WORK FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY FESTIVAL ART OPENING HAS NOT STOPPED SAYS POPE VATICAN CITY (NC) : Pope Paul VI denied the cause of Christian ecumenism has come to a halt. The day before he was to take part in a unity prayer service on Rome's Cathedral of St. John Lateran, the Pope told a noontime crowd in St. Peter's Square that the modern ecumenical movement had filled Christians "with great visions and great hopes." Ecumenism "founded logue), which is a col"not were These dreams," he said.

training director, Miss Pamela Gruber, said the simulation game was designed to help leaders understand the ways by which people exercised power and to help them become more sensitive to its abuse. More than 50 people will take part in each game, in which models of society will be built by the decision-making of the players. Miss Gruber said simulation games were being increasingly recognised as an important educational process as they enabled people to experience issues, instead of merely talk about them. During the training courses, leaders will take part in general studies of world inequalities, Christian teachings on justice and humanity, the effective leadership of groups, ethics and programme organisation.

Al LAST SWISS SAY "YES' TO JESUITS
THE Swiss Government an flounced last week it had decided to revoke a 124year-old ban on the Jesuits forbidding them to exercise any religious or educational function in Switzerland. It will also revoke another constitutional clause that forbade the construction of new monasteries and convents for religious orders or the reestablishment of any Which had been suppressed. A draft law deleting the two clauses from the constitution will be submitted to parliament and to a referendum of the Swiss people later this year. A Government communique said the clauses were unjustified and contrary to liberty and fundamental to the principle of equality before the law. There are about 80 Jesuit priests in Switzerland, but they are occupied only with publish jag, organising conferences, radio and television work and running centres for young people. AN ALLIANCE The Jesuits banning of the in 1847 a followed complicated crisis of Church -State relations. The liberalism and radicalism caused grave sufferings for the Church in Switzerland.

Controversial approach to catechetics defended LONDON (NC).—"There is not — nor has
there ever been—a single Catholic theology," Father Hubert Richards, principal of England's Corpus Christi College for religious education, said as he defended his College's controversial approach to the subject. "There is a Catholic faith and this has always been expressed in various theologies, never more so perhaps than in the present age. I can well understand that for someone brought up exclusively in a certain school of thought i t must be hard to accept this fact." Father Richards' statement, part of a continuing dispute among English catechetical experts over the content and methods of religious training, was made at a January meeting of past students of the London college. The college, founded by Cardinal John Heenan, of Westminster, about six years ago, serves priests, nuns, Brothers and lay people engaged in pastoral and catechetical work. Father Richards and his four permanent assistant teachers—two priests and two nuns—announced their resignations to be effective at the end of the present college year, in July, and a new principal and staff are taking over. The college has for some time been involved in a controversy with the Church authorities over differences on the nature of religious education. Two other senior priest-members of the staff resigned earlier last year—one of them was laicized. Cardinal Heenan has rejected the resigning staff's claim he interfered with their academic freedom by substituting visiting lecturers with more orthodox views for those invited by the college. He said the problem was not one of academic freedom as the staff had alleged but one of responsibility.

affinity for certain words and forms of speech, but go far beyond this to idiosyncracies the writer cannot possibly be conscious of. Some of these characteristics are the statistical occurrence of long, as against short words; of long, as against short, sentences; patterns of sentence structure and of word sequence. To investigate the Book of Isaiah in the light of these assumptions, every one of the 18,000 words in its Hebrew original was fed into the computer, together with data on its roots, grammatical form, place in the sentence, and so forth.
SECOND ISAIAH The entire body of data was then processed separately for six groups of chapters, three of them up to chapter 35, a fourth for chapters 40 through 48, and two more for the following groups. The outstanding conclusion of the study was that the 40th chapter of Isaiah, and those following it, could not possibly have been written by the author of the initial chapters, Isaiah, the son of Amotz, who prophesied over Judah and Jerusalem during the reign of four kings, about 800 years before Christ. The general assumption is that a second Isaiah lived during the sixth century before Christ, when the expanding but religiously tolerant Persian empire had brought a modicum of peace to the area. This is supported by an additional analysis of the text carried out by Dr. Radai. Assuming words connected with war would be less prevalent during the later period, than during the former strife-torn period, he examined the occurrence of such terms in the six different sections of the book. The conclusion he reached was that chapters 40 through 48 again were different from most other parts of the Book of Isaiah, and that in these chapters the vocabulary included relatively few terms of war. — From NC News Service.

