,'Obsession with Abortion' Hit by NCCB President By Jim Lackey

Refugee Prob'lem Likened To Holocaust of Jews Tens of thousands of Vietnames refugees are drowning, thousands more are huddled together in filthy camps, thousands of Cambodian refugees' are starving to death. And goverment officials are planning and meeting and discussing the problem. 'President Carter has expanded the U.S. quota of refugees and urged other nations to do so also, but resettlement officials warn that aid is coming too slowly, too sparsely to avert what they call another Holocaust. Religious leaders and heads of service agencies called for governments to cut the red tape holding back the flow of refugees. Experienced resettlement officials compare the situation to the Holocaust which took millions of Jewish lives in Nazi Germany not only because of the hundreds of thousands who are dying and the racial overtones of the expulsion, of Vietnam's ~thnic Chinese, but because C?f the bureaucratic red tape th;at prevents outside nations from averting tragedy. -I

Bishops Prepare ,For World Synod VATICAN CITY(NC) - The church has begun the final consultation stage in preparing a "working 'instrument" for the 1980 World Synod of Bishops, which will discuss the Christian family in the modern world. Cardinal Ladislaw Rubin, general secretary of the Synod, said a preliminary document on the theme has 'been sent to the world's bishops, and other top church officials. The document, he said, will be the basis for discussion and suggestions from the bishops, major religious superiors, and "to the extent possible" from "priests and laity throughout the church."

WASHINGTON (NC) - The president of the National Confer,ence of Catholic Bishops has sharply criticized the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that parents do not have to be consulted before an abortion is performed on an unmarried minor. "Parental rights and family relationships have become victims of the Supreme Court's obsession with abortion," said Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco about the Supreme Court's ruling that pregnant teen-agers must be given the right to bypass their pa~ents and go to a judge if, they want permission to obtain an abortion. Archbishop Quinn said the court's decision "goes a long way toward tearing apart the fa,bric of the family:' The Supreme Court, in striking down the Massachusetts law requiring unmarried minor females to obtain the consent of their parents or a judge before undergoing an abortion, said that "every minor must have the opportunity - if she so desires to go directly to a court without first consulting or notifying her parents:' The 'court said the Massachu-, setts law was unconstitutional because it required parental consultation or notification in all cases where abortion was being considered. The court's decision expanded upon' a 1976 ruling striking down a Missouri law which required parental consent for abortion. The Massachusetts law differed in that it allowed minors to go to a court for permission to obtain an abortion if the parents refused to grant such permission. But the court ruled that did not go far enough in ensuring unmarried minors the right to obtain an abortion. "If she -(the unmarried minor) satisfies the court that she is mature and well-informed enough to make intelligently the abortion decision on her own, the court must authorize her to act without parental consultation or consent," the court ruled. The vote was 8-1, with only Justice Byron R. White dissent-' ing. There had been hope ~at the court, while earlier striking down the Missouri law, might uphold the Massachusetts law because it did not grant parents an ab-

'SOlute veto over abortions. The U.S. Catholic Conference was among those who filed "friendof-the-court" briefs in the case asking that the Massachusetts law be upheld. "While this is true that this court has held ... that ,a parent does not have the right to control the abortion decision of an , unmarried minor, it did not hold that a parent has no right~ to participate in such a decision," the brief, filed last January, said. Even if a pregnant teen-ager,

is unable to satisfy a court that she is competent to make the abortion decision alone, the Supreme Court said 's,he "must be permitted to show that an abortion nevertheless would be in her best interest." The court then must authorize the abortion if it is persuaded that the abortion is in the minor~s own best interest, but it may also decline to authorize one if it is not.

Hospital Unveils New Weapon In Cancer Fight Cancer patients at St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, are now be路 ing treated with a linear accelerator machine, providing the safest, most effective and most efficient therapy currently available. The machine, the only one in the commonwealth south of Boston, is a vital addition to the medical services of Greater Fall River, according to George Bounakes, M.D., chairman of the cancer treatment coordinating committee at St. Anne's. Patients who previously traveled to Boston or Providence for daily treatments are now receiving comprehensive care in Fall River. St. Anne's oncology (cancer care) clinic has developed a specialized diagnostic and therapeutic program in partnership with University Hospital, Boston University Medical Center. Radiation therapy, note officials, has long been recognized as an effective treatment for many forms of cancer. It is used either alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy, in about 50% of all cancer casEls. The new linear accelerator, which replaces an older cobalt unit previously used, has numerous advantages for both patient and physician. Instead of using a radioactive material as an energy source, the linear accelerator trimsforms electricity into a beam of radiation,' reducihg patient discomfort, increasing ease of路 operation for technicians and giving physicians more freedom and flexibility in planning treatment. Dr. Simon Kim, a radiotherapist, will prescribe radiation medicine and direct operation of the machine. He comes to Fall River from Pondville Hospital and Boston University Medical Center. The linear accelerator will serve increasing numbers of patients from Southeasiern Massachusetts. While a similar machine is being installed at Cape Cod Hospital, patients from the Cape and Islands will also utilize the service, according to James F. Lyons, 'executive direc.tor of St. Anne's Hospital. Two .large donations aided ac. quisition of the linear accelerator, said Lyons. The Thomas Anthony Pappas Charitable Foundation of Boston made a substantial donation in memory of Bessie Bounakes Pappas. The St. Anne's Hospital medical staff offered a donation in memory of Mother Pierre Marie, O.P., a leader of the hospital and of the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation, who died of cancer in 1970.

Sr. .M.

