THE ISSUE The general issue that

seems to have worried the

Roman authorities about "The Church" was Father Kung's refusal to set the church up as an absolute and his insistence on its provisional nature, on its being the pointer towards the kingdom but not the kingdom itself. More specifically, the authorities took exception to his suggestion that in an emergency the exercise of the priesthood was possible without ordination as commonly understood.

"SORRY" The Vatican congregation then asked Father Kung to come to Rome for discussions. But the letter summoning him to rome reached him in Tubingen only five days before the date fixed and in the middle of the university term. So the day before he was due in Rome he sent the congregation a telegram saying: "Sorry can't make it. Letter follows." This was the beginning of the long-drawn-out r ow between Father Kung and the doctrinal congregation over his attending a hearing, Father Kung insisted on a number of conditions,

While this dispute rumbled on it, another arose from the publication in 1970 of "Infallible? An Inquiry." In this Father Kung criticized the concept of infallibility, which he saw as tieing the church to what he considered its past mistakes, such as the condemnation of birth control. He suggested instead the concept of indefectibility, which meant that the church remained in the truth, despite all possible errors in detail it might

THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1980

COWE CAMPS Past pupils of St. E dmunds College, Collie held their first weekend retreat at the new Busselton Catholic Camp last month. Of the fourteen girls and nine boys who attended the c amp some had just completed their tertiary admission exams at Collie High School; others had just completed Year Eleven, three were already working and two attended colleges in Perth. The camp was convened by Sister Perpetua, Presentation, and was intended to r einforce the Christian v alues that had been established at the Catholic school and ensure that these values grew in the youths' lives in their new enviroment of work and study. Helping in the camp were Brothers Pat O'Doherty, Luke Flanagan, principal of St. Edmunds, Terry Casey, one-time teacher at Collie and Sister Romanus, of St. John of God Hospital Bunbury.

REUNIONS The theme of the camp was "To Jesus Through Mary". Through prayer experiences, liturgy, study of Scripture, reflection and group discussion, students explored the dimensions of Christian experience in their lives and considered the role of Christ in their future occupations. The weekend offered an opportunity of reunion for former classmates4 many of whom had spent ten years together at St. Brigid's and St. Edmund's. Former teachers were also delighted at the opportunity to see their old pupils again. A final review on Sunday morning allowed for a reflection on Pope John Paul's address to young people and gave everyone the opportunity to express his thoughts on the significance of the weekend experience. The thoughts expressed were most encouraging. Thanks were expressed to all who participated and organized, including Wanda and Danita Wallik, who acted as cooks for the weekend. A month previously Collie parish also held a family life eatnn at the Serpentine B aptist Centre which attracted ten families from as far away as Walliston and Manjimup as ssegl as a number of young people from Collie. Collie parish priest, Father Peter McGrath OFM attended the camp which had as its theme "The PatnilY, the Individual and the Church".

THE RECORD

GERMAN BISHOPS'

COLOGNE (NC) : The banning of Professor Kung was "Inevitable" and "there was no longer any other way out", Cardinal Hoffner said in a statement on behalf of the German Bishops, three days after the Vatican decision.

Noting that Bishop Moser of Rottenburg-Stuttgart in who whose diocese the University of Tubingen is situated had withdrawn the "nihil obstat" issued to Hans Kung 19 years ago so that he could teach in the State-run university, the cardinal said that for a decade the bishops had tried to reach a clarification on basic theological questions. Affirming "without reserve" the decision of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the German Bishops' statement continues:

Professor Kung in general asserts that he wants to preserve and strengthen the content of the Christological dogmas, but in fact he obscures and reduces their univocal enunciations. When there is little clarity on fundamental points concerning the mystery of the person of Jesus Christ, the heart not only of the Catholic faith but of Christian faith in general is threatened. Therefore it is no accident that Professor Kung presents the doctrine on the divine Trinity, the church, the sacraments and Mary in an insufficient way as well. Such deficiencies have contributed to an anguishing confusion in faith. The faithful, on the other hand, have the right to a full and unequivocal presentation of the inalienable truths of the faith. The authority of the magisterium and of the pastoral government of the church must provide for that.

