Video aids boost for deaf
Instead of English, Greek or Italian, the "languages" at a national meeting for Catholic Hearing Impaired people in Melbourne last week were signed language, finger-spelling and oral commuinication. "The Mass was in the language of the people" said Father Paul Pitzen, Perth, Chaplain to the deaf, who was main celebrant of the Mass and homilist. Also attending the conference was Mrs. Barbara Harris, of the W.A. Catholic Pastoral Institute, who conducted a special workshop on the preparation of liturgy for hearing-impaired people. As part of the preparation, all participants had a copy of the gospel text of the multiplication of loaves. Slides were shown on scenes from the story and discussion was held on dramatic presentation of the story.
REAR SCREEN Small groups then began preparing thoughts for the homily, prayers of intercession and the communion reflection. With the help of a projector, slides were chosen to best reflect the prayers and reflections.
Artists made some original drawings for display during the Mass and transparencies were made of the main points of the gospel. Mrs Harris explained that what was accomplished in one hour at the conference would normally be spread over a week in Perth. A special rear projection screen had been brought from Perth and it was place behind and above the tallest of the four priest celebrants. The rear projection method left the front of the sanctuary free of projectors, electric leads.
MIRROR The absence of interpreters allowed the congregation to concentrate on what was happening at the altar. In the free area in front of the altar the gospel was presented dramatically and details projected on to the screen made it necessary for the priest giving the homily to make a minimum of manual communication to get

across the meaning of the reflection. To follow what was being projected on the screen above him, Father Pitzen used a small mirror on the altar. For the congregation the whole room had been looped with an electric wire that allowed people with hearing aids to pick up the amplifier signal direct without interference.
CLUES Father Pitzen explained that in a normal church an electric loop could also be installed but it might be restricted to certain seats at the front. People took part in the musical segments by using percussion instruments. Visual clues were given so that they could keep time with the music from guitar and organ. The hearing-impaired people present were impressed with this new experience of liturgy.
'EXCELLENT' "Excellent" was the comrnent of a university professor, totally deaf from•birth. Another siad: "We read the Scriptures and we understand with our heads but when you asked what does it mean from the inside I have never t hought about that before. "The story means more to me now." "The story", said another, "will always bring to me the pictures of what we did today."
SHARING For another the total experience was a challenge toward growth, she said. "The sharing of the loaves and fishes is like us sharing our gifts here," she added. I felt silly being in the dramatization of the Gospel at first, thenIthought of the little boy and I got really involved helping others to understand." Perhaps the most telling of all was: "This is the first time anyone has ever asked us to prepare anything for the Liturgy." To stimulate family discussion afterwards those present were given copies of booklets that are distributed at West Australian Masses for the deaf, giving background reading activities and ideas for family prayer. Mrs Harris explained that the techniques demonstrated at the national (CONTINUED P.3),

Let it be clear that the issue is not with revelations about juvenile promiscuity, however lurid.

'You can't be a Catholic without being ecumenical': Cardinal ST. LOUIS (NC) — "You cannot really be Roman Catholic today without being ecumenical," Cardinal Hume of Westminster told an interfaith gathering here. He said the Pope John Paul II is "very ecumenical." Since the Second Vatican Council's decree on ecumenism, working for reunion had become an essential part of Roman Catholic life, the English Benedictine Cardinal said, pointing out that the positions adopted less than 20 years ago made Catholics "latecomers" on the ecumenical scene. Cardinal Hume, a member of the Vatican's Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, has also been appointed to the Vatican's new commission to work toward reuniting the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches.
POPE'S VIEW The pope's own experience was primarily with the Orthodox, the cardinal said, and he was "very determined to get our relationship with the Orthodox right." Cardinal Hume suggested that the pope would take "very definite steps" to do so. The British prelate said that he had no inside information but that he believed Pope John Paul II was similarly inclined to pursue unification with the Church of England. "I know quite definitely that he is beginning to push," the cardinal said.
NEW BODY? He predicted that with publication sometime in 1981 of the joint works of an 11-year-old organization of Anglican and Roman Catholic bishops, the pope and the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury would form a new commission which may take steps toward reunification.

He said that there was a lot of truth to the complaint that the ecumenical movement was stagnating. Initially, "there was a tendency to push aside slightly those things which could be called controversial issues," he said.
ISSUES "I believe very firmly that we shouldn't just go on pussyfooting around until such time as we face up to the big issues that divide." He said that such issues included the primacy of Peter, Anglican holy
orders and intercommunion. He subsequently said that in the ecumenical point of view, the Anglican ordination of women is "a distraction." The fact it has occured at this stage of ecumenical dialogue is "a thousand pities, and that's whether you agree with the concept of ordaining women 'or don't agree."

Holy Sepulchre basilica doors from Australia
Two large bronze doors, designed and made in Australia, were recently delivered to the chapel of the Bles4d Sacrament in the Holy Sepulchre basilica in Jerusalem. The doors, 12 ft high were designed by Mr Frank Gatt, of Melbourne. The design incorporates in panels the Risen Saviour, the papal insignia, the Franciscan coat of arms and the Crusader Cross of Jerusalem. Mr Gatt gave his time free to complete the doors. Alitalia and Zim Israeli shipped the two-tonne load free of charge. The project was initiated and organised by Mrs Connie Barber who received donations from all parts of Australia for the gift which is inscribed "Donated by the People of Australia".

