Cardinal wants

scandal repaired

WASHINGTON (NC) - Car­ dina'! Jean Jerome Hamer Aug. 23 repeated Vatican demands that U.S. Religious who signed a pro-choice abortion ad last year must declare their support for church teaching on the topic.

Some women Religious in­ volved have iI'eportedly been cleared now on the issue. ' The cardinal, who heads the VatioanCongregation for Reli­ gious and Secular Institutes, praised "the good will" of the Religio\is and their superiors in­ volved in the controversy. He met with some of them Aug. 17 at the Vatican nunciature in Washing,ton, a nunciature offi­ cial said.

Ca~dinal Hamer's statement was issued in Wa,shington the day he was leaving the United States to return to Rome. In it he repeated the demand that signers who have not yet done so must "take steps to repair the scandal (caused by the ad) by in­ dicating their adherence to the teaching of the church" regard­ ing abortion.

On Aug. 25 a nun in 5t. Louis, Sacred Heart Sister Mary J. Byles, reportedly said she was cleared without having had to reca'i1f' on"the 'M. 'Rusself S~'aw, a public affairs spokesman 'for the U.S. bishops. said he has been told that "severa'l of the women Religious" who signed the ad "have reached a meeting of minds" with the Vatican con­ gregation.

Half of Cardinal Hamer's 1,100-word statement was de­ voted to spelling out his congre­ gation's position on the contro­ versy involving Religious who signed a declaration on 'abortion

usee

which was published last Oct. 7 as a full-page ad in The 'New York Times. The ad was sponsor­ ed by Catholics for a F~ee Choice, a group backing an op­ tion for abortion.

Cardinal Hamer stressed that the Vatican views the funda­ mental issue of the abortion ad in the Times as a confrontation over "the church's teaching ... on the roadica'l immorality of direct abortion" arid not as a question about 'legitimate "free­ dom of conscience" :among Cath­ olics, as claimed by some who signed the ad. The central con­ cern, he said, was the part of the 'ad "describing as 'mistaken' the belief that condemnation of di­ rect abortion is the 'only legi­ timate Catholic position.''' .

"Conscience cannot be pro­ posed as a principle to legiti­ mize contradiction of the church's clear and' autho~itative teaching on abortion," he said.

The "expression of opinions" Jinvollves both "~igihts land duties," he said, 'and one of the duties of Oatholics in forming

CARDINAL HAMER

their consciences is "to observe the moral, teaching of the church."

In his six-point clarification of the Vatican position concerning the issues at stake, Cardil)al Ha­ meralso stressed that his con­ gregation was working through the supe~iors of the Religious who signed the ad and that "due process procedures" would te followed.

"The congregation from the start has left it to the superiors of the Religious involved to se­ cure from them statements of adherence to the church's teach­ ing," he said. "Should this not, be possible in 'any, particular case, the matter would then be subject to the provisions of can­ on law" including due process procedures which fully respect individual ~ightsand dignity."

At the same time, he made it, clear that the penalty for failure to meet the Vatican demands could be expulsion from one's ,religious order. Regarding the due process linvolved he cited canons 697-700 of the church"s Code of Canon Law. These can­ ons deal with the steps that must be taken before a ReHgious can . be dismissed from his or, her, order 'for .'''grave scanda'!"" or "obstinate disobedience:" Three men, Religious and 24 women Religious were among 97 signers of the abortion ad. Each bf the men Religious subsequent­ ly made a' public statement say­ ing he adheres to dhurch teach~ ing on abortion. Until Shaw and Sister Byles spoke, there had been no word of a resolution in any of ,the cases involving women ReHgious.

Labor Day statement

For-profit health care

a threat to poor

WASHINGTON (NC) - Car­ dinal John J. O'Connor of New York, chairman of the U.S. Cath­ oHc Conference Committee on Social Development and World Peace, has criticized for-profit health care as a threat to the poor.

The cardinal, in the USCCs annual Labor Day statement, noted that on the 20th anniver­ sary of the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid, progress in providing heaLth care to all Americans is being eroded.

"In some states, there appears to be a ,clear ~elationship be­ tween the growth of investor­ owned health facilities and !I'e­ duced access to care for the poor and uninsured," Cardinal O'Con­ nor wrote.

"The tremendous growth in investor-owned facilities for non­ hospital emergency and surgical care is troubling. As such sys­ tems become the norm ... those who cannot pay and have no in­ surance wiH find fewer and fewer sou~ces of medical care," he said.

