to keep 6 holy days

WASHINGTON (NC) Ameri­ can Catholics will continue to have six holy days of o~ligation, the U.S. bishops decided at their annual meeting, which closed yesterday in Washington.

Of all the issues discussed at the meeting, that of the number of holy days will have the most direct impact on Catholic life.

The decision, arrived at on Wed­ nesday by written ballot, means that Catholics will continue to have a Mass obligation on Christ­ mas, Dec.- 25; Immaculate Con­ ception, Dec. 8; AU Saints Day, Nov. 1; Ascension Thursday (the sixth Thursday after Easter); the feast of Mary Mother of God,

Jan. 1; and the Assumption, Aug. 15.

In other action during the four· day meeting "dialogue" emerged as a key term.

In statements, actions and press conferences the bishops discussed and emphasized the im­ portance of dialogue with the Vatican, with Religious, with women, with Hispanics and with each other.

The bishops also elected a new president and vice president, Bishop James W. Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, and Arch­ bishop John L. May of St. Louis, respectively. The president-elect, at a news' conference, again

stressed the need for dialogue and communication so that the bishops can better articulate church teachings, make the Gospel relevant to me and pro­ mote the bishops' pastoral teach­ ing on war and peace.

The bishops' official five-year visits to the Vatican and com· munication with Rome - in part· to correct misunderstandings of the U.S. church - grabbed im­ mediate attention as the annual meeting opened!.

IJSCC endorses ERA add I WASHINGTON (NC) A controversial propo$al to add a new anti-abortion sentence to .the Equa'l Rights Amendment has. been endorsed by the· u.s.

Catholic Conference, public policy arm of the U.S. bishops.

Msgr. Hoye, usee general secretary, urged members of Congress in a Nov. 8 'letter to support the additional sentence, which reads, "Nothing in (the.

ERA) shall ,be construed to grant or secure ~ny right relating to abortion or the funding thereof."

The letter, however, came after a House subcommittee Nov. 7 rejected on a 4-2 vote the addi­ tion of the new' sentence on abortion, sponsored by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R­ Wis.)., "The Sensenbrenner amend­ ment," said Msgr. Hoye in his brief 'letter, "underlines what, is already apparent to many sup· porters of women's rights ­ namely that the equality - of women had nothing to do with abortion."

The bishops as a body have taken no positio~ on the ERA itself, although approximately two dozen bishops have endorsed the amendment on their own.

Father Edward M. Bryce, di­ rectpr of the bishops' Office for Pro-Life Activities, said USCC

support for the Sens~nbrennel~ amendment did not mean that the bishops would oppose thE! ERA if the new senterlce is not 'added.

I "The legislative inte~t of the Equal Rights Amendment may be clarified by debat~ on the House floor and other Ifactors," he said in a statement, :"and the bishops' conference y,rill have to observe this process before de· termining whether (its Jposition) will change;" j, He added, "In the meantime, confusion regarding thb ERA's impact on abortion 'warr~nts sup­ port for the clarifying language , proposed by Congress~an Sen­ senbrenner." . ,I The .bishops' decision not to take a' stand Oli the ERA was made in '1978 after theirlAd Hoc Committee on Women in! Church and Socie~y sought to lissue a statement backing the P,f0posed amendment to the Constitution.

The statement was blohked by the bishops' 48·member Adminis. trative Committee, which ex· YOUNGSTERS LIKE THESE .El Salvador refugees pressed uncertainty ab6ut th~ impact of the ERA on ':"family benefit from the ,annual diocesan collection of clothing for life, the abortion issue,a~d other , Cathol~c Relief Services. . matters." , i The key sentence of the ERA reads: "Equality of right~ under the 'law shall not ,be dehied or abridged on account of s~x."

Cape women make clowns for God For centuries the clown has been a symbol of hope; but for Kaye Bourbeau of St. Francis Xavier parish in Hyannis the tragic comic figures are more \ than symbolic.

Since 'last summer she and her friends, all members of St. Fran­ cis Xavier's prayer group, have turned out well over 100 bright­ ly-eolored 18-inch clown figures.

Sold in an area beauty shop and to fenow prayer group members for use as home ornaments, they have brought their creators a tidy profit, all of which has gone to Father Bruce Ritter's Coven· ant House.

