rulers

In the 17 days remaining be­ fore the November elections, Catholics of the Fall River dio­ cese will be urged to vote affirm­ atively on ballot Question No. 1.

The question asks whether state aid should be granted to non-public school students and certain institutions.

The aid would be in the form of materials or services and it would go to students In non­ public schools that did not dis­ criminate as to race or color and that guaranteed free exer­ cise of religion. The aid would have to be requested by pupils on an individual basis.

The question, if approved, would also allow public moneys to aid infirmaries, hospitals or charitable or religious under­ takings under certain conditions.

Of chief concern to Catholic voters, however, is the school aid aspect of the question. In Massachusetts the great majority of non-public schools are Cath­ olic.

In a letter to pastors urging them to bring Question No. 1 to the attention of parishioners, Father George W. Coleman, Di­ ocesan Director of Education, writes "I would appreciate any effort you may make to Inform your people about the implica­ tions of a 'yes' vote on Question No.1."

An explanation of the pro­ posed amendment to the state constitution is attached to Father Coleman's letter. It follows: The United States Constl­ tiition permits certain aid to students who attend private and parochial schools, which the Massachusetts Constitu­ tion prohibits. If Referen­ dum Question No. I on the November ballot Is ap­ proved, It would permit our legislators to consider the provision of aid and services to pupils In our Catholic schools and will bring our State Constitution Into line with the United States Con­ stitution.

It should be remembered that Catholic schools In the Diocese of Fall River, which currently enroll over 10,000 studen~s, save taxpayers of the Diocese more than $20 mll1l0D each year. Any aid eventually provided by the State would cost llttle comTum to Page Nine

VATICAN crrt (NC) - With representatives 0lI the Polish government : sittin~ _ only a few feet away, Pope John Paul II on Oct. 10 lashed out angrily at the Oct. 8 dissolution of the independent trade union Solidar­ ity.

The pope's condemnation of the Polish parliament's action came at the end of the canoniza­ tion of a new Polish saint, Fran­ ciscan Father Maximilian Kolbe, in ceremonies in St. Peter's Square before 150,000 people, many of them pilgrims from around the world.

The pontiff said that the parlia­ ment's passage of a law which formally eradicated all existing unions and established new rules for the creation of new unions was "a violation of fundamental rights."

Dissolution of Solidarity drew quick and angry reaction in Po­ land itself and in the U.S. where President Reagan". announced plans to lift preferential low tar­ iffs Polish imports have enjoyed since 1960.

These sanctions "are directed against the Polish people," the president said..

"We continue to provide hu­ . manitarian assistance to the peo­ ple of Poland through organiza­ tions such as Catholic Relief Services and CARE, as we have since the beginning of martial law," he added. .

In off-the-cuff remarks prior to announcing the sanctions, Reagan called Poland's rulers "a bunch of lousy bums."

The sanctions were criticized by government controlled news media in the Soviet Union.

Radio Moscow said Reagan was "interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign countries" with the aim "of worsening the Polish economy at the expense of the Polish people.

At Sunday Masses in Poland on Oct. 10" many priests criti­ cized the law and many churches wer!'! decorated with floral •crosses and pictures of Lech Walesa, head of Solidarity who has been under government de­ tention since the beginning of martial law. The floral crosses have become symbols of resis­ tance to martial law in Poland where about 90 percent of the 36 million population are Catholic.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope' John Paul II condemned as a "blood-chilling terrorist act" and a "criminal episode of anti-Semi­ tic hatred" an attack on a Rome synagogue which left a 2-year­ old b.oy 4ead and 34 people in­ jured.

The attack, also condemned by leading Italian .political figures and by Vasser Arafat, head of the Palesfine Liberation Organ­ ization, took place shortly before noon Oct. 9 at the end of a ceremony in the sYI!agogue mark­ ing the Jewish new year.

According to witnesses, at least five men threw hand gren­ ades into the synagogue as wore shippers began to leave the build­ ing. Two of the men also fired submachine guns into the crowd. ­ Angry members of Rome's -Jewish community, which num. bers about 10,000 gathered out­ side the synagogue .shortly after the.' attack, shoutmg. slogan.s agamst the press Itahand Pres 1d t S d P rt'·· iP en an ro e 1m an ope John Paul.

"It's/the pope's fault. It's Per­ tini's fault. You meet with Ara.

fat and you see what happens," shouted one man.

The comment was related to A'rafat's visit to Rome Sept. 14­ 15. The PLO leader met during his visit with Pertini and Pope John Paul.