"It was precisely to cope with this problem that this college was founded, to investigate how the understanding we received from the Christian community of yesterday can be faithfully and effectively communicated to men living today. That is what catechetics is about." He said that if education were to be an honest search for truth "it cannot be short-circuited by predetermined textbook answers . . . theology today can only be done in a setting where many points of view are explored and questioned . . . to exclude all points of view but one will neither truly educate nor deepen a person's faith and understanding."

Father Richards—replying to the cardinal's criticism that some of the Corpus Christi students were immature and unstable—said the staff had asked from the beginning that no student should attend who was not mature and did not have some years of experience to bring to the common search. "Indeed, it was only from this rich pooling of background and experience that the work of the college was able to proceed," he added. "The Cardinal's request that we remove five eminent visiting lecturers . . . brought the latent tension (at the college) to a head. It was on this issue that we offered our resignation." He said the reorganised Corpus Christi would scarcely be able to avoid "fruitful tensions" if it were "to address itself to the world we live in."

This thought-provoking editorial was pub !ished in an American Catholic paper, the Catholic Northwest Progress in Seattle.
NO ONE'S PRAYING DO CATHOUCS ever pray at Mass? This rather startling question was asked by a 19-year-old girl during a convert class not long ago. The priest in charge replied that of course Catholics prayed at Mass. He then inquired: 'What made you ask that question?' 'Well,' she said, 'I went to Mass for the first time last Sunday. Several times the priest at the altar spread his hands and said, "Let us pray." The first time I bowed my head in prayer, you know, the way you do when you try to talk to Go d.

COLM O'DOHERTY PREVIEWS 'THE SWAN RIVER SAGA' BOOK REVIEW
MAYBE WE'LL SEE WHERE Primer of ideas WE'RE HEADING T RAVELLING TO FREEDOM Reviewed by Douglas W. Young, S.V.D.
'THE SWAN RIVER SAGA' began at the Hole In The Wail Theatre this week, and will carry on till February 12. However, seats have been SOLD OUT. We are told there is a possibility of it being brought back to the theatre later. IN THE advertising columns of last Saturday morning's paper there was a house and property offered for sale. The name of that property was "Belvoir". A coincidence, considering that this week Nita Pannell will play the part of Eliza Shaw, the wor,r,an who, with her husband over 130 years ago, developed and named that property. (nee Shaw Eliza Cooper) was born in Dublin in 1794 and, at the age of 19 married a young British army lie...tenant, 16 years after that event. And at the age of 35, she and her family were on their way to Western Australia.

