Christian families, called to buck mo,dern, culture VATIcAN CITY(NC) - With a firm "yes" to the indissolubility ot marriage and to present church teaching on artificial birth control, Pope John Paul II closed the 1980 world Synod of Bishops.

He said divorced and remarried Catholics should "not be considered separate from the church" but cannot be admitted to the Eucharist unless they "take on themselves the duty. to live in complete continence, that is, by abstinence from acts in which only married couples can engage." , . The pope said all of ,the discussions at the synod turned on "two hinges ... namely, fidelity toward the plan of God for the family and a pastoral way of acting."

In discussing the status of women, Pope John Paul quoted from a section of the synod propositions which urged that "women not be forced to engage in external work ... so that the family might be able to live rightly, that the mother might devote .herself fully to the family." ' , Those in mixed mljrriages can. not simply "accommodate themselves in a passive and easy

manner to existing conditions but must try so that, with patience and good will, they might find a common willingness to be faithful to the duties of Christian marriage," the pope said.

He also praised the synod's efforts to achieve "a deeper awareness and consciousness either of the riches which are found in various forms in people's cultures, of the benefits which eV,ery culture brings with it."

Christian families must sometimes "choose a way of life that goes contrllry to modern culture in such matters as sexuality, 'individual autonomy and maternal wealth," participants in the synod said in their closing message.

The eight-page "Message to Christian Families in the Modem World," read at the closing synod ceremony Oct. 25 in the Sistine Chapel, touched on most -of the issues raised 'during the month-long meeting.

But the bishops said they did not intend "to give answers to all the complex ,questions in' our day about marriage and ~he family."

"We only want to share with you the love, confidence and hope

which we feel," they added.

The message strongly reaffimed the indissolubility Of marriage and the 1968 encyclical, "Humanae Vitae," which states that sexual relations "must be fully human, total, exclusive and open to new life."

But the bishops also expressed compassion toward those who fail to adhere to the church's ideal.

"In no way do we ignore the very difficult and trying situatioI;l of the many Christian couples who, although they sincerely want to observe the moral norms taught by the church, find themselves unequal to the task because of weakness in the face of difficulties," the message said.

Quoting from a 1970 address by ~ope 'PaUl VI, it added, "The journey of married' couples, like the whole journey o( human life, meets with delays and difficult and burdensome times . . . But this is the moment in which the Christian, rather than giving way to sterile and destructive panic, humbly opens up his soul before God as a sinner before the saving love of Christ."

Candidates respond to NC News questionnaires

By JIm Lackey WASHFNGTON ('Ne) - President Carter and Republican presidenti"al 'nominee Ronald Reagan have responded to National Catholic News Service questionnaires - regarding their stance on various -issues. Some of ,their statements follow:

PRESIDENT CARTER President Carter has reiterated his opposition ,to tuition tax creddts, saYing a better way to aid non-public school students is .through targeted federal programs.

'11 believe :it is far more equi,table and efficient -to aid private school children who have special needs through existing federal programs - rather than' resorting to tuition tllJ( creddts or vouchers, which distribute, aid without regard to need," said Carter.

In his responses, Carter also: . -Defended the right of organized religion to speak out on ,issues such as abortion, but said he was concerned about highlyfinanced and organized attempts by reHgious groups to shape the outcome of an election:

-Said he did not agree with objections by :the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights to the use of the pope in televised campaign commercials; -Repeated his personal OPPOsiNon to abor.tion and his, view that it would not be advisable to enact a constitutional amendment that would prohibit abortions, and ""","Said the United States will continue supporting the current civilian-miltitary junta 'in El Salvador as long as it continues to try to reduce violence between Turn to Page Four

Celibacy norms :come fr01m Vatican'

By NC News Service , The Vatican Congregation' for the 'Doctrine of the Faith has told, bishops and superiors of religious orders of priests that a dispensation from' celibacy is not to be considered a right belonging to all priests.

The statement came in a letter dated Oct. 14 and signed by Cardinal Franjo Seper, prefect

of the congregation, and Archbishop Jerome Hamer, its ,secretary. The letter accompanied a new set of eight procedural norms, or rules, for handling cases in which a priest asks to be dispensed from celibacy and to live as a layman.

