Pope gives warm
weucome
Pope John Paul expressed keen interest in the development of lay ministry such as that of the acolyte, Archbishop Goody said this week on his return from overseas when he had a 20 -minute private audience with the pope.

A rchbishop Goody explained the success of the 500 acolytes in Perth archdiocese and in other parts of Australia and the Holy Father was keen to know what other work they did in h ospitals and the visitation of the sick at home. "Pope John Paul was most interested in what was happening and said how much lay people had to contribute to the Church," Archbishop Goody said. "Before Ileft him the pope also stressed how much the Church depends on the zeal of priests and the different ministries of religious brothers and sisters. Archbishop Goody said the pope's well-being and health were obvious although he was thinner and his neck a little more drawn than when they met three years ago just after the pope had assumed office.
Injured finger healed "I looked at his hands to see the finger that was severely injured in the shooting but there is no sign of damage whatever and it seems very good plastic surgery has been performed," he said. Although the private audience schedule was running ten minutes late and he expected only ten instead of 20 minutes, Archbishop Goody said the pope was in no hurry, there was no sense of rush or nervousness. Archbishop Goody had also had a brief earlier meeting with the pope during the last of the open-air audiences in St Peter's Square before they go indoors for the winter months. "He invited the handful of bishops present to give their blessing along with him," he said. "He then boosted my ego, as before Icould introduce myself he grasped me warmly and said, `Ah, the archbishop of Perth'."

"Whether this was a good public relations exercise or just spontaneous, it is typical of his warm greeting," Archbishop Goody said. (Archbishop Goody was host to the then Cardinal Wotyla when he stayed at Victoria Square for two days following the Melbourne Eucharistic Congress in 1973).

A rchitect of ecumenical Churchpolicy the College of Cardinals 20 years ago. There was no one with whom to c ompare him for a sudden blossoming of progressive achievement except John XXIII himself.
Small, bent and seemingly frail, he emerged from a long life as a Jesuit scripture scholar to become the main architect of the Catholic Church's ecumenical policy. Augustin Bea was born in the village of Riedbohringen on the edge of the Black Forrest in Germany on May 28. 1881, the son of a carpenter. He studied theology, phi!osophy and philology at universities in Germany and Holland. In 1902 he entered the Society of Jesus and began his long career as an Old Testament scholar. His special interests were Oriental languages, archeology and the doctrine of inspiration in the light of modern historical criticism. From 1924 to 1959 Bea worked at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. He was increasingly recognised as an eminent scholar. In 1959 Pope John XXIII elevated him to the rank of Cardinal and in 1960 made Bea the president of the newly created Secretariate for promoting Christian Unity in preparation for the forthcoming Second Vatican Council. Bea once remarked that all his life had been a preparation for his work as head of the Vatican's Secretariat for Christian Unity. Most of his earlier life was spend in Biblical scholarship and as rector of the Biblical Institute in Rome and he gradually established many contacts with nonCatholic scholars working in the same field. Moreover the proper scriptural basis for ecumenism was assured. Father Bea had been a personal confessor to Pope Pius XII and later as a cardinal this would have given him insight into the working of ecclesiastical government. This also must have helped him cope with the critics who were unable to understand his diverse works in Catholic ecumenism. He was a convinced Roman Catholic yet he firmly believed that from a biblical viewpoint a human person could attain salvation also through other religious faiths. He believed that baptism made people members of the Mystical Body of Christ and provided a bond among Christians. He explained that when we speak so freely these days about "separated brethren" it was not just a polite term but the expression of a profound truth. — Bill Huxley.