Pastoral Letter of the Australian Episcopal Conference Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul 1980 Reverend Fathers and Dear People of God, Today is the Solemnity of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, a day on which we are asked to remember the successor of St Peter, Pope John Paul II, and to pray that Almighty God will preserve and direct him in his onerous task of guiding the destiny of Christ's Church on earth. Conscious of his serious responsibility, Pope John Paul has frequently asked the charity of our prayers. His loyal sons and daughters will certainly see that he does not ask in vain. As you know, there was a special meeting of the College of Cardinals last November. One of the most important matters discussed was the effect of worldwide inflation on the financial resources of the Holy See. In fact, the income from the Holy See's patrimony in property and investments and of its other institutional sources of possible income are insufficient to cover the costs of the central government of the Church and of the Pope's universal mission of charity. The Holy See's enormous financial burden cannot be met without greater generosity on the part of the f aithful throughout the world and particularly through their contributions to "Peter's Pence". Unfortunately, damage has been caused by irresponsible media speculation about the extent of the Holy See's so-called 'wealth'. Where does the money go? I. The Holy See not only makes generous donations to help the victims of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods and famines, but also provides considerable help for refugees, displaced
persons and those persecuted for 'political' reasons. The Holy See also contributes to many projects of the United Nations and its agencies, as well as to other non-governmental projects for the human development and support of Third World Countries. There are, for example, a fund for South America and a fund for Africa, which subsidise Church sponsored developmental projects. 3. There is the indispensable maintenance and operation of the Vatican as the Church's central administration — the Sacred Congregations which make up the government of the Church, various commissions and Offices. The adjustment of the salaries of some 3,000 clerical and lay employees to meet rising costs as well as the requirements of social justice, have greatly increased the Holy See's financial burden. Pope John Paul has told us that, compared with what the contemporary world spends on armaments, the Holy See's financial requirements are "ultra-modest". But they are still, of necessity, considerable. The present Pope has put unprecedented momentum behind the Church's universal mission. Knowing his many and heavy commitments, we are sure that you, his faithful people will be most willing to assist him. Peter's Pence is one of our main links with the Holy See. It gives the People of God a personal opportunity to share with our Holy Father in a practical way his universal mission as Supreme Pastor. This year, by our fervent prayer and our real generosity , may we show the deep loyalty we have for the Vicar of Christ. The Bishops of Australia. 2.
Aids for the deaf (from P.1) meeting could be an incentive for every parish to do more for the increasing number of hearingimpaired people. It was often thought that the only way to help such people was by the use of Interpreters at either side of the altar, she said. This was not always possible for a parish nor necessary, she added.
Mrs. Harris mentioned that there were some problems experienced in changing the celebration format. After 18 months' experience in Western Australia with this type of Liturgical preparation and celebration, the deaf/ hearing - impaired people opted for this method rather than a

Mass signed with interpreters.
PROBLEM The experience of Western Australia, too, Mrs. Harris added, had also indicated that the deaf/ hearing - impaired communities were being drawn closer together. Each person was being accepted for what he or she was rather than discriminated against because of a particular "school" about communication — signer, cuer, fingerspeller, oralist; or total communicator. The problem of language development is another problem area. Mrs. Harris said that the problem was not solved, for example, by merely signing the word or fingerspelling it. The seriousness of the difficulty, she says, is only realized by those closely involved or working with the deaf/ hearing-impaired people.
The Eucharistic Prayers present some very real difficulties in this regard. At present the Eucharistic Prayer is being prayed by the priest supported by overhead projection of both words and pictures. This helps people to see and hear the proclamation as more than just abstract lepers or words. With 1981 being declared the International Year of the Disabled Person (IYODP), Mrs. Harris mentioned that the West Australian Association for Catholic Deaf would be looking at ways t o encourage parishes to provide, with little inconvenience or financial investment, the best means to integrate deaf/ hearing - impaired people into their parishes.

VATICAN DEFICIT RISES
LONDON (NC) — The Vatican had a deficit in 1979 of about $25.5 million, about 25 percent higher than anticipated, according to an article in the "Sunday Times" of London. "Unless there are radical improvements either in its income or in its financial management, in fact, the Vatican will be — in a bookkeeping sense — bankrupt in about five years," said the article, written by Tana de Zulueta and Francesco D'Andrea. (In Rome, Vatican Press s pokesman, Father Romeo Panciroli, told NC News that the Times' figures might be approximately correct, but final figures for last year were not available. He said that the article was right in reporting an increase over the predicted deficit, but he could not verify the amount.) Last November, the Vatican issued a statement saying the 1979 deficit would be $20.24 million. The statement was issued following a special five-clay meeting of the world's cardinals to discuss Vatican finances. The article also said that the Peter's Pence collection has risen substantially because of the more charismatic personality of Pope John Paul II. The collection had dwindled to $3.5 million under Pope Paul VI and the collection in 1978, the year Pope John Paul II was elected, was $5.8 million, it added. The Peter's Pence figures for 1978 were given to the cardinals at their November meeting but w ere not revealed publicly. One U.S. cardinal told NC News, however, that the collection for 1978 was $10 million, of which $6 million came from the United States.
"The recent attitude of the minister of the Department for Religious Affairs and a considerable number of Indonesian government o fficials places the church of Indonesia in an unsettling quandary. "At this moment it is not known how long foreign missionaries will be allowed to remain in Indonesia," the report says. According to the report, the bishops are doing all they can to promote native vocations and have been developing lay ministers "qualified both in philosophy and theology" to fill partially the gap caused by the priest shortage. "It is incredible that outmoded law permits them to baptize only in the instance of danger of death and does not permit them to be qualified witnesses at marriages," the report commented.
Lay Ministers It added that "a partial solution to our dilemma is an establishment of a lay ministry officially recognised by the church for such sacraments as solemn baptism, marriages and even for the anointing of the sick. "Previous laws no longer can pretend to be legitimate if they negate that possibility. "The rights of the Christian community take precedence." But the report said that even with the immediate expansion of lay ministries "there is still no provision for 60-80 percent of the faithful to celebrate the central mystery of our faith, the Eucharist, more than two or
mission be granted to ordain dedicated married men to the priesthood," it said. The report also criticized the Vatican's Congregation for Sacraments and Divine Worship for its slowness in allowing cultural adaption in the liturgy. "It is incredible that still very little leeway is given," said the bishops. "A liturgy totally Western in framework and restricted as such does not provide for an authentic act of worship, much less a meaningful one for the people," the report said. "This we consider unjust to the people." Only two percent of Indonesia's 151 million people profess Catholicism. Ninety percent are Moslems. Catholic missionary activity was completely banned in large areas of Indonesia until the country gained independence in 1945. It was a Dutch colony until 1942. From 1942 to 1945, it was under Japanese occupation. A period of rapid missionary expansion followed independence, and in 1961 the Indonesian hierarchy was established. But in an atmosphere of nationalism, all foreigners were banned from teaching in Indonesian schools, and many prospective missionaries met delays or refusals when they applied to enter Indonesia. There is about one priest per 2,000 Catholics in Indonesia, according to 1977 Vatican statistics, but the country has over half the parishes in Asia that are without a head. In addition, a number of parishes are headed by unordained Religious or by lay persons.

