W ASHINGTON (NC) — The Supreme Court's February 19 decision ordering the federal government to pay for all medically necessary abortions until the court determines the constitutionality funding restrictions has been called "objectionable in itself and disturbing in its implications for the future" by the general secretary of the U.S. Catholic Conference.

"Although it does not settle the outcome of this litigation," said Bishop Thomas Kelly, "it can hardly be taken as an indicator of total openmindedness on the part of the court — which, after all, is the same body which legalized abortion on demand in the first place." Bishop Kelly said that what was at stake in the court's consideration of the Dooling decision was "whether citizens who object to abortion in conscience shall or shall not be forced to subsidize
taxes." In New York, Cardinal Terence Cooke called the decision "yet another step in the tragedy" begun with the 1973 Supreme Court abortion decision. "Now not only does the court remove the protection of law from the unborn, it in effect r equires millions of American citizens to violate their consciences by contributing their hardearned money in taxes for the destruction of human life.

How Martyr's abortion Generally favourable reaction to Dutch amendment synod conclusions failed
CANBERRA: In a debate that raised issues over the beginnings of life, Mr. John Martyr, Liberal member for Swan, saw his amendment 57 defeated 57-47 while opponent Mr. Barry S imon, Liberal member for Macmillan finished up voting against his own motive.
Mr Martyr's amendments to the Human Rights Commission Bill sought to define human rights as existing from conception and to ensure the protection of the unborn from that moment. The House rejected the Martyr amendments in favour of a more vaguelyworded Simon amendment which sought merely to protect human life and its rights "before as well as after birth." W hile Mr Martyr insisted upon the superiority of his amendments, he commented that the Sim pn alternative was -per haps a useful fallback position for those who do not want to climb the mountain."
"CENTRAL" Mr Simon. however, refu-ed to support, even this "fall-back" position, voti - g, in the end, against his .,,vn motion. In 'Is speech Mr Martyr said "The right to life of every innocent person is the central base on which is built the whole of our western civilisation. "If any innocent person, hov 'sver insignificant that person may be, is don to death, his death den .s the absolute value of e-.try human life. "If we reduce the life of every person to merely relative importance, and if we force lives to compete for position on someone's personal scale of valt,es, we deny all the rig. s that any of us exp :t to have."
been violated could only be made "after the abortion had taken place." In any case, he argued, the amendments would have no material effect on the resort to abortion.
THE VOTE
members of Right to Life were "totalitarian bullies."
Mr Martyr suggested that abortion was just part of a legacy Australia has inherited from Hitler. He told the House: "If members think that the master race theory died with Hitler, they should read the weekend newspapers." "There was in one newspaper an article concerning sterilisation of the unfit, and in another an article on the breeding of master intellects." "What place is there in this type of thinking for anyone who is handicapped or for the unborn?" "Even in the Women's Weekly of February 27 a Dr Wright drew attention not only to theeasy way of killing the unborn but also of killing the handicapped."
'NO EFFECT' The Deputy Leader of t he Opposition, Mr Bowen, also criticised the Martyr amendments because they could have no effect in the States where most Australians live. Mr Bowen agreed "from the point of view of my own religious convictions that life begins at conception." The Opposition spokesman on minerals and energy, Mr Keating, declared his opposition to abortion, but refused to support the Martyr a mendments on the ground that complaints to the Human Rights Commission that a foetus's right to life had
STATES? Former Prime Minister Sir William McMahon argued that because the terms of the Bill applied only to Commonwealth Territories, they could have no effect on the States. People, he said, would simply go interstate to have their abortions. Mr. Clyde Cameron (Lab SA) claimed that a Parliament of men had no right to tell women "they have got to be incubators." H e added that if members of Parliament thought there were votes to be had in takinga stand against abortion they had "another think coming." The Immigration and Ethnic Affairs Minister, M r McPhee, urged members not to bow to what he described as methods of "scurrilous intimidation" employed by the Right to Life Association. He said that

Although the Martyr amendments were defeated, the Simon counter-amendment was passed 56-49, some opponents of the Martyr proposals — Messrs Keating and Hurford, for example — voting to support protection of the unborn "before as well as after birth." The Deputy Leader of Opposition, Mr Brown voted `No' to both proposals. While members of the House of Representatives were struggling over the right to life of the unborn, Senator Christopher Puplick (Lib, NSW) asked the Government to inform Japan of the sense of outrage many Australians felt over the recent slaughter of dolphins in that country.
VATICAN CITY (NC) — The Dutch bishops said that Catholica in the Netherlands have reacted favourably for the most part to the conclusions of the recent special Dutch synod at the Vatican, Vaticao Radio reported recently.
They said there were attitudes of rejection or reserve about the conclusions "here and there." Vatican Radio cited a Press communique from the Dutch Bishops' Conference following a meeting of the country's seven bishops. The meeting was the first since the bishops met at the Vatican to try to reunite the badly divided Dutch church and restore church discipline in conformity with general church norms and practices. The communique said that the bishops found it very helpful to meet with small groups personally to explain and discuss the synod conclusions, and

they planned to continue doing so in their dioceses.
FUNDS They also discussed at length the reuniting of the Roermond Diocese with the other six dioceses in three annual fund-raising campaigns. Bishop Gijsen of Roermond had withdrawn from the campaigns out of disagreement with the way they were run, but the synod ordered him to rejoin. To help resolve the situation, the bishops established a special committee. It is headed by Bishop Bhuyssen 's-Hertogenbosch, and Bishops Moller of Groningen and Simonis of Rotterdam are members. The bishops also studied a declaration of intentions concerning care-
chetics, al project already under way before the synod, and agreed to meet with the National Catechetical Council in May to discuss a fuller text. This declaration of intentions, Vatican Radio said, had the value of a catechetical directory, which was one of the objects of the synod's conclusions. The bishops said that nominations for two spacial committees, one on priestly formation and the other on lay pastoral co-workers, would soon be forwarded to Pope John Paul II. The synod mandated the formation of the two committees.

