Hits Attacks On Innocent Life St. Anne's Hospital, the only Catholic hospital in the Diocese of Fall River, situated in the . most populous southern part of Fall River and serving some nine communities surrounding the city, can now make available to the general public a most modern eight-bed intensive care unit.

The modern facility, dedicated to "Mother Pierre Marie" was blessed by Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin; S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, at special ceremonies Friday, Sept. 21.

The intensive care unit, donated to the hospital by the Bishop of Fall River and the People of the Diocese of Fall River, will be supervised by Dr. John P. Malloy, M.D., specialist in internal medicine.

The unit received its first patient on Monday, Sept. 24, and

by Tuesday morning, Sept. 25, seven of its, eight beds were already occupied: Bishop Cronin praised the dedication as "another milestone in the history of this noble and venerable institution" where "care has always been given, and still is, and will continue to be given within the context of the Christian community which this hospital in reality is."

"Christian charity and belief in the authoritative teachings of Christian ethics as applied to medicine and medical practice have always inspired all at St. Anne's and they will continue to guide and inspire the medical '11111111111111111111'111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111'-

The Fall River Ordinary then went on to describe the difficult apostol~te that the Church must live in medicine.

sick and dying, Christian doctors and nurses, both lay and religious, and never has the Christian voice and the Catholic Church in particular been called upon with such urgency and immediacy to speak out with forceful and courageous voice for the Turn to Page Two

Intensive Care Unit Helps Life Fight The presentation of an intensive care unit to St. Anne's Hospital in Fall River and its dedication to the memory of Mother Pierre Marie have focused on the Church's own int~nsive desire to venerate and protect human life, especially when it is critically threatened by illness or injury.

The unit's sophistie,ated equipment, its high cost, the special talent of the doctors and nurses who staff it-all of it patterned on the life of a most dedicated woman, Mother Pierre Marie, emphasize the dedication that is close to the heart of the Church.

Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River, brought these facts to the forefront in his eloquent dedication of the facilities provided by the people of the Diocese of Fall River through St. Anne's Hospital to citizens-at-large.

The air-conditioned intensive care unit is located on the ground floor of the hospital, adjacent to the admitting desk and situated between the emergency rooms and the radiology department.

The 8-bed facility is made up of the most modern medical and electronic equipment available.

Each bed is enclosed within walls of glass providing restful quiet

yet permitting nurses to always exercise vigilant care.

One of the cubicles is provided with its own bathroom so that it can serve as a completely isolated unit. Drapes can be drawn along the glass walls so as, to make the unit even visually private if that be needed.

32 Women Join Team Ministries In Nebraska GRAND ISLAND (NC)-Bishop John J. Sullivan of Grand Island, Neb., has quietly launched one of the largest team ministry efforts in the country here.

With 31 Sisters and one lay woman sharing pastoral ministries with 21 priests, the program involves one-fourth of the 86 priests in this rural diocese covering central, north and western Nebraska.

The program was described as "monumental" by Auxiliary Bishop George Evans of Denver, who has been in charge of a similar program in the Denver diocese, now involving about 30 women Religious.

Bishop Sullivan said he did not consider the project experim6fltal, but more as a form of pastoral ministry which has already proven its worth.

When he was ordained bishop of the diocese in 1972, he said, he was already convinced of the value of team ministries. In his previous assignment at the Church of the Madalene in Tulsa, Okla., he was part of ,a seven• person team, he said.

According to Bishop Sullivan, the work of the teams will be "heavily concentrated in religious education, with some nursing," but the teams will be given the flexibility to adapt their ministries to the needs of the people.

Personal Contact He added that he hoped the pastoral teams would help create more personal contact with the Church for people in the diocese.

"We'll make some mistakes," he said, but he indicated he was not too worried. "We have a number of tremendous young priests in this diocese."

Bis~op Sullivan said the women on the teams would be working in such areas as improving the liturgy, religious education, social action programs, work with the elderly, horne nursing programs, and work with' young married couples.

"When you talk of ministry, it includes the school Sisters and the nursing Sisters," 'he said.

"It's not a question of relieving priests and giving them more time, but rather bringing other talents and experience into play in ministry."

Vincentians Meet Tuescfay, Oct. 2 The Fall River Particular Council, Society of St. Vinc~ent de Paul will hoid their monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 2, at St. George Conference in Westport.

Vincentians will offer Mass at 7:30 in ,the evening at St. George Church, Highland Avenue, Westport. The meeting will follow.

To help defray some of the Camp expenses, 'each Conference is asked to donate $10. for each boy from the Conference's parish who participated in the Overnight Camping Program.

Each Conference is also urged to make a report of its activities for the year ending September 30, 1973 as soon as possible so that the Annual Report of the Fall River Particular Council may be prepared without delay.

clever to use four~letter words [IS though they were going out of style and, as further proof of their machismo delight in coming up with horror stories about the irreparable harm the Catholic Church in general and the paro~ chial school system in particular have inflicted upon American Catholics of Irish descent.

I have read several such books in recent months, but the one that I am being so cranky about in this column is Jimmy Breslin's new novel, "World Without En~ Amen.'! It isn't all that bad as a novel, but the use that funnyman Breslin is making of it for advertising purposes is anything hut funny, in my opinion.

Ersatz Style Breslin was Norman Mailer's running mate some years ago in the most bizarre mayoralty campaign ever held in the, city of.

'New York. But he has more than that in common with his old drinking buddy. Like Mailer, he is a master at tooting his own horn-in a sort of ersatz Brendan Behan style - on television talk shows and in newspaper interviews. I really wouldn't know whether or not he rates all the exposure he is getting as the roly poly, hard drinking comedian of the New York literary. set. Let's just say that Hank Aaron will catch up with Babe Ruth long before Breslin catches up with anyone of a dozen contemporary novelists.