Sister Mary Margaret, born in England, entered the Sisters of Mercy in 1924. She had been principal of St. John's School, Attleboro, and SS. Peter and Paul School, Fall River; and taught at St. Patrick School, Fall River, St. Mary's School, North Attleboro, and Holy Family School, New Bedford. Her funeral Mass was at Holy .Qhost Church, Tiverton. She resided in Holy Ghost convent and taught in the parish religious education program.

Successor to Francis FATHER CULLEN

'You Always Remember What Yo~ Love' By Pat -McGowan Around August 15 the cheer quotient in 'Fall River will take a sharp drop, directly related to the departure of Father William J. Cullen, SJ from the faculty of Bishop Connolly High School. As Father James O'Brien, acting principal, expressed it: "He seems to be t~ first person who comes to almost everybody's mind when he or she thinks of Connolly." Small wonder. In his 12 years at the Fall River boys' school, Father Cullen's community outreach has taken him to all but one of the area's 32 parishes for weeltend ministry or for celebration of uncounted weddings and baptisms. (The holdout is St. Elizabeth's, Fall Rivet- but there's still time to bat 1.000.)

Additionally, he's always been available to speak at such activities as retreats, Cursillos, Marriage Encounter weekends and information nights, charismatic meetings and workshops. This year he added the diocesan permanent diaconate program to his - ~hedule, giving candidates an intensive course in homiletics and public speaking. At Connolly itself, he has taught .religion and over the years has directed a scintillating series of dramas and musicals. '.'1 started ouHeaching history and social stUdies at ,Boston College High School," he related, "but when I got to Connolly, a drama coach was needed." With characteristic enthusiasm he plunged into the world of theatre, paying special attention to the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, among his favorites since childhood. ' "What a time they would have had with Watergate," he observed. In all, ,Father Cullen' has produced 19 full-length plays at

Connoll3C, plus grooming students for entrance in 15 drama festivals. His all-time favorite production, he said, was Thornton Wilder's "Our Town." His new assignment takes him to Fairfield University in Con-. necticut, where he will be campus minister and where he expects to use even'more frequently than he now does his extraordinary gift for counseling. -Born in Cambridge, one of six cltildren, with a father making $21 a week, young Bill Cullen couldn't afford to attend a Jesuit high school. But he made it to 'Boston College and this year celebrates his silver jubilee of both graduation from BC and membership in the Society of Jesus. From the experience of those 25 years he offered some thoughts on youth at the recent diocesan Catholic education convention, beginning his discussion by addressing his audience of teachers as "fellow heroes." He said that in 1967, when he began his Connolly career, "kids were obnoxious but very exciting" as they protested Vietnam, the draft and the "slow-moving Church." The period of unrest continued until about 1973, he said, then "all id91s were down, replaced by easy slogans. "That was the time of such sayings as "Grow where you're planted' and 'Things go better with Jesus,'" he recalled. "Textbooks were vacuous and 'The Little 'Prince' and 'The Velveteen Rabbit' all but replaced the Gospels as subjects for .homilies." Then, said Father Cullen, he was in England for a sabbatical year and "returned to find a placid' generation, more open to religious values." But while some young people are involved in prayer groups and various retreat movements,

he noted, others are absorbed in the struggle to get into "good" colleges, angry over the shrinking \ job market or just bored, apathetic and almost impossible to reach with the message of God. "In general," he said, "young people find it hard to talk about themselves, even to each other and there is much emotional isolationism.. "Many youngsters don't confront the normal crises of adolescence until they're in college," he said. For Catholics, he feels, a lot of such immaturity has to do with the lack of the , sacrament of penance. "Confession made you confront yourself and name your sins. You might have hated doing it, but it made you aware of where you were," he said, adding that many youngsters in talking to him make the equivalent of a confession, showing the need they feel for the sac'rament. As an understanding counselor, a man who never says no to a request and a plain delight to be with,Father Cullen will be missed. The true reason why shone clearly through the answer he gave someone who asked him, . concerning his phenomenal memory for names and faces, "How come you know everyone's name?" "You always remember what you love," said Father Bill Cullen.

Beginning Ceremony MILWAUKEE (NC) The church's renewal in liturgy and art brought praise from an internationally known architect, William Conklin of New York. He described the renewal as "a beginning ceremony, a rehearsal for the renewal of art and achitecture."

them~orin~ The Madness of It All This country is presently in an uproar. The gas shortage has tempers enraged; inflation has the housewife frantic; the shrinking dollar has the marketplace in total turmoil. Headlines herald the vast wealth of oil sheiks or the fact that the tourist industry has become another victim of the energy crisis. People grumble at their inability to sun themselves on vacation or because they find it too expensive to take a European holiday. In general, it seeI\ls that everyone has been caught up in the insanity of the moment. Many Americans in this ~ mental situation have somehow forgotten that we as a . nation still' have it pretty good. For example; our ability to solve our energy problems is unquestioned; the 'inflation battle can be won if we are willing to roll up our sleeves and work at it. The potential for bounty is very real; the actuality of solutions is indeed in our grasp. Yet seemingly most Americans are casting a dim eye on the future. Dark thoughts of nightmares to come seem to blight the nation's conscience. Someplace along the line of our national development we have mislaid our ability to meet problems with positive solutions. In fact, the mentality of the negative certainly is the gloomy beacon of the present. Perhaps one reason for this pessimism is that we as a people have had it justa bit too easy. The comforts of unbridled capitalism have crept into all our lives to such an extent that yesterday's luxury is today's necessity. Examples, are only too numerous. The family driveway. that once had two cars has become a parking lot, with every driving member of the family owning his or her personal car. Few homes have less than two teleVision sets and radios and stereos are uncountablt. Schoolchildren have their own telephones. {Country clubs are jammed. Health spas flourish as they remove the fat of the land. Even some who demand welfare support from tax dollars do so not just to be sustained but to be pampere~l.

