Six dangers threaten human values in the world; Cardinal Hume LONDON (NC) — Six dangers threatening human values in the modern world were listed by Cardinal George Basil Hume of Westminister. "As I reflect on the six threats to human development, I have to conclude that each one constitutes a collective sin — a social or institutional evil — in which the sinfulness of the world is clearly demonstrated," he said. The cardinal said that the six dangers were: the great disparity of wealth among nations; the threat to the environ ment; the failure to con t rol and equitably distribute energy resources; the possibility of neclear war; hunger; and the failure to respect life.
Iran: Pope sends appeal to four leaders V ATICAN CITY (NC) Pope John Paul II earlier this week sent a personal appeal for Peace to the four world leaders most directly involved in the Iranian hostage situation.
The Vatican did not release the text but the contents of the appeal to A yatollah Khomeini were broadcast on Radio Teheran. Using the papal "we" a nd referring to the Iranian religious leader as " Your Eminence," Pope John Paul said: " With all sincerity, Permit us to express the Profound anxiety which grips our heart at the w orsening of relations" b etween the United States and Iran. "Raising our hands in e art-felt prayer, we Implore the grace and good will of the omnipotent in order that the noble nation of Iran, w hich is very dear to us, may be safeguarded and t he region, already grappling with another deeply rooted problem, 'nay be protected from even more grave dangers," Pope John Paul added. lie asked Khomeini to use his "influence and Power" to work out a

"The solutions to the problems are, in different ways and in varying degrees, the responsibility of each of us," he said. Cardinal Hume spoke at a seminar on world development sponsored by the Justice and Peace C ommission of the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales. The seminar was for members of Parliament, civil servants, labour leaders and business managers. The six dangers "provide for me powerful proof of humanity's fall, which is not to say, of course, that each one of us is personally at fault, nor do we each stand guilty b efore God," said Cardinal Hume. "But humanity's tragic legacy does demand that humanity as a whole takes responsibility of its future des tiny," he added. A paper prepared by Barbara Ward (Lady Jackson) said that 75 percent of the world's population lives on 20 per cent
"(Ecumenism) doesn't mean one given structure, but a unity of purpose and concern," the archbishop said. "To relate honestly and frankly without pulling 'moral rank' is a real art we have to learn. "And it's not always an obvious trait of Christians." Although the majority of the 400 workshop participants were national and local Catholic and Protestant ecumenical o fficers, Archbishop Scott said that "the work of ecumenism continues sometimes almost in spite of the hierarchy. "There has been much impact and creativity on
level." The Canadian prelate said that his involvement in ecumenism began during his student days at the University of British Columbia. Later, in his first parish as the only non-Roman Catholic clergyman in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, during World War II, he "learned to minister to people as people, without trying to change their denomination. "Deliberate proselytizing can be pretty destructive," he said. "Every tradition has a strength of its own." Archbishop Scott, moderator of the Central IV
Council of Churches, said that he viewed the main stumbling block to Christian unity as "the lack of a deep enough understanding of the truth, biblical vision and mission of the church." He called the tendency to "absolutize" a form of idolatry. "Who knows God completely?" he asked. "Our view of him is always only partial. "But we try to make our particular view of God into God. "We are making God in our image. And when we absolutize God, we aren't willing to learn from others. "This is a s ource of much

Parish Programme for MASS Co-responsibility TIMES

By Father G. BEYER, Chairman, Committee for Diocesan co-Responsibility
In an earlier article under the heading "Parish Programme for Co-responsibility" the rationale of the programme was outlines and the principles setr down. It is the hope of the board of management of the Archdiocesan Coresponsibility Programme that, when in full operation, there will develop a greater sense of unity among the parishes which, together, make up the family of the archdiocese. In practical terms, the Catholic people in a newly developing area will be encouraged by knowing that their fellow Catholics in the more established parishes are helping them, both financially and spiritually, to build up the local church. Planning for the launching of the programme is now almost completed. The Board of Management, having completed the visitation of the par-
ishes, has submitted to Archbishop Goody a list of what it considers to be fair contributions to the scheme. Naturally, these vary widely, from a nominal sum of a few hundred dollars to some quite substantial amounts in four figures. Shortly after Easter, parish priests will receive a letter from the Archbishop summarising the objectives of the Coresponsibility and informing them of the amount which their parishes should be able to contribute annually for the next three years. It is intended that this a mount should be allowed for in future parish budgets. Where a parish is not realising the potential of its parishioners to give

