Church Workers' Rights 'Backed WASHINGTON (NC) - Msgr.

George G. Higgins has used his annual Labor Day statement this year' to remind church leaders that they must "unequivocally recognize" the right of their employees to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining.

Msgr. Higgins, U.S. Catholic Conference secretary for special concerns, also called for establishment of a "voluntary substitute for the National Labor Relations Board" to oversee labor disputes between teachers' church-operated~ unions and schools.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that the NLRB had no jurisdiction in such cases, leaving "no agency, as Msgr. Higgins put it, to defend teachers' unions against arbitrary decisions affecting' their collective bargaining rights.

The long-time activist, who -has been issuing Labor Day statements for a number of years, started out his 1979 statement by noting that when the church speaks of justice, it must be sure that it practices' justice itself.

Noting the right to organize, 路Msgr. Higgins said that "recent events in the United States 'have led some observers to question

whether or not church-related institutions are prepared to honor this right in practice as well as in theory."

While those observations may not be accurate, "they reflect a growing sense of uneasiness" about the church's commitment

Testament VATICAN CITY (NC) - A soon-to-be published document on catechetics will stand as "the testament" of the pontificate of Pope John Paul I, said his successor.

Speaking to some 20,000 people at his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square, Pope John Paul II said the brief reign of the late pope "left a special mark on Rome and on the universal church.

Pope John Paul I had hoped to publish a document on catechesis based on the October 1977 Synod of Bishops, the pope said, but "death did no~allow this great pope to publish' his exhortation on that key theme for the life of all the church."

Fifty Years of Service Fifty years of service to the priesthood were celebrated earlier this month by the Sisters Servants of Our Lady Queen of the Clergy, who staff three diocesan rectories.

The lucky parishes are St. Louis de France, Swansea, where Sister Rose Boulay is assigned; Sacred Heart, New Bedford, with Sister Rita Thibeault; and ,St.' Anthony of Padua, also New Bedford, where Sister Rita Messier and Sister Leonie Jean keep the 20-room rectory sparkling.

The community was founded· in 1929 by Father Alexander Bouillon of Lac-au-Saumon, Quebec, where its motherhouse is located. The motherhouse was the scene of this month's celebration, attended by six bishops and nearly all the community's 160 members, who serve rectories, seminaries and bishops' residences in the United States and Canada.

The purpose of the Sisters Servants is the service of Christ in his priests.

"Our whole life is dedicated to the priest," declares an explanatory leaflet. "In him we see Jesus, Savior of the world.

Members of the community are mostly Canadian, said Sister Rita, but some· are American.

.themoorin~ Back to School

'

Some mothers will jump .for joy and others will weep a tear or two as their children return to or enter school for the first time next week. F:or everyone who cares, the re-opening of our classrooms is more than an annual event. It is an important moment in the growth pattern of the total society of man. ' Education affects eternity. For this reason all of us should be more than merely passive about the even~s of the coming school year. Education, it should always be remembered, must have as its prime focus the child and in a very real way,' insofar as it is feasible or allowed by law, the family. , So many have forgotten that education, be it private, public or parochial, is for children.

Unfortunately, today too many people are using our educational' institutions. Consider the intrusion of the courts and the state into the classroom. In some public school situations many teachers have been reduced to the status of highly trained babysitters. The concept of discipline in the classroom. has for all practical purposes become an object of scorn and derision.

In many local situations school committee members themselves have used their offices merely as a stepping stone to public notice to further their goals of higher elective offices. Thus many public school students have become mere pawns of political ambition.

This is indeed unfortunate. Our public -schools are one of this nation's most, valued equcational forces. Yet it must be remembered that they are not the only education:. al institutions that should be the object of public concern.

Our parochial school system should also be the object of public interest路 and solicitude. Yet in many communities, even here in our own diocese, this is not, the situation.

Only recently in one area city the Catholic church was the object of political invective on the part of a school committee member. As usual, the complainant fal1edto mention the contribution that the church in this diocese makes to the total well-being of the community, especially in the field of education.

Recent figUres from the diocesan office of education indicate that "7,505 children will attend parochial elementary schools this Year, an increase of five percent over last year. Over 3,262 young people will return to the senior high schools, an increase of seven percent over last year.

