SYDNEY: "There appears to be a considerable improvement in the condition of refugees throughout Africa," Mr Michael Whiteley, National Director of A ustrlaian Catholic Relief, said recently. "The massive amount of aid given to those countries through international and local agencies had given some hope to the approximately 5 million refugees in Africa", Mr Whiteley added. Through the International Disaster Emergencies Committee, the Australian public has contributed over $500,000 towards relief programs Australian Catholic Relief has already given $100,000 to assist these programs and plans to allocate a further $150,000 towards relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction programs for refugees and displaced persons in Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Uganda and Zimbabwe. At a resettlement camp south of Addis Ababa, three months ago 19 children were dying each day from malnutrition and disease. The Catholic Relief A gency in 'Ethiopia mounted a feeding program and Church personnel opened a clinic "The mortality rate had dropped to virtually nil and the people in the camp were physically in very good condition", he said. "However", Mr Whiteley added, "the biggest problem facing the refugees is one of despair.

The Queen, accompanied by Prince Philip and an entourage of 15 people, spent more than two hours at the Vatican. She also welcomed the possibility of a papal visit to Great Britain in 1982 and said that such a trip could "enable us all to see more clearly those truths which both unite and divide us in a new and

interpreted by us in the light of the experience of the Jewish-Christian tradition." The theologian mentioned several implications his theory of experience has for the church's catechetics, theology and life: • "In the modern world, people will no longer accept Christian belief simply on the authority of others. It will have to happen in and through an experience-with-experiences, which is interpreted in the light of what the church proclaims on the basis of a long history of Christian experience."
• Proclamation of Jesus as the Christ is not primarily a matter of handing on a doctrine of faith. Doe_ trine "serves to hand on and call for experiences which have already been had."
• Because they are only "one phenomenon within the totality of Christendom and humanity," the Western churches should not be arrogant by discarding other ways of being a church. For the same reason the Roman Catholic Church "should realize that it cannot be governed ma Europe-centred way."
MILITARY CAN KEEP PEACE
VATICAN CITY (NC) — "To emphasize exclusivelythe evils of war and not in any way explain the right and obligation to defend society against unjust aggression, can result in advancing war, rather than peace," said Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York in an interventional the 1980 world Synod of Bishops.

The Bible says lust is wrong Even fora Pope life at the top is not meanttobe easy and obviously Pope John Paul II has a problem if he can converse comfortably in ten languages, say hello in another twenty, but apparently cannot be heard properly. Two weeks ago he dared to condemn lust even if it occurred between a husband and his wife but it seems that everyone decided to turn off their hearing aids. Around the world different sections of the press huffed and in Italy and elsewhere radicals snorted indignantly. In The Australian newspaper Buzz Kennedy the columnist probably summed up most raised eyebrows when whimsically he decided to have another look at his wretch of a wife to see if His Holiness was dinkum and pondering on what a downturn in lust could do to a declining birthrate. Those who had decided in advance that the Pope would not know what he is talking about decided to go to that holy of holies, the dictionary, to see what lust was all about. They went to the wrong book. They should have gone to the Bible that Pope John Paul used for his reference. The Bible is quite sure where the truth lies: lust is a lways wrong, it is selfish and devastating whenever it embeds itself in a relationship. Passion, on the other hand, is a different matter. The Song of Songs is about passionateJove, caring love, tender love. No wonder the Catholic Church has always defended the human passions as a gift from God — provided they are used in moderation. There isn't a woman that does not want to be loved passionately, with all the tenderness of body and heart that such a word evokes. She never wants to be an object of lust. Lust isn't a harmless dalliance that can be brushed aside as some sort of party joke. There are too many marriages in our suburbs being ripped apart by adultery, infidelity, coldness and lack of sexual tenderness, for the Pope's warning to be dismissed lightly. The greatest tragedy would be if it is onlythe Pope who seems to care.

