Bishop -in. Warni路ng On Belittling Sin SAN DIEGO (NC) The greatest wrong man can do is "belittle the horror of sin," Bishop Leo T. Maher of San Diego told a charismatic renewal conference here. Bishop Maher urged Catholics to "enjoy the harvest of the Spirit among us" by dedicating their lives as good Christians. He also urged Catholics "to make the spirit of the Holy Ghost dynamic in your lives." Catholics "must renounce the inflation of evil and sin," he said, "because the greatest wrong man can do is to belittle the horrqr of sin." There were more than 1,500 registered participants from 27 states and five foreign .countries, but the number doubled at the two general sessions of the three-day' conference. The keynote speaker, auxiliary Bishop Joseph McKinney of Grand Rapids, Mich., told a general assembly that charismatics

must not "underestimate the' power of the Holy Spirit among us." He said that they should "make this power operative in the world today." "We have problems because we pussyfoot about sin. We avoid the issue. Until we put our hearts on the line and empty them for Jesus, we cannot be liberated from the things. that make us prisoners," Bis1).op McKinney said. "When you've got everything together in the material world, you haven't got it all together unless you have Jesus Christ," he said. "The pow~r of the Holy Spirit among us becomes real only when we say to Christ, 'Yes, Lord.' The Holy Spirit must be in the center of our lives before you can make anything happen." Bishop McKinney said that' "the strategy of Jesus Christ is. the only way to go. You love Tum to Page Thr,ee

Pope Eases Funeral Rules For Divorced Catholics VATICAN CITY (NC) - Divorced Catholics who have remarried outside the Church may be buried .with a Catholic funeral under certain circumstances, the Vatican's Doctrinal Congregation has ruled. The congregation has also informed tlie world's bishops, in a separate notification, that they must be on guard against "new opinions which deny or seek to cast doubt on the doctrine of the indissolubility of marriage." In a letter dated May 29, the congregation stated that numerous conferences of bishops had asked if there has been a change in Church law which in the past has denied a Catholic funeral and burial to Catholics who have died while married irregularly in the eyes of the Church. .The congregation, which deals with matters of faith and morals, said the question was studied by the plenary session of the congregation in 1972, which decided "with the approval of the Supreme Pontiff, to make it easier to celebrate Church funerals for Catholics who were not permitted such under canon law 1240." The Church's Code of Canon Law is undergoing a total revision .at the present time but the revision has not yet been issued, the letter noted. Therefore, the congregation issued a new regulation which provides that "celebration of religious funerals will no longer be forbidden for faithful who, . although finding themselves be-

Christians know that another life exists, the Pope stated, because of "the certitude of faith. "It is not a legend, nor myth: It is the truth. God has created us immortal. 'Every time a baby is' born, he is born for eternity." 'Live As Pilgrims' Christians must neglect neither their duties nor the legitimate joys.of the present life, the Pop~ continued, but they must "live as pilgrims, without leaving roots in the world. The struggles, politics, triumphs will pass, as will the great and wonderful works of man, and there will re: main only love. "This. is the meaning of the Assumption; the love of God that raised here who believed in Him to eternal glory." In the opening of his sermon, . Pope Paul recalied that the Orthodox churches celebrated from the first centuries of Chnis-Uanity t1he feast of the dormition 'or "the falling asleep" of the Virgin. He also recalled his visit to Ephesus, now in modern'-day Turkey, in 1967 where tradition holds the Virgin Mary passed her. last years on earth. At Communion time, Pope Paul distributed hundreds of Hosts to villagers, children, older persons and the sick. At the end of Mass, he stood on the front steps of' the church greeting the cheering crowds and moved his hands in plessing.

parishes in .South or Central America, the local director has to keep interest alive in them. In many ways the diocesan Prop director is a kind of vicar general for missionary activity, sort of the bishop's alter ego for missionary activity. "In the fund gathering," Bishop O'Meara continued, "the big thing is that we gather the mission fund of the Church. That is what is distributed in Rome. Council Decides "We do not send the money to Rome; we send the decisionmaking power about. the money so that it may be distributed equitably and fairly to the most needy. "The decisions are made by this council of which I am a member. When the decisions are final1y made, sometimes after much discussion, the mission' secretariat in Rome sends us instructions on where to send our money. The churches throughout the world that are helped know where the money comes fromin fact, in our annual report we publish many of these letters from missionary dioceses." At the end of the year each national director lets the Rome headquarters know how much has ,been received. At the same time, said Bishop O'Meara, Rom~ has been receiving throughout the year reports, of new needs, new projects, emergency situations, apostolic opportunities.

Queen, Prince Visit Catholic Cathedral CLIFTON (Nc)-Queen Elizabeth and her husband, Prince Philip, on an official visit to the Bristol area in Western England, , visited the new Catholic cathedral recently' opened at Clifton. Bishop Joseph Rudderham of Clifton, 74, welcomed them. at the entrance and took them on a tour of the modernistic, hexagonal building. The royal visit is believed to have been made at the queen's own expressed wish. Catholic commentators see the gesture as another sign of the tremendously improved relations in recent years among Christians in this country and as another example of the queen's known deep affection for Catholics.