Now, given the fact the state estimated that in the 1977-78 school year the per pupil ,a\."erage statewide cost was $1488 for grammar school and $1837 for senior high school, the amount saved taxpayers by the existence of the Catholic school system is enormous.

In our own diocese, at a minimum, the cities and towns save well over $11 million on the elementary level . and nearly $6 million on the senior high level.

Ambitious politicians should think of the damage such an addition to the tax rate would do their political' future when they have the audacity to become sarcastic opponents of the educational freedoms of their constituents.

The return to school is such an important moment in the lives of so many that it should not become a time of division and hurt. Rather, it should be a moment of great pride, when the total community seeks the very best for all its children.

If we truly care, we will try to achieve this ideal.. \

New Style of Papal Vacation

By Jerry Filteau Papal summer vacations have changed under Pope John Paul II.

"-

On Aug. 17 Pope John Paul held a late evening candlelit visit and songfest with youths from four apostolic groups on the grounds of the papal summer villa at Castelgandolfo.

Under Pope Paul VIol' his, predecessors such an event would have been startling. But it was only the latest in a series of encounters with youth that Pope John Paul has hosted.

Recently, a heated swimming pool was completed in the villa kfor the first athletically inclined pontiff in recent memory. The pope reportedly has, had his Swiss Guards join him in the pool.

Pope' John Paul flies by helicopter to Rome every Wednesd~y for his general audience a practice initiated by Pope Paul for the, 1975 Holy Year.

But the Sunday Angelus talks atCastelgandolfo have changed.

home in Rome. A recent evening was typical.

A four-hour encounter with Polish and Italian youths began about 6 p.m. wth a concelebrated folk Mass. ' Later there were talks and religious so~gs and the pope met with many of the youths individually. As darkness fell, the pope lit a large candle and passed the flame to the scores of smaller candles held by the youths.

Two nights later the pope was entertained in the villa's Swiss Hall by a visiting ;Polish folk group which met with him in the afternoon and returned at 8 p.m. to give him a show of folk songs and dances. They closed the evening by reciting the Our Father and singing a final folk song together.

A recent picture in an Italian 'newspaper showed the pope in the midst of a singing circle of Polish youths with their hands crossed in front of them and linked' ,to the person on either side. The white-cassocked pope held hands. with an archbishop on his left and a teen-age girl on his right.

Even L'Osservatore Romano, the staid Vatican newspaper known for its page one posed shots of the pope 'Yith an important visitor or presiding over a liturgical ceremony, has car- \ ried pictures of the pope lighting a bonfire amid seated youths and the pope talking to a sea of young faces lit by ~andlelight.

Letters to the Editor Letters are welcomed. but sho~ld be no more than 200 words. The editor reserves the right to condense or edit, if deemed necessary. All letters must be signed and Include a home or business address.

Dislikes Column Dear Editor: I feel I must write this letter in as Christian like manner as· possible. However, each time I read Marilyn Roderick's column the Holy Spirit must work overtime to keep me from "blowing off steam."

I have been raised in the Catholic faith but .only recently have returned actively as a participant in the Holy Mass along with the Renewal of the Catholic Church. For this reason I have subscribed to the Anchor newspaper and have enjoyed the majority of articles.

However, Marilyn Roderick's column has absolutely no place in this newspaper. Each week she advertises and boasts (as I see it) about her family. One week she wrote about taking her daughter shopping for back to school clothes in a most annoying way. This last issue was the absolute pinnacle of a continuing series of meaningless articles.

Granted, she is most fortunate to' be able to send two teenage children to college and another on a trip to North Carolina but what does this have to do with Christianity and the love of God? She writes that she is a "com- . bination tour guide and travel agent" and the fact that this week she has to worry about whether her daughter will catch the ·Bridgeport ferry' or whether they will have to drive her',there.

Most of us are concerned over the f~'tt that we can hardly afford the gasoline to drive us back and forth to our low paying jobs.

She ends with what she calls an ironic note in stating that Mom and Dad would settle for a day in Plymouth. [ suppose this is supposed to be humorous- however, most of us who subscribe to the Anchor do so in order to enrich our lives through Christian reading, not by "poppycock."

In short, Mrs. Roderick's columns (which end in a recipe are we to believe this is also a cookbook) are completely out of context in a Catholic newspaper..

