Pope's fight for peace V ATICAN CITY: The terrible consequences of modern warfare makes it almost impossible to speak of a just war," said Pope John Paul as his plane winged its way from Cardiff back to R ome. Speaking to an impromptu press conference on the aircraft the pope said, the right to self-defence, cannot be denied but it was necessary to look for other solutions. Today it was necessary to exclude any war.-

It is with these thoughts in mind that Pope John Paul leaves tonight (Thursday) for his 36 hour visit to Argentina where he will celebrate two outdoor Masses, one at the shrine to Mary at Lujan about 64 kilometres outside Buenos Aires. Plans at the moment include the pope being greeted at the airport by President Galtieri who along with his entourage intend to attend Saturday's Mass. This is in contrast with the decision in England that the pope would not meet with Prime Minister Margret Thatcher or other political figures in order to emphasise the purely pastoral nature of the visit. The Pope's Argentine trip has been hastily scheduled because of the Falklands fighting, and the purpose, according to the Pope, is to raise a "prayer for the victory of a just peace over war." The moral inacceptability of conventional warfare has been a steadily escalating papal theme since the fighting started. "War, which has always been a calamity, today brings with it an even more vast and terrible threat, because of the destructive power that modern technology has conferred even on so-called conventional weapons," said the Pope in a recent reference to the South Atlantic fighting. In England, he told 350,000 people at Coventry: "Today the scale and horror of modern warfare — whether nuclear or not — makes it totally unacceptable as a means of settling differences between nations." Pointing to the scarred ruins of Coventry's Anglican Cathedral the Pope continued: "War should belong to t he tragic past, to history, it should find no place on humanity's agenda for the future." The theme of war and peace threaded its way through many of the talks given by the pope during

the visit. On at least a halfdozen occasions, the pope amended prepared texts to make reference to the twomonth old hostilities. Those who wondered

whether the Pope would skirt that delicate issue during his time in Britain had their question answered early:

New national programme to play big part in local schools Perth will have its first experience later this month of the new National Mission and Justice Education programme that is expected to play a major part in future Catholic education.

The programme is the result of a pooling of ideas by the Mission Aid agencies, Australian Cathol ic Relief and the Justice and Development Committee so that an integrated approach can be made to educating people about the relationship between preaching the gospel and applying it to whole church is a mission National Mission and Jus- work out their salvation in challenge of this new age of the conditions of this age. and that there is a great tice Education programme that world. mission.

C atholic secondary teachers will be having a three-day introduction to the course on June 22-24 and on the weekend June 25-27 lay leaders from Catholic parishes and organisations will also learn about the course.

Miss Woolfe says that this course is only the beginning of a project that will be studied over two years to see how it works in practice in schools and parish discussions.

peace appeai

WARSAW, Poland (NC) — Archbishop Jozef Glemp of Warsaw has called on Polish youth to reject "radical methods" for achieving change and to depend instead on moderation and wisdom. In a pastoral letter read in all Warsaw churches the Polish primate said he understood the -bitterness" of some Polish youths because of his own past personal experience. "I sympathise with the young people because I myself — beaten when I was a young worker — understand the bitterness of powerlessness and humiliation," said Archbishop Glemp. adding that his own father was severely punished during World War 11 for participating in a protest against the Nazi-imposed requirement to pray in German. "The bishops, always convinced of the possibility of social accord and thus of the necessity for dialogue, consequently ask for the renunciation of those radical methods which have led in certain cases to young people being beaten," the pastoral letter said. "By showing wisdom you will not destroy the national spirit," Archbishop Glemp said. "Looking in a realistic way at the circumstances and preparing with ambition for the future are more important than the demonstrations of young people." The Polish primate told young people to resist attempts by other social groups to "exploit you for political games." "The activity of the Church is aimed at avoiding violent incidents, and therefore this appeal goes not only to the youth," the letter said. "The Polish hierarchy has many times asked the state powers to create conditions for youth that will permit them to realise the formation of their own personalities."

R JAMES (Jim) Jacob Miolin, executive officer of the Catholic Social Apostolate, was born at Guildford on December 30, 1935, and his early education was with the Mercy nuns at Guildford and Bassendean before he went on the CBHS Highgate. His first job on leaving school was in the insurance industry. He spent a year on a farm at Koolanooka and has been involved in seeding operations on six occasions. He returned to Perth to join the railways where he became a fireman on steam locomotives — he counts this and the farming as two of his most enjoyable working phases — worked for an agency as a salesman, went back into insurance fora long period and in February 1973, joined the Catholic Social Apostolate where for the past two years he has shared the work with his wife Jenny (see Wigzell). They have two daughters and three sons. Jim had a couple of terms on the Bassendean parish council and is now on the archdiocesan committee for the formation of parish councillors.

