DEFEND LIFE IF YOU WANT PEACE —Pope Paull "If you want peace, defend life", Pope Paul proclaims in his message for World Day of Peace next weekend. "Life is the crown of peace. If we base the logic of our activity on the sacredness of life, war is virtually disqualified as a normal and habitual means of asserting peace." The Pope has praise for "the effort already begun to reduce and finally to eliminate this senseless cold war resulting from the progressive increase of the military potential of the various nations, as if these nations should necessarily be the enemies of each other. "But it is not only war that kills peace", t he Pope continues. "Every crime against life is o blow to peace, especial ly if it strikes at the moral conduct of people, as it happens in the suppression of life, by abortion."

THE RECORD

Leaders of an "Order" defy Vatican ban to ordain bishops; one 17 years old SEVILLE (NC). — Defying a Vatican bon, leaders of the "Carmelite Order of the Holy Face" have illegally ordained three more bishops including a 17-year-old youth — and nine priests. At ceremonies in October and November at Palmar de Troya near here, the head of the "order," Clemente Dominguez, also presided over the religious consecration of 13 nuns. Palmar is the site of alleged apparitions of Our Lady which have been disavowed by Church authorities. The leaders of the religious "order," which has no official Church recognition, are fighting against Church reforms which they claim are inspired by Freemasonry and Marxist tenets. The new ordinations, coupled with those previously announced by the group's leaders, bring the total of illegally, ordained bishops in the group to 46. The string of episcopal

ordinations was started last year by retired Vietnamese Archbiship Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Thuc, now 79. He and those he ordained incurred an excommunication that could be lifted only by the Holy See. The archbishop subsequently declared his repentance, and his excommunication has been lifted. He is still forbidden, however, to perform any episcopal functions. The new illegally ordained bishops are an Irish youth, John Leo McGrath (17); a Swiss, Joseph Marie Pasquier (73); and another Irishman, Olan Healy (71). The latter were retired priests, Pasquier was ordained - in 1929 and

Healy in 1930. followed Dominguez the Roman Catholic rite in taking the vows of the new nuns and in the installation of their new mother superior, Frances O'Malley of Ireland. Most members of the order are Irish or Spanish, but there are also a few French, British and American citizens. Dominguez, a former accountant, lost his sight in an automobile accident in May, when he was returning from France. His expected healing at ceremonies a few weeks ago failed to materialise. Members of the order have run into difficulties with civil authorities because of a Spanish law forbidding impersonation of Church personnel.

HAT IS IN A NAME?

What's in a name? Most of us believe a name has little yet we select names with the utmost care for everything eaning; m — things, places, celebrations, important days.

Then with the passage of time. we often forget what they really mean. Christmas, for instance, has become such a commercialised holiday, that many have forgotten its real meaning — the time of the year we celebrate the birth. of Christ. during Nevertheless, the Christmas season we are prompted to take a fresh look into the meaning of names. We spend a lot of time the exactly _selecting right Christmas greeting cards, gifts for people who are special to us — names whose people bring their images to our minds. And for a little while. we interrupt our busy lives with thoughts of giving. All this because of one special child who came into the world so many years ago. The •Son of God whc deigned to share our humanity. The Son of God who brought with Him the message of peace and love. The Son of God who

gave Himself so that we might have eternal life with Him in Heaven. The Son of God who gave the supreme gift to mankind — Himself. There is power in Christmas. Power that calls us to give, to love. to think of "peace on earth" in the midst of a troubled world. 2.000 After nearly years, on Christmas day, churches throughout the world are crowded with people — people 'reflecting upon His life and His message. And the visions of a new heaven and a new earth suddenly spark our hope. We know that the faith and promise of centuries long ravaged by. time's will march relentless come again. Christmas means just t his. We are aware that the orld's great purpose will emerge. Lights brighten cities, homes. recalling the -star. that rested urion a cave in Bethlehem so many centuri -;s ago.

This is no ghost of a dead Christmas past. This is Christmas here and now. A day to share with those we love. And if we choose, all the days that follow the season can be tilled with love and sharing.. Christmas is not a day to tuck away until it comes again. All of our history and all of the names we recollect are centred on the name which Christmas brings. J esus. thou joy of loving hearts. Thou fount of life, thou light of men.

RECORD

Fred Gravestock, of Tuart Hill, has been appointed full-time diocesan youth worker. He takes over from Martin Spencer, who was appointed last March, and who will continue on a part-time basis as liaison officer, while resuming studies for secondary teaching.