"The clowns are bringing real hope to homeless and runaway children," says Ms. Bourbeau, who explains 'that Covenant Houses in New York, Houston, Fort Lauderdale and Guatemala care for "runaways, throwaways and street kids from every walk of life." \

Bedding and blankets deliver­ ed to hospitals and orphanages around the world helped replen­ ish depleted supplies. In addi­ tion, emergency shipments of clothing and blankets were pro­ vided to families in Poland, to refugees in Central America and Rwanda, "and to the victims of floods and earthquakes in Col· uf!lbia, Ecuador and Peru.

Some bolt goods were used ,by vocational sewing and handi­ crafts programs sponsored by CRS.

By NC News Mother Pascalina, 89, stlbject of the book, "La Popessa," died Nov. 13 in a hospital in Vienna, .

Austria.

A member of the Sisters of the Holy Cross of Menzinyen, she, was the superior of the, nuns who tended to the needs of Pope Pius XII during his 19-year pon­ tificate. She was called "La Po· pessa," in light of the alleged influence she held over the pope.

Mother Pascal.ina collapsed Nov. 10 on an airliner preparing to fly to Italy from Vienna. She was taken to a hospital with a cerebral hemorrhage. She had been in Vienna for ceremonies for the 25th anniversary of the death of Pope Pius XII. The Bavarian-born nun ,began to work with Pope Pius XII when he was a monsignor in Munich, West Germany. Shortly after he became papal secretary of state, she moved ·to Rome and contin­ ued in his service when he was elected pope in 1958.

Recently, in Germany, she reo leased her own memoirs of these years: "I Had the Privilege to Serve Him." Following the death of Pope Pius XII, Mother Pascalina left the Vatican. The publication of "La Popessa" brought her much attention, in light of her pur· ported observations on the ponti· ficate of Pius XII and of her candid comments on such fig­ ures as Pope John XXIII, Pope Paul VI, Cardi,nal Francis Spell­ man and Bishop Fulton Sheen.

I

When the Catholic bishops of the United States'~stab­

lished the Campaign for Human Development in 1970,1 they

began a new· and far-reaching program for eradicating the

I

root causes of poverty and injustice in America.

It would be well- this weekend if all members of the

Catholic community would recall that the social conterns

of their bishops are an integral part of church traditionl The

Old Testament psalms extol justice and pray that it\ will

flourish. The Gospel tells of Jesus helping people in \their

daily needs and sharply rebuking those who would turn

away from facing the reality of those needs. \

Since biblical times, Catholic theology has recog~ized

that freedom and personal responsibility, two condi~ions

diminished by poverty, are vital to the very fibre of Cpris­

. tian growth and development. It is clear that the chprch I has' a social ministry realized in part tlirough the efforts \ of the Campaign for Human Development.'

The defeat of poverty and oppression in our land is a dream shared by millions of Americans not of our f~ith. , The rural black who cannot afford adequate health carel the urbav elderly trapped in freezing apartments, the mi~ant workers who lack decent housing, the American Indians living marginal lives are but a few of th~ many to whotn it really matters that someone else sincerely cares. \ I There are some who would have the church concerned

only with the spiritual needs or' people. For them a pro­

gram like CHD seems at the very least to be out of place.

Indeed, there are those who feel that all CHD does is to

s~ir up a can of" worms that would be best laid to rest.l Such uneasiness in the presence of the social ju~tice issues of our times fundamentally reflects an incomplete understanding of the meaning of the church and Iher mission. The Second Vatican Council cited as one of the inore serious errors of today "this split between the faith which many profess and their daily lives." \ ~ We know from our own history as a church in this land that many c'onditions of poverty an~d powerlessrtess are caused not so much by personal choice or'by the irtdo­ lence of individuals as by unjust policies and impdsed social structures. _ _ Many who themselves benefit from the bounty of this nation conveniently forget that economic systems and plpli­ tical arrangements within our social order very often deter­ mine who will and who will not share the national wealth.

I The need to free many of our citizens from the hellish bonds of poverty and injustice is with us in a very spe~ial way this year. Many are unemployed and as' the res.uItI of efforts to achieve the admittedly necessary• goal of a lialI anced budget, numerous programs reaching out to the needy have been terminated. At the same time, unprete­ dented immigration has added to the numbers of th6se suffering unacceptable poverty. , Because of all this we as church must continue to be aware' of our responsibilities in the soc!al order. One ~ay of manifesting our concern is to support this year's C$­ paign for Human Development. Thus we can outwar4ly affirm our commitment to the teachings of Jesus and to the efforts of the church to make them realities in the life\of each and every man, woman and child in these United States who is the innocent victim of poverty and injustibe. , , I

'The work· of our hands do thou direct.' Ps. 89:17

JFI{ 20 :years .later

By Jim Lackey NC News

(NC).

