NC News service

With diplomacy and heavy fighting rivaling each other in intensity as the Lebanese crisis neared the end of its second month, Pope John Paul II has im plored an immediate solution which would bring peace "in the martyred land of Lebanon." '~During the most recent days, it seems that a light is shining at the end of the tunnel," said the pope from his summer resi dence at Castelgandolfo, Italy. The pope said he suffered at the news that the fighting has produced "so many dead and wOunded; pain and privation in the city of Beirut." He asked prayers "in order that, as soon as possible, an accord among the parties may be achieved and realized." "These are decisive moments for peace in the martyred land of 1.ebanon; the road will still be long and full of obstacles, but it is possible to look to the fu ture with souls ·more open to hope," he said. On the same day the pope spoke, however, the eighth cease fire -since the Israeli invasion of June 6 was smattered. A 14 hour Israeli bombardment left 200 people dead and 400 wound ed, according to Lebanese police. The Voice of Lebanon, a station operated by suporters of Israel, said that PLO attacks caused the death of 14 civilians and wound ed 40. The continual breachings of cease-fires by both sides indica ted that finding a lasting solu tion was still elusive, fragile and complex. Part of the problem is that neither Israel nor the PLO nego tiate directly with each other. The United States has been the principal mediator but cannot directly talk to the PLO because the United States refuses to rec ognize the PLO until the PLO unquivocally recognizes the right of the state of Israel to exist. The result is that U.S. mediator Philip Habib talks di rectly with Israel, then presents proposals to a Lebanese inter mediary. The intermediary gives them to the PLO and then re turns the PLO counterproposals to Habib who discusses them with Israel.

(NC) To the rousing cheers of the Knights of Columbus, President Reagan Aug. 3 extolled the works of the Catholic fraternal organization ancilcalled on Con gress to approve both tuition tax credits and legislation restrict ing abortion. Interrupted by applause about 30 times, Reagan told the Knights' cent~nnial convention in Hartford he shared their- re ligious and family values. He also called for an amend ment to the Constitution on school prayer and for "a world~ wide crusade for freedom and global campaign for democracy." The loudest applause came when Reagan told a crowd of 12,000 in the Hartford Civic Center that "if it is true we do not know when the unborn be comes a human life, then we have to opt in favor that it is a human life until someone proves it isn't." He also drew loud applause when his speech turned to the tuition tax credit issue. Just that morning, he told his audience, Sen.

The second half of the 19th century was a time of inventiyeness and industrial expansion. What we today take for granted burst at that time upon the life of man with exPlosive force. From the Rudolf Diesel engine to Charles Goodyear's process of tire vulcanization, the world was launched into the turmoil of industry and transporta tion. The dramatic changes of this period revolutionized man's life on the planet. Man beca,me mobile. In the sweep of human movements millions of• immiI ' grants came to this America from Europe to' seek the promises of the New World. Many were disillusioned.

Catholics were especially rejected by the so-called native Americans to whom most immigrants we're merely foreigners with a foreign religiqn. Scenes sim.ilar to current situations in Northem Ireland were common in American cities and towns. To strengthen mutual support in the critical days of adjustment to Ameri.ca, many fraternal and mutual aid societies developed among Catholics. In the world of the American church perh~ps none has had such an impact as the Knights of Columbus. . This year has special meaning for this organization as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.

we've had a good and loving family only to see us fall apart when my husband was laid off. What's happened to us?" And, as heads nodded in a chorus of agreement, she' pro ceeded to describe the familiar ripple effect of unemployment upon self-esteem, intimacy and communication in the family. . Unemployment is a fact of life in many families today and while we read numerous pieces on its effect on the economy, little is written about its effect on the family. It can be bonding or de structive, with most situations tending toward the latter, regret tably. About a year ago, a bishop in a highly industrial automobile assembly line area told me they're having a terrific break down in family life as a direct result of unemployment. He said that when great numbers of men were laid off, their wives had to compete for marginal jobs to keep the families fed. The men, after months of discouraging job seeking, became depressed and began spending more time in bars or in isolation. This result ed In alcoholism, abuse, and fam ily breakdown in families that never experienced any of those things. Eventually youths began to be affected, many refusing to accept

