VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II has spelled out to French Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy the Church's opposition to France's school reform plans which French bishops say would limit the autonomy of Catholic schools, according to the Vatican press office.

DIANELLA IS TAPED

More than 170 Dianella parishioners are attending a course of 27 instructions on Catholic faith which are also being videotaped for further use and of which copies can be ordered from Father O'Mara. Last Thursday. lecturer Father Raymond ODC of Morley is seen being put through his paces by cameraman Lou Beki watched by Father O'Mara and overhead projector operator Alan Smith.

The press office broke from its usual practice and issued a public statement after the 35-minute private audience, which centred on the highly sensitive school in issue. Normally, no details about private audiences are revealed. During the encounter, Mauroy described in detail the French proposals to the pope. The provision most contested by Church leaders would tie State funding of private schools to incorporation of private school teachers into the civil service. "The Holy Father illustrated to Mr Mauroy the Catholic Church's position of principle" on the school question, the statement said. That position, it added, "is the result not only of statements made by French bishops, but also of the talk (Pope John Paul) gave in St Peter's to the Roman Curia on June 28." In his talk to Curia officials, given the day Mauroy arrived in Italy for a three-day visit, the pope strongly defended religious education as a fundamental right and said Catholic schools "must not be obstructed or reduced." While he did not name specific disputes, the pope urged bishops in Europe to stand firm against "difficult situations." Pope John Paul and French bishops have criticised t S e French private school proposals. which were approved by the French Nati(mal Assembly on May 22.

Lefebvre still active

ECONE (Switzerland) (NC) — Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who founded a movement opposed to reforms of the Second Vatican Council, has ordained 25 new priests, despite his 1976 suspension from ministerial duties. The ceremony was in Econe, Switzerland, eight miles from where Pope John Paul II ordained nine men three days earlier. The archbishop asked the new priests of his St Pius X Society to defend the 16th century Tridentine Mass, which was superseded by the new order of Mass after the Second Vatican Council.

"Mass must not resemble a Protestant service," Archbishop Lefebvre said. Under his suspension, Archbishop Lefebvre continues to be an archbishop but is barred by Church law from celebrating Mass, ordaining priests or administering other sacraments. However, while his administration of the sacraments is illegal in the Church's eyes, the sacraments themselves are valid because he is a validly ordained priest and archbishop. The archbishop was suspended from his ministerial duties in 1976.

There's no case says lawyer

Keep the dream

MELBOURNE: David Yallop's book on the alleged assassination of Pope John Paul is a "hoax" according to one of Victoria's most distinguished criminal lawyers, Mr Frank Galbally. "The book In God's Name is a disgrace," said the barrister of nearly 40 years' criminal law experience and over 300 murder cases. "There's not the slightest backing for his allegations." He added one of the worst features of the book was its reliance on anonymous witnesses who could not be tested.

Matthew has been a pentathlete for seven years and first became interested through the City of Sydney Police Boys' Club. Ken Hodges was an inspiration to him in those days. Bob Barrie is the team manager and was himself a competitor in the modern pentathlon in t he 1972 Munich games, and the 1980 Moscow games.

Priest gaoled

PRAGUE: Father Andrej Filipek, 36, was given a six-month suspended sentence by the district court in Spisska Nova Ves for asking his parishioners to contribute to the fund for repairing their church in Hnilcik in Slovakia. Collecting of funds for such purposes is incompatible with article 178 of the Penal Code of Czechoslovakia, because the law stipulates the State is responsible for the physical maintenance of church premises. All items confiscated during the search of the presbytery were forfeited to the State. Although the government accepts responsibility for maintaining church premises, it has not granted permission for any new church to be built by Catholics since 1948. Most church buildings stand in need of urgent repair. Keston College Reports

I have asked him if he stands by that statement and he says he does. -Yet, on the other hand he is prepared to say the pope was murdered by poison." Mr Galbally put the book back on the table and tapped it with a gesture of finality — as if that one observation was all that needed to be said. Asked if he would be prepared to defend in court any of the six "suspects" if they could be called to face such an extremely hypothetical trial, he answered: "I'm quite confident there is no case for them to answer.

Charistmatics' integration into parish life ROME: The future of charismatic renewal lies in "its integration into parish life," according to Cardinal Suenens, adding he prefers to see renewal as a part of parish effort rather than concentrated in a community outside parish life. But integration into parish life required not only willingness by charismatics but also by "parish priests to be open to the renewal," said the retired Archbishop of Brussels who has been a strong charismatic leader.

Spirit which denies human aspects. He cited problems related to the gifts of healing and prophecy. People in charismatic movements "speak too easily about healing ministries," he said. "Miracle evenings," he said, such as those which are televised, "make me uncomfortable because they make miracles cheap." He also criticised an "overemphasis on prophecy" in which people erroneously think they or others can predict the future.

