Solidarity in pursuit of rights of workers

GENEVA, Switzerland: Using the word "solidarity" 51 times during a one-hour address to the International Labour Organisation, Pope John Paul called for solidarity among governments, employers and workers in the pursuit of workers' rights.

to destroy the Mater Misericordiae Hospital, North Sydney.

He refused to name the people concerned but in his battle to prevent the closure of the Mater he spoke of sinister forces hell-bent upon demolishing this "centre of excellence in Christian caring for the sick". Bishop Muldoon attacked the New South Wales Government at a function last week when he presented a medical alert system on behalf of the firm, Vitalcall, to the Geriatric and Rehabilitation U nit at the Mater Hospital.

When asked if the Wran government would suffer if the Mater were closed, he replied: "It will, with one proviso: that it is time the Opposition stopped dabbling in politics and became a true political party which they are not." Bishop Muldoon then added: If the government does go ahead with the closure it will lea'rn all too late that it has made a very grave error of judgment."

Substantial increases in teachers' salaries due to provisions made by award since January I are blamed for the crisis. Fees had been raised to meet an earlier pay rise which became operative at the beginning of the year. Now parents, principals and priests are to be consulted to determine in due course what increase of fees may be necessary, beginning in Term Three, with a view to help balance the 1982 budget. Cardinal Freeman states: "To meet the immediate been made to keep the level of diocesan school fees as low as possible with progressive reductions for second and third children and with complete remission of fees for fourth or subsequent children. School fees have risen 47 per cent since 1977 and additional contributions have been sought for buildings and recurrent purposes. The increase in teachers' salaries has been about 39 per cent since January, 1980. Cardinal Freeman states: "To meet the imediate crisis and to ensure that teachers' salaries may be paid fortnightly without interruption these requests are made: That the full amount of State Government grants, which are paid to each school, be remitted to the office of the Catholic Building and finance Commission as soon as received: and that surplus funds held in school fees accounts be remitted immediately, retaining only the amount required for stipends for religious for the month of June and the authorised amount for 'other costs' for Term Two". In a letter addressed to principals, Brother Kelvin Canavan, Deputy Diocesan Director of Schools, confirms that the very prompt remittance of the state per capita grants and surplus funds to the commission has considerably helped relieve the pressure on finances. A statement issued by the Catholic Education Office, Sydney, and entitled: Funding of Catholic Schools in New South Wales, refers to the severe strain on nongovernment schools because of rising salary costs. It claims that recent movements in pay scales have made it very difficult for non-government school authorities to continue to provide resources at an acceptable level. The staff of the CEO add in their statement: "The ability to attract and maintain enrolments is very dependent on the schools satisfying parents and generally meeting their expectations. "The assistance given in recent years to school building projects by both governments is greatly appreciated by the Catholic community." The statement also points out that in recent years successive state governments have paid interest subsidies on approved building projects in non-government schools. In the 1981 Budget the level of subsidy was raised to 121/2 per cent.

School's dreadful water supply causing blood dysentery Over 2,000 extremely poor children attending St. Joseph's High School at Mahuadanr, an intensely hot area in South Bihar, are seriously affected by the. school's totally inadequate water supply. Since 1977, when money for the new school ran out, all water for drinking purposes, toilets and laboratory needs has had to be carried up to 400 metres. There is never enough water on hand for the 2,000 children. Conditions in the toilets are better left unwritten. Hauling water from a 50 foot well is not only dangerous, but beyond the capacity of most small children. So these kids drink often polluted river water and become extremely ill with blood dysentery. Health authorities have demanded urgent action. But the Head Master, Australian Jesuit Father Tom Keogh, just doesn't have the money, and has appealed for help. He needs funds urgently to sink new wells, equip them with pumps and piping, and install four storage tanks. These children need your loving concern for their welfare, not only for clean and abundant water, but for nourishing food. Many are affected by malnutrition, iron deficiencies and worm infestation. Whatever you can give will be gratefully acknowledged by:National Director, Father G. Drumm, SJ., Australian Jesuits in India (operating since 1951), PO Box 193, North Sydney, 2060.

Rehecord The familiar softening-up process was hard at work on the fringe of the in-vitro fertilisation process this week with the proposal of surrogate motherhood being squarely planted in the news headlines. A justifiable reaction would be to set off in moral pursuit of the sort of woman who would make a $10,000 deal to host the in-vitro offspring. But shock and horror are not only interesting instruments with which to confuse and tease the public's emotions, they are also a smoke-screen for the very complex moralities which are now intersecting the whole field of micro-biology. There is the question of the morality of reporting the hair-brained suggestion of a woman whose only justification was her claim that she is not happy unless she is pregnant. Yet when Nationwide reporters beat a path to the woman's door they were pained to find that she had been shrewd enough to have already sold her story to the channel down the road. On the other hand, if the public don't mind the commercial exploitation of criminals' doings, the lurid lives of stars, or the tantrums of sportsmen it is only an extension of the process to.have found the market for the surrogate mother story. In the wake of the sensationalised story the in-vitro sources had no option but to point out that their programmes were already overcommitted to achieving pregnancy for couples to be concerned with such an exercise, plus the warning that it is not a process to be attempted by amateurs. Ironically the most recent word from the medical teams was that journalists ought to show more restraint in their publicising of such stories. Yet it is precisely the shroud of silence over the whole in-vitro process that has given rise to questioning from many quarters about what is really going on behind the scenes and why. In other words, when is silence moral? Is the lady in question doing us a favour by alerting us to a subject on which too often we have been informed only after the event had happened? There are continual calls from many quarters that the time is overdue to establish ethical and professional guidelines for microbiology. As Bishop D'Arcy points out in this issue, a call for a moratorium on experimentation is not to decry the technology involved but in order to give the human conscience time and the opportunity to think out the issues. The Catholic Church while refraining from making any explicit moral decision on the invitro process, need make no apology for the number of concerned Catholic spokesmen who are expressing their reservations, even if time may prove them to be groundless. The Catholic Church becomes isolated in such a debate because it alone claims a specific teaching process by which the consciences of people ought to be formed, other denominations merely offering the opinions of their committees with no obligation on church members to take an eventual defined position on moral issues. What the Church may have to say is that more is at stake than merely a complex intellectual argument about whether a technological process is moral simply because it is possible and inoffensive to a certain group of people. What is at stake is the deeper fabric of life and love itself. It is more than the soap opera question of whether one would like to have a surrogate mother living next door, or a surrogate child playing in the yard.

