GOOD NEWS! Here is the new Bible! The Good News Bible is set to become a Publishing sensation. It will probably become the world's all-time bestseller. Fifteen years of toil and sweat, of painstaking scholarship and selfless dedication, and many thousands of dollars were spent to produce a version of the Bible that people will USE — a Bible that 20th century man can turn to and find age-old help and comfort in language he can understand. The potential market is enormous — 600m. people who use English either as their mother tongue or as a second language. The bare production statistics are hard to grasp. How do you visualise 1,000 tonnes of paper — lightweight paper? Is it any clearer seen as 250 elephants? Clear or not, it's a lot of paper and that's only the amount used in William Collins' print run of almost 11-m. copies -- all of which were expected to be sold in the U.K. and Commonwealth countries by Christmas. It is even harder to visualise the many more tonnes (or elephants) needed for the American Bible Society's planned production of 10m. copies in the first year. It's doubtful whether there has ever been a bigger initial print order for any book. It's obvious that the Bible Societies are making sure they won't be caught out this time. The initial print run was 150,000 copies. Within five months lm. copies had been distributed in the U.S. and abroad. Still it kept selling. Within 12 months sales were at 5m. and the book had gone through 21 printings. Six months later sales wefe pushing past the 10 million mark and orders were pouring in at the rate of more than 13,000 a day. In 1971 it topped Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care as the bestselling paperback in publishing history. Today, more than 50m. copies have been sold worldwide. The Bible Society began work in November 1961.

The task was given to a former missionary to Brazil serving on the society's translation staff, Dr. Robert Bratcher. Bratcher set to work turning the Greek text of the New Testament into the language of modern man. It took him two and a half years, working mainly at home. The evening meal at the Bratcher home became a good-humoured review panel. Mrs. Bratcher or one of the children would read aloud the day's work. Bratcher noted where they hesitated over a phrase; later he would change it. Following family approval for a section of the manuscript, Bratcher would send it to the Bible Society who would send copies to 20 outstanding Bible scholars and translators. All suggestions from these people were carefully considered and sometimes incorporated, but the bulk of the text is as Bratcher translated it. In November 1967, little more than a year after the New Testament was published, Bratcher and seven other translators started work on the Old Testament. The task of the Bible Society in Australia has only just started as far as the Good News Bible is concerned. More than 200,000 copies — soft and hard cover — will arrive in Australia in the next few months, The Society's National Distribution Centre in Revesby, Sydney, will have to handle a weight of stock equal to a normal year's turnover. that will probably become the "people's Bible-, a book that will probably become the "people's bible", a book that is the most significant Bible translation since the King James Version of 1611; and a book that has within it the power to change people and to add a new dimension to their lives. The magnitude of the task Of translating, producing and distributing the Good News Bible is nothing compared to what this Bible in today's English can accomplish in the world.

Anglican Primate Pope rejects plea on "limits" to for patriarchate prolonging life

FROM PAGE 6 . . .

VATICAN CITY (NC). — In a face-toface meeting with Cardinal Josip Slipyi, and six other Ukrainian-rite bishops, Pope Paul said he would not grant their request to establish a Ukranian patriarchate. Pope Paul asked the bishops — who, sources say, had petitioned the Pope to establish the patriarchate and permit ordination of married men — to rally around his decision regarding the controversial patriachate.

Monsignor J. T. McMahon says:

In the last days of ihe old year, before we face the New Year, let us have a spiritual stocktaking. The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a splendid model for this medication. Eating the husks the swine did eat gave the Prodigal such a jolt as he sat down among the pigs; and, for the first time since he left home, he began to think. "And returning to himself, he saids 'How many servants in my Father's home have plenty to eat and drink, whileI sit here with the pigs, forced by hunger to eat what they eat.' "I will arise and go to my Father and say to him: 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before Thee, take me back as one of your hired servants.' " Prodigal Son. The growing to manhood, had heard his wise and kindly father advising and warning him, but those words had passed over him like waves washing over a smooth rock. His father was a fussy old man, oldfashioned, and silly, to things such imagine could happen to him. With his pockets filled and his mind empty, the Prodigal Son set out in a gay mOod from his home. He spent freely. and around him gathered the hangers-on to flatter him as lone as the money lasted. and to desert him as soon as the money was finished. It needed the hard lot o f the swineherd to make him think.