This pattern was followed al most exactly in a family I heard about whose father's job was phased out in an economy move. He searched for three months before finding something in an other state. In the interim, he be gan withdrawing from the fam ily who then began to withdraw support from him. When, in desperation, he took the ~ew job, his family resented losing jobs and schools because of forced relocation. They are still living together' but they are sullen and non-supportive of one another. Unemployment tells a family a lot about itself and its purposes. It also helps us to bet ter understand the devastating family problems of the chronic ally unemployed and to be a little more compassionate in our attitudes toward them. I don't want to give the im pression ·that unemployment means .automatic family break down because many families re port becoming closer as a result of temporary unemployment. But I do believe it important to ac knowledge a predictable loss of self-esteem on the part of the adult who-loses his or her job.

support is ess~ntial. The unem ployed, already feeling less worthy, find themselves filling out endless application forms, waiting for call backs, and an swering friends who ask daily. "Have you found anything yet?" Mter so long, they begin avoid ing others, even family members. Tensions increase and insensitive comments are taken the wroog way. We most need support from our families when we aren't get ting it from our culture. Yet families sometimes withdraw support at this very time, believ ing somehow that if they "nag" more, the jobless person will try harder. Unemployment isn't easy for the family but if it views it as an opportunity to become more understanding and to share in the bread-winning role while the jobless person is searching, the family unit will find itself richer once a new job is found. The family then knows it can weather bad times without settling on a scape goat and that it can be counted on as a support system in rough times as' well as good.

A CENTURY OF SERVICE 1882 - 1982

Serving the church through ten decades

By Most Rev. John ·F. Whealon Archbishop of Hartford One hundred years have passed since a mustaro seed was planted dn the basement of St. Mary's Church dn New Haven, Conn., which now has grown into a mighty Jtree. Now the Knights of Columbus form the largest as sociation of Catholic men in the world. They have taken root througlhout the United States of America, extending across Can ada, M~ico, the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Panama, the Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic. St. LuJre, -in .the Acts of the Apostles, gloried that the faith had come to Rome. So there· is aegitimate joy that this centenlllial order also has come to Rome, to the Holy See. The first ten years of the or der's ~istory were tlhe infancy and chi·ldhood. Growing pains prevented the youthful organiza tion from rendering special ser· vice to ei,ther Church or the state. The Knights were at first mainly a small insurance society, un1t ing Catholic men dn protecting widows and bereft families. In 1882 the worldwide areas of future Knights of Columbus growth were in early develop ment. Canada, then but 15 years old, had only four provinces and was mostly vast territories not yet reached by railroad. MeJcico was under tlhe '1engtlhy admilllis tration of Porifio Diaz. In the Philippines a fervid nationalism was mounting opposition to the few Spanish and the friars. Puer to Rico and Guam were under Spanish rule. Guatema'la, the most populous Central Amerdcan country, was then at peace. Pan ama was struggling to secede from Colombia, and the Virgin Islands relaxed peacef.ully under the Caribbean sun. The infant order remained close to its founding bishop Law rence McMahon, who in 1884 be came councH chaplaiQ of the new councH in Hartford. In that fash don, watdhed over protectively by the bishop of Hartford, spurred on by the zeal of Father Michael J. McGivney, the Knights grew steadily in Connecticut and expanded to Rhode Island and Massachusetts. There they be came a militant expression of Catholic presence as loyal Am ericans, in the face of wide spread anti-Catholic nativism. This vigorous spirit spread into Cliicago, St. Louis, Memphis, Louisville, Los Angeles and ur ban areas in the United States and Canada. The Cathoics of 1982 haldly can appreciate the depth and extent of anti-Cath olic bigotry that attacked Cath olics in the 1890s.

The bishops fought valiantly against such prejudice. They were gratified to have the KllIights of Columbus in tlhe pub lic arena to defend the ~oyalty of Catholics. At that time tlhe first apostolic delegate. in the United States, Archbishop Fran cesco Satolli, granted the Knights of Columbus his "warm approba tion and apostolic blessing." Satolld's praise, in a sense, stood as a prophetic hint of fu

also was a sign of the future. 'During its rtlhird decade the or der became more international and for tlhe first time was recog nized by' a pope. During this decade Pope Leo xm passed to his eternal reward. His succes sor, the saintly Pope Pius X, in 1905 sent a cordial message to the Supreme Council convention ·and extended his apostolic bless ing to all members. This was the time when the

fact, they struggled for f.ive years to help Cardinal Gibbons. Thus the hierarchy came to ap preciate the strength and loyalty of the Knights. .The fourth decade of Cc;>lum bian ~istory saw a quantum leap in the effective Church service of the Knights. World War I an'd its aftermath thrust the Knights of Columbus dnto na tional and international promi nence.

