The first. . . Perth's first Catholic church, and for a time its cathedral, took a new lease of life at a dedication ceremony dedication Mass last week on the feast of St. John the Evangelist. It was 136 years to the day since Father John Brady began building the church just 19 days after he had reached Fremantle with a stop at Albany. The foundation stone was laid on January 16 1844. It is estimated that there could have been as few as thirty Catholics in the Perth region at the time; nonCatholics gave generously to the project. Archbishop Goody told the rather small congregation that turned up for last weeks' ceremony that it was a nostalgic occasion. For that reason he offered Mass in Latin, the only Ianguage that the humble church had ever known. The vestments worn by the
archbishop and his assistants, Dean Foley and Father Barry Hickey, were the only decent ones that could be found from the turn of the century. Archbishop Goody noted that this first place of Catholic worship in WA is also the oldest standing cathedral church in the whole of Australia. In its uncompleted state it was a Catholic school in 1844 until Father Joostens moved down to Albany after Father Brady had left on February 11 after a stay of just two months. It was the first Catholic school to be staffed by Religious when the Sisters of (See also page 5)

TRUT , POWER OF PEACE o all of you 1 address my message and invite you to celebrate the thirteenth World Day of Peace with a resolute effort of mind and action so as to stabilize from within the tottering and ever threatened edifice of peace by putting its content of truth back into it.
The New Yearpeace message of Pope Truth, the power of peace! Let us join together to strengthen peace through the resources of peace itself. John PaulII The foremost resource is truth, for it is preeminently truth that is the serene and powerful driving force of
peace, radiating unimpededly by its own power. Truth serves the cause of peace; non-truth in all its forms and at all levels (lies, partial or slanted information, sectarian propaganda, manipulation of the communications media, and so on) goes hand in hand with the cause of war. Although there is justifiable disquiet at the increase of violence in national and international society, public opinion is often less sensitive to the various forms of non-truth that underlie violence and that create a fertile soil for it.
fresh advances in justice and brotherhood and in the peaceful coexistence of all human beings. Icannot fail to say a word about the arms race.
Arms race There is a tragic contradiction between the many fervent declarations in favour of peace and the no less real vertiginous escalation in weaponry. The very existence of the arms race can even cast a suspicion of falsehood and hypocrisy on certain declarations of the desire for peaceful coexistence, or even justify the impression that such declarations serve only as a cloak for opposite intentions. We cannot sincerely condemn violence unless we engage in a corresponding effort to replace it by attacking the roots of injustice.
FLOURISHES IN LIES Violence flourishes in lies, and needs lies. It seeks to gain respectability in the eyes of the world by combatting or silencing those who do not share the same views by labelling them as enemies, attributing to them hostile intentions and using skilful and constant propaganda to brand them as aggressors. Non-truth consists in refusing to recognize and respect the objectively legitimate and inalienable rights of those who refuse to accept a particular ideology, or who appeal to freedom of thought. Non-truth is at work when oppressive intentions are attributed to those who clearly show that their one concern is to protect and defend themselves against real threats both within a country and between countries. These methods force iridividuals. groups, governments, and even international organizations to keep silence in helplessness and complicity, to surrender their principles in part or to react in an irrational way. All these attitudes are equally capable of favouring the murderous game of violence and of attacking the cause of peace.
The concern of all The work for peace is the concern of all individuals and of all peoples. And because everyone is endowed with a heart and with reason and has been made in the image of god, he or she is capable of the effort of truth and sincerity which strengthens peace. Iinvite all Christians to bring to the common task the specific contribution of the Gospel which leads to the ultimate source of truth, to the Incarnate Word of God.
The Gospel says . . . The Gospel places in striking relief the bond between falsehood and murderous violence, in the words of Christ: "As it is, you want to kill me whenItell you the truth asIhave learnt it from God . . . What you are doingis what your father does ... The devil is your father, and you prefer to do what your father wants. He was a murderer from the start; he was never grounded in the truth; there is no truth in him at all; when he lies he is drawing on his own store, because he is a liar, and the father of lies" (Jn 8:40. 41, 44).
Basic Falsehood The first lie, the basic falsehood, is to refuse to believe in man, with all his capacity for greatness but at the same time with his need to be redeemed from the evil and sin within him. The idea is spreading that the individual and all humanity achieve progress principally through violent struggle. It has been thought that this could be demonstrated historically; Ingenious efforts have been made to build it into a theory.
