By Pat McGowan Love serves. Not a bad job description for a life committed to God. If you'd like to see such lives in action, come by the Fall River Community Soup Kitchen at the Diocesan Department of Social Services building. 738 Slade St., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. any Tues day, 'Thursday or Saturday. Not convenient? Try New Bed ford Market Ministries at Pil grim U~ited Church of Christ, 635 Purchase St., at the same hours Monday, Tuesday, Wed nesday and Friday. At each site you'll find a total ly volunteer, totally efficient operation, serving a substantial meal to from 70 to 80 persons each day of operation in Fall River, to from 150 to 170 in New Bedford. Additionally in New Bedford, Market Ministries spon sors an 18-bed shelter which has played to a full house nightly sirce Feb. 11. Both operations are ecumeni; cal and community based, draw ing support from merchants, cor porations·and fraternal organiza tions in their areas, as well as from Protestants, Catholics and Jews. The Fall River kitchen is incorporated in its own name; New Bedford's program is spon

sored by the area Clergy and Religious Association. But in both a Catholic sister has played an important .role. In Fall River the soup kitchen was sparked by Sister Kathleen· Mur phy, OP, coordinator for the Diocesan Deaf Apostolate. Sister Kathleen's cousin, Sister Eileen, RSM, is involved with Provi dence's Amos House soup kit chen. Sister Kathleen, after visiting Amos House, decided that in these hard economic times Fall River needed a similar project. After many discussions and meetings, Fall River had one, going strong since last January. In New Bedford Sister Ros ellen Gallogly, RSM, is the spark plug for the nearly two-year-old Market Ministries. Long active in social welfare programs, she plans menus and orders food for the soup kitchen and coordinates volunteer workers for the over night shelter, many nights super vising it herself if a volunteer is absent. At both kitchens workers ob serve that patronage soars at the end - of the month "when Social Security checks and food stamps have run out." Kitchen operation details, however, vary in the two cities. In Fall River Joseph and May

elta Levasseur are the glue hold ing the operation together, while in New Bedford various churches share responsibility, each sup plying volunteers to cook, serve and clean up one day a month. The Levasseurs, who are Bap tists, say ~heir supervisory role just happened to them. "I'm assistant market. master at the Fall River Farmers' Mar ket," explained Joseph Levass eur, a lean and fit Marine Corps retiree. "When the soup kitchen was in the talking stage, the market master was asked to at tend a meeting. He couldn't go, so I filled in. We got hooked and here we are." Hooked indeed.' Mayetta, 58, and Joseph, 64, are on hand at 8 a.m. each day the kitchen is open. By 8:15 deliveries of don ated foods begin, they say. Un like New Bedford, where most food is bought, the Fall River kitchen depends totally on dona tions. "We ask for nothing but we'll accept anything," summed up Joseph. As in the Gospel parable of the.lollves and fishes, giving has never failed. Mink. .,.eats, pas tries, bread, vegetables arrive in an unending stream, as if peo ple had been awaiting the opTurn to Page Six

PHILADELPHIA(NC) - Call ing himself a roaming Catholic, Sacred Hearts Father Alphonsus W. Mitchell, national director of the Enthronement of the Sacred Heart Movement, already has added more than 30,000 miles to his 1978 Buick this year. The Enthronement movement, . ..~ , sponsored by the Sacred Hearts Fathers, has its headquarters at the community's provincial house in Fairhaven. "The basic devotions to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and the Blessed Mother are coming back;" Father Mitchell said. "People want SI personal rela tionship with Jesus, just like the kind. they learned about in the old catechism. "One of the things we're con cerned about is that Jesus is not real enough," Father Mitchell went on. "That's why we need this personal relationship with him. So many people are just drifting. They need something that will bring them back into the kingdom of God." Father Mitchell, a native of Cleveland, spent more than 30 years as a Sacred Hearts mis sionary in Japan. Returning to the United States in 1980, he was named national director of the Enthronement of the· Sacred Heart Movement following the death of Sacred Hearts Father Francis Larkin, who had headed the program for 35 years. Enthronement of the Sacred Heart consists of setting up a home shrine with a statue or picture of the Sacred Heart on Catholic Relief Services, the a table, shelf, or mantel. Official overseas aid arm of the U.S. devotions include the Eucharist, prayer and penance. bishops, has announced an emer "The movement is program gency program to aid thousands starving in Africa as a result of centered on Christ in the home," Father Mitchell said. ."It's inprolonged drought.

