R OME (NC): The C atholic situation in Iran has deteriorated, with reports reaching Rome that all priests and Religions will be expelled soon. Though the move has n ot been official ly a nnounced by the Iranian Government, a Salesian priest in Teheran says the expulsion of a bout 150 priests, brothers and nuns is nearly certain. Father Picchioni sent news of the situation to S alesian headquarters in R ome. The possible expulsion is believed to be related to the arrest on August 8 of 22 Iranian students after they demonstrated on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Father Picchioni said the priests and religious will be expelled within a month. He also said that the Iranian authorities had broken ties with Archbishop Annibale Bugnini, A postolic Nuncio to Iran, and would deal with the Vatican only through Melkite-rite Archbishop Hilarion Capucci.

When she saw Mr. Harold Crook of Cloverdale "posting" clothing parcels in the Saint Vincent de Paul bin standing outside Cloverdale post office, philatelic officer Mrs. Joyce Oakley sawan ideal opportunity to sell him some of the Saint Vincent de Paul commemorative stamps that went on sale this week. The society was given special permission to put the bin there for two weeks as part of the promotion. Cloverdale postal staff enter into the spirit of every new issue and dress up for the occasion. This time Mrs. Oakley found herself wearing a period costume of the Salvation Army which is also featured in the series. The 79-year -old Harold Crook is one of Cloverdale's "young" St. V. de P members having joined only 18 months ago.
The vatican has refused to confirm of deny that A rchbishop Capucci represents the Vatican's interests in Iran. But the S yrian -born prelate reportedly has delivered personal messages from Pope John Paul II to Iranian leaders.

The current problems between the Vatican and Iran began in July when government authorities accused the Italian Salesians in Iran of using their school in Teheran to spy for Israel. The Salesians denied t he charges. Iranian authorities closed the school and placed its directors under house arrest.

Father Richard McBrien appeared on the programme on July 16 during a promotional tour for the publication of his book Catholicism. Bishop Kelly said that his

priestly celibacy and other moral issues on which the author was reported widely during his tour. (Full story page 9)

No lethal needles
CHICAGO (NC) — The American Medical Association (AMA) decided at its annual meeting in Chicago that physicians should not administer lethal injections in executions. "A physician as a member of a profession dedicated to preserving life when there is hope of doing so should, not be a participant in a legally authorized execution, said the policy report adopted by the AMA's 279 member House of Delegates. The report held, however, that "an individual's opinion on capital punishment is his personal moral decision" and that "a physician may make certification o! death as currently provided for by law in any situation. "Obviously what we are saying is that physician has his own moral judgement about capital punishment, but the AMA feels that a physician should be a participant in executions by drug injection," an AMA spokesperson said.

BISHOP RETIRES
WA born Bishop Bryan Gallagher this week stepped down after 28 years as bishop of the South Australian diocese of Port Pine.
While he was on a visit to his home city of Perth this week it was announced that he would be succeeded by Bishop Peter de Campo who was ordained coadjutor bishop of the diocese last year. T he 69 -year -old Bishop Gallagher has been in indifferent health for a number of years and is at present convalescing after a mild stroke. Bishop Gallagher will spend his retirement years in the diocese of Port Pine to which he was appointed in 1952 after serving as a priest of Geraldton diocese for 18 years. He is not the first WA link with the church of the South Australian outback. A one-time editor of The Record, Father John O'Reilly became first bishop of the diocese then based on Port Augusta at the top of Spencers Gulf. The late Cardinal Gilroy of Sydney was also a bishop of the diocese for three years. B ishop Gallagher grew up in West Perth attending CBC Perth and later St. Ildephonsus College, New Norm, before his ordination in Rome in 1934 for the diocese of Geraldton where he was first administrator of the cathedral and later parish priest of Three Springs. His appointment to Port Pine, he says, was described as "a country
priest to a country diocese" which is similar to Geraldton in some of the vast distances that priests have to travel. Looking back on 45 years of his own priesthood Bishop Gallagher said that priests were needed more than ever today for what they could offer not merely to society but to the people of faith. "Without priests there is no Mass, no sacraments, the channels of grace dry up" he said. The fostering of vocations is one of the great works of today and he expressed keen interest in the St. Charles' hostel facility at Guildford where men can think over a call to the priesthood. "Although some people do not like the idea of minor seminaries, it is still in the very young years that the idea grows and that should be fostered in some suitable place," the bishop said. The relevance of the priesthood to today does not pose a question for Bishop Gallagher. "It is the work of a priest or bishop to make himself relevant because we can say Mass and adminsiter sacraments, because for some reason of His own god has taken us to make us something divine just as He became human, and we must develop that divine life so that we can live close to God."
CASTELGANDOLFO, (NC): Permissive drug legislation "serves neither to prevent nor to redeem," Pope John Paul II has told former drug addicts and their families. At a Mass for residents and workers of the Italian Centre of Solidarity, the Pope expressed concern about moves to liberalise "drugs erroneously defined as light."

