Proclaim the faith: Pope to French
PARIS: Pope John Paul II opened his four day visit to France telling Catholics to 'discard any faintheartedness" in proclaiming their faith. Emphasising certainty in their faith he said: "I came here to support you on the gospel path, a narrow path indeed but the greatest one, the secure one. The voyage was generally regarded as an effort to stimulate what the Vatican considers. the declining adherence to Catholicism in French life. Although 85 percent of the French profess Catholicism, only 20 percent are practising Catholics.
CONFLICT The pope's 24 speeches in France included: • Asking the French bishops to reconcile differences between Catholics rejecting many of the teachings of Vatican II and those wanting more liberal interpretations of the council documents. • Telling scientists they are threatening the future
of mankind through genetic manipulation and by creating increasingly destructive nuclear weapons. • Warning workers against viewing communism as the solution to the world's injustices. "The world has been led into an unstable situation due to geopolitical reasons, to wounded national pride, to the materialism of our age, to the decadence of moral values," he said on June 2 in a speech at the headquarters of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). A lthough science existed to serve mankind, it had often been used for destructive aims such as genetic manipulation and the development of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, he said.

Using tradition to localise 'foreign' West Samoan church
SYDNEY: "In Western Samoa, the Church has been and still is a foreign Church and the challenge is to localise the Church," Cardinal Taofinu'u said here last week. "When I say 'localisation' I mean making Christ personal in the life of the people," he said. "Till now the Church has been — and still is -a foreign Church. "That is people's mentality, their understanding of it. It's something outside their culture." Cardinal Taofinu'u said that in the past, instruction had been in a moralising voice. "It has been something people could memorise, but did not really know how to put into practice in their lives," he said. "They have the faith now — a simple faith.

"But it is not enough today as the islands open up to the outside world. "The influences of the outside world will shake that simple faith. "It's alright for the old folks. "They're settled with their spirituality. "They feel the more rosaries they say the holier they are.
"But that sort of spirituality is not acceptable to the younger people. "They live in a different world." Cardinal Taofinu'u said that one way to encourage the "localisation" process was to use elements of traditional ceremonies in the liturgy, especially the Mass. For example, the traditional royal welcome, the Kava ceremony, could be used. "We have the traditional royal offering of gifts," he said. "We try to use elements of this in the offertory procession — and deepen it by explaining how gifts of food represent God's gift to us of life. "The Kava ceremony is incomplete without what we call its consequence.

successful. "Of course, there are some who complain. But you can't please everyone. "In Samoa, when we celebrate we celebrate. "The old style of Mass was more like a mourning ceremony than the singing of the alleluii because Christ is risen and his victory is ours."
CATECHIST Cardinal Taofinu'u said that his diocese places great emphasis on the role of catechists.

Catechists have been an important part of the Church in the diocese for more than a century. "The word 'catechists' can be deceiving," he said. "The catechist system is very common in missionary areas. "Catechists can be people who teach catechetics. "Their only preparation may be two or three seminars. "When I talk about catechists I mean people who have had four years of preparation in a theological college and who are then sent by the bishop to work full-time in a village. (CONTINUED P.3)

BISHOPS' CONFERENCE ON FAMILY
What Aust. Interpreting responses to Catholics onsultati on c think
S YDNEY: Many Australian Catholics have high hopes for Christian marriage but also feel embattled and isolated in a permissive materialistic and pagan society.
The opinion is gleaned from the replies of 14,585 Catholics who discussed a series of questions in 1661 groups around Australia last year. The questions were designed by the Catholic Welfare Commission a consultation in preparation for this year's Synod of in September whose theme is the Christian family. Bishop Perkins, who will accompany Cardinal Freeman to the Synod, presented a report-85 pages with appendices so far — to the national meeting of Australian bishops. "The sample is, of course, biased one," Bishop Perkins said. "Idon't know how you would get a random sample of Catholics. "How can you reach those who have dissociated themselves from the Church in some way and get them to take part in a consultation of this kind? "We could only invite people to take part. "And the invitation tended to be taken up by people in the Church."
"ENCOURAGING"
Bishop Perkins said the on balance the consultation presented a hopeful picture. The size of the response was encouraging in itself. It would be a valuable contribution to Australia's preparation to the synod. It had got people talking about important issues. In the main it presented a hopeful picture of what Australian Catholics were thinking. "There are problem areas that show up in theconsultation," Bishop Perkins said. "We all know they exist and they are not glossed over. "But we often hear less on the positive side - and this is where this report is so encouraging. "It shows that in general the Catholic family in Australia is holding together pretty well." Bishop Perkins gave an example - a section which asked what people took into consideration when planning a family. "Birth control and responsible parenthood were among the things that came out in the answers," he said.
ECONOMICS, HOUSING "A certain amount of anger, frustration and confusion came out, too. "But this whole question of family planning and responsible parenthood was considered most important by only 6 percent of those who replied. "Economic and housing considerations were far more prominent — 65 percent. " Another thing I found most interesting is that Australian Catholics have significantly different ideas of Christian marriage and marriage in general." Bishop Perkins said that it is obvious that many Catholics had little idea of what family and other support services the Church offered.
"NOT A SURVEY"
"Many Catholics do not know they exist," he said. "Many others are confused about what help they can o ffer. "A preamble to the draft report emphasises that the e xercise was a consultation, not a survey. A social survey attempts to gather information that accurate and that can be generalised statistically from those surveyed to some larger group or population," it says, "The consultation was not a survey and there has been no attempt to make statistical generalisations of the result to other groups. , However, there is no reason to believe that the Information collected is inaccurate."

