Vatican's blunt condemnation of euthanasia VATICAN CITY: Following its insistent condemnation of abortion the Vatican has now issued a blunt condemnation of euthanasia as "a violation of the divine law and an offence against the dignity of the human person". dies, even that may cause given the most advanced "It is a crime against life and an attack on humanity," says the Declaration on Euthanasia released by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith today: The document clearly defines euthanasia. It is not just the intention to have an easy death without suffering.

He will become assistant to the superior general for the remaining four of the present administration's six-year term. He is assistant to Canadian Brother Gabriel McHugh. B rother Woodruff received the appointment following the resignation from the general council of another Australian, Brother Regis Hickey. Brother Woodruff, originally from Victoria, has spent 17 of his 33 teaching years on the W.A. Christian Brothers scene. Entering the Christian Brothers in 1942 he began in Geelong in a career that saw him always stationed at a boarding college. He came to W.A. in 1963 as headmaster of Aquinas College and during his six years there he supervised the construction of the new chapel, the completion of the front residential wing, and the biology laboratory and lecture theatre.
When the new W.A.S.A. Holy Spirit province was established in 1967 he became a councillor and in 1970 provincial bursar, rising to the position of provincial superior for the six years from 1972. After a Sabbatical year of study in spiritual leadership at Denver he joined St. Patrick's College Geraldton this year. In his Rome appointment he follows in the footsteps of former W.A. -S.A. provincial superior Brother Levander, now in retirement at Manning, who served in Rome as general bursar for six years. Brother Baptist Healy, also well known in Perth, is at present on the Rome staff editing the congregation's records. Other Australian Christian Brothers take it in turn to attend in Rome a three month renewal course on general religious topics and the spirit of the congregation.

The euthanasia that is condemned covers all forms of mercy killing whether of abnormal babies, mentally incurables or those placing a heavy burden on society or families. The condemnation is explicit: • No-one can permit the killing of an innocent human being, whether foetus, embryo, infant, adult, incurable or dying. • No-one can ask for the killing of himself, or another, nor consent to it impicitly or explicitly.
THE PLEA • No authority can lawfully recommend or permit such an action. A careful distinction is made between this condemnation and the imputation of guilt. People recommending euthanasia may make a genuine error of conscience and a plea for euthanasia by a gravely ill person may be really a plea for help and love. But separations that would be painful to people in full health are often rendered more bearable by nature, and illness, old age or even neglect may make the acceptance of death more easy.
DRUGS The use of painkillers may have a special significance for Christian people. Suffering for a Christian person has a special place in God's plan as a share in the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. Christians might, therefore, moderate their use of painkillers. But it would be imprudent to impose such an heroic way of acting as a general rule. Human and Christian prudence suggest that the majority use pain reme-
semiconsciousness or reduced lucidity. Those unable to speak for themselves can be presumed to wish the use of such painkillers. But painkillers that cause unconsciousness must be used in the light of the obligation of a person to fulfill moral or family duties or prepare consciously to meet Christ. Technological attitudes a re threatening to become an abuse against the dignity of the human person and Christian concept of life. The so called "right to die" does not mean by one's own hand or another's but should mean right to die peacefully with human and Christian dignity. Situations call for the application of ethical principles. Instead of the moral principle of never being obliged to use "extraordinary" means, some prefer today to distinguish between "proportionate" and disproportnate" means: • A patient may be
medical treatment even with a certain risk. The use may be even in the service of humanity. • Such treatment can be interrupted if the results fall short of expectations. • Account will be taken of the reasonable wishes of patient, family or doctors who may judge that the strain imposed is out of proportion to the benefit to be gained by the patient. • A technique cannot be obliged on a person if it is a risk or burdensome. Such a refusal by the patient is not the equivalent of suicide and may arise from a disproportion between the treatment and the benefit gained or the desire not to impose excessive expense. • At the approach of inevitable death a person may refuse treatment that would only prolong the burdensome life, provided normal care is not interrupted. In such cases the doctor need not reproach himself for failing to help the patient.
Pope to Carter on 'abundance' and peace VATICAN CITY (NC)/Pope John Paul I told President Carter that the United I States had world responsibility because of its abundance, and that freedom and human rights had to be emphasised. "Every gift that comes from God creates a r esponsibility in the recipient. This is very true of America, where god's gifts have been abundant," the Pope said. It echoed his call to Americans last October in New York's Yankee Stadium to "take of your substance and not just of your abundance" to meet the needs of the world's poor. The Pope particularly emphasised the rights of people to freedom and truth. "Freedom is fragile," he said. "Any distortion of truth
or dissemination of nontruth is an offence against freedom. "Any manipulation of public opinion, any abuse of authority or power, or, on the other hand, just the omission of vigilance, endangers the heritage of free people," the Pope said. "But even more important," he continued, "every contribution to promoting truth in charity consolidates freedom and builds up peace.

The St. John Sisters say New Norcia abbot resigns; moving f arewell to to Kalumburu Kalgoorlie
The Sisters of St. John of God say farewell to Kalgoorlie this week with the announcement that four Sisters are going to Pakistan to staff a Catholic diocesan TB hospital. On Thursday evening the mayor of Kalgoorlie will preside at a civic farewell to the remaining five Sisters of the former staff. Sister Martha Forde, the provincial superior, and other Sisters from Perth are due to be present. The departure closes 82 years' service to the Goldfields, begun when two Sisters travelling in the Murchinson answered a call for help from Hannans (later Kalgoorlie) because of the summer t yphoid epidemic. Others came to help, one
of them dying of typhoid, and for a time the Sisters conducted both a school and a hospital. The decision to close their work at Kalgoorlie was taker last July when the government declined to renew the A Class registration of the hospital b ecause of decline numbers of acute medical and surgical cases. The government was prepared to register the building as a nursing home but the Sisters felt that other Orders were already doing this work and because of the personnel and other resources that would be needed. The former St. John of
God hospital will continue under private management as a nursing home for elderly patients. Negotiations are under way for the Catholic parish to acquire some of the property and facilities. The Pakistan move is the result of a visit there last year by Perth Missions director, Father Pat Ahern.
PAKISTAN Sister Martha and Sister Cecilia from Perth, along with Mother -general Corona, formerly of Perth but now in Ireland, went to Pakistan to talk with Bishop Trindade. The only Pakistan Sister
on the staff is due to leave the hospital which is at Sialkot, 90 miles from Lahore. The St. John of God Sisters will direct the hospital for a few years to help to implement curative and preventive medical p rogrammes against turberculosis.
116 BEDS The hospital has 80 TB beds and a new wing has 36 general beds. There are also 800 TB outpatients. The St. John of God Sisters hope to leave on October 7, the feast day of their patron. Several years ago, the Sisters of St. John of God took over Holy Cross Hospital Geelong, which was handed over to the Melbourne archdiocese by a former nursing order of Sisters that was unable to continue staffing it.
Dominican under scrutiny expects exoneration BERKELEY, California (NC) — Dominican Father Edward Schillebeeckx, whose theological writings on Christ are under examination by the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, said he does not e xpect the Vatican to censure those writings.
T he Belgian -born Father Schillebeeckx, who has been a professor of theology for 22 years at the Catholic University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands, said also in an interview: • The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith runs the risk of "stopping the maturing of theological comment" if it takes too harsh a stance on c ompetent theological inquiry. • Ecumenism under Pope John Paul II has "less hope" than under Pope Paul VI.
"FALSE" Father Hans Kung, another controversial theologian, had defensible reasons for not going t o the Vatican when asked, but should have gone anyway. Father Schillebeeckx said.
The Vatican has said that Father Kung can no lo,nger teach as a Catholic theologian. Father Schillebeeckx also said that the Vatican had created a "false dilemma" for itself regarding his teachings. "If they do not repudiate my writings, then it becomes a kind of 'consecration' of my work," an implicit endorsement which may annoy some V atican theologians, Father Schillebeeckx said.
NO HERESY? A committee of nine cardinals of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, has had a report since December on discussions held that month between the 65-year-old professor and three Vatican theologians. To date the cardinals have not issued any public evaluations. Although he has not heard from the doctrinal c ongregation, Father Schillebeeckx said: "I don't think they would accuse me of heresy.

