Pope John Paul stepped up his pressure on Polish martial law authoritarianism by using the word "Solidarity" before a crowd of one million in the Silesia coal region. He did this as authorities made increasingly blunt comments on the pope's presence in Poland.

He defended Solidarity's right to e xist and the right to strike in spite of the martial law crackdown. "Man is not willing to work when he does not see the sense of his work," he said.

Fhe previous stop had been at Poznan where he told the farmers to keep alive their Rural Solidarity organisation. Pope John Paul drew on the late Cardinal Wyzinski's words to state that the right of a worker to join a union of their choice is a privilege "not given to us by the gate." "It is a question of a people's right to free association," said the pope using the strongest tone in his speeches so far. The more than one million Silesians listening to the pope were a critical audience before whom to touch on the subject which is antagonistic to the martial law government because seven Silesian miners were killed by police in the early days of the martial law. Pope John Paul is determinedly using his visit to try and bring social justice and peace to his country saying that Poland can only begin solving the deep divisions between the communist government and society when a true dialogue exists. Taking advantage of one of the four occasions on which he was being allowed nationwide live exposure by the government-controlled television. he clearly aligned himself with the Solidarity reforms as the starting point for reviving Polish political life. *Continued page 16.
Reagan's shock
At the the recent Episcopal Conference held in Sydney, Archbishop Sir Guilford Young of Hobart paid this splendid tribute to Archbishop Goody: "Of that barque of bishops I boarded in '48, I'm sole survivor. So, in a free Englishing of the French saying "Departing is dying a little", many have been my little deaths. The departure of Archbishop Goody is for me a large dying for I have been strongly bonded to him vinculo amicitiae. P aradoxical this, b ecause the parity between us two is on the surface not very apparent. I, therefore, thank Jesus the Christ, the uniquely blest Man of God, for the benison of this man's f riendship, because I believe that resolution of the paradox of our friendship is centred on our s hared love of the splendor of the Totus Chris (us. A rchbishop Goody's going from our Conference makes a great gap. Across a quarter century and more his mind richly furnished by study and his much journeying, not as a tourist but as traveller into history, a mind of far, far more than average educated depth, height and breadth has enriched the thinking of the Conference.
Communion WASHINGTON (NC) — President Reagan received Communion at the Navy Chapel in Washington at a funeral Mass celebrated for Joseph R. Holmes, a long-time Reagan aide who died of cancer.
Leading members of the administration, including White House counsellor Edwin Meese were at the Mass. The president and Nancy Reagan attended the Mass and took Communion before leaving for a four-day weekend at Camp David. In Father McNamara's office, Father (Capt.) Joseph O'Donnell, Navy chaplain and executive assistant to the chief or chaplains,s aid he was not present at the Mass but that non-Catholics such as Reagan are sometimes given Communion.

In the case of a public figure such as the president, "on the spur of the moment the priest might proceed as normally," Father Hotckin said. He added while most Roman Catholic priests "wouldn't want to seem to judge too harshly," and refuse the sacrament, "Orthodox priests are more likely to give a blessing," instead of Communion to a non Orthodox who approach es the altar.

of the United States doesn't mean beans." The only way a prist can deny a person Communion on the spur of the moment is if that person is a public sinner, according to Father O'Donnell. President Reagan "is hardly a public sinner in the eyes of the Church." Father John Hotchkin, director of the bishops' Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious A ffairs, said if approached by non-Catholics priests "are trained not to refuse the sacrament so publicly. You might be misjudging and cause other people to misjudge. . . Normally you give them the benefit of the doubt and proceed."

Permission Father Hotchkin said n on-Catholics may receive permission from a bishop to receive the sacraments of reconciliation, the Eucharist and anointing of the sick under certain conditions. The non-Catholic must have faith in the sacrament that is in agreement with the Catholic faith, should have the proper disposition to receive the sacrament and should have a serious spiritual need for it, Father Hotchkin said. A lso, if the nonCatholic is in a situation where fora period of time his own minister would be unavailable he could receive permission from a bishop to receive Communion, Father Hotchkin said. Usually the funeral of a Catholic friend would not be considered a case of serious spiritual need, he said, but if the nonCatholic had not requested permission in advance from the bishop it's not likely he would be turned away at Mass.