CHIGAGO (NC) — Keep God's dream alive within yourself, Father Richard Reis of Worldwide Marriage Encounter's national exective leadership team told couples who attended the 12th annual Worldwide Marriage Encounter convention. At the opening session Father Reis said, "This weekend is about many things, but they all add up to one thing — the dream. God's plan may seem distant to us, but what it really is is His dream for us and for what w e can be — a dream that we desperately want to keep alive within us." Addressing the opening prayer service, Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago told the nearly 4000 priests, Religious and c ouples the Church had been greatly blessed by their work and said the Church needs them. He thanked them for the way they helped other marriages through their "service, honesty, reflection and example." A ffirming their commitment to dialogue as a means of deepending their relationships, the cardinal said communication is "at the heart of human and Christian life."

Many activities covered in reports An impressive number of activities were covered in reports presented to the State Conference of the Catholic Womens League on July 8. State president, Mrs Mollie Indermaur reported in spite of the loss of Bentley, Whitfords and Katanning branches, state membership stood at 690 with branches soon to be opened at Mandurah and Karratha. Other points made by Mrs Indermaur included:

A battle to bend minds and bodies Any satisfaction experienced by factions who considered they won at the ALP conference does not necessarily silence the losers and the political safety gained in some matters does not necessarily guarantee community safety from the pressures at work. The emphasis given to leading personalities on the major issues obscured the part played by state delegates but West Australia got doubtful prominence in the coldblooded attempt by Senator Pat Giles to remove the abortion conscience clause. Since much of the conference followed the gospel injunction of not letting one hand know what the other was doing, it does not matter whether the senator's allies broke an agreement not to pursue this line. On the other hand it could be said that two-thirds of the delegates would not buy into this proposal. The debate did not need to throw any more light on the forces that are determined to widen the availability of abortion in this country by whatever device. A conscience vote on abortion does not eliminate the politicians of all parties who are prepared to back abortion when the time is right. Last week's Canberra move however did indicate where the knives are being sharpened and that the religious jugular vein is the point where the pressure will be applied.

EDE It would have surprised no-one that deputy prime minister Lionel Bowen would speak with determination not only against abortion but also on the sinister move to eliminate his conscience vote. He called their threat out into the open by declaring that if they intended to eliminate his opposition by party room pressure then he would rather resign but they would have to force the issue. Newspaper reports seen in Perth were careful or unwitting enough not to mention Mr Bowen's religious faith. Such reports usually carry a journalists name but new subtle avenues are available to the likes of the anonymous voice-over commentator on the ABC being able to note that abortion opponent Lionel Bowen was a staunch Catholic. The same reporters do not go to the similar trouble to identify that religion, or lack of it, of those attacking conscience votes. Strangely. NSW delegate Kerni Spooner came to Mr Bowen's support with the well intentioned but curious distinction that an anti-conscience clause would prohibit not only Catholics but other abortion opponents from being eligible for the party. The observation was close to the truth that has emerged in England's rampant abortion industry. Doctors and nurses can theoretically opt out of abortions but hospitals have their own way of dealing with tender consciences to the point where many with principles now move away from obstetrics. Given this drift, it is obviously in the interest of proabortion strategy to isolate individual Catholics as oddball opponents of society's destructive progress. The frequency with which Catholics' opposition to abortion is mentioned means that their influence is feared more than the census proportions of denominations would indicate. Opposition of other identifiable religious groups can effectively be reduced to pious fence-sitting as exemplified in the uninspiring reported observation this same week by Anglican Administrator Bishop Michael Challen that his church supports abortion if the mother's health is at risk or if she is the victim of rape. These sentiments win applause and popularity from the pro-abortionists looking for any exploitable weakening of the defence of life. They also conveniently overlook the unpalatable truth that the thousands of Australian women pouring through the abortion clinics are neither health risks or rape victims, but it sounds a compelling diagnosis on paper.

Delegates 18 years

Alice Gee, CWI delegate to the Civil Rehabilitation Council reported she and Rita Rampant had been delegates for 18 years. She thanked Marie Boswell and the sewing ladies for supplying up to 90 handmade toys for prisoners' families at Christmas, also Brentwood parishionThe past year proved to be a ers and CWL members busy one for the members of the sheets, baby Catholic Women's League, the for clothes, pyjamas and league's annual general meeting SEX cartons of food and was told. toys.