[jj] ·HBV&AL BAnK ' MEMBER F 0 Ie

FORT WAYNE (NC)-Leaders of the Crosier order adopted economic and political justice in the world and simplicity in their own life style as top priorities at their world meeting here. They pledged to use all of the resources of the 1,000member order - publications, conferences, preaching and other activities-to promote economic and political justice in the third world of developing nations and in the large urban areaes of developed countries. Bishop James S. Rausch, general secretary of the U. S. Catholic Conference, who spoke at the beginning of the two-week meeting, said he believed it was the first time that a general chapter of a religious order was devoted to the theme of world justice. It was also the first time in its 760-year history that the order 'of priests and Brothers held a general chapter outside Europe. At the conclusion of the meeting the nearly 50 delegates from around the world adopted two policy statements, one submitted by the European Crosiers and one by the Americans. Father Richard John, speaking for the 200 U. S. priests and I3rothers he heads, said that people living in the world's developed nations "have become slaves to materialism and consumerism." Genuine Human Values "We have fallen into the trap of evaluating ourselves too much by what we have, rather than by what we are," he said. ':Consequently, in our legitimate desire to build up our self-esteem,

we don't focus on genuine human values, but we gaUop on to acquire an even greater baggage of exterior symbols of our worth.

Di'rector of Priestly, f'ormation Answers Critic of Seminaries WASHNGTON (NC) The U. S. bishops' director of priestly formation has described as "very subjective and impressionistic" a Catholic editor's low evalualion of the nation's seminaries. Msgr. Robert E.Bacher, executive director of Priestly Formation of the U. S. Catholic Conference, made his observation concerning an editorial published in the July issue of Homiletic and Pastoral Review. The magazine's editor, Jesuit Father Kenneth Baker, suggested that the seminaries be closed and that qualified pastors train seminarians.. He said that discipline and morals had broken down in the seminary. The Jesuit also decried what he called "the absence of so~id Catholic teaching" in the seminary. "Father Baker desires that candidates for the 'Priesthood receive the best possible training and preparation," said Msgr. Bached. "So does the Bishops' Committee on Priestly Formation. "Father Baker suggests that the training of candidates might better be carried on outside the seminary setting. The Bishops' Committtee is certainly willing to consider reasonable suggestions for innovative approaciles to training without, however, agreeing that the seminary should be abandoned as the focal point of training." ' Msgr. Bacher said that Father Baker's suggestions are, unfortunately, "set in the context of a

Economic and Political' Justice Are Crosier Order's Priorities

U,ganda President Anti-Abortion KAMPALA (NC) - President Idi Amin of Uganda, a Moslem, warned that any woman who undergoes an abortion will be required to answer criminal charges. Amin said that whoever practices abortion in llganda is regarded as a murderer because he actuaUy kills a person. Abortion, he said, usually kills not only the child but also the womah, and the' country then loses two citizens.

Amin, who has been at odds at times with the Catholic Church and foreign missionaries, appealed to doctors, unmarried women, nurses, and school girls to avoid any participation in abortions. He added, however, that his warning should not be misrepresented to mean that he is encouraging pregnancies outside marriage. ,

If one does not want to get 'pregnant, he said, one should limit one's enjoyments.

Self or Others Not too long before he died, Pope Pius XII put forth the idea that one of the problems of the immediate future would be man's concern over his free time. The Pope pointed out that improvements in working and living conditions were bringing about much more leisure for many. more people, and a concern would be what to do with and in this time. The far-seeing pontiff was an astute prophet Students of social behavior are now writing learned articles on man's free time. There i,s a scrambling among people for something to put into the vacuUln of their. 'leisure. In the case of many, it is a turning to furl. New York City bills itself as 'Fun City. Amusement: areas are everywhere to be seen. There is a frantic-almost a pathetic -effort for amusement. On the West Coast there is even a: group that will . provide conversation for people who want to listen or to talk. There is a price for this, of course, but good listeners and conversationalists are for hire to help people pass the time. There is another aspect to the problem of leisure. It is that people are volunteering for service to others. And that is very good and a most happy way to occupy free tim~. People will either get wrapped up in themselves and their own wills and whims, or else they can become more interested in helping others. It is to be hoped that· a large . measure of the problem of what to do with leisure will be solved in this latter way.

vocal leader of the opposition to the regime of President Park Chung Hee in South Korea, told NC News in an interview here that he was being shadowed by Korean Central Intelligence Agents. A month later the prominent politician was kidnaped from a hotel lobby in Tokyo by five men "with Seoul accents," after a lunch with some members of the South Korean 'parliament. Yang II-Dong, the assemblyman with whom Mr. Kim met just before the abduction, said that he had. been urged by the Korean Embassy in Japan .to order Kim to go back to Korea.

Minnesota Bishops Support Boycotts

ST. PAUL (NC)-The bishops of Minnesota have endorsed boycotts of lettuce, grapes and wine called by Cesar Chavez' United Farm Workers Union (UFWU). "It is not enough to ask if the products are union produced," the state's 12 bishops said, "because under the ostensible contract between the'growers, producers and wine makers with the Teamsters Union they can now readily represent that all these products are union products." The bishops said individual Catholics and Catholic institutions should make sure that the grapes and lettuce they buy are identified with the· ·UFWU's black eagle union label. They should not buy Guild Wines, the . OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF FALL RIVER bishops said.

