Fun in ·the Vatican sun
VATICAN CITY (NC) - Fun in the summer sun for many Vatican visitors means attending a Wednesday general audience with Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square. Although there was an unforgettable moment of horror in May, 1981, when an' attempt was made on the pope's 'life, for the most part the out door audiences are a joyous high point in the lives of the visitors

The Fall River public Ubrary was closed until noon last Fri day to enable staff members to attend the funeral of Sister Claire Jusseaume, S'5J, 65, a :library as sistant for the past 11 years. Father Lucien Jusseaume, chaplain at Our Lady's Haven, Fairhaven, was principal concele brant and homilist for his sis ter's Mass at Blessed Sacrament Cburch, Fall River. Many other priests of the diocese were also concelebrants. Sister Claire was a Fall River native, the daughter of Mrs. Clarienee (Gregoire) Jusseaume of Fall River and the late Octive Jusseaume. Entering the Sisters of . St. Joseph at age 15, she served 35 years as a teacher in Swansea, New Bedford and Fall River parochial schools. Beginning a second career in 1973, she joined the library staff and in 1981 earned a master's degree in library science at the University of Rhode Island. She also held a bachelor's degree from Rivier College, Nashua, NH, and a master's degree, in education from the College of St. Rose, Albany, NY. As well as her mother and Father Jusseaume, she is sur vived by another brother, Leo Jusseal,Ulle of Geneva, Switzer land; two sisters, Mrs. Anita Stebenne of Fall River and Sis ter Lucie, RJM, of Woonsocket; an dseveral nieces and nephews. Interment was in Notre Dame Cemetery, Fall River .
Palliums show church unity VATICAN CITY (NC) - Arch Ibishop Bernard Law of Boston was one of three Americans among 11 new archbishops who received their palliums, the white wool bands symbolizing the authority they share with the pontiff, from Pope John Paul , II in a historic ceremony June 29. The others were Archbishops John O'Connor of New York and Daniel Kucera of Dubuque, Iowa. Vatican officials said it was the first time :in modem church history a pope has personally conferred ,the palliums. Previous ly the bands were blessed by the pope and conferred at a later time by a cardinal reprsenting him. The new archbishops will wear the palliums when they preside at' formal church ceremonies in their ecclesiast-ical provinces. "The pa11ium doesn't add any thing to the position of the arch bishop," Archbishop Law ex plained, "but- to me what's im portant is the way it's being con veyed, the whole complex of symbolism - receiving it from the pope himself, as a vislJble sign of the church's unity."

Vatican scores priests' expulsion Continued from page one Church on the outskirts of ,the capital to the seminary where Father Pena is confined. The Sandinista government on J'ijne ,20 showed videotapes to news' correspondents of what it said are conversations between Father Pena and anti-govern ment rebels. The tapes also pur portedly show the priest view ing .explosive devices. Archbishop Obando Bravo has said the tapes are fabrications. "This was a pilgrimage of solidarity and support for Father Pena, but there are people who ,try to twist our intentions," Arc1:lbishop Obando Bravo was q~oted as saying in a homily delivered on the seminary 'grounds where the priest is con· fined. ~It certainly is not a polio tical march."
Communicator . WASHINGTON (NC) - Rus sell Shaw, secretary for public affairs at the National Confer ence of Catholic Bishops-U.S. Catholic Conference, has been named to the Pontifical Com mission for Social Communica· tions. The commISSIon, meeting yearly, coordinates church actio vities in print, broadcasting, films and other means of mass communication. Its president is Archbishop John P. Foley, for mer editor of the Philadelphia Catholic Standard and Times. Shaw has been NCCB-USCC public affairs secretary since 1975. He was previously director of public information at the Na tional Catholic Educational Association and worked at The Catholic Standard of Washing ton, D.C., and at NC News. He cOQrQinated media arrange· ments for the 1979 papal trip to the United States.
The confrontation over Father Pena is the latest conflict in church-state relations in Nica ragua. Last April in a pastoral letter, the Nicaraguan bishops called on the government to negotiate with anti-Sandinista rebels.
Missioners pledge to develop town CAPE TOWN, South Africa (NC) - A $25 million pledge by the Mariannhill Missionaries has played a key, role in the South African government's de· cision not to relocate 12,000 blacks. The government has ac cepted an offer by the Mariann hill Fathers to spend $25 mil lion on developing the town of St. Wendolin's where the blacks live. There was singing and dancing
in the streets of St. Wendolin's
when the news was heard, said Father John Bouma, provincial superior of the Mariannhill Fathers, based in the South Afri· can province of Natal. The new plan reverses a decision of 18 years ago to clear the area for occupation by Asians.