As a member of the Belmont Housing Trust, Marist Lodge residents will get first preference for admission to the Belmont Community Hospital should the need arise. Belmont parish priest Father Vin McCabe was elected this week as first chairman of the new board, which includes representatives of Catholic Homes for the Aged and local business
and civic representatives. Father McCabe said that many people did not understand what a frail aged hostel was all about. "They think it is a C-Class hospital, whereas it is a means of preventing people having to go into a C-Class hospital before their time," he said. "A frail aged hostel gives an elderly person freedom from having to look after his or her meals but with all the other facilities to go about their daily interest." Applications should be addressed to Marist Lodge, 11 Hehir Street, Belmont.

The Federal Budget is due to be brought down later this month and it is probable that some of the few pleasures that life offers, such as an occasional beer and a smoke, will be the victims of further cost hikes.

The Harbour and Light Department and the Police Department should have their personnel augmented and the number of their craft increased to make prompt arrests and ensure that the numbskulls do not use the waterways until they can do so in a courteous and safe manner. And the drinking of alcoholic liquor should be strictly banned anywhere near a boat, even to stopping club members drinking before they take to the water.

Mission news R ecently I recieved a letter from a seminarian whom I met in India last D ecember.
Thomas Naduvathetru is a theology student for the Diocese of Varanasi in Central North India. His family lives in Kerala, South India, but Thomas told me that he has always wanted to do missionary work in North India. When I met him, he was gaining pastoral e xperience in a parish during his regency year. This year of practical w ork is a valuable time for seminarians before they continue with their final four years of preparation for priesthood. Thomas is now studying Theology at St. Charles' Seminary in Nagpur. In his letter he told me that there are 285 students at Nagpur, and this is only one of the major seminaries for Diocese priest in India. Religious orders also report an increase in numbers of students for the priesthood. The Jesuits have over eighty theology students in Delhi and the India Missionary Society has a r ecord intake of novices. The task of evangelization in India is immense, but with so many vocations to the priesthood and religious life, there will certainly be more labourers in the Lord's vineyard. May the Lord of the harvest continue to bless this work. Father PAT AHERN. * * *

