Diaconate director looks back; tal ks of road ahead By DEACON JAMES N. DUNBAR
FALL RIVER -It was an uncertain road. with brave new concepts, no veterans or experts to call upon and a great deal of experimenting in the planning. 'That was the way it was in the early days of the permanent diaconate," said Msgr. John F. Moore, who, on July I, after 27 years of involvement will be leaving as director of the Permanent Diaconate Office. "It started in 1975, a year before my official appointment to direct the diaconate and before the interviews for the first candidates we conducted in 1977," Msgr. Moore recalled. "Bishop Daniel A. Cronin contacted me at St. William's Parish and asked me to go to Providence, R.I., and meet with people from various dioceses who were appointed permanent diaconate directors. It was my first revelation of what they were trying to do," he said. Vatican Council II in 1964 had restored the permanent diaconate to the ranks of the Church's hierarchy after it had faded in the 4th century and the diaconate itself became a step for men en route to the priesthood. New norms for the diaconate were established in June 1967. "It was so new. All we had were documents per se from the Council and it was really trial and error putting together a program," he said. "We knew the ideals and the goals, but to formulate it into a working program was something else. It truly was evolutionary, and still is evolving ... in a dramatic way right now. 'Thank God for the wonderful support Bishop Cronin gave to the program at its very outset," said Msgr. Moore. There were many hurdles.
"First of all, deacons are married clergy," Msgr. Moore noted. "When they were first ordained, we couldn't get them assignments because many pastors thought they were nothing more than glorified altar boys. Now we have a long list of pastors wanting deacons because of the great work they do." That becomes even more important with the declining number of vocations to the priesthood. "The whole focus in the local Church on the diaconate in the past 25 years has turned around completely," he added. "That's dramatic, a unique phenomena, considering the history of the Church." With 100 deacons in the Fall River diocese, the program is big, Msgr. Moore explained. "For th~ l~t year we have been in a transition discussion with Bishop Sean P. O'Malley, OFM Cap., taking a hard look at the program and where it's going. It looks like we need two distinct units - the formation of the deacons up to ordination and another, of continuing education afterwards." Msgr. Moore said it might mean two directors ... or two directors under one leader. "Forni~tionis not the two-year course it was when we began," he said. "This past class of ordained deacons, including the psychological process arid the review process and study took five years. The ability to make the courses relevant and train the deacon to meet the needs of the Church, not necessarily the needs of the deacon, is serious business." He added that as seen in the current crisis. within the Church, "the Church is ever changing." He made it clear that "the work Tum to page 11 - Diaconate

By DEACON JAMES N. DUNBAR DALLAS, Texas - Having voted with his fellow bishops to adopt legislation for U.S. dioceses to deal swiftly and firmly with allegations of sexual abuse of minors by clergy, Bishop Sean P. O'Malley, OFM Cap., says he walked away "confident that we had done things in a good and positive manner."

the living word
the moorinR-.. Seminary formation Amid all the difficulties and questions that have surfaced covering today's Church, none perhaps is more important than the formation of priests. Recently the bishops of Wales and England met in conference to zero in on this issue. Not only did they come together to discuss the merging of seminaries, but also to study new models for priestly training. As might be expected there are some parties that would argue for a complete overhaul of systems as we know it and others upholding the current seminary tradition. All agree that if we genuinely want the best-formed priest for the future then it is imperative that a model be developed which meets the demands of the times. This indeed seems to be a healthy approach. The seminary system emerged to meet the needs of the day. Post-Reformation Europe is far removed from our times. Seminaries were created for very different social and ecclesiastical circumstances than those that exist currently. Before the Council ofTrent the universities in Paris, Oxford and Cambridge etc., were the Church training institutes. After the turmoil of the Reformation, these institutions were not available or desirable for future Catholic priests. Trent created a new system for the needs of the times. Currently there are many in the Church who feel that we must find more suitable instruments for forming' priests. Now this does not surface as a revolutionary idea. Even within . our current seminary structures we have different models. Some countries have students living in houses of formation while attending local universities for studies. Each house is in the care of a priest chosen by the local bishop who oversees their' formation. Others have opted for living and studying in an in-house model, the traditional seminary. This system is designed to deal with young men of 18-27 years of age. This age standard is in great fluctuation. More and more older men are studying for the priesthood in special situations as reflected in the model of Pope John XXIII National Seminary. What all this tells us is that we must be open to models that will served the Church of tomorrow. Long gone are the days when "one size fits all." In a time when fewer men are being ordained to the priesthood and given the priestly difficulties that have scandalized our Church, we have no choice but to create methods of forming future priests that fully acknowledge the individual's gifts and talents within the context of their personal history careers and lifelong faithjoumeys. To be holy one needs to be whole. If an enlightened process of formation for priesthood is to become a reality producing the best of persons, then we will have the best of priests. The formation of men for the priesthood must begin on the very human level and provide the integrating dynamic of spiritual, academic and pastoral development. To achieve such a goal it should be obvious that the selection process is imperatively important. At all times in the ongoing development of such a process, we must strive to employ the best psycho.. logical tools at our disposal. In addition, the priests selected to share in seminary formation must also be well balanced individuals who seek not the mere shelter that academia provides, but are enthusiastically reflective role models of priesthood. We should no longer put people in a seminary because they are good teachers; they must also be compassionate reflections of the Lord himself. . As we energize ourselves in the Church to take on the brokenness of our times, let us all pray for vocations to the priesthood and respond to the challenge that seminary forination demands of us in the midst of our challenges.

