A classmate remembers·

Twelve'of the cardinal's class mates in the BMC Durfee High School class of 1937 were in the Holy Cross Cathedral congrega tion for his funeral Mass. In an article appearing in a memoria! section of the Fall River Herald News for Sept. 24, John J. Mc Avoy, one of those classmates, recalled his long and happy as sociation with the cardinal: "I · was blessed having Humberto Medeiros as a classmate and friend. He not only showed me holiness and piety and how to live, but he brought color int') my life. I partook of many events in Rome and Boston be cause of him. "When " wrote to the cardinal, he always replied within a week. · I never ceased to be amazed by this. He 'always typed the letter himself. I used to love to see the envelope with Cardinal'~ . Residence in red arrive in my mail. "He was always himself-that -was his charm, his special cha risma. He had a delightful wit and sense of humor. As you told him a story, you could see his' eyes dance and the warm smil~ come to his face. He had a won derful free, hearty laugh, and the knack of' making you feel you were the most important person in the world to bim. "He was brilliant and high minded, but humble and com pletely unaware of his many talents. I think he was basically a very private man and b~ing in a position of prominence was not important to him.. I'in sure he would have preferred to be just an ordinary priest in a small town. However, this was not his de~tiny, and he accepted what God sent his way. "The world has lost a great, and more important, a holy man, and ,I have lost a loyal and true friend. 'The world, at least my world. will never be quite the same."

Pakistan 'and' the Province of Quebec. Auxiliary Bishop Lawrence J. Riley of Boston eulogized Cardi nal Medeiros· as a "genuine saint,'; who was a "simple man, peace-loving and self-effacing, quiet and retiring. "Cardinal Medeiros was the real thing - truly a living sign of Jesus Christ," ·Bishop Riley said. Recalling controversies durmg the cardinal's almost 13 years as archbishop of Boston over capi· tal punishment, abortion, school . busing and the church in po:i tics, Bishop Riley said Cardinal Medeiros was "often misunder stoo<1 and misjudged and di~· paraged." He said "there were times. of course, when Cardinal Medeiros was silent - but only with the silence that disdains to defend oneself and to utter even justi fiable complaint against unfair and unjust criticism., Like his divine master, "he bore his cross in silence." Music for the Mass was by the Archdiocesan Papal Choir directed by Father Francis V. Strahan. The choir was formed for the 1979 visit of Pope John Paul II to Boston. Solos included "Simon, Son of John," said to be the cardinal's favorite hymn. it was sung by Father Strahan. Leaders of the Orthodm:, Protestant and Jewish commu nities read tributes to Cardinal Medeiros in a special ecumenical program . before the liturgical rite.' . Cardinal William Baum, pre fect of the Vatican Congregation for Education and personal emis sary of Pope John Paul II to the funeral, read a' papal message of condolence. He noted that as the Bostor. Mass was being offered, New England bishops in Rome, to gether with other U.S. bishops at the Vatican for ad Uminia visits and a theological study program, were concelebrating a Mass at the Church of Santa Susanna, of which Cardinal Me· deiros was the titular head. The funeral liturgy concluded .a week-long series of Masses in the' cathedral, where nearly 50,000 people came .to pass the cardinal's body. Thousands who viewed the body the first day reached out to touch Cardinal Medeiros' hands entwined in rosary beads. The bier was later raised to a higher position and closely flanked by 4th De gree Knights of Columbus to protect the remains. Coming to the cathedral on the eve of the cardinal's funeral, II busloads of his friend~ and fo. mer parishioners in Fall Rive.·, led by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin, traveled to Boston to view the cardinal's body and attend a Mass at which Boston AUXiliary Bishop Daniel A. Hart was prin cipal celebrant. .