Criticism of procedures OTTAWA (NC) — Archbishop MacNeil of Edmonton, Alberta, president of the Can adian Conference of Catholic Bishops, said "there is scope for improvements" in the procedures used in disputes between the Vatican and theologians. A rchbishop MacNeil said that the Canadian bishops basically supported the procedures published in 1971 by the V atican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. But he added that there were weaknesses regarding juridical and arbitrational procedures. "We will be seeking to further ascertain that these procedures reflect the basic concerns of due p rocess and posibly involve theologians drawn from the international communtiy," A rchbishop MacNeil said. The archbishop was replying to a public statement signed by eight prominent lay Catholics. The signers said the investigations and methods followed by the Vatican in dealing with two theologians, Father Hans Kung and Father Edward Schillebeeckx, "were neither above board nor evenhanded."
The group said that "neither scholar appears to have been accorded his full rights, consistent with human dignity, fair play and the juridical tradition of due process." In a letter to the signers. A rchbishop MacNeil said he agreed with the overall conclusions of the Vatican in the Father Kung case, despite weaknesses in the procedures. The evidense indicated "his teachings concerning certain topics — particularly infallibility and the divinity of Christ — art irreconcilable with the teachings of the magisterium (teaching authority) of the church," said the archbishop. There was "an increasing need for the magisterium of the church to exercise its ministry of clearly distinguishing between the authoritative teaching of the church and theological speculation," she said.

Project Compassion; Aims and education
This year marks the 16th national Project Compassion campaign conducted by. Australian Catholic Relief that was established by the Bishops of Australia in the preceding year 1964. Earlier campaigns by the same name had been conducted in Sydney and Adelaide. In 1977 the Australian Bishops gave Australian Catholic Relief a broad mandate with three objectives: • To promote among Catholics and people generally a greater awareness of world poverty, hunger, oppression and injustice and of the responsibility to assist people in overcoming these conditions. • To raise funds for relief aid, development cooperation and development education. • To provide financial and other forms of support for development and relief. To achieve these objectives there has been a gradual change in emphasis in the work being done by ACR.
the Kampuchean Relief A ppeal, and general donations are also a significant part. ACR also receives funds from Force Ten, the Australian Government, Austcare and Freedom From Hunger Campaign. The total income received by ACR in 1979 was $3,232,850.
Relationships have been built with other countries to ensure that funds given to ACR are used in the most effective way for full human development and for the needs of people who are poor. Partnerships have been developed with Catholic bodies throughout the world so that decisions on the types of projects to be funded are made in the c ountry concerned, rather than in Australia.
INJUSTICE Support must also be given to overcome instances of injustice in Australia itself. Programs of Aboriginal groups and refugee resettlement have received c onsiderable support over the past few years. Church leaders and visitors from Asia have continually stressed their opinion that supplying aid for their programs was not a sufficiently broad response from
Australians to those suffering poverty and injustice. They have continually insisted that some of the funds received for overseas aid be spent within Australia -to raise the awareness of people here to the real situation in the world and to the causes of
poverty. ACR does this through its own programs, the Catholic Missions Offices. The major source of income for the work of ACR is Project Compassion. In 1979, just over $1.3 million was received. Special appeals, such as

A ccording to the National Director of ACR, Michael Whiteley, in the last five years there has been more emphasis on making Project Compassion a year round focus for the Church in Australia to look at its pastoral responsibilities in the areas of justice and development. "Project Compassion has to be seen as much more than a Lenten collection", Mr. Whiteley said, "if the Australian Church is to take notice of the many Vatican and Synod documents on the Church's responsibility in this area".
HOPES Mr. Whiteley said that he hoped more Catholics would become involved in the activities of ACR and see it as their own agency. "Only when Catholics see this, will ACR become an effective voice for the poor in the world", he said. ACR is administered by the equivalent of 51 2 / people and in 1979 spent about 3.5 percent of its income on administration. This low percentage is achieved only because of the voluntary efforts of m embers of ACR's National Committee, its diocesan directors and many Catholics throughs tn•rx•
The Marriage Encounter Resource community has a unique contribution to make in strengthening family unity through one of its programmes. The Family Weekend e xperience is a programme in which all the members of a family work t ogether to strengthen their relationship. Jeff and Jo Rostant who are promoting the programme in Perth said: "On account of the rapid pace of to-day's life, individuals take the family for granted and become involved in their own particular activity. "The weekend experience helps to focas back on the family. The programme is fast moving and fun." Since its first presentation in 1978 the Family Weekend experience has been attended by 77 fami-.
lies numbering about 400 individuals. Ten weekends took place in the city and twoin the country areas. The ideal way to present the weekend is at a parish level. In the coming months of March and April weekends are planned for the Queens Park. East Fremantle, and Spearwood parishes. "Because it is important to have the whole family present, attendance for the weekends is a particular difficulty but the rewards make it worthwhile." said Sally and Bruce Robinson, who also promote the weekends.

Development and human situation; Pope's advice V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Human development issues are "fundamental demands' involving "the good of persons and of society," Pope John Paul II told members of the Vatican's Pontifical Justice and Peace Commission. The pope addressed the commission on February 9 after it concluded a plenary meeting (February 5-9) on the theme of "The Church and the Developmentof Peoples." The working sessions were in Nemi, Italy, near Rome. The pope called development "one of the reasons for being of your commission." He said that "collective, organic and continuous development is the indispensable presupposition for assuring the concrete exercise of human rights, both those with an economic content and those that directly concern spiritual values. "The measure of all real development is the integrity and respect of the h uman person," he added. The pope recalled that on his visit to the United Nations last October he
noted the "strict relationship that exists between human rights, development and peace" and s tressed the "preeminence of the values of the spirit" as the basis of a just peace. He said that a climate uncertainty and threats of w ar hurt efforts tc achieve full development. He urged governments to "review their position c onstantly, so as tc engage in a movemen that will go 'from a less: human situation to a more human situation in both national and international life.—

Catholics back archbishop ROME (NC) — Catholics throughout Italy sent messages of solidarity to A rchbishop Giovanni Canestri of Rome, after a judge denounced the churchman for his comments on abortion. A judge on Italy's Supreme Court said in a published letter that Archbishop Canestri had no right to say thw abortion constituted murder. The archbishop said during a Mass forthe Italian Day of Life (February 3) that "the 11,000 legal abortions in Rome each y ear are and remain 1 1,000 murders." Judge Sabalich said that Archbishop Canestri was forbidden to make the r emark because the Church-State Concordat says that the clergy cannot "interfere in the political-judicial system of the State.