HAVE YOUR SAY
Rehce ord The most obvious aspect of last weekend's RSL congress call for a national referendum on non-European migration is that Australia is still a comparatively lucky country where such observations can be made without more dire consequences. The right of free speech carries the assumption that controversial opinions may be heard provided they are not an inflammatory attack on individuals or groups. Whether the RSL motion is merely an exercise of free speech or a deliberate attempt to stir muddy waters must be a matter of conjecture. Congresses of any organisation can too easily become platforms for views which are not necessarily the views of members. As Australian citizens, RSL members have a right to their opinions about the direction our migration policy ought to take. As RS1. members it is questionable whether the opinions of such Australians deserve more respect or credibility because they are marketed through that organisation. The existence of the League carries a certain amount of national kudos for obvious reasons. The current disquiet over veterans' health issues shows that the rumbles of war do not disappear as quickly as non-combatants would like to believe. •••••••••••••••• It is when the League enters into so-called issues of national concern — quite legitimately in its own view that a distinction between whether these are views of ex-servicemen or of League member is more than a quibble of words. The League may claim that it offers a forum where some of.the deeper issues of Australian life can be debated in an atmosphere away from the major political party machines where compromise takes place for the sake of practical success at the elections. Yet the style of migration that has been followed in the post war decades is a political decision, i.e. made by Australian politicians of whatever colour while in power. It is all very well for people who take for granted the political peace of Australia, compared with violent politics in som many other countries, to fantasise that there are other avenues for national decision making such as in the corridors of money, or privilege, or industrial muscle. If the RSL believes that it has offered some alternative channel for national decisions outside the existing political structures then its reported reasons in the matter of non-Asian migration are shallow and unconvincing, even inflammatory. As far as both major parties can be judged, they have exercised their migration policies through subtle fine-tuning at the departmental level. It has obviously been assiduously avoided as party political issues for gaining votes. This may not suit everyone who has strong views on the European homogeneity they believe this country should exhibit in the face of the great crescent of Asia which can't invite reciprocal white immigration even in the unlikely event that it was even wanted. ••••••••••••• The fallacy of the RSL call is that it has not called on the country to look at the migration question and the political and pragmatic optins that are available. Instead, it has called for a poll which in so many words is supposed to say that the nonEuropean migration we have had so far is a had thing. That is not acceptable and is an insult to the people who are here both from Europe and from other nations and who have shown they are no less determined to make their way here than the less-than-perfect Australian effort of the last two centuries. As free Australians, Catholics — whether R SL members or not — can have their own thoughts on what ought to be the ethnic make-up of this nation. As a Catholic Church, as an expression of the Body of Christ, they will be very much at odds with St Paul's thoughts in last Sunday's readings about unity in Christ if they do not see a new force of migrants in our midst who are a solid segment of Catholic life and who cannot but shape the evangelism and missionary outlook of the country in relation to the real world around us and not the dreamland of exclusively white European exiles living a fantasy of the past. •

Bishop's screed from Bishop C. Muschamp, Anglican bishop retired Sir, Getting right with God is necessary for us a l l, especially in these difficult days. It involves — 1. Believing in God our Heavenly Father. 2 Putting that belief into practise by worshipping every Lord's Day, and praying daily with sincerity. 3 Accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. 4 Loving our neighbour, that is, all people with whom we come into contact; not only relatives and friends, but also our critics and enemies if we have any. 5 Repenting of our sins, and confessing them to God from time to time. The leading churchmen of our principal Christian denominations agree with me in all this, and would like to see it broadly published, in the secular press as well as in r eligious newspapers.

from Philip Pendal M.L.C.
I respect the right of the bishops to e xpress a view on Aboriginal land rights, The Record June 2, but, as a Catholic and a s a legislator, I exercise my right to disagree with their proposals. My personal view is that much of the difficulty today centres on a definition of 'land rights.' I do not quarrel with the bishops' call for 'meaningful self -management for Aboriginal communities' whereby they can 'reestabl ish themselves, develop their culture, regain their dignity and aspire to self-sufficiency.' I cannot, however, endorse a land rights proposal that gives one group only, because of their race or colour„ huge parcels of the state under terms and conditions that do not apply to other people. To grant Aborigines 'inalienable freehold title,' to these areas is, in my view, just another form of apartheid or 'separation'. The UN Charter itself condemns, (in the case of South Africa), 'any measures, including legislative measures, designed to divide the population along racial lines by the c reation of separate reserves for the members of a racial group.' It seems ironic to me we can condemn South Africa for dividing people and land along racial grounds yet, in the same breath, a dvocate 'inalienable' land rights for Aborigines. Under current Western Australian law, an Aborig-

inal Lands Trust controls and manages land for Aboriginal people subject to the Parliament of Western Australia. Some 9% of Western Australia is managed by the trust in this way. On the whole I accept this current system — though with some criticisms about its inadequacies. But a Lands Trust system, which we have in Western Australia, and inalienable freehold title, which is now being advocated, are t wo different things entirely. Simply put, my personal view is land must be available to all people under the same conditions; such matters as royalties from minerals must be imposed by the State, not by individuals or special interest groups; special land set aside for special purposes ( i.e. Aboriginal Lands Trust land, National Parks, etc.) must still be subject to the Parliament. Just as the Director of National Parks controls and manages some land, so too can the Aboriginal Lands Trust control and manage land for Aborigines, — but subject to the Parliament — as with any other land