"I totally expect them to let me go free in the field of Christology."
CLASH The theologian blamed much conflict on "cultural cleavage," a clashing of beliefs of differing schools of thought, rather than on differences in dogmatic beliefs. T hose differences became apparent during the two-day discussion with the three theologians in Rome, he said. Father Schillebeeckx said that he could "talk frankly and openly with Bishop Descamps but with the other two, a Jesuit and a Dominican, it was impossible.
They did not know the thematic and systematic exegesis." "Reinterpreting dogmas in a modern way is not denying them," he said. He also observed that biblical scholarship has made "tremendous progress aided by scientific findings" during the past two decades.
KUNG
He said he sympathized with the reasons for Father Kung's widely publicized refusal to meet Vatican officials unless prior conditions were met, but the controversial theologian "should have gone" to the Vatican anyway. Father Schillebeeckx said that he and Father Kung shared "essentially the same opinions on Christology," but that they differed on infallibility, a subject on which Father Kung is criticized by the Vatican.
Abbot Bernard Rooney has resigned as Abbot of New Norcia and has been succeeded by Father Justin Bruce in the office of prior administrator. Abbot Bernard will move to Kalamburu in his office as superior of the Missio Sui Iuris, meaning a mission territory in its own right. Abbot Bernard held both positions during his term at New Norcia. Father Saenz continues a s administrator of Kalumburu which now has a community of four Benedictines. Father Justin's appointment now goes to Rome for ratification by the Abbot President and the Congregation of Bishops.
He was second rector of St. Benedict's (formerly St Ildephonsus') College from 1968 to 1971 in succession to the late Father Martin. He has been guest master and worked in a number of the New Norcia parishes since then. Abbot Bernard is originally from Sydney and studied law before entering New Norcia in 1957. He has two brothers priests and another brother a doctor in Midland.
REVIEW
Next week: A new brighter Record
•
After an interim period the situation will be reviewed and the election of an abbot will be held. Father Bernard Rooney took over from Abbot Gregory Gomez as prior administrator in 1971 and was finally blessed as abbot in 1974. The latest New Norcia appointment was supervised by two Benedictine visitors making their four-year canonical visit. Abbot Gilbert Jones of Ramsgate was assisted by Father Bernard Perez of S t. Bede's monastery, Manila. They held a chapter fora consultative vote and the appointment of a prior.
NEW MAN Father Justin was born in Maffra, Gippsland, in 1927. He studied with the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and worked for a year before entering New Norcia in 1951. He was ordained priest in 1959, appointed subprior in 1971 and prior in 1974.
Death of Bro. Verdon; notable career Brother Brian Verdon, who died earlier this week, had gained a high reputation in the field of special child care. He died of cancer in St. John of God Hospital just short of his 50th birthday. Educated in his native Melbourne, becoming a top gymnast, he commenced training with the Christian Brothers at Strathfield in 1948, being professed in 1955. His first appointments in WA were at Highgate and Kalgoorlie before his posting to Clontarf in 1965 that began a 15-year career in special child care. Both Clontarf and Castledare were at the time phasing out the post war child_ migrant programme and taking in children of disturbed or
broken families. Brother Verdon felt that any work done for the disturbed child had to be c omplemented with attention to the family's problems, too. During his two terms at Clontarf and his six years as superior at Castledare he worked towards the five-day residential week that sees children in care go home to their families on the weekend as part of their re-habilitation. He was responsible for the new classroom block at Castledare that incorporated many innovations. He was also a strong supporter of the behaviour
The New Norcia Benedictine community comprises 30 members at present including four at Kalumburu. Six of them are originally from Spain from where came hundreds of monks over the 134 years since the arrival of Salvado and Serra in 1846. Fifteen are priests and the remainder brothers. There are seven monastic students who may continue to the priesthood.

re-inforcement points system, in which the child performs positive tasks but which are seen and encouraged by the staff. Brother Brian Clery, Clontarf superior, said that Brother Verdon had set out to learn from other specialists in the field but it was often they who found they could benefit from Brother Verdon's insights. " Although a man of few words, he had the remarkable ability to instill confidence in the children and families with whom he was dealing," he said. May he rest in peace.