Father Peter N. Graziano, diocesan director of social ser vices, has appealed to members of the diocese to send donations to Catholic Relief Services, USCC; 1011 First Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022. He said that word has been received at CRS headquarters that in northern Ethiopia alone thousands of people are filling the roads begging for food. The drought is described as the worst since 1973, when it is estimated that over 200,000 peo ple starved to death. CRS has already allotted $100,000 to an emergency food fund, said Father Graziano, but much more is needed to purchase and distribute supplies.

FATHER MITCHELL tended to show people how to live with Jesus - offering all the joys, works and sufferings of each day to his Sacred Heart. "When people bring Christ into their home they feel great' appreciation of eucharistic life. It's a matter of combining the church and the home." Though now working mostly with somewhat traditional Cath· olics, Father Mitchell believes he can attract the more progressive, "Christ is for everyone," he said. In the past year, he has criss ~rossed the United States. J;lis longest trip ~ was an 810-mile, 18 hour journey by ,car from the southern tip of Florida to central Louisiana. In each city he visits, Father Mitchell conducts workshops, meets with local members of the movement, directs retreats to the sacred heart.. and plans for the future of the movement with Men of the Sacred Heart, a group which helps prepare leaders and promotes the enthronement.

US-Vatican ties pondered

WASHINGTON (NC) - The U.S. government is considering formal .diplomatic ties between the Vatican and the United States, one of the few nations which does not have such are lationship with the Holy See, ac cording to sources in the State Department and Congress. The White House declined to comment on the issue. A White House joint resolu tion sponsored by Rep. Clement Zablocki (D.Wis.), House For eign Affairs Committee chair man and about' 25 others would repe~l an 1867 ~tatute prohibit ing expenditure of U.s'. funds for a formal U.S. diplomatic re lationship with the Holy See. If approved by Congress, the .bill would clear the way for Presl dent Reagan to act in formalizing ties, a congressional source 'said July 18. The source, a Foreign Affairs Committee staff member who de elined to be Identified, said the resolution is a "legal technical ity" to .let the White House act if it desires to do so. The Reagan administration has given "the impression they are smiling"

favorably at the idea, the source said, adding' that the United States and the Holy See had diplomatic relations from 1848 until passage of the 1867 fund iilg ban. In 1951, President Harry Tru man's attempt to name an am bassador to the Holy See promp ted a national outcry and drew bitter protests from some Pro testant groups\ Truman, who had proposed Gen. Mark Clark as the amb~ssa~or, later wit?drew the nommatlon at Clark s re quest.

Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Recently President Reagan proposed new appomt

ments to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

Those opposed to everything the current administr~tion

espouses immediately began angry denunciation of the

appointments and threatened a bitter fight. ,

Most of those against confirmation. of the ~ew cpm

mission members have two areas of concern. First, they

point out that' some minority members are being replJced

with,.heaven forbid, white males. The other reason for ~on

frontation is that those to be considered for these sensitive

positions do not appreciate the importance of racial qu9tas.

This is reflectedl in their lack of enthusiasm for scnool

busing. . . The fact, however, is that the opposition, formed Ifor

the most part in the liberal branch of the Democratic Party,

is barking up the wrong tree. Before its members rehlly

studied the background of the three appointees, they opebed

their mouths and inserted their feet. . . \

Let's take a honest look at the three people chosen by

the president for the Civil Rights Commission. As c6m

missioner, the 'president proposes John. Bunzel, a wlell

known supporter of the democratic policies of Kennedy and

Humphrey. Bunzel, former president of San Jose State

U~iversity in California, is a longtime civil rights advoc~te.

fessor of law at the Catholic University of America and a

·;former general counsel to the Catholic League for ReligiOUS

and Civil'Rights. .

Last spring, as the coun been an error so they kept in try watched, the drama of a touch and when their daughters' seven, they confirmed the boy called Eland Cramlet by ,were mixup through hospital files. his mother and Jeff Ander son by his father unfolded on TV screen and front pages. He's the seven-year-old boy kidnap ped by his father at age 3Y2 when he was awarded to his mother in a divorce suit. For three years, she didn't know where he was 'because after a visitation his father moved him to Oklahoma where they lived under a new name.

Now comes the difference be tween these parents and those of the kidnapped boy. The gir~s' parents decided that switching the girls at age seven would be too traumatic for them so they agreed to keep the wrong daugh ters but to stay in touch, pre tending that their mothers were their aunts. The girls were told the true story when they were 18.

The father subsequently ap peared on a Donahue show fo cusing on the rights of fathers. The mother sued Donahue and won a $5.9 million settlement for mental angl,lish. Ensuing publicity alerted a Tulsa resident to call authorities and the boy was returned to his mother whom he barely remembered. The father was arrested and released on probation. As long as he doesn't steal the child again, he's free.