Mr. Gravestock w:(s educated at Saint Kieran's school and later at Servite College." For the past four years he has been at the University of W.A.. taking a degree in arts and majoring in psychology. A full-time administrator for the diocesan youth office is felt to be necessary to organise training programmes and to inform parish groups on resources that are available for their "youth progammes. Fred Gravestock said that while he was interested professionally in psychology, he Was anxious to employ this interest in connection with youth. He said youth needed to be aware of themselves in relation to other people. It was very easy to belong to a peer group and a) follow group pressures: it was less easy for an individual to understand himself fully in relation to the group. It was also necessary to bring the dimension of God into his life, he said. Martin Spencer. said that since March this year. when he assumed his position, he had become aware of the need for youth groups not just to sta% by themselves. They needed to see themselves as part of the community and of the parish. There was a great potential. - he said. for youth to play its part in a parish, participating in the Mass. meeting the parents of fellom -youth and becoming more involved in the parish famih o f the Church.

V ATICAN CITY (NC). — A giant step toward finishing the vast revision of the Church's Code of Conon Law has just been completed here by international specialists. According to officials, study groups charged with rewriting the precanons 2,414 sent (laws) of the 60-yearold code have completed their task. The drafts submitted by the study groups, made up of about 100 clergy and lay experts from various fields, are now being sent to the world's bishops, to offices of the Roman Curia (the Church's central administration) and to Catholic universities for evaluation and criticism. The consultation with these groups is expected to take a year. The suggestions resulting from the consultation will then be analysed by the commission. "The time it takes for the commission to complete the analysis will simply depend upon whether we get back 1.000 or 10.000 r esponses," said Monsignor De Nicol°, a Vatican official. The present Code of Canon Law, which became the general law of the Church in 1917, lists the rights, duties and obligations of in the groups various Church from the Pope and bishops, to priests, Religious and associations of lay people.

Vatican Council stressed the 41k with Abraham's stock Below is the text of the section relating to the Jews in the Vatican II Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to NonChristian Religions, issued on October 28, 1965.

As this sacred Council searches into the mystery of the Church, it recalls t he spiritual bond linking the people of the New Covenant with Abraham's stock. For the Church of acknowledges Christ that, according to the mystery of God's saving design, the beginnings of her faith and her elertion are already found among the patriarchs, Moses, and the prophets. She professes that all who believe in Christ, Abraham's sons according to faith, are included in the same patriarch's call, and likewise that the salvation of the Church was mystically foreshadowed by the chosen people's exodus from the land of bondage. The Church, therefore, cannot forget that she received the revelation of the Old Testament through the people with whom God in His inexpressible mercy designed to establish the Ancient Covenant. Nor can she forget that she draws sustenance from the root of that good olive tree onto which have been grafted the wild olive branches of the Gentiles. Indeed, the Church believes that by His cross Christ, our Peace, reconciled Jew and Gentile.

making them both one in Himself. Also. the Church ever keeps in mind the works of the Apostle about his kinsmen. "who have the adoption as sons. and the glory and the covenant and the legislation and the worship and the promises; who have the fathers, and from whom is Christ according to the flesh", the son of the Virgin Mary. The Church recalls too that from the Jewish people sprang the apostles, foundation her stones and pillars, as well as most of the early disciples who proclaimed Christ to the world. As Holy Scripture testifies, Jerusalem did not recognise the time of her visitation, nor did the Jews in large number accept the gospel; indeed, not a few opposed the spreading of it. Nevertheless, according to the Apostle, the Jews still remain most dear to God because of their fathers,_ for He does not repent of the gifts He makes nor of the calls He issues. In company with the prophets and the same Apostle, the Church awaits that day, known to God alone, on which all peoples will address the Lord in a single voice and "serve him with one accord".

Since the spiritual patrimony common to Chris_ tians and Jews in thus so great, this sacred Synod wishes to foster and recommend that mutual understanding and respect which is the fruit above all of biblical and theological studies, and of brotherly dialogues. of t he True. at Jews and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ still, what happened in His passion cannot be blamed upon all the Jews then living, without distinction, nor upon the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as repudiated or cursed by God, as if such views followed from and Holy Scriptures. All should take pains, then, lest in catechetical instruction and in the preaching of God's Word they teach anything out of harmony with the truth of the gospel and the spirit of Christ. The Church repudiates all persecutions against Moreover, man. any mindful of her common patrimony with the Jews, and motivated by the gospel's spiritual love and by no political considerations, she deplores the hatred, persecutions, and

1 0,Pirsieseleve4, Mie.dONINIKite40,

displays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews at any time and from any source. Besides, as the Church has always held and continues to hold, Christ in His boundless love freely underwent His passion and death because of the sins of all men, so that all might attain salvation. It is. therefore, the duty of the Church's preaching to proclaim the cross of Christ as the sign of God's all-embracing love and as the fountain from which every grace flows.

