"Nobody was ever turned away"

Off to Washington By Pat McGowan

For 17 years he was a bulwark, "the man who was alway~ there" at the diocesan chancery office, first as vice-chancellor and episcopal secretary to Bishop James L. Connolly, and since 1971 as chancellor to Bishop Daniel A. Cronin. Now Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington is off to the Catholic Univer~ sity of America in Washington, D.C., for sabbatical studies leading to a doctorate in canon law. He leaves behind him fond memories, both at the chancery and in St. Mary's Cathedral parish, where he has been rector since 1978. "After more than 15 years," said Bishop Cronin, "Msgr. Harrington has .completed his extraordi-

nary service in the chancery office. 1 am happy to thank him publicly in my own name and in the name of the clergy, religious and faithful of the diocese for the dedicated and competent execution of his' duties, not only in the chancery but as rector of St. Mary's Cathedral. "Msgr. Harrington embarks now on a sabbatical for further study at Catholic University in the field of canon law. 1 wish him well and 1 thank him once again." "He was a wonderful.priest to work for and we will all miss him very much," declared Betty HaIl, for 15 years a chancery secretary.

S.erra Club goes coed

HALLETT Funeral Home Inc.

MILWAUKEE (NC) - Barely making the required two-thirds margin, Serra International has voted to admit women as members, breaking its 51-year tradition. The action was taken during Serra's June convention in Milwaukee. It was attended by some 1,400 people. With 16,000 members in 31 countries, Serra promotes vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Membership has been restricted to Catholic lay men since the organization was founded in Seattle in 1935. In this diocese there are chapters in Fall River, New Bedford and Attleboro. In most Serra clubs, however, wives of members have attended meetings and participated in vocation projects without being official members. During a 9Q-minute debate before the vote 17 delegates spoke in favor of the amendment, nine 'voiced opposition. Those in favor said there is a need to get in tune with the church and society, cited inability to attract new members, called for recognition of women as willing church workers, and said the move would be an opportunity to join with other church organizations in being nondiscriminatory. Those opposed said there was no groundswell of women seeking membership, said acceptance of women would diminish a feeling of "male spirituality" unique to Serra, expressed a fear that women may take over the organization, and said that acceptance of women may cast a shadow Of uncertainty over the future of the organization. Passage was recommended by a planning committee which has been studying the issue since 1983, consulting with Serra leaders, bishops, priests, male and female religious and wives of Serra members, around the world.

Off to Washington Continued from Page One Gertrude O'Brien, a secretary 13 years. The chancery was like a happy family - in 13 years, never' a cross word. He was always the same. "I'm happy and sad: happy he's doing what he's wanted to do but sad for us that he's leaving." Meanwhile, back at the cathedral, Msgr. Harrington will be· remembered by daily Massgoers for his spiritually-oriented comments on the weather and his affectionate reminiscences of departed parishioners at memorial Masses. He is also famous among parishioners for his astonishing collection of half a hundred hats, selections from which he frequently wore at parish social events. Sisters at the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home in Fall River, where he was chaplain for seven years, recall his insistence that he be waked at night if help was needed in moving a patient. He has been equally available at the cathedral rectory, where he routinely answered '2 and 3 a.m. rings at the door. "Nobody was ever turned away," said Mary Sullivan, a cathedral parishioner for 41 years. "The homeless, the poor, the unmarried girls - he helped ev~ryone." She also recalled Msgr. Harrington's pastoral visits during the long illness of her late husband, Dr. Frederick J. Sullivan, for many years chief of medicine, president of the medical staff and a trustee at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River. "His visits meant so much to Fred," she said. Mrs. Sullivan said some 500 . people turned out for a June 29 parish reception honoring Msgr. Harrington. Testifying to the rector's rapport with the aged, they included scores from the many senior citizens' housing developments within the parish. A~ for Msgr. Harrington, he said he derives "great joy and satisfaction from the activities that surround service to the people of God."In Washington, he hopes to combine some pastoral work with his academic pursuits..

Paul Noelke, committee chairman, said approval would enable Serra to increase ability to attract younger members, improve its image among seminarians and younger priests, and advance its goal of promoting vocations. He said the amendment provides for local clubs to initiate the . change "at their own pace and in their best interest."

Brother Morin A memorial Mass was offered July 2 in St. Anne's Church, Fall River, for Brother Alban Morin, 73, or" the Brothers of Christian Instruction, who died June 15 in Pakistan. A Fall River native, he was the son of the late Philibert and Marie Anne (Gauvin) Morin. He attended St. Anne's School. Brother Morin served in Burma for several years before being assigned to Pakistan, where he taught for over 30 years. At the time of his death he was stationed at LaSalle High School in the large city of Multan in northeast Pakistan. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. ·Marie Alice Mathieu of Fall River, . and by several nieces and nephews.

