Bishop Daniel A. Cronin was among scores of prelates in at tendance Wednesday at ceremo nies at whioh Archbishop Jo seph L. IBernardin was installed as archbishop of Chicago. The 54-year-old former arch bishop of Cincinnati now heads the nation's ,largest archdiocese, succeeding the late Cardinal John Cody, who died AprH 25. Wednesday's ceremony fol-' lowed a round of farewell events in the Cincinnati archdiocese, where Archbishop Bernardin had served since 1972 and where he was an immensely popular public figure.

"I 'feel so welcome, I only bought a one-way ticket," said the grinning archbishop as Mayor

'Taste and see that the Lord is sweet'

Giving a year to God By Pat McGowan

"Taste and see that the Lord is sweet." That was last Sun day's responsorial psalm, recited in all diocesan parishes. It had special meaning for two young Tauntonians. Ted Pirozzi,20, and Jim Perry, 27, are preparing to give a year of service to lay volunteer min istries: Pirozzi to the Young People Who Care Mission in the Pennsylvania Appalachians; Perry to the Mercy Corps in Miami, Fla. Over the past few years, both young men have been actively associated with youth programs at Sacred Heart parish in Taun ton. Sister Peggy Fromm,. SUSC, Sacred Heart's director of reli gious education, feels their stor ies are worth telling "to give

other young people ideas about What to do with their lives." "I think,'" she says, "it is very important for young people to be open to the possibility of giv ing their lives or a portion of them to service of other people. "Lay volunteer ministry, such as what Ted and Jim are doing, is a wonderful opportunity to not only help others but to also learn about oneself, to grow and perhaps even discover the direc tion of one's life. . "I've met too many young peo ple," she continued, "18, 19 and older who panic. because they find themselves at the end of high school or somewhere in college and do not know what they want to do with their lives. "Unfortunately, kids. today pick up the idea that they have

to know what they are going to do the rest of their lives at high school graduation. That's a very, high expectation for an 18-year 61d. . "Maybe Ted and Jim might serve as inspiration for others who might want or need to take time out of their present lifestyle, career, studies, etc., to serve, others' needs. Many volunteer programs are available." Pirozzi, .son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pirozzi, is a 1980 gradu ate of Taunton High School. He completed two years at South eastern' Massachusetts Univer ity as a philosophy major and has been employed as a super market clerk/supervisor.

EVEREIT, Mass. (NC) .One of three priests who helped rescue sacred Torah scrolls from a blazing synagogue in Everett Aug. 19 said the chaplains 'went in "as part of our job. We weren't trying to be heroes." Father Dennis Conte, fire de partment chaplain for Revere, said that after members of Con gregation Tifereth Israel tried to push past firefighters and enter the burning 'synagogue, Rabbi Nehemia Polen, explained to him and two other chaplains the scrolls' spiritual meaning. Father Conte, Father Daniel Mahoney of Charlestown and Father Daniel Hagerty of West Roxbury decided to try to save the seven handwritten Old Tes tament parchments. Trained in firefighting tech niques and wearing breathing equipment, the chaplains were at less risk than members of the congregation. They entered the building and had passed three scrolls through a window when an explosion threw Father Mahoney to the floor and caused the sanctuary roof to collapse. "The heat and smoke were terrible," Father Conte said. "We had to leave the· building and Inhale oxygen to revive our selves." With the help of firefighters they returned to the synagogue and rescued the remaining scrolls before heavy smoke forced them out of the building. More than 100 firefighters from 10 communities responded to the blaze and damage was estimated at $500,000.. Cardinal Humberto Medeiros of Boston said, "I am enormous ly proud of these three priests. In saving the Torah scrolls, they saved the very heart of the syn agogue and its people. "At a time of increasing anti Semitic incidents throughout the nation, their heroic example is further proof that Catholics can have no part of anti Jewish bigotry," the cardinal said. Marc Winer of Everett, the synagogue's religious chairman, said, "from a Jewish.. . point of view, the value of human life exceeds that of the Torahs, but this is a tremendous rallying point for our community. The main concer~ in everyone's mind at the time was saving the Torahs." Winer said the congregation is "unbelievably grateful" to the chaplains. "They were in great peril and they went in anyway," he said. Another person added, "We have our Torahs and with them we can begin again."

VATICAN Cln- (NC) - Pope John Paul II has decided to es tablish Opus Dei, an internation

al secular institute of priests and

laity, as a personal prelature, a Vatican spokesman said Aug. 23. A personal prelature is an in ternational "diocese" under its own bishop and outside the juris diction of local church authori

ties.

"The pope has decided on the

erection of Opus Dei as a per

sonal prelature," said Father

Romeo Panicroli, director of the

Vatican press office, in a two sentence announcement. "How

ever, the publication of the rele

vant document has been post

poned for technical reasons."