Full-time chaplain at Royal Perth Hospital
Comic book approach
In a new move, a full-time Catholic chaplain has been appointed to Royal Perth Hospital to replace the service formerly offered by the staff of St. Mary's Cathedral. Father John Ryan, who resides at the Cathedral presbytery, will be assisted by a team and will have a back-up from the other cathedral clergy. The new move is a variation on the service that has been provided to the R oyal Perth Hospital since its foundation, as Catholic clergy lived continuously at Victoria Square after the arrival of Father John Brady in 1843.
ON CALL A s the hospital has gown the work ofvisiting the hospital and attending to the large number of emergency and casualty calls has been provided by the three assistant priests on full 24-hour call seven days a week. Other city hospitals that are served by the cathedral clergy include Mount Hospital, Home of Peace, Ashton, Killara. Dean Foley, parish priest of the cathedral, said that the administrative change in Catholic service was the decision of the Catholic authority but with suggestions on the part of Royal Perth Hospital that they would welcome such a step.
ONE MAN "It will consolidate the work we have already been doing and provide a more definite presence for the staff to refer to". Dean Foley explained. - "As individual priests we have become known to personnel in a particular w ard. "Now the hospital will have one person to whom t hey can refer any matters." Father John Ryan the new full time Catholic chaplain joins a RPH chaplaincy division that aleady has four full-time clergy of other denomina-
tions with a number of part time assistants. F ather Ryan was ordained in 1978 after first training as a full-time deacon and after a year's d iaconate at Rockingham. continuing his priesthood studies at St. Paul's seminary in his home state of NSW. Father Ryan believes that one of the problems facing a modern-day chaplain is the rapidturnover of patients, even serious surgical cases being moved out of the hospital after seven or eight days.
RIGHT TIME Asked whether a chaplain's time could be consumed visiting patients who did not really need his services. Father Ryan said: "It must be intuition or guidance from God, for it is remarkable how we seem to turn up at a patient's side at the right time. "The staff are a great help and will refer to us
people who are in distress. "More is being expected of chaplains by the staff. "They look to me to calm down a patient facing surgery, to take over the relatives in a time of crisis
Abortion: Anglicans back the Catholics LONDON INC) — The Anglican Board for Social Responsibility supports the abortion statement issued by the Catholic bishops of Scotland, England and Wales. Abortion is "a great moral evil" and should "only be resorted to as the appropriate way of caring for the mother if the evil of a significant threat to her life or health cannot otherwise be avoided," said the board. The board is not empowered to issue authoritative statements committing members of the C hurch of England ( Anglican), but said that its position is wellfounded in Anglican moral tradition.
UK church The statement noted c ompany that divergent views exist LONDON (NC) -- The Catholic Church in Great Britain is setting up its own mutual insurance company to provide coverage for church buildings and their contents and to provide personal liability insurance to cover accidents on church grounds. Fifteen of the 20 dioceses of England and Wales said they would join the plan. A majority of the Scottish dioceses will also join. The new company replaces an existing mutual insurance company which covers five Scottish and four English dioceses.
or when someone dies. "There is a growing awareness of what the priest can do for the whole person and that the chaplain is part of the whole healing process."
the extreme step of abortion," said the board. It also asked Christians to oppose the circumstances that make people seek abortions. The church must oppose poverty "and in particular inadequate housing and social services which continue to limit and stunt too many people's lives," said the board. "Abortion on the scale and in the context we see today calls in question the transcendental value of human life," it added.

The 32-page full-colour comic book will go into its second printing this month and 11,000 books have been distributed through local right-to-life groups since last (northern) autumn. Mrs. McRae. originator of the project, said that she chose the comic book format after her experiences as a prolife speaker. "Every time we went to speak to young people we didn't have the right materials," she said. "Some were too adult and kids are used to television. They have to have colour and action. "Teachers have told us some teenagers are rejecting straight information: so we've decided to try comics," she added.

The Catholic document is a "careful and balanced statement of the moral issues raised by the practice of abortion in this country," said the Anglican board.

Rogers, counselling and the Christian
Esalen in California had been recommended to me by Father Jim Gill andI discovered that this well known centre cannot be too lightly dismissed. In the context of a very permissive and unconventional atmosphere, people, who have deep emotional problems and are fixated, can be helped. Esalen is meant to be a short term. People going there are urged to be responsible and to continue their healing and growth with other long-term consellors. Fritz Pens and his gestaldt approach to the person as a whole has contributed greatly to the Esalen scene.
A BASE By bus from San Diego a city of great natural beauty, we came to La Jolla, perhaps the most beautiful ocean city Isaw in California, with its new university reminding me much of our Crawley campus. Imet Father Gill's friend Patrick and chatted to him about his close friend, Carl Rogers. We chatted also about the need to have a tested philosophy as a base for modern psychology. There was a need for this, Patrick said. We chatted about counselling; about the need of a genuine, interpersonal, empathetic relationship with the counsellee. This can come about through understanding the other, listening, looking. Once this relationship has been established, the counsellee can be helped to explore their own feelings, to realise they are not 'crazy', to evaluate themselves and to act, o ften by expressing appropriately their unexpressed fear or anger or sexuality or grief.
TENSION It made me recall the Pauline description of human fragility, of the tension within. do the things I would not do' and
of the challenge to grow by mastering, with God's assistance, the tendency away from human love. It made me recall that we all oscillate emotionally, lose touch with reality, some only momentarily, others for longer periods. All are human, fragmented, but returning to reality, if only briefly for some.
SESSION Carl rogers wants a person to accept self, to appreciate self, to accept their being with honesty, facing their fragility, their fear, their anger, their sexuality, their frustration. Is this what Carl Rahner is saying in his new book "Introduction to Christianity"? If persons really accept their being, themselves, they are in touch with God. Patrick prepared me for the Rogerian week end session. The approach was unstructured. The small group of seven (two were facilitators), gather, after a general meeting of the large group. S omeone presents a problem. Another responds. And so on. X talks of her nervousness and over -talkativeness; Y of unloved early years; Z of a marriage problem.
GOD'S LOVE The group is meant to be person centred. We listen to one another, without Perls"confronting'. X is no longer nervous. Y e xperiences genuine friendship. Z begins to see some light. The seventeen hours are not in vain. Rogers stresses genuineness, that is, honesty. He stresses empathy and positive regard. 'Stinking thinking' begins to be discarded.