Church Australian Women attended Fellowship Day, World Community Day and also took part in the Burma/Australia prayer partnership. She also attended Biennial National Committee meeting of ACW in Melbourne, the immediate past president of which is a Dominican nun from Dandenong. The delegate to the Women's World Day of Prayer reported the 1985 service will he held at St Mary's Cathedral. Mrs Wyn Nelson, delegate to the Travellers' Aid Society reported after 42 years, that organisation had terminated hut a donation of a special chair for mothers had been made to Westrail to commemorate the work of the society.

EIDE The most ominous abortion portent of the week was the showing of the Chinese documentary film on the simple procedure that country is pursuing to achieve not just zero population growth but a sizeable reduction: the couple with more than one child will be dealt with. Government inspectors see that couples do not waver in their contraceptive commitment either by pills or uterine abortants. Those who defiantly break the code are talked, if not co-erced, into abortion. To prove the point a six month baby was shown being poisoned by injection so that it could be forcibly aborted the subsequent day. It would be too easy to dismiss this mind-numbing manipulation of life merely as misguided Chinese Marxism. It is the high point of political mind bending control. The compulsory abortion is the final degradation of human choice and individual responsibility. The women of the left, centre, or nowhere, who are pursuing this line know the total obedience to the medical technician they eventually want. Bland phrases about the right to fertility are a smokescreen. Those who do not fit the pattern can be made to do so That is what the anti-conscience strategy is all about. Calling such totalitariansim left or right is a waste of words. It is evil.

0 der elects new men Pt top One of Australia's best known theologians has been elected Provincial Superior of the Redemptorist Fathers and Brothers in Australia. Father Kevin O'Shea, 54, is currently professor of systematic theology at Fordharn University, New York. He has also lectured at Yarra Theological Union and Banyo Seminary in Australia. Father O'Shea is renowned in Australia and overseas for his renewal work among religious and priests. He is author of several books written for a larger reading public including On Trial for Hope and The Way of Tenderness. Since 1971, Father O'Shea has been associated with the Institute of Counselling in Sydney where he focuses on the relationship between psychology and religious studies. Father O'Shea replaces Father Lawrence McCarthy who has been provincial for the last six years.

WA links Also elected to the new provincial council is Father Patrick Corbett as vicar proCurrently vincial. Novice Master, Father Corbett studied in New York and holds a masters degree in counselling. The third member of the council, Father Kees de Kuyer has links with Western Australia where his mother Mrs Dora Tyburg is receptionist at the North Perth Monastery. Mr de Kuyer died in a concentration camp during World War II and after the war the family came to Western Australia. Kees had done three months training with the Redemptorists in

Holland and continued his .tudies in Australia. He was ordained priest at North Perth in 1956. Father O'Shea considers there are three immediate priorities for the Australian Redemptorists. "First, they had to maintain the vigour of their apostolate to explicitly proclaim the Gospel, especially to those suffering from the disenchantment with modern life and to those in the market place for whom the church passes unnoticed. "Second. they have to integrate their work into the pastoral planning of the local churches. And third, they had to develop to its maximum the pastoral potential of each Redemptorist through continuing formation and education." he said.

Catechism withdrawn NEW YORK: Paulist Press has halted circulation of its popular adult catechism, "Christ Among Us," at the request of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, because the Vatican congregation had found the book "not suitable as a catechetical text." A Paulist Press statement said the book would not be revised and reissued because the doctrinal congregation had determined that even with "substantial corrections" it would still not be suitable.

The editors, Father Sergio Pagano and Antonio Luciani said new evidence makes it unlikely Galileo's anonymous accuser was a Jesuit priest, as some historians have claimed. They said, instead, the accuser was "certainly an archbishop or a cardinal." They based their conclusion on the watermarked coat of arms found on a letter denouncing the scientist. The original trial records were probably lost in 1810 when Napoleon transferred many Vatican documents to Paris. Included in the book are six previously unpublished Vatican documents. Galileo got into trouble with the Church when he published his scientific studies which back the theory the earth revolves around the sun. He was charged with heresy.

It is no longer news that the continent of Africa is in the grip of an impending tragedy, with drought a shadow over so many lands that distress is bringing together many who might otherwise be at variance. Interest in the African continent, a spasmodic thing in continental Australia, has gained a new and exact focus but, while we face our own and a droughts number of farmers and graziers know the despair of parched land and dead stock, the effect on the main population centres of our continent is minimal. In Africa, where the waters have run dry and the river beds become sand, major populations struggle to survive. In many places the local people are subsistence farmers, and the shadow of the continuing drought is the shadow of death. Many fear that, after several years without appreciable rain, the land is exhausted, eroded and will never bear fruit again. In the end, the problem of Africa is the problem of poverty. If a truck breaks down there are no spare parts to mend it, and there is no

The human tragedy that is Africa and her starving millions ...

