The future of vocations; a call to prayer
Priests and Religious are a gift from God to His people. If we want those gifts we must pray as a community to "the Father of lights from whom every good and perfect gift descends."

NATURAL CONTROL
'
STRASBOURG, France (NC).— An international group of leading Catholic journalists has appealed to the Vatican to make its documents clearer and more understandable. The action came in one of two resolutions passed unanimously at the annual meeting here of the council of the International Catholic Union of the Press (UCIP). In the second resolution the council voiced serious concern that a declaration under debate by the United Nations Scientific Educational and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) fails to harmonise the rights of journalists to work freely without interference.
prompted the council action had been criticised and even ridiculed in much of the media. Several internationally known moral theologians had protested what they considered to be the declaration's negative tone. Bishop Andrew Deskur, president of the Commission Pontifical for Social Communications, told council participants in Strasbourg that he was personally pleased by the resolution.
DISSATISFACTION
The Vatican's highest communications official said that the ideas "corresponded to a hope I for expressed have years." The language chosen in Vatican documents, said the resolution, often "fails to sufficiently sensitise the Christian community" to the meaning of the documents. It further urged Catholic journalists to present Vatican documents to the public creatively and responsibly.
The first resolution reflected dissatisfaction by many council members over the Vatican's working and public presentation of a declaration restating the Church's ban on homosexual acts, masturbation and premarital sex. The UCIP council asked the Vatican to let communications specialists participate in the writing of Vatican documents "to insure a better understanding of them by the public."

ation on the use of the media to promote peace and to discourage war, racism and apartheid. Press freedom and the freedom of individual journalists to work without constraints from government, or from economic interests, were not clearly spelled out in the draft, the council said. The council, which reaffirmed its commitment to help the Catholic Press in the Third World, was told by a Third World delegate that the • problems of Catholic journalism in Africa are "catastrophic."
THIRD WORLD Council member Alcino da Costa, from Senegal, said that the French-language Catholic Press is in "a moribund state." Mr. Da Costa cited political and economic problems as paramount difficulties. The soaring costs of paper afflicting newspapers throughout the world is a more acute problem for the Third World, which must pur-, chase paper stocks from the developed countries, he said.

The car and Christ It seems that the festivals of Easter and Christmas, great in the past, are being submerged in a flood of words about one solitary topic — road traffic. Starting some 48 hours in advance, the holiday pause for Christian reflection has become a fourday dirge about one subject — the number of cars or their absence, coming or going, bottle-necked, stranded, flooded, wrecked or whatever. There is little opportunity for a lonely voice to cry out, and be heard, that some members of the community are remembering in various ways the great moments of their Saviour, Jesus Christ. Figures of prominence occupy centre stage for nearly a week, lamenting almost no other problems on earth than the state of road traffic, the inevitable accidents and every related matter.

With politics and business out of the way for the holiday, the news departments of Press, radio and television appear to have a compulsion that the subject of road traffic will dominate the news — whether the accident rate is up or down no matter. It is obviously no comfort for police, ambulance or fire services to anticipate the grisly scenes that they will meet over the religious holidays.
Their work is not necessarily made any easier nor is their burden necessarily lightened by fruitless preoccupation at these times with issues that Adult religious education is likely to be the principal long-term objective of the Catholic should be, or should have been, considered at Pastoral !nstitute, according to the director, Father John Prendiville, S.J. more appropriate times.

NEW YORK (NC).— Some 700 women, an estimated 75 per cent of them nuns, expressed strong support here for the ordination of women to the Catholic priesthood as a "justice issue."