Record The public suffered some information confusion last week as, for example, in Perth where a group of concert-goers were told by a court that instead of listening to Platters they were now hearing just platters. From the eastern seaboard, radio and press were causing equal confusion by turning the phenomenon of archbishop lefebvre into Archbishop Lefebvre. R eporters who would not know a maniple from an epiclesis probed this phenomenon as though some cataclysm was undoing the Catholic Church. Thousands of children were being confirmed in surrounding Sydney parishes but The West Australian got a little carried away with a picture of a petulant old man doing his episcopal thing in a Sydney suburban town hall. The Sydney reporter appeared overwhelmed that women wore veils and men their Sunday best suits; even more overpowering apparently, was the use of incense and latin chants even though the same can be seen and heard in St. Mary's or St. George's cathedrals in Perth very often. It is time that the balloon of Lefebvre about Latin, Tridentine forms (not rites, as the uninformed keep repeating) or whatever, was finally exploded by the real question of his status. As one time superior general of the renowned African missionary order, the White Fathers, it is not remarkable that he proceeded upwards in the church to become an apostolic delegate in West Africa. Like all papal diplomatic representatives, he was accorded the privilege of being ordained a bishop and given the honorary rank of archbishop. He has long since been out of that office; he never served as a bishop of a diocese where his true image would have been quickly revealed; he shrugs off the fact that a pope has suspended him from the exercise of his priestly or episcopal functions. Clearly, the Church always takes a risk in ordaining its priests and bishops. They are given this sacrament not on their own merits but in the unity of the Body of Christ that is conferred by the Holy Spirit. Very occasionally in history some run a mok. In China today a large body of estranged bishops worries the Pope deeply. In Spain a decade ago an eccentric bishop scattered Holy Orders among an equally eccentric group of followers but thankfully made his peace with the Church. As Archbishop Goody illustrates in this issue the true test of a bishop-shepherd of the flock is that he keeps in touch with the Chief Shepherd without whom his ministry is a fiction, that he continually recharges his batteries with the unity of the Church for which Christ prayed so earnestly before He died. Is the alternative an airborne Swiss Guard storming from off shore carriers to bring the recalcitrant into line? It might not be much of a Church but it would make a good news story.

In a declaration issued after their fall meeting in Marija Bistrica, Yugoslavia, the bishops also defended their right to speak out when Catholics are hindered in professing their faith and condemned the mass media for presenting a one-sided view of the Church. The bishops reaffirmed a declaration made after their spring meeting this year, which had been criticised by Yugoslavian politicians as an interference by the Church in state matters. "We insist that we are not meddling in politics when in carrying out our mission as bishops and in the name of the Gospel we defend man and especially his right to not be hindered in the profession of his faith," the declaration said. The bishops noted "with bitterness- that lessons and textbooks in all government schools present atheism as "the only scientific conception of the world".

Babies much too young to drink
How young is too young to drink? People may argue about what age young people should be allowed to drink alcohol . . . and how much . . . and where.
But nobody seriously agrues that a baby still at the pram stage should be given a pre-dinner drink. So it stands to reason that before the baby is born is too young, too. Scientists are trying to find answers to questions such as, "How much is it safe to drink?" and "At what point in the pregnancy is the risk greatest?". When you have a drink, alcohol is absorbed very rapidly throughout your body by a process known as diffusion — it doesn't have to wait around to be digested but passes straight through the walls of the stomach and intestines. If you are pregnant, it easily crosses the placenta and reaches the developing baby — the alcohol concentration in the placenta is then the same as in your own blood stream. The baby - even when it is a fetus only centimetres long — is getting a full adult "dose" of alcohol. However, the alcohol you drink is eliminated at roughly the rate of one standard drink an hour. It takes twice as long to be eliminated from the baby. About half way through the pregnancy, the baby's liver develops to the point that it can break down alcohol itself. Before that it is likely to be at greater risk from its mother's drinking habits. So it seems likely that the risk is high early in the pregnancy — maybe before the mother has even had the pregnancy confirmed. Mothers who drink heavily or are alcoholics may have babies born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome — that is, their growth and development are affected in particular ways both before and after birth. When they are born, these babies tend to be both lighter and shorter than they should be. Also, babies born to mothers who drink heavily have an increased risk of congenital heart defects, of being mentally retarded or of suffering from nervous disorders as a result of permanent damage to the central nervous system. The question now is: at what point is a mother's drinking heavy enough to risk this sort ot damage -- or any sort of damage at all? Since 1968, a number of scientists have carried out studies on the effects of alcohol on unborn babies. But there is a lot more work to be done before these effects are full understood. However, some facts are beginning to emerge. • Not all women who are heavy drinkers during pregnancy give birth to babies with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. • Pregnant women who drink only moderately may have babies which are affected in some way, although they may not suffer as severely as those with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. • The risk appears to be very slight for women who have less than two standard drinks of alcohol a day. From that point, the risk seems to increase progressively with the mother's average daily intake. As a result of these studies, the National Health and Medical Research Council in Australia now recommends that any women who is pregnant — or who thinks she may be pregnant — should not have more than two drinks a day. That is, no more than two standard drinks — two glasses of beer or their equivalent — the same size as those served in a hotel or tavern. The Health Education Unit's most recent publication, The Moderate Drinker's Guide, discusses some of the questions people aske themselves when they drink. It is available free from the Unit's office at 514 Hay Street Perth (325 7911) and from regional offices.
Really the generation gap is a myth ... The initial reaction of most adults when asked to become involved in a youth programme is to say "I am too old. I fear that young people would not relate to me." R on and Ellen Wallis of Thornlie who have recently taken over from M ichael and Trisha Hegney of Lesmurdie as co-ordinators of the Choice weekend programme expressed such a fear.
I believe they are not alone. It is a reaction that I have often experienced in others, and at times have felt it myself. I believe that is it this fear that is often labelled "the generation gap". I do not believe there is a real generation gap. Those who are loudest in defining the generation gap have never sat down face to face with young people and lis-

