Cardinal had a dream VATICAN CITY (NC) - Here is the text of an oral intervention at the world Synod of Bishops given by.Cardinal George Basil Hume. of Westminster, England.

I speak in my own name, and in my own name alone. I have listened to many speeches intently and attentively - well, that is not quite true. I confess that I have from time to time fallen" asleep. During one of these, I had a dream. I will speak of my dream.

I heard a voice speaking, and it spoke of the church, and I saw in my dream a vision. It was a vision of the church. I saw a fortress, strong and upstanding. Every stranger approaching seemed to those who defended it to be an enemy to be repelled; from that fortress the voices of those outside could not be heard.

The soldiers within showed unquestiening -eHeieRGe, and that was much to be admired: "Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do or die." It seemed thus in my dream, and then I remembered, upon awakening - it was only just to do so that dreams distort reality. They exaggerate.

Then I had another vision. It was of a pilgrim, a pilgrim through history and through life.

That pilgrim was the church.

'Cuba pardons Americans

Nobel prizes to Catholics

WASHINGTON (NC) A general pardon for all U.S. prisoners in Cuba - includes two Americans who received 24-year jail sentences for dropping Christian tracts from an air~. plane while flying 'over the is~ land country.

The men - Walter White of Glendale, Calif.,' and Mel:vin Lee Bailey of Newport News, Va. - belong to Jesus to the Communist World, Inc., a fundamentalist group which specializes in sending Christian and anti-communist literature into the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

In a letter sent to the United States from their Cuban jail, the men said' they flew over Cuba on May 26, 1979, dropping Christian .tracts over several cities. Because of a storm they . were forced to land in Cuba and OUR LADY OF LOURDES were placed under arrest.

Two Catholics are among recipients of 1980 Nobel prizes.

They are Czeslaw Milos, a Polish poet and novelist living in exile in the United States and Adolfo Perez Esquivel, an Argentine human rights activist.

Milosz, 69, who has been a U.S. citizen since 1970, is a tenured lecturer in Slavic languages at the University of California at Berkeley.

In the citation accompanyoing the pI1ize, worth about $210,000, the Swedish Academy sa.id of. him: "oJn. both a outward and an -inward sense he is an exiled writer, a stranger for whom physical exile is really a reflection of a metaphysical - or even religious - spiritual exile applydng to humanity in general. The world that Milosz depicts in his poetry, prose and essays is the world in which man lives after having been driven out of paradise." .

At Newman Hall-Holy Spir路it Parish, the Catholic parish at the University of California at Berkeley, where Milosz attends Sunday Mass regularly, the announcement of the Nobel Prize award at Masses on Oct. 12

brought applause from the congregations.

At the VaUcan, Pope John Paul II called the award to iMilosz "a pleasant surprise."

Perez Esquivel, 49, a sculptor and architect, has since 1974 headed the Latin American Service for Peace and Justice, an organization which promotes human, 'sooial and economic rights through non-violent means and assists religious and secular agencies' throughout Latin America. The -service has assisted , peasants seek,ing land and workers attempting to improve their conditions: Awarding the pr,ize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said Perez Esquivel, who was imprisoned for 15 months and tortured

by Argentine military authori~es, has "shone a' light in the d~rlt颅 ness" of terrorism and repression in Argentina. . lIn the shabby offices of his organization an Buenos Aires, with a picture of Pope John Paul II on the wall, Perez Esquivel said, "I accept this prize in the name of Latin America and its, workers, ,in the name of its campesinos (peasants) and its priests who are working diligently for the peace and r.ights of all;"

'Twinkletoe, not flatfoot' Continued from page one lack of humor as major obstacles to building community, stressed the need of discipline in the life of an apostle .ana urged her hearers to "go beyond common -sense at least once a day, splurge a little. Even if you're so tight on the wire you can hardly make ends meet, buy a flower.

If you're asked for a nickel, give a dime. And always keep dO' your spirit .a little more twinkletoe than f:latfoot."