In Court Ruling On School Aid

Mob Attacks ·Nuns' House

WASHINGTON (NC) - The office of the General Counsel of the U. S. Catholic Conference believes that "the many flaws" in U. S. Supreme Court decisions on aid .to nonpublic education are bound to become more evident as time passes. The counsel made its judgment in a 12-page critique of the Supreme Court's June 25 school aid decisions. Those decisions effectively put a freeze on all new forms of substantial public assistance to e'ducation in churchrelated elementary and secondary schools. "It is still much too early for a full technical analysis' of these decisions," the USCC counsel stated, but added that the decisions "are by no means free of ambiguities." Critical Points Clear "Considering the time and ,space that the court devoted to these decisions, these ambiguities become mQre difficult to understand and i,t wjl1 take considerable reflection by the counsel to produce' a full analysis, Jr the statement explained. The statement added, however, that certain critical points are sufficiently clear right now for immediate exposition. "The latest school aid decision will unquestionably rank with the abortion, public school financing, reapportionment, and obscenity cases as the most important decisions, both practically and theoretically, of this term of the Supreme Court," the statement declared. The statement. predicted that in the next months the decisions will be scrutinized closely in law reviews and other professional legal journals. Inaccurate History

LA RIOJA (NC)-A mob of more than 200 persons attacked the House of the Religious Sisters of the Assumption, the headquarters of the Diocesan Rural Movement. and the homes of several families whom they accused of cooperating with the Religious. The rioters, who arrived from neighboring Anillaco in 25 cars, destroyed furniture, Bibles, religious images and damaged the small room where the nuns heard Mass. It has been reported that the attack came because the nuns have been identified with the Third World Movement, a progressive organization of priests ~nd nuns who work for social justice in Argentina. The Diocesan Rural Movement is also considered a leftist organization. The governor of La Rioja said that those found guilty will be punished by the government. Two of the attackers have been identified as men who were placed under interdict by Bishop Enrique Angelelli of La Rioja, for calling him a "communist" and for expelling him from the rural community of Anillaco. Interdict is a religious punishment which forbids a person to attend religious services, receive the sacraments or have a church burial. Bishop Angelelli, who is a prominent member of the Third World Movement, has been the target of rightist groups of landowners calling themselves The Committee for the Defense of the Faith. After the episode in Anillaco last month, the prelate received threats against his life.

The bishop said the study's purpose is to provide diocesan officials with data they need to develop new programs and revise current ones to serve better Spanish-speaking Catholics; "Based on this research, the diocese will be better able to consider new ways and means to serve the Spanish-speaking," he ,said. "This survey will also provide an awareness of all resources available anel an opportunity to coordinate program services with local agencies in the community." Antonio Benavides, director of the Cristo Rey Community Center in Lansing, was named to conduct the survey, which is expected to be completed by year's end.

Urges Bed-ridden and Shut-ins to Offer Sacrifice. for Priests ,

. I

Continued fr<?m Page One it is highly appropriate for young .men and women to give serious and prayerful consideration to the service of Almighty God and His people in the priesthood and religious life. Excerpts from Father Hogan's homily follow: The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, has issued a call for young men to enter the Priesthood. Under the direction of Father John Smith, Vocation Director of the Fall River Diocese, our Bishop is conducting an intense campaign to recruit-young men for the Priesthood. We ask all our viewers of Television Mass, the aged, the sick, the shut-ins, to help by their prayers and sacrifices and' sufferings. Whatever we think of the Priesthood ... and let's not be. technical, nor philosophical .. : let's be practical. A priest is a man set apart, through his rite of ordination, by the imposition of hands by his bishop. He has two powers, both essential fol' our salvation. First, he has the great privilege and power of offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, changing bread and wine into the Body and Blood of our. Blessed Lord. Second, he has the power to forgive sins. We emphasize these two great powers of the Priesthood because the laity have an everincreasing role in the liturgical ceremonies of our Church. You read the lessons, and this you do' very well; you bear the gifts in the offertory procession, and we' are proud of your participation; you usher in our churches and you take the collections, and again, you. excel in this work. But we do need priests to bring Our Blessed Lord to us and to remove the stumbling block to our salvation, sin. Saint Mark's Gospel is the

.Remember,. we are taiking about the Priesthood. 'He diO aU things well ... He founded a Church and He founded that Church on men like the Bishops and Priests who serve our people today. Only God could have selected men for the founding of the Church and only God can select his Priests. . . Our' Lord, therefore, did all things well, from the beginnning

of his I ife to the end, from the foundidg of the Church even to the pr~sent day. But I know what ~ou are saying: He was God, ard therefore Divine, and expecteF to do all things well. I must agree with you. We are human I and therefore, not expected to do all things well. This is not d·ue. He shared His Divinity witH us, and this is the Priesthood; that .is the reason we, are 1: able to feal with God's Grace, to do thinls well.

Conventiol1 Resolutions Concern Watergate, Abortion, Black Bishops

Saint Paul pointed out, "I am what I am due to the -grace of God." He also told us that none of us a~le worthy to be His servants, e pecially His co-workers. And yet when Paul said' this, we all kn0 that Paul did well. So the sim Ie phrase found in the Gospel f. Saint Mark characterizes thelway our priests, young and old serve our people today. There i a challenge in these words af:d a promise in them, and our priests have accepted that· cha lenge, and are building and fulfi ling our promise.

shortest of the Gospels, and it seems to me that whenever Saint Mark had anything to say, he said it clearly and distinctly and quickly. Near the end of his Gospel, he says, "He has done all things' well." This was a very simple and all-embracing compliment paid to Our Blessed Lord, the Great High Priest, during his own day.

LOUISVILLE (NC) :- Resolutions on Watergate, the Supreme Court's abortion ruling, and a request that Pope Paul.:vI appoint more black. bishops were ,approved at the 58th annual convention of the Knights and Ladies of Peter Claver here. The Knight's auxiliary also cited three other concerns. The resolutions were announced at a news conference by Edward James Ray of Sunset, La., the organization's . deputy Supreme Knight. The Watergate resolution says that the scandal !'has dimmed the spirits of the American people," and that "it could be many years before we regain our le~d· ership as a world power." It calls on the organization to, "go on record as condemning the actions of persons involved," asks that the. "guilty be pun-' ished," and urges prayers that America, "will regain her respect and continue to be the great country that it has been." The abortion resolution declared that· the "right-to-life is God-given," and that "from the moment of concepti9n a fetus is a living, human being." The or· ganization condemned the Jan.