A CHALLENGE ON DUCATION
S tudents of today are challenging their teachers in the home and in the classroom to educate them in the way of justice, Bishop McKeon said recently at the blessing of new classroom e xtensions at Katanning. He cited recent Year Ten students who expressed themselves angrily to him that modern society was closing its eyes to the vexed question of justice and was "in a disgusting way c oncerned only with money, and more money" in the words of the s tudents. "If as teachers we are to be bearers of the liberating Good News of Jesus Christ then working and educating for justice is not an optional extra — it is a duty laid on our shoulders, a duty says Pope John Paul to be witnesses to that truth which youth today seeks." the Bishop continued. Quoting the 2,500 year old words of Micah "to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God", the bishop said they were still a charter for religious, priests, politicians and bishops. "For us who live in an affluent society in spite of all that is written and spoken about justice there is a temptation to pass off the contemporary concern with justice as just another passing fashion and join the apathetic millions who close their eyes to the facts we prefer not to think about — that 800 million people that is, one fifth of the world's population is trapped in absolute poverty, and three billion people are poor," he said. "Administrators, teachers, parents and their students must come to see that if our education system is God-centred we must educate so as to commence our building of a better world." Turning to the "love tenderly" words of the prophet Micah the bishop said: "When we hear the word violence we are always inclined to think of it as away out there in Afganistan or Turkey or Northern Ireland. "How about the violence in word and action to which some of our children are subjected in the most important classroom of all — the home? "How often do we hear complaints t oday about the lack of discipline in our young people? "Very often this lack is due to the fact that there is no obedience because there is no respect and there is no respect where there is no love. "For parents and those who assist them in the education of children if you. are animated by the love of • Christ a school cannot be just a place w here ideas are transmitted or imposed — no matter how useful or interesting they may be."
State aid concept backed
The Western Australian Government, together with the Commonwealth, supports the concept of nonGovernment church schools — both in principle and financially. This was said at the opening of new classrooms at St Patrick's school Katanning by Mr. R.C.Old, M.L.A., Minister for Agriculture and member for Katanning. "The Government is strongly criticised for this from time to time but you may be assured its support will
continue", he said. "We certainly recognise the great contribution your schools make to the education of young Australians and to their worth as citizens later in life. "Indeed, approximately one in five students in Western Australia are in non-Government school. "Of these, there are now some 34,000 students in Catholic schools in Western Australia — a remarkable contribution indeed."
SCHOOL'S IDEALS Bishop McKeon said that he had heard the suggestion that the name St. Patrick be changed to something more updated, but the same ideals of the saint 1500 years ago and given to the school 54 years ago would remain valid to the end of time. Founded in 1926 with an enrolment of 47 St. Patrick's school now has 177 pupils in Grades One to Seven. Two new classrooms that commenced operation in June cost $42,000, one for Grade Two and the other for Grade Five. The Grade Two room has a wet area for painting and other such activities. The school principal is Sister Maureen Belleville who is assisted by six full time teachers.

Two extra classrooms for Fourth and Fifth Grades and Sixth and Seventh Grades were needed urgently at St Bernard's, Kojonup.

The Catholic community of Boyup Brook is worshipping irt a new church that was blessed by Bishop McKeon last week. In natural brick, with a low pitch metal roof, it has been incorporated into the parish school design so that it can be used for other purposes when required. The original building opened early in 1957 as two classrooms, plus a small music room, catering for 75 students. A later extension was used as a Church until now, and the new church has been built as an extension to this area. .

Lake Grace parish has celebrated recently the 25th anniversary of its t wo churches, Lake Grace and Kukerin, that were opened the same day the parish was established. Bishop McKeon said Mass to mark the occasion, along with Father Galloway, Crocetti, Naisbitt, Conlan and Whitely. Midday Mass at Lake Grace was followed by lunch and an evening Mass at Kukerin during which Philip Power was confirmed. Visitors came from Esperance, Perth, Bunbury and Albany as well as Franciscan Sisters from Wagin and Sisters of Charity from Bunbury. Many former Motor Mission sisters also returned. The motor mission of Our Lady of the Missions was established by Father Crocetti in 1970. Currently, Sisters Regina and Robertus cover the vast parish which extends from Kukerin in the north to Hopetoun on the coast 160 miles away.

WASHINGTON (NC) — A proposal to end the obligation to attend Mass on several U.S. holy days has been withdrawn — at least for now — by a committee of U.S. bishops.
A newspaper report that the British Foregin O ffice had pusued — secret negotiations" w ith the Vatican regarding the possible m arriage of Prince Chalres with Catholic princess marie Astrid of Luxembourg have been denied. A spokesman for the Foregin Office said the report was "totally invented" and that "no negotiation of any kind" had taken place. The report said the Queen would discuss the marriage at her meeting with Pope John Paul II, during her visit to Italy. The 1701 British Act of Succession says that a Crown Prince willlosehis right to the throne if he marries a Catholic.

Son of the Perrott who came from Cork to WA 67 years ago
INDUSTRY LEADER'S CONCERN FOR THE CHILD Tom Perrott is an effervescent fellow who leaves you in no doubt about his views, but more often than not they are expressed with inherent Irish humour.
His father Denis Charles Perrott —usually known as DC or Charlie —migrated from Cork to WA in 1913 and in 1917 founded the small painting business that has now developed into the industrial mini-empire called c ollectively the Gardner-Perrott Group, which Tom heads. When he took over the management of its basic antecedent in 1957 the staff numbered four; now the group has more than 300 employees throughout Australia.