Debate on WEL continues to raise interest from Brian Peachey, Woodlands
WEL harmful says Peachey
Sir, Ms M. Sassi of the Women's Electoral Lobby (Record June 9) is correct when she says that I am afraid of WEL. What is more I am also afraid of the other organisation of which she is president, the Abortion Law R epeal Association. movement it has done WEL is a dangerous and destructive organisation which is supported and motivated by the Communist Party. Like other sections of the feminist
great harm to the community, the economy and women in particular. I doubt Ms Sassi's claim that some of its members are Catholics. I do not see how a prac-
tising Catholic could support WEL's policies of a bortion on demand; cheap and easier divorce; f ree contraceptives; sexual liberation (promiscuity); free child care; legalisation of homosex-
ual practice; legalisation of marijuana; elimination of sex descrimination and e xplicit and lurid sex education in schools. Each of these policies has contributed to the breakdown of the family,
'No link' with Christ. . . from P. Ford, North Perth Sir M. Sassi's consistently anti-Christian position in her statements in the secular papers puts the lie to the link she attempted to draw between Christ and feminism.
Further, when one finds Christianity unnecessary and unacceptable, going to the trouble of interpreting Christ and His teachings to accommodate one's own opinions and loyalties can only be regarded as an intention, conscious or otherwise, of deceiving those who are Christians. Christians sometimes seem only too willing to allow unbelievers to tell them what the Lord is and is not. Jesus is God; — not a radical, not a feminist, nor a euthanasiast (as claimed recently by a WA Enthanasia Society member!) Movements come and go. We need to look past them to the truths that do not change their colour according to the movement in vogue. What Janet Pine (The Record June 16) calls "all that false instruction," are the truths of God as taught by the Church that we, like Christians before us, know are worth dying for.
The feminist movement has helped correct some very real injustices to women, especially economic ones. But the feminist ideal of the 'sisterhood of women,' united in their rebellious anger, is a very far cry from the Christian ideal of unity of love for God's people in the Body of Christ. A s to other fruits of feminism, one can only conjecture about the disruption of relationships and families that the feminist spirit assists when fighting ignorance, prejudice and puritanism with resentment, anti-male sentiments, licentiousness and a denial of womanhood. The middle road of God's love and His order for our lives is unlikely to be found on a feminist agenda. However, there is no conjecture about the fact feminist organisations such as WEL rest so heavily upon the platform of legalising abortion. Hence they are leading society in establishing a legal sanction for the loveless, pitiless act which typifies so completely our rejection of God the creator of life. It is little wonder most Christians, -- genealogy, composition, pointless boasting of membership by ex -Catholics, and political leanings of WEL aside, — find close identification with this organisation impossible.
the spread of promiscuity and delinquency and the resultant massive expenditure on welfare. One of the saddest r esults of their cam paigns are the thousands of single parent women forced to live almost out of sight of the community in cheap welfare flats in fear, depression and abject poverty.
Radical I do not accept Ms Sassi's statement that Jesus Christ would have been called a feminist or a left wing radical. Feminism is the antithesis of Christ's teaching. Christ did not treat men and women equally. He recognised their differences and understood their different roles. Christ never advocated WEL's policy of the complete elimination of all forms of discrimination on the grounds of sex. Christ would have had a love and concern, as we all should, for the bitter, harsh and soured women who give leadership to the feminist movement. I have yet to meet an active feminist who was not consumed with deep hatred — a hatred always of men and often of the good things of western civilisation.

ROME (NC) — Mother Teresa of Calcutta has been readmitted to Salvator Mundi Hospital in Rome, according to her physician, Dr Giovanni Bilotti. He said Mother Teresa will be in the hospital "a while." Mother Teresa had been released from the hospital on June 3 after a two-day stay for what a hospital source said was a complete medical check-up. According to a Church source, Mother Teresa was suffering from exhaustion due to her extensive travels Visits to projects conducted by her order, the Missionary Sisters of Charity, had taken the 73 -year -old nun from India to Spain and northern Italy during May Following an early morning Mass in Pope John Paul's private chapel at the Vatican on May 31, according to the Church source, the pontiff told Mother Teresa that she looked tired and suggested a medical check-up. Mother Teresa was scheduled to receive the 1983 peace prize of the Cul tural Centre of Taranto in southern Italy on June 5. Instead, two nuns from Mother Teresa's order received the prize on her behalf from Father Angelo Mile, president of the centre. Last year. Cardinal Jozef Glemp, primate of Poland, was the winner.

ATICAN CITY - Pope John XXIII was eard again in St Peter's Square last week at the same time as his current successor John Paul II. Pope John Paul II came to the window of his private apartment shortly after lOpm to join 30,000 people at the close of a two-hour vigil marking the 20th anniversary of the death of Pope John XXIII. The vigil featured the broadcast over loudspeakers of Pope John's October 11, 1 962 talk opening the Second Vatican Council. Pope John Paul, discussing his unscheduled participation in the vigil, said he wanted to "join my voice to yours, which I hear rising in prayer to heaven." He called Pope John "that admirable servant of the Church, so loved and venerated," and spoke briefly about his contributions to the Church. Pope John, born Giuseppe Roncalli, was elected Pope on October 28, 1958, and died June 3, 1963 at the age of 81 . The prayer vigil was sponsored by Italian Catholic Action and led by Cardinal Ugo Poletti, papal vicar for Rome. D OD