THE RECORD
Lancelin church jubilee recalls the old fishing village Lancelin's church of Our Lady of Fatima is 25 years old this week, and in its day it has been a hall, Catholic school and the scene of many public events in the town.
Fifty years ago Lancelin w as a fishing port accessible only by boat. J oe De Ceglie, still fishing at Lancelin with five of his sons, was one of those pioneer fishermen. By 1949, when the postwar crayfishing industry blossomed there was at least a rough limestone r oad into the settlement of 300 people, two thirds of them being Catholic. But it was still a rough crossing for Benedictines from New Norcia so for the first Mass there in 1952 Father William OS B came over by chartered aircraft. It was a case of landing either on the beach or a dry claypan. The most convenient place for an altar for that
first Mass was the back of Frank Gazely's truck. Down on the ground later Benedictine journeys to Lancelin proved hazardous with Father William once rolling his car and Father Isidore having to be towed from the swollen Moore River on a few occasions. The opening of the church in 1955 was a grand affair, according to Alan Collins and Vince Miragliotta who were present. The ceremony was boosted by the presence o f the Clontarf band under Joe Jackson. Clontarf then had a holiday home for the boys next to the church. It has since been sold to scouts.
The church was also the town's first school and t wo Presentation Sisters commenced teaching 27 pupils in 1956. Their quarters were cubicles at the rear of the church until better facilities were built. Desks and chairs are still at the church as signs of former days. With a bitumen road linking the town with the outside Lancelin is now a busy holiday resort as well as a fishing centre. Some 250 people filled the church for Easter Sunday. Mass is usually said there at 5 p.m. on Sundays of long weekends. A jubilee Mass will be offered on Saturday April 26 at 6.30 p.m.
How people died at An Vim. copyright slain prelate's suit settled funeral service
WASHINGTON (NC) — An $8.6 million copyright infringement suit by FEL Publications, Ltd., against the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Conference (NCCB-USCC) has been settled without any admission of liability. The bishops' groups a ccepted settlement terms from FEL, an interfaith church music company based in Los A ngeles. The music publisher had proposed sending of a letter to the Catholic bishops around the United States and the publication of the letter in the newsletter issued by the Bishops' Committee on
the Liturgy. FEL said that it made this proposal because it believed that the copyright violations alleged in the suit had ceased. Filed in November, 1977, the suit charged that the NCCB-USCC, the national agencies of the country's Catholic bishops, had infringed FE L's copyright "by failing to provide adequate

direction to their dioceses and parishes concerning the proper use of materials copyrighted by FEL," and "thereby caused, permitted and materially contributed to the publication, distribution and-or sale" of songbooks including songs copied illegally from FEL Publications. The letter describing the s ettlement agreement between FEL and the NCCB-USCC stated that the settlement "does not affect the suit between FEL and the Catholic Bishop of Chicago The suit against the Chicago Archdiocese for copyright infringement is asking for more than $2 million in damages. The NCCB appealed in the letter to those engaged in parish music programs throughout the country "to curb and discourage any abuse of authors' and composers' rights through the illegal use of copyrighted materials." The bishops' conference pointed out that private reproduction of copyrighted material could substantially diminish the legitimate royalties d ue composers and authors for their works. The loss of profits also compelled publishers to cut back production and reduce the number of new w orks published, the NCCB said. Noting that many music publishers had policies that permitted the legal duplication of their copyrighted songs, the letter said, "Permission for the reproduction of these copyrighted songs should be obtained from the publishers or their authorized representatives."
Archbishop Quinn of San Francisco was at the funeral ceremony ,of the slain Archbishop Romero, of San Salvador, when more than two dozen people were shot or trampled to death. Many Catholic bishops visiting the country have d enied govern ment reports that the Leftists started the shooting. The following is Archbishop Quinn's eye witness account: I was on the steps of the cathedral near the alter which had been set up in front of the main door of the cathedral for the Mass. The casket of Archbishop Romero was there, too. There was a gate in front of the steps which was closed and locked at the time of the Mass so that people would not be crowding along the stairs. There were about 100,000 people packed into the square on a hot, humid day for the Mass, which began about 1 1 a.m.
ORDERLY During the first read ing Icould see a large column of people, very orderly and peaceful, marching down one side of the square, fists raised. They were members of a Leftist group and they wanted to place a wreath on Archbishop Romero's coffin. There were no police or security of any kind, and t he only people in evidence for crowd con trol were a bunch of Boy Scouts, who were remarkable under the pressure. The scouts tried to close r anks and keep the marchers from coming to the altar. Very quietly and without incident the marchers gave the wreath to the scouts, who brought it up to the casket. Ever ything was very calm at this point.
Cardinal Ernesto Cor ripio Ahumada of Mex ico City, who was r epresenting the pope, then began to preach the homily. He got about two-thirds through it when a shot rang out. T here was a sharp shooter on the roof of a government building across the square. I can't say for sure, but the shot likely originated from there. Then there was an explosion near the far right end of the square by a nother government building. It went off near the area where the leftists had stopped. The bomb must have been thown at them; they certainly didn't open fire on themselves. Then there was another explosion and more shots and the whole thing was sud denly out of control.
PANIC The people panicked and came running toward the gate in front of the cathedral. A lot of people were jammed against the gate and were trampled, but many came over the gate and up the stairs. I was carried along by the force of the crowd. An episcopal chair had been set up in front of the cathedral doors for the cardinal, and it was blocking my entrance to the cathedral. I could feel the push of the crowd behind me and I saw the chair in front of me and, well, I just had this vision of possibly being pushed into the chair and falling down and being trampled. Someone must have moved the chair out of the
way and somehow I got into the cathedral. The church was built to hold 3,000, but there were 6,000 of jummed in there. The only thing I could think of was pictures of slave ships and how the people were all jammed t ogether and couldn't breath or barely move. Those of us who had been concelebrating the Mass still were fully vested. There were some nuns and priests in there who had some water and were trying to assist the people. The ordeal was partic ularly difficult for the women and children. People were passing out. and dead bodies were being brough inside.
SECURITY We were just all packed in there. Every so often we could hear shots and bombs going off outside but we couldn't tell what was going on. The most amazing thing w as that abso lutely nobody attemp ted to restore order. There was no security even though a large crowd had been expected, and there were many visiting dignitar ies from other countries. Even the El Salvador government sent no official representative.

