'Difficult cases' at the World Synod; secrecy VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II has indicated that he may impose some secrecy clamps on the discussions during the Autumn World Synod of Bishops. In a speech to the council of the general secretariat of the synod, he also said that "difficult cases" regarding marriage should be discussed at the synod. These involve, he said, single parents, separated and divorced catholics, the needs of the widowed and the role of priests and laity in family ministry.
WARNING In a series of remarks at the beginning of the audience the pope warned against "useless publicity" about the synod. "It will be necessary, indeed, as far as possible, to eliminate useless publicity," he said. The purpose of the council meeting was preparation of the syilod agenda. Decisions made by the council will be sent, after papal approval, to the members of the general assembly of the synod. "The synod must in reality fortify the convictions of christians," the pope told the council. Speaking on the synod's theme, "the role of the Christian family cannot be separated from matrimony, since the couple constitutes the first form of family and keeps its value even in the absence of Children.
WIDOWS He said that one of the topics to be considered include separated and
divorced catholics, marriage preparation, single parents, the role of priests and the laity in family ministry, the needs of the widowed. Regarding marriage cases, the pope said: "We cannot forget the pastoral solicitude which the difficult cases require: those of homes which know separation, those of divorced and civilly remarried persons who, without being able to have full access to the sacramental life, must be accompanied in their spiritual and apostolic needs wherever possible, the case of widows and widowers, the case of single persons who have children." The day before, the pope celebrated a memorial mass for Vittorio Bachelet, the University of Rome political science professor and former president of Italian Catholic Action, who was killed by Red Brigade terrorists. Eight cardinals and about 25,000 lay people, mostly Catholic Action members, attended the e vening mass in St. Peter's Basilica with Italian Prime Minister Francesco Cossiga and other political leaders were present. "For the blood of this new victim, the church raises its voice in order that men may find themselves again and, with renewed commitment, work for the salvation of

their homeland," Pope John Paul said in his homily.
COLLEAGUE The pope praised his "esteemed friend" Bachelet as a father, as a student, as a servant of the national community, as custodian of culture, as promoter of the common good." Bachelet was a member of the Vatican's Committee for the Family at the same time as Cardinal Karol Wojtyla of Cracow, Poland, who later became Pope John Paul Concelebrants with the Pope included Bachelet's brothers, Adolfo and Paolo, both Jesuit Priests, and Cardinal Marcoce of Venice.
$1.2 m. to restore cathedral
M ILAN, (NC) Milan's city government has allotted $1.2 million to restore the city's Gothic cathedral after pieces of decaying statues snapped off and crashed into the streets recently. The cathedral has been fenced off since the frag mentation of the statues, which is thought to have been caused principally by smog. Cathedral officials esti mated a total expense of $9.6 million to tho roughly clean and restore the external statues of the church and to strengthen inside pillars weakened by a shifting water table under the cathedral. The office in charge of cathedral maintenance r eceives aboat $1.6 million a year from the municipality of Milan. It also relies on bequests of money from wealthy citi fens, although donations have dropped in recent years. City restoration officials cite pigeon droppings and traffic vibrations as the other principal causes of the deterioration of the
The chairman of Rockingham Pregnancy Help committee Mr. David BEARD demonstrates to Bishop HEALY the phone answering serve inaugurated last Sunday.
New Pregnancy Help phone service at Rockingham Two callers beat the gun for the opening of the new Rockingham Pregnancy Help service and one call was from a mother seeking an abortion for adolescent daughter. The service was officially dedicated and opened by Bishop Healy last Sunday but a notice in the local newspaper in the preceding week drew two calls the day after the service was switched on. The phone service, providing a 24hour contact number operates from a unit in the Rockingham parish council room. It is the result of concern felt by local ladies at the number of abortions reputed to be happening in the district and the fact that an abortion advice service was prominently advertised in the district eight months ago.
TRAINED
The matter was discussed at a Majellan meeting and six women have been trained by Centrecare Pregnancy Help to man the phone for a
Following the ladies' initiative, the parish council offered to fund the purchase of the phone answering equipment and initial installation. The Rockingham Pregnancy Help will now look for its own support funds to keep up a programme of local advertising and further running expenses. The new service works in affiliation with the Centrecare Pregnancy Help service launched three years ago and is the first new service to be established since then. Both Bishop Healy and Father Barry Hickey, director of Centrecare, told the gathering on Sunday that they hoped more regions outside metro area would set up similar services.

Fewer live births in Aust: reproduction rate falls to 0.937
Australia's live births registered in 1978 were 2,110 fewer than the 226,291 in 1977 and the nett reproduction rate which fell below replacement level in 1976 is down to 0.937 for 1978. The figures are revealed in "Births 1978" just released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The crude birth rate has continued to decline from 16.1 per thousand population in 1977 to 15.7 per 1000 in 1978. W A has the highest crude rate (16.9) out of NSW, Vic, Qld, SA and Tasmania.

