Olympi,cs peace model, says pope VATICAN CITY ~C) - The Olympic games are impoJltant not only for athletes but for the future of the world because they show cooperation and under standing, says Pope John Pool II. In a telegram sent to Cardinal Timothy Manning of Los An geles on the eve of the games, the pope blessed everyone con nected with the Olympics. "I ask you to convey my cor dial greetings and good wishes to all ·the organizers, partici pants and spectators," the pope said. "This great event has sig nificance not only for the world of sport as the expression of friendly athletic competition and the striving for human excel lence but also for the future of ,the human community, which through sport gi~s external ex pression to the desire of all for universal cooperation and under standing. "I offer my heartiest congratu lations ·to the men and women who are representing their coun tries, and I hope that at this worldwide encounter they wHl _be worthy models of peaceful harmony and human fellowship." The Vatican newspaper, L'0s servatore Romano, in a front page editorial ,last week said that despite ,legi,timate concerns over commercialization and po litical exploItation~ the games can be an example of interna tional peace. "The cold winds of mistmst, fear and misunderstanding can not put out the flame of youths in celebra,tion," the newspaper said in the editorial signed by an editor, Massimo Carrara. "Their meaning of peace and brotherhood can stil,l overcome ideological barriers and political boundaries." The boycott of the games by the Soviet Union and other coun tires "disappointed the expecta tions and hopes" of many, the editorial said. The edItorial MSO said tha,t "the Olympics !have become, on an organizational .}evel, a big business with gigantic commer cial sponsorship." It added that there is no .longer a distinction between ama,teurism and pro fessionalism in sports. Despite these drawbacks, the editorial said, the Olympics can stiU show ,the modem world the values of honesty, unity and friendship.

"The first Holy Trinity Church was built in Harwich Center in 1866. 'Mass was celebrated there occasionally when the missionary priests travelled the circuit from ,Sandwich or Boston, but the church was seldom <used other wise until Father George F.

"Of all the parishes on Cape Cod, Holy Trinity has the most unusual history. Presently, it is 117 years old and had a resi dent pastor in 1868. It has been a parish 79 years, if we go back to its establishment in 1904 when the diocese of Fall River was es tablished. Lastly, we can and did celebrate 50 years of paro-

NEW YORK (NC) - Reports that Mother Teresa will undergo eye surgery in PJttsburgh have 'been denied. Sister PrisciUa Lewis, Ameri-, can superior of the Missionaries, of CharIty, " has denied il!he re ports in a telegram" to St. Francis Medical Center in Pitts burgh, according to a press reo aease from the order's legal counsel in New York.
WASHINGTON (NC) - Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, D-N.Y., the Democratic 'vice presiilentill'l candidate, said she will join run· ning mate Walter F. Mondale in opposing tuition tax credits, de spite her previous support for the Jegislation.
"St. Francis Medical Center officials had said that Mother Teresa, 73-year-Old Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Missionaries of Charity, would have surgery 'at the hospital at an undetermined time for re. movatl of cataracts.
"Fritz Mondale and I disagree on the issue of tuition tax cred its. But as his vice president, I will support whatever position he takes on that particular issue. It is his judgment that that is not the direction to go, and I ~would support his position," she said.
Hospital spokeswoman Marti Walsh said July 30 that the medical center was awaiting a letter from Mother Teresa to reo :solve conflictiflg statements about the surgery.
Father Thomas G. Galilagher, U.S. Catholic Conference secre tary for education, said that Ms. Ferraro's change in her position , on tuition tax credits win help preserve "the. helliSh cycle of povellty for those who see no way out of it except through the eduation they choose for them selves and for their children." He said Ms. Ferraro's p~vious support for tax credits had of· fered "a beacon of hope" in the Democratic Party. Ms. Ferraro had been a tuition tax credit bilI cosponsor in the House.
Ms. Walsh said the hospital had received a telegram July 19 from Mother Teresa's eye doctor in C8'lcutta, Dr. H. M. Shaw, who said that cataract surgery was to be performed by Dr. Chandrappa S. Reshmi, aft Indian-born surgeon on the Pitts burgh hospital's staff.