Sister Jose said her ,dress was borrowed because her old one had worn out and since August she hadn't been a.ble to find a sewing machine that wasn't broken in order to make new ones.

"Usually I have three dresses," she confided, "one blue for Mary, one brown for St. 'Francis and one burgundy for the Blessed Sacrament.""

She was ,in short sleeves on a chilly day and noted she'd lent her sweater to an old woman on the plane br-inging. her from 'Tucson to.. . New England. "When I challged planes she was asleep and I didn't want to disturb her."

She described her living acc'ommodationsas being in a mixed area of Tucson where she lives with another sister in a house continually overrun w-ith neighborhood children, who help her to make the soup which is one of her cooking specialties.

The people in her Hfe, she said, are an "entrance hymn."

Her presentations were greeted with a -standing ovation. She also spoke on Monday to priests of the diocese on "Prayer, Relationships and Balance in Ministry" a,t St. Patrick's pal'ish hall, Wareham.

The education convention con~ tinued Monday with presentations by Rev. Thoml!s H.

Groome, Ed.D. on "The Role of the Whole School in Christian Becoming."

'People are formed by the community dO' which they find themselves, he said, and it ds therefore crucially important that the whole school environment form a Christian community.

"To educate for justice, we must educate justly," he reminded his audience, Usting the following important attributes of the school commu~ity: -agreement on a common goal; -fostering of morale among ,teachers and administrators through open dialogue on such matters as pay and promotion; -making sure tha,t students perceive the school as Christian; -fostering an integral prayer Ufe; -promot,ing social awareness and community outreach; -providing opportunities for parents ,to grow in faith.

Father Groome, assistant professor of theology and relig,ious education at Boston College, is a native of Ireland. His backgroupd has included serv-ice as an associate pastor, campus chaplain and reHgious education coordinator and he has wide experience as a lecturer and in instructional television.

Sunday's program concluded with a prayer service of commissJoning for Christian educators, including parents, prJnci" pals and classroom and religious educators. Monday opened with a concelebrated Mass at which iBishop Cronin was principal celebrant.

Convention planniQg was in the hands of the Catholic Education Department, directed by Father George W. Coleman.

'the living word

Platform Accountability As the body politic prepares to exercise the true test of a democratic society, its right to choose its national leaders, it becomes more and more evident that the present election is evaluating new Questions in the search for political truth.

There are many whose political tendencies have enjoyed the favor of the electorate for some time, who tend to write 9ff the new assessment of politics as radical, right and wrong. , Having ridden the crest of the foaming waters .of the late sixties and early seventies, they still think that their w~ve is rolling along in the infinite ocean of their own, political world. Somehow the liberal world has become very intolerant.

One of the chief reasons for this demonstration of parochial motivations is the emergence into American political life of a new dynamic difficult to label or categorize. In attempts to expose it to ridicule, there are those who would categorize it as conservative or right wing.

Others, whose hypocrisy is more histrionic than historic, would say that those of this mind are religious dema- i gogues who really want to dissolve the so-called tradition of separatism between church and state. Yet others would say that this element of American political life 'flows from the moral rectitude of moral majority fanatics.

These attempts to pinpoint this political reality have one thing in common, fear. Those concerned are afraid to admit that there is nothing more archaic in the eighties than the reactionary liberalism of the sixties. They are afraid to admit that a new generation of voters sees American life in a light reflecting, current social problems. They are afraid that, if awakened,. the national public conscience will end their dismal attempt to shape America.

What all this means is that in this election of 1980 there is a n~w organized force ready to enter the American political mainstream.

Recoiling from the social and moral problems surrounding them, those who are part of this movement can no longer remain inactive. A melange of issues has activated their determination to be part of the political process which determines the quality of national life. ' Issues of the marketplace, such as inflation, abortion, euthanasia, unemployment, corruption, pornography and tax inequities have fused them into a political reality.