Such cases are processed first, by a diocesan bishop or religious Turn to Page Eighteen

Galileo' ,restudied VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican is restudying the church's 17th-century condemnation of Galileo, Archbishop Paul Poupard, pro-president of the Vatican's Secretariat for NonBelievers, told the world Synod of Bishops.

Archbishop Poupard, reporting on the work of his secretariat, said that "according to the wishes of the pope, research was begun on the case of Galileo, to consider this fact with complete objectivity."

Last year Pope John Paul II at a meeting with the Pontifical Academy of Sciences called for a ,restudy of the Galileo condemnation.

Galileo, a' scientist and astronomer, was condemned because of his teachings that the earth revolved around the sun.

About Glenmary

Missions Glenmary is a Sqciety of men who have dedicated their lives to work in Appalachia and the Deep South in order to spread the Good News of Jesus, which includes helping the poor and fostering social justice.

Glenmary offers the challenge and the blessings of a different way of life ~ a way to live, work, love and laugh in a celibate community dedicated to serve rural people. -The hours are 'long - the pay is merely a personal allowance - the commitment is lifetime - and the goal is meaningful.

Presently Glenmary has approximately 100 fully' professed priests and Brothers and 35 men in various levels of preparation.

Most members are assigned to 40 mission bases in 12 states in Appalachia and the Deep South.

There is a back-up research office in Washington, D.C., and a special religious education staff in Nashville, Tennessee.

-Several Glenmarians are roving specialists in Appalachia and the Deep South and there are also three building crews which construct mission facilities and new housing .for needy' people.

A Prayerful Call Once again, The Anchor heeds the call to proclaim the Gospel message, to announce the Good News, to tell all that the harvest is ripe and to pray the harvest master to send harvesters into the field. Once again, we remind our readers that vocation is an integral part of' the mission of every baptized Catholic.

So very often in our narrow-visioned concept of church we forget that one of the reasons why the church faces a so-called vocation crisis is because so many who have been incorporated into the Lord Jesus have forgotten or igtlored the fundamental fact that vocations are everyone's business. _ In )ife circumstances,dominated by the truly pagan majority, many have forgotten that they have been sent by the Lord to see to it-that the wheat does not rot in the field or the grape decayort the vine, but that the harvest be brought to the Lord.

However, it is more than encouraging, especially in this diocese, to see that once again interest in the sacrament of Orders is being manifested. The fact that many are taking a positive interest in the priesthood and diaconate is clearly a sign of hope for the local church.

,

One factor that has influenced this renewed interest in the Lord's service is the awakening of the Catholic community to the life of the Spirit. During the past few years a new and vital prayer life has been developing in many areas of church life. Each day more and more Catholics are becoming actively engaged in various approved . and encouraged prayer forms.

In such movements as the Charismatic renewal, the Cursillo and Marriage and Engaged Encounters, people are beginning to see in an active and positive way that being a Catholic means more than just being baptized.

These prayer foims together with more traditional avenues of personal piety are now beginning to form a people whose dedication to the Lord is more active than vocal, whose faith activities are more enthusiastic than passive and whose witness is more open' than hidden.

In other words, there is a substantial and growing area of Church life whose members feel that they must fulfill the Gospel mandate by apostolic and public witness to the truths of revelation.

To ,be sure, there are skeptics whose unwarranted doubt and fearful concern would cast a pall of gloom over such a renewal while at the same time there are others whose enthusiasm would tum the church into a traveling road show. In between these obvious extremes there now exists a faithful committed to the work, life and love of the church.

In this area, in these reaches of prayer life, will today's world find a spiritual solution to pagan fantasies and bring forth men and women willing and able, to undertake the work of Jesus..

It is in this renewed prayer life of the church that the seeds of vocation will be nurtured, fostered and developed.

Thus it is "imperative that all, especially those in leadership role$ in church life, encourage and guide renewed prayer forms, that they...may be the vital and spirit-filled hope for the future life of the church.

ORI51i~s .

