tions? When asked, the new priests had a variety of answers.

Father Hamel said that he sees a societal pressure against any form of religion, and a question­ ing of the purpose of religious life.

Father Costa sees society as too fast paced and flighty, and notes that there is a general fear of commitment among' its mem­ bers. "There are unrealized vo­ cations out there, though, "he added.

I( of C to finance fac·elift. fo,r St. Peter's,

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The marble facade of St. Peter's Ba­ silica is undergoing the first ex­ tensive restoration ,jn .its 350­ year history with financial sup­ port from the Knights of Colum­ bus.

The .p·roject involves repairs to the facade's surface, the 13 5tatues arrayed along its top, two marble friezes ov~r large clocks on either side, and the 12 supporting columns.

It will take over a year to complete th~ work:, said Arch­ bishop Lino Zanini, head of the Vatican office overseeing the renovation. He declined to' esti­ mate the 'cost of the project, which began in mid-April, but said it would be high in labor. and materials.

Scaffolding for workers has al­ ready been erected on one side of the facade.

Archbishop Zaninl said in a re­ cent.· interview with National Catholic News Service that the 390 - foot - wide, 150 - foot- - high structure and its 18·plus statues "clearly show need of radical re­ storation work." The facade has become "less resistant to atmos­ pheric agents and increasing pollution." ' Plans call for' replacing. the statues' rusting iron supports with stainless steel bands, strengthening'the molding around windows and sealing cracks in the marble with special chemi­ cals. ' The 'Knights'hetame involved in the project following conver­ sations involving Supreme Knight Virgil 'C. Dechant, Archbishop Zanini and Count Enrico. Gale­

azzi, chief representative at the Vatican for 50 years.

A spokesman at the organiza­ tion's headquarters in New Ha­ ven, Conn., said no estimate .of .the cost to be borne by the .Knights has been. made. He said the organization pllins to pay t~e cost of work or materials which are beyond the Vatican's resources.

Smaller restoration projects, chiefly for safety purposes, have been carried out at various times in .the basilica;s history, .Arch­ bishop Zanini said. In the first half of the 19th century, iron support bands' were placed around the statues - of Christ, St. John the Baptist and 11 of the 12 apostles - atop the fa­ cade. The statue of St. Peter is in front of the basilica.

Rust has made the bands "no longer capable of providing sup­ port," Archbishop Zanini said. .

Noting that her order, the Missionaries of Charity, is en· joying an abundance of voca· tions, Mother Teresa said the young women who want to join

her order do so because they are

"hungry for the life of poverty."

Ait a press conference before

her speech, Mother Teresa was asked what she thought of to­ day's nuns who lived in their

own apartments and held "social

worker" positions.

"We bind ourselves with vows according to our constitutions," said the missionary.

Her own order's constitution, she said, requires community living. If one's constitution ale lows for separate living in apart­

ments, she said, then so be it.

She was also asked about a controversial story that origina­ ted from an Indian news agency last year stating that Mother Teresa thought women would make better priests than men.

She remembered the story, she said, nodding and smiling. "A gentlemen came to interview me and asked what I thought about women being priests and I said, 'No one could have been a better priest ,than Our Lady, but she MOTHER TERESA receives Medal of Freedom from President Reagan as Mrs. Rea­ did the work of God as a hand­ gan applauds.

Celebrating the Fourth Next week this nation pauses to celebrate its national inde­ pendence, the great and glorious Fourth. Each year the holi­ day seems to be ce:lebrated with reference to the present time rather than to the historical event itself.

This year;s celebration will be no exception. The fact that Americans are being held hostage casts a shadow on the fact of national independence. Citizens of the United States are ~een to have little control o~er their own destini~s, even on an American airline.

We fly flags on the Fourth as a sign of patriotism; yet we are impotent to safeguard the'rights and freedoms of our citizens in t,he face oftoday's hostage mentality. In the irony of history, we are becoming prisoners of the world. 'Thisyear a'nation ,proud' of its 'independence realize.P how dependent it is on the ' , '" , fancies ()fthe fanatic.

We fly a flag this holiday that recently draped the coffins of murdered American Marines as well as that of the murdered hostage. The petty politics of central America has once again' exacted'its toll in American blood. ' . .

Inv,olvement of the United States in Central America is a real possibility. The, whys and wh~refores of the situation provide debate material for, all factions; yet the 'fact remains that Americans are still dying in foreign places. For them the flag of independence has ceased to fly. ' , " These examples remind us all that the Fourth of July must not become a, mere fun day. Then~ should be at least a few moments taken to pause and consider the realities our country faces in its continUled struggle for independence. . ' We shouldnot view the declaration .of 17?6asa mere echo of the past. It should also be for all of us the, expression of expectations yet to be fulfilled.

