POPE KEEPS UP HIS PLEA FOR PEACE
Tribute fro bishop
When I heard that Bishop Quinn had been appointed my successor in the See of Bunbury my immediate reaction was to say: Thanks be to God.
VATICAN CITY: Pope John Paul's visit to Argentina next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 10-12, is the result of his sending a special envoy to President Galtierito to assure him that the visit to Britain was "strictly pastoral, and in no way political" and an "incessant prayer for peace."

AN HISTORIC
Record The vast spectacle at Canterbury last week pointed up the paradox that in life most issues -especially church unity — depend largely on the point from which one views them. In the cathedral nave, the hundreds of guests who considered it the prize of a lifetime became a virtually schismatic community and, like the catechumens of old, had to be content with following the major moments of the ceremony through an amplifier or a distant television monitor screen. In almost another world in the cathedral choir the very privileged of many faiths saw an unbelievable moment of history enacted before them but even they were denied the sight of that emotional moment when the Bishop of Rome accompanied by his estranged Canterbury absconder would make that most sacred of English pilgrimages and kneel with him at the martyred Becket's shrine. In the wider world millions of humans of all faiths and none had the best view of all and sat inches away from the ceremony watching every flicker of expression more intimately and closely than could ever be possible in real life. Out in the grandstands of Wembley, Coventry, Manchester, York, Glasgow and Cardiff it was yet another view as over a million UK Catholics looked as though through the reverse end of a telescope at that tiny dot of a white figure whose presence on English soil said more than all the pages in the history books. A mere 130 years ago when the English Catholic hierarchy was being cautiously reestablished after centuries of exclusion and persecution, it was still fair game to lampoon the Romish clergy and laity as some sort of lame joke which the British public had to bemusedly tolerate. The Catholic laity English, Scottish and Irish, felt church disunity where it hurt most, sometimes in physical buffetting but very much in money, jobs and states that are the substance of lifes. It would be well for Catholics who have witnessed last week's extraordinary spectacle both in ecumenism and in celebration of English Catholicism reborn to remember with humility how the ancestors of the faith would have viewed such a moment from a century or two back. In very carefully measured words, reprinted on the page opposite and which should be slowly digested, Pope John Paul II spelt out the formula which must animate the Catholic Church in its relations with the separate Christians and with the world in general. It is not that former Catholic generations have not prayed and hoped for unity. The pulpits and theological pages pleaded incessantly for the children of the diaspora to return to the Mother church of Rome. Perhaps the calls were never heard because, like an irate mother, words are least effective when they are strident and in threatening tones. Pope John Paul has underlined the love that must infuse all Christian life as the indispensable foundation of church unity. It is not Wotyla's special message, it is Jesus Himself who has spelt out the unalte ble path that must be followed. If we have been allowed to suffer the pain of disunity for a time it may been a providential lesson that departing form Christ's formula reduces the work to a human level doomed to failure as history has shown in the Protestant break-up. Archbishop Winning of Glasgow, a guest of W A during WAY 79 and whose efforts were largely responsible for the pope not cancelling his trip, sits in a country that would hardly be equalled for inter-church ferocity. He said that the arrival of the pope was a coming of age for Scottish Catholics. In many ways the whole of the church has passed through the stormy adolescence of strained relations. The task ahead of Catholics coming of age with the visit of their Holy Father is to see that the disunited Christians are but a reflection of the increasing masses of people who know little about God or Jesus Christ and understand even less of the little they know. That is what the Pentecostal visit of Pope John Paul II has been all about. The miracle of television has brought that Pentecost into homes of every language. Catholics must pray for him as he approaches the South American continent where a vast confused Catholic Church now stirs itself into a renewal of charity and unity. .26 John Street, Perth WA 6000 C orrespondence: The Editor, The Record, PO Box 50 Aberdeen Street, Perth, 6000 A dvertising.

Francis of Assisi asked this question 750 years ago. Every serious-minded young man should do the same. The CAPUCHINS, followers of Francis, can help you answer it. For further information, please write to: Fr. Darren, Capuchin Franciscan Friars, 98 Catherine Street, LEICHHARDT, NSW, 2040
Resting on the Chair of Augustine in Canterbury Cathedral is the Canterbury Gospel brought by Augustine from Rome and which was kissed by Pope John Paul and Archbishop Runcie in the once Catholic cathedral built on the site of Augustine's church and built progressively from the 12th to 14th centuries.
CHURCH SERVICE
The words that have just been read are taken from the Gospel according to John which contains the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the eve of His passion. While He was at supper with His disciples He prayed: "That they may all be one even as Thou Father art in me and I in Thee; that they also may be in us so that the world may believe that Thou has sent me."
These words are the priestly prayer of Church, which in the marked in a particular Christ. words of that council's way by the paschal The Church of our times creed, we profess to be the mystery of our Saviour is the Church which partic- voice of the word par by His passion; death ipated in a particular way excellence of the Holy a nd resurrection. in the prayer of Christ for Spirit when we say we Though pronounced unity and which seeks the believe in one holy catholic ways of unity, obedient to and apostolic church. once only, they endure the Spirit who speaks in Today's gospel passages throughout all gener- the words of love. have called attention to ations.

