Chastity, celibacy in today's life • By DOM FRANCIS, O.S.B. NEW NORCIA: A heavily sexualised world will never be converted unless our lives of chastity are truly lived, a major symposium was told at New Norcia last week. Salesian priest, Dr. Francis Moloney, from Melbourne, said that only in this way could Christians make the world wonder if it had not somehow gone wrong. "We will never convert the world by merely talking about chastity in a negative way which was the case before Vatican 1 1," Dr. Moloney said. The symposium on "Contemporary Spirituality" was held to mark 1500th birth of the founder of the founder of Western monasticism, St. Benedict. More than 120 people —priests, nuns, Brothers, laity and the local Benedictine community — a ttended from many parts of Australia.

A $66,365 extensive refit of the former Hay Street premises of The Record and Vanguard Press will provide a comprehensive city centre for the Cathedral parish and the archdiocese of Perth. The 800-square-metre former factory floor will be divided into: • A craft room and activity area for senior citizens with adjacent morning tea rooms and kitchen. • A theatre hall and stage to accommodate 100 people. • A meeting room for 110 people. • Six small meeting rooms. • A rehearsal room for St. Mary's Cathedral choir and a room for folk singers. In 1922 The Record moved from central Murray Street to the small building that was the Hay Street garage for Archbishop Clune's car. The building remained virtually unchanged until 1960 when extensions were built on the eastern side and later on the western side to accommodate the expanding printing operation.

noted scripture scholar, examined the traditional texts relating to celibacy. "A very important consequence of a re-reading of our traditional texts is that it gives the celibate every right to his place in society alongside all classes of men and women, married and unmarried," he added. "No longer can the celibate be regarded as deprived, deformed or in some way 'strange'. "No longer is the life of chastity a 'stiff-upper lip' and a 'gritting your teeth' business." (CONTINUED P.4)

Like Jesus, we are chaste because of the overwhelming presence of God's kingdom which "keeps crowding in on us." "In other words, our ongoing decision for chastity is intelligible as a decision which comes about within the context of a major religious experience, just as the decision for marriage comes about within the context of a similar experience," he said.

SYDNEY: "The existence of children is more in question than the existence of schools", Mr. Kim Beazley, former Minister for Education, told a Catholic secondary school principals' meeting at Kincumber. Mr Beazley pointed out that in a society where mothers in large numbers were willing to "kill their own unborn children", it was more than ever crucial that education should represent the child, born and unborn, "in its penultimate dignity as a temple of the Holy Spirit." "There will be 1,200,000 fewer children and young people than there would have been if they had not been disposed of as yet unborn in the clinics," he said. At the rate of 100,000 abortions annually, Australians were killing off their young in a manner which would have shattering consequences on the nation as a whole, Mr Beazley said. "Russian action in Afghanistan, considered as a possible threat to Australian security is peanuts

compared to this actual threat." he added. "Among other consequences, however, must be a decline in the demand for education. "It must also mean a decline in the economy because the economic demands created by the existence of children and young people are important. "Children are expensive, and therefore killed. "They are killed when our savings are at fabulous record levels, but the recession continues." (SEE ALSO P.11)

ORIGIN

"The pope preached about the values of Christian marriage and family life. He referred to the biblical account of Adam and Eve and defended monogamy. He said that it is not of Western but of Semitic origin and appears as the expression of that interpersonal relationship in which each of the partners is recognised by the other as equal in value. -This monogaous and personalist conception of the human couple is an absolutely revelation that bears the mark of God and deserves to be ever deepened," he added. The pope highly praised other African marriage and family values. "The African traditions, used judiciously can have their place in the building of Christian homes in Africa; I am thinking especially of all the positive values of a sense of family, anchored in the

and children. "The law of solidarity among families who have made an alliance, which is exercised especially in favour of the elderly widows and orphans, a kind of coresponsibility in taking care of the education of children that can readily lessen psychological tensions and the cult of ancestors, which promotes fidelity to traditions." Speaking about marital fidelity, the pope asked: "Has it not occurred to you to compare the modern family to a dugout travelling along the river, pursuing its course through turbulent waters and obstacles? "You know as well as I do how much the notions of fidelity and indissolubility are put under fire by public opinion."

Promotion move by family planners WINDSOR, (NC) — Natural family planning directors in New England have formed an o rganization to promote the Catholic teaching on marriage, the family and sexuality contained in the documents of the Second V atican Council and Pope Paul VI's encyclical, "Humanae Vitae" (On Human Life). Called Humanae Vitae R enewal (HVR), the organization is open to all married and engaged couples, youths, religious and government leaders, health, r esearch and educational professionals and anyone else committed to its views. Marshall Fightlin, a marriage and family counsellor who is president of the organization, said that it would emphasize the sacramental dimension of marriage, seek to bring about a deeper understanding of the meaning and implications of Christian love, and s tress the links between marriage, sexuality and fertility. "The `hinge' virtue of s exual self-mastery needs to be presented t o the young and the not-so-young as a positive, life-enchancing strength," Fightlin said. Humanae Vitae Renewal is at 45 Union St., Windsor, Vt. 05089.

Beautiful Song Never has anyone sung so beautifully of the splendor of human love as in the first pages of the Bible: "This one, says Adam in contemplating his wife, is flesh of my flesh, bones of my bones. That is why man will leave his father and mother and cling to his wife and they shall be but one flesh" (Gen. 2,23-24). Paraphrasing Pope St. Leo,Icannot help saying to you: "Oh Christian spouses, recognize your eminent dignity!" The sources reveal to us that the first couple, in the plan of God, is monogamous. Here is something to surprise us again, when civilization — at the time when the biblical accounts were written — was generally far from this cultural model. This monogamy, which is not of Western, but Semitic origin, appears as the expression of the inter-personal relationship in which each of the partners is recognized by the other as of equal value and in the totality of his or her person. This monogamous and personalistic concept of the human person is an absolutely original revelation, which bears the mark of God.