50,000 join pope in prayer VATICAN CITY (NC) —Nearly 50,000 Romans joined Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square to pray for life as the Italian church observed the second annual Day of Life. "When a person's right to life is violated, a blow is struck at the very heart of the moral and legal order, which has as its aim the protection of the inviolable good of man." the pope said in his noon Angelus talk from his apartment window above the square. "The church defends the right to life not only out of respect for the majesty of God, first giver of every life, but also out of respect for the essential good of man," he added. The pope said that people had a responsibility to "welcome life, to defend it, to promote it...offering your own generous collaboration to each intiative which favours its elevation towards more worthy goals."

median ages in 1978 being 29.3 and 26.6 years for fathers and mothers respectively. This median age has continued to rise every year since 1966 when it was 23 years. The number of births outside marriage is continuing to rise and the 24,744 ex-nuptial births in 1978 (11 per cent of all live births) is the highest in this century and up 1,430 from the 1977 figure which was 10 per cent of total births.
W.A. and Tasmania have higher than the national average of exnuptial births. The delay in married people having their first child is also increasing. In 1978 it was 2.4 years after marriage; it has risen every year since 1963 when it was 1.2 years. The month of births shows a steady pattern. Births average out at around seven or eight per cent per month; March was the slightly highest point for the years 1976, 1977 and 1978.

Hazards in the pill: Call to women
Hundreds of thousands of Western A ustralian women may be taking their lives in their hands daily —every time they take the pill.
A call has gone out the State's women to come forward and speak openly about a subject long clouded in taboo. The goal is to track down the potentially fatal side effects of taking oral contraceptives.
An international action group is requesting women in WA to contact it if they have the slightest fear that taking any of the brands of the pill on the market has been detrimental to their health. It is feared that a significant proportion of the State's women may be suffering health problems without knowing how they are being caused.
"serious complications" for some women who take the pill.
Reprinted from THE SUNDAY TIMES
ordinator Rosemary Drake welcomed the opportunity through The Sunday Times to make the first public appeal to women in Western Australia to come forward.
"For the moment women in WA can contact us on our hotline in Sydney, (02) 419 4948. "From there we will pro-. vide them with all the literature they need and a questionaire which we hope they will fill out to help us piece together a fuller picture,- Mrs Drake said.
The group that coordinated the US campaign is the Pill Victims Action Group. Recently the group set up operation in Australia and in NSW ten court cases are now pending. A nd ip Queensland women are already coming forward claiming that the pill has caused serious blood clots that have dramatically damaged their health.

Pregnancy Help ---- and Perth Tests
Perth Pregnancy Help is now offereing a complete client service with pregnancy tests available at the Centrecare V ictoria Square premises.
Twenty clients have made use of the service since January and this was an encouraging sign of public confidence, Pregnancy Help workers said this week. They said that it was unfortunate that the Pregnancy Help testing service opened at the same time as home testing kits were being exclusively promoted on television and radio. Pregnancy Help uses a testing kit recommended by professional medical authorities and advice on the test is available from professionally qualified people if necessary.
but there was a greater possibility of the client being steered into abortion situation, she said. "A Pregnancy Help test takes about 20 minutes but with follow up counselling it could take up to an hour. "We will never know how successful we are in diverting people from an abortion", Mrs. Chamberlain said.
PARENTS
'The woman will always have to make her own decision but at least we can say that an alternative was offered and that other points of view on the matter were talked out. "The almost. standard r eaction of a young woman finding out she is pregnant is to say: 'My parents will kill me'. "We have never had a client killed yet. "This doesn't mean a parent is going to say 'congratulations' either, but it is part of growingup for a young person to accept that they too, must take responsibility for t heir decisions and actions.
"When I do something that has an effect on others, then that is my responsibility. 'The truth is that the average young woman finds that her parents are very sympathetic and caring; parents will be inclined to take some sort of blame on themselves. "Pregnancy Help offers all the material help that may be needed in an unexpected situation.
DONATIONS

service had been able to attract little support from local doctors. Only one doctor in Medina and one doctor in Mandurah had expressed full support for the service and offered their assistance. Bishop Healy s4icl that it was a service that could not be done without money nor without personnel and that it would be a source of grace and happiness for those who took part. He quoted the recent advice of Pope John Paul II to midwives that it was their task to bear witness of their esteem for the sacredness of human life. There are various ways of showing this esteem for sacredness the bishop said. It could be done on a soapbox decrying killing, abortion and violation of the fifth commandment. There were more practical ways such as personally passing on our beliefs about the sanctity of life. "But when it comes to saving the lives of the unborn there is no better way of doing it than "this service", he said. Referring to the parable of the Good Samaratian he said there was a need to define who was helpless and in need of love.
Although Archbishop Goody pledged that the resources of the diocese would back any woman distressed by pregnancy and faced with abortion Pregnancy Help raises its own funds by donations from the public. Donations are always needed as well as cash to purchase these articles if required. The biggest need is for funds for advertising. "If they don't see the message they are never going to call us", Mrs. Chamberlain said. Donations for the follow in g current programmes are urgently sought.
[
He said it was essentially a lay vocation, by women in particular but not exclusively, to give support to women who are suffering and guide them to find an alternative to abortion. "Let us have no illusions. On a broad scale we are not reducing the number of abortions but in individual cases we do help and people are very glad that there are people in the community who do care about them," he added. He said that the individual effort could have impact, in conversations at work or with neighbours. People got the impression nowadays that abortion was universally accepted as a solution to difficulties. People should be ready to receive flak for putting Continued P. 12