Their Australian concerts earlier this year were sell-outs as were those in other countries visited by the group as p art of a groundbreaking world tour. Of course, this wasn't a surprise to anyone who has followed the group's
progress since its formation two years ago. Since then they've produced three golden singles, Message in a Bottle, Walking on the Moon and Don't Stand So Close. Three others have gone silver. Two excellent albums.
Joanne Stanley, a petite beauty from Queensland, has just turned 15 andhas all the hallmarks of a star. Stunning goodlooks, an excellent voice, and a bright pop song When Love's In Your Heart. A veteran television performer since 10, Joanne recently won Best New Talent at the Queensland Variety Awards, and her modelling work is very extensive. She has been on the cover of Australian Post three times.
HOT TROUBLE
Outlandos D'Amour and Regatta De Blanc have gone platinum. Now they have a third album, Zenyatta Mondatta on the market. This is tipped by pop critics to outstrip the two previous albums in popularity. Leader of the group is 28-year-old Sting, alias Gordon Sumner, who's bass player and vocalist. His musical background includes playing with trad jazz and jazz rock groups in England. Then there's drummer, 2 7 -year -old Stewart Copeland, founder of the group and once a member of the progressive artrock group Curved Air. The third member is guitarist Andy Summers, who, at 32, has played with numerous rock and roll bands in England including Soft Machine and The Animals. It includes their latest hit, Don't Stand Too
Any Trouble is the hottest band in England. The young quartet's album, where Are All The Nice Girls, is very fresh and very welcome music. Simple pop of the Nick Lowe genre is connected to witty lyrics composed by Clive Gregson, the bespectaded singer and rhythm guitarist to produce immediately accessible songs that have the right beat for dancing and the right sound for the radio. Stand out tracks are Nice Girls (Get You Off), The Hook and the slower Girls Are Always Right.
ocRock's leading lath, Suzi Quatro, is back. On her first album for Dreamland Records, Rock Hard, Suzi's returning to the hard rock roots from which she spring boarded so many years ago. Rock Hard will be featured in the upcoming R SO film Times Square ... and is the lead single from that movie. A number of other songs on the album were penned by Suzi and guitarist/husband Len Tuckey. Suds home is still England, though she does spend a considerable amount of time in America. An incredibly dynamic personality I always in transition. Suzi will always keep our interest and broaden our imaginations, bringing her vision of rock'n'roll to the world. Close, about a love affair between a schoolteacher and a pupil. The most sensitive of the tracks is Driven to Tears, a song of bewildered personal grief at a world on the brink of disaster. Other striking songs include Man in a Suitcase, inspired by life on the road during their world tour and Bombs A way in Old Bombay and World Running Down, both concerned with the harsher realities of life.
RITA COOLIDGE
A highlight of Booker T. Jones' new album, The Best Of You, is a beautiful duet, We Could Stay Together, done with his sister -in-taw Rita Coolidge. The years have mellowed the Indiana-born Jones, who burst on to the recording scene in 1962 with his group the MGs. The single Green Onions established them as one of the hottest bands of the decade, and the group became the driving force behind the S tax/ Atlantic stable of soul singers. Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Isaac Hayes, Eddie Floyd, Rufus, Carla Thomas and William Bell are some of the many artists he's
produced. More recently, this multi-talented man has worked his magic in the studio with giants like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson and Barbra Steisand. "I've prepared myself to worKwith a wide range of music," he says. "I love music and I love people." The Best of You albumembraces a smorgasbord of styles. Smooth, sophisticated soul is the keynote of such tracks as You Got Me Spinnin' and Down to the Wire. Will You Be The One? and Pride
and Joy are sultry, smoking ballads. And just in case anyone thinks Booker T. has forgotten his raunchier roots, he tears into Sly Stone's rhythm and blues classic Stand, and his own "cooker," Cookie. The MGs are no more, but Jones has assembled a bunch of ace session musicians (James Gadson's drumming is a special treat) and vocal help from Donny Gerrard and Oren and Luther Waters. Right on!