MARCOS SHUTS TWO CATHOLIC WEEKLIES MANILA (NC). — Philippine President Marcos has, it is reported, assured the Papal Nuncio to his country, Archbishop Torpiglioni, that the Government will improve its co-ordination w t% the Catholic Church. The assurances came only three days after the Government closed two leading Catholic weeklies and less than three weeks after a series of other Government crackdowns that included the deportation of two Catholic priests, the closing of two Catholic radio stations, and the detention for questioning of 18 Catholic priests and laymen. Marcos reportedly told the Vatican representative that the recent actions were not part of a move against the Church itself, but only against certain individuals.

COMMUNION IN HAND

VATICAN CITY (NC). — The Vatican has authorised the bishops 43nferences of Ireland and Mexico to permit Communion in the hand, bringing the number of conferences with the approval to 43. The decision was announced in the magazine of the Vatican Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship. Under present Chu:ch law, two-thirds of a nation's voting bishops must request Vatican permission to institute t he practice in their countries. Because some of the bishops' conferences that have requested and received the permission i nclude more than one country, the total number of countries that have received permission is about fifty. es.~#4 041.411.4.04.0.1.4.41.#4,041., , 04 ,

Monsignor J. T. McMahon says:

THE RICH FRUITS OF THE ROSARY

Our devotion to Mary's Rosary wi II grow when we remember the rich fruits that are to be gathered from the p ractice of saying the beads. Here are some of those precious fruits. (1). It Restores and Deep-

ens Faith. It will increase our faith and restore that priceless gift to anyone who may have doubts and difficulties. The Rosary revived the redeemed and growth of faith in the 13th Century, when heresy, like a blight-laden fog. had withered it. Two centuries before Luther nailed his protest to a church door and let loose the forces which created the Protestant Reformation, the soul of France was scourged by a heresy which had all the horrors of a bitter civil revolution. The heresy, known as the Albigensian, denied the Trinity. the Incarnation and. therefore, Christianity itself. It loosened the bonds that bind society and urged .freedom from restraint in morals. It preached and practised licence. Such a creed had many followers; the nobleman favoured it and the peasant liked it. The heresy spread from castle. to cottage, from city to countryside. and in its wake came civic riots and bloodshed.

SAINT DOMINIC In the story of God's Church the waves of heresy have hurled themselves with the fury and v iolence of men's passion and, for a time. the Rock of Peter • seems to be submerged. But in every crisis God -sends His champion. who calms the waves and once again the sun shines on the steadfast rock. The champion chosen. by Providence was a 'Dominican monk. who came barefooted. with staff in hand. walking over the Appennines. and as he walked he prayed. From the peaks of the A ppennines he gazed down in pity on gentle France. that fair land. the eldest daughter of the Church. and a vision red and terrible brought tears to his eyes.

TORN LAND

A torn and distracted land lay at his feet: churches, monasteries. convents demolished: the abiding presence of God denied a tabernacle all gone in the red reek of religious war. And .this sad state not for a month, or a year. but for many years. It was a mighty task and its magnitude apalled the young monk. With confidence in God he began his mission. travelling back and forth the throughout land, preaching in city. town. and rustic village. and all to no purpose. • Disheartened, almost beaten, the young monk fell. crushed in spirit, before a statue of the Vir- gin. and appealed to the Mother of Mercy to show him a way to change the

hardened hearts of the heretics. And tradition has it that Mary appeared to the despondent monk and, handing him a Rosary beads, said: "Take this and teach the people the practice of the Rosary. Teach them to pray it, and, as they pray, to meditate on the Mysteries of the Life of My Divine Son. As the Hail Mary from the lips of the Archangel Gabriel was the beginning of the world's redemption, so should itbe the beginning of salvation for these heretics."

AMONG PEASANTS

And St. Dominic, for he was the monk, went forth with Mary's Rosary. and in the busy marketplace and in the quiet countryside, among the peasants, he gathered around him little groups to say the Rosary together. He discarded his arguments and relied solely on Mary's Rosary. Within a few years thousands came back to the practice of their faith, and the heresy that had almost strangled the life of faith in France was completely stamped out by the Rosary. What the Rosary did for France in its day of trial, it will do for us in our days of doubt and difficulties. Th r ough Mary we go to Jesus, and in that going is our salvation. For she is 'lama Coeli". the gateway to heaven, and there is no other way to enter.

