Family, Priesthood Crises Seen Linked By John Muthig VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican Committee for the Family has said that the crisis in Christian families in the West is linked to the crisis in the priesthood. ,In a document charting the committee's priority areas, the committee said that "if families do not always know what course . of action to follow, it is because they are often left in un· certainty by their spiritual guides. , "The crisis that is being experienced in the priesthood can be linked with the crisis known by many families," said the committee. "A renewed priesthood will save the family and vice-versa." In the document, titled "The Family in the Pastoral Activity of the Church," the committee deplored the lack of Catholic opposition to anti-family legislation. "It is striking," said the com· mittee, "to note that Catholics in the West are so little prepared to fight the civil battles in favor of the family.

It criticized seminaries for training seminarians "for a min. istry to individuals, independent of their social milieu." " It is necessary," said the committee, "to help priests to be more attentive to the family as a social unit, and to the place of each of its members in the evangelical renewal of the family as the first milieu of life." In general, the committee document deplored the decline of the family in the West. It cautioned, however, against thinking that the same family problems in the West exist elsewhere in the world. The family crisis in the West, it said, "arises directly from a mentality which stresses material success, individualism, efficiency, technology which is becoming more and more refined, and the development of a l'ifestyle that stresses money, action and power. "More and more the authentic values of family life - love as gift of self, the generous acceptance of life, fidelity, permanence in married life, the spirit of sacrifice - are being regarded as less ,important and relegated to a secondary level," said the document. The committee said that "the peace and harmony of society, and to a certain extent, the future of the church rests on Christian families." Pope Paul VI founded the committee for the Family in 1973. It is now a branch of the Pontifical Council for the laity, headed by Cardinal Opilio Rossi. Canadian Bishop Edouard Gagnon is vice president of the Committee for the Family.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The House has passed what U.S. Catholic Conference official John McCarthy' calls a "cleaning up" piece of legislation affecting immigration, by a 396-20 vote. Senate action will follow. McCarthy, director of the usec Migration and Refugee Services, said the usec had supported the bill. The bill would make it easier to adjust the status of refugees admitted into the United States under the attorney general's parole authority. It would allow some 5,000 refugees to adjust their status to that of a permanent resident alien and would free up about 8,000 refugee slots for "boat people," refugees who fled Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in small boats. The bill would also end the system of different quotas for immigrants from the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Current law allows 170,000 immigrants a year from the Eastern Hemisphere and 120,000 from the Western Hemisphere. The new hill would substitute one worldwide ceiling of 290,000 immigrants a year.

Artists Ask Use Of Originals VATICAN CITY (NC) About 40 leading American craftsmen and museum officials met recently in the Vatican to promote use of original craft art objects for church worship and decoration in America; "We have some beautiful churches in America with magnificent exterior designs," said Father Kenneth Jadoff, who accompanied Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York to the seminar, "but often the superb effect stops at the doorway into

NEW YORK (NC) - Philip Scharper, editor of Orbis Books, has resigned as co-chairman of the Committee for the Responsible Election of the Pope, just two days after the formation of the committee was announced in New York. Scharper said his involvement in the committee has been associated in the press with his position at Orbis Books, the book publishing arm of the Maryknoll Fathers. Such association, he said, could hurt Maryknoll. The committee is an international group of Catholics which plans to brief members of the College of Cardinals and other interested persons on the qualifications of future candidates for pope. :James F. Andrews, co-chairman and founder of the committee, said Scharper had assured him that "there was no external pressure applied on him to resign."

themoorin~ A Word of Caution The United Way fundraising program for Cape Cod is now underway. In other a.reas of this diocese such efforts will also begin in the near future. For years most people have respor.ded to this form of appeal without question, trusting that all the funds raised were being given to agencies that indeed reflected the charitable intent of the donor. However, in recent times, it has been pointed out that in several cases community fundraising organizations have . channeled funds into local agencies that would not have received such support had donors known how their contributions were being used or abused. For example, in some areas of the country United Way funds are supporting member agencies that are nothing more than extensions of the national Planned Parenthood organi~ation.

Like wolves in sheep's clothing,' these agencies ofter... seek United Way funds under the guise of helping the poor often using the phrase "poor mothers." It should be pointed out that this term is in many instances used by supporten of medicaid abortions. Here at home, such phrases are often found in the verbiage of our own governor. As a leading MassachuseU~: proponent of abortion, Mr. Dukakis buries his intent under labels and slogans that can at best be described as deluding the very poor he claims to be helping. In no way is this paper requesting its readers to with路路 draw their .support from the efforts of the United Way. What is requested is that Catholics make sure that theil~ contributions are not used to fund Planned Parenthood organizations and abortion clinics. If a particular United Way area drive does endorse such agencies, even indirectly under a misleading title, then Catholics should not offer support. In fact, they should do everything possible to expose such agencies as unworthy of' community concern. We urge readers to ask their local United Way office for a list of the agencies that receive their support. Do not hesitate to employ the direct question, namely, "Do any of the funds of this United Way go to sustain directly or indirectly planned parenthood or abortion clinics?" If possible, get your response in writing. Above all, be sure that at least in this part of the state, United Way organizations will know that they cannot coax funds from Catholics to be used in a disguised effort to aid and abet the activities of those who deal in death.

Keep an Eye on the TV

As the networks prepare for a "new season," let Catholics realize that they might be in for another sieg,~ of anti-Catholic satire. First and foremost, it would be hoped that the leadership of the Church in this country will not sit back and let the laity do all the work of standing up to the hate.. mongers of national TV. Secondly, Catholic parents should make all concerned realize that the times are diffkult enough for bringing up children withouthaving the media chopping away at institutions and people who still seek to bnng valUe to llte. Thirdly, we should not hesitate to inform sponsors of anti-Catholic TV slaps and satire that their products wLl no longer find a place on the family shopping list. Let's all get together and put the TV bigot off the ail'.