Planned Parenthood attacked; teenagers' sexual activity ALBANY, N.Y. (NC) — Planned Parenthood's promotion of the use of contraceptives by teenagers has led some critics to say that the organization is contributing to an increase in teenage pregnancies, abortion, venereal disease and promiscuity. Dr. James Ford and attorney Michael Schwartz of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, say that Planned Parenthood (PP) has failed to solve the problem of teenage p regnancy and has instead "created a new clientele for PP services." Schwartz says that PP has helped make premarita 1 sexual intimacy appear acceptable and says government funding makes the organization appear legitimate as well. PP, however, denies that it can be blamed for the increase in teenage sexual activity and says the problem would be worse if it were not for PP's efforts.
Concern about PP and its efforts to influence y ouths is increasing among observers of the White House conference on Families, where proposals to mandate sex education in schools will be made this summer. Critics note that PP proposes a very definite style of sex education and fear that this style will be pushed into the schools. PP's pamphlet "You've Changed the Combination," for example, offers youngsters this advice on intercourse: "If this is a girl you've just met and she agrees, you're in the clear provided that she's old enough to have some sense."
RISE
One critic of PP sex education programs, Jacqueline Kasun, in an article
Ford and Schwartz point out that between 1971 and 1976, while the number of teenagers using contraceptives quadrupled from 300,000 to 1.2 million and while contraceptive education spread to more and more schools, premarital pregnancy increased by 45 percent, teenage sexual activity increased by 41 p ercent and out -ofwedlock berths increased by 18 percent. Schwartz blamed PP for not advising youths that t here is a high rate of failure with oral contraceptives among youths for reasons not fully understood by the medical community.

Planned Parenthood claims that its activity has f orestalled 600,000 intended pregnancies in one year and claims that t here is no link between its education programmes and sexual activity. PP's critics, however, believe that while a link cannot be proven, it is a r easonable conclusion. They noted that, between 1 971 and 1978, while PP was increasing its efforts in contraceptive education and while the adolescent female population was decreasing by almost 48,000, the number of t eenage pregnancies increased by 583 and the number of teenage abortions by 5,084 in New Y ork State alone.

Brother John Gibson was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Murphy of Concord, becoming one of the few priests in the male nursing order. The Hospitaller Brothers have the privilege granted in 1572 by Pope St. Pius V that certain members of the brotherhood may be ordained to the priesthood in order to provide for the needs of the Brothers and their patients. Father Gibson was one the first Australians to join the St John of God Brothers after their establishment at Morrisset NSW in 1947. He has served as master of formation, novice master, local and provincial superior.

Confusion on sexual issues; birth control
Some Catholics may be confused about contraception issues and ignorant of natural alternatives because it suits them, a natural family planning consultant said this week. "Confusion arises in Catholic circles because people are getting a different story from whichever priest they are talking to, so the Catholic message is clearly: Do what you like" s aid Mrs. Maureen Chamberlain of the Perth Natural Family Planning Office. "Many have got guilty consciences, claim that the natural method does not work for them and then say it is all right to make up their own mind. "We are keeping the disdiscussion under covers; it is not mentioned in the pulpit and never taught in the schools.
ALL RIGHT? Pregnancy Help secretary, Mrs Pam MILLER (left) and Mrs Maureen CHAMBERLAIN, pictured inspecting the new phone answering equipment installed last week.
New automatic phone service for Pregnancy Help; $1,000 gift A country reader of The Record saw an appeal from Pregnancy Help and has donated $1000 to install a new automatic phone service in the Perth Pregnancy Help Office. The new equipment was installed and connected last week. The latest answering machine means that a caller, at any hour of the day or night, will be s witched through immediately to the particular counsellor on duty. Until now the phone has been attended directly only during office hours. A fter hours a taped message had to be connected to the number of the counsellor at home.
OLD WAY l'he caller then had to listen for the duty number and make a second call, and it was feared that person in distress might have been deterred by this impersonal greeting. The new system has a second telephone circuit SO that the incoming call is d iverted to a particular
counsellor's number at home and the caller is immediately in live conversation with someone who can respond sympathetically to the call. The pregnancy Help service was first set up in the Centrecare offices following a pledge by Archbishop Goody that the resources of the diocese w ere available to a w oman distressed by pregnancy to the point of considering an abortion. A second Pregnancy Help service has been commenced at Rockingham recently. The Perth office is hoping that services will be established in other country centres so that people will only have to make a local phone call if they need help. Pregnancy Help depends on donations to maintain its phone services, assist-