WHO ARE TIlESE SISTERS? They are the Dominican Sisters, Congregation of 81. Rose of Lima, otherwise known as the Servants of Relief for. Incurable Cancer. Their foundress was a convert, -,Rose Haw,thorne Lathrop, charming and talented daughter of Nathaniel Hawthorne. She deserted tJ;1e social and literary circles of New York City 'to live in 'the slums of the Lower .East Side, searching among the poor for those who were so greatly dn need of compassionate care, so deplorably neglected and avoided.

Today the' Hawthorne Dominicans staff seven homes for terminal cancer patients, dncluding the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop Home in FallR!iver.

'GOD and

PEOPLE The Quest "Jesus comes to liS as One unknown, without a DIlUIIe,as of old; by the lakeside. He came to those· men: who knew him oot. He.. speaks to Us the. same word: 'Follow 1hou me!' and sets us to the tasks which he bas to fulfill in our time.

WHAT WORK DO TIlEY DO? They care for Christ's poor of all races, creeds and colors, who are afflicted with 1ncurable cancer. They do the nursing and all' other duties connected with the care of. the Patients, remember-' ing always that ."Whatsoever you do to one of these, My least brethren,. you do 11nto Me." It is a rich and rewarding life.

Many of those bear.ing the double cros~ of sickness and poverty have no one to tum to, no one to mourn· at the .last, except these Sisters. .

WHEN DID THEY STARn In 1896, after a three months . pratical 'nursing course at the New York Cance'l' Hospital, Mrs. ,Lathrop moved dnto: three small roo~s at No. 1 Scammel St., a seething tenement district. .The same day' she visited her fiirst patient, a young Jewish boy. He was the beginning of a long line of sufferers who knew the tenderness of her care and the warmth of her smile. . ,From there she movE~.d to Water St. where she was 'joined

by Alice Huber. Encouraged by a Dominican priest who was ;impressed with their work, they became Dominican tertiaries, receiving the· habit and taking their f.irst vows on December 8, 1900. Mrs. Lathrop became Sister Mary Alphonsa and Miss' Huber, Sister Mary Rose.

With the d·iploma of affiliatioll to the Dominican Order, received from Rome in' 1906, the Reverend -Hyacinth M. Cormier, O.P., Master General wrote, !'You have Jesus in your midst in two ways, Jesus in the Sacra" ment ip your Chapel, and c;overed with wounds dn the halls of the 'sick."

HOW DO I JOIN? Besides the general qualifications of good health - physical and mental - average intelligence and good character, the candidate must have an earnest desire ,to work for personal _ sanctification an~ a sincere purpose to devote all the faculties of soul and- body to God ,in the service of His afflicted poor.

Further information .is available from the Rose Hawthorne Lathrop. Home, 1600 Bay St., Fall River 02724 or from the Vocation Director, Motherhouse, Rosary Hill Home, Hawthorne, N.Y. 10532.

Capuchin Franciscans Capuchin Franciscans are men - priests and brothers l- who follow ,the "poor Christ" as their father, St. Francis of Ass'{si, did.

Inspired by the 'good news of the Gospel, they tirst -seek ,to encounter Jesus Christ ·ina personal 'l'elationship through a life of prayer and then to shiue his love with all, people.

I They· share the good news of Jseus in many ways. Their min,istries may vary from meetingneeds in a local parish or school, in their own friaries or in hospitals and college campuses, to reaching out to God's p~ple on every continent as missionaries.

Capuchins in the Province of St. Mary (New York· an~ New England) begin thei'l' training as friars ,in a one-year n6v.itiate program. 'For brothers there is an integrated four year program of academic and techndcal courses. <::andidates f~rI the • • priesthood continue· in anacademic and pastoral program in the study of theology leading to ordinat'ion.

Today there are more than 12,000 Cap u chi n Franciscans throughout the world with about 1,000 in the United States.

Living in closely knit Christian communities and vowing to live povelty, chastity and obedience, they strive to bring a .Ch~ist-like witness to a world starving for the Word of God. Further information is, avail- , able from the Capuchin; Voca;l)ion Office, St. Lawrence Friary.