Crime and Politicians By Father Joim B. Slieerin, CSP

Two weeks ago, an Eastern Airlines stewardess waited on a subway platform in New York City. An assailant grabbed her handbag, held a knife to her throat and pushed her into the path of an oncoming train. She managed to get her hands up on the platform but the assailant kicked her back onto the tracks. Once again she reached for the platform, made it and scrambled up safely. Just one more in the endless list of crimes committed in our big' cities every day, most of them without a happy ending. In Central Park, a gang of youths a few days before had clubbed Dick Button, former world champion ice skater, and left him and four fr:iends with fractured skulls. It is not surprising that so. m~ny crimes of violence are committed in the cities, but it is surprising that the crime problem is usually put in the hands of politicians for solution. Why politicians, of all people, should be considered experts in penology is a mystery. But it is also puzzling that the churches do not band together in impressive fashion to combat crime. Fifty years ago, a prominent Protestant churchman' advocated a national Church Un.ty movement in the United Sta';es, focusing on the special potential the churches could marshal in a national drive on crime. Recently The New York Times " ran an article entitled, "Only I Politicians Have Found Easy Answers to Youth Crime." The politicians in New York have suddenly become experts in crime and punishment because this is election year. Democratic Gov. Hugh Carey has been op-

Diocese Created In California WASHINGTON (NC) Father Philip F. Straling, pastor of Holy Rosary Church in S.an Bernardino, Calif., has been designated the first bishop of the new Diocese of San Bernardino, created by Pope Paul VI from two counties in the Diocese of San Diego. The changes here announced in Washington by Archbishop Jean Jadot, apostolic delegate in the United States. Establish. ment of the new diocese brings the total in the U.S. to 170. Bishop-elect Straling, a 45year-old native of San Bernardino, has been a priest of the San Diego Diocese since March 19, 1959. Before ordination, he studied at St. Francis Seminary and Immaculate Heart Seminary in San Diego, later earning a degree in philosophy at the University of San Diego and a master's in counseling at San Diego State.

Textbook Loans Continued from Page One cise their right to choose an appropriate education for their chilren." The court decision came after diocesan parents, in preparation for the start of school in September, had signed and returned to their children's schools the textbook loan request forms that have become a welcome part of the educational routine. One diocesan mother, already hit with hiked tuition at her son's Catholic high school, com· mented, "It would be less infuriating if it weren't for the fact that Massachusetts public school systems get an allowance from the state for each child in school, whether public or private. What it amounts to is that we pay taxes for public schools we don't use, and then those same schools get paid for our children whom they're not educating." The state Supreme Court found that the 1973 Massachusetts law violates a 1918 amendment to the state constitution which prohibits use of public money or properties by any private school. The decision is not appealable, said Assistant Attorney General Mitchell Sicora Jr., since it has to do with the state constitution, over which the state high court has final authority. The textbook loan program came under fire in ~ case filed by 13 Springfield taxpayers who sued the city school committee to prevent expenditure of $200,000 on books for private school students. In its ruling, the high court noted that the U.S. Supreme Court has held unconstitutional the loan of instructional material and equipment to priva~schools. The state body stated, however, that its ruling "does not imply any decision that sundry general benefits not entering into the educational process at elementary and secondary schools are also offensive to the Constitution." As examples of such "general benefit/i" it had no intention of halting, the court cited busing and provision of meals to students.

Aid for Ethiopia

THE BRENDAN

VATICAN CITY ~NC) - The Catholic Secretariat of Addis Ababa has appealed for help for Ethiopian victims of the war and famine, saying the war in Ogaden has destroyed houses, schools and hospitals that other regions have been hit by nearly three years of famine, and that some zones have been deluge4 by refugees from Eritrea. It also said that in the city of Asmara, which was besieged for many months, 250,000 people are without sufficient food or fuel.

Brendan Voyage Recreated By Daring Explorer WASHINGTON (Nt) - When Tim Severin and his three crewmen set sail from Ireland to North America in a leather boat, they were prepared for a variety of possible mishaps - but not for a man overboard. "You were done for," Severin calmly noted, "if you fell off that thing." "That thing" is the Brendan, a 36-foot oxhide and wooden vessel which Severin designed from records describing the voyage of St. Brendan, a sixth century Irish monk who may have beaten Christopher Columbus to the Americas by almost 1,000 years. While many modern historians had ridiculed reports of the voyage as myth, Severin, 37, a specialist in' the history of exploration, had doubts about the doubts. So he built the square-rigged vessel, which for all the relative sophistication of its design, could not retrace its course to pick up anyone who fell overboard. In selecting the crew, "You had to have people who were accustomed to the motion of a small boat, who knew when it was likely to lurch," Severin said. Despite the risky nature of the venture, Severin hardly ap.pears rash. Much study preceded the operation. "There is a mass of absolutely authentic early medieval texts, all which basically tell the same story." While the extant texts date only back to the eighth century, Severin thinks St. Brendan may have written his own account, which was lost after having been copied by others in later years. The Irish are the logical people, situated as they are, to have engineered the first transAtlantic crossings, Severin said. Too, "they knew the world was round." "Ireland was the most learned country ,in Europe at the time, no question of it. For the rest of Europe it was the Dark Ages, but for Ireland it was the Golden Age," said Severin, in Washington promoting "The Brendan Voyage," the saga of his adventure. If the Irish left no evidence of their crossings on the North American continent as the Norsemen apparently did there is a reason, Severin said.

"No one would actually expect that. I think that one has to accept that whereas the Norsemen were here to trade and raid and colonize, the Irish were not. For the start, they were in much smaller vessels. There were fewer of them." But why were the Irish out on the North Atlantic in their tiny craft in the first place?' The Irish monks "were very deeply influenced by the Desert Fathers, by the teaching that you went out to get closer to God by placing yourself away from the temptations of the world," said Severin, a native of India who now lives in Ireland. "They sought the desert in the ocean." In addition, "They traveled on the ocean to see God's wonders. God would reveal his wonders to them upon the deep. And so they went with this sense of awe - and a sense of complete trust: if you were overwhelmed by a storm, it was God's will. And if you encountered a whale, it was one of God's wonders." Severin reports that he too was deeply moved by the ocean's wonders. "No question of it. The first time that a very large whale came up and surfaced alongside our small boat - well, I don't think any man would have been able to quell a sense of awe." His voyage began on May 17, 1976 at Dingle, Ireland. When he reached Iceland in July, the Icelandic Coast Guard recommended that he not attempt to complete the voyage that summer, but to come back early in 1977. Following that advice, he completed the journey when he landed at Newfoundland June 28, 1977. Much of his book was written in journal form at sea, Severin said. The task of writing, along with the other chores of life at sea, kept interplay between the crewmen at a minimum. There were no personality clashes, Severin said, despite the cramped quarters and the long period of isolation from others. "There was little discussioncertainly almost no personal discussion," he said. "Politics no one was interested in." The crew will all share in profits from the sale of Severin's book. And he is already planning another adventure. "It does involve boats," he said. "But it'll be in warmer water."

