Largest intake of acolytes Housing poor

The 1982 Catholic Social Justice statement says that the housing system in Australia is structured against poor people and promotes poverty, that thousands of people are homeless and many more have housing problems.

The statement, House and Home: A Christian Call for Housing Justice, has been prepared by the Catholic Commission or Justice a nd Peace in readiness for Social Justice Sunday, September 26. The statement sees the government's first priority being to enable people to move out of the private rental market. It states that it is essential that the state housing authorities provide more accommodation for people on low incomes to enable them to move out of the private rental market and to offer them an alternative path to home ownership. In the statement, the commission is concerned that there is no national housing policy upon which all governments in Australia agree. Until the governments can agree on a national policy for nationwide implementation there is little prospect of substantial improvement in housing for those in need. The statement sees the development of a national housing policy as an urgent task. The statement is critical of government proposals to remove controls on the financial system. Government policy in the past has often excluded the poorest groups from the benefit of home ownership. Proposals that government controls on the financial system be removed will make the situation worse. The increased funds available for housing will be at a cost that the poorest people simply cannot afford.

DON'T PAY THRU THE NOSE

R OME (NC) — Now in its 15th year, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal is seeking a new episcopal adviser and considering a new Church status that could significantly change the movement's day-to-day operations.

Council for the Charismatic

Renewal, said the change would be desirable because the movement sees itself as "as service for r enewing the whole Catholic Church." "We don't claim a monopoly on the Holy Spirit's work of renewal," he added, "but the closer we can work with and in the Church as a very normal part of the Church, the better we would be able to fulfill our purpose." The Charismatic Renewal, which begain in Pittsburgh in February 1967, has some 10 million members worldwide, with strongly Catholic South America having the largest number and the United States running "a very close second", Father Mascarenhas estimated. The search for a new episcopal adviser is related to the possible change in church status, because the adviser to such a body would automatically be named by the pope. When the late Pope Paul VI asked Cardinal Suenens, now 78, and the retired archbishop of Malines-Brussels, Belgium, to take a special interest in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, it was an appointment "without precedent", Father Mascarenhas said. The cardinal submitted his resignation as episcopal adviser t o both the International Council and Office last February, less than a year after the office had moved from Brussels to Rome.

The council has no past experience on which to base the choice of a successor to Cardinal Suenens, said Father Mascarenhas, adding that the adviser will eventually be appointed or confirmed by the pope in any case. The council is also in the process of adding three new members — t wo from Asia and one from French-speaking Africa, further delaying the question of finding a new episcopal adviser. Both Father Mascarenhas and Father Forrest are based in R ome but travel frequently on behalf of the Charismatic Renewal., "Our main work is to safeguard and promote the Catholic orientation of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, to keep in contact with the leaders and to provide leadership formation," the Indian priest said. The International Office has "no authority in any place," he said. "The bishop is always the authority. But we are a service body -- we offer service to those who will accept it." That service might involve leading a charismatic prayer group t oward a more service-oriented outlook, informing bishops who are "not hostile but just indifferent" about the realities of the Charismatic Renewal, or coordinating plans for retreats or seminars drawing clergy or lay people from various nations.

This was said by Passionist Father Jefferies Foale after he returned from Thailand to st.udy the future of 800 Kampuchean minors who are unaccompanied in refugee camps. Father Foales is national director of the Indo-China Refugee Association. "Thailand is seeking assurance of prompt resettlement of the entire

"Australia could make a very substantial contribution to resettlement within the limits of previous IndoChinese refugee programme levels of 15,000 per year by concentrating one third of the intake on Kampuchean efugees, one third Laotian and one third Vietnamese," he said.

Pope reaffirms on euthanasi VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John PaulII has reaffirmed the church's opposition to euthanasia and urged that society give the elderly a worthy "place androle in human society".

In a letter to the World Conference on the Third Age, sponsored by the UnitedNations in Vienna, A ustria, the pope said the Catholic stand on euthanasia, contained in a 1980 declaration of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is based on the Christian viewpoint of human life.

Kindergarten for a throne M ORMANNO, Italy (NC) — A southern Italian bishop has offered to sell a 15thcentury episcopal throne and his title of baron in order to fund a local Catholic kindergarten. Bishop Giiolamo Grillo of Cassano all'lonio announced that profits from an auction of the throne and the title would be used to .keep open a kindergarten run by the Sisters of Charity in Mormanno, a primarily agricultural town with about 5,000 residents. "For several years, the kindergarten has been run only on contributions from the mothers of the children who attend it," the bishop said in his homily. "But now the administrative costs are too

high," he added. "And so I make my offer." Bishop Grillo, 52, admitted that there were problems with the sale of the items. Transfer to the ownership of the throne, made in the 1400s. must be approved by the italian superintendent for artistic and cultural patrimony, while sale of the title of Baron of Mormanno requires authorization by the Vatican Congregation fo the Clergy. As head of the Cassano all'lonio Diocese, Bishop Grillo is also Baton of Trebisacce and of San Basile. He said he has no plans to sell the other two titles in the near future.