A night路 in the .emergency room By
FATHER EUGENE HEMRICK CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE
Every so often God sends us tribulations that deepen our appreciation. One such tribulation recently sent me to the emergency room at Providence Hospital in Washington, D.C. As much as I like to keep my distance from doctors, the medical attention I received was not only comforting but filled with grace moments. The receptionist who first greeted me personified compassion. She knew I was in pain and conveyed her concern for me as she filled out the paperwork. . The second person, responsible for documenting the symptoms, embodied gentleness. Her kindness and concern for the details were more than welcome. The next person I saw exemplified concern. I don't know what her status was. I do know that she cared that I was in pain and wanted to move the process along as quickly as possible in order to alleviate it. After giving the required information, I returned to the waiting room and took my seat with many poor, suffering people. In convcr-

Pound for pound, the So~ can hold their own, talent-wise, against anyone in baseball. It's the attitude factor that spells the difference.

Re_sponse to uses of the pill Q. 1. I strongly disagree with physicians prescribe the pills for your response concerning the this and other serious gynecologimorality ofnoncontraceptive use cal disorders. The above three questions are of birth control pills. Pope Paul VI, in his encyclical "Humanae representative of the responses Vitae;' says all use of artificial which objected to my answer.

struation, menopause anomalies, etc.), the couple must refrain from intercourse. If they do not, that makes the pill a contraceptive for them and therefore immoral. (Texas) 3. You say that if other medical purposes are directly intended when taking birth control pills, there is no need for concern about their morality. The principle you present correctly is not applicable in every case, but only when the reason for their use is duly proportionate to the evil side effect that is foreseen and when no alternate treatment with a lesser evil side effect is available. (Japan) A. That column generated a load of mail - a huge stack of letters, and an equally h",ge stack of papers, tapes and books, the majority of which I already had accumulated during the past 40 years al)d some of which, in fact, I helped to write. In the original column, which obviously.{ cannot repeat in full, a woman ,asked about the morality of using birth control pills, prescribed by her physician to control irregular, heavy menstrual periods. Many
ous pills. That is not what the woman asked. Her question and my response were directed to moral, not medical, information. Furthermore, not all physicians who are competent, well-informed and have a high regard for human life agree on the pharmacological characteristics and indications of the chemical agents in oral contraceptives. Patients have a personal obligation to be sure their care-givers know their religious and moral convictions, and the consequent medical care they anticipate. In the column, I noted that some of the pills are abortifacient. Perhaps the majority are. As the priesttheologian in Japan notes above, that possible side effect, along with other negative effects stich as contraception, must be weighed in any moral judgment. As he rightly says, even when noncontraceptive intent is present, other considerations are essential. Included among them are a proportionately serious reason to utilize that particular therapy, and no alternative therapy must be available
with lesser moral or physical negative side effects. To reader No. I above, the "honest and serious reasons" to which Paul VI refers apply to reasons for using the pill as a contraceptive, not to using it for other purposes. The pope explicitly applies his remarks to contraceptive intent. Most other possible indications for the drugs were still at best medical novelties at the time he wrote. If chemicals in oral contraceptives are judged medically useful and effective for another serious physical disorder, basic moral principles would allow consideration of their use when that other use is directly intended, and the additional factors, such as those noted above, are weighed. The idea represented by reader No.2 is false, at least according to Catholic moral teaching. The fact that a wife is "on the pill" (which can have many different meanings) for other legiti mate, noncontraceptive purposes does not prohibit the couple from sexual in. tercourse. Having intercourse does not change the moral character of their use of the pill. Finally, a vast array of printed, audio and video materials is available with information on the physical effects of oral and other contra.ceptive techniques. Anyone desiring a brief list of resources is invited to write to me. A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about annulments is available by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Father John Dietzen, Box 325, Peoria, IL 61651.

