Bishop Cronin In Rome For Ad Limina Visit The Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, has departed this week for Rome.

-Bishop Cronin will make the '~ad lim ina" visit to the Eternal City. complying with an ecclesiastical law which reflects an age-Old tradition. Bishops of dioceses are required at specific intervals to go to Rome to visit the basilicas of Saint Peter and Saint Paul and to pray at the tombs of these Apostles. The Latin word "limina," from which the special visit draws its name, means the "threshold," Thus Bishop Cronin will visit the "thresholds" of the two great Apostles in Rome. Himself a successor of' the Apostles. Bishop Cronin will travel to the Eternal City, the' See of Peter, where resides and reigns the successor of Peter, the Holy Father Pope Paul VI, the Center of Unity for all who profess the Faith first proclaimed by Peter, Paul, Andrew, James and the other Apostles.

On the occasion of the "ad limina" visit, Bishop Cronin will present a special report on th'e

status of the Diocese of Fall River. This is called the "Quinquennial Report," again hearkening to a Latin word for the number five. Such reports are pre-' sented to the Holy See every five years.

The Quinquennial Report generally follows a plan which ecclesiastical authorities have prepared. Bishop Cronin will comment in the Report on significant events and developments during the period 1969-1973. In fact, there were years of great significance in the Univernal Church and in the Diocese. The renewal in Catholic worship and discipline which the yatican Council proposed has been implemented.

Notable in this has been the modification 'in the central act of worship, the Mass. Bishop Cronin will report on a variety of Diocesan programs which have Turn to Page Two

Mission AppeallAsks Pray Love Give A tl:ree-fold theme - "Pray Love - Give!" - is at the heart of this year's Mission appeal to be' made in all churches and chapels of the Diocese of Fall River on the weekend of Oct. 19-20 on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

Never has the world needed prayer more, never have people needed each others love more and never bas the need to give been greater than at the present .time.

This year's Mission Sunday goal is $11 million. It will be used by the Society to assist over 138,600 missionaries engaged in all forms of mission work and service around the world.

For over 150 years the Society has been the channel for coilecting the offerings of Catholics to aid the Missions.

In 1622, 352 years ago, Pope Paul V founded the Sacred Con·

gregation for the Propagation of .the Faith, now also called the Sacred Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. Hist"orically occasioned· by -the dominance of the Spanish and Portuguese Crowns over all things missionary, in retrospect its foundation seems much more Divine Providence anticipating the beautiful missionary growth of the Church in recent times.

In 1822, 152 years ago, Pope Pius VII recognized and blessed Pauline Jaricot'srecently founded Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Historically it is explainable as the result of the missionary zeal of a handful of Catholics in Lyon, France. However in the vision of faith Divine Providence was preparing ave· hicle for sharing missionary con· cern and responsibility among the whole people of God.

Synod Mid-Point IBishops' Youth Reports Hunger VATICAN CITI (NC) - A Canadian archbishop has called on the synod of bishops to focus attention on the battle aga'inst world hunger.

Archbishop William E. Power of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, told the synod Oct. 12: "There is a growing chasm between the affluent overfed nations and the less wealthy and famished peoples of the world," He added: "We are faced with the nightmarish prospect of new economic conflicts.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Reports presented Oct. 10 by the 12 language groups of the world Synod of Bishops indicate that the topic of youth's bearing on evangelization is getting high priority from the synod fathers.

Each one of the dozen groups which have been meeting for ,about a week to draft "specffic, concrete proposals of a pastoral nature" on evangelization mentioned in their reports to the synod's plenary assembly that they had been discussing youth.

In 1922, 52 years ago, the missionary Pope Pius XI conferred Roman citizenship and therefore the Church's universality on the 'above-mentioned institution of the Church in France. Historically, this move was the result of the efforts of the National Director in I,taly, Monsignor Angelo Roncalli, later' to become Pope John XXIII. In God's Providence however the young and new Churches of Africa, Oceania and Asia just beginning to take root and spring up from the efforts of European and American missionaries, were being assured of a channel to receive sorely needed aid from the Churches of older Christianity.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - The world Synod of Bishops marked its halfway point Oct. 11 by concluding discussion on the first half of its agenda-an exchange of experiences in evangelization.