He specifically cited "May the leaders of "Life is a gift of God to four of the principles t oday's world work men, created by love in his image and likeness," the • attention to the elderly together for a true promoFrench-language papal letas such and to the quality tion of man and lead their peoples along that route," ter said. of their lives; "This understanding of • respect for the right of he added. the sacred dignity of the the elderly to remain active The Holy See was represhuman person leads one to members of society; ented at the Vienna confergive value to all stages of promote ence by a five -man to desire the • life," he added.

Liturgy for children a success

Up to 40 children in Years 1 to 6 are attending the weekly children's liturgy of the Word that has been co-ordinated for the past 18 months by Pat and Leonie Reid in St Joseph Pagnatelli parish.

Meanwhile the costs of taking each enquiry through a course of p ostal instructions has now risen to $32 in 1982. "It cost $29 per enquirer in 1981 to provide this entirely free service," said the Perth-born director of the centre, Father James FitzPatrick OM1 when he issued the annual report last month. "Twenty years ago the cost of taking one enquirer through the course was 50 shillings and this rapidly rising cost shows the urgent need for increased support for the work of the centre.

S WELL as the family, which is the object but above all the subject of pastoral care of the family, one must also mention the other main agents in this particular sector.

"It is not only that the collections have more than doubled," he wrote. "That is, indeed, very good. "But more important is the fact that Pontifical Mission Aid Societies have taken firm root and are flourishing because you have sowed the good seed in the fertile field of Australian Catholic life." "Encouragement is, perhaps, to be likened to watering the garden. "Only very careful nurturing and constant care will keep that garden in tip-top shape. "That. I know, is what you have done and will continue to do."

He said this is a message to the conference of diocesan directors of the Pontifical Mission Aid Societies meeting in Canberra.

- as the final statement of the first plenary council of the Asian Bishops' Conference says --- 'all the spiritual gifts that are theirs.' "They have freshness of outlook, vitality, courage, compassion, integrity, generosity, an open heart, willingness to learn. "These young people want to be modern. "They are turned resolutely to the future, rather than the past. "There is passionate concern for human freedom, dignity and justice. "They are searching for a meaning to life and for values which will give direction to their lives in a world of uncertainty."

Australia is high on the ladder of giving to the missions, according to Archbishop D.S. Lourdusamy, president of the Pontifical Works f or the Propagation of the Faith.

Bishop D'Souza was one of the main speakers at the conference. "Two-thirds of the people in Asia are under the age of 25," he said. "Most of them were born in the post-independence era of their country, with no memory of the colonial past. "But they are deeply conscious of the injustices of our times. "They are aware of all forms of exploitation of the common people; of the instability and unjust nature of the political and social structures; of inefficient and frustrating economic planfling; of corruption, often organised. "They are groping for a solution to develop a just and a humane society. — But they are often deceived by ideologies that encourage violence and confrontation." Bishop D'Souza said the future of Asia and its people depends on these young people. "They are to take over the leadership of their countries and guide the destinies of their nations, "Many of these young people are looking for deep and genuine religious experience.

There have never been so many new Christians in such a short time - - 150 years, he said. "The evangelisation of Africa was not achieved through military power, as in South America," he said. "The gospel was freely accepted. The progress of evangelisation in Africa cannot be compared with the much slower conversion of A sia where Christianity has not really succeeded in leaving its mark on the great sub-continents of India and China." But, he added, there are problems. "I would say that materialism, not communism, is the greatest threat to evangelisation in Africa," he said. "The transistor radio has now reached all the villages of Africa. "And the Africans are gradually being overcome by the Western ideals of comfort and secularisation, the new idols of Western societies, the godless values. "The rapid development of cities is gradually disrupting the traditional values of community life among Africans. "One can witness the gradual collapse of moral principles, especially with regard to the protection of life. "The development of abortion and contraception and the great efforts to reduce the number of children in families have diminished the dynamism of many Western countries, slowly but surely. "Western societies are becoming t he sanctuaries of old age pensioners. "One of the greatest assets of Third World countries is that in many undeveloped and poor areas,