Unlike a diocese, whose bishop governs all church members within a certain geographical

area, a personal prelature in

volves no territory. The members

have a personal relationship to

the prelate, or bishop, who

heads the prelature. A canon

lawyer compared it to the mili tary vicariate, which consists of a country's military chaplains -under the jurisdiction of a mili tary vicar.

Founded in 1928, Opus Dei (Latin for "work of God") re

ceived Vatican approval as a secular institute in 1950. It de scribes itself as "an association of the faithfUl, whose members dedicate themselves entirely to the apostolate and to the prac tice of an intense spiritual life without abandoning their own social enyironm~nt or the exer cise of their profession or secu lar occupation." Opus Dei has more than 70,000 members in 80 countries. The status of personal prela ture as an Opus Dei goal has long been rumored in inner church

circles, accompanied by a great

deal of speculation over the

power it would give the organ ization within the church.

An article on such rumors in the Times of London two years

ago said the achievement by Opus Dei of that goal or another one, the canonization of its founder,

Spanish Msgr. Jose Maria Es-_ . criva Balaguer, "would substan tially advance its ambition to be

the model for Roman Catholic ism in the future." The article

said Opus Dei was psychologic ally harmful to its members and was a secret society forming a church within a church.

, th~ m()orin~ Loneliness, A National Pro~lerri In the early sixties, social commentator Vance Pack ard penned a best seller, "A Nation of Strangers." This book pointed out that Americans were becoming wandering nomads , without roots or ties. Knocking about from job to job and place to place, families were being divided and displaced. The fact that many Americans were in the mili tary also aggravated this situation by fostering. a spirit of insecurity and isolation. Today in the eighties" more and more Americans are facing the harsh and difficult realization that they ,·are alone. A recent study on Loneliness in America offered the results of new research indicating that the emotional con sequences of persistent loneliness are in fact a greater na tional danger than anyone previously realized. Divorce, drug abuse and suicIde have dramatically increased as people go it alone. The reasons for this national problem are many and varied. The search for so-called personal freedom so fashion able in the past decade has severed family, church and com munity ties. A false sense of independence has led Ameri cans to the divorce court in such numbers that the current U.S. divorce rate is the highest in the world, with an esti- . mated one out of every two marriages failing. One out of five children in this country lives with only one parent. One out of eight children in 'a two-parent family lives with ~me'natural parent and one stepparent. Because life expectancy is increasing, there are more people over 65 than ever before. Currently they make, up close to 12 percent of the population. More than a third of these people are widows living alone and on limited in comes. In past days, it was the custom that people over 65 who had children or' grandchildren lived with or near them. Today that is just not the case~ , , .Adolescents are a group especially affected by loneli ness. The breakdown of family life, the large number of only children and the fact that many mothers are at work instead of in the home 'are among factors that have sent many a child to the streets seeking companionship and at tention. Encouraged and' enticed by the garbage culture of modem day America 'and with no moral standards or values to guide them, they become throwaway people as evidenced by the increase in teen-age suicides, which have risen 300 percent over the last 25 years. All in all, milli~ms of Americans are becoming islands unto themselves. Too many people are caught up in the contradictions of their desires. They want to be independent and faithful lovers, they want the support of a family but not its demands, they want a community but do not want its codes. Living a dilemma, many go it alone and lose themselves. The church in its concern for people is a vital catalyst in reaching out to those who are alone. Today special pro grams are being created and encouraged for the divorced, tl)e widowed and the single parent. On all'levels the church should be seen as a welcoming community. Those with the shared responsibility of leader ship, be it diocesan or parochial, have an obligation' to support and organize efforts to restore and foster that sense of belonging for which so many are searching. Family life, community and church should once again become humanity's refuge as man seeks the security of person so desired as a bulwark against the fragility of life. "

that is not all ours to write. Scientists have learned lessons discovered within the atomic world that range to the endless reaches of space and time that need to touch mankind at the level of his feelings and intui tions. The path of reason has led scientists on a great adventure that has provided many answers about the nature of our universe. The greatest scientists are the greatest pattern readers. Ran domness and ambiguity are walls which scientists do not care to be up against. . Atom smashers have created what many scientists believe to be the fundamental particles from which all matter has de veloped. New mathematics have been invented to describe the be havior of these subatomic par ticles and principles, are' emerg ing that are applicable universal ly. . Planck's constant and the speed of light are two invariants that help make the universe more intelligible for scientists. Just as scientists search "for invariants that mathematically define ob served symmetries, we need to define absolute values that can guide mankind in the countless mor:al choices that must be made. Today our understanding of the natural law with its primary precepts of doing good and avoid ing evil must be expanded to in clude our new knowledge of the nature, of the universe. Without absolut"e values, we cannot know whether God is ap