WASHINGTON Twenty years aftel'the assassina­ tion of John F. Kennedy, his election is stiU-regarded as a momentous event in the history of American Catholicism.

Though he is still the only Catholic to have served.in the highest office in the land, his eIection and performance in that 'office diminished but did not erase the anti-Catholicism of his day. According to at least· one plJlbIic opinion survey, it led to a, greater acceptance of Cath­ olEcs in -political life.

Another survey, though, found th;it there still may be significant re:;istance among Americans to another Catholic president.

Kennedy's election was a "symbolic liberation" for U.S. Catholics, says Msgr. Francis J. Lally, a -Boston priest who knew Kennedy and who has worked since 1975 as social development anl1 world peace directoc of the U.S. Catholic Conference in Wllshington.

Msgr. Lally, who was editor of Thl~ Pilot, Boston archdiocesan newspaper, when Kennedy was senator and president, said Ken­ nedy was conscious of the contri­ bution he was making to the in­ volvement of Catholics in the po­ litic:al process. His election and his service as president erases forever the idea that Catholics could not aspire to high U.S. government positions, the priest added.

Expressing a similar view was Msgr. John Tracy Ellis of the Catholic University of America, who is considered the foremost U.S. church historian.Kennedy's election marked a "velry real turning of the Ameri-

can mind,": said Msgr. Ellis. 535 seats were occupied !Jy "People saw that the republic Catholics, a new record.

But two surveys of public had not been impaired by Ken­ nedy's presidency. It put minds opinion toward Catholic politi­ more at ease." cians have shown apparently conflicting views. .

As a result, when Sens. Rob­ The Gallup Poll, for one, has ert" Kennedy and (D-N.Y.) Eu­ , gene McCarthy (D-Minn.) sought found increasing acceptance of the Democratic nomination in Catholic officeholders since 1960.

1968, there was "anything but Asked if they would be willing an outcry" about their religion, to vote for a well-qualified can­ said Msgr. Ellis. Also, states didate who happened to be Cath­ olic, 71 percent of those sur­ where _one might expect contin­ veyed in 1960 answered in the ued hostility toward Catholic­ ism have since ,been willing to affirmative. That figure jumped elect Catholics to Congress, he to 87 percent by 1965, -according to Gallup, and in a survey this noted, citing Sen. Jeremiah Den­ ton (R-Ala.), elected in 1980, as. year had risen to 92 percent.

Young Family Plan a simple homecoming parade - decorate the wagon, tricycles, etc. Make crepe paper pom~poms; put together a band with kitchen utensils. Assign everyone a part - homecoming king and queen, attendants, band leader, etc.

If one of the family members is absent, a letter, tape or phone conversation could be included in the party.

You might also sit in a circle, campfire style. Share what you like most about coming home ­ after a day's work, after school, after a trip. Give cheers to each member of the family. '

T9uching liturgies

Last Thanksgiving we ex­ perienced a deeply moving liturgy at our local parish.

It was a Mass' ~th music and liturgical symbols honoring Sr. Kateri Tekakwitha, the American Indian saint canonized a few years ago. The magnifi­ cent choir sang to an Indian beat supplied by na'tive instru­ ments and drums. Two young women dressed like Indian mai­ dens led the procession and danced reverent·ly as part of the liturgy.

This was not a Class B West­ ern but a .touching and reverent integration of our liturgical and American heritage. The very large church was packed with worshipers standing in every inch because it was a repeat of the year before. As we say in families,' "one is a tradition," whenever anything ·truly mean­ ingful occurs. So it 1s in the parish family.

As I worshiped, I reflected on the phenomenon of people at Mass that day. It wasn't an obligation Hturgy.

Families could have slept late. They didn't have to go to Mass as they do on New Year's Day. They didn't sneak in late to the last pos~ible Mass and celebrate it 'in a .find of daze as ,they so often d~ at -liturgies on holy days of obligation. ,. They were deeply jnvolved in the liturgy because it meant something to

them.