young way-out or even distasteful and their ideas far too radical. But once adults sit down and take the time to listen, I believe they will not discover a generation gap, but they will find a period of confusion, doubt and
uncertainty in the lives of young persons. We quickly forget that we were once young too. Young people are full of questions to be answered and often have t heir own answer, which surprises us. They need someone to listen and enable them to sort out their own answers without losing

a real sense of belonging to their family, their faith community and the world. The Choice weekend which I attended last week was the final one for 1981. It is presented by a priest, a religious brother or sister, a married cou-
ple and several young c ommitted single people. It is an opportunity for the young people to find their own answers to the many confusing issues that beset their lives. One of the unique aspects of the weekend
is that a married couple take part and give witness to the value and beauty of married life. Young singles have the opportunity of asking questions that they may not even put to their own parents. For the next Choice weekend ring 459 3941.
Time proves worth of YCW activity Two weeks ago I attended the YCW celebrations in Bunbury. To mark 40 years of YCW in Australia, an international dinner and dance had been organised for the Saturday night and a thanksgiving Mass for Sunday ( appropriately held on All Saints Day).

Talent show on for kids
PLEASE MAKE ME A MEMBER OF THE CLUB
Channel Nine's Young People's (YPPD) is planning a special talent show for children. The show, which is still in its formative stages, will go to air during the Christmas school holidays. According to the Coordinator of the YPPD, Keith Woodland, the show will revolve around pure entertainment and enthusiasm. We hope to make the show a place where the children can come and perform for their mums and dads, their brothers and their sisters, as well as the general public, it will be a place where they can come and have a good time — to perform for the pure enjoyment and entertainment value. "The competition side of it is a secondary aspect," Keith said. Children's show presenters Jenny Dunstan and Chris Woodland will compere the show while doubling as the "support act!" The pair are currently taking singing lessons —at the advice of their workmates! "Chris and Jenny are definitely not professional singers!" Keith said. "But I think this makes for total involvement. Jenny and Chris will be working hard for the next

A family fun game
Ketball has arrived. Ketball is a bat-and-ball fun game for families and friends that has been devised by the Health Education unit of the Public Health Department. It can be played anywhere by any number of people of any age, with any sort of bat and ball and two wickets — or two boxes, if there are no wickets available. The rules were adapted from other sports by Busselton Health Education Officer Mr. John Colquhoun. Details of the game have been published and limited numbers are available at Unit offices in Perth and Busselton. "Ketball is a cross between cricket and softball —with modifications", said Mr. Colquhoun. "It is everything that serious, team games like cricket and football are not. Everybody plays — the rules can be adjusted to suit the ages and skills of the players." The idea was to provide a game that would encourage people to play for sheer enjoyment and exhilaration —at home, at the beach, on picnics, or anywhere where there was about 15 metres of open space.