There are millions of Americans who see in this presidential election the beginning of a new politics, a 'politics that distinguishes between platform issues and clamorous candidates, 'a politics which puts moral choice ahead of party allegiance, which does not hesitate to declare that it represents a people who affirm "In God we trust."

Those who believe this will not be disappointed by a temporary setback in this election. It would be well for those who claim to represent the people to begin accepting this reality.

Political responsibility demands accountability. The time of reckoning is fast approaching.

sensitivity in areas of racism and anti-Semitism and remain blind to its own anti-Catholicism is astonishing.

It is' at times such as these that Cardinal Medeiros stands so far above his critics.. His character has endeared him to the faithful of the archdiocese of Boston during the past 10 years.

That he became archbishop surprised all. The odds of a boy born_ in the Azores heading the Boston See were as astronomical as the odds of a boy born in Poland becoming pope.

Indeed, the ways of the Holy Spirit are often inscrutable. We have come to know Cardinal Medeiros as a quiet, soft-spoken man who speaks with compassion about the rights of the poor, the unborn and the downtrodden.

He :is living proof that it is still impossible to proclaim the gospel in the world without su(fering persecution. Blessed are they who suffer persec,ution for justice sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven!

Family V8. gOlvernmen·t I nominate for the best lead sentence of an editorial this year, at least so far, the following: "We weren't to~ worried about the future of the family until we learned that President Carter had taken an interest in the subject." It is by A. E. P. Wall, lay editor of The Chicago Catholic.

Equally good is the second sentence: "Once the family became a matter of official federal concern, it fell into the hands of the same leaders who have given us oil crises, Postal rate increases, high taxes, high unemployment, a politicized Internal Revenue Service, a recession, and a foreign policy that baffles even our closest allies."

For years I have gone around with the notion that the' chief purpose of government is to ensure the protection of the individual. I don't think that government ought to do much more than this, and in fact it ought . to do everything possible to stay off our backs and leave the person to develop freely and fully without undue interference from the state. It is towerlngly ironic, however, that the government fails to interfere where most it should~

Has a government any interest in the protection of its citizens when it allows' production of unsafe toys for children? Instead, we have a government more interested in guaranteeing the profits of the businessman than in safeguarding the consumer; and, most shamefully, we have a government more interested in aborting children than in ensuring their continued existence.

Perhaps we should reclaim' the aristocratic principle in at least three important areas of our culture: the arts; education; and the family. I am in fact an unreconstructed aristocrat in all three areas. I hold that a bureaucracy' of ·the arts can produce nothing but mediocre art. I hold that a bureaucracy of education must produce, in the end, the very shambles in the public schools that we see everywhere today.

But I believe also that every family is (or should be, or had been at one time) a small aristocracy and not a mindless, anonymous unit to be controlled either by the state or the muddled-headedness of those who place a greater value on mere innovation than on the abiding realities of human experience.

eling to so many parts of the world - that is, in order to restablish the personhood of the salvific mission in a way that will be so recognized by the greatest number of people. His most active critics will always be those who want to diminish the patristic image of Christ and his continuing authority in the world.

The analogy to the destruction of authority in the family ought also to be obvious and clear. I recently read a Catholic press, columnist who chirped happily to her readers that things could be great for the family if only· we woul~ get ta.gether more often and exchange new ideas, etc. This facile welcome-wagon concept of families is really disastrous, and we are not exchanging new ideaS--only old errors.

We faddishly presume that "parenting" has already outmoded mothers and' fathers in the yes, dammit! - oldfashioned sense.

The American family is hardly in great shape. today, riddled . with divorced and single parents, teeners on the Pill, abortion sanctified as a human right by the Supreme Court and noV\( kiddie liberation (or the suing of parents) waiting in the wings at the lower end of the spectrum, with euthanasia waiting at the other end .::::. and why not, since euthanasia is a family matter, . too, and complements the logic of abortion?