Sin and God's love But this history which began so well in the luminous dawn of the human race knew the drama of the rupture between the newly created couple and the creator. That is original sin. Nevertheless this rupture will be the occasion for a new manifestation of the love of god. Repeated alliances will culminate in the definitive alliance which God sealed in his own Son, sacrificing himself freely for the church and for the world. St. Paul is not afraid to present this alliance of Christ with the church as the symbol and model of every alliance between man and woman united as spouses in an indissoluble manner. Conforming themselves to Christ who delivered himself through love to his church spouses arrive, day after day, at the love of which the Gospel speaks to us: "Love one another, as I have loved you," and more precisely at the perfection of indissoluble union on all levels The Christian spouses have made the promise to communicate to one another all that they are and all that they have. It is the boldest contract ever, and also the most marvellous!

Union of love The union of their bodies, willed by God himself as the profound expression of the communion of their minds and their hearts, carried out with as much respect as tenderness, renews the dynamism and the youth of their solemn commitment, of their first "yes." The union of their characters: to love a being, is to love him as he is,it is to love to the point of cultivating in oneself the antidote of his weaknesses or of his defects, for example calmness and patience if the other is plainly lacking them. Union of hearts! The nuances which differentiate the love of man from that of woman are innumberable. Each of the partners can only demand to be loved as he loves. And it requires — on one side and the other — renouncing the secret reproaches which separ-

ate hearts and of freeing oneself of this pain at the most favorable moment. A truly unifying sharing is of the joys and still more of the sufferings of the heart. But it is likewise in the common love of children that the union of hearts is strengthened. The union of minds and wills! The spouses are also two strengths that are different but linked for their mutual service, the service of their home, of their social environment, of God. Agreement must be shown in the pursuit of common objectives. The most energetic partner must back up the will of the other, supplement it sometimes, become adroitly, educationally, its lever.

Place for God Finally the union of souls, themselves united to God! Each of the spouses must reserve to himself or herself moments of solitude with God, of "heart to heart" when the spouse is not the first concern. This indispensable personal life of the soul with God is far from excluding the sharing of the whole conjugal and family life. On the contrary it stimulates the Christian spouses to seek God together, to discover together his will and to accomplish it concretely with the lights and engergies drawn from God himself. Christian marriage is also called to be a leaven of moral progress for society. Doesn't it often occur to you to compare the modern family to a canoe which floats on the river and pursues its course amid troubled waters and obstacles? You know as well asIdo how much the notions of fidelity and indissolubility are disparaged by opinion. You know also that the fragility andbreak-up of families gives rise to a string of miseries. Christian homes have to work without discouragement for the restoration of the family which is the first cell of society and must remain a school of social virtues. The state must not fear such homes but must protect them.

Sign to world

As a leaven of society, the Christian family is a presence, an epiphany of God in the world. The Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World contains luminous pages on the shining forth of this "profound community of life and love" which is at the same time the very first basic church community. "The Christian family, because it is the issue of a marriage, image and participation of the alliance of love which unites Christ and the church, will show to all men the livingpresence of the saviour in the worldand the true nature of the church, as much by the love of the spouses as by the loving cooperation of all its members." What a dignity and what a responsibility! Yes, this sacrament is great! And let the spouses be confident: their faith assures them that they receive, with this sacrament, the strength of God, a grace which accompanies them throughout their life. Let them never neglect to draw upon this gushing fountain which is within them!

NATIONAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE

Govt aid: Interference possible: An expert

C ANBERRA: One hundred per cent government financial subsidy for Australian Catholic schools could lead to greater government interference, according to a leading D utch Catholic educationist.

Mr. L.A. Struik, Secretary-General of the Dutch National Council for Catholic Education, was speaking in Canberra He was the main overseas speaker for the second National Catholic Education Conference, which was held at John XXIII and Ursula Colleges at the Australian National University. Mr Struik said that Catholic schools in Holland had a history of financial equality for all private and public schools back to 1920.

FREEDOM

The Dutch constitution acknowledges the freedom of education, existing in freedom of

• The direction of policy. • Organisation. • Establishing new schools. "However, government concern with education had been growing since 1960," Mr. Struik said. The Catholic school and Catholic education in the Netherlands had great support in that 38 per cent of all Dutch students went to Catholic schools.

"The schools and the system are still wellorganised," he said. "But they are under pressure in more than one way, both as a form of private education, and with regard to content as Catholic education. "If the regulating interference of the government keeps extending, then a further limitation of the freedom of education is to be feared as a result of the increasing social pressure.

UNIFORM? "There will be a strong inclination to diminish the difference between public and private education. "There will be an inclination to one national and uniform school system which allows better cost-

control and better regulation of planning." Mr Struik said that the Dutch experience could be applied to the Australian situation. "Dutch legislators have respected very accurately the freedom of denominational direction with regard to hours for religious instruction, and the financing of this," he said. "Also, the planning of schools has not given problems. "But the constitutional freedom of internal organisation of private e ducation is under discussion. "Within the framework of an 'active' and `constructive' educational policy, the government has the tendency to interfere with private education, and to regulate it in a too detailed manner.

"Constitutionally, the freedom of choice of educational material and of teacher appointments is respected. "But there is a growing tendency to national educational plans, modelcurricula, and the legal imposition of worker and parent participation — not only within the school but also at executive level." Mr Struik said that parents were sometimes asked for small contributions to cover expenses not covered by the government subsidy.

WEAKER "However, in size and intention these contributions do not constitute a real moral support," he said. "The 100 per cent subsidy from public funds has strengthened the awareness of parents that Catholic schools are available free and open to their children. "But it has weakened the mentality of effort and sacrifice on behalf of Catholic schools."

Among the dignitaries sayingfarewell to the governor Sir Wallace KYLE at Fremantle last week were seen Anglican and Catholic Archbishops of Perth, Archbishop GOODY (right), about to greet the governor, and Archbishop SAMBELL (centre). At left is the Lord Mayor, Mr Fred CHANEYand Mrs. CHANEY.

Low percentage of Religious on teaching staffs

School one part but not focal point of a Christian community

CANBERRA: Nationally, less than 15 per cent of Catholic primary school staff and less than 20 per cent in secondary schools are Religious, the second National Catholic Education Conference was told.