To the unchurched "Gentlemen,Iam 16 years old and lam not a member of any church. I have seriously been thinking of becoming a Catholic. "When I heard about you on the radio,I decided to write to you for information. . That was one of 650 responses to radio and television announcements sponsored by the Washington and Baltimore archdioceses, to appeal to the unchurched. One writer said of the commercials, "They're so beautiful, they made me cry." Another said, "I think this will change my life." Response to the spots, prepared by the Paulist national office for evangelization, "convinces us that this method of evangelizing through the media can be very effective," said auxiliary Bishop Marino. The announcements are aimed at people who belong to no church group, including inactive Catholics. The spots featured lay Catholics giving witness to their faith and closed withan invitation to the listener or viewer to join the Catholic family. Paulist Father Illig, director of the Paulist National Office of Evangelization, is the man behind the experiment of using paid spots for evangelization. Father Illig said he sees two by-products of the effort: "We hope practicing Catholics will be even more proud of their faith and will be stimulated by these spots to join in the evanglization effort — via their prayers and personal participation as lay evangelizers." "Also, while it is not our primary objective, we realize that the unchurched people we reach via radio and television may respond, and then be contacted by their Catholic neighbors and yet not be motivated to join the Catholic family.. . .but become active members of another church.

Mr. Dudley Common faith in ancient Cummuskey dies Augsburg suddenly Confession V ATICAN CITY (NC) — A "common faith" for Catholics and Lutherans can be recognized in the Augsburg Confession, an international commission of Catholic and Lutheran theologians declared in a j oint statement r eleased in March 26. The Augsburg Confession — whose 450th anniversary is being c elebrated by Lutherans this year — is a fundamental statement of Lutheran belief and one of the most important documents marking the 1 6th -century Protestant Reformation. Despite its key role in the Reformation, the e xpress purpose of the Augsburg Confession is to be "a witness to the faith of the one, holy, catholic apostolic church," the joint statement said. . Major points of the Joint statement included: "BASIC" Catholics and Lutherans confess a common faith "in the Triune G od and the saving work of God through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit," remaining "one In this central and most important truth of the Christian faith." ' 'A broad consensus emerges on the doctrine of justification, ,w hich was decisively Important for the Reformation," The issue of justifica,,
tion is traditionally s tated in terms of whether man is saved (justified) solely by divine grace and faith, or in virtue of his own merits. • There is "a basic, if s till incomplete, accord" on the understanding of the church.
CONSENSUS • Regarding the second part of the Augsbury Confession, which has been the source of "severe polemical" arguments in the past, the commission found "a broad c onsensus emerges of d octrine, although certain problems still require to be calrified." The theologians said that they found "profound accord" in their understanding of the Lord's Supper despite differences in emphasis, new mutual understanding on "monastic life in the Roman Catholic Church," and significant agreement on the office of bishop.
ESSENTIAL The Augsbury Confession "specifically affirms its desire to maintain the episcopal structure" and "affirms a ministry of unity and leadership — s et over the local ministers —as essential to t he church," the statement said.

That agreement by the group was signigicant because it provided an essential basis for significant discussion of the papacy, a Catholic ecumenical specialist in Rome said. A mong unresolved problems he said they still found in the discussion of the Augsburg Confession were: • It "does not adopt a position on the number of t he sacraments, the papacy, or on certain
aspects of the episcopal order and the church's teaching office." • It "naturally makes no mention of the dogmas which have only been promulgated since 1530: the primacy of jurisdiction and the infallibility of t he pope (1870); the gracious preservation of the Virgin Mary from original sin (1854)and her bodily assumption into heaven (1950)." "These questions will have to be considered in the future dialogue," the theologians said. They added, however, that agreement reached so far "gives good ground for the hope that...answers will also be forthcominng to the still unsettled questions and problems."
advertising ban WASHINGTON (NC) — The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), which has been considering for three years dropping its ban on the commercial advertising of contraceptives, has decided to fund two studies related to the issue.
The NAB board of directors has authorized spending $50,000 for a study of contemporary American sexual attitudes and up to $35,000 for a study of public attitudes toward personal care product advertising. Included among personal care products are contraceptives. N AB's president, Vincent T. Wasilewski, said the decision to have the studies made did not reflect a desire on the part of NAB members to run such advertising. The NAB is a trade association representing commercial radio and television broadcasters in the United States. Its radio and television code b oards periodically review the association's voluntary self-regulation guidelines.
director of the U.S. bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities, urged a select committee of the NAB's radio and television code boards to continue the ban on commercial advertising of contraceptives. A ccepting advertisements for contraceptives is "totally unacceptable," Msgr. McHugh said, because such ads • would increase the incidence of venereal disease; • would not be able to p resent "adequate scientific information" on contraceptives; • would be objectionable to parents of young children; • and would require the broadcasting industry to reach "some compromise solution or consensus theory upon the differing ethical convictions of