First meeting of DPC, vocations programme At the first meeting for 1980 of the Diocesan Pastoral Council, held at the Redemptorist Retreat House last Saturday, members were addressed by Dean Foley on Daybreak 1980. He pointed out that s ome parishes had already commenced their programme of meetings to encourage vocations to the priesthood and religious life. T he programme is planned to culminate in a ten day period of prayer and other function finishing on Sunday, April 20. Dean Foley said that to be really successful, Daybreak 80 had to become an ongoing commitment to vocation promotion on the part of each parish. In another segment, three members of the D.P.C. who had attended the national summer school for justice and peace in Sydney, reported on the different aspects of the weekend whose study theme was Justice in the Church. A total of sixteen representatives from WA attended the summer school, several of them youth representatives. The DPC meeting also heard reports on self education and other activities undertaken by the ad hoc
committees formed last year: Social Justice, Lay Ministry, Building Christian Community, Ecumen si m, Youth and Education. Peter GRAVESTOCK.
$1.5m for r efugees SYDNEY — Australian Catholics have contributed more than $1.5 million to agencies working on behalf of Cambodian refugees. Aid from all Australians to the refugees totals $9 million. The contributions of Catholics are channelled t hrough Australian Catholic Relief Services. ACRS officials, who recently returned from a visit to refugee camps, reported that international aid had helped to reduce starvation in the country temporarily. But they predicted that a new period of difficulty is approaching because the country's rice crop has been decimated by drought.
CBC Fremantle marks the opening of scholastic year with Mass More than 700 people filled St. Patrick's church, Fremantle for Mass concelbrated by Archbishop Goody last week to open the scholastic year of CBC Fremantle.

Sexism a "volatile issue" in church
(NEW YORK (NC) — "The issue of sexism is a volatile one. When we bring it into the realm ofreligion and into our conversations about the church itis explosive," Mercy Sister Theresa Kane told the National Assembly of Women Religious S ister Theresa who attracted worldwide publicity following her address to Pope John Paul II in Washington last October spoke about her experiences since then.
However, in challenging the institution sister Kane warned that the many c hanges which had occurred within the church in the past 20 years "have resulted in a fear so deep that it has brought about a paralysis in some people.
In the weeks following the pope's visit to the United States, Sister Kane drew both praise and condemnation for speaking out on the issue of w omen's ordination. Some called her brave, others said she was rude. "I have learned that our God is a God of surprises," she said of her experience, which she

said she sensed had been a significant event not only for her but for all women in the church.
'SERIOUS'
"The thousands of lettersI have seen since substantiate the point that the question of women in the church is a very serious one and will continue to be so until the church confronts this issue directly," she told the nuns. From her experience Sister Kane said she learned that there is "a tremendous amount of fear, anxiety and insecurity among our members," and she also "came to the sad realization that countless women have already withdrawn from the institutional church."
SUFFERING
Sister Kane said she has become aware "of the intense suffering which w omen have already experienced because of exclusivity based on sex" and she called on people to be in solidarity with those women who are suffering and to "challenge our institutional church viewed by so many as a maledominated organi-
'BASTION'
"For many of our members the churchis the last and only bastion of security," she said. "They are in desperate need of security and they c annot consider the thought of any more changes." People must recognize that hostility, uncharitableness and even violence are severe expressions of that fear, Sister Kane said, and she urged that people be helped to accept change.
"THE SIN"
"We know there will be other changes in our church. The challenge is to assist people not only to respond to change appropriately but to see and desire change as good," she said. "I hope that we as a church will not ignore the seriousness of sexism and eliminate the causes. "I hope that we as a church will not ignore the seriousness of sexism as a social sin and the harm that is being done both to men and to women because of the sexism that is present in our church,"
"school" to suggest qualities that should characterise style of thought and activity undertaken. The pattern for the life and activity of a Catholic school was the person and teaching of Our Lord mediated through the Church, he said. Without this characteristic Christian "style" a Catholic school was meaningless, he said. The respect, co-operation and unity that a Catholic school sought to develop must draw its distinctive character from Jesus. The Mass and function which followed were the suggestion of the P and F Association under the presidency of Mr. Bill Lawrie. During the Mass, prayers were said for Mrs. Gladys Solomon - executive member for 6 years — who died suddenly in late January. Music was provided by staff and students under the direction of Mr. A. Stevens, and parents, staff and students were involved as servers, acolyte and readers. C.B.C. starts with a rollcall of 400, three-quarters of them being secondary. Since school terminated in December, the teachers have spent five days in staff meetings — including a three-day live-in seminar at Jarrandale. Three adult classes initiated in 1979 in trade subjects for mothers, fathers and teachers proved so popular that they will be continued and expanded this year.

