CHD aid

• IS asked

The annual collection for the Campaign for Human Develop ment will be taken up this week end in all churches of the dio cese. The campaign, inaugur,ated by the U.S. bishops an 1969, has as its goals ,the combating of injus tice, oppression, al,jenation and poverty in the United States. It does thIs by raising the con sciousness of Amel'icans as to the ~njustices suffered by some 35 million of their feJoloW' country men; by funding self-help pro grams for the poor; and by con tinually seeking reevaluation by individuals, families, the church and the civic community of their prioritJies with 'l'egalld to stew ardship of God-given goods. Discussing the ,root causes of poverty in America, ,the 1982 CHD report declares "God doesn"t make people poor; people make people poor." That thought, 'the report con tinues, "sums up CHoD's approach -people are poor as the result of decisions made by other peo ple and anstitutions. ' "Some peot>le are born. dnto poverty, and struggle, often un successfully, to overcOme it. But very few Americans are immune from poverty-most are only a sudden dUness, a divorce, a job 40ss away. "Some Americans are poor because of ,the color of their skin. Minorities and women 8!lso suffer from the "'last hired, first fired" syndrome in times of re cession. "Rapid economic growth made a significant dent in poverty be tween 1947 and 1963, but since then a'imost all of the reduction in povel'ty has been 'the result of government social programs precisely ,the programs being slashed today. "Another underlying cause of poverty :in recent years has been a series of shocks to the Amer ican economy, from the cost of the Vietnam war to skyrocketing energy costs to tax cuts and high interest rates that 'Choke off eco nomic recovery. "The causes of poverty are complex; so are the cures. A Newsweek cover story on ,the dramatic inorease of poverty in America 'Concluded that, 'The evidence so far suggests that the poor need something more than la:l~sez-faire solutions they neell programs to help them become ~elf-sufficient,' "That ds what the Campaign for Human Development is a'll about," 'conclu~es the CHD statement.

WASHINGTON (NC) - The morality of nuclear weapons, potentially one of the most divi sive issues for American Cath· olics in the 1980s, topped the agenda of the U.S. bishops' an nual meeting in Washington, which ended yesterday. Unusual media a.ttention was focused on the meeting due to the bishops' open opposition to U.S.' nuclear defense policy. At a news conference on its open ing day Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago, chairman of the bishops' committee pre paring a pastoraR letter on war and peace, said it is "unhelp ful" to call nuclear. freeze ad vocates dupes of foreign powers. Although the archbishop did not mention him by name, Presi dent Reagan is among those who have made such assertions. Dur ing the campaign before the November election in which nu clear freeze proposals were on the ballots in 39 jurisdictions, he argued that the freeze campaign was inspired by people who "want the weakening of Am erica," The archbishop said there are rumors that he was called to Rome because oil complaints in the United States about'the'docu ment "and was told by the holy father to layoff," ~"I received no such call," Archbishop Bernardin said. He explained that he was in Rome last month to attend a previous ly scheduled meeting of the coun· cil of the Synod of Bishops. During an audience in which Pope John Paul II received all the members of the council, Archbishop Bernardin said he spoke briefly to the pope.

VAToICAN CITY (NC) - The Vatican has established a special commission to study whether an annulment should be granted in the marriage of Princess Caroline of Monaco and Frenchman Phil lippe Junot. The procedure corresponds to the ordinary norms in annulment cases and follows canon law pro cedures which reserve judgment to the pope an cases involving the chIldren of a head of state, said the Vatican. The statement follows press ~eports suggel>ting that Pope John Paul II was expediting the case out of sympathy for Caro line 'because of the death of her mother, Princess Grace, in Sep tember. But the Vatican statement in dicated that ,the same norms would govern a decision in CaTQ Hne's case as 'in that of any other peti,tioner. The statement added ,that the ,pope had established a three man commission to hear the case because the current Code of Canon Law gives the pope au thority to decide a case involv ing the son or daughter of a head of state~

The Vati~an statement said that such a rule safeguards "the ecclesiastical judges from pos sible undue interferences or pres sures." It 'listed as other rea sons for the rule regard owed by the church "to the supreme authorities of the :;tate" and the public interest such cases arouse and the "consequ,ent obligation of the ecclesiastical authority to guarantee with special care that reserve, which is rtheright of' everyone, about the private life of the persons involved." Vatican sources told NC News that early this year Princess Grace had Tequl$ted Monaco church authorities to consider her daughter's case. The author ities asked Pope John Paul to establish procedures for hearing the case. The pope referred the question ,to the Vatican's Coun cil for the Public Affairs of the Church, which 'requested the Roman Rota, the church's high est marriage court, to appoint a commission "of first dnstance" to hear the case. The Vatican statement added tha.t "suggestions about 'favor itism' of the Holy See in treat ing marriage caslls regarding fa