About 15 bishops gave reactions to reports submitted the day before by the 12 language groups into which the more than 200 synod Fathers are divided.

Several Asian bishops mentioned that the topic of Church relations with non-Christian religions was being slighted in the synod. A few synod delegates from Western nations stressed the Church's obligation to effect change within society.

Cardinal Dearden oi Detroit, in an intervention on secularization, said that the Church today must prove by word and deed its "claim to stand and speak for Christ." He added that the Church must demonstrate the Turn to Page Five

Locally, the success of Bishop Cronin to the See of Fall River, coming upon the retirement of the Most Reverend James L. Connolly in 1970, came near the beginning of the perio~1 covered by the Report. Admtnistrative reorganizations, establishment of the Vicariates, creation of the central Diocesan Department of Education and similar activities are noted in the Report.

Among many positive developments which are contained in the Repprt, ~ish()p Cronin identified the encouraging -signs in the . Vocations Apostolate ·as highly significant. The number of seminarians engaged in theological studies has shown a steady increase during the period of the Report. That nine Deacons are to be ordained in the coming year as Diocesan priests is considered to be a great potential boon to pastoral care in the Diocese.

Evangelization Needs Media For Success VATICAN CITY (NC)-Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati has focused on the importance of mass media in preaching the Gospel, pointing out to the Synod of Bishops that young Americans "spend vastly more time watching television than they do in the classroom or in Church."

In the second written inter· vention that the archbishop has submitted to the synod, which is meeting to discuss evangelization in the modern world, he declared: "The Church cannot af· ford not to be involved in the media of social transmissions if it is to evangelize effectively."

"Sometimes the Church has to be critical if the media abuse their responsib~lity; neveI'-thE:(· less the Church's "basic atti tude should be positive," Archbishop Bernardin declared.

As a practical approach to the use of media, Archbishop Bernardin suggefited that the Church train its agents of evangelization to be aware of this aspect of contemporary life, and take it into consideration in their work.

This suggests the need for well developed courses in communicat,ions in seminaries and programs of formation, as well as for treatment of communications in the continuing education of priests." he said.

Ours Is a Worldwide Parish Mission Sunday reminds us to remember and experience our solidarity with the Church everywhere in the world. Profound changes have come over both the world itself and the Church's missionary work in recent years.

As recently as a few decades ago, missionary work was the sending and supporting of missioners to distant and little known places and peoples. Gradually and happily, a change has come. This same "missionary work" is now done on the local scene (e.g. in Africa and Asia) by local personnel who have assumed both leadership and responsibility.

A more profound appreciation of the nature of man is forcing us to accept the truth that con·

tradiction or opposition is possible between "development" work and "mission" work. It is not the best thinking to split up Church activities or mission activities into strictly social and purely religious activities.

There is a new awareness of the need for a greater sense of solidarity between all the "Local Churches" (Dioceses, Archdioceses, etc.) of the universal Church, as well as for an' intensified sense of mission in the person of each and every baptized Christian, and within every institution of the Church.

"Least of My Brethren" We beg, indeed we implore, your offerings too. The money that you sacrifice for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith this Mission Sunday will do three things: First. it will become the "daily bread" of new and young Local Churches in the poor parts of the world; it will feed and clothe and house the men and women who have given their lives to the full-time services of the missionary Church; it will maintain the physical presence of the Church (the Church that saves and serves) in Asia, Africa, the Islands of the Pacific and the Caribbean, as well as a good part , of Latin America.

Second, it will train and support the future leaders and workers of the Church; every single seminarian and religious novice in the young Churches is aided by the Society for t7!·e Propagation of the Faith. The lay cate· chists alone require five million dollars so that each can receive $8 a month-a pittance-for his or her full-time service!

Mrs. Gamache, widow of Henri Gamache and daughter of the late Jacques and the late Julie (Gagne) Levasseur, died in her 93rd year.

She is survived by five sons, two daughters, 18 grandchildren and one great grandchild. Among her many nephews and nieces are Re\'. Daniel Gamache, pas· tor of St. Jean-Baptiste Parish in, Fall ·River and Sister Marie d'Aquin, a.p. of the Dominican Academy in Fall River.