St. Louis nuns take to softball field for Senior Olympics By JOSEPH KENNY CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE ST. LOUIS Sister Georgiann Wildhaber, a School Sister of Notre Dame who is president of Notre Dame High School in St. Louis, was late for the school's recent sports banquet because she was at softball practice. But this wasn't the students' practice. It was Sister Wildhaber's team - a team of School Sisters of Notre Dame'that competed in the annual St. Louis Senior Olympics, held recently. Students taught by the School Sisters of Notre Dame should take heed - the sisters practice what they preach when they say physical fitness is a lifetime commitment. Sister Wildhaber, who at 62 is the second-oldest player on the
team of women ages 50 and over, said playing provides many benefits. "Getting that physical exercise makes me feel better. I can do my work better. It helps my attitude," she told the St. Louis Review, newspaper of the St. Louis Archdiocese. In addition, it provides her an opportunity to interact with other sisters whom she otherwise wouldn't have a chance to visit. "We're all in such varied ministries. I call us a motley crew. It's the softball team that prings us together. We just have a wonderful time. We laugh and carry on." Last year was the first time the team competed in the Senior Olympics and though the sisters competed hard, winning wasn't in the cards. "It's really funny. We lost both
our games, but we got a bronze medal," Sister Wildhaber said. This year's team - which includes a few relatives of sisters to round out the roster - yielded the same results. The team has used the field at Notre Dame High School on the grounds of the ,order's motherhouse to practice. Playing their games at the Jewish Community Center provides a nice interfaith touch. Sister Barbara Brunsmann, who was instrumental in putting the teain. together, is a physical education instructor at two Catholic schools in the St. Louis area. She said she tries to get students to understand that physical education isn't just a one-day thing. . "It's not about being the best athlete," she said. "It's about being fit and enjoying life, doing
THEANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River- Fri., June 21, 2002 things you like that are fun." Sister Brunsmann has competed in several Senior Olympics events, including bicycle racing. Another School Sister of Notre Dame, Sister Lynne Schmidt, competes in 100-mile cycling events. Sister Brunsmann tells of

Pope" Orthodox Patriarch sign declaration on life By CINDY WOODEN CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE VATICAN CITY - Saying they were saddened by violence, poverty and pollution, Pope John Paul II and Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople signed a common declaration on respecting human life and safeguarding all creation. "What is required is an act of repentance on our part and a renewed attempt to view ourselves, one another and the world around us within the perspective of the divine design for creation," the two leaders said in the recent declaration. With a live television hookup linking the two, the patriarch signed the document in Venice, and the pope signed it at the Vatican. "Our meeting, even if at a distance, allows us to express together our common will to safeguard creation, to stand alongside of and support every initiative which can beautify, heal and preserve this

Titled "Altar Servers: Servants of Jesus," :the brochure contains Pope John Paul II's ad'dress to 22,000 altar servers during his 1,000th general audience last August. It was put out by the USCCB's secretariats on liturgy and vocations and its publishing office in late May. "In the liturgy you are far more than mere "helpers of the parish priest,''' the pope said in his address. "Above all, you are servants of Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest. "Thus you altar servers especially are called to be young friends of Jesus," he added. "Strive to deepen and foster this friendship with him. You will discover that in Jesus you have found a true friend for life." Pope John Paul also expressed the hope that altar servers would "take the light of the Gospel to all who live in darkness" and would consider a possible vocation to the priesthood or religious life.