A dvance of Justice? As long as selective support is given to certain forms of violence and the claim that the advance of justice comes through violent struggle — then niceties, restraint and selectivity will periodically give way in the face of the simple and brutal logic of violence which can go as far as the suicidal exaltation of violence for its own sake. Restoring peace means calling by their proper names act of v iolence in all their forms.
Murder is murder '
Murder must be called by its proper: murder is murder; political or ideological motives do not change its nature. The massacre of men and women, whatever their race, age or position, must be called by its proper name. Torture must be called by its proper name, so must all forms of oppression and exploitation of may by man, of man by the State, of one people by another people. The purpose is not to give oneself a clear conscience by means of loud denunciations —this would no longer be calling things by their proper names — nor to brand and condemn individuals and peoples, but to help to change people's behaviour and attitudes, and in order to give peace a chance again. To promote truth as the power of peace means that we ourselves must make a constant effort not to use the weapons of falsehood, even for a good purpose. Falsehood can cunningly creep in anywhere.
Doubt, suspicion We must make a patient and courageous effort to seek and find the higher and universal truth about man, in the light of which we shall be able to first judge ourselves and our own sincerity. It is impossible to take up an attitude of doubt, suspicion and sceptical relativism without very quickly slipping into insincerity and falsehood. Peace, is threatened when uncertainty, doubt .and suspicion reign, and violence makes good use of this. The man of peace is able to detect the portion of truth existing in every human undertaking, and moreover to discern the capacity for truth to be found within every human being. The man of peace does not shut his eyes to the tension, injustice ,ind strife that are part of our world. He looks at them squarely, calls them by their proper name, out of respect for truth. A ttuned to the things of peace, he is necessarily all the more sensitive to whatever is inconsistent with peace. This impels him to push courageously ahead and investigate the real causes of evil and injustice, in order to look for appropriate remedies.
Truth does not allow us to despair of our opponents. The man of peace inspired by truth does not equate his opponent with the error into which he sees him fall. Instead he reduces the error to its real proportions. This gives the denunciation of injustice a specific tone: such denunciation cannot always prevent those responsible for injustice from stubbornly disregarding the obvious truth, but at least it does not set out to provoke such stubbornness, the cost of which is often paid by the victims of the injustice. One of the big lies that poison relations between individuals and groups consists in ignoring all aspects of an opponent's action, even the good and just ones, for the sake of condemning him more completely. Truth follows a different path; that is why truth does not throw away any of the chances for peace. Above all, truth gives us all the more reason not to despair of the victims of injustice. It does not allow us to drive them to the despair of resignation or violence.
Rights of theperson By confirming them in awareness of their dignity and inalienable rights it gives them strength to exercise upon the forces of oppression effective pressure for transformation, pressure more effective than acts of violence, which generally lack any future — except one of greater suffering. It is because lam convinced of this thatIkeep proclaiming the dignity and the rights of the person.
Long road The path from a less human to a more human situation, both in national and in international life, is a long one, and it has to be travelled in stages. The man of peace knows this, he says so and he finds in the efforts for truth that I have just described the light he needs to keep his course set correctly. The man of violence knows it also, but he does not say so. He deceives public opinion by holding up the glittering prospect of a radical and speedy solution, and then settles into his lie and explains away the constantly repeated delays in the arrival of the freedom that had been promised and the abundance that had been assured.
Dialogue needed There is no peace without readiness for sincere and continual dialogue. Truth too requires dialogue. Truth has no fear. Truth causes minds to come together; it shows what already unites the parties that were previously opposed; it causes the mistrust of yesterday to decrease, and prepares the ground for \\‘‘ \\N
\\N
Not Church's way This is whyIwas able to say with such conviction at Drogheda in Ireland and why I now repeat: "Violence is a lie, for it goes against the truth of our faith, the truth of our humanity.... do not believe in violence; do not support violence. It is not the Christian / way." "It is not the way of the Catholic Church. Believe in peace and forgiveness and love; for they are of Christ" (nos. 9-10). Yes, the Gospel of Christ is a Gospel of peace: "Blessed are the peacemakers; they shall be called children of God" (Mt 5:9). And the driving force of evangelical peace is truth. Jesus revealed to man the full truth about man; he restores man in the truth about himself by reconciling him with God, by reconciling him with himself and by reconciling him with others. Truth is the driving power of peace because it reveals and brings about the unity of man with God, with himself and with others. Forgiveness and reconciliation are constitutive elements of the truth which strengthens peace and which builds up peace. To refuse forgiveness and reconciliation is for us to lie and to • enter into the murderous logic of falsehood.