The story hit the news in June when the daughters, now mar ried with children of their own, and the parents got together for an extended family reunion. One of the mothers commented to the press about the decision to rear the wrong child, "I was dis tressed at first but now I feel as though I have won another daughter rather than lost:" In this case the parents acted in the best interest of the child ren. In the kidnap case, the feel ings and welfare of the child came second to the needs and feelings of the parents, and there in lies a foundational difference. One can't fault divorcing par ents who love their children so much they want them with them but the question must be asked, "How much do parents really , love a child if they put him through· the trauma of kidnap ping, hiding and name-changing?" Family counselors tell us that children of divorce suffer lea~t when they know their separated parents care enough about them to put aside their own differ ences to behave in the manner most beneficial to the children.

At the same time, a less pub licized situation took place in England. This concerned two mothers who gave birth to daughter~ in 1936 and, due to a hospital error, took the wrong babies home. Because one of the little girls was premature, the mothers felt there may have

SNACK TIME Something fresh grown and a frosty cold drink.

By DOLORES

CURRAN

This is sometimes extremely difficult, requiring great sacrifice on the part of the parents. The temptation is great to use children to get back at a former spouse. But if parents are sin cere in loving their children arid not wanting them to suffer divorce fallout, their needs come first. And this is where the par ents of Eland Cramlet/Jeff An derson failed as parents.

M'artha or Mary? I identify with Mary, sis ter of Martha. When Jesus came to visit them Martha busied herself with the de tails of the hospitality, while Mary seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to him talk. That's me. On the rare occasions when I'm not doing the talking, I like to do the. listening. But I never like to do anything around the house. I leave that to my wife, who plays Martha seven days a week. Excep~ that my Mrs. Polonia as I like to call the bride because she"s part Polish princess, never complains. Martha, complained to Jesus that Mary was leaving her all the heavy lifting. "Lord, are you not concerned that my sister has left, me all alone to do the household tasks? Tell her to help me," Martlta lamented maybe with just a trace of self pity in her voice. Jesus squelched her and all busyworkers, workaholics and busybodies for evermore with this: "Martha, Martha, you are , anxious and upset about many things; one thing only is re quired. Mary has chosen the better portion and she shall not be deprived of it." Hearing the word of God is the most important thing a per son can do, even more important than emptying a dirty ashtray, fluffing up the cushions on the couch, setting the table, cook ing the dinner,' etc. That's why I never do any of those things; I don't want to be distracted from the great issues of life. Heh, Heh. The devil can quote Scripture, and so can a layabout , like me. A conniver can always cite some Gospel story or other to justify selfish behavior.

But Jesus made an exceJlent point, even though slackers may purposely misinterpret it. His point was: God comes first. Actually, to be absolutely truthful, I'm probably more like Martha than like Mary. I'm often too preoccupied to bother with God. The minute I wake up in July 23 the morning, my mind begins to Rev.

BILL RIEEL I

.L I try to pray on the bus, but by now my mind is churning with column ideas. Worry and insecurity drive out all thought of God. What can I write that's interesting? How, can I be pro vocative? One day on the bus I saw a passenger open the paper, look at my column, read a paragraph and tum to the comics. I can't begin to describe' how totally devastated I was. I'm obsessed with my career. I can't afford to be boring. I have to be the best. My column consumes me. God can wait. I run around all day, going here and there, seeing this and that, gabbing, making calls, an· swering mail. I only occasion ally,give my creator or my savi our a thought. On the way hOqle I'm too drained to pray. Event ually, before I go to bed, I spend a few minutes, maybe a little more,' reading the New Testament. Oh, sometimes I have long and productive talks about God with friends. Those conversa tions save me. But I lack the patie~e and perseverance to give God more than a few min utes of my private time. I'm too busy. I have so much to do. I have my career to consider. Me, me, me. Reel's holy trinity. Come to think of it, I'm not as much like Mary as I ought to be. .""'~"""""""'_., p

In announcing appointment of Bishop Adrianus J. Simonis of Rotterdam to the Utrecht post, the Vatican said that Cardinal Willebrands, 73, had asked the pope to make the change, ex pected to become effective near the end of this year. In a letter to churches in his arehdiocese, the cardinal said he wanted to resign as archbishop of Utrecht because of the mental and physical strain of combin ing the post with his presidency of the Vatican's Secretariat for Chri~tian Unity. The head of the Rotterdam Diocese since 1970, Bishop Sim onis, 51, is known as the more moderate of the two strongly conservative heads of dioceses within the Dutch hierarchy. Cardinal Willebrands, also president of the Dutch Bishops~ Conference, is considered a mod erate among the five Ordinaries identified as liberal. s~lits Liberal-conservative within the Dutch hierarchy ~nd even stronger, div~sions among many Ol.1tch Catholics led to a special synod of the nation's bishops in Rome three years ago aimed at restoring unity in the Dutch church.

