"A 9SPECIAL 9 JOY

Like our predecessors we have always rejoiced in the festive occasions of our Brothers in the Episcopate; for as St. Paul says they are "our brethren, the apostles of the Churches, the glory of Christ". (2 Cor. 8,23).

Fifty years on, fifty years on Tolls the pulsing bell of time With slow and measured beat Keeping pace with the passing years. What notes of earlier bells carried on the wings of memory recall the melodies of other days. The silver tones of childhood dancing on the summer air The quickening rhythm of youth stirring the blood to greater endeavour The unhurried resonant beat of studious days as spirit disciplines recalcitrant flesh Breaking triumphant into the peal of heavenly joy at the foot of the altar of God. Succeeding years The mellow notes float over the fields where the labourer gathers an abundant harvest sown, watered and reaped by his unceasing toil. Stored by angels in the granaries of eternity. Now the shadows lengthen over the countryside. . a deeper note, grave, solemn, premonitory and on the trembling air, a voice, the elegiac cadences of the old philosopher muffled in the mists of time, falls faintly on the listening ear: "There is no happiness in this circle of flesh nor is it in the optics of these eyes to behold felicity.

In Saint Mary's Cathedral, Archbishop Goody is picturedby his A rchbishop's Chair that has a particularly personal association for him.

The chair was a gift to the new cathedral in honour of his mother b y the later Father Raphael Pace, originally from Malta. When the Goody family arrivedin Perth from London in July, 1916, they made the decision to convert to the Catholic Church from their former Anglican adherence.

Seven deacons on their way to priesthood

Rehce ord BE DIFFERENT THIS CHRISTMAS The flow and ebb of the Christmas seasonal tide is rather relentless so it is not surprising if a few faint voices are heard begging for something to be done about Christmas. The cry from the heart is usually about shopping carols in October, snow and panting reindeers littered over a hot Australian countryside where people endure enormous hot dinners as the waterbag boils. The Catholic version of the complaint would be that it is time for Christmas to undergo a little of the renewal that has swept the Church for the past decade and a half. But the feet aching from shopping or the heads throbbing from imbibing get scant relief when they dip into that handbook of renewal, the documents of the Second Vatican Council. In its hundreds of pages, the word Christmas or Nativity does not rate even a mention. Even the word Incarnation gets only one mention in the treatise on Our Lady. This does not mean that the bishops did not care or that they were ignoring the great salvation mystery of Emmanu-El. Quite the opposite. The entire Council statement is preaching God-With-Us in the most down-to-earth application to contemporary life that has ever appeared in official Church teaching. It is when we open our mouths to say what we mean that we trip up over words. For example, the Church cannot find a single universal word for the Birth of Christ and it is the speaker of the English language who causes the most misunderstanding. Back in 1066, we are told, when they were happily chattering in Olde English, the Anglo Saxons must have known what was going on when "Christes Messe" became the trendy in-word for this time of the year. They had little thought for their language descendants 1000 years later who would cover a quarter of the globe and would not have a clue about what was meant back in those hearty Christian times. Thus on December 25 about half of the local Catholics will have some realisation that they are celebrating CHRIST'S MASS. That leaves about seven eighths of the Australian population completely in the dark. Other Christians will of course celebrate the Feast, — but with Christ's Mass? The pain of a divided Christendom is still with us. It is a boring commonplace now for sophisticated commentators to point out that over the ages Christians did not mind bending one or two seasonal exuberances to their advantage. It does not really matter if we took over successfully the winter solstice that called for a good stiff drink around the fire, or whether we reformed the spring rites. We started too late to win the race for the summer exhaustion that captivates the southern hemisphere in late December. The process is now in reverse and today the majority have pilfered Christmas and Easter back from the Christians. The Japanese have adapted most successfully, managing to celebrate quite a hearty Christmas without having to mention Christ at all. In case he is in doubt the Christian can get a boost f rom a well aimed sales campaign that has been mounted by his shopkeeper — of Christian, Hebrew or no faith at all. Today's Christian sits by the side of a road that is hazardous to cross because the signs have been moved. Some people are exasperated because X-mas became the new cryptic short cut to a celebration. Do people understand the full word Christmas any better or know more intimately the Christ whose name they mouth? The feet that are tired and the voices that are hoarse from too much socialising could well look to Isaiah for relief: Where are the feet bringing messages of peace and reconciliation to homes in our suburbs? Where is the wolf lying down with the lamb in class conflict and racial bigotry that surfaces continually? Who is straightening the crooked paths of swindling, manipulation, greed and self indulgence? Where are the leaders determined to flatten the mountains that lie between the poor and rich on this earth? "Did you have a good Christmas?" the world will ask in a week's time. A lot of money and energy will have been spent in the race to spend a better Christmas. Let us give up trying to win that race. Instead the Christian ought to be able to say that his Christmas was different. Only then will the world possibly realise that the Word was made Flesh and pitched His Tent among us. 08•01•• 1 2 6 John Street, Perth WA 6000 • Correspondence • The Editor, The Record, PO Box 50 • Aberdeen Street, Perth, 6000 • Advertising • Vanguard Service Telephone 328 1388 : 4 registered for posting as a newspaper Category "A" (11) • Produced in WA Printed and published weekly by Edward vanHeemst. 2 6 John Street, Perth E stablished 1874

r FIVE OF THEM ARE PICTURED HERE t Conviction: Work amongst people

DEACON TREVOR SIMONS (pictured above) says that his decision to prepare for the priesthood is the result of a conviction that he would work amongst people 'in a more personal way. During the summer vacation away from St. Paul's Seminary, Kensington, he will serve in St. Gerard's parish at Mirrabooka. With his family he migrated from India 15 years ago following his education with the Jesuits in Bombay. His family are members of the Willagee parish and Deacon Simons has been organist at Cottesloe church. He spent 8 years with the WA public service before entering the seminary. Of Saint Paul's seminary which was founded specifically by the bishops of Australia as a special training institute for late vocations, Deacon Simons remarks: "It is a place that provides a realistic environment which confronts, rather than consoles, men with the reality of the world they live in. "It gives them hope that they may cling more to the ideals of Christianity. "In my three years in such an environment I can say that I have arrived at a greater understanding of Saint Paul's works: "I live now not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives in me.