By Brother Robert Michaud, FlC A man of many talents is Brother David J. Touchette, a Brother of Christian Instruotion who has been teaching in the. Fall River diocese for the ~ast 17 years and who tomorrow will 'be celebrating his 60th anniver sary of religious life in Platts burgh, NY. 'Brother David has been teach ing physics and mathematics at Bishop ConnolJy High School since 1972. After Msgr. Prevost High was razed by fire, Brother moved to the Jesuit institution where he has been devoting many hours to his students year after year. It was no easy task to re turn to fulltime teaching after having been the first provincial of the Notre Dame district of his community from 1946 to 1955 and master of novices from 1955 to 1967. In ,these positions he ~earned that there was more to being a religious superior than caring for a group of religious men. He planned the building of houses and supervised construotion of a chapel-dining hall complex in Alfred, Maine, a former Shaker village and now motherhouse for the Brothers of Christian In struction. Foremost among his contributions was the launching of LaMennais College in Canton, Ohio, in 1951. First a teacher training school for ~e brothers, it soon became Walsh CoHege, a 'liberal arts institution directed and staffed by brothers.

Family
Statistics tell us that more Americans are spending
more hours ~ front of their TV sets. Television influences
all ages, from the cartoon set to the oldest soap opera en
thusiasts.
From its outset, television has not been kind to the
family. Iil most instances it has portrayed men as some
what inept and bungling and family life in general has
been played for laughs. Except for· a few shows ·such
as "I Remember Mama" and "Father Knows Best," which
presented family life in a posi~ve light, stereotyping was
negative. -
Portrayals of women as featherheaded housewives,
of the elderly as helpless and confused, of members of
minorities as either comic figures Qr of lower socioecon
omic status carry subtle or not-so-subtle messages about
these groups. It should not be surprising that organizations
representing them have loudly and publicly complained
that false images are being conveyed to the viewer and
that changes should be made. .
In general, on the most simplistic level, the upshot
of all this is that if you want to find models for healthy
creative family life, television provides rather few ex
amples.
. All this of course is without consideration of the
soaps and now their evening counterparts such as "Dallas,"
which deride, and corrode family values at every level
from the young to the elderly.
In addition to all this, families must now deal with
cable, especially the so-called movie channels, whose lang
uage, violence and nudity seem to be exceeded only by the manic~depressive nature of MTV. Unfortunately, in this cOUIitry no leisure time activity has ever matched the time and attention cQmmanded by" television. The statistics -are impressive. First, Americans I have more home TVs than any other majo'r appliance. Over 98 percent of our homes have sets, with half of them havirig two or more. In the average home, TV is turned. on almost eight hours a day. And we have all heard that by the time a child has graduated from high school he or she will have spent more time. in front of the TV than in a formal class room; As a result of all this, families spend less time with one another. Interaction and communication are often 're~uced to mere grunts and groans. Child behavior prob lems are- becoming more and more aggravated, with vio lence the ultimate outcome. Too much free time in front of the TV simply dehumanizes individuals. There is no simple solution to these problems~ No single approach can by itself be maximally effective. It's as wrong to put the entire blame on the industry as it is to say that parents should tum off the switch. Public action' groups have an important place in edu cating parents as well as in admonishing the industry and helping govem~e~t to fulfill its obligations. In the latter instance, all of us can support positive legislation lest freedom become mere license. To date too few have responded to this dire need, too few are leading the way, too few are caring or helping in the slightest to make television a positive influence in family living.

Te,ens who drink
Last week, I wrote about parents, adolescents and v, drinking, focusing on the dilemma of whether it's better to sponsor teen drinking at chaperoned parties, even if it's iilegal, or acknowledge that teenagers 'are likely to drink else where in unchaperoned settings. This week I'd like to talk about one sad result of eady drinking -the teenage alco holic - and what we can do about him or her. In a fine U.S. CathQUc magazine article, "Five Ways Teens Can Help a Friend with a Drinking Problem," Father Joseph Martin says that adolescents can be counselors and concerned friends to friends on the road to alcoholism. "They know who's in trouble," he says of teens. "They desper ately want to do something about ,their classmates who are in 'trouble, but they just don't know how to go about it."

