MELBOURNE. — The large Mother and Child statue recently stolen from the Maryknoll parish has been returned. Two parishioners found the statue outside Our Lady of the Nativity Church, West Essendon, last week. It was accompanied by a note which read: "I've returned this statue on behalf of a friend — it was taken from the Maryknoll township. "Apparently the statue was greatly missed, so we would like to apologise for any embarrassment caused by my friend's prank. "I'm sure it would be appreciated if you could remy turn the statue for friend." • The statue is 3f ft. high, and was part of a shrine welcoming visitors to Maryknoll, a small country town 24 miles east of Dandenong. It had stood at the town's entrance since 1954. A relieved Fr. James Mc Guigan, the parish priest of the Holy Family. Maryknoll, said last week that the statue was only slightly damaged. "I join my parishioners in thanking those responsible for returning the statue. "It is so heavy that it probably took more than one man to carry it — we hope and pray that the prank is never repeated."

LONDON (NC). — A list naming Christians currently known to be in detention in the Soviet Union has been published by Keaton College's Centre for the Study of Religion and Communism; it contains 148 names and admits to being "certainly incomplete."

The introduction to the report quotes one expert as estimating that there are about 2,000 Christians in Soviet prisons, labour camps and psychiatric hospitals, or sentenced to exile within the Soviet Union. Where possible, the report details the section of the Criminal Code under which each person was sentenced, the sentence passed, his or her address in prison, labour camp or exile, and his or her home address, as well as name, age, and family details. The list includes 15 Russian Orthodox, five Latin-rite Catholics, 17 Ukranian-rite Catholics, a further six Ukranian Catholics belonging to the Pokutnyky movement — described recently as combining Christian theology with radical nationalist views — 67 Evangelicals and Baptists, nine young Baptists sentenced during their army service for refus-

VATICAN WARNS AGAINST Special St. V. de P. branch fo rme d to work at MEDIA MONOPOLIES AND Osborne Park depot HARMFUL ADVERTISING

A special conference of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society has been established to work at the Osborne Pork depot.

VATICAN CITY. — The Pontifical Commission for Social Communications has warned against the development of media monopolies "which may impede the right to receive and give information." The commission in a statement just released also said that advertising agencies, as the principal source of income for the media, were exercising increasing influence on the "ideological direction" of public opinion. The commission encouraged people to protest "vigorously but without exaggeration" whenever they found the presentation or content of advertising unacceptable. It urged advertisers to regulate themselves lest their methods "harm the community." The commission's statement was an explanatory note distributed to commission members and consultors in connection with the observance of World Communications Day on May 22.

VATICAN H VIEW

The Second Vatican Council recommended such an observance as an occasion for prayer, reflection and study concerning the communications media and the Church's responsibility toward them. Bishop Deskur, president of the Vatican commission, said the theme approved by Pope Paul for this year's observance was "Advertising in the Mass Media: Benefits, Dangers, Responsibilities." Advertising was steadily increasing and offers "real social benefits" to modern society, the pontifical commission said. "It tells buyers of the goods and services available, encourages the widest distribution of products and helps industry to develop and benefit the population. "All this is to the good so long as there is respect for the buyer's liberty of choice," the commission said. It added that "a judicious use of advertising can s timulate developing countries to improve their standard of living."

'HARM CAN BE DONE'

"But serious harm can be done them if advertising and commercial pressure become so irresponsible that communities that seek to rise from poverty to a r easonable standard of living are persuaded to seek this progress by satisfying wants that have been created artificially," the commission continued. , •4%dr++.0~4,4,Pr+.4,*•0•4^04,

-

&•••

"The result of this is that they waste their resources and neglect their real needs, and genuine development falls behind." "If harmful or utterly useless goods are touted to the public, if false assertions are made about the goods for sale, if less admirable human tendencies are exploited, those responsible for such advertising harm society and forfeit their good name and credibility," the commission said.

'WITHOUT SHAME'

"More than this, unremitting pressure to buy articles of luxury can arouse false wants. "These can hurt both individuals and families b making them ignore what they really need. "And those forms of advertising, which without shame, exploit the sexual instincts to make money, or which seek to penetrate into the subconscious recesses of the mind in a way that threatens the freedom of the individual, must be shunned," the commission stated. "Moreover, because of economic demands and pressures, the essential freedom of the media is at stake. "Since advertising revenue is vital for these media, only those can ultimately survive which receive the greatest share of advertising outlays."

MORAL PROBLEMS

Asserting that a variety of communication media must be safeguarded, the commission advocated equitable distribution of advertising revenue to "prevent the lion's share from going to those that are already the most powerful." By devoting World Communications Day to the subject of advertising, the pontifical commission said that it hoped to remind people of the existence and seriousness of the moral problems regarding the content and methods of advertising. It also said that it hoped to set a dialogue in motion with all levels of the advertising industry to promote improvement in existing codes and in their application, and to encourage Catholic media to accept only advertising that is in keeping with their own character.