"We cannot tolerate public policies or institutional arrange­ ments that subordinate basic hu­ man rights to government cost savings or investors' profits," he added.

In a 1981 Pastoral Letter on Health Care, the U.S. bishops "strongly ~eminded us that heal,th care ds neither a commodity to be left to the free ma~ket nor an optional community service," the cardinal noted.

"Every person has a basic right to adequate health car,:! which 'flows from the sanctity of me and the dignity of human persons," he said. "The bishops called on the federal government to be the guarantor of a basic level of ihealth services for all, with special attention to the health needs of the poor, whose interests are usually threatened."

The Catholic tradition has viewed heaUh care as a ministry; as have other religious groups and communities, he said, add­ ing: "Now those institutions as well as Catholic facilities face competition from a variety of medical enterprises specializing only in profitable care of the af­ fluent and well-insur~."

"Fewer of the ,poor are now eligible for Medicaid; only half of those with incomes below the federal poverty standard can re­ ceive benefits," he said.

Moreover, he added, many public and private health-care facilities recently have reduced their services to the poor and many physicians wiH not accept new Medicaid patients.

Work~s also are not safe, he said. Health-care coverage is often dependent on employment and ceases if a worker is laid­ off, while low-paying jobs fre­ quently offer no health insumnce plans, he wrote.

Cardinal O'Connor urged local communities, parishes and dio­

Starving islanders MANILA, Philippines (NC) ­ The reality of starvation on Negros Island is worse than what is being reported publicly, says Bishop Antonio Yapsutco For­ ticll of Bacolod, Philippines. The bishop recently visited Manila newspaper offices and organiza­ tions seeking donations for is­ land sugar workers. The U.S. bishops' Catholic Relief Services, the ,largest church food aid agency in the Philippines, has donated $30,000 in emergency funds to the Bacolod diocese.

How Times Have Changed There is little doubt that a dark cloud of Americanpessi;; mism is beginning to block the economic rays of the rising sun.

Japan and America ,are locked into an economic battle that may yet win for the former the battle lost 40 years ago.

As Theodore White put it in a perceptive New York Times Magazine article, within the next 10 years we will finally know who won that aspect o~ World War II. Today the Japanese are on the move in one o(history's most brilliant commercial offensives. In the process they are dis­ mantlin~ American industry and once more fostering those fears played out in another way on the Pacific battlefields.

To. this day the Japanese provoke American unease because they continue to be a closed and inward-looking society.

It is well for us on this Labor Day weekend to remember that American industry grew up in conjunction and partnership with European industry. Japan is another matter. The Japa­ nese, already far ahead'in the race for world trade, are cur­ rently moving in another>direction.

Due largely to their export profits, they have huge sums available for investment and are controlling as well as pene­ trating various areas, providing basic support to American 'industries from California to Massachusetts.

In the Los Angeles area alone, the Japanese have direct influence on over 1,500 firms. Their inroads into American banking are now underway.

While this is taking place, one should keep in mind that Americans are all but excluded from Japanese capital markets and cannot sell freely in Japan. Consumer markets are also closed off by seemingly arbitrary regulations. ­ ,Today no consumer radios are man~factured in America, nor are black and white television sets. All come from Japan, ,as do most of our video-cassette recorders, hand-held calcula­ tors and high-fidelity audio equipment.

The automobile and garment industries are also victims of Japanese marketing techniques. Shortsighted American man­ agement and complacent unions have led to a steady increase in the consumption of Japanese cars by the American public.

Also hard hit by Asian competition are American garment makers who cannot compete against the low foreign wages that make it possible to undercut U.S. pay scales.

Many feel that what is needed is "a structural change in American life and thinking from factory floor to research , laboratory, from trade school to university, from reduction of , the federal deficit to a r.eview of trading policies~ American trade unionists must also get their house in order.

For too long have they taken America for granted. Union' refusals to retool, rethink and reform have given the unified and determined Japanese more than a mere foothold in our own industrial house. , Last but not least, we must begin to translate our university , and industrial research into practice. The Japanese 'are very, very good at what they produce. They are brilliant, efficient, aggressive people who place a prime priority on education.

Unless we start doing' the same, our deficit .economy will continue to hold ~ur industries and workers consumer prison­ ers.