Q. Can Catholics belong to the Klu Klux Klan? We've had some ugly incidents re cently that apparently in volved this organization, and a rumor is. that some members were Catholic. I find that hard to believe but someone told me it's possible. Is it? (Texas) . A. There is no explicit church regwation concerning the Ku Klux ~lan. However, a number of general church laws esta:blish sanctions against CathoHcs who participate in activities for which the Klan has become notorious over the past century - gross crimes against human life and freedom, stirring up hosility against religious leaders for teachings that oppose the teach ings of the Klan, and so on. (Such laws woUld be canons 1373-74, 1397 and others.) The serious problems, to put it mildly, with Ca,tholics joining the Klan are obvious to. anyone who knows its background. The KKK is one of the powerful "native American" organizations which sprang up in the United States after the economic panic of 1819, and as a reaction to the huge immigrations from Eiurope. There have, in fact, been two major Khi KlUx Klan organiza~ tions. The fii'st, formed immedi ately after ,the Civil War, was an enremist white supremacy movement which at one time counted many of the whites in the South as members. Through terror, lynching, torture and other cruelties, the Klan "pro tected" white pepole, and op posed a11 reconstruction efforts of federal and ~ocal govern ments. This KJan finally dis banded about 1877. The second came during and after World War I and was in spired by the economic, political and social breakdofn, and the growing anti-radic~ism and na tionalism of the period. It was openly anti-black, anti-CatholiC, anti-Jew and anti-foreigner, and boasted nearly 5 million members by the mid-1920's. In some areas it wielded enormous political power. Klan power in the Oregon legislature, for example, was re sponsiWe for. the anti-eath?lic school ,law in Oregon, which brought about the famous Ore gon School Case, protecting the right of Catholic parents to pro vide a CathoHc education for their children. As I said, regardless of what laws the church mayor may not have, no one has yet explained how Catholic beliefs and prac tices could co-exist with the policies and activities of the .Klan. Q.

power to admlnlster the sacra ment of matrimony? Is the Cath olic Church acknowledging non Catholic mimsters as equally validly ordaillled as its own priests with the same powers to , administer not only the sacra ment of matlrllmony, but ali the sacraments? . Shouldn't such large cbdges in the churclll's attitude toward other ministers in matters ,that affect aspects of our everyday lives be brought out at church from the pulpit, and not left just ,to the chanee that the right question migha be asked? (Louisi ana) A. In our church, and gener
ally in civil law, people are not married "by" the person officia ting at the wedding. They are married by each other. Thus, in Catholic theology and practice, the priest does not ad minister the sacrament of matri mony; the bride and groom ad minister this sacrament to each other by making and declaring the covenant that unites them as husband and wife. This is clear in the Code of
Canon Law, Which states that
the couple are maTried "in the
presence" of the priest or other
officiating person, and that the
officiating minister "assists" at
,the ceremony (n. 11 08).
As for the second point it
might be helpful to remember
that priests are often unaware
of subjects in which people feel
confused or ill-informed until
they are asked, which is of
course one of the reasons for
this column.
Q. Please explain Ute use of
incense, especllll1ly at funeral
Masses. Why does the priest in
cense the casket? (Pennsylvania)
. A. Burning incense in religious
ceremonies as a symbol of pray
er and worship of God goes back
to ancient times. Pagan religious
rites Inoluded it and it is referr
ed 'to often in Scripture in con
nection with Jewish ceremonies
in Old Testament worship. (See,
foll' example, Exodus 30:34-38)
At first Christians refused Ito
use incense !because of its con
nection with pagan Roman wor
ship, but ,later incense became
quite common, especially at
Mass. It is both a symbol of
prayer to God and of honor to
holy things - which is why tihe
altar, the people, the body of
the deceased at fiuneral Masses,
the Easter candle and other sa
cred objects are often incensed
during our liturgies.