"Most of the young Catholics I interview would not have a clue that the use of contraceptives is against the teaching of the Church. "On the other hand, they are saying that it is all right to take dangerous drugs like the contraceptive pill or to insert intrauterine devices that are abortifacients of the fertilised ovum."
TEACHING Mrs Chamberlain made her comments following a series of news reports recently in The Record on the Church and contraception: • Pope John Paul II reasserted Catholic moral teaching in the light of an opposite interpretation by Indonesian bishops: • An English pastoral c ongress called for another look, and even a change, the Church's teaching on artificial contraception; • An Australian Catholic survey showed 38 per cent saying that family planning and birth control were a problem, but most then saying that it was finance and not birth control that was the major factor in determining the size of a family. "They may be confused because they want it that way", Mrs Chamberlain continued," and I often
Fear of Russian backed attack
SYDNEY — Fear that the Russian backed Ethiopian Army is preparing for a major offensive against the Eritrean people in the Horn of Africa was expressed here recently. "Reports indicate that in the first week of June the Russians have shipped in a supply of lethal nerve gas, as well as 24 helicopter gun ships, 200 trooplifting helicopters and 200 Soviet military advisers," said Miss Valerie Browning of the Eritrean Relief Committee. It is reported that the nerve gas belongs to the GA series of nerve gases for which there is no
known antidote. "We have sent telegrams to the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser; Dr. Kurt Waldheim, the secretarygeneral of the United Nations; and Dr. Philip Potter, the general secretary of the World Council of Churches, urging intervention to stop the genocide of the Eritrean p eople" said Miss Browning.
wonder if Catholics are the only ones left talking that way any more. "Dr. Leavesley, of the Family Planning AssociAssociation, said on radio recently that natural method was a wonderful method for caring partners. "The trouble is that it means taking responsibility for the other and it takes a good partnership between people to make it work successfully. Mrs. Chamberlain pointed out that in the past 15 years there had been a revolution in the scientific discovery about intercourse and reproduction. "Now that the pill has been so discredited for older, and even younger, women, the older women has no alternative but to bring her knowledge up to date. "But such an older woman may have a marriage problem. "She may have stopped h aving intercourse because she does not like sex or because she does not have a good married relationship. "But she can still blame the Church and keep on being ignorant instead of taking responsibility for herself. "Or a women may be just fed up for being made to take responsibility alone for fertility as though men are never fertile. "This is not necessarily a man's fault. "Women say men don't want to know. "Hundreds of Catholic girls I meet plead that
because they are not marrying a Catholic, their husband will not want to know. "Yet when I explain the ovulation method to them they are really enthusiastic and are delighted to know all that happens in the fertile cycle. Mrs. Chamberlain said that even young women were terribly ignorant about their own bodies and a family planning interview often had to begin with a chart lesson showing the structure of the female body. "Many do not have a clue about how they ovulate," she said. "Not only do they know nothing about fertility; they know nothing about sexuality. "They know of no other way of expressing love other than through the genitals. "They have to be taught that fertility is a glorious thing and nothing to be afraid of.
EASY WAY "When they decide not to have intercourse a couple have to be creative in their love, which is all about being close. "With contraception a lot of loving and caring has gone out of the sexual act. "They see sexual activity as a thing they should be doing a lot and the number of times becomes important. "But so often it is the person who is not using c ontraceptives who thinks they are great.
"But clients who visit our centre who feel used in marriage and who are browned off with what has been taking place, are delighted when they are told that there is a natural easy method." Mrs. Chamberlain said that there was no money in natural family planning so the women's magazines did not write up stories about the thousands of couples using natural methods happily and successfully. "If people have a genuine moral problem on this matter then only the priest can deal with that", she added. "We do not step into the moral area and we cannot talk a person into this method if they are fundamentally opposed to it. "I feel that priests are often hearing the hard luck story from a particular woman or couple.
DRUGS "The immediate problem is what to do to stop this particular woman having more children. "This is only the symptom of what is fundamentally a problem of the marriage relationship. "Saying that a person can follow his or her own conscience may be the solution in the short term. "But if it means resorting to drugs that are lethal for her, or the IUD that is abortifacient, then it is no solution in the long term. "The reaction we receive most often after an interview is: Why didn't someone tell us to come in here sooner.