Tributes to the cardinal

By NC News Service Pope John Paul II sent tele grams to Archbishop John Roach, president of the National Con ference of Catholic Bishops, and to the vicar general of the Arch diocese of BQston Sept. 17 to express condolences on the death of Cardinal Medeiros. Additional expressions of loss and tributes were released by a number of religious and political figures. ",I express my condolences to you and all the brother bishops on the death of Cardinal Medeir os," said the pope's telegram to Archbishop Roach. "I recommend his soul to the. mercy of the Lord whom he served so faith fully and with such generous love." In the telegram released by the Vatican, the pope added, "I pray that his memory may 'long be held In honor in the church throughout the United States of America, and in the hope that comes from Christ's resurrec tion, I send my apostolic bless ing." In his telegram to the vicar general of the archdiocese, the pope wrote, "With deep sorrow I have learned of the death of Cardinal Medeiros. As" extend my condolences to the beloved Archdioces~ of Boston that he served with such intense pas toral zeal, I impart my apostolic blessing to all who mourn in

Christian hope. Upon ~ardinal Medeiros' soul I invoke eternal rest in peace and joy of the risen Lord whose paschal mys tery he proclaim,ed so faithfully in word and deed. May Mary the mother of Jesus welcome hiin to heaven." Bishop Daniel A. Cronin said that Card.fnal Medeiros' accom plishments would be remem bered with pride. "I reaUy feel that what we will .all remember and cherish is the memory of the gentle bishop, soft spoken and compassionate, merciful- and understanding," Bishop Cronin said. "We commend his noble soul to the Lord for the eternal rest that he has so justly merited," the bishop said, "after his recent suffering and H1ness and a long life faithful to the church." Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (0 Mass.) said, "Humility and com passion for the poor are the leg acies Cardinal Medeiros leaves for all of ·us. A remarkably holy and deeply sensitive and reli gious leader, his loss will be felt not only by miHions of Cath olics, 'but by people of all faiths." Mayor Kevin H. White of Bos ton called ·the cardinal "one' of the great men" in the city's his tory and "a crusader for the poor, the homeless and the sub jects of discrimination."

Bishop John Coburn of Massa chusetts said. He helped Cath olics "bring to bear upon the social issues of our day the spirit of· reconciliation, justice and peace" while at ,the same time encouraging "ecumenical dia 'logue." The cardinal was "a light unto all people," said PhiUip Perl mutter, executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Boston. The car dinal led people "to love, justice, morality and interfaith under- \ standing."" "We watched him cry as he empathized with the hurt of others," said James Nash, dlrec.~ tor of the Massachusetts Coun cil of Churches. "We saw his anger when he encountered abuses of persons and human rights," Nash con tinued. "We honored his sin cere piety, marveled at his re ,laxing charm, and smiled as he discussed his iiavorite mov-ies a list of which inclUded "Star Wars." The Rev. Eugene Pickett, pres ident of the Unitarian Univer salist Association of Congrega tions of North Amer-ica, said his church joined the Catholic community in mourning Cardinal Medeiros' death. "He provided a model of gentle humility and spiritual devotion which was of value to h,is own religious com munity and to us all.

Pastoring as a shepherd The many celebrations and ceremonies surrounding the burial rites of Cardinal Medeiros were highlighted by the spontaneous outpouring of people. From everywhere they came, the .simple, the pow.eriul, the lofty, the lowly, the chosen, the rejected, to 'pay ·him their tribute..

, 'Of .,1",

What they showed was that the late cardinal was beloved, ~otbecause of his lofty office, but because of his pastoral impact on people. If there is one lesson to be gleaned by the hierarchy from the demonstration of lov:e we have just witnessed, it is that an influential office means little if its holder is devoid of pastoral care. Thanks to the herculean labors of the media, the coverage of the' cardinal's liturgy and burial gave poignant testimoI1Y to this fact. /

The words of the homilist, the griefstricken faces of mill workers, the myriad stories of the cardinal, all proved that the esssence of his life was not in his trappings of office but in his pastoral ministry. He was a good and faithful steward. More importantly, he was a loving and kind pastor of souls. Today the word ministry has taken on great importance in the jargon of the church. In a given parish dozens of' w.orks are called ministries. Many diocesan offices offer elaborate "ministries" programs. In some places there are .special ministry schools. With all this, ministry sometimes becomes so bogged down in the speculative. and theoretical that it seems unable to get beyond the shuffling of papers. In other situations, it has created special interest groups whose sole purpose seems to be saving the saved. It would be well for all who share in the ministerial efforts of the church to remember the pastoral legacy of integrity that our late cardinal brought to his own ministry.