Bishops' national statement
POPE ON 'SHAME' OF ADAM AND EVE
EVILS OF ABORTION
The normal human response to a pregnancy is joy mingled with awe.
Of course, along with this, there are often other reactions as well. In a first pregnancy, there may be trepidation before the unknowns of childbirth and parenthood; in later pregnancies, misgiving at the prospect of more work, additional expense, new responsibility. But in the normal human response, these are far outweighed by joy, tinged with awe, that the marvel of human reproduction has been successfully achieved, and another human being given life. This is not only a marvel of biology. When, in sexual love, a man and a woman conceive a child, they are c o-operating directly with God the Creator.
"Most precious thing. . ." This is why the most precious thing in the world is a human being. There are other precious things, too, which should be valued and protected and fostered: great works of art; fine houses; beautiful scenery; rare zoological species. But completely transcending the value of all these is the value of every human being. To Christians, the source of this value is the fact that every human being is made in the image and likeness of Godl not mass-produced, like so many thousand photographers mecha nically run off from a single negative: but each one a unique masterpiece, a likeness of God individually and separately hand-drawn by him. Each human soul is directly, personally, created by God: and it is created in his image and likeness especially in this, that it is irreversibly designed by its very nature for immortality after bodily death.
Negative philosophy A sour and negative philosophy is trying to propagate the attitude that pregnancy is simply a nuisance, and parenthood nothing but a burden. In the long run, that philosophy will fail. It is trying to obliterate some of the richest certainties of adult experience, and to eradicate woman's truest aspirations. It denies life. In the short term, however, this negative philosophy is exerting considerable effort to create a pro-abortion mentality in our society. It commands powerful social pressures to persuade w omen that they are simple-minded and gullible if they go on with an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. It is trying to deny the unborn child's right to life.
HUMAN RIGHTS
We accept as a duty, laid on us by the Gospel, a vigorous concern for Human Rights: as Bishops, we make no apology for being known to champion the weak, the unwanted and the defenceless. We therefore speak out once more in defence of the unborn child's right to life. This is the greatest Human Rights issue confronting our society at the start of the 1980s. There is no human being so defenceless as an unborn Child. Yet there is none at greater risk in Australia t oday. There are upwards of 3,500 deaths a year caused by accidents on our roads; we believe that to be appalling, and we commend and support the efforts of the media and other groups to reduce that dreadful toll of human life, and to make our roads less dangerous. But it is estimated that there are more than 60,000 deaths a year by abortion; and that is an even worse human, moral and social problem.
"Most dangerousplace ",
It is far worse in the sheer number of human lives destroyed; but it is far worse also because these death are deliberately intended by the very people who should be the first to prevent them: parents; and doctors. Statistically, the most dangerous place for an Australian in 1980 is a mother's womb. .Every human being has an inviolable right to life. Rich or poor, strong or weak, young or old, born or unborn: every human life is sacred. The directly intended killing of any innocent human being whatsoever is always wrong: nothing can ever justify it. It is urgent to proclaim this truth in season and out of seas°n,2 welcome or unwelcome. But words are not enough. _ This human right, under threat as it is, needs to be hilly recognized and protected by the law. We therefore applaud those groups who are using their. rights as citizens of a democracy to organise political support for this great cause. We congratulate those parliamentarians who are

Finally, as priests of God and ministers of the Gospel, we say two words concerning the 'many, many abortions that have already determined to have enshrined in our laws full recogni- occurred.
tion and protection of this most fundamental human right. They often have to exercise considerable political courage; but in the long haul, a politician never regrets having stood up and championed the weak and the defenceless. The attitude of the Church, for all her passionate concern for the unborn, is at the same time one of understanding and compassion for the pregnant woman.
The Church's support
First, to every woman who has had an abortion, Christ offers his pardon and peace. Every experienced pastor knows personally many such women, and knows that, in case after case, they are not mindless or vicious or callous. They are often victims of fear or social pressure. Many are tormented with guilt at the memory of what they have had done. Can a woman forget the child of her womb?3 But Christ preached again and again of his willing readiness to pardon every sinner who turns to him in true repentance.
V ATICAN CITY (NC) Pope John Paul II explained the meaning of Adam and Eve's shame after they disobeyed God, in an audience talk recently. "Gone was the simplicity and purity of the original e xperience, which enabled them to communicate themselves so fully," he said. "Man and woman were intended to communicate, not just through the union by which husband and wife become one flesh, but in the communion of persons in which they were created to live," said the pope. "Their bodies were s omething underlying this communion," he continued. "Their maleness or f emaleness indicated clearly the significance of their bodies for full communion of persons," he said. "But after their disobedience, their sexuality became an obstacle in the p ersonal relationship b etween man and woman." The pope added that the shame that made Adam and Eve feel a need to hide their bodies from one another "was a sign of their separation from the love that they were created to share, the love that is of the father."
It takes great moral courage to go on with an experience of such magnitude as pregnancy and childbirth when, all around, social pressures are urging her to end it. Abortion is a great sin; but, as with every other sin, We realize that insistent voices are alleging that it is a Christ died to atone for it. He himself told us that there small thing to "get rid of' the new life in one's womb. is joy in heaven over every sinner who repents.4 In such a climate, Bishops would be straying far from How true is that saying, what a welcome it deserves, the preaching and the spirit of Christ if they were that "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-5 judgemental or censorious or harsh: if they simply and to that company we all belong. proclaimed the rights of the child and ignored the Second, we recall that abortion does not fall beyond pressures on the mother. the merciful providence of God; his tender mercies are Here again, words are not enough. over all his works.6 The abortion of a human baby does The Church in the different States offers a variety of not defeat God's power and mercy. pregnancy-support services.

Morley, called "Vatican Diplomacy and the Jews During the Holocaust 1939-1943." He said the bool claims that the Holy See interv ened only to save Catholic Jews. 'This interpretation certainly is not historical and is contradicted not only by the new 10th volume but by all the preceding ones as well," the Jesuit historian said. He noted that numerous documents published in the new book show close and trusting cooperation between the Holy See and a variety of international Jewish organizations, as well as close c ooperation in Nazio ccupied countries b etween local Jewish leaders and Vatican representatives, He cited several cases documented in the book in which Vatican representatives had already heard of pending moves against Jews by Nazis or occupation governments and had intervened before international Jewish organizations learned o f the actions and requested Vatican help. Father Graham also noted that the book, a collection of documents, was limited to recording
actions and exchanges that were in written form and preserved during the war and the intervening years. As an example he noted that historians have been able to find only one scrap of paper, the notes on a telephone conversation, regarding the Ardeatine Caves massacre in Rome. On March 24, 1944 the German S.S. under Col. Herbert Kappler carted to the Ardeatine Caves and massacred 335 italians in retaliation for a Resistance bombing the day before that killed 33 Germans. Father Graham speculated that in light of known Vatican activity in many other cases, the widespread fear of an imminent and massive German retaliation, and the Vatican's intense interest in the status of Rome as an "open city" that was threatened bythe bombing, there musthave been considerable activity in the Vatican in those two days. But only one extant document shows that the Vatican even knew about it at the time. In addition to Holy See activities on behalf of Jews, the new book documents humanitarian efforts by the Holy See for other people who were interned, prisoners of war, displaced persons and other victims of the war.
Women's League's presentation to _• . ret ng president
The Mass and meeting of the State Conference of the Catholic Women's League had a pleasing attendance. B un bury diocesan r epresentatives came from Bunbury, Busselton, Kukerin, Mount Barker and Waroona. The highlight of the interesting conference was a presentation by Bishop Healy to the retiring president, Mrs Carmel Downey. The wallet was a gift of appreciation by members for the work and loyalty given to the League till her retirement from office at the end of the conference. Bishop Healy was also handed a cheque for $1000, being the 1980 league donation for the education of a student to the priesthood. All members worked and contributed towards this donation. The league also handed over $1000 as the final instalment —$500 having already been paid — towards the Adventure Playground at the Cathe-
rine McAuley Centre. The project was part of the International Year of the Child. Sister Shelley accepted the gift on behalf of Sister Mary Martin of the centre. Thanks were expressed to all who had made the raffle a success. The winners are: first, No. 1959 phone 444 2774; second No. 6735, Blair, Scarborough; third, No. 3286, Rita Willcock. The State secretary, Mrs Pat Baldwin, gave an extensive report showing how much the league had done in the past 12 months under their charter of Charity, Work and Loyalty. A highly successful National Conference in Perth last October was part of that chievement. The new Bunbury diocesan president, Mrs Anne Power of Kukerin, gave a report and complimented t he achievements of
branches, especially those whose members travelled long distances for meetings or fund-raising. Concern for their parish and their parish priest was a feature of their branch activity, she said. At the close of the conference, Mrs Downey installed her successor, Mrs Molly Indermaur, as State and archdiocesan president. The 1980 State and archdiocesan executive is: President: Mrs Molly Indermaur; vice-presidents: Mrs Irene McCullagh and Mrs Cecilia Bradley; secretary: Mrs Pat Baldwin; treasurer: Mrs Marie Boswell; minute secretary: Mrs Mavis Purkiss; international secretary: Mrs Pat Hackett. The next executive meeting takes place at League Headquarters on Wednesday July 2 at 10 a.m.