SYDNEY: — Work needs to be done on a comparative analysis of the r esponses to the national consultation on Christian family life, according to the chairman of the National Catholic Welfare Commission, Father Clement Kilby.
Father Kilby gave instances of responses that have still to be further interpreted. For example, there is a significant response to the question: "Are their special problems facing married Catholics in 1979?" Nationally, 38 per cent of the groups nominated family planning, birth control, size of the family and contraception as the problem. But note has to be taken of response to a later question on the criteria that decide the size of a family.
MAJOR POINTS Economic factors and housing were the major determinants, according to 65 per cent of the groups. Responsible parenthood and family planning were listed first as determinants by only 6 per cent of the groups. It cannot be determined what meaning lies behind these different responses. But this factor and others can become better understood as the process of consultation continues within the Australian Church. It can be said with some accuracy that the majority of those taking part in
the groups were privileged members of the Church who practise their faith. There are much more aware than most of the meaning of the Church. They readily, even eagerly, receive and obey the guidance and directions of the Church's teaching authority. This strong adherence in no way lessens or negates the validity of their opinions. The groups reflected a keen awareness of a hostile, materialistic society in which they live.
DANGERS Their perception is accurate. Their response to this threat must concern the Church. Some offered strong opinions and strategies. These were reactions to the dangers they perceived. Many called for measures to protect Christian moral values, Catholic religious life and Christian family life. Many people obviously feel a need for isolation from a materialistic society. The resulting social separatism carries its own grave problems for C atholics and the Church. There are many educated Catholic people who acquire their values, not from people about them, nor from the statute books, nor from the common mores, but from the teaching authority of the Church. If this is valid, then the training of Catholics for life must be firmly based
Samoan Church (fromP1)
"These men are doing the work that deacons do in other places — including taking Bible services with distribution of Holy Communion on Sundays in places where there are no priests." There are 120 full-time permanent catechists in the diocese and only 40 priests. "The catechist system is integrated into our culture," the cardinal said. "The catechist becomes one of the leaders in the village and is recognised as a leader by Protestants as well as Catholics. "He has more power and influence in the village than the priest has. "We are seen as foreigners, even those of us who are local priests of Religion.

on the teaching of the Church, clearly and regularly expounded and discussed.
IGNORANCE This is a pastoral imperative. "This is general ignorance about facilities for family support that are sponsored and funded by the Church and already available at the local and diocesan level," he said. "Even when people know the facility exists they are often misinformed about the nature and extent of the services
PRIORITIES "This gives an important indication to the Church in choosing and planning priorities of service. "The responses given on Christian marriage and family were couched in terms of ideals, hopes and expectation, rather than on the outcome of Christian marriages.
The method, scope and possibilities SYDNEY: Last year's national consultation on the family could begin an accelerating process and open up tremendous pastoral possibilities for the Church. This is the opinion of Father Clement Kilby, chairman of the Australian Catholic Welfare Commission. The commission conducted the consultation in 26 dioceses as a preparation for this year's Synod of Bishops in Rome. Father Kilby made some further observations on the consultation whose results were presented at the Australian bishops last week:
But with the process begun, there is every reason to believe that it can be achieved. It is impossible to summarise completely the content of the consultation. But it cannot be the task of a national commission to judge what is suitable and appropriate for different regions and localities throughout Australia. The pastoral initiatives to be pursued need to be referred back to the diocese and to the local Church. The exercise was conducted on a parish basis. A nd the responses should be directed back to
the parishes. "We hope," he said, "that the publication of t he consultation responses will demonstrate to those who took part — and to others who may not have had the opportunity to be involved, or a voided the exercise because they thought it would be a waste of time — that a significant number of Catholic people have been consulted, and that their opinions have been officially noted compiled and returned to them. "This will give to many a new confidence in the effectiveness role within the Church.
SHARING From the beginning the consultation was seen as an exercise in sharing information and ideas about the family in the A ustralian Catholic Church. It was intended to be more than just a (survey) consultation. Ideally, all members of the Church would be involved. And the information would be shared between people at all levels in the Church. That ideal has not been achieved yet.

it offers. "On the other hand, the need for extensive family support services in our c ommunities was clearly and strongly voiced by most groups taking part.
"Nevertheless, the responses may well indicate that these specific elements of Christian marriage are indeed noticeable in their own marriages and in the marriages of Christians around them. "What is clear is that the hopes of Christian marriage are high. "The initial goal of the commission's "Operation Family" was to hear from the three of the four marriages which persevere. "We wanted to hear why they stay together, rather than review yet again the causes of breakdown of the one of four marriages. "We may very well have achieved that goal in the consultation.

SYDNEY: Therehave been major changes in the average Australian family in family size, age and rate of marriage and child-bearing, the Australian and Pacific bishops were told.

The speaker was Mr Brian English, supervisor of the University of New S outh Wales Family Research Unit, set up by the Federal government in 1972. Women today finish child bearing (typically t wo) in their late 20s — at about the age their great grandmothers were getting married," he said. "They finish childrearing by the time they reach their mid 40's — at about the age their great grandmothers were just finishing bearing children.
MOTHERS "Their great grandmothers would live for five or six years as grandmothers after they finished rearing their children. "They would then die in their 60's. "Women today still have some 35 years to live after they finish child rearing." "The idea of being a mother as the major role in life no longer holds. "These women not only limit being a mother to about half their married lives.
STRESS "They also do other things while they have children. "About 40 percent of them go to work. The role of men has not changed so drastically. "They still retire at 55,60 or 65.

"On an average they live about seven years after that. "So the retired man role is still valid, whereas the retired mother role has had its day. "And men are getting worried about it.