Also, day care sounds wonderful and a blessing for all, doesn't it? Politically, unive.rsal day ~are means more and more government taking over control of our offspring. Sociologically, it means the further and damaging emasculation of the male role in the family. It is no accident that day care is one of the chief aims of the radical feminist movement.

Father Lane Father Arthur J. Lane, SS. CC., 67, who served many years in the Fall River diocese, died Oct. 12 in Long Beach, Calif. He was a native of Rochester, N.Y. and was ordained in Washington, D.C. in 1942.

Continued from page one The pilgrim was hastening toward the vision, toward all truth. But it had not yet reached it. It limped along the road.

The fortress was a temple, but the pilgrims lived in a tent. It is sometimes better to know the 'uncertainties of Abraham's tent than to sit secure in Solomon's temple.

Then I had another vision: I saw with great clarity that the insight of Paul VI in the encyclical "Humanae Vitae," confirming the traditional teaching of the church, was surely right.

But alas he did not know how best to speak to the people.

The road signs point the. way, but signposts become weatherbeaten and new paint is needed., It takes time to get the work done. My dream became a nightmare, for I saw the wrong paint being put upon the signposts, and the last state was worse than the first.

-We must never fail to listen to the other pilgrims. And they need encouraging. We must speak gently, compassiona~ely, co-agoniz.e with them, lead them gradually and speak a language which enables them to say: "Yes, . that is right; it is now clear; we accept the teaching."

I saw the pilgrims happy because they had been led nearer to him who is all truth, 'and they sang their joy in praise and thanksgiving. I awoke, and I said, "Vidi, g~atias."

From 1942 to 1945 he was assistant novice master at the Sacred Hearts provincial house in Fairhaven, then serving two years as superior of the community's minor seminary, also in Fairhaven.

Following three years as as.sistant pastor at Our Lady· of Lourdes parish, Wellfleet, Father Lane served in a pastorate in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. In 1954 he returned to Fairhaven, where h'e was pastor of St. Joseph's parish until 1958. '

playing around with the truth, is very.common from ages 5 to 8.

Fantasy may be the biggest reason. Children live in a won- derful world of dream and myth -where the truth is larger than any mere person, place or' thing.

Children have vivid imaginations. Most "whoppers" of the fantasy variety involve imaginary happenings or, imaginary friends. To make life more interesting, the child invents an adventure, then tells it as a real event.

Sometimes parents worry that unless, they correct the child he will grow up unable to distinguish betw~il fantasy, and reali~. This is unlikely, and if it oCcurs, it will be for reasons other. than the ·failure of parents to point out reality. All of us, including 6-year-olds, receive plenty of examples each day that help us to distinguish between what is real and what is imagined.

The child knows the difference.Frankly, I am more wor-

imaginarY;',Nothirig;: Go on to some other topic.,' , Finally, children may lie to avoid trouble and to keep from getting caught. This tactic is more common with older children. At least adults understand the motivation for this kfnd of lying. The chtld is protecting his self-interest, a move we dislike because it is calculated'and deliberate.,.

The best way to stop this type of untruth is not to ask questions that require self-iJ,lcrimination. Our legal system protects adults from admitting their crimes. We parents can offer the same privilege to our children.

Gather the evidence from other sources. Confront, accuse and puniSh children when necessary.

But don't force them to tell on themselves.

Avoiding confrontation eliminates big battles about confessions and telling the truth.

The parent no longer has to demand that the child confess, with dire threats. \his avoids giving too much attention to misbehavior, and it provides no temptation for the child to lie.

Children lie for fantasy reasons, to get attention and to stay out of trouble.' Parent-child confrontations are generally poor ways to stop lying in 6-. year-olds. Try the subtle strategies suggested here.

Chtldren of this age may also stretch 'the truth to gain attention. Here the focus is not so much on fun and whimsy as on showing off or shocking.

,Shroud not fake, declares Vatican priest-specialist An American artist's claim that the Shroud of Turin is a medieval fraud. has been dismissed by the Vatican shroud specialist, Msgr. Giulio Ricci, as "oddly curious, unreliable and far-fetched."