First and, foremost it should be a call to each and every citizen to renewed belief that all men, women and children are ' .. created equal. , This has particular meaning today wh~.nmillions of citizens are debarred from complete enjoyment of their rights beca,use ofrace or rel~gion; wh~nAmericans,for-example,are thought of as second-class citizens because they are Black or Catholic.

Even more important; this holid~y of independence should remin.d us that ;th(: founding fathers vigorously set forth the principle that all men, ·women and children "are endowed ,by their Cr~ator' with certain unalienable rights" and that'among :! these the first is the right to life.

The fact of governmental support of abortion is in grave, conflict with this right and is indeed a nati.onal disgrace,. The red stripes of Old Gioty truly symbolize the blood' of the innocentvicti~s of legalized abortion. ," ','." .

Some would say that the only right Americans hold sacred ' today iSJ~ilt,of the pursuit of happiness. Life a~d liberty have 0 in many current situations gone by' the board. hFfuany ways', this statement is not an exaggeration. Even 'in"its p'rop~r con­ text, the pursuit of happiness should flow from. the,' pro'Her priorities that life and liberty present.

Happine'ss will never be achieved as long as life is denied or liberty held captlv(:.

In our.own pursuit of happines~ durip.g this Fourth of July holiday, should we not remember those who have been denied life and those whose freedom is in hostage?

It would be wrong for any American to think that all is well.

True, we may possess the best experiment in social govern­ ment on Earth. But we might remind ourselves that as citizens of a democracy, we can make it better.

We celebrate on this holiday not only what we are but, perhaps more than ever this year, what we can be. ' The Editor

Science and religion

By Father Kevin J. Harrington An abundance of literature by scientists and theologians has been devoted to the rdationship of sci­ ence and religion. This topic has been a constant source of fascina- . tion and frustration to me as I have followed, its developmerit among contemporary scientists and theologians. .' I One of the ,best books on the su.bject is "God and the New Phys­ ics'~byPaul Davies, published in 1984 by Simon & Shuster. Profes­ sor Davies illuminates recent under- . standing of-quantum mechanics and relativity and applies these insights to the age-old questions of existence. His speculation on the origin a~d destiny of our universe raises new questions that force the reader to reexamine previously taken for granted concepts. , Historically, science has an­ swered many questions that pre­ viously invoked God as the only solution available' of an· unex­ pll!-ined phenomenon. j"

Professor Davies is critical of

this 'so-called "God of the gaps."

] He contends that if God is to be

Certainly the wonder and awe of scientists who probe into the subatomic world closely approx­ imate the wonder and, awe of reli­ gious man contemplating the ma­ croscopic beauty of nature. The balance between the reductionist and .holistic approach to the study of nature is s~ important. Just as our brain is more than a biochemi­ cal brew of neurons, there is more to matter than meets' our minds.

The laws of physics are models 'constructed .from logical consis­ tencies expressed in mathematical formulas. The strength of classical physics lay in its demonstration of simple mathematical laws with macroscopic models. We are prob­ ably. all familiar with the model of gravity as defined by Sir Isaac Newton and of the laws of motion as. applied to frictionless billiard balls. These laws prove their utility in such limited circumstances be­ cause of the advances in science made by such men as Neils Bohr and Albert Einstein. .

While the hypothesized effects of quantum mechanics and relativ­ ity have been experimentally con­ firmed in the past five decades, their philosophical implications have not.been fully appreciated by theologians.. Yet the understand­ ing of topics such as the nature of time, the origin of matter and life, causality and determinism, and indeed, the very conceptual frame­ work within which religious ques­ tions are posed has. been altered inexorably by advances in quan­ tum mechani~s, aqd f!:la~iyity.

This is not to say that Judeo­

Christian doctrine. has been ren­

dered meaningless by our improved

understanding of space and time

or our new insights into the origin

and destiny ofthe universe. Science

and religion can provide sure paths

to the same source of all 'truth.

Science rewards the skeptic by sharing the eleg~nce and b,eauty of nature as revealed in the bright light of the scientific method. Reli­ gion rewards the believer by shar­ ing the awe and wonder encoded in the traces of God's creation dis­ covered in the illuminating light of faith. Many paths lead to the same God. I personally find a synthesis of science and religion spiritually , fruitful. Ratherthan positing God. as intervening in every step of creation and evolution, I find it comforting to believe in a Supreme Being who stepped back and allowed'the laws of physics to unfold until the moment that a creature capable of distinguishing good from evil evolved, at which point he infused his spirit. . Thus, when' I contemplate the cold laws of nature and the vast­ ness of the universe I can simul­ taneously envision the gra'ndeur of creation with the awe and wonder described by scientists as elegance and beauty; and I can recognize ' with the eyes of faith the workings of human reason and free will put­ ting God's will in action on this planet and in this time.