from E.P. OrALL4GHAN, A ttadale SIR: What a feeling of loving sadness it brings when "The Record" (June 29) announced some Sydney parishes are on the way to being out of priests pretty soon. I say loving, because we come to love deeply the priests we have and have had; and sad; because in the troubled times we have come through, so many lost their foothold and became insecure with the changes they had to digest. It really does trouble me deeply to see such powerfully printed messages of the shortage of priests and yet to recognise how absolutely true it is. And yet on the other hand a number of my lifetime friends, who having been laicised, sometimes under the most unfortunate and uncaring circumstances, yet retaining the vigour of their faith and the love of their priestly training and function, remain so ostracised from so many of the responsibility roles in our Church/ school system — even to the point where they are restricted in the responsibilities t hey can accept in our Catholic schools' staffing structure. On the other hand, on the grounds of love and the logic of Christian charity and ecumenism, we see the signs of a refreshing trend in allowing our converted Anglican ministers to be ordained into the priesthood of serving God and his Catholic people with their families who have proved to

be such a happily accepted part of our Catholic parishes and way of life. Where are we really with this issue? In so many ways our hierarchy structure, in the sense of our man management of priests, often young and in the need of fuller experience of maturing, has not been without blame. Yet we seem to be prepared to scorn the devotion and dedication that oftentimes is in their heart and indeed discriminate against them in such heartless ways. Why really do we keep doing this and yet print in such bold headlines the pathetic message that we are truly in such desperation for the lack of parish priests! Why do we remain so inconsistent in these enlightened times when we have already come such a long way in the spirit of forgiveness and of Christian love and Christian logic? One is reminded to look back now with heartfelt sympathy for loving mixed marriage couples, who 40 years ago were destined to be married in the old church sacristy (some reflect on it now as the "broom cupboard") or to those saddened families who were in those days denied a Catholic burial for their dear one who may have committed suicide. With our prayer for priestly vocations, might we also pray that our theologians will provide a basis for forgiveness and reprieve for the many of our laicised Catholic men who would love to give what part of their lives they can to serving,

Astounded at report from EILEEN CALOR, Sorrento Sir: When I read the item (that the Vatican is considering the question of altar girls) in The Record July 13 to say that I was astounded is to put it mildly. I was mindful of the words: "Nero fiddled while Rome burns". Is Archbishop Noe, secretary for Congregation for Divine Worship, so taken up with trivial unimportant matters that he cannot rise to the spiritual contribution women are capable of offering the Church in today's world? No wonder there is a movement to promote women to their rightful place in society. Almighty God chose a woman to be His Mother and counsellor during His formative years. I consider if

women were given a higher status in the Church their contribution and aid to decision making would be of inestimable value. Scripture says: "He made them male and female-. Does not this mean that men and women complement each other. EDITOR'S NOTE: Do not blame Archbishop Noe. Blame his questioners. He was not discoursing on women in the Church but on liturgy. A questioner asked him about girl servers in the midst of many other questions.

Briefs: r i ROME: New advances in the treatment of leprosy including an experimental vaccine and techniques which could also add to the understanding of cancer and other diseases, have been announced by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. The vaccine, which faces up to 10 years of testing and evaluation, was developed by Venezuelan Dr Jacinto Convit, who worked with animals infected with the disease. The recent discovery that leprosy can occur in some animals, the academy said, is especially vital to research because the bacteria that cause the disease cannot be cultivated in the laboratory. Other techniques for combating leprosy, which could help in understanding a variety of diseases and increase knowledge of the immune system, are being developed in various countries, the academy said after a Vatican conference on Immunology, Epidemiology and Social Aspects of Leprosy.

niNEW YORK (NC) — Arthur and Helena Dede considered themselves "ordinary devout Catholics," But "ordinary" might not be the right word, because each of their eight children went a step further. they all became priests or sisters. "That's just the way it turned out," said Father Paul Dede, the youngest of the eight. "There were always parish priests in and out of our house, and there seemed to always be one parish priest who coached us boys in sports and was always around," he added. Four of the five Dede daughters entered the Sisters of Providence. The only daughter who is not a Sister of Providence, is a Benedictine nun. Their father, Arthur Dede, died in 1979 after a lengthy illness, and the Sister of Providence allowed the Dede daughters to spend time at home caring for their parents during the more than four years of his terminal illness. In 1963, on their 50th wedding anniversary, the couple was awarded the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice (for the Church and the pope), a papal medal given to lay people for significant contributions to the Church.