Be that as it may, jUd~ing from some of his recent interviews, I can't help but think that Breslin is deliberately using the Catholic issue as an advertising gimmick-and using it for all its worth. A few weeks ago, for example, in what amounted to a review of his own book published as a guest column on the coveted back page of the New York Times Book Review, he pulled off an elaborate advertising hoax by pretending, with tongue in cheek, that his novel 'would be either ignored or mercilessly panned by the' regular Times reviewers because they are, all Anglo-Saxon snobs who don't understand Catholic IrishAmericans from Queens (Breslin's native habitat) who write about other Catholic Irish-Americans from Queens and about all

,It was a f1unny enough column if you enjoy that sort of thing.

The followiryg week, however, in an interview. published in th~ Washington, Post (and punctuated throughout with carefully censored but apparently very adolescent prOfanity) Breslin reversed the fi,eld, so to speak, and began talking about the Church -in his putt'ing on dese and dose version' of'~the' Queens (Long Island) English - as though he himself were an Anglo-Saxon snob who ~doesn't understand' Catholic Irish-Americans from , Queens who; write about other Catholic Iril'h-Americans' from Queens, etc.,~ ey:. He told the gal from the pdst who was interviewing him ~hat he and his wife (also a born Catholic) have com· pletely given! up on the church.

This section! of his interview reads as follows: "Bones is 6. Breslin; who was born Catholjc, and his wife, Rosemary, who was born the same, decided nonetheless to stop with th¢ir sixth kid.

"Nah, that (game is 'over, I am a late convert to Episcopalianism." He grabbed another beer and downed lit. "Hell with that Catholic %&$#. I've stopped going to church. The only thing I still believe iIi is the devil. Yeah.

He's out there. That SOB is still out there on ~he $%#& streets, so' help me. :Devil is the only freakin' thinglI still believe in."

This, too, '11ay have been another Breslin l,iterary hoax aimed at seIling a few more copies of his book. For ku I know, in other word~, he may be a daily com· municant.

LaughiJlg at Him? Whatever o,f that, his use of the Church ~s an advertising 'gimmick is a'I pain in 'the neck as far as I am concerned. Ditto for his comptilsive addiction to the use of four: letter words even when he is beihg interviewed (by I a lady reporter at that) for, a family newspaper. I find it all rather boring ,~nd, for the life of me, I can't u~derstand why his peers, in the li~erary set are encouraging himl to make such a fool of himself iin public.

Come to thi~k of it, however, perhaps they are laughing at him -not with him. Maybe it's true, in other words,! that Anglo-Saxon snobs in the li~erary set are, in fact, prejudiced against Catholic Irish-Americans from Queens who write about other Catholic Irish.American~ from Qu~ens.

It's entirely possible. in other words, that flattery is their reverse-Epg!ish :way of doing Mr. Breslin in. If so, he doesn't seem to realize wha~'s happening to him-which might suggest that what Anglo-Sa~on snobs are alleged to think, about Catholic Irish-Americans, from Queens, (namely, that they are slightly stupid) may be' the truth of the matter after all.,

al amendment in defense of unborn life" the Administrative Committee was "going on record" in favor of a "human life" amendment.

Two major types of amendment have been introd'uced in the House - the "human life" amendment which would give the uI1born the legal status of person, thereby outlawing abortion, and tbe "states' rights" amendment which would give to each state the right to decide how much protection it will give to the unborn.

In the Senate several "human life" amendments have been introduced, but the Senate has no "states' rights" amendment before it. .

Most pro-life groups have come out in favor of a "human life" amendment on tlie grounds that it is the only way to assure that un'born lives will be protected in all states.

Ideals of Chavez Union Likened To Philosophy of St. F-rancis EDMONTON (NC)-The ideals and aims of Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers Union (UFWU) are not too dissimilar from the philosophy of St. Francis of Assisi, said Fred Schumacher, 24, formerly of California and now of Winnipeg.

"The Franciscans preach love and Christianity, and work of the UFWU is an obvious case of putting Christian love into practice by helping poor people to make a change in their lives," said Schumacher on a recent visit to Edmonton.

....,'

Canadians are being' asked to support this work by refusing to buy table grapes imd head lettuce from California where the growers have refused to renew contracts with the UFWU' 'and have signed instead with the Teamsters Union in what Chavez says is an effort to break his organization.

Schumacher, formerly a franciscan Brother, is one of the UFWU staff workers in 41 American and four Canadian cities organizing the boycott' and enlisting other support for the UFWU struggle, which has al· ready drawn wide backing from religious, political and labor groups. The support includes a

$1.6 million contribution to the UFWU from the AFL-CIO. Schumacher said there are two other similarities between the UFWU and the ideals of the Franciscans: both emphasize the spirit of poverty and preach nonviolence.

All UFWU workers, including Cesar Chavez as president, are paid only $p a week plus board and room, he said. For Chavez, who has a large family, this worked out to $5,100 last year including $960 for house rent, $1,400 for food for himself and his family, and $1,900 for medical bills he occurred in Arizona on a fast of nearly a month for the UFWU cause, Schu· makermacher said.

Schumacher added that the UFWU's firm stand against violence has led them to abandon their picketing in California because this led to the death of two strikers, one by a sniper's bullet and the other in a melee with police.

"The picketing' has been called off because it's not worth putting people's lives into danger," he said.

"Instead, we are sending hundreds of strikers across the U. S. and Canada asking for support in our boycott."

