Adult Relig IOUS Education Report Stresses Goals and Programs . WASHINGTON (NC) _. Despite several years of gr'eater emphasis on ·adult religious education in the Church in this country, there is still a great deal of uncertainty over what neflds to be done and how to do it, accord-

Pope Asks Strict Moral Judgment VATICAN CITY (NC)-Christians today who live "in a climate of public liberty and personal responsibility" have a major duty to exercise their "critical moral judgment" in the society in which they live.

This was the central point of Pope Paul's general audience talk during which he spoke to an overflow crowd of summer pilgrims and visitors. The Pope said Christians today live in a society which has become radically secularized and emptied of spiritual values, which in the past were the touchstones of me in general.

"What should the Christian do in this situation?" Pope Paul asked. "Should he alienate himself, should he adapt to the sitTurn to PagEl Three

The report stresses the need for careful research and careful plotting of programs and goals in order to bring adult religious education into the mainstream of American Church life.

To draw up the report, Xavierian Brother Richard Kerressey, the national center's assistant director for adult education, traveled across the country and met with diocesan directors of adult education from 142 of the nation's 169 dioceses.

"The main thing we need is patience," said Brother Kerressey, commenting on the report.

"The most significant problem has been attempting to do too much too soon."

The mood among diocesan personnel involved in 'adult religious education railges "from a cautious optimism among the more experienced to feelings of uncertainty and insecurity among the less experienced," the report says.

Brother Kerressey pointed out that uncertainty and confusion seemed to come from the gap between ideals and present capabilities, the. frustration of trying to establish broad programs without sufficient resources, and confusion over priorities, over where to start with so much to do.

The draft report examines the tt.-eory and present practice of adult religious education around the country and pinpoints the major areas of concern today.

It points out that, although programs for adults have increased significantly in recent years, they have not attained the vision expressed by the U.S. bishops in their 1973 pastoral letter "To Teach As Jesus Did." "Today, perhaps more than ever before, it is important to recognize that learning is a lifelong experienc·e.... Consequently the continuing education of adults is situated not at the periphy of the Church's educational mission 'but at its center."

Vatican, Poland Establish New Contacts

VATlCAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican ·announced July 5 that it is 'establishing "permanent working contacts" with Poland as a step leading toward normalization of Church-state relations.

The Vatican said that the decision on the new level of diplomatic relations with the communist government of Poland had been reached after a twoday meeting between Archbishop Agostino Casaroli, secretary of the Council for the Church's Public Affairs, and Jozef Czyrek, Poland's deputy foreign minister.

The meeting was held recently in Rome.

The establishment of "permanent working contacts" by the Vatican has in the past been a prelude to the resumption of full diplomatic relations as were established with Yugoslavia.

Poland and the Vatican now seemed to have reached the point at which the two parties are willing to discuss and agree on full diplomatic relations.

That would open a new era of Church-state relations in Poland.

The Polish bishops had asked the Vatican earlier to consult them throughout imy form of negotiations with their country's communist regime.

There are still many questions on Churc,h-state relations in Poland today that have not been solved satisfactorily, including the Church's rights in education, 'OPERATION RESIDENT': Msgr. Robert A. Walton religious instruction, the nominavisits aNavajo family on his widely scattered mission parish tions of bishops, and clergy changes. in New Mexico.

New Opportunity For' Retired Priests Offered by Extension Society OHICAGO A call was issued this week to retired priests all over the country to consider volunteering for limited service in the American Home Missions. The call is part of a new national plan to help alleviate th~ shortage of priests in the home missions, according to Rev. Joseph A. Cusack, president of the Catholic Church Extension Society.

Called "Operation Resident," the plan will make use of the talents and energies of retired priests who wish to maintain a level of apostolic work.

Operation Resident will be administered by the Extension Society where requests for priests will be catalogued by diocese.

Retired priests who wish to donate their services in the home missions may contact Extension and receive a list of'mission dioceses that need their help. In this manner, Extension will act as a. national clearing house to place retired priests in limited assignments in the home missions.

The key, he said, is "accepting the fact that this involves a ch,ange in the Church's educational mission, and that it takfis time to develop."

The report suggests a need for research in numerous areas reo lating to adult religious education: development and evaluation of model programs, the use of mass media in adult education, differences in method and motivation of adult education in comparison with the education of children, the development of a philosophy and theology of adult education.

The most immediate needs for adult religious education in this country, the report says, are: -"A statement of the problem in clear, concise terms, .a statement based on firm data; -"An educational campaign to promote the 'vision' of adult religious education as proposed in the (U.S. bishops') pastoral meso sage on education; -"A greater expenditure of personnel and finances to pilot model adult programs in the diocese and parish; -"A series of action steps on national, regional and diocesan levels to indicate that we mean seriously to address ourselves to the issues."

In order to rectify .the situation, he pointet;! out, foreign policy of the developed nations, especially the United StatE'S, must give equal weight to the concerns of underdeveloped nations as well'as the economic and mil- " itary powers.

Equal Weight • "The urgency of. Third World poverty, domination and powerlessness must' somehow bl~ dealt with in relationship to thl~ intricacy of trade and monetary ne-' gotiations, detent and deterrence diplomocy," Father Hehir wrote.

For the United States, he explained, this means giving equal weight to the relations with the Third World as well as to our _. allies-the economic triangleand to our adversaries-the strategic struggle.

" St. PAUL (NC)-The executive committee of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) reaffirmed its opposition to the' 'proposed Equal Rights Amendment (£IRA) to' the U. S. Constitution, -and urged its member councils to fight against ratifica- -' tion in their own states, or to work for repeal of ratification in states where the amendment has already been passed.

The committee argued that women already enjoy a theoretical equal protection by the Constitution uner the 5th and 14th Amendments, that the ERA w,ould destroy significant present laws that favor or protect women, and that the 'era would bring a "drastic 'and insidious" change endangering the. whole family life structure in the United States.