MAPUTO (Mozambique) Rome has established two new archioceses in the southern African nation of Mozambique, where relations between the Church and the Marxist government have been tense since the country gained its independence from Portugal in 1975. T he Diocese of Beira in central Mozambique and the Diocese of Nampula in the nothern part of the country were made archdioceses bringing the number of archdioces in the country to three, along with the existing archdioceses based in Maputo, the capital.

Mozambique's government has cracked down on Catholic activities in the past. Soon after independence it nationalised church schools. Relations between the State and the Catholic Church were strained from the start because the new government accused Church hierarchy of siding with the mostly Catholic Portugese colonial government during the war for independence. The pope recognised the situation in 1982 when he told Mozambique's bishops there was too little religious freedom in the country.

In 1979, the government closed many churches, restricted the movements of missionaries and halted instruction at a catechetical centre. Most of the churches and the centre were reopened by 1980, but construction of new churches was banned. In 1983, Bishop Goncalves asked Mozambique President Samora Machel to relax the religious restrictions and leaders from the nation's major religions called for better treatment from the government. A bout 1.5 million of the former Portuguese colony's 12 million population are Catholic.

Executions should cease NEW YORK (NC) — The five Catholic bishops of Kentucky have issued a pastoral letter calling for an end to the death penalty in the state and throughout the nation. The pastoral came about a month after the bishops made an unpublicised visit to "death row" at the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville. "We sec our rejection of capital punishment as part of the Church's opposition to every attack upon human life," the bishops said. "We are opposed to capital punishment simply because it deliberately ends human life and thus threatens the sanctity and dignity of all human life." The pastoral, "Choose Life: Reflections on the Death Penalty," examines the reasons for capital punishment and concludes "under the circumstances prevailing in society today, the death penalty as punishment for reasons of deterrence, retribution or the protection of society cannot be justified."

Five f ace gaol SAN SALVADOR (NC) — Five former Salvadoran national guardsmen have been sentenced to 30 years in prison with no possibility of parole for the 1980 murder of four American Catholic churchwomen. The sentences are the maximum allowed under Salvadoran law. The former guardsmen were also convicted of destruction of property and robbery stemming from the murder case, but will not serve extra time for those crimes because of the 30-year limit. The four churchwomen, Maryknoll Sisters lta Ford and Maura Clarke, Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel and lay volunteer Jean Donovan, were found shot to death on December 2, 1980, along a country road 15 miles from the San Salvador airport. They were last seen alive by a group of Canadian church members.

The bishops said the death penalty is not an effective deterrent because of the absence of "swift and sure punishment," the small number of those receiving a death sentence in capital offences and the nature of most capital cases. Many people use the Bible to justify vengeance, the pastoral said, but there is stronger Scriptural support for mercy and forgiveness. Rehabilitation is impossible for persons sentenced to die, the pastoral said. Life imprisonment is an alternative to capital punishment for the protection of society, it added. Other problems with capital punishment the pastoral addressed were the possibility of mistake, cruel and unusual punishment due to delays, random application of the death penalty and the "discriminatory and unfair" application of the death penalty. At the time the pastoral was issued no one had been executed in Kentucky for 22 years, hut 20 men were awaiting execution in the state. Nationwide, the pastoral noted, more than 1200 awaited execution.

Note to Islam CITY VATICAN (NC) — The Vatican has sent the world's Moslems its wishes for "happiness, prosperity and peace" at the end of Ramadan, Islam's annual month-long period of fast and prayer. The message was written by Nigerian Archbishop Francis Arinze, pro-president of the Vatican Secretariat for Non-Christians. The message noted Catholics and Moslems attempt "to guard the spiritual dimension of man and to save a place for God in the earthly cityIt also suggested Catholics and Moslems should work together "to discover what both religions have to offer of the true and the holy."

KNOW YOUR FAITH Have people's attitudes about nuclear arms changed in the past year since the US bishops issued their pastoral letter on war and peace? Ivan Kauffman received a variety of responses to this question. "It's raised consciousness on the issue," said a World War II combat veteran who is now a businessman. -Anything that can destroy like that," a priest said, "has got to have some responsibility attached to it."

In a nuclear age, what responsibility do we have for the future? People today "have the same responsibility to the future of the planet as they have for the care of their own child," Father Ernan McMullin thinks. He teaches philosophy of science.

By Katharine Bird Today "we have power over the future in ways not possible ever before, even 100 years ago," Father McMullin said. Recently he attended a conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He came away convinced anew that choices being made now have the possibility of "drastically altering the enviroment in ways that are difficult, dangerous and uncomfortable for future generations. For example: "Today we are using up natural resources in spendthrift, some-

His view, especially where That's the question I asked nuclear weapons are conof my parish members cerned, was echoed by Father James Bacik, a univer- recently, approximately one sity campus minister. "I get year after the bishops issued a strong sense that facing the their letter examining many war and peace issue today questions of a nuclear age tears many students up," and encouraging the people Father Bacik said in an inter- of the Church to work for peace.

