Vigilance on genetic engineering
JOHN PAUL II DEFENDS DIGNITY
Halls open to all
Pope John Paul defended the dignity of human life and called for its protection from the first moment of conception in addresses to Australian bishops and workers in one of Rome's largest hospitals.
The Australian bishops were among a large group of 20 cardinals and numerous Vatican officials present at the Mass celebrated by the pope for Cardinal Knox before his remains were flown to Melbourne for burial. The pope said Cardinal Knox's years as Archbishop of Melbourne were marked by "great dedication to the problems of the suffering and the poor."
Speaking to a group of Australian bishops which included Bishop William Foley of Gerald ton, the pope praised them for "their concerted efforts to proclaim the dignity of life and to expose the evil of abortion. Obviously aware of the advanced in-vitro fertilisation programmes occurring in Melbourne and other Australian cities, the pope called on the Australian bishops making their formal five year visit to Rome for their constant vigilance on the problems associated with genetic engineering, and on the question of care of the aged and respect for life. The pope also complimented the Australian bishops for the "great efforts being made to help the many famic are personnel who lies suffering from refused to participate in t he present grave abortions. problem of unemHe declared believers ployment." and non-believers alike

Quoring from Pope John XXIII, the pope told the bishops the greatest concern of bishops in the postconciliar Church should be "the sacred deposit of Christian doctrine should be more effectively guarded and taught." Repeating his theme of
respect for life last Sunday, Pope John Paul told
workers at the 2,000 bed San Camillo Hospital "defending and celebrating life from its first conception" was a priority. The pope praised health
have the responsibility to believe in life and defend it. "Wherever there are victims of the fragility of the human condition, of calamities, of misfortunes, of every form of violence, . the primar commandment of those responsible for health and those who work in the health field is that of defending and celebrating life from its first conception and not allowing it to be betrayed or broken off," the pope said.
Mission expands Apostleship Of The Sea Sunday means a lot to Fremantle port chaplain Father Sean O'Shea who is anxiously awaiting the completion of additions to his Stella Mans Seafarers' Centre This second major addition in the building's 40 year history as a centre will add significantly to the recreation and cater-
ing facilities that are badly needed at peak times. At other times Father O'Shea intends to start a reverse mission to the Catholic community and the halls and catering sections will be open to any Catholic parish or group that wants to hold functions in the Fremantle centre. "People who have come down here to Fremantle have said that
the experience has been an eye-opener to them. "It has given them a chance to know what seafarers are really like below the surface. "It has been a meeting between the seafarers and the local Catholic community. "That's real Christian hospitality in a truly happy setting," he says.

LONDON' A holiday in her native country has led to a Buddhist woman who has lived in England for 18 years becoming a Catholic Mrs Nancy Gorman, who was born in Malaysia, married her husband Fred, who is Anglican, when he was in the British army. When they visited Malaysia last year she could not bring herself to enter a Buddhist temple. She said "On our return I decided to attend a few Christian churches, but only found the warmth of love and true spirituality in the Catholic Church. -The atmosphere there made me very close to God." Mrs Gorman was baptised by Father John Gott at St Thomas of Canterbury church, Hebden Bridge, West Yorks.

PARIS — A French public poll says Pope John Paul plays a more important role in world affairs than President Reagan and Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov. Of those asked to name the most influential world leaders, 4.0 per cent said the pope was most important, President Reagan r eceived a 34 percent rating, and Mr Andropov received 8 percent. The rest of those polled expressed no opinion. Of the 980 persons questioned, 59 percent said they regarded the pope as a religious and spiritual leader, while 27 percent viewed him as a political figure. The French Institute of Public Opinion conducted the poll for a French television channel and a television magazine.
lion, but fidelity to the Church, would win." Archbishop Lefebvre said he had written to Pope John Paul six weeks ago to complain the pope had not yet met with him. The pope meets with "Lutherans, (Palestine Liberation Organisation head Yasser) Arafat, the Masons of the Trilateral Commission, everybody except the true Catholics," he added.
The Reverend John Cranmer was inducted as the new minister in the Bridge Road parish of the Uniting Church last month. The parish covers the suburbs of Para Hills, Ingle Farm and Pooraka. Because of the special ecumenical relationship that exists in the Para Hills area, the Uniting Church held the induction service in Holy Trinity Catholic Church. This is probably the first time that a UCA induction has taken place in a Catholic church. Father Terry Wall. the parish priest at Holy Trinity, was happy for his c hurch to be used because of the active and continuing ecumenical relationship between his church and Para Hills Uniting. The Churches have already worked together on many activities in the area, including a doorknocking, a drop-in centre, witnesses in the Ingle Farm shopping mall, and Lenten study programmes The induction was c onducted by the Reverend Nairn Kerr who is chairman of the Adelaide North-West presbytery of the Uniting Church and the sermon preached by Reverend Peter Whittington. His topic was "Ministry today."