A need 'for order

Many people today are con­ cerned that the United States is losing its competitive edge when it comes to matching the quality of foreign products. Is the quality of education to blame?

Because of concern about this, a new emphasis on programs in mathe­ matics and science is beginning to emerge in educational institutions.

Recently, in hearings on Capitol Hill, aid to programs in mathe­ matics and science was discussed.

In the process some interesting points about the state of education in the United States today were reported. .

Some who testified said that the entire educational system needs upgrading, not just math and science. Along with the question­ able state of such skills as reading and writing, other disturbing inad­ equacies were reported.

If restoring a competitive edge in the United States requires qual­ ity education, where should tea­ chers a.nd parents look to improve it?

One area we should look at, I believe, is the basic need for a mea­ sure of order in education. Not regimentation, mind you, but order.

For this can serve as a way of expressing personal concern for students.

The Greek philosopher Plato commented on the worth of music in education, and his comment

A mother told of her kinder­ gartner coming home excitedly the day before Thanksgiving. Clad in a paper Indian headress and war paint, he came in proudly beating his oatmeal box tom-tom only to hear his superior and aged 8 year­ old sister, say, "Are they still doing that in kindy-garden?" in a voice laden with riducule. The kinder­ gartner tore off his headress and threw it and the tom-tom in the trash.

Let's look at some assumptions fundamental to this issue.

---Pro-life statement

WASHINGTON (NC) - Car­ dinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chi­ cago recently used the op-ed page of The Washington Post to argue against granting abortion the sta­ tus of a civil right under proposed legislation. The cardinal's article said that the U.S. bishops "are firmly, irrevocably and unequivo­ cally in favor of civil rights" but also "firmly, irrevocably and unequi­ vocally opposed to the notion that abortion can properly be viewed as a 'civil right.' " The cardinal chairs the U.S. bishops' Commit­ tee for Pro-Life Activities.

Sibling influence

Tim is the oldest child in his family. When he was the only child, he thrilled to experiences like the circus, the zoo and Sesame Street.

But now that he is a "soph­ isticated" eleven year-old, he finds the zoo a drag and says so. "Do we hafta go and see all the baby mon­ keys?" he asks with disdain. "That's for babies.~' His little brother, Mark, wor­ ships the elder and wiser Tim. Mark listens. And Mark says, "Yea, let's not go the the zoo."

His parents are baffled ;lnd angry. Mark has been asking to go to the zoo for weeks, ever since his six year-old friends told about the antics ofthe various zoo newborns.

But Mark has absorbed Tim's message. Zoos are for little kids, and, above anything else, Mark doesn't want to be considered little

by Tim. So Mark relinquishes the rightful joy, wonder and curiosity of the six year-old child to win the approval of his older brother. ' In another family, 12 year-old Maura eyes her 16 year-old sister and begins to mimic her behavior, clothing and interests. Instead of the giggly pajama parties her sister loved at twelve, Maura begs for rock concerts.

How can I help out?

Q. Does the Catholic Church

have a group of missionaries or

volunteers working in Ethiopia?

I feel like God is asking me to put aside my worldly ways and help out. How can I get more !!1.formation? (Missouri) In my view, the best places to start are with two agencies which have remarkable and enviable records for helping serve serious needs in other countries. They are the Catholic Relief Services and the Catholic Medical Mission Board. .

You're probably familiar with CRS at least through the collec­ tion taken up around the nation each year for its work. In addition to emergency, disaster-type assist­ ance, it also attempts to initiate long-term developments in de­ prived regions of the world.

CRS maintains offices or local representatives in about 70 coun­ tries, so it needs a small army of volunteers (and paid worl<ers) of all kinds - skilled and unskilled, professional and non-professional.

You can get more information from their headquarters at 1101 First Avenue, New York, N.Y, 10022.

The medical mission board, as its name indicates, is more special­ ized. It provides medical supplies and offers medical and paramedi­ cal personnel for hospitals, clinics ' and dispensaries in many coun­ tries. Not all workers need training specifically in medical care, how­ ever.

You may write to Father Joseph Walter, S.J., .director of the Cath­ olic Medicat Mission Board at 10 W. 17th St., New York, N.Y. 10011.

Please follow up on your desire to help. You certainly are needed somewhere. If you get stuck let me know and we'll continue looking.

Q. A columnist in our daily paper said that Catholics are no longer excommunicated from the church if they are divorced. Is this true? (Florida) A. Contrary to what many Cath­ olics still believe, Catholic men and women were never excom­ municated for obtaining a divorce.

