Cardinal worked to save Red leader's life MILAN (NC). — Cardinal Colombo, of Milan, told Chilean Communist leader Luis Corvalan that both he and Pope Paul VI actively sought to save Corvalan's life when he was arrested by Chile's Right-wing military dictatorship. The Chilean leader was released from a Chilean prison last year in exchange for the liberation of a Soviet dissident, Vladimir Rnkovsky, from detention in the USSR. Cardinal Colombo told Corvalan that "we feared for the sufferings and the dangers inflicted on you and many of your countrymen, and we feared also for your life. According to the cardinal, the "only hope for coming to your aid was to have recourse to the Holy See. We did this, well aware of the humanitarian sense of Paul VI, an intrepid defender of man's fundamental rights. "The Vatican assured us nothing would be left undone in efforts to save you." The cardinal also thanked Corvalan for his public statements recognising the important role played by the Church and by Christians in Chile in the defence of human rights. He concluded by hoping that "better days will come when there will be no one oppressed in any country or in any part of the world because of their opinions based on conscience or their religious, social, or political choices." Corvalan has been living in Moscow since his liberation last year.

'Communists in priestly garb': noted Czech exile BERLIN (NC). — Sixty Cathlic priests in Czechoslovakia have had their permission to minister withdrawn by Communist officials in the last year, according to a Czech exile living here. Ludek Pachman, former Czechoslovakian grand master of chess, made that statement in an interview with the information bulletin Christus dem Osten ("Christ to the East") recently. Sources outside Czechoslovakia estimate that as mar.; as 500 priests living in that nation may be banned from exercising their ministry. Mr. Pachman also said in the interview that Catholic priests were under constant surveillance by Communist secretaries for religious affairs. They also risk an "in filtration" from the partyallied priests belonging to the movement Pacem in Terris (Latin for "Peace on Earth"). According to the exile, only 10 per cent of the priests in Czechoslovakia belong to the Pacem in Terris movement. But they have an important say in who can enter seminaries, he added. "They are Communists in priestly garb," Pechman said.

For engaged couples who profess little or no religious faith RENNES, France. — The episcopal c ouncil of the diocese published a series of guidelines on the pastoral approach to engaged couples who profess little or no r eligious faith. Couples like this, an article in the diocesan review, argues, come to the church when they are about to get married; it is often their only institutional point de repere at such a time — as far as they are concerned the Church is the priest, who organises the ceremony. The article continues: "They are frequently pushed into doing so by family or social pressures. "Our task initially, therefore, is to welcome the engaged couple to the Church in an act of mutual recognition, which will allow them to discuss their plans for the future and their present preoccupations, and us to show them something of the true face of the Church, which they have long since forgotten." The situation is recognised as a complex one, and four hypothetical cases are described, each followed by the outline for a pastoral approach. Where both partners, for example, say they are non-believers and have only come to the priest under pressure from their families, his task will be to help them act according to their own conscience — and probably therefore to be content with the civil marriage ceremony (which in France is obligatory even for those who marry in Church) — and to help the parents respect their children's decision.

Marriage preparation; what we expect of priests
If we in the Catholic Church are as committed to marriage and family life as we say . we are, then by our legislation regarding marriage, and our pastoral concern, we should be giving far more leadership to the general community.

ORGANISTS AND CHOIR DIRECTORS Very few Catholic parishes are fortunate enough to have the services of a trained organist or choir director to look after the musical side of the parish liturgy. In most cases, a competent pianist has been given the job of playing the parish organ or harmonium without much understanding of the musical and liturgical principles involved. The Music Sub-Committee of the Liturgy Commission of W.A. is organising a seminar to give such people advice and support. The seminar will cover practical matters at an elementary level, for example, techniques of leading a congregation in song. The seminar will be held at 7.30 p.m. on TUESDAY, March 29, at Santa Maria College, Moreing Road, Atta dale. People intending to attend the seminar are asked to contact Br. Crooks on 61 3940 or Sr. Majella on 30 3354, before March 25.