CANBERRA: The early institutional model of the Australian Catholic school has given way to a community-oriented system during the 1970s, Mercy Sister Anne McLay, of Queensland, told the second National Catholic Education Conference in Canberra recently. Sister Anne said that this new thinking was proposed as a model for Catholic schools in the 1980s. "The quality of commitment at the grassroots is the basic factor upon which our Catholic

school of the 1980s will rise or fall," she said. "Today we need a reintegration of the educational sector, and above all the Catholic school, into the Church."

CHALLENGE Sister Anne said that Catholics needed to work at forming local Christian communities, of which t he Catholic school would be one part, rather than the focal point, of the effort. "Australian Catholics rose to the challenge in the last century," she said. "The long-enduring traditional model of the Catholic school was the result. "Can we accept that the challenge of our day is just as great but different?"

AN "IDEAL" The Queensland Catholic Education Office had developed a study, Project Catholic School, which established a profile of an "ideal school." "The Catholic school of the future has a unique contribution to make within the Australian pluralist system of education," Sr. Anne said. "The religious atmosphere of the school will depend on the presence of committed Christian staff

and on the faith and values of the parents and students.

AT HOME "In this new, evolving m odel the bishop's authority is still final, but less authoritarian. "The model requires participation. "Parents now are generally better-educated and more articulate, and our profile of the Catholic school of the future recognises their decisive role. "It also recognises that values at home should closely relate to values taught at school."

Mr. Vin Falkner, planning officer of the Victorian Catholic Education Office, told the Canberra meeting that there had been a dramatic change in the staffing of Catholic schools since 1972. 1972 was the date of the First National Catholic Education Conference. "It's a trend that began well before 1972," he said. "For example, Religious dropped from 51 per cent of staff in Melbourne parish primary schools in 1963, to 31 per cent in 1971.

GOVT. FUNDS "It seems that the brunt of the change has been borne initially by the metropolitan areas. "This change partly coincided with the serious advent of the Federal Government into funding, which allowed schools to employ more

teachers. "As a result, large numbers of teachers were willing to join Catholic schools at a time when we needed them badly," he said. "The largest group of these new teachers since the early 1970s is in a comparatively young agegroup: 25 to 35. "There is a higher proportion of lay people in this group than in any other in the Catholic system, and a higher proportion of non-Catholics. "They need training for Religious Education. "These teachers have a and a right huge need to better in-service training to give them background to the Catholic system.

Mr. Faulkner said that the increased percentage of lay staff had taken the pressure off members of religious orders, allowing them to up-grade their professional qualificactions. "This means we have a good 'reservoir of welltrained Religious, who would be fully capable of carrying out the sorts of in-service training I have been recommending," Mr. Faulkner said.

CHASTITY (from p.1) "Where we stand as celibates flows out of exactly the same sort of experience which led that man to marry that woman: the

overwhelming presence of a kingdom of love." The celibate learnt from married couples that God's love was revealed

through the affective life of his creatures, while those married could see from the life of the celibate that the source of this love ultimately transcended what their limited human affection could demonstrate, Dr. Moloney said. There was prolonged applause after the talk had finished.

FAMED NUN Alongside Dr. Moloney on the platform was enclosed English Benedictine nun, Dame Maria Boulding, from the famous Stanbrook Abbey at Worcester. The petite, brown-eyed 5 1-year-old nun could just barely be seen behind the microphone during her first talk.

Dame Maria spoke of monasteries co-operating more with one another and sharing ideas. Monastic isolation was the scourge of many forms of monasticism in the past, she said. Community life was also coming under the microscope more and more, she added. People entering religious houses were seeking an "authentic community." "We have got to make it and create it by the way we live," Dame Maria said.

CAREER She entered Stanbrook Abbey at the age of 18 and has been novice mistress for nine years and junior mistress for two years. She is a member of the English Benedictine Theological Commission which produced the popular book "Consider Your Call".

Businessmen throughout the area have been approached to help with a major overhaul of what has been popularly known as the St. Pat's Soup Kitchen.

You find these with the Puerto Ricans in the East, the Mexicanos in California and the blacks or Afro-Americans, wherever they are. Perhaps an instance will explain things as they are. The sewer main is damaged by a passing truck and the spill-out is seeping into nearby property. The white American rings up the supervisor, who promptly gets the damage repaired. But his answer to the black Aro-American is one of delay and "backof-my-hand" treatment.

METHOD

TRAINED

So the sewerage or the burst water main seeps into the houses and the black neighbourhood becomes unlivable. Seeing this situation and urged to help their brothers in need by the law of Christ, a small group of Jesuits, trained in Chicago, have counselled the blacks to present their petition to the supervisor w ith expertise and persistence. Four years of hard work in Fruitvale have produced startling results, which the daily papers are now recognising and supporting. At Santa Ana, I found similar counselling going on and also at San Diego. In two other -places, it is also succeeding and will,I

To spell out the method of approach. Remember that the supervisor of the country or of the city is very influential, yet he lives in a democracy and needs the v otes to retain his position. A fter a change in governments, many positions are given to the supporters of the incoming party, which makes all the petty officials of the U.S.A. very interested in elections. When the well-organised and directed blacks approach the supervisor, his first reaction is to delay assistance.