Father Goupille the greatest potential remains human resources. "Materialism with its idols is undermining these human resources." Other problems he mentioned were; • Nationalism: New African governments are anxious to build their nations quickly. This is understandable. "But excess in that field can quickly tip over into fierce nationalism," he said. This can lead to fierce reactions against colonialism and to persecution of the Church. • Apartheid in South Africa: "Many people proclaim themselves Christian and practise apartheid," he said. "It is not exaggerating to say we are losing thousands of African Christians by tolerating the policy of apartheid." • The gap between the rich and the poor: "Third World countries in Africa see Western countries as

The man to whom Australia owes its claim to the Antarctic is the subject of the documentary Our World: Sir Douglas Mawson — The Survivor on Tuesday, September 14, at 7.30 pm. The documentary marks the centenary of the Antarctic explorer's birth. During an ill-fated scientific expedition to Antarctica in 1912 led by Mawson, two of his companions perished, leaving him ill, weak and alone. Against all odds he struggled back to base camp at Commonwealth Bay. A reconstruction of the tragic expedition is the basis of the documentary which also examines much of the life of the once professor of geology at the University of Adelaide. The programme includes interviews with the explorer, his daughters, contemporaries and students. * * * * *

Most actors do, she says. You like to think that as the years go it gets easier and easier but it doesn't. The first night is always the worst. It's a bit, she laughs, like the man who hits his head on a brick wall .. . it's lovely when the pain stops. Versatility is a must when you take to the stage. "I dance and sing and flit around when I have to," she grins. "I even tap danced in No, No Nanette a couples of years ago." She is lucky to be in a position to pick and choose her work. It is, she says, very hard to earn a living from the theatre and she would recommend it to anyone.

"There's always the hope that you'll get picked up for television or a film which pay well and of course the tours are usually more worthwhile, but generally the benefits are not financial," she said. "And anyway I don't want the competition," she grinned as an aside.

BUT

WORKING in the theatre is like belonging to a great, big family.. . it's an immediate bond, she says. "Theatre people are awfully boring to other people but I don't necessarily think they're insular," she said. "I generally find them woi Idly and exciting, it's just that when we get together all we talk about is theatre and than can be dull if youste not involved in it. "And the work never gets boring. I find the producers interesting because you never stop learning. Even if you do a play again there will be something different about it. She's met many people in the theatre and there are those whom she admires: "But I'm not saying who because I'll be leaving others out." Her sense of fun is infectious and all encompassing. You have ptobablY seen her on television without knowing it. She's done a number of commei cials there was the little old lady on the motor bike: the 'vision' in tulle and straw jumping up and down on a trampoline and the 'lady' dressed to kill in a Paris creation giving vicious karate chops to all and sundry. In 1977 she was awarded an MBE for her services to theatre. It was an unexpected and cherished honour. It was warmly applauded by her peers and the public alike . . . a mark of r ecognition for a lady who has been described by those who work with her as dedicated, honest and loyal. In the mercurial world of theatre Mar gatet Fold has always managed to keep her 'senses' . . . sense of humour, common sense and sensitivity.

The youngest of four children, she was born in Tipperary, WA, outside York, and after her education at Victoria Square served as a teaching monitor with the Education D epartment before entering the Sisters of Mercy in 1925 in the footsteps of her sister, the late Sister Columbanus. In 1936 she became the founding principal of St Columba's school Bayswater and served there for nearly 20 years before being posted to Victoria Square for six years. In 1958 she moved to Santa Maria College and spent nearly 20 years there, establishing her r eputation in the teaching of music and languages. She is speciallyremembered by past pupils for her directions of musicals such as My Fair Lady and for which she was the t alented accompanist and producer. In 1970 she became principal of St Joachim's high school, Victoria

Park, and was instrumental in the integration of the Aboriginal students who began attending St Joachim's from the Pallottine Centre, Rossmoyne. She returned to Santa Maria in 1975 and stayed there until the time of her final illness. Her funeral took place from the Santa Maria College chapel on September 6. Sister Mary Paschal is survived by her brotherin-law Mr Bert Herbert and nieces and nephews. May she rest in peace.

In-vitro guidelines declared

Ethics listed By LAURA VELTMAN, The Weekend Australian

ETHICAL guidelines for the conduct of medical research involving humans were announced yesterday, with special attention to in vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer. The guidelines were formulated by the National Health and Medical Research Council, which advised all health ministers to implement them, and ate intended to help monitor and control research using human subjects. The guidelines, recommended by the first report of the council's working party regarding in Vitro fertilisation and embryo transfer, took account "of the need to avoid obsti ucting research on aspects of infertility which, if fruitful, might provide for many couples a healthy, happy life".