New US guidelines for marriage preparation
MIAMI (NC) — Stressing that "a wedding is a day but a marriage is a lifetime," the Archdiocese of Miami has implemented new pastoral guidelines for marriage preparation to be followed by all couples who wish to be married in the church. The guidelines, outline a s tep-by-step process which includes: • A determination by the priest or deacon that the couple is emotionally, psychologically and spiritually ready to receive the sacrament of matrimony; • A four-month preparation period during which the couple will attend e ither an Engaged
• A lack of appreciation for the spiritual and sacramental aspects of marriage.
PREGNANCY
Encounter, a series of Pre-Cana conferences, a Camino or individual instruction sessions with the priest; • A program to remove t he impediment to Catholic marriage if the priest determines a delay is necessary. The new guidelines were overwhelmingly called for and approved by the priests of the archdiocese and apply to all persons who wish to be married in the church, including widows and widowers and those already married in civil court. The guidelines for
youthful marriages approved in 1977, have been incorporated with t he waiting period changed from three to four months. Archbishop Edward McCarthy said the purpose of the guidelines was "to make every effort to ensure that couples do not e xperience the failure of marriage and the misery that accompanies divorce."
A 'DELAY'
A spokesman said the guidelines were a sign that "the church really cares about people getting married. We want people who are going into marriage to make a lifetime commitment and be happy."

REASONS Reasons for delay include: • The non-practice of the faith by the Catholic party (or parties) with no intention of returning to the practice; • A lack of readiness for marriage by reason of immaturity or undue social pressure, such as a pregnancy; • The likelihood that the couple will be separated for an extended period of time immediately following the wedding; • The fact that one or both parties are under the age of 19;
If the priest decides, after speaking to the couple, that a delay is necessary, he and the couple will work together to r emove the problem, through counselling, religious instruction, educational programs or, in the case of pregnancy or immaturity, just waiting. "Pregnancy is not a reason to be married in the church," said the spokesman, adding that he expected most couples to have no serious difficulty. During the four-month period the couple will have to attend one of several archdiocesan pro grams.
DIVORCE If at any point a couple decides it is better not to get married, "that is not our intention, that is their decision." The guidelines are an effort to reduce the percentage of marriages the end in divorce, estimated nationwide as one out of every two, and, where one party is under the age of 18, two-thirds of marriages fail. The rate is 95 percent for marriages due to pregnancy. Currently, more than half the dioceses in the United States have similar policies calling for at least four months and at most one year of marriage preparation.

Priest to decide on practise of faith and maturity STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (NC) — The Steubenville Diocese has
introduced a marriage preparation policy which requires priests to determine whether a couple desiring to marry practise their faith and have sufficient maturity to make a life-long commitment. The policy calls for a sixmonth preparation period, during which the engaged couple must attend a marriage prepartation program approved by the diocesan Family Life Office. The six-month period "helps to spare the couple the unfair situation of trying to seriously prepare for marriage amid the rush of the final weeks before the wedding day," the policy states. To assist the priest in determining the "faith readiness" of the couple and the level and quality of their present relationship, the priest is to administer a marriage readiness instrument, such as a premarital inventory, the policy states.
The required marriage preparation program, the policy says, "is not merely a series of lectures on Christian marriage, but an experience-centred process for improving communications and for providing helpful information and insights into the reality of married life." The policy recommends that the priest participate in the marriage preparation program, or at least meet the engaged couple after the completion of the program to receive the c omments and evaluation. He is also to help them p lan their wedding liturgy. In interfaith marriages, the policy encourages the
REFERRALS It also recommends the use of the Taylor Johnson Temperament Analysis or a similar instrument as a counselling tool. "If the priest is doubtful regarding the couple's readiness for marriage, he is encouraged to refer them to a Catholic social service agency or its equivalent for further evaluation," the policy says. If the woman is pregnant, or if one or both parties is under 18, the priest is required to make such a referral. If the priest decides that the marriage should be delayed, the couple may appeal against his decision to the local dean, a priest supervising a secition of the diocese.
involvement of the clergymen of both faith cornmuntiies and additional discussion of the areas of faith, church- affiliation and religious education of children. In a letter to the diocese, Bishop Albert H. Ottenweller of Steubenville said the new policy ws the result of "wide consultation throughout the diocese." "The guidelines," the bishop said, "are a serious effort to re-emphasize the holiness and sacramental character of marriage, to insist that marriage vows are a choice that only well prepared, mature persons are qualified to make, to underscore pastoral responsibility in marriage preparation."

THE JOY of Christian living is a part of life which we should all try to share. Columban Father Tom Tehan wrote in a issue of the Far East that Mission is a ecent r in joy. haring s Father Tehan mentioned the joy of a pregnant mother, the joy of children as they join in singing, the joy of groups who share deeply. Jesus, too, must have experienced joy as he spoke to people, as he healed the sick and as he blessed the children. Joy is contagious. When we really experience it, we must communicate it to others. But our joy must be sincere. It must really radiate our inner peace and happiness. Only then will our joy be convincing, andpeople will understand the true happines which the Christian life brings. Father PAT AHERN *** Cardinal McCann of Cape Town and three other South African Bishops have requested the withdrawal of the Police Amendment Bill. The cardinal said that such a discriminating Bill would only serve to increasae the terrible frustration of millions of South Africans, spread despair amongst them and create further hatred. *** Three Catholic priests have been arrested and maltreated by the Security Police in Johannesburg, South Africa. The priests have never engaged in any activity contrary to the security of the State, and are known to be dedicated to the priestly ministry. Archbishop Fitzgerald immediately intervened on behalf of the three priests, and received support for his action from the Vatican. *** A Life Formation Course for Japanese priests has been introduced at the Missionary and Pastoral Centre in Tokyo. Bishop Tomizawa, chairman of the Commission for Missionary and Pastoral affairs, said that the aim of the three-week course was ongoing formation and pastoral renewal in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council. The Bishop said that the Church in Japan was living in a period of crucial and decisive importance. *** "The Church must be continually evangelized if she is to be alert, ardent and energetic in proclaiming the Gospel . .