VATICAN CITY (NC) — "No effort will be spared," in the quest for Christian unity, Pope John Paul II told Catholics Mar Baselius Thoma Mathews I, first Indian Orthodox leader ever to make an official visit to the Vatican. "The development of history, in its complexity, has led our churches to live separately for long ages, in mutual lack of knowledge and even, at times, in opposition," said Pope John Paul of the Indian Orthodox body, which broke with Rome in the f ifth century. But in recent years, he added, "study and direct contacts have made it possible to see anew a reality which the dust of time had almost buried and which dimmed eyes could no longer see." Catholicos Mathews praised the "historic," meeting with the pope and mourned the "accidents of history,- which had divided the two churches. "What we hold in common is immensely greater than that which divides us," he said. "It is out task now to repent and to recreate history more in accordance with the will of the Lord."
ituthority barrier to union
It should have explained the kind of teaching authority and jurisdiction of the Lambeth Conference and the relationship between political and ecclesiastical authority in the Anglican Church. he added.
Assembly Fhe Lambeth Conference is the assembly of all the bishops of the Anglican Communion which meets every 10 years. Cardinal Ratzinger said the English Parliament ruled in 1640 that convocation, the assembly of elected representatives of the Church of England's clergy, had no power to legislate for the church without the consent of Parliament. In 1927, he said. Parliament rejected the proposed revised Book of Common Prayer. At the same time, the cardinal said, the spread of the Anglican community to other countries had automatically led to modifications of the original pattern "so that history itself has helped to rectify history." A first reading of the final report might convey the impression that nothign but the Vatican I teaching about papal primacy and the more recent Marian dogmas stood in the way of complete agreement, the cardinal said. The cardinal emphasised the need for the priority of a universal church over particular churches and the essential irreformability of the universal church's divine teachings. "Keeping in view the faith testified to in the New Testament itself and the life of the early Church, we must hold fast to the conviction there can be no second sifting through of what the universal church teaches as universal church," he wrote. "One can read greater depth into a pronouncement of the universal church; one can improve on it linguistically; one can develop it further by focusing on the centre of the faith and on new perspectives opening up a way forward, but one cannot 'discuss' it in the ordinary sense of the word," he added.
S ACRAMENTO: Public schools have become the "established schools" of the United States, "enjoying a protected a privileged status," according to Bishop Francis A. Quinn of Sacramento, Calif in a pastoral letter urging a fair tax credit programme for non-government schools. Bishop Quinn said students in non-public schools have "been subjected to second c lass and non-privileged status under the 'established' school." Bishop Guilfoyle of Camden, N.J., also c alled for support of a tuition tax credit bill, saying parents of children in a Catholic school "bear a double burden — they pay taxes for public schools and tuition for Catholic schools — since they have chosen to exercise their educational rights to provide a God-centred education for their
LONDON (NC) — The authority issue is a "fundamental problem," in dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion, said Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in an article on the final report of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission. Writing in his personal capacity as a theologian the cardinal suggested "too little attention has been paid to the actual functioning of authority," in the Anglican Communion. The Anglican-Catholic final report "left one completely in the dark as to the concrete structue of authority in the Anglican community," the cardinal said.

Pope's appeal in the Vatican V ATICAN CITY (NC) Pope John Paul II has appealed to priests, religious and laymen to consider missionary work in the landlocked African country of Chad. The pontiff's call came during a private audience at the Vatican with the f our bishops of Chad.
Aid to Chad A fter first congratulating the bishops on their
zeal in facing problems in Chad, the pontiff said, "What can the pope do to help you?"
Answering his own question, the pope said, "I can use this meeting to launch an appeal which I hope will have resonance a nd wi l l be widely understood."

City Beach parishoner gets to the meat of problems
Kimberley veteran has strong inion on rights
Bernard William Farrell, retired meatworks owner and pastoralist and member of the Holy Spirit parish at City Beach,was born at Parramatta in NSW on July 22, 1917. He was educated at CBC Ipswich in Queensland and CBC Terrace in Perth. The family moved to WA when his father, James Joseph, was appointed general manager of the Wyndham meatworks. On leaving school Bernie started a meat export business, Farrell Bros, with his brother Dermot in 1935 and in 1938 they built the Broome meatworks after having bought two stations, Ejudine (now La Grange mission) and Thangu, in 1936. Bernie joined the RAAF as air crew in 1941, flew as a navigator with the United States Army Air Force from Port Moresby, Charters Towers and Darwin, was an original officer of the first Australian squadron to be converted to Liberator bombers — No 24 — and completed his service as a navigation instructor flight-lieutenant with the RAAF at Tocumwal in NSW.
Bernie Farrell is a man of opinions, given to expressing them forthrightly and s trong
with the stamp of experience. His years in the Kimberleys, for instance, have left him with the belief that granting land rights to Aborigines is no way of solving their problems. He quotes the case of Leopold Downs station in the Kimberleys which he and his brother once owned. It is a million -acre property," he says, "well watered and with fairly f ertile soil. "However, if it were held by no more under land rights in perpetuity it would involve no more than 100 Aborigines who would have no intention of developing it and in the future it could well revert to what it was hundreds of years ago. "We must recognise the Aboriginal is not enamoured of our lifestyle and not imbued with the white man's work ethic. "Nature fitted him to be a nomad and a hunter who, for thousands of years, had plenty of fish and game to live on.

something of a Kimberley legend. It was in this ambience Bernie and brother Dermot started the meat exporting firm of Farrell Bros in 1935. The company represented the American giant Swift and Co in WA, but its main market was Britain.
In one year it exported 1 20,000 lamb carcases, and that was only part of the WA total, but now the export stream has slowed to a trickle. Farrell Bros had bought Ejudine and Thangu stations in 1936, but because they were getting little money for their cattle they built the Broome meat works in 1938. The works expanded during the war because it provided the only means f or Kimberley cattlemen to have their meat slaughtered, the Wyndham meat works having been closed down because of the Japanese threat.