Among the basic concepts he preached and lived was that whatever he did was done· in the name of Jesus, not his own. This is the first and basic test of true ministry. Despite all the honors a church can bestow, despite any privileges one may enjoy, one's ministry is not one's own. It belongs to the Lord. This is a very hard ideal to tr.anslate into reality in a way devoid of pretense or parade. Cardinal Medeiros' did it. . The Lord's wor~ continues. As we continue searching for ways to Jjring his message to a crass and cynical world, .may· the pastoral lesson of the late cardinal be evident in our ministry. Our work in the name of the church will have little lasting effect if we do not labor as Jesus taught us. He must use us; we must not use him. It is easy to ridicule the simple. Our sophisticated world has little room for those who dO,not want to manipu late, produce and achieve. It measures success by money and media exposure. It is indeed difficult to avoid these pitfalls if we are to minister in the world. But it can be done if we follow the example set us by the life of Cardinal Medeiros; if each of us, whether cleric or lay man or woman, native or immi grant, tries always to pastor as a shepherd.

NEW YORK ~NC)-President Reagan visited a seriously ill Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York at the cardinal's residenc~ Sept. 25, one day before the president's speech at the Unitild Nations. A statement from the Arch diocese of New York said the president andMrs. Reagan spent" 20 minutes in private conversa tion with Cardinal Cooke, who is suffering from leukemia and has been confined to his home. "The cardinal was moved by their kind words," said the arch diocesan statement, which de scribed Cardinal Cooke as a longtime friend of the Reagans. Cardinal Cooke was one of the first to visit Reagan at the White House after the president had been released from the hos pital following the 1981 assassi nation attempt in Washington.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Four teen U.S. bishops have urged de feat of the MX missile, saying its production and deployment would be an unwise escalation of the arms race. In a statement issued in Sep tember the bishops said that the MX would be "counterproduc tive in our search for a, truly secure future for our nation and the world." They also said that the "hein ous" Soviet attack on a Korean jetliner does not change the fact that additional weapons have not produced peace. "The need of the moment is for the United States and the Soviet Union to take bold dra matic steps to reduce the arms race, quantatively," the 14 bish ops said. "Such steps," the statement added, "have been made ~ven more difficult by the Soviet ac tion shooting down the Korean airliner - a direct assault on innocent human life. ' "But even this heinous act 'd~esnot change the fact that the argument we have heard for years, that one more weapon, one more system will make us more secure and will help con trol the arms race, has not pro duced results," they said. The statement came amid a 'continuing debate over construc tion of the MX missile. Congress has completed, action on a $187.5 billion defense authOriza tion bill for 1984 that includes approval of the MX., But key votes remain on actual funding of MX, production and d~plOY. ment. The bishops' statement, based in part on the U.S. bishops' pas toral letter on war and peace ap proved earlier this year, recom· mended that Congress and the administration reverse the steps already taken toward deployment of the MX, the statement added, "We are aware that some be lieve the MX is necessary be cause of steps the Soviet Union has taken which are threaten ing to U.S. land-based missiles." It continued, "One can ,ac knowledge these serious Soviet errors and still affirm, as we do here, that the United States will compound a bad situation by ljuilding the MX missile." Signing the statement were Archbishop William D. Borders, Baltimore; Archbishop James V. Casey, Denver; Archbishop Thomas C. Kelly, Louisville, Ky.; Archbishop John R. Quinn, San Francisco.

CASTELGANDOLFO; Italy (NC) - Persons who use methods of artificial contraception claim for themselves the role of God and reject providence, Pope John Paul II said earlier this month in a talk to 50 priests taking p'art in a seminar on "Responsible Procreation." The seminar was sponsored by the John :J?aul II Institute on Marriage and Family Life, based at Rome's Lateran University. The pope said that users of artificial-contraception "attribute to themselves a power that belongs only to God: the power to decide in the final instance the coming into existence of a hu-' man being." "They attribute to themselves," he added, "the quality of being not cooperators in the creative power' of God, but the ultimate despositories of the source of human life." He observed that "no human being comes into existence by chance" and that a person. "is always the result of God's creative love." "Contraception is to be judged objectively so profoundly ilIicit," . said the pope, "that it can never, for any reason, be justified." "To think, or to say, anything to the contrary is tantamount to saying that in human life there can be situations where it is legitimate not to recognize God as God," the pope observed. "The man and the woman

are the arbiters, they are not

masters, calIed as they are . . .

to be participants in the creative decision of God," he said. 'The -pope told the priests that their understanding of the theo logical reason~ behind the im permissibility of artificial con traception was a "responsibility most urgent" and that it is "not

in fact sufficient that the teach ing be faithfully and adequately

proposed" but that they should

be able to show "the reasons

most profound."