DATELINE . . . overseas news roundup
ncio: Work for TWO MUSTBE Nuab olition of 'Shift' work 'EQUAL' IN death penalty MARRIAGE LONDON (NC) — A rchbishop Derek Worlock of Liverpool and Anglican Bishop David Sheppard of Liverpool criticised .Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's call to unemployed youth to move in search of jobs. There were already too many pressures on jobless young people to do that in every economically depressed region, said the two bishops in a letter to The Times of London. "In Liverpool down the years there have been many forces which have encouraged the 'get up and go' young people to leave," they wrote. "This businessmen's philosophy makes a God out of economics. It runs a grave risk of making inner city and other priority areas of major cities into communities of the left behind. The less selfconfident will never move." If substantial numbers of Liverpool young people were successful in finding employment elsewhere, "the wound of this lost generation would leave a scar upon the health of the community for decades to come," they added. They warned, too, of a vicious circle being created if there were not enough opportunities to train for advanced technologies. Businessmen would say; "We can't bring our business to Merseyside because there isn't a sufficient pool of skilled labour," they said.
LUXEMBOURG: European ministers of Justice meeting here were urged by papal nuncio Archbishop Cardinale to work for the abolition of the death penalty.
VATICAN CITY (NC): Men and women must treat one another as equals in marriage, Pope John Paull II told about 15,000 visitors at his general audience.
The archbishop noted that the church has not yet condemned the death penalty in principle. But he said that there was social conditions that made rethinking of the subject, the death penalty unnecesand public authorities sary. ought to work to establish "The church considers it necessary that politicians feel supported by it in their efforts to make penal justice more humane, and in particular to create those social, psychological and juridical conditions that will make the death penalty useless," Archbishop Cardinale said.
WASHINGTON: In November, 1974, the U.S. bishops adopted a one-sentence statement opposing the death penalty, after a prolonged debate in which they were unable to agree on a lengthier statement The sentence said: "The U.S. Catholic Conference goes on record in opposition to capital punishment." In 1976, responding to a request by the U.S. bishops, the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace issued a study paper, The commission supported "a pastoral attitude that says: for the ethical values involved and because of the lack of probative arguments to the contrary, the abolition of capital punishment is to be favoured." The Vatican study p aper made these points: *The church has supported the right of the state to impose the death penalty. *The church has never dealt with the death penalty directly, and does not explicitly support or prohibit it. *The existence of captial punishment in the Old Testament does not of itself justify it for today, while the New Testament does not explicitly prohibit capital punishment. 'Recent popes have stressed the "Medicinal," or corrective aspect of punishment. Captial punishment is not "medicinal" because "it negates the possibility that the criminal may rehabilitate himself." *There is no convincing evidence that the death penalty is a deterrent to crime. *"The real question for Catholics is whether there has been an evolution in thought and sensitivity which allows the church to see that a particular stand in this question will advance the ethical values of Christian life and help people be more sensitive to the rights of persons and society."

WA SCIENTISTINAIFCOUNTRY Denis Roberts is a distinguished agricultural scientist who taught beef cattle husbandry at Muresk Agricultural College, was livestock manager for the Benedictine order at New Norcia from 1966-71 and worked for the CSIRO from 1971 78 before joining the Department of Agriculture. Highlights of his career have included various periods in the Middle East where he developed a knowledge and understanding of the Iranian and Arab peoples and their ways of life. H is present duties include research into biological materials as sources of alternative fuel.
In 1974-75 in Middle East countries where the AIF had fought during the war the attitude of the people towards Australians was excellent. You had only to drop a word or two of wartime slang and the cordial and instant response was: "Aussie or Kiwi?" These are among the recollections agricultural scientist Denis Roberts has of five recent sojourns in the Middle East. Denis, leader of the food technology branch of the WA Department of Agriculture, believes that in part at least the cordiality of many of the people of this vital area springs from memories of the stock the Diggers laid by their "fair go" philosophy and the heartfelt w armth they displayed towards the children of their battle field countries. A further factor in the present-day continuation of the good relationship is the Arab view that Australians come from a country with no history of empire building and therefore they are not power w heelers and dealers. Denis started his work abroad in 1974 with a week in India aiding the Foreign A ffairs Department programme aimed at market development for the Australian meat industry. In the same year he surveyed the technical aspects of meat marketing through the Gulf region of the Middle East.

LAITY'S WORK
Today's lay participation is a logical sequel to the emphasis on the lay apostolate and Catholic Action when he was ordained in 1955, jubilarian Father Dan Foley said this week. A significant step in lay involvement for Father Foley has been his work with Marriage Encounter over the past four years. "It has helped marriage couples to find their niche in the Church," he said. "Married people have so much to give the Church and Marriage Encounter has given them the means to do it effectively." He cited married couples in his Attadale parish presenting matrimonial programmes to high school students. "Once they would have sat on the sidelines and merely asked what they can do or would have seen themselves only as sweeping and cleaning the church," he said. Father Foley believes there is tremendous potential for evangelisation through the liturgy, especially at weddings and funerals; Catholics and non-Catholics respond to this contact, he said.
LEARN TO IN CONTROL
The August 8 anniversary of the death of Mother Mary McKillop was honoured by a new WA presentation "Soapsuds to Sequins." Written by Sister Leonie Main of Mundaring and produced by Aquinas drama teacher Juliana Hammond, the 60-minute production was built on the style of "A Man for All seasons". The play traces the 19th century struggle of Mary McKillop to establish a unique Australian congregation, the Sisters of St. Joseph. A former St. Joseph pupil, Maria Purcell, acted as narrator and all the acting parts were performed by pupils from St Pius X school Manning who put in four solid months of rehearsal on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings.

