RECORD
"Prisoners of conscience" At their national conference in Sydney last week, the Australian Catholic bishops drew attention to the plight of prisoners of conscience in various parts of the world and to violations of human r ights. Last December the celebrated the world t wenty-fifth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," the bishops said. "Throughout the world people seem to be becoming more sensitive in the matter of human rights — at least as regards some of the grosser violations. "One category of violations of human rights which have been arousing increasing attention suffered those are throughout the world by prisoners of conscience. Such people are often the 'silent, indeed voiceless, injustice' of victims whom the bishops at the 1971 Synod especially commend to 'our action'. "In Australia there is plenty of scope for prorecognising in gress rights and their corresThis ponding • duties. does not mean that we should be unconcerned about the problem of prisoners of conscience throughout the world.
THE REDS "We draw attention to the plight of our often forgotten brothers who are imprisoned or intimidated in Communist countries because of their religious affiliation. -The 1971 Synod of bishops reminded us that in many areas justice is seriously injured with regard to people who are suffering persecution for faith or who are in many ways being ceaselessly subjected by political parties and public authorities to an action of oppressive atheisation or who are deprived of religious liberty either by being kept from honouring God in public worship or by being prevented from teaching or
spreading their faith or being prohibited from conducting their temporal affairs according to the principles of their religion.
OPPOSITION "From many places in almost every continent reports are received that people are being imprisoned or punished because they are opposed to the Government in power. "There is no uniformity in the status of these They Governments. range from those entrenched Governments striving to protect the established minority, to embryonic and those fragile administrations emerging from colonial rule or revolution. "Under very special circumstances, and then only rarely, emergency situations might occur Govern ment s where could adopt extraordinary preventive measures if the safety of the community is clearly at risk. -Collective judgment as to the innocence or guilt of these prisoners cannot be made.
NO TRIAL "Clearly while some may pose as champions of freedom to cover unjustified violence against their brothers, many are innocent of any crime other than that of opposing the Government in power. "Our concern is for all prisoners but particularly for those who are held without trial, who are kept in prison after they have served their sentence. who are imprisoned for long periods on mere suspicion, who are imprisoned merely for making valid criticisms of the Govern-
ment in office, who are indiscriminately imprisoned simply as a tactic to intimidate the population and make them compliant. "We also deplore governmental suppression of educators and leaders working at the local level to increase people's awareness (conscientization) and facilitate their participation in their rtue liberation.
TORTURE -The worst aspects of these abuses are the reports of brutal and inhuman treatment of these prisoners and of the use of torture. No use of torture can ever be justified. -Pope Paul and a number of bishops around the world have been condemning the use of torture. We are not naming countries where this bestiality is said to be practised as it may tend to unintentionally those not exonerate mentioned. "We commend the efforts of those who have been campaigning for the effective abolition of torture. We condemn in the name of Christian justice those who know they have been guilty of this crime against humanity. "We note recurring reports of large numbers of prisoners of conscience being held without trial. We appeal to the governments of those countries concerned to grant all prisoners a fair and speedy trial, and when a just decision has been reached, to release the innocent without delay and to ensure that those found guilty are humanely treated while in custody.( • Pornography statement, Page 8)

FREDERICK CHMELICEK, A TRAGIC MISSIONARY

Quite a number of clerical characters have played a part in the Catholic history of this State since the beginning of the Church here in 1843. One of this interesting group of individualists, and surely the most pathetic in death was the present-day from missionary the Rev. Father Frederick Joseph Chmelicek, a volunteer Czechoslovakia.
man wrote — "Your Lordship will perceive that this congregation is small and poor." "Williams, Eticup and Wandering to whom I have communicated your letter have till now nothing at all subscribed for my support, and because I cannot fly through the air and cannot live on wind I am unable to vis. it them. He continues "The farmers are in general poor and indebted, many of them bankrupt, and it is impossible to get one penny from them."

Why not study the booklet in your own parish? • The booklet contains the following four discussion topics: 1) 2) 3) 4)
Is peace possible? Peace in our own lives. Australia and Defence. If you want peace work for justice.