Pancho VHla expedition of 1916. When Great 'Britain declared war against (krmany in 1914, Can ada was dnvolved and sent 425, 000 men overseas, plus food and munitions. The United States re mained neutral until 1917. In 1916, after Pancho Villa crossed from Mexico and kHled twoscore Americans, the United States sent Gen. John Pershing and .12,OOOi troops on a punitive mission dnto Mexico. The Knights of Columbus established nine recreation centers along the bor der - to help Ca1lh0lic soldiers spirituaBy and aU soldiers rec reationally. In 1917, fortified by this ex perience, the Knights started a similar major program to help' the doughboys. Words cannot . express all tha,t the Knights of Columbus accomplished - the fund drives, the recreation cen ters in the United States of America and then in France, Germany, England, (with Cana dian and U.S. cooperation) and Rome. There were "huts" in Siberia, Japan, China, and the Philippines. The Knights symbol ized Catholic social involvement and spiritual help. The nickname for the Knights of Columbus was "Casey." All that "Cas<!y" did during World War " helped the bishops im measurably, demonstrated Cath olic patriotism and reduced anti Catholic bigotry. The 1920 meeting of the Su preme Council witnessed the sail dng of a d~legation of 235 Knights to France. They visited the scenes of Casey's service in Europe, and then visited Pope Benediot XV. The pope, worried over non-Catholic proselytism of Catholic youth, asked the Knights to counteract American anti Catholic propaganda in Rome. The Supreme Council accepted Notable national service to the this unexpected dnvitation and, Church started in 1913.

The Knights 'in the U.S., following the direction of the bish ops, cooperated with the bishops' National Catholic Community Service. The Knights themselves formed a National War iActivities Committee. Throughout.the war they worked effectively as a part of a unified Catholic program. They sold war bonds, cared for prisoners, worked within the U,~,O. structUre, organized a blood-donor program, even de velopE;d a peace program. In 1948 a Catiholic Advertising Program was started in St. Louis, under the chairmanship of Luke E. Hart. Guided by the supreme chaplain and administered by the VinCentian 'Fathers of St. Louis, this campaign to advertise the Catholic faith was phenomenally successful.

Newspapers to satellites

By Father Richard C. Rolwlng

'In January 1948 the Knights of 'Columbus began a nationa'i program of advertising the truths of the Catholic faith. This was a rather unusual approach for a Church tJhat was better known for its !reserve and dignity. In the advertising medium lit was not without :its controversial mo ments. Some newspapers and magazines were reluctant to ac cept such coh,lmns as, "You hear strange things about 'Catholics," or, "·But why candles, holywater and beads?" Encouraged by the success of a local program of advertising in Missouri, the then supreme ad vocate of the Knights of Colum bus, Luke E. Hart, brought the idea to the Supreme Council meeting dn August 1946, wihere an .informative presentation was given by Msgr. Edward Rogers. In October 1947 the Board of Di rectors agreed to a program of six advel'ltisements in the public press, starting in January 1948 with an appropriation of $125, 000. What had begun as a proj ect of the Missouri jurisdiction was now on its way to becoming equalIy successful op the national level. By 1969 the program had be come a $1 minion a year adver ·tising projeot and by tlhe 1981 K of C supreme council conven

rtion, it was reported that over the years 6,756,002 inquiries had been answered and 689,989 per sons had received additional in struction :in the faith. In 1981, for !instance, adver ,tisements appeared in Sunday supplements, TV Guide and Time magazine. By 1969 K of C officials, rea'l iz:ing the effectivenes~ of 30 second TV spots, decided to try this medium. A grant was made to the National Catholic Office for Radio and Television for preparation of four spots empha sizing spiritual messages -of value to young and old alike. Even though these were well received, no one realized tihe worldwide TV coverage they were initiating.