Two will be ordained at Geraldton This summer the parishes of Perth and Geraldton are being served by seven deacons on their way to ordination for the priesthood. Five of them are featured on this and the opposite page. In Geraldton Deacons Michael Morrissey and Peter Sharry will be ordained on January 31. The Perth deacons have been studying at seminaries in Adelaide. Melbourne and Sydney. The diaconate is the first of the Major Orders of the Church, the others being priest and bishop. The Church requires candidates for the diaconate who are under 35 years of age to make a commitment of celibacy. They may remain either permanent deacons or then proceed to the priesthood. After the deacon has finished either the full seminary course or the special shortened course for late vocations in St. Paul's Seminary, Kensington, NSW they do a short pastoral period in parish work after which they make a decision to proceed to the priesthood and accordingly make an application to the local bishop.

ton, NSW, and hopes to be ordained priest in the coming year. The son of Joan and the late Bill Donovan, of Como, he has seen his journey to the priesthood as a 15-year pilgrimage that included six years with the Redemptorist Order and a year as a full-time worker in Highett, Vic., as well as parish banking and the public service. time in "At Saint Paul's seminary Ihave my life with men from all parts of shared Australia as well as Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.

"The time in a seminary has made me discover the great need for prayer in the life of a Christian, and for God to play the major part in my life. "This has been the result of regular spiritual direction at the seminary and the accent on prayer and spiritual development as well as social awareness. "This has combined to give me complete confidence in what Saint Paul's seminary is all about."

Priesthood is life's ambition "Thoughts of the priesthood have been with me most of my life," says REV, GREG DONOVAN (pictured right), deacon serving this summer at the Saint Joseph Pignatelli parish of Attadale. "Looking back over the last 15 years I have to admit that the Lord has been supporting me very much — especially whenI felt most alone. "I see my time as a deacon as important period in my growth in the Church. The word deacon means service and is a reminder of Jesus' words: 'I came not to be served but to serve.' Deacon Donovan has one further year of study at Saint Paul's Seminary, Kensing-

For DEACON KEVIN CRONIN, (pictured left) in service at Inglewood during the summer, three years at St. Paul's seminary have developed him along lines not formally set out in the curriculum. "Learning to live with a changing group of men from diverse backgrounds intellectually and socially, was not always easy but I am sure it is very necessary," he said. "Study has been hard and demanding but not impossible. Many of us are far removed from our school days and it is an effort for me it is an effort for them too. If there was no effort maybe there would be no satisfaction. Still surprised that he has been called to the priesthood Deacon Cronin says that if he was not aware of it sooner it was because his former experience was a background making him ready to be called.

Seven years an eternity but all too short DEACON JOSEPH PARKINSON (pictured right) describes himself as coming into a third family as he takes up service in the parish of Rockingham. "So far I have had two families and two homes -- one in a family of nine children in Osborne Park and the other in the seminary. "The third family now comprises the Christians of the archdiocese. Deacon Parkinson has just finished the full seven-year course that spanned years at Saint Charles' Seminary, Guildford, and Saint Francis Xavier Seminary, Adelaide. "In retrospect the preparation seems all too short although in 1974 the seven years ahead seemed an eternity. "In a sense it is sad to leave the happy brotherhood of a seminary after all that time, but all those years were spent preparing for this step, passing to a new beginning, a new life of service among God's people in answer to his call. "In the parish I shall have to test the seminary theory in practice, discover the Christian community, find my own strengths and weaknesses in God's service. 'My time as a deacon is more than a question of being able to administer some sacraments. "It is time to share in the life of the Christian community, to grow closer to the people I seek to serve and to know and love them in that service. ************

"The (plumbing) trade is becoming so complicated now that you have to have an extensive knowledge of building and a number of other subjects ranging from John Cartwright drainage to nuclear waste disposal"

Plumber with several skills

Plumbers nowadays require such a wide range of skills and knowledge that the trade in which they are engaged could be described as light engineering rather than plumbing.

"The new Santa Maria boarding school, for instance, will be entirely solarheated." A difficulty faced by plumbing consultants is that with many old buildings there are no records of drains and other plumbing services in the grounds and buildings. This leads to a lot of costly research and time-consuming probing. When a plumbing consultant does the planning, the exact location of everything is carefully recorded to make it easier for those undertaking future work on the site.

Christian families

The following message was released by the Bishops who attended the recent Synodin Rome on Christian family life. They recommended that the Holy Father, after studying their deliberations, issue a letter on this theme to the Catholic world.

Situation of families toda

In our discussions of family life today we have found joys and consolations, sorrows and difficulties. We must look first for the good things and seek to build on them and make them perfect, confident always that God is present everywhere in His creatures and that we can discern His will in the signs of our times.

We are encouraged by the many good and positive things that we see. We rejoice that so many families, even in the face of great pressure to do otherwise, gladly fulfil the God-given mission entrusted to them. Their goodness and fidelity in responding to God's grace and shaping their lives by his teaching give us a great hope. The number of families who consciously want to live the life of the Gospel, giving witness to the fruits of the Spirit, continues to grow in all our lands. During this past month we have learned much about the many and varied cultural conditions which Christian families live. The Church must accept and foster this rich diversity, while at the same time encouraging Christian families to give effective witness to God's plan within their own cultures. But all cultural elements must be evaluated in light of the Gospel, to insure that they are consistent with the divine plan for marriage and the family. This duty — of acceptance and evaluation — is part of the same task of discernment. A more serious problem than that of culture is the condition of those families who live in need in a world of such great wealth. In many parts of the globe, as well as within individual countries, poverty is increasing as a result of social, economic and political structures which foster injustice, oppression and dependence. Conditions in many places are such as to prevent many young men and women from exercising their right to marry and lead decent lives. In the more developed countries, on the other hand, one finds another kind of deprivation: a spiritual emptiness in the midst of abundance, a misery of mind and spirit which makes it difficult for people to understand God's will for human life and causes them to be anxious about the present and fearful of the future. Many find it difficult to enter into and live up to the permanent commitment of marriage. Their hands are full, but their wounded hearts are waiting for a Good Samaritan who will bind up their wounds, pouring on them the wine and oil of health and gladness. Often certain governments and some international organisations do violence to families. The integrity of the home is violated. Family rights in regard to religious liberty, responsible parenthood, and education are not respected. Families regard themselves as wards and victims rather than as human beings responsible for their own affairs. Families are compelled — and this we oppose vehemently — to use such immoral means for the solution of social, economic and demographic problems as contraception or, even worse, sterilisation, abortion and euthanasia. The synod therefore urges a charter of family rights to safeguard these rights everywhere. Underlying many of the problems confronting families and indeed the world at large is the fact that many people seem to reject their fundamental vocation to participate in God's life and love. They are obsessed with the desire to possess, the will or power, the quest for pleasure. Instead of looking upon their fellow human