"Their mothers and grandmothers did not want to change their whole way of life in midlife as their wives do."

Mr. English stressed that the picture of the family he painted was that of the average normal, not pathological, family. "With young marriage and a small family size, more than 60 percent of children grow up in a family with no siblings of the opposite sex," he said. "If you are a child in a family with five or six kids spread over, say 10 years, you learn a lot about living in a family. "You experience living

"People who have missed out on the sort of experience I have been talking about often do not really know what marriage is all about until they are in it," he said. The breakdown of marriage would put great pressure on the Church, which could have various attitudes to the problem. The Church could decide to refuse marriage until it is fairly sure the couple was ready for marriage as the Church saw it.
In the future about nine out often people will enter a legal marriage and a small group will live together as though married, Mr English a family a researcher told the joint Bishops' Conference.

expected by all married women under-40 remains at 2.5 children per woman, according to a Commonwealth projection. The figure is contained in the publication "Birth Expectations of Married W omen, June 1979", recently issued by the Bureau of Statistics. The results of a first survey conducted in November, 1976, also produced a figure of 2.5 children expected by each woman. But the 1979 survey points out that the average number of children already born to married women 25 years and over has declined between 1976 and 1979. The survey is based on a multi-stage area sampling of dwellings covering about two-thirds of one per cent of the population of Australia. According to the analysis of the survey, the preference for the two child family remains high. Of women who already had two children, 86.6 per cent expected no more. There were only minor differences in the expected completed family size of women with different social characteristics, the only exception being women in the labour force who expected to have a completed family size of 2.4 children against 2.8 for those not in the labour force. Expectations of additional children were dependent partially on the sex composition of those children already born to a woman. Among married women, who had had two children of the same sex, 18.4 per
cent expected a third child This compares with 9.1 per cent among those who had a boy and a girl. For younger women aged 1524 years, these proportions were 52.9 per cent and 20.2 per cent respectively.
Over $1.3m for Project Compassion SYDNEY: The Project Compassion figure for 1979 was $1,309,240, Bishop John Gerry told the bishops national meeting. This was an increase of 3 per cent on the 1978 figure. "We accept these funds with a deep sense of responsibility. Our small, dedicated staff is assisted by a volunteer team of diocesan directors. "We do not undertake e xpensive advertising programmes. "Our administration costs, then, are only a fraciton of some agencies' costs. "Administration costs in 1979 were $112,000, 3 per cent of gross income, whole Project Compassion promotion was a further $102,500, 2.7 per cent. "Effectively, 95 cents of every dollar received went t o benefit our programmes and projects.
parents, at any one time about one in ten children in Australia lives in a oneparent family.
ONE PARENT "These children are treated as deficient in a variety of ways. "The one-parent family has greater financial worries, there is less education and other opportunity for the children, there is a certain stigma attached to the position, and so on. "About 30 per cent will experience that before they have left school. "For most it will be for a period of four to five years. "Their parents will re-marry." Re-marriage was bringing a new pattern to family life in Australia, hi added.
NO NAME "For about 30 percent of the population the extended family will not be one made up of previo us generations but previous spouses," he said. "When kids go out for a
picnic at the weekendthey will be going with mum and her new husband, or dad and his new wife — and perhaps some cross siblings." Society has not faced up to this change. "We have not even found satisfactory terms to describe it," he said.
SECOND WIFE?
"Can you really describe a man's second wife as a child's step mother when the child is living with its own mother? "This sort of thing will become more and more common." Where does the Church stand in all this? "The Church must look for ways to apply Christian teaching on marriage and the family in a way that is relevant to people in our urbanised, industrialised society," Mr English said. "If the Church is not seen as being relevant to people's lives, they will vote with their feet. "They will simply stay away."
'Simple, human document' needed
SYDNEY: New Zealand's representative for the world Synod of Bishops has stressed the need for the synod to produce a simple, human and compassionate document on the family.
He is Bishop Edward Gaines, of Hamilton, New Zealand. "Clergy and laity live in high hope that the synod will produce a very simple, human, compassionate, supportive document, intelligible to the simplest Catholic," he said. "The Catholic laity are looking to the bishops to produce a document based on the gospels, with Christ-like ideals related to the real life of ordinary people. Bishop Gaines said tha more than 50,000 people had been involved in a pre-synod study and report. The Catholic Women's League involved more than 5,000 women as well and produced its own report. "New Zealand society could be described as liberal, secular and pluralistic," he said. "The most cherished value is the freedom of the individual. "TV, radio, the Press and commercial advertising have created in New Zealand society a mentality that is described as plastic and disposable.
"Affluence enables people to dispose of, and replace with new, their material goods. "This attitude is now applied to persons and life. "Permanence and fidelity and moral values are considered square and outdated. "Religion, Church and Church teaching is considered no longer relevant to modern life. "Modern youth have grown up under this influence. "Their attitude to marriage, mutual relationships, divorce, abortion
a nd euthanasia are colored by this disposable mentality. "If things do not work out right, in their estimation, then put and end to it. "Marriage is not for life." Bishop Gaines said that only a third of the Catholic population are regular Mass-goers and 60 percent of Catholic children went to State schools. But there was a strong Catholic core of excellent their families who lived the with accord faith in Church. teaching of the Many were prominentin Church and public life.

