Church bans symbols at Unity ideal funeral service all Ireland should set of Bobby Sands sights on... SYDNEY — At a Mass for Bobby Sands Bishop David Cremin hailed the time when no longer will terms like "Nationalist" and "Loyalist" be used in Ireland, "the time when all will be only Irish 'united and forfiving — members of one family'.

BELFAST (NC) — A funeral Mass was held for Bobby Sands in his Catholic parish church after it was agreed that no symbols of the Irish Republican Army would be allowed during the sevice.

Bishop Cremin expressed his hope during his homily to about 1500 people at the Requiem Mass for Bobby Sands in St Mary's Cathedral on Friday. The bishop said the mass was being celebrated also as a prayer for "peace, harmony, unity and a lasting solution to unhappy Ireland."

• LONDON (NC) — The morality of a hunger strike to death was discussed by the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales at their scheduled Low Week meeting that took place a week before Sands' death, but they did not issue any statement on the topic. At a press conference afterwards, however, Cardinal George Basil Hume of Westminister said that among the bishops there was no doubt that any hunger strike to death which included the intention to die was suicide. He also stressed the bishops' grave concern over the situation in Northern Ireland and their feelings of sympathy with all the families who had suffered because of the violence. The purpose of the discussion was "in order to clarify our own minds" said Cardinal Hume. "The question we were asking ourselves," said Cardinal Hume, "was does every hunger strike to the death consitute suicide?" The bishops considered three kinds of situation: one, an exercise in brinkmanship where death would be accidental; two, an intention on the part of the hunger striker to die if necessary, where death would be deliberate; and three, where a person would refuse all cooperation including taking food, so that death would not necessarily be intended but would happen accidentally.

Whitfords Church opens.. A building looking to the future The circular interior of Whitford's new church (pictured) of our Lady of the Mission features 13 archways on its perimeter that are temporarily screened until the later development of a second stage. Behind the colonnade visible at the right of the picture space will be developed later for a self-contained Blessed Sacrament and daily Mass chapel, confessional room, sacristy, baptistery and sweeping entry foyer, adding nearly one third again to the existing floor area. The 27 metre diameter of the central area provides an unrestricted area of 572 square metres for both sanctuary and congregational use. Seating has been installed for 460 people and a further five rows of seating will be added later to raise the seating capacity to 650, the aim is for a large church to serve a big district with eventually at least five weekend Masses. The metal roof in weathered copper tone rises to a lantern summit 8.5 metres above the flat floor level.

New parish is paying the price of rapid growth The new parish of Whitfords has had to pay the price of being part of one of localities.

Rebord Any soldier pinned down in a hail of bullets on a landing beach or an open battlefield has only one question on his mind: has the next bullet got his name on it.? Pope John Paul had his name on a series of bullets because his assassin put them there. Two complete strangers who felt they should be in the pope's presence — one of them not a Catholic — found that their names were there too. In the subsequent relief that the episode has passed and that the pope's obvious stamina for his job is likely to be a key factor in his recovery it is difficult to imagine our horror had the shots been fatal or left him in a hopelessly crippled condition. It is not the first time that it has been hazardous to be a pope. The iron bars on windows, the guards' weapons and the ramparts near the Vatican are reminders that pope. have been threatened in the past. Pope John Paul has been sufficiently a realist to anticipate that his maximum exposure during numerous overseas tours and in Rome is the price to his privacy and comfort he may have to pay if the papacy is to be relevant to its times. A century ago a pope could not have made the headlines even if he wanted. This was principally because the headlines of television and radio networks did not exist. The extent of the pope's contact with the world was an occasional encyclical. Only the privileged few got near his presence in Rome. When Pope John XXIII appeared in 1958 television was changing the face of the world and only two decades later the pope is a worldwide figure of unimagined proportion. The stream of comment and condolence to Rome and local diocesan offices from the widest spectrum of leaders and organisations can only mean that the figure of the pope holds an important place in their search for peace and world stability. Traditionally Catholics by and large have had to learn about the pope and his significance long before he is seen and heard in reality. The world at large sees and hears him long before they understand him, and even then without supporting the Catholic doctrines that he represents and expounds. The source of the pope's charism is not that he is endowed with above -human wisdom, scholarship or personal charm. He is first of all Bishop of Rome, the bishop who is the precious link between the bishops of the world and their flocks. . The rare instances when he would exercise the infallibility that Jesus wishes him to possess are nothing compared to the day to day strength of the church that must maintain its unity in Christ. Pope John Paul is the sign of that unity, not just on the cobblestones of St. Peter's Square but in the furthermost parish or mission of the church. Without that loyal faithful the papacy does not exist. The crowds that surround him in Rome or anywhere are more than symbolic. There were other names of on the bullets last week — the names of missionaries and local Catholics who have been murdered and maimedin recent years in Uganda, Rhodesia, Salvador or the Churches of Silence in Europe and Asia. The true grief of each individual Catholic over last week's tragedy is expressed only if they would write their name on the bullet too.