"Everyone needs to know that there was a very strong endorsement, and it puts a mechanism in place in every diocese," he added. The norms were the second key clement in the bishops' effort to end the clergy abuse crisis. Shortly before adopting those norms, the bishops last Friday overwhelmingly approved - by a vote of 239 to 13 - a national "Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People" that says no priest or deacon can return to any form of ordained ministry if he has ever sexually abused a minor. That came on the final day of three days of the bishops' spring meeting bent on working out a pastoral document. The national guidelines require Church officials to report any allegation of a minor being abused by clergy and gave the rank-andfile an unprecedented role in policing the Church. Bishop O'Malley said that reporting of any incidents of abuse by clergy or those working for the
Diaconate of the deacon is totally invaluable in parish life. The deacon is involved in liturgies, baptisms, marriages and the instructions for both of them; hospital visitation, visiting the sick homebound and in nursing homes; and it goes on and on." And deacons also bring into the Church an experiential reality that people don't want to discuss: that deacons are clergy, married clergy, "with all the pluses and all the minuses." From day one, those in charge of the diaconate have made it clear to the candidates that the priority is: family, job, and then the diaconate. "That is a whole new look for the Church in the United States," Msgr. Moore said. "You have to fit all thatlogether. Sometimes it's like juggling things for the involved deacon. The priest doesn't have to juggle those things. So all that must be considered." As the program develops and matures, another factor to be considered more and more is the imp0l1ant role of the deacon's wife in the program. "It has been planned that instead ofjust the psychological testing for the deacon candidate, there will be testing for his wife as well," Msgr. Moore reported. "It is the best-we-can balance that is needed, because ministry and family life are each becoming more complicated. There must be a very healthy mental outlook for both husband and wife in the program." Whether to allow deacons to administer the sacrament of the sick has been a reoccurring issue in the Church. The permanent deacon's association in the United States has repeatedly asked Rome to allow deacons to anoint the sick. "But because of the complication in reference to the sacrament of reconciliation, which is reserved
Church "is really what is at the heart of the problem. The crisis today comes from the fact that the cases were not reported to civil authorities years ago when they came up. If that had been done, the matters would have been handled correctly," Bis'hop O'Malley asserted. "A lot of children's safety would have been ensured." While many people are using the word defrocked in asking action against the priests involved, the bishop said "I think the priests have been defrocked by the bishops in a way that is immediate and universal." One aspect of the policy allegedly drawing criticism is that while past abusers will be stripped of duties, they will be allowed to remain in the priesthood. But Bishop O'Malley made it clear that "bishops cannot laicize priests. That is a lengthy and convoluted process that depends on Rome. Certainly bishops can petition for laicization of a priest ... and as a matter of fact are prepar-

The impression from Bishop Bishop O'Malley called it "a Gregory, who had met earlier legal fiction to talk of the differwith Pope John Paul II, and also ence between being laicized and completely removed from minis- from the Cardinals who met with the pope in recent weeks, "was try."

"According to civil law, they become mandated reporters of issues - such as abuse - and we

were planning a new study session for all deacons. We must keep up with the evolution of the permanent deacon in the Church. It is not a stagnant reality. It is something that is growing and we don't want to get bogged down in the little details and miss the big picture." Looking at the Church in the United States today shows approximately half of the 27,000 deacons in the world ministering here. Oddly enough, when the documents came up for a vote in the Council,. American bishops were not very happy in supporting it. And it was never considered seriously in other parts of the
board to formulate and oversee our local policies," Bishop O'Malley commented. "While all local policies will have to be brought into conformity with the national Charter and the norms, ours pretty much· are." The bishop said that in the Fall River diocese "everyone has become a mandated reporter since I arrived." The Dallas meeting also had many emotional moments, Bishop O'Malley reported. "The sessions when the victims of abuse spoke with the bishops were very poignant." he said. "I think that was a very important part of the meeting because some of the bishops had never sat down and talked with them before. I knew nothing about pedophilia until I came to the Fall River diocese and had to deal with the Porter crisis. The hours and hours of interviews I had with victims at that time really educated me to the seriousness ofthe problem and the dire consequences in people's lives that sexual abuse brings."
world. "It was never given any interest in Ireland," Msgr. Moore said. "England has a good outlook on it, and the German Church would be right behind the American Church in the number of deacons. In the Third World countries, they still depend on catechists, because of their culture. It shows we should never excuse ourselves from the workings of the Holy Spirit." Msgr. Moore has strong opinions about the diaconate's importance. "I think the permanent diaconate is one of the greatest things to have come out of Vatican II. We must continue to support it not only by way of the Council documents but expand its continuation within the Code of Canon Law." Asked whether handing the reins of the diaconate over to Msgr. John J. Oliveira would create a void in his own life, Msgr. Moore offered more opinions. "I think what happens to all of us is that we think we have possession of everything and every now and then we need a change to get a new view of yourself and not just the program. A person is not a program. When a person becomes the program, then the Church is in di fficu lty." Still on his agenda of growing demands is being pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in North Falmouth; still being the director of the Diocesan Office of Communications and remaining the executive editor and editorial writer of the diocese's newspaper, The Anchor. What else? "Well, perhaps a radio program. Last but not least, people do not live forever. I will be 69 this July. I have six more official years of ministry. But unofficially, I hope I can remain in ministry for a long time ... and we have a heritage of long life in our family."