The Catholic family and contraception
Possibly the most unclear item in the 'family squabble' in the Catholic community is contraception or the contraceptive attitude.
In U.S.A. it is reported that Catholics are divided in the way they look on 'Humanae Vitae'. Some reject it completely; others don't take it seriously; others accept The result is that many have a contraceptive attitude to human sexual intercourse. They would say that they follow the theologians of the Kosnik school and always act responsibly, according to their lights, For them, procreativity is linked to genital sex e xpression, but only as the situation requires. Keane, and his followers, still maintain the essential link of procreativity with genital sex expression, but endeavour to describe human sexuality more carefully than in the past, and, at times, seem to differ from its approach. May from Washington University retains the old concepts and terminology.
IGNORANCE Asked one day for my opinion to Humanae Vitae, I replied: "In the context of the pastoral applications Bishops of the Catholic world . . excepting the Indonesian ones . . and remembering that epikeia is always a reality in Catholic morality, I accept the encyclical of Pope Paul VI.' V atican 2 tells us to take collegiality seriously and the Bishops of the Catholic Church accepted the principles of Humanae Vitae, but wisely applied these in a pastoral manner. Of course, acceptance of the encyclical is not p opular. What seemed to happen in U.S.A. was that "Time" magazine and the news media were the first to interpret the encyclical and with the help of some W ell-intentioned but, unwise priests formed the c onsciences of many of the readers, so that there is almost a climate of `invincible ignorance', which will take some years to dissipate. A contraceptive attitude is broad and has become Popular. This is popular within marriage, but what about outside marriage? One of the sad developments today is that young People, unmarried people, are asking for the pill. What they are saying is
that "we do not trust ourselves in our intersex relationships", "we have not the self control adequate for the occasion, so its better to play safe," "We are told to express our emotions freely, to e xpress our sexuality freely and responsibly," "We feel that this means genital intercourse. "We therefore would not be acting responsibly, unless we are on the pill."
EXTREMES In America, the popularity of modern psychology, which seems to counsel great freedom in emotional expression, has led many young people away from a healthy moderation of expression Certainly the past kept the lid down tightly on emotional expression and there was a need for a greater freedom. But human nature tends to move towards extremes and that seems to be happening in intersex relationships today. The lack of spontaneity of the past has been replaced by spontaneity, but a spontaneity without reflection. And one that acts without reflection is, according to Aristotle an animal. Also there is evident an absence of moderation, and moderation is the stamp that makes one human.
NO TRUST It seems that American parents. . and Australian ones . . don't trust their daughters — or God — under modern permissive pressure. When the girl sees the challenge to premarital sex coming closer, she doesn't trust her own self control, or God's help, and deep down desiring the new experience of togetherness, of tenderness and affection, encouraged by modern psychologists to express her feelings, not repress them, . . she chooses to follow her deepest sexual desires. She has never been trained or helped to grasp the vehemence of her own sexuality, once aroused, nor to grasp the meaning of human sexuality, nor to moderate it.
REALITY She is skimming the surface of reality. She mistakes sexuality for love. She mistakes feeling for appreciation and corn-

Bishops on sex education get many requests HARTFORD, Conn. (NC) — A statement by the six Connecticut bishops on sex education in public schools has drawn an "avalanche" of positive responses, according to a church spokesman, and flak from national pro-life lobbies. In their statement the bishops urged that chastity be included in the program of sex education to be drawn up by the Connecticut Department of Education and that the public school program "not advocate or teach any one sectarian viewpoint or any amoral or naturalist doctrine." They added that parents as the primary educators of children should be involved in developing and evaluating the philosophy and objectives of sex education and should be able to examaine proposed curricula and materials before they are used in the classroom. They also cautioned parents not to allow their o wn anxieties about public school sex education to "lead to indiscriminate opposition to all classroom instruction in sexuality." The bishops' statement has prompted "an avalanche of requests" from other denominations, magazines, newspapers and public school boards
"Abortion party ruler of America": Professor
DETROIT (NC) — An "abortion party" has been "the ruler of American for the last decade," John T Noonan Jr., professor of law at the University of California, told the Catholic Health Assembly.
"The abortion party," Noonan said, "is a coalition of federal judges who are almost totally in favour of abortion, together with lawyers who have worked to give the judges the necessary legal arguments to bring about the pro-abortion decisions." "Doctors, particularly those at leading university hospitals, and the media, which are wholeheartedly in the abortion camp, make up the remaining segments of the abortion party.
"ATHEISM" "These segments came together by convergence and they made the abortion party the ruler of America for the last decade," he said. "Ionly hope as the tide of the Spirit comes in the 1980s, this country will be a different place in which to live." In the past decade, Noonan said, a "practical atheism" swept across the nation and laid the foundation for widespread acceptance of abortion. "The desire for liberty, especially sexual, free-
dom, made persons look for easy and 'acceptable' ways to remove the restrictions of pregnancy," he said. "With this came the desire to plan one's future without surprises. "Pregnancy posed a major life challenge to that desire for quick control of one's life. "These desires are forms of 'practical atheism.' We infact say we don't trust in God and we don't want him putting restrictions on our future life. "This attitude provided the cultural support for abortion to flourish."
PRIVACY? With this attitude came the use of "code words" to mask the immorality of abortion, Noonan told the delegates. The phrase, "right to privacy," was probably the best example of the use of code words and is "a symbol for a great social, secular movement," he said. This "right to privacy," the law professor said, "was a legal phrase set up to protect the sacredness of marriage, but later became the battering ram used against the family and marriage." In 1965, Noonan said, Supreme Court Justic
Douglas ruled that a State law prohibiting the sale of c ontraceptives was unconstitutional because it "violated the sacred precepts of marriage and marital privacy." In 1972, Noonan continued, Justice Brennan "turned Douglas' formula inside out," when he ruled unconstitutional a State law prohibiting the sale of contraceptives to unmarried persons. The Brennan decision, Noonan said, "was the instant made precedent" used by the Supreme Court the following year to strike down all existing laws against abortion.
R ATIONALE The justices cited as the rationale for the decision the right of an individual to conceive or bear children, regardless of age or marital status. "That ruling gave us the most radical law on abortion in the world," Noonan said. " You might have thought that was enough for abortion backers, but a 'mysterious dynamism' moved them forward." This "mysterious dynamism," he continued, in future decisions allowed the "right to privacy" to exclude the father from
having anything to say about the abortion decision of the mother, and finally to make parents powerless to prevent their daughter from having an abortion. They dynamism continued to operate, he noted, in the push for federal funding of abortions.
ADVICE Meanwhile, he advised health care personnel to seek to educate the public to the workings of the abortion forces. "Termination of pregnancy" should be replaced by "methods of killing, which are the right words to use whenever you destroy any living thing," he said, and "fetus," which is "fashionable term," should be r eplaced by "unborn child." "Speak out for unborn children," Noonan urge the health assembly participants. "You are witnessing as well as educating. "That witness doesn't come from a misplaced righteousness or fanatical hostility toward those who don't see it the way we see it,but from love for the mother and her unborn child."