The 1970s, as is now realized, experienced an electronic explo sion. It was no ~ess' striking than tJhe difference between sharing the news via pony ex press and sending television sig naIs from St. Peter's Square to the 'Philippines in ,less than a sec ond. Television had come into its own. ,Pope Paul VI was planning the 1~75 Holy Year. The ceremonies were to be shared with the whole Christian world via four satel lites. The Knights of Columbus, in the updated spirit of Sharing the faith, offered to pay for part

of the satellite costs, that is, the "uplink" from Rome to the satel lites and - in the case of devel oping countl'lies requesting it _ also the "downoJink" for four ceremonies each year. The annuaI schedule covers Christmas .Eve Midnight Mass in St. Peter's 'Basilica, the Stations. of the Cross from the Colosseum on Good Friday, tlle pope's Easter Sunday blessing "to the city and .the world" and a special ceremony selected yearly. In 1978 the world mourned the deaths of Pope Paul VI and his successor, Pope John Paul I. Since the' K of C television arrangements were already in place, miHions could "be in Rome" for the two funerals and the installations of Pope John Paul n. Was this an effective tool in communicating the faith? Ac cording to the Nielsen ratings, 21.6 million watched :tlhe funeral of Pope Paul VI in the U.S. alone. Reading the signs of the times, the Knights consistently have f' j used the best available means of bringing the good news of God's ' Jove to aU people of good will. In the early days the accent was on street preaching and adver tisements. Today the Knights bring to the world the heart of Christianity, Rome and :tJhe HOly.J~"" Father, by means of orbiting in ' outer space. The 23-story K of C Supreme Office in New

What prompts me to write to you is because our son Michael is a member of the Coast Guard, stationed at Search & Rescue Station, Scituate, Mass. I can personally confirm the work and necessity of maintaining our Coast Guard. My son and all members of the Coast Guard put their lives on the line every time they step aboard their boats. I sometimes shudder at conditions of some of these vessels, and was happy to hear that Senator Tsongas supports additional funding of the Coast Guard.

In a flurry of activity at the be ginning of August, heavy press ure began building on both sides to find a solution. Soviet President Leonid Brez hnev asked President Ronald Reagan "to use most urgently the possibilities at his disposal to stop the continued annihila tion of the people of Beirut." The message was further evi dence that the Soviet Union re gards the United States as the major supporter of Israel's mili tary action. It also reflected the fact that the United States, which supplies Israel with much of its arms and is its ~troilgest defender in inter national diplomacy, is the only nation able to exert sufficient pressure against Israel. A key issue is where the 5,000 to 6,000 PLO guerrillas and their 55,000 d~pendents in West Bei rut would go. Other Arab coun tries have been unenthusiastic in offers of assistance and the PLO rejected a specific offer from Sudan, an African country far from the Israeli border. While the negotiations contino ued life worsened for' West Bei rut civilians.

"All the conditions for a water

borne epidemic are there," said 'Francois Remy, regional director for the United Nations Children's Fund. He spoke as international pressure built for Israel to end the cut-off of water and electri. city to West Beirut. Pope John Paul is one of many religious leaders preoccupied by the fighting in Lebanon. Maronite Patriarch Antoine Pierre Khoraiche of Antioch, a Lebanese, sent a cable to the U.S. Conference praising its con· gressional testimony on Lebanon, which favored withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon and asked the United States to adopt' an overall Middle East policy committed to reconciling Israel's

security with the need for a Palestinian homeland.

The, mystery of, the 'parabl~s

By 'Father John .IT. Castelot

Mark often refers to Jesus as a teacher but rarely gives ex amples of his actual teaching. Chapter 4, highlighUng the Para ble of the Sower, is an exception. Here Mark concentrates on the mystery of the reign of God and the'mysterious nature of para 'bles. Since we do not know the con text in which Jesus originally used the Parable of the Sower, its precise application is' uncer tain. Its general message, how ever, seems clear - that Jesus' preaching about the reign of God, in spite of resistance, obstacles and setbacks, will inexorably bear, fantastically abundant fruit.