plal!dipg ,qur .\,!~~, of freedom to write the book of 'nature or whether we are tampering with that nature. Absolute values must be intuitively obvious and not dependent upon cultural norms. Amplification of our understanding of the natural law is alI the more urgent be cause technology has raised so many ethical questions previous ly unimaginable. The vision of faith reinforces three attributes of God that ex ist to a lesser extent in~man. God is all knowing, all loving and all powerful. Our capacities to know, to love 'and to enjoy freedom are absolute values that we need to uphold. The dignity of man is affirmed when we pre fer intelligence over stupidity, love over hate and freedom over non-freedom. Solving the riddle of the uni verse has challenged the human spirit as have few adventures in history. It is "a monument to hu man reason that patterns have emerged that have made our universe more intelligible. Absorbing and applying this knowledge is no less of a chal lenge to our human spirit and will require all of its resources. The new ramifications of th~ natural. law may initially be as unfamiliar as the mathematical abstractions used to describe sub atomic particles. However, with out an inner logic,' no law can remain appealing to either hu man reason or intuition.

Scholars' sorrow,s

With September almost upon us, i.t's a good time to talk about some early atti tudes and decisions that might make a difference in the kind of school life our children will experience this year. As a veteran mothetof a collective 32 years of school life, I believe I've heard the most familiar plaints found in families. Here are a few with some reflections on them. "I don't have any homework." Since I wrote a whole column on this a couple of years back, I won't do more than re-suggest that every child has some kind of homework every week night, even if it's only a book he or she is supposed to be reading. A good parental reaction for the child who never has homework is to provide some (spell the states, learn the capitals, write a letter to Grandma, read a book, or practice your math tables.) We found our homeworkless chil dren soon discovered they did have homework after all. "But I can study in front of TV." Television and homework

don't mix, according to over 100

teachers who responded to a re

search survey for my upcoming

book on healthy families. Par

ental control over the quality of

TV during the week is funda

mental to academic success. I

. know it's an endless battle but

if parents stick to the rule of no

more than an hour or two of TV

on school nights, the kids soon get the idea that they are not going to be allowed to work their homework in around a heavy TV schedule. "I can't miss practice." Over scheduled kids don't make good scholars or good family members. We have to teach them to prior ize and that means they can't do everything. If football, band, . or a part-time job become top priorities, then school and family become secondary and even re sented for taking time away from a child's activity. Some times parents have to exercise divine-right authority and say no for the sake of their child and family's health. "I was only one point away from a B." I never realized so many C's are only one point away from a B until my children plead ed for mercy after some privilege was, taken away as a result of slipping grades. We've found it important to establish our ex pectations of each 'child the first week of school and stick to thein. We deal with each child in dividually, according to his or her ability so we don't get caught up in the "but I got better grades than he did" debate. One might be expected to get a balance of As and Bs while another can get by with 'Bs and Cs but whatever the expectations, it's good to set them right off and establish con sequences if they aren't met (no

August • guns aIm for Cuba

Sometimes Congress does things that, by themselves, make absolutely .no sense. The trick, as we old Wash

ington hands long ago learned, is to put them together. Take my hand and come with me to Cuba, a country whose capacity to unhinge minds in the U.S. government can never be overestimated. In the dog days, when Congress starts contempla ting Castro, you have to send for the butterfly nets. First of all, the Senate this month voted to go' to war with him. Yes, it passed, by a vote of 68 to 28, a resolution that said we would use "whatever means may be necessary including the use of arms" to stop him. Later, it is true, the senators watered it down somewhat - there are faint hearts in every crowd but reading the record you can bear the drums and the trumpets of the truly manly chaps in the upper chamber. Might the senators themselves lead the charge? Would we have the first war in history fought by old men instead of young men? There is reason to hope.

Youthful suicides'