Self-knowledge and Christian living
In San Francisco, the Australian Jesuit, Os Summerton, who is a missionary in India, lectured to us on Transactional Analysis.
Pictured at the marriage preparation course at East Fremantle last month were: Tim WALL, of Sorrento, and Sonja Van WEE RT, of Joondanna, who will be married at North Beach on March 29. Marianne DELLA-PONA, of Mandurah and Tim FOSTER, of Bateman The March programme at Leederville will be a new experimental course over two extended Sunday mornings to allow more time for questions and discussion. A similar programme will be given at East Fremantle in June.
The goal of T.A., we were told, is self knowledge and change of attitude. The inventor of T.A. is Berne, who, after working with physcho analysts, postulated his own analysis of personality and of human communication. If one becomes aware of ones own 'transactions' or games or conversational pieces or communication with hidden meanings and emotional result, one grows in selfawareness, in self-knowledge. There are four basic life positions: "I'm O.K. You're not O.K. I'm not O.K., you're not O.K. I'm not O.K., you're O.K. I'm O.K., you're O.K." There are three states or tapes.. the parent ego state, the child state, the adult state.
YEARS
One sister made the comment that in her first year, self knowledge was expressed in terms of the Sufi eneagram, in her second year in terms of the Briggs test, for example, introvert, extrovert,

FROM JAPAN
Father William Johnston, S.J, came from Japan to give us his insights into Zen Buddhism and its relationship to Christianity. The Zen Buddhist. who 'sits' and 'breathes deeply' and is in touch with his deepest self, his deepest desires, his deepest feelings, was presented alongside John Of the Cross and his way to enlightenment. Self knowledge was again being stressed. Longeragan's insights into the subjectivity of knowledge were praised highly. But it was rather the presenting of Christinat-
_ A good psychologist I knows something of the psyche and a good theologian knows something of grace, of God's self communication with the human soul. Father Michael Buckley, lecturing on John of the Cross, at Berkeley, was able to use some of Freud's concepts and terms anci'to relate them to John's counsels. He was integrating what is true and good in modern psychology into the Christian message, into the principles of Christianity. For right reason and revelation are in harmony. The findings of right reason don't contradict the Christian teaching to 'love God and neighbour, as you love yourself. Augustine said 'Love and do what you will'.
Father James DY— NON SJ, of St. Thomas More College, has been overseas recently. He reflects here on e xperiences in the United States. ity as direct experience of God than any mere theory of personality that really interested Father Johnston. Perhaps it might be said that it is to Father John Powell, who so clearly presents the good features of the modern American psychologists and is able touse all that is good and true in what they say, to whom we should turn to see a balanced American exposition by a fine psychologist and theologian.
MEANING?
We have to ask, when there seems ambiguity, what does he mean. I think there are many times when we must ask what do Rogers, May, Fromm, and Maslow mean? Vitz and Menninger would really challenge them. Others would say that their techniques and some of their insights are helpful, provided they are integrated into a tested philosophy or into a sound theology.
Tighter abortion law LONDON (NC) -- The British Parliament has voted to tighten the country's liberal abortion law, cutting the time limit for abortions from the 28th t o the 24th week of pregnancy. The favorable 275-172 vote was the result of a compromise as opponents of the law originally sought a time limit of the 20th week of pregnancy. Other amendments to restrict the reasons for legal abortion are not expected to be voted on during the current session of Parliament Among the strongest critics of the current abortion law have been the Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland.

Little Sisters' fete at Glendalough, March 16 Residents and Little Sister of the Poor at Glendalough are looking forward to their annual ete f on Sunday March 16 commencing at 12.30 pm The new nursing home for which fete funds were s ought last year is approved and ready to go but still needs further funds to bring the project to completion. The annual fete is one way of helping this cause. Old photographs can show how accommodation was once in a dormitory with little or no individual privacy. Al! this has changed now. The new emphasis is on a family atmosphere with privacy where possible.
UNITS
T here are 12 selfcontained units for marrieds couples and hostel accommodation of 40single rooms for ladies; the balance of accommodation is taken up by the men who in some cases are still sharing a fourbed ward, but even here the numbers sharing these apartments have been reduced. When the new nursing home is built this will allow more single accommodation to be provided. In total there are 130 residents: 45 of these are nursing home patients. Sixteen Little Sisters run the Home together with a large professionallaystaff including qualified nurses, nursing aides, therapists etc.
ILLNESS
The Home is open t o any person over the age of 60 years. Physiotheraphy and chiropody areNprovided a number of times throughout the week and several outpatients of the area receive attention. One of the major features of the Home is that presidents who become ill are not required to be moved elsewhere (except when their state of health may require surgery etc.) They are usually accommodated in the nursing home where they are Placed under specialized 11111111111212111111112111=11111111111121111 M.G. & D.E.

