MATERIALIS WEAKENS FAMILY LIFE

V ATICAN CITY: Materialism and the absence of an orientation towards God are combining to weaken the values and structure of the family, Pope John Paul t old doctors and family planning teachers from throughout Italy last S aturday.

The pontiff said the regulation of fertility has become One of the most delicate a nd urgent problems for families today."

He emphasised the need for natural methods based on observation of the characteristics of human sexuality for the teaching and on respect of the Church. The pope said that "developments marked by materialism ( which seeks only earthly wellbeing and the ever-growing possession of consumer goods and by e xcludes naturalism — which from daily life any reference to God and to transcendent values) aim at emptying the family, especially in countries of highest of its economic development, deep meaning and sink it in a ‘dangerous crisis." As evidence of a decline in values," the pope said, "many Y oung people today, disoriented,

"Many families," the pontiff added, "do not know how to put into practice the obligation of responsible parenthood, as it was taught by the Second Vatican Council." Because the Church "believes in the family," said the pope, "it encourages natural family planning, based on the characteristics of human sexuality and which respect the fundamental principles of the church." The pope called investigating, perfecting and teaching natural family planning, works "of great importance." "It is providential that various methods of natural family planning suitable to different persons and diverse cultures exist," the pope said.

Letter makes a judgement

vAvvooNs\rTrOveRV

W ASHINGTON: The draft of a U.S. bishops' national pastoral letter on war and peace analyses the morality of nuclear deterrence and in so doing goes beyond the teaching of the Second Vatican Council which it notes "did not make a specific moral judgement on nuclear deterrence save to indicate its inherent dangers."

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. — Important elements of current U.S. nuclear deterrence policy are c ondemned as immoral in a draft national pastoral letter written by a committee of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, and distributed to them during their ten days of prayer and reflection here.

'Immoral' elements are condemned

Last November Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin, of Cincinnati, chairman of the bishops' c ommittee drafting the pastoral letter, delivered a committee progress report to the nations' bishops in which he said that the time may have come for a "new judgment on deterrence policy," going beyond the explicit teaching of the Second Vatican Council 16 years earlier. The Second Vatican Council declared that "Every act of war directed to the indiscriminate destruction of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants is a crime against God and man, which merits firm and unequivocal condemnation." It also declared, "The arms race is one of the greatest curses on the human race and the harm it inflicts on the poor is more than can be endured." It also questioned the theory of massive stockpiling of arms as a deterrent against attack, warning that it "only serves to aggravate" the causes of war and in the long run "is no infallible way of maintaining real peace . . . no sure and genuine path to achieving it." But the world's bishops gathered in council also said that many people view massive defensive deterrence "as the most effective way known at the present time for maintaining some sort of peace among nations." Aside from bluntly condemning all use of weapons of mass destruction against civilian populations, warning of the dangers of nuclear and other modern weapons of indiscriminate destruction, and urging new attitudes and new approaches to peace, the council did not address the specific issues involved in the use of nuclear weapons, the threat to use them, or their specific role in a policy of military deterrence. In making a fuller, deeper analysis of nuclear weapons themselves and offering concrete moral judgments on not only their use but the threat to use them and the possession of them in a policy of nuclear deterrence, the U.S. bishops' war and peace committee has worked out a far more detailed expression of Catholic teaching on war and peace than was done by the council. In doing so it has made what could be a major step toward a collective Church teaching on nuclear weapons, an issue that a number of religious leaders have begun to call the most serious moral issue in human history.

The revolution means that the safe, compact. monolithic church of the village, state or nation is no longer so. The new urban sprawls have produced a mental confusion and loss of identity in which a proportion of Catholics find it easier to opt out of the struggle to find that new identity.

BISHOPS GOT WHAT THEY EXPECTED

C OLLEGEVILLE, Minn. (NC) — The 252 U.S. bishops who came to Collegeville expected 10 days of prayer and reflection and "that's precisely what we did," said Archbishop John Roach, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Vatican officials installed a traffic light at the arch separating the Belvedere Courtyard from the Vatican Gardens and the papal apartments. The installation of the first traffic signal in the 104-acre city coincided with the introduction of new uniforms for the 100 Vatican security guards. The guards, who formally wore all-blue uniforms, are now dressed in white shirts, blue pants and ties, and a newly styled hat bearing the papal coat-ofarms.

A pioneer of the Nullarbor Pat Prendiville By BOB BOYLE

A WEEKLY FEATURE

M R PATRICK Garrett Prendiville, hotelier, businessman and a

nephew of the late Archbishop Prendiville, was born in Perth on March 28, 1923. He had his early schooling at the Sacred Heart kindergarten at Highate and the Northam Convent before going on to C BC Terrace and becoming one of the first pupils at Aquinas College in 1938. There he obtained blazer "pockets" for representing the school at football, cricket, tennis, swimming, athletics, rowing and rifle shooting. Later he was runner-up for the WA amateur golf title, represented the State six times, played A grade hockey and was training for the State team when he switched to golf. He gave up medical studies during the war to join the RAAF in which he was a pilot and served overseas. On his discharge when he was still aged only 21, he took over the licence of the Peninsula Hotel at Maylands from his father, Peter Garrett Prendiville, who was then suffering a terminal illness. He moved to the Windsor Hotel at South Perth and afterwards was associated with Neil Kennedy in an agency business for three years. In 1965 he bought the Balladonia hotel-motel on Eyre Highway and in 1970 acquired similar premises at Cocklebiddy farther east on the highway. In the past 17 years he has expanded both businesses substantially. Pat and his wife Paddy (nee Malloch), members of the Nedlands parish, have eight sons and three daughters ranging in age from 28 to nine.