Lastly, your generous gift will enable the Society for the Propagation of the Faith to answer the pathetic and pleading cries of the young Churches for aid for their parishes and mission stations, for places to worship, to learn, to be healed.

Catholic Americans have always responded generously to the needs of the Missions. Our personal dedication and response is a necessary sign of the vigor of our faith, and our help is es· sential for the survival, in body and soul, of many of our brothers and sisters in the Missions.

Please respond in prayer and with sacrifices! Please pray, love, give on Mission Sunday, Oct. 20.

Re!!. John P. Driscoll

Rev, John R. Foister ~Leary Press-Fail Rive:

I.

Qf us who live in the United States have fQund reason to believe that the laity may be partially to blame, as we read the results of the U.S, bishops' 1971 survey of the priesthood. The mQre than 5,000 responding priests said that two of the most serious problems facing them were the difficulty' of reaching

peQple and IQneliness.' You may ask, how dQ these basic problems relate to Serra's Qbjectives?

"The priesthQod has certain

traditiQnally accepted characteristics that are not in dispute-the priest is the 'Alter Christus.'

H;owever, this characteristic may have been overemphasized to the pQint that we may have Qverlooked the fact that the priest is also a man, whQ desires and needs the satisfaction of recognizable accomplishment.

"Since" the priests' and Religious' principal labor is spiritual, a majQr part of their wQrk is nQt capable of ' 'precise, objective measurement, unfortunately, in tb:>se areas where results might be measured by visible improvement in the attitudes and actiQns of their people, I fear they may Qften detect signs Qf failure. If this is the case, I think it is humanly understandable that priests and· Religious may become frustrated, unless they are given .the taste of at least an occasional success." '

Priest-Pilgrims 'Given Faculties ROME (NC)-The RQme vicariate . has granted all priests. secular and Religious, taking part in pHgrimages to Rome during the 1975 Holy Year special faculties tQ hear confessions "as il) -their Qwn dioceses."

Any priest who may be visiting Rome privately during Holy Year may also hear confessions if he is so requested, the RQme vicariate also announced Oct. 2. ,In additiQn, the vicariate, also annQunced . that all priestconfessors in Rome, whether Rome-based 01: with pilgrimages, may grant absolution Qf sins and censures normally reserved tQ residential bishQps. The vicar~ iate's ruling made an exception of the "ad hominem:'lcensure, that is a censure incur~ed for wilful disobedience Qf a warning given by an ecclesiastical superior.

Knights Qf Columbus of the Diocese of Fall River will converge upQn St. Mary's Cathedral at 10 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 20 for their annual Columbus Day Mas~ in the See oity.

District Deputy Norman Bowlin, K of C program director, calls upon the 22 councils and six assemblies of the diocese to be represented on this occasion.

Ninet.y years ago, 'a YQung CathQlic priest, Rev. Michael J. McGivney, curate Qf St. Mary's Parish, Nw Haven, Conn., fulfilled his, dream and united a small group Qf Catholic men in a society founded 'upon the ideals of thzir faith.

Within a few generations, the Knights of Columbus flourished in every state of the union, Cana:la, Mexico, and the Philippines; and its principles of' "Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism" became the personal goal of hundreds of thousands of Catholic men. Its memberspip grew continually, representing men Qf every walk of life,and it now exceeds a milliQn. Education of Youth The ideals of, the Knights of CQlumbus have been translated into constructive, dynamic and p.ositive action in the fields of religion, education, charity and civic endeavors, and the Knights of CQlumbus justifiably take pride in their achievements.

FrQm its beginning, no. activity Qf the organization has commanded as much interest as the education Of YQuth. In its early years as a fraternal, order, the K Qf C presented a gift of $50,000 tQ endQw a chair of American history at the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.; and since that time, when a gre,at need confronted th,z university, the order raised among its own members half a milliQn dollars for scholarships. .Jt has also ex. pended mQre than $8 million in support of schools in various cities. .

The order is well known fQr its educational trust fund which provides higher education' for sons and daughters of members killed or d,jsabled in war.

