POLITICIANS SHOULD BE HONOURED DUBLIN, Ireland (NC) — Politicians should not be the objects of distrust and cynicism and should be honoured for their efforts toward the common g ood, Monsignor Michael Olden said at a Mass to mark the opening of the new Irish Parliament. Msgr. Olden, president of the principal Irish seminary, St. Patrick's College in Maynooth, gave the homily at the Mass, which was attended by t he members of Parliament. " Hie politician has to accept a certain insecurity and for that he should be held in honour," Msgr. Olden said. "He is called to have an ethical sensibility in public which is not demanded of the ordinary citizen. He therefore bears uncommon strains and tensions and for that again he must be honoured." Msgr. Olden praised the achievements of Ireland in the 60 years since independence. A democratic society has been established and the country has a loyal army and a merciful police force, he added.
Yardstick is basic values
W ASHINGTON (NC) Genetic research and intervention should be a ssessed "in terms of the basic values at stake," including "the sacredness of human life itself,- a Jesuit moral theologian told a congressional hearing on genetic engineering. l estitying bet ore the oversight subcommittee of the !louse Committee on Science and Technology, Jesuit Father Richard A McCormick, Rose F Kennedy protessor of Christian ethics at Georgetown University's Kennedy Institute of Ethics, said the values at stake in genetic research and intervention include: "The sacredness of human life itself. "The meaning of ourselves of social (and therefore i nterdependent) beings. - "The interconnection of life systems. "The meaning of sexuality, the family and individual self-identity. — "The goals of genetic research and its environmental effects. - "The priorities of our research effort, especially as supported by the federal or state governments. "If we fail to view genetic intervention in terms of the basic values at stake, we fail to assess it adequately," Father McCormick said. "We sacrifice long-term well being for immediate gain. Americans are a pragmatic, interventionist people. They succeed now and pay later. This we cannot afford." Father McCormick recommended that the procedure in deliberating on genetic research and intervention differ from the usual governmental process, which he said involved "political trade-offs, compromise. power plays, constituent-sensitive concessions and economic cost-benefit considerations." Father McCormick said he was in general confident in the maturity of the scientific community to regulate itself. "Nonetheless," he continued. "I judge it to be paramount that there be some public mechanism of ongoing deliberation and assessment of progress in this area."

Brian builds fora better world
A weekly feature
In 1963 when architect Brian Jackson joined the Knights of the Southern Cross little did he know that it would lead him to playing a major role in the establishment of aged people's homes in WA which would be emulated by the eastern states.
Today he is working on his fifth such development and this avenue of building represents his major interest. Born in Perth in 1931, Brian was fortunate to attend the Sacred Heart Primary school at Mt Lawley which was the first to be built and specially designed to accommodate the M ontessori method of teaching. Later he attended Christian Brothers, Highgate, the Sacred Heart school in Wagin during the war years and completed most of his secondary education at St Louis School, Claremont.

Teaching the Testament
A seven-part series titled The Spirit in History's Voices begins on these pages this week. It is part of our ongoing series, Pathways of the Spirit. What is the value of history' Fihy search for our religious roots? One reason: the history of salvation is our story too. Looking into our history, we find people much different from us, yet like us. We encounter vastly different cultures, only to learn that in important ways they resembled our own. Norbertine Father Alfred .McBride tells the story of Isaiah this week. It is a story, he explains. that helps reveal some of the meaning for us in the history of the Hebrew people. Father McBride is a well-known educator and lecturer from St Norbert 's Abbey in De Pere, lie will he our chief writer throughout this historical section. Patricia Davis provides a glimpse into the life of the fascinating King David. His story is the human story writ large, she thinks, as she helps readers probe the Old Testament's value. Ms Davis is on the staff of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat for the Laity. Neil Parent notes that the Israelites are the spiritual ancestors of Christians. Like the Israelies. we too are called to form community and to be faithful, Parent says.

Do you think you are too busy meeting present-day challenges in a rapidly changing world to be expected also to know about past history? 3. How would you benefit from a greater awareness of your personal history? From a greater awareness of your religious history? 4. Do you consider it important to know the history of Christianity? Why? 5. What reason does Father Alfred McBride give for studying the history of the Hewbrew people? 6. What kind of a society was the prophet Isaiah born into, according to Father McBride? 7. What does Father McBride say about the attitudes of people like Isaiah who respond to God's initiative? 8. In Patricia Davis' story, why does she say King David was a "man after God's own heart?"
AMOS --- THE FIRST OF THE WRITING PROPHETS
Amos was the first of the writing prophets.
Brother Tom Nabity looks over music at the Monastery of the Holy Ghost in Conyers, Ga. The Divine Office recited daily in monasteries throughout the world is filled with psalms that have endured for several thousand years. Messages contained in the psalms are timeless. They speak of basic human longings and needs and they speak directly to the heart. 411.