beings is brothers and sisters, members of the human family, they regard them as obstacles and adversaries. Where people lose their sense of God, the heavenly Father, they also lose their sense of the human family. How can human beings see one another as brothers and sisters if they have lost their consciousness of having a common Father? The fatherhood of God is the only basis for the unity of the Human Family. God's eternal plan is that all men and women should participate and share in the divine life and being. The Father summons people to realise this plan in union with their fellow human beings, thus forming the People of God.

THE FAMILY'S RESPONSE TO GOD'S PLAN In a special way the family is called to carry out this divine plan. It is, as it were, the first cell of the Church, helping its members to become agents of the history of salvation and living signs of God's loving plan for the world. God created us in his own image and he gave us the mission to increase and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it. To carry out this plan man and woman are joined in an intimate union of love for the service of life. God calls spouses to participate in his creative power by handing on the gift of life. In the fullness of time, the Son of Man born of woman enriched marriage with his saving grace, elevating it to the level of a sacrament and causing it to share in the covenant of his redemptive love sealed with his blood. Christ's love and gift to the Church and those of the Church to Christ become the model of the mutual love and self-giving of man and woman. The sacramental grace of matrimony is a source of joy and strength to the spouses. As ministers of this sacrament, they truly act in the person of Christ himself and bring about their mutual sanctification. Spouses must be conscious of this grace and of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Each day dear brothers and sisters, you must hear Christ saying to you: "If only you recognised God's gift". This divine plan shows us why the Church believes and teaches that the covenant of love and self-giving between two people joined in sacramental marriage must be both permanent and indissoluble. It is a covenant of love and life. The transmission of life is inseparable from the conjugal union. The conjugal act itself, as the en-cyclical Humanae Vitae (9 and 11) tells us, must be fully human, total, exclusive and open to new life.

GOD'S PLAN FOR MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY

God's plan for marriage and the family can only be fully understood, accepted, and lived by persons who have experienced conversion of heart, that radical turning of the self to God by which one puts off the "old" self and puts on the "new". All are called to conversion and sanctity. We must all come to the knowledge and love of the Lord and experience him in our lives, rejoicing in his love and mercy, his patience, compassion and forgiveness, and loving one another as he loves us. Husbands and wives, parents and children, are instruments and ministers of Christ's fidelity and love in their mutal relationships. It is this which makes Christian marraige and family life authentic signs of God's love for us and of Christ's love for the Church. But the pain of the cross, as well as the joy of the Resurrection, is part the life of one who seeks as a pilgrim to follow Christ. Only those who are fully open to the Paschal Mystery can accept the difficult but loving demands which Jesus Christ makes of us. If because of human weakness one does not live up to these demands, there is no reason for discouragement. "Let them not be discouraged, but rather have recourse with humble perseverance to the mercy of God". Just as we are doing, you also are seeking to learn what your duties are in today's world.

In looking at the world, we see facing you certain important tasks of education. You have the tasks of forming free persons with a keen moral sense and a discerning conscience, together with a perception of their duty to work for the betterment of the human condition and the sanctification of the world. Another task for the family is to form persons in love and also to practise love in all its r elationships, so that it does not live closed in on itself but remains open to the community, moved by a sense of justice and concern for others as well as by a consciousness of its responsibility toward the whole of society. It is your duty to form persons in the faith — that is in knowledge and love of God and eagerness to do His will in all things. It is also your task to hand on sound human and Christian values and to form persons in such a way that they can integrate new values into their lives. The more Christian the family becomes the more human it becomes. In fulfilling these tasks the family will be, as it were a "domestic church" a community of faith living in hope and love, serving God and the entire human family. Shared prayer and the liturgy are sources of grace for families. Within the larger community it has a duty to give witness to Christian values. It should foster social justice and relief of the poor and oppressed. Family organisations should be encouraged to protect their rights by opposing unjust social structures and public and private policies which harm the family. Such organisations should also exercise a healthy influence on the communications media and build up social solidarity. Special praise is due to those family organisations whose purpose is to help other married couples and families appreciate God's plan and live by it. This like-to-like ministry should be encouredtstrays. part of comprehensive family a mgtn Out of a sense of fidelity to the Gospel, the family should be prepared to welcome new life, to share its goods and resources with the

y inn ry o ver, special interest

During the Synod we have grown in awareness of the Church's duty to encourage and support couples and families. We have deepened out commitment in this regard.

Family ministry is of very special interest to the Church. By this we mean efforts made by the whole People of God through local communities, especially through the help of pastors and lay people devoted to pastoral work for families. They work with individuals, couples, and families to help them live out their conjugal vocation as fully as possible. This ministry includes preparation for marriage; help given to married couples at all stages of married life; catechetical and liturgical programmes directed to the family; help given to childless couples, single-parent families, the widowed, the separated and divorced, and in particular, to families and couples laboring under burdens like poverty, emotional and psychological tensions, physical and mental handicaps, alcohol and drug abuse, and the problems associated with migration and other circumstances which strain family stability. The priest has a special place in family ministry.

It is his duty to bring the nourishment and consolation of the word of God, the sacraments, and other spiritual aids to the family, encouraging it, and in a human and patient way, strengthening it in charity so that families which are truly outstanding can be formed. One precious fruit of this ministry, along with others, ought to be the flourishing of priestly and religious vocations. In speaking of God's plan, the Church has many things to say to men and women about the essential equality and complementarity of the sexes, as well as about the different charisms and duties of spouses within marriage. Husband and wife are certainly different, but they are also equal. The difference should be respected but never used to justify the domination of one by the other. In collaboration with society, the Church must effectively affirm and defend the dignity and rights of women.