Limited Tenure
NEWMARK, N.J. (NC) — Newmark Archdiocese has permission from the Vatican to introduce limited tenure in future pastoral appointments. The dioceses of New York, Brooklyn, Chicago and Boston already participate in the experimental program which affects o nly pastors to be appointed in the future. Approval in the Newmark Archdiocese followed lengthy debate by its Senate of Priests concerning the merits of the program. Under the new program, a pastor would be appointed for an initial six-year term and, after evaluation, could be appointed for another six 1111., tre
The committee, under chairman John Doyle, is made up of two representatives from each of t wenty districts in the parish including country areas. One of the two representatives is co-ordinator for the area and will in turn appoint a contact person for each street in the district. The representatives' task is to oversee the visitation of homes, home Masses and to arrange home discussions or social evenings. Priests in the parish will be informed of arrivals or departures or when people are sick or in need of special care. The overall membership o f the committee is intended to offer the parish priest an advisory body through which parishioners will be able to voice their opinions. To assist parish activity, the century-old former convent of St. Joseph in Aberdeen Street, adja-
cent to the church, will be extensively renovated as a parish centre. The verandahs were extensively damaged during Cyclone Alby and $22,000 has been granted by the National Trust to restore the outside of the building while the parish will undertake extensive remodelling of the interior. Albany parish is now m ore than half way through a Renewal of Faith programme that is involving some 160 parishioners in 12 groups for the week programme. Father Barry Whitely, of Hamersley, was invited to Albany to contribute his experience to the launching of the programme. An original appeal for 70 to start the programme brought double that number of enrolments. Meetings are under the direction of Father Ian Johnston and his helpers Ray Grant, Tony Grosse and David Palfrey.
Priest, critic of $2,500 funerals shot NAPLES (NC) — An unknown gunman shot and wounded Father Raffaele Petrone, a leading opponent of high funeral costs funeral costs in private firms allegedly controlled by gangsters. The priest was shot in the leg outside his parish church in Naples. "They don't frighten me," he said after the attack. "I will not be stopped by t hese intimidating actions." Making money off the dead "is downright diabolical," he added. The 54-year old priest administers a group of
Catholic confraternities that provide inexpensive burial sites and funeral services as an alternative to private funeral homes. These private funeral homes are said to raise the price of the entire burial process by cornering the market on coffins, tombs and cemetery plots. The price of a coffin, a cemetery plot and funeral services can run up to about $2,500 at one of these private homes. Father Petrone opposed t hese practices in his sermons. He was returning from an organizational meeting of the confraternities when he was shot.

Varied opinions on celibacy in U.S.
In the U.S.A, another 'family' squabble in the Catholic community is about celibacy for priests.
Some think the Church's insistence on celibacy for priests should be relaxed; others prefer the 'status quo'. Pope John Paul spoke on celibacy in Rome on Holy Thursday last year and encouraged celibate priests to keep their commitment to God, to k eep their word, as husbands are meant to be faithful to their wives and wives to their husbands. Pope John Paul has temporarily halted the flow of laicizations of priests, while a commission is inquiring into the subject of priests' changing their way of life.
Some accuse the Pope of 'medieval' thinking, of Polish ignorance, forgetting that he has studied the question of sexuality and psychology and written books on the topic. One cynical and avowed agnostic accuses the vigorous Pope of 'senile' conservatism and then in true journalistic style gives him a lecture on the meaning of celibacy.
UNNATURAL It is 'unnatural', he says,
using that most abused word. It is `unnuatural', if you call the exclusive commitment of husband to wife unnatural; if you call keeping one's word, unnatural. 'It runs counter to the logic of commitment', we are told, for 'Christianity is total commitment to total love' and this priest now wants to marry this woman out of love. Let us use plain words. To be a Christian is to be committed to Christ, to throw in one's lot with Him and His community. If a Christian decides to commit himself more deeply to Christ as a celibate priest, he does so in faith, in trust, in love. If he then decides,(for love is also a decision,) to abandon his commitment to Christ and marry, it would seem to me that this is what runs counter to the logic of commitment, not his celibate loving.
No-one suggests that t here is an absolute necessity for a priest to be celibate. The Church has acknowledged and praised the married priesthood in the Eastern Church. All agree that celibacy for priests was introduced gradually into the western Catholic Church. But it was introduced and accepted and, many w ould say, it was a work of the Spirit. Now we are told that it is 'unnatural', according to the views of some modern psychologist, for whom genital intercourse is the test of what is 'natural'. Teresa of Calcutta, with her immense love of the needy, the dying, the sick, is, in this jaundiced view, unnatural, for she is a celibate. Celibacy, or virginity, as a Christian value, is, of course, much more than
abstention from sexual experience. Locking up a person in a solitary confinement cell or marooning him on a d esolate island can achieve abstention.
C hristian celibacy inevitably implies lovingness. It is commitment to love as Christ loved — giving rather than getting, ministering joy to the other rather than snatching at pleasure for oneself, serving rather than being served.
Father J.P. Kenny, S.J. continues "This sort of lovingness is so sublime, s o removed from our selfish preoccupations that it can never succeed except in a context of contemplation. "Only those living, through contemplation, in the loving companionship of the Lord are equipped for this style of loving. "Depth-contact with the Lord gives the fulfilment,. the security, the strength and the joy needed if one is to go out, in this purely selfless way, to everyone encountered, and if one is to make that the style of one's living through the public profession of virginity or celibacy."
Theft of valuable paintings TRENT, Italy (NC) — Thieves stole six 18thcentury paintings from San Martino Ad Arco Church in Trent. They left behind other valuable paintings and church furnishings, leading police to speculate that the robbery had been c ommissioned by a wealthy art collector.