Laity included Plaque in priests' unveiled at Uni big seminar A special session for interested laity is included in this week's seminar on "Care of the Sick and Dying" that will be attended by all priests of the archdiocese. The session for laity interested in the latest pastoral ideas in this field will be given at the Catholic Pastoral Institute lecture theatre, 52 Ruislip Street at 7.30pm on Tuesday, July 12. Two Eastern States priests, Fathers Reginald Keating SM and Tom Isaac who have had many years experience in hospital chaplaincy will be conducting the sessions both for the priests and the laity. "The pastoral care of the sick and dying" is an important topic, dealing as it does with a situation touching the lives of each one of us at some time," said Royal Perth Hospital chaplain Father John Ryan who has helped plan the priests' course. "The new ritual pastoral Care of the Sick emphasises the Sacrament of the Sick is for anyone who is reasonably ill and not necessarily in immediate danger of death and for anyone who has an illness that could best be described as chronic, such as asthma or diabetes. It is also recommended for those who are to undergo surgery.
S EEK WISDOM
Monsignor J. T. McMahon has presented a thanksgiving memorial to the campus of the University of WA to commemorate the choice in 1912 of the University's motto "Seek Wisdom."
The monument is a trapezoidal column situated between the Library and the Mathematics and Physical Sciences Library A rtist Geoffrey Al/en was commissioned to make a bronze dove
which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, the giver of Wisdom. The stars of the Southern Cross on the monument recall Australia was once called the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit.
Appeal for Africa Across Northern Africa, 1.5 million people are threatedned with starvation after two years of drought. In response to this growing human tragedy, 14 of Australia's major overseas aid agencies have launched the IDEC African Famine Appeal, The International Disaster Emergencies Committee (IDEC) is made up of leading aid organisations. They include Red Cross, Australian Relief, Australian Council of Catholic Churches, Baptist World Relief, Community
Air Abroad and Save the Children Fund. IDEC says the situation in Africa is desperate. Millions of people are in urgent need of food, water and shelter. Secretary of IDEC, Mr Russell Rollason, said the appeal, launched on June 27, will run for six weeks. "Over the past few decades there have been many drought and famine crises in Africa." "But this threatens to be the worst ever," he said.
"The rite is available for those who have a diagnosed mental illness and this is a new category for this sacrament. "This is in response to the Epistle of St James. 'Are there any who are sick among you? Let them send for the priests of the Church, and let the priests pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick persons, and the Lord will raise them up. And if they have any sins, their sins will be forgiven them.' "Priests will be looking at the Church's understanding of its mission to those who are in some way sick. "That whenever they visit the sick and their relatives and friends they go in the name of the whole Church and in the name of Jesus. "Jesus said to blind Bartemeaus 'what can I do for you?' "He was caring not only and simply for the affliction a person might have, but caring for the whole person. "It is a concern in the name of Christ and the Church for a person's worries about himself and his family and friends. "They are often greatly distressed by the situation and what lies ahead for the sick person and for themselves as a consequence of the illness.
Computers and the Church S YDNEY: The Catholic Church is to launch a national wide ranging inquiry into the implications of computer technology for the Church and Australian society. The inquiry will deal with the technical and ethical issues associated with computerisation. The decision to undertake the inquiry was made known to the meeting of the New South Wales Association of Catholic Social Communications Directors meeting at Lismore from June 21-22. The inquiry will enlist the aid of consultants from the computer industry and will examine the use of computers by the Catholic Church in its administration and education system. For further information contact Father Kevin Burton (02)439 8499.

APOLOGY In the issue of The Record, June 2 1983, on pages 16 and 12, an article was printed under the heading "John Paul II — 'are Poles apart'." The article failed to include the notice that it was reprinted from The Catholic Weekly Sydney issue April 6 1983, under the heading "That Pole' — John Paul II: reflections." The article also failed to note that the author was Father W Dunphy, CSsR, Redemptorist Fathers, 2 Pennant Hills, NSW 2120.

from Father MICHAEL MORRISSEY, South Hedland Sir, Priests present at the June meeting of the Northern Zone of priests expressed their objection to the unfortunate choice o f words "shunting priests. . as though they were peices on some enor m ous ecclesiastical chessboard," in an article on Father Luke Fay's book (The Record, June 9). The priests felt the words presented a situation over which they had no say or control. On the contrary, they have volunteered for work in the diocese and are happy to work in the remote areas. T hey are consulted before appointments by the bishop. The priests are working in the diocese with the support and blessing of their superiors. What the Northern Zone would simply say is this, we are happy with our lot, with the people we work with and the diocese we work in.

A heroic attempt
Organis ing OBSCURED VISION own trade union
graphy obscures our vision, and causes complaints. As shown often in the Gospels, if we talk and complain too much, in the manner of all human beings, we fail to recognise that power and the light of Jesus here with us, and we fail to hear the voice of Yahweh our God. His urgent call is over all the earth. 'COME BACK TO ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART, FASTING, WEEPING, MOURNING. TURN TO YAHWEH YOUR GOD A GAIN. SOUND THE TRUMPET IN ZION! IAM GOING TO G ATHER ALL THE NATIONS. ' (JOEL ch. 2) Maybe we are too busy looking to ourselves to hear God's voice. Instead the good news and the bad news is often decided on statistics of those currently 'in' or 'out' of religion. (As in recent survey on the studies of the sociology of Australian religion.) The good news is that God loves us. The bad news is in saying we can manage our own lives without God.
Sir, In the light of the heroic attempt by the people of Poland to organise their own trade union "Solidarity" and the visit to his Homeland of the Holy Father, letters we have received from members of "Solidarity" convey to the people of Western Australia the valiant attempt by Polish working people for some semblance of social justice and to give witness to Christ.