Since then four auxiliary bi!lh ops have been, named in the Dutch church both to lighten the work load of the seven Ordinaries and to reduce the effects of per s,onality conflicts exacerbated by the small number of bishops 'in the Netherlands.

Vincent de Paul Society. Addi tionally" government grants have supported the work and the city of New Bedford has provided shelter space in a former school building, while beds have been ,supplied by Pilgrim United Churcli. Ministries workers, however, have leased a house for the shelter and hope to /transfer operations in the near future. The school explained Sister Rosellen, has no shower or kit chen facilities and can do little more for guests than keep them off the streets at night. ,Food service is minimal, con sisting mainly of a peanut butter sandwich bedtime snack and morning' coffee; but that will change with opening of the house, she said. Although the soup kitchen part of Market Ministries is well in hand, she noted, shelter vol unteers are. a constant need, preferably men, since most guests are'men. ' There ha~ebeeil relatively few problems at night, said the nun, possibly partly because "the police station is right across the street;" but also because many guests are "steady customers." A recent survey she made show ed that although there have been over 2000 uses of beds since the shelter opened,there were only 137 different men and 20 differ ent women involved.

Laundry, of course, is a daily

shelter job, another chore that

will .be eased ~hen the Minis

tries has its own house. Sister Rosellen also hopes for appoint ment of a shelter manager at that time, noting that funds are avail· able for such a position. Among others dedicated to the Market Ministries apostolate are Father Edward Holleran, OFM, of Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford,' and Barbara Taverna and Deacon James Wing, both of Pilgrim United Church.

In this imperfect world they and their cohorts in New Bed ford and Fall ~iver are quietly loving and serving.

NC News Service Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York, answering press speculation that he would be named to a bipartisan commis sion to recommend Central Am erican policy to the Reagan ad ministration, has said that he does not want to be a member of the commission. His decision was given to Henry Kissinger, former ·secre tary of state under the Nixon and Ford administrations. Kissin ger was named by President Reagan to head the bipartisan commission. A short statement issued by the cardinal July 19 said: "After reading in this morn ing's paper that my name' was mentioned among others as a possible member of the com mission on Central America, I spoke with Dr. Henry Kissinger. "I indicated to him that it was not possible for me to serve on the commission at this time. However, I would be willing to be available to him for consulta tion, but not as a' member Qf the commission." Reagan announced plans to form the commission July 18, but his annouocement named only Kissinger as a member. A news story in the July 19 Wash ington Post, citing unnamed ad ministration officials, said Car dinal Cooke had agreed to be a commission member. Cardinal Cooke's statement was issued before the White House named the other people on the nine-member panet The· 'cardinal did not s,ay July 19 whether he had been' asked to be a member or why he pre ferred not to be on the com mission. President Reagan, in an effort to improve' the U.S. approach toward Central America, an nounced formation of the com mission July 18 in a speech in Hollywood, Fla. ' At the same time, Reagan in dicated that overall U.S. policy toward EI S'alvador and Nica ragua, key Central American countries, would remain' the same. The United States still sup ports the Salvadoran govern ment in its war against guerril las and the United States con tinues to oppose the Nicaraguan government which is a "dictator ship of counterfeit revolution aries," said Reagan during the ,speech. "We must not allow totali tarianism and communism to win by default," said Reagan. ,The Reagan administration often has said that political tur moil in Central America is the result of Soviet and Cuban ef forts to spread Marxist revolu tion in the region. The announcement of the bi partisan commission cflme at a time when Reagan's policies to ward El Salvador and ;Nicaragua were facing strong opposition in Congress, where critics of U.S. policy are trying to end U.S. covert aid to Nicaraguan guer rillas and to limit the amount of military aid to EI Salvador.

Dear Editor: I would love to comment on that beautiful column on July 15, "Walking with Jesus" by Bill Reef I have read it over and over and it gets more beau tiful every time.