Coyle grad is honored
ROME tNC)-Jesuit Superior General Father ,P~ter-Hans Kol venbach will not make a deci sion in the case of Father Fer nando Cardenal until after con sulting with Jesuit provincia-Is from "Latin America, said Father Johannes Gerhartz, secretary of the Society of Jesus, July 31.
Msgr. R. Donald Kiernan, a
1942 graduate of Coyle High
School, Taunton, now a priest in
the archdiocese of Atlanta, has
been nlimed chaplain to the
Georgia chapter of the. Miilitary
and Hospitaller Order of St. Laz
arus of Jerusalem. .
The order is an inte~ational
fellowship of men and women
dedicated to charity, especiaUy
to the assistance of leper hos
pitals..
It is the latest in many honors
that have come to the. priest who
is described by The Georgia Bul
letin, A·tlanta's archdiocesan
newspaper, as "Atlanta's man of
. many uniforms". because he is chaplain to many police depart ments and has also been chap lain to organizations of both Georgia and international police chiefs.
Father Cardenal has become Nicaragua's minister of educa tion despite being ordered by his superiors to reject the post. The Jesuit superior plans to meet Father Valentin MenendeZ, Jesuit provincial for Central America, and several other Latin American provincials during the first half of August in Santo Do mingo, Dominican Republic, said Father Gerhartz.

Father Doyle Dear Editor: Rev. Edward 'Paul Doyle, O.IP., a Fad-I River native, now of St. Raymond's Church, iProvidence, is a name that is hailed today, especially at the Summit Medi cai Center on North Main Street, Providence. Recently, it was a great and profound emotion for me to assist· the center staff members and others in celebration of his 45th anniversary as a prJest and his seventh year of making rounds at the SummLt, seven days a week, to visit all the needy patients to elevate their spirits. There are some edifying ex traordinary facts about Father DoyJe, a retired U.S. Army Major who served as a chaplain. In reading newspaper articles about him, I particulariy remem ber his account of April 11, 1945, when his army unit took "the town of Nordhousen, a subcamp of BUChenwald, about 60 miles southwest of Bel'lin. It was dawn, and within an hour or ·two of.-taking the town, the unit came upon a scene of horror and tragedy. It was a concentra tion camp . . . Aibsolutely in human, body after body-bones, nothing but bones." When I first met Father Doyle, I had come through a similar. personal horror, an injury to my skuH and my brain. X was not able to communicate with him tlien because I had lost my speech pattern, but I could all least use my . eyes and hands to remove distress and sadness from my tormented world and to find the pe~ so much desired. He was an example to. all who came in contact with him, through his very -lively faith in God's goOdness. : The Summit patients attend ing Mass are elevated to spirit ual heights with Laurie Bolduc's singing. Ms. BoJduc has also been singing weekly with Father Doyle when he offers Mass at St. Patrick's in Somerset. Alice Brickach Pawtucket