Perhaps this letter may seem harsh-however, I have flo interest whatsoever in reading about Mrs. Roderick's seemingly happy-go-lucky "Ozzie & Harriet" type existence when so many of us are troubled by the worries of this world. Apparently they don't disturb the Roderick lifestyle at all.

Not Music Dear Editor: In answer to Neal and Anna Biron and their children (Anchor, Aug. 9) - I sure agree. In fact, the songs they try to sing at Mass today are anything but

music. Yes, what did ever happen to the beautiful hymns we sang all our lives? And when they start that string music if you can call it music - I just shudder (awful).

This past spring I was at Our Lady of Victory parish in Centerville and Father Moore said the hymns were coming back but as yet we have not heard one.

Last month I went to a wedding in Boston and when I heard "Mother At Your Feet Is Kneeling" and "0 Sacred Heart, .0 Love Divine," I really cried. Not . that I'm holier than thou, but the music aloIi~ is beautiful.

Yes, I have a practical answer. Go back to the hymns and do away with the songs, as you call them.

Helen C. Wholey Osterville

Two Extremes Dear Editor: A group of six were doing a rosary vigil, marching in front of an abortion clinic this past we'ek, where we witnessed the two extremes in relation to abortion.

First there was a young man who had· "delivered" his girl to have her abortion at the clinic, and remained on the steps of the abortorium and preceeded to heckle the marchers with every accusation he could come up with. ,In the midst of this, a young couple entered the scene. The father was objecting violently against the girl's intention to abort their child. He made his protests known inside the clinic, going to the point of accusing the doctors of being "murderers" of his child. Consequently, he was "escorted" out, since he had absolutely no "RIGHT" to defend his own child.

Upon coming out he told us his story, tears streaming down his face. He stayed some time, hoping his girl would· have a change of heart, and come out.

He waited in vain. We prayed for both of them, sharing the young men's anguish, the tragedy of the dilemma tearing at our hearts.

The U.S. Supreme Court has legalized the wholesale killing of the unborn, denied fathers the right to protect their own offspring, denied parents the right to guide and counsel their minor daughters, thus making us all accomplices to a holocaust of six million hopeless innocents, destroyed at will.

This is a free country? Where is the hue and cry from the news media? Can the Supreme Court also have destroyed the most sensitive of all instruments of justice, the human conscience?

The misuse and abuse of any precious freedom always leads to the loss of all freedom. we are well on the way. God have mercy on us all.

Latest Act Dear Editor: Your editorial on the White House cast of characters and its resemblance to a musical comedy gave me a cold chill, and I couldn't agree with you more, except I would classify its satire a tragedy for this country.

I hope that more articulate people will speak out as you did, before we become embroiled with this group of amateurs for another season.

The latest act in the administrations sad scenario is their shipping of home heating oil to Iran, where another dangerously inept Caesar, also in the guise of a holy man, sits center stage, orchestrating the Iranian oil fields low, and glowering at the western world, whom he ad-

Faith Top P'riority In Catholic Schools SYLVANIA, Ohio (NC) Catholic schools must teach service, academic excellence and faith, with' faith the top priority, according to Auxiliary Bishop Daniel Pilarczyk of Cincinnati, who spoke to Catholic school principals in the Toledo Diocese.

"Our schools have to be schools where people learn to, serve," he said. "They have to be schools of outstanding academic excellence.

"But, above all, they have to be Catholic schools. If we settle for some kind of unclassified altruism and great test results, we are being unfaithful to just about everything for which we exist."

There are American theologians capable of revealing Schillebeeckx-most notably David Tracy - but the NCR editors don't like serious or "controversial" reviews. That means Harvey Egan is trotted out to' patronize Schillebeeckx just as he patronized Hans Kung.

For Father Egan to write such a review is disgraceful. But that is what NCR editor Arthur Jones seems to think is a lively book review section, one in which the greater thinkers of our era are patronized ,by petty nonentities.

"Jesus" is filled with such insights and I strongly recommend it. I equally as stro~gly deplore the fact that the National Catholic Reporter turned the bOQk over to its resident petty

I should have just路 agreed with him and continued making supper. But,. I had to prompt a discussion. "Do you really think they ate an apple?"

He went right on reading, "Nope! It was probably a lemonl"

Jesus, in other words, is "table talk." Eating with people and being a host to them was an integral part of the mission of Jesus.