Statue in wayside grotto at Bullsbrook installed
A congregation of 300 witnessed the blessing and installation of the statue of Our Lady of Revelation at Bullsbrook last Sunday.
kK BREAK
The statue was placed in a wayside grotto on land donated by the Lomabardo family. Clearly visible from the road, it is believed to be the first wayside grotto in Western Australia and later it is hoped to construct a larger shrine. The project has been undertaken by the Sacri A ssociation which was founded after the visit to Perth of Bruni Cornacchiola to whom Our Lady is reputed to have appeared at Tre Fontane outside Rome.
Father Geoff Aldous blessed the statue and celebrated Mass afterwards. Then followed a Rosary procession. The grotto has taken its cue from Blessed Maximilian Kolbe, the wartime martyr who with only a statue of Our Lady and a pedestal left the enterprise at the feet of Our Lady where today the city of Niepokalanow is a hive of spiritual activity. The grotto is made from r ocks gathered on the Lombardo property and is the handiwork of V.
Gift given by God to some; "vast number lovingly motivated" Mission appeals; The history of priestly celibacy reminds us that in the Church community, it grew slowly, but surely.
We find the Council of T rent praising both celibacy and marriage, Pius XII was critical of the opinion that "only marriage guarantees a natural development of the human person". But are all married.and c elibates called to holiness? Vatican 2 responded with a resounding 'Yes'. It added that God gives t o some the gift of celibacy that they may m ore easily devote themselves to the kingdom. T he nature of the priesthood, we are told, does not demand celibacy, but is is appropriate. Today there is a deeper understanding of marriage as a union, blessed by G od, in which each partner can sanctify the other and both praise God. But total maturity does not demand marriage and the family. Today there is a better appreciation of the body and today a positivevalue is attributed to sexual r elationship in self realization, development

and maturity. But continence can be creative and there are some men, dedicated to important tasks, which claim their full attention, who remain unmarried and say this is reasonable. (I remember a busy doctor saying to me: 'Doctors should be celibates' . . He had a wife and six beautiful children.)
What about motivation? In the early Church community, many felt the surge of God's grace so strongly that they 'had' to remain completely free for their apostolic work of building up the community. Today, my experience is that we still have a vast number. . the silent majority. . who are generously and lovingly motivated, to whom the words of Pope John Paul make sense. Of course, celibates can vary in life style, from a loving loneliness with Christ to a commitment of love of Christ, which includes some loneliness but perhaps even a highly i ndividual type of friendship with the other sex.

marr Prep y aring to Ste rilis atio Law on n call for repeal
RICHMOND, Virginia (NC) Calling for the repeal of a law under which thousands of patients in Virginia mental hospitals were sterilised b etween 1924 and 1972, Bishop Sullivan has called such s terilisation inhuman and related to abortion, conception outside the w omb and capital punishment.
In a pastoral letter, Bishop Sullivan said: "Public disclosure of over 8,300 sterilisations in Virginia's public mental institutions has shocked those who value human dignity and the inviolability of the human person. "Our society labelled the retarded, the mentally ill and those with behavioural problems as 'misfits.' "With this label, society justified itself in stripping a segment of the population of equal protection under the law. "The 'misfits' became objects for exploitation rather than persons in need of healing love."
SILENCE
Bishop Sullivan deplored the silence of public o fficials about the practice, the support of some of them for it and their deception of the persons sterilized. The sterilizations were c arried out on the mentally ill, mentally retarded, prostitutes and unwed mothers. Some of the more than 8,300 persons affected were sterilized without their knowledge. The State sterilization Program ended in 1972, but the law permittingit is still on the books. A Bill to repeal it has been introduced in the State Legislature, but the Bill would continue to Permit, with a judge's approval, the sterilization of individuals judged mentally incompetent. At the heart ot this Present atrocity," Bishop Sullivan said, "is the question: Should society legalize immoral or M.G. & D.E.

Father Espinal's corpse was found in the slum w here he had once worked in La Paz. His body showed signs of torture. Archbishop Jorge Manrique of La Paz, who condemned the murder said that those responsible for the priest's death were excommunicated.

They said they "have every right to demand ...a prompt investigation and verdict."

A Jesuit priest who attended the autopsy said that doctors found 17 bullet holes in the body and signs of what is called "barbarous torture." Father Espinal (48) came to Bolivia from Barcelona, Spain, in 1968. T wo years later he became a Bolivian citizen. As a specialist in audio-
visual aids he was active in educational work. In 1979, along with a group of writers, he founded the weekly opinion magazine "Aqui" (here). Its articles backed efforts to move the country from 15 years of military governments to civilian rule, which finally came last November. Its offices were destroyed early in February by a dynamite explosion, but no one was hurt. A uthorities did not make any arrests in connection with the attack.

It was interesting to note that eight of these men w ere bank officers or accountants. I smiled to think that, even in the 1900's, Jesus is still going to the money offices and calling "Levi" to follow him. Since 1942 He has called Fathers Peter McCrann, Tim Foster, Charles Tory, Pat Turner, Leon R ussell, Trevor Callaghan, Kevin Davis and Bryan Rosling.
CRUISE Last week on my day off Ientertained a fellow priest from Adelaide. We enjoyed a river cruise up the Swan to the vineyards. Our pilot and guide was very knowledgable about all the historic and points of interest along our foreshore. He pointed out the lovely gardens at St. Anne's Hospital and alerted the wine sipping travellers that liver and kidney ailments could be cured at St. John's, Belmont, run by Catholic nuns. As we sailed under the

"Pray don't find fault with the man who limps Or stumbles along the road, Unless you have worn the shoes he wears, Or struggled beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt, Though hidden away from view, Or the burden he bears, placed on your back, M ight cause you to stumble, too.
Don't sneer at the man who's down to-day, Unless you have felt the blow That caused his fall or felt the shame That only the fallen know. You may be strong, but still the blows That were his, if dealt to you In the selfsame way at the selfsame time M ight cause you to stagger, too.