BEEN!"

to "And returning himself", that is, looking in upon himself, taking everyputting stock, thing on paper, as it were, balancing his personal budget. This was the first serious meditation he had ever made. It was a fruitful meditation, for its result was an honest act of humble sorrow with a firm purpose of amendment. He got to his feet. told his employer that he was leaving, and on the way home we can hear him saying over and over again: "What a fool I've been: oh! what a fool."

A FOUNDATION Have you ever said to yourself, said it and meant it: "Oh! What a fool I've been"? If you have, and said it in humility, you have laid the foundation of building yourself into a better and finer person. Looking back over the year, all of us, with profit, can say: "What fools we've been!" We have made mistakes. but we should learn from them. The man who thinks that he never makes mistakes is a man to be pitied. On the last day of the old year. the real question for us to ask. is: "How can I learn from my mistakes? How can I avoid them in the .,'ear that is coming?" Foresight is better and less expensive than hindsight. Mistakes cost pain and sorrow. and we should welcome anything that makes us think: any jolt, shock. pain, a cross that pulls us up dead; and makes

us, like the Prodigal, return to ourselves to think things over. Here is a New Year Motto for all of us: I asked the New Year To give some motto sweet — Some Rule of Life By which to guide my feet: I asked and paused. It answered soft and low: "God's Will to Know." "Will knowledge, then, Suffice for me?" I cried, And paused again. But e'er the question died, The answer came: "Nay, this remember. too; God's Will to do." Once more I asked: "Is this all you've to And once again The answer sweetly fell: "Yes, this one thing — 'Tis all the rest above — God's Will to love." Here are three ideals: God's Will to know. God's Will to do. God's Will to love. That should illuminate the path that lies ahead in the New Year. They will shine as stars upon our lives, beckoning us on as the Star did the Three Wise Men: assuring us that, following this path, we shall find peace of soul: not the fleeting and false peace of sense-gratification, of worldly ambition. and pride: but the abiding peace of the companionship and friendship of Christ. The great Dante with a poet's vision teaches us that "In his Will is Another peace." our

great name, St. Augustine speaks from a life during which he warmed both hands at the fires of pleasure and pride: "Thou hast created us for Thyself, 0 Lord, and our hearts cannot find rest until they find rest in Thee."

SWEET MUSIC

But, above all saints and writers, rings the sweet music of the welof words coming • Christ: "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened. and I will refresh you." Here is the doorway to peace this coming year. Let us open each day with the fervent cry of the man born blind: "Lord, that I may see!" Lord, that I may see this day, its cares and duties, its free moments and leisure, in the light of the star of Thy Wisdom. But, seeing what is to be done is not enough. We must ask Him to help us to do it. Let us say to Him: 'lord, that I may hear. Lord, open the door of my heart, that I may hear Thy whispered invitation to do a little more for you. Make me generous this day. And, above all else, let us say each day: -Lord, kindle in my heart the fire of Thy divine love. We may know His Will; we may even do His Will; but. unless the doing power that propels us on is our love for Him, we shall not persevere.' So. let our morning prayer be: Lord, that I may see. Lord. that I may hear. Lord. that I may do. THY WILL THIS DAY.

VATICAN 11[SHUFFLE

VATICAN CITY (NC). — Pope Paul VI has breathed new life into two Vatican organisms established experimentally to promote initiatives charted by Vatican Council II, by giving them new constitutions and a permanent status. The most fundamental changes, contained in two papal "motu proprio" decrees released here Dec. 16, concern the Council of the Laity. A "motu proprio" decree is one issued by a pope on his own initiative. Pope Paul has raised the council to the level of a "quasi-congregation" with important new responsibilities regarding Church laws on the laity and the settlement of disputes involving the laity.