"If this does not happen, there will ibe no chance for agreement, and our people, especially the poorest among them, will con tinue suffering and dying," the bishops said. The Nicaraguan government has refused to negotiate with the U.S.-supported "contra" (coun ter-revolutionary) rebels. "It is not always honest to justify internal' aggressions and violence on aggressions from outsii:le," the bishops said. Tensions between the church and 'government supporters turned violent on June 21 when an estimated 1,000 proSandin 'ista demonstrators stormed into a church in the capital and broke up an evening Mass. That followed the govern ment's June 20 press conference in which Father Pena and others were accused of plotting to over throw the Sandinista ll"Ule.

themoorin~ Black Catholics in Today's Church.
\
-Very few members of this diocese realize that there are over a million black Catholics in the United States, com prising about four percent of the total black populatipn and two· percent of the Catholic population. Until recent times, little was heard from the black community and little attention paid to the role of blacks in the life. of the church. Fortunately, this is beginning to change. Several blacks have been appOinted to t?e hierarchy in major dioceses and archdioceses. More hIS torical data concerning the black contribution to the church are being published. . . In short, growing. awareness of· the U.S. black com munity has led to increased appreciation -of its Catholic members~ But much remains to be accomplished. . " The firSt and most serious area of concern must be that of black vocations. In the black community the role of the preacher is essential. Jesse Jackson, for instance, is building on a tradition' integral to the black American experience. Many feel that because of the deep, 'even subconscious, emotional ties of many black Christians with the person of the preacher, the subliminal impact of uniting his role with that of the concept of presiding is incalculable. During. the 19th century, to the discredit of American Catholicism, blacks were not generally welcome in diocesan or regional seminaries. Because of the negative attitudes prevalent in all aspects of American lif~ until recent times, and even today far from uncommon, there are currently few black priests. Fortunately, at least in this area, things have changed. It is now unlikely that any bishop or seminary would fail i to welcome black candidates. But although. the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus and the National Black Seminarians' Association sponsor support and formation programs for black 'seminarians, their number is still small. Realistically, for the foreseeable future, most clergy and religious serving black Catholics will be white. Lay ministry programs, however, are expected to en courage black Catholic lay people to supply the black witness.so essential to the church. But what has been planted must be nurtured. ,Both locally and nationally, we must significantly increase our support of the black lay witness. Efforts to help middle class white Catholics understand the difficulties of their black sisters and brothers in the U.S. church should assume priority. Eradication of racism should not be considered a mere option. It is an imperative. Diocesan initiatives on behalf of black Catholics should be established wherever they are needed. Among their goals should be the placement of qualified black Catholic lay people in responsible church positions. Training programs, creative use of the media, and appreciation of black culture are among the avenues that should be explored in the effort to help black Catholics feel comfortable in a church where they are a minority. It is long past time for their fellow church members to appreciate their history of suffering and their present witness. "