Rome calls halt to 'abuses' in liturgy
V ATICAN CITY (NC) — The Vatican Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship has called for a halt to "varied and frequent abuses" in the eucharistic liturgy being reported from various parts of the Catholic world. Although it praised some results of liturgical reform, the congregation listed the following among abuses which have been reported: • Thejoining by the laity in the recitation of the e ucharistic prayer; • Homilies given by lay people; • The distribution of Communion by lay people while priests refrain from doing so; • The use of nonscriptural texts in the Liturgy of the Word;
VESTMENTS • The use of unauthorized eucharistic prayers; • The "manipulation of the liturgical texts for social and political ends"; • The abandonment of liturgical vestments; • The celebration of Mass outside church without real need. The Vatican congregation further said that women were not permitted to act as altar servers, although they may be lectors, or readers, for the scriptural readings and may proclaim the intentions for the prayer of the f aithful before the Offertory.
CONFUSION The Congregation for t he Sacraments and Divine Worship issued its directives in an Instruction on Certain Norms Concerning Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery, called "In Aestimabile Donum" (On the Valuable Gift). Pope John Paul II approved the document in April. It was a follow-up to the pope's letter to the bishops of the world this
Only the eucharistic prayers approved by the Holy See were to be used, the congregation said.
past Holy Thursday on "The Mystery and Worship of the Holy Eucharist." The congregation said that it was concerned about the abuses reported, particularly confusion of the roles of the priest and the laity, loss of the sense of the sacred and misunderstanding of the ecclesial character of the liturgy, that is, its nature as the official worship of the church. Calling the abuses it cited "real falsification of the Catholic liturgy," the c ongregation warned against "the near inevitability of violent reactions." Concerning the Mass,
COMMUNION "It is not permitted that the faithful should themselves pick up the consecrated bread and the sacred chalice; still less that they should hand t hem from one to another." Lay eucharistic ministers, the congregation said, would distribute C ommunion "When there is no priest, deacon or acolyte, when the priest is impeded by illness or advanced age, or when the number of the faithful going to Communion is so large as to make the celebration of Mass excessively long. 11

WASHINGTON (NC) — Four of the six holy days of obligation currently being observed in the United States would be dropped under a proposal being studies by the U.S. bishops. The proposal, developed by the bishops' Committee on the Liturgy (BCL) and mailed to the U.S. bishops in mid May, calls for retention of only Christmas and the feast of the Immaculate Conception as holy days of obligation in the United States. The other four U.S. holy days — the solemnity of Mary the Mother of God on January 1, Ascension Ibursday, the feast of the Assumption on August 15, and All Saints' day on November 1 — would not longer be days of obliga-

the congregation stressed the close connection between the Liturgy of the Word and the eucharistic liturgy. Reaffirming previous directive concerning the readings from Scripture, it said: "It would be a serious abuse to replace the word of God with the word of man, no matter who the author may be." The reading of the Gospel and the preaching of the homily were reserved to the priest or deacon, the congregation said. It added that proclamation of the eucharistic prayer was to be done by the priest, not the congregation or a lower minister.
"Communion is a gift of the Lord, given to the faithful through the minister appointed for this purpose," the congregations said.

tory Mass attendance for Catholics. Over the past several years, a number of bishops and priests have complained about the lack of observance of holy days and about the confusion that develops when a holy day falls on a Saturday or a Monday. The bishops' National Advisory Council, a 60member body of laymen, Religious, priests and bishops, also has recommended a change. Conferences of bishops in the various countries of the world have the option of establishing their own list of holy days with the approval of the Vatican.
ONLY TWO C anada currently observes holy days of obligation only on Christmas and the feast of the Immaculate Conception. Mexico observes only Christmas, January 1, and the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The proposal currently is in the form of a survey of the U.S. bishops' opinions on each of the current six holy days. The proposals then may be brought for a formal vote at a future bishops' meeting before going to t he Vatican for final approval. Canon Law calls for the retention in each country of at least two holy days of obligation: Christmas and one feast honouring Mary.
Because Mary, under the title of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, is the national patroness of the church in the United States, the committee recommended that the feast of the Immaculate Conception be retained as the Marian holy day of o bligation for this country. But if Immaculate Conception is retained as a holy day, its traditional December 8 observance might be shifted. The bishops are being asked their opinions on the possibility of dropping the obligation when December 8 falls on a Saturday or Monday, or fixing the feast on the first Wednesday of December.
'CONFUSION' The BCL proposal made the following points about the holy days of obligation proposed to be dropped: • The many levels of celebration on January 1 (Mary Mother of God, World Day of Peace, New Year's Day) has resulted in a "confusion of focus." But the committee also r ecommended that Catholics be encouraged to observe the feast without the dimension of obligation. • The Solemnity of the A scension could be moved to the seventh Sunday of the Easter season rather than be celebrated on "Ascension Thursday." Doing so, the committee said, would give it a more proper observanCe.
Famed author, convert advocate dead at 87 SOUTH BEND, Indiana (NC) — Father John A. O'Brien, author of 45 books and specialist in convert work, died on April 18,in South Bend after a long illness. He was 87. Father O'Birien, was an advocate of Christian unity, but believed that the ecumenical apostolate and convert-making should go "handin hand." Realising the need for a book that would present the doctrines of Catholicism in a way appealing to the intellectual mood of the day, he spent 15 years writing "The Faith of Millions," which was published in 1938 and eventually sold two million copies in 27 editions in 10 languages.
DECLINE He set up convert programmes in about 50 U.S. dioceses and called for involvement of the laity in convert work. In an interview in 1964, he attributed a "disturbing" decline in the number of conversions to the Catholic church to "a letup in convert-making
activity that came in the wake of the announcement of the convening of t he Second Vatican Council and the ensuing discussion on achieving Christian unity. "This seems to have created the impression," he said, "that convertmaking is somewhat out of style and might impair the atmosphere necessary f or the ecumenical movement." He continued: "To suspend convert work in the hope that entire denominations will soon be returning to the Catholic Church is both impractical and unwise." Urging prayer for Christian unity, he also called for efforts "to bring churchless and nonchurchgoing people into the fold of Christ." Father O'Brien spent his summer vacations street preaching and giving lectures in areas of North
Carolina where there were few Catholics or none. Early in his career he set up foundations on secular university campuses so that Catholic students could get some religious training.
HOSTILE But the Newman Clubs, as they came to be known, drew a hostile reaction from most of the Catholic bishops. They considered the Newman Clubs at secular universities to be a necessary evil and feared that t hey would attract Catholics to secular universities and away from t he big network of Catholic universities that the bishops were backing at the time. History, however, was to prove Father O'Brien right in his concern for Catholic students on secular campuses.