Felician roots in Poland: This month, the Congregation

o{Feli~ian Sisters celebrates the

125th anniversary of its founding. The congregation came into being. unobtrusively in Warsaw on November 21, 1855. Its foundress, Sophia Truszkowska, later .known as Mother Mary Angela, took pity on the plight of orphaned .and neglected Polish children.

Soon she was joined by nine companions who consecrated themselves to the Blessed Virgin.

Directed by a Capuchin priest, these women pledged themselves toa life of prayer and works of mercy and became the nucleus of the Feliciim congregation.

The Sisters were called "Sisters of St. Felix" or simply Felician Sisters because of their frequent visits with the children to the shrine of St. Felix of Cantalice. Recognizing the hand Of God in this, the sisters adopted the name officially. .

In 1874, five Felician sisters came to America, invite~ by . Rev. Joseph Dabrowski, a pioneer missionary among immigrant Poles, to Polonia, Wisconsin.

There th~y opened a school and an orphanage. Further requests for teaching sisters resulted in the extension of apostolates to other sections of the United States.

The sisters are now active in seven U.S. provinces, in Michigan, New York, lllinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Mexico. In Fall

River, part of the Connecticut province, they staff St. 'Stanislaus School.

In addition, the Congregation has three provinces in ,Poland . and vice provinces in ·Canada and Brazil. Its Generalate is iri ;Rome. ' . From the outset, the Felician sisters have emphasized educat~on, from elementary school through college, and the' worth and dignity of tl;1e individual.

Today over 3,000 Felician sisters serve the church' in the fields of. education, evangelization, health care and sodal service in the spirit of Mother Mary Angela: "I wish that I' could multiply myself a thousand times and live God's love."

The process for the beatification of Mother Mary Arlgela is in process and her charism is a precious legacy to the congregation.

Like all followers of St. Francis, the Felicians hold as. their ideals simplicity, poverty of heart and lifestyle, and a joyful hospitable spirit. Prayer and penance are also elements of Feli(lian-Franciscan spirituality. .

The spirit of the congregation is one of love of God and neighbor, of loving reparation'to the Eucharistic Christ' through the Immaculate Heart of·, Mary.

Members are stren~thened to live this spirit through the' source of love, Jesus, daily exposed in the Blessed Sacrament in all provincial houses.

Women's communiti«(s give varied opportunities Uke a rich treasurehouse from which each can draw a unique jewel, seiected accor~ng to her own needs and desires, is the wide aI'J"ay :of reli~ious congregations for women. No matter what a young woman;s. talents, ,there is a community to fit her.

Among them are the Sisters of the Holy·Cross and the Seven Dolors. Founded ,in France in 1841 by Very Rev. Basil Antoine Moreau, also founder of the Holy Cross Fathers, they have been in the Fall River diocese since 1886. They serve in New Bedford, Westport, Attleboro and South Attleboro and ,th~ir assignments include teaching and supervising in both public and CathoIoic schools, rectory housekeeping, counseHng and serving in hospital pastoral ministry.

In other dioceses and abroad Holy Cross Sisters are also engaged in nursing, social work and government servJce such as the Peace Corps. In ·fact, said one sister, there is no special skiill a young woman might possess which she could not put to good use as a Holy Cross community member.

In 1737 Mother Marguerite d'Youville founded the Society of Sisters of Charity, better known as the Grey Nuns. Vowed to the care of the elderly, sick, crippled, orphans and other needy, it flourished and in time gave birth to daughter communities.

One of these is the Sisters of Charity of Quebec, founded in 1849 in Quebec by Marie-Anne Marcelle Mallet. Members are active in Canada, the United.'

States, South America and Japan. In the Fall River diocese they staff Mt. St. Joseph School, Fall River, and Sacred Heart Home for the elderly in New Bedford.

Their goal, as stated in their constitutions, is to "manifest to the world the universal love of the Fa~er and his infinite mercy for the entire human family." .

-Also serving "by healing ministry to the sick and the dying, by the loving: care of the yourig and the eldedy, by listening and counseling the lonely and the afflicted and by defending the helpless and the oppressed" are . the Sisters of Charity of St. Hyacinthe, founded in 1840 in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, by MarieMichel Archange Thuot.