The early Christian table fellowships were much more a recollection of the secular meals at which he told parables than they were a commemoration of the Last Supper and of the death and resurrection (let me quickly add that neither Father Schillebeeckx nor I exclude the sacrificial component of the early Christian liturgies).

Now this insight is extremely helpful, it seems to me, for three reasons: 1) It destroys the minimal'interpretation of the priesthood that sees the priest as merely Ii presider over a ritual meal. If the Mass is a memorial of the table fellowship of Jesus and his followers, then the priest is also

2) We must expand considerably on. the notion of what the liturgy is. We have come to realize that the Mass is indeed a table fellowship, but it would seem that we now must explore in greater depth what that means ritually and ceremonially.

By Father Jolm Dietzen

Q. When I was younger, about 30 years ago, my parish had n0-

vena devotions one night a week. Other churches had similar devotions' on other nights.

Do any churches hold novenas like that any more? If not, why were they discontinued? 'I used to enjoy them and looked forward to these ceremonies. (La.) A. I'm not sure anyone knows the answer to that one. Perhaps it's something" like asking why, for no apparent reasons people stopped going to confession witl} anything like the former frequency. No one has the answer to that either.

My opinion is- that a major explanation of the decline in extra-liturgical devotions lies in the greatly increased emphasis on eucharistic liturgy since Vatican H. Today I believe people's devotional lives are far more Eucharist-centered. Many, who in former days might have attended novena devotions, now participate in evening Masses. Add several significant social developments (changes in parish structure, reluctance of people to go out at night, and so on), and you probably have most of the explanation why the kinds of devotion you speak of hav€' declined in American Catholic life.

Q. I am 14 y~ old, not Catholic, but I have two questions.

FIrst, J attend a Catholic church often, although my mother does not recommend it.

?•

•

?

•

•

I desperately want to receive Holy Communion. Is this possible? . Second, I read somewhere that you have to be Catholic to be saved. Is this true? (Ohio) A. My response to your second' question is easy. No, you do not have to be a Catholic to be saved.

Your first question is more difficult. I don't want to encourage you to go against your mother's wishes or commands.

She is primarily responsible for you and, I assume, cares for you very much.

On the other' hand, you are not a small child. You are approaching adulthood, and are gradually assuming full responsibility for your life and your decisions. If, then, you feel honestly attracted to something in the beliefs and worship of the Catholic Church, I feel you should at least do a little inquiring about it.

The details you give in your note are not enough for me to be more explicit than that. Pethaps you can talk with an adult Catholic friend, or arrange through one of your Catholic school friends to discuss your thinking with a priest. .

You want to follow the leads of your own thoughts and conscience, but you do not want to hurt your parents.

I'll pray that everything goes well for you.

Questions for this column should be sent to Father Dietzen, c/o The Anchor, P.O. Box 7, Fall River, Mass. 02722.

by St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River, is among" speakers who will address a National Drug Abuse Conference to" be held in New Orleans. The conference, largest of its kind ever held, will address social, cultural and medical a.spects of drug abuse and .alcoholism.

Croke will demonstrate a successful treatment program devised by Lifeline.

His presentation is titled "A Practical Approach to Case Management and"· Treatment." , He has directed the Fall River program since 1973.

Previously he directed the Taunton Municipal Drug Commission and was admissions officer at Brown University.

Christian Spirit "The spirit of every Christian must be a spirit of sacrifice." P. A. Sheehan

A giant banner of greetings that was singled out for special attention by Pope John Paul H and occasioned a personal meeting between the pontiff and Father Robert S. Kaszynski was also a center of attraction last Sunday night at St. Stanislaus Church,- Fall River.

At the church, ceremonies were held honoring Our Lady of Czestochowa and dedicating a benefactor garden and statues of St. Stanislaus and Blessed Maximilian Kolbe.

The banner, prepared for use when parish pilgrims visited Poland and Rome last month, was carried in Sunday's procession and those in attendance were invited to have their picture taken with it.

Father Kaszynski, St. Stanislaus pastor, related the banner's story in his SUriday parish bulletin: Our pilgrimage group drove to the Pope's summer residence on August 15. We saw the pope as he finished Mass in the village church and walked' back to his palace. He noticed our banner immediately, smiled broadly and appreciated our Polish greetings in song and cheers! That was at 9:40 a.m.