CONTEMPLATION

Sometimes people speak of "the Protestant work ethic" in America, as if only Protestants know how to work. In Japan, there are few Protestants but a strong work ethic, and also in Poland, in Hungary, in Greece and in many other countries. There is not just one work ethic. Even among American Protestants there are several — different in Vermont, in Appalachia, in Mississippi, in Minnesota, for example. Perhaps the phrase "Protestant work ethic" is intended as a contrast to "the Catholic play ethic," as if to differentiate the serious style of Northern Europeans from the hedonism and passion of the Mediterraneans. Indeed, savvy political consultants in the United States recognises that symbols of play appeal to Catholics — in Catholic neighbourhoods, the candidate dances, eats, drinks, takes part in sports. The candidate saves his serious, "moral" side for groups like Common Cause.

(1) The contemplative virtues, Catholic cultures nourish the idea that being precedes doing, that contemplation is the wellspring of action, and that immanent action (action which changes the subject) is of a higher moral value than transitive action (action which changes external arrangements). Even in their choice of majors in the university, Catholics have until recently favoured philosophy, literature, history, classics, rather than sociology and the sciences. There are weaknesses in such distribution. But the preference for the more speculative, contemplative, and wisdom-oriented fields has a strong theological, even familiar base. (2) The liturgical tradition, Catholic prayer at meals is usually less activist than Protestant grace; Catholics thank God, while Protestants often remember the hungry. So, too, the Catholic liturgy is not practical in its orientation, but playful.

FOUR APPROACHES

DIVINE COMEDY

Locked somewhere in the concepts of work and play, therefore, are profound cultural secrets. Indeed, the heart of a theology of culture is hidden in them. Consider four different approaches to work: (1) Work is our punishment for sin, to be endured, got through, and escaped from as often as possible. (2) Work is our duty, idleness the devil's workshop. One works to allay guilt, feels guilty for not working, is driven to keep busy. (3) Work is a form of stewardship, through which we change the world and make it better, progress ("meaningful work") being our most important product. (4) Work is part of our nature, the vocation of incarnate beings, the creativity of "homo father." Work is as native to us as play, necessary and difficult and satisfying, as habitual as breathing. From it flows our dignity.

SELF-EXAMINATION There are other approaches to work beyond these. Even these four suggest, however, that there is much room for self-examination. How each individual approaches work is an important index to the culture that truly nourishes that individual. Perhaps no two philosophers have written more profoundly of work than Yvres Simon -- whose work will surely experience a great revival one day soon -- and Jacques Maritain. It is not surprising that Catholic philosophers would be especially sitmulated to think about the meaning of work. For the tradition of Catholic philosophy encompasses 2,000 years' experience of many different cultures and many different eras. Work was not to the Greeks what it was to the Hebrews; nor to the Romans or the Gauls or the Germans. Work in ancient societies was not the same as in feudal societies, nor in bourgeois societies, nor in post-industrial societies.

CATHOLIC MOTIVATION

POLLICKS

CULTURAL SECRETS

Work, as a concept, is exceedingly rich in analogies and differences. There is much to be learned about the actual conceptions of work that motivate the many branches of the European Catholic people — Latins, Eastern Europeans, Italians, Irish, Germans, French and others. Similarly, there is much to be learned concerning the notions of play that animate Catholic peoples. The most penetrating books about play have been written by Catholics (or those who specialise in studying Catholic cultures) : Johann Huizinga's "Homo Ludens," Josef Pieper's "Leisure the Basis of Culture," and Hugo Rahner's "Men at Play." There are, I think, three reasons why play is so basic to Catholic understandings of reality.

It establishes the stage and sets the scene, within which to contemplate the divine comedy — a comedy full of suffering, violence and bloodshed as the cross on each steeple and the purple vestments suggest. The liturgy maintains traditions now thousands of years old, since Abraham, in whose context all the excitements of the current cultural scene seem a little frantic. The root of civilisation, according to the liturgy, is immanent, contemplative, self-transforming. The life of work comes second, and is expressive of the life of play. One does not play in order to be refreshed for work. One works in order to be prepared for play. Play is the basic reality. ( 3) The moral priorities. The Catholic moral sense includes a profound respect for the limits of nature and for the restrained realism of Christian hope.

"ECOLOGY"

The new word of recent years, "ecology," represents a conversion from attitudes developed in the aggressive, masculine, Protestant phase of bourgeois culture — which Henry Adams referred to as "the Age of the Dynamo." But it is a return to attitudes far more congenial to Catholic piety, to what Adams called "the Age of the Virgin." The Virgin lost her Son; she knows suffering. She knows what is to be expected from human beings. She knows the limits of birth, suffering, and death, and of the sorrows inescapably entailed in them. She knows that "hubris" — the pride that celebrates "future shock" — meets ineluctable limits. The attitude of the Virgin is an attitude close to the fount of artistic genius, of contemplation, of prayer, of play, of being. It is true, of course, that deeds must be done, cultures transformed, the kingdom of justice realised.

QUIET PATH But the path toward these things is not where we might expect it to lie, through frantic action, through work. The path is far more humble, more quiet, slower, but more efficacious. Even in the world of sports today -- basketball championships, Superbowls, the World Series — great mysteries of death and rebirth are reenacted. The activist, commercial world is corrupting even our sports. These sports are contemplative at their core. But the greed fanned into flame with television dollars is turning them into businesses and entertainments, corrupting their liturgical essence. Millions feel revulsion, but are uncertain why they feel as they do, what it is that is being so mindlessly corrupted. Play is a more basic human reality than work. Both are concepts deserving of the best thought and most searching criticism we possess. Together, they compose the rhythm of our lives.