Cathol ic Conference Head Urges Measures to End Massacres WASHINGTON, (NC)-Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, speaking on behalf of the U. S. Catholic Conference, endorsed resolutions' before a Congressional committee calling for international restraints against wholesale massacres of innocent people and violations of human rights. .

Cardinal Dearden testified before the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on International Organizations and Movements which reopened hearings on international 'protection of human rights. , The subcommittee has been analyzing the response of the United Nations and the United States to the reported genocidal slaughter of Hutu tribesmen of Burundi in East Africa and else· where. Several House resolutions suggest measures for strengthening the. machinery of the UN and U. S. for preventing such violations.

"We endorse these recommen, dations as humane, fair and wise in substance and intent," Cardinal Dearden said in reading the USCC statement on the resolutions. The statement was formulated primarily through the efforts of the USCC's division for Justice and Peace.

The cardinal quoted the words of St. Paul: "You must be clothed in the new self, which is created in· God's image, Justified and sanctified through the truth."

Cardinal Dearden said the House resolutions before the subcommittee would be a step in the direction of St. Paul's wishes. He said the resolutions would strengthen the rule of law and establish the principle of individual responsibility.

Brochure Issued . On Alternatives To Abortion

THE ANCHOR·-Oiocese of Fall River..LThurs. Sep·t. 27, 1973

Respect· Life Month The month of October is to be observed as Respect Life Month.

The focus is precisely here: to reawa~el1 in the hearts of !Jlen everywhere the basic reaction that 'a man should have to the human family of which he is a member-respect for all life, respect for every life, respect for' life in every phase of its development.

This reaction should be able to be taken fro.m granted.

But this is no longer so. Events of the last several years have shown that there is not a strengthening or respect for human life but a weakening. To be sure, there is the cry about respect for life that is 'strong and vigorous. There is much writing and talking about the quality of life-and in all too many instances this comes down to zp.eaning that every . strong individual and/or family shoul4 have good jobs, good pay, vacation, two cars and. a boat, all the material signs of a good life. ,_ II .-. _ To say that this is respect. for life is to extend respect to ·but a small percentage. of the human,race. . What of the unborn? Here there is life, for the. unborn I creature' has only two futures open to it~to become a live human being or a dead human fetus. What of the retarded?

Here are exceptional children who call upon others for an exceptional display of charity and kindness. And there have been instances where they have been pl,aced in cribs in a darkened room and allowed to quietly starve to death. What about the aging? Their productivity in terms of things they . can grind out for society is over.. But what of the respect for their wisdom, for their age, for the opportunity they give others to extend charity and patience. What of the family?

I It is so wearisome to read every fewmonths·some self-styled expert's obituary on the family..And yet ~4at other unit is there into which children are born and grow in the knowledge and practice. of things natural and supernatural.

There is gr~at need of this Respect' Life Month. There is I even greater need of living the reality.

, A Swedish newspaper has attributed ' the reelectio~' of . a member of Parliament in that country to a picture of the. man, smoking a pipe held in large hands, and strolling along a country road with trees in the backgroun(J. The newspaper said that this picture recreated for the Swedish voters nostalgia for the good life and the hope that there could be a return to it. .

Sweden is one Qf theo most highly technological countries in the worlC;l. The boast is that all things are done efficiently and well, that all citizens are cared for from the beginning of life to the end. But there is ,al~o dissatisfaction with technology and a longing for another way of life.

Sweden is not alone in this longing for the old days.

There is in most of the so-called scientifically advanced nations of the' world a longing· for the si~pler life-and so the upswing in camping, hiking, bike-riding, all those activities that get one away from a €omplex society and into the setting of Nature.'

But· all this longing and all these. activities should bring man to one conclusion-that there must be balance in his life,.that his world must bring refreshment to the spirit as well as bread to the table, that Ithe elements of simplicity and recreation and simplicity oft life and Nature andriature's God-all are elements that mart must bring into himself if he i§ to live not only as a creature on this earth but as the one charged with being the earth's master and God's servant.

ST. CLOUD (NC}-In an all· out effort to make it known there are alternatives to albortion, the Catholic Charities Qffice here has released a brochure entitled "I'm Pregnant, What Now?" The brochure is being .sent to all pastors of the St. Cloud dio· cese, to all county welfare agen· cies and other social service agencies.

Pastors in turn are being asked to encourage parish organizations such as Christian Mothers to con· tact local doctors' offices and make the brochures available there.

Father Richard Leisen, director of Catholic Charities here, said it is the first time his office has conducted such a massive bra,chure campaign and he is not sure what kind of impact it will have.

"I think all of us have Ii responsibility to help inform others of services that are available," Father Leisen said. "Surely it is a very Christian kind of service;" Full Opportunity Catholic Oharities' job, according to the priest director, is to "meet the people where they're . at, explain our services, and simply make ourselves available."

The brochure states that Catholic Charities offers the "full op· portunity to -look at many alternatives." Father Leisen said that "when people come to us they usually don't see the full picture.

They see only one alternative .. and ..that is, if they are unmar· ried, to get married." Other alternatives are to surrender the child for adoption or to keep the child and remain unmarried. ,Whatever the decision, said Father Leisen, Catholic Charities helps the individual to understand the situation.

Some people approach Cath· olic Charities already having decided to get an abortion, the priest director said. "In these cases, we ,use all of our resources to help them to see their full responsibility and mayibe come up with a better choice than that."

No man, woman or child from this area should have to endure any hard· ship because oil companies have once more in our history shaken hands with the devil.

Chilean Bishop~ Urge Leniency, Not Revenge SANTIAGO (NC)-The Chilean bishops asked the new nation's military rulers to show respect rather than revenge for the followers of ousted President Salvador Allende, a Marxist, in the aftermath of their coup.