At its threecday meeting here June 27-2'9, the 37-member executive committee also issue,d a statement against obscenity, pledging ,to "make every effort to implement action that will overcome this serious threat to our society."

ERA backers expect the ERA to become the 27th Amendment to the Constitution in 1975. Since it wits first sent to the state legislatures by Congress in 1972, it has been ratified by 33 statesfive below the % required for constitutional amendments..

Two of the 33, however, (Nebraska and Tennessee) have rescinded their ratification, and a third,IIIinois, is currently in court over the 'validity of its ratification.

In Illinois, opponents of the ERA are contending that ratification of a constitutional amendment requires a 3/5 majority in each house, rather than. the simple majority by which the amendment was passed. A three, judge federal panel is currently hearing the case.

The legaldty of the recisions

by Nebraska and Tennessee is debatable-some experts say a state cannot rescind its ratification-and the issue may lead to a fight in Congress.

In asking its members to fight against rati'fitatic>I;' or to get the 'ratification rescinded in their respective states, the NCCW executive committee argued that what is needed instead IS a stronger enforcement of current legislation such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and further federal legislation ~'to take away any present discrimination against women such as credit availability, legal rights, etc."

If the ERA 'is passed, "the family life structure of our cuIture ... will be greatly endangered" and "the institution of marriage will indeed be altered .. since the courts will have nothing to say about husband's support wife and children and the long standing tradition of our land will be destroyed," the commit· tee said.

The NCCW executive committee consists of the NCCW's six, national officers, five national program commission heads, 25 prov·ince directors, and a representative for affiliated national organizations.

Congress Votes Disast'er Aid WASHINGTON (oNe), - Congress has sent to the President a bill 'authoriZing $150 ,million to provide disaster relief, reconstruction arid rehabilitation to Pakistan, Nicaragua and the Sahelian nations of Africa.

Of the total authorized aid, $85 million would g~ to relieve drought in African nations. At least $10 'million of that amount is'slated for Ethiopia. : .

Officials Advised Seminaries Need Public Relations

La Raza Names New Director

ST. MEINRAD (NC)-A strong public relations program is an essenti8il part of seminary development, a group of 34 seminary officials was told at a four-day workshop here.

The Workshop in Development and Publ'ic Relations was held at St. Meinrad's Seminary under the sponsorship of the Center for Applied Research in the 'Apostolate (CARA).

Experts in mana·gemenl., development !lnd public relations told the seminary officials that· it is not enough to have a solid program of priestly formation going on in their institutions. The officials were also told that they must have concrete, long·range development programs and that they must bu~ld an awareness and support for the seminary among a multitude of publicsbrshops, priests, alumni, students,parents, the surrounding community, and a wide range of other friends or potEmtiontial friends of the seminary.

Hire Directors Father AdMen Fuerst, head of CARA's Seminary Research department, pointed out that many seminaries have begun to realize the role of public relations in developing an institution. He cited a recent survey in which half of the 14 seminaries that reponded said they had hired a fuJI-time or. part-time public relal.ions and development director within the past year.

Ailmost all of the seminaries had increased their public relations budgets, he said, and "this seems to have been a record year for an increase in publications."

On the other hand, he said, the . same survey indicated "not much progress" in the area of developing 10~g-raO'ge planning programs, how to discern the unique personality of their own institutions through puolications, newsletters, public events, mailiI)g lists, and numerous other means of making themselves known and appreciated.

The NCLR was founded in 1968 as an effort to help combat the in~quality experienced by many of this country's Spanishspeaking minority.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. July 11, 1974

Elements of Civilization The always interesting and sometimes controversial Dr. Benjamin Spock has written: "Civilizations are built on restraints. Most unusually creative and productive people have always come from an inhibited group."

What Dr. Spock is saying is that i{there is no restraint there is no control. And if there is no control then order breaks down and chaos reigns. And nothing ereative, nothing constructive, comes out of chaos.

There has been the sentiment over the last few years that inhibitions are evil and to be avoided at all costs. Many groups hC\ve organized programs to rid people of inhibitions.

They forget, of course, that there are inhibitions and inhibitions. An inhibition that is stultifying, that would make of a person a mechanical individual, that blocks his vision and clouds his horizon-such an inhibition is .undesirable and can be classified as a hang-up. But ther~ are all sorts of good an,d worthy inhibitions.

The habit that causes a person to look before crossing a' street is surely a desirable inhibition. The restraint that councils patience in the face of an irritating situatiort is a worthy inhibition. The habit Of mind that causes a ,person, to operate on the basis of mind and will rather than a.lways reacting emotionally in a given setting is not unwholesome or unhealthy. ' A human being should operate on the level of his very highest faculties, not, indeed, ignoring other aspects of his make-up, but bringing all under the control of mind and will which, in turn, is attuned to the Will of God. This necessarily entails controls, discipline of body and emotions and mind and will, inhibitions. From tHe inner order that results comes what Dr. Spock speaks of-creativity and! productivity that make for civilfrzation.

The Person"s Value

. .

The prisons of the' nations are under fire. Perhaps 'they should be. The warehousing of men without the serious attempt at rehabilitation is a sad waste of human life.

To be sure, society must be protected from those ,who cannot or will not live in it in peace. But the fact that all too many prison dispensaries seemed to be loaded with drugs; the recently-revealed fact that a prison was prepared to show hard-core pornography to its, residents--what has all this to do with treating people with dignity and working for their betterment, for the uplifting of their values,: for the rehabilitation of their lives?

The investigators had better come up with answersones based on the value of the human person: Of course, there is the usual cry now for an investiga'tion. The investigation had better take into consideration several elelllents-that the residents of prisons have done sometl,1ing to get there so their attitude toward society ne,eds to be changed; that the purpose of prisons is not alone to punish but to bring about rehabilitation, a change of attitude and purpose in life; that difficult as it might' be: if some measure of rehabilitation is not effected, then the prison has only hardened a person instead of transforming, him.

