Bishop Malone's Statement In his statement ,Bishop Ma lone stressed ,that the U.S. Cath olic Conference, the public policy arm of the U.S. bishops, "speaks on public policy issues, but it does not take positions for or against political candidates. This point needs emphasizing lest, in the present political context, even what we say about issues be perceived as an expression of political partisanship." The bishop explained that, as teachers, bishops exercise that role in Tegard to public issues '~by defining the content of moral prinoiples and dndicatin3 how they' apply to specific prob·' ,lems."

War against porno urged Atlantic Ocean

Christians have an urgent duty to take personal and public measures against the spread of the "insidious .epidemic" of pornography, said Cardinal Tim othy Manning of Los Angeles. In a pastoral letter to be pub lished today in The Tidings, Los Angeles archdiocesan newspaper. Cardinal Manning said pornogra phy is "the epidemic which now devastates the personal and the social well-being of contemporary man." l~ evil lies in the "graphic representation of degrading or viOlent sexua! behavior." accord ing to the cardinal. The effects of exposure to such material are devastating, he declared. "Pornographic fantasy has possessed our culture, and re creational sex is the normal ex pression of it," Cardinal Man ning said. "Aggressive erotic Ism expresses itself in revolting and public ways. It is a breeding ground for violence which fol lows so often." He expressed particular con cern for the "tragedies" which resu1t when children and youth imitate behavior they see in such maoorial.

A Statement on the Responsibi'lities' of Citizenship'

We address first of all those whom we are privileged to serve as Bishops in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Mas sachusetts. We hope that our words may also be .of some value for aM who take serdously the responsibilities of citizen ship. The moment in which we find 'oW'Selves, while it maybe dis comforting for some, -appears to us a splendid opportunity, for clarifying some func:Iamental principles and also the interac tion of private morality and pub lic policy. We are proud of the teaching of the tatholic Church in a broad range of issues touching the common good. For more ·than a century, forom Pope Leo the XIII to ~ope John Paul II, from Ca'rdinal Gibbons to the National Conference of Catholic 'Bishops today, there has been and is a consistent effort to draw upon ·the resources of faith in addressing critica'l is sues affecting ,the comm0rt good.

At anyone moment some of Earlder this year, the Bishops of the United States isolated 14 these ~ssues wiH hav.e promi issues which should claim the nence over o,thers.

' The alarming fact is that 'dur

ing the past 11 years over 15 million human beings have been aggressively and wdl1fu:}}y put to death in our nation ,with the sanction of the law. This num ber increases yearly by one and one-half million. 'We make no apologies in crying out that this is an affront to decency and a violation of the fundamental right to me. While nuclear holo caust is a future possibility, the holocaust of abortion is a pres ent 'reality. TQ ewde this issue of abortion under the pretext" that it ds a matter pertaining ex clusively to private morality is obviously illogical. The perspective of faith brings insight to and leads to the re jection of such moral evHs as raoial discrimination, economic exploitation, the violation of. human rights, the willful de struction of popul'ation centers in warfare, genocide and rap~: This conjunction of failth with universal moral norms does not thereby render these' dssues im~ mune from public policy consid

Indeed, we believe that the enormity of the evil makesabor tion the critical issue of tile moment. We urge ,all candidates for public office to address all issues forthrightly; the common good cannot tolerate the invocation of worn shibboleths as an eva 'sion of public responsibi'lity. We urge an citizens to study the issues, to form conscientious judgments concerning them, and to vote their convictions. Obviously, we are powerless as citizens if we do not -register to vote. Our prayer is for a deepened sense of responsibility on the part of candioates and voters, -and 'our hope is that our words may help them both.

Montreal police alTested a 65· year-old Ohio man, Thomas Brigham, in connection with the case. The disjointed message in cluded a time and date, "9:30 A.M. September 3, 1984."