"We ask for moderation toward the defeated ones, and that all unnecessary reprisals be avoided," the 26 bishops said in a statement calling for peaceful reconstruction of this country of 10 million people.

"Many of the now ousted leaders were moved by sincere ideal· ism, and this must be taken into account," the bishops said of the Marxist leadership that three years ago started a series of radical reforms.

Widespread opposition to these socialist reforms, which brought the economy to a standstill, prompted the military take-over Sept. II. Allende committed su'icide rather, than surrender.

Official reports put the number of dead at "not even '500," but newsmen and relief groups said there are more than 1,000.

In asking respect for the de· feated, the bisQops included Allende,' to whom they referred as "he who was until recently the president of the republic."

Urges Reconciliation Cardinal Raul Silva of Santiago, who in recent months was instrumental in forestalling armed conflict through his medIation efforts, said a Mass at the ,cathedral here "for all those-who died" ·in the reVolt. -He' called once more for efforts at reconciliation, adding that "peace will be difficult to secure in the present atmospliere of poison and personal vengeance."

Reports of widespread arrests of Allende supporters, and some executions to those still resisting the military, are being substantiated by informed sources. One report said there are 3,000 detained at Santiago stadiums, and that many others are being .c;ent to the Juan Fernandez Islands of Robinson Crusoe fame.

Father Bonnike Seeks Laicization ROCKFORD (NC) - Father Francis J. Bonnike, 50, .president of the National Federation of Priests' Councils (NFPC) from 1970 until last December, said he is seeking laicization and that he intends to marry.

Father Bonnike bad sent to priest friends a letter making known his decision. A spokesman at the Rockford diocesan chancery said that Fatner Bonnike "has proceeded according to Church regulations."

In the letter Father Bonnike said he would like to continue in the ministry and wants to be a "good member of the Church."

At the time of his resignation as president of the NFPC, the 27-man executive board of the .organization, which claims 131 priests' councils and senates in its membership, said that Father Bonnike had conducted his nearly three years as NFPC president with forceful leadership '''combined with an extraordinary generous availability and spirit of friendship."

Pope Condemns Air Piracy CASTELGANDOLFO (NC) Pope Paul VI has unreservedly condemned every act of air pira· cy, but urged the world's nations to ask themselves what drives men to such desperate lengths.

"All countries of the world must eventually recognize such causes, to remedy them before they degenerate intEl violence," the Pope said. He cited "condi· tions thought intolerable from the social, political and econom· ic point of view."

Pope Paul declared: "The struggle against terrorism would be fragile indeed without this stock-taking,' and without the determination to remove the reasons for it."

But he emphasized "that such causes are never able to justify recourse to violence against civil aircraft, or their pilots and passengers."

Bible Scholars Blast Fundamentalists

WASHINGTON (NC) - Cath· olic Bible scholars blasted the "fundamentalists" i'll the' Catholic'Church' who "freely level against responsi1ble scholars charges of heresy and perversion of faith," often by means of "half-truth, innuendo, distortion and outright misrepresentation."

In a strongly worded letter sent to the bishops in the United States, the executive board of the 769-member Catholic Biblical' Association of America (CBA) charged that the attacks of "certain Catholic groups" on the right are causing conflision among Catholics and threatening responsible scholarship and ecumenism. .

The letter from the CBA board came several months after a similar attack on "ultra-conservative 'or fundamentalist Catholics" and the "arch-conservative section of the Catholic press" by Sulpician Father Raymond E. Brown, a former CBA president and the only American member of the Pontifi· cal Biblical Commission in Rome.

According to Benedictine Fa·ther Joseph Jensen, CBA executive secretary, the letter to the bishops came as the result of two actions at the recent annual CBA meeting: 'Irresponsible Attacks' The executive board, meeting in executive session Aug. 20, decided to send a letter to tne bish, ops expressing its concern over the "fundamentalist" attacks on the work of association members.

OBA members present at the general Ibusiness meeting of the convention resolved unanimously to "emphatically reiterate their fraternal support of those fellow biblical scholars ... who have been and are being made the target of irresponsible and totally unfounded attacks in the press and elsewhere, often pre-

cisely because they have tried to follow the lines of scientific investigation 'laid down' and warmly recommended in Divino Afflante Spiritu." ' Divino Afflante Spiritu, the encyclical of Pope Pius XII on bib· lical scholarship, is "rightfully r-egarded as the Magna Carta of modern Catholic biblical schol-

Chilean Coup CARACAS (NC) - The Latin American Confederation of Workers (CLAT) said the Sept.

11 military coup in Chile marks the beginning of repression for workers there.

"Events do not end in the first act of the tragedy," said the CLAT, a movement with strong Christian leadership throughout the contfnent. "It has been followed by killings and jailings. ·But the democratic tradition and determination of the Chilean workers will lead them to a new type of struggle of great consequence."

The statement blamed the coup "on a plan directed by military and imperialistic forces entrenched today in such nations as Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Haiti and Nicaragua."

These nations are under military rule' and claim political stability to attract foreign investments and foster economic growili.

CLAT has large affiliates in Chile, where it held an interna· tional conference last April to study the impact of multinational corporations on developing nations. CLAT leaders said they broke the embargo on shipments of Chilean cop;:Jer to Europe set up by foreign corporations after the nationalization of their mines.

arship," the CBA members said in their resolution. They pointed out tllat Sept. 30 would mark the 30th anniversary of the document's publication.

Lutheran Synod In its letter the CBA compared the threat of Catholic fundamentalist to the much-publicized controversy over heresy in the Lutheran Cnurch·Missouri Synod.