We were given the privilege of hearing the pope in his inner courtyard during his noon address. There, publicly and even on TV, the pope pointed to our group, read the banner aloud in Polish and then solemnly announced: '.'So, St. Stanislaus parish in Fall River, Mass. greets the pope! Well, the pope salutes St. Stanislaus parish in Fall River, Mass. and iJs pastor, Father Robert S. Kaszynskil" From the mouth of the Vicar of Christ!

'During the 35 minute speech an usher was walking through the courtyard with a little sign which said: "Kaszynski." When Fr. K acknowledged it and asked what it meant, ·the usher

simply said: The Holy Father would like to see you in his apartments when he is finished speaking to the crowd! The rest is history . . . 1:10 p.m. A moment, a smile, a grasp on the shoulder, words of comfort never to be forgotten! "The Lord takes care of His little ones . . . " Wow! Father Kaszynski added a few "credit lines" to his account, listing "Anthony Rogers (painter for the Coca-Cola Co. who volunteered talent, time, labor); Miss Jan Torres, who was instrumental in acquiring Mr. Rogers' services; Mary Zmuda, sewing; Stanley Zmuda; adjustments; Peter Homen and Stanley Golembewski, who held that banner afloat for nearly four hours in the hot Roman sun, in the midst of" huge and crushing crowds without ever once let- ~ ting go; Paul Gibson and friends who sought out suitable poles (sticks) in a Roman dump on which to mount the banner, sticks which have since .been cut up as real relics."

By the time Jesus reached Bethany, Lazarus had been buried for four days.

Martha, Mary and their many friends were at home. Someone ran in and told them Jesus was coming. Martha ran to the city gates to meet Jesus.

"Lord," she said, "If you had been here Lazarus would still be alive."

"Your brother will rise again," Jesus comforted Martha. "I am the ressurection and the life.

Whoever believes in me, even if he should die, will come to life; and whoever is alive and believes in me will never die.

Do you believe me?" , Martha wasn't sure she understood what Jesus' meant. But she said, "Yes, Lord, I have come to believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God." Then Martha went back to their house. "The teacher is here. He's asking for you," she whispered to Mary, who also ran out to where Jesus was.

She gr.eeted Jesus. with tears in her eyes.

"Where have you laid Lazarus?" Jesus asked Mary and her friends. "Come and see, Lord," they told him. As they began to walk to the tomb, Jesus was moved with sQrrow. Tears welled up in his eyes. He wept openly.

People saw Jesus weeping and said to one another, "See how much he loved Lazarus."

When they reached the tomb, Martha' was tliere: too. "Takeaway the stone," Jesus ordered.

A large stone had been used to seal off the tomb. Martha objected but Jesus reassured her and some friends rolled the heavy stone- away.

Then Jesus called out loudly, "Lazarus, come out!" There was a rustling inside the tomb. A moment later Lazarus stumbled out, tripping over the white burial clothes wound around him.

"Unbind hi,m," Jesus said: "Let him be free." Everyone was astonished. Martha and Mary were beside themselves with joy and wonder.

'People ran through the streets of Bethany and even up to Jerusalem telling everyone what had happened.

Second, parishes or missions without a priest every Sunday are encouraged to celebrate eucharistic services conducted by a leader designated as a lay minister of Communion.

Following the ritual for "Holy Communion outside Mass," they read scripture, share a few words about the day's texts and receive Communion. Every few weeks a priest comes to say Mass and consecrate a sufficient supply of hosts for the Sundays to follow.

When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know It's hard Everybody' wants her Everybody loves her . " Everybody wants to take your baby home When you're in love with a beautiful woman.

You watch your friends When you're in love with a beautiful· woman It never ends You know that it's crazy And you wanna trust her Then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone When YQu're in love with a beautiful woman You go it alone.

Maybe it's just an ego problem . Problem is that I've been fooled before By.fair-weather friends and faint-hearted lovers And every time it happens It just convinces me more. .

When you're in love with a beautiful woman You watch her eyes When you're in .love with a beautiful woman .

You look for lies 'Clause everybody tempts her Everybody tells her she's the most beautiful woman They know When you're in love with a beautiful woman You go it alone. (c) 1979 by Deb Dave Music, Inc.