Society must be protected against those who will not live in peace within it. But the offender must also be helped if this cim at all be done. ' . '\

She Keeps 'Blusy Philadelphia Woman Sees Disability Blessing in Disgui:se PHILADELPHIA-Bonnie Gellman is a firm believer in keeping busy. She' is studying for a doctorate of philosophy, working as a speech therapist, learning Chinese cookery, attending _club meetings, going to art classes, play:ing indoor sports, organizing group outings, agitating for -civil rights for a minority, and more - all from the wheelchair in which she has spent about 75 per cent of her life.

- ,Bonnie was left crippled by an , attack of polio when she was in her early teens. She was also left, she admits, bitter. But about, eight years ago a' process began 'which changed her life so much so that ,she h~s come to look on , her disability as "truly a .blessing in disguise."

The process began when a friend invited her to a meeting of the Catholic League for the

Intervention Sought In School Case" BA,LTIMORE (NC)-The National Labor Relations Board (NLl~B) is being asked. to take jurisdiction over the reqliest by the Baltimore Archdiocesan Lay Teachers' Organization (BALTO) that it be recognized as the sole bClrgaining agent for teachers in five archdiocesan high schools.

Attorneys for the archdiocese and BALTO were scheduled to file briefs with the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the NLRB. If the NLRB decides to take jurisdiction over the case, it could put BALTO's request to the vote of about 140 teachers in the five schools.A vote by the teachers to have BALTO represent them would, in effect, give the organization the ,power of a labor union. ' Some fear such bargain'ing power would add strain to the already financially troubled schools.

Orthopedically Handicapped (CLOH).

"I didn't much want to go-I wasn't even a Catholic," Bonnie says, "huth I Went. And I met people who were inspir:ational.

For example, one man is arthritic, and lives in a prone position; he can't sit up. But he never gripes, he works on all CLOH's projects and edits the newsletter. The peopJe and the experiences didn't give me faith, but they started me thinking."

The thinking led, three years ago, to Bonnie's convers路ion from Judaism, to Catholicism.

"We all go through things that are tough enough to take if we've got a strong faith," she says. "What if we don't? I needed some answers, and found them in Catholicism."

Bonnie also found friends and enjoyable activities in CLOH to augment her "rewarding career" as a speech t.herapist. And her friends elected her CLOH's president-for a third year.

She and CLOH are working on a program,of "civ.il rights for the handicapped," including such things as changing the thinking of architects to consider the disabled. She has discovered' some 80 barrier-free churches in the Philadelphia archdiocese, and has praised th,e city for efforts to make facilities accessible to the handicapped.

But not enough is being done, she says.

"I'm a taxpayer, and I resent the fact that I can't go into a post office to mail a packagemost are inaccessible. I can't use the ,Logan Library - too many steps. I love, love, love the sculp-. ture of Rodin--but there's no way I 'can get into the Rodin Museum. I can't take a bus or ride the subway. These things make the dislllbled a discriminated-against minority."

Sisters of Mercy from the Province of Providence, which serves the Fall River diocese, were among delegates to the 1974 session of the ninth general chapter of the Sisters of Mercy of the Union, held at the community's general ate in Bethesda, Md. Re-elected administrator general was Sister Mary Concilia Moran of the Scranton Province.

She will serve for three years.

Under an amended plan of government approved at the Chapter, four sisters were elected to the office of Councilor General.

They are Sister Doris Gottemoelfer, Cincinnati Province; Sister Joan Specht, Chicago Province; Sister Jean Marie Sullivan, St. Louis Province; and Sister Caraline Laiso, New York ~rovince.

The approved plan reduced the number of councilors from six to four.

Amnesty Call The chapter called for "universal and unconditional amnesty for violators of the Selective Service Act," basing its position on Pope Paul's call for amnesty. and the fact that unconditional amnesty "would demonstrate that America is still capable of a communal corporate act."

In the final paragraph of its statement; the Chapter called for effective alternative methods of resolving conflict.

The General Chaptel' is the highest decision-making body of the Mercy Institute, numbering over 5,000 members in the United States, Central and South America and Jamaica. Chapter delegates included six elected representatives from each of the Institute's nine provinces, as well as provincial administrators and general officials. , Sister Mary Isabel McDerm'ott, an Argentine sister from the Detroit 'Province, spoke to the assembly of the developing national and spiritual consciousness of Third World nations. "They are nations with a growing awareness of the dignity of their people and of an unjust treatment as nations by the powerful socalled developed nations," she said. She challenged Sisters \ of Mercy to reconsider the consequ~nces of unqualified participation in "our capitalistic, consumer, dehumanizing society."

Junior Cook Sav,es the Day With Yummy, Easy Dessert.

By Joseph and Marilyn Rodericlk At this writing day lilies are just coming into bloom.

They are one of my favorites since they provide summer color for the garden when it needs it most. A few goqd-sized clumps can go a long way in bringing zest to an otherwise colorless garden. Day lilies ' are especially valuable be- tween Joe, Melissa" nw mother

cause they are so easy to care for. They need no spraying, since they are almost impervious to insects, they suffer no serious diseases, and they reproduce rapidly. This latter trait is one whIch can lead to troubles, since a small clump of day lilies soon needs dividing. If left untended they can .'become rather extensive, greedy 'plants. We make a practice of dividing them every three to four years and replanting them in different locations.

Other than that, we leave them pretty much alone.

Plant in Fall We have a number of varieties and those I know by name are' Hyperion and Evelyn Clare.

Hyperion is a lemon yeUow which holds its color well even in full sun. Evelyn Clare is a pinkish hue which is smaller in . size but bountiful in bloom. In addition we have a pure gold, a gold with a reddish throat and one variety of reddish brown.