Bishops fail to stop hanging PRETORIA South Africa's Catholic bishops were among those who made a last minute appeal for a reprieve for three black guerillas hanged last Thursday. -When there is a denial of human rights and one makes the rules and the other must conform or suffer the consequences, it is sad to see young men going to the gallows for actions that though in themselves reprehensible flow from circumstances induced by frustration, humiliation and desparation," said a statement issued by the Southern African Catholic Bishops' conference. "I earnestly plead with the State Presidency to grant a reprieve to Simon Mogerane, Jerry Mosololl and Marcus Motaung, said the statement signed by Archbishop Denis Hurley of Durban, conference president. A last minute reprieve appeal was also issued by the Catholic clergy of Durban "on the grounds that execution is inseparable from political context and will exacerbate feelings, intensify conflict and further reduce hope for reconciliation.The three men, members o f the i llegal African National Congress, were sentenced to death after being convicted in August 1982 of high treason and murder, The government said t hey participated in attacks on police stations in which four black policemen died. O ther reprieve pleas came from the US State Department, 53 US senators and representatives, the United Nations and several western european nations. In Washington, the State Department said further deaths would not solve the region's problems. Previously, the South African government had commuted the death sentences of three other African National Congress Members. But the government said t he executions were necessary to protect "internal security." The three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were executed at dawn at the pretoria central prison, said Coenie De Swart, spokesman for the department of prisons.

Pilgrims gather for pope W ARSAW: Pope John Paul, addressing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims at Poland's most sacred Catholic shrine, declared the c ountry "has the r ight to live in freedom." "This is one of the fundamental rights in the moral order," he said at the Jasna m onastery during ceremonies to mark

PHILIPPINES: The Church and civic, business and women's organisations, rallied by Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila, are "mobilising' ' to form a national council for Filipino reconciliation. Cardinal Sin, head o f the Cathol ic Church in the Philippines, called for the establishment of the council in a speech to the general assembly o f the Bishops Businessmen's Conference for Human Development. He suggested representatives from the Government, the Opposition, the Church and the private sector join to form the council. Cardinal Sin's Press secretary, Mr Felix Bautista, told me there had been no response from the G overnment, but the council would go ahead.
Mr Bautista said the Church and other groups were "mobilising support in the media in the hope that President Marcos would bow to public opinion and support the c ouncil." The next move was up to the President. Mr Bautista said the council would represent many Catholic organisations, including the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Women's League and the Catholic Lawyers' Guild. O ther organisations, including The Concerned Women of the Philippines and the influential busi-

ness groups, would be represented. The council would look at a wide variety of problems, including labour and human rights issues. In his speech, Cardinal Sin said: "Reconciliation, however, will remain only an ideal, a consummation devoutly to be wished, unless a determined and concerted effort to achieve it is launched by all the parties who must 'conspire,' who must breathe together towards unanimity in thought and action. Addressing the Filipino Prime Minister, Mr Cesar Virata, Cardinal Sin said:
"But because you and I are both human, there is the possibility that in our presentation of what we believe is a formula for national unity, we may have been concerned primarily with our own side of the question, without paying adequate attention to the other side." Cardinal Sin went on: "Because this council will be made up of people of u nquestioned integrity, it would enjoy a high degree of credibility. -The council will invite suggestions from the peo-
pie on a broad range of subjects. "It will then discuss these and drawing from its manifold resources and expertise, refine them or discard them, as the case may be. And then, after it has arrived at a consensus, the council can present this to the President for implementation." Cardinal Sin, after an e xplanation of Catholic social doctrine, told representative Filipino political
and business leaders that there were no problems between the State and the Church but -the national problem is between the State and the people. ' " "If the human rights of the people are violated by the State, then ipso facto the Church present in the people becomes involved." Reviewing the Filipino situation, Cardinal Sin said "with the same objectivity and humility before reality, one cannot firmly
conclude that we now have before us a political order that has reached its destined maturation. "The social and political revolution that emanated from the centre has not reached the marginalised groups of our societies.Cardinal Sin added: "Not so long ago, the State invited the Church to participate in its socio economic programmes for the people. "Can Holy Mother the Church enthusiastically enter into such a collaboration knowing all the while that in the gaols and detention centres of the S tate some of her anointed and consecrated c hi ldren are ignobly denied their freedom?"

The Spirit of God was manifested in a variety of ways in the lives of the early Christians. Luke devotes much attention to the Spirit. For him. the Spirit is given in response to prayer. Not that our prayers win the Spirit; rather, they open Our hearts to receive God's free gift of the Spirit. When Jesus is baptised the Spirit comes upon Him vvhile He is at prayer. .4 t Pentecost the Spirit comes upon the community while it is gatheredfor prayer in the Upper Room. For Luke, the Holy Spirit is the supreme gift of the Father, his answer to all our prayers. There is a further consideration. bike's community comprised afair number of affluent converts. They had all the good things money could buy. But all the money in the world could not buy the Holy Spirit, source of all those blessings for which the human heart yearns. The people could earn or merit the Spirit in any cay. Only the Father could give of the Spirit, and only earnest
Prayer and spirit prayer could dispose them to receive it. A dramatic instance of the relationship of prayer and the Spirit is the incident following the release of Peter and John after their trial before the SanhedriPz. When they rejoined the community, "all raised their voices in prayer to God on hearing the story."
And here Luke gives
By Father John Castelot us a beautiful example of early Christian prayer. (Acts 4:24-30.) It ends as follows: "But now, 0 Lord, look at the threats they are levelling against us. Grant to your servants, even as they speak your words, complete assurance." The answer to the prayer is an immediate manifestation of the presence and power of the Spirit: "The place where they were gathered shook as they prayed. They were
filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's word with corifidence." That is known as the "little Pentecost." Like the first Pentecost, the little Pentecost involved empowering of the communityfor its mission. Very short/j• we read, "With power, the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great respect was paid to them all." (4:33) Luke consistently makes this connection between the Spirit and the community's mission. Unlike Paul, he is not imnzediately concerned with the effects of the Spirit on the individual Christian or even in the life of the community. His interest is centred in its outward thrust. When Peter converts the household of the gentile named Cornelius — a breakthrough in the Church's outreach to the non-Jewish world — the Spirit ratifies his action: "Peter had not finished these words when the Holy Spirit descended upon all who were listening to Peter's message."