The story of Epiphany How Christian Churches and legendary La Befana can find "tme reunion they claim to seek"
The account in the Gospel of St. Matthew of wise men from the East who brought gift of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn Jesus in Bethlehem has stimulated a long tradition of gift-giving in connection with Christmas and the feast of the Epiphany. Although the Gospel does not identify the wise men, the tradition of the early church held that they were magi, members of the priestly caste of ancient Media and Persia in what is now Iran. Their skill in magic and astrology gave them foreknowledge of Christ's birth. According to tradition, they reached Herod's court on the 12th night of Christmas, the eve of January 6, on which the feast of the Epiphany was observed for centuries. In Spain and throughout Latin America, children place their shoes filled with straw outside doors or on window-ledges so that the camels or horses of the magi may have something to eat. On the morning of January 6, the children awake to find the shoes inside the house and the straw gone, replaced by gifts left by the night visitors. Trying in the ancient Roman practice of exchanging gifts in conjunction with the calends, or first day, January, Italians awaite the arrival of La Befana, a legendary figure whose name is derived from the Italian for Epiphany.
Low birth According to the old story, La Befana was a woman of low birth who had lost both husband and child. Living alone, she had little social contact. One night, however, a group of men speaking with a foreign accent and wearing exotic clothes came to her door seeking directions to Bethlehem. Questioning them, she learned that they were seeking a newborn king who would rid the world of injustice. Although she did not know the way, indeed, had never heard of the town they sought, she felt a strong impulse to join them in the search. But deciding it would be more practical to wait until daylight, she stood by the door as the men went their way. Soon after their departure, she saw astounding displays of light and clouds in the sky. Realizing that something momentous was happening and recalling the words of the three men about the strange star they were following, she decided to hurry after them.
Late departure Going back into the house she looked for a gift to bring to the newborn king. The only things the poor woman could find were a doll and a ball that her own child had used. She wrapped them in straw and covered the bundle with a purple cloth she had dyed. But when morning came, she had not found the strangers. Even the guiding star had disappeared. La Befana realized that she had set out too "-'late and had lost the privilege of seeing the child. So, every year on the 12th night after Christmas, La Befana sets out in the hope that the miraculous birth will be repeated and that she will find the newborn king. Entering every house where children live, she leaves a gift for the Christ-child who may be among them.
Russian story'
In Russia, the story of Baboushka is similar to that of La Befana, but more cynical. 13aboushka gave the magi wrong directions and later turned the Holy Family away from her door when they sought shelter during the flight into Egypt to avoid King Herod's wrath. Repenting of her deceitfulness and lack of charity, she set out to find the Christ-child but was too late. Therefore, every year she wanders through Russia in her search but is doomed to failure. Nonetheless, she perseverees. Upon entering the house, she holds a candle to the face of each sleeping child to see if it bears the sign of holiness. Puzzled by the innocence she finds, she places a gift under the pillow and hastens on to the next house. At one time, the Bulgarians celebrated the birthday of Christ on January 6 andchildren then received gifts brought by Grandfather Koleda, a

pagan winter god pressed into service in the Christian tradition. Another custom at Epiphany in Bulgaria, Rumania and Greece, with slight variants, is that of blessing the house with basil dipped in holy water. The officiating priest then receives coins, yard goods and food from the householder. The total from the parish suffices to keep him for the coming year. In Syria, either the Magic Mule or the Gentle Camel delivers gifts on the eve of the Epiphany. The legend of the mule says that a man tied his mule to a tree at midnight in order to attend to some urgent business. Upon returning he saw that the mule was tied to the topmost part of the tree. At midnight on the 12th night of Christmas, all trees bend to earth in honour of the newborn king and when the tree resumed its natural position, the mule was swept up with it. The mule that "flew" became magical and was the gift bearer thereafter.