seeking copies, said F ather Edmund S. Nadolny, director of the radio and television office in the Archdiocese of Hartford. "We're getting a lot of Protestant responses," he said "and calls from all over the country as well as letters daily." "All have been positive, he added. The United States Coalition for Life attacked the statement. Mrs. Randy Engel, director of the Coalition, stated. "We must object to the bottom line — that is, classroom sex education, per se, will go unopposed by the church," she said. B ecause the group thinks chastity cannot be taught in public schools without also teaching about the sex act itself and about birth control techniques, "we must reject in principle classroom sex education programs," Mrs Engel said.
POPE TO CARTER (from P 1) great new .force is set at work for the service of humanity." In his public speech to t he pope, President Carter made a point stressing the common goals of "the dignity of man, the security of nations, and peace" shared by the Catholic Church and U.S. policy. The pope and the U.S. President held a private c onversation for 63 minutes and then they assembled for the formal exchange of greetings and gifts. Pope John Paul in his speech to the President prayed for the success of "all worthy endeavours at reconciliation and c ooperation" in the Middle East -- But w ithout specifically supporting the controversial camp David accords between Israel and Egypt engineered by President Carter. He called "the question of Jerusalem" a central issue for a "just peace" in the Middle East and urged that "just attention be given to the issues affecting Lebanon and to the whole Palestinian problem." But his general comments did not include explicit mention either of an international or internationally guaranteed status of Jerusalem or of "the rights of the Palestinian people,"as past Vatican policy statements on the Middle East often have.

Pope "world leader with something to say" LATROBE, Pennsylvania (NC) — Pope John Paul II is a "very great communicator of the things of God," said Cardinal George Basil Hume of Westminister.
II "walked right onto the world stage" and "provided leadership where there wasn't any," the cardinal said. He continued: People in their lives need hope, encouragement. "If they are encouraged to believe, if they are reassured there is a God who loves them, that things make sense in their lives, then they've got grounds for hope. "That's what hope is." People today were searching for "that something more," the cardinal said.
The pope has emerged as a world leader "with something to say," Cardinal Hume said on a visit here. "And he says it with conviction, with firmness. People want to hear it. "There is nothing wishywashy about him." Speaking of the six trips outside Italy that the pope has taken since his election in 1978, Cardinal Hume said: "He has taken very seriously the role of world evangelizer." Although the trips are called "pastoral visits," the pope meets ecumenical groups and church leaders in every country, the cardinal noted. And in such meetings the pope's "stature as a man and as a spiritual man...without question communicates itself very stongly," he said.

The pope had "a great vision of man, the fullness of man," Cardinal Hume said. The pope's first encyclical, "Redemptor Hominis" (Redeemer of Man), "is one of the great writings since Newman (Cardinal John Henry Newman, 19th century English theologian and prose stylist)," he added. "It carries a great vision of what man is, a child of Christ." The pope was a philosopher and a poet, the cardinal said. He was analytical but also had an "intuitive sense of what man is," he said. In 1978, when therelust wasn't any 'world' church leader," Pope John Paul
The death on June 7 of novelist Henry Miller, author of several sexually explicit books, has highlighted the perennial tension between morality and literary artistry. Miller, whose 1934 novel "Tropic of Cancer" was banned in the United States until 1964, "did not want be called a pornographer, but that's what he was," said Jesuit Father Morton Hill, director of Morality in Media, when contacted for comment by NC News Service. Miller "opened the floodgates" and was "probably at the heart of the sexual explosion we have now," Father Hill said. The priest called the U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1964 which permitted the sale of "Tropic of Cancer" in the United
States "very, very regrettable." The decision "had a tremendous influence on other cases," he said.
"STYLIST" James Haney, professor of English at St. John's University in New York City, called Miller "a very important stylist," Miller's "concept of the self as a fictive creation led into the non-fiction novel that's so popular these days," Hafley said. "His great talent for organization and style went unnoticed because of his reputation for photographic realism." Jesuit Father Henry Lavin, literary editor of America magazine, said Miller "was certainly a pioneer in making sex available for respected literature."

But toward the end of his reign, Pope Paul "was burdened, personally tired and presented as a man agonizing over the church," the cardinal said. "We must see Pope John Paul II in this context. The church needed a smile. We all cheered up." The cardinal suggested that in 10 years time Catholics would see that "first we needed a smile, then we needed a stong, outgoing personality, with an insistence on doctrine."

LAY MISSIONARY work is essentially a sharing experience. This was one of the conclusions reached by Janette Byrne, of North Perth, who recently attended the PALMS Lay Missionary Course in Sydney. (Janette has been accepted as a lay missionary teacher in the Gilbert Islands.) There is much to be learntfrompeople who are rich in traditions and customs that are based on love and care for one another, Janette said. On the other hand, the lay missionary offers his or her particular skill as a service to other people. The sharing process thus enriches both sides. Both receive and both learn. On returning to Perth, Janette highly commended the PALMS training course for /ay missionaries. She met former lay missionaries as well as indigenous people from various parts of the Pacific area, who clarified her motivation and prepared her for the work ahead. Anyone interested in lay missionary work should contact the Catholic Missions Office. Phone 325-5264. May God love you. Father PAT AHERN. * * *