In our country, since one of the 'Councils of Baltimore in the last century, Catholics were' excom­ municated if they attempted anoth­ er marriage outside the church after a civil divorce. That provi­ sion was revoked, however, in 1977.

Thus, even Catholics who at­ tempt marriage outside of church law after a divorce are no longer excommunicated. That does not mean that the new marriage is re­ cognized according to church reg­ ulations; simply that the person is .still acknowledged as a full member of the Catholic family.

Q. What is the reason for chang­ ing the word "creator" to "maker" in our Profession of Faith at Mass?

The word "maker" has a "down­ grading and untrue implication of the beginning of the world. Why the change in the Nicene Creed?

(New Jersey) A. The change was made because the word "maker" is a more exact translation of the Nicene Creed,

5

By FATHER JOHN DIETZEN

both in the original Greek and in the Latin versions.

The creed, which resulted from the first ecumenical council which took place at Nicaea in Asia Minor, uses the Greek word "poietes."

The usual Latin translation ofthat is "factor." Both words literally mean maker rather than creator.

As long as we're on the subject, this same reason explains some changes in the wording of several parts of the Mass during the past 20 or 30 years. The new wording is simply a more exact translation.

I get some questions, for exam­ ple, asking why in the same creed we now say "we believe" when the Latin of the so-called old Mass said "credo," I believe.

The reason is that the most authentic texts of the Council of Nicaea use the plural both in Greek and in Latin for that verb. "We believe" is a more correct transla­ tion, therefore, 'than "I believe."

For anyone 'familiar with the texts involved, all of them in our new mass are remarkable, at least in their accuracy and fidelity to the ancient texts of our faith. From this viewpoint, at least, the scho­ lars performed a remarkable and highly professional service to the church in the English-speaking world.

Q. If a Catholic is cremated, what kind of religious ceremony, burial rites and so on are permit­ ted? (North Carolina) A. The Rite of Funerals explic­ itly provides that full Catholic rites are permitted for those who choose to have their bodies crem­ atl:d, unless that choice were made for some reason' in conflict with Christian beliefs.

The funeral Mass or other cere­ monies may be held with the body present before cremation. Or the body may be cremated and a mem­ orial Mass celebrated sometime later, such as is routinely done for people who donate their bodies for scientific purposes.

When the ashes are buried, the usual cemetery rites may be per­ formed.

A.frican bishops CAPE TOWN, South Africa (NC) - The Southern African Catholic bi~hops have called on Catholics to mourn and pray for the people killed and injured in the latest wave of racial unrest in South African townships.

"Now, still stun­ ned by the shooting of so many people in Langa, Uitenhage and Port Elizabeth, we face the ende­ mic unrest, killings and clashes that continue day after day, in one place after another."

Catholic Charities head asks Reagan tax plan 'changes

WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Conference of Catholic Charities has told the Senate Finance Committee that it suP-. ports aspects' of President Rea­ gan's :tax plan which help the poor' but that it seeks further· improvements, including a steep­ er tax rate for the rich.

Msgr. Jerome Boxleitner,' na­ tional president of Catholic Charities and executive director of Catholic Chari,ties in the Arch· . diocese of' St. Paul-Mi nneapolis, urged eight changes in the Rea­ gan tax plan now under consid­ eration by Congress.

His recommendations include a fourth or even fifth. tax rate applied to' the rich; retention of a .credit for child care expenses; equal treatment of single-parent and two-paTent families; Ilmd other provisions for nonwealthy Americans.

He also said that while Catholic Charities had taken no position .on the president's plan to elimin­ ate the f.ederal tax deduction for state and local tax payments, it was concerned that the elimina­ tion would hurt those !ltates and localities which have done most for the least fortunate.

"The poor represent some of the most vulnerable and power­ less persons. in our country,"

Nervegasfunding opposed by usee

WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. Catholic Conference has ex­ pressed opposition to renewed production of. binary nerve gas and has called for "multilateral reductions and, ultimately, the abolition of chemical weapons."

- The USCC expressed its posi­ tion in a 'letter to members of . the House of. Representatives shortly before the House voted to end a 16·year mOratorium on nerve 'gas production.

In the letter, Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye, USCC general secretary, expressed "fear that the addition or substitution of binary nerve gas weapons may 'well create the im}?ression that the U.S. contem-

plates the' waging of chemical warfare."

The HoUSe approved $124.5 million for the production of chemical weapons consisting of two chemicals that are harmless until mixed together. The vote came af.ter heavy .Iobbying by' the White House.