We need to look at this phe­ nomena closely. It teBs me that when the celebration itself ­ Thanksgiving -in this case ­ ·touches a national nerve, people want a religious observance of it. I witness the same thing every year on Labor Day at the closing liturgy of our annual f~mily retreat. Because Labor Day signifies the end of summer, the beginning of a school year and a national day honoring work and leisure, famBies sense a deep meaning in. the liturgy.

No. hymn is sung more - richly than our closing "America, the Beautiful," asking God to shed His grace on us and our country.

Thanksgiving 1s a uniquely American holiday. It reminds us of our heritage, of the great gifts God has bestowed upon us, and of our richness as a nation. Jt is not a holy day of obligation, yet people flock to ~ass. What are they telling us? That it should be celebrated in a 'Htur­ gical manner that brings us to­ gether in faith to praise God and one another.

I don't want Thanksgiving to be turned into a holy day of obligation. That would probably doom it, but parishes that fail to see it as one of the most meaningful religious days of our year are missing an understand­ ing of th'e need for people to integrate religion and important

"I love cliches," I told John.

"The great thing about cliches is that .they're true."

"Of course," John said.

"Cliches are true, so people keep ·repeating them, so they become cliches."

"When I was a kid, and I heard my grandmother say that something was God's will, or it was in God's :hands, or God was watching over me, I thought she was superstitious," I said.

"And then you grew up and realized that your' grandmother was· smart and you were super­ stitious," John said.

"I learned the hard way that the superstitious people believe in man and the smart people be­ lievein God," -I said.

"Me too," John said. "We took a lot of lumps before we wised up."

"But that's God's will, too," I said. "I'm grateful that I learned the hard way. All the misery I PUlt myself through to get to where I am today was worth it," "You mean all the misery God let you put yourself through to get to where I am today was was worth it," John said, cor­ recting me and giving God the credit.

"Absolutely," I said, "That's one more thing to be grateful for." , "Gratitude is the aristocrat of emotions because it pushes all negative thoughts out of the mind," John said. "You can't go wrong if you're grateful to God," John said it all when he said that.

Notre Dame· Cemete.ry, Fall River

Ecumenism in; Catholic cemeteries The following article appeared in the October issue of ''The Catll10lic Cemetery." Its author, Father Ernest E. Biais, is direc­ tor of Nouoe Dame Cemetery ami .Mausoleunn, Fall River, and Sa· 'cretll Heart Cemetery, New Bed­ :ford. He is also coordinator of the Parish Cemetery Committee I!)f the National Catholic Ceme­ Itery Conference.

Today the quest for Christian unity deserves serious consider­ ation by every Christian.

It is a sad fact of history that the Christian church is a divided <:hurch; however, since Pope J'ohn XXIII saw the interest in E!cumenism, a concerted effort toward Christian Unity began to develop. He was deeply inter· ested in this movement and com­ mitted to its growth. in 1959 he called for the Second Vatican Council. He made it clear that one of its principal subjects was tl) be' Christian, Unity and when tile time came, invited other Christian churches to attend the the council.

The council, in turn, issued a Decree of Ecumenism. This docu­ ment urged all Catholics (Catho­ lic cemeteries) to seek Christian unity. We all know, however, tel teU the truth, that progress toward Christian Unity has been slow.

It has been 24 years now and many have become discouraged. , Pope John Paul II's first ency· clical warned against -discour­ agement. He also chided those who were tempted to give up the quest.

First of all, we know that prayer is an absolutely essential condition for Christian unity.

TIlere at:'e occasions ",hen Chris­ tians can come together in a spirit of common prayer at our cemeteries. On Memorial Day, invite ministers of other denom­ inations to pray together before and after Mass. When there isa burial on site or in the cemetery chapel of a non-Catholic and the family expresses the desire for ­ the minister to say the final pr~lyers, the priest-director should be there.

Secondly, we should be, very

charitable .in our conversation about our brothers and sisters in Christ of .other denominations.

You and I, as Catholics should give good and honest examples and should in a more positive way encourage dialogue with members of other Christian com­ munities.

So let us Catholic cemeterians "accentuate. the positive and eliminate the negative." I know we must be very careful, that is, we may encounter serious ques­ tions about what is and what is not theologically aoceptable in interfaith ptactices.

One concerns sharing Euchar­ istic Communion at· our mem­ orial Masses. (Cf. on admitting other Christians to Eucharistic Communion, by the Secretariat for Promotion of Christian Unity, ,June 1,' 1972.) Also the local bishop has the authority to judge partiCular cases. In some dio­ ceses, helpful guidelines for par­ ticular cases. hav.:e been publish· ed.