$2.1 m rise in Knights of Columbus gifts NEW HAVEN, Conn. (NC) — Knights of Columbus contributed $26,087,688 to charitable causes in 1979, according to a survey of Knights of Columbus state councils, local councils and assemblies. The figure represents a $2.1 million increase over 1978. The survey was conducted on behalf of the National Fraternal Congress of America, a Chicago-based affiliation of about 100 North American fraternal benefit societies. It also revealed that Knights of Columbus gave more than eight million hours in service to their communities. The knights made 639,000 visits to the sick or grieving and donated another 747,765 hours to sick and disabled mem bers and their families. About 151,000 knights were blood donors, an increase of 5,000 over 1978. The knights in the United States and Canada traditionally top other fraternal societies in blood donations. The $26 million total includes donations to the sick, disabled or handicapped; disaster victims; homes for the aged or orphans; hospitals; welfare organizations and c ommunity projects; y outh groups; scholarships, schools, libraries and other educational ventures; and food, clothing and other materials for the •oor.
The 72,000 Illinois knights, who contributed $1,745,484, were the top givers, followed by the 118,000 New York k nights, who gave $1,657,164 and the 40,000 knights in Ontario, Cana d a , who donated $1,444,670. The smaller jurisdictions demonstrated the highest per capital giving: North Carolina, with 2,995 knights, gave an a verage of $80 per member; British Columbia, with 4,712 knights, donated $62 per member, and Vermont, with 4,827 knights, contributed $61 per member. According to Supreme knight Virgil C. Dechant, the survey indicates that "fraternalism is alive and well today."

Communists lose to Christian Democrats in Italian poll ROME (NC) — The Italian Communist Party lost heavily while Christian Democrats and Socialists gained in Italian regional elections held earlier this month. The Christian Democrats regained popular vote leads over the Communists in two key regions governed by C ommunist -led coalitions since the last regional elections in 1975. These were Rome's Lazio region and the industrial Piedmont region in northern Italy, home of Turin and gigantic Fiat auto works and long a Communist stronghold. Although the regional and numerous provincial and city council elections were for local government, the Communists tried to turn the vote into a national referendum

The Pope said that he hoped candidates for the priesthod would be able to receive the necessary intellectual and spiritual training in Vietnam. A Vietnamese spokesman, in a reference to the Pope's statement, said Catholic seminaries in Vietnam had not been closed and priests had been trained in recent years. The spokesman said seven priests had been ordained in Hanoi in 1978 and 725 were at present being trained in Vietnam.
3 MILLION He said government authorities had approved a decision by the council of the Vietnamese church in April to open seven new seminaries. Vietnamese Catholics are estimated to number about 3 million, of a total population of 50 million.
An informed person said that the Vietnamese clergy comprised one cardinal, two archbishops, 36 bishops and 2000 priests. • An episcopal council was established last month after the church's session in Hanoi. The council published a pastoral letter pledging full obedience to government policy. The letter affirmed that V ietnamese Catholics would stand side by side with the people to reconstruct and defend the country. The practise of the Catholic faith has continued without interruption in Vietnam, although without church bells. Monsignor Trinh Nhu Khue was named cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1976.

Areas of growth in young worker; YCW conference "Priests have a vital role in the formation of their apostles", said YCW national president, Michael Campbell, after a meeting last week in Victor Harbour, South Australia. The meeting included priest chaplains and fulltime lay workers in the Young Christian Workers movement. Delegates came from South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia for five days of reflection on the objectives and methods of the YCW formation process. Since 1974 there have been three such conferences, two in the past 18 months. This indicates the recent rapid growth of the movement and the important role played by full-timers and chaplains in the growth of the YCW.
THE PRIEST The conference discussed four specific areas of growth in the young worker: I. To discover that each of them has a God-given
vocation in life. 2. To see that this vocation must lead to apostolic action. 3. To understand the gospels and the tradition of the Church as a source of Christian values. 4. To deepen their relationship with Christ as the inspiration of their action. Within this formation process of the young worker, the priest has an irreplaceable role by virtue of his priesthood.
ROLE It is to enable young
workers to discover their mission in life that a priest should get to know the young workers, their working situations, their families, their personal relationships; in these situations young workers live their vocation.
Only the priest can bring young workers to take part in the Eucharist as a source of strength which unites them with Christ, whose mission they carry out. The conference also considered the role of the fulltime worker and chaplain on developing a national YCW action for unemployment. This action commenced after the 1979 National Council and has resulted in many initiatives at diocesan level. These initiatives include the setting up of the Worker and Unemployed Co-operative, visitation of the unemployed and providing accommodation for the homeless unemployed youth such as in Perth. Cathy Hynes, Bunbury YCW full-timer said the meeting was a good
opportunity to meet other young people and chaplains working in the same field, "to share our work, how we go about it and to look at its effectiveness and how it can be improved." According to Mi-Mi Johnson, Perth YCW full-timer, the most penetrating remark of the meeting was that of Michael Campbell: "As far as commitment is concerned, full-time workers can more easily express their faith in the work they do". Fr. John Jegorow, Perth YCW Chaplain said: "I am delighted with the direction that the YCW movement is taking.

Sixteen Monastery YCW members took up an invitation last weekend to visit the Bunbury YCW. They stayed at the St. Patrick's Cathedral presbytery. After lunch on Saturday, they worked hard at the home of Sarah Rogers preparing for the Sunday cake stall to raise funds for Cathy Hynes' visit to the Adelaide conference. The sale was over at the end of 10 a.m. Mass and netted $35. Saturday evening was spent at a barbecue on the farm of Cathy Hynes' parents. Bunbury YCW moved t he regular Monday meeting back to Sunday morning so that the monastery visitors could see what was happening in the southern city. A ccording to Sam Rizzo: "The Bunbury group, although new, are full of confidence and zeal
and they are keen to spread the YCW message in their diocese." Julie O'Meara said: "A trip like this shows that YCW is more than just our local group. It shows that there are workers everywhere helping to bring Christ to all other young workers." The group passed a vote of thanks to Fathers Evan Penberthy and Greg Chidlow who with local Y CW members had shown kindness, warmth and hospitality. STEVE GAYNOR Monastery YCW

Groups from Swanbourne, Newman, Koondoola and St. Thomas Aquinas made up the 58 people at the third northern regional YCS meeting last Friday night, held at Mercy College, Koondoola. Dave Kelly, YCS full time worker, was unable to be present because of the flu. An opening song "Beautiful City" from "Godspell" made each one of us want to build a beautiful city of love. Then we viewed the film "Peege", which illustated the sensitivity towards others that needs to be at the heart of all our action. In six groups we reviewed the principal points of the film such as sensitivity, closeness to people, the question of ageing, care for the elderly in our families and in the community and Christ's vision of love and caring. The groups discussed what was being actually done in visiting the
elderly or conducting dances and whether they had achieved a strong sense of unity and trust within the group. The meeting was told that YCS badges. will soon be available at $2 from Leederville YCS. Leederville YCS has finally produced "Oranges", price 20 cents. A special YCS dance will be held on August 24. The evening concluded with a reading from I Thessalonians, 1 and 2. A delicious supper was then served. Thanks are due to those who attended and made the evening a worthwhile experience. Each person present had made a commitment to contribute to the discussion and hopefully
found something worthwhile to take back to their local group. —ROSA SPERANZA, Mercy YCS