Regal feast at cathedral

The regal feast of Christ the King will be celebrated at 10 Sunday morning at St. Mary's Cathedral's major weekend liturgy. On any Sunday, says Glepn Giuttari, cathedral director of music, the 10 a.m. liturgy is cele brated with choir, organ and full congregational participation. But this Sunday will be unusually outstanding, celebrating the feast of Christ the King, "a day/' ex plains GJuttari, "when we can focus clearly on the one Christ: King, ra<Jiant, majestic, divine." The c~thedral choir will be joined by a brass quartet from Hartt Co~servatory and by tym panist John Beaulieu to present "some of the truly spectacular music for organ, brass and

chorus," said Giuttari. The prelude will begin at 9:45 a.m. and the following music will be heard: FloI' Peeters, Entrata Festiva and Agnus Dei (St. Joseph Mass); Ralph Vaughn Williams, Old Hundredth; Marier, Glory to God; Hl~inrich Schuetz, Thanks Be to Yahweh; Norman Warren (1973), Praise Him; Gio vanni Gabrieli (1597), Canzona for Brass and Organ; Kelder manns, To Jesus Christ. Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington and Father Jon-Paul Gallant will concelebrate the Eucharistic liturgy with Joanne Mercier as cantor, Kathleen Dean as lector..

De Jorio said that in May Caroline had been notified that a commission had been em panelled to hea,r iher case and that she could begin proceedings by filing a petition for declara tion of nullity.

the living word

the moorins.-, A Curious Cirleumstance In a state supposedly dedicated to eradication of the last tinges of church ritual and trappings, the recent burial ceremony of Leonid Brezhnev was certainly curious. Amid the pomp and panoply of the state funeral, it was more than startling to see on the front page of the Sunday New York Times a photograph of the Patriarch of Moscow and other prelates of the Russian Orthodox Church paying their respects' to the late president. It was noted in the copy accompanying the picture that the visit by the religious dignitaries was televised nationwide aI\d otherwise given prominence through the Russian bloc. The event was considered by many as new evidence of the role granted the church in an officially atheistic state. That said, it also should be noted that the Patriarch of Moscow has been a great support to the government and has kept his ecclesiastical work well within the boundaries prescribed by the state. However, the official appearance of the Russian church at the Communist substitute for the religious rite of burial should serve notice to all that the church is more than merely existing in Russia. Russian loyalties are fierce and persistent. Their roots are deep and well planted. Mother Russia and Holy Russia are indeed inseparable. How these titles are interpreted by a given government is secondary. The mere appearance of the church at Brezhnev's bier testifies that the Kremlin leaders cannot ignore the religious heritage of the Russian people. But the raising of that visit' to the status of an event worthy of' national television coverage cannot be dismissed as mere token~sm. '," One hopes that the leaders of Russia will yet be forced by their people to acknowledge the role of church in their nation. Were there not some presentiment of this, would those who hold officially that religion is the opiate of the masses have recognized the church at the time of a state funeral? One would expect undiluted Communism to avoid such participation unless forced to permit it for the sake of internal peace. To lay too much stress on this incident would, of course, be. unrealistic; yet to ignore it would be unwise. Testimony of exiles and writings of dissidents give evidence that the religious yearnings of Mother Russia are' very much alive. Despite strict control and government guidelines, Holy Russia lives.

tian personalism that combines church tradition with a philoso phy both contemporary and at tractive. In achieving this blend of old and new, the pope has reaffirm ed revered Catholic moral prin ciples with regard to inviolability of human life, respect for truth' and recognition that sexual ac tivity must respect the ends to· ward which sex is ordered. The papal teachings are in stark contrast to those of some of the more popular moral theo logians ,of our day. Richard A. McCormick and Paul Ramsey, for instance, in the 1978 book "Doing Evil to Achieve Good" (Loyola University Press), dis cuss ambiguity in moral choices. They seem to yield too much to the popular ethic of expediency, ignoring the treachery of the hu· man heart and man's ability to rationalize. . We must never forget that no matter what apparent good is achieved, no true good is served by choosing to do an evil action. The life of St. Thomas More is instructive. As chancellor of England, he refused as a matter of conscience to support King Henry VIII's divorce and his

evil assertion of religious supremacy More was executed for his stand. No one knew more clearly than he the likelihood of his own death, as well as of suffering for his family, if he resisted the small compromise, the practical accommodation with circum stances, which would have saved him. His refusal to make that compromise proved him worthy of the company of saints. More's view was that one's primary goal is not that of mak ing the world a pleasant or happy place. Rather, he looked on the world as a place in which souls are made, and persons shaped by their own free actions. He affirmed with his life the fundamental moral teaching that it is wrong to participate in good as the result of doing an act in itself wrong. We are, of course, never cer tain of the effects of even our best-intended actions.J3ut if our acts are faithful to tJle dignity of every person, we Will honor God in our life and cQ.n be sure that we are fostering the growth of the kingdom of God. What we do and w~at we are are far more important than what happens to us.