the moorina-, A Vote in the Right Direction It is predicted that one out of every two marriages entt?red

into this year in the United States will end in divorce. Seemingly because of its easy availability, divorce has become part of our sociological fiber. Adapting to this phenomenon, Americans attempt to rationalize the devastation divorce occasions in families. The stability of relationships, once taken for granted in the family unit, is all too often demolished. Multi-marriage families create hybrids of his, hers and our children. Young people contemplating marriage often have in hand a prematrimoniallegal document to be used in case of divorce. Schools are in desperate need of programs to cope with the trauma and instability divorce creates in the lives of children. Nevertheless, we are swiftly coming to believe that divorce is a sure and firm way to settle all marriage difficulties. Given all this, Americans are aghast when a nation repudiates divorce as a viable solution to family problems. Such was the case recently when the Republic of Ireland overwhelmingly vetoed attempts to legalize divorce. By a three to one majority, the Irish proclaimed that they do not feel that divorce 'solves marriage difficulties. The sheer size of the defeat was significant. From city to -farm, the citizens of Ireland made their feelings more than evident. Some in our own country discount this vote. They would have us believe that the Catholic Church in Ireland was the sole factor influencing people to vote against divorce. Such a mind would have us believe that the church instilled the fear that legalized divorce would bring in its wake material loss and disinherited children. Such opinions clearly indicate ignorance of the Irish mentality. Others taken aback by the vote look upon it as yet another indication ofdeep-seated religious factionalism between Protestants and Catholics. In fact, some felt that the vote confirmed Rome's "rule" over Irish Catholics. One commentator reflected that "the referendum result shows that nothing has changed.... The Roman Catholic Church rules supreme over a subservient state and people." In response, one merely need ask, "Where can you find a subservient person in Ireland?" Subservience has never been an Irish trait! The rather violent American reaction to the democratic process in Ireland has been inSulting. The vast majority of media commentators have depi~ted Irish men and women as "stoolies" ofthe pope, incapable of making personal decisions. Once again the media have treated the Catholic Church despicably. They certainly would think twice before they treated our Protestant and Jewish brethren in the same way. . The Irish vote to uphold the family as the heart of society is indeed to be commended and applauded. The American experience of divorce on demand has proved a far greater disaster in the total picture than have the instances where the lack of easy approval has caused personal suffering. In an age that allows the most sUperficial difficulties to-be cause for dissolving a marriage, the rejection of divorce as an answer to family ills and problems should be seen as a positive step in the right direction. , . Time will be the judge, but for now thoughtful thanks go to the Irish voters who have had the courage to tell the world that divorce is not necessarily the most effective cure for the ills besetting marriage and family life.

Vocations concern bishops WASHINGTON (NC) -In the relaxed, shirt-sleeve atmosphere of rural Minnesota, 259 U.S. bishops met last路 month to consider the complex, seemingly contradictory issue of vocations. Gathering at Benedictine-run St. John's University in Collegeville, Minn., the bishops combined a religious retreat with a series of presentations ranging from the theology of vocation to lay vocations to the. vocation of the ordained. At the assembly's conclusion, there was general agreement: - That the U.S. church is in the midst of a crisis in ordained and religious vocations. - That solutions to that crisis do not include a married priesthood or women priests. - That the crisis in vowed and priestly vocations exists alongside an "explosion" of lay ministries. 011 the opening day of the assembly, Cardinal Carlo Martini of Milan, Italy, the spiritual director for the meeting, conducted a day of recollection. He also presented reflections during morning prayers throughout the meeting. The prelates also heard from Archbishop Pio Laghi, apostolic pronuncio to the United States, who read a message from Pope John.Paulll. The heart of the daily routine was morning presentations followed by afternoon small-group discussions. In his talk on a theology of vocation, Cardinal Bernard F. Law of Boston said the vocation crisis is actually "a crisis of faith, a crisis of our call to holine!ls." The human vocation is one of sacrificial love, of total self-giving, Cardinal Law said, while sin "is the refusal of vocation."

Bishop Raymond Lucker of New Ulm, Minn., told fellow bishops that-the vocation of the laity first of all is "to change the society in .which they live and work. After that they can be called to ecclesial ministries." He said the church has mistakenly reversed the order of the laity's c~l1ing, tending to call people first to ministries within the church community. "Where we have not done so well is in recognizing, affirming, encouraging and supporting people in ministries affecting the transformation of society, which is essentially the ministry ofthe laity," said Bishop Lucker. In a series of propositions, Bishop Lucker called for, among other things, a "positive theology of sexuality," church support for women "in their ministries and in true Christian feminism," and a process for clergy listening to the laity "on their turf." Bishop Lawrence Welsh ofSpokane, Wash., summarized recent sociological research to document both the shortage of priests and the "vocation explosion" in lay ministries. Among data he cited were several indications that a church decision to begin ordaining married men or women would reverse the , decline in priestly vocations. In his talk, Bishop Welsh made what he called "a delicate observation" that bishops are committed both to defending church teachings on the priesthood and to "open dialogue with the world," including learning from scientific research. Part of a bishop's responsibility, he said, is "to strike a balance between the legislated discipline of the church on the one hand, and on the other the findings of reli~