Conclusions

As we reach the end of our message, we wish to say to you, brothers and sisters, that we are fully aware of the frailty of our common human condition. In no way do we ignore the very difficult and trying situation of the many Christian couples who, although they sincerely want to observe the moral norms taught by the Church, find themselves unequal to the task because of weaknesses in the face of difficulties. All of us need to grow in appreciation of the importance of Christ's teachings and his grace and to live by them. Accompanied and assisted by the whole Church, those couples continue along the difficult way toward a more complete fidelity to the commands of the Lord. The journey of married couples, like the whole journey of human life, meets with delays and difficult and burdensome times. But it must be clearly stated that anxiety or fear should never be found in the souls of people of good will. For is not the Gospel also good news for family life? For all the demands it makes is it not a profoundly liberating message? The awareness that one has not achieved his full interior liberty and is still at the mercy of his tendencies and finds himself unable to obey the moral law in an area so basic causes deep distress. But this is the moment in which the Christian, rather than giving way to sterile and destructive panic, humbly opens up his soul before God and a sinner before the saving love of Christ. Everything we have said about marriage and the family can be summed up in two words; love and life. As we come to the end of this Synod we pray that you, our brothers and sisters, may grow in the love and life of God. In turn we humbly and gratefully beg your prayers that we may do the same. We make St. Paul's words to the Colossians our final words to you: "Over all these virtues put on love, which binds the rest together and makes them perfect. Christ's peace must reign in your hearts, since as members of the one body you have been called to that peace. Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness."

TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE, PRACTICE

Both in the East and in the West the practice of baptising infants is considered a rule of immemorial tradition. Origen, and later Saint Augustine, considered it a "tradition received from the Apostles".

When the first direct evidence of infant baptism appears in the second century, it is never presented as an innovation. Saint lrenaeus, in particular, considers it a matter of course that the baptized should include "infants and small children" as well as adolescents, young adults and older people. The oldest known ritual, describing at the Pope Paul VI also solemnly recalled the start of the third century the Apostolic Tradicenturies-old teaching on this matter, declartion, contains the following rule: "First baping that "baptism should be conferred even on tize the children." infants who are yet unable to commit any sin "Those of them who can speak for thempersonally, in order that, having been born selves should do so.

The pastoral effort

While certain suggestions being put forward today cannot be accepted — suggestions such as the definitive abandonment of infant baptism and freedom to choose, whatever the reasons, between immediate baptism and deferred baptism — one cannot deny the need for a pastoral effort pursued in greater depth and renewed in certain aspects.

It is appropriate to indicate the principles and fundamental guidelines at this point. In the first place it is important to recall that the baptism of infants must be considered a serious duty. The questions which it poses to pastors can be settled only by faithful attention to the teaching and constant practice of the Church. Concretely, pastoral practice regarding infant baptism must be governed by two great principles, the second of which is subordinate to the first. (1) Baptism, which is necessary for salvation, is the sign and the means of God's pre-existing love, which frees us from original sin and communicates to us a share in divine life. Considered in itself, the gift of these blessings to infants must not be delayed. (2) Assurances must be given that the gift thus granted can grow by an authentic

"It is done by the whole of Mother Church which is in the saints, since it is as a whole that she gives birth to each and every one of them." This teaching is repeated by Saint Thomas Aquinas and all the theologians after him: the child who is baptized believes not on its own account, by a personal act, but through others, "through the Church's faith communicated to it". This same teaching is also expressed in the new Rite of Baptism, when the celebrant asks the parents and godparents to profess the faith of the Church, the faith in which the children are baptized. Although the Church is truly aware of the efficacy of her faith operating in the baptism of children, and aware of the validity of the sacrament that she confers on them, she recognizes limits to her practice. Apart from cases of danger of death, she does not admit a child to baptism without its parents' consent and a serious assurance that after baptism it will be given a Catholic upbringing. This is because she is concerned both for the natural rights of the parents and for the requirements of the development of faith in the child.

As a rule, these assurances are to be given by the parents or close relatives, although various msm tituuntiiotyn.s are possible within the Christian eso ub But if these assurances are not really serious there can be grounds for delaying the sacrament; and if they are certainly nonexistent the sacrament should even be refused.

DIALOGUE On the basis of these two principles, concrete cases will be examined in a pastoral dialogue between the priest and the family. The rules for dialogue with parents who are practising Christians are given in the Introduction to the Ritual. It is sufficient to recall here two of the more significant points. In the first place, much importance is given to the presence and active participation of the parents in the celebration. The parents now have priority over the godparents, although the presence of the latter continues to be child's since their assistance in the education is valuable and can sometimes be essential. has Secondly, preparation for the baptism give an important place. The parents must inform thought to the baptism; they should prepare and birth their elco.ming ly ha rsspoirfittu themselves the The pastors, for their part, will visitthem families or gather them together and give Will catechesis and appropriate advice.

What are the answers to. ..

OBJECTIONS AND DIFFICULTIES? P ASTORAL EFFORT (Continued from P.12) death, it is to be baptized without delay"; otherwise, as a rule "an infant should be baptized within the first weeks after birth".

LITTLE FAITH It sometimes happens that pastors are approached by parents who have little faith and practise their religion only occasionally, or even by non-Christian parents who request baptism for their children for reasons that deserve consideration. In this case the pastor will endeavour by means of a clear-sighted and understanding dialogue to arouse the parents' interest in the sacrament they are requesting and make them aware of the responsibility that they are assuming. In fact the Church can only accede to the desire of these parents if they give an assurance that, once the child is baptized, it will be given the benefit of the Christian upbringing required by the sacrament. The Church must have a well-founded hope that the baptism will bear fruit. If the assurances given — for example, the choice of godparents who will take sincere care of the child, or the support of the community of the faithful —are sufficient, the priest cannot refuse to celebrate the sacrament without delay, as in the case of children of Christian families. If, on the other hand, they are insufficient, it will be prudent to delay baptism. However, the pastors should keep in contact with the parents so as to secure, if possible, the conditions required on their part for the celebration of the sacrament. If even this solution fails, it can be suggested, as a last recourse, that the child be enrolled in a catechumenate to be given when the child reaches school age. These rules have already been made and are already in force, but they require some clarifications. (1) It must be clear that the refusal of baptism is not a means of exercising pressure. Nor can one speak of refusal, still less of discrimination, but rather of educational delay, according to individual cases, aimed at helping the family to grow in faith or to become more aware of its responsibilities. (2) With regard to the assurances, any pledge giving a well-founded hope for the