Many Charities The Supreme Board of Directors adopted a resolutiQn in July 1951 to establish a K of C foundatiQn fQr .the preservatiQn of J-..istoric documents and the micrQfilming of important documents at the Vatican Library for the purpose of making them available for research and study ,in this country. The depository fQr such microfilms has been established at St. Louis University, St. LQuis, MissQuri.

The activities of the K of C in the field Qf charity are too vast to enumerate. Its charitable projets are as numerious as its councils, encompassing the full.spectrum Qf human needs: from establrsr..ing homes for orphans or ,the mentally retarded, erectingmission chapels, establishing seminary burses, and providing relief for disaster areas to financing sports activities for youth.

"" PARISH ANNIVERSARY:' Sacred Heart Parish in New Bedford has celebrated a century of service to God and people. Participants in the jubilee are, left to right, Most Rev. James J. Gerrard, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of Fall River; Most Rev. Louis F. Gelineau, D.D., Bishop of Providence; Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, S.T.D., Bishop of Fall River; and Rev. Ernest F. Blais, pastor.

Reports .

Continued from Page One "social value of faith" by joining in the process of "planning, political choice and public opinion," which is shaping society.

Jesuit superior Father Pedro Arrupe told the synod that the Church should make a "better study of public opinion to see how the Church can possibly help those in mass media responsible for forming objective public opinion."

Another of the 10 representatives from the Union of Superiors General who are members of the synod drew attention to the Church's contemporary image problem. Father Theo van Asten, former superior general of the White Fathers, said the Church is too often identified" as Western, Latin, and male. He said he was surprised to see how .few women were represented at the synod, especially in' view of the large role missionary Sisters play in evangelization.

Recognition of Women At that point, according to Father James Roache, the English-language press secretary, Pope Paul VI, who attended the day's session, gave a gesture of recognition to the four women entitled to be in the hall. Two represent Religious orders of women and two are periti or expert advisors. None can vote in the synod.

Orthodox Father Raphael Letalf, a synod representative from an Easternrite religious order (the Maronite Antonians), said that youngsters are scandalized by the lack of intercommunion and shared liturgies between Catholics and Orthodox Christians. He urged more "eucharistic hospitality" with the Orthodox . and with other "separated brethren."

Saint A saint is a sinner who kept on trying.

Youth

Continued from Page One Two groups recommended that youtr.. should be taken as the theme for the next Synod of Bishops.

The reports of the language groups deal with their discussions on part one of. the synod agenda, described as an exchange of experiences on evangelization.

Evangelization is the synod's theme. The reports will be used as input in drawing up final synod .recommendations.

Youth's Zeal Other topics mentioned recurringly by the language groups were outreach to non-practicingCatholics, contemplation and evangelization, and the freedom which local churches should be given within the universal Church. "Local church" was generously taken to mean a diocesan or a cluster of dioceses.

On youth, most groups noted youth's zeal for authenticity and justice. They stressed the necessity of listening to youth and of "showing concern for their problems and aspirations," as one group reported.

The one German - language' group asked that youth be made the theme of the next synod, and that youth be allowed to contrib· ute to it. An English-language group, whose secretary was Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati, asked that· youth within the context of the family should be the focal point of the next synOd.

Hunger

Continued from Page OnE' soon become a modern weapon of war."

As a result, said Archbishop Power, the Canadian bishops have "asked of our fellow citizens and of our government a concerted effort to modify affluent life-styles and to develop a . new pattern of '·caring, sharing and sparing.' " He suggested that this should be a common goal of local churches and thz Un·iversal Church.

The archbishop asked: "If we cannot unite in the struggle to find daily bread for all, where will we ever find unity?

"Nor is it enough to give our surplus bread to others."

Rather, the rich nations of the earth. must help other nations "to make their own bread," he said.

Archbishop Power remarked that mankind is "both matel'ially and spiritually hungry," and concluded that God "has chosen to still both kinds of hunger by one means: His Son, the Living Bread.'.'