First, as a framework for the discussion, he helps students discover that ultimately hope can be found in God; that despite the hopelessness of a situation, God's Kingdom will come with their aid. Father Bacik also alerts students to "the signals of hope in real life." Often, he explained, these involve

small efforts: 50 students attending a prayer vigil for peace or sponsoring seminars on the bishops' peace pastoral. Both priests stressed that in democracy elected officials can be influenced to be more responsive to the future by informed voters. Father McMullin commented. "We create the government and have control." Father McMullin also thinks Christians have a "special responsibility to

adopt a concerned and loving attitude" toward others. This includes children not yet born and people often considered as enemies — those living in communist nations. He thinks such an attitude can help Christians learn to think of others in making choices about how to live and what activities to pursue. It can lead to individuals and families to think about ways to conserve and preserve the earth for future generations.

a supreme moral issue here, whether these weapons can ever be used because of the tremendous destructive power they have." "It's all pretty scary," said one woman. "I've thought about it more because of the bishops' letter," she said, "but in a way I feel more helpless. Iused to picket and march during the 1960s, but I don't know if it does any good." "My main concern is with human error," the parish secretary said. "There's too much chance of human breakdown. I'm from a military family — we're the ones who get killed if there's a war."

Her husband is a real-estate investor who once worked at the Pentagon. "I'm really stymied," he said. "We're enormous spending amounts of money we could spend somewhere else." But he indicated, "I'm afraid it's a necessary evil." He added that he doesn't think the Russians can be trusted. "It was what I was feeling but couldn't put into words," a psychiatric nurse and mother said of the bishops' pastoral letter. "The symbolism of it was what mattered to me, that the Church was willing to get ivolved. It made me very proud." "I don't think men should ever have come to this place where they can just push a button and blow up everything," said an older woman with emotion. A young mother active in the peace movement said she appreciated the process the bishops went through. "I felt less alone, that there were leaders in the Church who felt as I did. It gave me hope." A priest said he had been strongly affected by the testimony of medical experts on the effects of nuclear weapons. "Anything that destroys like that," he said, "has got to have some responsibility attached to it. That's a moral issue." "I don't think my kids have paid much attention to it,"

said one father. But when I spoke with his daughter. the president of our teen club, she told me the pastoral is being discussed in her high school religion classes. "It's a big thing there." The person who supported the bishops' pastoral most strongly was a former Vietnam military officer. "When you create weapons with that much devastation, you're talking about a lot of death.

The threat of a major factory closing hung over an American city two years ago. At that time, a couple visiting from another city were struck by a homily they heard during Mass. The priest spoke of the factory, a major source of jobs in the community. He pointed to the effects the factory's closing could have on individuals who worked in the factory, on families, on the total community. The homilist focused the attention of the entire congregation on the lives of the people of that city — their need for hope, their current anxiety. The Christian community is directly concerned about these people who need hope, the priest suggested. The Christian community in that city was concerned that people's value and dignity not be lost from view as a large corporation worked toward a decision that would affect so many jobholders. The homily that Sunday was just one more reminder of the scope of Christian concerns — concerns which stretch outward into the lives of people: to the rights of the unborn; to the jobless, the hungry; to those who suffer discrimination; to those fearful of what a modern war fought with the most powerful modern weapons could mean. Recognition of the value of human life is what underlies these concerns of the Church. In their 1983 pastoral letter on war and peace, the US bishops put it this way: "At the centre of the Church's teaching on peace and at the centre of all Catholic social teaching, are the transdencence of God and the dignity of the human person. The human person is the clearest reflection of God's presence in the world;

What about the future? This presents Christians with a paradox, he said, since the Bible says not to worry about tomorrow — to be concerned about the present. But, Father McMullin continued, the Bible was speaking of a different world whose continued existence "didn't depend on human choice."

He added: "I've seen death — and I'm not sure we need to continue to learn how to kill people." What struck me as I spoke with these people was how deeply concerned they are. And I was struck by their mostly positive feelings toward the pastoral.

This week our Know Your Faith writers tackle the difficult topic of war and peace.

Katharine Bird interviews Fathers Ernan McMullin of Notre Dame and James Bacik of the University of Toledo, Ohio, about Christian responsibility for the future of the world. Father Bacik tells the KYF associate editor that he thinks the nuclear issue is so painful for many people that they are tempted to avoid the topic. Has the US bishops' peace pastoral changed your views on nuclear weapons? That's the question freelance writer Ivan Kauffman asked a number of people as he prepared to write his article this week. He was surprised by a number of the comments he heard.