PERSIST Then they persist and he again refuses help. Then they go to his home and he orders them off the premises. They obey politely, but the neighbours' windows and doors are opening to see what the delegation is all about. Politely, but clearly, they are told that a broken sewer is ratinfesting the neighbourhood and the supervisor w ont help. The supervisor sees that he's beaten, and the sewer is mended. It is

U.S. bishops'plan to fix some holy days in middle of week. CHICAGO: The United States bishops may fix certain holy days of obligation permanently in the middle of a week, the national meeting of bishops was told here. Archbishop Weakland said that the bishops' Liturgy Committee, which he heads, had approved a resolution dealing with the problem of holy days of obligation which fall back to back with the Sunday Mass obligation. Several bishops in recent years have asked that something be done about the confusion that develops when a holy day falls on a Saturday or a Monday, possibly by permanently fixing some holy days in the middle of the week. Archbishop Weakland said that the proposed resoution, which may be voted on by the bishops at their next meeting in November, would not be released to the Press until all the bishops received it later this month. Archbishop Weakland also told the bishops that

they may get another chance to vote on the question of "sexist" language in the liturgy. He said that the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) has proposed four newly revised eucharistic prayers to deal with one part of the language problem. Those proposed new prayers, he said, might be part of the bishops' agenda when they met again in November. L ast November, a majority of bishops voted to drop sexist references in the liturgy, but the motion failed because it needed two-thirds approval for passage. Some bishops objected then to a unilateral decision in the United States to drop the sexist pronouns without waiting for liturgical tevisions being developed by ICEL.

Jesuit gaoled ROME (NC)—Rumanian Jesuit Father Michael Godo was sentenced in March to six years in prison, Jesuit headquarters in Rome said. The Jesuits said that the 67-year-old priest was charged with "illicit financial dealings" concerning money he collected for the building a new church. Father Godo, who is in poor health, was also imprisoned for 10 years by the Rumanian communist government after World War II. Before his new imprisonment he was the only one of 10 Jesuits still in R umania who had government permission to engage in pastoral work.

SHARING is an important aspect of Mission A wareness. Recently, while visiting a school, Iasked the children, "What do we share?" One bright young boy answered, "We share are faith, our love, our friendship." Iwas pleased with his answer, because these spiritual qualities are more important than purely material things. Spiritual sharing implies higher motives. Sharing is also a two-way experience. It means giving and receiving. To share our love, for example, means to give freely of our love and to receive love in return. God is generous with his love for us. May we be equally as generous in our love for God and his people. Father PAT AHERN. * * * Some 5000 Ugandan pilgrims plan to visit Rome and the Holy Land following the official consecration of the Uganda Martyrs Church in Rome, on April 26. It was not possible for all the pilgrims to be in Rome on that day so plans have been made for other pilgrims to go during the subsequent months and pray in the newly-consecrated church. It is expected that of the 5000 pilgrims, 4000 will be Catholics, 1000 will be other christians and 100 muslims. The Uganda Martyrs Minor Seminary has been opened for the Jinja Diocese in Uganda. The opening of the seminary is the realization of a long-felt dream. The Uganda Martyrs have been chosen as patrons of the seminary because of their example of courage -an example to the young seminarians who are to leave everything in order to serve Chrsit.

Youths in me lco Better papal we Lithuania defy the Russians this time in France V ATICAN CITY (NC) — When Pope John Paul II visits France, May 30June 2, he is sure to receive better treatment than the last papal visitor. Pope Pius VII spent nearly two years at Fontainebleau, near Paris, as a prisoner of Napoleon Bonaparte. He returned to Rome on May 24, 1814, and no pope has made the trip since. That period was one of the low p oints in relations between the papacy and France, which also served as the home of nine popes in the 12th century. The papacy first gained considerable power in France in the second half of the 1 1th century when, because of conflicts with the Roman emperors, popes often found refuge there.

URBAN II Grateful for the welcome, the popes appointed many French cardinals, who elected one of their own as Pope Urban II around 1100. By the early 1300s, however, the French church had gained sufficient power to impose its own

policies on the Holy See, then led by Pope Clement V, a Frenchman. A natural result of that shift in power, at least according to the French, was the transfer of the Holy See from Home to Avignon, France, in 1308.

ism and patronage of the arts. At the time of the French Revolution in 1789, the French hierarchy was made up exclusively of nobility and the church was identified with the aristocracy.

MOVE

Perhaps because of that identification, the papacy s uffered its worth humiliations in France under Napoleon after the revolution. T he relationship between Pope Pius VII and Bonaparte began relatively smoothly with the negotiation of a new church-state concordat in 1801.

"From a college of French cardinals only French popes could be elected, and these, now that France had become the church's centre of gravity, established themselves in Provence," the region of France in which A vignon was located, says the New Catholic Encyclopaedia of the rationale for the move. In the centuries following papacy's return to Rome many leaders of the French church devoted themselves primarily to personal politics, accumulation of wealth, nepot-

But Pope Pius refused to receive the constitutional oath from Napoleon, because it contained clauses contrary to the church's principles. On February, 1808, N apoleon's forces invaded Rome and Pius VII excommunicated the instigators, without specifically mentioning Napoleon. The pope was arrested on July 10, 1809, and deported to Savona, near Genoa, Italy. He was transferred to France in June, 1812, and returned to Rome a free man in May, 1814.

ANTI-CHURCH Because many French Catholics refused to abandon the monarchial ideal, the church continued to suffer in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1892, Pope Leo XIII vainly sought to convince French Catholics not to fight the concept of CROWNING republican institutions, in The concordat, which the encyclical "Au Millieu remained in effect until des Sollicitudes (In the 1905, did not recognize Midst of Cares)."

NEW YORK (NC) — The Soviet government in Lithuania is having problems with the religious activities of Lithuanian youth, according to the Chronicle of the Catholic Church in Lithuania. The 40th issue of the underground publication, recently smuggled out of the USSR, reported a large religious rally attended by many young people. "The falsehood and coercion are obvious to all," said the publication of Soviet efforts to convert Lithuanian youth to communism. "Even though Soviet law forbids youngsters to serve Mass, take part in processions, sing in the choir or to participate in group religious instruction, these laws are blatantly ignored throughout Lithuania," according to the publication. To discourage such activities, the Chronicle reported that the Soviet government has carried out a series of raids and arrests. Nevertheless, "on Sept. 26, 1979, about 1,000 persons, most of them in their late teens, gathered for the traditional rally of the "Friends of the Eucharist" youth movement unauthorized by the government. The rally took place at the national Shrine of Our Lady of Siluva. The first such Mass and procession took place five

Politics is for laymen: Pope on priest's ban

Before present pope there was dislike of priests in politicsiI

THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1980

R OME: "Politics is the responsibility of laymen" was Pope John Paul's answer to a query on

the Vatican prohibition on Jesuit Father Robert Drinan to seek re-election for the U.S. Congress this year. Father Drinan, a priest for 27 years, has been a Massachusetts Democrat inCongress for the past 10 years.. His suspension from further political office is on the direct order of the Jesuit Superior general, Father Pedro Arrupe, acting on the advice of Pope John Paul II. "Christian laymen should be involved in s ocial and political action," said the pope to j ournalists on the plane returning from Africa last week. "The Church has asocial and ethical role but politicization is another thing" the pope said.