Last Sunday afternoon the leaders of the YCW movement and their friends met Fr. Jegorow at Perry Lakes at 4 p.m. - "the hour of the challenge," one bystander was heard to remark." Three weeks previously Mark Georke boasted that he could thrash Fr. Jegorow over a two-mile run, even on a handicap of up to 600 metres. Only two YCW youth defeated Fr. Jegorow over the two mile course - Peter Shooter, YCW president, and Mark Goerke, Subiaco YCW, and Fr. Jegorow came a close third. "Fr. Jegorow was fitter than we thought", said
Peter Shooter. "The sixth lap was the killer and if it had not been for Sally Stokes who urged me onI would have conked out," he said. "Full credit to my coach, Graham Knight, and my daily dose of porridge," he added. An added aim was to raise money for the movement. Fr. Jegorow said "I will be a lot fitter next time after several months of
training."

Salvado, a pastor to Aborigines
Bishop Salvado of New Norcia is a great favourite w ith Western Australians.
O nly recently his memoirs appeared in English and they quickly went through a first edition. Now, for the first time, we have a full biography of this remarkable man. Whereas the memoirs only told the story of the very early days of New Norcia mission, between 1846-49, the biography ranges from his birth in 1814 to his death in Rome in 1900.
A review by P. MORRISEY of "Lord Abbot of the Wilderness" (Life & Times of Bishop Salvado) by George Russo. Polding Press, Melbourne. (Distributed by Pax Dist. P.O. Box 127, Tuart Hill, WA Bound: $18.95; soft $12.50).
TRUE STORY S alvado and his companion, Serra, came to W.A. in 1846 and went into the wilderness to live among its inhabitants, the Aborigines. And Salvado stayed there all his life. He lived with the Aborigines, ate their unappetitizing food, slept on the bare earth, carried native children on his shoulders to Perth, and performed many w ondrous things to delight future West Australians. Legends and stories have sprung up about his life in this strange environment, but the true story is told in the biography.
AUTONOMY In 1859, he procured the full autonomy of New Norcia, and in 1867 was made Abbot for life, with the monastery status of Abbey Nullius, having its o wn territory with jurisdiction over the scattered population to w hich the monks ministered. A n organizer and administrator of the highest ability, he built up without any preceding m odel a monastic community comparable to those of Europe. A borigines came in hundreds to be his tenants. He erected cottages to house their families, dormitories and schools for children, workshops for teaching crafts and trades.
SMALL 9 TOUGH We get an historical account of the Church in W A and something about the life and habits of Aboriginal tribes now extinct. And we get the life and deeds of Bishop Salvado. In person, Salvado was not distinguished looking. He was hardy and tough like many of his native Galicians, but rather small in stature. His portraits show his big bony shoulders, large determined eyes, and long thoughtful brow. He had the introspection and shrewd intelligence that characterized his race. He performed well at the monstery in Compostela, and later, after the revolution closed the monastery, at Cava in Italy.
TENACITY A bove all, he was artistic, being a first-class musician and organist. In his dress in the bush he wore dungarees, a jacket with a cross stuck in the belt, and a widebrimmed hat much like the bush "cocky" of today. In the monastery, S alvado wore the familiar habit of the black monks. Salvado's outstanding trait was his tenacity. He had a missionary dream in his youth and no one was going to stand in the way of it. Thus when Bishop Brady tried to manoe-
time when all religious houses were closed. In fact, he was well on the way to restoring the Benedictines in Spain when he was recalled. At home, he used his influence with Governors, especially Governor Weld, to win c oncessions for the Aborigines under his care. Salvado also recognized t he economic and political importance of the sheep industry. He built up one of the largest pastoral enterprises in the State. Neikhbouring farmers came to New Norcia to use its facilities. He also pioneered new crops and introduced methods from Spain.
DEEP LOVE West Australian Benedictine hero Bishop Rosendo SAL VA DO uvre him from the mission at New Norcia, and the Roman Curia delayed him in Rome, he quickly showed his indignation. Something he loved was threatened. He quickly appeared before Pope Pius IX, and when the Pope suggested that perhaps God did not want him at New Norcia, he replied: "It's men, not God, who do not want me there". It was during this enforced stay in Rome t hat he wrote his Memoirs.

POLITICS? Salvado was not given t o controversy, being active and inclined to get down to the work in hand. But he did engage in it when his mission, or the welfare of the Aborigines, was in peril. H e stood up to churchmen and statesmen. He does not seem to have had any clear p olitical principles though he does refer to the political situation in correspondence. He was driven out of Spain by the Liberal Revolution and lived in
Bishop SALVADO dressed for trekking in the bush.
Aborigines from New Norcia learned technical and farming skills that they never got anywhere else in Australia, and. Salvado set the course for Welfare work in years to come. Salvado loved Aborigines deeply. He loved to gather round the camp-fire and talk. By joking and giving his full attention to their interests and enthusiasms he won their confidence, and endeared himself to them. Their light-heartedness and easy going-off he m ade part of his programme for them. A s he grew older Salvado loved to talk about these days with the Aborigines. When Salvado died in Rome in 1900 the Chief Protector of Aborigines d eclared that the 'Aborigines had lost the best friend they ever had'. So this is the man the book is about. It is meticulously researched, both here and abroad, and well' written. It is also well-presented, with historical photographs, lithographs and maps. It could adorn any library, private or public. P. MORRISSEY.