gious research we have sponsored, the observations of many vocations personnel and the requests of other episcopal conferences." A talk by Cincinnati Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk on the ordained vocation was the bestreceived presentation, said several bishops. The archbishop said confusion' over the nature and purpose of the priesthood and the value of celibacy have contributed to the vocations decline. He said that the "universal priesthood of Christians is called upon primarily to contribute to the sanctification of the world" whereas the ordained priesthood "exists primarily for service within the church." One of the most difficult problems of today's church, the archbishop said, "lies in finding a way to affirm and maintain the real, authentic leadership role of the ordained priest without downplaying the true gifts and responsibilities of lay persons... "The problem lies in being a good shepherd without treating the people like sheep," Archbishop Pilarczyk said. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago summarized the assembly in a concluding presentation. In suggesting a vision of the future, Cardinal Bernardin said the church community should be one "in which all members, in virtue of their incorporation into Christ through baptism and confirmation, witness to his saving deeds before the entire world." \'It is a community whose designated ministers - whether ordained or lay - understand and accept their uniquely different blit complementary and necessary roles, working together for the good of all," the cardinal said.

Summer phobia Summer phobia. It's the term mothers use in anticipating summer with kids who· have too much time on their hands. Summers have traditionally been looked upon with joy by children and apprehension by mothers. But in a culture with so many mothers working outside the home, kids are experiencing summer phobia, too. Gone are the carefree days of roaming at will and checking in with Mom occasionally to prove one is alive and behaving. Since most mothers of schoolage children work, most schoolage children are under another's care for two or more months. And many of them dread it. The most common is day care, either in a neighbor's home or a center. Other forms of summer child care include camps, day camps, teenage caregivers in the child's home and older sibling care. These vary significantly in cost and care. Let's look at each in light of advantages, disadvantages, and children's reactions. Institutional day care has the advantage of having many other children, structured activities and transportation. Disadvantages include cost and a school-like environment. Many children dislike trading one school for another. Neighborhood day care has the advantage of being close to home and friends. It can be either costly or inexpensive. Disadvantages include boredom, especially if the

caregiver simply turns chfldren over to the backyard and television. Some caregivers offer children a wide variety of activities, however. Camp. The cost ofsummer camp is prohibitive for most parents. After the first week, children usually like it. It has the bonus of a wide variety of activities and friends. Day camp. These are b~coming more numerous and popular. Children are exposed to a wide variety of outdoor and indoor activities but return home at the end of the day. Cost ranges from moderate to expensive. Caregivers in the cbild's home is probably the most popular with children if they like the caregiver. They are on their hOple turf with toys and friends nearby. Cost can be moderate, especially if there is more than one child. Older sibling care is least popular with children. It has the plus of convenience and low cost but can lead to deteriorating relationships and ongoing sibling battles. Older children don't like it because it puts them in the position of summer-mom with power struggle and adult responsibility. Whatever form of summer care is selected, parents can monitor and change it if it isn't working out. Those who are sensitive to their children's anxiety and experience need to listen to their complaints. Several parents told me that in the past they had little idea

that their children were so unhappy until the summer was over. Probably the best situation is one which combines the above: a couple of days of day-camp, two with an in-home sitter, and one with older sibling care. This dilutes boredom and gives children unhappy with one caregiver some days to enjoy another. It's good to emphasize that in spite of. summer phobia, many mothers would prefer to be home but can't leave their jobs for three months without jeopardizing them. Even though child care can consume a good part of their salary, they are preserving their jobs. So the whole family has to 'cooperate and sacrifice even in less than perfect circumstances. One family therapist commented, "When Mom goes to work, the whole family goes to work." By cooperating with summer caregivers, the children are going to work. It is their part-time job. They can help alleviate problems or intensify t1:lem. 'Parents need to point this out because the whole family benefits financially from Mom's work.

Prayer: just do your best Q. I need some help when I pray. Often wild thoughts come into my mind and I have to start all over. Sometimes I even rush through my prayers trying to get these thoughts out of my mind•. Maybe 1 am superstitious, but can you help in some way? (Louisiana) A. You are not alone in wondering how to deal with these kinds of distractions in prayer. It is important to recall that the essentials of our prayer are not in the number of words we say but in the desire of our heart to spend this time as intimately as possible in the presence of God. God knows, perhaps better than you, that you would not be "praying" at all unless you wanted to Ispend that little time with him per. sonally. Knowing also our human Inature better than we do, he accepts the fact that our mind wanders, especially when prayer time ,comes during the distracting everyday business of our lives. Whenever we become aware that our mind is wandering during prayer, the best thing is to humbly, patiently and calmly tum back to God and continue without attempting to go back.and say things over again.