'TASTING'
Father James DY--NON Si. of St. Thomas More College, has been overseas recently. He reflects here on e xperiences in the United States. G od's unconditional love finally means something to the group.
GIFTED At the La Jolla Rogerian workshop, one of the participants was a young Jewish girl, who had just completed her matriculation. She was a gifted person and was preparing for university studies. She had come to the workshop to gain confidence. She had a small snub nose, and at the beginning, feared criticism of her appearance. Musically, she was highly gifted, and later sang for us one of her own c ompositions, which reminded me of the Beatles' Hey Jude'. We praised her for the obvious talents we saw in her and she ended the seventeen hours weekend workshop by telling us that she no longer feared criticism, as she had begun `to be' as a person. She, the Jewish girl, came to me, the Catholic priest, and told me that she felt she could come to me with any problem and meet unconditional love. It was a high compliment.
LIFE STORY Another Jewish girl in U.S.A. where the Jewish A mericans are very influential, not only because of their wealth, but also because of their education and character, told the story of her life. She had become an expert choregrapher and was at the top of her profession. But, despite the artistic and financial success, she still felt dissatisfied with life and empty. One day, in Chicago, she w as metaphorically dragged to an Indian 'meditation' centre. She heard them chanting their mantras as they prepared for prayer. 'Meditate on yourself. God is there' she was told.

Previously, she had searched for a feeling of satisfaction, for happiness, in for example, water ski-ing, in drinking beer. The veneer of happiness coming from such things fools many Americans. But, she argued, if it depends on exterior things, it is fragile. If it depends on you, it is more permanent.
•
•
She closed her eyes and, after a time, a deep feeling of peace invaded her being.
She learned to know who she really was. She delved underneath the externals to find the divine dimension. She noted that animals procreate, live a family life, play. But humans have a deeper dimension, which they must discover. They do this by 'tasting' the divine, by meditation, by direct contact with God. All religions had this meditation in their years of fervour, for example. Judaism. But some lose this capacity to meditate and deteriorate.
YOGA Her Jewish parents were very impressed by her Indian teacher and by her own dedication to others by teaching them to meditate, whatever their faith. This Jewish girl was using a type of Yoga. In the San Francisco University summer school, Father William Johnston, S.J. taught a form of Christian Zen Buddhism as a help to meditation. One must sit up straight. One must breathe deeply. One must face distracting thoughts and they will disappear. John of the Cross was quoted with his great stress on meditation, on meditation on the life of Jesus, the Word made flesh.
Cardinal to preach; ecumenical service LONDON (NC) — Cardinal O'Fiaich of Armagh, Northern Ireland, is to preach at an ecumenical prayer service for peace in Northern Ireland on March 16 at Westminister Cathedral in London. This will be Cardinal O'Fiaich's first public engagement in England. The service will be led by Cardinal Hume of Westmiaister. and will be attended by leaders of other churches. It is intended to mark the end of two years of special prayer in England and Wales for peace in Northern Ireland. On March 17, 1978, Cardinal Hume inaugurated a month-long vigil of prayer for this intention in his diocese and the idea spread as other Catholic

Theology 'must uphold absolute respect for divine revelation' ROME (NC) — Theology at a Catholic university must uphold "the rigor of the scientific process" and "absolute respect for divine Revelation," Pope John Paul II said during a visit on February 16 to the Pontificia! Lateran University in Rome. Without scientific rigor, he said, "the university would descend tot he level of a second-class school." Without adherence to revelation it would lose it "ministry of teaching," he said. In his lengthy address to the university's faculty, students and alumni, the pope declared that theology intimately affected life and that the modern world needed "an active, fertile and stimulating circulation of Catholic thought." He also called for a theological critique and synthesis of new intellectual trends in western Europe and Latin America.
was the theology of libertation. He noted that on his visit to Puebla, Mexicoi, last year —where he discussed theories of liberation theology at length — he spoke of inadequacies in some of these theories.
CRITERIA
The pope said that he did not want to enter into the merits of various new theological positions and problems.
"1 will only say that the emergence of this fact cannot but solicit our duty of discernment and synthesis," he added. The pope called on the faculty and students of the Lateran University to take the lead in exemplifying the criteria that he said should mark a Catholic university. He listed these as fidelity, exemplariness, catholicty and a pastoral character.

In those regions "new positions and problems" were arising -which — in the name, of course, of a healthy and defined pluralism, and always preserving the dogmatic unity of the faith — can have a right to citizenship in the area of reflection and theological elaboration," he said. The pope declined to spell out the "new positions" mentioned, but indicated that one of the major areas of concern
Lenten ashes on Pope's head R OME (NC) — Pope John Paul II marked the start of Lent by receiving ashes on his head from C ardinal Gabriel Marie Garrone. At a general audience for children, the pope r ecalled the words used in the blessing with ashes: "You are dust and unto dust you shall return." "These ashes are, in fact, the symbol of the relative value of everything that is earthly," the pope told 2,000 children and youths gathered in the Vatican's Hall of Benediction. He recalled the need for "penance, mortification, renunciation, which arise from a strong desire for justice and an intense love of God." "Penance is synonymous with conversion, acid conversion means overcoming e verything that contrasts with the dignity of sons of God," the
W ASHINGTON (NC) — A New York program providing direct cash payment to independent schools for the costs of certain State-mandated achievement testing programs has been upheld by the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision. The ruling probably marked the first time that the court has approved direct cash subsidies to non-public schools. In a majority opinion written by Justice White, the court ruled that the New York testing program and its non-public schools neither advanced the purposes of religion nor excessively entangled the state in the affairs of religion. "We decline to embrace a formalistic dichotomy that bears so little relationship to comon sense or to the realities of school finance," said Justice White, rejecting arguments that direct cash payments would be a new and serious violation of church-state separation. In a similar case from
New York seven years ago, the court struck down the State's testing program because while the program had secular purposes it also had no b uilt-in safeguards against benefiting religious purposes. But this time the court upheld the New York testing program because, the court said, revisions made by the State Legislature in 1974 in response to the court's 1973 decision adequately assured that the program would not benefit religion. One major provision in the New York testing program was that the funds would be audited to insure that State expenditures for testing in nonpublic schools actually were being used for that purpose.

MANILA (NC) — Building aware and active small Christian communities with the local church a s their centre emerged as the focal point of the recent international mission congress here.
"The emphasis is not any breakthrough on mission ideas, but on the sharing of reflections and experiences leading to a living expression of Christ's message to Asia and the w hole world," said B ishop Gaudencio Rosales, Filipino director of the Pontifical Mission Aid Societies and director of the congress. A workshop on coresponsible evangelization concluded that the local church in Asia must act as the "centre and source of evangelization." • The local church should work with all members of the Christian community to build small Christian communities, stated the p articipants of the workshop.