"That control of a Christian community can be gained by militant fundamentalists is witnessed by recent events in the Lutheran' Church - Missouri Synod; if the new (fundamentalist) leadership succeeds in ousting from Concordia Theological Seminary those committed to critical scientific scholarship and remaking the institution along fundamentalist lines, that segment of Christianity will be effectively diminished and ecumenical dialogue will be hindered," tne CBA said.

The association reiterated the principles of scriptural scholarship laid down in Divino AffIante Spiritu and pledged continued cooperation with the Church. "We have always encouraged high scholarly standards, broad use of every available scientific tool, faithfulness to the teachings of the Church, and close cooperation with the American hierarchy," the CBA said.

Press for Rights Of Chile Workers GENEVA (NC) - The International Red CroS's has made strong representations to the new military junta in Chile on behalf of political prisoners rounded up after its Sept. 11 coup.

News of mass imprisonments and of some summary executions of leftists prompted efforts by tne Red Cross to establish an emergency committee in Chile.

In a similar move the World Council of Churches (WCC) asked Gen. Augusto Pinochet, head of the Chilean junta, to protect the political refugees and prisoners.

Dr. Philip A. Potter, WCC secretary general, asked the junta to ,guarantee "the safety of all members of the Christian community, regardless or' political views."

The objective of the workshop was to reinforce biblical preaching as a vitally important func.tion of the Army chaplain.

Participants included Catholic and Protestant chaplains from the U. S. Army':s Materiel Command.

The workshop was sponsored by the Word of God Institute, in Washington, D. C., which also sponsors week-long parish renewal programs, liturgical workshops, and priests' retreats.

Brother Kerressey described the meetings as "sharing sessions," whose purpose is to en· able diocesan directors of adult education to "compare notes."

Some weeks路 ago I wrote about the things I expect

OTTAWA (NC) - A special emergency collection in Canadian cIiurches to aid the victims of a severe drought in Africa has been urged by Bishop William Power of Antigonish, president of the Canadian Catholic Conference (CCC) of bishops.

Bishop Power said that the drought situation, which affects millions, "warrants some kind of extraordinary expression on the part of the Christian community of tanada."

In an appeal to all bishops of Canada, Bishop Power wrote: "I recognize the fact that the general assembly agreed last April that there be only four collections a year on a national level beginning in 1974.

OPENING ADDRESS

The Priests~ Senate Serves Cause of Christ Rev. Peter N. Graziano, new president of .the Priests' Senate of the Diocese of Fall River, gave the following address at the elected group's first meeting, Friday, Sept. 21, at the Catholic Memorial Home in Fall River.

The Fall River Senate of Priests is now seven years old.

During the years. immediately following Vatican Two, our Senate, as did most others, reflected in microcosmic fashion the positive and negative movements encompassing the Church Unversal and the Church Parochial. This Body has had moments of utopian euphoria and debilitating depression. Yet, through good times and bad the Senate has endured because of the basic good faith and good will of Bishop. Connolly who established this Body and Bishop Cronin who has sustained it and the priests of the Diocese, who at times despite their concern and dismay never gave up

'After mentioning the importance of committee work, the president expressed his wish that all the priests in the Senate would volunteer to be. on at least one . committee.

As we' ready ourselves for our seventh annual session, a brief sabbatical review could well be of value for us, so that we can refresh our,minds concerning the official character of our existence and the piJrpose of our coming together. T~ere is a natural danger for us to miss the woods for the trees .. . to tend to get -so caught up in a variety of issues that we think and act, if not contrary to a literal interpretation of our Constitution,' then contrary to the theological and pastoral theory behind its principles.

Advi~ory Body Having be~n officially called .into existence, questions have been raised as to the nature and character of' Priests' Senates.

Theories have been advanced ·from the most radical, which make the bishQp a mere pawn of the clergy, to reactionary, which make the priest practically' speaking a .non-thinking automaton. As. with virtue, the truth is settled somewhere in the via media of tpese two extremes.

The Senate, is not a mere fraternal .and/or professional organization among priests, akin to an Association or Study Club.

It is a represehtative body of the presbyterium, which forms a part .of the official policy. making structure of the diocese hy being officially an ,advisory body to the bishOp. It' strives to express

(9) .Over the 'past seven years this has been the Senate's thrust, as it attempted to bring into the practical realm general theoretica1 concepts spanning the entire Apostolate. At this level the Senate has passed to the Bishop many resolutions and some very detailed proposals which' have become part of diocesan policy.

On this latter point, it is important for the Senate to bear in mind that in areas of policy making, it has never failed, for the obvious reason that the Senate does not have a deliberative vote on diocesan questions. The Senate's vote is consultative unless in individual cases the Bishop grants it decision making authority. Should the Bishop in his. wisdom decide against the Senate's advice, the Senate has not failed per se, although upon analysis it could well fault itself for slip-shod research' or inexact and ambiguous written presentations.

Last May, the Senate recommended that the membership of this session should seriously consider changing our present meetings hours, so that we could adjourn in the early afternoon. Our sabbatical year could be a key year for analyzing and r.eviewing tlie entire Constitution in the above mentioned and yet to be ' proposed facets:

tuguese speaking apostolate, the Family, Juvenile Problems, Abortion, issues such as the Farah strike in Texas and the Chavez boycott in California.

A whole new area of structural lay involvement in the Church is a concern of our Bishop and many of his priests, not to mention norms and programs of priestly pastoral life and spirituality. _ The list could go on and OJ).