At North Perth this weekend the Redemptorists are celebrating the centenary of the arrival of the Congregation in Australia. It is also the 250th anniversary of the founding of the order by St Alphonsus Liguori.

The Church is now confronted with the task of defending the permanent bond of love that belies the. coming together of a man and woman and which alone can truly fulfil the personal dimension of the child they conceive. That marriages fail, that children are successfully adopted out or fostered into homes, or even simply jettisoned to make their own way in the world is no answer to contradict that teaching. What the surrogate mother proves is that a society which no longer takes marriage commitment over-seriously is now paying the penalty in many directions and that love and life are being marketed as cheap commodities, disposable according to a whim. Those who want to detect the crack's on the fabric of society are seeing the process happen very close to their daily lives. • • • • • 26 John Street, Perth WA 6000 • The •• • • The Editor, The Record, PO Box 50 • • Aberdeen Street, Perth, 6000 • • Advertising: • • Vanguard Service Telephone 328 1388 • • r egistered for posting as a newspaper Category "A" (11). • Produced in WA • Printed and published weekly by Edward vanHeemst, • • 26 John Street, Perth. • • Established 1874 • • • • ••••••••••••••••••• OOOOOOOOO •••••••••••••••• . . • - . .• • • •I •

Homosexuals

LONDON (NC) — The majority of a British Methodist committee studying sexual morality has concluded that homosexual activity is not inherently wrong and homosexuals should not be barred from holding office in the Methodist Church

CHURCH TRAPPED

DENPASAR, Indonesia — The dwindling diocese of Bali is caught between East and West, according to Bishop Vitalis Djebarus.

The bishop said Catholic emigration, Hindu traditions and Western tourists all posed problems for the Church on the islands of Bali and Lombok, which constitute his diocese. Many Catholic families had moved to Sumatra and Sulawesi, but most of the poor peasants had stayed behind, the bishop said. The 1 1 ,000 Catholics, 0.3 per cent of the islands population, could not support their diocese, so it was dependent on overseas funds, he said. "If the flow of aid stops, the whole situation will be very serious," the bishop added. He said the Church was not growing among the 2.4 million Hindu majority on the islands. When Balinese converted to Christianity, they became outcasts in society, the bishop said. Each village had its own awig-awig, or customary laws, that included sanctions against those who changed their religion. "These sanctions are terrifying for Balinese," the bishop said. Besides those taboos, many European tourists also deterred local conversions, the bishop said. He regretted that some tourists "give scandal to the Hindus by the way they behave. The Hindus associate Christianity with the tourists, for Christianity, too, comes from the West".

On his recent six -day visit to the United Kingdom the Pope spoke to hundreds and thousands of people throughout the length and breadth of the country. He spread his message of love and faith throughout the land and some excerpts from his speeches are reprinted here.

POPE PRAISES FAITH OF THE SCOTS

GLASGOW, Scotland: Pope John Paul praised the faith of Scottish Catholics when he spoke at an outdoor Mass at Bellahourston Park in Glasgow. In the course of his speech he said:

a new person who has within himself or herself the vocation to growth and development, parents by that very fact take on the task of helping that person e ffectively to live a fully human life.

As the Second Vatican Council recalled, "since parents have conferred life on their children, they have a most solemn obligation to educate their offspring. Hence, parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate for their failure in it. For it devolves on parents to create a family atmosphere so animated with love and reverence for God and others that a well-rounded personal and social development will be fostered among the children. Hence, the family is the first school of those social virtues which every society needs.

The right and duty of parents to give education is essential, since it is connected with the transmission of human life; it is original and primary with regard to the educational role of others, on account of the uniqueness of the loving relationship between parents and children; and it is irreplaceable and inalienable, and therefore incapable of being entirely delegated t o others or unsurped by others. In addition to these characteristics, it cannot be forgotten that the most basic element, so basic that it qualifies the educational role of parents, is parental love, which finds fulfilment in the task of education as it completes and perfects its service of life. As well as being a source, the parents' love is also the animating principle and therefore the norm inspiring and guiding all concrete educational activity, enriching it with the values of kindness, constancy, goodness, service, disinterestedness s and self-sacrifice that are the most precious fruit of love.

PEG Durack has been a member of the Jesuit Missions ladies auxiliary f or the past 18 years and president for eight. There is a vast, gaping need that must be met, she says and with the auxiliary's numbers diminished slightly over the years it's time to look for some new faces. Last year the auxiliary raised $6,000 as part of Australian and New Zealand funds which are the sole support for five million people in the

poverty stricken Hazaribagh and Palamau districts of South Bihar, some 230 miles north-west of Calcutta. Bihar is one of the poorest states in India. Peg Durack has also been a catechist for the past 14 years and works for the Ryder -Cheshire, international aid organisation.