As I said, we must be very careful. First, I tried to show the Catholic church's feElling on ecumenism in our cemeteries.

Now, with regard to the federal and state laws where your ceme· ,tery is located, I am sure they do not define the word ecumen· ism a.s we do.

In Massachusetts, Catholic cemeteries must bury the bodies of the faithful in 'a cemetery which, in aocordance with the rites prescribed in the liturgical books, has been blessed or con· secrated. (Can. Law 1205 Par. 1) A person who comes to a Catholic cemetery to purchase the right of burial ,must be a practicing Catholic. If a Catholic m'arries a -non-Catholic, he or she may be buried with the spouse- and the definition of Catholic cemeteries is not ,broken. If a non-Catholic gets an easement, you can be in trouble because the 'law can state you are nonsectarian and your tax· exemption oan be taken away.

You must always have a Cath· olic name on the easement. It is wise to ask what parish he or. she comes from and record that in your files. .

I am sure we Catholic cemet· terians have a duty to promote ecumenism. Large or small cemeteries .must have this op­ portunity. As cemeterian,s' of NCCC, we must show and give this beautiful example among ourselves first, so that it will be seen and noticed by brothers and sisters of aU other denomina­ tions.

Thousands of ' Spanish saints?

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John' Paul II has aHowed the beatification causes of several thousand' people killed during the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War to continue, said Cardinal Pietro Pal!1zzini, prefect of the Vatican ...

Congregation for Saints' Causes.

The causes of thousands of Spanish bishops, priests, reli­ gious and lay people were sus­ pended by Pope Paul VI, report­ edly be~ause of procedural diffi­ culties with such a large group.

Most were killed by opponents of the Spanish fascist leader Gen. Francisco Franco. Many of Franco's opponents were Marx­ ists and socialists.

The decision by the pope means that the cases will be studied on an individual basis rather than as a group. The first step will be an examination to make sure the motivation for alleged martyrdom was religious and not sociopolitical.

Freedom seminar UNITED NATIONS (NC) ­ United Nations plans to organ· ize a seminar next year on reli· gious freedom and tolerance.

The pl~n was announced in Gen­ eva, Switzerland, by Kurt Herndl, U.N. assistant secretary general for human rights, during a debate before a U.N; subcom­ mission on human rights. The study of religious iQ'tolerance and discrimiation will ,be based on the 1981 U.N. declaration on the elimination of all 'forms of intoleram:e or discrimillation be­ cause of religion or belief.

ous and not unrelated reserva­ tions.

For all its daring, "The Day After" cleaves to one of the great bedrock principles of prime time: nobody ever prays.

Religion is irrelevant.

Here we have people dying all over the place, families and so­ ciety as a whole faced with un­ imagined tragedy, and there is not even so much as a glimpse of a priest or other minister at­ tending victims.

True, there is a fragment of a' sermon, but this only under­ scores -the implicit bias. For the minister who delivers it is half­ crazed from burns, and, far from offering consolation, he rants on from a text of the Apocalypse, declaring that God has punished those who caused this.

Lest anyone miss the point­ lessness of this, the Dahlbergs get up and leave in the midst of the sermon when their daughter begins to hemorrhage radiation sickness. .

C'

from

Finally, the makers of "The Day After," though they have made some tentative passes at it, have· skirted the question of . moral responsibility. All the adult victims whom we see and empathize Witll are to some greater or lesser extent - de­ pending upon their sophistica­ tion, their education and their degrees of awareness - respon­ sible for what happened.

How, for example, did Oakes or Jim Dahlberg feel about the morality of nuclear confronta­ tion? Had either of them ever done anything -to try to effect a backing away from the abyss?

We don't know because the filmmakers apparently did not think it relevant, an indication that for ,those for whom religion is irrelevant; morality soon follows suit.

War

By Dr. James and Maiy K,enrny

Dear Mary: My son is.to cele­ brate his ,10th birtl1day soon awl is talking about presents he 'Would like. Everything on his lIist involves soldiers, guns and warfare. My husband and I are llensitive to the violence in so­ dety. I don't know where' his nttraction to war figures comes 'I 'rom, and I don't want to en­ c:ourage it. Any suggestions? ­ Iowa An enterprising student could write / a cultural history of our' country based on the changing taste 'in children's toys over the years. War toys were extremely popular during the early 1960s.