Christian upbringing of the children deserves to be considered as sufficient. (3) Enrolment for a future catechumenate should not be accompanied by a specially created rite which would easily be taken as an equivalent of the sacrament itself. It should also be clear that this enrolment is not admittance to the catechumenate and that the infants enrolled cannot be considered catechumens with all the prerogatives attached to being such. They must be presented later on for a catechumenate suited to their age. In this regard, it must be stated clearly that the existence in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults of a Rite of Initiation for Children of Catechetical Age in no way means that the Church considers it preferable or normal to delay baptism until that age. (4) In areas where families of little faith or non-Christian families make up the majority, so as to justify the local setting up by the Bishops' Conference of a joint pastoral plan which provides for postponing baptism beyond the time fixed by the general law, Christian families living in these areas retain the full right to have their children baptized earlier. The sacrament is therefore to be administered in accordance with the Church's will and as the faith and generosity of these families deserve.

FAMILY, COMMUNITY The pastoral effort brought into play on the occasion of the baptism of infants should be part of a broader activity extending to the families and to the whole of the Christian community. From this viewpoint it is important to intensify pastoral care of engaged couples at meetings in preparation for marriage, and likewise the pastoral care of young couples. The whole ecclesial community must be part of it. The Congregation also hopes that the teaching and guidelines contained in this Instruction will reach all pastors, Christian parents and the ecclesial community, so that all will become aware of their responsibilities and make their contribution, through the baptism of children and their Christian education, to the growth of the Church, the Body of Christ.

It is in the light of the teaching recalled above that we must judge certain views which are expressed today about infant baptism and which question its legitimacy as a general rule. Noting that in the New Testament writings baptism follows the preaching of the Gospel, presupposes conversion and goes with a profession of faith, and furthermore that the effects of grace (forgiveness of sins, justification, rebirth and sharing in divine life) are generally linked with faith rather than with the sacrament, some people propose that the order "preaching, faith, sacrament" should become the rule.

Apart from cases of danger of death, they would apply this rule to children, and would institute an obligatory catechumenate for them. It is beyond doubt that the preaching of the Apostles was normally directed to adults, and the first to be baptized were people converted to the Christian faith. As these facts are related in the books of the New Testament, they could give rise to the opinion that it is only the faith of adults that is considered in these texts. However, as was mentioned above, the practice of baptizing children rests on an immemorial tradition originating from the Apostles, the importance of which cannot be ignored; besides, baptism is never administered without faith: in the case of infants, it is the faith of the Church. Furthermore, in accordance with the teaching of the Council of Trent on the sacraments, baptism is not just a sign of faith but also a cause of faith. It produces in the baptized "interior enlightenment", and so the Byzantine liturgy is right to call it the sacrament of enlightenment, or simply enlightenment, meaning that the faith received pervades the soul and causes the veil of blindness to fall before the brightness of Christ.

'PERSONAL' GRACE It is also said that, since every grace is

intended for a person, it should be consciously accepted and appropriated by the person who receives it, something that an infant is quite incapable of doing. But in reality the child is a person long before it can show it by acts of consciousness and freedom. As a person, the child is already capable of becoming, through the sacrament of baptism, a child of God and a coheir with Christ. Later, when consciousness and freedom awake, they will have at their disposal the powers placed in the child's soul by the grace of baptism. Some people also object that baptizing infants is a restriction of their freedom. They say that it is contrary to the dignity of the children as persons to impose on them future religious obligations that they may perhaps later be led to reject. In this view it would be better to confer the sacrament only at an age when free commitment has become possible; until then parents and teachers should restrain themselves and avoid exercising any pressure. Such an attitude is simply an illusion: there is no such thing as pure human freedom, immune from being influenced in any way. Even on the natural level, parents make choices for their child that are essential for its life and for its orientation towards true values. A so-called neutral attitude on the part of the family with regard to the child's religious life would in fact be a negative choice that would deprive the child of an essential good. Above all, those who claim that the sacrament of baptism compromises a child's freedom forget that every individual, baptized or not, is, as a creature, bound by indefeasible duties to God, duties which baptism ratifies and ennobles through the adoption as a child of God. They also forget that the New Testament presents entry into the Christian life not as a form of slavery or constraint but as admittance to true freedom. It can happen that, when a child grows up, it will reject the obligations derived from its baptism. Although its parents may be hurt as a result, they should not reproach themselves for having had the child baptized and giving it a Christian upbringing, as was their right and their duty. In spite of appearances, the seeds of faith sown in the child's soul may one day come to life again, and the parents will contribute to this by their patience and love, by their prayers and by the authentic witness of their own faith.

TODAY'S SOCIETIES In view of the link between the person and society, some people hold that infant baptism is still suitable in a homogeneous type of society, in which values, judgments and customs form a coherent system. But they hold that it is inappropriate in today's pluralistic societies, which are characterized by instability of values and conflicts of

ideas. In the present situation, they say baptism should be delayed until the candidate's personality has sufficiently matured. The Church is well aware that she must take the social reality into account. But the criteria of homogeneity and pluralism are merely pointers and cannot be set up as normative principles; they are inadequate for settling a strictly religious question, which by its nature is a matter for the Church and the Christian family. While the criterion of the homogeneous society would legitimize infant baptism if the society is Christian, it would also lead one to consider it as illegitimate when Christian families are in a minority, whether within an ethnic group that is still predominantly pagan or in a militantly atheistic regime. This obviously cannot be admitted. The criterion of the pluralistic society is no more valid than the preceding criterion, since in this type of society the family and the Church can act freely and accordingly provide a Christian education. Besides, a study of history clearly shows that if these "sociological" criteria had been applied in the first centuries of the Church they would have paralyzed all her missionary expansion. It is worth adding that all too often pluralism is being invoked in a paradoxical way, in order to impose on the faithful behaviour patterns that in reality are an obstacle to the exercise of their Christian freedom. In a society whose mentality, customs and laws are no longer inspired by the Gospel it is therefore of great importance that in questions connected with infant baptism the Church's own nature and mission should be taken into consideration before all else. In spite of being intermingled with human society and in spite of being made up of different nationalities and cultures, the People of God has its own identity, characterized by unity of faith and sacraments. Animated as it is by a single spirit and a single hope, it is an organic whole, capable of producing within the various groups of humanity the structures necessary for its growth. It is in this context that the Church's sacramental pastoral practice, in particular with regard to infant baptism, must be placed; her practice must not depend only on criteria borrowed from the human sciences.