APPEAL Father Edward O'Flahefty, the New England Jesuit superior, was advised on April 27 to pass on the Rome veto to Father Drinan. He appealed on behalf of Father Drinan but on May 3 a further confirmation of the top Jesuit decision was sent to him. Father O'Flaherty explained that an exception had been made to a long standing church rule to allow Father Drinan to stand for politics. His statement said in part: It will be recalled that in 1970 an exception was made by local church authorities to the longstanding church law forbidding clerics to hold or seek elective office, thus permitting Father Drinan's candidacy. I had renewed that permission, as had two previous provincials before me. Nevertheless, it is obvious that in the pope's view the reasons that commended the idea of Father Drinan's candidacy up to now no longer apply.

•

That Pope John Paul was moving toward such a view of things has been signaled more than once since his election to the papacy in October of 1978. In January of 1979, for instance, speaking in Mexico City to an immense international gathering of religious order priests he said: "You are priests and members of religious orders. You are not social directors, political leaders or functionaries of temporal power." He asked them to remember that temporal leadership can easily become a source of division while a priest should be a sign and factor of unity of brotherhood. Finally, he said, these secular functions are the proper field of action of the laity, who ought to perfect temporal matters with a Christian spirit. In his Holy Thursday letter to priests in April of that same year, John Paul II made a number of similar points. I wish to associate myself completely with Father Arrupe's expression of personal admiration for Father Drinan and with his "respect for his ready, loyal compliance with the superior's directive." Bishop Thomas Kelly, general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops said church law always has prohibited priests from participating in partisan politics. The prohibition, Bishop Kelly noted, has been upheld through the years by the Second Vatican Council, by the world Synod of Bishops in 1971 and by Pope John Paul in a speech in Mexico last year. Father Drinan is not so happy with the decision

which he accepted "with regret and pain". "I went to Congress, chosen by a citizen's caucus, to work for justice in America and for peace throughout the world," said Father Drinan. "These are clearly objectives ardently recommended by the Second Vatican Council and by all modern popes." He continued, "I have spent 10 of the 27 years of my priesthood as a member of Congress. "I am certain that I was more influential as a priest in those 10 years than in my previous 14 as dean of the Boston College law school." "I am grateful to have had these opportunities to be a moral architect. I can think of no other activities more worthy of the involvement of a priest and a Jesuit. "I am proud and honoured to be a priest and a Jesuit. As a person of faithImust believe that there is work for me to do which somehow will be more important than the w ork I am required to leave." Father Drinan, 59, is a leading House liberal who opposed the Vietnam War and the military draft. He recently said he was opposed to President Carter's proposal to reinstitute draft registration. He voted in the House Judiciary Committee for the impeachment of President Nixon, and he said that Nixon's 1974 pardon by President Ford was "constitutionally and morally wrong".

Italian priest suspended

Bishop Gilberto Baroni of Reggio Emilia announced the suspension "a divinis" of Father Ercole Artoni in a letter in May 8. The name of Father Artoni, founder and director of the John X XIII Community in Mancasale, appeared recently on a list of r ecommendations to voters from the Italian Communist Party. He is seeking a seat on the city council as an independent candidate. The Communist recommendation virtually assured his election in Reggio Emilia, about 250 miles northwest of Rome. In his letter, Bishop Baroni said that he had clearly forbidden the priest to seek political office. Father Artoni's decision

Transport for Polish refugees Some 500 European refugees have arrived recently at the Graylands Migrant Hostel from the United Nations refugee camp near Vienna, Austria. The refugees come from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. The St. Thomas, Claremont, conference of St. Vincent de Paul and the Polish community have been helping to transport these migrants to the Polish Catholic Centre at Maylands each Sunday for Mass and a social meeting afterwards. Pictured are: Left to right: Polish chaplain Father Boleslaw SMOK, Mr and Mrs WOJIK, Lucjan ROMANOWSKI, Father JANUS, Maria PIECZYKOLAN and Father SIMON.

All but six of the 150 delegates present voted in favour of the laicization resolution, drawn from proposals of four separate councils in the past year and hammered into a final resolution during lengthy hearings.

Strength of Spirit in youth's 'thinking' and 'feeling' One of the pleasing features of the Charismatic Renewal within the Catholic Church is seeing young people joyously priasing God in small groups and large rallies of public worship. T his personalised appreciation of the Risen Lord is wonderful to see. What concerns me is t hat sooner or later y oung people may have to discover that good feelings do not always go with prayer. 1 am concerned that y oung people seem inclined to pray only when they feel like it, and not because they have made a decision to worship daily our Father in heaven.

MISUSED The most misused word among politicians, advertisers and especially young people is "I feel". Nine times out of ten they really mean "I think". We cannot say "I think sad" or, "I think happy"; that does not make sense. It is also inaccurate to say "I feel that we should regularly visit old Mrs. Brown down the street". What we really mean is "I think we should visit..." I wonder, at times, if many of the problems of adolescence and early adulthood do not stem f rom a confusion between the two realities of "thinking-deciding" and "feeling

The Holy Spirit has come into our whole being, our hearts, our minds and our souls. The Spirit gives us a glimpse of the warmth, security and happiness of being close to God the Father. By infusing our wills and intellect the Spirit teaches us about God and helps us to make a conscious decision to act as God's children.