It is imperative for America to face the 'Japanese challenge by finding new ways to share both world resources arid their corresponding markets. We have little choice but to, live In a wQrld that the Japanese are shaping. It ~ould be welUfwe could learn from them before time runs out and they take total control of world trade, which would then no longer be .free.

Howsand whys

By Father Kevin J. Harrington Small differences often make a great difference in the way that people think. Perhaps it may be considered an oversimplification, but several decades ago American philosppher W.T. Stace made this astute observation: "You can draw a sharp line across the history of Europe dividing it into two epochs

posited by the ancient pagans than upon the revealed truths of the Ten Commandments.

The saint's teachings reflect' an unchanging human nature. But if man's mind is the measure of all truth we enter a brave new world . of moral relativity. The trust­ wQrthiness of human reason ~ust . be s'ubjected not only' to the rigorous guidelines of the scientific method but to the collective experience of mankind. In short, moral teachings must be based on prudence, a virtue rarely men­ tioned or understood in o~r age.

Nevertheless, despite the popularity of the how questions, human nature will not let us forget the whys. To reduce the human mind to biology, chemistry and physics is to oust Goa from our thinking.

True, the brightest achievement of the Enlightenment, was its pursuit of the .scientific method, which has i'numinated so many hitt\erto unexplained phenomena in our universe. . .However, we must not so bask in that light as, to forget who created our universe.

No' matter how many how questions are answered, there will always be room both for religious faith and a religious interpretation of the physical world. Our world can never be totally predictable because it reflects a God of mystery. That is why human beings will alwa~s ask why?

Successful kids

"I worked so hard to bring up successful children," a 60­ ish mother said on a TV inter­ view show. "Now 1 look at them and they're all successful ­ and all unhappy."

She went on to explain that her children had positions of impor­ tance and money but personal lives filled with multiple marriages, depression, and alcoholism. "I wish I had focused on a different kind of success," she said with deep sadness in her voice.

What is a successful child? I use this question in parenting work­ shops and the answers parents submit are revealing. Some par­ ents respond with answers like these: achieving, responsible, ma­ ture, efficient, does well in college, and makes a good marriage.

These are not traits of a success­ ful child but a successful adult in our culture. To these parents, child­ hood is a period when qualities of childhood must be curtailed as quickly as possible to get on with the goals and stresses of adult life.

These parents mean well. They see ours as a competitive society so they put their children on a pres­ sure track early in life. The child­ ren must do well in pre-school to get into the top elementary classes to eventually make it into the right high schools and college. They must achieve in youth leagues to be eventual professional N AL players. They can't be allowed to fritter away free time because life is out there waiting to test them.

Homilies on work

When did you last hear a good sermon on the meaning of work? The question was raised at a Chicago sympo­ sium on the parish sponsored by Foundations and Donors 'Inter­ ested in Catholic Activities.

One participant contended that the topic of work is never or sel­ dom addressed in homilies.

After the symposium I ran to catch an evening commuter train.

As a student I had taken that train daily. Then, as now, hundreds of people rushed into the terminal, crowded onto the platform and once aboard the train collapsed in their seats.

As I revisited this scene, I won­ dered what I would tell these tired travelers in a Sunday homily on work. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest. Does a person who has worked all week want to hear the word "work," let alone a homily on it?

At first thought, probably not.

However, once he or she reflects on the fact that work occupies. most of our energies, and that it has such a decisive, formative influ­ ence on our character and person­ ality, I believe most Sunday church­ goers would perk up their ears to listen.

The French philosopher Albert Camus once said: "Without work, all life goes rotten; but when work is soulless, life stifles and dies."

The quote reminds us that while to really I1ve our lives we must work, good work is more than just ajob. Work should beforthe good

course, your brother and his fam­ ily permit you.

Naturally you ask God's bless­ ing 8,nd guidance for her.

I have no idea what her new church might do. But according to the usual understanding of bap­ tism, she would not be baptized again. Once one is baptized, in whatever faith, :t is for life.

Q. My husband and I were mar­ ried in a Catholfic church and were divorced two years later.

A year after that we were remar­ ried by a justice of the peace. Three yeal's later we had our first child baptized. Is there a place for us in the Catholic Church as a family?

CUI we receive Communion?

(Ohio) A. When you say you were remar­ ried by a justice of the peace, I assume you mean you were remar­ ried to each other.