Opposition to involvement in Vietnam and sensitivity to vio­ hmce in society grew, and' war toys fell out of favor. As we have moved into the 1980s" war toys are again on the ascend­ ancy.

Often television is blamed.

Like most easy answers, blam­ 'irllg television is inadequate.

While television cannot ex­ plain our interest in war toys, it cElrtainly .capitalizes on this in­ terest by promoting war in stories and cartoons and by sell­ inr, war toys through commer­ daIs. Dealing with this requires effort on, the part of parents.

Forbidding television or con­ dE,mning the child's choice of programs often makes the for­ bidden item more attractive.

toys

child's vie,,:,ing hours, counter­ acting television demands that you find other activitiE!s to re­ place it.

Encourage your son to invite his friends over after school.

Having several children around for snacks and playtime will re­ quire extra parental effort, but it will also get children away from \ the after-school cartoons.

If they sit in front of the TV screen, get them ,interested in something else.

Schedule a trip 'with your son to a toy store. Although he may head straight for the war toys, other toys will undoubtedly catch his eye. Attractive new toys will also catch your eye.

Find out what other than WIlt'­ ,toys seems to interest him.

Find something better than a war toy for his birthday. Ten· year-olds often .)ike sets wit.h many figures and parts.

Electronic toys, the kind that move and make noise and re­ quire lots of batteries, are fre­ qUEmtIy poor toys because ,they are cheaply made and break down easily. On the other hand. most lOs ~re enchanted by movement and Ughts and beep­ ers. A pocket calculator or pocket electronic game might be welcome.

Tens are just approaching the age when sports equIpment and sports clothing .are welcome.

Special sports shoes, warm-up

suits and sports equipment are possibilities.

Do not overlook your own special interests. Tens can be­ gin to share activities with par­ ents. If you enjoy a hobby such as photography or fishing, you might .buy your son some lequip­ ment for a beginner in this field.

Talk to other parents. You are not the only parent dis­ turbed by war toys. Pool ideas.

If other children do not have war toys, they will diminish in importance.

Persons concerned about vio­ lence have formed local and na­ tional groups. You might join such a group to gain support, to promote ideas and to join others in finding ways ,to' raise your family in a less violent climate.

Personally, I would not forbid a child to buy war toys with his own money. This only makes the forbidden item doubly at­ tractive and causes arguments.

Given the cost of toys and the limited resources of most lOs, his purchases will be few. ,But, like you, I would not betray my beliefs by purchasing war toys as gifts. i}f parents and grandparents refuse to pur­ chase them, war toys will soon disappear from the market.

NEW YORK '(NC) - In the' U.s. Catholic Church, unlike most other organizations, there is no clear link between socio­ economic class and higher office, said Jesuit Father Thomas 1.

Rel~se.

Writing in America magazine ,for Nov. 12, Father Reese dis, cussed the backgrounds of U.S. aw:i1iary bishops, bishops and arehbishops, working from' a qUEstionnaire which 90 percent of the bishops answered.

Only 12 percent of the bishops' fathers graduated from college and 64 percent did not graduate from high school, the questionnail-e showed.

"Their roots in the working class may partially explain why the American bishops have taken 'liberal' positions on economic ,quelltions, especially since these positions have, accurately re­ flected papal encyclicals," said Father Reese.

When he wrote his article, 37.7 bishl)ps were members of the Nati,onal Conference of Cath­ olic ':Bishops, serving 178 dioceses and archdioceses, tIle MHitary Ordi:rlatiate, Guam and the Vir­ gin lslands.'

The average age of NCCB members is 64, Father Reese said, but the average Ordinary, the principal bishop leading a see, :is 60.5 years old. The NCCB also i:ncludes retired bishops who

,

I

•

are an average of 78 .years old.

The average' age for auxiliary bishOps is 58.5.

"Most bishops never received more ;than a' bachelor's degree for alI their schooling," Father Reese said. Only 10 percent hold a doctoral degree, 5 percent have master's degrees in social work and 26 percent have masters in other areas, he said.

Father Reese said that "sur­ prisingly few" bishops have ec­ clesiastical doctorates in canon law or theology. His. studies showed about 10 percent have the S.T.D. (theology) and an­ other 10 percent the J.C.D. (can­ on law). Two percent have both degrees. ' .