Calms Frazzlied Nerves I

We 'mentioned in our last article that we would describe how to set up a fluorescent ga,rden for the cold winter months ahead; so here goes; The key to this kind of garden lies in the use of the new Gro-Lux·· tubes which can be purchased at any uses about ~ as much current as electrical supply center. . fluorescent light fixtures four They come in various burning for 11 0 to 12 hours. lengths from 18 inches to four feet-and sell for quite a bit more than normal fluorescent lubes. The last four footers I bought cost $4.95 each. These tubes may be used in any standard fluorescent fixture.

A garden can be placed in, a bookcase, on the kitchen counter, in a closet, on a window sill or anywhere a fixture can be installed. In my case I have one small garden in the kitchen under a three foot fixture in'stalled under a cabinet and another in the basement under eight foot fixtures hung - over shelves. The only restriction in placement of fixtures is that the plants should be from three to eight inches from the lights.

Thirty Cents

The lights must be hurned from a minimum of 10 hours a day lo a maximum of about 14 hours. Last year I figured out the approximate cost per set of lights per month and according lo my calculations at the increased rates we were paying, the cost. per month per set of lights' was. approximately 30 cents. Fluorescent light garden aficionados sometimes invest in automatic devices to turn the lights off and on at preset hours, but this is an added cost which really isn't a necessity.

Whatever, the cost, I can vouch for the fact that plants ,grown under lights grow beautifully. Their quality makes the cost and effort involved seem minor when one compares them with ordinary house plants. You may feel a bit gu-ilty about using lights when we are told to cut down on electricity, but one can rationalize this by giving up one hour of television, which

I left the dishes right there on the table ... and cut out fabric and started to sew a new dress for myself.

Strange. I was so exhausted a few minutes earlier" and suddenly my brain was clicking and I was full of energy. , I quit sewing at 11 o'clock. 1 found there was no danger leaving the dishes. No one stole them. I had them done in a half-hour, and was reading the paper, having a' cup of tea before my husband was home from the meeting.

I not only had a dress half made, but I was in a much bet· ter frame of mind for having taken the time to do somethig I like to do, something for myself, instead of working on my martyr complex all evening.

Take Time I've tried this a couple of times recently. I just take time to do something I like to do. lt seems to build a better mental attitude. lt reduces fatigue, and in the long run, I get more done.

Necessary chores get finished.

Some "busy work" gets put aside. And in between there is time for myself if I make it!

Rites Renewing Christian Commitments

Such a ceremony, he said, would be a personal ratification of promises made for most Christians by godparents at Baptism. The rite would also serve as an adult affirmation of pledges made at confirmation.

Cardinal Suenens said that the rite takes place "at certain decisive thresholds of a Christian's life." He stressed that an urgent need exists for pastors and liturgy experts to draw up some liturgical forms which are "flexible and adaptable, taking into consideration the diversity of persons and situation's" in the Church.

An American President unfit to continue in office is depicted in Jim Bishop's new book i'FDRts Last Year" (Morrow, 105 Madison Ave., New Y~rk, N.Y~ 10016. 690 pages. $12.50).

life-sustaining forces left. He could expire at any time."

Actually he dragged through another year. During" it World War II was roaring to a climax in Europe and in the Pacific; Roosevelt ran for and was elected to a fourth term; and momentous decisions about the post-war world' were being contentiously worked at. The burdens and demands' of the presidency were titanic.

Concessions to Stalin But the President was slowly dying. He looked ghastly, lost weight, lacked appetite. His attention faltered, his hands trembled, his mouth sometimes hung slackly open. People who saw him close up were "appalled.

He could rally amazingly, flaunting the rags of his greatness. He campaigned with a deceptive show of vigor as election day neared. He endured the long, windy, wrangling sessions of the Big Three Conference at Yalta, to and from which he had to travel thousands of miles.

At "Yalta, fateful concessions were made to Stalin. These were craftily concealed at the time, but later came to light. They in- . sured that no such peace and order as Roosevelt had pmmised would come about.

Some of the responsibility for this failure must be attributed to Roosevelt's mistaken belief that he could handle Stalin. At Yalta he was rudely disabused of this foolish notion. But some of it must be laid to the President's moribund state.

Anatomy of Politics He had considered himself the man. In" fact, he should in all conscience have quit. But he clung to the presidency and gave no briefing of any kind on anything to the Vice President, Harry Truman.' ,Curiously, - although throughout the year there was a daily session with a cardiologist, Roosevelt never once discussed his condition with this doctor.