By MARY McGRORY

Symms has other qualifications besides' his fiery resolve to put Castro in his place. He is a famous gun collector. He could arm the Senate warriors from his own private arsenal, thereby cut ting costs probably in the range of the cost of that abandoned third gym. If you are still with me, I in vite you to the House of Repre sentatives, lest you think that Castro's ability to make men mad is limited to the world's greatest deliberative body. Recently the House gave a big push to Radio Marti, Ronald Reagan's scheme for telling the Cubans about Cuba from a tower built in Florida. Thinking about Radio Marti for more than two minutes re duces the mind to mush. What is Radio Marti for? Do we need to spend approximately $10 million to win hearts and millds in Havana? Doesn't anybody in Congress remember what happened in 1980? Thousands of Cubans flung themself on anything that float ed to get themselves to our shores. We wish to create more refugees for Florida, more appli cants for its welfare rolls? Radio Marti's chief House backer, a Democrat it should be noted, is Dante Fascell of Flori da. He says the Cubans don't know enough about what Castro is up to. Now, mind' you, Radio Marti would have no corres pondents in Cuba at least until the senators land. Jesse Helms, one of Symm's hawks, was a longtime ·broadcaster, and once the senators hi~ the beach, he could go live from the Bay of Pigs. Radio Marti is a big part of the big picture because Fidel Castro has threatened to jamit. And that - hang on tight here - takes us back to Des Moines and Ronald Reagan's old radio station, WHO, over whose airwaves, as "Dutch" Reagan, he was a happy sportscaster from 1933 to 1936. His alma mater station could be the first casualty of the radio cold war. It has the same fre quency as Radio Marti, which means that WHO will be restric ted to a range of 45 miles. That means that the farmers in sur rounding states who tune in at 5 a.m. for the latest grain and livestock prices will be out of luck. But it means much more than involuntary sacrifices in rural and business America. Jamming will be considered an act of war. A Defen~e Depart ment official, one James Duncan, told WHO executives that "if Castro jammed Radio Marti, it would warrant a surgical strike." In other words, folks, I hate to tell you, what you've been hearing are the guns of August

Dear Editor: .'1Father Dietzen's assertion of, Aug. 13th's Question' Corner, that the church has put out "seemingly contradictory regula tions on Eucharistic matter is quite contrary to actual fact. He attempted to' build his ar gument around one phrase taken out of context from General In struction number 283 on the Ro man' Missal, that. the matter should look like real food; the meaning' of which he assures us is it should look like bread "peo ple really use" (Wonder or Sun. b,eam?). He then quoted the au thoritative pronouncement of a little boy who did not recog· nize the traditional unleavened wafers as such. His arguments come to naught, however, when one realizes that , G.I. No. 283 follows G.I. No. 282 which states that the bread must be made in a~cordance with the tradition of the Church, i.e., of wheat and (in the Latin Rite) un· leavened. The remainder of G.I. No. 283 assures us that the phrase "must really look like food" does not exclude the tradi tional wafer-shaped hosts. Cardinal Seper's 1979 letter to the National Council 'of Catholic Bishops fully supports traditional church teaching on the matter; but more important th~n that is the resounding, clear, precise statement of the Holy F:ather in his public letter, Inaestimabile Donum, of April 3rd, 1980. In his statement the Holy Father removed any "seeming contradic tions" for he said: "By reason of the sign the matter of the Eu charistic celebration 'should ap pear as -actual food.' This is to I

THE HOLY FATHER'S MISSION AIO TO THE ORIENTAL CHURCH

Maryknoll lay missioner Susan Grace with her friend, seven-year-old

Ceraida Velenzuela

They bring hope to barrios

By Mark D. Lombard BARINAS, Venezuela (NC) In this city of 130,000 people stands a neighborhood area ro manticalIy caIIed Los Colinas The Hills. But ,the reality is that the near

est hills are the Andes, 20 miles away, visible in the afternoon haze only as a shadow in the dis tance. And while those who caII this barrio home ·are filled with a kind of nebulous hope in the fu ture, it takes only a quick glance down anyone of the' dusty, winding streets to realize that the people have not made it. Seven-year-old Ceraida Velen zuela dances the indigenous "joropo" dance in much the same way as a U.S. adolescent might disco. 'But Ceraida dances with unwelcome partners dime sized blisters dotting her legs, caused by the yeliow-tinted drinking water. A boy walks by with a severe third-degree burn that has left his hand blackened and fester ing. His mother had no money for medical attention. Yet also in the barrio, in it rancho not much different from those surrounding it, is a pres ence that may be sowing seeds of change in the lives of the people.

Two MaryknoII lay missioners, Susan Grace and Anne Loiseau, live as do the people of the bar rio, yet bring a message of hope, founded on grassroots commun ity groups. With three priests, a semin arian and a brother, the two Am erican women are part of the Maryknoll presence in Venezu ela. They focus on forming com munidades de base (basic Christian communities) as the fundamental building block of

effective socioeconomic and po litical change. Fighting a political patronage system that moves solely at the whim of and for the greater good of the political party, two reflec tion-action groups have been formed in the barrio to examine and chalIenge life in Los Calinas in light of the Gospel. The two MaryknoII volunteers have also begun training cate chists offering courses to lay leaders and celebrating and shar ing community life and history. "We wanted to help them build groups that are their own so as not to impose our culture on . them," Ms. Grace) stated. She said the goal of the barrio ministry is not to set up pre packaged programs created in the United States but to provide the tools to help people come to gether after the missioners have left. Several blocks away in another barrio, this one older and econ omically somewhat better off, Redemptorist Brother Simon Ripp begins a Saturday evening paraliturgical service with a short introduction: "There will be no priest at the service to night. This service belongs' to you...· At that point a lay woman in her late 20s who lives in the barrio leads the gathering of seven women and three men in