SELF-DISCIPLINE

(2). It Teaches Restraint and Self-Discipline The second fruit of the practice of the Rosary is that it will curb our passions. It will teach us selfrestraint, self-discipline. self-control. That comes only from self-denial. and that is ever an onerous and distasteful discipline for all of us. And yet there is no sanctity without selfdenial. Mary's Rosary will lead us to accept sufferings with resignatfon, and t o impose upon ourselves some form of self-denial each day. and she will give us the strength to cheerfully. it accept Through Mary's Rosary we shall all learn to welcome crosses in His name and for His sake.

IN IRELAND

Looking back over history's pages for evidence of this special fruit of Mary's Rosary. I recall what happened in Ireland. When St. Patrick converted the land of the Irish in 432. he did so without the shedding of the blood of a single martyr. Ireland was not to be t he exception to the principle that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of faith. The growing tree first planted by St. Patrick had its baptism of blood some years later, when its limbs were pruned

with the knife of suffering, sorrow, and death. For five hundred years the baptism of blood and suffering continued that long throughout night of horror known as the penal days, when hell released all its diabolical forces in a vain endeavour to rob the people of their faith. -GUIDANCE (3). It Gives Guidance in Every Difficulty. In the darkest hour of World War I, a soldier entered a village church near the French command. His eyes growing accustomed to the dim light, for the shades of evening were falling, he saw the figure of a man with the beads in his hands, kneeling before a statue of the Virgin. Curiosity urged the soldier closer to discover that the man praying was Foch. Foch found time for his Rosary every day during those month of confusion among the allied command. Eventually he struck, and who outside heaven can say how much of his success was due to his Rosary?

PASTEUR

Louis Pasteur prefaced his research work by saying the Rosary. - And he died with the beads twined around his fingers. The father of bacteriology, the scientist who saved millions of lives and who refused to cornmercialise his discoveries. the most honoured name in Europe at his death. declared that in the meditations of the Rosary he found "the living springs of great thoughts and great actions." To his children he wrote: "The more I know, the more nearly is my faith that of the Breton peasant. "Could I but know all I would have the faith of the Breton peasant."

SOOTHING

(4). It Soothes and Refreshes a Tired Head. In this bustling age. with its extremes of noisy gaiety and silent gloom, when depression descends upon us; let us to the Rosary. so that Mary. our Mother. may lift up our hearts and send us again on our way refreshed. Faulhaber. Cardinal Archbishop of Munich. pays this tribute to the evening Rosary: "I confess to you, Catholic men, that when my head is tired and heavy with t he manifold duties of my daily work, and when at last in the evening I say the Rosary with my household. repeating ten times. and then ten times again. fifty times the same 'Hail Mary.' and meditating on those mysteries of our Redemption. that are ever old and ever new, then I find in this a true rest and it is is if the Mother of God lays her hand on the tired head and strokes away. weariness the Prayer is an art of living

which the unbeliever cannot know." (5). It breaks the Habit of Sin. We cannot continue to say the Rosary in the proximate occasion of sin. with the Persevere Rosary and the habit of sin must cease. The Rosary is a powerful weapon against sin. the Rosary Saying brings the habitual sinner to an abrupt pause, makes him think, and decide that he cannot salute Mary with: "Hail full of grace." and pursue a sinful life. How could we call her "full of grace" when we are conscious of mortal sin? How could we congratulate her with the words: "The Lord is with Thee," if we are forced to admit that God cannot be with us because we are in sin? How could we say: "Blessed art thou among women," and at the same time lead a life of sin? In such a case it would be better and more profitable to omit everything else and say only: "pray for us cin-

THE ENGAGED couples E ngaged should often say the Rosary together as a preparation for their marriage. If they persevere in this practice. the Rosary will keep them chaste with each other. The memory of the Rosary they have said will abide with them throughout the evening the spend together. Pope Pius XII. in his a udiences presented beads to newly married couples and exhorted them never to let a single day pass. despite the greatest fatigues and preoccupations, without reciting the Rosary. He also appealed to them to honour every anniversary of their marriage with a special Rosary to Mary in thanksgiving for her care during the past year.

BETTER TO GIVE 16). It Makes Us More Generous. We serve the God of generosity. Who loves the giving hand. Mary comes next to her Son in generosity. In her Rosary we shall learn the truth that it is better to give than to receive, and we shall experience the glow of giving. On her great days let us be generous enough to wish her a happy feast-day with the whole Rosary five decades in the forenoon. five later in the afternoon, and five in the evening family circle. It was the custom in the middle • ages. as the among formerly Romans. for noble personages to wear crowns of flowers called chaplets. These crowns were offered to persons of distinction as a feudal due. The Blessed Virgin. as Queen of Heaven, has a right to the same homage.