22 Supreme Court abortion ruling.

Concerning support for' a constitutional amendment which would reverse the ruling, Ray said that in Louisiana the Knights are, "very' active in this issue and the national organization will be' as welL" A resolution on black bishops stated that the Knights request "Pope Paul VI to appoint more black bishops in the United States in charge of dioceses rather than on an "auxiliary status" in dioceses. , Commenting on the resolution, Ray pointed out there are now two black auxiliary bishops, both of whom are serving in the South, Bishop Harold R. Perry in New Orleans and Bishop Joseph L. Howze in Natchez-Jackson, Miss. Ray added that of the 20 million Catholics in the United States, one million are Black. Other resolutions condemned sterilization of black women and using human life in experiments. The organization said it will "continue to speak out on issues in regard to' human dignity," and the "worth of a. human being."

Imagine all the lives ·that a bishop o~ a priest touches in all· !he spec.i~l works .with which he IS associated. He IS the spiritual father of all our families, the mediator between God and man

. and ·man and God, the leader in social reforms, striking forward for all that is good, decent and honorable, bringing the Sermon of the Mount to all mankind. Bishop Cronin has appealed for more priests, we need them. Today we ask you sick and shut-ins to offer you sufferings that God will give us many young men for the Priesthood. - Perhaps Robert Frost summarizes best the philosophy of our Bishops and Priests. He wrote: "The woods are lonely and dark and deep, but I have miles to go, and promises to keep, before I sleep." Say a prayer for all your Bishops and Priests, and for an increase in vocations.

I(orea Christians Oppose Pa rk's Rule of Power WASHINGTON (NC) A group of Korean Christians have sent out of Korea "a declaration. in the name of the Korean Christian community" condemning the regime of President Park Chung Hee. The declaration accused Park of controlling all three branches of government and of using the military and the intelligence network to oppress the Korean people. Under fear of reprisals, indicated in the opening statement of the declaration, it was explained that the authors and supporters of the d~cument preferred to remain anonymous. "We must fight and struggle in the underground until our victory is achieved," they said. "President Park's consolida· tion of power," the declaration stated, "has had certain demonic consequences for the life of the Korean nation and people. The Christian community, as an integral part of the Korean people, now stands up and speaks out on the present situation ..." Aspiration Unrealized "The regime in Korea is destroying freedom of conscience and freedom of religious belief," it said. "There is freedom neither of expression nor of silence. "There is interference by the regime in Christian churches' worship, prayer, gatherings, 'content of sermons and teaching of the Bible." • The declaration called upon Christians and other religious bodies to be "defenders of conscience" for the Korean people. "In defending the freedom of reo ligious belief against interference by the regime in Korea, Christian churches are also defending freedom of conscience for the Korean people."

Abortion Advocate Charges Cowardice

Five Dioceses Issue J()int Guid'elines BALTIMORE( NC)-Five dioceses issued joint guidelines saying that the catechetical preparation for the first reception of Penance "shilll be given pl'lior to catechesis for first Communion." But the guidelines also stressed that the decision that a child is ready to be admitted to Penan<:e "rests primarily with the parents and the pdest who will administer :the sacrament." "Every caution should be exercised so that no one lis forced to receive the sacr~ment," the gui~elines said.

Brazil's Cursillos Mourn Founders SAO PAULO (NC) - Two Spanish priests who helped to launch the Cursillo Movement in Brazil, met tragic deaths within a few days. Father Paulo C. Sanahuja, 45, died in a highway accident near Belo Horizonte. He was secretary of the Brazilian Bishops Conference Cursillo division. Three bishops and 60 priests concelebrated at a requiem Mass for him here. Father Jose Maria Yanez, 54, was killed at Rio Bonito railroad station near Rio de Janeiro in what police described as a case of mistaken identity, by warring gangsters. He had worked with the Cursillo movement for 10 years.

But they recommended that the basic pr.eparation for both sacraments should normally take place in the second grade, with the prepamtion for Penance first. The basic concepts of "redemption, sin heaLing love and the sacrament of Penance" should be taught when the child reaches the age of reason, the guidelines said. "As the person's reLigious education continues, these concepts are to be developed more fully on a gradual basis suited to his age and understanding."

Franciscans Hold Provincial Chapter LOUDENVILLE (NC) A Franciscan provincial chapter held here in New York has called for a greater involvement among Franciscans in promoting world justice and peace. The 88 delegates, representing some 900 Friars of the New York based Holy Name province, also ruled that for the sake of community life all Franciscan parishes should be staffed by at least four friars wherever feasible. On the issue of justice and peace, the chapter issued a position paper on "conscientization," along with spoken testimonials from foreign missionaries of the province from Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. The chapter explained that the position paper was issued "to sensitize the members of the province to world issues of justice and peace, and to invite and encourage them to take active roles in liberating the suffering people of the world from the structures that oppress them.~'

WASHINGTON (NC) - Abortion advocate William Baird has leveled a charge of "outright cowardice" against the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for proposing that he drop his $26 million suit against the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB).

Cardinal Humberto S. Medeiros of Boston issued a similar set of guidelines for the Boston archdiocese. Adapted from the BaJ.timore guideHnes, the Boston guidelines incorporated several additions.