Jesuit on the 'big secret of life'
Father Francis Ruminski, ordained in 1971, is one of a large group of P olish missionaries w orking in Africa. Seventeen Salvatorians work in the diocese of Nichingwa and nine ofthe other fourteen priests are African. Father Ruminski stayed with the Salvatorian community at Bellevue and took part in the Polish procession at Clontarf on Corpus Christi Sunday. Father Ruminski said that a current project in his Tanzanian mission was to replace the grass roofs on the simple c hurches with iron because of the continual fire hazard.
GROWTH The first mission in the area was established in 1 924 and from a beginning of 40 Catholics there a re now four large parishes. Father Ruminski has one of these parishes with 5000 Catholics out of a population of 54.000. Islam has been in the country for the past 500 years and has a strong hold. Fr. Ruminski said: "There is an everincreasing growth in vocations and there is
cases bear children as early as ten years of age.
Father RUMINSKI great hope for the future. "In 1975 the Salvatorian Fathers established a novitiate in which there are now 50 candidates at the present time. "The catechist in each of the 17 churches is the main helper who trains y oung people in catechisim and leads the liturgy. "In the liturgy there is a gradual assimilation of the African traditional ceremonies, songs. and the use of drums and native instruments. "The parish supports a school of home science, a hospital of 36 beds, a maternity hospital of 30 beds and a leprosarium of 700 lepers. "Young women marry very early and in some
"They have to be bribed to come to the hospital for medical treatment. "If they do come, they receive vitamins and f oodstuffs for their children. "People live in simple clay, grass-roofed huts and their main occupation is growing corn, peanuts and kasava roots. "Families are large from as many a seven to 15 children.
THE YOUNG "There is great concern for the young. Due to the breaking down of the chieftain's influence in the tribe, they are slowly breaking away from parental authority. "Recently I brought in seven tons of food on account of the bad season and was able to sell it at a cheap price - it was all gone in three days", father Ruminski said. "Food and water are often in short supply". A ftera holiday and renewal course in Poland, Fr. Ruminski will return in November to his panish in the Masasi Catholic Mission, Lupaso, Tanzania. Fr.

Christian response to the problem of unemployment The Federal Minister for Employment and Youth, Mr. Viner, announced last week that our own State of Western Australia was coping best with the unemployment problem. While there had been a national increase in the numbers of unemployed, W.A. has lessened the number of unemployed by 5,000. It is a drop from 6.7 percent to 6 percent, but it is still the young who are the worst hit by this state of affairs. Our own personal reaction is often one of helplessness in facing this great problem. Many adults are of the opinion that young people do not want to work.
DESIRE? Adults base this judgement on the experience of one or two incidents. For instance, a recent advertisement in The Record for three young people only received two replies. (Perhaps our young people do not read The Record!) But the fact is that many adults did read The Record last week and the question is: How many passed on this message to young people? From the experience of other countries with
this problem before one another is vital. In one parish I have heard that a group of unemployed people regularly bake and sell cakes after Mass. They are not making a fortune in money but, nevertheless, receive an uplift in their emotional well-being.
developing technology, it is a fact of life that a small percentage of our population will always be unemployed. The Christian response is, therefore, one of accepting this fact and being prepared to help these people in need. Unemployed people will need the emotional and real financial support of those who are working. Our first priority is to ensure that we do not judge these people and call them names. It is not their fault that they cannot find work. Small community support groups are invaluable to enhance the self-esteem and worth of unemployed individuals. To keep the awareness of
HOW MANY?
Do you know how many unemployed people are struggling in our own parish community and not just the young, but more importantly, the fathers and mothers with several mouths to feed? It would be a step in the right direction just to know the number of unemployed in a parish. So often we observe the splinter in our brother's eye and never notice the plank in our own. Jesus said "Hypocrite! Take the plank out of your own eye first, and then you will see clearly enough to take the splinter out of your brother's eye". Fr. JOHN JEGOROW

Falsely accused priest has $50,000 legal costs; excused duty to pay BALTIMORE (NC): Father Bernard Pagano, the falsely accused "gentleman bandit" has been excused from most priestly duties so he can pay off $50,000 legal defence costs. Last February, Father Pagano was arrested and charged with a series of holdups committed by a soft-spoken, polite white male between 40 and 50. While the priest was on trial last August, Ronald Clouser of Brookhaven admitted committing the robberies. Father Pagano's immediate goal is to pay off his legal debts, which came to more than $70,000. Family and supporters c ontributed about $20,000, leaving a sizable balance. The Wilmington Diocese has excused him from most parish duties so he can attend to this task. "I don't think things will go back to normal in the way they had been going before," said the 54-yearold Father Pagano, now an assistant pastor at St. Patrick's Church. "It was a real shocker for me to discover how much a good defense really costs," the priest said. "I became angry when I learned the kind of money

has hard time getting shown
TORONTO (NC)—A pro-life television spot produced by the Archdiocese of Toronto for Canada-wide distribution is having a hard time getting on the air. The 60-second film and a shorter message on racial harmony were sent to 34 commercial television o utlets across the country, many of them owned or affiliated with the government-owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The spots were sent for airing as public service messages. Of the 10 replies to the a rchdiocese seven stations agreed to air the message on racism, but not the one on abortion. Three stations said both advertisements had been accepted. The pro-life message consists of crowd scenes at the Canadian National Exhibition. Toward the end a heart starts beating t hen gradually fades out. The crowd disappears and a voice observes that a crowd that size is denied the right to be born in C anada every three months. The CBC's policy for public service announcements was given in a letter to the archiocese accepting the message on racism but refusing the