"A cardinal' feature of Cath­ olic ethical teaching on war is the' prohibition of attacks . on non-combatants," ·Msgr. Hoye said. \

"Perhaps . it is possible that soldiers on the battlefield can protect themselves against chemi­ cal weapons, but a battlefield ex·

change of chemical weapons in Europe would result in Wide­ spread indiscriminate and un­ preventable lethal contamination of adjacent areas and their civi­ lian populations," he said.

He . Iso noted that the U.S. bishops, in their 1983 peace pas­ toral, had called for observance of international prohibitions against production and use of chemical and biological weapons.

- The Senate already has passed a bill authorizing $163 million for production of new chemical weapons. Differences between the House and Senate versions will be reconciled by a confer­ ence committee.

Vatican aslis

Medjugorje

visits halt

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., June 28, 1985

Mother Teresa

VATICAN CITY (NC) ..... The Vatican has asked that pilgrim­ ages ito the Yugoslavian site of reported Marian apparitions be stopped pending completion of a study of the situation by local church authorities, a Vatican spokesman said June 20.

It was the first time the Vati­ can had spoken publicly about the controversial situation in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. The Vatican decision supports calls by local church authorities for a halt to pilgrimages.

The decision came in a letter to the Ita,lian bishops' conference from Archbishop Alberto Bo­ vone, secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Many Medjugorje pil­ grimages origina'te in Italy, which borders Yugoslavia.

The letter does not take a position on the validity of the apparitions hut discourages pil­ grimage until a Yugoslavian church commission completes in­ vestigation of, the case.

The apparitions to six young people are said to have begun in a field outside the city in 1981 and later to have moved to a chapel in 5t. James Church in Medjugorje.

Shol't,ly after the reported ap­ paritions began, Bishop Pavao Zanic of Mostar-Duvno, the dio­ cese in which Medjugorje is iocated, appointed an dnvestiga­ ting commission. In March 1984, the commission asked an end to the pilgrimages, saying the au­ thenticity of the apparitions had r.ot been established.

The Yugoslavian Communist government also has opposed pil­ grimages, saying local priests are using the situation to foment political opposition to the gov­ ernment.

The case is a-lso controversial within the Yugoslavian hierarchy.

Bishop Zanic has called the ap­ paritions a case of "collective hallucination" which has been exploited by :Iocal Franciscan priests who want to assert "the authority of the Madonna" in 11 longstanding dispute with him over parish control.

Bishop Zanic said in February that he decided the vision reports were false when he :learned that some of the Madonna's alleged messages supported the priests who refused to relinquish parish control to him.

Supporting the validity of the visions has been Archbishop Frane I'ranic of 5plit-Makarska, Yugoslavia.

"Speaking as a believer and not as a bishop, my personal conviction is that the events at Medjugorje are of supernatural inspiration," the archbishop said last December. He said he based his conclusion on the "prayer, penitence and conversions" pro­ duced by the apparitions.

DOROTHY FRANKS holds a picture of herself in 'front of the Statue of Liberty taken for Life magazine in 1956.

(NC Photo)

She's related to 'The Lady"

BOISE, Idaho (NC) - Seeing the .Statue of Liberty brings a feeling like "some very special grace" to Dorothy Franks of Boise, a descendant of the sta­ tue's sculptol.', 'Frederic Bart­ holdi. .

Bartholdi was her great-great­ grandfa,ther and his mother was the model for the face of the statue. Mrs. Frank's great-great­ grandmother - Bartholdi's wife - was the model for the body, Mrs. Franks said. The copper statue, given to the United States in 1,884 by France as a goodwill gesture and erected in New York Harbor in 1886, is af­ fectionately known as The Lady.

It is now being restored in pre2lration for its centennial, July 4, 1986. Funds for the $39 million project are being raised through a national campaign reminiscent of the 1884 drive that collected donations for the statue's pedestal, which cost $225,000.

The current undertaking wiU include replacement of the 1600 wrought iron bands that hold Liberty's copper skin to her frame and replacement of her torch. Installation of an elevator will offer an alternative Ito the narrow stairs that have been climbed by millions to reach The Lady's head and a spectacular view of New York Harbor and ,lower Manhattan.

"I have quite an emotional feeling about the statue," Mrs. Franks, a member of St. Mark Parish in Boise, told the Idaho Register, newspaper of the Boise Diocese. "I feel proud that I have a connection with it.

Until 1956, when Mrs. Franks was 32. and Ihing in Rock Springs, Wyo., she said she didn't think much ahout he connection with the Statue of Liberty. Her first husband was kHied dn Korea and she was busy raising their two daughters.

But the American Museum of

Immigra'tion was looking for a descendant of ,the artist to help raise funds to build a museum. at the base of the statue. Mrs. Franks went to New York, where she appeared on the old Gary Moore program with Douglas Fairbanks Jr., had her picture taken with the statue for Life magazine, and gathered informa­ tion about her artist-ancestor.