YOUTH FORUM
HURTINLEAVING HOME Parents want their children to be happy.
Frcit‘if
But ask a young person who has left home, why he or she did so, and they will tell you it was because they were unhappy. The young peson leaves not a poverty stricken home, but often a very comfortable one, with their own room, comfortable furnishings and an abundance of earthly goods and "mod cons". The television has continually told them that these comforts would bring them happiness. Every new product and every new model, be it a swimming pool or car, is presented not for its usefulness but as a way of making a person happy, especially youth. Many youths leave a home that is full of all these things, yet happiness has eluded them and they have not found it in their own home. Ithink what youth are really looking for is a sense of unity and belonging to people. Happiness is an elusive goal. Happm ess only comes when we. are uniW.% ted with God, family and friends, To achieve this goal requires hard work and self-sacrifice. Peter Shooter, president of the Perth YCW Movement welcomes back the Parents sometimes say that we immediate past chaplain, Fr. Geoff Aldous, whose name is still on one of the youth have given our child everything and office doors. Fr Aldous, who is now chaplain at Pearce RA AF base and parish they are not happy. Often what they priest of Bindoon, continues to take an active interest in the YCS movement. have not given is themselves, and youth have not given themselves back to parents.
The youth scene this week •
With Fr. John Jegorow
The hardest fact to face for parents is, when their child does leave home angry and disillusioned. Somtimes parents retreat and try to cut themselves off with some sense of self-rightousness and try to put all the blame on the young person. The facts are that both parents and their children have caused hurt to one another when a sudden break has been made. The answer may not necessarily be that the youth should return home but the challenge for both parent and child is certainly to heal the wounds. This means that both youth and parents must make the effort to
keep personally in touch regularly and often and not allow long periods of silence to confuse and widen the gap. The real problem exists in the hearts of both the parents and child and only by coming together swallowing their pride, sitting down and talking to one another will the healing begin to take place. The scriptures' teach us that we must honour our parents and that we must not drive our children to resentment. The unity and sense of belonging learnt and experienced in the family is the solid foundation for lasting and meaningful relationships with other people throughout life.
Representatives at the Eucharistic Congress? THE Q.P. BICYCLE RALLY

THINK OF OTHERS
R ecently I have been changed back and forth to the branch offices of the company where I work.
I have had tocatch several b uses on unfamiliar runs. On one occasion, twenty to thirty slow-learning children hopped on the bus, very happy-go-lucky in a world of their own, busy nattering on their way to do a day's work in the workshop. I often find myself wondering about the slow learners. What is it like in their own world? Whether it would be hard to live in a family with a brother or sister a Slow -learner . Whether you would be ashamed or, prcud of them. What the parents go through bringing up a slow learner. T hen I sit back andthinkto Myself, thank God for my sanity, but later on I realise this is a selfish attitude to t ake; thanking God for yourself and not thanking God for the other people in the world . . . pretty selfish don't you think? I think it is about time all young people stopped for a while and looked around to see what we have in this world, instead of taking t hings for granted. E ven in our own youth group people think only of t hemsleves while others a re taken for granted.
It is about time we did something for God; to thank Him for what he has given each and every one
of us and look at it with open eyes instead of closed. Mary GRIFFIN (Medina)

Possibly the most important meaning ofjustice in the Bible is the idea of God's saving justice, tile fact that God intervenes in human affairs to save the oppressed. It is this notion ofPistice that affects the idea of the Kingdom in the New Testament. What we are about is putting those Kingdom ideas and values into action. God willusher in the Kingdombutitisincumbent on the Church to make the Kingdom values happen in the world, to share in people's struggles, to reflect what God's own Kingdom can mean in the lives of people.

"The Kingdom of God breaks in on human history and one of those breaking-in qualities is peace" said Mr. David Pollard, secretary of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in an interview last week.

"The Church has always had a welfare ministry, the St. Vincent de Paul Society, works for Aborigines, the unemployed, the poor, the destitute, the aged, the single parent, and all forms of welfare work. But there is a second question that must be looked at," said Mr Pollard. "We need to analyse society, not just bandage up the victims but ask the question why there are victims in the first place. That is the complementary side of the picture and both sides are important. "That is why we ask the questions why are there unemployed, why do Aborigines not have land rights, why do women have a special place in the problems of Australia today, what is the place of a multicultural Australia? "It is our task to see why there are problems here and why are people affected who can bring about the sort of changes we are advocating and who are the experts who should be consulted. "The Catholic Church is not the only body having a commission asking questions such as these. "Once the churches have done the analysis they must
translate this into action. It must be the view within the churches and the Catholic Church in particular that action is an inseparable and necessary part of living and preaching the gospel. "You can't have just a gospel of words, there must be a gospel of action on behalf of the poor and . oppressed. "We are starting from the assumption that there is a Christian imperative to act. Christians do not really have any choice but to act on behalf of the poor and oppressed. "The question is how to do it and not whether," Mr Pollock said. "One way to begin, is for a parish to start using its resources with some sort of preferential option for the most poor and oppressed in the parish, city or overseas depending where priorities are put. "The best resource is people's energies and time. Time needs to be spent with a poor person but the conditions have to be created by which poor people are not victims of society, to analyse why victims keep getting kicked out of society.