Plants may ,be purcha sed for Fall planting. A number of local" .nurseries normally have them for sale or they may be purchased' from any of the flower catalogs.

Because they. reproduce to rapidly there is no need to purchase a great many plants of the same variety. Buy single shoots and . in three 'years you will have all you need. Transplanting is mereIya matter of digging up the tubers, separating them, and replanting in another location.

Oddly enough, I find very. few gardeners using daylilies to any great degree. I suspect it is because they are too greedy and take up too much space. I find that I can use them in my gar-. den in the most unlikely places and have them produce bloom without 'becoming too obtrusive and over-bearing.

In The KUchen "Don't wQrry about the meals, we'll take care of them," Joe as'sured me when we discussed my two-week course at Boston University that would entail almost the whole' of every day away from home.

They did just .that, and be-

and my mother-in-law (Meryl'~ in Portugal) not one day did I return from the halls, of ivy to slave over a hot stove. Melissa, though, went one step' further and I asked her to write a portion of this column and tell you about it. ' Notes from Melissa "My mother is taking a twoweek course in Boston, which left my father (and grandmother) and me with the cooking and cleaning. Everything was going along smoothly until I. heard some cousins from Providence . were coming down to visit my nana and then stop by our house.

'What can I feed them?' ,"Was my first thought. '\Faced 'With the problem. of refreshments, I finally decided upon a lovely-looking strawberry tart that had caught my eye on the cover of Woman's Day. It looked like a cool fresh dessert that would go just right' on a hot day. i "Much to my surprise, 'it was basically easy and did no't take any time at all. Also, there were no 'hard-to-find' ingredients, which never seem to be in any .' of our markets.

I served the'tart ice cold and every.body truly enjoyed it."

What my l3-year-old failed to add was that she also whipped up a 'batch of toll house cookies. for the young children visitors and along with these and the picture pretty. dessert she had iced drinks waiting for evel1yone.

Needless to say, we were very proud of our cook in residence!

This is Melissa's recipe for a strawberry pistachio tart. My mother bakes the shell in' an .8 x 8 inch squa~e pan inste~d of the usual pie shell and it' was just as delicious in squares 'as in pie-shaped pieces.

tHE ANCHORThurs., July 11, 1974

If' Moth,er of 12 Can Earn D,e~rele, Why Can't Anyone? , I just read two very similar newspaper stories. One was about, a black woman in Georgia who lis the mother of si~ children and has raised six foster children besides.

She just graduated from college . . . and immediately enrolled for graduate study.

The second was about a a motivation strong enough to mother in New Jersey. Elev- c~rry th~ o.ver ~he hundre~s of pItfalls, dIffIcultIes, and dlsap'ld en 0 f h er 12 ch I r~n were pointments. ' present at her graduatIon from college; the twelfth one couldn't get the day off from work.

By

MARY CARSON Each of these women had spent about a dozen years in pursuit of her degree.

Pictures in the newspapers of such graduates evoke comments such as: "Isn't that wonderful," "Marvelous," "Imagine ... with all those children, too."

But the pict.ure doesn't tell the hours of study" when other obligations were pressing; the decision that learning was more important than routine chores.

Or the gnawing conscience that such a decision brings.

The 'picture doesn't show the nights when the "student" was just too tired to keep pushing, too pressed by more obligations than reasonable for one person to carry, weary,worn, plagued by doubts ... "is it really worth :it?"

A Lot Easler The picture doesn't show the proud family "without whose help it wouldn't have been possible." 'But it doesn't mention that without that "help" it would have ,been a lot, easier.

Did those women really need "help" like: "Mom, I need ..." ",Mom, w.i11 you ... " "Mom, I hafta have ..." "'Mom, I've ,got to be there in I0 minutes."

"Mom, study that later. You have three whole days before the test ..."

How many times did those mothers decide to quit? How many times did they wish they never started? I'd guess at least once before every class; severa,l times before every exam. ;But they didn't. They weren't pushed into a college: education.

They made the choice because they wanted that degree. It wasn't simply the thing to do following high school. There was

Plans Conference On Work With, Elderly INDIANAPOLIS (NC)-Parish . work with the elderly will be the focus of a Conference on Aging to be held Aug. 2-4 under the joint sponsorship of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, Terre Haute.

Clergy and lay' representatives from every parish in the archdiocese are expected to attend the conference, to be held at the college.

According to Sue Ley, conference secretary, dis4;ussions will be "practkal not theoretical."

.. .

The key IS motlva~lon. They' wanted that. educatIon badly enough to do It, not because of ... but in spite of .. , the many other responsibilities in their lives., You Could Too When ~eeing a picture of an older person graduating from <:ollege or getting an advanced degree, do you ever say to yourself, "I could do that ... if I had the time, the money, fewer responsibilities, ,if I hadn't been away from studying' so long"?

The degree may be an ultimate goal, but the first decision can be simply to improve the mind.

IMinds are like muscles. Without exercise, they atrophy.

Make a deliberate effort, right now. Set aside some time each day to read. Summer is here.'

Schedules are freer. Why not?

Not enough time? There won't 'be until the tim'e is m~de.

Not enough talent? That's unknown until tried.

Not enough money? Libraries are free.

Away from the books too long? It only gets longer.

The choice is yours.

Cordina I Asks Pdests to Fast NEW YORK (NC)--Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York has asked Catholics in the ,.08 parishes of the New York archdiocese voluntarily to observe Wednesday of each week as a day of fast and abstinence to aid the "starving, desperate poor" in Central Africa and Southern Asia.

·Capuch·in Friars Keep Traditions SANTA YNEZ (NC) .- The Capuchin Friars of California and Oregon have strongly supported the wearing of their traditional -brown robes, their practice of penance and their observance of poverty.

The Capuchin Friars, who number approximately 14,000 priests and Brothers throughout the world, attempt to live a Reli- . gious life based on 'the spirit and ideals of their founder, St. Francis of Assisi.