Infallibility

Warning in 1967

The main reason for this decision is seen by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the opinion of Professor Kungregarding infallibility in the church. All the Christian churches and ecclesial communities teach that the church of Jesus Christ is indestructible, because it is founded on the inviolable power and firm credibility of the Word of God. Even if always in need of new reflection and never completely fulfilled until the end of history, the church's faith nevertheless involves a binding "yes" and a clear "no". Otherwise it is not possible for the church to remain in the truth of Christ. Futhermore the Catholic Church is convinced that there is confered upon it in its totality and, in a special way, upon the authorities in it (the episcopate, council, pope) the gift of the Spirit to safeguard and interpret correctly, in the very power of its own truth, the Word of God revealed once-and-for-all. The church's permanence in truth is thus connected with several pronouncements of faith which have different degrees of obligatoriness. Formulations that serve to interpret the testimony as understood by Sacred Scripture and that are truly pronounced by the church with definitive obligatoriness, are called "dogmas" in the strict sense. The First Vatican Council (1870) declared as a dogma the infallibility of the pope in his doctrinal teaching and at the same time described the conditions for such an authoritative pronouncement on the basis of the tradition of the church. the Second Vatican Council confirmed and filled out this doctrine. Professor Hans Kung in his book (Infallibility? An inquiry", Zurich, 1970, and in other writings reduced this doctrine to the meaning of maintaining a fundamental continuity of the church in the truth, which, however, could be veconciled with errors of fact in decisions of faith made by the church in an irrevocable manner.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith warned Professor Kung back in 1967 after the publication of his book "The Church". On April 30, 1968 the congregation told him that it had examined his book and invited him for a conversation. Even though he declared himself open to this in principle, the conversation did not take place despite repeated invitations. After the publication of the book "Infallible? An inquiry" 1970, the congregation began a doctrinal procedure over certain opinions in that book and asked Professor Kung to answer questions sent to him by the congregation. The voluminous exchange of letters did not bring a response satisfactory to the congregation.

Revision The church thus would remain in the truth "notwithstanding all the errors ever possible." The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith sees in this opinion an attenuation of the gift of the infallibility of the church and a violation or radical obfuscation of the dogma of 1870. Professor Kung recently spoke of a redress, a "revision of the decisions of Vatican I". The dogma of infallibility in the church can seem at first sight to be marginal in the totality of the faith. In reality, in it are concentrated fundamental problems, such as, for example, the knowledge of truth and interpretation of revelation, its verbal form and its tradition, the certainty of the faith and the grounds of the power of authority in the church. In this area that serves true knowledge of divine revelation, the appearance of errors brings damage to the faith itself.

"Dangerous limits" The theological method practised by Professor Kung, with the dangerous limits too often in evidence (in his works), brings as a result a break with the theological tradition of faith and doctrine on principal points. That shows itself above all in Kung's affirmations concerning the person of Jesus Christ. On the central Christological question, whether Jesus Christ is really Son of God, in other words,if he is of the degree and level of being of God, without diminution, Kung, notwithstanding all his attempts at clarification, avoids a confession that is decisive and formulated in binding words. From ancient times the Christians professed: "We believe ... in one Lord, Jesus Christ, only-begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages: God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father" (as in the great profession of faith of Nicea, 325). This implies consequences for our salvation: if in Jesus Christ, God himself has not given himself for men, then the central point of Christian revelation falls. All the pronouncements, even those on the "human" being, that is on the humanity of Jesus, are really important for the Christian faith only if they are intrinsically connected with Jesus Christ as truly being God.

Teachings refuted As a result, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, by reason of its duty to safeguard and promote the faith throughout the church, on July 6, 1973, published the declaration "The Mystery of the Church", in which the teachings of the professor of Tubingen were refuted. In reference to the declaration the congregation communicated to Professor Kung that the possibility remained open for a conversation concerning the two doctrinal procedures. If Professor Kung should recognize the doctrine contained in the declaration the current procedure concerning the two books would be closed. Despite the meditation of Cardinal Dopfner, the conversation proposed by Rome to clarify events did not come about. After Professor Kung, in a letter of Sept. 4, 1974, assured the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that he wanted to make use of the "time for reflection" granted him, not excluded as a result "conformity" of his teaching with that of the magisterium, the congregation in a declaration of Feb. 15, 1975, applied to him "for now, by mandate of Paul VI, the warning not to maintain such doctrines any longer."