We cannot and will not begin to effectively cover this list and much not mentioned, but we can begin. Individual Committees will be meeting shortly and it will be their primary function to set priorities, form sub-committees if necessary, and then progressively educate the rest of the Senate and the presbyterium, as to the full import of their findings and resolutions, so that the Senate as a cohesive body will be able to intelligently debate reports and recommendations proposed. .. Charity .In conclusion, permit me to emphasize that every member of the Senate is equal within this body. We have been elected by our brother priests or directly appointed hy the Bishop. We are here to represent the priests of the Diocese and to serve the Church of Fall River in full cooperation with the Bis~op\ The officers of the Senate will endeavor to serve this body to the best of their ability. However, none of us can go it alone or do it alone. We will need your understan~ing and help.

Education - The Priestly Education Committee has submitted several detailed reports and overall its past programs in South Dartmouth have provided a valuable meeting ground for our priests to dialogue in some theological and pastoral depth. Perhaps a new direction should be studied and proposed in close cooperation witli Stonehill College.

Says American People Accustomed To Public School Monopoly WASHINGTON (NC) - The people of the United States have been accustomed to a public school monopoly and only "cataclysmic and unforeseeable shift in public opinon" could significantly increase enrollment in non public schools.

That is the conclusion reached

by S. Francis Overlan, a former public school superintendent now directing the Education Voucher Project at the Center for the Study of Public Policy, Cambridge, Mass. Overlan's conclu. sion is stated in his article "Our Public School Monopoly" in the Sept. 15 issue of The New Republic.

Overlan said that in its 1925 decision Pierce v. the Society of Sisters the U. S. Supreme Court established the non public school's right to exist and the right of parents, to choose non public schools for their children.

"These constitutional rights are atrophying today," Overlan said.

He cites statistics, among them that "nonpublic schools are clos.ing at the rate of about one a day," to support the conclusion

will presuppose openness, candor, and frank talk. In short we must strive to be openminded and theologically sound servants of the Church we all so love. Our purpose is to go through this session with serious intent, always conscious of strengthening the bonds of charity within the presbyterium and within the Diocese as a whole. This will demand an asceticism of' a high order, which we all pray God will be ours, as we are privileged to operate in one of the most unique of post-Vatican Two ecclesial structures, the Senate of Priests, the collegial meeting ground of the Bishop and his Priests in the service of God and the People.

I think it's a mistake to minimize homesickness. Only those who never felt 'the awful emptio ness of being alone in a strange environment, away from the familiar, unable to eat, sleep, br function normally, will scoff it off. Those who are genuinely concerned, particularly parents, can be helpful <luring this time of stress..

First, .'while the disease isn't fatal, it can affect the future life of the student. If he succumbs, there's a good chance he will never return to college. Teachers can cite 'students who had the grades, saved' the tuition, and passed the gruel1ing entrance ex· ams only tq cave in under the pains of homesickness. Oh, they generally attribute their. early return home to disappointing courses but a good share of them fall victim to the lesss pres·' tigious illness of homesickness.

If you are a parent of a first· time student, you can be most helpful by expecting some man· ifestation of the illness. (And, honestly, don't you want them to miss home a tiny bit?) Expect the phone calls probing you for an excuse to forget college and come-home.

Don't expect your student to say, "Mom, I'm awful .homesick.

Can I come home?" No normal teenager is ever going to admit that. Expect, rather, "I've been having a lot of headaches and I wonder if I should come home this weekend and see Dr.

--:--

~;

dering if I shouldn't just come nome and come back next semesI ter."

These are tecopnaissance calls, made. in hopes of being invited back to the Inest. The wise par· ent can and should empathize while discotIraging the return· .flight. It's I hard, any parent knows, to ignore the offspring's pleas for h~lp. It. goes against the innate grain of parenthood, but we musti remind ourselves of the robin wlio pushes her young out of the n.est.

The Busier .th'e Better During the period of homesickness, parents' letters, calls and packages help. Visits can hurt more than help if they reo open healing wounds. The busier the student, the less time he has to dwell on the .strangeness of his new life. Students who work and those Il,lcky enough to be handed an immediate and heavy academic load usually fare better than those with extra time on their hands. .

It also helps if parents and other adults, let students know they too we'1t through a painful separation sometime during their lives. If students can share their feeling with :others, it's helpful.

Probably thci best fechnique is the familiar ;one to parents, Le. mentioning tre problem as one that has been magnificently overcome in hopes that it soon will be: "We're so !proud that you are able to. overcome routine homesickness, son~.

Now, what are we' going to do about childsick par~nts?

Revelation

Bas~

CASTELGANDOL'FO (NC) -Pope Paul VI, addressing partic· ipants in the second Internation· al Congress of Canon Law, renewe<! his' appeal for' a theology of law based on "all that divine revelation says on the mystery of the Church."

He reminded the approximately 60 church lawyers that aftel' their first congress in January 1970 he had emphasize<! the obligation of canonists "to search more deeply in Holy Writ and theology for the reasons for their ' own teaching."

He also returned to a point he has hammered away at in recent: weeks, that the institutional Church 'and the charismatic Church are one and the same.

Said the Pope: "Law defines ipstitutions. It arranges the demands of Ufe through regulations and decrees. It fills out the essential lines of juridical relations amQng the faithful, that: is, pastors and 'laypersons, by means of its norms, which are now counsels, now exhortations, now <Iirectives of perfection, now pastoral guidelines.

"To limit Church law to a rigid •orner of injunctions would be to do violence to the Spirit who

"Your first preoccupation will theref6re be not to establish a jurididl order base<! purely on civ~1 la}v but to plumb the work of the Spirit, which must express itself ~Iso in the Church's law."

The Pope sai<l: "The Church's constittItion is 'both spiritual and institutional. The Church is the mystery of salvation rendere<! visible I by its c~nstitution as. a true human society and hy ItS activity in the external fleld."

The IHoly Spirit, he said, is "present and operating" wherever the !Church lives.

