CHUM 140 YEARS' Bishops in U.S. WORK FOR lift vote to BORIGINES
"We are not in the business of symbolic gestures, when so many priests, Religious and scores of thousands of dollars are being committed by the Church to Aboriginal care," Archbishop Goody said yesterday.
You can put one, or even a hundred, tents in the grounds of Saint Mary's Cathedral, but it
is no substitute for the care that has to be given to each Aboriginal individually," he said. The archbishop made these remarks in a resume of points which he had made in on-the-spot interviews with groups outside Saint Mary's Cathedral last Sunday.
'COULD' - NOT 'WOULD' NOW 'WILL' INTERVIEW
Lines of communication got crossed at last Sunday's on-the-spot interview outside Saint Mary's Cathedral. Asked if he would visit Aboriginal camps, Archbishop Goody questioned what good would come simply of looking at situations that he and others had seen on many occasions. To further questioning he replied that if he wished he "could" come with a busload of people who have been actively working on behalf of the Church in Aboriginal care. . A news report quoted him as saying he "would" send a busload. Phone calls to Saint Mary's Cathedral theta started asking when the bus would depart. Faced with the impossible task of unravelling a complicated communication, the archbishop has decided that a "bus" will go on the tour of metropolitan sites, taking himself and key R eligious and lay personnel who are actively working for Aboriginals.
The archbishop was at the Cathedral to celebrate the solemn Mass of Pentecost. At the end of Mass he had an interview in the sacristy with Mr. Robert Bropho, who had established his children in a tent on the Cathedral grounds at 8 p.m. on the Friday evening. The tent was removed at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
CARE SINCE 1846 "Personal care to Aborigines is what the Catholic Church, like so many other voluntary bodies, have given in this State since Father Salvado headed into the bushlands in 1846," the archbishop added. "Today there are four priests working full time on Aboriginal care when the staffing of parishes, to say nothing of other special works, is at a critical stage." The archbishop singled out the priests. "Father Bryan Tiernan, Pallottine, who has worked extensively with Aborigines in the country for the past 14 years,

is now working for them in the archdiocesan areas and has gathered a Christian community at a weekly Mass at Embleton. "Father John Leummen and a team of helpers has built up an extraordinary complex at Pallottine Centre, housing some 100 Aboriginal youth who are attending, local schools and training centres to enable them to cope with today's living situations. At Kalgoorlie, he said,
Father Toop and the Little Sisters of the Poor had poured in unbelievable time, patience and care into a refuge and aged home for Aboriginals in a quarter of Kalgoorlie that was for so long a haven for derelicts. The Brothers of Saint John of God had recently joined this task force, he added. "In Perth, Sister Bernardine, on her own initiative, has given heroic service in trying to bring some hope to the people in Norbert Street; Servite Father Martin Jenco has recently joined in this work. "The Daughters of Charity have helped in many ways through the West Perth De Paul centre and the activities of Sister Peter and Sister Pat." (CONTINUED PAGE 3)

STATEMENT BY U.S. BISHOPS ON BAN ON DIVORCED CATHOLICS WHO REMARRY
Following is the text of the statement on divorced Catholics read by Bishop Cletus O'Donnell, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee for Canonical Affairs, during the spring meeting of the U.S. bishops: All Catholics should be concerned, compassionate, and loving toward their sisters and brothers in the faith who have suffered the tragedy of marital failure. How are we to manifest Christian love toward those who are in invalid marital unions, without compromising or diluting Catholic teaching about Christian marriage? This is a critical, continuing problem. We wish to help divorced and remarried Catholics without seeming to weaken the unbreakable bond of marriage covenant entered into freely in Christ. The decision of the Catholic bishops of the United States to seek to remove one burden from the shoulders of divorced and remarried Catholics — the Church penalty of excommunication — must therefore be prefaced by a clear explanation.
LAW EXPLAINED To understand this decision, some explanation of Church penalties is necessary. Most violations of Church law and certainly most moral transgressions are not punished by Church law. The latter is very different from civil law in which every regulation carries with it a penalty for violators. Sometimes, however, Church law does add the sanction of a penalty, because of the extreme seriousness of the violation or sinful action or perhaps because the abuse in question is or may become widespread. The added sanction does not make the transgression any more serious, nor does the absence of a sanction indicate that the act is not a sinful violation. In 1884 the bishops of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore judged that remarriage after divorce, prohibited then as it is now, should have the added sanction of excommunication.