Most degrees were from pon­ tifical colIeges in Rome or from the Catholic University of Am­ erica in Washington, he'said. At least one-third of the bishops studied in Rome at one time and one-third at eUA. A number of bishops who at­ tended Catholic University said "that they had never gone to a non-seminary. Catholic univer­ sity.This would seem to indicate that when they attended Cath­ olic University their education was for alI practical purposes segregated from that of the non­ seminary students," he said.

The study also showed that while, 37 percent of the bishops were pastors at the time of their

appointment, one-third were' never pastors. Almost all had worked in a chancery office sometime before their appoint­ ment. ' Only 29 percent of the arch­ bishops were ordained priests in their archdioceses, Father Reese said.

He added that his study "does not examine all of the charac­ teristics, nor even the most im­ portant ones, of a bishop. More important than any of the quali­ ties measured in this study are pastoral sensitivity and holiness, qualities not easily susceptible to measurement."

Genetics program In an attempt to meet the growing need for a geneticalIy informed clergy, the March of .

Dimes Birth Defects Foundation will conduct a pilot program on modem genetics for ministers, priests and rabbis.

To be held next summer at Georgetown University, Wash­ ington, D.C. the program wiU be directed by Father Robert C. BaumiUer, Ph.D., SJ, head of the genetics division at Georgetown University Hospital, and a pro­ fessor of obstetrics and gynecol­ ogy at Georgetown Medical School.

Father BaumiIler said the course, to be given four half-days a week for 10 weeks, wiIl train already experienced pastoral counselors as resource people for clinics, individuals and families coping with birth defects.

Changing tiines Continued from page one our country and in the church in our country," he said. Irritants include many American Cath­ olics' practice of artificial birth control, openn~ss toward div­ orce, and other ideas which may differ from official church posi­ tions, Msgr. Ellis said.

Regarded as open demonstra­ tions of Vatican concern ­ whether positive or negative is not· yet clear, sources said ­ are the call for studies of reli­ gious Ufe and seminaries.

Sister Rita Hofbauer, assistant to the director of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious and member of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart, said some Vatican apprehensions "stem from a real lack of understand­ ing of American culture." She suggested the rising participa­ tion of the ,laity in the church is one important aspect of Ameri­ can Catholic practice that should be further devloped, to the ex­ tent possible under canon law, by the bishops.

Sources said the consultative spirit of American Catholicism has been characterized by estab­ lishment of priests' senates, par­ ish and. pastoral counciis, par­ ental involvement with Catholic schools, and collaboration by the bishops collectively and as in­ dividuals with ~ay people and other advisers on important issues. . .

IN A CEREMONY dating from the sixth century,. Brother Vincent Andrews, aSB, professes solemn vows of obedience, conversion of life and stability to Abbot Edward C. Campbell, aSB, at Glastonbury Abbey, Hingham. (Loring Photo)

'A monk for life.'

By Father John saltzman, OSB

In a ceremony whose anti­ quity is traced ,to prescriptions of St. Benedict in his sixth cen­ tury Rule for Monasteries, Brother Vincent Luke Andrews of Taunton vowed to live as a monk for the rest of his life.

He thus became a monk of Glastonbury Abbey in Hingham.

His vows were received by Glastonbury Abbot Edward Campbell, OSB. The great moment, witnessed by the other monks of the abbey,

by Brother Vincent's family from Taunton and by friends from near and far, took place at a Mass on Nov. 5.

Brother Vincent joined the Glastonbury Benedictines in 1979 and has been active in re­

treat work, in giving workshops on liturgy and' in teaching theo­ logy.

Among his many talents, Brother Vincent is a primarHy self-taught pianist, organist, guitarist and vocalist. Also of . special note is his expertise as a magician, a craft which he prac­ tices at the Abbey and through­ out the Boston area. .

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. Vincent Andrews· of Taunton, took part in the profession cere­ mony. Also in attendance were his brothers, Timothy of Chicago and James of Taunton, the latter with his wife Annette and sons Sean and Brian.

Brother Vincent graduated in 1967 from Coyle High School, Taunton. He holds a bachelor's

degree from George Washington University and a master's degree from the Washington Theologi­ cal Union, both in Wasllington, DC. Prior to entering religious life, Brother Vincent was a pro­ fessional photographer in Boston.

He was also a social worker and involved in church ministries in Baltimore, Denver and Memphis.