Freitas, diocesan and northeast regional director of the society, and six other represen tatives from the Fall River dio cese. Editor. Dear Editor: Paris, a city that mellms differ ent things to different people. There I saw the Faith of gen erations gone by in the beautiful and large cathedrals and the great abilities of those who de signed and built them. There also are the monuments to those who gave their lives in the de fense of freedom. As Vincentians, we came to Paris to celebrate 150 years of charity and love that were brought about by Ozanam and the Society that he founded in 1833. It was not Ozanam's purpose to start a new kind of human ism, even though that idea was mentioned at UNESCO by the UN representative who wel comed us. Humanism is not the Love of God and neither is it Faith or Hope. The SVDp· National President of France, in his welcoming speech reminded all of us of the words of Jesus in the gospel "The poor you will always have" and our Society must be there side by side, not to bring them Charity alone, but also Faith and Hope. God must be part and parcel of our works, lest we be come just another humanitarian society or government agency. Father McCullen, the Father General of the Priests of the Mission and the 23rd su<;cessor of St. Vincent de Paul, spoke in his homily at the Mass at the

Chapelle des Lazarists, at the altar near the tomb of St. Vin cent-dePaul, how St. Paul's voy age to Damascus ended as a pil grimage. Our trip may have started as a voyage, but it certainly turned into a pilgrimage on Thursday with the opening Mass at St. Suipice, followed on Friday by the Mass at the Chapelle of the Lazarists and the visit to the tomb of Frederic Ozanam, our founder. It was certainly a pilgrimage as two thousand Vincentians, and others, gathered Saturday, April 23, at Notre Dame Cathedral for the celebration of the Eucharist, presided over by the Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Jean-Marie Hustinger, accompanied by three bishops and many priests. The largest group of priests was, of course, from France, with a goodly number from other coun tries, especially from England, Scotland and Wales, but only three from the United States. Quite a birthday present to Fred eric said Father McCullen as he thanked Monsignor Yves Mar chasson at the end of his one hour conference before Mass at Notre Dame Cathedral. It was certainly a great tri bute to Ozanam that so many of his followers, who throughout the world hear the cry of the poor, came to pay him homage and to pray for his beatification. I hope that all those who could not make it to Paris for the cele bration joined with those who made it in Faith, Hope, and Love. Father Daniel L. Freitas St. John of God parish Somerset

NEW YORK (NC) - Rose Kennedy, who within an eight year span saw her husband die and two sons assassinated, credits her fortitude to her be lief that "God never gives a cross to bear larger than we can carry" in a recent interview in Parade magazine. Mrs. Kennedy, who turns 93 today, said she has always be lieved "God wants us to be happy." "He doesn't want us to be sad," she said. "Birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn't we?" The article, by Cleveland Amory, said Mrs. Kennedy's faith came more from her "shy and lonely but deeply religious mother" than from her father, the famed "Honey Fitz," John Francis Fitzgerald, congressman and mayor of Boston. As a Child of Mary at Sacred Heart School, the article said, she made a lifelong commitment "to hold my soul free in the face of changes of fortune." Discussing her role as the mother of nine, Mrs. Kennedy said, "I would rather have been the mother of a great son than to have written a great book or painted a great masterpiece." The article mentions the mis fortunes that have befsllen the Kennedy children. Mrs. Ken nedy's eldest daughter, Rose mary, was retarded and was in stitutionalized in 1941. Her eld est son, Lt. Joseph Kennedy Jr., was killed on a volunteer secret bombing mission in World War II after he had received orders for home. Her daughter, Kath leen, was killed in a plane crash in the French Alps.

Laity not 'paraclerics,' should serve in world

By Tracy Early NEW YORK (NC) - It is not the main job of the laity to serve the church as "paraclerics," the chairman of the bishops' Com mittee on the Laity said in an interview. '. We need to focus - on their ministry in the world," said Bishop James Hoffman of Tole do, Ohio. "That is where the big decisions are made on issues concerning justice and the kind of society we're going to have. "I am not opposed to lay peo ple becoming more involved in .the ministries of the church," Bishop Hoffman continued. "But that -is not their primary role. For example, some of our peo ple are executives in multi national corporations and cannot serve on the parish council be cause they may be in Munich (West Germany) on Tuesday when it meets. But if they can have an impact on what these corporations are doing, that is their role." The bishop was interviewed following an address in a "Shep herds Speak" series at St. James

Cathedral in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Alcohol, drug problems discussed . INDIANAPOLIS (NC) - The church in the United States should deal more openly with al cohol and drug abuse problems, said members of the National Clergy Conference on Alcohol ism and Related Drug Problems at their annual convention. The organization, founded in 1949 for alcoholic priests, has since opened its membership to all religious and lay men and women. It provides information about alcohol and drug addiction to pastors, teachers, dioceses and religious orders. ' Keynote speaker Redemptor ist Father Joseph Kerins, rector of Holy Redeemer College, Wash ington, D.C., was on the first NCCA board of directors. He re called the 1949 conference at which the participants met "iii such secrecy as to suggest sub .versive activities" and partici pants were referred to only by number. Today's NCCA should' give "attention not only to recovery but also to re-recovery," he said, and should also examine alcohol among the aged, since studies show that 10 percent of senior citizens become new vic tims of alcoholism. Augustinian Father Michael P.