Among warm people
Father Dan Foley of Attadale tries his hand at a jubilee cake during a parish social last week.
A greater closeness between priest and people is the mark of today's church, according to Father Anton Hesse of Carlisle who celebrated 25 years of priesthood this week. Friendliness, hospitality and warmth are the qualities he has admired among people with whom he has worked. He sees his work as a priest to bring out that goodness of people through their co-operation in parish activity. Father Hesse is concerned that the aged and sick do not get left out of sight in a parish. "They need a sense of belonging more than ever at that time of life," he said. He strongly backs local efforts such as visitation of the elderly, parish outings and creating opportunities for the elderly to do something for themselves. completed three years of seminary training in Some of the cast who presented Soapsuds to Sequins..

Auxiliary Bishop John A Kelly, of Melbourne, believes it is a matter of justice to refute statements made on Willesee at Seven by visiting American theologian our author Father Richard McBrien.
In a statement this week, Bishop Kelly said: "At the beinning of the interview, Fr McBrien discussed 'dangerous mistakes' made by the Church. "Michael Daly then asked him, 'You say the Church has made some bad mistakes. Do you put things like the Pope's ruling on contraception into that area?" "Father McBrien replied, without hesitation, 'Yes . ..', going on "Catholicism", a two-volume book of 1200 pages costing $45 was to describe Humanae Vitae as printed in the very short period of nine months to be published simultaneously in English speaking countries. 'one of the most serious mistakes The publishers, Dove Publications in Australia, state that the book the Catholic Church has ever does not carry an imprimatur because the publishing deadline did not made officially, at least in our permit the process. time in the 20th century." They state also that since it is not a catechetical text this step of approval is not required by the present norms of the Congregation for "In saying that the Church Doctrine and Faith on books of theology. teaching is wrong - seriously so Father McBrien quotes support for his book from Archbishop Gerety - he made a direct frontal of Newark and Archbishop Carter of Toronto.

live in celibacy, for a more total dedication to the priesthood of Christ and to the service of his people. "The crunch line of the interiew came when Michael Daly asked Fr McBrien, 'Personally, how do you feel about it? Do you find celibacy difficult for yourself?' Rapidly, Fr McBrien replied, 'Yes, yes . . .,' and this on television, in a public forum, with t housands watching and listening. "But Fr McBrien went further after his admission. He asserted, concerning celibacy, . . .`any priest, and bishop in fact, who says it is not, or never has been, a problem, I would either say the person is not being straightforward, or the person has a very narrow range of human experience, of human emotion.' "All virtues can and will often pose problems, as indeed all the c ommandments have an uncomfortable way of so doing. "We can consider fidelity in marriage, chastity before marriage, honesty in business and so on. "But that is of the essence of Christianity, the ordinary experience of living it out day by day. "As distinct from a godless humanism because it helps us realise the problems of human living - Christianity is here precisely to enable us not to run away from problems nor to capitalise on weakness, but rather to stay right there with them and even to fight, strong in the grace of Jesus Christ."
PERSONAL VIEWS F ather Richard McBrien, whose remarks were partially reported in the West Australian and were heard on local television and radio, is an American priest who was in Australia from July 14-22. He is professor of theology at Boston College and has just been appointed chairperson of the theology department of Notre Dame University. He is the author of 11 books. He was on a publicity tour to Australia, arranged by his publishers to launch his massive t wo -volume production, "Catholicism". In Melbourne, the Dean of St. P atrick's Cathedral commented: "Fr McBrien was not here by invitation of the Catholic A rchdiocese of Melbourne and had no contact with officials of the archdiocese during his stay. "The promoter of his two lectures delivered at the Diocesan Centre hired the hall under normal booking arrangements. "This fact should not be taken a s providing support for Fr McBrien's views some of which were personal and ran counter to the teaching and established practice of the Church."