Chicago microscopist Walter C. McCrone said the shroud, believed by some Christianse to be the .burial sheet of Jesus Christ, showed traces of an artist's pigment.

He added, however, that he could not prove the shroud was not authentic. An international team of scientists made tests on the Shroud in 1978 during one of its rare Showings to the public in Turin, Italy. Its report is expected ..later. this year.

Father Francis Filas, a Chicago theologian and shroud specialist, said at the time of the 1978 viewing that space-age technology shows that no sign of brush marks can be found in photographs of the cloth, demonstrating that it was not the

work of an artist with fraud on his mind.

McCrone, however, estimated the shroud dated from 1356~ "I believe it is a fake. but I cannot prove it. A major portion of the image is in artist's pigment; How he did it, I cannot say," McCrone said.

McCrone is reported to have seen microlScOpically visible'· aniounts of red oxide clinging to many of the yellow_fibers" of. the cloth. This, he said, was similar to such iron-rich earth pigments as red ochre. ' MCCrone Said a carbon-14 testing probably would give a, date around 1356 but Msgr. Ricci said earlier this year that Vatican officials fear the proposed telJt would destroy part of ~the. shroud. " .

,DEFENSE II)' Father John Dietzen Q. A, friend is inviting me to join the Masonic fraternity, but , I am not sure about the church's attitude on sueh membership.

I understand Catholics can now belong to the Masons, but are there any norms or guidelines in this matter? Please give me a clear-cut answer on whether it is permissible for lay Catholics to join the Freemasons and still receive the sacraments. ~)

.

A. In 1974 Pope Paul VI (through the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) modified the ban against Catholics joining the Masons.

This ban' was in effect for centuries in most parts of the world because of the anti-Catholic, and often anti-Christian, hostility of masonic groups in many-~coun­ tries.

Since 1974 membership in ma~ sonic groups is permissible for ' lay Catholics (not for clergy) in those areas where there is no active and open opposition to the Catholic Church.

That is the rule now. Additional guidelines for Catholics • who might wish to join the Masons would' com'e from our basic principles of Catholic life.

This would include the attitude of the local masonic group toward religion and religious activities, Catholic and otherwise; the kinds of religious worship services in which members are expected to participate, and so on.

Judging from the mail I receive from various parts of the country, significant differences prevail from place to place. In some states Catholics seem to be quite comfortable in their masonic membership; in others Catholics "have understandable doubts about the compatibility of their Catholic faith with masonic attitudes and practices.

By relaxing 'its stand on membership in the Freemasons, tllerefore, the church does not take away the responsibility of each individual to be discriminating and thoughtful, and to act in accord with the principles of one's faith. A man considering such membership must make his judgments according to those principles.

Q. A recent article on the saints dealt with Mary Magdalene. It has me confused.

I attended Catholic schools through college and never was informed that Mary Magdalene was 'the sister of Martha and Lazarus, who was raised from the dead. Could you teli me on what authority it is concluded that they are one and the same? (penn.)

A. Even though biblical evidence is heavy in the other direction, a tradition in the Latin Church honors as one person three women in the Bible - the sinful woman in 'Luke (chapter 7); Mary of Bethany - the sister of Lazarus; and Mary Magdalene, who among other mentions of her in the New Tes'ta-

ment, experienced the vision of Jesus in the garden after the resurrection.

The Latin Church, unlike the Greek Church, honors all three women together under the title of St. Mary Magdalene on July 22.

Most, if not all, scripture scholars today agree with the Greek tradition.'/The Gospels are speaking of three distinct wom-' en. Far too many discrepancies appear between them in the Gospels to allow an identification of Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany.

Secular, ,Humanism

By Father J~ CatoU Director of the Christophe~

The word "humanism" for most people is a good word; so too the word "secular." However, the combination "Secular Humanism" points to something evil, something that denies God and poisons the minds of children.