In short, most Americans have become dependent on a philosophy of life that is geared to gratify every whim of self-indulgence and personal comfort. Only in recent days, because of recent events, have we as a nation begun to realize that life cannot be lived to its fullest unless the, ego is controlled; that national existence of its nature demands self-denial and that common sense demands selfsacrifice. Until this country gives up the philosophy of eat, drink, be merry and charge it, the insanity of a marketplace gone mad will rule every aspect of our social living. People must once more realize that they can control their appetites. As the boat people of Asia die on their open rafts, as dictators continue to bomb villagers, as famine stalks the hungry places of the third world, it is about time that we stop our moaning and groaning and return to a vision of reality that will help us to become a nation whose perception of the democratic way of life is no longer limited by the hedonistic philosophy that is now driving us mad. The litany of luxury must come to an end.

Church Situation in Asia Discussed HONG KONG (NC) - The young people of China "are just not interested in Marxism," a veteran observer told a group of journalists meeting here to launch the Union of Catholic Asian News (UCA). Jesuit Father Laszlo Ladany, editor of China News Analysis, said that China's Communist Party "is essentially a secret society" that has little appeal for the country's youth. The party teaches, he said, that "not every superstition is religion, but all religions are superstition." Mass is permitted in only one place in all of China, he said, and he held out little hope that outside missionaries will be readmitted soon. In this he was supported by Maryknoll Father Robert Astorino, native of New York who studied 'at the Maryknoll seminary once located in Glen Ellyn. Father Astorino, who lives in Hong Kong, shares the direction of UCA News with Jesuit Father' Fred G. Parpan of the Philippines. . "China's doors are unlikely to open to missionaries in the foreseeable future," he said. "Evangelization will not be done by non-Chineses."

Mt. St. Joseph Offers Thanks To Fr. Madore Father Lucien Madore retired last month from the directorship of Notre Dame Cemetery, Fall River, and 19 years of service as chaplain at Mt. St. Joseph School, also in Fall River. He has taken up residence in Florida but he is far from forgotten by the Mt. Joseph communitY, where the Sisters of Charity have prepared' a testimonial in his honor. It reads in part: "We witnessed daily how he distinguished himself by his priestly obedience to the authority of the Church, his sincerity of mind and heart, his deep and constant concern for justice toward all, his modesty in speech and his industrious, humble and simple ways of living. A happy spirit as well as a spirit of selfdenial permeated his whole life. "As a highly qualified spiritual father", Father Madore lovingly guided the children and all who came to him. He tirelessly and faithfully taught the doctrine of Christ, emphasizing obedience to God's commandments, daily prayer, the sanctification of Sunday, the importance of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the regular reception of the Sacraments. "Father Madore helped countless people in endless ways. He shared his gifts and talents on' the spiritual, intellectual, and material levels with anyone in need, especially the lowly and poor. "He planned and developed ways to reach the children and to spread God's message by installing microphones and visual aids and providing the teachers with abundant materials. Our' very walls are a constant reminder of Father Madore's kindness and presence among us. However, our lovely chapel towers high as our benefactor's masterpiece. "He spent hours in the confessional counseling even the children, for everyone was important in his eyes. "That is why we now say with heartfelt gratitude: to Father Madore: • We love you and. pray for God's blessings upon you as you continue to build material and living spiritual temples with the Lord.'''-

Since there is no priest in this area ofthe Congo, the catechist gathers the community on Sundays for prayer and meditation on God's word. Vocations in Mission areas are plentiful- but the cost ofa seminary education, low as it is, is beyond the means ofmany young men aspiring to the priesthood. Could you help one ofthem ... so that he might bring the fullness ofChrist's message to his people? Please?

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (NC) - Auxiliary Bishop Stephen Naidoo of Cape Town deScribes church-state relations in South Africa as "a state of armed neutrality." The Catholic hierarchy "is a steady voice for change and progress, and for long-term solutions," he said in an NC News Service interview.

notification prior to an abortion. It is no wonder the family structure is faltering. Our nation has become its own worst enemy, committing (under the guise of justice), physical, social, moral, and spiritual suicide. Would a secular court really understand th~ situation? No! We must petition ,our congressmen and other public officials to action. If we can't deter. those misled' old judges, then perhaps we can alter the Constitution 'itself. We must otherwise, not only will the unborn suffer; but we ourselves will face an even more uncertain future. In a time of the so-called human rights crusade, our most basic 'freedoms like living and raising our families are being violated, stolen from us - what will be taken next?

By' REY. ANDREW M. GREELEY

,I have resigned myself to the .fact that antagonism to empirical social science will nevex: disappear from the Catholic church. All that the em· pirical social researcher wants to do is to study as objectively and systematically as he can the way things are. I can't figure out why this bothers Catholics, but it does. I have been told that the Catholic church does not need sociology because, it has Scripture, or the infallible teachings of the pope, or divine providence, or God's grace' or, more recently,

Redecorating a room in our house is like trying to paint and paper the Grand Canyon. The walls are high and the 'plaster is crumbling. Nothing matches and the end is never' in sight. I try to get all the kids working ori our redecorating projects. I think it is good for them to feel a sense of pride in helping maintain their home. I also have the faint hope that with so many

The Learning, Church vs. the Teaching Church the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. I have always suggested that these aids, the importance of which should not be minimized, are very good sources for" description of the social reality as it currently is. The unfailing response is to look at me as though I were a heretic. A few weeks ago, Father James Schall, S.J., a political theorist from Georgetown University, ~newed the charge that sociology and faith are incompatible, and said quite bluntly and explicitly that as a sociologist I believe the norm for morality depends on the way things are and not the way things should be. I'm not quite sure how seriously to take Father Schall (though heaven knows his modest contribution to scholarship

is not burdened with empirical amining the behavior of the evidence). "gentes," the "peoples" or "naMy colleagues at NORC and I tions." Now, studying the moral have repeated ad nauseam behavior of the "nations" (the through the years that we do .so-called "jus gentium") is surenot believe that the way things ly an empirical exercise. Yet are is the appropriate norm for neither Father Schall' nor any devising moral principles. Either other Catholic natural law theFather Schall has read our work orist that I know of is willing carefully enough to know that to discuss the teaching of.