Excommunication is the most severe of Church penalties. It means separation from the community of the faithful, prohibition of reception of sacraments, loss of any share in the public prayers of the Church, prohibition of the holding of Church offices and the exercise of Church jurisdiction, etc. So severe is this penalty that' it is never imposed simply as a punishment or for retribution. It is always an invitation to repentance and reconciliation with God and the Church. After study and reflection, the bishops of the United States have concluded that the removal of this particular excommunication, which is not in effect in other countries, can foster healing and reconciliation for many Catholics remarried after divorce. Apart from a national council, the bishops cannot take this action without prior permission of the Holy Father. Their decision is therefore subject to confirmation or ratification by him.
POSITIVE ASPECTS The positive dimensions of this decision are very real. It welcomes back to the community of believers in Christ all who may have been separated by excommunication.
It offers them a share in all the public prayers of the Church community. It restores their right to take part in Church services. It removes certain canonical restrictions upon their participation in Church life. It is a promise of help and support in the resolution of the burden of family life. Perhaps above all, it is a gesture of love and reconciliation from the other members of the Church. However, this important step is not a total solution to the problems of these people. It would be false and unfair to them to suggest otherwise.
HARDEST QUESTION The Church cannot recognise as valid and sacramental those second marriages after divorce, unless there has been a determination by a Church tribunal on behalf of the Church community that the persons involved are free to marry in Christ the Lord. The general Church law is to limit the full active participation of the remarried in Church life. And the lifting of the burden of excommunication does not of itself permit those who have remarried after divorce to receive the sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist. This last and most difficult question — return to full eucharistic communion — can be resolved only in a limited number of instances, depending on the particular circumstances.
THE NEXT STEP Those who have remarried and may have incurred the Church penalty of excommunication should see in this decision to remove the penalty a genuine invitation from the Church community. It is up to them to take the next step by approaching parish priests and diocesan tribunals to see whether their return to full eucharistic communion is possible. The priests, Religious and lay people who work in diocesan tribunals have made extraordinary efforts in the last few years to study and solve these problems. Clearer and simpler procedures together with a more profound understanding of the marriage covenant, have helped achieve an equitable solution of very many difficult personal problems. No one should hesitate to seek such assistance from parish priests and diocesan tribunals.
'ONLY GENUINE SOLUTIONS' This decision, to remove the penalty of excommunication for remarriage after divorce, will not answer all questions by any means. It is only a single step, but it offers encouragement and hope to disaffected or alienated Catholics. Pastoral counselling, resolution of problems of — conscience, evaluation of first marriages by diocesan tribunals, all are needed. For the future, thorough preparation for marriage and support for marriage and family life by the whole community of the Church are the only genuine solutions.

SALISBURY. — Twenty four Roman Catholic nuns and nine priests have fled Rhodesia because of terrorism, and a senior Church spokesman says that many more will leave soon.
The Carmelite Father Bernard Clinch from the Mount Malleray Mission, north of Inyanga, flew out of Salisbury recently after terrorists told him he was 'not welcome." His brother. Father Joseph Clinch (54), also fled Rhodesia a few months ago after terrorists threatened him at the Triashill Mission, north of Rusape. He too, is a Carmelite.
'NOT GOOD FOR HEALTH'
In a letter, Father Bernard said that he had been told that Inyanga was "not good for his health." "Beyond that I can only guess that he had a similar warning to mine," said Father Joseph. The head of the St. Joseph's Carmelite community in Salisbury, Father Mel Hill said: "About 24 nuns have now left their missions or convents and returned home either because their work has proved imposs-
ible, or because their buildings were situated in the war zones.
"Some nuns have been threatened by the terrorists with beatings and one priest was very nearly shot by a drunken terroist about two months ago." He added: -Apart from Father Joseph and Father Bernard another seven or eight priests who Catholic went overseas on leave have decided to stay there because of the situation here." Father Hill. who for six years was the Easten Districts Regional Carmelite Superior, said: "Father Joseph was approached by a terrorist about three or four months ago. "A machine-gun was stuck in his stomach and the terrorrist demanded that he attend a lecture in the mission schoolroom. "The lecture was obviously on Communism. "He adamantly refus-
ed to go. • Father Hill went on: 'Father Bernard was given a message from the terrorists saying that his presence in the mission was not wanted. "The message was delivered by an African nun, and it was as good as a death warrant." Father Hill (63) — a member of the Army Chaplain's Board — said that he believed the terrorists were deliberately using the Roman Catholic Church. "I think they find the bishops very gullible," he said. "A terrorist can go to a mission. and he will allow The missionaries to carry on some measure of their work. "But he won't allow the Gospel to be preached. If you preach the Gospel you will be dead. "I've no illusions about the future here under any black government.— Salisbury Sunday News report.