FATHER JOHN DIETZEN

Q. i recently read an article on divorce and excommunication which mentioned a Pauline Privilege. I'd like to know what this is, and how it makes a new marriage allowable in the church. (California) A. -The Pauline Privilege is a common type of marriage case in the Catholic Church. It is named after St. Paul, and refers to a principle he laid down for his early Christian converts about their own marriages. Basically Paul says that if a Christian's non-Christian spouse is unwilling to continue living as husband and wife after the one partner's conversion to Christ and wishes to abandon the marriage, he or she should be allowed to do so. (I Cor. 7 12-15) Since at least around the year 325, the church has interpreted this statement of Paul to mean that the marriage between two unbaptizt:d persons can be dissolved when: . 1. the unbaptized party refuses to live with his or her partner after that partner has become a baptized Christian; 2. the partner who has become baptized enters a marriage with another baptized Christian. This remains basically the theory and procedure of the church in what is called the Pauline Privilege:

Otherwise we might, as. you suggest, become mechani'c!al and' almost superstitious about it. . As is so often true, we can learn much here about our relationship with God by comparing it with other friendships, If our mind Wan- ' . ders in a conversation, we don't go back and start all over again. We simply pick up where we are and go on. We should do the same when we spend time and conversation with God.

Reporting dissent

IIWhat progress the Church is making! When I came there were just a handful of people. Our own Archbishop was raised here! And he's very schoolminded. The people are hungry for education; they have great faith in the Fathers and in us. This is what has brought the Church from scratch to what it is today." - Sisler Idana

SAN MINIATO, Italy (NC) Catholic newspapers must report on dissent in the church, but should always do so within "the context of what official Catholic teaching truly is," says the head of the Pontifical Commission for Social Communications. "Dissent must be reported by diocesan newspapers," said Archbishop John P. Foley, former editor of the Philadelphia Catholic Standard and Times. "Not to do so would be a failure to recognize reality and could possibly undermine the credibility of the newspaper." But at the same time, said the archbishop, "Catholic newspapers should defend the teaching of thechurch and should place reports in the context of what official Catholic teaching truly is." Catholic newspapers have not yet "satisfactorily. resolved" this tension, he added.

The Lord still calls

How to Save Money

By Joseph Motta Very Rev. John J. Smith, director of Vocations for the Fall River diocese, thinks that "it's wonderful that the Lord is still calling people to the priesthood and religious life. "The call is a gift from God," says Father Smith, also pastor of St. John the Evangelist parish, Attleboro, and Episcopal Vicar for the Attleboro-Taunton area of the diocese. "Every priest and religious must consider himself or herself a vocations director," he said. "It would be a beautiful grace if every priest, religious and parent were to work together to pray, encourage and foster vocations." Young men investigating a vocation "have almost all been involved in parish life," Father Smith said. Most ofthem discuss their feelings with a parish priest, he said, before they contact his office. Father Smith meets regularly with religious men and women serving in the diocese, and is "try-' ingto coordinate efforts to make vocation awareness happen." He hopes to encourage formation of vocation committees as part of parish councils to foster parish awareness of vocations. He is also working on a program, "Creating Vocations Awareness in Catholic High Schools," in which he and diocesan priests and religious will address diocesan high school classes during a week when. students will study vocations under supervision of a member of the school's religious education de.partment. "The single most important factor in encouraging someone to be a priest or religious is personal contact with an ordained or vowed person," Father Smith said, citing a study by the National Conference of Diocesan Vocation Directors with that finding. He recommends that priests, religious and laity strive to provide youngpeopie with good examples of Christian lifestyles. In particular, he said, priests and religious must realize the tremendous potential they have in influencing young people to consider vocations. "They must return to the practice of encouraging and inviting young people to experience their lifestvles." Father Smith works with men who have expressed interest in vocations to discern their educa-

"Christ did not give us any vocations direction except that of prayer," he added, recalling Christ's words: "Pray the Lord of the harvest that he send forth laborers into his harvest." . "He gave us his personal example," Father Smith said.

Five young men were ordained for service to the diocese in May. Three will begin studies for the , priesthood this fall, Father Smith said. A bachelor's degree is required, to enter the seminary theologate, he continued, with 18 credit hours of philosophy a must. A man may enter the college seminary at any time, he noted, to earn the bachelor's degree and/ or . philosophy credits, adding that it offers candidates the opportunity to mature both spiritually and academically.

__ ~ustlife supports "seamless garment" WASHINGTON (NC)-~-A-coalition of Christians taking pro-life "seamless garment" views on both abortion and the arms race has formed JustLife, a new political action committee whose advisers include Bishop Leroy T. Matthiesen of Amarillo, Texas. . According to a statement from the interdenominational group, JustLife "takes positions that are pro-life on abortion, pro-life on arms control and pro-life on poverty issues" and will "endorse candidates whose positions demonstrate a commitment to protecting life, justice and peace." The Washington-based organization said that other groups can support "a consistent life ethic" but none can legally endorse can-

didates as it plans to do. The new political action committee said it differs from Christian organizations ofthe left, which ignore the unborn, and those of the right, which address abortion but ignore poverty and arms issues. The committee said it will endorse a number of congressional candidates in the 1986 campaign but look toward greater involvement in 1988. Bishop Matthiesen is a member of JustLife's 29-person advisory board. Other members include Episcopal Bishop William Frey of Colorado, Lutheran Bishop Lowell Erdahl ofthe southeastern Minnesota district of the American Lutheran Church and Juli Loesch of Feminists for Life.