JUSTICE & PEACE In a second decree, Pope Paul clarified the part to be played by the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace. The decree broadens the competence of the commission, which was set up as a papal study centre and watch-dog in the field of human rights. But it also requires the commission to get clearance from the papal Secretariat of State prior to making any statements on specific violations of human rights.

SEPARATE HEADS The decrees call for both the council and the commission to be headed by separate cardinalpresidents resident in Rome. They were both previously headed by Cardinal Maurice Roy of Quebec. Newly-created Cardinal Opilio Rossi, 66, will take over the presidency of the Laity Council. Born in New York City of Italian immigrant parents who left the United States soon after their son's birth, Cardinal Rossi was papal nuncio to Austria before being named to the college of cardinals.

AFRICAN HEAD The Justice and Peace Commission will be headed by African Archbishop Bernardin Gantin, 54. Archbishop Gantin, former head of the Cotonou, Dahomey, archdiocese, has been vice-president of the Justice and Peace Commission for almost a year. He will have the title of propresident — a designation given to bishops who fill a post slated for a cardinal. Most such bishops eventually receive the red hat. Archbishop Gantin is believed to be the first black African to head a major office of the Roman Curia. the Church's central administrative body.

FAMILY POWERS The Vatican Committee for the Family — another Vatican body established on an experimental basis — will be incorporated into the Laity Council, according to the papal motu proprio. Canadian Bishop Edouard Gagnon will continue to head the Committee for the Family as vice president, working under Cardinal Rossi. Among the important new powers given the Laity Council in the motu proprio, entitled Apostolatus Peregendi, are: • The power to settle disputes involving laity through arbitration on the administrative level; • The task of encouraging a more effective presence of lay people in the Church's liturgical, sacramental, catechetical and educational activity;

• Powers to deal with questions concerning parish or diocesan pastoral councils; • The job of serving as Vatican go-between with international and national Catholic organisations of all types — including those which have some priest-members.

LAITY

Cardinal Rossi will carry out these and other tasks with the help of a three-cardinal board, a group of mostly lay "members" and a number of consultors — most of them lay people. The three cardinal board members are Cardinal Ugo Poletti, Pope Paul's vicar for the Rome diocese; Cardinal Eduardo Pironio, prefect of the Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes, and Cardinal Joseph Schroeffer, former secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education.

BOTH SEXES

Regarding appointment of the yet-to-be named members and consultors, the decree specifically states that -a suitable proportion of men and women" Must be chosen. It is believed to be the first papal constitution for a permanent Vatican body ever to demand equal representation of the sexes. The decree for the Justice and Peace Commission is considerably broader than the vague outline of the commission's role given in 1967 at its founding.

STUDIES

The motu proprio charges the commission with carrying out "action-oriented studies" in the field of • Justice, • The development of peoples, • Human advancement, peace and • Human rights. After a "theological evaluation" of these studies, the commission is to help all facets of the Church "translate into concrete commitments" specific findings of the commission. The document stresses that the commission is to have "regular organic contacts" with national and regional bishops' conferences and 'regular links" with the papal Secretariat of State.

CONFLICT

Occasionally the commission has come in conflict with one or the other group over a controversial initiative. While the commission is charged with gathering information "on denial of justice, violation of human rights and injustices occurring in concrete situations," it can make statements on specific violations only after "coming to an agreement with the Secretariat of State."

LISTENING

At a press conference at the Vatican Dec. 16, Archbishop Gantin said that the Justice and Peace Commission's mandate is very different from that of other Vatican bodies since it is neither juridical nor administrative, nor is it limited to a specific geographical sphere or class of people. "It has rather the task of attentive listening, of study, of proclamation and encouragement wherever justice and peace find their vital dimension," according to the archbishop. The Vatican also announced that a new list of members and consultors of the Justice and Peace Commission is being prepared.

The recent changes ordered by Pope Paul VI conscious papal Secretariat of State before speakin the constitutions of the Vatican Council of the ing out on any specific violations of human laity and its Justice and Peace Commission left rights. some winners and some losers.