Suggests I)etailed Study of IChicago Declaration By

REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY

The so-called "Chicago Declaration" is one of the "happenings" in recent American Catholic history. Despite attempts to write it off as the creature of "old timers" of American Catholic Action, it turns out that the old timers (Barta, Marciniak, Crowley, Cantwell) touched an extraordinarily responsive· nerve in young and old alike. I've got to take my hat off to them. .

By MARY CA,RSON

I didn't see Jaws. I have no intention of seeing Jaws II. But I'm beginning to think . this is going to be an annual .event, like the Fourth of July Parade. Next year we'll probably have Grandson of Jaws. After that we can expect Paws and Claws ... they'll develop an amphibian mutant from the Jaws strain. Instead of just eating people in the ocean, they'll devour whole beaches fl'lI.

I think the group should fellow the example set two d~ cades ago by Father Willia n Mooney an:! the Cathclic Conmission on Intellectual and CLItural Affairs and' commission in-depth analyses of several of the main issues which the Declaration seems to raise. The now-famous volJmes by Ell. s, Weigel and O'Dean that tle CCICA commissioned had profound influence on the Catholicism of their time. There are, I think, at least four major areas in t:le Dec:a· ration which ought to be examined in mt:.ch greater detail: - The role of the priest: Sone reaction. to the Chicago Declaration took a minimal~t view of

we did is better than a 'professional' survey." Many of the signatories of the Chicago Declaration, I gather, are appalled by the influence incompetent enthusiasm currently has in the church.

But there are ambiguities and dilemmas ir the old Catholic Action view of the clerical ministry. The view ought to be clarified, takin~ into account not only theological theories of the priesthood but also the sociological realities of lay expectation for clerical behavior.

- The Church in politics: The Church should and can take stands on matters of social principle but ought to avoid, save in rare circumstances, formal pl"onouncements on political subjects about which Church authorities can safely be assumed to know little more than the average citizen.

- The importance of competency: These days, incompetency is almost a boast. "We didn't do a 'professional' survey" is a way of saying, "What

But if any lower member of the breed disobeys the laws . . . it is killed. The hero claims it's for the common good. Some suspect it's retaliation and an effort to maintain control through fear. The lower members unite and overthrow the hero's dictatorship. They kill him, and haV'ing rebelled against his totalitariah-

I should like to see this theme made much more explicit and detailed. It has been said by some that the Chicago Statement is an inkblot into which one can read anything one wants. But in conversation with some of the signatories, I do not think I am distorting their agenda. They are basically radical in the sense that they are calling for a return to roots. They are arguing against those who say you can· not go home again. Their response, which I completely endorse, is "Where else can we go?"

Windfalls for Millionairesl Peanuts for Everyman By JIM CASTELLI

By MARILYN RODERICK

While our survival in·, stinctj) tell us that charging goods, particularly clothes,

sored by Rep. William Steiger (R-Wis.), would lower the maximum tax on capital gains, income generated by the sale of stocks, Ibonds, real estate 3nd other assets. The bill is cosponsored by 62 senators. The amendment is being discussed as part of an effort at tax reform. The U.S. Catholic Conference and the National Conference of Catholic Charities have supported tu reform in general terms, but have no positions on a number of detailed proposals. Msgr. Francis Lally, usec Secretary for Social Development and World Peace, 3aid Catholics should evaluate the Steiger bill in terms of two key

principles of Church teaching on economic justice: - The tax burden should be shared €quitably and taxes should be progressive, that is, people with higher incomes should pay proportionately more taxes than those with lower incomes. Capital gains are already taxed at a lower rate than salary income and Carter has cited this disparity in attacking the tax system. He called for an increase in the capital gains tax. But Congressmen from both sides of the aisle have instead supported lowering it. Treasury Secretary Michael Blomenthal says capital gains taxes raise $10.3 billion a year

for the government. The maximum rate is 49.1 percent for individuals and 30 percent for corporations. Steiger would lower the rate to 25 percent for everyone. Steiger amendment supporters claim the bill would stimulate stock sales and raise stock prices; provide tax relief to middle-income families, especially home owners; help private industry to expand; and provide more jobs and raise federal revenues because of taxes that would be collected on new income. Blumenthal made these arguments to the Senate: - Only 25 percent of the money saved would go to cor·

porations, offering a less efficient incentive for expansion than tax credits or overall reductions in corporate taxes. The administration believes the amendment would trigger land speculation. - Most of the income producing property which would be helped by the amendment, such as real estate, livestock, commodities and other goods, does not generate new jobs. - Eighty percent of the bill's benefits would go to those with incomes above $100,000 a year. The average benefit for someone with an ,income of $1 million a year would be $145,302; the average benefit for someone 'with an income of $15,000 a year would be 25 cents.

Divorced Support Marriage Rules

THE ANCHORThurs., July 27, 1978

'PORTLAND, Ore. (NC) - Divorced Catholics, in general, believe in marriage and support the church's teachings on marriage. They do not want others to get a divorce and they wish that their own marriages had not failed. This is the opinion of Paulist Father James Young, a national spokesman for the North American Conference of Separated and Divorced Catholics. Father Young is director of ministerial studies at Weston School of Theology, Cambridge, Mass. He will become rector of St. Paul's College, Washington, D.C., in September. In his sampling of views of divorced Catholics across the nation, Father Young said he found they want to be accepted as Catholics and to be part of the church. "They want to help others," the priest said. "They want to become involved in support groups so that what happened to them won't happen to others." Support groups help people readjust so that they can avoid a hasty remarril\ge, he added. Currently, 37 percent of first marriages and 44 percent of second marriages end in divorce, according to Father Young's statistics. Much of the failure of second marriages is attributed to hasty remarriages, he believes. Thus, his opinion is that support groups should offer people the possibility of staying single. Divorced persons need information about living alone, about being a single parent, about taxes and the law and about their own personal recovery, the priest said. "Support groups should also offer personal support and the social support of new friends they can share and talk with," Father Young continued. "They should offer spiritual assistance to help them see what the spiritual meaning of the broken marriage is. They need to help people move through them and back into parish life until they are gradually back into their communities." Parishes should welcome divorced persons and remove any discrimination against them or their children, he added. They should continue as lectors or on parish councils. Divorced Catholics have a lot to offer, Father Young said. "For example, think what we could learn from them for premarriage classes," he noted.

Ancient Symbol Found in France BOULOGNE-SUR路NER, France (NC) - The recent discovery of a Christian symbol believed to date prior to 275 A.D. "changes all our concepts of the introduction of Christianity in northwest Europe, and it may help to pinpoint the beginning of the evangelization of Britain," according to a French archeologist. The archeologist, Guy BatailIe of iBoulogne-Sur-Ner, called the discovery "the most exciting archeological find made in France this year." The symbol, a cruciform monogram carved into a three-pound block of lead, was uncovered by a bulldozer working on construction of an underground parking lot. Government archeologist Pierre Leman said the cross is more than 150 years older than any other Christian symbol found along France's channel coast.