Colleagues urge banned theologian to attempt revocation move TUBINGEN, Germany: Father Hans Kung, suspended from his university post, has been urged by fellow Tubingen theologians to work towards the revocation of the ban imposed on him. Speaking in a radio interview on behalf of the seven Tubingen theologlans who declared in an independent statement that a professor without t he missio canoncia (official mandate) should not belong indefinitely to a theological faculty, Professor Walter Kasper e xplained that the stateme nt was by no means directed against Professor Hans Kung. It aimed rather to persuade him to do all in his power to enable the Roman Congregation to revoke its ban on him.
CRITIC A t the same time Professor Kasper criticised the manner of Rome's procedure against Kung, a s corresponding "neither to present-day conceptions of justice nor to the spirit of the Gospel" M eanwhile, in an interview, Fr Karl Rahner said that in his view in a theological controversy the Roman magisterium, ie the Pope and the bishops, had the right to decide what is and what is not Catholic doctrine. Commenting on Kung's theological position, he said that whereas Kung had denied the dogma of

APPEAL And in an open letter "in the name of countless Christians." 76 Roman Catholic professors belonging to all academic disciplines, have appealed to all the Catholic theological faculties in the Federal Republic for their help in countering "their increasing difficulties in making the
Christian faith, as proclaimed by the official Church, the basis of their lives."
STRICT
From Baden-Wurtemburg it has been reported that the Christian Democratic Union favours a strict application of the clauses of the Concordat, even if that meant Kung's removal from the theological faculty. However, there is no agreement yet on the exact legal situation.
Father Kung quits job TUBINGEN, West German) (NC) — Father Hans Kung announced earlier this month that he was cancelling his lectures at the University of Tubingen for the rest of the current school term. Until then he had continued teaching in defiance of a Vatican decree in mid-December declaring that he could "no longer be considered a Catholic theologian" or teach as one. Father Ku ng said that he quit teaching because of "deep disappointment" with a six-page public statement by his fellow theology professors in which they withdrew their support for him. Their statement said that Father Kung had caused "a crisis in the German church" and the controversy had "hurt the theological faculty" at Tubingen. Initially, Father Kung

Cathedral Folk Grou celebrates five years of service Members of the CathedralFolk Group celebrated five years' of service recently with abarbecue at the home of John Peacock inDaglish.
At the recent anniversary celebrations, left to right, are Carol YOUNG, Fr Donald SPROXTON, Michelle WYNNE, Mark GOERKE, (the newest member) and Genena WYNNE.
Caroline Young, who is the leader of the group, invited all past members to the celebration. She recalled that the group started through a happy coincidence. Fr. John Jegorow, who h ad recently been appointed to the Cathedral, knocked on her flat
door soon after her arrival in the area. "He had come looking for the previous occupant who had a drugproblem," she said. "To his surprise, he found me with no furniture in the flat but a guitar standing prominently in the corner".
Although the Dianella Sodality of Mary Youth group has existed for some time, we recently reviewed our position at a general meeting. The group discussed the type of activities to be held during the regular Sunday evening "coffee nights". Some said that it was not just the discussion or games that attracted them but the chance of meeting new people and making
new friends. This review of our group came as a result of a Key Leaders' camp which, I attended and personally found a very motivating experience. I was inspired by the commitment I saw in other young people andI feel that it is important to share this fact that "young people do care about Christ and each other". CHRISS CALLUS Dianella

The group has attracted many people of different age groups and has consistently led the singing at the 5 o'clock Mass each Sunday over the past five years. Carol, together with Gennina and Michele Wynne are the longeststanding members in the group. Fr. Don Sproxton said "It was pleasing to see an increase in the number of young male voices in the group. "The group has provided an, invaluable service to the Cathedral congregation and must be congratulated for its continued hard work."

EXAMPLE The things that they found helpful about a priest were the times he had listened to them and been friendly to them.

Fr. Sproxton said "Young people can be very high in their expectation of priests but are sometimes slow in showing their support." Fr. Jegorow said "Young people would do well to search out the retired priests of our diocese and simply visit them and perhaps take them out for the day." These discussions about priesthood and religious life, he added, are a wonderful opportuntiy for us to re-awaken an understanding and real value of priesthood and religious life. This week the group