Resolving the grief of abortion, or of surrendering a child for adoption, can be helped by social workers and counsellors, says Mrs Joan Pincus, senior social worker at Brisbane Pregnancy Help. Mrs Pincus was deliver ing a paper entitled Grief in adoption and a bortion to the national conference in Hobart of Pro-Life P regnancy Support Service Centres of Australia. Grief was an overwhelming experience but it need not be devastating, Mrs Pincus said. She concentrated on the grief associated with adoption and abortion, "two areas that vitally concern us in our work at Pregnancy Help. 'Hopefully, the decision to relinquish a child f or adoption will be a well thought out and informed decision, and hence the grief that will accompany the adoption can be thought about in a theoretical or academic way beforehand, which will give the woman some indication of the types of f eelings she is likely to h ave afterwards, ' Mrs Pincus said. ' Abortion is a much more difficult and sensitive area because the decision to have an abortion is usually a hurried and secretive one which takes into account the present situation, rather than future implications. Hence anticipation of grief is rare. 'When a mother places her baby for adoption, there is always grief associated with the separation and loss." Mrs Pincus illustrated grief reactions of some of the 117 w omen who had children adopted out and whom Pregnancy Help had assisted since 1976.
V1N„,,,trft "N' UO 'Because of the uniqueness of each individual, general statements can't be made about reasons why a woman would place a baby for adoption, but many factors will enter into the decision, including her personality, interpersonal relationships, family support and many subconscious motivations. 'Similarly, many factors enter into the grief reaction of each individual," Mrs Pincus said. "I am convinced that it is vitally important for a girl who has decided on adoption to make quite definite plans about her future.
Counselling can help the grieving "I believe that long before the year 2000 we shall reach a point where we can no longer provide extra f inances or more personnel to help the e ver-increasing number of women needing the special help which is available.

from our Brisbane office f ind that most young girls need fairly intensive post -adoption counselling they need time to talk about their feelings time to shed tears they need to share their fears about what the adoptive parents might be like, and little things like ' I wonder if they kept the name I gave my baby'," Mrs Pincus said.
INIVI4EV`" "The family of the girl also needs counselling help because they must be helped to understand that the girl needs her time of grieving - needs to be understood and supported in her decision. " As Pregnancy Help counsellors, what we aim for with our clients who choose adoption is that they don't have regrets later, because if they do, then grief will remain unresolved. "We would hope that the woman is able to say w ith the passing years, 'I made the best possible decision I could at the time for my baby and for myself'. "Grief following abortion is much more subtle and complex and is rarely anticipated. "The fear, panic, secrecy and time factor that usually surround an a bortion decision rarely leaves time for any thoughts about the sense of loss a woman may feel following an abortion," Mrs Pincus said. "Considering the number of abortions done throughout the world today, there is an amazing lack of literature on the aftereffects. "Rarely a week -- or for that matter a day goes by at Pregnancy Help in Brisbane that we don't have someone telling us about

their emotional state f ollowing abortion," Mrs Pincus said. Dr Monica Allen, of Brisbane Pregnancy Help, told the conference the number of pregnant women attending pregnancy support centres in Australia was increasing every year. She said that, in her own Pregnancy Help centre in Brisbane, an e xtra social worker had been added to staff and additional accommodation leased for counselling, training and childminding.