The Record, January 6 — 12, 1983
Of course, there were prophets before Amos who were significant figures. Men like Nathan in the days of David, and Elijah and Elisha in the turbulent times of Ahab and Jezebel. Calling Amos a writing prophet is misleading in a way. The prophets were not writers, they were preachers. But some prophets had devoted disciples who preserved their sermons. It is in this sense that they are called writing prophets. In the course of time the sermons were edited and adapted to changing conditions. The result of all this activity is the literature called the prophetic books. Before Amos was chosen by Yahweh, he tended his employer's flocks in the region of Tekoa, not far from Bethlehem. Then between 760 and 750 B.C., God sent Amos to preach in the northern kingdom.
By Father John Castelot And off Amos went, fearlessly strong in the conviction that God was with him. One can imagine the reception this apparently simple rustic herder got from the sophisticated upper crust of Israel. 'The nerve of him! And a southerner to boot!" Undaunted, Amos delivered God's message in unmistakably clear terms which echoed the "roar of Yahweh." (Amos 1:20) In all probability, the little book which bears the name of Amos contains only a selection of his sermons, but the selection is precious. The language is remarkably poetic, filled with picturesque allusions to the rural life he knew so well.
Amos starts off by declaiming against the frightful injustices and barbarisms of foreign nations. This tickles the ears of his audience, and they listen with smug pleasure to the ugly fate in store for their enemies. Then, abruptly, Amos turns on them. He tells them Yahweh has even worse punishment in store for them. His description of their crimes is devastating, and his emphasis on their sins against social justice has earned for him the epithet, "Prophet of God's Justice." The head priest at the shrine of Bethel finally silences Amos and runs him out of the country, but
not until after the prophet has taken a parting shot at him which must have made his blood run cold. Only a quarter of a century later Amos' predictions proved true. But even though Amos was the prophet of God's justice, he did not lose sight of God's mercy. His book comes to a close on a note of hope. After all, Amos was sent not to crush the Israelites but to bring them to their senses. Yes, their sins have been heinous. When the "day of the Lord" comes it will be a dread day of reckoning for those who perverted justice and religion. The Assyrians will be the unwitting instruments of Yahweh's vengeance, carrying out their mission with a barbaric zeal too ghastly even to imagine.
However, there will be a "remnant," a group of the faithful poor who will be mercifully spared. (9:11-12) And the nation will rise again with a descendant of David at its head. Poetically, Amos first depicts the glorious House of David reduced to the pathetic proportions of a miserable little hut. Later the House of David will rise from its humiliation. The day of Yahweh . . . the remnant . . . the restored dynasty of David. Did Amos invent these images? Or had they already found a place in the prophetic tradition? Whatever the case, they were images that burst from the lips of the first of the writing prophets with the kind of vigour that bears conviction and helps impart it too.

In his oratorio "King David", the composer Arthur Honnegger has the dying monarch say: "0 God, it was so good to live!" What a fitting conclusion to the remarkable life of a major Old Testament figure. David is traditionally Israel's greatest and most loved king, and his story is full of the same variety and drama which fills the psalms of the Old Testament. Scripture scholars now recognise t hat the psalms, previously attributed to David, were written over a period of hundred of years as songs for worship. Some psalms date from the time of David, about 1000 B.C., and were probably composed by or for him. Surely his life was rich in material which could give rise to such prayers. David was one of the many children of Jesse and a grandson of Ruth. He is described as a handsome youth who was a courageous shepherd and skillful warrior. A t God's command, the prophet Samuel went to Bethlehem to annoint a successor to King Saul. Samuel chose Jesse's youngest son, David. This reminded those present that God does not judge by appearances. Instead "the Lord looks into the heart." David was called to the court of the tormented King Saul to soothe him with music. He was appointed one of Saurs arm bearers. But t he king's favour turned to jealous rage. For the youth's popularity soared following his slaying of the mighty Goliath.
David: the human an the legend
human experience. 1 can hear David exclaiming, "0 Lord, our Lord, how glorious is Your name over all the earth!" I can imagine him railing, "Rise up, 0 Lord, in Your anger; rise against the fury of my foes." The prayer of David might well have been, "Have mercy on me, 0 God, in Your goodness. In the greatness of Your compassion wipe out my offence." And he could have mourned, "Companion and neighbour You have taken away from me; my only friend is darkness." David is the human person, writ large. And the psalms, his prayers, By Patricia Davis are our prayers.

Centenary Cabaret
The YCW Centenary Cabaret was an end of year highlight for the Perth movement. Over 300 people of all ages enjoyed an evening to mark 100 years since the birth of the f ounder Carol Joseph Cardijn. Among those attending the cabaret from the youth of yesteryear were one time members of the YCW Atheletic Club, and members of the National Catholic Girls' movement, the fore runner to the Girls YCW movement who also boosted the numbers.

SURIIM1 Of disunity
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, built on the site of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection, stands today as a s ymbol of Christian disunity and neglect in the Holy Land. The souvenir shops s urrounding the church produce an a tmosphere more like a flea market than a shrine. S caffolds for repairs rise from various spots on the floor of t he Crusader -built s tructure. Pilgrims and tourists wander among them and the old stone columns in attitudes of veneration and confusion.
BY JOSEPH RYAN The writer, news editor of the Catholic Standard and Times, weekly newspaper of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia visited several countries in the Middle East in November.

Eliahu Ben-Alisar, chairman of the Israeli Parliament's Committee for Defence and Foreign Affairs, said Arab claims of land confiscation in the West Bank arise because the Jordanians, who controlled the West Bank until 1967, started registering land deeds in the area only after 1948 and "the situation gives rise to disputes" as people without deeds say parcels of territory taken by the Israelis are traditional family lands.

On the threshold of the New Year1983, for the sixteenth World Day of Peace,Ipresent to you this message on the theme Dialogue for Peace, a challenge for our time. I am addressing it to all those who are, on the one hand, a people responsible for peace: those who preside over the destiny of peoples, international officials, politicians, diplomats. ButIam also addressing it to the citizens of each country. All are in fact called by the need to prepare true peace, to maintain it or to re-establish it, on solid and just foundations.