The story is true to life in the first century, though the fram ing methods strike us as bizarrE! today. The seed, sown apparently haphazard on the bea,ten path, the rocky ground and among the thorns, was not really wasted. All those surfaces were then flowed under, but,' naturally enough, with varying results. The seed that fell on congenial soil, according to the parable, produced incredibly. Result. A good yield' was sf,lvenfold - but thirtyfold, a hundredfold - that was astonishing! For Mark,· the message lies in this surprise ending. The appar-, ent slowness, even failure, of ministry should not discourage Christ's disciples. God will

,The following stories are of real people given fictitious names. They illustrate some of the choices people are making about their lifestyles today. ,Bob and Mary Perkins believe that due to economic pressures they need two incomes. They are not extravagant but describe thmselves as "house· poor" since purchasing a town house in a Virginia suburb. Six months ago their first child was born. Following a ,short ma ternity leave, Mrs. Perkins re sumed her fulltime career, al though she would rather have

stayed home until the baby was ready for school. Now a typicai day begins with Mrs. Perkins leaving first while her husband leaves the baby at the sitter's house oli his way to work. Nonetheless, the Perkins con ~ider themselves more fortunate than many because their jobs are reasonably secure. They have friends who moved from the high. priced Washington area to a rural community.

Some years ago, in a teenage religion class, I mentioned my life as a youngster during and after World War II. You would have thought 'I was as old as Methuselah from the reactions I got. What did you do before tele· vision, they asked. "Whaddaya mean, there were no McDonald's' or Pizza Huts? No frozen foods? How did you eat?" The more they asked, about my life "back then," the 'more I realized how many changes have taken place since my childhood, not only in science and technol'ogy but in many other areas.

eventually grant success beyond imagining. ' However, by the time the para bles came to the Christian com munities, their original meaning has been forgotten. As. a result they took on an air of mystery. The word parable translates the Hebrew word mashal, which means b~sically a comparison. It also can refer, to a metaphor, simfle, proverb, or even a riddle. The Gospel parables usually involve a simple story, but be neath the surface is a second meaning' not readily apparent.

Past and future By David Gibson Such popular space creatures as E.T., R2D2 and C3PO were born of the kind of future gazing common in this age of rapid social, scientific and technologi cal change. "We are, it is asserted, accus tomed to change. There has been so much of it that it grows less and less likely that further changes will be considered as tonishing. Will earthlings shuttle back and forth to space stations in the relatively near future? Who's to say? Oddly enough, the nostalgia craze is as prominent as future gazing. Millions enjoyed "Little . House on the Prairie" and "The Waltons." , The problems of the Ingalls family - its prairie pilgrimage - have captured and captivated

a nation's' attention. But why?

People turn to the past intrig ued by the apparently firm and clear values of its people.' Perhaps the nostalgia craze is a sign of something very simple - that people need and want to remember what life was like for their fOl'ebears: Or perhaps peo ple fear that the past will be forgotten in the swift movement toward the future. In any event, as the world nears the year 2000, a lot of its people appear to have their sights firmly fixed on both fu ture and past. Does that mean we don't know what we want? J Actually this' sense of being stretched out between yesterday and tomorrow is not unique to our times.

The mystery

Continued from page twelve thus become personally involved in the learning process. Mark's preoccupation with the parables reflects a problem the early church felt keenly: Why did so few people accept the preaching of the word? Of those who did, why did so many event Ually fall away? The evangelist composed this chapter in an attempt to solve the puzzle. He seized on the mys terious qualities of the parable as a way of explaining people's failure to accept the Christian message. Mark even suggested that Jesus deliberately used para bles to befuddle people, to hide from them the mystery which could be revealed only to a select group of well-disposed dillciples. Mark wrote: "To you the mys tery of the reign of God has been confided. To the others outside, all is pre.sented in parables, so

they will look intently and not see, listen carefully and not understand, lest perhaps they re pent and be forgiven." A cryptic statement like that is open to misinterpretation. It is Mark's rather gauche way of saying that for "those outside," everything is "in parables," ob scure, because they refuse to understand. Being well-disposed, however, the disciples understand that God's reign has appeared in the person and activity of Jesus. Events will show, however, that not even the disciples came to a full understanding until after the death and resurrection of Jesus. "Those outside" rarely saw the light; but according to Mark the fault really lies in their lack of receptiveness, not in the para bles.