T

The little gatherings tend to develop as communities and a number of individuals have said that they never really felt part of the Church until they experienced the trust and lifesharing characteristics of the groups.

"IT

WAS only when I started my involvement with the lay apostolate," Jim says, "that I realised how deeply my parents had instilled into me an appreciation of the basic dignity of human beings and understanding of and sympathy with people who were considered 'different.' "Until then I had been at best a defensive Catholic and often wondered how I could keep going in the faith." He says that the teachings of Vatican II opened up to him the real values of the Church. He will always be grateful to Father Jim Mullins who was at the Redemptorist Mnastery in North Perth in the late 1960s. He involved Jenny and Jim in the Redemptorist Lay Missionary Society, one of whose tasks was to prepare parishes for forthcoming missions. Father Jim encouraged them to study the Vatican documents and to talk to people on the role of the laity in the Church. "This was a difficult task for me," Jim relates. "I often thought I didn't know what I was talking about, but the people to whom I was talking thought I did." Father Jim O'Brien, the first chaplain of the groups who had instructed Jenny in the faith for her conversion to Catholicism, married the couple in 1958. He succeeded in motivating them to bring together a few

Water polo and swimming are also among his favourite pastimes. couples to start a family group. Valuable support which has continued to this day came from Harry and Thelma Child. Jim continues: "In working for the Catholic Social Apostolate I have experienced many frustrations with people and with the institutional Church. "However, I have come to a deep appreciation of the Church and I see it as a very brave organisation prepared to speak out about injustices and human rights even when what it says runs contrary to popular opinion — which can change at any time. I - SEE the tremendous possibilities that Catholics have to build a just society. "The Church has demonstrated that it is big enough and strong enough to withstand any pressures that try to water down truth.

"I would like to see it give to its members more information about mistakes it has made in the past so that people can feel the humanity and spirit of Christ in the Church. That it can do this is demonstrated admirably in the section of the Vatican documents headed Catholic-Orthodox Declaration. "One of the real beauties of the Church is that it has made available so many means by which people can express their faith and worship in a way meaningful to them." Jim had a couple of terms on the Bassendean parish council and is now a member of the archdiocesan committee for .the formation of parish pastoral councillors. This is a body that was set up by a sub-committee of the Senate of Priests and the Diocesan Pastoral Council. Previously the work had been done by the Catholic Social Apostolate but it was decided that as the Senate and

the Council are the two bodies which speak directly to the archbishop on behalf of the clergy, religious and people it was their responsibility to establish a training body. The committee conducts days of reflection with councillors at both the parish and regional level. In recent times there has been a marked development of pastoral awareness and an increase in the pastoral care that councillors see needed in the people with whom they come in contact. "This is a big step from the early days," Jim says, "when councillors saw their role as simply helping Father to administer the parish so that he could have more time for his spiritual work. "People are now starting to recognise that they have a role to play which is unique, necessary and irreplaceable if they are going to show the world the Christ who cares for the needs of all."

R OME (NC) — Two Czechoslovakian Franciscans were convited of anti-government activities in april as part of the Czechoslovakian goveFnment's intensified "anti-religious campaign," said a statement issued by the Rome office of the Franciscan Friars Minor May 26. The statement said that Father Jan Barta (61), was sentenced April 6 in I,iberec, Czechoslovakia, to 18 months in prison and Father I,adislaw K osmas Trojan received a 15-month suspended sentence. "The charges against the two Franciscans were based on the usual accusations of religious activities, possession and diffusion of books

and writings on the theolop , violation of the laws of the state," the Franciscan statement said. Father Barta, who was condemned to 20 years in prison in 1952, was again convicted in November 1980, but served only, three months in prison, the statement added. the franciscans said that in recent months there has been "a wave of arrests and convictions" of religious fugures in Czechoslovakia, "not to mention searches by the police, even in rest homes for elderly priests and Religious, where liturgical tests, typewriters, breviaries, etc., have been seized."

celebration picnic and everyone was invited. There was so much to carry. Poor Wilfred got very tired as he lurched and bumped his way along the grassy track. What was it Mrs Apple has said was in the hamper he'd been asked to carry? Knives? Sandwiches? They were certainly very heavy. When they arrived and W ilfred was finally allowed to open the lid, he found the best surprise of all. Events may be imaginary but the location is real enough, and the nettlestem cloth, the clover bread, the soups, syllabubs and pies can all be made by a child with sharp eyes, a basket, and access to the country. Jill Barklem is married and lives with her husband on the edge of Epping Forest, just outside London.