Twenty-eight Capuchin delegates from California and Oregon passed a resolution at their recent triennial chapter recommending that all friars wear their traditional brown robes while working in the 'houses of the order as a sign of ·their dedication to the Religious life and the service of God. .

They also reaffirmed their commitment to penance and pov-

crty, . asking West Coast Capuchins to live a poor life and to choose some concrete form of penance each Friday. In addition, the delegates called for the estahlishment of a "poor box" in each community of Capuchins by which the money saved through tl-.<:~ir practice of penance and poverty could be distributed to various charities such as those serving the starving and homeless of the Third World of underdeveloped nations.

World Order, Not Birth Control, Solution to Population Problems WARRENTON (NC) - The high birth rate in underdeveloped countries "is an effeCt of poverty, rather than a cause of it," according to conclusions of a four-day meeting of 35 Latin American priests held here fn Virginia recently. n.':;! meeting, financed by the Airlie Foundation and held at the foundation's conference center here, discussed the implications of increasing popul'ation pressures in the undeveloped nations of the world and specifically in Latin America. It included priests from 11 Latin American countries and Auxiliary Bishop Luis A. Bambaren of Lima, Peru.

The Airlie Foundation is a private non-profit educational organization. Its primary purpose is to develop educational materials on a variety of topics or" sociological interest. It was incorporated in 1959 by Dr. Murdock Head of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. "The grave problems of population can be traced to the present inhuman and unjust social order . . . and will continue to grow more critical because of the irresponsible growth of humanity if a more just social and economic structure is not generated in the world," the .priests said.

Church ContrIbutes The Church has made significant contributions to clarifying population problems, "mlilinly through its insistence in defending , .. within a just human order of society, such fundamental values as marriage, the' family and the right to life of every human being from the moment of conception," they said. ,But, in addressing itself to specific problems of population policies, they added, the Church should take into account the

Grant To College_ CEDAR RAPIDS (NC) - Mt. Mercy College here in Iowa has been approved by the Department 9( Health, Education and Welfare for a $1,136,827 construction grant for the erection of a nursing facility. The college must pay approximately $850,000 toward the total estimated cost of $1,950,000.

A dialogue between the Church and the world on the problems of population must be conducted with open and fuIl cooperation of population experts, they said, and there must be "a real will to take into account those well founded theological contributions yvhich strive for the devel· opment of the Church's "doctrine" on population, the priests maintained.

Scores Women's Lib Movement MADISON (NC)-"The women's li'beration movement is antiGod, anti-Catholic Church, antifamily and anti"Woman," Mrs. Edward Mills told the Madison Diocesan Council of Catholic Women's annual convention held here.

In her keynote address, "To Be or Not to Be-a Catholic Woman," she told over 400 persons at Holy Name seminary here that women's Iiberationists want to "outdo" men in masculine dress and behavior. Moreover, she asserted, "they feel God made a mistake. They are confused, unhappy souls," she added.

Mrs. Mills also charged that the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution will not guarantee "women promotion to better jobs or make husbands !help with housework and ba:bysit."

According to Mrs. Mills, women must "replace good with evil" by resisting the women's liberation movement and its "religion of secular humanism."

She told the audience to write to legislators, attend public hearings, and speak up on matters such 'as the ERA, abortion, sterilization, and euthanasia.

"Don't be afraid of being accused of not having tolerance," she said. "It's not good to tolerate eviL" She continued: "It is not enough to say we are baptized. We must choose to be Catholic women and vow to serve God in our daily lives."

Church Leaders Condemn Co,.rt's Abortion Ruling SAN JUAN (NC) - Church leaders have criticized a recent court decision declaring uncon路路 stitutional two sections, of the Puerto Rican Penal Code that strictly restricted legal abortions to those performed to save the mother's life.

Cardinal Luiz Aponte Martinez of San Juan said that the court's decision was a "tragic one." Restating the Church's doctrine rejecting abortion, Cardinal Aponte Martinez said that "regardless of the court or the law that declares it (abortion) legal, there is not court or law that can declare it moral."

Abortion "continues to be immoral" for Catholics and for all men, the Cardinal said. He also told Catholics that there will be automatic excommunication of anybody who practices or cooperates with. abortions.

The U. S. District Court of Puerto Rico declared unconstitutional sections 1053 and 1054 of Puerto Rican penal code, re, .iecting the Puerto Rican government's contention that the U. S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision allowing abortions does' not apply in Puerto Rico.

New Penal Code Secretary of Justice Jose de Jesus Schuck had argued that since the ,majority of Puerto Ricans are Catholics, unlike the situation in the U. S. as a whole, the Supreme Court's ruling could not be applied here. The district court said majority opposition to abortion heigh.tens the need for constitutional protection of the minority's right "to be free to choose to act according to one's own beliefs."

The president of the Evangelical Council, an umbrella organization for the Protestant churches here, said that Protestant churches are basically against abortion. The 路Rev. Benjamin Santana said that "no authority but that of the Bible and God shall ever have jurisdiction over our Christian consciences."

Justice Secretary Schuck indiscriminately said that a new penal code now being discussed in the Puerto Rican legislature has sections prohibiting abortions, unless they are nece$sary to save the mother's life.

Colombian Ct,urch To Lose In'fluence BOGOTA (NC)-The Catholic Church is expected to lose some of its influence as a result of the April presidential election, the first truly democratic election here in 16 years.

Under the old system, only the candidate of the "National Front" could be elected. The system, devised in 1957, prov,ided that the two main United Front parties, Liberal and Conservative, would occupy the presidency on an alternate basis every four years. The United Front accord ended years of bloody civil war, but brought with it a decrease in voter intf~rest. ,The accord ended as scheduled with this year's E~lection, presumably at a time in which Colombian political life had attained a measure of maturity. A more democratic system will now exist, with Liberals and Conservatives opposing each other at the polls.