"Immortal" camel In other parts of Syria, the camel plays that role. It was the youngest camel of those that brought the magi to Bethlehem. Tired because of his youth, the camel fell moaning to the ground before the newborn king, who took pity on him and made him immortal by his blessing. Syrian children set out water and wheat for the Gentle Camel and he leaves gifts for good children. Other lands have similar traditions. While Santa Claus is the best known gift bearer in North America and elsewhere, he was many companions among the gift-bearers of the Epiphany.

120-mile run honours the 'smiling pope" BELLUNO, Italy (NC) — Teams of runners carried flaming torches from a quiet, snowblanketed Dolomites Mountain village to the coastal city of Venice, Italy, in a 120mi1e marathon last month to honour the "smiling Pope," John Paul I.
PRINCETON, N.J. (NC) — The Christian Churches can find the true reunion they claim to seek only if all of them continue the reform in which they were founded, Sulpician Father Raymond E. Brown told a seminar on ecumenism. "Sometimes I get the feeling that Protestants feel sometimes that Roman Catholics are reforming themselves and someday they will get t o where we are." remarked Father Brown. "But that is not the spirit of reform. It should be continuing." Father Brown, a professor of biblical studies, noted that many positive ecumenical developments that seemed impossible have taken place in the past 20 years, and said that unity among Christian churches could be possible 20 years from now in the year 2000.
VATICAN II "If Vatican H may be looked on as truly an inner Catholic reform, I ask whether in the next 20 years this continued reform may not help us to achieve that which people on both sides wish —
Father Brown pointed out that the reformers of the 16th century never intended to establish new churches but to call the Roman church to what it should be. Nevertheless, the politics of Europe froze the Reformation and assured the splintering of churches. He also noted that Vatican II was not the reform of the 16th century but a reform from within taking place at a time when the Catholic Church seemed tranquil, prosperous and growing. The Roman church has made a tremendous start and the machinery to continue reform is still there, said Father Brown.
CHALLENGE He then challenged the Protestant members of his audience to ask themselves whether the spirit of reform is still alive in their churches. "Is there the machinery to continue the thrust of self-reform of the Protestant churches so that in the year 2000 we will find ourselves close enough that we will find ourselves one?" he asked. But mainline Protestant churches from the Reformation have had splinter churches formed by pople who found change unacceptable, he said. "The sense of the original reforms that they were not founding a new church has been lost."

reland's faith endures !bans baptised: I GALWAY, IRELAND 1658 Irish Dominican nuns living in this west coast town are a symbol of England's failure to destroy Irish Catholic faith. Their Convent of Jesus and Mary was founded here in 1644. It was the first convent of Dominican nuns in Ireland. The faith established by St. Patrick in the 5th century has withstood the most recent onslaught on it by troops of Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell, the self-styled Lord Protector of England, died this year. He invaded Ireland in 1649, crushing Irish resistance, after he had defeated the executed England's KingCharles 1st.
Families' rule Dean Michael O'Flaherty of Galway was asked about the conflict with England. "The Irish" he said, "have had trouble with England since the 12th century when Henry 2 was England's king. "Henry invaded Ireland and established English rule along the east coast. Elsewhere in Ireland there were powerful, independent, Irish kingships. "These were controlled by the families of O'Neill, O'Donnell, O'Conor, O'Brien, MacCarthy and MacMorrough. "Over the years English colonists settled along the east coast. An area know as 'The Pale' came into existence". "People of Irish race were excluded from the Pale. Its boundary stretched to about 80 km from Dublin". "Strong English administrators governed the Pale. Conditions there were much the same as in England. "In time, the descendents of these original colonists were unfriendly towards new English settlers.
"Bloody heretic" "As English royal power lessened the Pale became less exclusive. "Powerful Anglo-lrish families began to evolve, e.g. the Fitzgeralds of Kildare, the Butlers of Kilkenny and the Burkes of Connaught. "The Fitzgeralds began to dominate the Pale. They became lieutenants of the English kings. "When Henry 8 declared himself Head of the Church the Fitzgeralds rose against this 'bloody heretic' as they called him. "Henry's army subdued them. Some (even clergy) within the Pale nominally accepted Henry as Head of the Church. The rest retired to safer areas beyond the Pale.