They said that they strongly supported all politicians and community organisations seeking "to maintain Christian standards against the attacks of pornography -. The statement was issued at St. Paul's Seminary, Kensington. N.S.W.. where the bishops are holding their half-yearly conference. "Pornographers are the real opponents of individual freedom,- the bishops said. "It is a mistaken notion of liberty to allow them to project on to the community the products of sick and disordered minds." They said hat a community had the right and duty to protect itself from internal attacks on its integrity and its standards of decency. Here is there statement: Pornography is basically a perverted and destructive presentation of human sexuality and inter-personal relationships. As such, it is an affront to common decency. It is an attack on the dignity of every person in the community; it encourages its readers to think of and to treat others as things and not as persons. Any civilised community has the right to demand that such debasement of human dignity not be tolerated. In common with many other countries, Australia is now experiencing the trend towards the vicious type of pornography involving sex with violence and brutality. Despite attempts to present it as a purely private interest of the individual, pornography is clearly and rightly a matter of widespread public concern. Governments are responsible for serving the common good of society. They should maintain proper standards of decency as part of that common good. It is well known that pornography has become a very profitable business financially for its purveyors. So often the loudest appeals for freedom for pornography come from those who stand to make most money from the sale of it. A particular evil of the trade as its commercial exploitation of sex, involving in most cases the degradation of women to become mere playthings of men. A debased presentation of woman reduces her to an object to be used, with no respect for her as a person with an individual emotional, psychological and rational personality. Pornography, whether it be for private use or for public display and sale, is an insult to all women. Parents are rightly concerned that the society in which their children are growing up may be conditioned into accepting as normal the dehumanised and loveless view of sex that pornographers are free to present indiscriminately. It is time to reject entirely the myth that pornography liberates the individual from past inhibitions and frustrations about sex, and that it serves a good therapeutic function for the solitary, alienated and maladjusted person. Pornography is a disordered and anti-human r epresentation of sexuality and of the person, capable only of warping further the individual's maladjustment and of retarding the integration of his sexuality into his full personal development. Pornographers are the real opponents of individual freedom; it is a mistaken notion of liberty to allow them to project on to the community the products of disordered and sick minds. A community has the right and duty to protect itself from internal attacks on its integrity and its standards of decency. We maintain that societies tolerating such disorders and obsessed with sex produce a climate in which people become less interested in the true meaning of life and love. The Catholic Bishops of Australia strongly support all politicians and community organisations seeking to maintain Christian standards of decency against the attacks of pornography. We urge Federal and State Governments to respond positively to the growing public demand for responsible curbs on the spread of pornography.
"Last Christmas" he writes. "I sent a cheering card to my dear friend Father Chmelicek, signing: "In Christian Fellowship." "The dear old man wrote back a most affectionate letter in which he strongly urged me to and Newman follow others into the pure light of the Roman Catholic Communion."

"I shall be grateful if you will thank on my behalf the good people of Kojonup who have taken this matter up." It is unlikely now, due to loss of correspondence etc., that we shall ever know what really happened in Kojonup, but it seems certain that the priest was innocent of any charge except disobedience to the Bishop, who thereafter received the support of Rome.
On the 10th. June, 1909, the late Dean, then Father Michael Reidy, parish priest of Katanning and the Kojonup district, came over and buried this tragic figure on the hill near his former presbytery, which still stands today. The Noonan family had a small burial area here. Father Frederick Josea Chmelicek and several of the family rested there until their bodies were transferred to the Kojonup Cemetery.

Mr. McDonald said that the introduction of lay principals into Catholic primary schools was a positive step in the development of Catholic education. "This innovation will free a number of religious from the responsibilities of administration," he said. "They will be able to devote more time to the pastoral work which is an integral part of their teaching vocation. While we recognise the excellent contribution the religious can make as administrators it is important for us to consider the wishes of individuals and the overall needs of the schools when making staffing decisions." Mr. McDonald said that the decision to appoint lay principals and deputy principals in Catholic primary schools in 1974 was taken - 04car4p.c.pwi vitAriN after discussions with the provincials of the orders school • and concerned AGENTS DELIVERY boards.