The natural law condemnaliberately deceiving his readers, or he has not read our work tion of birth control, for exam· and is writing irresponsibly. In pie, is derived not from a study either case, his reputation for of the behavior of the "gentes" but from the "deposit of faith." intellectual honesty suffers. The church's natural law But it will not do merely to say, as Father Schall does, that theorists have failed to address the proper norm for morality themselves . to the problem of how such a condemnation can is the way things should be. He surely knows, for example, be made in the name of a natthat natural law theorists from ural law when they completely Cicero to Thomas Aquinas have ignore the natural law methodsaid that "third level" moral pre- ology prescribed by the most cepts are to be discovered by ex- distinguished philosopher in

church history. I can· only conclude that writers like Father Schall ignore the dilemma because they believe that no one reads Thomas Aquinas anymore. Furthermore, Father Schall also knows that traditional Catholic theology asserts that a locus theologicus is the "sense of the faithful" or the belief of the "learning church." Indeed, we were all taught in the seminary the ancient Catholic doctrine that the learning church is infallible in its beliefs. How do theologians cope with the disagreement between the teaching church and the learning church, between the magisterium and the sense of the faithful on the issue of birth control? Neither Father Schall nor anyone else that I know of seems willing to address the question, or even to admit that it exists.

brushes traveling, eventually everything that should, will be covered with paint. 'Unfortunately, too many other things get covered. If all the paint on the kids were applied to the woodwork, we wouldn't run out so often. This summer's project was the front hall. It has a big open stairwell with a balcony above. It also has a high wall over that open stairwell that you can't reach even with a long-handled dust mop. The mechanics of reaching that wall were simple. All we had to do was place a big ladder on the stairs, leaning against the wall; put a box on the opposite ledge; and lay a plank between the two.

We set it up beautifully. I walked out to see if I could reach the ceiling. It was fine going out, until I looked down. It was obvious I didn't have the stomach for aerial work. I drafted my teenage son for' that part of the job. He pranced around like a squirrel in a tree. Just watching him, I felt sick. He'd call, "Hey, Mom. Watch how the ladder sways when I bounce on the plank!" . "Just watch what you're doing. Get done. And get down before you fall!" While he was swinging in the breeze, the others got to work on more solid ground. When they started to remove wallpaper, there was gooey, wet slop dripping from everything, parti-

cularly the kids working below the ones up on the ladders. When' the preparation was finally finished, enthusiasm doubled. They all love to paint. As I began crawling around on the floor, I realized that my knees were much older than the rest of me. ,But somehow we got paint over the miles of woodwork. Now all we had to do was wallpaper.. It kept falling off the wall and wrapping around heads. Everytime I tried to straighten a strip, it would spin down with the accuracy of a· boa constrictor. / But at last it got done. Now for the finishing touches. In the high wall over our stairs is a stained glass window where. we

have a statue of the Immaculate Conception I inherited from my grandmother. I was. giving it a scrubbing when one of the kids knocked on the bathroom door and yelled, "What're you doing?" "I'm giving the Blessed Mother a. bath." "You're what . . . Oh, never mind, no one would believe it anyway." The following Sunday, our little daughter greeted our pastor after Mass. She gave him a blow by blow description of the whole job. "And we' hung pictures yesterday, and put down the carpet and everything . . . and it's· beautiful." That sense of pride was there. The job was worth it!

Roles of Influence, Intervention By JIM CASTELLI

Should the United States have tried to prop up the Shah of Iran and avoid revolution in his country? Should the United States be planning a take-over of Middle Eastern oil fields? Should the United States have tried' to save the government of President Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua, or should it have done more to force him out? These are questions being

asked in Washington as the Congress, the administration and others carry on an often murky debate abqut the U.S. role in other nations' internal affairs. The Nicaraguan situation is a, case in point. Nicaraguan President Anastasio Somoza's supporters in Ameri~a say that 'President Carter's human rights policy undermined Somoza, whom they see as an ally against the communists. Yet others, such as Bishop Thomas Kelly, general secretary of the U.S. Catholic Conference, reject direct U.S. intervention in Nicaragua but want the United States to break off relations with Somoza and pressure him to resign.

Catholic social teaching on foreign affairs helps put this position in perspective. In congressional testimony in Jan. 1976, Archbishop Peter Gerety of Newark said church teaching holds that nations may and' should criticize human rights violations in other nations and should use their- influence to stop' those violations. "When the internal conduct of a nation with whom the United States has insignificant association becomes blatantly and seriously restrictive of human rights," he said', "the moral integrity of the United States is challenged." But Catholic leaders oppose U.S. intervention in Nicaragua

Human Rights

for two 'main reasons accord· ing to Franciscan Father Joseph Nangle, political adviser in the USCC office of international justice and peace. First, he said, Nicaragua's people have a right to solve their problem by themselves. Second, he said, the long U.S. influence in Nicaragua suggests that unilateral U.S. intervention would be directed toward American interests.

efforts to overthrow Somoza. More recently, ,Father Nangle said, :Archbishop Miguel Obando Bravo of Managua - sounding desperate in a telephone conversation punctuated by gunfire in the background - asked' the USCC to provide aid for refugees and to urge the, U.S. gpvernment to make Somoza stop bombing civilian areas. The USCC has responded on aid but did nothing on the other request Father Nangle said, But Father Nangle points out partly because it is thought that that there are two different such a U.S. effort would have types of pressure for U.S. inter- had no impact on Somoza.