IN 1965 when Pat Prendiville first saw the Bal-

ladonia hotel-motel on Eyre Highway and decided to buy it, he considered himself a cityslicker.

In the years that have followed necessity has endowed him—and his big family whose aid was essential — with many of the attributes of an outback pioneer.

YOUTH FORUM

New format a CPY 'Living' camp The most important topic at the last CPY eastern region meeting was the -forthcoming Christian Living Camp at York. A new look format will be tried with the emphasis placed on "a look at the Eucharist". Participants will consider the structure and significance of parts of the Mass and gain an understanding of the importance of the Mass in the everyday life of a young Catholic. Each member of the team has a specific role to play either as co-ordinator, Dave Suart; central team representative, Rick Althuizen; treasurer, Rick Wieman; public relations, Angie Kilsdonk; census keeper, Paul Janissen and myself as a full-timer. Although each has a duty to perform, they are first and foremost a "team member" being responsible for the organisation of regional functions and events. The two most recent were a bushwalk up Mount Cooke and the meeting. Mass and BBQ at Northam. The team is close knit and provides support and Christian challenge to each other. A team member is committed for, at least, a year so that they can actively and realistically spread the love of God to their own peers. The members of the Eastern Region CPY team pictured at their recent monthly meeting are: Left to right Angie Kilsdonk (public relations), Dave Suart (co-ordinator), Paul Janissen (census keeper), Rick Wieman (treasurer), Tony Do/in (full-timer), Rick Althuizen (central team representative) and Sharren Hansford (secretary).

by 1959 the new St Catherine's College was nearing completion. The stage was set for the opening of the new building. It was like history repeating itself, except that this time, notwithstanding the tremendous amount of work involved for all Council members, the 1960 preparations had been carried out over a year with new materials and adequate funds.

1946 a handful of women had spent a frantic three months t. ying to rehabilitate a rather dilapidated .old wooden structure into something fit to welcome women students at the beginning of the 1946 academic year. And they did it on a pittance because the funds they had been collecting for the past 18 years were earmarked for a building. Since its official opening in the early 1960's, the college has neverlooked back. Each year it has become home away from home for around 150 women. Preference is given to fulltime students at the Univeisity of Western Australia but applications are also invited from students of °the' tertiary institutions. College warden, Mrs Rosemar Y Reynolds is the person in the 'hot seat' when it comes to deciding who will have a place a St Catherine's.

ARCHBISHOP SLATES CATHOLIC READERS' DOUBLE STANDARDS ON PAPERS

C ANBERRA: Archbishop Edward Clancy, whose Canberra archdiocese participates editorially in the Sydney based Catholic Weekly newspaper, has issued a strong statement on the double standards of Catholic readers who are not supporting the Catholic newspapers which are fighting for e conomic survival.

The full text of the archbishop's statement is as follows: Tighe Ryan, one-time editor of the "Catholic Press", once wrote to Father Hartigan apologising for not having published one of his poems.

He asked the author not to "think too unkindly of a poor editor who in steering his ship is always in danger of running into a mine or a submarine." If the editor of a Catholic newspaper had such problems 70 years ago, then pity the poor editor of today. It is extremely difficult for a Catholic paper to survive in today's world. This can be attributed, in part, to the much more intense competition for people's time, in part to the fact that Catholic news now receives considerable coverage in the secular media, and in part, of course, to the massive increase in the cost of running a newspaper. Most of the trouble, however, lies with the fragmentation of "customer demand."

In agreement

In a statement published in The Catholic Weekly, Archbishop Clancy has pointed out that the future of the Catholic press has only one solution: people must buy it and support it. The Catholic Weekly has supplied the following comment on Archbishop's Clancy's remarks: His statement comes at a time when most religious newspapers are suffering a decline in circulation. Our Sunday Visitor, for example, which is the United States' biggest circulating national Catholic newspaper, had a circulation of over one million in the 1950s. Today, its circulation is 200,000, which is the equivalent of about one in 160 Catholics in the United States. Similarily, The Catholic Weekly has seen a decline in circulation over the past 25 years, but not at the rate of the American newspapers. The Catholic Weekly's present circulation represents about one in 50 Catholics in New South Wales. This decline is not peculiar in Australia to The Catholic Weekly. The Weekly still has the highest audited net paid circulation of any religious newspaper in Australia, but if its future is to be assured, however, the downward trend in circulation must be reversed. This can be achieved only if more Catholics give the newspaper their support, as suggested by Archbishop Clancy.