During the papal meeting Pope John Paul pleaded for an end to violence as a means of solving Middle East problems.

In a telegram to Cardinal Ugo Poletti, papal vicar for' Rome, shortly after the attack, Pope John Paul said he felt "profound grief and consternation" because of the synagogue attack.

"I want to condemn this terror­ ist act and raise to God ale mighty my firm prayers for the victims of such a manifestation of hate and blind violence and peace and fraternity among all men," the telegram said.

L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily newspaper, said Oct. 9 that the atta<;k was "a manifestation c;>f cow~rdice, like all the violence' directed against ... those who have the right to live with their civil and religious freedom." .

Question No.1: Vote YES .This November, residents of Massachusetts will have ,the opportunity to eradicate some. of. the bias. and prejudice that have'been so evident in the.history of the state. All of us together can assure citizens of the Com~on,wealth that they will not be penillized for choosing to exercisea right given them by the constitution. All of us should vote YES on Quest.ion No.1, thus permitting state aid to non-pu}>lic school students and ending legalized' religious intolerance.

- Unfortunately, there is 'strong opposition to' Question, No. 1. Those' who wish to continue the hypocrisy of the past are'already -marshaling their forces. From the League of Women Voters to Americans United for Separation of Church and State, from the Wome.n's Bar ,Association ~o the National Education Association, from the' Massachu­ setts Advocacy Center, to the American. Jewish Congress, the word has gone out - oppose Question No.. 1, continue to deprive children in Catholic schools of their freedoms' . and nghts. , In the h,eadlong rush of opposition, facts have been distorted and disjointed. The hawks of the so-called Propo­ sition 2~, forgetting that most Catholic schools in this state have been and are operating on proposition O~, thun­ der tha.t public education is threatened if aid in any form is given to Catholic schools. .,'.

With little reference to democratic rights and free­ doms, literature is circulated that in essence' describes Catholics as subversive for asking that their rights be ac­ knowledged by the state. By me~ns, of innuendo, it is claimed that Catholics really want to padlock the front door of the little red public schoolhouse. Such tactics are disgusting. The political pundits of this state who oppose aid to Catholic schools are acting deceitfully in their oppo­ sition to Question No. 1. . , Only a few weeks ago the Catholic bishops o'f MassaI chusetts issued a statement urging members of their flock to vote responsibly. Among areas in which the bishops de­ clared that "solid theological guidance" has been offered was that of "the role of the government in providing proper aid for public education."

Let it be made quite clear that the Catholics of this Commonwealth who send their children to parochial or diocesan' schools do so as an exercise of religious freedom.

They do not want to close public schools. They simply want to live as free citizens with' the liberties and rights that should be guaranteed them', not given or withheld as a political option.

Passage of Question No. 1 will ensure that Catholic schoolchildren in Massachusetts will be fairly treated by the government that their parents support with their tax dollars. Parents who send their children to Cathoiic schools are not exempt from taxation. It $hould follow that their children should not be deprived of their fair share of the education benefits financed by these same tax dollars.

A YES vote on Question No. 1 wi,ll bring the state con­

stitution into line with the United States Constitution and

the Bill of Rights.

We urge our readers and all other Catholics of the Fall ' River ~iocese not to be misled by the many forces opposing Question No. 1. Voting in its favor affirms action already approved in 1980 and 1982..by the state' legislature: Let's get behind Question No. 1. and' get out the YES yote, thus ensuring. that freedom and equal rights will be­ come more than empty phrases in this Commonwealth.

I backed into my 17-year­ old son's car last June.

While it was initially trau­ matic, it turned out to be a parent maneuver I recommend highly. I didn't do it deliberately but I might again with another adolescent son down the road.

First off, it was dumb driving, I admit. I have no other choice.

I backed our 10-year-old station wagon down the hill of our drive­ way, and crunched the hood and fender of his 12-year-old Volks­ wagen bug into tinfoil while waving to a neighbor. No harm to my' car, I'm happy to report, but he appeared at the front door with such a stricken look that I knew instantly I had committed more than a venial sin. (Why can I never get such immediate at­ tention by merely calling him?)

But my neglig~nce turned out to be a blessing of sorts, albei~ an expensive. one. My son (who has given me an imprimatur to write this) and his friends spent the rest of the summer repairing the damage. They haunted junk yards in search of the limbs of old VW carcasses and came home triumphantly bearing a hood from one and a fender from another.

They rewired the headlights and brake lights. They pounded out dents, not just those I in­ flicted but others gathered from years of parking lot sOcializing.