Obsession With Abortion

The Joyous Book "The word joy is found 164 times in a concordance of the Bible, and the word rejoice 191 times. Truly the Bible is a book of joy- and gladness because it is a record of God's relationships with man." Kirby Page

PARISIDONERS WILL HONOR Father George Saad, pastor of Our Lady of Purgatory Church, on the' occasion of his 25 years as pastor of the New Bedford Maronite rite parish. Msgr. Luiz G. Mendonca, vicar general, will be homilist at a Mass of thanksgiving at. 10 a.m. Sunday, at which Father Saad will be the principal celebrant. A reception will follow at 1:30 at White's restaurant, North Westport. , Among guest!; of honor will be Bishop Francis Zayek of the United States diocese of St. Maron and Archbishop Joseph Khoury of the diocese of Tyre, Sidon and the Holy Land. Cochairmen of arrangements are Atty. George 'Thomas and Professor Anthony John.

Continued from Page One a constitutional right ,to seek an abortion," the court said. 'It said that while "deference' to parents may be permissable with respect to other choices facing a minor," no third party should be given "an absolute, and possibly arbitrary, veto over the decision of the physician and his patient to terminate the patient's pregnancy." The Supreme Court said many parents would obstruct the rights of their daughters to seek court permission for an abortion under provisions of the Massachusetts statute. "Many parents hold strong views on the subject of abortion, and young pregnant minors, especially those living at home, are particularly vulnerable to their parents' efforts to obstruct both an abortion and their access to a court," the Supreme Court said. While the decision to overturn the Massachusetts law had an eight-vote majority, no five justices could completely agree on why the law should be struck down. Four justices Lewis F. Powell Jr.; Warren E. Burger, Potter Stewart and William H. Rehnquist joined in the court's plurality opinion ruling that judges should be able #to veto a minor's abortion request i,f the pregnant girl is not mature enough and cannot prove the abortion would serve her best interests. BuCfour others, led by Justice John Paul Stevens, said 'the Massachusetts lav.; should be held unconstitutional because there should be no third-party veto of any abortion ,decision, no matter what the maturity of the minor involved. Justice White's dissent said he thought it "inconceivable" that the right to an abortion was so overwhelming that it forbids at least some notice to parents. Commenting on the decision,

Katherine P. Healy, director of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, declared it was "one more legal' hoax designed to bring about acceptance of abortion as the status quo by means of raw judicial power. "Parents have been deprived of their right to due process or equal protection of the law when it comes to caring about their minor daughters who may face this difficult problem. The custody of their daughters has been

given to the abortionists. "Freedom of choice is a farce when information explaining the immediate and long-term medical complications of abortion are concealed from women. We call upon the Massachusetts legislature to act as soon as possible to stop this exploitation of .women by enactment of a law which would require that informed consent be given by all wom!!n before they submit to an abortion."

World Synod Continued from Page One U.S. bishops have been asked to comment on the document by mid-October. Their responses will be compiled in a single paper to be sent to the Vatican for use in preparing the actual synod working materials. The synod, an advisory body to the pope which consists of representatives of the world's bishops along with other selected individuals, was established in 1965 by Pope Paul' VI. It meets in general assembly every three years. Previous synod topics have included priestly ministry, world justice, evangelization and religious education. The preliminary document includes:

- A study of "the actual situation of the family" in the church and in the contemporary world. - Basic doctrinal background on the subject. Practical considerations concerning the mission and function of the Christian family. These include its duties with regard to educating children, transmitting the faith, preserving spiritual values, and promoting and anima~ing life in society at large.

Secret Conversation "Mental prayer is nothing else . . but being on terms of' friendship with God, frequently conversing in secret with him." - St. Teresa of Avila.

O~ Co.,

Refugees Continued from Page One Jews who couldn't find an open port during World War II. McCarthy quoted acounts of conferences held to discuss the resettlement of refugees after the Nazi invasion and the quotas applied to Jews fleeing Germany. "It's just like now - meetings, conferences. People are dying," he said. The American Jewish Committee called a decision to hold a United Nations international meeting on refugees "a welcome beginning, but only a beginning." The committee said that so far the response of the world community to the tragedy has been "so insufficient and ineffective as to border on the barbarous." The Vatican daily, L'Osservatore Romano, has asked participants in the U.N. meeting to "take the declarations of solidarity as a matter of course and instead apply themselves to finding ways of international collaboration." ' In the United States the State Department met with heads of various religious and service agencies to find ways to bring the increased number of refugees to this country. The U.S. refugee quota has been recently doubled' from 7,000 to 14,000 a month. McCarthy of the usec suggested using ships to ,bring refugees to the United States. A staff member of Ambassador~at-large Dick Clark called the plan inefficient. Paul Cushing said the United States will charter more airplanes to handle the increased' flow. "I don't care how they do it. If they can fly them out, God bless them," McCarthy said. "I'm not an expert on the mechanics but we have moved people by ship and by plane before. Now we just have to get them over here. We have homes and jobs for them here. Over there .they're dirty, they have no clothes, no food." McCarthy emphasized that while governments, talk about the refugees, thousands drown or starve. His solution to the red tape is simple. "We'll take them," he said. The usec Migration and Service Office has taken over 120,000 refugees since 1975 and McCarthy said the organization, through the efforts of U.S. Catholics, can resettle anyone who needs help.