Almsgiving symbol of Lent; challenge When a student strikes a difficulty during religious homework and is lucky enough to have a bishop as a parish priest, why not ring the Nedlands Presbytery for a quick and easy answer? Unfortunately Bishop Quinn was not in when I answered the phone from a young enquirer last week. The question troubling the young student was: "What are the symbols associated with Lent"? The first thing that came to my mind was the colour "purple" and then I was stumped, too. Iproceeded to point out to the young person that a modern-day symbol of L ent was our Project Compassion appeal, but since I was not speaking with the authority of a bishop my second suggestion was not taken too seriously.
GIVING I do think that in today's society the Project Compassion appeal has become a symbol of Lent. If a beggar in genuine need were to come to our door most of us would respond appropriately. Our society to-day is far more complex and beggars do not wander from house to house, so we need an organised means of giving alms. Young people to-day have a lot of money at their disposal; while at school students are rather free at spending their parents' money on them-
from Project Compassion funds was allocated to specific youth projects (see the Project Compassion news paper) Money was spent on local youth training centres and international YCW leadership programmes. So, by contributing to Project Compassion, young Australian students and workers will be helping their peers in other parts of the world.
LESSON selves at the tuck shop. Y oung workers who quickly understand the value of the dollar may be slower to part with their hard earned money on trivia but they still spend money. At this stage expenditure on cars and clothing comes first.
LUXURIES Alms giving is not just the domain of the oldies: youth are challenged also to look at the money they spend on themselves especially the luxurious extras. Lent challenges us to share money with the poor. I note with interest that t wenty percent of the monies sent to Papua New Guinea last year
More important is the goal that young people come to an understanding of the purpose and value of almsgiving. At every funeral and during every Lent we are reminded that we can't take the world with us. The goods we have in this life are on loan to us from God. Our attitude should be that of the Good Samaritan - "What is mine is yours and I will share it." This is a hard lesson to learn and practice; for many persist in living as if they can take with them beyond the grave, all their money and all that it stands for. "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul". Fr. JOHN JEGOROW
God's justice: Message from Summer School God's justice is a dynamic quality that we have the privilege to share with the oppressed of the world. This was the overriding message of the talks and w orkshops at the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace Summer School held in Randwick, Sydney earlier this year. Of the 100 participants at the Summer School from throughout Australia 16 came from W.A. Bishop Labayen of the Phillipines started his talk
by saying that "Justice is a relationship with God on His own terms". In practical terms this means that God guides and supports us in our life _long journey to achieve HIS true purpose for each one of us. Our role as justice agents, is to offer the same support and guidance to the oppressed, "the poor"

of the world. The importance of critically analysing social problems was emphasized in a talk by Mary Hall, chairperson of the C.C.J.P. Any action that follows must reflect the heartfelt desires of "the poor". Action should stem from a personal experience of injustice — it is important that we know what it feels like to be ridiculed for being unemployed, or be laughed at for having a dark skin or be belittled for being a female in a male dominated society. Fr. Geoff King, in his paper, outlined basic human rights and rights b y baptism that all Catholics have — the church should acknowledge and foster these rights. Workshops on unemployment, Aborigines, alternative ministry, justice in the church were held which led to the formation of continuing working parties on specific projects and also numerous recommendations for action.

Father MacNutt Irish Church leaders lift shocks the ciliation effort econ r Charismatics by marrying
DUBLIN (NC) — Catholic and Protestant leaders are increasing their practical steps to promote ecumenism and reconciliation in strife-torn Northern Ireland. Prospects for immediate positive results, however, are dim.
Former Dominican Father Francis MacNutt, 54 author of books on physical and psychological healing through prayer and a leading figure in both Catholic charismatic renewal and interdenominational activities, was married on February 9 to Judith C. Sewell, 32 convert to Catholicism involved in the charismatic counselling ministry.
Cardinal O'Fiaich of Armagh, Northern Ireland, has appointed a priest especially to promote ecumensim and reconciliation. The Church of Ireland ( Anglican), the largest non-Catholic Christian church on the Irish isle, already has a ppointed Canon Arlow of Belfast to head such efforts. Northern Ireland does not have a fertile climate for ecumensim. Catholics and Protestants want to remain part of Great Britain.
contacts with Protestant underground military groups and the Provisional Irish Republican Army. His experiences, however, have not led him to expect immediate results. Canon Arlow hopes, however, to make steady progress in breaking down prejudices. A more optimistic view is presented by the Rev. David Bleakley, the new secretary of the Irish Council of Churches.
The optimism is based on the increased cooperation among churches, a growing committment by young people to social justice and the generosity of Irish Catholics and Protestants in funding development projects in the Third World, he said. Cardinal O'Fiaich said that the ecumenical picture in 1979 showed signs of encouragement, especially from the warmth of much of the Protestant reaction to the visit to Ire-
land last fall of Pope John Paul II. During the papal visit, Pope John Paul strongly urged the warring factions to stop the violence and pleaded for an end to religious hatred. On the debit side, Cardinal O'Fiaich regretted that the moderator of the Presbyterian Church, the R ight Rev. William Craig, has refused to take part in meetings between Catholics and Protestants.

A RMAGH, Northern Ireland (NC) — Cardinal T omas O'Fiaich of Armagh has named an ecumenical adviser "to aid in healing the wounds of the past." The adviser is Father Gerard Clifford, 39, former secretary of the archdilesan Council of Priests. His main duties will involve ecumenism, reconciliation and inter- . church understanding in an effort to lessen the religious hatred that has fed Northern Ireland's political violence over the past. 10 years. Cardinal O'Fiaich said that he created the post to give greater impetus to the ecumenical movement. Father Clifford was asked by the cardinal to. work in "fruitful collaboration" with Canon William Arlow, reconciliation officer of the Church of Ireland( Anglican), Father Clifford has coauthored two books on religious education for parents with young children.