Dominic Tertiaries 'Offer Ancient Answer To Problems of Modern' World By' PAT McGOWAN Like S1. Paul, the Church's endeavor is to become "all things to all men, in order to save all."

And so within her gates are found mu:timedia liturgies as modern as tomorrow coexisting with centuries-old traditions and communities.

Such a community is the over 700 years old Third Order of St. Dominic, which flourishes across tb~ world and has two chapters in Fall River, one meeting at the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home, 1600 Bay St., the other, for French-speaking members. at St. Anne's Shrine, Middle and South Main Streets.

First, Second The title of Third Order comes from the fact that foundation of (the lay groups "followed the establishment of the first (for men) and second (for women) religious orders with which they are associated," The purpose of the Dominican Third Order, as stated in its statutes, "is the sanctification of . its members and others.

"The spiritual life of tertiaries is guided by norms willinglyaccepted as means to that end, tried and proven to be effective by more than seven centuries of experience.

"These obligations offer several variations. None bind under sin. They are followed .freely by joyful hearts, never to be regarded as rigid routines that threaten conscience or peace of mind," Divine Office Among spiritual practices of tertiaries are 'recitation of the Divine Office of the Cl1lourch, the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, or the rosary, mental prayer, prayer for deceased members of the Dominican order, and attendance at daily Mass if possible.

As befits the order of' St. Thomas Aquinas, Dominicans have "Truth" as their motto and tertiaries are expected to make study. especially of scripture and the lives of the saints, an essential part of their way of life.

But study must overflow in action and members participate

in apostolic activities of various kinds, with preference given to the religious instruction of children. Additionally, "every chapter should have a definite, effective program for visiting the sick, the elderly, and the shutins.... The apostolate of prayer and suffering is not to be minimized," Well Heeded The latter admonition is especially 'well he'eded at the Rose tertiary Hawthorne Lathrop chapter, where Sister M. Margaret, O.P. has enrolled many patients as members~ even though not all are able to attend the lIJ\it's monthly meetings.

As well as patients, however, many lay people from the Fall River area are' members of the chapter, which formerly had as -chaplain Msgr. John E. Boyd and, which now has Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, diocesan chancellor.

Monthly meetings, said Sister Margaret, include recitation of the Office with the Dominican Sisters of the Rose Hawthorne Home, celebration of Mass, a discussion and a social hour.

The next meeting is scheduled for 7:aO p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8. tb~ feast of St. Dominic, and Sister Ma.rgaret stressed that newcomers "who would like to intensify t!leir Christian life" are more than welcome, French Chapter New members ate also welcomed at the French-speaking tertiary chapter at St. Anne's Shrine, directed by Rev.

ThE) bishops also criticizesd torture and disregard of human rights in the mili.tary's efforts to stamp out Marxist influence in the country.

Later, a secret report by the ecumenical Committee of Cooperation for Peace in Chile, leaked to a Mexican paper and detailing 134 cases of torture, caused strong attacks by rightist groups and press on the Church and on the Committee. The commitee is headed by Auxiliary Bishop Fernando Ariztia of Santiago. Lutheran and Jewish groups also participate in the organization, which provides legal aid as well as economic assistance to political prisoners and their families.

A strong complaint against the Church and Cardinal Silva followed in the conservative press.

Some papers, closely identified with the ruling junta, called for Cardinal Silva's resignation and urged him to leave the country.

KNOW YOUR FAITH Who Is

A Question of Attitude

Until recently, I had never met a deaf person. My eoncept of deafness was probably typical -50 per cent indifferencE: mixed with 50 per cent ignorance. Last summer, however, I began an intensive sign language program in preparation for a teachng position in the physics department at Gallaudet College and started teaching in the fall.

DR. JAMES BURKHART Thus I am in a unique position. I still recall my earlier prejudices and misconceptions, but they are tempered and eorrected by my newly-found awareness of deafness. It is from this platform that I write-not as an arrogant expert, but as a sincere novice. ]n fact, witholJt the guidance of students and fellow faculty members, this article would -not have been written.

The word "handicapped" has such an unsavory connotation that very few adults will accept the label and even fewer will enjoy it. That streak of independence that Ipermeates all of humanity usually means that a person will consider a handicap as a hurdle to be overcome or bypassed and

II

not as an excuse for self pity.

However, many people who successfully live with their conditions nevertheless find their lives restricted for reasons Ibeyond control: the ,physical or mental difficulties which may satisfy the dictionary definition of "handicaps" are often not the main problems which the person has to overcome on a day-to-day basis.

Examples -which come to mind are: the veteran who has become acclimated to life in a wheelchair but can't get on a bus, the epileptic who isn't allowed to drive, 'and the most tragic example of all, the retarded adult who' is -without the acceptance and love of his or her own family. Perhaps all this can best be summed up by saying: The individual has accepted his handicap, but society has not. A final example, which again illustrates the attitude of society, is the lack of communication the deaf face in a hearing world. It is the problems of the deaf, and the attitudes of the hearing toward deafness which are the topics of this discussion.

The problems of the deaf obviously stem from the root cause, loss of hearing. If you plug your ears with wax or cotton, you might have 'a difficult time enjoying television and conversing with friends. This nothing com路 pared to the hardship that -the deaf adult encounters and has faced since childhood. Let's trace the life of a severely hearing inTurn to Page Fourteen

Why Do We SuHer?

To a Christian, any consideration of the handicapped must occur within the greater context of the meaning of suffering.. The handicapped person suffers, make no mistake about it. If he does not suffer actual physical pain, he certainly knows the pain of mental anguish.

By

STEVE LANDREGAN'

Christ elevated suffering from the Old Testament concept of deserved punishment for sin (Prov 3:5f) to an understanding of suffering as' a share in the sufferings and the glory of Christ (Rom 8:17).