Abortion and maternal health
PPROXIMATELY three-quarA ters of the abortions performed in England and Wales ( and in South Australia, where been "legalised" unabortion has permissive terms) similarly der are performed either because of an alleged 'risk to the life of the pregnant woman" or because of an alleged "risk of injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman." Nevertheless, a careful analysis of statistics relating to these abortions reveals, quite clearly, that the wilful murder of the unborn does not protect women f rom the risk of death or injury. On the contrary, abortion, in itself, represents a very grave danger to the life and health of pregnant women and for this reason, a lone, the Second Vatican Council was quite right when it described abortion as "an unspeakable crime. (1 ) In other words, no Catholic need ever be ashamed of the Church's teaching on abortion, and, indeed, al l Catholics should strive to have the Church's absolute prohibition of direct, deliberate abortion enshrined where it ought to be enshrined—in the law of the land. A BORTION MORTALITY The first statistics that prove the timelessness and validity of the Church's teaching relate to abortion mortality. These statistics, from the office of Population Censuses and Surveys in England, reveal the following facts: During 1969 and 1970, 138,008 legal abortions were performed in England and Wales. Twenty women (and 138,008 babies!) died as a result. Statistically speaking, one woman died for every 6,900 abortions—a maternal mortality rate of 14.5 per 100,000 abortions. During the same two years, 1,582,000 live babies were delivered in England and Wales, and 211 maternal deaths occurred in association with these completed pregnancies. Thus, one mother died for every 7,500 births—a rate of 13.3 per 100,000. These figures show that, in England and Wales at least, the risk of death following abortion is equivalent to the risk of maternal death following a completed pregnancy. Accordingly, even though many doctors assert that abortion may sometimes save a mother's life, this claim has no foundation in fact. On the contrary, abortion is just as hazardous as pregnancy, and a seriously ill pregnant woman who tries to save her life by abortion may join her unborn child in death! These considerations reveal the wisdom contained in the following words Pope Pius XI recorded in his encyclical Casti Connubii: "Upright and skilful doctors strive most praiseworthily to guard and preserve the lives of both mother and child. On the contrary, those show themselves most unworthy of the noble medical Profession who encompass the death of one or the other, through a pretence at practising medicine or through motives of misguided pity." (2) The doctor who strives to protect and preserve the lives of both mother and Child may save both lives committed to his care.
On the other hand, the unworthy practitioner who deliberately murders the un born child—on the offchance of saving the mother's life—has already taken one life He has, moreover, no guarantee whatevel that his action will not bring the mother, also, to a sudden and untimely end.
ABORTION MORBIDITY Similar considerations apply to the risk of complications following abortion. Although most abortions are ostensibly performed to "protect the pregnant woman from injury to her health", accurate morbidity statistics show abortion causes more illness than it cures! Thus, the complications recorded among 946 women who underwent abortion (600 in England (3) and 346 in South Australia(4)), included damage to the cervix or uterus in 14 cases (necessitating hysterectomy in four women), excessive blood loss in 111 patients (44 patients4.6 per cent of the total—required blood transfusion), and infection in 166 patients (16.3 per cent of the total). In four patients the infective complication was either septicaemia, peritonitis or a pelvic abscess—all of which are threatening to life. In addition, 53 women (5.6 per cent of the total) required a second operation37 re-evacuations of the uterus because of bleeding, two re-sutures of broken down abdominal wounds, 10 laparotomies because of bowel obstruction, damage to the uterus, etc., and the four hysterectomies mentioned above.
LATE SECWELAE OF ABORTION These 946 women were followed up for a maximum period of eight weeks after their abortion. Even in that short period, 231 women (24.6 per cent of those studied) suffered at least one significant complication, while some of the women suffered from two or more of the complications described. Nevertheless, these statistics do not provide a full and complete picture of the hazards associated with abortion. They do not include late sequelae of abortion, such as cervical incompetence ( a condition in which the woman suffers from recurrent miscarriages and in which she is often unable to carry a child to term), sterility (which is quite common after abortion and which, needless to remark, prevents the woman from conceiving a child at all), or rupture of the uterus which may occur, unexpectedly, in a subsequent pregnancy. Neither, for that matter, do the statistics include late psychiatric sequelae— yet psychiatric illness must surely be extremely common after abortion. Abortion involves the destruction—at the request of his own mother—of a living human child. Such a procedure must affect the psyche of any woman who retains any vestige of maternal affection at all. Accordingly, it is common sense psychology to expect a high incidence of psychiatric sequelae following abortion — whatever the indication for which the abortion was induced. Furthermore, when psychiatric illness results from abortion, it is extremely hard to cure. The cause of this illness (the abortion) cannot be removed. The unborn child, once murdered, cannot be restored to life. These various considerations prove that the Catholic Church's unfinching opposition to abortion is fully justified. Abortion Acts—such as those of England and of South Australia—do not protect pregnant women from death or from injury to their health. Instead, they encourage the deliberate murder of innocent unborn children and no one— least of all the would-have-been-mothers —is any better off.