the singing of popular religious hymns and in discussion of Old and New Testament readings. Neocatecumenado, a program of retreats, stlJdy and reflection, has been alive for nine months in the ethnically mixed barrio of Colombians, Andeans and cam pesinos of the plains. The program demands much time: meetings twice a week as weII as Scripture preparation at home. There are 10-15 active

participants, During an evening session members of the congre gation read clearly and passion ately Scripture passages, after which the community reflected on how those readings applied to their lives.

They agree that one way to manifest love C?f God is to do good works. One of the good works has been the creation of an alphabetization annd "cons cientization" program. Venezuelans emphasize poss ession of documents and the ability to read and write can determine whether or not child ren are enroIIed in school, health services are obtained or land is owned. The importance of family re lationships, where home often projects images of instability and impermanence, is stressed in the literacy program. "Mama," ",Papa," "hijo" (son), "hija" (daughter), "tio" (uncle), "her mano" (brother), and "nino" (child) were some of the words written and pronounced repeated ly during a two-hour evening , session. "A liberating experience" is how lay missioner Susan Grace described the "conscientization" program. "Now the church is not just teaching catechism," she said. "It has to do with everyday life and everyday struggles."

'Brother Ripp noted that memo bers of the smaII groups have "begun to take responsibility for themselves," setting up and run ning meetings and programs , when a religious is not present. Scripture leader Celia said the group is responsible for "a real conversion" in her life. "I learned how to read the Bible in this group and now that I know how to do it I am excited by the Gospel," she said.

Have you ever wished your family had a priest? N.ow you can have a "priest of your own"-and share forever in all the good he does. . . . Throughout the Near East each year, gratefUl bishops ordain hundreds of new priests trained by people like you.... Their own families are too poor to support them in training, but good Catholics in America "adopted" these seminar· ians, encouraged them all the way to ordina· tion .... In some inspiring cases, this support was given at personal sacrifice. . . . How can you begin? Write to us now. We'll send you the name of a young seminarian who needs you, and he will write to you. Make the pay' ments for his training to suit your convenience ($15.00 a month, or $180 a year, or the total $1,080 all at once). Join your sacrifices to his. and at every Sacrifice of the Mass, he will always remember who made it possible.

Look at the nearest $20 bill. What is it actually Worth? Only what it will buy. Today, it will hardly buy enough to feed a family for two days. In the Holy Land, it will feed a poor refugee family for an entire month. The Holy Father asks your help for the refugees, more than half of them chil· dren. Your money multiplies--as you give it away.

In another development related. to the controversy over the Vat ican's links to the Banco Ambro siano, the international Catholic organization Opus Dei denied reo ports that it had offered to help the Vatican bank cover a multi million-dollar debt to the Ambro siano. Cardinal ;Benelli, 61-year-old archbishop of Florence, who for many years had been one of the most powerful figures in the Vat ican as undersecretary of state under Pope Paul VI, told the Ital-

ian weekly newspaper, II Sabato, that the Vatican bank, known . formally as the Institute for Re ligious Works, had no problems when ·it was headed by the late Cardinal Alberto di Jorio, Arch bishop Marcinkus' predecessor as bank president. "The goals of Opus Dei are exclusively spiritual," said a communique from Opus Dei. "It is therefore false that Opus Dei would have had any part in any financial-economic operations of any entity."

Hyacinth Circle: its 65th year The Daughters of Isabella, an international organization of Catholic women, is observing the 85th anniversary of its founding. Not far behind is New Bedford's Hyacinth Circle No. 71 of the Daughters, which will mark its 65th year on Sunday, Oct. 3, at a banquet at White's restaurant, Westport. At present there remain 10 charter members of the original group of 335 women who met first in 1917 in Carpenter's Hall on High Street, New Bedford. The late Helen E. Lowney was the circle's first regent serving from 1917 to 1979. Mrs. Carolyn B. Manning who succeeded her as local regent in 1919 went on to become national regent. .. In 1953 she received the Pro Ec clesia et Pontifice Medal from Pope Pius XII. A Junior Circle for girls 12 to 20 was instituted in 1934, the first such group in New England. It has since been disbanded. Through the years, charity has been an attribute of Hyacinth Circle. For many years the child ren of St. Mary's Home, New 6Bedford, were given a Christmas party; a group made bandages for the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home in Fall River. The missions were aided for many years by a clothing collection directed by the late Mary P. Quinn, a charter member. From 1946 to 1965 the circle aided in support of the Sisters of the Holy Ghost, more familiarly known as the White Sisters, who

ministered to the sick in the New Bedford area. Presently the Car melite Sisters of South Dart

mouth are among circle benefi ciaries.