Call to youth to be apostles: Two main areas of effort
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of two great Apostles, Peter the Rock, on whom Jesus founded his Church and Paul, the great missionary to the nations. Y oung people today are called by Jesus to be apostles to one another just as Peter and Paul were called from their everyday work. There are two main areas where young people may become alive as apostles. The first is the ideal world of a camp experience. For this reason it is most important that the majority of input sessions on different camps should be given and presented by young people.
SHARING
Before giving these talks and running camps; youth should collaborate with one another, with their priests and other committed adults. There is nothing as effective as young people sharing their beliefs and convictions with one another. I am glad young people are sharing their personal experience and faith on camps. It happened at the recent Catholic Parish Youth Leaders' Camp; it happens on YCS and Y CW weekends; it happens on Choice and the many other youth programme at a local level. The Queens Park Catholic Parish youth group is, at present, pre-
the world of families where young people must grow to love, and develop a sense of responsibility. A real world means the routine of daily work where we must take a real interest in our fellow workers at the next desk or workbench. It means being an apostle in our school classrooms and tertiary lecture halls, being pre-
paring its camp through a committee of six young people (Jenny Butler, Veronica Foale, Sheena Mackintosh, Wayne McGorrty, Rick Wieman and Paul Kelly) and myself. Their prayful preparation of presentations will ensure abundant fruit.
IT MEANS....
Peter first learnt about his faith at the feet of Jesus. Peter then had to face the real world and even die for Christ. The second area where young people must be apostles is this real world.
The strength and encouragement gained from a camp must be shared at a regular youth group meeting; and then it has to be taken into the real world. The real world means
pared to speak the truth of Christ when so many other voices speak evil. It means taking a responsibility to church and civil communities.
JESUS SAID
A real world also means the leisure and sport that enhances our appreciation of the beauty of God's world and refreshes our spirit through w holesome entertainment. Before becoming a Christian St. Paul had experienced that world but He head Christ's call and was prepared to care for that world even to his death. Jesus reminds us when he says to each young person: "Remember I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be cunning as serpents and yet as harmless as doves". Fr. JOHN JEGOROW

each other the importance we attached to those events." During the meeting, each representative gave a review of work being done and many frustrations and problems were found to be common to many groups. The most provoking segment was led by a talk by M ark Constantine, who raised the question: "How much are our Catholic schools doing to produce people to fit in with a competitive and materialistic society rather than to challenge it as Christians? "In efforts to give students a chance in life through high marks and better references, are we offering the best society can give rather than the best Christ can offer? Dave Kelly commented that these questions every student, teacher and parent needed to face and, once they came to an understanding of the situation endeavour to bring about its change.

F.O.L. meeting on Right to Life family, education, federation working women, smut formed
Defence of the Australian fainily was imperative in the face of its vilification by minority groups and the danger of neglect by Governments, Mr. Ross McLean M.H.R. told the Festival Of Light Annual General Meeting last Sunday. He congratulated the Festival for such defence of family and moral values in the Australian Community. Mr. Brian Peachey, who spoke after Mr. McLean, and who had recently been a West Australian delegate to a Canberra Conference on national family policy, suggested that the hostile attitude of extreme feminists to the normal family could be countered by giving more emphasis at Canberra to the Office of Child Care and less that of Women's Affairs.
DISQUIET He said that wide disquiet about the National W omen's Advisory Council in the Office of Women's Affairs was shown by the constant flow of petitions to Parliament asking for winding up of the Advisory Council. Mr. Peachey listed consumerism and hostile feminism as the two major factors affecting family life adversely. Both were bring about the social direction of women into the workforce instead of into their essential role as wives,
mothers and homemakers, he said. A 50 percent rise in w omen entering the workforce over the past decade had been accompanied by a 25 percent fall in the Australian birthrate which was now below population replacement figures and worse now in our years of plenty and prosperity than in the depths of the Depression of the 1930's. Speaking on pornography, Mr. McLean said that it denigrated and betrayed the dignity of women and led to a decline in personal behaviour and morals. The consequent breakdown in standards of general conduct had widespread and damaging repercussions in industrial and business relations, homes, schools in rising crime, abortion and deterioration of family life, he said. There were laws and censorship to determine what was or what was not pornographic but their major criterion was what o ffended community standards. Thus it was imperative that high community standards should be pre-
served, he added. Mr. McLean, therefore, urged the Festival meeting to lobby strongly and express views individually and collectively to Governments. Mr. Ray Ellery, reelected as president of the West Australian Festival Branch, illustrated the effect of strong representation in that Mrs. Mab Walsh, of the Festival in Sydney, had been nominated by the AttorneyGeneral as an Australian representative to the U.N. 1980 Conference on Women at Copenhagen this July. Her nomination had been secured by a 350,000 signature petition by women who supported normal family views. 100,000 of these signatures had come from Western Australia.
UNISEX
Mr. Paul Donnelly in a later discussion cited the damaging effect of unisex in education and preferring work to a family in the teaching profession. The decline in the birthrate of the 1970's was now bringing about a fall in school enrolments, he said.

SYDNEY: At a meeting of all State Right to Life Associations of Australia last weekend W.A., N.S.W. South Australia, Queensland and the A.C.T. voted to form an Australian Federation of Right to Life Associations. The federation will express a firm pro-life consensus and present a united voice on Federal issues. The new Federation of Australian Right to Life Associations appointed a national spokesman from the A.C.T. branch, who will hold office for a 12-month period, and who will co-ordinate and make public statements concerning legislation or campaigns on a Federal level. The State Right to Life Associations concerned agreed to give their fullest co-operation. The Federation of Right t o Life Associations expressed confidence in future development of pro-life activities and w elcomed all genuine moves to win the agreement of the Australian community that all life must be respected from its very beginning. The new federation reconfirms the independence of, and gives a respentative voice to S tate organisations, whose branch members are the backbone of the national movement of Right to Life.