Massive poverty andilliteracy coexist with pockets of highly insulated affluence added to the presence of many religions and the wide diffusion of cultures throughout Asia.

This Sunday is a day on which the hopes of so many at the Little Sisters of the Poor Glendalough depend.
It is a day of expectation for the Sisters and residents who put so much effort into preparing for the sale of work. For months they have been busy preparing jams, beadwork, baby and children's clothing, woodwork, embroidery, soft toys, pickled goods, sweets and a host of other items. There is a large selection of beautifully made babywear and at affordable prices! A giant auction will be held on the grounds and once again there will be items of interest for everyone going at bargain prices.
PARKING There will be pony rides for the children and both the garden enthusiast and flat dweller will see many delightful garden plants to choose from. There is a free raffle of WO for every visitor; free car-parking will be provided in the grounds for as many as possible, parking space was not possible
There are film and musical evenings, carpet bowls and bingo setssions. The residents produce their own monthly magazine " The Glendalough Chronicle." There is also occupational therapy, chiropody and physiotherapy. There is no reason why the elderly should be allowed to vegetate when their minds are active. The Little Sisters are very much aware of mental neglect besides physical neglect and make e very endeavour to encourage the residents to participate in the various activities of the Home.

A new nursing home, if encouraged by public support, will comprise of single and four-bed wards with private bathroom and other features.
THE SICK Besides the active and mainly happy residents at Glendalough there are t hose carrying heavy burdens and it would be both foolish and naive to state otherwise. There are those who are confined to wheelchairs, who cannot feed themselves, who have memory lapses or who can only rely on past memories because there are few people to provide new and viable memories. There are also those who are courageously fighting the effects of strokes and other serious ailments, t hose who are lonely because their families are gone and those whose families have grown distant.
ACTIVE There are 130 residents of all demoninations at the Home. Forty-five are confined to the nursing home, but the majority are very active and do odd jobs around the Home as well as occupying themselves with their own particular hobby.

The "don't" divorced and separated Catholics NEWARK, N.J. (NC) — "Is your tummy in a knot o ver your situation?" a recent advertisement addressed to divorced and separated Catholics in two New Jersey newspapers asked.
The advertisements were an attempt to reach out to the "don't" Catholics, according to Franciscan Father Edgar Holden, director of the Newark Archdiocese's Ministry to Divorced Catholics (MDC). "Don't" Catholics, Father Holden said were often the divorced "who don't go to church, who don't read the religious Press, who don't think the church really cares about them and who seemingly don't give a hoot about their re1igion.' The advertisement placed by MDC, also asked "Depressed? Angry at your church? Frustrated? Mistrust the opposite sex?" and continued "If 'yes' to any of those questions, you

"Really, it's inexcusable. And we clergy are probably more to blame than anyone" he added. "All along we've pretended the 'divorce thing' would simply vanish in thin air if we looked the other way. "Well, we've looked the other way, and the situation has worsened." He pointed out that there were 6 to 8 million divorced and separated Catholics in the United States. "Though we typecast many of them as 'don't' Catholics, it wouldn't take much for them to happily relinquish their 'don't' status. A modicum of love and interest on the part of the church would go a long way in effecting this transition," he said. Archbishop Peter L Gerety of Newark introduced Ministry to Divorced Catholics into the archdiocese in 1975 and Father Holden has been the director since its inception.

24-hour fast in tents at monastery to aid Kampuchea victims Over 100 people camped in the North Perth Monastery grounds last weekend and held a 24-hour fast. The aim was to aid the victims of the Kampuchea crisis and prepare for the starve-athon commenced several month's ago. Participants came from five separate youth groups that are attached to the Monastery: Young Christian Workers, Young Christian Students, Redemptorist Youth team, Shalomites Singing group and Prayer group. It was the first time the different groups had come together for one united action. On Saturday afternoon Julia Pickering (Prayer group) and Mark Panaia (YCW) put up tents in the Monastery grounds.
PARENTS The fast began at 7 p.m. with an outdoor Mass celebrated by Fr. Tom Ryan. Parents showed their support by attending the Mass: Mr and Mrs Riney, and Mr and Mrs Donaldson, Mr and Mrs Ian Miller and family, Mrs Poezzarini, and Mrs Bolzonella, some even joined the fast. With hunger pangs setting in after a restless night on the hard ground, the youth began collecting donations from those
arriving at the early Mass. Nino Lacomella and Michael O'Neil spoke at the Masses encouraging the congregation to give generously and to educate themselves by attending the films shown after each Mass. "The response was very generous," said Jill Meneghello. During the afternoon Mr. Scott Christie, the Director of Community Aid Abroad, presented an audio-visual on the organisation's involvement in Kampuchea and other Third World countries. "It is vitally important that we do partake in actions like these, to show the community and our political leaders that there are people concerned about world poverty and willing to sacrifice to make the world more just". said Scott Christie.

University sacks 17 S ANTIAGO, Chile Teachers (NC) — The governmentappointed rector of the "purge" Catholic University dismissed 17 professors in what opponents of the action called political purge. The 17 were part of a group of 70 professors in four major universities dismissed by rectors. The firing came after Chilean church officials said that the running of Catholic univeristies in Chile was now directly under the Vatican and the bishops no longer had broad powers to deal with Church-State education problems. In February the 70 professors were dismiss ed. Among the more prominent professors fired is economist Andres Sanhueza, for 30 years a member of the faculty at the University of Concepcion. He recently clashed with Treasury Minister Sergio de Castro. "The rector said I had to

go because the university was no place for people with political views, the more so if these were critical of the junta," Sanhueza said.
were among those collecting after Mass. The fast concluded with a symbolic rice meal prepared by Debbie Brinkworth and Grazia Bolzonella. "It was a hard thing to do, but a worthwhile experience but I am glad I did it", said Annette Parollo. "It was an experience of prayer and sacrifice for the youth and thanks must go to Fr. Ryan, Fr. Dan, the Redemptorist community and the very generous support of the Monastery attenders." said Michael O'Neill.
Polish-Australians who danced before a cardinal "1 danced for a cardinal" said 14 year old Monica Szunejko of Bedford enthusiastically last week. According to Stan Majewski, co-director of the PoIonia Polish Folk and Dance group, this would have been a strange expression on the lips of a young Catholic A ustralian thirty years ago. "Since then, thousands of Poles and other nationalities have brought with them customs and traditions that have been passed on to the youth of today," he said. The young dance group performed a traditional Polish dance for Cardinal Wladyslaw Rubin,
delegate of the Primate of Poland, at a reception at the General Sikorski Club, Bellevue last week. The Cardinal encouraged the young people to continue in the beautiful traditions of faith and folk lore that are so dear to the hearts of Polish parents. He congratulated the adults who were ensuring that young people continued the Polish traditions. He spent some time personally speaking w ith the young people.