Living Will Legislation Continued from Page One he said, such legislation could result ,in "active euthanasia," lower general standards of life protection and "open the door" to voluntary euthanasia. On the medical implications of the Quinlan case, Dr. James Davis said patients like Miss Quinlan suffer from severe damage to the brain. In handling cases like hers, the Louisville neurologist said he counsels family members that "meaningful life has ceased to exist" for the patient, but will not discontinue use of a respirator unless the family approves. Father Donald McCarthy' of Cincinnati, a medical ethics lecturer and author, advocated "common sense" approaches to such cases, in another talk. "We do not kill people," he said, but "we recognize there are limitations as to what we can accomplish" in caring for some people. The task of medicine is to preserve life but ,it路 is "not the task of medicine to prolong dying," Father McCarthy said, The use of medical technology to "stretch out dying" is a "misuse

of medical powers," he added. The Catholic Church's position, defined by Pope Pius XII, ,is that there is no requirement to use extraordinary means to sustain the life of a patient when there is no chance for recovery, the priest said. Theologians generally hold that medical treatment is extraordinary if it does not offer reasonable hope of 'benefit" or causes excessive pain, hardship or expense. Father McCarthy said two questions must be asked in cases of terminal illness: - Should a certain medical procedure be classified as extraordinary or ethically optional? - Should the procedure be omitted? Knowledgable medical personnel, with input from the patient's family should answer the first, he said, while the patient himself should answer the second, if he is able to do so. Acknowledging that families face difficulty in deciding lifedeath questions relating to a terminally ill relative, Father McCarthy said: "These decisions cannot be made responsibly

Bishops Oppose Death Penalty WASHINGTON (NC) A bishop who saw six men die in the electric chair when he was a prison chaplain has urged Congress to defeat a bill that would reinstate the death penalty at the federal level. Bishop Ernest Unterkoefler of Charleston, S.C., drew on his experiences in a Virginia prison in presenting U.S. Catholic Conference testimony on the bill, H.R. 13360, to the House subcommittee on criminal justice. Federal law already provides the death penalty for certain crimes, but its procedures are

not in line with those approved by the Supreme Court in 1976. The bill would revise federal law to reflect the court decisions. Bishop Unterkoefler said society can find "effective and humane" ways to deal with violent crime without "resorting to such simplistic and atawstic practices as capital punishment." He also offered these reasons for opposing the death penalty: - "I firmly believe that rehabilitation, even of murderers, is possible. Our obelief in Christ's message of redemption and res-

toration compels us to seek, even for those who have taken a life, the opportunity for the personal transaction of penitence, restoration and a new beginning which is at the heart of the Christian struggle for salvation. The death pena,lty eliminates this possibility." - Capital punishment contributes to the level of violence in society. - "Executing the offender helps neither the victim nor the victim's survivors."

without prayer (and) should not be made unilaterally by a physician."

It was found on the site of barracks used by sailors of the Roman fleet that controlled the coasts of Britain. Boulogne-surNer was one of the main ports used by the Romans for traffic to and from Britain, which had been conquered by the Roman legions under Emperor Claudius in 43 A.D.

DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS BISHOP'S OFFICE

July 27, 1978 Dearly beloved in Christ, Recently, our Holy Father observed the Fifteenth Anniversary of his Coronation. He soon will celebrate his Eighty-first Birthday. These are occasions which are indeed significant and a cause of much rejoicing for the whole Church. In his unique position as Successor of Saint Peter and Vicar of Christ on earth, Pope Paul VI admirably continues to bear the awesome responsibility of . teaching, governing and sanctifying the People of God. The Holy Father's clear and forthright teaching in matters of faith and morals has wonderfully safeguarded the truths of faith in an age when confusion seems to abound. His active concern for the poor and needy throughout the world continues to make real the love of Christ in our day. As a Catholic people, we should prayerfully remember Pope Paul. Ask the good Lord to grant him the grace and strength needed to continue his unique witness to the authentic teaching of Christ in our contemporary world. As a further sign of our unity with the Holy Father, I am pleased to announce that on next weekend we shall have the customary "Peter's Pence" Collection. Your generous response to this annual Collection will serve as a wonderful support to the many charitable endeavors of Pope Paul. It will also provide one and all throughout the Diocese an opportunity to reaffirm our unity in faith and charity with the Holy Father. Extending to all prayerful regards for a full measure of God's choice blessings, I have the pleasure to remain Devotedly yours in Christ, Bishop of Fall River

Pope Visits Cardinal Wright By John Muthig

V.ATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI paid a half-hour visit to American Cardinal John Wright in the cardinal's apartment near the gates to Vatican City. Besides Cardinal Wright, Pope Paul visited Cardinals Alfredo Ottaviani and Alberto di Jorio. It was the day before the pontiff began his working vacation at the papal summer villa in Castelgandolfo. Cardinal di Jorio, the oldest man in the College of Cardinals, was about to celebrate his 94th birthday July 18. "In short, it was a very pleasant visit and a very kind thing to do," said Cardinal Wright in an interview at the Congregation for the Clergy which he heads. "The pope told me that he is going on vacation to Castelgandolfo and that he thought he would spend a couple of . days saying goodbye to those who either can't get away or who are taking longer trips for more serious reasons," said the cardinal.

CARDINAL WRIGHT

Cardinal Wright will return to the United States in August for a series of medical tests and a possible cataract operation. In recent years the cardinal has had serious problems with his legs, diagnosed as polymyositis. At the beginning of this year he was confined to his apartment. But since Easter his health has improved and he now goes to the office daily with the aid of a wheelchair. The cardinal said that he explained the state of his health to the pope during the visit. "The pope was extremely

genial," said the cardinal. "He seemed amazed, however, that I had been going regularly every day to the ofifce. That leads me to believe that someone may have suggested otherwise." The cardinal said that he was moved by the pope's offer to give every assistance to him during the period he will undergo tests. The pontiff arrived at the cardinal's apartment, located a stone's throw from St. Peter's Square and St. Anne's Gate leading into Vatican City, at 6:05 p.m. "He was accompanied only by his personal secretary, Msgr. Pasquale Macchi, and Father Donald Wuerl, Cardinal Wright's secretary. "When I greeted the pope at the elevator he was very gracious and kind· and said that he hoped his visit wouldn't disturb anyone," said Father Wuerl. The cardinal, who will be 69 July 18, stood to meet the pontiff as he entered the living room. The two were left alone for private conversation in the room, decorated with mementos of the cardinal's career and of 19th-century Enl1lish Cardinal John Henry Newman, whom Cardinal Wright greatly admires. As he left at 6:35, the pope, spoke with the cardinal's housekeeper, Divine Providence Sister Joseph Mary of Pittsburgh.