If so, there is and has been nothing preventing you from full participation in the life of the church, including the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist.

As far as Catholic Church law is concerned, your first marriage in the church is still valid. Your mar­ riage by the justice of the peace was simply a civil ceremony, mak­ ing you again in civil law husband and wife following your civil di­ vorc=e.

This answer may seem obvious to most Catholics. I can assure them, however, that a large number of l:ouples in your situation are confused about it.

If you have not already done so, please go to a priest and get back to the sacraments.

Q. Is it possible for a person to san his soul if for years he has received the Blessed Sacrament whine in the stlllte of sin, due to embarrassment over sins omitted in the sacramernt of penancf,!?

He makes a perfect act of contri­ tion with a promise to straighten out and confesB these sins, but at the next confes!lion lacks the cour­ aae to tell them.

Then the same problem repeats itsellf, the same sin is committed and no courage. Is there a chance for repentance for this kind of person? (Illinois) A. There's always a chance for repc:ntance and for getting straight­ ened out with God. Confession of all serious mortal sins of which a person is aware is surely required in confession. No one can e'xcuse himself from that.

It is possible, however, for an individual to get so mixed up emo­ tionally and so unreasonably frightened by the prospect of con­ fession that his personal guilt before God is very questionable. It may reach the point where even the individual himself is incapable of judging his guilt.

My main concern, however, is your own confusion and fear which could so easily be eliminated or allt:viated if you would simply talk to a priest. It doesn't have to be your own parish priest. Your city has a dozen or more who would be anxious to help you. Please go and talk with one of them soon.

SAN SALVADOR, o£l Salvador (NC) - A Salvadoran court has oi'dered the ,reopening of the in­ vestigation into the death of Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Sa'lvador, killed more than five , years ago.

A spokesman for Attorney

.General Santiago Mendoza· Agui­

lar's office said his request for

the new investigation was grant­

ed Aug. 20.

The case had been discarded in December'after court author­ dties ,decided there was insuffi­ cie'llt·'eVidenceStiVtell who \vaS . behind the killing.

Archbishop Romero was killed .March24, 1980, as he celebr:ated Mass. After becoming 'archQishop of San Salvador in 1977, he had been a strong critic of the gov­ ernment's .human· rights record, and some government supporters considered him a guerrilla sYJ:ll­ pathizer.

Earlier this year, a report by the New York-based Lawyers Committee fOr Interna'tional Hu­ man Rights concluded that offi­ cial and private efforts to'investi· gate the 'archbishop's muroer had failed. , The report said a judge 'investi­ ga'ting the case was driven from the country by death threats, a special investigating commission Ihad been saddled with restreints, and ..the United States was· un­ ~ikely ,to pass along any informa­ tion it has to Salvadoran authori­ ties. , The report saida1though Sal­ vadoren President Jose Napo­ 1ean Duarte had assigned the case, toa special investigating commission, the commission had no· illuthority to release or take . action on its find;ings. , The commission had !to give its information and recommenda­ tions to Duarte or then-Attorney Generel Jose Francisco Guerrero, who, :was connected with the country's rult~a - conservative ARENA Party. The head of the ARENA Party, Roberto d'Aubuis­ son, has been 'linked to the arch­ bishop's killing by, among others, former U.S: Ambassador to El Salvador Robert White and a 'former Salvadoran intelligence ,offIcer: D'Aubuisson'has denied 'Sny role in the kiUing.

its attendant sky-rocketing sales and home rentals of obscene video cassettes. ' .

As one interested person ·said, "Why sPend $5 to see a filthy movie in 'a sleazy X-rat~ thea­ ter, when one can rent the same at .48 for showing in the home."

And with the aoded right' to lift restrictions of age applying to X-rated movies ina theater!

One asks why obscene cas­ settes are sold and rented in di­ rect violation of state and fed­ eral laws. The answer requires no expertise. Our -law enforce­ ment officials, as a rule, do not want to be bothered with porno­ graphy cases, as resultant media publicity is minimal at best. Our prosecutors appear to be indiffer­ ent and unconcerned, even when , complaints by the public pile up at their offices.

• This 'atti'tude boggles the minds of concerned citizens. These cas­ settes debase respected woman­ hood, disrupt responsible family Hfe, and tend to corrupt the, minds and hearts of growing children when they are shown in the sanctity of the home.