And they sanded for what seem­ ed to be an eternity.

On day I came home to find three young men in face masks sanding away with three electric sanders and three radios turned high so they could hear them above the noise of the sanders.

Need I say the noise level of the neighborhood plummeted as soon as I reached the garage and threatened to pull all plugs?

They spent another day find­ ing the best deal on repairing and another couple of days tap­ ing chrome and lights to pro­ tect them from being spray painted as well. Two days at the paint factory and a final day of untaping and replacing chrome knobs and we had a shiny new old car in our' driveway. Of course, along with it we had less money in the parental pocket but we also had a wonderful summer.

I found that the incident took the boys off the streets and put them in the garage. Something there is about car ,repair that gives purpose and zest to the lives of men. As a woman I don't understand it, but as a mother I welcome it.

I saw camaraderie develop that transcends the usual horsing around of young men with too much time on their collective hands. All of them had jobs but they coordinated schedules to spend their free time working on

the car. And their sense of achievement at the end of the summer was fun to witness. They had created a car together.

I'm not saying "I'd do it again but I am toying with the idea of approaching other parents next summer with a suggestion of buying a junker together to keep our sons entranced. Community and church youth staffs might consider this as an option to pic­ nics and other activities dreamed up to bring youth together. In­ stead of building a youth center and furnishing it with ping-pong tables, it might be better to build a garage and furnish it with tools. .

I It's sure to draw the guys and their cars as well as the girls who hang around guys and their cars'. As for the parents, it beats hours of wondering where they've been and what they're doing.

And if any parents, particular­ ly mothers, need more specific instructions on how to damage their teenager's car without dam. aging their own, I'll be happy to supply the same.

"

By Francis DeBernardo NEW YORK (NC) - Two Catholic nun~ have bought the Brooklyn Bridge, at least as a good place for spiritual. reflec­ tion.

Dominican Sister Honora Nolty and . Sister of Mercy Sheila Browne, pastoral ministers at St. ~ames Cathedral in Brooklyn, ~.Y., believe the bridge, located in one of the world's busiest harbors and traveled daily by more than 100,000 vehicles and thousands of bikers, walkers and joggers, has a value other than commercial.

The two nuns have made a walk- across the bridge part of a confirmation retreat program they conduct for youngsters in the cathedral parish. The one· day retre4t, they said, helps the youngsters become more aware of being members of the church and citizens of the city.

"Being on the bridge lets them see the city up Close," Sister Nolty said, "and helps them get in touch with the environment.

It instills in them a sense that' the city is an important part of their roots.

"The call to be a Christian is a call to be abridge," .she con·

"It is part of our bap: The confirmation retreat be· tismal mission to be a bridge in gins at the cathedral baptistry, our homes, schools and city. . where the group talks about the Christ has a bridge between peo­ origins of their Christian life.

Vote YES on Number One Continued from page one pared to the great savings Catholic schools Make possi­ ble for taxpayers.

Other facts listed. by Father Coleman in support of a "yes" vote on Question No. 1 include the following: - The Massachusetts State Constitution is more restrictive than the Federal Constitution and the constitutions of many other states. Article 46, which has been amended over the years to allow aid to private colleges and universities, prohibits· aid to pupils of private elementary and secondary schools.

- Referendum Question No. 1 would amend the State Constitu­ tion and bring it into line with the Federal Constitution and the 'Bill of Rights. It would make possible the provision of ma­ terials, 'aid or service to pupils in non-public schools to the ex­ tent permissible under the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

- The provision of State aid to pupils of non-public schools should not be construed as a threat to public education.

Strong. public schools exist in those states such as Pennsyl­ vania, New York and Ohio which currently offer materials and ser­ vices to non-public school pupils.

A collaborative relationship be­ tween public and non-public edu­ cation will serve to strengthen the education received by all pupils in the state of Massachusetts.

- The cost of .any aid to be sought by pupils of non-public schools would be small compared to the' savings in taxes non-public schools make possible.

Catholic schools save taxpayers approximately $2 million for every 1,000 Catholic s~hool pu­ pils.

- Voting in favor of Refer­ endum Question No. 1 does not

mean voting in favor of tuition tax credits or educational vouchers. It is simply a vote that would enable the state legisla­ ture to consider provision of materials and aid that the Su­ preme Court of the United States has found to be within the limits of the Constitution.

- Among the materials, aid and services which the Supreme Court has found constitutional are the loan o~. textbooks, diag­ nostic services, therapeutic and remedial services off the prem­

ises of the non-public school, and

standardized testing and scoring.