it takes to hire a private investigator to do the work the police should have done in the first place. "No wonder a guy gets convicted and ends up in jail. Even if he has a good c hance for appeal, where's he to get the money? "These are some of the injustices in our system — especially when it comes to money — that have to be corrected." "What happened to me is similar to what's happened to an awful lot of people," Father Pagano said. "But I'm a priest and so I've got a lot of notoriety. That puts me in a unique position to do things for others. "The future somehow has to use all of this for a good purpose. I feel that's my responsibility. F ather Pagano continued: "The criminal justice system touches on every area of life you can think of. "It's part of the reason Ron Clouser did what he did. He and his wife ended up in divorce court. "Under the judicial system he had to pay all kinds of bills, support for his wife and the children. "He moved into a motel and soon he didn't have the money to pay for it and for his meals." Father Pagano is in the process of forming a lobbying and educational organization addressing the problems of justice called Justice for All. "If I were plain Bernie Pagano with a wife and kids, a house with a mortgage and cars that still had to be paid for, maybe I would have done things a little differently, for their benefit — like plea bargaining," he said. "I was lucky not to be black or Hispanic, or I wouldn't have stood a chance. "The fact is these people

A new U.K. diocese; role of bishops
LONDON (NC) — A new diocese of Hallam, has been created in the north of England, bringing the number of dioceses in England and Wales to 21. The see was created from territory taken from the dioceses of Leeds and Nottingham. The Hallam diocese will have 120 priests for a Catholic population of about 80,000. Heading the diocese will be Auxiliary Bishop Gerald Moverly of Leeds. The creation of the diocese is part of an effort in England and Wales to create smaller dioceses so as to better allow bishops to identify with their people. The approach was reinforced at the recent National Pastoral Congress. One recommendation asked for smallerdioceses to enable the bishop to be a father of his people and to be able to communicate easily with them as a preacher and teacher.

Man who started court Cardinal on 'true case on School prayer ministry' to now says he's sorry the handicapped WASHINGTON (NC) — Madalyn Murray O'Hair's son, William Murray, whose initial complaint about being forced to pray in public school led to the landmark Supreme Court decision banning the practice, now says he is sorry for what he did and wants to undo the damage. Murray spoke briefly at a May 20 news conference at the Capitol called to publicise efforts in Congress to remove the jurisdiction of the federal courts from school prayer cases. "I admit being beguiled and misled," said Murray about his famed atheist mother and his decision as a Baltimore teenager to stay home rather than participate in prayers at his public school. "Now that I've seen the damage, I can only urge others to help me correct that damage," added Murray, now 33, who first publicised his newfound regret a couple weeks earlier in a letter to a Baltimore newspaper. Murray, in a separate interview with the Washington Post, said that his conversion did not come overnight but was the result of several months of introspection about the concept of God and the realisation that his rejection of God had turned his life into chaos. Murray's years after the Supreme Court decision
were marked by a teenage marriage that ended in divorce, troubles in the Army, failure to latch on to a steadyjob, and finally a decision in 1975 to rejoin his mother at her atheist centre in Austin, Texas. He told the Post that what followed was two years of "pure hell". I'd forgotten what close association with a group that was that revengeful and hate-filled was like," he said. Always a social drinker, he said he was up to a quart a day by the time he left Austin. The alcoholism continued until an emotional unravelling last summer in Houston, where he locked himself in his bathroom "for several days," then fired a rifle through the door at police officers called by his wife to talk him out.

The shot missed, but Murray was arrested for attempted murder of a police officer. He pleaded guilty last
October to a reduced charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to five years' probation, according to the Post. "I began to see that as long asItried to do things my way, without God, it wasn't going to work," he told the Post. "Finally God picked me up and slapped me three or four times in the face and said, 'Would you please pay attention and go back to the (right)path again?' So I did."
ORIGIN Murray also denied that the Supreme Court case originated when the 14year-old junior high student came home one day and told his mother she would be a hypocrite if she did not do anything about school prayer. "It's beautifully dramatic, but it just simply isn't true," said Murray. Rather, his mother heard the prayers one day while taking Murray to school to see a counsellor. When she found out that the prayers were a daily occurrence, she acted.

from a tool of imperialist aggression into one which is administered by Chinese bishops, priests and believers," said Bishop Zong. The Vatican regards the association's choice of bishops as illicit because they lack Vatican approval. But the ordinations of the new bishops are regarded as valid by the Vatican because they are done by validly ordained bishops. O ver 30 Chinese bishops came to Beijing for the synod, which was the third held by the association.
It is easy to read and well set out so that it can be a reference book for people working in the field of adult educaiton or in parish work. "Emergence" traces briefly the new directions developing in the Church from a child-centred to an adult-centred religious education. It outlines the difference between the principles of child learning and of adult learning; alerts the pastoral planner to be
aware of the area of movitation of adults when organising programmes and suggests ways of assessing people's needs before initiating a programme. "Emergence" has guidelines for building the parish as a Christian c ommunity through small groups, liturgy, adult education programmes, etc. For any parish council member or other actively involved person this book
will be a useful reference book and will provide practical guidelines for building up a parish. It can be rather overpowering to see so many areas for development in a parish and the detailed planning that is required, but Brother Treston's book issues a challenge at least to try, and gives useful material to help parish councils and other interested groups progress step by step.