Migrant for a morning using foreign language Small figure inwhite By Joyce WILLIAMS in "The ADVOCATE" T wenty-eight priests, a Brigidine nun and a seminarian were migrants for a morning in Melbourne recently and were required to fill In an official form in a foreign language. Each "migrant" was asked to choose a language he little or nothing about and, from that moment, new k was spoken to only in that language. Suddenly the 29 found themselves foreigners in Aus tralia — migrants struggling to communicate in the Ian guage of their adopted country. The form supplied was the standard application fora Victorian learner-driver permit. Easy enough in English — another matter for the "migrants" trying in Greek, Maltese, Italian or German.
Try Anything Behind a counter handing out the forms was a "bureaucrat" for each of the languages. The new "migrants" managed the task of getting the form quite easily — but fillingit in and getting help with associated problems proved to be another matter. Back and forth to the desk they went, struggling vainly to make themselves understood by the official. In the end both resorted to mime to try to break the language barrier. When the form was finally completed to the satisfaction of the bureaucrat there was another hurdle — each had to answer questions on the road code in their chosen language. With the examination over it was time to assess reactions which ranged from frustrating", "frightening", to "embarrassing". Some said they got "infuriated" when they were misunderstood; others felt helpless in the face of the bureaucrat; several that they became "childish and stupid" when they had to point to words and play-act to be understood. Director of the communication exercise, Dr Peter Wilkinson of the Ecumenical Migration Centre, Richmond, said that all the reactions were normal for the non-English speaking migrant trying to communicate.
"Few of you said you felt comfortable in the situation -- neither does the migrant. "He may know a few words of the language, but, in the face of officialdom those words disappear. "As he becomes more bewildered, the bureaucrat often confuses things more by raising his voice to try and make himself understood — resorting to single words and speaking slowly and deliberately." This, Dr Wilkinson said, upset the reasoning power of the migrant. He knew he had lost normal communication wit hthe official and often became mentally helpless to manage the situation. And it was that feeling of helplessness that stopped him reasoning logically, for instance looking for other help, even when help was available close at hand.
Where to go? "For each of you here today playing the part of the migrant there was help available that most of y ou didn't think to use. "How many of you thought to ask for an interpreter? "There was one here — there's even a notice on the door telling you so. "Two of you did use the interpreter after the bureaucart tried to tell you and finally guided you to him. "You could have used the telephone interpreter service, listed in the front of the directory; gone next door to the hospital and asked for their interpreter; or asked for the form in English — there were 50 on the table. Referring to the question on the form,Dr. Wilkinson said that migrants frequently guessed at what they were being asked. This was particularly true in the questions regarding health that required details. To these they answered "no". To have answered "yes" would have required giving details in a language they couldn't express themselves in. "In 'no' there is safety", he said. On the matter of interpreters, Dr Wilkinson said there should be more professionalsim. "You may get a hospital where there is someone who can speak perhaps nine languages but knows nothing about the cultural background of the people they are supposed to be helping. "Then there is the tendency to use children as interpreters. This is bad, it reverses the parent-child relationship in European cultures."

who won the trust of the refugees
Sir, Since the announcement of the Daybreak 1980 programmeIhave wanted to make my contribution, however small. An incident that involved me three years ago has remained in my mind as a vivid illustration of what a marvellous thing service to God in the religious life must be. I had followed the perilous journey of the Boat People down the Malay and Indonesian coasts to Broome and the occasion arose for me to accompany a Presentation Sister to go to the Graylands hostel and be on hand when these people arrived Sister was so excited and hopeful of being some
help and comfort. Little did she know how much. The bus bringing these weary and confused travellers turned into the gate and I shall never forget the expression that lit up their faces as glimpsed that small figure in white habit. They were filled with joy. Here was someone to whom they could relate immediately, in whom they could confide and to whom they could entrust their most precious cornmodity, their children.
And to this day they still have that trust and confidence. The religious Sister stood for God. She dared to be different and though the newcomers were of mixed faith backgrounds, they knew this truth instantly and it made all the difference. I watched and waved from the sidelines and it came to me that the religious life must surely be one of the most wonderful and fulfilling lifestyles in this world. Margaret RICHARDS Mt. Pleasant
Objection to child contest to design submarine insignia SAGINAW, Michigan (NC) — Bishop Francis F. Reh of Saginaw does not think Catholic school children should be takingpart in a contest to design an insignia for the new nuclear Trident submarine, the USS Michigan. He endorsed the directive of the Saginaw Diocese's Education Office t hat parochial-school children not participate in the contest and told parish religious education directors to discourage participation by Catholic students attending public schools. In a letter to Lt. Cmdr. R.S. Prucha of the Navy's Office of Information in Chicago, Bishop Reh declared:
MOTTO "It is more than troublesome that such a horrifying instrument of unbelievable destructive power of life should be named after a State whose people cherish the motto: 'If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look around you., "The USS Michigan, a boast of the Navy, is capable of destroying 408 cities or areas at one time — each with a blast five times more powerful than Hiroshima's in destructive power. "In the name of a merciful God, with such nuclear weapons unleashed, will there be in the world a pleasant peninsula? "Is this the atmosphere we choose for our children during the impressionable years of their growth by such a contest?" Bishop Reh cited the horrifying spectre of children being indoctrinated into a world of selfdestructive weaponry. "How can they grow to
peace unless we teach them peace? "I tremble whenever I see on our TV screen in recent months the nightmare of children handling and being taught to handle weapons in Mideastern countries."
Acknowledging problems involved in the arms race, proper preparedness and the reaction to v iolence, the bishop • stressed that children must be taught alternatives to self-destructive violence.
JESUIT CAMPUS SAN SALVADOR, El BOMBED Salvador (NC) — The residence of the Jesuit faculty at the Central American University was m achinegunned by unknown assailants. Two d ays later a bomb exploded at the campus library causing heavy damage. No-one was hurt in the incidents. Five Jesuits were asleep in the residence at the time of the machinegun attack that left 26 bullet holes in the concrete walls, in the windows and doors. A vehicle parked in front was also hit. The library bomb exploded at the same time that another bomb destroyed the power plant of t he Catholic radio station. The incidents followed a statement published by
the university council on current political violence in this Central American nation of 4.6 million. The statement said that the university was siding • "with the unequal struggle being waged by the majority of the people against the most selfish and cruel forces in our society." It also denounced killings of grassroots leaders by security forces and Rightist gangs. The statement criticized the hard-liners in the armed forces for blocking s ocial and economic reforms, particularly the land reform. Observers said that the same issue of land reform led to death threats by Rightwing groups recently against 50 Jesuits and lay leaders.