HOLY FATHER GREETS BISHOP CRONIN DURING DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE

The Mystery of the Heart of Jesus During the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Rome, participants braved steady rain to attend a general audience in St. Peter's Square, FoUowing are excerpts from the Holy Father's remarks on that occasion: It is well-known that the' month of June is dedicated particularly to the Divine Heart, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We express to it our love and our adoration by means of the litany which in the single invocations speaks with particular depth of its theological contents. I wish, therefore, at least briefly, to stop together with you before this Heart, which the Church, as a community of human hearts, addresses. I wish, at least briefly, to speak of this mystery, such a human one, in which God revealed himself with such simplicity and, at the same time depth and strength. Today let the texts of the Friday liturgy spea~ for us, beginning with the reading of the Gospel according to John. The Evangelist reports a fact with the precision of an eye witness. "Since it was the day of Preparation, in order to prevent the ,bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their " legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away'- So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had - been crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood . and water." (In 19:31-34.) I. Not a word about his heart. The Evangelist speaks only of the piercing of his side with a

spear, and the coming out of blood and water. The language of the description is almost medical, anatomical. The soldier's spear certainly penetrated the heart, to make sure that the Condemned Man. was already dead. This heart - this human heart - has stopped working. Jesus has ceased to live. At the same time, however, this anatomical opening of Christ's heart after his death - in spite of all the historical "severity" of the text - drives us to think also at the metaphoricill level. The heart is not just an organ that conditions the biological vitality of man. The heart is a symbol.· It speaks of the whole inner man. It speaks of the spiritual interior of man. And tradition at once re-read this meaning of John's description. In a certain senSe, moreover, the Evangelist himself' gave an inducement to do so when, referring to the attestation of the eye witness that was he himself, he referred, at the same time, to this sentence of Holy Scripture: "They shall look on him whom they have pierced." (In 19:37; Zc 12:10.)

-So, actually, does the Church look; so does humanity look. And 10, in the One pierced by the soldier's spear all the generations of Christians have learned and learn to read the mystery of the Heart of the Crucified Man who was and is the Son of God. Different is the measure of the knowledge that many disciples, men and women, of the Heart of Christ have acquired of this mystery in the course of the centuries. One of the leading figures in this field was certainly Paul of Tarsus, who, from being a persecutor, was converted and became an Apostle. He, too,

speaks to us in the -Friday liturgy with the words of the Letter to the ·Ephesians. He speaks as a man who has received a great grace, since it was granted to him "to preach to the ~ntiles the . unsearchable . ricl~~s of Christ, and to make ail men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things" (Eph 3:8-9). Those "riches of Christ" and at the same time 'that "eternal plan of salvation" of God are addressed by the Holy Spirit to the "inner man," that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith" (Eph 3:16-17). And when Christ, with the strength of the Holy Spirit, dwells through faith in our human hearts, then we will be able "to comprehend" with our human spirit (that is, precisely with this heart") "what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge . . . " (Eph 3.18-19). For such knowledge acquired with the heart, with every human heart, the Divine Heart of the One who was· condemned and crucified on Calvary was opened at the end of his earthly life. Different is the measure of this knowledge on the part of human hearts. Before the power of Paul's words, let each of us question himself on the measure of his own heart. " . . . (we shall) reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts,' and he knows every thing." (1 Jn 3:1920.) The Heart of the God-Man does not judge human hearts. The Heart calls. The Heart "invites." That was the purpose for which it was opened with the soldier's spear.

I C. S. Lewis

II Saying Goodbye

By Father Jerry Fuller

By Father Joseph Champlin

Clive Staples Lewis would have passed on as an obscure Cambridge professor were it not for his religious writings. One of his most famous books is "The Screwtape Letters," an imaginativeaccount of an older devil's letters to his nephew on the psychology of winning souls for hell. C. S. Lewis is gaining new readers because of Charles Colson's mention of "Mere Christianity," and its effect on Colson's becoming a Christian. "Mere Christianity" is Lewis' attempt to trace logically the thinking of a see~er of truth from agnosticism to belief. Moderns who find themselves un· sympathetic toward, established Christianity, _ yet yearning for God, find a responsive chord in Lewis' unflinching honesty. With scalpel-like clarity he takes his reader from a consideration of the reasonable bases for positing the existence of God, through the more familiar practices and virtues of Christianity, right into consideration of the Trinity itself. Another Lewis book that appeals to many is "A Grief Observed," almost a diary of Lewis' feelings on the occasion of his wife's death. By Father John J. Castelot Lewis was a bachelor most of his 61 years, getting married One of the most familiar only toward the end of his life, paintings in Christian art is that to a divorced woman, his equal of Jesus surrounded by little in honesty and intellectual children, laying his hands on sharpness. When Joy died, Lewis them in blessing. The picture is first printed "A Grief Observed" based on a scene in all three under - the pseudonym N.

Jesus and the Children.

Children and the Kingdom

One of those questions may have concerned the place of children in -the Christian community. Should they be fOl1)lally admitted into the group by a rite of initiation? After all, it was an adult community, made up of people who had heard. the good news, had accepted it with mature faith and' commitment, and had been joined to the local church. Inevitably, the question of children would have arisen. They may have found· the answer in this story" especially' in the phrase: "Do not hinder them."