P ASSOVER CEREMONY
With the approach of Holy Week, parish groups be interested in taking part in a Passover Ceremony may as a Preparation to understanding the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday. The rite is described in the March issue of the Pastoral Liturgy. Copies of the ceremony are available from the Centre for $1. Father Chris Flamer is in attendance at the Liturgy Centre each Tuesday evening from 4 to 10 p.m.
Christina Mohrmann, pa tristics professor at Roermond Seminary, in the Netherlands, made that statement in an interview with Vatican Radio. Patristics is the study of the early Christian theologians, known as the Fathers of the Church. "Deaconesses had the same tasks as virgins and widows but also carried out other liturgical functions especially during the rite of Baptism by immersion," said Mrs. Mohrmann. "It seems clear to me that this was established as a matter of convenience since when Baptism by immersion stopped, the office of deaconess also fell into disuse." In a recent document repeating the Church's ban on women's ordination to the priesthood, the Vatican's Doctrinal Congregation sidestepped the question of ordaining women to the diaconate. According to the congregation, that issue requires separate study by the Church. Mrs. Mohrmann was also quoted as saying that a small group of highly educated women in the early Church formed an elite of female Church scholars. Women participated actively in the daily life of the (Christian) community, and as the process of emancipation progressed in the Roman world, more than one Christian woman became a `wiseman', a scholar of sacred Scripture and a linguist capable of working with three sacred languages," said the educator.
"Naturally we are speaking about a very restricted elite," she explained.
South Korean Govt. detains 13 priests WASHINGTON (NC). — The South Korean Government has detained 13 Catholic priests in an apparent effort to discourage demonstrations against President Park. Some South Korean clergymen and foreign missionaries have been vocal critics of Park's authoritarian rule. Reports reaching Seoul said that government agents rounded up the 13 priests on March 1. On that day last year 18 prominent religious and political leaders called for Park's removal and other government reforms during an ecumenical ceremony in Seoul's Catholic cathedral. The March 1 detention of the 13 clergymen was apparently intended to head off demonstrations in support of the 18 dissidents, some of whom have been gaoled, and against President Park. March 1 is a symbolic freedom day for Koreans marking the 1919 popular uprising against Japanese colonial rule. Public demonstrations against the government have been suspended since 1975. Opponents of the South Korean president in the United States expressed support for the dissidents by holding public demonstrations here and in other cities.

FATHER KELLER, FAMED MASS-MEDIA LEADER, DIES IN U.S. AT 76 NEW YORK (NC). — Maryknoll Father James G. Keller, founder of The Christophers, who told millions of people "You con change the world," has died in New York Hospital after a prolonged illness. He was 76.
Father Keller, who in 1945 began The Christophers, an ecumenical mass-media organisation, retired as director in 1969 because of declining health. The founded He Christophers as "an aid in restoring fundamental Christian principles to American public and private life." old the Choosing Chinese proverb "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness" as the organisation's motto, Father Keller said he sought "to change the world for the better by showing aver-

He conveyed this message in Christopher News Notes, distributed seven times a year to nearly 1 million readers, in Christopher TV programmes shown weekly on 150 stations around the country and by the Armed Forces Radio and TV service, in 15. proradio minute grammes on 700 stations and one-minute radio spots broadcast on 1,500

Described as a "handsome giant of a man," Father Keller explained the rationale behind The Christophers, a name taken from the Greek word for "Christ-bearers," at the time of his ;retirement. "We focus on you; you as an individual; what 'you can do. "Most people are unaware that everyone of us was given a mission to perform in this life. "They tend to think of themselves in one little corner and that's about as much as they can do. Others think in terms of giving donations, saying a prayer. But that's just scratching the surface. "When we started the Christophers in 1945 a lot of my friends thought we wouldn't progress very well because the idea was too vague; especially since there's no dues. "But we started with the idea; and we sent the bulletin to a few friends, perhaps a few hundred. But it has grown."

teederville students' $1,420 gift
• Leederville C.B.C. head student, TONY PULLELLA is pictured earlier this month handing $1,420 to Mr. SCOTT CHRISTIE, of Community Aid Abroad, watched by St. Mary's School representative CATHY McCARTHY. The money was raised during the second term of last year and represents contributions from all grades at C.B.C. and some fete proceeds from St. Mary's School. The money is destined for an irrigation scheme for tribal people at Mahaboob, near Hyderabad, The money would co-
ver also supplies of seeds, the teaching of new methods of land preparation and similar work. The C.A.A. project sheet describes the Lambada people, who will dig the irrigation channels and prepare the land, as too proud to beg, even in famine time. Most are either land-
less labourers or community landholders, except for a few owners of individual blocks ranging from 0.4 to 2 hectares (one to five acres). They own the land under an Indian Government "Land to the Tiller" Act of 1951, but many of the men at present have to take lab-
ouring jobs to earn enough. The proposal, made by the Lambada people through A.W.A.R.E., an Indian organisation working for the "lowliest and most lost-, will enable the farmers to grow two rice crops and a vegetable crop every year on the irrigated land.

In its 75 years, the institution has undergone a steady renewal and replacement of its buildings to keep pace with the changing needs of child care. Some of the latest modifications can be seen in the picture at right. A former classroom has been re-structured to give the boys training in concentration and application. The boys can study either in small groups in an open area or be arranged in isolated cubicles. This la test improvement is the result of a grant from the Schools Commission. Other departments at Clontarf are offering remedial teaching in ordinary subjects as well as
the traditional manual arts subjects of metalwork, woodwork and basic farm management. For their personal improvement the boys are given behaviour modification courses. • In one of the new Clontarf special learning areas remedial teacher Mrs. J.