In past years a prize winning drill team led by the late Mary E. Whelan, a glee club directed

by the late Mary Burke with

Miss Hilda Mathews as pianist, and a bowling league were among the circle's undertakings. Miss Ellen M. Gaughan, an of ficer of the circle for many years, wrote several plays and sketches performed for members and for area nursing home residents. The circle's present' Catholic Action Group developed from the drill team and now meets week ly as a study group. A recent activity participated in by many members was at tendtmce at the international Daughters 'of Isabella convention held earlier this month in H,art ford. Mrs. Julia Morris, the pres ent Hyacinth Circle regent, led the New Bedford delegation. The convention, attended by some 1,400 delegates and guests was addressed by Father Steven Preister, director of the National Center for Family Studies at the Catholic University of America. The Daughters have pledged to endow the center with a $1 mil lion trust fund. Father Preister noted that family life has fallen upon hard times with a 65 percent increase in divorce between 1970 and 1980 and with an estimated one third of married North American Catholics under age 30 In invalid unions.

Nevertheless, he said, the ideal of service to God and family,

chosen by the D of I as its con

vention'theme, offers a beacon of

hope.

"Catholic family experience is

one of rich diversity within the

common bonds of faith," he said.

This faith has historically help

"A vast supportive network of parishes, hospitals" schools, charitable organizations and lay movements is a living testimony to the concern and sense of fam ily mission which has existed historically with the North Am erican Catholic community," he added.

The priest expressed gratitude for D of I support of the Family

Studies Center, noting that "long

Permanent deacons Continued from Page Nine not women were ordained in the

same way the men were. Most of the de.aconesses we know of historically were in lit urgical ministry, rather than service. For example: Baptism. The ritual of Baptism then was total immersion and most of the people being baptized were adults. Let's say on 'Holy Satur day the cpurch is receiving both men and women and, after the first woman is submerged under the baptismal waters, you have on your hands one very wet lady. What do you do? It seemed inappropriate for a priest or deacon to do anything. So an order of deaconesses c~me into being, who attended to the newly-baptized women: dried them, clothed them, anointed them, and introduced them to the Christian community. Then the ritual changed and more and more infants were baptized and the order of deaconesses was gone. Any hope of getting it back? Well, in 1976 the Congrega tion for the Doctrine of the Faith issued ~ document that said you couldn't ordain women as priests.

But it was accompanied by an

official commentary that said

very clearly that the question of

ordaining women as deacons was a separate question. At least that indicates that this is still an

open question and has to be

studied further.

In the meantime, do you think

the reestablishment or rebirth of

the permanent dlaconate pr0

gram has helped the American

Catholic Church?

I think it has. Like Francis of

Assisi or Lawrence of Rome,

there are deacons today provid

ing a living sacramental sign re

minding the church that it is a

servant church. Some deacons are a real grass root,s-type presence; some are

sort of a bridge between the

priests and the people. Others

are active witnesses of justice

to the disadvantaged. Many min

ister to marriage and family life.

In places where a priest Bves

many miles away, often the dea

con becomes identified as the

local' church leader and becomes

a focal point for the community.

So far, in my experience, per

manent deacons have been very

well received by the people.

know your faith One. who cares By Katherine Bird

Dr. Michael Warren firmly be. lieves that a caring relationship bbtween teacher and student is ah essential part of the educa· tronal process. He' observes that "those who care for us have a s I ecial influence on us," Educators, parents and coun s lors, in his view, are in "car i g professions." Warren says, he sees his role a an educator in terms of "lead iJ'W students to a 'critical aware· n~ss of how the world works and wpy." He is a faculty member a~ St. John's University, Jamaica, Nlv., and a well-knows speaker ortyouth catechetics. !Teachers must "telegraph their concern" to students in their own wfYS, Warren says, observing that there is "no blueprint for this," ' 'one way that works for War re~ is to seek "the unique gifts ofL each student" ahd he uses ' various strategies to get to know eaFh person. He arrives at class early in order to chat with students in foFally. Agai!l, he assigns re flection papers to students. Of-

ten, this helps him learn a great deal about their uniqueness. During a marriage course, for instance, a student of Warren's wrote a paper on roles of men and women in which he revealed that he saw women primarily as sexUal objects. Warren was confident that he was reflecting a view of other students. To deal with the question yet avoid embarrassing the student, Wl!.rren read the paper aloud in class without naming its author. The reading initiated a class dialogue. The student, according to War ren, began to rethink his v~ews on the relationship of women and men. Over the semester, he grad· ually transformed his attitude. The educator keeps an eye on student behavior. He thinks many students fall into "self destructive behavior," indicated

by erratic patterns of sleeping, eating and relating to others. When he sees a student skip ping class habitually on Monday, or showing up late consistently, Warren talks privately with him or her, to find out what ,is going on. Often, he observes, students respond favorably to this con-· cern. , Last year, for instance, a stu dent opened up about his life style, involving heavy drinking several nights a week. Then the student said he knew he was get ting a D in the class but said, ''That's all right because now I'm working on my life." He explained that Warren had caused him ,to start looking at the way he was living and that he wanted to change. In Warren's view, many stu dents reflect the destruction they see around them.