This is another example of a crime-controlled industry trying to put down the throats of un­ , suspecting people, its ideas on an acceptable way of 'life. It is simply a crass exploitation for the making of "dirty" money.

Our people should take serious notice before it is too late. In the English Parliament of many years ago, the famed Edmund Burke said: "It is enough for the triumph' of evil that good men do nothing." These words ring true !today!

Theodore F. Harrington Board member Mass. MoraHty in Media

Dear Editor: Following a recent life-threat­ ening medical emergency, I am filled with wonder and questions.

After standing on the brink of the end of me, it is frightening to ponder one's mortality.

I have always felt that suffer­ ing has a purpose and contri­ bU~ to spiritua'l maturation.

TIlls sort of emergency is not foreign to me, yet each time it happens I wonder anew Why God has given me life. I cannot help but feel that he has a job' for me.

While I know Christ said "Fear not, I am with you all days," I was very afraid. To be able to find Christ's hand in all that is inflicted upon us truly must be the epitome of faith.

Perhaps ~t is not so much fear that makes such emergencies so meaningful but rather the love which flows from mothers be­ cause someone suffers. I have received love in the form' of , warmth and considera'tion from family and friends.

What I had previously failed to see in Christ's promises was that no mention was made of by- ' passing fearsome events but only that he would be there when they occurred. I know now that he was lin my family and friends, holding, sustaining and 'loving me.

While I have not fully grasp­ ed, his true intent for my physi­ cal failings and possibly never will, I saw him in them and am once again grateful for his gift of life.

Pope discusses trip to ·Africa

VATICAN CITY (NC) - After returning from a 12-day trip to seven African countries, ,Pope John Paul II said the continent was graduaHy gaining maturity and autonomy.

At his weekly general audi­ ence, the pope said :that among signs of the church's maturity in Africa were its growing number of vocations, its careful liturgi­ cal preparation, its cultural and 'intellectual groups and its indi­ genous missionary activity.

"In this' way the .African church acquires its own native identity and gradually makes it­ self autonomous. It even begins to think of sending its own mis­ sionaries to needy countries. It wants to return the gift that it has received," the pope told pH­ grims in St. Peter's Square.

Above all, the pope said, mis­ sionary activity has character­ , ized the past and present church 'in Africa. Africans feel a "deep gratitude" toward missionaries for their work in schools, hos­ pitals and charities, he said.

"This intense missionary work is still indispensable. African bishops, churches end societies

•

want to have missionaries -priest and lay - and ask for them," the pope said.

In each of his stops in Africa, the pope said, he found that "the Eucharist was the main meeting place with the people of God and with society."

He had particular praise for the liturgy during a Mass of con­ secration for a new cathedral in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, noting "the spontaneity of the singing, the delicacy of gesture in the African dance and the forceful prayer."

The pope expressed special thanks to King Hassan II of Morocco, who invited him to address thousands 'of Moslem youths at a sports stadium lin Casablanca.

"This event merits special attention because it's a way of realizing the dialogue with non· Christian religions called for by' the Second Vatican Council," the pope s~id.

The parish hall, renovated by, Father Lyons in the late 70s, was once the main church. When the present church was raised in 1940, the old building was moved sev­ eral hundred yards across the grounds after its steeple was removed.

Today, after recent renovations. the hall provides eight CCD class­ rooms, office space, a conference room and open area for gatherings.

Father Lyons modestly refers to this transformation as his most outstanding accomplishment at St. Patrick's.

"I think that what has been accomplished ,since I've been here is because of the people," he said.

While the religious tenet may protect church colleges from hav­ ing to provide, abortion-related services, a non-religious private university also needs protection and "shouldn't have to perform abortions in order to get its federal assistance," Msgr. Hoye said'.

"That's the real issue."

Through testimony and other statements, the USCC previously has said it backs the principles of the proposed bill - the Civil Rights Restoration Act, H.R. 700 (informally, the "Grove City bill'') but believes that the legislation must contain safeguards against using it to promote abortion.

Probably your, most basic obli­ gation to your children, legally and' morally, is that of suppor~.

Most laws still speak in traditional terms, giving. the father primary liability as breadwinner while a mother's support has more "nur­ turing" and personal care over­ tones (this is likely to change as the economic structure offamilies con­ tinues to equalize). Although in an extreme case of neglect of these duties a child may be removed from your custody, most' court~ don't allow children to sue their parents directly for "inadequate care', e.g. food, clothing, housing, medical.