The salvation of souls, "remains the supreme purpose of institutions, of. law, of' regulations," the Pope declare<!.

He calle<! it an error "to hold that the activity of the Holy Spirit is only that by whicH He distributes His particular charisms' to individuals." .

Ecclesiastical communion can have neither existence nor efficacy, he said, "unlells it originates from a hierarchical ministry of word, of grace and of pastoral guidance; by which or<ler an<l peace are assured." ~he

Effic·iency Replaces Quality As Producer's Main .Aim

By Joe and Marilyn Roderick

ST.

I have just finished reading an arti€le in,of all places, the New Yorker magazine about how a c~rtain brand of peas are raised and canned. It wasn't an adv~rtisement but part of the editorial section of the magazine; and it had been written because this particular company was still as par- utes in a 350' oven. Cool in pan.

5) Cut in bars. ticular about their product as they were years ago when FluQrescent Garden they first started in business.

From the moment of picking of the peas until the minute the lid was put on the cans took a total oUive hours from start to finish.

The author of the article had obviously chosen this subject and_ company because such concern and quality are sadly lacking to· day. We pay top dol1ar and we certainly don't get quality in the majority of things. Companies appear to be so concerned with profits and efficiency, in order to. produce the greatest amount of profits, that quality is a forgotten word.

th'ose who "cry Lord, Lord and do not the things" that God commands. It is not much use engaging in a highly spiritual dialogue'if all the old creeds, envies, passions and hatreds are simply carried. on in everyday life. The dialogue of the world religions must be profoundly concerned with the outcome of religion in practical action.

Two Issues

....

This is all the more, urgent in that at the planetary levelwhere interfaith consultations are uniquely ¢llgaged-there are two over-riding issues which call out for world-wide understanding and policy.

The Synodal Document "Justice in the World" defines these two over-riding concerns as the new issue of the environment and the only slightly less new issue of world justice and development. What light can the dialogue between all the great religious traditions throw on these two fundamental issues of planetary behavior?

It is often said, above all by Western critics, that Christianity has given man false ideas about his role in creation. In Genesis he is given "dominion" over the earth and this fundamental attitude of power has led him on to become an exploiter and despoiler of other species, of the world's reserves of land and today, even of the planet's living support-systems of air and water.

Science and technology, invented in the West, have given men infin'itely greater powers of interference and disruption. But they have not taught greater wisdom or forebearance. Western man lacks respect - for other men, for animals, for fields and forests, for the whole biosphere.

He goes greedily on wherever

Aid Victims CARAPA (NC) - About 100 families left homeless after the August landslide at this Caracas suburb have received food and shelter from Caritas and other Catholic relief groups. Carita~ has also provided parishes in the area with camping equipment and medicines for the victims.

Venezuela authorities said 14 persons' died. Carapa includes a slum area.

like running out, he has no policy of restraint. He still pursues, like a crazy miser, the mean and greedy gods and Gross National Product and endless economic growth.

Against this supposedly "Western" outlook is set the attitude of Eastern religions' which, it is claimed, have always felt a much profounder respect for the non-human world and have sought not dominion but coexistence. In the last 400 years, these attitudes have made Asian societies less able to withstand the onslaught of Westerners armed with the new technology.

The Chinese, for instance, confined the use of gunpowder to firecrackers and fun. But now that the Western wave of conquest has subsided, possibly Asia's greater tolerance and detachment can help to bring Western man to a more balanced and viable view of how the planet is to be maintained in balance for all its creatures.

Creative Partnership In fact, this way of putting the case probably over-states Western man's drive and cupidity and understates the tendency. of Asian people to succumb to the drives of competitive power.

After all, it is Japan today that stands at the top of the league both for-economic growth and the most flagrant pollution of its natural systems. Only a few weeks ago, this fish-eating people were told to cut down severely their favorite diet. because mercury poisoning from industry is turning up in the fish catches off the coasts of Japan.

Besides, there is more to science than its simple ability to increase Western man's powers of exploitation. It enormously in• creases his powers of understanding. He does not need to dominate or exploit or rape nature. He can work with natural things to make them more productive and more beautiful. A well managed farm, a fr1,litful vineyard are more valuable in every sense than barren soil or stony slopes. Modern science has given Western man the means and understanding that make for genuine improvement and greater productivity.

And this is vital for Asia too -or for Africa or Latin America.

Nature is not always so harmless and beneficent as to permit man simply to co-exist with it. You do not live comfortably with a black mamba or a typhoon. An untilled field does not give bread. God gives us a risky, unfinished creation so that we can complete His work. It is a glorious responsibility, a true stewardship. But it cannot be exercised in blind, unthinking greed. The challenge to all societies, in the new technological order, is to exercise the powers given by scientific knowledge with respect and restraint.

They were impressed with Jesus and eventually became Jesus' disciples.

What particular'ly strikes me about this interesting episode is, Jesus' question, "What is it you want?" On one level the question is very ordinary and appropriate to the situation. We have all . asked someone in similar situations, "What, do you want?"

Life's Goals On a deeper level Jesus' question touches the heart of personal development. Jesus is a!)king about one's goals, about the inner motivation that guides one's life. One of the most im· portant questions' each of us

!

must' at some time or other grapple with is,:' "What do I want?"

"What am 'I living, working, striving for?" , That question is at the core of religious education, just as it was central to Jesus' own teaching. In past decades the catechism had-. as one of its first questions, :"Why did God make you?" It is a question that becomes readily translated into concern with the purpose of life and personal goals. " Today the religious educator may use a somewhat different approach, but he needs to assist his students (or his own youngsters) to aiscover and choose meaningful life goals. A recurring question in catechesis must not be simply 'fWhat do you know?" but "What jis it you want?"