CHD Funds Aid 15 Local Agencies Grants totalling $10,000 have been distl'ibuted to 15 organizations and projects in cities and towns of the Fall River diocese, it has been announced by Father Peter N. Graziano, diocesan director of social services. The money represents most of the 25% of Campaign for Hu-man Development funds retained for diocesan use following the annual national collection for the American bishops' povertyfighting campaign. The remaining moneys collected here are forwarded to the national CHD office for use in national and regional projects.

Thirty-nine

proposals

were

submitted to the diocesan department, said Father Graziano. Those not funded, he explained, fell in general into the following categories: ~ government grants vvere available; - organizations in some respects operated counter to Catholic teachings; - requests were worthy but not in line with CHD guidelines; - organizations requesting aid had no firm basis; - proposals were poorly pre. sented "with consequent implications." Areas receiving funding were the following:

Murdered Priest Called A Martyr ANTIGUA, Guatemala (NC)A priest murdered June 30 in an isolated Iural area is being called a "martyr" of the cam· pesino cause by peasant groups, media editorials and church leaders. Father iHermogenes Lopez, pastor at San Jose Pinula, was shot to death by unknown assailants in a .lonely dirt road. Thousands of peasants attended tl:.e funeral Mass for Father Lopez, with Cardinal Mario Casariego of Guatemala City presiding. The homilist called the priest "a martyr and hero, whose saintly message lives forever." The cardinal called the priest's murder "a sacrilege," and peasant leaders addressing mourners at the cemetery spoke of him as "a martyr of the people's struggle." Black ribbons were displayed

in buses, shops and homes for several days.. For several weeks Father Lopez had been leading successful resistance to efforts of a private concern, AGUA, to reroute irrigation water serving peasant farms into commercial use by city residents. He was also involved in a fight against poor health services and the use of defective vaccines for children. Parishioners said he was planning to denounce to the newly inaugurated president, Gen. Romeo Lucas Garcia, an experimental program of sterilization among young women. Three weeks before his murder, Father Lopez said in a Sunday sermon that he had received death threats for "agitating the peasants against the armed forces and the large farmers."

Looking For A New Way To Raise Funds

WHAT CAN SHE DO TO HELP?

What Jobs Can My Young Children Do? By Dr. Jim and Mary Kenny

Dear Mary: I have two pre-school children who are just begtimmg to help IlI'OUDd the house. Could you suggest some jobs that young ehildren can do, also ways to get them to be helpful? A. Learning to work is important for children. It not only contributes to the running of the household, but, more importantly, it gives them a good selfimage, a sense of being capable, independent persons. From about the age of 3, they can learn to do simple jobs which satisfy their urge for independence. The famous educator of the young child, Marie Montessori, incorporated "lessons in practical life" into her education of the pre-schooler. Her principles are helpful to the mother working with her 'Own child, and I am indebted to her for many of the following ideas: I) Teach children to do real jobs. Do not pretend they are working. Do not hover over them or redo the job as soon as they are out of sight. Such behavior is demeaning to their dignity as capable persons. Instead, select a job within the child's capability. 2) Simplify jobs to bring them within the child's capability. For example, bed making can be made easy. Use a contour sheet on the mattress, and on top, use quilt or comforter. No top sheet, blanket or bedspread is necessary. In the morning the child straightens the comforter neatly on the bed, and it's made. With this method a child can learn to make his bed around the age of 4. Use your ingenuity to apply this principle of simplifying to other tasks. 3) Whenever possible, build in aids to help the child doa job independently. For example, when a child is learning to set the table, use a paper placemat on which you draw each part of the table setting. Using this model the child can correctly set each place at the table by himself. A real drawback in the kitchen is that counters and appliances are scaled for adult size.

Get a sturdy non-tip!";n": ~*'p stool, light enough for the child to move around by himself, thus permitting him to work at sink or stove. 4) Teach a new job by demonstrating each step carefully. Montessori insisted that her teachers practice a task over and over step-by-step in order to demonstrate it correctly to young children. In teaching, use a minimum of words, but demonstrate the action clearly. The child will learn by imitation. While young children love to "help mommy;" they usually need mommy working right beside them. Although the actual helpfulness of this method may seem slight, do not ignore or refuse it. The child will work more and more independently as he gets older. Specific jobs that pre-school . children can do include dusting, bed making, and setting and clearing the table. Shining shoes and polishing silver are jobs which four-and-five-year-olds love. Since water is popular with pre-schoolers, washing painted furniture or dishes are also possibilities. Again, select a job within the child's capability, and demonstrate exactly how to do it including getting out and putting away equipment. Primary school children can also learn to sweep, vacuum and clean the bathroom. Picking up clutter is an endless job in households with young children. Pre-school and primary school children can be genuinely helpful here. However, if you place a young child in a totally cluttered room with the instructions, ",pick up this mess," he is almost certain to be overwhelmed. (Aren't you?) Help your child out by breaking the t~sk down to manageable size. Assign one part of the job at a time. "Ellen, you pick up all the dolls and doll clothes and put them in this box. Jamie, you get all the plastic animals and men and put them in this box." Stepby-step the task gets finished. Many steps in food preparation can be shared by young children. Scrubbing vegetables is popular and frequently children can help with slicing and grat-

ing. Three-~no'l-fo"r-:vear-olds might slice bananas using a table knife. Six-and-seven-year-olds can learn to use a paring knife. Always select a not-too-difficult slicing task and demonstrate the safe way to cut. When your child does a task correctly, be sure to notice and praise his efforts. Capable children are a genuine help, and they are making important strides in growing up. In helping them become competent and independent you are performing one of your most important tasks as a parent. Reader questions on family living and child care are invited. Address to The Kennys, c/o The Anchor, P.O. Box 7, Fall River, Mass. 02722.