In addition ·to the theolgical

reasons, the pope said there were

anthropological a r gum e n t s

against artificial .contraception.

The sexual act should sym bolize .in marriage the complete

donation of the essential beings

of two persons to each other, the

pope explained.

"The contraceptive act," he

continued, "introduces a substan

tial limitation from within of

this reciprocal donation and ex~

presses an objective refusal to

give to the other alI the good of

femininity or masculinity."

The pope spoke of the diffi

culties couples may experience

in being faithful to the law of

God. He said that couples should

be helped but that such assist·

ance would not include "gradua

ting the law of God in applying

it to various situations in which

the couples are found."

The pope added that people in

difficult situations should. have frequent recourse to the sacra ment of penance and' the Eu charist. All "are called to holiness, and marriage is a vocation which can demand even heroism," said the pope.

House approves Hyde exten~ion WASHINGTON (NC) - An·

other one-year extension of the

Hyde amendment's ban on fer

eral funding of abortions was

approved by the House of Repre·

sentatives Sept. 22. The vote

was 231·184.

The measure approved by the

House would be more stringent than current law by prohibiting even funding of abortions to save the life of the mother. But Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R IlL), sponsor of the amendment for the past seven years, as sured House members a life-of the-mother clause would be add ed in a House·Senate conference committee. Current law allows federal funding of abortions in such life of-.the-mother cases. Pro-life groups immediately hailed the vote as a major vic tory, particularly after last sum mer's S'upreme Court abortion decision and the defeat two weeks later ·in the Senate of a constitutional amendment spon sored by Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah).

Married clergy LONDON (NC) - The Cath olic bishops of England and Wales have agreed to ask Rome for permission to ordain to the priesthood married convert clergymen from other churches. This was first permitted by Pope Pius XII in the case of Father

Rudolf Goethe, a convert Luther an pastor ordained at Mainz, West Germany, in 1951. In 1980, the Vatican approved a similar request by the U.S. bishops to develop terms to admit married former Episcopal priests into the Catholic Church.

JeSllit leader stresses justice, papal loyalty

\ i

ROME (NC) - Concern for victims of injustice and loyalty to the pope will continue to mark the Society of Jesus, said Father Peter-Hans Kotvenbach, in his first public statement after being elected superior general of the Jesuits. The statement was in the form of a Sept. 14 letter to the 26,000 members of the society. Father Kolvenbach, head of the Pontifical Oriental Institute in ~ome, was elected superior gen ,ral Sept. 13. "The Lord wants to use our society to announce to men and wOplen of today - with a pas toral preference for those who suffer injustices in this world the good news of the kingdom in a way that speaks to the cul ture and conditions of life and in this way to serve his church and the vicar of Christ, Pope John Paul II," said the 54-year old successor to ailing Father Pedro A'rrupe, who resigned as superior general Sept. 10. The letter also asked Jesuits to work for. the unending re newal In the order. Further indications of what to expect from the new general came in a letter he sent to more than 90 United Slates bishops

in Rome for a theological consul tation sponsored by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the North American College. The letter, read to the bishops at a reception at the Pontifical ... Gregorian University, said that the Jesuits "want to work closely with those whose charism is episcopal authority, under the· direction of the holy father." In recent years, some· bishops had complained of poor working relationships with Jesuits in their dioceses. Father Kolvenbach's letter also indicated that he will stress ecumenism and world peace. "Until quite recently I lived and worked in Lebanon," he wrote to the bishops. "So you will understand that I have come to know first hand the folly of war and the curse of division among those who pray to the same God." In comments made to journal ists Sept. 13, Pope John Paul II said he did not kriow Father Kolvenbach personally. Asked whether the new su perior general was the kind of candidate he wanted, the pon tiff said "I had never specified a candidate."