THE TIMES There are times in our life when we know what the right decision is, what the correct course of action should be. This does not necessarily make us feel bubbly, excited or exuberant with happiness. These can be times of tension, frustation and of

First Stranger camp

Last weekend the first Youth Encounter Stranger camp for 1980 was held at the Anglican Camping centre, Parkerville and proved a great success. A Youth Encounter Stranger camp is a campstyle retreat programme for year-12 secondary students. The programme is run by the Youth Encounter Movement who are a team of young Catholics in the spiritual ministry to Catholic youth. Twenty-two students f rom ten different secondary schools joined the seven members of the Youth Encounter team to p articipate in the weekend.

They came from Mercy College, Trinity, Aquinas, La Salle, C.B.C. Leederville, St. Thomas Aquinas, Santa Maria, Sacred Heart, Highgate and Mercedes. "It was an opportunity to define your priorities and goals in relationship to others", said Paul Plowman of Aquinas. The team leaders were Bernadette Knuckey (Mt.

Patron saint ASSISI, Italy (NC) Pope John Paul II has proclaimed St. Francis of Assisi patron saint of ecology. The new title for the nature -loving 13thcentury Italian saint who founded the Franciscan order was made public in a papal bull. It said that St. Francis "considered nature a wonderful gift of God to humanity, to the point that, inspired by a practically divine spirit, he sang that most beautiful 'Canticle of the Sun' through which he gave praise, glory, honour and every blessing to the most high, the almighty good Lord." The canticle begins, "Praise to thee, my Lord, for all thy creatures,

ARGUMENT I think then that Father Dynon's quarrel is not with psychologists, but with the unwarranted application of some psychology to religious areas. This is the very thing that writers like Vitz and Jeeves (both professional psychologists) attack. Vitz's book, "Psychology as Religion" is a thesis against a psychology being paraded as a religion. Jeeves gives some examples of psychological terms being summarily transplanted from their native heath to the religious scene with no effort made to ensure the goodness of it.

A SCIENCE? No psychologist will approve of this mischievous extrapolation, given the scrupulous regard with which he is taught f or definition and precision. I feel it must also be said that not all psychologists would view their discipline as a science in the usual sense of that term. True, all would feel bound to the rigour of method and dedicated pursuit of truth that the "hard" sciences demand. But psychology as science would not be a fair representation of how all psychologists would see their work. A crucial point is raised b y Father Dynon's second paragraph: "Does he (the modern psychologist) view man minus the grace dimension or does he view man as a redeemed creature of God?". "Modern psychology", it must be noted, is a very vague term and can connote endless schools and camp-followers of personality theory. But one's vision of the

colour the way one deals with another and like it or not — this enters into all human interactions, Thus, the believer who sees the person as a redeemed and elevated child of God will have another view from the psychologist who may accept none of this kind of vision,

CONFLICT? I am not saying that a sincere psychologist will not be able to help those of other religious persuasions: any approved psychologist will surely have the required empathy to be able to see the other person's world-view. But Iam suggesting that a person whose view of life excludes any transcendental dimension may find it hard to get into the shoes of a person whose horizons are different. Many of my confreres are accredited psychologists as well as being priests, and while it is true that they would have special clients, they do not see any conflict in their roles. They also find that their psychological education is a great benefit in their way of helping others. This is not to say that psychological expertise is essential to the ministry.

I know of so many priests with no formal psychological training whose rapport with people is excellent. It is interesting to read that people, like Pyschiatrist Robert Coles, lament the rush of ministers to do special courses in psychology, group work and the like. He states (and this in agreement with others like Jung, Tournier, Frankl before him) that the minister has a special dimension to ofer this people that is not therapy and for which therapy is no substitute.

HELPING

Finally, may I add that while the psychologist as psychologist does not decide on moral issues for those he tries to help, this does not mean that he will passively stand by with moral neutrality while on of his clients, deeply disturbed, makes a decision he! she may later regret. Contemplated suicide is something else again. As for the theologian (or minister) deciding on p sychological issues, surely this has to be read in context. Thus, in matters of professional research or manifest pathology, the priest is a layman.

But in the common crises of life grief, loss, family breakdown his o wn deep humanity, compassion and awareness of his own frailty are qualities that can and have been of inestimable help to those in sorrow. Fr. JOHN O'REGAN, OMI Lesmurdie

VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John PaulII recognizes the new association representing Vatican employees as a legitimately constituted body. The Committee for the Defense of the Rights of Vatican Emplyees was formed in late 1979 with the participation of over 1,000 oft he 3,000 Vatican employees. It is the closest thing to a union that can be allowed under Vatican law. Leaders of the employee group will meet soon with Vatican officials to discuss employee issues.

School and the church: No link for 60 percent?

Sir, According to reported remarks of Brother Treston (The Record May 15) 60 per cent of staff and pupils at Catholic schools have no link with the institutional church. If things are as bad as that not all the "State Aid" in Australia can restore the Catholic image of our schools nor is the establishment of new schools at a cost of up to a $1,000,000 a school justified; and, it may be asked, why the DOGS worry about "State Aid" establishing Catholic or other churches? Though Brother Treston's statement calls for justification, yet, in my own experience Iknow of one Catholic school where Religious Instruction is listed as an optional subject and the children know neither the

Angelus nor were told of the Annunciation Feast, (nor St. Patrick!) enough to make the late Archbishop Prendiville turn in his grave. But the good news in the same issue is the appoint,ment of Mrs. Margaret Williams to the Churches' Commission on Education to oversee the implementation of the Nott Report on Religious Education in State schools. In my thought the real gain from the past twenty five years' agitation for "State Aid" lies in the underlining and acceptance of this need for religious knowledge in all education.