"Closed for now

99

The doctrinal procedure of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was "declared closed for now in regard to this theme." The German Bishops' Conference, Feb. 17, 1975, reminded Professor Kung of the principles for the basic understanding of Catholic theology, which were not taken sufficiently into account in some of his works. That applied above all to the teaching on the person of Jesus Christ contained in Kung's book "On Being Christian", 1974. Since many attempts to assure that Professor Kung had integrated his thought (cf. The conversation of Stuttgart that lasted several hours on January 22, 1977) ended in failure, the German Bishops' Conference on November 17, 1977, published a declaration on the book "On Being Christian". At the same time the related correspondence was also published. The promise made by Kung as a result, to clarify the challenged themes in his most recent work, "Does God Exist?", Munich, 1978, again was not borne out.

Opinions repeated Professor Kung, despite the warning of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of February 15, 1975, in the spring of 1979 not only repeated his opinions on infallibility in the church, but represented them in a still sharper manner in a number of articles. In its latest decision the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith reflects on this flagrant violation of the conditions imposed for the temporary suspension of procedure in 1975. The present decision taken can be understood only in the light of this decade-long period of discussion and controversy. The representatives of the Roman Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the presidents of the German Bishops' Conference, especially Cardinals Dopfner Volk, as well as the competent Bishop of Rottenburg, Bishop George Moser in many letters of different kinds, in personal conversations and in many initiatives have sought to reach a clarification of the

AND situation that was created. In this they always recognized an important role for theological discussion.

Invitations refused Professor Kung neither accepted the invitations to a colloquy expressed for years by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith nor answered the questions asked of him by the German Bishops' Conference. The temporary suspension of the doctrinal procedure and the "warning" of 1975, which were not foreseen from a juridical and procedural points of view, constituted a way to make an encounter most possible and an attempt to overcome the conflicts in a new way. Professor Kung did not take advantage of this possibility — which is true despite contrary declarations on his part of being available for dialogue - he did not allow himself to determine either from the vast theological discussion or from the initiatives by the magisterium to integrate, modify or correct his teachings. His attacks, in part excessive, on the discipline and order of the church must also be placed in this context.

Bishops ground For these reasons the decision taken on the part of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was made inevitable. It grieves the German Bishops' Conference that so many attempts at another solution failed. In recent years church authority has often been admonished to tolerate within the ambit of the church doctrinal dissidents of this kind and on the other hand to proceed, for example, against Archbishop Lefebvre and his followers. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the German Bishops Conference, and indeed the Bishop of Rottenburg have left no doubt that they have not lost sight of their duty to guard the faith of the church. The members of the church, for their part, have a right' to have faithful preaching and certainty in the faith (not to be confused with a false security!), made possible through the magisterial authority of the church and with that indeed through infallibility by means of the Holy Spirit. Being committed to this conviction means maintaining the identity of the Catholic Church. This identity, however, is the presupposition for a true ecumenical dialogue and for the fulfillment of the tasks of the church in society.

Still a priest The German Bishops' Conference asks the faithful of the Catholic church, other Christians and all men interested in the life of the church to see and judge the decision of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith with this background in mind. The events have been known publicly for years and, as such, are verifiable. The authority of the church will not let itself be dissuaded from this disappointing event in searching also in the future, whenever it is a matter of reaching a clarification on controverted theological opinions, a solution on the basis of sincere dialogue. Professor Kung is not, because of this, excluded from the church. He remains a priest. Regarding the revocation of the "nihil obstat" however, he loses his mandate to teach Catholic theology in the name of the church and as a teacher recognised by the church.

She is Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque (38). Sister Margaret Mary belongs to the Visitation Order founded by a widow, Mrs. Jane Frances De Chantal, early in this century.