Discovering your real world By CHARLIE NO SUCH THING Welcome to the real world, 'she said to me Condescendingly Take a seat Take your life Plot it out in black and white Well I never lived the dreams of the prom king And the drama queens I'd like to think the best of me Is still hiding up my sleeve They love to tell you Stay inside the lines But something's better On the other side Refrain: I wanna run through the halls of my high school I wanna scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world Just a lie you've got to rise above So the good boys and girls take the so-called right track Faded white hats Grabbing credits, maybe transfers They read all the books but they can't find the answers All of our parents They're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better While in their memories Tiny tragedies (Repeat second verse.) (Repeat refrain.) I am invincible As long as I'm alive (Repeat refrain.) I just can't wait until my 10-year reunion I'm gonna bl,lst down the double doors And when I stand on these

Matthews. Others see him as the ultimate revenge of the nerds, given his very regular guy looks. "Roiling Stone" calls his "Room for Squares" disc "instantly likeable, an irresistible album." Off that CD is his current single "No Such Thing." The song describes the moment when a teen awakens to this idea: "I just found out there's no such thing as the real world!" He has heard that he should "Take a seat. Take your life. Plot it out in black and white." He says, 'They love to tell you, Stay inside the lines. But something's better on the other side." He wonders about the "socalled right track." He says, "I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve." Almost all teens face this com-
truly hear what others are saying, but then to make a judgment about how to proceed. If you make a mistake, the error also becomes part of your learning path, an avenue to self-understanding. No one lives on this planet without making mistakes. God made each of us "right." This does not mean that each of us always does everything "right." We often need to correct behaviors or attitudes that hurt us or ourselves. But God also made us individuals. You must discover the interests and talents that bring meaning and zest to your life. You have the opportunity to bring out the best in yourself for the good of others. Ask God to help you find what conveys the goodness of your own soul - the specific ways you were formed in the image and likeness of the Creator. Given God's assistance, you have every reason to believe in yourself and go forward into a life . of promise and adventure. God will help you find the courage and confidence to make the most out ofthe precious gift of your life.

The trouble with forbidden fruit By AMY WELBORN CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE My oldest son, now almost 20, approached his 17th birthday with a sense of triumph. Over me, naturally. "You know, mom, when I tum 17 I can go to R-rated movies," he crowed, and added before I could say what he knew I was going to say, "If I pay for them , with my own money." True enough. He had a car. He had a job. He could do that. About four months later he finally got around to it - and thought the movie was really lousy, by the way. My middle son recently journeyed through the same birthday and made the same claim in the same triumphant tone of voice. And acouple of months later, he's
still not made it either. It's funny how that works, isn't it? If it's forbidden, there's nothing more attractive. Once it's permitted. who cares? I guess that's why they call it forbidden fruit. It looks luscious from a distance, but up close, who knows for sure? Maybe, or maybe not. Life is funny that way. What we're not able to do seems so much more fun than what we can do. The goals we haven't reached seem so much more exciting than the boring place we're in right now. You've probably experienced both sides of this. Nothing seemed more exciting than being able to drive on your own - until three months later when you'd

Coming of
flge fourth grade and thinking that the eighth-grade girls were the most glamorous, mature beings on planet Earth, scarcely able to imagine that one day I, too, would be in their number. But, no sooner than I knew it, I was in ninth grade, and eighth-graders looked like pipsqueaks, while seniors were our idols; we couldn't imag-
ine that we ever thought being in eighth grade was cool, even for a second. Don't worry. Adults experience this too. They're always looking at other people's lives with envy or imagining that they'll be happy when the weekend comes, or vacation comes, or they get a new job, or they retire. And before they know it, they "are" retired, with only one final - really final - goal in front of them, and a lifetime of thinking about the other side of the fence and its greener grass behind them. It's exciting and fun to work toward goals. The anticipation of the future is what keeps us going. But the sometimes less-thanshiny reality of a goal that's met can depress us. Don't let it. Learn a lesson
from it instead - maybe acouple of lessons. First, it's really important to live in the present. A wise person once said to me that if you spend your life wishing for the good things in the future, you'll end up wishing your life away. Second, knowing this about life might help you make tough moral decisions. After all, most of our difficult choices are difficult because what's on the other side is so enticing. If you're faced with that kind of choice, it might help you to remember all the times in the past you've finally been allowed to pick some formerly forbidden fruit and found it tasted not sweet but rather ordinary instead, and maybe not worth the trouble it took to pick it in the first place.