Here we examine a closely related $ource of energy and drive, the gOals we set for ourselves.

There I is a natural tendency in man . to wish to attain new heightF.. He is'. dissatisfied with present conditions, he senses he is capkble of more and so raises his sights and pushes on.

The wife and mother .ooks for

new patterns of harmony for her family, new means of encouragement, even new recipes for meats and cakes and cookies.

So we see how the confidence we have from lin image of our worth enables us to move towards greater and greater goals. There is wonderful possibility here, but the type of goal we set is a critical factor. The mother may spend a1l her energies dreaming up recipes rather than patterns of peace and . growth. There are priorities.

Perseverance Our Lord not only builds our self-image, but also speaks of goals: "Be ye perfect even as your heaveply Father is perfect."

And Paul forcefu1ly reminds us of our obligation: "Put ye on the mind of Christ." These are indeed high goals. Too high? We might dwe1l on three things.

First, man's growth is gradual.

Goals seem unattainable if we expect to reach them overnight.

But this is not. God's plan; we are dealing with a patient Father who doesn't expect us to "put on the· mind of Christ" except through a lifetime of joyful striving.

Continued from Page SJxteen line. Then he searched the synoptic gospels for mention of the word Genessaret, hoping to find a reference that would fit the fragment's 17 letters. He found that Mark 6:52-53, with the omission of three short words, would fit into the puzzle.

Should Father O'Callaghan's hypothesis be confirmed (and it by no means has been) it could mean that a Gospel of Mark existed before 50 AD., less than two decades after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Such a confirmation would bring the writing of the Gospel much closer to the lifetime of Christ than had been previously assumed and would mean that the stories and words of Jesus could be more accurate historically than those of a Gospel written a decade or so later.

Father O'Callaghan's publication of his hypothesis caused the expected. reaction among Biblical scholars. Such .comments as "wild speculation," and "premature judgments" were voiced by noted scholars.

Continuing Debate An article published in the. same edition of Biblica by Father Carlo M. Martini, an eminent colleague of Father O'Callaghan, observed that due to the uniqueness of Qumran Cave No.7, there "would .be no difficulty in setting forth the hypothesis of a cave which would have served, in a time subsequent to the time when the other caves were filled, and under other circumstances, as a hiding place ... for scripts of a Christian community in the territory of Jericho."

There are many other unanswered questions concerning the Jesuit's hypothesis; there are excellent scholars who are properly skeptical and debate is sure to continue.

Father O'Callaghan is pursuing his theory and plans publication of additional articles on other Qumran fragments from Cave ,No. 7 that he has tentatively identified as from 1 Timothy, Acts, Mark, Romans and 2 Peter.

Time Magazine (May I, 1972) said of the Spanish Jesuit's hypothesis. that it "could turn out to be this century's most important development in New Testament scholarship."

Father O'Callaghan says of the Cave No.7 fragments, "If they are (as we hope), then we must admit that Qumran has reserved for us another of its great and impressive surprises."

Sets Guidelines For Investments

IN THE DIOCESE

ST. PAUL (NC) The St. PaulMinneapolis archdiocese has issued a code of ethical guidelines .for business investments which it says may be the most comprehensive for any U.S. diocese. . The plan. first advocated by the archdiocesan Priests' Senate. 'has been endorsed by the archdiocesan pastoral council and was in the planning for nearly two years.

Coadjutor Arohbishop Leo C. Byrne put the guidelines into effect and also announced estab!lishment· of a seven member archdiocesan Board of Investment Ethics to enforce the guidelines.

"While recognizing the need for financial support in carrying out the work of the' Chuhch. there is a valid concern that the policies governing investments made by the archdiocese reflect the moral convictions on the Gospel message." the archbishop said.

The guidelines stated that the archdiocese will hold no investment in companies that make weapons "likely to destroy human life" such as weapons of war.

Somerset parlayed the opening kickQff return and a field goal into a 10-0 win over league foe Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro last week in the only other Division I game played.

The young Blue Raiders will travel to Seekonk this Saturday to meet the Warriors in a nonleague affair.

Taunton opened its season with an impressive 28-0 win over non-league foe Cardinal Spellman of Brockton. The Tigers will host Falmouth Saturday.

Another good showing by Taun-

ton would indicate they are a force to be reckoned with.

Speaking of forces. Bourne has steamrollered to two straight wins on a high powered offense and a tough defense. The manner in which the Canalmen handled defending Division II titleist Bishop Stang last week has to plac~ fear in the hearts of Division II opponents.

The 54-6 thrashing has all of the loop members in awe. What Bourne could do this Saturday when it travels .to' DennisYarmouth is frightening. The young Green Dolphins lost to Dighton-Rehoboth Saturday last· 29-0.

Dighton's easy win came as somewhat of a surprise in light of the .poor campaign the Regionals had last Fall.

Viking Express Will Be Tough to Stop Defending Division III champion, Wareham appears to be stronger this year. Coach Jim Lanagan's Vikings 2-0 on the season. beat New Bedford Vocational 28-0 last Saturday. Once again the Vikings are a powerful scoring machine who capitalize on their own skills and their opponents mistakes. If one can place any faith in rumors, this Wareham team is the best to come along in quite a few years.

Considering last year's club.' it must be a great one.

The task of derailing the Wareham express will fall squarely on the shoulde~s of its Division III counterparts..:....case.

Old Rochester of Mattapoisett.

Norton and Diman Regional of Fall River. New Bedford Vocational has already failed.

Old Rochester will get the first shot in three weeks. The Bull l?ogs lost a close 7-0 decision to Case last week but should rebound Saturday when they host Diman.