Suffering and death have been the great mysteries of human life, mysteries that man has tried to solve and explain away since the dawn of time. The ancient pagan saw man as created by accident at worst, or as a slave or pawn of the gods at best. To him, suf,fering was the result of the displeasure of the gods (Cf, the Seneid) or the human "fall-

II

out" o'f the gods fighting among themselves. ,In the Old Testament, the understanding of just punishment develops as God fashions His people. It progresses from a concept of corporate and earthly, f,alling . upon a tribe, clan or family and reflecting punishment for sins of the tribe or its leader (Deuteronomy) to individual and. occurring in the afterlife (2 Macc 7:1-42).

Primitive Understanding Suffering and the pJ.ight of the handicapped are intimately wound up with this emerging understanding of punishment and suffering as we see in the story of the man born 'blind 'in John 9.

The story begins with a simple question by the disciples upon seeing the blind man. He must have been a familiar figure since it is obvious from their question that they are aware that his blindness -is from birth and not from accident or disease.

They ask: "Teacher, whose sin was it that caused him to be born blind? His own or his parents' sin?"

The question reflects the fact that the teachings found in the later books of the Old Testament were by no means fully accepted and understood in Jesus' time.

Indeed, Paul will use the disTurn to Page Fourteen

Handicapped?~

By Rev. Eugene J. Weitzel, C.S.V.

A very wise someone once ,wrote: "Every human person is a mystery that must be learned slowly, reverently with care, tenderness and pain and is never learned completely." Since it obviously admits of no exception, it applies as much to those who are handicapped (whether physioal or mental), as to those who are considered "normaL" A handicapped person is no more or less a mystery than a "normal" man or woman, nor is it more or less difficult to learn about him.

In the process of unravelling the mystery that surrounds the handicapped indivicHual, often, the difficulty does not reside in the "'1earnee," but. in the learner.

In trying to relate to and understand the handicapped -<and, incidentally, to accept him), we too' frequently focus on the handicap -biinJncss, deafness, lameness, mental retardation-and ignore the "normal" qualit'ies. Perhaps we tend to do this because we fail to realize that no human being is "normal" in every wayall of us are handicapped to some extent, slightly or seriously -in one or rr:ore areas.

Once a person-pastor, teacher, parent, thel"apist, physician, nurse, peer or friend - accepts that everyone is advantaged in some respects and disadvantaged or handicapped ,in others, he can路 more readily move toward emphasizing and utilizing an individual's strengths (those areas in which he is considered to be normal), while deemphasizing the particular handicap to the extent possible. Focusing on the ,positive while down-playing the negative is vital for those who wish to learn the mystery of the handicapped adult and to be of assistance to him.

Compensation To the extent that there are medical and psychological determinants available for judging the seriousness of a particular physical or mental handicap, it is usually not too difficult to draw the line between "normal" and "handicapped."

However, even when applying these norms, it is important to keep in mind numerous other factors, including not only the individual's compensating assets (areas of normalcy), but also his capacity and willingness to utilize these in surmounting or cir-

a response is' elicited. The preacher fills the rol,e of enabling, enhancing, facilitating the ongoing communication of God with man. ,In preaching, the 'study points out, the preacher remains "the pivotal figure." .

"To be effective, and worthy, of tbe responsihility the preacher must be intimately involved in' the affairs of God's Spirit, a pers!?n of prayer and,,growing faith, able to accept and relish ", the human struggle to know God ' . in slow, groping ways," it says.

In preparing for pomilies, priests' are asked to pray over the texts, consult appropriate commentaries on Scripture, select, specific purposes of the homily, consult documents and .other· information sources, review personal convictions, assess the understanding of the ~issue in the mind's of the hearers, anticipate future readings and events that might relate to the issue, outline the presentation and . practice it on audio or video tape.

In a recent communique' from the Office of the Chief of Chaplains, U.S. Army, Father. Kinast was told, that "the instrument was praised highly here ; .. so highly in fact, that we would like to reproduce it for distribution to all Army chaplains."

It must encourage, especially in its legislation, self-determination and a meaningful spirit of independence. Society does this most effectively when it concentrates on the personhood and not on the handicap, and when it generously provides curative (health-care facilities) and educational opportunities.

But serious harm can be done to the physically or mentally disadvantaged ,when he is branded as a "freak" or somehow undesirably different, one to be ashamed of. Society furthermore disadvantages the handicapped when it fails to provide assistance - medical, psychological, educational and even financialwhere !lssistance is obviously needed.

Though there is much more to . be said con'cern-ing the accep'tance, and training, care and treatment of the handicapped, perhaps few words are more meaningful when applied to the handicapped than those Abraham Lincoln _(who probably didn't have the handicapped in mind when he spoke them): "These are not, however, the days of miracles, and I suppose it will be granted that I am no't to expect a'direct revelation. I must study the plain physical aspects of the case, ascertain what is possible and ,learn what appears to be wise and right."

Army Chaplains to' Receive Guide to Better P.reaching

ATLANTA (NC) - An indepth guide to better preaching, developed recently by Father Robert Kinast, director of the office of religious education of the Atlanta archdiocese, has received accolades from several sources and will soon be dis"tributed to aI,l U.S. Army chaplains for their, use smd implementation.

The program, entitled "SelfEvaluation 'Instrument for " Preaching," eyolved from several sessions held \yith priests, of the archdiocese h,ei-e.

Father Kwast said the program was iilte.nded as a "stimu-' Ius 'Jor self-evaluation of homilies," and induded many facets of the art of preaching including the value of preaching, goals, preparation; performance and delivery, evaluation and. an outline forselfcstudy in the theology of preaching.'

In 'introductory comments, the - booklet 'states that "the 'art of .preaching is'inseparable from the total process of God-relating-toman," saying that for Christian preaching the focus is on Jesus Christ.'