Strong call for a new calendar for the church

• Father Trevor Callaghan is priest of the parish of Moora whose territory extends out to the western sea coast as far as Jurien Bay 120 Km away. He recently attended a meeting of country priests in York and heard there that one priest a nticipated his Holy Week and Easter liturgies by a week because he would have virtually no people left during the holidays. Father Callaghan and other priests were shocked at first but felt a sympathetic response f or the priest because of what the priests are experiencing during Holy Week in country towns. Father Callaghan asks the question whether it is time for Christians to pick up ,their calendar and c elebrate their feasts at other times a way from the secular holidays.

Spiritual strength from self denial From Peter Foale, South Hedland

"What do Christians, and Catholics in particular do on GoodFriday? Do they sit for hours on a jetty fishing or sit around a table at a beach house drinking beer?

"They used even to stop wars on Good Friday but on this of all days, land many priests faced pitifully small congregations. "To me Easter is a special Christian festival. It is not Buddhist, not Muslim, not Hindu. "We as Christians have compromised the whole Easter celebration and we have let the whole show down. "From Moora, as from all the country parishes, there was a wholesale exodus from the area. What was to have been a celebration of the events of Holy .Week — a gathering of the whole Christian c ommunity — just simply fell apart. "At the holiday resorts the people do not go in big numbers to the Thursday, Friday and Saturday ceremoniesbecause of the opinion t hat they a re on holidays. "By the same token I wonder why I have to go on a journey, of say 120km, to provide services at a distant resort when the centre of my ministry is in Moora. "I can understand why they want to get away for the five days, the last long break before the onset of winter. I also understand that many people in the country have relatives and friends in the city and

want to join their families. "But I still believe that people go away with the intention of having a non-religious holiday. "At Easter I told my c ongregation that recreation means ReCreation, that a person is entitled 'to be recreated in body, mind but also in spirit "This is the meaning of the holidays, to rest from work, and worship God. This is the reason for the Easter holidays to enable people, particularly Christians to attend their religious ceremonies.

its own pagan celebration. "For historical reasons some of the Eastern Churches have different times for the celebration of feasts. W hy cannot the Catholic church have a special celebration of these events in its own calendar. "When I and others first heard what a country priest had done recently there were a few intakes of breath at first but surprise diminished when we realised we had all had similiar experiences.

"The problem that faces us in the country is probably true also of the metropolitan parishes which seem to have larger attendances on the three Holy Week days because there is an interchange of visitors there. "I wonder if we should start our own calendar. From what I hear, many of our festivals were originally pagan celebrations that were Christianised. "Now they are reverting back to paganism. "I think the Church should have its own Christian celebration and let the world have

• Father Callaghan "Maybe it is too radical to change the calendar but we must start some thinking at the roots about having a proper celebration to suit our Christian needs.

Neither Caiphas nor Pontius Pilat us nor the people at large have ever seen the Risen Christ, but only the Apostles: "We have seen him, we who have eaten and drunk with Him". (Act. 10,41).