More. and more parents are ,becoming aware that our public school System!s teaching the re~' ligion of Secular Humanism.

A fifth grader in Minnesota came home from school defending the right to commit suicide.

Her mother was snocked to find out it was part of a "death education" program being taught in the public school.

Barbara Morris, author of "The Religion of Humanism in Public Schools," says, ·~Interestingly enough many death education courses are being taught by sex educators, which is quite logical.

Sex education tells the students sex is for fun. This is followed by death education, which in accord with Humanist belief, teaches that this life is all there is there is nothing after death," Congressman John Conlan of Arizona has reacted strongly to this atheistic invasion of our schools, "There is a significant trend in education today to teach children that there are no values - that there is no right - that there is no wrong - that there is no God, that man is his own God. This is the heart of Secular Humanism."

The Congressman said,. "The U.S. Supreme Court states clearly in the 1961 decision (Torasco vs. Watkins) that Secular Humanism is a religion. Again in 1963; (Abington vs. Schempp) it is referred to as the 'religion of secularism: " ~For Congress to finance preferential treatment for the religion of Secular Humanism in public schools," Conlon maintains, "is to rebuke the tens of millions of Christian and Jewish

men, women and children who believe in God, who do embrace a faith in that God ... and who do not want to see those principles they teach in the home l~ter destroyed in the school," ,It is argued that sex education in schools will keep down the VD rate; reduce abortions and illegitimate pregnancies.

But is that true? The 1977 Statistical Yearbook of Denmark reported that after seven years of compulsory sex education there, VD was up 200 percent among those over 20, up 250 percent among those between 16 and 20, and up 400 percent in those tinder IS, While a!>ortions are up 400 percent and illegitimate pregnancies are up 200 percent.

It's one thing to teach the facts of life; but quite another to teach the Secular Humanist distortion of re'ality.

IIHow to help I

By Michael Creedon

In a society where productivity and mastery are valued, the senile may easily be devalued. The church can' minister to senile people first by counteracting this'tendency. ne urgency of this ministry is increased by reports of "granny-bashing" (the British term). Several recent research projects indicate that the very 'old are frequently subjected to physical abuse, sometimes by their own children. The church has adopted a strong pro-life stance in .regard to fetal life. A similar effort is needed for the aged.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta and the Little Sisters of the Poor are examples of church ministry to the weak and old.

Ministry to the senile can move in several directions.

1. Perhaps the first task is to educate church leaders on the problems of senility and possible ways to help. Few seminaries offer preparation for such a ministry:': . .

Of course, children and teens also need to develop understanding of the weakest elderly. Educational associations could take a leadership role in the development of appropriate programs.

Some years ago, researchers found that teens ranked old people after dogs and cats but ahead of birds in a listing of preferred contacts. Clearly, the task is formidable.

2. Parishes should aggressive.ly seek the isolated elderly.

After a ! spouse dies, an elderly . person often stops eatmg properly. Physical and mental disorganization may be prec::ipitated. A specific ministry to reach the isolated could help avert this.

3. The burden of care for the ~ elderly is carried by families.

Nonetheless, the local church can provide practical assistance.

Apart from visits by priests and , other eucharistic ministers, families often need "respite care."

'Allthe days of my life' I

John J. Castelot

Psalm 23 is one of the most widely known路 and used passages in the Bible. In fact, there seems to be an unwritten路 law; When iIi doubt, use Psalm 23.

Its popularity is deserved. It is a most reassuring prayer of confidence in it God and shepherd who cares tenderly for his sheep.

Still, people must worry occasionally as they. recite the last verse: "Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in. the house of the Lord for years to come."

Will goodness and kindness follow me even if I am old or senile or a bother?

The an~wer depends on the . constancy of those who love me and are kind to me now. How long will I be able to count on them? That depends, in turn, on how seriously they take admonitions of scripture such as the following: "Above all, let your love for one another be constant, for love covers a multitude of sins. . .