Youth and Church stand on issues such as abortion Every day we have the experience of listening to the million words come non-stop from our radios. hat t For most of us it is a rare to be at the xperience e microphone at the radio station. This week I was a guest on Neil Adcock's Talk Back programme with the president of the Abortion Information Service. The topic was abortion. Having spent four years as a student in Adelaide where abortion was first legalised, this topic has been of special interest for me. To prepare for the programme I spent the day refreshing my knowledge and testing my ideas on a number of people. Despite all this anxious preparation, I knew that a talk-back radio programme was going to be a time when I would have to give a quick answer but one with sincerity and conviction.
CONVICTION I would imagine that young people have the same situation when they are suddenly confronted at work, on the bus or even at a party with questions about the Church stand on several issues. On the talk-back I realised that I would have to be heard as a priest with strong convictions about the Church's teachings but also as a priest with Compassion.
For it has been a privilege in my priesthood to share with women the anxieties attached to being pregnant even to the point of contemplating an abortion, as well as the heart-break and turmoil that a woman experiences having had an abortion. I have a double concern for the youth who must come out of school and confront such issues.
TEACHING Firstly, they should know the Church's teaching on the dignity of human life, they should be well informed on the practical aspects of that teaching, and they should have a conviction of faith about that teaching. Secondly, they must have the ability to answer such questions with true Christian sincerity and compassion.

People speak about the teaching of the Church as if it is something far removed, as if it is imposed from on high. They speak about it as if it is unenlightened, unscientific and behind the times. People with such ideas are obviously not understanding that the Church speaks the message of Jesus Christ, that it speaks the message of justice and truth and that it is written on the very heart of people. It is amazing how the poor, the illiterate, the uneducated have a strong sense of God's truth.
THE POOR We do not hear of really poor people destroying their children it is more often the rich, the sophisticated, affluent whose plans of a career or even leisure are interrupted by an unexpected child, who seek abortion. I hope that young people are firstly educated by their parents, to make their own the message of Jesus Christ that is proclaimed by the Church, so that when they reach adulthood and must take responsibility for their actions they may have the solid truth of faith to guide their life. FR. JOHN JEGOROW
Dianella camp achieved its aim 'Twenty six young Dianella people from the S odality of Mary attended a camp at Rockingham last weekend. The aim was to bring the members closer together and offer an opportunity for spiritual renewal. "Our theme" said Chris Callus, "was solidarity and spirituality". "I believe we achieved this aim." Fr. John Orzanski from Rockingham celebrated the Sunday Eucharist which was the highlight of the spiritual segment" said Jill Ryan, CPY fulltimer. The age of those attending the camp ranged from 14 to 21. "For new members it was an excellent opportunity to feel a sense of belonging to the Dianella group." said Chris Callus.

Orszanski w hose parents are Polish. "We last saw the cardinal 12 years ago when we were just commencing our course at St. Charles' seminary Guildford and this visit has been a reawakening of our links with Poland and Rome" said Father Orszanski. Father Jcgorow remembers hitch-hiking from Harvey in 1956 as a y oung child with his father just to be present at a Mass celebrated by the present primate of Poland, Cardinal Wyszynski. "This present gathering has brought back many memories of my involvment with Polish tradi-
tions and customs right back to the days when at the age of 10 I met John Orszanski at the annual holiday camp at Point Peron and in subsequent Saturday school and various concerts and gatherings" said Father JegorOW. Feelings on the iSit were summed up in the recitation before the cardinal by 10-year-old Joanna Grygorcewicz of a poem specially written by Aniela Andrejew: "I welcome you. Father. our guardian, warmly wit h all my heart and soul. Y ou love us all without difference. We offer you our love from all our hearts."

"Stagnation" in Australian birth rate
Sir, Of all the papers I have read during this March yours is the only one which has reported the salient figures from the 1978 "Births" report of the Bureau of Statistics drawing attention to the continued decline in the Australian Nett Reproduction Rate to the new low of 0.937. Everyone whose business is the care of and the providing for infants and children should get the message of decline and stagnation which overhangs a nation and its economy when its people fail to reproduce themselves to at least replacement levels; and thinking, they should then resolve on needful corrective measures. Nurses, gynaecologists, p aediatricians and teachers are in the front line of those immediately affected. They should throw their influence against the jobs-before-children cult which is being imposed on women by feminist movements in all their unthinking vociferousness.
THE BANKS These should be a move against our banks which entice young people to go into debt by papering their walls with foreign travel posters and offers of easy money for travel now and pay later; their anxiety to export Australian money matches feminist unintelligence. C hild Endowment should be restored, as it was in 1976, to the parity level with the average or b asic wage which obtained in the 19401950 era. In 1976 endowment cost close on $1,000,000,000. To restore relativity to
Return to Shekels i•n Israel
JERUSALEM (NC) -Israel has changed the name of its currency to the shekel, the same term used for money during the time of Abraham. The shekel replaces the Israeli pound as the official name of the country's currency. Each shekel is worth 10 pounds. When the change was announced, the pound was worth about 2.5 cents, making the shekel worth about 25 cents. This is a "return to our biblical sources," said Finance Minister Jigael Hurwitz. The Bible says that A braham paid 400 silver shekels for a burial site for his wife. However, Israel's new shekels are not silver

ReflectionsontheNew AustralianPrayerBook By Bishop Howell WITT in his feature "Plus Aitch" in "THE ANGLICAN MESSENGER" Being of a conservative bent,Ihad hoped that with the arrival of the New Australian Prayer Book, the days of liturgical chopping and changing were over and done with.