Listen to Our Teachers This week the bishops of the Boston Province have issued a forthright and firm statement on the responsibili ties that we as Catholics' have as citizens of the state and nation. It is a welcome statement, befitting the times, and needed in our social turmoil. , This statement should not casually be pushed aside by the faithful. It is imperative that we listen to those who are speaking. .They are our ,bishops and as such must be affirmed by the faithful as successors of the apostles. The Catholics to whom this statement is addressed should view it as emanating from the bishops in their office, as teachers. . ' , It has been only too obvious' in recent weeks that too many who consider themselves loyal to ~e church have a rather limited view of what that affirmation en tails; Bishops are teachers, not politicians. As such, they are the moral and ethical leaders of the. church and the People of God. . . . They tell us that all in the church· are required by the Gospel tradition to promote and defend human rights and hUman dignity and to denounce and condemn viola tions of those rights. In addition, it is the role of a com-· munity of faith to call attention to the moral and religious dimensions of issues of particular public interest. The church must stress the value of the Gospel as a norm of . social as well' as polit~cal life: In this context it is necessary fo recall that politics is not government. It is in its primary' meaning the act or science of government. There is a very real distinction here. Our government charter has been set forth in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Politics is rightfully the science of implementing those rights and freedoms already set forth in our founding charters. It is this area that all of us as citizens are called upon to be informed, active and above all responsible particio: pants in the political process. The bishops as teachers and pastors must provide norms 'for the formation of conscience of the faithful, support efforts to gain freedoms and rights and' provide guidance when these freedoms and rights are in jeopardy.' . Their role should include provision of education re garding church teachings and the responsibilities of the faithful; analysis of issues for their moral and ethical dim ensions; measurement of public policy against Gospel values; and above all speaking out with courage and con cern on public issues involving human rights, social justice and the life of the church in society. . This is exactly what the bishops as teachers are doing in the pubircation and 'distribution of their important'state ,ment concerning the grave responsibilities of each of us in our social order. Be sure that through taking this action they will be come the targets of derision and,disdain. There will be members of our own church community who will' ridicule their forthright stand. And those who see~ power for power's sake put no limits to their mockery and scorn. But all of us in the church should listen to our teachers and take a firm and positive stand on today's moral issues. . Only in this way can we be faithful to the Gospel we preach and the faith we live.

T:houghts as· college begins

Fath~r Kevin J. Harrington

One of the most frustrating realities bf our time is that only a handful of college-educated persons :are benef'ifting from a trne Cathol,ic educll.tion. It is ~xcruciating for parents to see their yourigsters return from a C~tholic college with their Catholic i beHefs brushed aside. Some Catholic ,col:1eges seem more . ~nterested in conforming to the secular academic model than to: the principles of the failth. This becomes evident when a curriculUm cuts back on philos ophy and religious studies in order tq accommodate more courses directly related to em ployment l goals. Preparation for future careers seems to: bike precedence over consideration of life's most fundamentll!l questions, whose answers :involve nonacademic words su¢h as faith and hope. Yet the church' has so much to say to youth c9ncerning three ,basic questions: Where did. I come froin? Wihy am I here? Where ani I going? Until these que~tions are put into a perspective permeated by Gospel v~lues all the students in the world wiN not tiind the ~ap creat~d by living an unex amined life. Unfo~tuhately, a' false notion of objectiyity often colors dis oussions that anise from these questions. : But coHege students need- to see their faculty com mitted to the unchanging tI'IUths of Catholi~ism. '