Baird is suing the NCCB for allegedly depriving him of his constitutional rights when Baird was arrested last year while trying to present a pro-abortion petition to the bishops at their annual meeting. The NCCB has denied that it has ordered Baird's arrest.

They provided fora one-year transitional per.iod for cateohetical program already in progress or "'Planned to such a degree that great confusion wou'ld result from a sudden change."

ACLU attorney Philip J. Hirschkop, asked in a letter that he drop the suit because of Baird's inability to meet the costs involved.

The Boston guideliines also advised a "comunal, non-sacramental penitential service" for second grade students in the late fall "in order to acquaint the child with the concepts of recoIYcildation, forgiveness, mercy, love and thanksgiving." To the Baltimore guidelines . cautiol1 that no child -should be forced to receive Penance, the Boston guidelines added that equal caution should be exercised to see that the sacrament is not denied "to one who desires it."

Baird said, "It is unheard of for the ACLU to ask the plaintiff for money for civil liberties issues."

She heard of the job, she said, while attending a summer il1stitute of religious studies sponsored by Grand Rapids' Aquinas College, an institute from which, after five summers of work, she this month earned a master of arts degree in theological studies. At the time the Michigan opportunity presented itself, she ,was ddrecting Confraternity of Christian Doctrine programs for several Taunton area parishes. Previously she had been on the faculties of Sacred Hearts Acad{ emy, Fall River and Cassidy High School, Taunton.

Declares 'Scratch~ Cooking Better, More Economical By Joe and Marilyn

Instead, the girls would More than Eating have to get accustomed td making more of their goodies from scratch and rely less on the market for their luxuries. As .a result I have had a ball eating the goodies that have come out {)f the oven. Melissa especially has been baking pastries with regularity. In the last couple of weeks we have had an excellent Boston cream pie, some delicious Toll House cookies and some very short-lived macaroons. Certainly the quality of our snacks has risen' appreciably and the cost of the same has diminish~d rapidly. Better Results Marilyn has also been making do with all sorts of odds and ends and the results are far better as far as I am concerned. With less emphasis on. meat dishes· and more on making less expensive foods more palatable, the results' have been truly worthwhile. I have never really been a meat-eateranywa:y, so the de-emphasis on meat as the main dish is a welcome change in my diet. The most amazing thing about using a little thought in preparing food is that 'the family as a whole is more appreciative of the effort than they are when ,things are more normal. A blueberry pie served at the end of a meal has more significance when it follows a souffle than a full meal of meat and potatoes. From the point of view of this husband, money aside, the meat boycott is a good thing. Now when mealtime approaches I find myself wondering what will emerge from the oven or stove top with some anticipation and relish. In the Kitchen There is still a smatteririg of meat in the market and you can obtain frozen cuts. We had one of the latter for dinner this evening and I must admit that our Labrador, Missy, kept eyeing it suspiciously; in fact, I've opened cans of her dog food that smelt better. If we are going to survive the food crisis that is facing the nation, I personally feel that it is going to take a lot of planning on the part of the housewife. Sylvia Porter, whose column I find info~mative, claims that one of the reasons for our high food bills is that we depend to such .an extent on prepared dishes. I'm afraid this is true and .I find myselt doing ,it more and more, in the winter when time is at a premium.

By BARBARA WARD

The whole idea of a "liturgy" is a profound expression of man's fundamental human unity. Although liturgies or rituals vary in form from people to people and culture to culture, no human society is without ritual and it is doubtful whether any society could hold together if all commonly understood gestures, symbols and liturgies were abolished. Ritual probably begins at the very beginnings of human consciousness. Gestures full of meaning - the hand raised in warning or offered in friendship -may well be as old, as the invention of speech. Their repetition allowed people to make sense of the vast flux of impressions which over 150,000 years ago, appear to have started flooding into their greatly enlarged brains. Do It Again

en." Everywhere, fruits and animals were sacrificed in thanksgiving and reparation. Festivals universally marked such archetypal and recurrent human actionsas spring sowing or the gathering in of the harvest. Liturgy, ritual brought the whole communiy together to give, thanks for life. The sacrifices also express!ld repentance and propitiation. It is as hard for societies as for men to labor on under a sense of guilt and failure. Rituals are collective reconcilings, the chance of a new start. Liturgies of Hate But, man being man, it ,is also true, again in Yeats' own words, that "the ceremonies of innocence are drowned." Almost the first'sacrifice we hear of in the Bible is not Cain and Abel offer-' ing together ,the best yield of their fields and herdll to God but Cain killing Abel- in envy and spite. The liturgies that have expressed the common bonds of one group have all too often united them in hatred of others. Prisoners taken in war had their living hearts cut out by the Aztecs. 'The idea of cleansing through sacrifice turned horribly into human sacrifice by which one man was killed-"the scapegoat"-to clear away the sins of everyone else. And, in a deep sense, these bideous "rituals" go ort, for we still spend $215 billion a year on the arms needed to join in the dreadful "liturgy" of massacring fellow human beings in the name of man's latest and most terrible idol, the nation state. The place of the Eucharist in Christian liturgy is central because it fulfills and makes divine these two profound meanings of ritual. It is completely "communitarian." It is the second Adam, Christ, drawing to Himself the whole human race. But it is also the ultimate sacrifice - not the horrible, forced, human sacrif.ice of the one for the many, but the' complete acceptance and readiness for perfect self-sacrifice as the precondition of human love and community. "Greater love hath no man ,than that. he lay down his life for his friends." We are all of us, black, brown, yellow, white, God's friends. And He makes the sacrifice for all of us.