"Bar-tholdi was two years old when his father died," Mrs. Franks said. "His mother kept her two boys really under her thumb. She was a very strong influence on the boys' lives;" As a young man Bartholdi studied art in Egypt and was fascinated by the large sculp­ tures there, she' said, and that is why he made the Statue of Liberty' so large. It is still one of the largest in the world ­ standing 151 feet tall and weigh­ ing 100 tons.

Mrs. Franks said her great­ great-grandfather had a lot of respect for his mother and ad­ mired her feathres. "He thought her face would be ideal for the statue," she said. "She was older, though, and he 'did not want to subject her to long sittings so he kept 100king for someone who could:be he model for the body."

Finally Bartholdi saw a wom­ an at a friend's wedding, He liked the way she held her head and carried herself. He asked if she would be his model 'and she accepted, according to Mrs. Franks.

She said Bartholdi fell in love with the young model, who was a seamstress, but he was afraid to tell his mother for fear she would think a seamstress was not good enough for him.

While in the United States in 1876 making arrangements for the Statue of Liberty, Bartholdi scmt for Jean Emily and married her, Mrs. Franks said. Only then did he take her home to France to meet his mother.

Continued from Page Three Adoption and "helping moth­ ers wherever, whenever, to want the child" are ways to prevent abortion, said the Missionaries of Charity founder who plans to open a second U.S. home for unwed mothers. "If they don't want them - 'tell them Mother Teresa and her sisters want them," she told the applauding crowd.

Speaking June 22 at UMass Amherst at a rally sponsored by the Blue Army of Fatima, Mother Teresa said ,that God works through babies to show his love for humanity. "How frightening to think that :litt:1e lives are killed by their own mothers," she said.

In Toronto Mother Teresa told families and friends of Air India crash victims to keep "hearts clear from anger."

"We cannot understand why this happened," she told some 100 people at a prayer meeting.

"But let us ask a special gift of God - . that we may keep our hearts clear from anger - be­ cause _we need Ito forgive in times like this, so it doesn't de­ stroy the joy and peace in our hearts.

Surinder Malik, India's consul general in Toronto, said Mother Teresa brought great solace to

the people he represents.

"We're grateful to God that today, in our crisis, we have the symbol of love and mercy, Mother Teresa, here to comfort us," he said.

Krishnarao Venkat'araman, sec­ retary of ,the Hindu Temple So­ ciety of Canada in Toronto, who said he knew about 50 of the pa.ssengers on ,fHght 182, said it was an eerie coincidence that Mother Teresa was in Toronto when the Canadian East Indian community needed her so des­ perately.

"She brings compassion into all the community . . . She is accepted in India as a real saint," he said.

Several times throughout the day, Mother Teresa held private meetings with bereaved families of the disaster victims. She said he.r mind was "at home" with the people of India.

Earlier in the day, she intro­ duced four sisters who will be­ come street workers in the Park­ dale area, a lakefront neighbor­ hood where many of Toronto's homeless poor live.

The four sisters, who come from India,' Yugoslavia and France, will aid the poor on a one-to-one basis, but everyone can do his or her share to help, said Mother Teresa.

Death anniversary for Opus Dei head

Says it's' risky

to take Council

seriously

NEW YORK (NC) - Members of religious orders· have beco'me "dangerous" because they took the renewal directives of the Second Vatican Council more seriously than they were expected to, Sister Clare Fitzgerald told the recent National Assembly of Religious Brothers.

But she said that "we haven't become dangerous enough," and challenged the brothers to give their witness greater credibility by conforming their lives more closely to the Gospel.

Sister Fitzgerald, a Schoo,l Sis­ ter of Notre Dame and a former president of the Leadership Con­ ference of Women Religious who teaches in the graduate department of education at BoSton College, was the keynote speaker at the association's annual assembly at Manhattan College in New York.

The college is ·operated by the Christian Brothers.

Sister Fitzgerald said Vatican II called on religious orders to read the Gospel, return to their original charisms and read the signs of the times.

"We did exactly as we were told," she said. Because the orders went back to the "radicalism" of their founders, she said; they will never be the same. "The tooth­ paste will never go back in the tube".

Sister Fitzgerald described the post-Vatican II experience of reli­ gious orders in terms of the Israel­ ite exodus from Egypt and the subsequent Babylonian exile. Reli­ gious, she said, were called to "leave the monuments and tem­ ples of the past" and then to learn how to "sing the Lord's song in a strange land."

Religious have begun to change the forms of their lives, she said, and have undertaken new minis­ tries of service to groups such as abused children, battered women, th.e divorced, new im~igrants, migrant workers, alcohohcs, drug addicts and the homeless.