"SOUL" OF THE ROSARY CARLO CARRETTO, author of that modern classic on the spiritual life, "Letters from the Desert" — already in its twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth edition — and, more recently, "The God Who Comes", is a priest of the congregation of the Little Brothers of Jesus, the congregation founded by Fr. Rene Voillaume in the spirit of Charles de Foucauld. Fr. Caretto is a contemplative who can write of prayer in the language of every-day life and of ordinary people. Here he reflects on his experiences in talking about, and in praying, the Rosary.

Work, he said, "should not be thought of only as a chore and a task, nor as a theme for permanent conflict between fellow-citizens of the same earth, nor solety as a way to win economic and temporal prosperity." The Pope said that work should be seen as the carrying out of an "ennobling and redemptive design of God for human life."

Following is the text of the letter, On First Confession, addressed to bishops throughout the world, issued March 31 and released May 19 by the Vatican Congregations for the Sacraments and Divine Worship and for the Clergy: Even though the declaration Sanctus Pontifex was published on May 24, 1973, by both the Sacred Congregations for the Discipline of the Sacraments and for the Clergy, nonetheless, in some parts of the Church and in some catechetical centres, dissension and doubts still remain about the ecclesiastical discipline which regards children's receiving the sacrament of Penance before they receive their First Communion. Many inquiries and requests have come to this Apostolic See from bishops, from priests, and from parents.
"Nothing Amin can do to kill" Church in Uganda
'AS A GENERAL RULE'
An apostolic religious institute which exercises its ministry in many countries posed the question explicitly whether, after the promulgation of the declaration, it was allowed, "as a general rule," to receive First Communion without previous confession in those parishes in which this had becomes common practice. Moreover, recent information gathered by the Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship have proved the need of inculcating the Church's norms regarding these questions as well as the occasion for explaining once again, and thus answering a felt need, the mind and force of this declaration. This is done by giving an official reply to the question, which the religions institute had proposed.
DEARBORN, Mich. (NC). — The Catholic Church in Uganda is so ingrained in the way of life of the Ugandan people there is nothing President Idi Amin can do to kill it, said Bishop Edward O'Me-ara, national director of the Sockty for the Propagation of the Faith. "One Ugandan bishop recently told me that if they could just have five more years of uninterrupted growth Uganda would be the strongest Catholc nation in the world," Bishop O'Meara said.
DISTURBANCE
It is certainly not necessary to explain the reason for publishing the decree since all realise what grave disturbance was created by some opinions based on psychological and pedagogical reasons, by which the traditional doctrine of the Church was almost overturned. However, one must keep in mind that, while before the decree, Quam Singulari (Saint Pius X 1910), according to common opinion, children who reached a certain age could be admitted to confession, but not to receive Communion, now on the other hand, it is affirmed that children could go to Communion, but that it is not fitting to make confession precede this sacrament. Already according to the decree, Quam Singulari, the origin of that regrettable custom was seen in not having defined the age of discretion for receiving the sacraments:
He made his remarks to a group of 40 diocesan directors of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in Dearborn. "Even if our friend Amin decides to expel all foreign missioners," he continued, "the native priests and laity would see to the survival of the Church." Amin has been accused of murdering an Anglican bishop and terrorising Christians.

THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON FIRST CONFESSION AND FIRST COMMUNION
VATICAN CITY (NC). — Pope Paul asked prayers for the unemployed, for those whose jobs are in jeopardy and for the underpaid an May Day, the day celebrated as Labour Day throughout most of the world.
"Let us pray for those who want to work and suffer from unemployment or from the insecure position in which they are employed," said the Pope from his apartment window overlooking the square.
RECORD
1
"The abuses which we censure spring from this, that the age of discretion was not properly or correctly defined and that some assign one age for confession, and another for the Eucharist." For this reason in n. 1 of the section of the decree that lays down dispositions, it is decreed that there is only one age for these sacraments and that when it is reached, the obligation begins of receiving both according to the designated order, that is confession before Communion. "The age of discretion both for confession and for Communion is the age in which the child begins to reason, i.e., around the seventh year, either before or after. From that time begins the obligation of satisfying both the precept of confession and of Communion." (Note: It is not necessary to add that the strict obligation of confession should be understood according to the traditional doctrine of the Church.)
NEED FOR SAFEGUARD
That confession should precede Communion is clear from the order in which these two sacraments are named in the decree, as well as from the fact that the disapproved abuses regarded not the admission to confession but rather, admission to Holy Communion. The need for safeguarding and protecting worthy participation in the Eucharist has compelled the Church to introduce a norm in her discipline and pastoral practice that confession should precede Communion and in, this way the right of the faithful — both of adults and children — to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation is recognised. Moreover, St. Paul's admonition (cf.I Cor. XI, 28) truly establishes a directing norm which regards even children. Therefore these also, before receiving the Holy Eucharist, should examine themselves.
CHILD'S CONSCIENCE
But often the child is not able to examine his conscience clearly and surely himself. This will be done more easily and safely if he avails himself of the help of a priest confessor. In fact there are many children who feel troubled by small and unimportant things while there are others who ignore and pass over more serious faults. The precept of canon 854 of the Code of Canon Law in which the judgment about the sufficient disposition for First Communion belongs to the priest could not be observed if the child did not go to confession before Communion. In this matter one must also keep in mind that many fine pastors have learned from their catechetical and ministerial experience the great usefulness and saving power which their first confession has in the life of children if it is carefully prepared, properly adapted to their age and their capacity to perceive spiritual things and carefully administered.
AGE OF DISCRETION
When he arrives at the age of discretion, the child has the right, in the Church, to receive both sacraments. It would be an absurd and unjust discrimination and a violation of his conscience if he were prepared for and admitted only to Holy Communion. It is not enough to say that children have the right to go to confession if this right remains practically ignored. When children are sufficiently instructed and are aware of the special nature of these two sacraments, it will not be difficult for them to go first to the sacrament of Reconciliation which — in a simple but fundamental way — arouses in them the awareness of moral good and evil and aids them to bring a more mature disposition to their happy meeting with Christ. The basic persuasion about the need of the greatest purity for receiving the Eucharist worthily, if prudently instilled in children right from the time of their first Communion, will accompany them for the rest of their lives and will lead to a greater esteem for, and a more frequent use of, the sacrament of Reconciliation.
POPE'S TEACHING
The Roman Pontiff taught this in the letter he wrote through the secretary of state on the occasion of the 26th Liturgical Week celebrated in Florence: "The Holy Father gives special consideration to the confession of children and, especially the first confession, which should always precede their first Communion, even if they are fittingly separated by .a period of time. For whom that early age, should begin the preaching of penance which ogers a more fervent foundation later on for living faith both in receiving the sacrament as well as in giving proper direction to one's Christian life."
DIFFERENT CULTURES, SAME PRINCIPLE
It can be observed that in many nations particular conditions of society and culture are not a legitimate reason for establishing a different discipline. Human nature is essentially the same everywhere and the goals of spiritual perfection, which belong to the sacrament, are proposed equally to everyone. And indeed, children, in whatever circumstances of society and culture they live, if they can receive the Eucharist in a conscious way suitable for their age, can also have an equal awareness of sin and ask God's pardon in confession.
RENEWAL
Finally, one must remember that the great renewal and greater vigour of the sacrament of Penance which is so necessary today and so desired by pastors ul the universal Church, cannot come about unless it has its foundation and principle in the careful and fruitful preparation and reception of the sacraments of Christian initiation. We are happy to take this occasion to profess ourselves with sentiments of esteem. Devotedly yours, Cardinal James KNOX, Cardinal John WRIGHT.