"I hear Phil Sharp is down," he says, reaching up a huge paw to push back his white mane. Sharp of Indiana is of concern to the speaker because he has been redistricted into a Repub lican area. He enters a room where there is a bar, a buffet table and a score of old friends. He gestures toward the food. "Beef stew," he says and turns to his 33-year-old son, Christopher, "I've been eating beef stew on election night since before you were born Kip." The young waiter at the table looks slightly pained. "It's beef burgundy," he murmurs. The telephone rings. It is Jimmy Carter. The speaker croons, "Mr. Presi dent, how are you? You are do ing great. We are doing be~utiful, . Mr. President." Rita Hankin, his receptionist, comes in smiling with news from home. "Tip O'Neill has just been projected the winner." Everyone laughs and the speaker says, in a reference to exit polls, one of those new devices he h~s no truck with, "Was that from the subway, or was it on the level?" Rita Hankin brings another bulletin, from Delaware. Thomas Carper, the Democrat, is win ning, 54 percent to 49 percent. "That makes' 103, dear, but I'll take it, it's beautiful." Around 9 o'clock, CBS is giv ing the speaker a gain of 34 seats. He looks dubious and then snorts, "If they went down, they would blame O'Neill, but if we win, (Charles) Manatt and Bobby Byrd will get the credit." He begins to move around rest lessly. Kirk O'Donnell, his grave young political adviser, tells him that Sharp has been declared a winner. The speaker is in his inner office, where his sky-blue cable-knit sweater is draped over a chair. He wants to' speak to Sharp. He picks up the phone. "Phil, everything's over, you are all right. You are the first one I am congratulating. It was the Hail Marys that did it." He relaxes, lights a cigar and fails to reminiscing. "I remem ber, a year ago, they were say ing, 'You ought to quit. Why not go out now and save yourself embarrassment?' " He asks O'Donnell how Wheat, "the black fella," is doing. Alan Wheat is trying for the seat va cated by Richard Bolling of Missouri, who underwent sur gery Wednesday morning. O'Donnell . is reassuring about Wheat. "Isn't that a beautiful thing for a guy lying in the hospital,"

the speaker muses. While keeping in touch with friends, he is keeping track of enemies. Two races are of vivid personal interest. One is "the little leprechaun who jumped the fence," by whom he means Eu gene Atkinson, the Pennsylvania Democrat who turned Republ ican. The speaker has been urged by his staff not to call him "Gyppo Nolan," after the princi pal character in c'The Informer," which O'Neill regards as the greatest movie ever made. The other is Republican John LeBoutillier, the fork-tongued freshman from Long Island who called the speaker '<big, fat and out of control - like the federal government," and once pinned a "Repeal' O'Neill" button on President Reagan. The speaker's attention is call ed to Robert Michel, the House Republican leader, who is locked in struggle with a 30-year-old Peoria, Ill., lawyer. "I'm a Demo crat and vote for Democrats," he sighs, "but if Michel loses, the Republicans will turn over the leadership to the right wing and throw out all the moderates." O'Neill (calks about Ronald Reagan, ,the president who has tried - and failed - to make him the heavy in the campaign. He is a handsome, charismatic, articulate man. The one factor he has that is lacking is an ear that hears. That is what this guy doesn't have. I think it is be cause of the company he keeps. He has forgotten where he comes from." His large eyes suddenly light up. "I was walkin' down the street in Lynn campaigning for Nick Mavlioulis and this nun comes up to me 4lnd says, 'Stop callin' Ronald Reagan a deceent man - anyone who is doing what he is doing to old people and handicapped children I I am . praying fOIi you.''' He asks his secretary, Eleanor Kelly, "Would you call Millie' for me like a good girl?" "Hi, Mom," he says to Mrs. O'Neill. "Everything is going great. We haven't lost a Demo crat that I know of." O'Donnel comes in grinning. Atkinson is losing big. "Gyppo has gone down the tube," the speaker crows. He is ushered out to Statuary Hall for a television interview. In the welter of wires and high technology chitchat, he is silent and respectful, hands clasped over huge paunch. He makes a modest claim of 12 seats. Back in his quaI1ers, Leo Diehl, his companion lJnd helper of 40 years, tells hill\ that Le Boutillier has just conc;eded. The speaker waves his cigar, the staff cheers. His big face is wreathed in smiles. "It's a great night for the Irish," he breathes.