'Casting out demons By Father John J. Castelot Jesus' power is made dramati· cally explicit in Mark's story about the Gerasene man possess ed by demons. It is found in , Chapter 5 of Mark's Gospel. The basic story has a folk loric cast to it. In telling and re telling, it acquired popular em· bellishments. Variants regarding its location may represent later attempts to bring the incident somewhere closer to the lake. The herd of swine in the account would,have had to run 30 miles from Gerasa in order to plunge into the waters. On the other hand, that con-

sideration may have been an ironic addition to the basic story, a bit of legendary humor. The important point is that Jesus was in gentile territory. Mark pulls out all the stops in describing the possessed man. He composes a scenario worthy of a horror movie: a graveyard, clanking chains, the superhuman strength of the chain-bursting madman who screams day and night, lacerating himself with sharp stones. When . he spots Jesus he rushes at him, but surprisingly falls to his knees before him, shrieking, "Why meddle wi~h Turn to' Page Thirteen

I felt uncertain and scared. I was beginning a summer pro gram on'serving as a special min. ister to hospital patients. Like most people, I'd been in the hospi,tal many times as a visitor. ,Now I was coming to stay all day five days a week. I was assigned to a cardiac care floo~.

But death came quickly that day, in spite of the best minds and the .best

equipment available. Several weeks into the sum· mer. I began to experience a sort of identity crisis. I was simply a summer extern. But· I guess I wanted to be God. What I wanted was the power and the'control to make things tum out "right" for people. I wanted, for myself and for the patients I served, to make sense out of what was happening in their lives.

They go to films like "Alien" and "In vasion of the Body Snatchers" where a powerful force from outer space invades and destroys life on earth. \ For Warren, some students, in their language and often destruc tive lifestyles, simply are "ex pressing the terror people around them are feeling." Therefore he thinks it impor 'tant for educators to help stu dents learn to function compe tently as adults in a complex world. He works hard to get students to question what they read and what they see and to make good choices about their own life styles.

For children Continued from page twelve There was silence. Those were the most common things the crowds were saying. Jesus looked directly into the eyes of his friends. "And you," Jesus asked quiet ly, "Who do you say that I am?" For a moment no one dared to speak. It was easy to report what others said. It was much harder to say openly what each of them secretly believed. Finally Peter spoke up. "You are the Messiah!" Josiah smiled, "That's what I've come to believe," he said to himself. "But I'd never have the courage to say it out loud as Peter just did. For hundreds of years our people have been wait ing for the Messiah to come and free them." Jesus seemed very serious. He gave them strict orders not to tell anyone this secret about who he was. "As God's Messiah," he told them, "I, the Son of Man, must suffer much and be rejected. But God will raise me up." Josiah thought long about lhose words' ::-;0 uici all, Jesus' other friends.

When it exists, religious learn ing can occur in many contexts: - Books, television and films often stimulate thinking about God or the meaning of life. - A conversation with a friend might offer new insights. - An encounter with others who care about their faith might show how the faith can be gen uinely lived. The message is simple, yet complex: Christians should be continual learners, actively try ing to grow closer to God and be of better service, to, others. The world desperately needs such Christians.

Next I began to doubt whether my own faith would benefit any of the patients or whether it was "strong enough for what I had gotten myself into. I shared those questions with my fellow chaplains. And as I listened more attentively to pa tients, a new awareness develop ed in me. I wanted God to make everything "right" because my way of thinking about him was too narrow. I had never stopped to meet the God of life's shadows or to realize that when we walk into life's shadows, we are likely to find that we can't immediately make everything "right." During that summer, I learned that my faith needed to open up to the broken and unhealed areas of life. Once I accepted that, with my patients, I began to explore how even in life's most difficult mo· ments' God exists. There was more to my sum mer than learning about life's shadows, however, I saw the amazing strength of life. Suffer ing and death are everyday reali ties in a l,300-bed hospital. But so is life's resilience. And in my work with other people, I found I was learning something important about my self, too.