It's lls·er friendly
The first time one of my teenagers said, "You should really get a computer, Mom," I got so nervous I changed the subject and my typewriter ribbon. I am one of those the computer folk refer to as a tech nophobiac - an adult with an extraordinary fear of technology. When, a few years ago, I fi nally broke down and got a mi crowave oven I wanted to buy a model with a dial and three speeds - low, high and thaw. Instead, I took my sons along and ended up with one whose face resembles the cockpit of a plane. While I've reached the point that I couldn't live without it and it does everything but windows, I still punch low, high and thaw. The little meat probe has never been out of its plastic packaging. But in January I reluctantly began my journey into the com puter world. Faced with a Sep tember deadline on a new book and knowing that a writer's pro ductivity increases by 50 per cent with a word processor (a word ·that means writing by com puter), I began to ·learn every thing I could on computers. With my husband, I read, shop ped, talked to friends who had word processors and, most of all, listened - really listened to my teenagers - who are today's experts in this field. I was incredibly ignorant and, suspecti~g there might be others out ther~ like me, perhaps I can offer a little information on a middle-age housewife ·level to help all~ate some fears. The first barrier is terminol-
ogy. There's an intimidating language tossed around by com puter people that includes words like logging, files, software, hardware, DOS, dual disks and terminals. Don't let it scare you. There are harder words in rec ipes. I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't even know the dif ference between a computer and a program. I thought I would simply sit down at a computer and type faster than on my trusty Adler. For other domestic technopho biaes, I will try to put it in terms we can understand - the sewing machine. The computer itself is the sewing machine. It doesn't do anything without fab ric, which is the program. Just as we use a variety of fabrics and patterns, there are programs for writing, accounting and play ing games. These programs are called software while the sewing machine scissors and iron would be considered our hardware.

FATHER JOHN DIETZEN answer as this question is an added burden to my already guilt-ridden conscience. We are prayerfully nooking forward to the tIme when we can have our marriage blessed and receive the sacraments once again. (Massa chusetts) A. The fact that you lived to gether or that you married your present husband out of the church, does not affect the pos sibility of an annulment. An annulment decree is based on an investigation of the status of a marriage from the begin ning, to discover whether an im pediment existed which made a true marriage impossible for those two people. Please talk to a priest and see what might be done. I too hope you will be able to return to the sacraments as quickly as pos sible. Q. Are the banns of marriage announced at all anymore? My niece is to be married soon. The priest said they were not neces sary. She is marrying III maD! who is not CathoUic and I remember hearing that this could make a difference. (Ohio) A. The banns of marriage are announcements of a forthcoming marriage so that anyone aware of impediments to that marriage will make that fact known. Publication of the banns was required under the former Can on Law of tlhe church for mar riages involving two Catholics. Partially because of other inves tigations that normally took place before a mixed marriage, they were not announced if one of the spouses was of another religion, which may be your re collection. Banns have been considered less important for a number of-. years, perhaps because our pop ulation is much more mobile than formerny; people who knew the bride and· groom are likely to be quite spread out. Also, the testimonies of family and friendS required before marriage are more extensive ·than in the past. The present law of the church (since November 1983) does not require Ibanns, b':lt provides that .bishops' conferences of different nations may include them among appropriate inquiries which are to precede marriage (Canon Law No. 1067). Our American bishops do not prescribe them at this time. A

Franco Prinel, a 30-year-old Australian of Italian descent, ,made plans a year earlier when he 1eft his hometown of Ade laide, on a peace pilgrimage to Rome. To draw attention to his cause, Princi, an actor, walked from London to Rome dressed as the "Little Tramp" ,character portrayed by Charlie Chaplin during the silent film era. "I went as Charlie Chaplin to show that even a 'little tramp, even this character without posi tion or power, can do something. My seeing the pope symbolizes the reality even of little people to help change the world," he said after the pope blessed him and heard about his peace walk.

The rest of the year, ,they are held in the papal audience hall, which seats 8,000. Under a summer sun which often tops 85 degrees, people with sophisticated cameras and sound equipment compete for, choice spots with people holding Instamatics and pocket casette recorders to capture the pope's words and image. The pope enterS the square in an open-topped jeep in which he stands to wave at the crowd. The jeep travels slowly and· often stops, allowing the pope to chat with people along the aisles. But. it does not always take the same route, making it impossible to choose ,a spot 'ahead of time with any degree of certainty that -it will put one close to the pope. After the audience talk, the pope descends the small stage set up in front of the square and walks along several rows of seats ~ a section reserved for people with tickets._ People without tickets are seated behind this section. Their opportunity to get close to the pope comes when he enters tl)e square in his jeep. Only during the summer audi ences inthe square are people allowed to attend without tickets.