Prelate Stresses Role of Sermons In E.vangelization VAl1ICAN CITY (NC) - The sermon as a concrete means of maintaining and spreading the word of G~d was stressed to the World Synod of Bishops by Cardinal John J. Wright, prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy.. .speaking in Italian, American Cardinal Wright told the synod that his talk dealt solely with the sermon, or homily, which the Second Vatican Council had defined as "an integral part of the liturgical action."

"All know that the faith of our followers is nourished and developed by the proclamation, and in no matter what form it is made, of the word of God," said Cardinal Wright.

"Today in many individual churches this proclamation of the word has become a real problem."

• The cardinal said that at one time the word was part of fam· i1y, school and daily life. "Today that is not the case," he said.

Sunday appears to be the only. day on which adults can be reached, Cardinal Wright noted, and hence the importance of the sermon.

Three Principles Cardinal Wright outlined three principles to ensure that the sermon attains the scope of evan· gelization: I )-It. must be open. The ob· servation may seem banal, it is so obvious. We cannot deny that often our Christians do not un· derstand what we are telling them because of or language is beyond their reach ... The bib· Iical language is not that of the man of today, except perhaps when it speaks of the very person of Christ. '. .

2)-For our homily to be effi-

cacious, its content must be reo lated to the central nucleus of the faith, be seen therefore as an aspect of the mystery of Christ,

the center of our faith; 3-Finally, for our homily to be effacicious, it is indispensable that its content be within the

to "its maximum for the internal evangelization of the Church, which is the premise for external evangelization."

I rish Ecumenical Relations Bad DUBLIN (NC) - ProtestantCatholic relations in the Republic of Ireland are not as bad as they arc in Northern Ireland, but they are not satisfactory, an Irish Jes· uit ecumenical expert said.

"Is it not true that the attitude hetween Catholics and .Protestants in the republic often bear :I t.ragic resemblance to those between black and white in the U. S. A.?" Father Michael Hurley ilsked.

"Is is not true that the attitude here, as there, is 'Fine, provided you don't marry one:?"

Father Hurley, director of the Irish School of Ecumenics spoke at a press conference held here to ,prese~t the program of an international congress on mixed marriages that the school has organized.

He said opposition to mixed marriages is one of the main harriers to experimenthtion in integrated education in both Northern Ireland ancl the Republic of Ireland.

The churches arc still confronting each other, not sharing with ,each other, he said. Each side is primarily concerned with being itseIfand preserving itself, and neither is concerned with or for the other, he added.

Father Hurley contended that· the experience of an increasing number of couples in mixed marriages has little or no relationship to what the churches say about mixed marriages.

KNOW YOUR FAITH Mirror Mirror On the Wall ...

Black and White -- Love and Hate

I

By Gerald A. Pottebaum

Remember the queen in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?"

She had this magic mirror which lold her the truth about herself.

By consulting this mirror she found out that someone lived who was fairer than she: Snow White . . . who else? So she brewed a potion of poison and gave Snow White a fix disguised in an apple. But good prevailed, as everyone knows, when a handsome Prince saves her with a magic kiss.

As often as we've heard this tale and others like it, we never seem to tire of the story they unfold. "The Ugly Duckling."

"The Wizard of Oz." "HumptyDumpty." "Winnie the Pooh." As our ,consciousness children, dawned in a grand menagerie of intriguing characters.

They seemed to get hold of our inner feelings and bring them out with more ease than we could manage by ourselves in "real" life. In a way, they seemed more real than the people who surrounded us.

Sometimes one could feel a stronger emotional attachmefnt to the fairy-tale and nurseryrhyme characters than to one's own family members.

Somehow these fantasy friends seemed more personal than the people closest to us. Unlike the real people whom we knew and who were supposed to know us, the members of our mythical family seemed to know the darkness of our lives. They seemed

to tell us things about ourselves even before we were a ware of them. We didn't have to tell them how we felt or what we thought; they seemed to know already. What's more,. they seemed to be a way for us to make sense out of life, to describe what was going on beneath the surface of "real life."