S acred Heart Primary School at Mundaring is getting bigger all the time.
Last year they finished with 99 students, they started first term with 105, now have 118 and are e xpecting even more in 1982. The school services a huge area with students coming from as far afield as Parkerville, Stoneville, M ount Helena, Chidlow, Sawyer's V alley, Wooroloo and Mahogany Creek. Principal is Sister Bernadine who is ably assisted by Sister Karen and two full-time lay teachers. A part-time teacher
works one afternoon a week and the school has a part-time music and singing teacher. This term a dancing teacher has also been holding lessons. Sacred Heart caters for children in Grades 1-7. Built in 1952, the school was opened in 1953 with 65 students. It was originally staffed by the Sisters of St Joseph of the Appa-

Work is expected to start at the end of the month and should be finished in time for the new school year. Sister Bernadine said staff aimed to give students a Christian education which would enable them to grow spiritually, emotionally, physically and psychologi-
cally in order to cope with and influence their environment. She said students actively participated in many forms of sport and competition was held between Sacred Heart and eight local primary schools. "This year we organised a 'family day' for our sports day and it was very successful," she said. "In the second term the children organised a concert and this term we are planning a fancy dress ball."

PRESENTATION SISTERS
Sister Paula Quinn
A SPIRIT THAT GROWS IN LOVE
The Presentation Sisters exist because the Holy Spirit inspired Nano Nagle to found an order to meet a need in Ireland in the 18th c entury.
Sister Paula Quinn, a music teacher at lona College, studied with the Presentation Sisters in Kilkenny, Ireland, where she began her musical studies which later she continued with Dr Arnold McKiernan. Following her entry into the Presentation Congregation at lona, Mosman Park, she studied under Madame Alice Carrard for her Licentiate of Music A and Licentiate of Trinity College, London. A t the University of WA in 1972 she completed her Bachelor of Music with Honours. She is a past president of the Religious Music Teacher's Association, a member of the committee of the WA Music Teachers' Association and was active in the establishment of Music Makers Unlimited.
Since then the order has continued to flourish, spreading over almost all continents and there's no lessening of t he need for education a nd the other aspects of Presentation spirituality. If we were starting out today our spirit might be different because what we have now is something which has grown over 200 years. Spirit is an ongoing evolving thing which is conditioned by people and places and so our Presentation spirit is very much a heritage which we w ork to maintain and develop. We talk often about the needs of Ireland in the 18th century compared with the needs of today because it is a very personal question for us. The Second Vatican Council asked us to go back to the charism of our foundress but then we have to 'continue from' where the charism has authentically evolved to in 1981 and
really try to discern just what this involves. It's a very different world physically from that of Nano Nagle 200 years ago but mankind's needs are pretty much the same. There is always poverty, whether material, spiritual or cultural. There is still a great need for Christian education, and even more so than ever, the need for dedicated people who completely hand over their lives to God to serve Him in a religious order. For us, it's the Presentation Order rather than any other. If we go into a Presentation convent in any part of the world there's a spirit, a bond that we share — hard to express, but something that really is there. We are named after the Pres-

It is Mary presenting her life to God as a gift and living her whole life through this promise. Actually we started off being called "The Charitable Institute of the the Sacred Heart of Jesus", but when we were recognised as an order this was changed at the request of the sisters. A Presentation sister is a contemplative in action, a person who completely hands over her life to Christ. We only have one life and it really has to be a faith-filled process to give it away, cornpletely, totally and unreservedly. And so Christ
gradually becomes the centre of our life, of everything we are, and do, and become. Mary essentially was just that, wasn't she? So that is what we want to become too! It is really this dimension that keeps us going as religious, that we grow more and more in love with Christ and His love for us and ours for Him overflows into all our work and leisure. Sometims, unconsciously we assume a guise of worldliness just to be socially acceptable, but I sometimes feel people don't want that from us. They wouldn't mind if we did as it were "wear our heart on our sleeve" a bit, especially if our hearts are full of Christ.
To enter isn't Christ's work the only hurdle
in all fields
At the time one thinks that the initial step ofF entering a religious congregation is the crucial ' one.