MISSION NEWS Convention discusses role and practices of altar servers
L OVE is a subject that is easy to talk or write about, but difficult to practise. Yet Jesus made this the supreme test of his followers. aithful f We must love God completely and love others in the same way as we love ourselves. Love is meant to be unselfish with no strings ttached. a Jesus himself gave us many examples of his love. He offered his life as a sacrifice of love; he left us the Eucharist as a sign of his love. True love is shown by great effort and sacrifice; not once but continually. May God the source of love give us strength to live up to this great ideal. Father PAT AHERN.
CANBERRA: Practical aspects of serving all the sacraments and strong emphasis on the spirituality of the altar server were features of the 7th national Altar Servers' Convention. West Australian representatives among the 200 attending were 12 from Queens Park and seven from Bentley parishes. Four working days commenced with Morning Prayer of the Church at 7.30 a.m., as well as Mass during the day, Evening Prayer with Mass or Benediction and, finally, Night Prayer of the Church at 9.30 p.m. each evening.

There has been an increase in students for the priesthood in the minor seminary of Quibido, Colombia. Most of the new seminarians made their decision after having had stable contacts with the parish or the catechetical centres, and after having participated in retreat days and spiritual exercises. In addition, some of them have had personal contact with priests through collaborating with them in apostolic activities. * * *
The pastoral problems of Buenaventura, Colombia are complex and must take into account social, racial and Tribal aspects of a fast-growing city, as well as problems of the rural sparsely-populated zones. Of the 250,000 inhabitants of the Vicariate, about 200,000 live in the capital city of Buenaventura. Added to the problem of dense population and urban immigration are racial and social considerations. Eighty-five per cent of the population are Negroes, originally from Africa. There is much unemployment and great social inequality among the black people. * * *

During excursions around Canberra the Queens Park servers had the rare honour of being invited to call in on the Apostolic Pro-Nunciature, the offical diplomatic centre of the Vatican, on Red Hill.

CEREMONIES Other sessions were devoted to special ceremonies such as funerals or occasions when bishops are present. The three major days of Holy Week were studied in detail and the less cornmon points of the serving ceremonial explained, Other sessions dealt with vestments and altar yessels as well as the link between the liturgy and the spiritual life of the server. Servers wore their albs for all demonstrations and when attending the Masses which they sang, as well as the services of Eucharistic worship. Masses were celebrated by Archbishop Clancy and Bishop Dougherty of Canberra and the Apostolic Pro-Nuncio Archbishop Barbarito attended and spoke on the significance of the Guild of St. Stephen. The convention was for senior servers with some experience of altar serving and in the closing ceremony 56 youths were enrolled in the Guild of St. Stephen. Since 1964 seven convetions have been held at periodic intervals, the last
being four years ago. Another national convention will be held in two years time.
New guide released
A new guide for altar servers has just been released. It is "Ministry at the Altar — A manual for servers, acolytes, clergy, sacristans, teachers, masters of ceremonies and all involved in the ceremoflies of the Church." It is edited by Fr. Peter Elliott, approved by the Australian Episcopal Liturgical Commission and publsihed by E.J. Dwyer, Australia. "Good serving is more than following rules or being correct or learning to adapt," Fr. Elliott says in an introduction. "It is a sacred duty, the worship of God, acted out in the ways he has inspired within his Church. It is noble Christian art. "I hope that this book will encourage servers to value and enjoy serving." The book has aforeword by Archbishop Young. Contents include chapters on the server, the liturgy, ceremonial actions, the Mass, the sacraments, Holy Week, serving the bishop and the Guild of St. Stephen.
Adoption rather than abortion advocated The State Secretary of the National Civic Council, Mr. Kieran Ryan, said this week that the State and Federal Governments should give urgent consideration to a policy which would give some incentive to expectant mothers to make their children available for adoption rather than opting for abortion. He claimed that the decline in available adoptions was largely a ttributable to an increase in the number of abortions throughout Australia. "We have an incredible state of affairs where childless couples who desperately want to adopt, have great difficulty in doing so whilst almost 100,000 unborn children will be aborted this year", he said. " Many unmarried mothers are now keeping their babies but this is negligible compared to the abortion rate which is threatening serious social c onsequences in the future. "Unless this problem is overcome, an ageing
Australian population will be forced to rapidly increase immigration to guarantee steady development for the future." Mr. Ryan said the situation had become worse in recent years with the introduction of large abortion clinics which would be better named "death factories". Fly-by-night methods now made it possible fora woman to be back at her desk within hours of having an abortion. A plan to make proposed abortions available for adoption had great merit for every section of the community, especially the unborn child who was rarely considered, and deserved serious consideration, he said.

VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul IIand Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Mar Ignatius Yacoub III of Antioch met recently and later, in a highly symbolic gesture, joined in giving the blessings to crowds gathered for the pope's weekly general audience. It was the first time a non-Catholic prelate had joined the pope on stage to give the blessing at a general audience. In different contexts, on at least three occasions Pope Paul VI and other Orthodox leaders — Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras of Constantinople, Armenian Patriach Vasken I of Etc hmiadzin (in Soviet Armenia), and Coptic Patriach Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria, Egypt —gave separate blessings at the end of a formal ceremony. In 1971 Patriarch Yacoub and Pope Paul met for the first time in Rome and issued a joint statement declaring that the historical differences dividing their churches were over matters of theological expression, not of faith. Pope John Paul recalled that meeting and reaffirmed the declaration in his formal remarks to the patriarch. The 1971 statement "recognized that, even if over the centuries difficulties have arisen because of the different theological expressions which have been used to express our faith in the word of god made flesh and become really man, the faith we intend to proclaim is the same," the pope said. For centuries Catholic and mainstream Orthod-
ox churches considered the Syrian (Jacobite) church heretical because it rejected the teaching of the fifth-century Council of Chalcedon on the two natures — divine and human — in Christ. But modern scholars consider cultural differences and different understandings of the terms as being at the root of the misunderstanding, rather than a difference in faith.
cally from 15 centuries of separate development since the post-Chalcedon split. Among them are the 19th -century Cathoilic definitions of papal infallibility and primacy, as well as decisions of other church councils held since Chalcedon.

"As pastors of churches Pope John Paul referred to the Syrian church's sharing in apostolic tradi"apostolic faith"and said: tions, we are called upon "Together we confess in a special way to carry the mystery of the word of on the apostolic mission of bringing Christ and his God, made man for our salvation, who is the gifts of salvation and love image of the invisible to our generation," he God, the first born of said. every creature, in whom it "Our disunity is an obstahas pleased the father to cle to this mission.

While most of Perth enjoyed the Foundation Day long weekend, over thirty young people attended a Leader Training camp at Kent Street, Rockingham last weekend. "The Key Leaders' Camp organised by the Catholic Parish Youth movement helped me to be more aware of other youth" said Gabrielle Metcalfe, Dianella, one of the particpants. "It was a real credit to the organisers, Ivan Banks, Jill and Sue Ryan and the team" said Paul Voysey Kelmscott "because everything ran like clockwork and it was great to see total strangers get on as if they had been friends for years".
DISCOVERY "We came together"said Marie Griffin, "to learn skills for good leadership but I feel I found more in discovering who Jesus is and what he means to me." Terry Pires also felt he "was given the opportunity to increase his commitment to Jesus and his parish in Bentley. "IfeelI have a mission to share my happiness 'and joy with those who do not accept the love of Jesus because they have not yet found it", he said. Maureen Durnin and Denise Seery "felt really fortunate to have attended the camp and enjoyed the experience of togetherness as a rare gift in life." "Congratulations must go to the team, of both youth and adults who made this camp such a great success," said Father Jegorow. "I was impressed by the attentiveness and hard work of the participants and particularly pleased that young people openly shared their faith and led the small group workshops." He added "It is pleasing
confident growth of the Catholic Parish Youth movement. "This has recently been shown in the effort of producing the inter-group newsletter 'Grapevine,' and the repeated challenge to set up a system of personal subscriptions by individual members from youth groups. "The subscriptions are most important for the w ages of full-time workers." Br. Kevin Ryan, Castledare, Eileen Tierney, Medina, Marianne Calleja, ex-YCS full-timer, John Townsend, 5th-year student at Trinity, all gave personal testimonies of their faith as an introduction to one of the sessions. Jim Miolin, (C.S.A.) and John West (House of
Zoe) also gave personal talks.
ASSISTING Sr. Pauline O'Connor, of St. John of God, Subiac o and Mrs Betty O'Neil, of the Catholic Education Commission assisted the team leaders Paul Botcher, John Blandon, Shane Brown, Jo Vitale, Susan Burge, JoAnne Malkovic, Mary del Casale and Marie Sells.

THE RECORD
Corpus Christi: How Youth can honour a notable feast
If to-day we were thanking God for glorious summer warmth and ot n being so grateful for the long-awaited winter rains, we would be having a public procession through the streets to celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. This is the scene in every t own and village of Europe. Hundreds of young people grouped in their different movements and organisations would be j oining the procession, t ogether with children and adults from different sodalities and different clubs. Images of Patron Saints would be carried, flags flown, standards proudly borne, the atmosphere would be one of joyful song and prayer.
THE CENTRE The spectacle would be o ne of colour and splendour. It would be a day when young people would have cancelled all their picnics and other festivities in order to honour the presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Eucharist. Even though we do not celebrate this day with a procession in Perth, it is a day when we must give special emphasis to Jesus Christ and the Eucharist. The Blessed Eucharist has been and always will be the very centre of our Catholic faith and this means attendance at Sunday Mass and even weekday Mass. Over the centuries our p articular belief in and veneration of the Eucharist has been the centre of our faith. Iremember in my school days the Sisters and Brothers frequently placed before us the practice of attending daily Mass.
OLDER
I sometimes wonder as I celebrate morning Mass with mostly older people whether they did not first begin this praiseworthy Practice even as young Children. It is said to see only the older generation faithful to regular daily Mass although the roster of

WEEKDAYS

I often hear it said that Jesus Christ is the reason for youth activities, but I hastily add that all our dances, meetings, picnics, camps, sports and functions only have value because of a real love for Jesus Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist. I am pleased that the Mass is sought after by many of our young people and that they especially enjoy the informal Mass in a camp setting. However, these Masses
I challenge young people to show that they have really have come to a deeper love of the Mass from an informal setting by making it a practice to attend Mass on weekdays, to attend Mass in its ordinary everyday celebration where the individual must make an extra effort to arouse personal feelings of love and devotion without the external aids of a camp or retreat atmosphere. "Unless you eat and drink my Blood" said Jesus "you will not have life in you". During my years at the Cathedral I was always impressed by the regular attendance of weekday Mass of nurses, teachers, office workers, labourers and even football stars. They showed they believed the words of Jesus. FR. JOHN JEGOROW