Christ appeared According to reports Sister Margaret Mary claims that Christ appeared to her while she was praying before the Blessed Sacrament. He pointed to His heart which she could see. She says that His heart was surrounded by flames, surmounted by a cross, encircled by a crown of thorns and pierced by gaping wound. "Look at this heart," He is alleged to have said, "which has loved people so much and receives only ingratitude and coldness in return" "I want you to make reparation for this ingratitude and get others to make reparation". In subsequent alleged appearances to her He made a number of promises to those who would make a reparation. Local priest, Fr. Gaston Pondere, knows Sister Margaret Mary personally.

a reward for being 'worthy' "It was meant to be a medicine for being weak" ."The members of my Sacred Heart Confraternity, instead of trying to love God perfectly, are all becoming blessed perfectionists" Jansenists have been defended by brilliant writer, Mr. Blaise Pascal. Mr Pascal is a convert to Catholicism. He has attacked the French Jesuits, the chief critics of Jansenism. Vincentian Fathers, in their parish Missions, have been strong critics of Jansenism, too.

New sects appear Three successive Popes have condemned Jansenism. Meanwhile the English are showing that they can produce more than new games, like cricket. A new Protestant sect, the Society of Friends or 'Quakers', has been produced by Mr. George Fox. This Sect opposes organized worship or Sacraments. Members rely on direct guidance from God. They place great value on silence. They are pacifists. Many have gone to America to avoid persecution in England. Maybe the 1642 discoveries of the new lands of New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land will provide further places of refuge. Reports from Dutch navigators indicate another huge, barren land in those parts.

Heavily criticised "She has had a bad time of it" he said. "Even nuns in her convent ridiculed the whole . thing" "Personally,I believe her" "She's not give to 'acting'. I've never heard her say anything contrary to Church teaching" "Devotion to the Heart of our Lord is nothing new" "St. Augustine had it way back in theearly days of the Church." "So did the Benedictines, and St. Gertrude" -Sister Margaret Mary has suffered a lot of ill health with a lot of patience. That's a sign of being well-balanced.

Too much confusion Saint Peter was asked what possible good was to be gained from allowing all these new fangled sects and their opponents multiply to the extent that everyone was confused about the real meaning of Christianity: To stress all HIS teachings at the same time is hard like remembering all the things to do when trying to hit a golf or cricket ball. .Maybe in 300 years time the Church will be stressing things these Sects stress, such as peace, silence, or the importance of the congregation. A t least it should always he stressing love, as HE did. I'llneverforget HIMcooking thatfishntealfor us andaskingme 3 times: Peter, do you love ME?'

'Hearts' everywhere "The late Fr. Claude de la Colombiere S.J. was her spiritual director when he was Rector of the Jesuit College here" "He certainly believed in her visions" So do many of the locals. Small replicas oft he Sacred Heart are available in the shops here. Many people wear them around their necks. "Devotion to the Sacred Heart is recognition that God is a loving God "says Fr. Pondere. "This Devotion will be very helpful in combating current Jansenistic trends". Jansenism takes its name from the late, highlyrespected bishop of Ypres, Dr. C.O. Jansen.

Adelaide priests write on the role of the laity. BISHOP Leonard Faulkner, of Townsville, who is secretary of the Australian Bishop's Committee for the Laity, has warmly commended a new book, "Parish and Lay Renewal," which is the work of two Adelaide priests, Fr P.R.

COMMENDED Bishop Leonard Faulkner, secretary of the Australian Bishops' committee for the laity, enthusiastically commends the book in a foreword. "I would hope that it would be read and studied in all p resbyteries, religious houses and seminaries in Australia," he said. ."Diocesan and parish pastoral councils, senates of priests and pastoral planning groups will 'certainly appreciate and value this work."

Simon WILLIAMS brings up his gifts at the Christmas Mass for the deaf.

"TOGETHER" He says that in August, 1979. the bishops' committee f or the laity issued a statement, The Individual Christian's Vocation. This statement arose from a pastoral discussion by the bishops on Redeemer of Man. "We bishops were convinced that the whole Church must act together to bring Christ and his Gospel to the people of today," Bishop Faulkner says. " Bishop, priests and religious, we felt, must help lay-people discover and fulfil their unique and unrepeatable mission in the world. "Without a dynamic laity, conscious of its personal ministry to the world, the Church, in effect, does not speak or act.