Provincetown blessing

"A faith-filled, fun-filh~d day" Story and photos by Joseph Motta

Calling the Blessing of the Fleet an act of faith on the part of the fishermen of Provincetown, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin traveled to that Cape Cod community June 29 to pray for the fishermen's safety and success. "I'm delighted to be back again," the bishop told those gathered for a Mass at Provincetown's St. Peter the Apostle Church, "particularly because the blessing falls on the feast of Saints Peter and Paul this year." The celebration is traditionally held on the last Sunday of June. Escorted by a Knights of Columbus honor guard and welcomed to the liturgy by its choir and a rousing trumpet solo, Bishop Cronin was greeted by Father Edward J. Burns, pastor. With Msgr. John J. Oliveira as master of ceremonies and concelebrants Fathers Burns, Frank Aresta, SCS, and Leo Ryska, OSB a visitor from St. Meinrad Arch~ abbey, St. Meinrad, Ind., assisting, the bishop spoke of how close he has become to the Provincetown fishing community and of how the annual blessing is "a time to renew bonds."

ermen at Mass, rather than at wharfside, as in the past: "The fishermen in church heard the prayer for the first time," he noted. "The intention is to accentuate the blessing for the fishing fleet. " "Lord, be well disposed to our prayers and by your holy hand bless these boats and the fishermen, as you were pleased to let your blessing hover over Noah's Ark in the deluge," he prayed at the eucharistic liturgy. "Reach out your hand to bless them, Lord, as you did to Blessed Peter as he walked upon the sea. Send your holy angel from on high to watch over them and all on board to ward off any threat of disaster and to guide their course through calm waters to the destined port. "Then, after a time, when they have had success in their labors, may you in your loving providence bring them back with glad hearts _ to their homes." Father Burns, pastor of St. Peter's parish since 1978, noted his pleasure in hosting Bishop Cronin for the ninth time. "It's a faith-filled, fun-filled day," he said.

"L.ooking across the sea," he said at the nautically decorated church, "we think of St. Peter's in Provincetown greeting St. Peter's in Rome." This 39th blessing marked a return to the roots of the celebration as the bishop blessed boats from a fishing vessel in Cape Cod Bay rather than from Provincetown's MacMillan Wharf. , On the Ruthy L, the bishop's host boat, the mood was exuberant. Friends and relatives of Kenneth and Ruth Macara sang hymns and tossed rose petals at passing· craft after the Ruthy L was blessed. Macara is the vessel's captain; the boat is named for his wife. The blessing held special significance for the couple; they recently lost a son at ·sea. One happy passenger was Lisa Audette of St. Joan of Arc parish, Orleans, a friend of the Macaras. "It's a special day," she said. "It's very special because we've got the bishop on the boat." Another difference in this year's blessing was that Bishop Cronin prayed for the Provincetown fish-

Teens: the spice· of life? .

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny Dear Dr. Kenny: My two teens are so self-centered. They're never around for meals or for work, but always there to ask for money. And they can't make up their' minds. One minute they are so sure they want to do something; next minute, it's just the opposite. I keep telling myself that it's just a stage, but then I get terrified: What if they stay like this? More to the point, I want to like and enjoy my teens. How can I? - Indiana The teenage years are difficult times, but they are exciting as well. I don't know if you can "enjoy" your teens. I am sure, however, that they can add spice to your life.. Teen years are an in-between time. On the one hand, youngsters are pulling at the reins, trying to break free. In an immature attempt to demonstrate their adulthood, they may break every household rule. On the other hand, they are scared. Despite their need to break out, they do not have partners or careers. They are rebelling against their family of childhood without having the security of a replacement or the status of a career. For these reasons, the teen years pose an identity crisis. Not content with the status of unemployed

child, the teen strains to break free. It is the parents' privilege (or· problem) to try to hold all the pieces together while the teen finds out who he or she is and what life is all about. . Teens are not the only ones to be scared. Parents get scared too. Parents can see all the "big-time'~ dangers inherent in trying one's wings. Cars that go too fast. Sex that leads to pregnancy. Drugs and alcohol that can steal a mind .and warp behavior. The price of a mistake may seem too high for a parent to tolerate. The temptation of many parents is to tighten controls and enforce strict obedience. On the other hand, teens must have room to grow. If independence is the goal (and it is), strict obedience is not a good prelude to complete freedom. There must be a more gradual loosening of the reins. If you give them room to grow, teens will add spice to your life as well as gray to your hair. You must take some risks. You must also be there to applaud them when efforts go well, and even more, to support them when they stumble.

Let them gain some life experience while living at home, before going awa'y to college or moving into their own apartment. You

should be avairable when they make their first big mistakes. V se common sense. Let them drive, but if they drink or speed, take away the keys for a month. Let them date, but see that they get home ai a reasonable hour. Let them drink a beer or a glass of wine at home, but if they come . home drinking, enforce a strict curfew. Parents of teens are caught between two difficult choices. If you set up multiple rules and enforce total obedience, teens will , not be prepared to make choices on their own when they leave. On the other hand, if you have no rules, teens may run wild and destroy themselves. Parents need considerable wisdom to strike a middle path. The best answer may be to impose some general rules without filling in all the details. Curfew and driving behavior are two good areas to address~ Don't let them drink and drive, or drive too fast. And see that they are home at a proper time. Stick to these rules and give them some freedom in other areas. Then watch and pray. Reader questions on family living and child care to be answered in print are invited. Address the Kennys, Box 872, St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, Ind. 47978.