CRITICISM A final criticism of infant baptism would have it that the practice comes from a pastoral usage lacking missionary impetus and concerned more with administering a sacrament than with stirring up faith and fostering commitment to spreading the Gospel. It is asserted that, by retaining infant baptism, the Church is yielding to the temptation of numbers and social establishment, and that she is encouraging the maintenance of a magical concept of the sacraments, while she really ought to engage in missionary activity, bring the faith of Christians to maturity, foster their free conscious commitment, and consequently admit a number of stages in her sacramental pastoral practice. Undoubtedly, the Church's apostolate should aim at stirring up lively faith and fostering a truly Christian life; but the requirements of pastoral practice with regard to administering the sacraments to adults cannot be applied unchanged to children who, as mentioned above, are baptized "in the faith of the Church". Besides, we must not treat lightly the necessity of the sacrament: it is a necessity that has lost none of its importance and urgency, especially when what is at stake is ensuring that the child receives the infinite blessing of eternal life. With regard to preoccupation with numbers, if this preoccupation is properly understood it is not a temptation or an evil for the Church but a duty and a blessing. The Church, described by Saint Paul as Christ's "body" and his "fullness", is the visible sacrament of Christ in the world, with the mission of extending to everyone the sacramental link between her and her glorified S- viour. Accordingly, she cannot fail to wish to give to everyone, children no less than adults, the first and basic sacrament of baptism.

If it is understood in this way, the practice of infant baptism is truly evangelical, since it has the force of witness, manifesting God's initiative and the gratuitous character of the love with which he surrounds our lives: "not that we loved God but that he loved us... We love, because he first loved us". Even in the case of adults, the demands that the reception of baptism involves should not make us forget that "he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of r egeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit".

Christmas highlights My work with the Catholic E ducation Commission, initially with Sister Marguerite and later with Father Ronan, was mainly' concerned with the State high school apostolate in running camps and religious instruction for State high school pupils.

Miss Pat Hendry was the first lay assistant to he appointed on a full-time basis to any parish in W A. Since 1975 she has filled this role at St. Brigiers parish in : Midland. Born at Palmyra, she was educated at Victoria Square Convent and a business college before getting her first job as a :! receptionist at the Adelphi Hotel. From 1952-59 she was a medical typist with the Repatriation Department, mainly at Hollywood Hospital, and then she spent 12 years at the Royal Perth Hospital as secretary to the Thoracic and Open-Heart Surgery Unit and secretary to the Medical Superintendent. Before taking up her present position she was secretary to Father Nestor, Director of Catholic Education.

Part of my present job is to do office work and book-keeping for both the parish and the Franciscan friars. I am liaison officer for the coordination of all parish groups and I have been appointed a member of the executive of the parish council. Iam deeply involved in the liturgy group and the Sacramental programme for Government schools which starts in February and runs right through the school year. We prepare the children for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion and in the past two years we have prepared some adults for Confirmation and We have taken over two former instructed adult converts in the school music rooms adjacent to the faith. church and in them we run a shop In addition to being involved in as a service to parishioners where most of the parish I run the domes- they can buy religious articles. tic side of the friary which houses It has gradually gained in popufour Franciscan priests. larity and now customers come An interesting aspect of this side from as far away as Kalamunda of my work is the visiting friars I and Mundaring. meet from the Eastern States and They can buy Bibles, Christmas overseas. cards, rosary beads, statues, I organise readers' seminars, plaques and other items. make banners for the church in my We built and paid for our church spare time and arrange flowers in in eight years, but there is still a big the church for weddings and spe- parish debt. cial occasions.

Set in a small English town, the movie is a disturbing, but perceptive, tale of an average English family. Mason plays the tyrannical father trying to instil his moral beliefs on a family which has turned against him. Susan George in his teenage daughter towards whom he directs the brunt of his anger. Mason is a child of the Depression and continuously harasses his family with tirades about the "old days when you had to work hard for your daily bread". Mason's fanaticisms gradually tear the family apart until he finds his wife trying to commit suicide by jumping into the canal. The man is struck with the sudden realisation of what he has done, but it may be too late for the damage to be repaired.

- Host of Channel NINE's 'Clapperboard', Michael • Brock, was in for a lively time when he arranged an -N.interview with star of 'Superman II', Sarah Douglas. The lovely young lady was in Perth to promote the opening of the film and Brock was the first in line for an interview. But from start to finish, Sarah had the crew in hysterics as she proceeded to send her interviewer up in her own inimitable style! According to the producer of 'Clapperboard', Bruce Dargie, Sarah Douglas was the best talent he has ever worked with. "We have had lots of big stars appear on the show, but Sarah was the easiest to work with. She was totally cooperative, in fact she would have done anything we asked her. She came across as a very e ffervescent, very easy sort of person," he said. The inteview will be featured in the special 'Clapperboard' Christmas show on December 1 8.

"Iles's" call to the boys

Brother Boyd Egan, guest of honour at the Aquinas College Junior School speech night, had a message for both boys and their parents. He first addressed the boys: "To the boys I wish to address these remarks. "These your parents and grandparents, are the people who, within just six to seven decades — 1914-1980 — have, by their work, increased your life expectancy by approximately 50 per cent.

These are the people, who while cutting the working day by a third have more than doubled per-capita output. These are the people who have given you a healthier world than they found. And because of this you no longer have to fear epidemics of flu, typhus, diptheria, smallpox, scarlet fever, measles or mumps that they knew in their youth, and the dreaded polio is no longer a medical factor, while TB is almost unheard of. "Let me remind you that these remarkable people lived through history's greatest depression. "Many of these people know what it is to be poor, what it is to be hungry and cold, and because of that, they determined that it would not happen to you, that you would have a better life, you would have food to eat, milk to drink, vitamins to nourish you, a warm home, better schools, and greater opportunities to succeed than they had. "Because they gave you the best, you are the tallest, healthiest, brightest and probably the best-looking generation to inhabit the land. "And because they were materialistic, Brother Boyd Egan pictured on a return visit to Aquinas College where he taught for 22 years. you work fewer hours, learn more, have more leisure time, travel to more distant places, and have more of a chance to follow your life's ambition.