'STORY OF Elf SIG OF PEACE AND HOW IT SHOULD BE USED
RATIONALISING
"These people feel they can rationalise as licit the assassination of the enemy, the moral and physical torture, the unwarranted arrest of persons and the elimination of all those who presumably can become aggressors against collective security." A recent report by Amoesty International, a London-based organisation concerned with rights of political prisoners, estimated that Argentina is holding 5,000 to 6,000 political prisoners. The report included a documented list of 480 missing persons. Among them are a dozen priests. In 1976 alone seven priests, a bishop and three seminarians were killed.
SEVERAL MOVES
In their denunciation the bishops revealed that individually and together they had made several representations, some formal and some, informal to the military junta headed by General Jorge Videla. All were private moves — including delivery of documented cases of unwarranted arrest's, torture and murder — in what the bishops said was an attempt not to harm further the already grave predicament of the 'authorities. In a March document the bishops warned the government that unless they received some clarification on the whereabouts of the miming persons and of persons under arrest or imprisoned without trial, they would have to speak .out publicly.
LITTLE ACTION
The public statement of the bishops said, "It would be a sign of disloyalty to Our missions as pastors to keep silent any longer." They demanded that any Measures to keep order 'Must be conducted within the framework of the law," and that anti-guerilla justice be conducted through the regular courts.

WASHINGTON (NC). — If it seems that the sign of peace has been around a long while, it has. In fact, its longer than you might think. Introduced to American Catholics by the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the gesture is firmly rooted in Jewish tradition, from which it was borrowed by the early Christians, who used it in prayer and eucharistic services as far back as the first century after Christ. The history of the sign of peace is traced in a booklet published recently by the U.S. bishops' Committee on the Liuurgy. The purpose of the booklet — first of a liturgical series — is to examine the various meanings attached to the sign of peace and to "present a rationale" for the gesture. which is a part of the revised liturgy.
The origins
"The norm
It also says that it need not be exchanged at every Mass, but "its inclusion should become the norm." Other factors should be considered by the priest in conducting the ritual. The booklet says: "The celebrant, as the one who presides, must weigh such factors as local standards for propriety, size of the church, number of participants, character and intimacy of the assembly, lest the rite become a mere formality or deteriorate into a frivolous display." Why give the sign of peace at all? The booklet answers this way: "It is a manifestation of faith in the presence of Christ in one's neighbour and a prayer that God may bless him/her. It is the opportunity to see one another afresh in God and to be reconciled in the way that only liturgy affords."

Modern rite
"The assembly of the faithful, kept as a clearly distinct and separate body, was to be content with watching. assisting and receiving," the booklet says. The modern rite calls for a general greeting of peace by the priest after the prayer for r peace and unity of the Church. The way it is exchanged follows local custom, the booklet says. When large congregations are assembled, the handshake is the most common gesture, while an embrace is usual for small gatherings. Often words accompany the action. such as, "Peace be with you.' The booklet instructs that neither the people nor the priest should overdo the sign of peace, "by attempting to give the greeting personally to everyone in the congregation or even to a great number of those_ present."

The play propounded its message "with sympathetic insight" Sir,
Whilst not always agreeing with Mr. O'Doherty's theatre criticisms, anymore than I would agree with other critics, I believe the question The Record readers must ask themselves is whether Mr. O'Doherty writes as theatre critic or theatre censor. I too find blasphemy and four letter words abhorrent, also public nudity is not to my taste, but the "Elocution of Benjamin Franklyn" presented very sensitively and truthfully the twilight world, unknown to most of us outside this area. The play propounded its message with sympathetic insight. The pathos of the cameo scene wherein O'Brien rejects the advances of his precocious pupil was the crux of the play, the language and nudity merely the trappings to authenticate the situation.

Bishops on research CHICAGO (NC). — Recombinant DNA research must be conducted in the light of fundamental values rather than from the standpoint of risks and benefits, according to the Catholic bishops' Committee on Human Values. In a statement at the bishops' recent meeting the committee warned against a utilitarian ethic which would pursue research at the expense of other values. The committee also rejected "the other extreme which would ban all recombinant DNA research as too risky." The urgency that has marked DNA research "should not be allowed to short-circuit reflection on the purpose and implications of these forms
of DNA modification; • the effect of this type of. genetic research on our; understanding of our- -4 selves and our relation to nature; and the correlation between the scientific advance pos- ' sible through recombinant DNA research and, 'a human progress as judged by a variety of criteria. "Discussion of the rights and limits of scientific inquiry in the instance of recombinant DNA well illustrates the necessity of striving ,always for open corrununication between science and the public," the committee said. "Such collaboration is necessary if wisdom and humility are to ef-.. feet enlightened public policy."