A few years ago the author, a Dublin journalist, embarked on the precarious adventure of matchmaking.
. He set up a marriage bureau in the city which he ran until a year ago Now he has written a book about it. It is a most entertaining account of the vicissitudes, tribulations and little victories involved in the struggle on behalf of true love. Into Mr. O'Beirne's office came the most amazing assortment of people. Like one fine morning When there came a bang on the door "and I saw a gaunt man in a torn old raincoat followed by his father. "The father was a smaHer and grimmer version Of the tall young tramp, and I remember thinking If this is a hold-up they'll be disappointed. . "Can you get me a wife?" the gaunt man asked.

father chirped from the background: "Maurice, he's a good lad." But when it came to filling in the forms, and the gaunt man was asked about his income, he answered: "Eight hundred pounds a week." Understandably enough Mr. O'Beirne was a little sceptical. "I pointed out the mistake; he must mean month. He grinned at me. it's "Unfortunately, £800 a week, hard earned, and mostly for the tax collector.' "1 didn't dare after that to question his capital, a modest hundred (about thousand," $150,000)."

Portrays himself as an innocent abroad, feeling his way through unchartered and often treacherous territory. But this is not a comic book about Ireland and marriage. It is a startling story of the poignant even tragic plight of the million Irish men and women who would like to be married but were or are circumby hindered stances. When Michael O'Beirne discovered that only the men were applying

U.K. bishops' project to learn what women think about many issues
LONDON (NC). — The laity commission of the English and Welsh bishops' conference decided at a recent meeting here to launch a project to learn what Catholic women really think on a range of topics including the ordination of women, divorce, contraception and abortion. au-likalikaswastAsk11 1C-,-nksiwntiokiVaitAstaikAitniCallea 1