For nuclear freeze MADISON, Wis. (NC) - In America's first statewide refer­ endum. on a nuclear weapons freeze Wisconsin voters have backed a proposal calling on the United States and other nuclear powers to negotiate a reduction in nuclear. weaponry. The freeze referendum asked whether voters wanted the state to "inform the president and the Congress of the United States that it is the desire of the people of Wisconsin to have the government of the United States work vigorously to negotiate a mutual nuclear weapons moratorium and reduc­

The vote of approval came two days after a "Freeze Sab­ bath" in Wisconsin churches and synagogues, held to draw atten­ tion to the referendum and the nuclear weapons issue. Auxiliary Bishop Richard J. SkIba of Mil­ waukee joined a rabbi and an official of the Wisconsin Coun­ cil of Churches in leading the Interreligious Committee for the Nuclear Freeze, which produced materials for the Freeze Sab­ bath. ,

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of 'Fall' River-Fri., 'Oct:' 15, 1982

P.O. Box 539 Attleboro, Mass. 02703

. WASHINGTON (NC) A new. survey s.hows vastly in­ creased amounts of money and people going into the family min­ istry in U.S. dioceses.

The survey, conducfed by the National Association of Cath­ olic Diocesan Family Life Minis­ ters, Inc., found that funding for family ministry has increased 105 percent since 1978, when the U.S. bishops issued their plan of pastoral action for family minis­ try. .

The findings are corroOOrated

by Father Ronald A. Tosti, FIIIl1 River diocesan director of' fam· Ily ministry, who points to the many services offered by the Family Life Center In North Dartmouth, including facUlties for retreats and parish functions, marriage preparation, senior cltl· zens, the divorced, separated and widowed and parish leadership programs.

I A notable undertaking has been a lecture week on the Bill· Ings methOd of natural family planolng, presented by Father William Gibbons, which con­ cludes tonight at the North Dart· mouth center with a 7:30 lecture open to the public. A retreat for the divorced and separated Is sCheduled for' the' weekend of Nov. 12 and 141.

The national survey also found· that the number of full-time workers in family ministry in­ creased by 48 percent and that the number of part-time workers was up 105 percent. Thirty-two dioceses which were without paid family life workers in 1978 reported that they now have full­ or part-time paid workers.

The a~sociation reported that of 168 dioceses which received

survey questionnaires, 113 re­ plied, a response rate of 67 per­ cent. In 1978 those 113 dioceses had budgeted $3,243,000 to fam­ ily ministry. In 1982 the same dioceses had earmarked more than $6,664,000 for family min­ istry.

Today there are 404 paid staff members working in the dioceses in family ministry. In 1978 there were only 237 staff members, the survey showed.

"The survey affirms that the bishops are taking their com­ mitment to renew marriage and family life seriously," said Father Thomas Lynch, U.S. Cath­ olic Conference representative for family life, who spoke at last week's. Hyannis assembly Of the National Council of Catholic Women.

"The bishops have opted not to build a national·· movement, but have actively tried to focus monies and personnel in a way that serves marriages and fami­ lies more directly. I believe in toe long run this will be more effective," added the priest.

Father Lynch said the survey illustrates just the tip of the ice· berg in the bishops' commitment to marriage and family life be­ cause it does not reveal the ex­ tent to· which other diocesan agencies have been .urged to de­ velop a family perspective in' their work.

"The greatest need at this time is for 'parishes to invest monies and personnel for the on-going ministry to married and family life," Father Lynch said.

"There still is a. need for more visibility of the church's 'commitment to marriage and family on all levels of .church.

. life," he continued. I "Families and marriages have to see the ex­ perience that the leadership of the church cares."

The family life ministers met in convention in' San Diego Sept.

28 to Oct. I. With the theme "Caring that Enables for the 80s," members heard addresses

by Father Carl Arico, director of priest personnel for the Newark, N.J. diocese, and Sister: Paula Ripple, superior general of the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

Workshops dealt with the ef­ fects of alcohol and drugs on the family, the proposed new Code of Canon Law, sexuality, Hispanic families and ministry to widowed in the parish.

Also marriage preparation, natural family planning, ecumeni­ cal marriage preparation, the handicapped and the family, and working with children of div­ orcedparents. \

/ For children

By Janaan ,Manternach One day Jesus and his friends stopped in a village to rest. They 'had been walking since early morning.

Martlta welcomed Je.sus and his fri.ends into her home. She asked them to .sit down and re­ lax then she rushed to the kit­ chen to perpare a meal for them.