PARENTS Mass ng -morni Why no early on Holy Days to cater for working people? Sir, On Ascension ThursdayItried to locate a church whereIcould assist at a 6.30 or 6.45 a.m. Mass. Although I drove to four different areas I was unable to do this. Why is it that working people are not catered for in these trying times? Other than a few churches it is impossible to find an early Mass before work. For two and a half years before I moved residence I drove sixty miles per week in order to be able to assist at an early Mass. Also, regarding the evening instead of the morning Masses, while these may be convenient fora few this is not so with the majority of people. When a husband has worked hard all day and has had to battle his way home through the frustrating peak period traffic, he is in no mood to be pressurised with a" Hurry up there is Mass this evening". Although some may say there is only a small number at the morning

find the same few at the evening Mass. While on the subject of time-tables, would it be possible to have an earlier Mass on public holidays? The nine and nine thirty Mass times make it quite

late if one wishes to go anywhere or to commence one of the many jobs that are waiting to be done at home, especially if cement mixing is involved. A. BRISTOW

The further need is for all Christian parents to take an interest in and encourage Mrs. Williams' work and to pray that it may be successful. In our ownCatholic area we also need to give more thought to Sunday school for our children and to consider if, when buried behind adults during the liturgy and sermon time of Holy Mass, they are being benefited or alienated in their spiritual development.

Pre-natal tests lead to abortion: U.S. claim

W ASHINGTON (NC) — The Washington Post reported r ecently what some pro-life groups have b een charging all along: that fetuses are being aborted when pregnant women learn through amniocentesis that their child will be the "wrong" sex. The Post said that while most doctors refused to p erform amniocentesis simply to determine the sex of the unborn child, some doctors were beginning to advocate the practice as part of a woman's right to decide reproduction. The article also reported while amniocentesis had been a technique limited to hospitals, more and more obstetricians were learning to perform the test in their offices, thus giving a woman who wanted to learn the sex of her child the opportunity to 'shop around' until she found a doctor willing to perform the test.

Amniocentesis is a prenatal test in which a doctor inserts a needle into the womb and withdraws a small amount of amniotic fluid containing fetal cells. The cells then are examined to detect the presence of a genetic or metabolic disorder. But the test also reveals the sex of the unborn fetus. According to The Post, dortors are reluctant to perform amniocentesis simply to determine the sex of the child sometimes do so when one or both parents are highly disturbed people who threaten to end the pregnancy in any case unless they can learn the child's sex. Tfre artrtTh indicated that most doctors still will refuse an abortion simply because the child is the wrong sex, but they also

have no control over what a pregnant woman might do with the information learned in amniocentesis. The woman might have the amniocentesis done at one centre, then go to another clinic for the abortion, the doctors say. They also said that the increasing practice of obstectricians performing amniocentesis tests in their offices was dangerous. In a major medical centre, a trained team takes a sonogram, or sound picture, to locate the fetus precisely before inserting the needle to withdraw the fluid.

RISK Without such precision, there is a risk of miscarriage. There also is risk in that amniocentesis cannot be performed until the middle stages of pregnancy.

That means if the women chooses an abortion after amniocentesis, the risk to the mother would be greater. The report is bound to stir new debate among pro-lifers over the morality of amniocentesis.

CONFLICT The procedure itself — but not the end result of abortion — has been defended by some, most notably Msgr. James T. McHugh, former director of the bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities, as a test which can save lives of both mothers and unborn children because it can help physicians to help women who might otherwise have difficulty in giving birth. Msgr. McHugh has called the test itself morally neutral. But others, led by Benedictine Father Paul Marx, director of the Human Life Centre at St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota, say the primary purpose of amniocentesis is abortion and that the procedure is no more than a method of "search and destroy."

UN study: 'Big number of female deaths' UNITED NATIONS (NC) — Abortion, legal and illegal, "is the most widely used method of fertility regulation," according to a World Health Organization (WHO) study. The study was prepared for the World Conference on the United Nations Decade for Women to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July. "The complications of pregnancy and childbirth and of illegally induced abortion in areas where e nvironmental health conditions are adverse r esult in big numbers of female deaths," said the study. "1n developing countries, where fertility levels are high, maternal mortality can be 100 times greater than in developed c ountries," it added.

F or female adolescents having children at an early age presents serious health and social problems, and their future educational, employment and social opportunities may be severely curtailed, said the study.

there are liberal abortion laws and policies. The rest of the population, especially in Latin America, lives in areas where abortion is generally illegal or permitted only to protect a woman's life or health. Nevertheless, in most parts of the world, for the majority wanting an abortion, "health services are not accessible (physically or financially), or are not sought for many reasons," said WHO. Data on illegal abortions were difficult to obtain, WHO said, but estimated that levels were high.

This was not a question posed to health authorities, but to society as a whole, said WHO. The study also discusses female sexuality. Attitudes toward female sexuality are "difficult to separate from religious, moral, cultural and other attitudes towards women in society," it said. Female sexuality had been a taboo subject for social analysts in many parts of the world, but w omen's liberation movements had brought the issue to the surface, said WHO.

Phone service to help to find willing doctors ROME (NC) — A regional telephone service to help women find doctors willing to perform abortions would go into operation within a few weeks, Italian Health Minister Renato Altissimo said last month. About 200,000 Statefunded abortions were performed in Italy during the law's first year, but an estimated 300,000 illegal abortions also took place. Signor Altissimo said that the large number of illegal abortions was due partly to women's difficulty in finding health personnel who would agree to perform the abortions. The law allows medical personnel to register as "conscientious objectors" to abortion. W hen the law was approved, the Italian bishops and Pope Paul VI urged Catholics to refuse to perform abortions. At present, 66 percent of Italy's physicians are conscientious objectors to abortion, as well as 48 percent of the anesthetists and 56 percent of paramedical personnel. Carlo Casini, a member of the Justice Commission and of the Christian Democratic Party, said that Signor Altissimo's p resentation clearly showed that abortion had become a form of birth control in Italy. He said that statistics showed that the woman most likely to seek an abortion in Italy was married, between the ages of 19 and 30, and the mother

of one or two children who did not want more. Casini called on his fellow legislators to "find sufficient strength and unity to profoundly change this law."

SWEDISH CONCERN ON RISE Concern about

the high number of abortions, which has been mounting in Australia, is now shared in Sweden which has always had a liberal view on this issue. A recent report says that it is not only the Christian c hurches which are e xpressing concern at Sweden's present figure of 30,000 abortions a year, but many other agencies in society. One reason for the increase in abortions is believed to be the growing reluctance of women to use the pill for fear of sideeffects. The bishops of the Swedish Church have asked the Ecumenical Council to consider the matter. ln the meantime the Swedish Bishops have r ecommended that aborted embryos should be cremated in future and the ashes scattered in cemeteries.