For CHRISTMAS Perf~t Gift for an Irish Friend orYourself TODAY there are more than thirty million Americans with Irish blood in their veins. Proud, too, of every drop of it! They particularly take pleasure in

keeping alive and popularizing the witty ,

sayings and writings of those of their blood, especially of those intensely Irish Irishmen such as Swift, Sheridan, Shaw,

Gogarty, Wilde, Dunne, Breslin,

O'Rourke, McNulty, MacDonagh, Wib berley, O'Connor, Ervine, O'Faolain, Doyle, Callaghan and Sullivan, all of

whom with others are included in this

generous volume - THE HOME BOOK OF IRISH HUMOR. Here they have caught

the ready wit, the quick retort, the hun

dred ingratiating faults, the thousand redeeming weaknesses, the sometimes' bitter and usually ironic observations of the Irish' which have given the race its reputation for humor and good

fellowship.

- The contents of THE HOME BOOK OF

IRISH HUMOR 'are divided into twelve sections: Pubs, Publicans and Patrons; Irish Bulls and Pure Poteen; Born Poli ticos; The Great Georgians; The Landed Gentry; Tales from the Irish Coun tryside; The Renaissance; For the Bend in the Road; North of the Border and Down Under; Irish Ballads, Songs and Sagas; Irish Proverbs; and Wakes and Wags.

They were also asked to ap prove the development of pas toral statements on Hispanics and on campus ministry. ' In a report on the development of the Catholic Telecommunica t~ons Network of America they were told that the CTNA is now functioning and growing in use but needs more dioceses than the present 33 affiliated. with it. The. llishops' also heard a lengthy report from thejir Com mittee on the Role of Women in Society arid the Church. Pre viously cqmmittee members held a special meeting on the ways U.S. women are affected by poverty.

Dear Engaged Couples, Ou;r beloved Holy Father, Pope John Paul II has written with great affection to us with regard to the Sacrament of Matrimony and the preparatiop of young people like yourselves, for this important, lifelong cotnmitmentThe Church must jpin with families and with society in "helping you to prepare for your future responsibilities. Thoughtful, careful preparation of couples, like yourselves, who approach the pa'rish priests for marriage is so very essential. .

" He. in the Diocese of Fall River, we have under~en - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' a rather lengthy and extensive study in· anticipation of issuing "Guidelines for Marriage Preparation," contained in the following pages. Essentially, these "Guidelines" are Ii .reflection of"our utmost regard for the sanctity· of "marriage and of our abiding love for you. The mqst direct contact which you will have regarding your wedding plans will be with .your parish priest. I ~an assure you that he will be personally committed to assisting you in every possible way. I am COnfident that you, in tum, will cooperate with him and with all of us .in respeet to these "Guidelines" as you plan for your wedding day.

When good reasons eXist for such, a dispensation, in interfaith inarlrbiges~ the Bishop may'pennit the wedding, to take 'Place in another church, witnessed by that minister. Ecclesiastical permissions are obtained by the . priest of the Catholic party.

The circumstance of pregnancy is not, of itself, sufficient reason for marriage, and when it exists, tlte priest' wiD be especially concented to be sure that proper motivation is present ott the part of both parties~

Generally, when two Catholics marry, the wedding takes place in the par;sh of the bride. When there is a mixed marriage involving a Catholic man, the wedding is usually' held, in the home parish of the groom.

I pray that Alptighty God will bring to you a full and abundant measure of His rich blessings, on yoUr~wedding day and for many happy and blessed years to come.

Jay Katherine Bird Not long ago, said the priest, a woman came in for a talk. Be set by personal tragedies a num ber of years earlier, she had turned first to alcohol and then to pills in a futile attempt to es cape her problems. Angry and upset, she blamed God for her difficulties. She stop ped going to church and gave up praying. Her family repeatedly begged her to stop drinking and to leave the drugs alone. But she would not listen. However, as time passed, she began to worry about her life. She became aware of how much pain she was causing her family. .Eventually she decided to try to put her life in. order, but'

found that this was not easily done. She also found that she needed help to alter her pattern of living. So for a time she went to a psychiatrist to talk over her feelings and difficulties. This helped, but she then realized that there was a void in her life which the psychiatrist could not fill. Even though she was pro gressing in fighting her addic tions, she felt some vital dimen sion was not being touched. Finally she concluded that she could never be a complete human being without returning to the God she had abandoned. Event· ually, the priest said, she return ed to church services.