Hand in hand with your duty of support comes your po'wer of authority. Pa.rents get to make practically all decisions about their children's welfare, short of breaking any laws. This of course includes your right to discipline, which occasionally and tragically is mistaken for a license to abuse.

All states have "disobedient child" laws,a device for bringing your kid into,court if he absolutely refuses to abide by any of your

rules, and seems headed for serious trouble. The hope is that he may steer off his collision course when facing possible probation, a foster home or reform school. Obvio~s­ ly, resort to the courts should be reserved for fairly severe cases.

Chronic runaways and alcohol abusers are probably good can­ didates; the obnoxious, irritating and those whopabitually refuse to , clear the dinner dishes will just have to be dealt with more creatively at home.

The support obligation legally ends upon your child's "eman­ cipation", the magical age at which the law officially declares adult­ , hood. Though it's usually 18, a teenager can become independent before then by·doing certain acts, like joining the army, becoming self-supporting or getting married, but in many states, parental consent is also required for the marriage of a person .under 18 to be valid.

N9W that college has become something of an educational necessity to compete successfully on the job market, can your kids force you to put them through college too, even though they're past 18 and technically not your responsibility? This is a question judges may face in the near future.

other states, doctors, nurses, Some parents would say that such teachers and police are under a an extended support duty should give them equal decision-making legal obligation to report any power over things like choice of suspected case of child abuse or neglect to the appropriate social college, field of study and even welfare agency.

Ed Marciniak, another News­ paper Guild product who -once edited the'qewspaper Workfor the Chicago Catholic Labor Alliance, has given this question .much thought. He has sounded a timely ­ warning.

"The future ... of. the church's closeness fo the labor movement is by no means secure," he. observes.

"It is quite possible that the church's great tradition of deep sympathy for working people 'and their un­ ions...could could be lost to the United States and to the world."

Church 'too white' says Bishop Lyke

By NC News service The Oatholic Churdh "is stiU oppressively too white," Auxi­ Bary Bishop James P. Lyke of Cleveland said at :the National Office of Black Catholics' work­ shop in Atlanta.

The recent workshop was one of two national meetings of black Catholics. Three national organizations of black religious leaders meeting in Baltimore al­ so discussed how to express to the churCh and society their black religious identity, vision and mission in the United States.

At the Atlanta meeting Bishop Lyke said that 'all too often "the church has been slow to be lin the forefront, slow to make nec· essary ch'anges, and relate to the needs of today and of each unique cuoiture. IdeologicaUy, liturgically, financially, adminis· tratively and numerically, the churoh is still oppressively too white." .

He added "Clergy !I'eflect ra· cist attitudes or are not sensi­ tive to black people, or are not committed to the radical preach· ing on justice. Parishes Gack good programs for young and older !black people and parish councils are not efficient enough to respond to black needs."

The church fails to attract and train enough black lay people for :leadership services and lacks a sincere drive and commitment to black vocations; Bishop Lyke said.

Bishop Lyke call~d spil''ituality the greatest gift of black Cath­ olics. "Prayer is as natural to us as breathing, spontaneous and a,n-pervasive, our God is as close to us as our b'lack skin.

And !inseparable too. Our black skin cannot be separated from our souls. We never knew the distinctions that the white man placed between intellect and emotion, spirit and body, action and contemplation, individual and community, secular and sa· credo We are not diviiders, we are includers. It is for us all one; as me is one, as God is one ­ 'as we are one," he said.

Referring to the "seamless gar· ment" of ChI'istian va:lues often spoken of by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, Bishop Lyke urged that there be "a' seamless garment of concern, of conscious and efficacious efforts, to incorporate black Catholics within the structure of the

Kenneth and Patricia Berger

Parish administrators FLINT, Mich. (NC) - 'I1he first time Kenneth' Berger and his wife, Pat, stood before the con­ gregation at Sacred Heart Church in Flint as its new pas­ toral team, they were excited and humbled.

church, at decision-making levels, . diocesan pastoml councils, com­ mittees, boards, agencies. Is there an oU'treach to include black Catholics in areas that af­ fect the whole church or are they called on omy when we deal with a 'black issue?' " .

The Ba<ltimore meeting, mean­ while, was attended by repre­ sentatives of the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus, the Na­ tional Black Sisters' Conference and the National Black Catholic SeminaI'ians Association.