WHAT EDUCATION MEANS

The school has one of the most difficult and awesome tasks man can undertake. Both parents and teachers need occasional pauses to ask what It is all about. "The child consciously or unconsciously develops "Sometimes the school appears to be achieving little and the little appears most insignificant in a world which is apt to judge only by outward appearances.

"One big difficulty the school faces is the assumption that learning is an end in itself, that the purpose of a school is to impart knowledge. It is far more than that. "Learning is a tool; in some cases it is a practical t ool, leading to social security. "This aspect of learning presents a trap for t eacher, pupil and parents. "It may lead to an overemphasis on the material use of learning — the ensuring of opportunities for admission to universities, the entrance to a profession or the foundation of a career. "This aspect of schooling is undoubtedly important. Its vital influence on material welfare ensures that all of us will keep it in mind. "Education is much more than that. "The school develops the intellectual capacity of the boys, not only for the practical business of making a living and achieving social prestige, but to assist them in their encounters with men, environment, goods and institutions. "The boys must be trained to acquire socially and morally approved behaviour patterns. They must develop their fundamental skills, creative ability, critical thinking skills and value judgements. Knowledge must become a guide to life. "May I point out that every man is responsible for his own character development. "The school can instruct, it can guide, it can advise, it can perhaps inspire, but the moulding and making of character rests largely with the response of the individual. "The school presents truth — religious truth, social truth, scientific truth, literary and mathematical truth. The boys grow up in this atmosphere of t ruth, but the final decision rests with themselves. The power for moral integrity is within the individual, and he alone can free it to blossom into a glorious flower. "But there is a most important factor in education Which the school cannot provide. That is the love, guidance and instruction provided by Christian parents.

a code of conduct which mirrors in minature that of his parents. "In the process of growth and survival children soon develop remarkably wise insight into what things are said for the saying's sake and what things are meant to be done. "Does he hear you say this or that should be done, and then hears you brag about how you got away with not doing it, or when caught breaking the rules, always blame the other person, the weather, the boss, the conditions, prejudiced witnesses — anybody or anything, but never yourself? "The idea of accepting responsibility to society or whatever it may be can always be avoided with a good alibi. "So Ipoint out that without the Christian instruction and example provided by the home, much of the work at the school would be in vain. "I appeal to you then, to see to it that your sons receive a truly Christian education in the home. Only then will they really benefit from the efforts of the teachers in the school." .•••••••••••••••••••••-•••••••.

"These are also the people who fought men's grisliest war and other wars since. "They are the people who defeated the tyranny of Hitler, faced Communism in Borneo, Malaya, Korea and Vietnam. "These are also the people, who when the wars were over, had the compassion to help their former enemies rebuild their homelands. "They built thousands of high schools, trained and hired tens of thousands of better teachers and at the same time made higher education a very real possibility for millions of youngsters — where once it was only the dream of the wealthy few. "While they have done all these things, they have had some failures. They have not yet foundan alternative to war, nor for racial hatred. "Perhaps you will perfect the social mechanisms by which all men may follow their ambitions without the threat of force. "And if your generation can make as much progress in as many areas as these generations have, you should be able to solve a good many of the world's remaining ills. "It is my hope and the hope of these generations, that you find the answers to many of these problems that plague mankind. "So try to do as well as your parents and grandparents have done. It won't be easy. And you won't do it by negative thoughts, by tearing down, nor by belittling. You may do it by hard work, humility, hope and faith in God."

Brother Egan the man When Brother Boyd Egan says that he is coming up to his 50th year as a Christian Brother it comes as a bit of a jolt to hear what he means by being "retired". "I felt I needed a retread" he says modestly about a 12-month selfdevelopment pastoral course he has just completed so that he can take up work with elderly lonely people in homes or hospitals in the parish of Chatswood, N. S. W. He calls his new activity "changing stream", as if he did not pack more into 22 years at Aquinas College than an average person plans for a lifetime. His time there is exceeded only by the record innings of the late Brother Redmond. He taught in all levels of the college, was in charge of the junior school for 10 years, and supervised the construction of the new junior school building. Outside the classroom, he is remembered for his 18 years in charge of cadets, seven years in charge of rowing, numerous football and cricket teams and taking part in expeditions to the Abroholos Island, and general bus driver. With his prominent white thatch of hair he was certain to be known as "Kos" (Kosciusko). When his stocks were high with the students he was likely to be known as the "corporal" but when ill winds blew he was quickly dubbed "field -marshal". "My heart is still in the West", he says in reply to suggestions that he should come back to this State again. But family ties in New South Wales have convinced him that he should be there. Early in his religious life he was followed into the Christian Brothers by a younger brother who died of tuberculosis after just 18 months as a novice. Surveying the development that has taken place at Aquinas since he left he is still philosophical about other work the Brothers may be called on to do. "Other Brothers are now visiting prisons, or working with youth in parishes. We are having a look at new facets of our vocation," he says. "We may have to change over something else, we need the laity to run our schools. It's on the cards and it is what the Church is looking to."

Add milk, sugar, salt, egg and 120g of the flour. Beat until smooth, stir in melted butter and set aside. Cut the 250g of butter into the remaining 500g of flour until butter particles are the size of small peas. Pour yeast batter over the top and carefully turn the mixture over with a spatula to blend until all theflour is just moistened. Cover bowl with plastic film and refrigerate for at least four hours — or up tofour days. N.B. Important to keep dough cold while making and shaping the pastry. Place dough on a floured board and knead for half a minute to release any air bubbles. Form dough into a ball and divide into four equal parts. Shape one part at a time, leaving remaining dough wrapped in plastic film in the refrigerator.