W HEN he was a child at Wembley, little Graham Collopy was fascinated by the sight
of people riding horses in the Herdsman Parade area and made up his mind that one day he, too, would sit in the saddle of a noble steed.

R GRAHAM Bernard Collopy, Perth commercial photographer and formerly a noted amateur horseman, was born at Subiaco on July 14, 1941. He started his schooling at the Brigidine convent at Subiaco and completed it at CBC Terrace before joining WA. Newspapers in 1957. He worked in the mail room and the photographic section and obtained a photography cadetship in 1958. His life-long love of horses and experience he had gained in riding track work and as an amateur jockey in Hunt Club races in WA turned his attention to the north-east and in 1965 he left Perth to ride as an amateur with the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. In the British crown colony he worked as an executive with a security company and gained prominence as a lawn bowler as well as an amateur horse rider. In 1977 he returned to Perth with his family, worked for a security company and then as a photographer with The Western Farmer and Grazier newspaper before setting up his own business as a freelance photographer about 21 2 / years ago. Graham, the son of Wembley couple Bernie and Connie Collopy, and his wife Linda (nee Ritchie) are members of the Whitfords parish.

Conn! writings In ABC radio feature •11
The writings of the Fenian convicts in 1868 on their v oyage to penal servitude in the Swan River Colony are the subject of a feature on ABC radio at 8am on Sunday, June 13.
The Irish have always resented, and resisted, the occupation of their country by the British. It has become part of their tradition. Before his arrest and execution in the 17th century St Oliver Plunkett wrote: "Certainly we shall not be hirelings. With the rope around our necks they will drag us to the ship". That is practically what they did to the 62 Irishmen who were transported to Western Australia in 1868. They were Fenians; members of a republican brotherhood sworn to fight for a free Ireland. They had staged an unsuccessful revolt against English rule and were s entenced to penal

servitude for life. They arrived on board the Hougoumont, the last convict ship to be sent to the Swan River Colony. One of them was Denis Cashman, a young school teacher, who belonged to the civilian wing of the brotherhood. He stepped out of his house one evening and was arrested. He was not to see his wife and children for several years, but he left his feelings for them, and for his country, in his diary. On hearing that he was to be transported, he wrote: "I felt wretched. The thought of being sent 14,000 miles away from my dear wife and children, from all that I loved on earth, with the

WAYSIDE SHRINE BLESSED
A wayside shrine of the Mother Thrice Admirable was blessed by Bishop Quinn in the grounds of House Schoenstatt in Riverton (pictured below). It is based on the design of the Mother Shrine in Schoenstatt, Germany.
In his prayer and address before the blessing, Bishop Quinn linked the shrine with the national Mother shrine, the national shrine at Mulgoa in New South Wales and the home shrines of the family groups in surrounding areas.

uncles in the congregation it was natural that he should follow in their Redemptorist steps. The changes he sees in the Redemptorists are in the area of preaching. "We have neglected the skills of homiletic preaching since Vatican II. The emphasis has changed from the day when acoustics needed a big voice and a large delivery just so that people could hear you. "The use of the public address system introduces a new style of speaking. Now we can talk with intimacy. This along with the c hanges in theology, means that we now need to speak to an individual's personal awareness. "We could learn a lot from the radio and television communicators who are using the best resources in the country to get their message across. "The microphone has changed the style of the Redemptorists yet there is still room for more formal delivery as is represented in the preaching of Billy Graham. On the other hand the grand pompous style of the past had to go. For the youth preacher Father Tom Ryan, the audience is likely to be sitting around on the hall ofa floor. In a two-hour segment of prayer and discussion he may speak for .only 1 5 minutes but he believes that youth will act sit .and listen for an hour if a preacher is "spot-on", otherwise they will be restless after only several minutes. The themes which Father Ryan preaches are not. as important as the listening he has done in the group, attitudes picking up their of mood the and judging the moment, but all the time aware that "they are worthy, they are sacred,: they are temples of God.