The childhood of humanity may well have been like the chHdhood of all the world's individual children-a time when tasks and experiences are repeated over and over again so that they can be fully mastered. How many parents have been driven almost to distraction by the little voice, implacably demanding: "Do it again." Yet these repetitipns are, part of learning to be human. The ,instinct for ritual is as old and as wide as the whole human race. In its essence, too, it is what the Bishops call "communitarian." A liturgy or a ritual'must involve other human beings. It helps ,to draw man out of his tendency to solitary self-concern. He joins with his fellow men in accomplishing a joint action. Hopefully, he loses some of his cramping egoism as he joins hands or sings or dances or goes through the symbolic acts which the poet Yeats once called "the St. Louis Priory ceremonies of innocence"-ceremonies by which children are ed- Now Independent l1cated to recognize their part in LONDON (NC) - The English a wider community and grown Benedictine congregation has appeople reaffirm that role. proved the erection of St. Louis In the past, over a greater part Priory at St. Louis, Mo., as an of human history, liturgies have independent priory.

Begins Voluntary Teacher Corps SIOUX CITY (NC) - Eight young women will offer their professional services this fall as full-time volunteer teachers in the Sioux City diocesan school system. The eight women are pioneer members of a new educational agency, the Diocesan Teaching Corps, and will receive the same pay given to religious Sisters. The voluntary lay teachers program is for one year, with an optiOli for the teachers to renew their commitments. The volunteers are mostly recent college graduates. Primary criteria for selection were willingness to

serve and professional competency. The development of the Diocesan Teaching Corps, according to Sister Jan Hosch, diocesan elementary supervisor and director of recruitment for the, program, grew out of inquiries from young people seeking opportunities for service. Msgr. James' K. Lefferty, diocesan superintendent, said he was highly pleased with the high calibre of the eight women who will initiate the volunteer program.

KNOW YOUR FAITH The Eastern Orthodox Religion

Eastern Orthodox Sense of Mystery When J think of Eastern Orthodox Churches I spontaneously think not of doctrines but of worship, not of words but of symbols. I think of ikons and incense, of long, solemn liturgical services. I imagine bearded priests, wearing stiff, heavy vestments, solemnly swinging in- . cense boats, singing liturgical chants.

By FR. CARL J. PFEIFER, S.J.

Eastern Orthodox worship suggests to me a sense of awesome mystery. While much of the liturgy is visible to all, parts are carried out in' secret behind a heavily curtained grill. The words that seem to recur most frequently are "Lord," and "Holy." A kind of solemn wonder characterizes Eastern Orthodox . worship. They even call their 'sacraments, "Mysteries." While I do not feel particularly at home at such lengthy, solemn liturgies-perhaps because the language and symbolism seems foreign-I find the. Eastern Orthodox tradition of solemn worship most ·valuable. Our age is

.'l

often described as becoming more and' more secularized. There seems to be little sense of the sacred as science progressively probes the mysteries of nature and man, and as technology steadily increases man's control 'of natural powers. In contemporary culture everything seems out in the open, nothing is sacred, little remains hidden. Man's sense of mystery is in danger of dying. Mystery: Tradition Western expressions of Christianity seem to move with the secularization of today's world. Recent religious interest centers more on man than on God. Becoming more human and building a better world are recognized as ways of fulfilling the Christian ideal. Worship has tended to take the same direction, seeking to make the liturgy readily understandable and easily accessible. While the contemporary Christian focus on man and the world IS basically sound and healthy, there is a growing risk of losing the sense of mystery that is so much a part of Christian tradition. The Eastern Churches remind us that God,who is certainly with us -in our world, is totally other than we conceive him, utterly beyond man's understanding or control. They highlight the mystery of God. Turn to Page Eighteen

For more than 900 years the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Orthodox Churches in the East have'gone their separate ways. After several schisms the final break came in 1054 when the pope and the patriach of Constantinople excommunicated each other.

Attempts to heal the break were made during the Middle Ages but these failed for lack of grassroots' support. Now at long last the. prospects for a reunion of the Churches of the East and' West appear brighter than they have for centuries. In 1995 Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras, spiritual leader of some 130 milljon Orthodox, lifted the mutual excommunications.

Gallahue Story' "Destroyed By Preposterous Blunders

Eastern Orthodox

In The Jesuit (Stein and Day, 7 E. 48th St., N.Y. 10017. $7.95), John J. Gallahue has performed a remarkable feat. H~ has taken a bizarre but believable theme and, by clumsy mIshandling, made it unbelievable. Mr. Gallahue's novel deals with one Alexander Ulanov, an American of Rus- ,less series of preposterous blunsian descent. In 1931 he is ders. Suprious Detail a scholastic in the Jesuit order.

Maryland is opposed to his going, for he senses some vague yet serious deficiency in the man. Once in Rome, Ulanov begins a three-year program of intensive preparation for a task still only hinted at. Two other Jesuits, a Frenchman and a Jewish convert are also involved in the program. All three realize that, in the end, only one will be chosen: they are, then, rivals.

Thus when Ulanov is dispatched from the U. S. to Rome, he is escorted by none other than the Apostolic Delegate to the United States. The Apostolic Delegate refers to himself as "ambassador from one sovereign state to another (which he is not), and as "archbishop to America" (which he is not). Pacelli addresses the Delegate as "Nun· cio" (which he is not), and the Delegate undertakes to "autograph a picture of the Pope" (which he would not do unless he had taken leave of his senses). ' A subject with distinct possibilities comes to nothing, borne down by the weight of spurious detail and a leaden way with plotting. Stylish Writing

Tourists wade in the Pool of Siloe where Jesus sent the man born blind. The pool is fed by water from the Spring of Gihon carried through a 2,700 year old tunnel ordered built by King Hezekiah.