ARENA JOTTINGS With the success of Claremont and, more particularly, Subiaco, in The recent Escort championship matches and the strong firsthalf showing by West Perth against Hawthorn, there are early indications that last season's lower-placed teams will make the West Australian Football League competition a keenly contested one this season. It was notable that Subiaco's success against Perth was partly due to two of its newer players, Buckenara and Marshall, and that Claremont, in defeating East Perth, found a new fullforward in Warren Ralph who, if he retains his form, should fill a position which has worried Claremont for some time. A heartwarming sight was the appearance of the East Perth exchampion player and coach Barry Cable who is recovering from the serious accident in which he was involved several months ago. He was on hand to direct East Perth and although walking with the aid of sticks appeared his usual jaunty self.

The trouble — affected tour of New Zealand by the West Indies is a an unfortunate and sad episode in the career of the team which at present is arguably the best in the world, when playing in its present form (it has been below that form in New Zealand). The West Indies team has not performed at anywhere near the form the showed in Australia and, in fact, in some games they have been decidely inferior to New Zealand. There were complaints about umpiring, some short-tempered "displays" by players and the controversial incidents in which Colin Croft, the p ace bowler, was involved. Croft was reported to have exchanged words with an umpire, kicked the stumps and then shouldered an umpire as he ran up to bowl. The West Indies were urged by the New Zealand Press to return home and their manager replied that they could not wait to leave. Late last week some semblance of decorum was restored when the West Indies offered two apologies after a discussion between the West Indies and New Zealand, although the West Indies included the controversial bowler in the 12man third Test squad.

f orward their ideas against abortion. Father Hickey said the first task was to state clearly that the Church considered abortion to be the unjust taking of life. But a clear distinction had to be made. There was a place for the soapbox, the lobby, for laws to protect life, for the medical profession to have their beliefs respected, for education to put forward the facts.

T he other line of approach was Pregnancy Help where it was important to understand the anguish and suffering of many women, anguish that was real. If the Church is compassionate it is shown by the defence of unborn life, he said Pregnancy Help was not condemnatory but showed a real understanding of
women, by giving them a look at alternatives. Father Hickey said that he did not consider Pregnancy Help the only or final answer.
ADVICE He would like to see a voice in the media such as on radio, giving advice on pregnancy as was being done successfully in other areas. Centrecare made a donation of $200 to the new service and Father Hickey handed over another anonymous donation of $200.

It might be said that the West Indies players are jaded after an unusually arduous tour of Australia) by any standardit was a tough tour) but they are professionals and once the New Zealand commitment was entered into, with the accompanying payments, they were in duty bound to give of their best. Where the root cause of the trouble lay it is impossible to say and it would be improper to speculate on it pending the outcome of any inquiry made by the New Zealand authorities. The point is that every effort must be made in the future by captains, players and administrative authorities and anybody else associated officially with such tours to avoid similar unpleasantness. No sport, particularly one like cricket can afford too many similar incidents and still retain the loyalty and interest of players and the public.

COMMON PATTERN put the writing on the wall for an early win when a good third to Georgie Court in the Dale Handicap over 1,200 metres on Saturday. Trainer Albert Jordan has this horse looking a treat and when ridden with a little more patience, should break her maiden status. F AMILY EFFORT appears a certainty when entered for a suitable event on the provincial circuit, judged by his s trong performance behind Double Guard on Saturday. This Just Great threeyear-old ran on fast from well back on the turn for jockey Bernie Ryan and would be suited in a,1,600 metre maiden. TODVEGA returned to racing after a short break to easily account for the opposition in the Debonair Graduation over 1,500 metres. TODVEGA has shown in his limited start career that he possesses a touch of class and should quickly win his way through to open company for trainer Reg Treffone. SON O'BISCAY is reportedly back to his brilliant best and I believe is the one to beat in the Bunbury Stakes over 1,400 metres next Tuesday. The field for this race is not over strong and SON O'BISCAY will be ideally suited with his light wright of 49kg.