By Antoinette Bosco Lately I'm hearing a lot about a disturbing phenomenon called "private disobedience": - Disgruntled employees sabotage their employers' information ., systems by causing computer programs to self-destruct. - Steelworkers put dead fish into safe-deposit boxes at banks that refuse to support the finan'cially troubled steel companies. - Environmental activists pound nails into trees slated for harvesting, ruining chain saws and endangering loggers. - Anti-abortion activists turn to acts of violence, bombing clinics rather than staying within legal channels to oppose abortion. Such acts of protest are illegal and sometimes violent. They undermine the spirit of compromise which is so crucial in a complex, rapidly changing society. What are the roots of this private disobedience? They reach back to the 1960s when many people began to feel alienated from large, private institutions that held much power.

3 diocesan sisters help celebrate 150th year' of St. Joseph community Three Sisters of St. Joseph from the Fall River diocese were among approximately 1,600 sisters from the United States and Canada who celebrated the 150th anniversary of their community in North America in St. Louis last month. Sisters Rhea Quintin, a teacher at St. Mary School, New Bedford; Mary Clotilde Remy, a music teacher and resident at Blessed Sacrament Convent, Fall River; and Emma Guenette, a Blessed Sacrament parish religious education teacher who also resides at the convent, attended the celebration. "I can only say that the meeting was an inspiration to all who at~ tended;" Sister Guenette said. "The speakers were excellent. They helped us realize more and more that. God works through many channels.

"It was a great experience."

Held in St. Louis because it was the first U.S. city to which the sisters came, the conference theme was "Celebration of the Sisters of St. Joseph in the western hemisphere, enriched by the past, challenged by the present, empowered for the future." A conference highlight was a peace vigil, for which the I,600 sisters marched to the St. Louis Gateway Arch, where they heard Dom Helder Camara, retired Archbishop of Recife, Brazil, and a spokesman for peace and human rights. The anniversary was also celebrated in music, dance and the arts. Events included a program

Divine providence papal topic

Pope urges patriarch to seek unity in Leban~n VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II urged Lebanon's recently elected Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir to work for, continuation of a pluralistic state ! in Lebanon by bringing Moslem and Christian communities together. The pope commented as he presented the pallium, a circular' band of white wool worn by heads of metropolitan sees, to Patriarch Sfeir. The patriarch was elected head ofthe world's Maronite Catholics April 19 at a Maronite synod in Beirut, Lebanon. "A pluralistic Lebanon, open to the contributions of different civilizations and capable of harmoniz:' ing them" while safeguarding the nation's identity, should be maintained and strengthened, the pope said. Moslems and Christians "for centuries have developed an image

of Lebanon" which has shown men of different cultures living together in peace, the pope added, urging Christians and Moslems to strive to achieve that state again. For the past II years, Christians and Moslems in Lebanon have been engaged in a war which has torn apart the tiny nation of 2.6 million people. More than 100,000 people have died and hundreds of thousands more have been forced to flee their homes. The pope told Patriarch Sfeir that the Mar,onite church must address itself to the damage caused by "divisions imposed by war, the separations due to partisan politics, the disquietness of young people and the weariness ofadults." He urged "updated catechesis, well-planned formation of clergy and religious, attention to social needs and to the new poor created by war," especially the refugees.

Valuable Liberty VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II was' presented with one of the 10 original models of the Statue of Liberty at a recent general audience in St. Peter's Square. , The 4-foot-4-inch model, made and signed by French sculptor' Auguste Bartholdi when he was creating the famed statue, was given to the pORe by'members of the Bartholdi-Eiffel Committee. The French committee, commemorating the centenary . of ,the , .....

presentation of Miss Liberty to the United States, recently presented a similar model to President Reagan, said Cyril Viguier, committee president. Viguier said the statue presented to, the pope was valued at more than $4 million. Marjorie Weeki, an officiaf at the Pontifical Commission for Social Communications, said Pope John Paul smiled when he saw the model and said, "I am very gratefu!."

Peaceful space papal aim VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has urged nations to develop "joint agreements" fo~ development of "peaceful uses of space resources" to unite the human family "in justice and peace." The pope spoke to a recent Pontifical Academy of Sciences study group exploring "remote sensing and its impact on dev,eloping countries." The pope also criticized politicians for preventing everyone in the world from having enough to eat. "The resources of science make it possible to feed the whole human family," the pope said. But, he said, "there is still a lack of'firm determination in political circles to make proper use of technological means" toward this end. The pope said that remote sensing, which enables scientists to survey huge expanses ofthe earth's surface via satellites, could lead to increased food production. He urged them to use remote sensing for "the improvement of soil condition, forecasting and increasing

the development of crop harvesting both in quantity and quality, and the introduction of new crops." At the meeting, the pope also voiced satisfaction with the concluding statement of an October 1984 science academy study group. The 1984 group urged a ban on militarization of space and said that "it is essential to prevent a spiral of competitive deployment of weapons in space." The 1984 group also called for "an international treaty" with the purpose of"banning the placement and testing of all weapons in outer space, on the moon, and all other celestial bodies, and in banning tests of anti-satellite weapons, wherever located." , The document also noted that use of space technology "is proving to be an almost esseqtial technology for locating, managing and ,caring for our renewable and non,relievable resources, particularly mineral exploration, agriculture, forestry an~t 'a~d ,use" and 1,1rged further study in this area.