Many roads towards "a LETTERS from READERS Daybreak and role loving of laity union"
Let us be a little more positive about c elibate loving.
Human sexuality is for all the source of a person's most fundamental characteristics and leads to personal maturity. This applies also to the unmarried. One writer at Berkeley put it this way. In marriage, love should be selfliberating and other enriching. It should be. h onest and socially r esponsible. In heterosexual celibate friendships, love should also be self-liberating. The person should be freed from a low self image; freed also from macho display and male chauvinism; and freed from a negative attitude to the body and towards sexuality. Love should also enrich the other.
If it is a question of a two-celibates friend ship, each must appreciate the possibility of separation. If a non-celibate is involved, the dedication and commitment of the celibate must be appreciated. The love in this friendship must be honest, not a marital or quasi-marital relationship.
HONESTY C ommitment to Christ and His mission must c ome first in harmony with the vowed life. Finally it must be socially responsible, that is, the friendship is not to be exclusive nor unique. This love is to be joyous and faithful; to be lifeserving and life-giving, in a non-genital way, for e xample, by encouraging O thers' charism, talents and so on. We must remember that the marriage covenant does not exhaust all the Possibilities of human life and human sexuality.
CHOICE While we humans are c alled into a 'loving union' with God, others and ourselves, the simple anthropological fact is that there are so many available ways of living cut God's covenant that rlone of us can actualize all the loving possibilities God opens up to us. We make a choice. So we r enounce some other good. There is the basis of a sceticism. A ffective relationships are a part of the spiritual lIfe of every celibate, yet in harmony t o God. with their vows This union, experience of the highest possib.le interpersonal expenence, is a foretaste of heaven. A Francis de Sales or a
could write on this. It seems to me that such celibate friendships are self-liberating and otherenriching; also honest and socially responsible. It seems naive to call them unnatural, simply b ecause there is an absence of the genital in t heir expressions of friendship. For married people, the genital way is the appropriate way to express their love. It is not the appropriate way for celibates, who e xpress their affective relationships in other appropriate ways. I well remember Father Parisi, of the E.A.P.I stressing how fortunate w ere those celibates, whose apostolate involved many social contacts. He named the teachers, the nurses in hospitals, the parish clergy, all of whom were relating to o thers continually all their lives.
CONTACTS Of course, it is possible, for one reason or another, for a celibate priest to be overly influenced by a J ansenistic training, which would tend to limit his relating to others or to be given an office job, which would diminish his contacts with others. This has occured and it is on to instances like this that journalists latch to 'blow up' their attack on the celibacy of the clergy. The critic takes us up. We are willing to admit that celibacy has been accepted by the western Church. W e admit also that celibate friendships have a place in the scheme of things - though it is not easy to understand how quickly they become immoderate and change into married relationships.
EAST - WEST
"What we say is that in the present cultural climate, where personal growth and inter-personal relationships are treasured, the Catholic priesthood will dwindle and die out, unless the West follows the East and introduces a married clergy". What the critic is saying is that a change in the Western Church's discipline will bring about an increase in the number of men, who want to commit themselves to Christ and serve the Church community. With all fairness, we might ask if permission to marry has brought to the Eastern Church proportionate numbers of such dedicated men. Have we yet been able to pinpoint the real reasons for the decrease in priestly vocations? Some have suggested a w eakening of belief, especially in Catholic
r
Father James DY — NON Si. of St. Thomas More College, has been overseas recently. He reflects here on e xperiences in the United States. generosity in today's pleasure hungry society. Some look to deeper psychological causes. Our critic says it is the demands of celibacy. Would a 'married' priest campaign really give to the Church community in this age of unbelief the band of believing and generous priestly ministers, on which the Catholic community can build its works of unselfish charity? It might. But it might give the community more priests without asking of them a commitment, by which they can 'more easily' serve the people of the kingdom.
together in an indiscriminate way and to hope for the best or to naively expect a mature relationship to follow is unwise and celibate friendships can become immoderate, as our critic suggests. To bring about moderation in such relationships, without returning to the physical separation of the past, is the challenge.
Sir, "Jesus you are my God, my all." Christian prayer.
Charitable comment is to be commended when discussing the social sacraments. Any person in the full knowledge of "freedom of choice" who enters the
religious lfie or seminary would expect the prayers and support of their parish. In a troubled nuclear w orld the laity needs more identity, a consecration of their role.
Married• Pastoral care of women in workforce divorced, remarried Sir, A ustralia's national crime is unemployment. Statistics show that the biggest single factor giving occasion to this evil is married women in the work force. Reference is made only to the greedy not the needy. As a class, married women presently occupy at least 500,000 jobs to the exclusion of those persons in need, particularly youth. This latter figure must be c ompared with the 400,000 persons registered for unemployment (ironically including married women). It w ould not be difficult to show the side -effect c orruption that unemployment engenders in society and indeed most worthwhile people realise the truth. All those having the duty and power to g overn have failed genuine Australians because they have the evidence but lack the fortitude to act. C.F.G. FERGUSSON Lesmurdie
Sir, At the next World Synod, one of the topics that will be discussed is the pastoral care of divorced Catholics who have remarried civilly
Even before the synod's beginning, the pope has already reaffirmed the present attitude of the Church when he stated: "We cannot forget the pastoral solicitude which t he different cases r equire.. . 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 Record March 6). To me, this conditioned pastoral care is contradictory to Jesus' unconditional care for people. I simply cannot see Jesus inviting someone to his home (the Church) and not to his table (communion). It isn't for no reason
that we say before communion, "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed." If we are all unworthy from the human point of view, yet made worthy because of Jesus' love and forgiveness for us, then why the discrimination? J.M. LENOIR Gosnells.
It is difficult to have a s ecular job and do v olunteer church work because both practical and spiritual development are threatened. A realization as where the Christian can function as such and the need for contemplation to seek the presence of God is important for formation in the Christian life. The people of the 1980's are living in a "dispose of" society; relationships are thrown out on a whim, children are lonely and hurt, and everyone needs love, all need Jesus the constant, caring healer. This is where many Christians could minister in a devout consecration of themselves to the Risen Lord. An up-dated study of the e arly Church could unleash a flame and give rise to the Spirit always in our midst. God Bless Daybreak, ANNE BEACH Woodlands