Hogan of Miami, director of Al cohol-Drug Outreach for Cath olic Community Services in the Miami Archdiocese, said, " I be lieve our goal, our mission, is to enable the children of God to make responsible decisions about the use or non-use of beverage alcohol." He suggested that each church body establish a national depart ment concerned exclusively with the problem of alCohol and other drugs. Father John F. X. O'Neill, ex ecutive director of NCCA, said he hopes that the U.S. bishops will take a public stand on al cohol and drug abuse, as they did on war and peace. A session by Dick Schnurr dealt with teenage alcoholism. Schnurr, a former priest and a recovering alcoholic, founded a Columbus, Ohio, center for chemically dependent adoles cents.

The biggest problem for a teen-age alcoholic, Schnurr said',

Longing "Throw open wide your senses, longing intensely with each for the longing for all which is God." - Hadewijch of Antwerp (12th century)

is "the right to be a teen-age alcoholic." Rather than admit al coholism, we blame family, school, church, music, or erosion of authority, he said. Redemptorist Father Michael McAndrew, the son of an alco holic and a member of AI-Anon, an organization for alcoholics' families, has written a thesis on pastoral care for those families. He discussed characteristics of adult children of alcoholics, such as isolation, 'loss of identity, over-developed sense of respon sibility for others, and an addic tion. to excitement. "We either become alcoholics, marry them, or both, or find an other compulsive personality,"

he said.

Father Joseph C. Martin,

founder and director of Ashley,

an alcoholic treatment center in

Oakington, Md., said that when

he was experiencing alcoholism,

"I did not believe that God hated me. I just believed that he was disgusted and quit. It's one thing to read the definition of despair in a theology textbook and it's another thing to .experi ence it." His alcoholism caused "isola~ tion from God, others and self the very three things I was built to love," he said.

With the theme "Celebrate Life," Father 'Peter Casey, Di rector of Family Life for the Bosthon archdiocese, will be key note speaker at the 183 New England meeting of the North American Conference of Separa ted and Divorced Catholics. The Aug. 6 gathering will take place at Mont Marie Center, Holyoke. Workshop topics will include annulments, sexuality, children, remarriage and blended families, relationships with the church and techniques of conducting a support group. Conferees will be asked to consider the changes divorce or separation has brought to their Hves and how to adjust to their new situations. The conference is supported by family ministry offices throughout New England and will be attended] by ministry per sonnel as well as by divorced and separated persons of all faiths and by those not them selves divorced but affected by such a situation.

Rome retreat for priests of world ROME (NC) - The Interna tional Catholic Charismatic Re newal Organization is planning a worldwide priests' retreat Oct. 5-7, 1984, in Rome. Its theme will be "A Call to Holiness." The choice reflects "a trend among priests back to the image of holiness," according to U.S. Redemptorist Father Tom For rest, ICCRO council chairman. Father Forrest said he feels secular humanism has "put holi ness out of style and the loss has made priests timid about the deeply spiritual, as if fearing they might not be taken serious ly." A worldwide crusade of prayer and fasting has started in support of the trend towards holiness. Mother Teresa of Cal cutta has promised to partici pate in the effort. From 7,000 to 10,000 priests from 100 countries are expected to attend the retreat.

By James Steinberg PHOENIX, Ariz. (NC) - North, American Liturgy Resources, which began publishing liturgical folk music long before guitars were common in Catholic sanc tuaries, is both "merchant and minister," said Paul Quinlan, recording director. , The challenge is to be in the world and not in the world," he said. "We're under the in spiration of the Holy Spirit, who asks us to participate in the pro cess of 'aggiornamento.' There are some who would not agree." A good deal of damage was done in the early f:lays of Iitur .gical renewal in the U.S. by poorly trained musicians, Quin lan said. But he said liturgical folk music has matured beyond its early "predictability." In 1982 - NALR's 30th year of business - it grossed nearly $6 million in record, tape and sheet music sales. NALR's "superstar" perform ers and composers include the St. Louis Jesuits, Father Lucien Deiss, O.P., Michael Joncas, tlie Dameans, the Monks of Weston Priory, Vt., and even perennial ,pop..s tar Pat Boone. '!We,'re not interested in 'Christian praise' music or 'mu sic for easy listening,"~ sai:d Ann Perry, NALR's staff litur gist. "We want people to sing our music, to hear our music. We want out music to have a direct impact on worship. We want our music to enhance the liturgy and we reject even qual ity music if it's not liturgical," she said. In order to popularize, the Ro man Catholic folk idiom among mainline Protestants NALR is developing organ and choral ar rangements. Some NALR works have also been translated into Spanish. ' NALR has its detractors, both among Catholics who don't like folk music at Mass and among liturgists and musicians not op posl\i to contemporary church music in principle. "There is a teristo~' between 'pilgrim music" and, 'cathedral music' in the church today," Quinlan said. But 'he thinks the distinction between ,folk' and traditional m~s,ic is artificial. "We are responding to the needs of people we minister to and that means we should use the creative impulse that God has put into the human heart to respond to his call. There is a challenge laid on us to act as if what we believe is really true," saiJi Quinlan.