Bishops Speak On Quebec Issue Although no date has been set for a proposed referendum on whether Quebec should become a separate nation, interest in the issue heated up in Canadian church circles as one of the country's leading bishops asked that the decision be made with "considered judgment and the avoidance of rash action." Archbishop G. Emmett Carter of Toronto, past president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, made that plea as an ecumenical group circulated a nationwide petition telling the people of Quebec that the rest of Canada wants and needs them. Bishop Remi J. De Roo of Victoria, British Columbia, added a new perspective to the issue when he called for increased sensitivity to other Canadian minorities. including Eskimos and Indians. The predominantly Frenchspeaking Province of Quebec is currently governed by the' separatist ,parti Quebececois, which oould call a referendum at any time. Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has said he will honor referendum results, but polls indicate that only about 20 percent of the citizens of Quebec would favor total separation from Canada.

NC NEWS

By Father Alfred McBride

It took some years for Cath-

olic Europe to appreciate the role of American Catholics in a free and democratic society. In many ways the United States was both the heir of the 16thcentury Protestant Reformation and the 18th-century Age of Reason. It would seem to Rome then that American Catholics would need to resist both Protestant domination from above (in the government) and humanist subversion from below (in the culture). Just as Rome took a vigorous stand against modernish (rationalist critiques of revelation and religion), so it worried about what is believed was its trans atlantic counterpart, Americanism. The issue was dramatized by (1) freedom of religion, which seemingly led to religious indifferentism in the long run; (2) the rise of the Knights of Labor, which from' a distance seemed to have the anti-clerical, atheistic tone of European labor movements; (3) the John Ireland controver-sy about church schools;

which seemingly was bent. on giving the secular state control of all education. Roman fears began with the appointment of the first Amer,can bishop, John Carroll. Among his first requests (refused by Rome) were (1) the right of Americans to elect their own bishof'S and (2) the right to use the ve:naculal' in liturgy. These democratic inrerventions seemed like a cloud on the horizon. Six years after the 1884 Council of Baltimore's decision abollt Catholic schools, Archbishcp Ireland urged that the Americen church should lend strong sT.nport to the American public school system. His idea was thlt if Catholics encouraged the proper growth of public schools, the state would look favorably on Catholic schools as well. He was not against Catholic schoo.s, but for creating a climate of mutual and helpful acceptance between Catholic and pub..ic schools. He found an eloquent ally in Catholic University's .Fatl:er Thomas BO\iquelon, a moral theologian, who wrote a paper in 1891 entitled, "Catholic Ec.ucation: To Whom Does It. Belong?" His answer: To parents, to church, to state. The Ireland position (along with J3ouquelon) seemed to Rome to be yet another example of Americanism that needed to be blocked. In this case Rome had many American allies among the bishops and the Ireland cause basically failed, even though recognition of state's rights eventually prevailed.

Still, it must be said that ~:he church's basic fears were legitimate. Americanism did contain the seeds of anti-religious humanism that would, if left anchecked and unresisted, undermine the faith of American Catholics. The growth of the power of a secular state co.lld very well hamper the legitimate aspirations of religion. And far more deadly, the rise of a secular culture could easily erode and subvert religion from within. As the history of the 20th century has unfolded, it can be seen that secularism is by no means an American phenomenon. Its worldwide prevalence chaRlenges people of Christian faith to be far more serious about their free and willing acceptance of Christ when both state and eulture conspire to create a hostile environment.

Vatkan II's "Gaudium et Sj:es" notes this and asks Christians to dialogue with the secular ,:ulture in order to open non路religious humanists to the beauty of Christ, and in tum to take note of their legitimate ideals. The mood should not be of warfare, but of a searching c.;>mmunity of People of good will.

. The Carrolls of Maryland

By Father John J. Castelot

COLMAN McCARmY

ADisturber By Charles N. Coneoni There is a house for homeless men in Washington, D.C. with a room named in honor of a Washington }>lost columnist and editorial writer, Colman McCarthy. - "I'm enshrined in a poor house. Now that's a lasting reward," the tall, slender, almost gaunt McCarthy laughs. "It will always be there, long after I am gone." While McCarthy's colleagues write mostly about the machinations of politics and government, he produces sensitive, incisive essays about profound thinkers from other centuries or about his "disturbers of the peace" those fools among us who for reasons often unknown to themselves say, "I will not be pushed another step." And they battle with big government and industry trying to get a giant corporation to build safe school buses; they fight for standards that would prohibit a clothing manufacturer from selling flammable children's clothing; they oppose strip mining operations that gouge and destroy a West Virginia community. These "disturbers of the peace," whom McCarthy has memorialized in a book of essays with that title, fight because there is nothing else they can do. McCarthy understands that kind of person and the moral indignation and courage it requires to stand up to impossible odds. He tells their stories with unique compassion and humantty. Because he writes sensitively about ordinary people whose ambitions are not self-aggrandizement and political power, his reporting stands out dramatically. Turn to Page Thirteen

Difficult though the going was for Catholics in Colonial days, distinguished Catholic . three gentlemen contributed to the establishment of both the United States and the church in America - the Carrolls of Maryland. Charles was born in 1737 in Annapolis. His father had fled religious persecution in England only to find it in Maryland. As a result, he lost his attorney general's commissi9n and a~y chance to participate in political activities. Undaunted, he built up the greatest fortune in the colonies. Young Charles was sent with his cousin John to the clandestine Jesuit school, Bohemia Manor Academy, then to the English Jesuit College of St. Orner in French Flanders. Charles pursued legal studies in France and England for 16 years and returned to Annapolis in 1768. A series of controversial articles in the Maryland Gazette, in which he defended the rights of the people against government measures, brought him to favorable public attention. He attended the first Continental Congress as an unofficial consultant, fearing that his religion would weaken his influence as a delegate. Charles was chosen along with John, now a Jesuit priest, to accompany :Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Chase on an unsuccessful mission to win over the French Canadians to the American position. In 1776, he was elected to Congress. And he affixed his signature to the Declaration of Independence. Daniel Carroll's career paralleled his cousin Charles' career in many ways. Daniel entered politics in 1777. He fought for democracy in ultra-conservative Maryland and held several state and national offices. Among other things, he was a delegate to the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention, and was one of the two Catholic signers of the Constitution. He made important contributions to governnrent, the cause of human dignity and of religious freedom. Father John Carroll, after filling teaching posts in Europe and being arrested by the Austrians when the Society of Jesus was dissolved in 1773, returned, upon his release in 1774, to Maryland. He took part in the aforementioned diplomatic mission to Canada. This journey resulted in a lasting friendship " with Franklin. He built a little chapel on Daniel's property and opened a mission station in Virginia. In 1784, at Franklin's recommendation, he was officially appointed head of the missions in the United States. ' John was kept busy defending the rights of Catholic citizens against persisrent attacks and,

on Sept. 17, 1784, was named first bishop of the. first diocese in the country, Baltimore. He worked untiringly to establish smooth church-state relations, visiting the retired President Washington and preaching his eulogy at St. Peter's in Baltimore. As the country grew, so did his responsibilities to the scattered Catholic population. Fortunately he was an administrative genius, and the organization he set up proved a solid foundation for the future growth of the American church. In 1802 he received permission to establish the dioceses of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Bardstown, Ky. These sees were created in 1808 and he was named archbishop, receiving the pallium in 1811, by which time he saw the need for new dioceses in Florida and Louisiana. His activity in promoting education, both religious and secular, was prodigious. Keeping pace with this was his fostering of religious foundations and orders. John Carroll possessed all of those qualities of mind, heart and soul which make for dynamic, effective leadership.