HOW TO WIN A DOUBLE PASS
British military history contains few greater miscarriages of justice than the execution by firing squad of two Australian officers and the gaoling for life of a third. This blot on the British escutcheon during the Boer War is highlighted in a gripping Australian movie, Breaker Morant, which opens Cinecentre and Innaloo on September 11. The strong cast is headed by Edward Woodward in the title role and Jack Thompson as Major Thomas, the smalltown Australian solicitor whose brilliant defence of the accused fails against a wall of British military intransigence. Despite the fact that the lives of three men were hanging on the outcome of the

• Rory Gallagher is the man who spearheaded the Irish rock movement and as always his direction and musical plans will attract great interest and speculation, especially in the light of the current surge of new Irish talent. The very antithesis of glitter and disco, Rory has been described as "the hardest giggin musician in the business" and as "the people's guitarist", the latter due to his shunning of the conventional show business trappings.

What friends are for Friendship plays a big part in everyone's life. Without friends it would be hard to survive because they are special people towhom you can relate to and love. When you find you cannot c omprehend fully your parents, your friends are always standing by ready to help. I have manyveryclosefriends but particularly three whom I love in an extra special way. They guide me in a unique way special to them only and are comletely unaware of this. You do not have to look very far to know who your real friends are because they are as close as your guardian angel. One special thought by finding things within yourself you will be able to share them with others Ann GRIFFIN (Medina)

The other day a dog followed him home — would you believe all the way from Balcatta to South Perth where Captain Bob has his boat moored. And Nurse Kerry is furious. Captain Bob already has a one legged parrot that keeps falling off his shoulder and a fish tank full of pirranah to eat left overs after dinner. Nurse Kerry told him that most people kept chickens to take care of table s craps but Captain bob wouldn't listen. Anyway, Nurse Kerry says the dog has got to go. Later on in the page you might be able to help Nurse Kerry get rid of the dog. But at the moment its over to you.
Dear Captain Bob, I am writing to say I live on a farm and we have three dogs, three cats, one horse and a bird. My hobby is gymnastics, riding horses, playing with cats, playing the piano and singing. And now for riddle time: Q: What is the best way to get something out from under an elephant? A: Wait for the elephant to go away. Q: What is the best way to keep a skunk from smelling? A : Hold it's nose. Elizabeth Pauley, Dudinin.

If anyone asked children what they'd love to have best They'd probably say a teddy, doll, dog or a jewel chest, Or a puppet or a cat or even a mouse. Some would even like their own cubby house. But if someone asked me, this is what I'd say: A baby, a baby, a baby, I would, To bath it and to feed it, and teach it to be good. That would be all my pleasures bundled up to one and that's the thing I've been searching for. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Association," Sister De Sales says. "They work hard at the school and among their latest achievements are the renovation of a second-hand bus in which we travel to all sorts of places and the building of an adventure playground. "Their efforts enable us to save money with which we have established facilities such as a school library and bought audio-visual apparatus. We are a well-equipped school. Sister De Sales, originally from Clare and a member of the Presentation order based at Iona in Mosman Park, says that the school is a corn-
munity centred on the person of Christ. The words of Jesus — "Let the little children come to me and do not send them away, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" — are everpresent in the mind of each member of the staff. In and through this awareness, St. Thomas' education programme is carried out. An atmosphere of understanding, compassion, sensitivity, respect and trust is developed. She adds: "The uniqueness of each person is of great importance. "Because of the diversity of cultures here, our education programme gives each child the opportunity to develop and retain his or her own personal identity.

The Record, August 14-20, 1980
At Fr Dan Foley's SilverJubilee celebration last week he told me that Marriage Encounter had given him a closeness to people never previously experienced. Fr. Foley is the State executive priest who works closely with Neville and Marian Moran to co-ordinate the movement's activities and is responsible for local administration to the National Committee. He's quiet humility and love for people has touched my life and the lives of those who have experienced the Marriage Encounter weekends. The weekend is one of the most powerful ways of growing closer to your spouse, to the Church and to God. In early romance days little encouragement is needed to spend many hours together.
Once the disillusionments and difficulties of daily married life set in we need an extraordinary booster to enliven our appreciation of the sacrament of marriage. You can enrich your marriage by attending one of the following weekends. September 19-21, October 17-19, November 21-23 and December 5-7. Bookings can be made by contacting Kath and Collin Mitchell of 6 Turramara Way, Greenwood, 6024 (09) 448 4624. John and Judi PALANDRI (Gooseberry Hill)