Seminary not to close; shooting of a student CLEVELAND (NC) — The bishop of Cleveland has decided that the shooting of a seminarian will not make the diocese move St. Mary Seminary, located on the city's east side.

A seminary student, Michael Betliskey, was shot in the back during a robbery attempt near the school and remains Father WILKINSON ('left) and Father MAYNE paralyzed from the waist down. His shooting prompted concern about moving the seminary to a safer neighborhood, but Bishop Hickey announced that the seminary will stay.

GIFTS AT MASS FOR THE DEAF An end of the year Mass for Catholic deaf a partnership was built by handing over gifts to the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. The deaf people present at the Mass in St. Denis church brought gifts up to the altar during Mass and later they handed them to the St. Vincent de Paul Society for d istribution to needy families. Prayers and hymns during the Mass were all supported by coloured projections. More than a 100 people were in the congregation and, along with organ accompaniment, the hearing impaired could join with t ambourines, feeling the rhythm rather than hearing it.

Criteria given by Ignatius Christ stressed above all.

During our course on Ignatian spirituality, in Rome, it was pointed out to us that the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola are an exercise to be done, not studied. The one, who gives them is fiot a director, God is the director. He is a sensitive facilitator of the action of God in the exereitant.

Pain and sacrifice: Comfort versus r earing a family.

A s children we choose pleasurable things and shy away from hurt and pain, but from observing adults, a child shouldlearnthat pain andsacrifice are a part of life. As we grow older we realise we are called to make many sacrifices; we do not know when or to what extent we will be asked t obear pain and sorrow.

When young couples delay having a family until they have everything money can buy, I wonder if they understand the meaning of sacrifice.

The Chinese have one singie word for love and pain, and this seems to apply in the case of this young mother.

W hen a young couple expect their first child they know they will have to face many sacrifices in bringing up their child.

YACHT TRIP

LETTER TO EDITOR In reference to the Choice advertisement, surely once can only hope to have the wonderful experience mentioned if one identifies with the various aspects Choice has to offer. The Choice programme is not intended to be a panacea to life's problems and to advertise it with a money back guarantee is short of commercialism. Isn't it said "you can only get out of life what you put in". G. WOOD and M. VEST. EDITOR: It is pleasing to see interest in the Youth Column. Some things in life are free. The graces and

blessings of a Choice weekend are a free gift from God, but unfortunately the materials, literature and food of the weekend cost money. Experience has shown that the weekend satisfies young participants.

"Cou priests" rob the Jesuits

ROME (NC) — Set a priet to rob a priest? Two young men in quiet gray suits, black turtlenecked sweaters and slightly embarrassed smiles appeared in the Jesuit generalate near St. Peter's. Provincial priests. evidently: neat and modest and slightly countrified, they were in sharp contrast to the casually dressed city folks who actually live in t he big Jesuit headquarters. B ut once in the b uilding, the two "bumpkins" produced t wo very sophisticated pistols and ordered, "Hands up!" • T hey. then helped thems.eVies to $25,000 in payroll cash and took their leave. A police search of the area failed to find them. And, indeed, the one clue t o their identity only added insult-to injury. For, like St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jew's, the t wo "pro\ incial priests" were Spamiirds.

Catholic schools and new world

WOLLONGONG: ENROLMENTS in Catholic schools may start to decline next year, according to the Director of the Federal Catholic Education Office, Brother Aloysius Carmody. In a talk to Wollongong Catholic Dinner club, titled "Educating the New Man", Brother Carmody said that the drop in the birthdate during the 1960s had led in the 1970s to a stabilisation or a decline in the school population. "That statement is an overall assertion," he said. "fri our Catholic schools, numbers are still increasing, and in August 1978 the total number of pupils was 506.056. "Next year we may see the commencement of a decline in enrolments in Catholic Schools.

NON-GOVT "The numbers in secondary classes will continue to rise until 1984. "But against this, there is a definite movement of pupils from government to non-government schools and an increase in the number of nonCatholic children in our schools could minimise any decline." Brother Carmody said the great problem for future planning was "internal migration" — new areas being opened on the outskirts of cities and towns.