Josephite Father William Nor­ vel, the new president of the clergy caucus, said the develop­ ment of strong black leadership in the church lis needed to give people a sense of ownership.

Dominican Brother Jesse de Porres Cox, new preSident ,of the seminarians' association, added that an environment is needed in which blacks can feel at home and be secure in their blackness. Role models of strong black men and wom~ working in ministry are needed; this can be done if religiolis orders and diocesan offices take black voca· tions seriously, he said.

Father Cyprian Davis, a his­ torian, said the laity should be· come more involved in parish and diocesan affairs and' that Religious' and clergy' need to in­ form 'the :laitY of positions avail· able for them. ' Father George Stallings, vice preSident-elect·of the clergy cau· cus, said that while the overall number of new religious voca.tions is declining, there is an in­ crease in the number of black priests and Religious in '. the United States.

This is cruciJal, he said, be­ cause blacks need to see indigen· ous clergy and relig!ous, th~y need to see a church that is reo sponsive to their cultural needs.

They realized they were break­

ing ground as the first 'lillY ad­

minstrators responsible for the

day-to-dayaffaiors of a Catholic

parish in the 10-county Diocese of Lansing. They also !I'ealized the trust placed in them by mem­ bers of the 167-family parish.

Due to a priest shortage, the parish was left without a resi­ dent pastor in June and the Ber­ gers took up residence in July.

Nearby priests celebrate Sunday Mass and administer the sacra­ ments at. the inner-city parish, with a strong Slovak back­

ground.

Berger, 31, had been executive director of ill Flint organization which ran food and clothing pro­ grams for the poor. Its soup kitchen is across from Sacred Heart Church.

Berger, who was dispensed from perpetual vows with the Redemptorist order in 1980 while studying for the priesthood, graduated that same year cum 'laude from Mount St. Alphonsus Seminary 'in Esopus, N.Y. Work with various activist groups took him to Michigan, where he and his future wife were comanagers of a successful 1982 campaign putting the state in f1avor of a nuclear weapons freeze. The couple was married during the campaign.

Earlier Mrs. 'Berger,' 29, had been'a candidate for the Domini­ can Sisters of Adrian, Mich.

Sacred Heart parishioners are familiar with activist leadership.

Their.' retired pastor, Father George Z:abelka, was Catholic chaplain for the U.S. airmen who qropped atomic hombs on Hiro­ shima and Nagasaki, Japan, dur­ ing World War II and later be­ came a peace 'advocate and, a member of a. pe!1ce pilgrimage across Ithe United States. and Europe that arrived in Bethle­ hem in December 1983.

The Bergers 'look forWard to reviving the parish religious edu­ cation program. rebuilding other programs and working with neighborhood blacks and other minorities.

Jenco update WASHINGTON (NC) - Syria's government will try to help free Servite Father Lawrence Jenco and six other Americans held hostage in the Middle East, but claims no knowledge of their whereabouts or captors, accord­ ing to an American Congress­ man.

Rep. George O'Brien R-Il1., after a trip to Syria where !he met with Syrian leaders, said in Washington Aug. 21 ,that Syrian President Hafez Assad has prom­ ~sed to try to' get the captives released. However, Assad says he does not know the ~ocation of the hostages or the identity of the kidnappers, although he does have "a general idea," O'Brien added.

Father Jenco,'director of Cath­ olic Relief Services operations in Beirut, was kidnapped Jan. 8.

Six other U.S. ctiizens, including another clergyman, the Rev. Ben­ jamin Weir, also have been seized in Beirut.

O'Brien, a Catholic, i"epresents the Joliet area, where Father Jenco's family lives.

Assad "doesn't know where. they are and he doesn't know who has them, but he has a general ddea," said O'Brien in a teleV'ision interview. "But I did get ,the reassurance from him that for humanitarian reasons he and his country would do every­ thing they could to continue to try to find 'and negotiate the reo lease of the seven A'mericans."

O'Brien a few days earlier had voiced similar comments about the Syrians' declared willingness to help. An aide to O'Brien a'lso had offered additional, informa­ tion, such as the report the hos· tages were receiving needed mediCal care, but O'Brien con­ tradicted that statement Aug. 16 with the comment the Syrians did not know how the hostages were being treated.

Four Frenchmen and a British writer also have been kidnapped ,in Beirut.