Mixed reception for Menotti Mass
BALTIMORE ~C) - A new Mass by composer Gian-earlo Menotti received a mixed recep~ tion at the recent closing of the Baltimore Archdiocese's obser-_ vance of the founding of Mary land. Described as a contemporary Gregorian Mass, "Mary's Mass: A Mass for the Contemporary Liturgy," was performed in Baltimore's Basilica of the As sumption. The archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Review, said that aUhough applause was "long arid hard" for the premiere perfor 'mance, one musician in the con gregation caned the Menotti work a "put-on" resembling "something from the 1940s." Menotti had complained about changes in the Mass, criticizing Carole Sorrell, archdio'cesan music consultant. The composer was quoted as saying Ms. Sor rell should be "an air stewardess in· Lufthansa rather than a musi cal director in a church." . "The Catholic Church must 1earn to treat the arts with more respect and understanding, or it wiN lose' us aU," said Menotti. "Fortunately, r wrote this Mass for the glory of God, and I hope
God will receive my modest ef
fort more mercifully than Ms.
Sorrell did." added the composer,
, famous for such operas as "Am
ahl and the Night Visitors,"
"The Medium" and "The Saint of
~leeker Street." Ms. Sorrell said she was in shock from Menotti's pUblic criticism and said he was SloW in turning over, the music for rehearsal. "We· were given the score for the Menotti Mass on May 15," she said Robert Twynham, director of music at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen .in Baltimore, said he di~ not believe Menotti under ~ood "where the church is in music now." "Though he is a world·class composer, I think he's got some thing to learn about religious composing. Menotti's approach to religious va!ues is more from the dramatic point of view," said Twynham. The Mass was commissioned by :the Paul VI Institute for the Arts, -a Washington gallery :which sponsors activities to pro mote the arts. The commission was funded by the Anthony and Anna Louise Crozza Foundation of Hillcrest Heights, Md.

- Genuflection before the Blessed Sacrament "is not a quaint custom we are free to abandon" but a sign of "our complete faith in the presence of Jesus." - Those distributing the eu· charist to the sick and home bound should "maintain a spirit of prayer" while carrying it. "Grocery shopping or a meal must never interrupt us when we are privileged to carry the body and blood of Jesus Christ." - Exceptions to the norms of proper liturgical vestments for Mass may be acceptable in some missionary circumstances or "the extraordinary situation of con· centration camps," but not in the Washington archdiocese. - "The Lord's house is a house of prayer. ... people should either observe a respectful si· lence or speak ,in a low voice so as not ,to interfere with others at prayer." Father Raymond Kemp. arch c'iocesan secretary for parish life and worship, said he did not think the II etters were occasioned by aberrations but reflect deeply felt ,views of the archbishop on the place of the eucharist in Catholic ~ife. ·Father Kemp estimated that about one-fourth of archdiocesan parishes have a regular program of eucharistic adoration. He added that "a number of teen groups have gotten more and more into" starting or partici pating in eucharistic, prayer vigils.

Party and declaring indepen- dence, your best bet is to apply for a real estate tax abatem~nt. But how do you do that? In essence, an abatement is a decrease in your property tax, based upon a showing thalt your property has been assessed either in excess of its fair mar ket value 01' in an amount high er than that. assigned to other comparable properties. Any tax payer, including a tenant who is obligated to pay more than one half of ,the taxes upon the prop erty that he rents, can apply for an abatement. You've got to be careful, 'however, to follow cer tain procedures and timetables, otherwise you're going to miss' the boat.

NEW YORK ~NC) - Twenty- six. Catholic religious orders haveannoun<;ed the sale of their General Electric Co. stock, 49,000 shares, worth an esti mated $2.4 miUion, to protest the company's continued pro duction of nuclear warhead components. Orders represented in Jthe FaU River diocese that took part in the action include the Francis cans of Holy Name Province, N.Y., and the' Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. In addition, the 'Mercy Con solidated Assets Management Program, representing Sisters of 'Mercy, including rthose of the Province of Providence, reaf firmed a 1981 pledge not to purchase stock from GE. MCAMP' criteria prohibit pur chase of stock from GE or other corporations which receive over $200 million in defense con ·tracts in a given fiscal year; or derive five percent or· more of. total sales from weapons pro duction; or engage in nuclear weaponry.