. Motivation is the key word. Professors must not content themselves with prepaIiing stu dents for the world as it is. They must strive to help them catm the vision of what ift could become. This means teaching them to think not only with their heads but with their hearts. It seems strange that we need to encourage idealism in the young; but regrettalbly we live in a time in wlrich one's sense of worth is' equated with one's ,salary. A high school guidance coun selor tolld me of several cases where' students chose a career sole'ly on the basis of its mone tary rewards. This counselor tried to encourage one student to find where his trne aptitudes olay, only to have him say, "Well, I'm an A student, so I might as well go for it and try to be a doctor because that's where the big bucks are." Teenagers have the knack of" saying out loud what many Am ericans believe deep .down. They accept ·the· unspoken premise that permeates our society:' "You are what you own." However, too many students, when they realize tlhe emptiness of such superf1ciall values, try to fill the void with passing pleasures.. We can ill afford to ignore the alcohol, drug abuse and suicide rates in our schools. Our children's hearts are hungry and they are crying out to us for an unconditional love. We must learn to conform to its standards. Those who wiH not do this are

almost doomed to a life in which it will be impossible to find even a measure of fulfillment. Colleges must not abdicate

their responsibiHty to train stu

dents to be persons of principle.

During 'late adolescence, it is

most !important tlhat young peo

ple be encouraged to choose their

me rather than have it chosen for

them, that they try to live less by

conventional standards than by

their deepest personal convic

tions about what is trne and

worthwhile and just, and that

they be taught tlhe truth of the

Gospel within the framework of

,Catholic beliefs. They need to hear and under stand the words of St. Thomas More: "The times are never so bad that a good man cannot live in them!"

A priest forever

It had been 15 years since ,no, talking or visiting of rooms. ! last saw my classmate. In fact, this was 'the genera!l rule and night in the building. At that time he had .been day Prayer and' silence were our assigned to an inner-city speciality.

parish. I remember riding around his parish neighborhoods, listen ing to him talk about the great exodus of "wftlite folks" from the area which was becoming black. His gifted mind was probing ways to prevent panic and have whites and blacks live in har mony as a Christian community. Shortly after this assignment he left the priesthood, received ,a dispensation and married. As I drove up to his home I, wonde,red what our !1'elationship would be after so many years. We had spent many memorable hours walking around the sem inary'~ake discussing philosophy. We were about 19 then and felt there were no barriers beyond our conquest. Seminary training in those days was very different from to day. We arose at 5:45 a.m., re cited morning prayers and then meditated for half an hour be fore Mass. .After two classes in the morn ing we returned to chapel for noon prayers. On Wednesdays we had reading at dinner. Each evening at 9 there was a spirit ual exercise ,to prepare for the next day, followed by evening prayers. Lights went out at 9:45 and the "great silence" began. This meant

The schedu:le never varied ex cept for Sunday when we at tended two Masses, the second being a high Mass. At it we would prooess ou,t of the sacristy to the sound of some of the most beautiful organ music I have ever heard. I have not lis tened to better choirs or Gregor ian chant since. There were those unforget table week-long retreats in wftlich our interior life was overhauled and all types of good resolJUtions made. Words are not adequate to de scr~be what it felt Hke vesting and preparing to celeb!1'ate our first Mass. The mystery of it al1 was overwhelming. ,He had been part of these memories just as I had been. Ev,en though we complained about the narrowness of our training, I believe there was an appreciation down deep inside of us that we were receiving something very special. When I rang his doorbell I was greeted by one of his three children. Within moments he came to the door. :rhere was a PllJUse as we looked into each other's searching eyes. And then we embraced. As he did I heard the words, "My brother, Gino." At 'that moment I rearlized that neither the yeaTS or circum

As we talked, the conver. sation soon shifted to the church and its place in modern society., Later in the evening we walk ed down to a smal'l lake. As we continued to disouss the church, he turned and said, "Just like walking around the ilake in the sem, isn't it?" Driving . home, my thoughts were on our visit, Yes, it was like the days !in the seminary. Our hearts had been touched, we had dreamed dreams and !had visions of touching the world with Christ. Although ciTcumstances have sent us in different directions, I feel the words, "You are a priest forever," stiH are equally true for both of us.