Most dangerous dr~gs

CINCINNATI· (NC) - "The sheer numbers of kids· using marijuana and alcohol make these the most dangerous drugs," said an official of CareUnit Hos pital of Cincinnati, which special izes in the treatment of drug and alcohol abuse. . Parents have a tendency to condone alcohol or marijuana abuse among teen-agers, to say "Thank God, they're not using 'anything harder," said the offi cial, Conrad Foss, assistant ad ministrator of CareUnit. But be· cause of their easy access to marijuana and alcohol, teens are more likely to become addicted to those substances than to more exotic drugs like heroin or to be involved in a fatal accident as a result of using them, Foss said. Because parents and teachers have difficulty· recognizing the early stages of a teen-ager's drug problems,· most youngsters in treatment are referrals from the court system, he said. "Parents want to believe the best about their kids," until the son, or daughter' gets . into serious . trouble, he added. The problem of adolescent ai 'cohol and drug abuse is "epi demic," Foss said. According to national studies, at least 28 per cent of those between the ages of 18 and 30 are problem drinkers and most of them are abusing' drugs as well. CareUnit is an 84-bed facility with a 24-bed adolescent unit. Adolescent treatment uses the

"level. approach." The program has 25 rules. If the teen-ager follows them, he moves, to a .higher level with increased privi leges, such as outings, having a radio, and weekend visits with parents. Failure to follow rules results in dropping back to a lower level with fewer privileges. Teen-agers rarely recognize that actions have consequences, positive or negative, Foss said. Once they associate actions with even short-term consequences, they are more likely to consider long-term effects of' their be havior. Consistency is the most im portant factor in bringing a chemically dependent teen to that point, he said. Too often parents and schools unwittingly give the adolescent exactly what he wants, Foss said. For example, a teen who doesn't want to go to school is caught smoking mari juana and expelled, thereby achieving what he desired in the first place. Working with families is es sential, Foss said, "We can't get a kid straight and send 'him back to a sick family or the kid will ,get sick again." CareUnit treatment is only the first phase of recovery, he said. Long-term success with a recov ering teen as with adults depends on involvement in groups like Alcoholics or Narcotics Anony-· mous and after-care sessions. "That's the prescr:iption for staying sober," Foss said.

THE ANCHOR Friday, Augus~ 6, 1982

By Bill Morrissette

portswQtch Olson Looks to 1984 Olympics St. Jacques parish of Taunton could possibly have special linter· est an the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles if Eric Olson, who will enter the senior olass at Taunton High School next month, realizes his ambition to compete in the decathlon in the 1984 games. Competing as a junior lin the Massachusetts State Coaches De cathlon Meet earlier this year he set three new state recollds: 54 feet 8112 inches in tlhe shotput, 154 feet 8112 :inches in the discus and 181 feet two inches in the javelin. The latter surpassed the previous recoro by 14 feet seven inches. His overall performance in the 10-event comp~t;ition earned him an unprecedented second consec utive Massachusetts High School Decathlon championship. He ac cumulated 6,740 points to lead Taunton High to its second con secutive team crown. His total points combined with those of two teammates - Northeastern bound Eddie Correa and Boston University-bound Kenny Gomes

-set a new team mark of 17,630. points eolipsing the record set in 1976' by New Bedford High by some 700 points. Eric, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clive H. Olson, 380' West Britannia Street, Taunton, :is hoping to fur ther his education at the Uni versity of California, Los Ange 'ies, where he plans to major in Social 'Psychology while minol'ing in computer programming and business management. He feels that the fine track program at UCLA should be of great help in training to achieve his goal: 1984 Olympics decathlon competition. He also holds school records in the 50-yard high hurdles and the shotput. He a·lso partioipated in football at Taunton High being a kickoff specialist on the 1980 team. He played both ways, full back and linebacker, on the 1981 team but injuries mIdway in the season cut short his higlh school football career. If intense desire and rigorous training have the desired effect Eric will atta,in his goal.

But the film GARP is far less interesting than the Garp of the novel; thus the film has a vacuum at its center. Garp's view of the world is not broad or pro found. His main concern being a turtle~like instinct to' avoid or lessen the effects of mortality. For all its flaws,. however, the movie is consistently interesting.