To Shape Roll one part of the dough on a lightly floured board into a circle 39cms in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into eight even pie-shaped wedges. Roll each wedge loosely from the broad uncut edge to the point. Bend each roll into a crescent. Space crescents 4cms apart on an ungreased oven tray. Cover with a clean cloth and then a sheet of plastic and put in a slightly warm draught-free place. When rolls have almost double in bulk (30-40 mins.) brush with the egg-water mixture. Bake croissants at 3 25° F / 175°C for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned; serve warm. To reheat, place rolls in a single layer on an oven tray. Bake uncovered, for 10 minutes at 350° F/ 175°C. For variations spread the dough pieces with a little tart jam before rolling into the crescent shapes or try one of the fillings below and shape the dough as desired.

STOLLEN Stollen, a very old fermented yeast cake which originated in Saxony, is now made in countries all over middle Europe. With a religious background going back over the centuries, history suggests the characteristic shape is that of the holy crib. There are two shapes, fairly alike, the baton (from Vienna) and oval (from Dresden), each with a crease down the centre and finished with either vanilla sugar, or a. fondant or water icing glaze. Fillings for the Stollen vary, though there are three distinct classes:— almond, fruit (raisins, sultanas, peel) and marzipan. Of all yeast-raised doughs Stollen is the most heavily fruited and one of the richest in butter and sugar. STEPI 60mIs water (lukewarm) 30g compressed yeast 60g flour Dissolve yeast in water.

Sad is normal

DULUTH, Minn. (NC) - You're supposed to feel happy at Christmas. At least that is what all the Christmas ads, Christmas cards and Christmas TV shows tell us.

Christmas should be carefree, loving, giving and full of fun. But if it is supposed to be so great, why do you always feel so rushed, anxious, tired and, sometimes, even sad when December rolls around?

A few years ago as a seminary student I had a job during the holidays at St John of God Hospital Subiaco. Polishing floorboards and pushing food trolleys was the order of the day.

Wheeling these vehicles of necessity along the hospital verandahs, I often met mothers-to-be, taking their daily constitutional. There is always something special about a woman expecting a child, especially her first child. In such surroundings I began to think about the reality of birth, the arrival of a new life.

I believe we cannot survive without God's help and the Church continually reminds us to be aware of God's saving help so that we reach our eternal goal — Heaven.

one does come, because it is in the poor that we should see Jesus. This traditional meal called "Wigilia" begins as the first star appears in the heavens; reminding us of how the Wise Men searching for Christ were guided by a star. Children search the sky for that first evening star. Before the actual eating starts there is a simple and beautiful breaking of bread ceremony at which reconciliation and promises of a brighter future are made. Since it is still Advent, there is no meat at the meal but an expansive spread of 12 dishes (mainly fish) symbolising the 12 apostles is enjoyed. Once the eating is over and the conversation is ended it is time for midnight Mass. Returning from the Eucharist, in the early hours of the morning, the fun really starts. It is no longer a time of fasting and penance, we are celebrating the birthday of Jesus. The music is turned on, the dancing starts and the vodka flows freely. The extent of the celebration often depends on the size of the family and the nearness of your neighbours. A very short sleep just before dawn is interrupted with morning Mass after which everyone is ready for a good sleep for most of Christmas Day. As Christians, Christmas is very special to us and the means of celebrating cannot be found in a tin, bottle or shop. It is something that begins in the family. A tradition that grows in our hearts. We should consciously develop our own family tradition. For Emma it is prayer, turkey and carols. What is it for you? May Jesus our new-born King bless you abundantly and give you His peace.

The very word "Christmas" implies a feast of "Christ" celebrated by "Christians". It is not just a time for Santa to bring presents. It is not just a time for sales in the commercial world to reach a peak; it is a remembrance of the time w hen God the Father revealed his great love for us through the Incarnation.

As a community, most of us wish each other season's greetings at this time. But how many of us even stop and ask: Why do we do it? As Christians we should know that what we are really wishing, is God's peace that was present in the stable at the scene of that first Christmas.

An unintentional part of the celebration was a very young lady named Emma sitting on my knee and I was not even dressed in a Father Christmas suit. But in my best Santa Claus voice I asked her what traditions did her family observe at Christmas time. She told me they said a prayer, ate turkey and sang Christmas carols after the meal.

AoMt's.ii114f.*:Pf.4- 11A01!`.4,1 Brochure Dear Captain Bob, sent by My name is Rochelle Rochelle Nugent. I joined The Record Kids Club last week. I am 10 years old and I will be 11 on the 30th of December. I live at Mt Newman. Newman is a small mining town in the Pilbara region. Newman mines iron-ore from Mt. Whaleback. Mt Whaleback is the name of the mine. All the iron-ore that is mined goes to Port Hedland. From there it is loaded on to a ship which takes it to Japan mainly and to other places around the world. My Dad, Des Nugent, w orks on the mine. He controls the quality of the iron -ore and what happens to the ore we mine for you to keep. Yours sincerely, Rochelle Nugent, Newman.

Open plan, parents aid The Liwara Catholic School in Tuart Road, Greenwood, has 461 pupils in dual-stream classes of girls and boys from Year 1 to 6 and next year the dual-streaming will extend to Year 7. It was founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1973 but now it has an entirely lay staff under principal Miss Roma Criddle. There are 13 teachers, a part-time librarian and one staff member responsible for physical education and remedial t eaching. It was the first Catholic school to be given grants under the Karmel scheme. It was built in three stages, the last stage having been completed in 1979. It is an open-plan school with a library-

assembly area and a big oval established by the P & F who have raised funds for a wide range of equipment, and it is set in bushland with landscaped gardens. There is a lot of parent involvement, with mothers coming in every day to hear reading and perform such tasks as assisting with art and craft activities. Sports include netball, football, soccer, tennis, T-ball and swimming lessons at the Balga pool to which children are transported in the school bus. Italian, ballet and guitar lessons are part of the curriculum. Emphasis is placed on the personal development of the children with the object of bringing them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and each child is treated as an individual. Each term each class has a Mass in its

own class area for which the children prepare the music and the readings, and in addition there are regular school Masses. One week in each year is set aside as Catholic School Week and this year its theme was Love One Another. The children go out into the community to visit sick people, and grandparents are brought to the school and entertained. ********************************** On their community excursions during it * can get a copy of this photograph if you the week the pupils perform such com- : * munity services as picking up rubbish * want. with the aid of bags provided by the local ix The Record will be making copies of photo-: :graphs available to the school involved at a* authority.