" The winners of the sexual revolution," Dr Allen said, "on the whole have not been women but those who have benefited financially from it. "A whole new medical industry has emerged a nd those in it, w hether they run abortion or fertility c ontrol clinics or manufacture contraceptives or gynaecological preparations, have done well for themselves. "The losers of the sexual revolution are those thousands of unborn Australians who had they been conceived prior to the sexual revolution, probably would be alive today."
In-vitro scientists BRISBANE: One of the great challenges of our time was the alarming gap between science and the humanities, epitomised by the in-vitro fertilisation programme, Sir Theodor Bray told the Australian Religious Press Association (APRA) Awards dinner. In his keynote address, Sir Theodor raised this alarm as well as offering a note of reassurance to an a udience which included Brisbane Church leaders. He found reassurance in what ARPA epitomised, growth of ecumenism — " 'the most important development in Brisbane in 50 years." Sir Theodor, who was editor of The Courier Mail for 26 years, and is former joint managing -director of Queensland Newspapers, is Chancellor of Griffith University. He has also made a major contribution to the development of the arts in Queensland. Sir Theodor said in the invitro experiments he perceived a lack of concern by scientists for any of the moral, ethical or legal problems involved.
._vArt It was one of the great challenges of our time to bridge the gap between scientific experimentation and morality. "I wonder if these scientists know what they are doing, and why," he said. "These are questions to be asked constantly of the scientists by the community which supports their work." There were some scient-
Gap between science and humanities ists who had appreciated t he dangers and had sounded warnings. A Belgian Nobel laureate had warned Australian scientists: -Don't play a round with human beings." But Sir Theodor said he did not think this warning had got very far in the scientific community. Some scientists were almost out of control of the public who supported them. "Some of the things they are doing are truly horrifying," he said. "I see some of them reported in the r el igious Press, The Leader and Life and Times (Uniting Church), which I get in my home. "We can thank God for the Premier of Victoria, Mr John Cain, who has imposed a moratorium on in-vitro experimentation,
except as it relates to infertile couples, until the moral and legal aspects have been studied. "John Cain has taken a great stand on this issue." Church leaders, too, were speaking out and some scientists were questioning their colleagues. They must go on doing so. " You hear scientists boasting about human cloning," he said. "Just consider the possibilities. This week they could decide to create a small batch of Hitlers, and next week a batch of slaves to serve them. "Imagine the possibilities from experiments gone wrong. "I am not exaggerating. Scientists boast they can do these things. The attitude of scientists toward their experimental

Born in Connecticut, United States in 1945, she was number four of the five children of a Dutchborn agronomist and his English-born wife.

"I always knew I would be an artist," she said. She did a lot of drawing a s a child and was obviously influenced by her mother who hd worked as a commercial artist before her marriage and who was a talented "life drawer" in her own right. "I recently had one of mum's drawings framed for her and she was really delighted," said a proud daughter. But there was more than
one strain of family talent — her paternal grandfather, a trained doctor, was a man with an intense interest in art. "My father had some wonderful things that were bartered for his f ather's medical services," she said. M adeleine went to Sacred Heart School, Mundaring, where her own two children are now taught, and then went on to study at Perth Technical C ol lege where she obtained an associateship in Fine Art and a diploma in Graphic Design. Her tutors included George Haynes (an artist she much admires), Ian Wroth and Hugh Childs. In the year she completed her studies she opted for a 1 2 month stint as a lay missionary at La Grange Mission south of Broome. She had been brought up as a devoted Catholic but had not thought of missionary work until then. It was a wonderful chance to paint, although that was something that had to be fitted in where and when she could. "We all got up early to

'Don't meddle with life..? work resulted from the gap between their knowledge of their scientific specialities and of the humanities. -The universities are partly to blame," Sir Theodor said. "They are turning out intellectual cripples, people too narrowly trained." At Griffith University an effort was being made to inter -relate the sciences and the humanities. The university would try to turn out science graduates who were inquiring men and women with an u nderstanding of the humanities.
Sir Theodor also said scientists were being begged to report their work in language the layman could understand. This gap between scientific language and the language of the man-in-the street was one the Press, secular and religious, had to recognise. "However. I know reporting science can be the most difficult of all," he said. "I do beg the Press, religious and secular, to take
Invitation withdrawn K ANSAS CITY, Kan. (NC) — Archbishop Ignatius Strecker said he withdrew an invitation for a Kansas Congressman to speak at a high school graduation because, "In no instance do we want any archdiocesan institution to even appear to be making a podium available for political purposes." The week before, Congressmen Slattery was to speak, bu the archbishop asked the principal to cancel the talk. The congressman had voted for legislation providing federal funds for limited fetal research; the US Catholic Conference has supported another measure on the issue. A Catholic, Slattery was reported to have said cancellation of his appearance was due to pressure from pro-life groups. In his letter, Archbishop Strecker did not bring up the fetal experimentation issue nor did he mention Slattery by name. "My position is political persons, in our American system of politics, should not be invited to give commencement addresses or be the principal speaker on similar Catholic occasions because of the obvious political overtones," said the archbishop. "There are times when the Church much maintain its complete independence of government," he said.

Write to P.O. Box 194, North Perth. 6006 A letter came this week in response to the comments I made about the 'hookers ball' from a Young Christian Worker. Unfortunately it could not be printed because the writer did not give their name. address and telephone number. I'm surprised that often oung people ha% e something to say but perhaps not the courage of their corn ictions to own up to their opinions. It's either a false modesty or fear of criticism from peers. Even if a letter, for obvious reasons, must be anonymous I am adv ised by the editor of the Record, that name and address must alw ays be supplied. This is for legal reasons in regard to publications. The Record cannot be held accountable for opinions of individuals.