Unions In September/October 1982 the Shops Distributive Association (Shop Assistants' Union) and the Federated Clerks' Union brought to Australia Mr Jerzy Milewski, Director of S olidarity's Brussels office, and Miss Magda Wojick, Lech Walesa's former personal secretary. As many union members and others expressed a desire to help the Solidarity members in a practical way with food and toilet supplies so difficult to obtain in Poland, a collection for that purpose was c ommenced and Mr Wilewski sent from Brus-
sels the names of 50 bonafide Solidarity members and their families in greatest need. The parcels were despatched from Perth on December 24, 1982 and apparently commenced arriving in Poland in late March 1983. I have found the expressions within the correspondence to be extremely moving if not heart rending and surely must indicate to all of us that the Faith flourishes under extreme oppression and privation and that we all need to be far less parochial in our outlook and seek practical ways of assisting our oppressed brothers and sisters in other lands.

In one of the poorest areas of India, Australian and New Zealand Jesuits work under great difficulties to help rescue very deprived families from perpetual poverty. Comforts Australians take for granted are rarely found out there. Many priests live without electricity, laid on water and sewerage. Facilities usually include a mud stove for cooking, an oil lamp, a camp bed, and two buckets for washing and bathing.
The problems facing these missionaries in South Bihar are f ormidable. Most of the twenty parishes occupy areas exceeding 40 miles x 40 miles. Each parish has about 18 Mass centres where Mass can only be said every four to eight weeks. Average weekly offertory collections range from 34 cents to $3. More than half the parishes do not have a church or a hall f or Mass and meetings. Many parishes need lighting generators to replace oil lamps, pumps to pipe water from wells to presbytery and convent bathrooms and kitchens, f ences around vegetable gardens to keep out animals. Many parish schools need wells, pumps and water tanks, toilets, desks and more classrooms. The Diocese, one of the poorest in India, just does not have sufficient funds to provide all these essential facilities. The missionaries travel vast distances by bicycle or motor cycle over rough roads and dusty tracks to bring Christ's message of love and hope to isolated people. These priests live and work very close to the poor, staying overnight in their mud dwellings, sharing their food, and taking their night's rest on the floor. For thousands of families, survival depends to a great extent on what they can grow. Each year they face serious f ood shortages because of fickle monsoons, inadequate f arming facilities and know-how, and very often a serious lack of water. They don't quite average two meals a day. Many have only one meal a day, usually simple food such as maize. God knows how they survive. It is hardly surprising that ignorance of hygiene, sanitation and proper diets results in malnutrition and widespread sickness. Children are born in village dwellings without the assistance of a doctor or a nurse. Tetanus at child birth causes a very high death rate amongst mothers and babies. In many areas 50% of the children die before the age of f ive. Thousands of villages have never been visited by a doctor or a nurse. People there cannot phone for medical assistance. They cannot cope with malaria, dysentery, cholera, typhoid, tuberculosis, diphtheria, whooping cough, scabies, tetanus, polio, leprosy, trachoma, night blindness, etc. The
poor are the greatest victims of ill-health. Their privations are almost beyond belief. The welfare of these unfortunate people relies to a great e xtent on extending the work in the parishes. Each parish is not only a centre for spiritual needs, but a centre for adult and child education, medical needs and health education, legal aid for the exploited, and projects to improve food production. Lasting solutions depend largely on education, and much has been achieved with the Mother/Child Care programmes to reduce sickness and save lives. Over 20,000 children attending parish schools will have better job opportunities, and their families will benefit. Seminars are organised to assist farmers on all aspects of agriculture. In so many ways the Missionary work has had a profound effect on families and communities, giving them hope for the future, and showing them how to work for it. Although a great deal has been achieved in recent years because of the wonderful generosity of many supporters, there is still a dire shortage of capital to fund projects which must be commenced. There are five million people in these 20 parishes. The vast majority are very deprived people longing for love. You can change their lives. Please hasten to help them. Your donation will assure them that you know something of what they are going through, and that you are concerned f or their welfare. Whatever you can give will be greatly appreciated. All donations are gratefully acknowledged by: National Director, Father G. Drumm, SJ., Australian Jesuits in India (operating since 1951), PO Box 193, North Sydney, 2060.