As does every Benedictine, Brother Vincent professed solemn vows of obedience, con­ version of life and stability, meaning in his case that he wiH, in ~H probability, remain at the Glastonbury monastery.

Thus a musician-magician­ photographer became a monk for life.

SEATILE (NC) - Without re­ vealing the specific concerns which brought him to Seattle fOf an apostolic visitation, Areh­ bishop James Hickey of Wash­ ington said Nov. 8 that those concerns will be resolved.

The archbishop said he dis­ cussed the issuelil with Arch­ bishop Raymond G. Hunthausen.

Archbishop Hickey had said at the beginning of his Nov. 2-8 visit that the visit was not prompted by the stand of the Archbishop of Seattle against nuclear arms, but he did not elaborate on areas ·under investi­ gation.

At the end of his visit Arch­ bishop Hickey issued a state­ ment: "I came as brother-bishop to brother..bishop to assist in re­ viewin/J the pastoral life of this importapt archdiocese. The Holy See as~ed me to come for a short ti\TI.e ,to gather information and thlls assist the holy father in his ongoing evaluation and support of bishops throughout the world.

"I have observed the progress made in the Archdiocese of Seattle, and have gained, I. be­ lieve, an insight into a range of viewpoints. I heard from so many who expressed admiration for Archbishop Hunthausen as a man of Gospel values, a bishop deeply committed to Christ and to the church. Concerns and criticism expressed to me have been discussed with the arch­ bishop. We are confident that these can be resolved, in a spirit of mutual understanding and in harmony with the teaching and direction of the church."

Upon returning to Washington Archbishop Hickey was to pre­ pare a report for the Vatican, noting "strengths and weak­ nesses" in the Seattle Archdio­ cese.

The archbishop and his assist­ ant, Father William Coyle of Fargo, N.n., interviewed 65 priests, Religious and laymen.

More than 120 people requested time to speak with the arch­ bishop and interviews were held

A nun who met with Arch­ bishop Hickey commented, "It was a privilege to speak to him on Archbishop's Hunthausen's behalf."

Not all witnesses spoke in favor of Archbishop Hunthausen.

Ervan Park of Kelso, Wash., re­ quested a meeting with Arch­ bishop Hickey so that he could voice his "considerable concern about the direction the archdio­ cese is going in."

Park, a salesman, is leader of a group called Roman Catholic Laity for Truth, and editor of the group's newsletter, Catholic , Truth, Park said there are "many abuses" in Masses celebrated in the archdiocese and that cate­ chetical material with "improper teachings" is being used.

The Seattle archdiocesan chan­ cery has received about 600 letters, according to Father Mi­ chael G. Ryan, chanceUor. The overwhelming majority have been supportive of Arebbishop Hunthausen, he said. More than 200 priests in the archdiocese published a statement of sup­ port in the Nov. 3 issue of The Progress, the newspaper of the Seattle Archdiocese.

Ised not to tell? (Iowa) A. In conilec~ion with this question, another ought to be asked; is one allQwed to break a promise in order to reveal im­ pOrtant information?

In some ways it is eXtremely , difficult to answer such vague questions. No clue is, given, for example, about how important the information is and what the 'results will be if the information is revealed or is kept hidden.

Perhaps a fictitious example will shed some light. Sheila, who is 17, has been your best friend for over three years. In the past year you llnd she have smoked an increasing number of joints together.

One night she says she has a really big secret toteU you ­ but you must. promise not to tell it. You give her your word that you will keep the secret.

She then tells you that her boyfriend, Gary, who is 19, has introduced her to cocaine. She says it is terri~ic and that Gary is going to get her some on a regular basis. . .' ,Because you have had an ex" tensive education, .in drugs, at sch'ool, yoU Know the facts about cocaine and ,its, dangers.

New Films "The Ballad of Gregorio Cor­ tez" (Embassy) In 1901 in Gon­ zales, Texas, a Hispanic-Amer­ ican, Gregorio Cortez (Edward James Olmos), 'shoots a sheriff when a mistake made by an in­ terpreter turns a question into a ,threat. He flees for Mexico, pursued by a huge posse, finally surrenders when he 'learns that his wife and children are being held in prison, and is brought to trial before a hostile court.

This is a sensitive, well-acted and beautifully photographed film that does justice to both sides in this clash of cultures based upbn an actual event. Its serious intent and cons'iderable accomplishment make it excep­ tional. Some violepce. A2 (Rec.,) PG