‘1 tide most of our a ttention is often turned to the life and joys of young people. I w onder how parents feel? I wonder if there are some parents who instead feel helpless to deal with their teenage children's behav iour, feel victimised by their own children, betray ed, disappointed in themselves and perhaps guilty about not being 'good enough parents.' Are there parents who have lost control of their lives and who are confused about what's happening in their family; feel sad, betray ed by the school, by the police and by everyone else? Unfortunately people who feel this way will often hide the crisis they are in and also fail to realise that there are dozens of families in their own neighbourhood, in their own street, in their own parish who are in just the same predicament. Parents like them who feel sad, angry, guilty and helpless. I believe that the situation can change. One of

Art and faith can combine •From page 11 It was a great success with the move soon made to screen printing on tablecloths, mats, curtains, and dress lengths. A highlight was printing the fabric for the vestments to be worn at the m emorable Aboriginal language Mass held in Melbourne at the 1973 Eucharistic Congress. With thoughts turning towards the education of their children, the Clears decided to return to Perth. "It was very hard work on Bathurst and a very hard climate," said Madeleine. "It seemed time to come home." Tim now works as an ambulance officer and Madeleine has been a part-time teacher at Forrestfield Technical College f or the past nine years. She has exhibited a number of times over the years but has really only been able to devote herself to painting in the last few. Shortly after their return, the Clears had become involved in Marriage Encounter and spent three years with the movement. "During which time I

didn't get much chance to paint," said Madeleine. In 1966 she exhibited in the Perth Prize; 1981 at G reenhill Galleries; in 1 981 she won the Gosnells Prize for Painting; in 1982 she took part in the Hills" Artists Exhibition; in 1 982 she won the Aquisitive Award at Shire of Kalamunda Art Purchase Exhibition; in 1982 she took part in the Fremantle Art Gallery's "Thirty West Australian Painters" and in 1982 she won the Floreat Forum Art Award. Her earliest success was in 1961 when as a pupil at Sacred Heart School, Mundaring, doing her secondary studies by corresondence, she won an open competition to design the coat of arms for the shire. One of her woollen wall hangings decorates her local church and she is just beginning a diptych for the school on the theme of Genesis. While she probably never does as much work as she would like, she does get to her studio as often as possible. It's a converted chook shed across the creek from the house, she grins. Yes, it would be more convenient to have it closer to the house but maybe that will come later. "I only paint during the day but I often go out drawing and take the children with me," she said.

anything else Everywhere I go I am aware of the challenges." While husband Tim doesn't paint at all he is a keen critic of her work. "So are the children," she adds. "It's good to h ave their comments because you can become too involved in what you are doing." Generally, husband Tim gives the thumbs up to her work. He was however decidedly negative about a self portrait which was exhibited at her last show. "He didn't like it and didn't want it to come home but luckily it sold," she laughed. She works in a variety of ways — oils, pastels, watercolour, charcoal — and says the subject determines the medium.
S he enjoys charcoal drawing and says it is p robably the most relaxing. There are 31 works exhibited in this showing with prices hovering around the $400 but ranging between $128 and $550. Despite the price tags which may be beyond the reach of many, painting is not a lucrative profession for most artists, she says. By the time all her works are framed and invitations printed the cost of an exhibition will have run into the thousands. At her last showing she sold eight of the 15 works on display ... it was a good effort. This time she's hoping to cover costs as well. While she realises many people buy a painting purely for decoration, she likes to think that they will see something meaningful in what she has done.

". . .I do not stop hoping t he social reform, announced on many occasions, according to the principles so painstakingly worked out in the critical days of August 1980, and contained in the agreements, will gradually be put into effect." "It is like a state of war" when human rights are not protected and democratic participation in civil life is not allowed in a country, the pope said. The pope declared a moral victory founded on human rights is the only basis for Polish national unity. "That point must be reached by way of mutual dialogue and agreement, which is the only viable way for the nation to achieve the fullness of civic rights and the social structures which correspond to its just requirements and are capable of fostering the consensus needed by the State if it is to fulfill its role,- he said. At the national shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, the pope firmly defended the Church's involvement in socio-political questions involving human rights and other moral issues. This is a matter of carrying out "the social doctrine of the Church." he said. "The social doctrine of the Church and the true aspirations of workers do not pass alongside each other, but truly meet, the Christian doctrine of work postulates both the solidarity of the workers among themselves and the need for honest solidarity with workers." The pope declared that "the experiences of the recent year" brought pilgrims to Czestochowa" with a wound in your heart and with sorrow, perhaps even with anger." He referred to the rise of Solidarity as "that testimony which amazed the whole world, when the Polish worker stood up for himself with the Gospel in his hand and a prayer on his lips."

What is your child doing when she or he sits in front of the television set? Did you know that your child is not engaged in passive viewing, but t hat something very active is going on during that viewing? The latest studies show that children perceive television in a way that is quite different from that of adults. V ery small children don't link up characters, don't follow a programme sequentially, confuse fantasy and reality. Older children view television for any number of reasons. Two significant ones come to mind: to learn about the age group immediately ahead of them; and to use as "coinof-exchange" --- to talk about with the other kids. Another thing about TV is the amount of time spent in front of the box — in toto, more time than on any other waking activity.
Also, what is your child learning about the family, c aring and kindness, honesty, respect for life, speeding in cars, the law, the Church, or unselfish love from television? Two other questions loom up here. They are: what do children think about "children's" programmes? and how well does television educate? These and other questions about children and t elevision will be addressed in the course Religious Education and Media (REE 422) conducted by Sister Helen Giles for 15 weeks beginning July 28 at the Nedlands Campus of the WA College of Advanced Education. Cost of materials used is $15. The course is an elective for the Graduate Diploma of Religious Education offered by the Catholic Pastoral Institute. If you are interested, get in touch with the Course C o-ordinator, Sister Norma Clare McKay, CPI, 52 Ruislip Street, Leederville 6007. Phone 381 5100.