New-stylepapal talks unlike any in history
Catholics warned about Ku Klux Klan
VATICAN CITY (NC) — For the past eight months Pope John Paul II has engaged in what Vatican observers and officials describe as anew, fascinating and different style of papal teaching.
LAFAYETTE, Indiana (NC) — Bishop Gallagher and the Priests' Senate of the diocese of Lafayette have warned Catholics against membership in the Ku Klux Klan and other "explicitly racist organisations."
The object of their comments is the weekly papal general audience. Since last September 5 the pope's weekly talks — with a few exceptions on special occasions — have been discussions of marriage. But the series of talks, unlike any other papal audience talks in modern history, has been an indepth philosophical and t heological reflection, complete with footnotes, on the nature of marriage and the husband-wife relationship. He noted at the beginning that his talks were meant to be a contribution to this autumn's world Synod of Bishops, which will discuss the role of the Christian family in the modern world.
WRITING "He's setting a framework for the synod," said a Vatican official involved in synod preparations. He described the talks as an effort to begin the synod from the perspective of revelation and reflection on God's word, rather than usingcontemporary sociological data and cultural trends as the primary frame of reference. The audience talks, according to several people, were probably written for the most part last summer while the pope was living at his summer villa in Castelgandolfo. south of Rome. It is believed he consulted specialists in a variety of fields, including medical science, Scripture, philosophy and systematic theology. But the writing is almost all of his own.
SOURCES A major criticism of the t alks is that scarcely anyone among the thousands of visitors at the W ednesday general audiences understands the complex, intellectual analyses and arguments that he is making. Every week his addresses abound with statements far more complicated and difficult to understand than the following -- a comment on what the pope called "the theological aspect ethos of the body" as seen in Genesis:
ANOMALY On the other hand, a scholar said, "I kind of admire him for it." The pope's attitude, he said, seemed to be: "This is what I'm going to do, and if you're not interested you don't have to come." He described it as an anomaly that Pope John Paul was not gearing his audience addresses to a popular level but still drew large, enthusiastic
audiences with his popular charisma. One often gets the feeling that if Cardinal Karol W ojtyla of Cracow, Poland, had not been elected pope he might n ow be giving these audiences talks as lectures to his students at the University of Lublin in Poland, where he taught.
PROBLEM Whatever reaction one may have to the appropriateness of such material for general audiences, it is something new for a pope to engage publicly in his own theological research and writing. And it is here that some observers see a significant aspect of the pope's thinking about his role in the church. Here is a summary of the way one analyst expressed it:
The pope views confusion and lack of sound theological perspectives as one of the main problems — and the source of many other problems — in the church today. Regarding the immediate purpose of the talks as a contribution to the 1980 synod on the Christian family, he is seeking io direct the thinking of the synod fathers toward the affirmation-of the fundamental Christian beliefs about marriage and family as the basis for discussing contemporary p roblems, instead of b eginning with the problems. In a broader perspective, he is, by his example of teaching, telling bishops t he kind of thing he expects from them as the chief teachers and guardians of the faith in their own dioceses.
Supporting this analysis are some other acts by Pope John Paul, notably his appointment recently of a Jesuit biblical scholar, Father Carlo Martini, as head of the key Italian A rchdiocese of Milan, and his apostolic letter marking the 16th centenary of St. Basil the Great. The whole tone of the papal letter suggests that Pope John Paul sees the ideal bishop as one who combines personal holiness, pastoral zeal and deep learning. For the pope to engage in serious theological ,study, writing and !preaching, in addition tol his heavy schedule of diplomatic, pastoral, administrative and ceremonial duties, is a signal to other bishops that this is an important part of their pastoral ministry.
" We are aware of explicit efforts to recruit Catholics to join the forces of overt racism," said Bishop Gallagher and the Priests' Senate in a pastoral statement on racism. "We must be cautious never to be exploited by those who would convert our anxiety to hatred. "Specifically, Catholics should avoid all association with such groups as the Ku Klux Klan and any other explicitly racist organisations. "It is ironic than an organisation which in times past persecuted and oppressed catholics is now recruiting them."
US youth's 'worship of Sterility' deplored
NEW YORK (NC) — Wide spread attitudes among the current generation of A merican youth amount to a worship of sterility, author and editor Midge Decter said at the John Courtney Murray lecture in New York.
These attitudes touched on the meaning of human existence, and led to a rejection of the biblical command to be fruitful and multiply, Ms. Decte said. "The worship of sterility is now spreading and finding ardent converts among the youth," she said, citing contemporary views on contraception, abortion, sterilisation and homosexuality. Ms. Decter, who is Jewish gave the John Courtney Murray lecture, which is held annually at the Harvard Club under Jesuit sponsorship. The lecture is named for a Jesuit priest who was noted for his work in church-State theory and w ho influenced the authors of the Vatican II Declaration on Religious Freedom. Father Murray died in 1967.
'TROUBLING' Ms. Dector noted the e xtraordinary attention given to the current generation of youth. She said that troubling tendencies had been interpreted as achievements to be celebrated. The "electronic din" in which youth were often enveloped was interpreted as a new order of art, whereas it actually reflected an inability to
deal with solitude, she said. Disinclination to remain in school or accept its disciplines was interpreted as a sign youth were seeking new ways of life. But it actually amounted to a rejection of the difficult, she commented. Similarly, she added, drug use was interpreted as an effort to expand human consciousness but actually represented a replacement for the pacifier of infancy. She cited the medical phrase "failure to thrive", used to describe a condition of certain infants. "The best-fed and most gingerly treated generation the world has ever seen failed to thrive." Ms Decter said. Whereas childlessness was once understood as a deprivation that might be overcome but would not be consciously chosen, she said, young people today are asserting an obligation to disobey the biblical command to multiply.
hood as a form of oppression. Although feminists claimed they wished also to liberate men, theyactually "unleashed a current of hostility and abuse" that poisoned the relationship of the sexes, Ms. Decter stated. She also said:
'FRUITLESS' • Assertions that differences between the sexes were merely learned, were "pro sterility" and attacked the natural order. This could lead quickly to approval of
despair.