Continued from page one work for tlie company that was to makeSandWic!.t glass interna tionaHy famous. ·By 1830 Bishop Benediot Fen· wick of Boston had dedicated a church in Sandwich and Father Peter Connolly had been sent to mil1ister to the entire Cape and Islands. ,Later, one pastor was appoint ed for New Bedford,' Sandwich and Wareham. In 1837 the three towns became missions of New port, R.I.,then the entire Cape returned to the jurisdiction of . the then Boston diocese. In 1848 it was again possible to . send a resident pastor, Father William Moran, to care for Catholics from Rlymouth to Provincetown. Making his head·
quarters in Sandwich, he served 11 Cape Cod missions and also' found time to ~ build a new church in Sandwich. Father Moran's successor, Father Peter Bertoldi, met with CatholiCs .from Harwich and Brewster who were anxious for a church .on the Lower Cape. With ~e aid of Patrick Drum, a zealous worker, money was raised for the first Holy Trinity church building, which was dedi· cated in 1862 and had Father Thomas Sheehan as its first resident pastor. Also an earoly priest at Harwich w.as Father Cornelius O'Connor. Both priests continued ,to serve other Cape and Island communities. Father O'Connor was suc· ceededby Father Cornelius Mc-
Swiney, who sold the Harwich rectory and moved to Woods Hole about 1887, since more Catholics were settling in the latter area. Harwich became a part of St. Joseph's parish in Woods Hole, remaining so u~til 1901, when it was made part of the newly established St. Francis Xavier parish in Hyan nis. . In 1904 FaIl River became..the firSt diocese created by St. Pius X; and the first episcopal de cision of Bishop W.l1'1iam Stang, Fall River's founding hishop, 'was the reestablishment of Holy Trinity parish and appointment of Father George F. Maguire as its pastor. No priest had lived in Har wich since Father McSwiney's
Holy Trinity story, time and the old Holy Trinity churdh was in POOl condition.· Father Maguire arriving in the summer of 1904, found it boast ed one chalice, one set of vest ments, six candelabra, one very old alb, a cincture and a vest ment case. The windows were hanging open, paint was sorely needed and there were no par ish funds to be found. The new pastor lost no time in sprucing up the chwrch and nearby cemetery, aided by the 1abor of parishioners and con tributions from summer visitors. including Colonel Caleb Chase of the Chase & Sanborne Coffee Co. Father Maguire served Harwich and its missions of iBrewster, Dennis, Chatham, Ol11eans, North Eastham, Wellfleet and Truro until 191O.... o1earing off the debt on the Harwich church and erect ing a chapel in Brewster. Dur ing this time he became known as a strong voice on social is sues when he spoke on behalf of a Cape Verdean immigrant to the area who had developed leprosy. Inhabitants panicked, fearing that the disease would spread, and anger was added to fear when they discovered that the . state had secret plans for es tablishing a leper colony in Brewster. In the mfdst of the controversy, ,plans were made to segregate Portuguese child ren 'by building a separate school for them. Father Maguire, who had fearlessly and faithf.ully attend ed to the spiritual needs of the 'leprosy patient and his family, also came forth against the pre judice undel11ying the separate school 'proposal. His stand did not affect the esteem in which he was held. Not only was there much community support !for the various fundTaising events he held for the benefit of Holy Trinity, but in 1906 he was in vited to be baccalaureate speak er for Harwich High School 'graduates. Also by about 1906 the Sa cred Hearts Fathers began their Jong association with Holy Trin ity when priests from Fairhaven assisted Father Maguire by say ing Masses at the various miss ions of ,the Harwich parish. In 1908 Bishop Feehan, the successor to Bishop Stang, first, visited Harwich and its missions. He realized then that Father Maguire's task was ,too much for one person, but it was nOt untH 1910 that he was able to alleviate the situation. At that time Father Maguire was appointed pastor of St. Pat rick's parish, Somerset, and Bishop Feehan aske4 the Sacred Hearts Fathers to send some priests to what was called "the Cape Cod mission." Father Robert Jansen, SS.CC., came briefly ,to Harwich, but soon moved to Wellfleet, where there were more Cathol.k:s. Holy Trinity once more became a mission, this time of OW' Lady of LoureJes Church, Wellfleet. Father Jansen was fol'lowed in 1911 by Father' Hilarion Eiker Jing, SS.ce., an energetic man who quickly built a church and

The stifling.' desire for comfort By Antoinette Bosco As I write, I am trying' to de· cide whether to' attend a week end'Conference in New York. I have been planning to go, .wantingto aearn something new,' heM the viewpoints of others and share ideas with fellow partici pants. On the other hand, getting to that conference would require more time, energy, money and· discomfort than I really want to expend at this moment. To be at the WorJd Trade Center by 9 a.m. on a Saturday means I have to get· on a bus' to New York Friday evening after a tiring week of work; stay in my son's apartment and forego my morning' shower for a bath - he only has a bathtub; deal with New York cabs; and try to make it back to my Connecti cut home by sometime late Sat urday night. So what will my choice be · to grasp the opportunity to learn something new' or to stay home and get my weekend chores done in an orderly manner, without risking weekend fatigue' that wilJ mean greeting Monday al ready tired? Making decisions is not easy. Yet, I know the real reason underlying my dilemma. What I realJy want to avoid is discom fort. Going to the conference in volves a ,lot. of discomfort. What is of more value to me; learning something new or remaining comfortable? I don'.t think)'m &aone in that dilemma. I've been involved in
t09 many projects, issues and causes· in my ilife not to know that there's something universal in our quest for comfort: We can 'come up with all kinds of crea tive excuses for this, but we pay a price: we give up exploring the worJd, learning and. of,ten, aov· ing. Not long ago I wrote a story on a psychologist who works with ,agaraphobia victims. These are people, mainly women, who have a patholological fear of moving beyond the boundaries they have set for themselves. For many, theSe boundaries are the walls of their homeS. Others will travel a radius of a few blocks. AId !have anxiety attacks in varying degrees of severity if they" move beyond what they see their walls of safety. A strong contributing factor in ~eir. disability is the fear of discomfort. They stay confined
because it is safe. They accept a sterility of experience as the price ,of ·comfort. I remember a saying from the women's movement: ''You can fly, but first the cocoon has to go." The cocoon.is comfort. Fay ing is a risk and uncomfortable. But in the cocoon, confinemeqt .prevents growth. Only by Ilying can one soar to the heavens.' Jesus expressed the same mes sage Jong ago when he said that the seed must die. So long as we remain imprisoned in the com fortable seed itself, the more abundant new life we all should have remains dormant and