In those early days, with space at a premium, the Stonehill gym doubled as an all-purpose building. A fashion show was held there in 1950, "Oedipus };~ex" was presented in 1952 and an Alumni-Senior dance was held in 1953.

with their children, they report ed no experience of trauma when they left the nest. The research ers concluded that people who related in satisfying ways with their children adapted well to the changed environment. If the empty nest syndrome was a hasty label, is the full nest syndrome equally hasty? Speaking 'personally, I, would say it <:ould be. Last August, my daughter, Mary, 28, moved in , with me after being away from home 11 years. She was tired of living alone in a Manhattan apartment, while I found living alone in the lovely Connecticut countryside also a bit dull. My younget son, Peter, after, two years in the army, is living with us too and will commute to college this fall. I have never been happier than I am now with my adult child ren home again. But our new household and our relationship are very differ ent from what they were. Today we are three adults, housemates, living together, sharing the chores and respecting each other's schedules. No one inter feres with the' others' privacy. No one ke~ps tabs on the other's comings and goings. When we can, we eat together and have fun together, going to movies or concerts or to a com munity fair. We share a lot about daily happenings, but not out of a sense of obligation. If parents and adult children understand that their roles have changed, that they now are adults relating to adults, then Iiying togethe~ once again can be stimulating and lively as well as an antidote to loneliness. Ad mittedly, it takes a good relation ship to begin with to achieve this. ,But this new phenomenon of adult children' moving back home could signal the beginning of a return to what our grand parents had - the security of an extended family.

Until recently, women in early middle age wl)ose children were grown up would complain about feeling lost, alone and depressed. Professionals termed this phen omenon the "empty nest syn drome." , They compared the mothers' feelings to the way any newly unemployed person might feel, faced with the loss of job and role. It was a simple, neat diagno sis. Well, the economic realities of the past few years have appar ently put' things in reverse gear. Today some young people, after a 'number of years away at col lege or on the job, are returning 'home to live with their parents, having discovered that they can't make enough money to support a separate home, at least the type home to which they were accustomed. This new phenomenon can be called the "full nest syndrome." According to some reports; many , parents do not welcome it. Parents, after all, are people too. For many parents, '20 to 30 years of raising kids is enough. After looking forward to peace and leisure they find themselves/ all of a suden having to relate as partners with adult children. That ~evelopmerit leads me to wonder if the empty nest syn drome ever was real. Perhaps people were too willing to ac cept it as: an explanation for post - motherhood depression when the reasons were in real ity far more complex. It's possi ble that women's depression came more from boredom and a' stagnant relationship with their husbands. As much as 10 years ago, at - the Duke University Center for the Study! of Aging and Human Development, researchers re ported that many women said they had never felt so free as when their children left home.

PD loses pounds on faith By Henry F. Unger PHOENIX, Ariz. (NC) Friends, fellow legislators and parishioners see a lot less of Deacon Tony West these days. That's because there once was a lot more to see of the perman ent deacon and Republican state senator from Phoenix. West, who once packed 326 pounds on a 5-foot-l0-inch frame, has shed some 140 pounds and wants to lose 26 more, ending as a svelte 160 pounder. He attributes his weight loss to the help of the Overeaters Anonymous-HOW program and prayer. (HOW stands for "Honesty, Openmind ness and Willingness.") West served 11 years in the Arizona legislature, first in the House and now in the Senate. He earned recognition for pro moting the anti-abortion cause. But he also had a reputation for his eating ability. As a colleague put it, West could do away with a whole rack of lamb at one sit ting. West is financially secure, thanks to family business opera tions and investment success, but that security allowed more time for indulging in food and gallons of wine and other alco hol. "I have been ashamed of my self and yet I knew I had a ter rible problem which had to be conquered," he said. Several months ag9 he began conquering it. Once he could not walk rapidly across a street without difficulty and never felt really healthy. Now he engages in vigorous exercise and jogs up stairs. West says the reduction pro gram and "a lot of prayers and trust in God" are responsible for the changes. The legislator said he has al ways ha4 a food compulsion and had qUi~kly regained previous weight lc;»sses. But his condition began tQ crush him psychologi cally.