The monasteries "Monasteries within the Pale were dissolved and their lands and assets were confiscated by Henry. Attempts to abolish the Mass, made later. met with too much opposition. "Under Queen Elizabeth the locals were driven from the Irish midlands to make way for more English colonists. "This policy caused a rebellion led by Hugh O'Neill and Hugh O'Donnell. They sought and received military aid from Catholic Spain. "The resultant war ended only when king James I succeeded Elizabeth.
Rebels'pardon "He agreed to pardon the Irish rebels. He gave them lands and titles to shut them up. "However, under pressure from his Ministers, the king went ahead with further colonization of Ireland. "Ithink that the English, sincethe attack by the Spanish Armada, have feared invasion by a Catholic power possibly using Ireland as a backdoor" "So in 1611 the English parliament organized c olonization of northern Ireland. Anglican English and Presbyterian Scots were settled around Belfast and Londonderry in the north.
A nti-Catholic "While struggling for supremacy among tliemseWes t he Anglicans and Presbyterians were always united against the Catholic Irish. I n 1641 the Irish people rebelled against being Pushed around by these new landowners. c, 'Irish rebel forces massacred English and 'eottish settlers in the north.
Around the Churches this week An up-to-the-moment report by Father JOSEPH RUSSELL "England was in civil war at the time, with King Charles I and his Cavaliers fighting against Cromwell's Puritan Roundheads. "After deafeating the king, Cromwell turned on Ireland. He slaughtered Irish garrisons and any Catholic priest he could find" "Catholics had their land confiscated (unless they could prove they had not fought against England) and were forcibly shipped abroad".
Mass treason "Celebration of Mass was declared to be an act of treason. "Those Catholics who were allowed to own land were allowed to own it only in Connaught, north of Galway; or else be deported from Ireland. "We have to go to hell or Connaught" was the Irish lament. Despite the repression Catholics still meet for Mass. Priests caught saying Mass are no longer executed, but imprisoned. Now that General Cromwell is dead it is not clear what will happen to this country. One thing seems sure: as long as Irish Catholics are denied their rights by the English there will be trouble in this beautiful country.
Galway Saint Peter was asked what fun it was supposed to be in becoming a member of the Church of Rome that he founded if all it meant was years and years of persecution ahead of them: It have a soft spot for Galway. I ts Bay reminds me of our Galilee Sea. It is about the same size. Ibelieve they speak a language that strangers do not know. It was a bit like that in Galilee. A ad, being Jews, we Galileans were oppressed by a foreign power, too. But HE never encouraged military action against Rome rule. HE did say once 'Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar'. When persecution first caused Christians to emigratefrom Palestine they brought the Faith to other lands. Perhaps Irish immigrants are destined to do the same.

Ministers of Christian denominations and of other religions formed a Religious Observance Committee whose tent is prominently sited in the central display area.

CINCINNATI (NC) — The Glenmary Home Missioners have eliminated sexist language in their prayer for home missions by changing one word. In the prayer, written by Father William How9Fel Bishop, who founded the order in 1939, the first phrase has been changed from "Lord Jesus Christ who for the salvation of all men . ." to "Lord Jesus Christ who for salvation of all people.. . ." The rest of the prayer remains unchanged. The change was adopted by the executive council of Glenmary and the general council of the Glenmary Sisters.

Jesuits' S.O.S from threatened famine areas Reports from every part of the Australian Jesuit Mission in India tells of the very serious threat of famine in the Hazaribagh and Palamau Districts of South Bihar. Father Bob Slattery, S.J. has written: "Our news is bad. the rains have failed. In all my 22 years in India I have never experienced a more disastrous monsoon. Our cropforthe hostel isdyingasthere is not enough water in the well. Just imagine what the water situation will be like in a month's time. Everybody is concerned." In times of drought and hunger poor people in particular are prone to disease. The old and the very young. these*, the lepers are the ones who suffer most. To meet the emergency the Mission must immediately build up reserves of food, milk for mothers and babies, and medicines. The bulk of the people in the Mission area are thepoorest of the poor. A famine of any magnitude would spell complete disaster for them. From all parts of the Mission, Priests andNunsappeal to Australians who have it so good to be extra generous to these very deprived people threatened with hunger. sickness and death.