He said some health care facilities view patients as numbers rather than individuals. At the meeting's opening ses-' sion, Jesuit Father Joseph 0'·' Hare, recently named president of Fordham University, spoke on trends in Catholicism and how they will affect the church. "As the church takes shape in tomorrow's society, the greatest test will always be jus~ like back in its early days - to find con tinuity wIth the Gospel," said Father O'Hare. One example of this contin uity is in the healing ministry, he said. Just as Christ hea'led the body and soul of those who came ,to him, so do those in volved in Catholic health care ministry, he said. He also said the church must recognize that technology "is not demonic." ''The challenge of Christianity is to put this technology to good use," he said.

NEW YORK ~C) - Many parents, educators and ~egislators have deplored the lack of quality children's programm:ng on com mericial TV. Public television, however, of 'fers programs for youngsters of every age. Last summer, for in stance, PBS presented "Reading Rainbow." This summer it will be re broadca~t following a premiere week of new shows beginning Monday, July 16. These half-hour programs air three times each weekday: 10:30 and 11 :30 a.m. and 6 p.m. EDT. "Reading Rainbow" helps youngsters develop a liking for reading. Each program centers on one storybook, the illustra tions of which fill the screen while its text is read by a pro fessional narrator. Some books are also reviewe4 by "guest critics" - youngsters telling simply but engagingly why thef liked a particular story. The single most important contribu~ion of the program is that it affords young viewers the opportunity to hear a story read aloud and to listen to the magic of good writing. It is what par ents used to do for their children before TV became the home's main storyteller.
The measure of success for ,the series came in a survey of child ren's 'librarians who credited '''Reading Rainbow" for a 55 per cent increase in the book circu lation last summer. Publishers and booksellers al so reported found enormous in creases in sales of books used on "Reading Rainbow." Twila Liggett, program creator, is hop ing for an even greater response to the series' second season. That's important bec~Use it would help her secure funding for a third season. Ms. Liggett describes the ser ies as preventive rather than a remedial approach to reading but mourns that "I have dis covered that it is a lot easier to get funding. to try to remedy a problem after it has occurred than to prevent it in the first place."

Another difficulty is that karate is actually more lethal than depicted and young sters might seriously injure them selves or others by imitating this film. With these reservations, it is rated A2, PG. ,
Film on TV Saturday, July 14, 8:30-11 p.m. EDT (CBS) - ''The Rose" (1979) - This is a glossy rock tragedy in which Bette Midler plays a flamboyant, whiskey swilling rock star of the late 60s whose personal Ufe is consumed by her frantic and spectacularly successful professional life. It forcefully conveys the virulent effect of a success that alien ates one from all va:lues giving significance to 'life. This is a message, however, that only adult viewers will appreciate. With its obscene language, its

Pope's car OXFORD, MASS. (NC) Stanley M. Kozaczka has had second thoughts about parting with his used 1972 sedan. The German-built four-door Opel has a picture of Mary embossed in white gold in the middle of the steering wheel. Its former owner

Whatever else you watch on television, be sure to see "Eight Minutes to Midnight: A Portrait of Dr. Helen CalcHcott," airing I~rlday, July 13, 10-11 p.m. EDT on.'PBS. Dr. Caldicott is an Australian pediatrician who moved to Bos ton in 1977 to practice at the Harvard Medical School. There she began researching themedi cal consequences of radiation and making other'doctors aware of the noclear issue. To help the public understand the genetic dangers that nuclear waste materials pose for future generations, Rr. Caldicott wrote "Nuclear Madness: What You Can Do." The book was published in 1978, which is where this docu mentary begins as the doctor goes on the talk-show circuit to promote her book. The film closes as she ad dresses a group of physicians in 1980 on the increasing sophisti cation of nuclear weapons which she fears increase the chances ()f an all-out nuclear conflagra tion. . That was in 1980. Since then, the nuclear arms a-ace has es
calated, cruise ~ssiles have been plaoed in Europe and arms talks between the superpowers have broken off. . An .indication of how much the situation has worsened since this documentary was made is .apparent in its title. It refers to the 'doomsday clock used by a group of nuclear physicists to dramatize the closeness of nu clear holocaust. Last December that clock was advanced to three minutes to midnight.