Catholics forced "think again" on death penalty NEW YORK (NC) — Concern for the protection of innocent life against the legal injustice of abortion laws had forced Catholics to r ethink the morality of "capricious" death penalty laws, said Bishop R ene Gracida of Pensacola-Tallahassee. Such laws were generally ineffective in preventing major crimes such as murder and rape, he said. The bishop said in the second of a Seven Shepherds lecture series on April 18 that "the teaching office of the church seems to have little to say on the morality of the death penalty." B ishop Gracida last June 17 issued a pastoral letter opposing capital punishment shortly after the execution of John Spenkelink, the first person to be executed against his will in the United States in more than 12 years. The bishop said that his execution for murder failed as a deterrent because within three days in Florida the papers carried stories of a man attacked and killed for not moving a parked car and another murdered for not turning down a radio.
NO HOPE? "The difficulty we have as Christians is that we can never arbitrarily, universally, make the judgment that there is no hope for the criminal," Bishop Gracida said in response to a question. Perhaps from a pragmatic viewpoint, persons f ound guilty of major crimes should • be "eliminated," he said, adding: "But we are not pragmatists. "We are Christians, and over and over again we know of men on death row who have undergone genuine conversions.
P AROLE "For the Christian there can be no escaping from t he sacredness of all human life. "It is not a matter of its quality... The whole Gospel of St. John teaches us that human life is sacred." Bishop Gracida said, " What is needed is a reform of the court system to bring about certain punishment for criminals." He called for a reform of the parole system, citing also "heinous crimes" c ommitted by people released on parole from Institutions for the criminally insane. T he U.S. bishops oPposed capital punishment in 1974 by a vote of 108 to 63. Last year the Catholic bishops of Florida, sup- • Porting Bishop Gracida, and the U.S. Catholic Co nference's Administrative Board, listing 1980 Political issues, registered their death opposition to the penalty. Bishop Gracida said that he planned to ask the
spring meeting of the bishops to study the m oral ramifications of death penalty laws beyond their previous brief statements. "Once you reach the position of believing capital punishment is morally unjust," said Bishop Gracida, "there is not much room for argument left." Bishop Gracida cited figures showing that the number of legal executions per year in the United States had been reduced gradually from 167 annually in the 1930s to as low as two a year in the 1960s.
OLD LAW For Christians, Bishop Gracida stressed, the death penalty would be defended solely upon scriptural grounds nor upon the legal practices of ancient Israel, where m any crimes ranging from worshiping an alien God to male homosexual-

Better buildings for handicapped
ALBANY, N.Y. (NC) — The church must be more concerned with accessability of buildings to the handicapped, said Father Richard Vosko, a consultant on liturgical art and architecture. Father Vosko indicated that this concern should show both in church buildings and through curb cuts, railings and r amp leading into churches. "Every parking lot should have at least one parking spot designed for t he handicapped," he said. "Walkways should be provided into all buildings," Father Vosko added, "and should not require a person to use steps." He noted that ramps are relatively easy to install and that even a church which has several sets of stairs, could install a zigzag ramp. A help for the blind, as well as people with canes a nd others who are unsteady on their feet, are railings on both sides of the steps leading into churches, he said. Doors for wheelchair users should be wide and inside the church vestibule there should be space enough so that a person in a wheelchair can turn around in a full circle. Inside the church, places reserved for the handicapped should be within t he congregation and should provide a clear
view of the altar. If the church seats 500, there should be a minimum of four spaces reserved for the handicapped; if it seats 1,000, there should be at least 12 spaces, Father Vosko said.

priest did not give details of the miracle. Father Passerat, whose "heroic virtues" were accepted by the congregation, was the first superior to send Redemptorist priests and Brothers to the United States. He was born April 30, 1772, in Joinville, France. He succeded St. Clement Hofbauer as vicar general of the Redemptorists in nothern Italy,
holding the post from 1820 to 1848. Father Passerat died on October 30, 1858, in Tournai, France, at the age of 86.

Sister Mary of Jesus the Good Shepherd was born Francesca De Siedliska in Roszkowa, Poland, on November 12, 1842. She founded the Institute of the Holy Family of Nazareth and died on November 21, 1902, in Rome. Her cause for canonization was introduced on December 4, 1940.
Pre-baptismal programme from Perth widely used in Australia
BATHURST: The Perth archdiocesan programme for prebaptismal instruction is being used with success in Bathurst cathedral parish. The programme was drawn up by the Perth Pastoral Institute and has been widely accepted in other dioceses of Australia. The previous ad-hoc procedure, whereby a priest sometimes managed to call and discuss the serious reponsibilities involved in the Sacrament, proved extremely unsatisfactory. "Under the old procedure, it was not always possible, when a priest asked the parents if they understood their responsibilties, to ascertain the genuineness of the parent's commitment," said Fr. Mackander, the
administrator. Two nights of one and a half hours are available to parents before the- baptism and a discussion team is on hand to help the parents. This history and meaning of the changes to the rite are explained and also the need for ongoing faith education for both parents and children. "Most people have cooperated with the new programme on the two nights required but some who are not living as Catholics have refused to attend the instructions within the Cathedral parish and have taken the easy way out by going to
neighbouring parishes where no attendance at f ormal instruction is required", said Fr. Mackander. He added that "No one is refused baptism of their child. "If they are sincere in t heir request of the church, then they will cooperate as far as they are able to do". Those who have attended the baptism evenings have found the information enlightening and have also had many erroneous ideas on Baptism corrected, especially in regard to the theological theory of "Limbo".