Priest suspended; 'divisive ministry' Funding of schools in Holland and in Australia
Sir, Mr Donnelly seems to be mistaken when he says (The Record, June 12) that in Holland funding "is confined to Catholic, Lutheran or State Schools". The Dutch Ministry of Education and Science puts it this way: "All educational establishments [with the sole e xception of the private universities] founded by p rivate or voluntary b odies, whether denominatinal or not," are entitled to full funding by government. The variety of such private or voluntary bodies is probably no greater in Australia than it is in Holland. It was not the level of funding I referred to, but the way in which direct government funding can be made to suggest proportionate control. This is why I advocate some kind of individual funding, tax-adjusted to ensure equity.
With such funding, S tate-school parents would no longer "exercise no voice in the conduct of these schools and in what and how their children are t aught." Individual funding would thus benefit both government and private schools. All teachers and parents would enjoy the autonomy that should never have been taken from them. Moreover, individual funding would seem to satisfy better than any o ther scheme the recommendations of the only official Vatican statement I know of that deals specifically with government funding of schools. Cardinal Villott's letter
to the 31st Spanish Social Week strongly rejects any kind of funding that would have the effect Mr Donnelly mentions and put private schools beyond the means of ordinary people. The same letter says also that government schools should offer denomin ational religion courses for students who want them, and that these courses should be of the s ame standard and ' standing as courses in other disciplines — an interesting way of dealing with the problem of religious education where separate denominational schools are not viable. JOHN W. DOYLE, S.J., Yarralumla, A.C.T.
Married men in the priesthood? Not just to 'fill the gap'
Sir, Your recent report (The Record June 19) cites at least one of a group of Indonesian bishops on visit to Rome as requesting from Pope John Paul lithe permission to ordain married men to the priesthood. The reason given is the drastic shortage of priests in that country -- 60 to 80 per cent of the faithful not having ready access to the sacraments and the E ucharist, it was reported. The bishops were also reported as saying that they were doing all in their power to promote local vocations and to train laity to 'fill the gap' created by the priest shortage. I believe that to allow the ordination of married
men simply as an expedient to overcome the shortage of priests is to downgrade the sacraments of marriage and holy orders when they are linked in a married priesthood. Should the Church see fit to allow the ordination of married men, let it be on the basis of the merits of the married priesthood and the contribution it can make to the sacred ministry and NOT as a last resort to 'fill the gap'. Father G. BEYER Armadale

Particular congratulations on the editorial "A Lone Rigidity?" It is high time that Catholics, if they be W orthy of the name, and O ther brethren sympathetic beat the drum of decency and Christian living. It is always high time because of our fallen
nature but should we repeatedly test the anger of the Lord? The family is being attacked for sure-both morally and economically. Are there no Catholics in Perth who enjoy wealth and power who will plead the cause of the family? I mean overtly. Are all Catholics full of fairy floss? C.F.G. FERGUSON Lesmurdie.
Killer r equests death ATLANTA (NC) —The priest who counselled the c onvicted killer Jack Potts, a Catholic convert, said that Potts has apparently changed his mind again and requested to be e xecuted because he wanted to die at a time when he was "right" with God. Holy Ghost Father Raymond Kulwicki, speaking from Reidsville State Prison, where he is chaplain, indicated that "in his conscience, Potts is convinced that he is right with god (and) that he is really putting his salvation in jeopardy by not accepting the death penalty." "You know, that prison is really a hell of a place," added Father Kulwicki.

BOSTON (NC) — Cardinal Medeiros of Boston has suspended Father John J. Keane, a priest of the Boston A rchdiocese who opened three unauthorized chapels for the celebration of the traditional Tridentine Latin Mass.
Father Keane, who was ordained in 1963, had his last official assignment in Boston at Holy Cross Cathedral, where he had been given permission to celebrate Mass in Latin with the reform ritual approved by Pope Paul VI. He left that assignment in 1973. C ardinal Medeiros emphasized that the question of Latin was not the p aramount cause of Father Keane's suspension.

Bishops ask: End aid to El Salvador LONDON (NC) — Eight English bishops asked the British government to persuade the United States to end military aid to El Salvador. In a letter to Lord Carrington, British Foreign Secretary, the bishops expressed deep concern about the deteriorating situation in El Salvador following the assassination in March of Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador. "In the week of Archbishop Romero's death, it is estimated by church sources that over 100 people lost their lives at the hands of the Salvadorean security forces," said the letter. "The repression during the first three months of 1980 has by all accounts been the harshest in El Salvador's recent and turbulent history," it added. During the first three months of this year about 1,500 people have been killed, according to church and human rights sources in El Salvador.
The bishops welcomed the British government's continuation of a complete ban on arms sale to El Salvador. But they complained that the United States seems willing to continue arms sales. They urged Britain "to use its good offices with our allies to seek an embargo on arms shipments to El Salvador until such time as the situation is substantially m proved."

ARENA JOTTINGS)
The Australian Sports Institute to be set up by t he Commonwealth Government, details of which were announced last week is an imaginative concept "to give y oung Australians greater opportunities to pursue excellence in sport in their own country". One aspect of the proposal announced by the Minister for Home A ffairs, Mr. Ellicott which will no doubt be attractive to the youth of the nation is that "for the first time young Australians will have the opportunity to pursue their interests in sport to the highest level without interruption of or risk to t heir education or careers." Students at the institute will be able to enrol in a special government — funded bachelor degree course in sports studies at the Canberra College of Advanced Education or in non sports-related courses at the college, at the Australian National
University or at the Bruce College of Technical and further education. This is somewhat similar to the United States system whereby various universities give scholarships to prominent young sportsmen (although these are not government-funded). It is proposed that the institute's programmes will also be open to "talented athletes who are working full or parttime". Press reports suggest that rather large bureaucratic machine is to be set up with a director at $40,000 a year and six or severLcoaching positions each carrying a salary of $20,000. The possible cost of the scheme has been put at $2 million annually, which will include grants to sports bodies, scholarships and administration expenses. What sports are to be dealt with has not yet been published, although swimming and tennis have been mentioned.

By BERNARD JAY States undertaking the courses, on the score of expenses or work commitments or other obligations. Also whether or not the scheme is solely for the development of potential champions or for the development of healthy sports generally for all the nation's sportsmen is a question which may have to be answered when more details are known. Meanwhile, the government has taken commendable action in assisting sport by a fairly generous injection of money, which at the present time might well serve to counter the criticism voiced in connection with the Olympic Games. *** The good news about the interstate and international match schedule announced for the 198081 season by the Australian Cricket Board is that Test players will be available for their respective States in most Sheffield Shield games. The bad news is that the season will be crowded — almost as crowded as that of last season — with the difficulties and problems arising from too much cricket. However, changes for the better are that some of t he Sheffield Shield matches will start on
Thursdays which will allow spectators to see the finish of the games on Saturdays and Sundays. Also, in the two full rounds of Shield matches the later round will have three-day matches — an experiment to gauge public support, which would seem to have better than an even chance of success. In all, the Test players will be available for 20 of the 25 Shield matches scheduled which should go some ways towards making the Shield programme more popular with the public.
While the chairman of the cricket board, Mr bob Parish, rightly claims that it will be a "much more balanced and comprehensive programme than last season" there will still be crowding, with two visiting teams — India and New Zealand — each playing three Tests against Australia and other international fixtures, including 15 Benson and Hedges World Series Cup matches, of which seven will be played in a two weeks in January next. * * *