Martha's sister. Mary, joined the guests. She sat on the floor in front of Jesus to listen to his words.

After a while Martha came back into the room. She seemed upset. She pointed' at Mary and complained: "Lord, are you not concerned that my sister has left

all the work to me? Tell her to help me."

Mary felt uneasy. She realized Martha was busy but she also felt that it was important for her to listen to Jesus. It. wasn't every day that he visited their home. \ , Martha stood there frowning,. waiting for Jesus 'to tell Mary to help her. Her face was tense. . "Martha , , Martha" , Jesus said to his married hostess: "You are anxious arid upset about many things."

He paused, a moment. He w4\nted Martha to know he ap­ preciated what she was doing for him but he also wanted her'

to be more at peace.

You are anxious and upset," he repeated. "But only one thing is required.

Jesus turned toward Mary, but continued talking' to Martha.

"Mary has chosen the'better por­ tion," he said. "She shall not be deprived· of it."

Martha felt a little hurt and embarrassed. She knew Jesus was thankful for her work. But she still felt angry with Mary.

As she returned to her cook­ ing, she kept wondering: "What exactly did Jesus mean? What is Mary doing that is so important?

What do I need to do that I am not doing?"

'The road goes ever on'.

By Dolores Leckey

The road goes ever on and on .

Down from the road where it begar) Now far ahead the road has gone .

And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet Until it joins some larger way Where. many paths ander­ rands meet And whither then? I cannot say.

Those haunting .words were sung by Bilbo the hobbit in Tol­ kien's famous. "Lord of the Rings" series.

Like Bilbo, all of us must travel down new paths through. out our lives. And for most of us the imRortant signs along the way come in the form of the people and experiences that have < changed us: I have not always welcomed the turns in my own road calm­ ly. But when I look back I see them as points when growth be­ gan, growth in faith and in per­ s.onal maturity.

Each time I look, I see more clearly that God has been with me on the journey.

So it is, I suspect, for most people.

He became convinced that his fu­ ture journey would follow a new path. He wanted to, combine the .. interior life with his 'work for justice. He has been faithful to that conviction and now many others, clergy and lay, have joined him in his creative under­ taking at the Shalom Institute for Spiritual Formation.

One does not always deliber­ ately choose to change. Some­ times the need to change and adjust comes upon us uninvited.

Perhaps, without much warn­ ing, we must change jobs and move to another part of the country. In the process we must give up having our clo'se friends nearby. Countless mobile people .today could testify to the pain this can cause and to how they've been changed by it.

Possessed of a terrific sense of humor, she could sp'rinkle her conversation with references that showed God was in charge of her life.

I suppose she struggled some­ times with doubts and anger, and she certainly experienced difficulties now and again with her family.

But relief clearly has been central to her life. Through her fidelity to the sacraments, to prayer and to other religious' de. votions, her faith has become more serene and 'more pro­ nounced as the years passed.

'The road goes ever -on'

Continued froll' page twelve as she coped with the situation.

The circumstances did not make her happy and carefree, but they did pull her toward growth.

For me, books often occasion change. They can affect the way I see the world, myself or God. Some authors direct my atten­ tion in new ways. .

I was raised in New York City so a few years ago, when I was introduced to the contem­ POl'8ry writer, May Sarton, I felt as if I were touching nature for the first time.

In her "Journal of a Solitude," 1 read these words: "The first day of spring and we are in the midst of a wild sn9wstorm! When it began yes­ terday swarms of birds came to the -feeder - first a flock of goldfinches. Then I glimpsed the bright pink beak of a purple finch.

"Now there are redwing blackbirds and, alas, starlings.

When they have gone the even­ ing's grosbeaks and jays wiIl have their turn .. . How empty the white world outdoors would look without all these wings."

Ms. Sarton unlocked a door for an urban dwelIer like me. On the other side of that door are winter trees and stars, patterns of sunrise and sunset . . . and signs of God's presence that for me were slurred before.'

What this alI says to me is that faith and the process - the stages - of life are not separate.

We can enter into the inevitable changes of life because we trust that God _is there, perhaps hid­ den sometimes. We can dare to make a hard choice because the light of faith is with us.

The person of faith· is willing to be changed and to grow be­ cause of the large events of life ~nd because of life's smalI de­ tails too - a conversation, birds at tile feeder, a child's question.

In faith we continue down new and perhaps larger paths even when, like Bilbo" we cannot say. where they will lead. For who can fathom the mind of God?