The one who serves is to do it with the strength provided by God." (1 Peter 4:8-11) This' passage' is' concerned with relations within the Christian community. It should apply even more within the natural family. A realistic note is struck by the allusion to serving "with

the strength provided by God." It goes without saying that care of a senile relative, no matter how close or dear, is physically and emotionally taxing.

Left to their own resources, people would just give up - or turn loving service into resentf~l and even dama~ing di~ser颅 VIce. Relying on God's strength, however, people can rise above themselves to undreamed of heights of truly heroic love and grow tremendously as persons in the process. When this happens, the dependent oldster realizes that he or she is truly dwelling "in the house of the Lord for years to come." God's Turn to Page Thirteen

Her mother has been a semiinvalid for 22 years, ever since Maria became a mother herself.

For years Maria cared for both households.

Senility

By Dorothy Leader

Senility is a loss of mental faculties associated with old age. Though senility is not common, .it can create tremendous heartache for others in the family..

Senility may be temporary or permanent. Sometimes 'a person who has been in seclusion seems senile; but on moving into a family setting or an institution, he or she again becom~~ mentally alert. Permanent senility is caused by irreversible brain disorder.

Senility has various symptoms; suspicion, irritability, aggressiveness, compulsive :behavior, confusion and an' obvious loss of memory and judgment. Such behavior creates many problems for families or spouses, who often lU'e torn by anger, grief and guilt.

Not surprisingly, the children of the senile frequently' considet . the parent's cbndition ,a reflection on themselves. A child or a son - or daughter-in-Iaw'may resent investing time and money in the older person's care. Family tranquility is often shattered.

Sometimes a husband and wife are alienated.

The senile person's marriage can also suffer because of sen路 ility. Frustration oftep. brings estrangement, sometimes violence.

In many cases, mediCation can improve an intolerable situation.

Various tranquilizers are used to reduce combativeness and other undesirable behavior. However, some persons do not respond to medication and must be institutionalized. (It should be noted that drug tolerance decreases with age so physicians should review medications regularly to make sure that side effects are not increasing problems.

In caring for the senile, safety precautions are as necessary as for children, especially if there are. poisons, fjrearms or open stairs in the re~idence, or a possibility the p~rson. will wander away.' When family members are at work, the senile \ Turn to Page Thirteen

Does life make sense?

By Antoinette Bosco You have to sit with a mother whose 17-year-old son left her a suicide note to know the depths of human pain.

This happened to a mother I know. Her son had never given her trouble, did well in school and was liked by ~is friends and teachers. Nonetheless one day she picked up a note from him saying: "Dear Mom, By the time you read this I shall be dead."

Fortunately he was found before hurting 'himself and his mother got professional help for him immediately. But his ex· planation for wanting to take such a drastic step was a mindblower. " 'He said that for months he struggled to find a reasonable explanation for why he was living, little by little, he sank deeper into terror because he couldn't come up with an answer.

Life was a game of doing time from birth to death, he said, and it did not make sense to play the game out. He felt suicidewas a better answer once you can no longer make sense out . of y.our life.

This reminded me of a recent conversation with a college student. She suffered from a poor self-image, failure in school and a broken love affair.

She too had concluded, "You're born; you live; you have children; you die; then your children have children and they Yet, unless one forgives one die _ 'it's an endless, senseless cuts oneself off from love and mercy.

tv, mOVIe news Symbols following film reviews indicate both general and Catholic Film Office ratings, which do not always coincide.

General ratings: G-sultable for gen· eral viewing; PG--parental guidance sug· gest~; R-restricted, unsuitable for children or younger teens.

Catholic ratings: Al-approved for children and adults; A2-approved for adults and adolescents; A3-approved for adults only; B-objectionable in part for everyone; A4--separate classification (given to films not morally offensive Which, however, require some analysis and explanation!: C-condemned.