DUBLIN: An Irish television f ilm of the life of a lay missionary who was murdered in El Salvador won first prize at the eighth International Christian Television Week here. T he fi lm — Roses in December, the story of Jean Donovan, was produced jointly by RTEI and 2nd December Fi lms. E
ni LISBON: Despite warnings from the Spanish bishops and from Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the Cortes (parliament) has voted to approve a bill which will legalise abortion in three cases. These are: when a mother's life or health is in grave danger; when the pregnancy results from rape; and when in the judgment of two doctors it is probably that the child would be born with grave physical or mental defects. At an open-air Mass in Madrid three days before at the conclusion of a meeting of the Movement for Life, Mother Teresa said: "In an abortion a woman kills not just her child but also her conscience." Archbishop Yanes Alvarez of Saragossa condemned the Cortes' vote as an injustice. A law that destroyed life was always unjust, he said in a pastoral letter, and no one could approve the death of an innocent being. D EE
Kidnaps continue E CARACAS (Venezuela) — An Irish priest, who was once abducted and tortured by security forces in Argentina, is now working to help relatives of other people in Latin America who have disappeared after being kidnapped by people believed to be members of security forces. In Latin America, such missing persons are generally called "the disappeared." "The worst situation is in Guatemala," said Father Patrick Rice, a member of the Little Brothers of the Gospel. "It has more than 30 cases a month." In Honduras since 1980, there have been about 200 cases he said. Disappearances are also a problem in El Salvador, but because of international attention, many of those who get arrested are kept in prison, he added. In Nicaragua, he said, disappearances occur not by action of the authorities but in raids by guerilla forces coming across the border from Honduras. Father Rice is executive secretary of the Latin American Federation of Associations f or Relatives of Disappeared-Detainees. In Guatemala, he said, since 1970 more disappearances had occurred than in Argentina, a country with four times the population and with a poor human rights record. Father Rice said in the 1970s in Argentina "to disappear" became a transitive verb, as in "the authorities disappeared my son." He said cases in Argentina declined after the peak year of 1976 and became only sporadic after 197C. But, he added, the situation remained serious because, instead of investigating the whereabouts of the disappeared, the military government announced last April that it considered those still missing to be dead. "I was disappeared in 1976" while living in Argentina, Father Rice said. The incident occurred, he said, after he began investigating the death in 1976 of Bishop Enrique Angelli in La Rioja, Argentina. According to official reports, the bishop died in an automobile accident. But many people in Argentina believed he was killed because of his criticisms of the government.

Clearing the Knights essential elements gifts reach VATICAN CITY — The Vatican Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes issued what it called a "clarification and restatement" of "essential elements" applying to Religious life. The directives, among other points, underscore the Church's emphasis on living in community (as opposed to a
Religious living alone to carry out his or her apostolatc), strong prayer life, wearing of religious garb, and adherence to the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience — including obedience in a special way to the pope and disapproval of Religious holding civil power. Compiled in the document Essential Elements in the Church's Teaching on R eligious Life As Applied to Institutes Dedicated to Works of the Apostolate, t he directives are drawn from the new Code of Canon Law, statements from recent popes and Second Vatican Council documents. Among the "fundamental norms" of religious life cited in the Vatican congregation's document are: COMMUNITY: "Community life, w hich is one of the marks of a religious institute (Can. 607-2) is proper to each religious family. It gathers all the members together in Christ. . . ." "Religious should live in their own religious house, observing a common life. They' should not live alone without serious reason, . . ." OBEDIENCE (regarding authority): By their vow of obedience. Religious undertake to submit their will to legiti-
mate superiors (Can. 601) according to t he constitutions." "Religious are subject to the supreme authority of the church in a particular manner (Can. 509-1). All Religious are obligated to obey the Holy Father as t heir highest superior in virtue of the vow of obedience (Can. 590-2)" OBEDIENCE (regarding holding of
civil power): "Religious may not accept duties and offices outside their own institute without the permission of a lawful superior (Can. 671 ). Like clerics, t hey may not accept public offices w hich involve the exercise of civil power. (Can. 285-3; cf. also Can. 672. POVERTY: "The evangelical counsel of poverty in imitation of Christ calls for a life poor in fact and in spirit. . . ." A POSTOLATE: "The essential mission of those Religious undertaking apostolic works is the proclaiming of the word of God to those whom he places along their path, so as to lead them t oward faith." They have the special obligation of being attentive to the magisterium of t he hierarchy and of facilitating for the bishops the exercise of the ministry of teaching and witnessing authentically to divine truth (cf. "Mutuae Relationes" 13; cf. "Lumen (ientium" 25)."
Priest sent to gaol TORONTO (NC) —Paul Robinson, former executive director of Sharelife, a Toronto archdiocesan fundraising appeal, has been sentenced to six years in gaol after pleading guilty to stealing nearly $600,000 from the appeal. Robinson, 48, was arrested last December and charged with theft of $25,000 but subsequent investigations showed the actual loss to be $593,000, stolen between 1976 and 1982. He resigned his position when charges were filed. Cardinal G Emmett Carter described the loss as very grave but emphasised the misappropriated funds were replaced from the archdiocesan reserves to pay Sharelife's
commitments in full.

Avco POLAND: During his recent Pope John Paul in Poland specifically commented on workers' rights and other human and civil rights won in the labour strikes of 1980 but then suppressed or restricted by the nation's communist g overnment with the imposition of martial law in December 1981. The pope also beatified three Poles, dedicated a church and blessed the cornerstones for 100 planned churches, received honorary degrees from t wo Polish universities where he studied or taught, and crowned several revered images of Mary enshrined in Poland. But even in religious beatification ceremonies and speeches on Mary, the pope found ways to go far beyond the calls to per -
tour of Poland, Pope John Paul II focused on the issues of turmoil sonal morality and spirituality usually associated with such events by most Catholics. He used such religious symbols instead as the heralds of deep messages about social morality and the common good in the Polish nation. In public speeches the pope came close to explicitly endorsing the nowoutlawed independent labour union, Solidarity. He declared on several occasions that the social reform agreements the union extracted from the government in 1980 were matters of fundamental human rights, and were
therefore an "indispensable" basis for resolving the country's current crisis and restoring peace. It was only after the pope was in Poland, and apparently as a result of personal bargaining between himself and the country's communist leader, General Wojciech Jaruzelski, t hat the government agreed to allow a meeting between the pope and Solidarity's leader, Lech Walesa. In his first major speech in Poland, a homily in Warsaw's cathedral shortly after his arrival, Pope John Paul fired his opening salvo against the lack of rights and freedoms in Poland. He urged Poles to take the courage of the late Cardinal Wyszynski, Polish Primate 1946-81. who was imprisoned in the
1950s, as their model for f acing the nation's present "calvary" in the wake of martial law. "Together with my compatriots -- especially with t hose who are most acutely tasting the bitterness of disappointment, humiliation, suffering, of being deprived of their freedom, of being wronged, of having their dignity trampled upon — I stand beneath the Cross of Christ," he said. But with the faith of the late primate, he said, Poles could turn the cross into victory, imprisonment into spiritual freedom. At an outdoor Mass in Warsaw on June 17, the pope reiterated his plea for domestic peace and unity, again repudiating current government policy by stating that national unity could only come through