For this reason (among others) all thoughtful and responsible people must surely echo Pope Paul's opinion and declare unequivocally that: "Above all, directly willed and procured abortion, even if for therapeutic reasons, is to be absolutely excluded as a licit means of regulating birth." (5)
ARGUMENTS OF ABORTIONISTS These figures have been published elsewhere, and they have been challenged by proponents of abortion. Accordingly, I shall mention the two objections put forward and answer them, so that readers who are confronted with similar arguments will be forewarned. The first objection was raised by a doc-
by Dr. L. Hemingway, M.B., B.S., Warrnambool, Victoria. tor in the Medical Journal of Australia. He claimed the British mortality and morbidity figures do not provide a true picture of the relative risks of pregnancy and abortion, because sick women would be inclined to have abortions, while healthy women would be more inclined to allow their pregnancies to proceed. This claim sounds reasonable on superficial examination, but it is invalid for several reasons: • First, if only sick women seek abortions, then a vast number of women healthy enough to indulge in pre- or extra-marital sexual intercourse must become ill quite suddenly when pregnancy follows their immoral act. One is forced into this unlikely conclusion because no less than 55.7 per cent of the 138,008 women aborted in England and Wales in 1969-70 were either single, widowed, divorced or separated from their spouse. • Secondly, if the women having abortions were ailing at the time, then this fact would be revealed in the mortality and morbidity statistics. Women would not suffer death or injury from abortion, but would succumb to pre-existing medical or surgical complaints. Nevertheless, studies of abortion morbidity (such as the ones mentioned above) reveal a vast number of complications due to abortion, and no complications due to pre-existing conditions. These studies, therefore, reveal quite clearly it is the abortion itself, and not some pre-existing condition, that injures many women who submit to abortion and brings others to a sudden and untimely end. • A third fact that proves abortion does not save mothers' lives comes from an examination of maternal mortality statistics. Thus, statistics from England and Wales show that maternal mortality ( exclusive of abortion) has fallen steadily, from 32.5 per 100,000 live births in 1959 to 13.1 per 100,000 live births in 1970. These figures reveal there was no unusual decrease in maternal mortality in 1968— the year in which the Abortion Act first came into force. • Fourthly, the same statistics indicate that maternal mortality can be expected to decrease still further, as the care available to women during pregnancy and labour continues to improve. In other words, if present trends continue, then maternal mortality must eventually decline to vanishing point. These considerations give the lie to the
The Churches and apartheid
horror stories perpetuated in defence of legalised abortion. Pregnancy is not a hazardous procedure, and, in modern times, virtually all pregnancies can be safely managed by conservative means. This being so, there is no justification whatever for abortion— "therapeutic" or otherwise. Doctors do not amputate infected arms, legs or other important organs, if conservative management will cure the infection in a few weeks or months and allow the patient to keep his limb intact. They should not, therefore, wilfully destroy unborn babies, when the conservative management of pregnancy produces satisfactory results.
HUNGARIAN STATISTICS The second argument against the validity of these figures was put forward by a writer to a daily paper in Melbourne, Victoria. This writer claimed that, once abortion is legalised then doctors soon acquire skill at performing abortions, so that the operation becomes less hazardous as time goes by. She supported her claim with figures from Hungary where, in 1967, the death rate from legal abortion was alleged to be 0.6 per 100,000, as compared with 30 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. (6) This argument reveals a callous and unmitigated disregard for human life, health and happiness—for three reasons: • First, no improvements in technique can overcome the psychiatric complica•lr ‘ ns of abortion. And these complications are frequent, serious and difficult to cure. • Secondly, a possible future decrease in the physical risks of abortion would not provide any consolation to the woman killed or maimed while doctors were gaining increasing experience at performing abortions. Indeed, such a woman could rightly claim that the increasing experience was gained at her expense. • Thirdly, in Hungary the number of babies aborted exceeds the number allowed to live, and it is this fact which has made abortion safer than confinement in that particular country. This being so, one can only wonder what motives people who look forward to the day when abortion could be equally common in other parts of the world. Their attitude towards human life is difficult to understand.
ILLEGAL ABORTION Advocates of legalised abortion claim it is better for women to be aborted in clean, clinical conditions rather than for them to patronise a "backyard" abortionist. Accordingly, they advance this as a "lesser of two evils" argument in favour of abortion law reform. However, even this argument in invalid, because legalised abortion does not curtail the activities of backyard abortionists. "Legal" abortions in England increased from 89 per day in 1968 to 230 per day in 1970. Nevertheless, women still patronised clandestine operators ,and, during 1969-70, at least 26 women died at the hands of criminal abortionists in England and Wales. These figures, too, should surely make the protagonists of legalised abortion stop to think. They should also provide encouragement to those who seek to have the concept of "legal" abortion deleted forever from the statute books.