The art of preaching, the booklet continues, concerns communication, specifically, the communieiltion of God to man through Jesus Christ. When this revelation is truly communicated,

Journalist's Private Lives 'Fair Game' for Opponents

1S

Rjchard Reeves, a New York journalist who pontificates about American society, recently launched a vile attack on Senator Edward Kennedy. In the process he had some particularly bigoted things to say about Catholicism. The Senator can take care of himself, and I suspec:t that too many or flirt with women other than their wives. Only Cathwhether he is the next. presi- olic politicians do not always dent or not he will be little honor their religious or moral influenced by nasty characters . like Mr. Reeves.

But perceive what Reeves has to say about the Church: Cath·

By REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY olics are forced to make distinc· tions between public and private morality because a separation of the two is forced by the Church's rigid regulation ... on its chil· dren very early in life."

He quotes a friend of the Sen· ator as saying, "The rules of the Church are so rigid that we have to develop a separate personal morality to survive--the question of how good a Catholic you are Ibecomes a question of how much do you stray and haw soon do you return?"

Beyond that lunatic quotation, Reeves offers not the slightest bit of evidence. Catholics have • moral schizophrenia because Richard Reeves says they do, and that is that.

There are no puritanical rules, one presumes, in mainline American Protestantism, some manifestations of which prohibit smoking, drinking, gambling, dancing, and other such forms of amusement. Catholics apparently were responsible for Prohibition and for anti-gambling laws, for the Comstock l'aws and for Sunday blue laws. Oh, yes, we are r'igid indeed.

We are puritanical because we have rigid rules, .but we are somehaw corrupt because we are able to stray and return. Too rigid and too lax 'at the same time --quite an achievement.

ideals. Only Catholics do not Bve their personal lives in accordance with their highest moral principles.

Oddly enough. the accusation usually. made against Catholic politicians is just the opposite: they are supposed to be exem· plary in their private lives and corrupt in their public lives. .They are at best compromisers (which means they win elections) and bosses (which means they keep on winning them). At worst they are crooks (which means they pick up money in ways other than those used by liberal journalists and East Coast in: vestment brokers and bankers).

Poor Senator Kennedy lives in the worst of all possible worlds.

Come to think of it, the gang in the White House just naw is mostly Catholic, isn't it, Mr. Reeves?

Moral Rigidity The available research on moral rigidity does not indicate that Catholics !ire any more inflexible on many moral questions than other large segments of the American population. Their sexual morality is doubtless some· what stricter than that of eel" t,ain elite groups, but it is also more -lenient than many funda· mentalist groups. But if you're Richard Reeves, you hardly have to be bothered with data.

Private life and public skills are not quite the same thing. Mr. Lincoln used far more colorful language than did Mr. Nixon. By the standards of personal moral· ity that Reeves seems to think are pertinent for political discussion, Ben Franklin would never -have held high office -in the United States. Neither in all probability would George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Andrew Jackson. Who is Mr. Reeves trying to kid? Catholic moraBty indeed!

Compromisers, Crooks

Adversary Role

Apparently only Catholic politicians drink an occasional one

I have a proposal. The press, we are told, has become a fourth branch of government, playing an adversary role to keep the other three Ibranches in line. The only difference is that no one elects a newspaper man or gets an opportunity to re-elect him.

No formal 'body ever has to confirm his appointment, and no one ever discusses his morality-pub· lie or private.

That's not fair. If Mr. Reeves and the other practitioners of the New Journalism are going to make the private lives of public . figures fair' game, and if they themselves assume the role of public figures as part of the adversary component of government, then their own private lives become fair game.

I wonder how Washington journalists will compare in their marital fidelity and drinking habits with Irish politicians. © 1974, Universal Press Synd'c't

Archdiocese Pays $1.9 Million in Taxes LOS ANGELES (NC) - The Archdiocese of Los Angeles paid more than $1.9 million in taxes and assessments for the tax year ending June 30, the chancery office announced recently.

Taxes were paid in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange Ven· tura and Santa Bat1>ara, which comprise the archdiocese.

A chancery office statement said the money for payment of the taxes and assessments came from parishioners who also pa'id taxes on their own personal properties, yet helped pay assessments on properties used by the Churoh in educational, health and welfare services that saved taxpayers money.

Bishop Harshly Criticizes IRA , LONDONDERRY (NC) - "The IRA are agents of the devil," said Bishop Edward Daly of Derry ,in one of the harshest criticisms of the Irish Republican Army ever made by a Catholic bishop.

Speaking to Catholics living in the Bogside and Creggan 'areas of Londonderry, which have long been IRA strongholds, Bishop Daly said that the IRA "and their various satellite organiza· tions should not be assisted politically, financially or otherwise until they proclaim a total and permanent ,cease-fire in this community."

Derry is the name used by Catholics for Londonderry.

The bishop, who recently urged the British government to grant the request of hungerstriking IRA members in British prisons to be transferred to Northern Ireland, said: "Many young men and women have been lured into these evil organizations by subtle propaganda in

the past and have had to pay for their decision with their lives or their liberties." Bishop Daly spoke two days after two 17-year-old IRA members were killed when a 30-pound bomb they were carrying explod· ed prematurely outside a supermarket in Londonderry. Three other pers(>ns, including a baby in a carriage a few feet away from the explosion, were injured slightly.

The night before the bishop spoke, Ivor Cooper, a former member of the Northern Ireland government and a member of the predominantly Catholic Social Democratic and Labor party, . . . . . . . .- . • • • • • •

criticized the IRA in the border town of Strabane.

"Strabane is sick and tired of the IRA," -he said. "They have reduced the. town to rubble and exposed it to army excesses. It's time they got off ouk' backs."

Violence in Northern Ireland has, caused more than 1,040 deaths since August 1969. Although the IRA has claimed responsibility for explosions that have caused civilian deaths and for shooting civilians, police and soldiers, Merlyn Rees, British secretary of state for Northern Ireland, recently attributed most of the 250 sectarian murders of civilians to Protestants.