Police Marriage By Father Joseph Champlin Life is difficult for Bob King, a 20-year veteran of the Philadelphia police force. Cops are often contemporary society's bad guys, the hatchet men who break up fights, give tickets and arrest offenders. Less and less do they stand on corners and give directions to the confused or comfort the crippled. Lt. King has for two decades witnessed the seedy side of life, yet he stays on because he likes to help people. Despite the hideous scenes and hurtful calumnies, King recalls six babies he delivered in police vans, many emergency trips to hospitals, an infant named after him by grateful parents, juvenile offenders now on the straight and narrow largely through his efforts. Until four years ago, Bob kept his burdens and even most of his joys to himself. He would return from work drained and distressed by the sight of a battered baby, of young children on a bug-infested bed, of a butchered adult body. His wife, Ann, could read the pain in her husband's face, but solicitous inquiries brought no response. He chose to suffer in Turn to Page Thirteen

A Disturber Continued from Page Twelve "I like to pursue subjects that a lot of the pack in Washington do not want or cannot get near," McCarthy explains, pointing out that he discovered last winter that the president's nearest neighbors were homeless, destitute men who slept on heating vents near the Corcoran Art Gallery. "And a few blocks away are abandoned houses owned by the city government. You don't need a powerful intellect to put those two grim realities next to each other. Why can't abandoned housing be turned over to the homeless?" McCarthy raised that question on the Pot's editorial pages and was told his columns were a factor in seeing that housing was made available for those men. "I don't believe that all the news stories to be fresh have to happen today. Sometimes the news from the fifth century can be startingly new if you've never read Saint Benedict; from the sixth century if you've read the poetry of Columba of Iona; or just 40 years ago, in the essays of Claude McKay. "A lot of readers' nerve ends are rubbed a bIt raw by the constant friction of great events coming out of Washington. Something soothing like a column on children and religious values or a discussion of ways to share the wealth . . . " The thought is allowed to drift uncompleted. "When a reader pays 15 cents, he is paying for his daily outrage and it's the role of a good journalist to suggest things for him to get mad about. "I'm often accused of being a cynic," he continued, "but how can I be a cynic if I still believe that government can work, moral values can be spread and social justice can be achieved? It is the people who are hung upon big results who wear out the quickest in Washington." The roots of his philosophy, he said, come from his country lawyer father who represented immigrants and the "voiceless poor." And, he added, he learned the value of solitude and not being afraid to be alone from the

five years he spent in a Trappist monastery in Georgia, an intellectual experience from which he is still drawing. "Serving that group of voiceless poor, the largest group we have on the planet, would be a useful and happy vocation, he said. It is a sticky comment to make, but it is made matter-offactly, without vainglorious piety or self-righteousness. "Service to others is really the crucial idea."

Police Marriage Continued from Page Twelve silence and for the first dozen years of their marriage, she felt closed out of his professional life. This pattern shifted when they made a Marriage Encounter, a weekend experience offering spouses a crash course in communication. After the 44-hour program they found themselves in a new and better world. "Before, I really didn't think Ann was strong enough to handle the heavy feelings I had after a difficult day on the job. After our Marriage Encounter I discovered how much strength she had. I also understood better some of her difficulties at home." "·Bob would come home obviously upset by what had happened on the force that day. I wanted to share his pain, but he wouldn't talk about it. That made me feel not part of his life," said Ann. Now she grasps quite keenly the stress a police officer's life places on marriage. The 40 percent divorce rate for law enforcement personnel is not surprising, given the risks, temptations, and depressing aspects of human nature they witness or suffer. The situation calls for extra support systems, especially that of a close marital life with extremely open, loving communication, such as the Kings are striving for. They wanted others to benefit from their experience so despite their busy lives, they have served as a presenting couple on , 14 Marriage Encounter weekends since their own session four years ago.

focus on youth .•. By Charlie Martin

By Cecilia Belanger Some laypersons don't have enough confidence in themselves and in God. They seem to fail in the realm of the spirit, where the new self is created, the self that isn't afraid, the self that dares do what. it never would have attempted before because it has met Christ's spirit, has seen it. for the redemptive gift that it is, and has gone on from here to do great things. A steady and unrelenting gaze on a crucifix will lift one on high' so that one seems alone with Christ. You focus on that one peak in in your life and from it you can overlook the whole of the countryside. Ask Him, "What do I do next?" Don't ask some person who is more confused than you! Remember, the New Testament forms' a singleminded witness to one Man and he towers as a rugged, lonely beacon, even as He moved easilyand still moves - among the people. God has trained us in so many ways to understand what He wants us to do. Everything isn't written in books. There are things written in the heart, things that the eye and ear see and hear, things one feels. Techniques and methods are not always needed, for these may tend to dull the ability to make

Today 38 ambitious eighth grade graduates conclude participation in the new iBishop Feehan High School Readiness Program. For the past three weeks they have met at the Attleboro school for three hours daily except Fridays, reviewing and practicing basic skills in reading, language and mathematics under direction of Feehan faculty members. In each academic area, there was one teacher and one assistant teacher, conducting small classes geared to the individual student. Most of the youngsters intend to enter Feehan in September, but registration was not limited to prospective Feehanites. Each student in the program was given placement tests in the three· areas to determine specific needs. Those whose weaknesses were in only one or two areas concentrated on those; others worked in all areas. In addition to the academic instruction, an integral part of the course was a series of orientation sessions introducing students to Feehan extra-curricular, athletic, academic, social, disciplinary, and spiritual programs. Among the guests who addressed the students were viceprincipal Paul O'Boy, Sister Regina Coughlin, gUidance department chairman, Edward Gagnon of the English and physical edu-

responded to someone in that kind of need? And when we accept these people we must make sure they are not accepted as charitable objects but as someone for whose presence we are grateful. We must meet people at the point of their suffering, their weakness, their strength, their concerns - and in their secular integrity. To push people aside as if they were of no account, not to listen to them, is to deny the Lordship of Christ.

cation departments and Rev. George Bellenoit, newly-appo :nted school chaplain. Response to the program was positive. "Since this is its first year, we are naturally anxious to note its effect on the indi'lidual stl.:.dent's secondary scho:>l," stated Sister Mary Noel, program director. "The boys lnd girls appear to be pleased with their progress, and the teachers have remarked on the deve.opment of students and their assimilation of concepts when they are met on a personal basis and are enoouraged to work on t leir weaknesses."