Teach the Under Aliases migrants English
Sir, I was very much taken by your report of Melbourne Catholics putting themselves in the difficult shoes of migrants, when it comes to facing bureaucracy, with little English at their disposal (The Record, March 6). In Subiaco parish, our local praesidium of the Legion of Mary, Gate of Heaven, has devoted over 20 years to assisting local migrant families to settle in the community. At present our members include two Timorese , t wo Italians and a Lebanese. Our most recent venture has been to establish, with the help of the Migrant Education Department, a class of English for a group of migrants. It is so successful and rewarding that we would like to encourage other Catholic groups and parishes to do the same andI would be glad to tell of our experience if they care to contact me at 41 !'lanson Street, phone 387 1949.

But not this bimbo. Having started this naming game, he was hooked. Three more holiday makers were communicated under the aliases of 'Hm,"Arrhhh' and `Ughh', and the bloke behind me who had sung all the hymns in a sterling baritone but who had enough hair to stuff a sofa found himself being addressed as Gladys. You've heard the phrase, 'He doesn't know whether he's Arthur or Martha'? A perfect description of the congregation at St. Nomenclature's that very Sunday morning. Oh, we all had a pretty good idea who we were when we stood for the opening hymn, but for our closing effort . . .! I tell you this, if the clergyman had said, "Albert, you're five weeks behind with your pledge envelopes," I'd have coughed up on the spot.
It will have to stop of course. Names are too precious to be scattered about like confetti. I remember once during the war when the bombing was at its height being sent to take a string of weddings at a church that had just been clobbered. Smoke and ashes still hung heavy in the air, the sanctuary was a conglomeration of debris, firehoses, sand and water but it was like a new pin compared to the vestry. It was there I found the vicar's wife in overalls and tears. (Her husband, poor man, had been on thechurch roof when a bomb had fallen). Somewhere, somehow in all that clutter she unearthed the names of the six couples I was to join together in Holy Matrimony just as the organ began to omit clouds of steam and about one note in eight of 'Here comes the bride. .
Amid the debris Picking my way through fallen beams and dodging the occasional dropping half brick I went to meet the first couple on my list. "John," Isaid to the groom, "wilt thou take this man to be your lawful wedded wife?" "I will," said John. "Martha," I said, "wilt thou take this man to be thy lawful wedded husband?" "I will," she said. "Take Martha by the right hand," Itold John, "and say after me, 'I, John, take thee, Martha . . " He did it beautifully.
Names important "Now Martha," I said, "you take John by his right hand and say after me, 'I Martha take thee John . . " "Is it all right," she said, "if I say Marlene and Clive instead of Martha and John? See, they're our real names and as it's our weddingIreckon it'd be nice to use 'ern . . . instead of the one's you've given us.Imean, John and Martha are OK, but I'd rather call him Clive. . ." You see the point? Names ARE important. And the Prayer Book (like the Bible) takes great care over them. -Name this child," at baptism. No possibility of a mistake there. And having been bestowed, that's that. And in the Catechism. "What is your name?" (I still recall the little lass who replied 'Norm'. Well, how else can you pronounce N or M?)
Ommissions? And at marriage. Start strewing the wrong ones around there and as stated above, even falling masonry and the need to be married in haste won't prevent the party of the first or second part setting the record straight. But at Holy Communion? Not in the Prayer Book. And not in my book either. Names there are an accretion we can well do without. The chances of my being addressed as 'Rock' (as in Hudson) are remote. But mark my words, the day when I'm greeted as the Incredible Hulk are not far distant. So much for the additions, the sundries as it were. What about the omissions, you ask? Patience, dear reader, patience. They will be dealt with in our next gripping instalment.

New trial in defamation case R OME (NC) — A merican author R obert Katz must face trial again on charges of defaming the late Pope Pius XII in his book, "Death in Rome," Italy's Court of Cassation (supreme court) has ruled. K atz, whose book claims that Pope Pius refrained from trying to stop a Nazi reprisal massacre in 1944, was convicted in 1975 of defaming the pope. But the conviction was o verturned by the Italian
Court of Appeals in 1978. The charges against Katz were first brought in 1972 by Contessa Elena Rossignani; niece of the late pope. K atz's book, and a related film, "Massacre in Rome," are accounts of the killing by the Italian resistance on March 23, 1944, of 32 German soldiers and the Nazi roundup and reprisal,execution of 335 Italian men the next day in the Ardeatine Caves outside Rome.

'The Goldsmith's Shop' by playwright named Wojtyla a "success" V ATICAN CITY (NC) "After this success, my artistic future is quipped Pope John Paul II at a performance of his play, ssured," a Goldsmith's Shop" in the Vatican's Consistorial Hall. "The The play was performed for the pope, who sat in the front row, by eight Italian actors. Also present was a select audience of about 100 people, including four cardinals, Italian theatre personalities, and friends and relatives of the actors. The pope wrote the play in 1960 when he was a member of the Polish hierarchy. He used the pen name Andrzej Jawien. The theme is the indissolubility of marriage. "I confess to you that I am moved and I must thank you all for this evening," said the pope to the actors after the performance.
PREMIERE "When I wrote this work, and even after, when it was used in the preparation of young couples for marriage, I never thought that one day it would be performed. "What can I do to say thank you, if not to give you my benediction. "No, no, please do not

The Italian State broadcasting system had previously run a reading of it on radio and the actors who performed for the pope did a dramatic reading of it last December at a theatre in Rome. The pope had asked that no admission be charged at last winter's reading.

APPLAUSE "In Poland, this work was never performed or broadcast," said the pope. "And when heft,Icould never have imagined that one eveningIwould see it performed in another country. "But probably, if I hadn't become pope, no one would have even noticed that it had been written." At the end of the performance, the actors app-
STORIES The play tells three interrelated love stories. One deals with the engagement and marriage of two young people. The second relates the bitter developments of a poor marriage. The third tells of the marriage between a child of the first couple and a child of the second. The play results from the theatrical experience of y oung Karol Wojtyla who performed with the Rhapsodic Theatre of Cracow, Poland, before becoming a priest. The last time a play was privately produced for a pope at the Vatican was in 1950 when the Hebertot Theatre of Paris put on Paul Claudel's "L'Announce Faite a Marie" (The Tidings Brought to Mary) for the late Pope Pius XII.

etters to the Editor I
LONDON (NC) — Six Catholics imprisoned in C zechoslovakia since September 10, 1979, have been released without explanation, accordingto Keston College's Centre for the Study of Religion and communism near London. A Keston news release linked the release to talks held in Rome in January between Czechoslovak o fficials and Vatican diplomats, Archbishops Luigi Poggi and Achille Silvestrini. T he six Catholics include Jesuit priests, Father Frantishek Lizna and FatherJosefZverina. They were arrested and charged with publishing underground Catholic literature, including "Redemptor Hominis," (Redeemer of Man), an encyclical issued by Pope John Paul II in March 1979. Keston said that the talks in Rome could not have taken place w hile C atholics were in custody. The Rome talks were believed to centre on the naming of new bishops in Czechoslovakia. Currently nine of the 14 Sees are vacant.