VATICAN CITY (NC) Divine providence was discussed by Pope John Paul II at a recent general audience. His remarks follow: Our faith in divine providence is based on our belief in God as our father and creator. God created e¥erything that exists, and he ,keeps it all in existence. Thus, divine providence is like a con.stant, unending confirmation of the work of creation in all its variety and richness. It is a sign of the continual presence of God in the world. By meditating on the mystery of creation, we can discover how God favors life over death, being over nothingness, light over darkness. God is the source of all that is true, good and beautiful. The truth about divine providence runs through all of Revelation. It is a fundamental point of reference for all that God said and did. As the Letter to the Hebrews says: "In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by a son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world." TW-0ughout the history of the church, this mystery has been affirmed in the ordinary magisterium. The First Vatican Council directed particular attention to the truth of God's providence in order to refute the errors of materialism which denied the existence of God _and t1;le errors' ,of deism which denied God's continued influence on the created world. The Second ,Vatican Council also spoke frequently of. this great,mystery.

Notre Dame's. president, Holy Cross Father Theodore Hesburgh, who in the 1960s and early 1970s spearheaded an international effort to formulate the nature of Catholic universities today and their relationship. with the church. Father Hesburgh said the new Vatican proposals would force Notre Da1he into "tragic" alternatives, "either to cease being formally Catholic... or to cease being a university." . Signing the joint report were Father Hesburgh and the heads of Catholic' University, Fordham, Georgetown, Villanova, St. Louis, Marquette, DePaul, Boston College. Also Dayton, Detroit, San Diego and Santa Clara and, in Canada, Laval and St. Jerome's College. The proposed norms, drafted last year and sent to Catholic college and university heads for criticism and recommendations, have been questioned because of their linkage of Catholic identity of higher education institutions with direct control by bishops. A report from the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities said the proposed norms would violate standards of institutional autonomy and academic freedom that U.S. institutions must observe to qualify for accreditation and I professional status. The group meeting at Notre Dame agreed with objectives of Catholic higher education cited in the Vatican proposals or "schema" but said that if the norms were implemented as proposed, they would "cripple the present efforts

of our North American universities to fulfill the mission the schema .describes." Direcl ecclesiastical control would lend credence to charges that Catholic universities are "places.of narrow sectarian indoctrination," and this would threaten their rights to public funds, the , presidents said. They said the "single most important problem in the present document" was its failure to recognize any form,of authentically Catholic 'university except one "under the jurisdictional control of ecclesiastical authorities." . They called for recognition of "another category of CathQlic university," referring to institutions "not under direct church control" but "authentically Catholic... not only'in their original tradition but in their continuing inspiration." They urged the Vatican congregation to adopt as its model the "far more successful" formulations of institutional autonomy and aca-

demic freedom in the document, "The Catholic .University in the Modern World," un~nimously approved in 1972 by delegates of the Intermhional Federation ofCatholic Universities meetfng in Rome. In his separat~,response to the Vatican, Father Hesburgh quoted extensively from the 1972 document, urging adoption of its approaches. The Holy Cross priest, whose 34-year tenure, ,at Notre Dame makes him the longt\st-serving president of any U.S. university, said juridical norms in the draft are "contrary to civil law" and would subject Catholic institutions to costly, destructive litigation. He said the draft also threatens U.S. Catholic' institutions "with total loss of fil)ancial support" from public funds and private foundations. In addition, he said, the draft treats theology as catechetics rather than as a .field. of "research and scholarship."

""u,N_ DR. JOSE Estrela Rego meets with Tom Lynch, executive vice-president of St. Anne's Hospital. (Motta photo)

Sister hospitals cooperate in Fall River, Ponta Delgada In a continuing effort to reach out to the area's Portuguese community, St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, recently hosted Dr. Jose . Estrela Rego, administrator of . Ponta Delgada Hospital, St. Michael, Azores, for three days to discuss needs of Portuguese peapIe living in the area and in the Azores. Most Azorean emigrants settle. in Southeastern Massachusetts, thus a "sister hospital" relationship between the institutions is considered valuable for both. St. Anne's. has' established a course in practical Portuguese for its employees, hired bilingual staff members and translated hospital literature and information signs into Portuguese. Hospital-sponsored health screenings have been conducted in Fall River's Portuguese parishes and a Portuguese Community Health Care Task Force was established two years ago. Composed of educators, business persons, social workers and clergy, it seeks to serve the Portuguese community by addressing issues of health care and communication.