At one time or another each of us has felt bubbling up in us a poisonous brew while we played ,the part of a, Delicious Red Apple. In one way or another, we've felt the glow in us of a prince (or princess) charming, and we've loved someone back to life. Then again, we've found in us the shattered pieces of Humpty-Dumpty ... and all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put us together agaIn. Fantasy World Motion pictures, radio, and television greatly enhanced our fantasy world, and as we grew older new figures joined the costume party.

Whether or not we like to admit it, these folk heroes and heroines, their behavior patterns, an~ the my.thical character of their stories greatly inflence the way we feel about ourselves. Each of them represents something so vital Turn to Page Fourteen

Aftermath of the First Sin . Man rebelled against God and by a divine irony experienced within himself an inner rebellion of the flesh against the spirit.

Estranged from God, he experienced an inner estrangement, an inner tension, an inner divisiveness that could and would lead to what the Apostle Paul refers to as the war. of the flesh against the spirit.

By REV. PAUL F. PALMER, S.J.

"So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin" (Rom. 8:21-25).

ConcupJscence Catholic theology has given a special name to this law or rule of sin, this imperious force with which man must do battle. It is called concupiscence. Against the Protestant Reformers, who tended to identify concupiscence with original sin itself, the Fathers of the Council of Trent insisted that concupiscence is not itself a sin, but a consequence of sin, the aftermath of the first sin, a tendency, a propensity towards' sin. which calls for struggle, but a struggle in which man can be vic· torious, as Paul asserts, "through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Earlier theologians tended to identify concupiscence with the unruly, undisciplined and promiscuous tendencies of the sexual organs themselves. Later theologians are more inclined to speak of concupiscence in terms of totality of man's evil tendencies, spiritual as well as carnal.

Admittedly Paul does not distinguish between flesh and soirit as we do today. When' he says, "But I am carnal, sold under sin" (Rom. 7:14), Paul uses "carnal" not only for man's bod· ily nature and its material desires, but for man's whole nature, insofar as it is ruled by selfish interests.

Concupisence in this broader Turn to Page Fourteen

One of my favorite comic strips is "Peanuts." I like Charlie BroWn, Lucy and the rest of the "Peanuts" gang because they arc so real, so much like you and me.

When I laugh at or with them, I know that I am laughing at my own human foibles. Charlie and his friends normally unmask some deeper dimension of everyone's daily experiel1ce.

Continued from Page Thirteen a step toward inner reconciliation.

Caring, Respect and Appreciation There· is, though, another strategy, still more 'basic, a strategy that touches more directly on the very experience of inner conflict. Doctrinal understanding alone cannot create inner reconciliation and peace. What is most effective is the experience of being loved, appreciated, accepted, , forgiven. ,Religious educators need first of all to genuinely care for and struggle to appreciate those they hope to lead to deeper faith and inner peace. This is as true of bishops, priests, and catechists as it is of parents. What enables inner reconciliation and the gradual victory of good over evil, more than everything else, is human caring, respect and appre,ciation.

Approach Through Love The two strategies are most effective when used together. The approach through understanding is suggested by Lucy's lecture on the deep division of the human heart into black and white, love and hate. The approach through love is -described beautifully by Louis Evely in his classic, "That Man Is You" (Newman Press,

SCHOOLBOY SPORTS IN THE DIOCESE

By PETER J. BARTEK Norton High Coach

Feehan Collides With Case In Pivotal Division II Game Bishop Feehan High of Attleboro will square off against Case High of Swansea Saturday in a pivotal Division II Southeastern Massachusetts Conference football contest.

The Diocesans enter the fray with a slim lead in the eight team divisional championrealignment took place the ship race. After losing their When Parochials were moved into opening day game against Division II. powerful 'North Attleboro the Shamrocks have rolled to three straight victories including last Saturday's 12-0 conquest of tough Wareham. Case brings an undefeated, but slightly blemished, record into the game.

Both Feehan and Case arc newcomers to bracket II. Feehan played in the large school division the first two 'years. Originally the Shamrocks were placed with the larger schools because of their excellent record in the old Bristol County ci'rcuit. However, Fe,ehan, which was three to four times smaller than most of its divisional opponents found the going extremely difficult.