The Waters of Siloe starting from opposite ends, met each other in the middle. When the stone was removed it broke into six or seven pieces but was restored and can be seen in the Museum of the Ancient Orient in Istanbul. A few of the words were lost but the text as reconstructed reads: "When it was being bored through, this was the manner in which it was bored through. While ... the pick-axe, each man toward his fellow, and while there were still three cubits to bore through, there was heard the voice of a man calling to his fellow, for there was a fissure in the rock on the right and on the left. And when it was bored through, the quarrymen struck' toward each other, pick-axe against pick-axe, and the water flowed from the spring toward the reservoir for 1,200 cubits. And the height of the rock above the heads of the quarrymen was 100 cubits."

Continued from Page Sixteen Those churches which derive from the churches of the East are known as "Orthodox" which signifies "right belief." Sometimes they are also called Eastern Orthodox or Greek Orthodox. They believe that the Orthodox Church is the "authentic and infallible interpreter of the faith." The commonwealth of orthodox Churches consists of a number of independent churches who recognize the patriarch of Constantinople as the titular head of Orthodoxy. The patriarch wields no direct authority over othp.r patriarchs or bishops; his patriarchy as such includes only a small flock in Turkey. Only about 1 million Orthodox fall under the direct jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constantinople and the other three ancient patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. The strength of Orthodoxy lies in the independent churches of Russia, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Greece and Bulgaria along with a number of smaller national churches. Perhaps 40 million Soviet citizens consider themselves Russian Orthodox. Most Orthodox live under Communist regimes and have borne the brunt of the anti-religious persecutions. The Orthodox differ from Catholics in some customs as well as in doctrines. For example, the most Orthodox parish priests are married men while ,bishops are drawn from the ranks of the celibate monks. The Orthodox allow divorce for specific causes such as adultery, impotence, desertion, insanity; the innocent party may remarry. Ecumenists pray that the relatively minor differences which keep Orthodox and Catholics apart may be resolved and the tragic division may become a thing of the past.

Trash Can Ads To Be Removed SOUTH BEND (NC) - Abortion advertisements which have been displayed on public trash containers here will be removed by the end of the month. The advertisements became the subject of the protests by the . St. Joseph County Right to Life Committee when the ads began to appear on the containers, which were supplied to the city under a contract between the South Bend Board of Public Health and Plast-Ad, the suppiers.

Sense of Mystery Continued from' Page Sixteen' It is a common tendency to try to bring God down ·to human terms, to make him in the image of current human ideals and values. It is perhaps a particularly Western temptation to think one can know God by defining him in precise words. The Eastern Orthbdox Churches preserve the JudaeoChristian tradition of awe and wonder in the mysterious Presence of the Almighty. They are a constant reminder that man approaches God with fear and trembling, . even as one .approaches him confidently as a Father. They show us that worshiping God is more radically Christian than thinking, talking about and attempting to define God.

Catholic Officia I Hits Guidelines On Sterilization WASHINGTON (NC)-A new set of government guidelines for sterilization of minors and mentally retarded "smacks too much of 1984," according to Msgr. James T. McHugh, director of the Family Life Division of the U. S. Catholic Conference (USCC). . "There's no reason why the government should be sponsoring sterilization as part of family planning," the USCC official said. "It jis a radical procedure that is virtually irreversible, morally unacceptable to many people, and too easily used against· the poor and minorities." The question of government sterilization guidelines made national headlines in July when it was revealed that an Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) family planning clinic in Montgomery, Ala., sterilized two poor black girls. Critics of the action said the clinic obtained, consent for the operation by misrepresentation. Particular Points The U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), which funds OEO's health activities, stopped sterilizations on those who are under 21 or who are legalIy incapable of consent until it could draw up what it considered adequate guidelines to protect these groups from exploitation. While Msgr. McHugh objected principalIy to the whole idea of government-sponsored sterilization, he also objected to several particular points in the guidelines. One basic problem, he said, was the lumping of all the mentalIy retarded into a single group in the guidelines. "Not everybody who is mentally retarded is incapable of having children," he said. "Many of them can become fine parents and raise fine families." 'Internationalized' He also voiced strong objections to the idea of sterilizing those under 21 years of age, even if they want the operation. "Many young people get carried away by the propaganda of ZPG (Zero Population Growth) or Planned Parenthood," ,he said. "They might change their minds after more consideration. But in most cases this operation is irreversible." Under the proposed HEW guidelines-which still must get final approval - HEW-funded sterilizations on minors or those incapable of legal consent must, be reviewed by a local review board of five people appointed by local authorities responsible for the program or project. Msgr. McHugh objected that this process was too' "internationalized." "What it comes down to," he said, "is that they're going to perform sterilizations, and the guideHnes are set up to enable them to do this."