Compiled by NC NEWS SERVICE

Father Ernan McMullin, professor of philosophy at Notre Dame University, says people have the same responsibility for the future of the planet as they do for their own children. Today, "we have power over the future in ways not possible ... even 100 years ago," he says.

When people disagree

When it was published in May 1983, "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response" generated intense debate in Church and in society. The long-awaited US bishops' pastoral letter on war and peace in the nuclear age was studied and discussed, praised and criticised. It is interesting to note that the bishops invited dialogue on their letter. They called the letter "a first step toward a message of peace and hope." In their letter, the bishops pointed to some universal moral principles. Then they applied those principles to specific situations, acknowledging that not all people of good will would reach the same specific conclusions they had reached. For example, all would agree that war is evil and that

a conscious effort must he made to work for peace. Those are general principles. There is room for discussion, however, on ways to avoid war. Father J. Bryan Hehir offered this example: "There is room, as the bishops acknowledged, for a vigorous debate about the 'nofirst-use' ( of nuclear weapons) proposal of the pastoral; there is no alternative to the prohibition against the direct killing of chillians in a strategy of deterrence."

What has emerged in the war and peace pastoral, and whatcontinues to be discussed in the Church today, is the question of pluralism in the Church — a variety of views on specific social issues. "On some complex social questions, the Church expects a certain diversity of views even though all hold the same universal moral principles." the US bishops said in their pastoral letter. "There is a framework of moral principles which con-

stitute the Catholic social vision; within this framework pluralism can, should and will persist," said Father Hehir. In the Catholic tradition, he continued, such "pluralism is not anarchy; it has content, limits and rules of discourse which produce a structured pluralism. The meaning of structured pluralism is being worked out in theory and practice in the postconciliar Church." Father Hehir turned to several areas of social concern for examples of what

Over and over again in the beginning of Genesis we hear the refrain: "God saw how good it was." At the end of the sixth day of creation, "God looking on everything He had made and He found it very good."

He continues: "You have made him little less than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honour. You have given him rule over the works of your hands, putting all things under his feet" (Psalm 8:4-8).

shall not be remembered or come to mind" (Isaiah 65:17). Continuing in this tradition, the New Testament author of Revelation gave this imaginative picture of the eternal city of God. "They I saw new heavens and a new earth. The former heavens and the former earth had passed away and the sea was no longer. I also saw a new Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God, beautiful as a bride prepared to meet her husband" ( 21:12 ). If the author wrote of the passing of the former universe, it was in terms of a transformation. This trans-

formation meant the elimination of all evil. It is toward a glorious destiny that we, under God, are to guide our universe. St Paul expressed the idea in

A transformation

What is the message in this? Clearly it was the basic truth that the universe is good, indeed precious. The universe is God's handiwork, It is a gift to treasure and cherish.

God entrusted this colossal yet delicate and finely tuned system to our care. He expects us not to exploit it with callous insensitivity, certainly not to vandalise and brutalise it. Instead, we are to use the universe constructively, to cherish and love it.

But "the principle

that the state has a positive. active role to play, especially in defence of the poor, is beyond question in Catholic teaching," the priest stated. Archbishop Rembert Weakland, chairman of the US bishops' committee developing a national pastoral letter on the economy, has also commented on the nature of this pluralism on social concerns of the Church. "General principles carry with them more certitude when taught by the bishops than practical applications of these same principles."

the archbishop noted in a recent address. Does this mean that the statements and pastoral letters of the bishops can be casually dismissed when they touch on specific points of public concern? In their peace pastoral, the US bishops responded this way: "The moral judgements that we make in specific cases, while not binding in conscience are to be given serious attention and consideration by Catholics as they determine whether their moral tudgements are consistent with the Gospel." There is little doubt that in the future the world's bishops will continue to issue statements on matters of public policy. Discussion and debate will continue to be heard. Jesuit Father Joseph O'Hare has urged that a "Catholic style" mark this debate. That style, he said, should entail civility and a willingness to listen to opposing viewpoints.

The Record, July 20 — 26, 1984 9

SYDNEY: David Yallop's book, In God's Name is shoddy in historical method and logic and a massively, but not very accurately researched historical novel. This is the opinion of reviewer Father John in The Parsons Catholic Weekly, Sydney. He says a good historical novel incorporates as much genuine fact about its period as possible. This lends verisimilitude to the imaginary bits which he author makes up. Four fifths of In God's Name is historically true, and would he recognised as such by anyone reasonably well acquainted with the Vatican in recent years. The heart of Mr Yallop's book, however, lies in the bits he has made up himself. These imaginings of his are given the appearance of truth by being mixed in with so much undisputed fact. This proceeding is historically', not to say morally, irresponsible. Setting aside the fact the hook is riddled with small errors betraying an ignorance of the Roman background, I observe a good historian states as fully as possible his source for every hitherto obscure or debateable tact he introduces.