By Father John J. C&stelot Jesus wils exasperated when the disciples did not understand him. ·But he began to open their .eyes, gradually, patiently, per sistently. His attempt to clire the blindness of his disciples will be the theme of the second part of Mark's Gospel. Chapter 8:22 33 serves as a sort of bridge to this next part. This hinge collection opens with the cure of a blind man at Bethsaida. Mark very cleverly inserts this account here. The

disciples have just demonstrated incredible blindness. "Have you eyes but no sight?" he asks them sadly in Chapter 8:18. Now Jesus demonstrated his ability to restore sight. The un usual features 'of this miracle help to bring out what Mark is trying to say. Most of Jesus' cures are instantaneous; this one is in two stages. Jesus asks, "Can you see any thing?" The man replies, "I can see, people but they look like Tum to Page Thirteen

My grandmother died of leu kemia on Wednesday of Holy Week. She would have found it an almost perfect time. On Good Friday we held her wake. We buried her on Holy Saturday. There were complications. It was not easy to find a priest on Good· Friday, and the one who led the rosary at the wake was a stranger among the sorrowing people. And, in the custom of the church of the 1960s, there could be no funeral Mass .on Holy Saturday. So the service in our parish church that day was quite unlike even that of the high church Anglican tradition that Claire Keeler had interrupted in the family's history. Among those present, in addi tion to the family, were the re

tired elderly clerks who, like my grandmother, had shuffled around for years in the dusty stacks of Hennepin County's registry of deeds office in Minne sota. And there were friends, in cluding an old next-door neigh bor who happened to be in town and had seen the notice of the funeral in the paper. Thinking about' it, I was struck by how many people had been touched. by my grand mother and by the faith that was such a natural part of her exis tence. Like the backdrop of her life. If the symbol of marriage is the union of Christ with his church, the family becomes the church writ small; the place where the covenant of God and human beings reaches into fu ture generations.

Seeing better

Continued froD' page twelve walking trees!~' Then Ii second time Jesus lays hands on the eyes of the man who now sees perfectly. Jesus sends him hOII\e with the admonition, "Do not even go into the village." Later, at Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asks the disciples who people say he is. They give him a confused answer. "Some, John the Baptizer, others, Elijah, still others, one of the prophets." (They "see" but only confusedly.) Then the second question: "And you, who do you say that I am?" Peter answers straight forwardly, "You are the Mes siah!" '(They now saw perfectly.) And just as Jesus had ordered the man not even to go into the village, now he "gave strict orders not to tell anyone about him." . Acknowledgement of Jesus, we' discover here, wlll come only gradually; even then it will be incomplete until the cross and resurrection bring the full light of faith. For, as wlll be shown, Peter's apparently clear insight was not cklar at all. He still had much to learn, as they all did, and from now on Jesus will be trying to teach them. This is the last of three re actions to Jesus which punctu ate the first part of Mark's Gos pel. The first was the decision of

the Pharisees and Herodi~ns; the second was his Ibejection by his kinsfolk and townspeople. Now there is this climatic third reaction. But, as it turns out, it is as disappointing, if not so final, as the other two. For Peter does not really understand. The story of the cure of the blind man at Bethsaida serves another purpose. You might think of it as part of a bracket' enclosing the next section of the Gospel. This cure is like the first arm of the bracket. The second arm SiSTER .'

Continued froql page twelve speaking, to be attentive to the development of the whole person. Dr. Karl Menninger, in a con ference some years ago with su periors of religious orders, sug gested daily disciplines that can integrate life. He recommended that each day time be set aside: A. to pray and meditate in quiet and solitude; that each day time be set aside; B. to do something just for fun; C. to read something intellect ually or aesthetically stimulating; D. to exercise and appreciate our bodies which we should keep in trim through proper use of food and alcohol. Many people have such dis ciplines. Some have adopted a special diet. Others do yoga be fore meditating. One takes a study day once a month. Others express themselves through song, dance or some form of art work. They agree with Father Kadowaki that Jesus meant us to throw our full energy into the affairs of me - like St. Irena eus in the second century, who cried that "The Glory of God is the human person fully alive."

For as the many small springs and streams descending and forming a river become more deep and weighty, even so thus meeting with a people gathered of the living God into a sense of enjoyment of His divine and living presence." As Advent approaches, let us enter into the Silence. "Come back, k~ep peace, be still . • . and you will be safe and strong."