700, many of them nuns, support; justice issue"
They said that the issue impelled examining the whole concept of priesthood and the status of .women in the Church. A study day at Christ the King High School was one of several follow-up regional meetings to a meeting in Detroit last December when more than 1,200 supporters of women's ordination began a national educational effort. In a keynote talk, Mercy Sister Elizabeth Carroll of Pittsburgh, said that a "theological movement" was taking place favouring the testing of women's vocations ter the priesthood.
But, she said, it was being ignored by most bishops. "The claim is not that every woman has a Godgiven right to the priesthood," she said. "The claim is that any woman has the same right to have her call to ordination tested as any man has. "Justice certainly requires that we hear the arguments. "Otherwise, all the dark fears from primordial myth and inadequate knowledge that are incorporated in the patristic and medieval tradition about women are revived."
The "proper place for women in the Church" was not participation but in "questioning of that system of priestly relations which leaves many young ordained feeling as oppressed as women do." Sicter Carroll said that a post-Detroit meeting between the national task force on women's ordination and Bishop James Rausch, general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB), had been productive but that the "national picture . . is varied and quite t ense."
The commemoration of the fact that it was Anzac the inegoc re f othedtaeyd off celebraDay was left until the evenw tions. conducted At 7.30 p.m. Devotions old Cathedral. The preacher on the occasion was Father Hanni. gan, CSSR, who had given three years' war service as a chaplain. The largest group of Australian prelates ever to gather for an Anzac service until that time joined in the observance. Benediction was given by Archbishop Daniel Man. nix, of Melbourne, and all then stood for the sounding of the Last Post. Then four years passed until on May 4, 1930 the cathedral was ready for the opening ceremonies, Once more the prelates gathered. A Pontificial High Mass at 11 a.m., was sung by Archbishop Robert Spence, 0.P., of Adelaide with Archbishop James Duhig of Brisbane as preacher. A choir directed by Mr. Sydney Smith (with Mr, Arthur Taylor at the organ), sang Schubert's "Mass in A Flat." Two men who were to contribute greatly to the Church in years to come were among the lesser participants on the opening day. One was the young Administrator of the Cathedral, Father Redmond Prendiville, who won great praise by his handling of the total proceedings. The other was the leader of the ten-piece orchestra of strings and brass which accompanied choir and organ. He was Mr. Albert Lynch who soon afterwards went to Rome, was ordained priest, and over the years has made many valuable contributions to Church music. Another well-known priest present was Monsignor Edmund Sullivan, of West Perth, who as Father Sullivan was M.C. of ceremonies on the opening day. He was assisted by Father Kelly and Mr. Alfred Oldrini. Mr. Oldrini became a cathedral altar boy in 1900 at the age of ten years. He had been Cathedral MC, since 1911. At 3 p.m. before a crowd estimated by the police as numbering 20,000, Archbishop Clune blessed and opened his new cathedral. The pride of the new structure was the lady Chapel which commemorates the fact that Perth had the first cathedral in the Catholic world formally dedicated to the Immaculate Conception after the Promulgation of this Dogma. This building, so honoured on June 17, 1855, which was built originally as St. John's Church, still stands in Victoria Avenue.
Popular myths about marriage challenged NEWARK, NJ. (NC).— Author-lecturer Clayton Barbeau challenged some popular myths about marriage in talks delivered at the national convention of family life directors from dioceses across the United States. According to Barbeau, author of the recently published book, "Creative Marriage in the Middle Years," four major ideas about marriage are currently widespread: • That formal civil or religious marriage is "just a scrap of paper;" • That there is a "fantastic divorce rate," as indicated by a recent news story saying there were one million divorces and two million marriages in the country last year; • That longer life expectancy makes it unreasonable expect to couples to remain together until death; and, • That the aim of marriage is to make people happy.
"TEAR IT UP, BY ALL MEANS" 'The bearded father of eight said: "If the scrap of paper line is all marriage means to young people, they have a very shallow view, "If all the marriage document means is a licence to sleep together, Ithen tear it up by all § means. "But marriage is much $ more than this; it is first 1 and foremost an unquali1 fled 'yes' to a commitment for the good of an!other person. The ceremon)/ is simply the pub-
lie acknowledgement of that commitment." On the divorce rate, Barbeau said that the figures could be read differently. "One of every three divorces involves a teenager; half involve couples under 24.