Conversely, Case was moved up a division following the first two seasons of grid play. In two gridiron campaigns the Cardinals lost only twice. Both defeats came at the hands of the Wareham Vikings. The two schools now compete in the second division.

Saturday's contest will bring together two of the most respected scho'olboy coaches in the area. Coach Paul O'Boy, the veteran Feehan mentor, always has his charges prepared. Knowing the importance of this week's game, he will be doubly sure the Shamrocks are ready to go.

Local Clubs Hockomock League Standouts Coach Joe SaRtos of Case has completely turned around the Cardinals fortunes in the past three years. At a time when the Cardinals were finding it difficult to win, Santos came on the scene and reversed the trend.

Feehan will have to watch for one of those patented Santos finishes.

While Case is hosting Feehan other important Division II cantests will be staged throughout the diocese. Msgr. Coyle-Bishop Cassidy High of Taunton who is responsible for one, of the blemishes on Case's record (2-0-2) will entertain Fairhaven, Bishop Stang of Dartmouth is at Bourne and Wareham is at Seekonk.

In last week's Division II games Fairhaven beat Bourne 14-6, Stang rolled over Seekonk 28-6, and Coyle played Case to a 12-12 stalemate.

The diocese's three representatives to the Hockomock League

Taunton' Disposing Coach Tony Day's Mansfield Green Hornets, the doormat of the Hockomock League for the past few seasons, showed last Saturday they are not to be taken lightly. Franklin was supposed to have little trouble with the Mansfield eleven. But the Hornets' sting.was deadly for the Panthers as Coach Day's proteges eked out a big 19-14 victory.

The win may give Mansfield the impetus it needs for Saturday's game at Canton.

'Back in the Southeastern Canference, Division I pace setter Falmouth will take a break from league play Saturday and Division HI frontrunner New Bedford Vocational will enjoy a week off.

Unbeaten Falmouth had a more difficult time disposing of ,Somerset (14-0) last Saturday than most prognosticators ex·

are making their presence felt in that nine team loop. North Attlebora continues to maintain its undefeated-untied pace, Oliver Ames of Easton cha'Uenges and Mansfield puJls the major upset of the week.

Coach Bob Guthrie's defending champions won their third straight league game Saturday last 20-6 over Stoughton. The powerful Red Rocketeers will travel to Wrentham Saturday to meet dangerous King Phillip Regional. The Warriors, always a Hockomock chaJlenger, knocked Oliver Ames from the ranks of the unbeaten last week by an 18-12 count.

OA will attempt to regain its winning form at home Saturday against league power Franklin.

The Tigers presently trail North in the loop standings by a single game. However, they will need a victory Saturday to keep pace.

Franklin will be no soft touch thanks to Mansfield.

BAPTISM FOR YOUNG AND OLD: Cardinal Paul YuPin (right) of Nanking, China, officiates at the baptism of an infant and a 104 year old woman at Cabrini Health Care Center in New York City. The baby is Peter Yao, son of John and Josephine Yao and the old woman is Mrs. Mary Lee. The cardinal was visiting the city in his annual effort to promote the Sino-American Amity Foundation for the benefit of Chinese students.

After 20 minutes of masterful play, Pele called a halt by pulling off his soccer shirt-the Number 10 be made famous throughout 52 national· and world competitions and a record of 1,216 goals. Fans, newsmen and photographers invaded the field.

Crowds at the stadium shouted "Stay, Stay" as Pele turned to the four sides of· the stadium blessing himself. as he bid fans goodby.

Teammates said Pele always made a point of inviting them to go along on visits to churches and shrines during their tours.

This was true of the visit to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City in the 1970 world games.

His I,OOOth' goal came during an exhibition game for the benefit of the poor children of Brazil at Christmas time. People started calling him King Pele after the successful games of 1958 in Sweden.

After his soccer fame he became a popular advertiser for commercials on radio, film and television. He carefully selected the subjects and texts and re·, fused to advertise cigarettes or alcoholic beverages.

To the many requests he has received from fans and mana'gers to continue his brilliant sports career, Pele answered: "To keep my commitments at a good level, it will require much sacrifice and time away from my family. It is time I devote myself to my family."