She said the primary challenge to religious was to demonstrate in their own lives that the Gospel can be lived on Earth. "We have to be what we clailll> to be," she said.

NEW YORK (NC) - Cardinals Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago and Bernard f. Law of Boston were among U.S. bishops who Sister Fitzgerald praised the officiated at memorial Masses mark­ ing the 10th anniversary of the example of Brazilian bishops de­ death of Msgr.

Your name and how to change it

By ATTY. ARTHUR MURPHY

& ATTY.

RICHARD MURPHY

.r....

So you've finally decided to become a rock and roll star.

But there's still one factor separating yciu from fame and fortune: your name. Thousands of screaming'teenagers are not going to pay twelve dollars to see the latest sensation if his name is Bill Bland. You'd rather be Ace Rhythm or Soul Survivor, but you really don't know how to l;hange your name.

his or her name without any legal proceedings, as long as the change is being made for honest purposes.

In other words, all you really have to do to change your name is start calling yourself by your new name.

But, there is one situation where you may have to officially recora , your name:change; when you get married. You will have to state your married name on your mar­ riage certificate. So, if you intend to take your spouse's name, or some hyphenated combination of your two, names,you'll have to record that name on your mar­ riage certificate.

Of course, you'll have some trouble with an unofficial name change when you're asked to pro­ duce two picture I.D.'s verifying your ,assertion that you are the Soul Survivor.

If you're serious about this name change and you'd like it officially recognized,. Massachusetts law pro­ vides a way. You can petition the Probate Court, in the county where you live', for an official court decree changing your name. You can file the petition yourself, or consult a lawyer. The petition should include some basic information about your­ self:, your marital status, the date of your birth, your places of resi­ de,nce ~nd your present, qccupa­ tion. You should also include a short statement explaiping your re'asons for wanting your name' changed.

As long as there have been names, people have wanted to change them, for one reason Clr another.

fore, you will have to file a copy of either the court decree, your mar­ riage certificate, or your birth cer­ tificate amended to show the change. Don't despair if you can't find any of these documents. The judge will still allow you to change your name if he is satisfied that they are all unobtainable:

hyphenated names, anyone may do so.A husband may include his wife's name as part of his own; indeed, he may take his wife's name as his own. / When a woman obtains a divorce, a special law grants her the right to have a name change officially re­ corded in the divorce decree. Under this law the judge granting the divorce may include in the decree an order allowing the woman to resume her maiden name or the name of a former husband.

But, you're not through yet.

There are three other things which you must do before the court will grant a decree officially changing your name.

the name and other facts relating to the father be excluded from the birth record. May the mother never­ theless name the child after the father? It has been suggested that this could amount to harassment ofthe father; since the name change was for a dishonest purpose, it could not be permitted. ' Religion has often provided the impetus for a name change. Sev­ eral biblical figures had their names changed; traditionally, the popes take on the names of admired predecessors and saints. Even in the sports world, name change for religious reasons have become com­

mon. Cassius Clay became Muham­

med Ali; Lew Alcindor was the

name of the c,ollege basketball

star, Who as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, continues to be a dominant force in the pro game.

Ethnicity has pl,ayed an impor­ tant role in name changes. At the turn of the centuries, supposedly couples' Eastern European names were abbreviated, either voluntar­ ily or by beleaguered immigration officials. Now the trend is revers­

ing, as people rediscover their eth­ nic heritage., There are many other reasons for change, and names to choose fr,om. Recently one man in the Midwest decided he would refer to himself by number "I." As you can see, it is a relatively . easy task to get your name changed.

And once your name is Soul Sur­ vivor, aJI that separates you and stardom is a tin ear and a flat voice. With those credentials, you should have no trouble making the big time!'

Filipino Cardinal Sin: Justice and love needed

By Bill Pritchard WASHINGTON (NC) - "Love without justice is baloney," said Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila, Philippines, pointing to justice and love as the only solutions to human rights abuses and conflict in his country. , The cardinal, a longtime critic of the government of Filipi'no Presi­ dent Ferdinand Marcos, also asked 'the United States to send food, not, firearms, because "the weapons are being used to' kill the same ' Filipinos. " :.In a recent talk at the National Press Club and in an interview with National Catholic News Ser­ vice,.the ca~dinal focused on peace, justice and love: He said that iove is "the strongest and most practi­ cal thing" and that he is "an incur­ able believer in the power:oflove:" The cardinal said it is "tragic that the children of man have so little experien~e" in' loving one another.

God opens doors for Gh~ni.an LOUISVILLE, Ky. (NC) Rose Mary Weobong believes God has opened doors for her in the United States so that she can ,learn to administer Catholic schools in her native Ghana.