having too much togetherness in the summer and not seeing each other for two months. From the time footbaU and marching band start, we rare1y eat together ex cept on Sunday." At one -time in our history, the family dinner hour was high ~y Tegarded and respected as the Opdrtunity for famillies to be to gether and share information and support. It was unthinkable that something as frivolous as a basEfuaH game would be allowed to infringe IUpon this valued time. Gradually, we have allowed the erosion of family and commun ity youth activities upon the family to the point that the fam ily who protests is considered unsupportive. Yet, we know that the family dinner hour - the one time thai most families are able to be to getheT daily - is crucial to good overaU family communication. I submit that jf we really varlue this quality as we pretend to do, then school and community leadership can take steps to re establish times, to do so and re turn the dinner hour to families. Last June I was invited to ad dress a Washington-based forum on fa~y well-being on the topi~ qf "How Community Leaders Can Develop Programs to Support Fami'lies." Pointing

dates. Later on, a school admin istrator asked me for specific suggestions on how schools co~d be sensitive to family ,time needs while still supporting valuable aetiv,ities Iike sports, band and drama for students. I suggested that if a school developed the goal of preserving family dinner three times weeldy as a management objective, coaches and directors would come up with a plan. Tradi,tiona!lly, sports and band practices have assumed the hoors of 3 to 7 p.m. as -theirs. This ef fectively dooms the family dinner hour in hundreds of thousands of homes. In interviewing fami ales for my book, on stress and the healthy fammy, I !heard about one Iband director who so co veted a tTophy that he demand ed practice attendance from 4 to. 8 p.m. daily and from 9 to noon on Saturdays from Aug. 20 until late Ootober. The kids began to hate band and the families were frustrated at not being together from Sun day to Sunday. Finally a group of parents went to the principal and said, "The purpose of band is no~ to win but to enjoy. This is ridiculous and if it doesn't change, we're going to let our kids quit." The principal 'listened and

changed things. The ambItions of just one band director Were dra maticaHy affecting over 80 fami lies who couldn't plan any mu tual activities on SatlUrday or eat together during the week. I challenge administrators, coaches and directors to come up with practice and game sched ules which show a value for family time. I' suggest longer practices twice weekly and none the other three days. Or some early morning instead of dinner time practices. I suggest that community yOlUth leagues foHow suit and a:Iso schedule games every other Saturday so families can !have aIternate Saturdays together. Most ,urgent, I ask schools, soc cer leagues, etc. to shorten the season. It gets- longer annually and kids get as tired of playing as parents do watching. We can achieve this if we real,ly value family time, com munication, and bondedness. But if we put a higher value on playing and winning games, then we' must accept responsibillity for nampering rather than fostering these important qualities of fam ily life.

Is this • marrIage

valid? Q. Your column about m.ar~ riage validations recently stated that if a Catholic fonnally re~ jects the church to join another religion and marries in it, that marriage would be valid in the eyes of the church. My niece became a Monnon and married a Mormon in the temple. My question is: Would you want her to come back into the church, since that would mean she would DO longer be married'? I l\ope you will explain this. (Hawaii)

FATHER JOHN DIETZEN

Q. Has there been a change in the Stations of the Cross? Or can priests change them any time? I thought there were al~ ways the 14 stations which are shown in chu.rch. A parish near us, where we attended the sta tions this Lent, has stations I never heard of, ineludng the Last Supper and the ResutTteCtiolh (Wisconsin)

A. You're asking several ques-. tions. First of all, the devotion Under the Code of Canon Law we call the Stations or Way of which became effective in No the Cross have undergone many vember 1983, the marriage of changes since they developed as your niece would clearly be con a form of meditation on the death sidered true _and valid by the of Christ, about 600 or 700 Catholic Church. years ago.

More recently we have ex perienced another direction of No special ceremony or dis change in the adding of a quasi be required pensation would even at that time to validate the 15th station focusing on the Resurrection. marriage.