Working in the diocese of Manchester, Portland, Maine and Providence, as well as in Haiti, they serve in hospitals, homes for the aged and day care centers.

For 75 years the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation have served the diocese of Fall River, at first at St. Anne's Hospital in the see city and more recently-in administration of two homes for the aged, Marian Man9r in Taunton and Madonna Manor in North Attleboro. Members of the community also are responsible "for catechetical ministry in St. Mary's parisJt, South Dartmouth, and St. Peter's, Dighton,

as well as for work in the diocesan apostolate to the deaf.

In addition to their work in the Fall River diocese,. members of the U.S. province of the community, which is headquartered in Dighton, staff clinics for migrant workers in the Brownsville~· Texas diocese' as· well as health care and apostolic programs for Hispanics. They also since 1971 'have operated varied health and mission programs in llndi!a, where this community now has three houses, a novitiate and 21 sisters, 18 of them Indians. .

Since 1910 Franciscan Missionaries of Mary have taught at Espirito Santo School, Fall River, as well as providing catechetical instruction at several area parishes and staffing St. Francis Guild for working women and college students.

Worldwide, the community's activities include work with .lepers in missionary lands, service with American Indians and the staffing of child care institutions and hospitals. One hundred and three years old, the congregation numbers over 9000 . members with 45 provinces in 65 countries. .

Eagerness for education in the United States of the 1840's went hand in hand with the pioneers' ambitions for land. To supply this need Bishop de la Hailandiere of Vincennes appealed to France for aid. Mother Theodore Guerin responded by founding the Congregation of the Sisters of Providence and St. Mary-ofthe-Woods College, Ind., both of • which marked their 140th anniversary last month.

Mother Theodore Guerin, a born educator, had been "recognized by the French government for her success as a teacher. That success continued in the new land as she formulated programs of instruction and trained teachers.

In adition to the customary three R's of the contemporary schools, Mother Theodore announced in the Terre Haute paper of 1841 the following curriculum: geography, ancient and modern history, English composition and rhetoric, natural philosophy, chemistry, botany

was pioneer and astronomy, mythology and biography, plain and fancy needle work and embroidery, bead work, tapestry and lace work, French, music vocal and instrumental, drawing, water color painting, oil painting on linen and on velvet, oriental painting, artificial flower work.

Instruction in Latin, German and Italian was avaHable on request.

The many goals envisioned by Theodore as she caught the spirit of ;the century's progre~s, ". hl;lve remaiJ1ed the goals of her· congregation and her college.

With over 1100 members, the Sisters of Providence have five U.S. provinces. St. Raphael Province, headquartered dn Fall River, has responsibility for 16 schools and a CCD center. It is represented in the archdiocese of· Baltimore, Boston and Washington and in the dioceses of Fall River, Manchester and Charlotte. Its superior is Sister Francis Michael Driscoll, in residence in Fall. River.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall, River-Thur. Oct. 30, 1980

Sisters of St. ,Joan of Arc Rev. Marie..clement Staub, AA, founded the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joan of Arc in 1914, as an answer to a special 'need in the Church. Through his ministry as preacher, he often had the occasion to verify the need of help in various' rectories and thus considered how much religious nuns couid assist priests.

Presently the, congregation serves in 44' residences,' 27 in Canada and 17 in the United States. In the Fall River diocese sIsters are at the bishop's residence and St. Mary's Cathedral rectory.

The special goal of the congregation is that of collaborating with the priestly apostolate. Sisters' are housekeepers in rectories, houses for religious communities and episcopal residences as well as· secretaries and sacristans. They offer their prayers and work for priests throughout the world.

The ideals of the Sister of St. Joan include: - a desire for total consecration to the Lord; - a hunger for prayer; - a great love for the church and its priests; .

- the will to live these ideals in community.

The service of the Sisters was described well in a message from Cardinal Villeneuve at the silver jubilee of the congregation's founding: "Your founder . . . did not conceive that you would

simply be servants, precious and useful though they may be, but that' you would above all else be souls consecrated ,to, God. Your Father wishes you to be less in the service of the priests than in the service of the priesthood and that your functions, material though they be, are saintly functions, because they are always performed in view of the sacred character of the priest.