As Mark explains in a paren thesis, Jesus had been saying, "Unclean spirit, come out of the man!" Sensing the power of Jesus, the demon tries frantic ally to neutralize it. But Jesus counters by eliciting' the demon's name: "Legion there are hundreds of us." Once again the magnitude of Jesus' task is underscored: He is con· fronted not by one, but by an army of demons. Sensing that he is going to lose the battle, the demon tries to bargain and asks Jesus' at least not to banish them from the territory. He suggests that the demons be transferred from the man to a nearby herd of swine. Here is where the sardonic hu mor of folklore enters.

for unclean spirits. The subsequent destruction of the whole demon-possessed herd magnifies Jesus' accomplish , ment. He has rid the entire dis trict of demonic influence. The reaction of the swine herds and townspeople is right _in character. Seized with super stitious dread of one who mani fests such awesome power, they beg Jesus to leave their land. But the former demoniac, now happily restored to sanity, asks Jesus if he' may "be with him" - the exact phrase used in de- . scribing Jesus' choice of The Twelve in Chapter 3. Jesus' refusal is not a brush off. On the contrary. he gives the man a mission to proclaim the Lord's mercy to his own folks. , , This mission to the gentiles is a reminder for Mark's commun ity that they too must carry the word throughout the gentile world. now that they like the possessed man, have been re stored to full human stature by the risen Lord.

Continued from page one keep the federal goverment operating. Also uncertain was whether consideration of the Hatch amendment, introduced last fall by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and favored by the U.S. bishops, also would be blocked by a fili buster. Baker noted that the Senate had come within a "hair's bread th" of reaching an agreement that would have precluded the filibuster and brought the Hatch amendment to the Senate floor the same week as it began con sidering the Helms proposal. The Christian Action Council, a coalition of Protesta~t pro-life groups which supports Helms and opposes Hatch, said the vote on the Helms proposal - since it is being attached to a "must pass" piece of legislation - will be the only significant vote on abortion by Congress this year. But Douglas Johnson, legisla tive director of the National Right to Life Committee, which favors both the Helms and Hatch meaures, said the match vote also would be substantive partly because it now is the only Sen ate measure to restrict abortion itself rather than just abortion funding. "Senators are not going to regard this as a meaningless vote," said Johnson, who noted that the vote on Hatch at least would provide a "reading of the Senate" on the abortion issue. The Hatch amendment states that there is no right to abortion in the Constitution, and allows federal and state governments to ,reimpose abortion restrictions.

Recently I was standing on a Maine promontory surveying the ocean and ships below me. Turn ing, I saw three young cyclists who had been traveling through Maine. One girl was taking notes and snapping pictures. Then she re ferred to a small Bible she had in a tote bag, saying "Isaiah, where are you?:' Finall~' shl' exclaimed, "Look! Here, here where it says 'Moun tains that sing, and trees that clap their han!is!'" Looking all about her she said, "Isn't this it? Isn't this the same thing?" I certainly agreed with her and added, "Perhaps we might also say, 'and waters that wash away one's pain.''' About the Bible: the girls said they prayed morning and even ing, each reading a verse from the Bible, then discussing it. They said that unless God was with -them they wouldn't have dared go off on their cycling adven ture. I kept thinking about those young girls as I went on my way. I couldn't help thinking that we are indeed living in a time when the Spirit is erupting everywhere. There is this manifestation of the Spirit in unexpected places. The affirmation all around us, where ever we go. There is so much about the ministry of Jesus that grabs us. For instance, I love its open endedness, that it's not a closed book,.it gives us something to do, it shows confidence in US. We are a· people who follow One who said to his disciples, "Greater things will you do be .cause I go." The. ways that God worked with his people after' Jesus are the multiple manifestations of the Spirit. Yet the Spirit is al ways something that institutions and establishments have trouble with. It's'very hard to order and .control. Things always seem to be breaking out and bubbling over in unc.ontrollable ways. When we come together for worship,. our task is both to re member our heritage and to ac knowledge a mystery. 'Whatever we know about ourselves and whatever we· understand about Jesus are in the vast context of the unknowable God who is al ways beyond our idea of him.

"Piaf: The Early Years" (20th Century-FOX International Clas sics): This is the life of French singer Edith Piaf from birth to her first step into the limelight of a top Paris variety theater in the early 1930s. Through crush· ing hardships she nurtured her talents and gradually left behind .the seedy underworld of crimin als and prostitutes to become an international celebrity until her death in 1963. The'most notable aspect of the film is its musical soundtrack, blending Piaf record. ings with those of Betty Mars whose, voice is yirtually indis tinguishable from the original. Director Guy Casaril can, how ever, do little about the flat, episodic script which depends on Brigitte Ariel as Piaf to main tain interest, a task she under takes with only moderate sue· cess. Because of Piaf's notorious affairs of the heart, the film is rated A3.