The Greek verb used here turns up elsewhere in the New Testament in texts dealing with baptism (Acts 8,36; 10,47; 11,17; Matthew 4, 13-}4) and in early church literature treating the same subject. We may have here a reflection of the ritual question: "What is to hinder this candidate from being baptized? As far as children were concerned, the people of New Testament times possibly found the answer, in this story: "Do not hinder them. Let them, too, enTurn to Page Thirteen

By' Janaan Manternach On day Jesus and his disciples were sitting by the roadside resting. People from the nearby town noticed them. A small crowd came out to see Jesus. They brought their children. Since Jesus was admired as a rabbi, a religious teacher and leader, it was natural for these parents to want him to bless their children. But the disciples were annoyed. They felt Jesus - and themselves - deserved some peace and quiet. They especially did not want Jesus bothered by a lot of small children. So Jesus' friends told. the parents to let Jesus alone. "Can't

you see he is tired," they scolded. "He shouldn't be bothered, at a time like this." The parents were disappointed and hurt. Jesus noticed what was going on. He heard the disciples' harsh words and became very upset. "Let the children come to me," he said angrily. "Don't try to keep them away from me." His friends felt bad. They were just trying to see that Jesus got some needed rest. They didn't seem to know how much He loved children. They stepped back and let the parents take their children to him. The children who were old enough to walk ran to Jesus. Turn. to Page Thirteen

After nearly eight years as pastor at Holy Family Parish in Futon, N.Y., I recently had to say goodby. The departure was painful, even though my new position offers t!'te opportunity to accomplish good' for ,others in the diocese. As I worked through the clos, ing up anl\. moving out stages, it seemed I went through a sort of death. IImmediately afterwards, during vacation, I recognized how my sadness and grief were parallel to the sadness and grief which accompanies a death. Those 10 days of rest provided healing, the kind of gradual therapy any mourner requires after a deeply felt loss. Many readers are familiar with Dr. Kubler-Ross's stages of dying, the states of mind which a critically ill person often experiences. They include denial of death's imminent possibility, anger, bargaining with the Lord for a postponement, sadness over impending loss and peaceful acceptance of this reality. Some of these sentiments crept into my life during the days of departing. It appears that my period of pain not only parallels the death experience, but other similar events ~n peoples' lives of breaking away, leaving behind and losing something cherished. The breakup of a marriage, move to a new city or new job, loss of a friend are examples. So I offer these reflections on my farewell to the parish since they have universal application. · .. "We reluctantly come to grips with the need or the reality of a break with the comfortable past or present." The notion that a change may be good for us or for others can be a difficult pill to swallow. We like to think of ourselves as ·indispensable and working at maximum efficiency. Time to move on sums it up, but accepting and acting out that conclusion is a more difficult. · .. "Indecision and inbetweenness are perhaps two of the greatest causes for tension and misery in life," No one relishes the turmoil 'involved with making a major decision· about our lives. More over, moving away from the familiar entails a certain rootlessness. Until we feel settled, our inner selves remain anxious and restless. . . . Taking the responsibility for our own lives is highly desirable but rather frightening," When I decide on my own, I must accept the responsibility. Looking for others to make the decision often is a running away from facing the issues. · . . "The pain of loss directly Turn to Page Thirteen

But even if they did not see this application, they could hardly have missed the implication of the words: "It is to just such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. I assure you that whoever does not accept the reign of God like a little child shall not take part in it." The implications were far from childish or sentimental. They were a demanding call to total dependence on the Father. In Jesus' day especially, a child had no "right" to anything, strictly speaking. He was completely dependent on the love and generosity of others. This heroic abandonment of self-reliance is what Jesus is asking of those who would have a share in the reign. This is why

For Children Continued from Page Twelve They liked him very much and they could feel he liked them, too. The mothers and fathers held out the smaller babies to Jesus. Jesus took the children into his arms, one after the other. He hugged them and talked with them.. He placed his hands on the head of each child and asked God to give him or her health, happiness and a long life. Still holding one of the babies, Jesus turned again to his disciples. Loudly enough for the parents to hear, he said, "God's kingdom belongs to people who are like these children. Whoever does not accept God's love like a' little' child, shall not share in it." The disciples remembered that day for a very long time. They slowly realized what Jes~!! meant. He was telling them to trust God the way a child trusts its father and mother. They could not earn God's love. They could just accept it with thanksgiving, the way a child accepts love from its father or mother.

c. S. Lewis

Continued from Page Twelve me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand." At the end of the book he seems to have reached some peace through his agonizing. His wife makes a promise that reminds us of some of the "life after death experiences" we read of today: "Once very near the end I said, "If you can - if it is allowed - come to me when I too am on my death bed,' 'Allowed!' she said. 'Heaven would have a job to hold me; and as for hell, I'd break it into bits,' " He ends: "How wicked it would be, if we could, to call the dead back! She said not to me but to the chaplain, 'I am· at peace with God,' She smiled, but not at me," Without "A Grief Observed," we would have admired Lewis as a master logician and defender of the faith, with it, we know him as one of us.

the child is the model of one who would enter the kingdom. He knows he has earned nothing; he accepts what is offered with simple gratitude. Rather striking is the fact that this story is followed by that of the rich young .man who asks Jesus what he must "do" to share in everlasting life. The answer is that he must "do" nothing; on the contrary, he must relinquish the grounds of his self-reliance and "be" like a little child: stripped, helpless, dependent, trusting.

Saying Goodbye Continued from Page Twelve relates to the intensity of our love for the person(s) lost." An easy wily to avoid tears and heartache is to avoid loving. But that means a disastrous, joyless, sterile life. Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. "Feelings of sadness and grief are like waves in the ocean which rise and fall, unevenly and unexpectedly." A word spoken, a face, a memory may cause my throat to tighten, tears to stream down my face, or a surge of sadness to fill my being. Time heals much of this. Intervals of serenity become longer and the waves of grief less intense. "Things will never be the same," We say, "Keep in touch." And we do. But in most instances neither we nor they nor our relationship remain the same. But the pain of our loss is eased by the love, goodness,' and opportunity in a new situation, if we but open ourselves to the possibilities.