Nun, priest in a police net NAPI.ES (NC) — Italian police arrested more than 400 people, including a priest and a nun, in a nationwide sweep against alleged m embers of the Camorra, the Naples version of the Mafia. Among those arrested in 33 Italian cities w ere Franciscan Father Mariano Santini, 55, chaplain of the maximum security p rison in Ascoli Piceno, and Sister A ldina Murelli, 51, an e lementary school t eacher in Ercolano. A lthough exact charges against each suspect were not made public, judicial sources said Father Santini, known in religious life as Father Saverio, was believed to have acted as a gobetween for Raffaele Cutolo, jailed "godfather" of the Naples crime syndicate. and those outside prison w hen Cutolo was j ailed in Ascoli Piceno. Sources said Sister Niurelli, a member of t he Daughters of Charity of the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, was believed to have served as a letter carrier for Cutolo f rom the Ascoli Piceno prison, where she often made visits.
social consensus and on the basis of the fullness of civic rights... Travelling from Warsaw to Czestochowa on June 1 8, with a stop at the Franciscan monastery of Niepokalanow to honour the martyr of Auschwitz, St Maximilian Kolbe, the pope met in Czestochowa with half a million young people. Saying "we are fighting for the future form of our social life," he spoke of the difficulties of achieving freedom in Poland but told the youths, "it is what costs that constitutes value. Meeting later with pilgrims from Szczecin, a Solidarity stronghold in the north, he said many of them had come "with a wound in your heart and with sorrow, perhaps even anger" from "the experiences of the recent year."

CHICAGO (NC) — Evangelisation is a matter of "invitation rather than coercion," Cardinal Joseph L Bernardin of Chicago told members of the newly f ormed National Counci l for Catholic Evangelisation. Cardinal Bernardin told the group that evangel isation is an invitation to the kingdom of God, to conversion and to discipleship. "Conversion is always into and through the C hurch, the body of Christ. It is c ountercultural." Evangelisation is the integrating force of all ministries, the cardinal said, "for all ministries share the meaning system and healing of Jesus."
Nicaraguans trying to discredit
public attacks on government suppression of human rights on June 19. A ddressing Poland's bishops in Czestochowa, he backed their frequent criticisms of martial law a nd said it was the Church's social doctrine that led it to such involvement in public issues. "The social doctrine of the Church and the true aspirations of workers do not pass alongside each other, but truly meet," and this required the Church to be in "honest solidarity with workers," the pope said. In an emotional homily that evening in the form of a meditative prayer to Our L ady of Czestochowa Poland's national patroness, he pleaded for a return of Poland to "truth, liberty, justice, social solidarity" on the basis of the 1980 agreements. Meanwhile, the Vatican has denied there were pol-
itical overtones to Pope John Paul's pilgrimage to Poland. The denial was issued by Father Romeo Panciroli, Vatican Press spokesman. "In certain organs of international information there is noted the attempt to interpret the trip and the words of the pope on the basis of a content and an i ntent of a political character. "Nothing is more contrary to the intentions of the Holy Father who has m any times clearly affirmed the exclusive nature, truly religious and moral, of this second pilgrimage to Poland on the occasion of the sixth centenary of Our Lady of Czestochowa. ' The pilgrimage was e ffected after having received the invitation of the bishops of Poland and of the authorities of the People's Republic of Poland
Part of a big lot pro-government activists kept Catholics trapped in a church and away from the pope, who was then heckled as he tried to pray. Bolanos said he was in a command post, near the square, that co-ordinated the crowd and put in the forefront women carrying pictures of sons who had died during the Sandinista overthrow of dictator Anastasio Somoza in 1979. The women were urged to ask Pope John Paul to pray for their sons' souls. "He didn't want to do it, because if he had, it would have meant he was in solidarity with the communist army," Bolanos said. A rchbishop Obando Bravo, who has spoken out against censorship and repression of dissent, has been a major target of surveillance since the pope's visit, Bolanos said. An earlier effort to discredit the Church involved Father Carballo. Bolanos said he was told a security operation was planned, using a prostitute "known and used by all the Sandinista high command" to disgrace Father Carballo. The prostitute posed as a penitent asking Father Carballos' counsel and tried to win the priest's confidence, hoping eventually to seduce him.