RECORD CLASSIFIED! God's grace and man's generosity can lift man to genuine unselfish love. At times, he needs the challenge. Just as down through its history the Church community has needed to be challenged to greater generosity. W e remember these times of greater generosity in the Church when the love of Christ was the focal point of the lives of so many in the community, so only of priests but also of mothers and fathers, who gave to their. s ons and daughters a loving appreciaiton of God and a desire to serve Him generously. Teresa of Calcutta is in this tradition and it is to this tradition that Pope John Paul is appealing, rather than to our critic's short sighted solution. We might add also that in the past the attitude of fear towards the other sex, or ,at least, of regarding the other sex as a source of temptation, prevented maturity and good apostolic team work. Many, seeing this, have endeavoured to improve the inter-sex relationship of celibates, perhaps at times acting too hastily and in a too superficial manner.

Brentwood's strong grip Trinity win the Darlot Cup for on A Grade pennant second time
With only one round of matches left to play, Brentwood appear to be certain winners in the A Grade section of the night pennants competition of the West Australian Catholic Lawn Tennis Association. Brentwood are two points clear of their nearest rival, Queens Park (1) and have a better percentage. Both Brentwood and Queens Park (1) are drawn against teams that should not trouble them in the last matches. St. Mary's (1) who hold third place with eight points in hand, will not be troubled to maintain their positi0n. T he battle for the "wooden spoon" should be decided on percentages as Dianella, St. Mary's (2) and Queens Park (2) are locked together on four
points and all face defeats from the top three teams. The B Grade, however, is a different story. St. Benedicts (1) hold a slim two-point lead over their club mates, St. Benedicts (2). However, St. Benedicts (2) have the superior percentage. Dianella are two points further back in third place. They would need something of a miracle to get up to win from here, but with five rounds left to play anything could happen.
RESULTS " A" GRADE: St. Mary's (1), 5 sets - 34 games d. Queens Park (2), 1-18; Brentwood, 6-36 d.

In a task which at times can be thoroughly thankless he, with his coselectors, Alan Edwards and Hugh Bevan, has been dedicated and hardworking, on occasion in the face of heavy public criticism, which seems to b e the lot of most selectors. S awle served W.A. cricket also as a player. A left-hand batsman of enormous patience and concentration, he was an opener for the State team and gained considerable success as a pennant player. He will be replaced on the panel by Gordon Becker, in his day the State wicket -keeper who also won a place in the Australian team. * * *

Trinity College has won this season's Darlot Cup, the trophy presented to the winning team in the Public Schools Association 1st Eleven cricket competition.
Though the team's only loss for the season was to the second place-getters Hale, Trinity had many anxious moments in the match against Aquinas which saw the last seven Aquinas wickets fall for 13 runs, resulting in an exciting tie - 139 runs apiece. In commenting on the reasons for the team's success the captain, Mark Sawle, said: "Our attack was the key. "Most opposition teams had the batting strength to match us, but our bowlers often proved more penetrating. "The quality of our fielding and the fine team morale were other factors c ontributing to our
success." The attack was led by the fast bowlers Clinton Pike and David O'Connell and leftarm seamer Mark Lukan, who won the team's bowling trophy by securing 29 wickets at an average cost of 6.3 runs. Mark completed a fine double by also heading the batting averages, and the distinction of scoring a century in the match against Wesley. Another century-maker was Paul Bradbury, who scored 108 against Guildford Grammar School. This is the second time that Trinity has won the Darlot Cup since entering the competition in 1969, the previous success being in 1975.
RACE TALK By ROD EVANS LADY PROVIDENCE gave further proof that she is the best two-yearold filly in W.A. when a convincing winner of the Ashburton Handicap for two-year-olds on Saturday. After having the run of the race behind the speedy Miss Dantan, LADY PROVIDENCE bounded clear in the straight to win by four lengths and thus graduate to open company. TIKI LAND indicated that he is close to his best with a good third to Oaks hopeful Jazz Singer. A fter being well back on the turn, TIKI LAND ran on very strongly in the straight and is one to follow when City racing
SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL continues to show great improvement and just failed to bring up his third win from three starts this preparation when s econd to the classy Elorance on Saturday. Although drifting wide in the straight, SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL failed by only a half length to gain the major prize and is sure to win a similar race in the very near future. SMART FOX put the writing on the wall for an early City win when he streaked away for a six length victory in the last at Pinjarra last Wednesday week. Trainer Brian Cronin has got this four-year-old Tudor Warning galloper r acing brilliantly and more wins are just around the corner for SMART