The method will be a series of tape-recorded 90-minute discussions at parish level on a confidential basis, with no names being asked for or revealed. The tapes will be sent to the laity commission's headquarters here for anaysis. The groups, it is proposed, will range from six to 12 ordinary parish women, excluding those who already belong to parish or national organisations on the grounds that these already have a forum in which their views can be heard.
VARIETY OF TOPICS Topics suggested include: • Whether women play an active part in the life of their parish, such as in reading the lessons at Mass; • Whether their views are ever called for on such questions as education; • What they think about women as priests or deaconesses or in other ministries;
"Carmelites seek to offer the services of true brotherhood by becoming part of the poor and servant Church so as to break down barriers which often separate and divide men." Carmelite General Chapter 1971 Would you offer yourself in such a way of continuing the work which Christ came to do — reconciling men to the Father and to one another? IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THE CARMELITE WAY OF LIFE, CONTACT: Father Ken Petersen, 0.Carm., Carmelite Priory, 82 Collick Street, Hilton, W.A. 6163. Phone 37 1133
• Whether they encounter discrimination within the Church; • Whether they think it appropriate for celibate clergy to rule on the role of women in the Church.
UNITY PROPOSALS The laity commission also commented on the ten propositions for Church unity drawn up by the interfaith Churches' Unity Commission and on the provisional response issued by the bishops' ecumenical commission to help Catholic discussion and provide a basis for the official Catholic response to be given by the bishops later this year. The laity commission said they felt that the ten propositions has been "drawn up by experts for experts" and that neither they nor the ecumenical commission's provisional response were "suitable for general reading." It recommended that "a more popular version" of both documents be published.
St. John, the young man who alone followed Jesus to the end, to the trial before Caiaphas and to the Cross, the man who enshrines the most tender friendship of the life of the God Who became man, was yet designated by Jesus: "Son of thunder" in prophetic recognition of the Apocalypse. The feast day of St. John the Evangelist is celebrated two days after Christmas. It is both right and proper that the feast of the chief evangelist of the divinty of Christ should be held within the Octave to disclose the greatness of the Infant who lies in the manger. The Infant God in the crib gathers around him pure souls. Mary is the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph the chaste spouse, St. Stephen the first martyr who washes his robe in the blood of the Lamb, and then St. John the virgin apostle.
ANGELIC PURITY
Crowned with the halo of those who knew how to conquer their flesh, for this reason St. John "the disciple became whom Jesus loved, and who also leaned on his breast at the Last Supper." (St. John. 21.20). Thanks to his angelic purity St. John was filled with the divine wisdom of the love of God, and in the Epistle of the Mass of St. John the Church applies to him a celebrated passage from the Book of Wisdom. "She shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with the robe of glory. "The Lord our God shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and shall cause him to inherit an everlastiing (Ecclesiasticus name." 15.6).
DISCIPLE His many miracles, his tender pity to the sick and suffering, and his earnest exhortations sought to win man's love, Even his severe reproofs and denunciations were but efforts to save by fear those who could not be won by love. At the Last Supper it is all love. His parting gift to himself "to you and to many" in Holy Communion, the perfect union of perfect love.
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER" When they had received Holy Communion, Jesus said to the Aposties: "Little children, yet a little while I am with you. A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another as I have loved you." (St. John. 13. 33-34). It was a NEW cornmandment: the old one, as Jesus quoted it to the scribe, was: "Thou shalt love thy neightbour as thyself." (St. Mark. 12. 31). But this new one is to love our neighbour as Jesus did, even to the utter abandonment of self. It was new also in this respect, that the Jews regarded no one as a neighbour who was not of their own race, whereas this commandment embraces all mankind. Further, it was new, because henceforth, not fear, but love was to be the moving principle in all our service to God.
ESSENTIAL FOR ALL
This gift of the wisdom of the love of God won for St. John the title of Doctor, and the Introit of his Mass is the ,one the Church uses in the Common of Doctors. It is to St. John who wrote the fourth Gospel, three Epistles, and the Apocalypse, that we owe the most beautiful pages on the Divinity of the Word made flesh. St. John received the halo of martyr, since he only escaped a violent death by the special protection of God. He was the last of the Apostles to die.
This new commandment which Jesus gave to the Apostles at the Last Supper when they had received their first Holy Communion, so impressed Peter, James and John, that later, writing their Epistles, they dwell upon it as essential for all. St. John is symbolised by the noble eagle with fire in his blood. No hovering near the ground for the king of the air. No, up he soars into the clouds. The other three evangelists, Saints Matthew, Mark and Luke, give us a synopsis of the life of Christ on earth. They are historians, faithful chroniclers of events. St. John, fired by his deep personal love of Christ, soars to the heights of the Divinity of Christ,
NIGHTS IN PRAYER
THE APOCALYPSE
"DOCTOR"
Well indeed has St. John said: "Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end." Love tends always to union, Throughout his active ministry Jesus had striven to attract men to himself in love. This was the object of the whole nights he spent in prayer on the hills of Judea.
The Holy Spirit, in gratitude for his intense love of Christ, inspired St. John to write the fourth Gospel as a proof of the Divinity of Christ. In the Apocalypse St. John tells us the rewards that await those who on earth love Jesus Christ. "And I, John, say the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride ador-
ned for her husband." (Apocalypse 21, 2). On this earth St. John had rich and rewarding returns for his love. He is one of the special three who were invited to Mt. Thabor to catch a glimpse of what St. Paul says: "eye hath not seen nor ear heard what joys the Lord has prepared for those who love Him."
TO CALVARY At the Last Supper, St. John was beside Our Lord and was permitted to lean his head on the Lord's bosom to hear the heart-beats of that loving God. It was St. John that accompanied Mary to Calvary and from the Cross was appointed Mary's son and support. "Behold thy mother," words from the Cross, opened out a new life for St. John, a life into which Mary entered as his mother, and he became her second son, her other priestly son. It was his great joy and honour to say Mass in the presence of Mary, to consecrate the Sacred Host and place it upon Mary's tongue, saying: "Mary, behold thy Son. Behold the Lamb of God Who takest away the sins of the world."
SACRED MOMENT What a sacred moment that was upon which the angelic court of heaven gazed in wondrous admiration! Who could have said a more acceptable Mass than St. John, inspired and helped by Mary's presence and by Mary's praying the Mass with him! Let us invite the beloved disciple to kneel beside us at Mass and to share with us his faith in the Real Presence, and
his love and gra tide for such a gift as the Blessed Eucharist as Sacrament and Sacrifice. It was St. John's distinction to be at the last Supper to hear Christ's command to His priests:
BENEATH THE CROSS "Do this in commemoration of me." He stood beneath the Cross, broken-hearted indeed, but enlightened as no other priest has been in the Divine Mystery of the Sacrifice of the Cross. For the years following Good Friday he offered the Mass with Mary present, to link in his offering the Victim of Calvary and the Victim of the Mass, Jesus Christ whom Mary and St. John loved beyond human imagination. Then, when Mary is assumed into heaven, St. John receives the gift to write from his heart his Gospel, his three Epistles, and the Apocalypse.
LAST YEARS He lived to a great old age, blessed with a deep peace of soul, and supreme confidence in the love of Christ. To all who gathered around him as the last living witness of Jesus Christ, St. John spoke of charity, the love of God and the love of one's neighbour for God's sake, as words of wisdom winnowed for such a long and eventful life. His last years were echoes of his Master's last words spoken at the Last Supper: "Little children! A new commandment I give unto you that you love one another as I have loved you. "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for another." (St. John. 13. 33-35). NEXT WEEK: St. Mary Magdalen.