During the freshman year, there wHl be a study of students who participated in the ·program. Although no credit was given for attendance, notification of participation together with a record of achievement will be S<lnt to each student's high school. Impetus for the Feehan program came from faculty experience of the difficulty sore students encounter in moving from a small elementary school to a large secondary school. In schools such as Feehan, where students come from a broad geographi:: area and many elementary schools, social adjustment mu;;t also be considered. Academically such change is more difficut for students without a good grasp of fundamentals. "If a boy or girl can weather the first quarter of high school with a feeling of belonging and a sense cf academic success, he or she is well on the way to a' happy and profitable secondary school career. Through the High School Readiness Program, we hope to help students toward this goal," said Sister Mary Noel.

Written by Carly Simon and Mike McDonald, Sung by Carly Simon, (c) 1978, Elektra Records "You Belong To Me" is Carly Simon's latest single, released off her new album, "Boys In The Trees."· The melody is pleasant. Fun to dance to and good listening as well. Carly Simon's light, soft voice is just right. The title speaks of a type of possessiveness distinctly different from commitment. Commitment holds ~any meanings. In a permanently committed relationship like marriage, it includes a decision in alternatives: a specific person is chosen and a goal is established to support, care for and challenge this person through all steps of life's journey. An important aspect of authentic commitment is its origin in freedom. The commitment in love is the promise to keep on giving heyond the type of response received. Love never forces, but rather invites the other to a further emotional closeness. Possession is different. Its 0 rigin is insecurity and a need to hold on to another. In a love relationship it stifles the growth of real love, for it inhibits the presence of trust. One spends so much energy trying to "make sure" that the other loves win, that little energy remains for the dialogue and giving that help a relationship grow. Jealousy is a natural byproduct of a possessive relationship, and keeps the real commitment from becoming deeper. At times, all of us are jealous, for few of us are perfectly secure in our inner selves. But growing love relationship can integrate such feelings into the dialogue between the people. There is a big difference between taking the risk of admitting to another how one' feels and trying to manipulate another's behavior. Admitting how you feel toward someone is an act of love; trying to force someone to love you is possession. Listening closely to the words of "You Belong to Me" invites us to examine what love is and to understand that it is never possible to possess anyone.

Wedding Gifts Were for Others SEATTLE, Wash. (NC) Wedding bells pealed conventionally for John and Sylvia Dillon, but the gifts struck an unusual note. A postscript on the handwritten wedding invitations sent out by the Tacoma, Wash., couple read: "Because we have been richly blessed, we ask that if you wish to give a gift, that it be in the form of a donation to Catholic Relief Services." Close friends were not sur-

prised by the request because John and Sylvia, both 27, have regularly contributed to charity instead qf buying gifts on holidays and similar occasions. The result of the Dillons' special consideration for tJte less fortunate overseas was a total of $635 in donations to Catholic Relief Services. John ana Sylvia were both teachers in the Seattle parochial school system. Next y.~ar they will work in Pullman, Wash.

The health of the 80-year-old pontiff seems to have improved considerably since last spring when ~ serious case of the flu prevented him' from leading Rome's Holy Week services for the first time since he became pope.

'Test Tube Baby' Continued from Page One the case of 32-year-old Lesley Brown, who is to give birth shortly to a child not conceived in her womb. The test technique is designed for women who cannot conceive because of obstruction in the fallopian tubes that carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. In Mrs. Brown's case, a sperm from her husband was used to fertilize her egg in a test tube containing a culture medium. After four days, the fertilized egg was inserted into Mrs. Brown's womb where it was apparently grown like a normally implanted egg. Mrs. iBrown and her husband, a 38-year-old truck driver, have been married nine years. Dr. Hellegers said the designation of the child as a "test tube baby" when it only spent the first four days of its existence in a test tube indicates that a determination of when life begins has been made. In that light, he said, the Supreme Court's statements in its abortion rulings that no one knows when life begins are "absurcL" The physician said the Catholic Church's ethical system, and perhaps that of Orthodox Judaism, are the only ones wHich have consistently opposed procedures that externalize birth processes. Most are not opposed to artificial insemination, he said. Another moral problem raised by the ease is that it requires masturbation to obtain the male sperm for the process. The church's opposition to masturbation would not be changed by the test tube situation, he added. English Comment :In England, however, Britain's largest Catholic weekly has called on the church to make an authoritative statement on the morality of procedures involved in conception of the baby. The editor of the Universe began his front-page lead article: "Conflicting views by individual church leaders and theologians on the new 'test tube' baby technique mean that the church will have to make an authoritative statement on the matter - and soon."

The procedure was condemned by Bishop Gerard McClean of Middlesborough, who said it falls among actions covered by Pope Pius XII's condemnation of artificial insemination. "It is not the conception of a child as nature intended, and I am opposed to it," Bishop McClean said. On the other hand, the paper quoted Bishop Coroelius Lucey of Cork, Ireland, as saying: "Offhand, I don't see anything wrong, with childless couples using the test tube method if there is no other possible way for them to have babies." The Universe found a similar divergence among moral theologians. Capuchin Father Pius Smart of St. John's Seminary in Wonersh, Surrey, recalled the condemnation of artificial insemination but commented that the moral implications of a test tube baby had never had to be considered seriously because such a conception and birth had never before been successfully achieved. In an article specially written for the Universe, Jesuit Father John Mahony, principal of Heythrop College, London, analyzed the arguments that Pope Pius had brought against fertilization 'in vitro' (in a test tube) in 1956. He cited counter-arguments that seemed to leave the question open. An Anglican expert, Dr. R. J. Berry, professor of genetics at London University and a member of the Church of England's General Synod, outlined three main ethical problems in a statement issued by the (Anglican) Church Information Office: that of interference with natural processes, that of' the limits to which one could take interference without causing dehumanization, and that of the use of resources. On the third problem he asked: "How much resource can you justify putting into a single sterile woman when babies can be obtained in other ways? And how do you cope with the mistakes - if a deformed baby ~ was produced, what would happen to it and whose fault would it be?"