MOTHERHOOD This attitude was connected with the movement to stop economic growth and to control population and led to an assault on motherhood from several directions, she said. She took issue with seven feminists as Betty Friedan and Simone de Beauvoir, who she said had described mother-
homosexual relations, which "are and are meant to be fruitless and sterile." • The human potential m ovement was an "enthronement of simple selfishness": "This maybe the first time in history that selfishness had been preached as a higher form of idealism." • Consciously chosen sterility, in the literal sense, was a condition that "seeps into all of life," and left couples selfabsorbed and eventually dissatisfied with each other and with themselves. It also amounted to self hatred, she said. Moreover, the fear of adult life present in 1960s youth and now turned to hatred would result in

Anti-poverty Campaigning $8.7 million expected
W ASHINGTON (NC) — Contributions to the November 1979 appeal for the Campaign for Human Development ( CHD), the Catholic' Church's major domestic anti-poverty programme are expected to reach $8,772,274. That made it the most successful effort in the Campaign's 10-year history, said the CHD's e xecutive director. Father Marvin Mottet. Twenty-five percent of the funds collected in parish appeals in a diocese is retained by the diocese for local distribution; the rest is sent to the CHD office for allocation nationally. The national share of the 1979 collection will be $6,579,206. Father Mottet said that the results of the appeal demonstrate "a continuing commitment on the part of the Catholic community to social justice issues and to addressing the causes of poverty."
TO THE EDITOR School funding 'endangers choice'
Sir, For some years now, Australian Catholics have been envious of their Dutch fellows because of the full finance non-government schools receive in Holland.

Mr Struik's warning about government interference with schools (The Record, May 22) makes one pause. There are very strong pressures to have control proportionate to aid in Australia. Professor Walker made a similar point in an address to a conference on higher education a few days earlier, and remarks by Dr Praetz at a meeting of the Australian Association for the Study of Religion was even more
disturbing because it located similar control within the Catholic system. Freedom is a more important value than equality, harmful as gross inequality is. Justice is the basis of freedom, as it is a remedy for inequality. Justice in government education funding — something like Mrs M. Slattery's proposal at the National Catholic Education Conference, which has not been reported —

is an obligation on the State. All children being equal citizens, all are entitled to aid according to their parents' economic situation, irrespective of the kind of school they attend. It is my belief that the present funding system, grateful as we must be for any support, endangers freedom of parental choice, Church-State separation, and the government-school system. JOHN W.

That West Australian hockey, which for several years has been in the forefront of the game in Australia, will retain its high position, is practically guaranteed by the fouryear plan to maintain the standard which got under way last week with comprehensive junior coaching scheme. The scheme, which was designed by the coaching committee of the W.A. Hockey Association, ran for five days at the Commonwealth hockey stadium where a panel of present and former Australian and State players supervised talented juniors between the ages of 13 and 18. In view of the outstanding success of West Australian players in interstate and international competition there c ould not be better coaches for the young players. The scope of the scheme can be gauged by the fact that the boys in the coaching scheme were selected from more than 200 nominations from metropolitan clubs. The boys should benefit substantially from the c oaching which was intense for the period of the "school" and in the future some of the them should emulate the feats of such players as Charlesworth, Aggiss, the Pearces and other who contributed to playing the name of Western Australia high on the list of hockey greatness.

An intriguing aspect of the Moscow Olympic Games boycott has been pointed out by people interested in amateur sport. They remark on the lack of statements or of action against England arising from the British Rugby Union Lions team's tour of South Africa which had been widely opposed because of South Africa's apartheid policy. Russia, they say, has been one of the countries which have supported bans on other countries which have had sporting links with South Africa but it has not banned the British team from competing at Moscow. Whether there will be any future reaction by African or other black countries against Britain remains to be seen, writes Frank Hyde in the "Catholic Weekly". The issue might arise when acceptances are received for the next Commonwealth Games which are to be held in Brisbane. * 4,
RACE TALK By ROD EVANS TOSS SINCERE returned to racing at Belmont on Saturday with a brilliant all-the-way win and appears set fora very promising career. This two-year-old galloper shows a heap of potential and should have little trouble in scoring again at his next outing. S WAN PRIDE was another first-up performer that gave a strong indication that he will s oon return to the winners circle. A winner of five races including the Cans Diamond Stakes, SWANS PRIDE has shown a lot of ability and is definitely one to follow over the coming weeks. SPLENDID VALLEY looked a certainty beaten when severely checked 200 metres from the finish of the Maniana Handicap (2D) and did well to run third. Having his first race start, this two-year-old colt showed good speed to be just behind the leader throughout and made a very good recovery from the check to finish half a length from the winner at the post.

BRECHIN CASTLE was considered disappointing by most racegoers when she was beaten into second place by the very promising Santa Cavalier on Saturday.