St. Francis seminary, 122 years old, closes CINCINATI (NC) — St. Francis Seminary, operated by the Cincinnati Franciscans for the past 122 years for high school boys preparing to join the order, will close at the end of the current school term. Officially known as St. Francis Seraphic Preparatory Seminary, it is said to have been the second seminary for high school students established in the United States. The first was St. Charles at Catonsville. Father Andrew Fox, provincial of the Franciscans' Cincinnati province, announced the decision after a meeting of the provincial definitorium, or governing board. He cited the declining number of students entering the high school seminary and the declining percentage of students who go on to professvows in the Order of Friars Minor and continue to ordination. W hen the seminary observed its centennial in 1958 there were 144 boys enrolled; this year there are 69. Projected enrollment for the coming year was 60-65. Father Fox also indicated that ending the high school programme would enable the Franciscans to concentrate their efforts on the preparation of seminary students at the college and post-college levels.

GREYHOUNDS By The Record Tipster

Subiaco, in winning its first game of the season last weekend, must have put new heart into the club which has been beset by misfortune and lack of success for some time now. Not only did the team defeat East Fremantle but it played courageous, dedicated football in doing so. The manner and size of the victory was the result probably of some hard work by the coach, Ken Armstrong who only recently let go several players whose services were no longer required to concentrate on younger or newer players with more potential. His policy, in addition to his well-known fine coaching, seems to be paying dividends. It is early days and Subiaco may still have a long .way to go before establishing the efficiency essential to any club of the required league standard but at least in the game against East Fremantle the talents of the newer player were harnessed and a solid pattern of play was developed which augurs well for the future. Players like Marshall, Buckenara and Munro, among the newer men, and the experienced Douge, Blair and Hamilton gave Subiaco a wellbalanced system and, most important of all, were in the vanguard in the persistent, efficient attack and solid defence which helped the team to learn how to win - something which had been lacking at Subiaco for quite some time. It seemed obvious that Armstrong has been concentrating on precision in the normal skills - acurate instead of ragged hand-passing, reasonably accurate kicking to the man and at goal and clean

was a serious blow but the club has not sustained a significant loss of players other than this. One problem appears to be that some of the young players who did so well and showed such promise last season have not performed well this season and there have been injuries to leading players, but this cannot be avoided. It would be a brave man who would say that East Fremantle were "finished" for the season, simply because the club has been down in the past and has recovered brilliantly. At the time of writing the suggestion was that the

champion Brian Peake might elect now to go to Geelong, in view of east Fremantle's lack of success, and play out the rest of the season with the Victorian club which has been anxious to get his services. Up to the present Peake has been reluctant to leave Western Australia and there will be many people, including East Fremantle administrators and supporters who would be sorry to see him go, at least during this season. The other Fremantle team, while not yet in trouble, must be looking anxiously at its future prospects. South Fremantle, after a

St. Benedicts(1) clinched the B Grade final with a fighting win over their clubmates in the West Australian Catholic Lawn Tennis Association pennants last weekend. The clash between the two St. Benedicts teams to decide the winner of the pennant was worthy of any grand final. Going into the last two matches, the scores were level at two rubbers all. The No. 1 team was successful in the men's doubles 6-1, but lost the ladies' 3-6. The first round of mixed were also halved, the No. 1 team winning 6-3 and the No. 2 taking out the other rubber 6-1. Remembering that the No. 2 team had a better percentage at the start of this round, No. 1 needed to win both of the last t wo mixed doubles. That's just what they did; after being down in both sets they stormed home winning 6-4 and 62 to take out the match and title four sets 28 games to two sets 22 games. Both teams finished on 18 points, but the No. 1 team had won four more sets. Congratulations must go to both teams for their fine effort. The winning team consisted of Claude Mancini, Les Curry, Heather Lee

An indication will be quickly gained as the team's match this weekend is against Graham Campbell's efficient West Perth. As for East Fremantle, who went down to Subiaco by a shattering 78 points, it is hard to know what ails this fine club which has a great tradition, is seldom far from the top of the league table and which won the 1979 premiership.

good start to the season, are now just in the "four", having lost three matches in the first round. South Fremantle pressed the leaders, Swan District hard until the final few minutes of the game last weekend but were not good enough to win. Their next game, against Perth at Lathlain Park, will test their mettle. *** The Australian professional Greg Norman must have set something of a record in winning the French open golf championship by 20 strokes. There can have been few tournaments, certainly major tournaments, in modern times that have been won by such a margin. The tall,- athletic Norman, who at 27, is emerging as a major figure in international golf bears a striking resemblance to Johnny Miller, the American who three or four seasons ago burst upon the scene with a remarkable series of successes. Since then, inexplicably, he has had only moderate success.

GORTELEA narrowly failed to make it two wins in a row when he went down to Brechin Castle in the E. D. P. Hayes Handicap on Saturday. After being momentarily blocked for a run at the top Of the straight, GO RTELEA finished on very strongly to go down by a half head. This galloper is sure to be very hard to beat next start and is one to follow. GRAZVORN showed great fighting qualities when he finished a close second to the much improved Staan Castle in the first at Belmont. After dashing to the lead on straightening. GRAZVORN fought on doggedly when tackled by the eventual winner. The resultant two-horse battle to the line had racegoers on their toes with the favourite getting the verdict by a short neck. CASELLA, which finished fourth to Staan Castle and Grazvorn, showed enough to suggest that she will soon win a race. This Cassidy filly would be ideally suited in a two year-old maiden race on the Provincial circuit and is worth keeping an eye on. WICHITA had her first city start after two recent wins at York and was far from disgraced in finishing fourth to Storm Warning over 2,400 metres. WICHITA has the making of a very handy middle-distance galloper and is sure to win a city graduation in the near future for trainer Brian Mueller.