KNOW YOUR FAITH
-
THWAYS 0 Racism divides people. It leads to pain and causes us to overlook the gifts of others. In our series this week, David Gibson suggests that the need for unity among peoples becomes greater as our world grows smaller. The Know Your Faith editor quotes Jesuit Father Pierre Tellhard de Chardin who once wrote that the future -depends on the courage and r esourcefulness - which human beings display in overcoming the forces that drive them away from each other. Thus efforts to unify people, Gibson says, can be seen as a sign of hope for the world's future. Katharine Bird interviews Harry Fagan who has long worked to promote social justice. He says racism is costly in more ways than one. Ms Bird is Know Your Faith associate editor. Patricia Davis reflects on some of the lessons about racism that she has learned over the years. The mother of an adopted Korean daughter, Ms Davis lived for a time in Japan. She tells what she thinks parents can do to combat racism. Ms Davis is on the staff of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat for the Laity. Father John Castelot talks about St Paul's three journeys as a missionary and the strong sense that the Holy Spirit was his guide and companion.
In Malcom X Park in Washington black children cling to a fence that seems to symbolise the barriers that separate them from some of the rights and freedoms that others take for granted. Racism is more than a self-conscious feeling, an insensitive remark or even a stupid and cruel custom.
Ways for parents to help kids Ways for parents to help children develop r espect for people of all races were discussed in a recent interview by Harry Fagan, associate director of the National Pastoral Life Centre in New York City. He has long worked to promote social justice. Fagan noted that many parents are dismayed when they encounter a "real life" incidence of prejudice in their children. Yet racism is so ingrained in society, Fagan said, that children meet prejudice in their classmates or in the community even when their parents are careful to promote Christian values at home.
Many peoples and one faith are represented in the choir at St Matthew's School in Long Beach, California. Schools are very goodplaces to begin breaking down racial barriers especially when racial backgrounds come into the same classroom.

The Record, July 7 — July 13, 1983
What happens in a typical situation, Fagan said, is that a teenager comes home from school one day and uses a derogatory phrase to refer to someone of another race. Asked how parents might respond to such a situation, Fagan advised initiating a discussion with the youth, maybe asking a question such as, "Why do you think like that?" What's needed is to get behind the racial slur and see where the youth is coming from, he emphasised. Sometimes the youth is simply "repeating what friends say on the street." If that's the case, Fagan continued, parents should try to get their children to take a look at what they are doing when they simply parrot street talk thoughtlessly. The social activist emphasised it is counterproductive for parents to say to teenagers, "You're wrong or stupid or crazy" for using racial epithets. Instead parents should concentrate on getting youths to think through the implications of what they are saying. In some cases, parents may discover that the teenager has encountered a person of another race and thought that individual to be rude. Then the parent needs to help the child see that the person's race has nothing to do with the behaviour. "Individuals are rude, but not groups," Fagan stressed. Fagan strongly recommended that parents "actively work to expose children to situations where they are around" people of other races. He is convinced that "exposure and interrelation are definite keys" to fighting racism. Often, as members of the different racial groups find themselves working together in situations together, the social activist remarked, racist attitudes and behaviours are altered as the fear of the unknown is overcome.
SPIRIT What is racism? Compiled by NC NEWS SERVICE
For a dozen years Harry Fagan immersed himself in the issues andproblems of social justice as director of the Commission on Catholic Community A ction in the Diocese of Cleveland. In early 1983 he moved to New York City to become associate director of the new NationalPastoral Life Centre, an outgrowth of the U.S. bishops' Parish Project. In an inverview the well-known social activist expressed some of his views of racism. Q. What is racism? A. Racism is a sin: It denies that God made people of certain colours. I see racism on two levels: as social sin but also as personal sin. Racism appears as a sin of society in the way we systematically institutionalise practices and policies which discriminate against people of colour. These practices keep people from achieving their natural potential. Racism shows up in housing practices, in
health care and justicerelated issues, in recreational and educational policies. On the personal side. racism has to do with the way we conduct ourselves as individuals: in the stories we tell, in how we raise our kids, in the way we treat others. It shows up when we demonstrate hate and anger at a group of people rather than consider individual worth. Q. How widespread a problem is racism?
By Katharine Bird A. Racism is endemic in our society and in our people. For years ethnic enclaves in cities have borne the brunt of being identified as places with racial problems to deal with. yet racism is just as hateful in the suburbs. Take a family situation, for instance, where mum and dad take care to raise their kids in a prejudicefree home, where no
racial joke is ever told. In spite of their efforts, however, one day their teenager comes home and uses a racial slur in talking about a bus driver. That's very frustrating to parents and to me. Q. How damaging is racism? A. On the spiritual level, living with the sin of racism is corrosive — it corrupts. If we tolerate p eople not being respsected for their Godgiven dignity, we lessen ourselves as Christians. On the level of society, r acism is extremely expensive. In a city like New York, t he highways are crammed because many white people refuse to live next to brown and black people.

The spirit leads
The message People like St S tephen and St Paul are interesting in themselves. But they are even more interesting as instruments of the Spirit. We see that the Holy Spirit is the ruling principle for them as we look at what Luke writes in the Acts of the Apostles. Paul (Saul) and his exploits take up a major portion of Acts. Right from the beginning the Spirit is active. During a celebration of the liturgy at Antioch, the Spirit suggested to t he congregation that members "set aside Barnabas and Saul . . . to do the work for which I have called them."