But with all this it would be odd to ignore the most powerful and 'obvious factor of all mass media. In the last decade young people have spent on average, more than 25 hours a week listening at home to total strangers who are contemptuous of, if not hostile to, their parents' ideals. If you think television and movies are neutral or indifferent, you haven't ,been listening recently.

With this in mind we offer you a short review of what is regularly found in most current television shows. We remind you: this is a service for parents who wish to judge a program. The judgment is the parents'. We are not here concerned with adult viewing habits. But we make two observations: adult dispositions are affected by viewing habits more than many think; and children who know that their parents watch vulgar programs are bound to be demoralized.

And there is an even more powerful influence, on millions of American youngsters' values. Rock heroes and rock lyrics are very frequently obscene and bitterly anti-Christian. What you hear (and likely don't understand) on radio and television is bad enough; what your child sees at a rock concert and listens to on recordings at home is often incredibly foul and vicious. Yet millions of parents, in all innocence, are pleased' to see their earphoned 12-year old enjoying music at an early age. Consider just the titles of some recent best sellers. "Please Go All the Way," "Tonight's the Night," "Lay Lady Lay" and "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"all are immoral: "Only the Good Die Young" ridicules Christian morality; "Macho Man," "YMCA" and "Its Great to' be Gay" celebrate homosexuality. "Love to Love You baby" stimulates sexual activity. These songs bathe youngsters' minds in obscenity. How can they not be affected?

New Films "In "Moonraker" (United Artists) - number 11 for '''007'' James Bond takes a giant leap, without a parachute, to catch the audience's attention even before the opening credits identify the familiar Roger Moore (Bond) and Richard Kiel (Jaws). Moore, in his classy manner, keeps one jump ahead of crises, in unruffled control whether dueling with a kendo-stick wielder or wrestling a boa constrictor. Bond is mandated to locate a hijacked space shuttle ripped off en route to England. Drax, Mr. Bad .Guy 1979, is the aerospace genius (Michael Lonsdale) whose grandiose scheme embodies a super race to be spanned in space, to repeople the earth. Part of his plan includes wiping out all of the earth's present inhabitants with germ-laden missiles'. Despite a detached treatment of sex and a stylization of violence parents should know that both elements are present in the "001" set piece. PG, A3

"Breaking Away" (fox): The maturing of four late-adolescent Hoosier boys gives Peter Yates a chance to illustrate how challenges separate men from boys. Some appealing acting by Dennis Christopher (Dave) and his parents (Paul Dooley and Barbara Barrie) and the excitement of "The Little 500" bike race on the Indiana University campus recommend this first effort by scriptwriter Steve Tesich. The resolution of the conflict between native stonecutters and the university students, however, is too facile. PG, A2' "Bloodline" (paramount): Audrey Hepburn stars as a woman who inherits a vast business empire, then is stalked by a killer in this adaptation of the best seller of ,the same title. A plodding, unsuccessful thriller, the film reeks of sexual exploitation, with several kinky scenes that should prove especially revolting to feminists. R,C "The Frisco Kid" (Warners): Gene Wilder is a Polish rabbi who joins forces with an affable outlaw (Harrison Ford) while getting to San Francisco in Gold Rush days. The comic misadventures are not as funny as they should be, due to poor direction, and the result is mediocre entertainment. Some violence and rough language make this adult fare. PG, A3 "The Main Event" (Warners): High-pressure perfume dealer (Barbara Streisand) is ripped off

by her accountant, left only with the "ownership" of a phony prizefighter (Ryan O'Neal). In an attempt to recoup her finances, Streisand forces O'Neal to train and fight. Two fiascos later she is richer only by "owning" 0' Neal's love. Sexist and vulgar. this film is a loser. Only Patti 'D'Arbanville, O'Neal's uncouth girl friend, provides a few light moments.

Al Tuesday, July 17, 9-11 p.m. (CBS) "Don't Look Now" (1974) - An English couple Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie - distraught about the drowning of their child, attempt to regain their emotional balance as he helps restore a crumbling church in Venice. Sutherland's "gift" of second sight is pivotal to both the dead little girl and the deteriorating marriage in this psychic potboiler. The theatrical version of this film was objectionable :because of an extended scene of explicit love-making. B Wednesday, July 18, 8-11 p.m. (NBC) "Little Big Man" (1970) - Dustin Hoffman, as sole survivor of Custer's Last Stand, relives the story of his life and times on the frontier. Although not tightly conceived or executed "Little Big Man" is ,. a major treatment of the ,Old West and its conflicts. A3 Friday, July 20, 9-11 p.m. (ABC) - "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" (1975) - Peter Proud (Michael Sarrazin) dreams of his own murder in a previous life and falls in love with the woman (Jennifer O'Neill) who was his daughter in that life. Nudity and' explicit sex scenes make this film unacceptable. COn Radio "Guideline" (NBC) presents a new series of programs on the needs of handicapped people. The guest will be Franciscan Brother Joseph Moloney, executive director of the National Aposto-late with Mentally Retarded Persons. (check local listings for time.)

Ecumenism Requires Dedication to Truth 'LONDON (NC) - The road to Christian unity requires "total dedication to the relentless pursuit of God's truth," said Cardinal George Basil Hume· of Westminster in the first address ever given to the United Reformed Church 'by a cardinal. Cardinal Hume addressed the

spring general assembly of the URC, which unites English Presbyterians . and Congregationalists. The prelate praised formation of the URC as a' step toward full organic unity in faith and worship. Common baptism is

the starting point of URC unity, he added. "The realization by the baptized that they have this baptism in common means they recognize or should recognize that the logical outcome must be full organic unity in faith and worship," said the cardinal.