population it serves. However, Azorean regional authorities and the central Portuguese government have promised a bigger hospital by 1991. Dr. Rego is active in Misericordia, a church-established confraternity of laypersons who work in conjunction with the government to provide health care. For five centuries, Dr. Rego said, Misericordia provided hospital services in Portugal. After health care was nationalized, costing citizens nothing, Misercordia went through a redefinition of its role and now concentrates on serving the abandoned, the elderly and homebound invalids. According to Father John J. Oliveira, chairman of St. Anne's Portuguese task force and parochial vicar at St. Michael's parish, Fall River, the task force methods could be applied to any othei"large ethnic population that may settle in the area. "We're laying a lot of groundwork for the future," he said, noting that "St. Anne's Hospital is making a top-shelf effort to provide first-rate, top quality care to newcomers and everyone else." At Of. Rego's invitation, representatives of St. Anne's plan to visit Ponta Delgada Hospital. Dates have yet to be arranged. M. Paula Raposa, organizer of the Portuguese task force and a parishioner at St. John of God Church, Somerset, was lauded for her efforts by Tom Lynch, executive vice-president at St. Anne's.

Dr. Rego told The Anchor that he accepted the Catholic hospital's invitation so that he might learn more about American and Catholic health care. He said he had a particular interest in studying immigration-related changes in the Portuguese community's health needs. . Ponta Delgada Hospital, he said, has 400 beds,.not enough for the

Although the pope highlighted the church's preferential option for the poor while in Medellin, he also told priests - many of whom are involved in politics, union organizing and other social change activities - that their work with the poor is to be "ofa religious and spiritual character." "The church cannot in any way let the banner of justice, which is one of the prime demands of the, Gospel. ..be seized by any ideology or any political current," he said in Medellin. On several occasions during his pontificate, Pope John Paul has voiced concern that social action in developing nations is being influenced by Marxism, with its theory of class struggle as the means to right an unjust social order. Before the pope arrived in Colombia, he rejected requests for meetings with two guerrilla groups. But at an outdoor Mass for 800,000 people in Bogota July 2, the pope asked the guerrillas to "put an end to the destruction and deaths of so many innocent people." During a meeting in Bogota's EI Campin Stadium later that day, the pope told youths to resist the temptation to resort to armed struggle in the face of unemployment and social injustice. He also advised them against alienating themselves with "drugs, alcohol, sex and other lamentable vices." The pope compared drugs to black slavery when he visited the Shrine of St. Peter Claver in Cartegna, Colombia, July 6. The 17thcentury Catholic missionary and physician provided spiritual counseling and medical treatment to slaves brought into the city's seaport.

"Today, as in the 17th century in which Peter Claver lived, the greed for money seizes the hearts of many people and transforms them, through the drug trade, into traffickers of the freedom of their brothers," he said. The same day, the pope visited the town of Armero, almost totally destroyed in a mudslide after a volcanic eruption last November. More than 20,000 people died in the mudslide. White crosses mark the transformation of the city into a cemetery. Pope John Paul asked God to "ease the pain of so many families, dry the tears of so many brothers and protect the ... many orphans." He also prayed that from the tragedy would come "a new city of your children and brothers, where fraternity reigns, families are renewed, tables are replete with bread

and the fields and hearths are filled with song." Officials closed roads to keep visitors away from the town while the pope was there, because the volcano had shown signs of erupting again. Afterward, the pope met with and consoled friends and relatives of the victims in the nearby town of Lerida. The pope also prayed for Armero's victims when he consecrated Colombia to the Virgin Mary July 3 at Our Lady of Chiquinquira sanctuary, about 65 miles outside BoJtota. He designed his prayer around phrases ofthe Hail Mary, emphasizing his concerns for Latin America and, in particular, Colombia. Pope John Paul left Colombia July 7 for a seven-hour visit to the Caribbean island-state of St. Lucia' where he celebrated Mass and visited officials.

Jesus: the only truth By Cecilia Belanger I keep hearing people ask if God is punishing them. They seldom ask if they're punishing themselves. God doesn't have to lift a finger. Our punishments come from the fact that we haven't yet learned how to renounce the evil in the world. We separate ourselves from God each day. There is a war between God and what St. Paul called "the hosts of darkness." People are choosing the latter, taking the easy way out." Someone once said that to be able to lead others, one must be willing to go forward alone. There aren't enough of those people around anymore, We're afraid to name wrongs and sins for what they are. Nobody wants to use the word "sin." Jesus was rejected, yet continued to preach. It's not a question of righteous against unrighteous, but a condemnation of that part of life that we're letting slip away. We accept patch jobs which cover sins, while prophets stand under judgment. We're not looking beneath the surface of things, so we become unfaithful to Christ, who always looked beneath the surface. What kind of a "homecoming" are we going to give Jesus? What will he find? How faithful will we . have been? Why do we see Jesus' world - the kingdom he talked about -as an impossibility?· It's because people prefer those other gods to him. People live with a faltering faith even though they attend church.

Pro-life anthem touching hearts on Christian radio APPLETON, Wis. (NC) "Hearts Must Change," a song recorded by Appleton musician Michael Oliver, will never be a top seller.