Demands made on priests A chance to reassess attitudes of the laity Sir, There were two articles in The Record last week thatIfound quite challenging. The first was about Father McNutt and the second was Father Jegorow's comment that young people should seek out old priests in the diocese and talk to them. Both articles made me look at my attitudes to priests. I feel a very deep sadness about Father McNutt. I was one of the thousands who sat in the Concert Hall and benefited from hearing him speak.

THE RECORD
THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1980
( ARENA JOTTINGS ) T he difference between Victorian and West Australian club teams was demonstrated last Sunday when Ron Barassi's North Melbourne had a 60-point win over East Perth in the Barry C able testimonial match at Perth Oval. East Perth were far from disgraced, particularly in the first half, but had no answer to the precision and disciplined team play of NortIrMelbourne. Two areas in which this was most noticeable were in hand passing and in backing up. The North Melbourne handball was remarkable in its accuracy and effectiveness and time and again it was the weapon of goal-scoring attacks or dashing defence. Backing up and assisting the man with the ball seemed to be an article of faith, or perhaps a welllearnt chapter, out of their football bible to every North Melbourne player. The East Perth players u sed handball and backed up well but their efforts fell short of the precision of Barassi's men. It was certainly not a matter of the individual players all being better than Cable's charges.
•
For instance, Kelly beat Tanner in the centre, the rucks led by Duke, generally kept the redoubtable Dempsey down to an ordinary game, Grant Campbell did well at half-forward and, after all, the brilliant Ross Glendinning was a West Australian player not long ago. Admittedly he is a somewhat more brilliant practitioner now. It was noticeable, too, that North Melbourne's kicking was uniformly excellent, indicating that Victorian players who normally kick the ball long at home, seem to revel in the better weather here and cover great distances with their kicking. The champions Greig, Breidis the captain Wayne Schimmelbusch gave great pleasure to the spectators by their fine play in a game which was a fitting testimonial to a fine footballer and man. * **
The remarkable honour bestowed on Mr. Joe Lord, the West Australian, in his election ao a life member of the Australian Rugby Union was thoroughly well deserved. He has been largely responsible for the development of the game in Western Australia, since after the World War he took a big part in founding the Western Suburbs club. Two years later when he was only 31 be became president of the WA Rugby Union. In the fifties Mr. Lord, w ho is a geologist, worked in Sydney and there became a WA delegate to the ARU. He resumed the WA presidency after returning to W A and from the early sixties rugby union prospered here, despite strong
By BERNARD JAY opposition from the league game. He brought a Japanese team to Perth and was responsible for visits of other international teams to make stop-off visits here. A convert from Australian Rules which he played when a Christ Church Grammar School student, he made the changeover when at university and later played for Cottesloe. He is a delegate to the International Board, which controls rugby union world-wide, a life member of the WA R ugby Union and a senior vice-president, and for the past decade he has been a vice-president of the Australian body. For services to rugby he was made WA Citizen of the Year in sport in 1978. He has been liaison officer for several international teams in Australia and about 12 years ago he managed the Australian team, the Wallabies, in Ireland and Scotland. He founded the Rugby Club at Perry Lakes stadium where he initiated the idea of local club s ocial organisations which have proved financially successful.

While the details are scant and there has been no experience of it in operation the new rule governing ruckmen at the centre bounce -down adopted by the Victorian Football League is an interesting innovation but does not appear to make the game better from the point of view of t he players or the spectators. The plan is to draw a dividing line across the centre circle to prevent ruckmen from pushing and wrestling for positions. The ruckmen will now run in from the opposite directions, say the originators of the new rule, and so "ruffling" will be eliminated. As Graham Moss has pointed out, some of the skill in ruck work will be lost and "two players will now be charging at one another trying to bash the ball and it will be a lot harder to direct the ball to a team-mate". And what if one of the ruckmen runs in on a diagonal course? It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that a clever ruckman, keeping within his "territory", will find ways and means of avoiding wrestling and also avoiding straight-on confrontation with his opponent. To the observer of VFL games it would appear that the greater need is to try to eliminate the "wrestling" practice from the throw-ins from the boundary rather than off the bounce down. There does not appear

to be any urgent need to eliminate any undue "ruffling" at the bouncedown in West Australian football and, in any event, the rules as they stand are adequate to cope with any unfair "interference" or blocking by ruckmen whether at the centre or on the boundary line. No doubt the other Rules States will closely note how the new rule operates in Victoria in in view of the possibility of an attempt being made to have it adopted in all States. It could be that it will not suit States other than Victoria.

ELORANCE continued on his winning way when a very easy winner over 1,800 metres on Saturday. Having his first cit y start after three successive country wins, the threeyear -old Royal Yacht gelding was always travelling well on the pace and dashed clear on straightening to win by two lengths eased downs. There appear to be many more wins in store for him a nd his trainer Jim Allpike. NON FERROUS was having his first start over 2,400 metres on Saturday when finishing second to Medal Talk in the Success Graduation Stakes. He has shown plenty of ability over middle distances recently, winning o ne event by many lengths and I feel as though he could soon score in a similar event and give trainer Darryl K ennedy a welcome change of luck. CONCORDE LADY put up a good performance on Saturday when only beaten a length by the promising galloper, King Cotton. She has only been lightly raced and each run this time in training has been an improvement indicating that she should soon open her winning account either in a similar city event or in the provincial area. H AKIM BOY, this former top two-year-old was slightly disappointing when last in training around the Christmas carnival but a convincing win on Saturday indicates that he may have returned to his best. The Jungle Boy -To wer wyn colt was always well back in the 1000-metre event but in the straight ran right over the leaders to score a very good win over the very c onsistent filly, Pure Gamble.