New Catechetical Directory Head Cites Need for Education on Publication WASHIGTON (NC)-"Do you mean they're calling you down to Washington just to make a list of the names of people who teach religion?" This was the reaction Msgr. Wilfrid F. ·Paradis got from a lawyer friend when he told him he would be spending his next two years heading a project to develop a National Catechetical Directory (NCD). Msgr. Paradis laughed at the incident during an interview with NC News here,. but he said it was a good example of the fact that "most people don't understand what the National Catholic Directory is supposed to be." Despite its name, the directory will not be a list of names and phone numbers. It will be a basic statement of what should be done in religious education in this country. It will be based mostly on the General Catechetical Directory issued by the Vatican in 1971, the documents of the Second Vatican Council, the U. S. bishops' 1972 pastoral letter "To Teach as Jesus Did," and their 1973 statement on "Basic .Teachings for Catholic Religious Education." 'Pastoral Document' But it will also be addressed to' the specific situation of reiigionand religious education in the United States today. "The directory is a response

"U will include 'a discussion of the factors in contemporary American society that are favorable to religion and of those that are detrimental to religion or religious education." Msgr.

, This shortened list would be sent to the bishop in the diocese who would investigate the candidat'es and select, solely from 'those candidates, the names he will submit to the regional meetings of the bishops. Following a review by the NCCB's Committee on the Nomination of Bishops, the president of the NCCB would present the list of candidates to the Vatican and send a copy to the apostolic ,delegate, thus bypassing the apostolic delegate's influence in the nominating process.

Relief Agency Aids Drought Vilcti'ms, - NEW YORK (NC) - Catholic Relief Services has shipped emergency medical supplies to Senegal and Upper Volta, two of the six African nations whose people are suffering under a catastrophic drought. The shipment to Senegal contained 16 cartons of vitamins and 21 cartons of antibiotics. The shipment to Upper Volta consisted of 24 cartons of vitamins and 32 cartons of antibiotics. Also included, in each shipment were several demonstration kits of a new type of equipment for irrigating crops direc~ly at the roots.

to consider the proposals at its next meeting in November. He said, however, that the bishops "would be very cautious about abdicating a responsibility . . . into the hands of a committee." The proposals, Bishop Flanagan said, "would be a model for study," but implementation or adoption Gould not be done quickly. He added, that the 1972 Roinan Norms concerning episcopal nominations "now provide for greater consultation with priests, religious and laity" than earlier procedures. Many bishops are consulting more with individuals as a result, he 'said. Bishop Flanagan said that individuals may now suggest names for nomination and that "often the names of the men that are presented are from other dioceses."

"In times past, a catechism might have been sufficien, as was done after the Couml of Trent or at the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore. But there is more to this project than a religious education handbook." Basic Tool _Since he was named project director for the NCD, the priest from Manchester, N. H., has been gearing up for the formidable task of creating the basic tool that will determine the directions of Catholic religious education and formation in his country for years to come. The directory, he said, "must· meet the needs of ail American Catholics. It must meet the needs of all age groups, all educational 'levels, and alI cultural and ethnic ' groups. It' must meet the needs of migrants, and even of tourists. There should be a particular emphasis on special education for the handicapped. "There will be a great emphasis on adult education. This is recognized now as basic to religious education." Msgr. Paradis moved into his new offices in the U. S. Catholic Conference here Aug. I. Before his appointment as project director for the NCD he was episcopal vicar for Christia~ formation in the diocese of Manchester.

Proposes Bishop Selection Changes WASHINGTON (NC)-A series of proposals which would give greater responsibility for choosing new bishops to diocesan committees have been presented to a U. S. bishops committee by the Canon Law Society of America. However, Bishop Bernard J. Flanagan, chairman of the Committee on Canonical Affairs of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NNCB), said that he foresees little hope for adoption of the proposals, which were the result of resolutions passed at the society'S convention last year in Seattle. Present rules, which were adopted by the Vatican in 1972, allow' the bishops of an archdiocesan region to consult informally - although not collectively - with clergymen and laymen in choosing a bishop. The Vatican regulations also permit the prelates to forward their own list of qualified candidates to Rome through the country's apostolic delegate. The list does not have to reflect the opinions of the diocesan level groups or individuals. Under the society's proposals, each diocese in the country would establish an eleven member committee-one' member appointed by the diocesan pastoral council-of priests, religious and lay persons 'that would draw up a list of episcopal candidates based upon the diocese's needs.

UTRECHT (NC)-In response to a letter expressing horror over reported massacres, the Vatican has told the Dutch bishops that it is considering possible steps concerning the situation in Portugal's African territories. In response to the Dutch bishops' letter, the Pontifical Commission on Justice and Peace said that the letter had been forwarded to higher Vatican authorities. In the letter to Cardinal Maurice Roy of Quebec, president' of the pontifical commission, Cardinal Bernard Alfrink of Utrecht, on behalf of the Dutch bishops, had urged the Vatican to support the efforts of missionaries aiding black Africans in Portugal's East African territory of Mo~ambique. Portugal has been accused of brutally repressing independence movements in its African territories, particularly Mozambique and Angola. Two Spanish priests, Fathers Vicente Berenguer, 36, and Julio Moure, 28, members of missionary society known as the Burgos Fathers, had reported the massacres. The two priests told a press conference in London that Cardinal Alfrink had asked the Vatican for a private papal audience for them so that they could tell the Pope personally about massacres in Mozambique.

Deodato Community Helps Augusta AUGUSTA (NC)-"We just go out and be friendly." A member of the "Deodato!' community was describing the work done by 15 young volunteers who spent two months living here as a community and serving society: The Deodato-which means "a gift of God" - community consists of 13 college students and two nuns from as far away as Brooklyn, Chicago and St. Louis. Sponsored by the parishes of Augusta, the pilot programwhich lasted from June 15 to Aug. 15-is the outgrowth of the Savannah Diocesan Vocation Committee's desire to familiarize young people with the Church in Georgia. The experience was also rooked upon as helping the young people decide their vocations in life.

The members of the community participated in Bible schools and worked in a recreational ,program in the black community.