Abortion remains a crime in the Dutch penal code, but the new law lifts all penalties for therapeutic abortion in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. For more than a decade the government has ignored a flourishing illegal abortion trade. Under the new law a woman who Germans, 7,500 Belgians and 2,000 decides to have an abortion must wait other foreigners obtained abortions in five days to reflect on the operation the Netherlands.

John Wayne reached the pinnacle of his c areer when he played a one-eyed, whisky -drinking and c ompletely irreverant marshal in True G rit. . . .the movie which saw him win an Academy Award. On Channel Seven on Wednesday night ( May 27) at 9.35, True Grit is the movie of the week. C o -Starring with W ayne are Glen Campbell, Kim Darby, R obert Duvall and Jeremy Slate. The story revolves around a 14-year -old girl who sets out after h er cattle -handler father's killer. K nowing she alone can't bring the killer to justice, she seeks the help of Rooster Cogburn, a man renowned for "bringing 'em back dead or alive" in some of the roughest country in the west. It's a land without enough lawmen to go around and the days are set in times of the circuit judges. After pledging Rooster's fee, he sets off after the killer and is shadowed by Mattie (Darby) and a gunfighter turned Texas R anger in the guise of Campbell.

Paul Hogan has P new TV concept

Eventually both men agree to take Mattie a long after she has shown dogged resistance to their efforts to lose her along the trail. Shot is some of the m ost picturesque c ountry in Montana, True Grti is a venturesome character departure for Wayne w ho has always 'played the western hero with the right name/identity, but in True Grit his Rooster Cogburn surmounted the critics' obstacles. Father Jack Menotti must try to help in a complex family crisis in Menotti: Far From Home, on Channel Fwo on Wednesday, May 27, at 8.30pm. Jack is approached for help by Darren Lewis, a man facing a death sentence from cancer. As a lapsed Catholic, he fears dying: as a Vietnam veteran he resents violently the irony of being spared then, only to be struck down now. Jack finds it is not only Darren who needs help, but also his family.

Hoges's plans to establish his own television station are outlined in Channel Nine's Paul Hogan Show on Tuesday at 8.35pm and he warns rival stations will have to watch out. According to the master of win and satire, H.O.G. (the name for his planned station) has come up with some great new programmes, a better form of advertising and the world's newest news service. Television shows feature some favourite characters in- a send-up of present shows with advertisements designed around "real people In real-life situations." The lovely Delvene Delaney returns for this show. In his show Hoges once again demonstrates his extra bit of talent that makes the difference between a tolerant chuckle and decent guffaw.

ent from ,many of those he has played before, the synopsis runs close to some of the movies he has already starred in. He is the man who can only be pushed by others so far and then he lashes out at injustice and oppression.

UNEMPLOYED TO THEIFOWN AID

Young people on the dole talk about what it is like to be unemployed in It Could Happen To You, a programme in the series The Way We Are — Listening To The Young, on Channel Two on Thursday (May 28) at lOpm. For many unemployed youngsters, the dole queue leads to anger and disillusionment with the world in general. But in Newcastle, young unemployed people have banded together in a work co-operative to create work for themselves, and restore their dignity and selfrespect. The project is one alternative to the dole queue. Already there are 17 such work co-operatives in NSW. Unemployment gets further considergether in a work co-operative to create work for themselves, and restore their dignity and self-respect.

The project is one alternative to the dole queue. Already there are 17n such work co-operatives in NSW. . Unemployment gets further consideration in Priorities on the ABC radio 3 network at 1 1.45am on Sunday, May 24.

What can be done to help the unemployed? An experiement in alternative living is being led by a Uniting Church minister in Burra, South Australia. In Priorities, the Rev. Brian Polkinghorne talks with Peter Knudsen about the Old Courthouse Co-operative which seeks to provide self-help schemes which will give purpose to the lives of young unemployed.