Abp. Lefebvre' retires ECONE, Switzerland (NC) ':"'"" French Archbishop Marcel Lefeb vre, 77, retired June 29 from the position of head of the tradi tionalist Society of Priests of St. Pius X. The prelate, who is suspended from _priestly ministry by the Roman Catholic Church, made the announcement during a Mass at which he ordained 22 priests for his traditionalist movement. He said his successor would be 31-year-old West German Father Franz Schmidberger. The archbishop said that it was time "to consign the burden and the grace which accom panies it to younger forces." "The work will continue with courage, the work of maintain ing tradition and carrying the ch~rch forward. We have not wished to be schismatics or heretics, but CathOliCS," he said. The French-born archbishop was suspended by Pope Paul VI in 1976 after ordaining several priests in defiance of a direct papal prohibition. He opposes reforms of the Second Vatican Council, held from 1962 to 1965, particularly its decrees on religious freedom, ecumenism and liturgy. Under his suspension, he con tinues to be a Catholic, a priest

and an archbishop,· but he can not licitly celebrate Mass, or dain priests or administer the other sacraments. The sacra ments he confers, though illicit, are nevertheless valid. Both Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II have met with Archbishop Lefebvre to try to resolve his differences with Rome. Cardinal Joseph Ratzin ger, prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has maintained con tact with him toward the same goal. Archbishop Lefebvre's move ment has seminaries 'in Italy, West Germany, Argentina and the United States as well as Switzerland. It has some 120 priests, 250 seminarians and 50 nuns among its members. About 3,000 people attended the June 29 ordination ceremony. The archbishop said he will continue to ordain new priests. "I am for the moment the only bishop to take part openly in the fraternity," he said.

sands of American Catholics who

have had previous marriages an

nuled in the church can thank

Father John R. Keating, newly

named bishop of Arlington, Va.,

for easing the process.

In 1963, as a young priest of the Chicago Archdiocese, Father Keating wrote a doctoral thesis on canon law. It had a major impact on church court practice regarding annulments on psy chological grounds. "When I went to school, Keat ing was 'the' name in psychol ogical cases," said Msgr. Daniel Hoye, general secretary of the National Conference of Cath olic Bishops. The thesis, "The Bearing of Mental Impairment on the Valid ity of Marriage," showed that decisions by the church's central marriage court had effectively expanded the definition of psy chological incapacity to enter a marriage contract. The thesis was "one of the earliest works in English" in . that area, said Father Martin Lavin, a specialist in jurispru dence on the canon law faculty of the Catholic University of America. The Roman Rota is the church's' central court of ap-' peals for marriage cases. Its de cisions provide an authoritative judicial interpretation of church law. . By bringing together a~d an alyzing the case law that had been slowly developing in the Roman Rota, "enabled other tribunals" to make use of it, Father Lavin said. He said that previously only "a massive schizophrenia" or comparable severe iIJnesses were recognized by church courts as psychological grounds for de claring a marriage null.

Meeting in July with partici pants in the 41st Serra Inter national Congress at the Vati can's Paul VI Audience Hall, the pope praised the "distinguished lay apostolate" of the organiza tion's members and urged them to work closely with their bishops. Serra International was founded in 1935 as a Catholic lay movement to foster voca tions to the priesthood and reli gious life and to train Catholic ,lay leadership. Named for Father Junipero Serra, the 17th-century Spanish Franciscan missionary to California, the club currently has some 14,000 members in 33 countries, including many in the Fall River diocese,

One of our tasks as Christians is to help build up the fire of love in the world. Sometimes people we encounter suffer from an injured. self-image. They choose the safety of remaining

sensitive to the other person's

need for acceptance.

This doesn't mean we have to accept all of his or her behavior. Rather, we need to find ways to value the person behind the ac tions. It takes patience - but it helps make the world a warmer place.

He also expressed concern that persons in Bible study groups tend to isolate themselves from any political and social partici pation outside the group.

"The Catholic tradition of the Bible has never been that it is a book of private piety; it's a set of guidelines for the global com munity," said Father Sloyan, stressing that Catholics should avoid any biblical interpretation that leads to elitism.