Paul embarked on what was to be the first of three far-reaching journeys. On the first leg of the trip, on the island of Cyprus, a magician tried to dissuade the Roman governor from listening to Paul.

Later, when Paul's first sermon on what is now the mainland of Turkey met with some success, hut even more in terms of violent opposition and expulsion from the city, "the disciples could not but be filled with joy and the Holy Spirit," Luke comments. Paul converted many gentiles on his first mission. But this met opposition from a wing of the Jewish-Christian com-

Some have suggested that as we come to recognise the dignity of others who are different because of culture or race, and to see the positive values of their traditions, our own universe expands; we are enriched.

Anglican for Vancouver conference • This month, Perth Anglican Jenny Pengelley will be in Vancouver to help at the assembly of the World Council of Churches. These are her thoughts on the event My invitation to serve as a steward at the WCC assembly has come at a time of deep personal struggle to recognise the loving acts of God in my life and to commit myself to life in Christ. The theme of the assembly is "Jesus Christ — the Life of the World." For me it is very appropriate that after beginning my search for life and realising that life is in me, I am now being offered the chance to meet the "Life of the World" in a broader perspective. Over the past two years I have had to determine my values about how I live, how I work, how I worship and how I pray. It has been a period of soul-searching, sorrow anguish and loneliness; but gradually welling up has come deep peace and a sense of joy. The next step for me is to share this sense of joy with the people I meet. Until November last year "people I meet" would have been limited to people in Perth. Now I have been given the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I will also be able to share with those people what they are becoming. I will be able to discover new ways of living life in Christ. I hope that through the coming together of so many diverse members of the body of Christ, we will be able to give true validity to the assembly theme and that Jesus Christ will really become the "Life of the World "

spirit of St Brigid of Ireland, a small group of women set up Sunday Schools and regular classes. Their mission was to educate adults and children in their faith and help them to a life of freedom and dignity through general education. From this seed grew a healthy tree spreading its branches across the globe. In 1883, six Irish sisters braved apparently insurmountable difficulties to make the first f oundation at Coonamble, a small country town more than 800 kms from Sydney. From that beginning, B rigidine schools spread into most states of Australia, excluding T asmania and the Northern Territory. The congregation later spread to New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, United Kingdom and the United States of America. At their peak in the 1 960's there were more than 800 Brigidine sisters, 540 of them in Australia.

"But a lot of youths like myself battled through and completed the course successfully." Work conditions, too, were far different from those obtaining today.
Today's People A weekly feature By BOB BOYLE There was no official tea-break until 1943 or 1944, you sat on a box at the work bench to eat your lunch, and amenities such as showers and washrooms were almost nonexistent.
Now job -seekers, and he has interviewed many over the years, ask questions such as: Where do I draw my gloves and overalls? What time is morning tea? How much do I get? What work am I supposed to do? — usually in that order.
A long Friends groups But the grind of his early days in engineering has stood Bernie in good stead. "I can't remember a lob in which I have worked less than 60 hours a week," he says. "But I've enjoyed most of them and left those I haven't. 'Even now I'm on call seven days a week, but I do get time off for activities such as attending meetings." He is a great believer in learning any job from the bottom up. He thinks that one of the reasons for industrial strife now is that too few losses have spent any time on the workroom floor. With his brother Joe, he started his own engineering business in 1947 after he came out of the RAAF. To accommodate it, they built a shed in the backyard of their Carnarvon Street home in Victoria Park and set about tasks such as repairing lawnmowers, producing machine castings and making up gears for a tractor agent. They shifted to 10th Avenue in Inglewood where they worked two shifts, and prominent among their