TEACHERS New schools were called for, and with the drastic cuts in government capital grants, it was very difficult for Catholic diocesan education offices to provide sufficient places for pupils, he said. In the classroom, the drop in enrolments and the difficulty of providing new schools, had changed the problem from a teacher shortage to teacher over-supply. This surplus had been cushioned in Catholic schools by an improvement of resources such as a reduction in clas.s sizes and provision of ancillary staff.

PROBLEM "But a problem is arising in the placing of the graduates of our Catholic teachers' colleges," he said. "For the reason I have just given, the majority have been placed up to now. "If the numbers of pupils in Catholic schools continue to increase, there will be more schools and more classes, if we can afford them. "If there is a cut-back, fewer teachers will be required. "There will always be a need for young lay teachers in Catholic schools. "The problem is to establish what will be the demand three years ahead when they commence their course." Brother Carmody said that education was no longer a period of full-time study before entering a vocation. It required a continuation of education throughout life to meet the varying demands of citizenship, vocation and personal development. "This is of course education in a wider sense than just schooling.

WIDE RANGE "It is really a life-to-death process and involves

a much wider range of educational experiences

than can be provided in a classroom. "When we consider these modern times, you can see why there have been changes in school curricula to adapt to the development of new knowledge, to new applications and to changes in employment patterns. "We are well into the computer age, into the electronic age and indeed into the microelectronic age.

THE CHIP "We have already entered the era of the silicon chip which will influence so much ourtechnology before the finish of this century. Brother Carmody said that curricula had to recognise and instruct on issues such at energy c onservation, and which children at school were living closer to than children of a generation ago. "Ninety per cent of scientific knowledge has been acquired since the beginning of this century. It is impossible to keep up with it, nor is it necessary." 4.4-4>4$041. 1 4.49.04.041

Brother Carmody said that the medieval idea of omniscient man was unattainable in an age of speciality. Educating the new man, especially during schooling, was providing him with the tools and judgement to cope with the current, perceived complexities of life. "It is a very delicate task", he said. "It will not always be 100 per cent successful, as education involves many interpersonal r elationships and coping with various eventualities.

SKILLS

Fundamental were the skills of literacy and numeracy, Brother Carmody said. "Without a facility in all these by the end of primary school, a child is handicapped and will require remedial teaching. "There is no stigma in remedial teaching. But why wait until it is necessary'!" Brother Carmody said that complexities of schooling, extended to Catholic schools whose total education concept included the spiritual dimensions to help young people determine the reason of their being, particularly their relationship with Almighty God. He said the duties and standards of religious faith were under pressure from secular society, causing worry in most families. There Should be (perhaps in some cases there is not) a moment of conversion, when the notional acceptance of the articles of faith and the Commandments of God were made one's own. "I see here the basic problem of catechetics — how to bring our student to a full acceptance. "Many do; but many do not at least during their school years." Brother Carmody said that television, other media and acquaintances which influenced the incompletely formed conscience of the young with deviations from Christian standards made the job of teaching them difficult.

THE PAST He questioned whether such unrecognised d eviations had swayed the student revolutionaries in the "silly 60s" and was also responsible for leading many young Australians to reject religion. "You can see what both parents and teachers are up against. "You can see how methods of the past do not necessarily fill present needs." Brother Carmody said that there had been tremendous adaptation in Catholic schools during recent years. He said that the document. The Catholic School, issued by the Sacred Congregation of Catholic Education in March 1977, set out clearly the importance of the mission of the Catholic school. It acknowledged present difficulties and that education of the 'new' man called for high degrees of devotion and love from parents and teachers.

CHANGES

Brother Carmody said that another major quandry facing education was how to prepare young people for positions that do not yet exist. He outlined some of the educational changes over the past 25 years: • A move from selective and segregated secondary education to a universal and comprehensive secondary education as part of the educational philosophy of equal opportunity for all. • Major increases in the number of secondary and tertiary students, following increases in population. • Increased public debate on the role and achievement of schools. Schools were not the panacea for all social ills. "The debate on the role and achievement of schools is healthy," said Brother CarmodN,. "Schools should not be completely independent, but should be sensitive to the nerds of their constituents."