Q. What are the rules for selecting lay people to be eu charistic ministers? Some be lieve it is more or less up to the pastor. If 'there are DOnos select ing these lay people, what are they? (Florida) A. The norms for speciarl eu charistic ministers were estab lished by Pope Paul VI in 1973 in his instruction on facilitating reception of Communion, entitled "Immensae Caritatis."

The Way of the 'Cross you en countered, !however, is a con siderably different grouping. Several of the traditional stations are based not on events record ed in the Gospel, but on pious legends or other eal1'ly Christian writings. Such would be, for ex ample, the falls of Jesus under the cross and :the occurrence with Veronica and her veil. The parish you visited seems to be using this newer form of the devotion, in which all the stations are found in the Gos pels, beginning with :the Last Supper and ending with the Resurrection. It inolJUdes the agony in the garden, and other events of the trial and condem nation of Jesus.

In this instruction the pope designated that such ministers should be chosen in the fw'1owing order: reader, student of a major seminary, male Religious, wom an Religious, catechist, man or woman. However, this order may be changed according to the pru

dent judgment of the local

The new format was approved bishop. for use in the church by Pope In practice, most bishops in Paul VI in 1975.

Offering their views are politi cians, economists, representa tives of the medical profession and consumers. Because governmen.t and in surance companies pay 86 per

the Reagan administration be

lieves that' "nobody cares about

The program also caMs atten tfon to the moral dimsension of heaUh care as a question of so· cial justice. The question facing voters and their representatives is a moral one; can we afford not to provide a "decent, ade quate level of health care" for all our citizens? As reported by Richard Ander son, this production of WYES New Orleans does not minimize the complexities of its subject, but is impllies tlhat it is in the public's self-interest to be' as informed as possible about this isSi\le.

Cardinal Glemp' said the im petus for liturgy 1n German was brought forward by Catholics outside of Poland and not by Catholics living in Poland and so needed careful investigation.

We're BLESSED KATERI

Hopes are high for St. Kateri By Joseph J. Smith BUFFALO, N.Y. ~C) - Pope John Paul II's visit to Canada Sept. 9-20 has touched off specu lation that he wlll canonize B1essed Kateri Tekakwitha, known as the "Lily of the :Mo hawks," during the trip. But Father Joseph S. McBride, U.S. postulator for Blessed Ka teri, says that hopes for her canonization are premature. Chief Henry .George, a Mo hawk from Utica, N.Y., and a descendant of the line that ,in cluded Blessed Kateri, said, "We think he (Pope John Paul') will visit Kateri's tomb at Caugh nanaga, Canada, and at that time he win announce her saint hood." Father McBride' said, "I'm sorry, but anyone who might be lieve this is way off track. We hope Kateri might be canonized in the next 10 years, but cer· tainly not this year." George is a mernJber of the Blessed Kateri League, based in Auriesvi1'le, N.Y., which is de voted to fuJthering the cause of Blessed Kateri and educating .people about her life. Blessed, Kateri was born in 1656 in what is now Auriesville, part of the Albany Diocese. Sister of St. Mary of Namur Marcella O'Donnell believes "Kateri's canonization can't be far off; the pope himself is im ,pressed.'.' Sister O'Donnell, a teacher in Buffllolo, N.Y., who has worked with Native Americans for 17 years, has been adopted as a Mohawk Indian of the Turtle

aan. Kater! Tekakwitha was beati fied June 22, 1980. Her father was a Mohawk chief and her mother· an Algonquin Catholic. When she was 3, a smal~pox epidemic killed her father, mother and younger brother and ~eft her pockmarked and with weakened eyesight. She was raised by relatives hostHe to Christian~ty, Ibut she sought baptism from Jesuit missionaries in 1676. She took a vow"of chast~ty. Her refiusa~ to marry and her de votion to Christianity led her to be persecuted by her tribe. In 1677 she fled to a Christian In dian settlement at Caughnanaga, Quebec, where she stayed until her death in 1680.