SISTER FIDELIS McMAHON The Sisters of St. John of God Subiaco, again suffered the loss of one of the Order's most active members since the foundation of Kalgoorlie, when Sister Fidelis McMahon died suddenly on the 1st August. Sister was born in Kalgoorlie, and attended school at the Convent, where she completed her studies before applying to become a member of the Congregation in 1924.
---- ADDITIONAL: 10 cents for each 4 words or less
CLOSENESS AT M.E. WEEKENDS
After her spiritual formation was complete, she returned to Kalgoorlie to teach in the Sisters' school from 1930 to 1933. When the Archbishop decided that the Sisters should concentrate on their nursing apostolate, and
transferred the management of the school to the Sisters of St. Joseph, she returned to Subiaco to undertake her nursing training. She was so successful that she gained first place in the State in her final year, and was rewarded by the founder of the Training School, Dr. P.J. O'Meara, with a gold pen!
wheatbelt districts, so Sister became the pioneer of that project.
After nursing for some years as a general nurse she was one of the first three Sisters to undertake a Midwifery course at St. Margaret's, Syndey.
Many babies she brought into the world in this area. A t no time did she spare herself in the work she loved, but when numerous maternity hospitals were being built in the outlying districts, and the Northam Hospital built its own Materntiy wing, there was no longer the need for the Sisters to remain in this capacity.
She returned to work in the newly formed Maternity unit in Subiaco, but when Bun bury was founded and needed staff for their midwifery section, she was transferred there for some years until a new foundation was to be made in Northam, to serve the young mothers of the Eastern
It meant very hard work, which she met as a challenge, hard work being part of her philosophy. She served for a short term as Superior, but as the work grew, she devoted her time to the hospital as Matron.
After the hospital had served the frail aged for a f ew years, St John's became redundant and was eventually closed.
However, though she was no longer able to nurse, she served in many roles, until ill health caught up and she led an invalid's life of late. Always true to her prayer life, she was one of the first to enter the Chapel each morning, and attended the spiritual exercises faithfully. Latterly, she was hospitalised from time to time, but she always recovered to return to the Convent life. On 1st August, she was obviously far from well, and the Chaplain administered the Sacrament of the Sick and for the last time, she received her Eucharistic Lord. Some hours later she was visited by the Confessor and within an hour had passed into Eternal life. May the Everlasting Father grant her peace and rest. She leaves two sisters and two brothers to mourn her loss.

MARY MACKILLOP as a young woman was ready, as a first generation Australian, to face the problems that were present in every colony. She was blazing a new trail. The kind of congregation she had founded was different from any other kind of religious community working in the other colonies. All the other orders had been founded in Europe. She was seeing the needs of far flung groups of people right across Australia. She was calling it "a country" when other people were still calling it colonies. She was seeing it as an entity when churchmen and politicans were not. They were still putting this colony, or this part of the Church, Fr. Bill MODYSTACK
A CHURCH HEROINE She cared for all children
Many hope and pray that Mary McKillop will become Australia's first declared saint. If so, she will be as t ypically Australian as they come. She was born in Fitzroy and baptised in Melbourne's historic church of St. Francis where her Scottish migrant parents were married. Her godfather was Alexander Chisholm, wife of Caroline Chisolm, enshrined on the $5 and one of Australia's pioneer Catholic visionaries. In the days before free education Mary MacKillop received most of her education from her father. Her first job, at 14, was a nursery governess and at 16 she was working with Sands printery. Like many others in the back country of Victoria she found what poverty could do to her struggling family and she became second mother to her brothers and sisters. As a young governess in South Australia she was appalled at the degradation faced by young women and the lack of education. In typical Australian fashion at the tender age of 24 she looked at the problem and decided to do something about it — she started her own religious congregation. For her trouble she was given no armchair ride. She was criticised from outside the Church and from within — even to an illegally imposed excommunication by an ill—advised bishop. In 1909 when she died her Sister had become the backbone of Catholic education in the little towns of outback Australia and New Zealand. OOOOOOOOOOO • OOOOOOOOOOOOOO ••••••••••••
Mary MacKillop, in the days of religious bigotry, did not offer her talents only to Catholics but to the whole of society.