This is the third of the Pink Panther movies, preceded by The Pink Panther and A Shot In The Dark, and once again it looks at the bungling detective's talents. Who else would go to a disco and get slugged by the go-go dancer or get stuck in revolving doors with skis or a tell a cabby to "follow that car" and have him do it without you, or plunge fullyclothed into a pool while simply admiring a lovely lady? The only answer is the famous French "flic" who takes being accident-prone out of the amateur ranks into the highest professional category. And only one actor could play the limbrisking part and that is Peter Sellers who describes this favourite character of his as "a man of gread dignity who is unfortunatley accidentprone. He knows he is, but he doesn't want The late Peter Sellers is Inspector Clouseau here in a scene from Channel Nine's Sunday movie The Return of the Pink Panther at 8.35 pm. anyone else to know."

A helping hand

A bigneed for trust At a recent Catholic Parish Youth eastern region camp I met a young man named Christopher who was paralysed from the waist down yet moved about on crutches with amazing agility. His disability did not prevent him from taking part in usual camp activities.

His presence made me aware that we have not really made great efforts to seek out and find the numerous young people in the suburbs in similiar circumstances. At times, we do not trust ourselves sufficiently to go out and meet those with disabilities. We do not trust the disabled enough to join our activities. On the first afternoon of the camp the leaders asked everyone to pair off and to perform the following exercise. One person was to close their eyes while the other acted as a guide. The guide was asked to help the "blind person" experience the world around them through their sense of touch, smell, taste and hearing. As Ron, who was not disabled. _ took off with Christopher on his crutches I watched with apprehension and heard Chris call out

"don't let go of me." He went through the paces without missing a trick and then took his turn at leading Ron up hill and dale, over rocks and through bushes. It is called a trust walk. I sometimes think we should take each other on a trust walk when youth don't trust their parents or when parents don't trust their children. Trust is a word bandied about frequently today. It is a basic ingredient for our lives as human beings. We learn to trust from the moment we gasp our first breath of air and nestle in close to our mother's breast. Without it, life is miserable. We trust the pilot who flies the plane, the assemblers of our motor cars; we trust the driver of the car on the other side of the road travelling at 60 miles per

hour will stay in his lane; we trust a friend to keep a confidence; we trust out professional people, priests, doctors, nurses, teachers, dentists etc. The examples are too numerous to list. Jesus invited us to trust in Him and not to become over worried and anxious about many things but rather set our hearts on following Him. If you are a fisherman at South Fremantle, would you leave your boat and follow Him?; if you are .a clerk at a desk in one of our city skyscrapers. would you leave your desk and follow Him?; if you are a worker in a factory, would you leave your secure paying position and step out in trust as a priest, a religious, a fulltimer, or committed lay person in a ministry in the.church?

Couples failing to attend Centrecare Marriage Preparation courses are inconveniencing other couples who have sought a booking but have not been able to be accommodated, or whose attendance has had to be delayed. Last Sunday 21 couples who had booked attended the first half of the course at the Leederville parish centre but a further 10 couples failed to show up. Only two other couples had notified their cancellation and three turned up without any prior booking. In the first tour months of this year 94 couples have attended both Sunday sessions but 21 couples who had booked failed to appear a nd a further 21 attended on only one of the two days. ..Attendance at the -courses is limited to the number that the East Fremantle and Leederville parish centres can comfortably hold.

Channel Nine covered II of the 18 holes in its telecast of the last day's play of the Halls Head Western Open, keeping pace with the action on the last nine holes. With the use of a cherry-picker and a team of cameramen on foot, Channel Nine was able to bring golfing fans at home some of the best golfing coverage ever seen on television in Western Australia. The Halls Head Western open, which will hopefull become an annual event on the golfing calendar, precedes the Channel Nine/ CIG Nedlands Masters tournament by one week, encouraging interstate players to make the trip to the west to participate in both events. Channel Nine's sports director Bruce Walker said: "It's good to see the two clubs working in association. It can only produce better golf for W.A."

Terry Gale shows his winning style in the recent Halls Head Western Open.