New Films "It's My Tum" (Columbia): After meeting Michael Douglas, a former baseball star with-marital problems, J.ill Clayburgh dumps Charles Grodin, with whom she had been living. This is an attempt at brisk contemporary comedy but the scrJpt is ponderous and the principals lack spark.. The adult nature of the plot and the sometimes offensive language call for Rand A3 classifications.

"Melvin and Howard" (Universal): A supreme American loser and a supreme American winner forge a bond of mutual respect in this touching comedy about a gas station attendant who discovers he ds one of Howard Hughes' heirs. Because of incidental nudity and some profane and vulgar language, this movie has be~n classif,iep PG, A3.

"Oh Go4! Book fi" (Warners): George ,Burns as back as the Almighty, teaming up with an 11year-old actress named Louanne, who plays a schoolgirl whom he persuades to launch an ad campaign promoting him. Entertaining if only mildly funny fare.

Though there is less of the secular humanism of the ol1ig,inal, the concept of George Burns as God together with a bit of mild vulgarity cause this film to be rated PG, A2.

"One-Trick Pony" (Warners): Singer and ~omposer Paul Simon is a band leader wi,th both his marriage and group breaking up.

This ambItious film as critical of the music business' effort to manufacture hit records, but the characters seem disconnected from 'the action. Because of several sexual scenes, nudity and gros~ language, the film is rated R, B. "Private Benjamin" (Warners): When her husband dies on their wedding nright,ithe distraught bride (Goldie Hawn) is talked into finding a career in the New Army.

Snatchers" (1979): This I'emake of the 50s hit about aliens from outer space takiing over the bodies of earthlings is mediocre, ;its basic failure ,being an inability to turn the banal pod people into villains WOl1th rooting against. There are some graphic ,instances of blood and gore and nudity. B, R Wednesday, Oct. 29, 9 p.m.

"The Omen" 1976: (NBC) Gregory Peck finds himself the foster father of the anti-ehrist.

The only interest shown dn I'eli· gion In this violent and distasteful film is in ,terms of Its exploitation potential. A slick, essentially trashy horror show. B, oR Thursday, Oct. 3,9 p.m. (NBC) - "Damien Omen fi" (1978): William Holden' and Lee Grant play the unlucky foster parents of a teen-age anti-ehrist in this uninspired sequel to the mediocre original. A beautifully pho'tographed, yawningly predictable exercise dn celluloid terror, the film makes dubious use of Scripture and this, together with -its. occasional descent to gory v.iolence, makes an objectionable ratJng necessary. B, R .

On TV "Father Damien: The Leper Priest" 9 to 11 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, NBC is the story of the saintly Damie'n de Veuster, the Bel-, gian priest who dedicated' his life to the lepers of Molokai 100 years ago. It is well-intentioned but banal and simplistic in its approach to a complex subject.

Historically inaccurate, it conveys almost nothing of the terrible conditions under which the real Damien lived; and precious time is taken up with a ridiculous subplot about an interracial love affair. The heroism of Damien's deci$ion to stay In Molokai permanently is portrayed so melodramatically as to be offensive.

Nevertheless, it is' probably better to have a plasticized saint on prime time than none at all; and it may be that this program will prompt a few young people to investigate the historical Damien - and his community, the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts, whose Eastern U.S. provincial house is in Fairhaven.

"Confluence," 8 a.m. each Sunday, repeated at 6:30 a.m. each Tuesday on Charmel 6, is a panel program moderated by Truman Taylor and having as permanent participants Father Peter N. Graziano, diocesan director of social services; Rev. Dr. Paul Gillespie, of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches; and Rabbi Baruch Korff. This week's program will deal with the churches and the energy crisis.

Visit unlikely SAN JOSE,' Costa Rica (NC)Indications by the foreign minister of El Salvador that Pope John Paul II is contemplating a visit to Central America were dismissed by Archbishop Roman Arrieta of Sari Jose, who said the violence prevailing in the area would prevent such a trip.