Bernie takes presidency
As maintenance man at Mercy College Koondoola, the new president of the Parents and Friends Federation Mr Bernie Dwyer, has a first class working knowledge of Catholic school life today.
record with the Parents and t asks was fulfilling orders from C hamberlain Industries. But the local residents, tiring of the noise, took out a court injunction which restricted their activities to between 7am and 8pm. Nothing daunted, they shifted to a v acant block at Kewdale, built another shed on it and launched into a programme which included making lawnmowers, tractor gears, harvester parts and taking on all sorts of jobbing engineering. B ernie pulled out of the business in 1 959 to start what he considers to be p robably the most enjoyable 15 years of his working life with the e ngineering division of Venables S ervice.
He rates Len Venbales, the boss, as probably the best engineer he has worked with and the activities there were varied and interesting. H owever, the extension of the freeway through the Leederville area disjointed the operation and Bernie decided it was time again to seek pastures new. He did a stint with Vickers-Keogh in K algoorlie, mainly working on mining machinery, but he returned to Perth for family reasons and took a
job with Drilco at Jandakot. This big multi-national had a machine shop turnover there of more than $1 million a month, and as a supervisor he had to ensure that quality control was right on the spot with the oil-drilling machinery they were servicing. It was another 60 -hour -a -week job and Bernie was beginning to feel the need for more time off when Dick Finucane, principal of Mercy College, offered him his present role arid he was glad to accept in 1974. "I have a long-standing interest in education dating back to my apprentice days," he says. His real participation in Catholic school activity started when eldest daughter Christine was at St Brigid's and Sister Paula rang to ask him whether he would represent the school on what was then the Catholic Girls Secondary Schools Sports Association, and he agreed. He was elected president of the Mercy College Koondoola P and F in 1972 when there was a lot of work to be done at the new school. It was pretty well in the bush, the MIT would not send their buses over the limestone road leading to it and the pupils had to walk some distance. Looming was all the hard yakker inseparable from any new school. Not a believer in long terms of
office, he vacated the presidency after three years during which a tremendous amount of progress had been made, and was later called back to serve another year. He is still on the committee, and also that of CBC Leederville to which he was elected in 1976 when son Brendan was attending school. Under the guidelines then operating, he was appointed parent representative on the Catholic Education Commission in 1978 and last year was appointed for another threeyear term. "In the years of my association with the P and F Federation," Bernie says, "I've had the privilege of working with some brilliant men. "Fellows like Bill Mahony, Maurie McGovern, Paul Donnelly, Ivan K eogh and Lloyd Greenwood — and there have been others — had a lot of foresight. "Catholic education would not be where it is today without them. "They saw parents needed to be involved to exert pressure on politicians of all parties to achieve justice in education funding. "WA was the first to organise a state parent body to press for these needs. "Over the years, Catholic education through the P and F Federation has built up a good relationship with the State Government, and through the
Australian Parent Council with the Federal Government. "Thus both governments have been a ware of funding needs. "The Federation in WA works harmoniously with the Council of State School Organisations and its relationship with the Catholic Education Commission is probably the best in Australia. "This could well be due to the fact Monsignor Nestor is spiritual director of the Federation and chairman of the CEC." As satisfactrory a situation as can be expected will be achieved, Bernie believes, if Catholic schools can maintain the nexus between costs and what is available in funding. The progress recorded by Catholic schools over the past 20 years has made all political parties aware that appropriate funding not only brings about justice but also makes sound
economic sense from the government viewpoint. A problem now is that many parents have relegated to the schools t he whole burden of Catholic education. Parents must be the prime educators of the child. "We should be looking," Bernie continues, "at the Catholic school community with student, teacher and school working together for the good of the student. "Any movement towards total community involvement relies heavily on the school principal. All principals realise this and many are doing something about it. "It won't happen overnight because there is so much work to be done. "But parents should realise enrolling a child in a Catholic school is by no means the end of their parental responsibility."

The Record, July 7 -'July 13, 1983
( Youth Forum Dear friends, After great debate and discussion on whether to do anything about this great idea Ihad, Idecided I'd have a bash. For quite a whileIthought of starting a youth movement ofsome kindin the Maylands Parish, but it wasn't until I went on the Catholic Youth Council camp (as a cook) that Ihad decided to actually do something. .t/i• idea was to start a Youth Prayer Group. Ihave been going along to the Redemptorist Monastery Youth Prayer Group and found it to be a group of growth, love, and belonging, for me. I wanted a group like this in Mavlands. So thefollowing TuesdayI approached Fatherr Tom O'Kane, and he gave us the parish hall.
The following Sunday 1 arrived in Maylands to invite the youth along to our first meeting in a few weeks. My slightly big ego was socked somewhat. Irealised just how muchIhad to rely on Jesusfor help, asIcouldn't do it all. On June 12 we had our first meeting. Some nine people gathered together in His name. We sharedprayers, sang songs and discussed what we'd like in YMPG. We're off to a start. There is a lot we want to achieve, so if you're out there with excess energy and ideas, or even if you have no energy, come along. The age range is 16 to 30, and we meet every Sunday in the Parish Hall, 75 Seventh Avenue. Thanks. Marcus Boehm, 328 9357.
Pancake parade Buttons, balloons, banners a nd brochures were the order of the day at Youth Appeal 83 street concert, in Forrest Place recently. Despite buckets of rain the brave battled on in order to draw attention to the doorknock of August 14. The appeal is a first in that 11 youth organisations have joined f orces and will share the funds raised.
Some say that cars are important symbols for guys as diamonds are for girls. 1 recently heard a story that was about a clash b etween cars and diamonds. 1 young man arrived at the home of his girlfriend to meet her parents. He was the proud owner of a plush panel van; stereo, quilting, thick piled carpets, curtains — just the thing for the drive-ins and "parking". The father of the y oung lady was very impressed w ith the young man yet quite unimpressed with his panel van. He told the prospective suitor, "if you wish to court my daughter, get rid of your van."

It is about seeking to belong to the other, according to one's state in life, yet not treating others as objects for one's own pleasure. It involves sacrifice and honesty. One young person said: "I don't want to sound like a prude but it is about the wholeness of a person". The Oxford dictionary tells us that it is abstaining from irregular or all sexual intercourse. For some it may just be a girl's name no longer in vogue. What do you think?
The youth organisations include; Anglican Youth, Catholic Youth, Uniting Church Youth, Frontier youth S ervices, Young Christian Workers, Young Womens Christian Assoc., Youth E ncounter, Youth Hostels Assoc., Jesus People Inc, Catholic Parish Youth and The Perth Inner -City Youth Service. Funds will be divided seven ways between the parent bodies. Premier Brian Burke, has said, "Youth Work is facing hard times. W.A. Youth Organisations need our help n ow.