galley A RESTAURANT REVIEW
Do you like informal dining in our area? Well, take yourself to Little Compton. Two restaurants should not be overlooked if you decide on a ride in the country. Manchester's in Adamsville and Crowther's (more difficult to find) are in more ways than one good bets for an enjoyable evening meat, This week we will focus on Man chester's, the older of the two and possessing the more access ible location. (Yet if one reaHy wants to go to a specific restau rant, location seemingly is the least of obstacles.) Manchester's has been abl.e to keep much of its charm. The lounge area is a watering hole for the :locals, who know a good thing when they see it. All cock tails served straight up come with a pony 'on the side, a great value in today's refreshment market, where things are quite out of control. You really get good value with your before dinner drink at Manchester's. The dining room offers its own informal ambience, with blue and white checked cloths adorn ing well-spaced tables. The menu
v
is varied and extensive with very good daily speci&s. The seafood is fresh and the vegetable selection ,more than sufficient. There are various Italian dishes and appetite-pleasing combina tions. Children's portions are also offered. And if you felt like it, you could' make a nice meal just on appetizers. Dollarwise, Manchester's prices are sane, even in the sum mer season. The restaurant is open every day of the year and does not take advantage of va cationers. Specials can be had for as Uttle as $4.50. The wine !leleotion is Hmited but adequate, featuring what else' but local Sakonnet vintages (another story in itself)~ What is nice about Manches ter's is that dts informality is not hampered by a staff ~at wants to rush you through your ~eal. The waitresses are inter ested in being of service. All in all, if you want a nice evening of easy and 'low-key dining enjoyment, drive to AdamsviLle and share the am bience of Manchester's.

To those leaning toward the first option, the bishops have much' to say. Just because gov ernment calls, this doesn't mean that military actions it contem plates are morally 'legitimate. In fact, the bishops are strongly cr.itical of some military strate gies, especially the use of nu clear weapons. Whether a person refuses mili tary service because of commit ment toa nonviolent way of re solving conflicts, or because of the conviction. of the practical ,impossiJbility of today's military service being moral, the person's conscientious refusal is' praised by the Bishops: "We see many deeply sincere individuals who, far' from being indifferent or apathetic to wodd evils, believe strongly in conscience that they are best 'defending true peace by refusing to bear arms."

Last year's pastoral letter from the U.S. bishops, "The Ohallenge of Peace," elevated conscientious objection to a mainstream position for Cath olics. The bishops' position is based on what they call a realistic view of today's world. "The view is stark: ferocious new means of warfare threatening savagery surpassing that of the past, de- ceit, subversion, territorism, genocide." In the face of such threats they say: "The Christian has no choice but to defend peace, propeI1Iy understood, against ag gression." The Christian must defend peace. The Christian must defend people, defend them against aggression. The moral ~andate of defense is clear. The Bishops say we have two morally legitimate options for defense: (1) limited use of force, and (2) nonviolence. This translates into military service (with restraint), and con scientious objection coupled with peaceful defense. The Bishops acknowledge that the military approach, ca1led the just-war teaching, has domina ted Christian thought. for the last 1,500 years. But now, in what they call this "new mo ment," when. a completely fresh appraisal of war is called for, Brothers College, Mempb1s. nonviolence emerges as a highly . praised alternative.