In order to study in the United States, Mrs. Weogong, 36, left her husband and four sons, her teaching job and her country al­ most three years ago. She is a master's degree candidate at Spalding University in louisville, which is run by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

When she returns to Ghana, Mrs. Weobong wHi become super­ intendent' of 5,000 Catholic school children in a \ diocese covering hundreds of miles.

The job will be difficult, Mrs. Weobong said in an interview with The Record, newspaper of the LouisviUe Archdiocese, be­ cause Ghana is 'a nation in unrest.

It has been struggling for more than a decade aHer a "revolu­ tion" that has left lits mark in high inflation and :low civic mor­ ale. Parents stopped believing in the value of education because ,their sons found no jobs when they completed school and then did not know traditional farming or vocational skills, according to Mrs. Weobong.

She spoke of sons because few women in Ghana have the oppor­ tunity ,to advance in education.

"I am excited that I have been given the opportunity to broaden my hOri=fons, but' this chance is very rare for women in my coun\ try," said. Mrs. Weobong,' who hopes to set an example in her homeland.

. Priests~ deacon among hostages Continued from Page One Father Dempsey, pastor of St. Patrick Church in St. Charles, "had really been looking for-' ward" to his first visit to the Holy Land, according to' Father Hoffman. "He wanted to walk in the footsteps of the Lord, to make the Scriptures more alive."

Father Hoffinan said Father Dempsey wrote that he was sending the postcard because "you told me to go" on the trip to the Holy Land'.

The Other Hostages In the wake of the recent hi­ jacking, 'increased a.ttention has been focused on seven Americans who disappeared in separa1te kid­ nappings in Beirut dating back to March 1984.

They include Servite Father Lawrence jenco, aiso of Illinois, a Joliet native who was director of Catholic Reliet Services .in ·Beirut when he was kidnapped 'last Jan. 8 by the Islamic Jihad.

Since that time his family has campaigned to secure his re­ ,lease as well as 'that of the six other Americans. _ According to Susan Frances­ chini, Father Jenco's sister, the' family has been' "glued to the television to see if ,the first seven hostages are included in any negotiations" to free the TWA passengers hijacked by Shiite extremists.

In his June 19 news confer­ ence· President Reagan said U.S. officials who are working to free the' new hostages are also con­ cerned about the seven other American hostages.

"We certainly include those ,in every conversation we have with lI'egard to our people ,there," Reagan said.

Mrs. Franceschini said June 19 that ,because of the hijacking of the TWA flight "it is now being brought forth to the American people firsthand that there are still other people held captive in Beirut."

"Our hearts go out to the TWA passengers and their fami­ lies," she said, adding that as her famHy 'listened to news re­ ports "it's "ike reliving ,the news of (Father Jenco's) kidnapping.

It hits you personally. It re­ opens old wounds."

Mae Mihelich, another of Father Jenco's sisters, believes the' 'latest hostage crisis could lead to renewed negotiations for the release of the seven original

hQstages.

She recalled a statement by ,the Islamic Jihad May 16 in which the organiazation threat­ ened "catastrophic" conse­ quences if no negotiations were held to release terrorists jailed in Kuwait for the bombings of U.S. and French embassies in December 1983. , "Maybe by catastrophic they meant something like this take­ over of the TWA flight. I don't think they necessarily meant they would kill my brother. I think that threat and the hi­ jacking are connected," she said.

Shortly after Father Jenco was taken captive his relatives' es­ tablished a local organization,

Those other hostages are Terry Anderson, chief Middle East cor­ respondent for the Associated Press; the Rev. Benjamin Weir, a Presbyterian minister; William ,Buckley, a U.S. Embassy political affairs expert; Peter Kilburn, librarian at the American Uni­ versity of Beirut; David Jacob­ sen, director of 'the American University Hospital in Beirut; and Thomas Sutherland, dean at American University of Beirut.

Both agree that the seminary is an ideal place for the final determination.

Franciscans asked for obedience VATICAN CITY (NC) - Fol­ lowing church. Iteachings means "avoiding confusions and .agita­ tions" which work agl,linst church unity, ·Pope John Paul II said June 22 to representatives of the 20,000-inember Order of Friars Minor. .

Franciscans should foJlow the' . advice of their founder St Fran- .. cis of Assisi, and "pro~ise'obedi~ ence and reverence" to the pope,' he said, speaking ,to 230 Franciscans who participatec,l in the order's general chapter meeting, which ended June 21 in Assisi.

"Following the authentic doc,trine taught by the churCh means also avoiding confusions and agitations which are always

harmful to church unity," the pope said. He did not explain the i'confusions and agitations."

Several Franciscans called the· speech "positive" and "polite.".