Shoddy in historical method and is not accurate reviewer says

EEO Mr Yallop does none of this. He has no bibliography. He has no footnotes. He gives no sources for his grave allegations and wild hypotheses beyond the occasional assention that Sister This or Father That told him something. but even then hardly ever saying when or where. He is very shy of quotation from the numerous crucial documents which he claims to know about in detail — detail which would be convincing if it were ever produced: but it is not. Mr Yallop prefers instead to accumulate anonymous Roman rumours and curial gossip, of which two there is never a shortage in Rome. Irrespective of how inconsistent or internally contradictory this material may he. the author attempts to carry his readers with him by the sheer volume of hypothesis, assumption and allegation. Mr Yallop says there is no

adequate evidence of how the pope died, but wants us to assume he was murdered. He has no evidence of how he was murdered, hut suggests it must have been by poisoning. He has no evidence of the poison used, but presumes it was "digitalis". He doesn't know how it was administered but would have us believe it was put in the pope's bedside medicine bottle. He never discusses when the bottle was tampered with or by whom, but implies Cardinal Villot might have been the villain, or alternatively the Cardinal was in on the plot and took

away the bottle in the morning. It would all make the plot of a rather wxxl opera, with a dark lago-like aria by a bass baritone Cardinal Villot, a soprano lament from Suor Vincerwa, the pope's housekeeper, and rousing choruses of monsignori, nuns, freemasons and Swiss Guards. From the premise the six men mentioned earlier might have benefited in some way, great or small. from John Paul I's death, Mr Yallop leaps by shoddy logic to conclude one or more, and perhaps all of them conspired to kill the pope. This will not do as history.

Goldfields grocer's boy overcame late start to become one

Phillip Rennell Adams, CMG, LLM, QC, was born at Menzies on September 24, 1908, and attended various state schools and convents before having to leave formal education through force of circumstances at the age of 13 to help his father run a store. When he was 18 he decided driving a horse and delivery cart and serving behind the counter was not for him. He wanted to be a professional man. The aspiration was threatened with negation because his peremptory departure from the classroom five years before had robbed him of the education qualification necessary to pursue tertiary studies. But the Christian Brothers at CBC Terrace, with characteristic perception of c haracter and potential ability, made special arrangements for him. At the age of 20 he passed his Junior Certificate e xamination and a year later he matriculated with a good Leaving result. It was to be the start of a notable career at the University of WA, in the profession of law and in the wartime Army. Phil Adams is a member of the Star of the Sea parish at Cottesloe. Positions he has held include being chairman of the inquiry into the State's liquor laws which produced the present Liquor Act, chairman of the Mining Act inquiry committee, chairman of the inquiry into Northern Territory liquor laws, chairman of the 1974 committee that inquired into gambling in WA and recommended the establishment of a casino at Exmouth, adviser to the Fiji government on property laws there, counsel to the WA Government on iron ore agreements, being honorary consul for West Germany, chairman of the Environmental Protection Authority and the writer of two authoritative books — one on income tax and the other on the law relating to company directors. He was deputy-chairman of the Murdoch University planning board, the University's first pro-chancellor and president of the Law Society from 1962-64. His four children, all from his first marriage, are John, a partner in the law firm of Stone James as his father was; Richard, a land agent; Margo (Mrs Rob K ay); and Patty. His first wife died in 1973 and he later married Elaine, widow of prominent Perth publican, Roy Paxton.

"It's going to be a hard row for the lad to hoe," said the percipient Brother Paddy ConIan, principal of CBC Terrace, to the boy's f ather that day in 1928. The comment tended towards under -statement. The strapping Phillip Rennell Adams would turn 20 that year and he hadn't been to school since he was 1 3. To all intents he was a man and not a boy. Theyears of hard work helping his father to run the store had filled out the muscle on the tall frame. His fellow-students years would be younger than he. They would lack his experience of the adult world and be given more to the things of boys than to the affairs of men. These thoughts could well have been running through the mind of Brother Conlan as he heard of the ambition of young Adams to get both his Junior and Leaving certificates in as short a time as possible and matriculate, to enter the university. Perhaps the sheer audacity of the proposition appealed to him, and he liked the cut of the lad's jib. Besides, he did have one card — certainly not an ace — up his sleeve. Two of the 1928 CBC students — one a little older and the other slightly younger than Phil — were aspirants to the priesthood who had left school early and would require special attention in their studies. Phil might make the duo into a trio. And thus it came about. The three together got their heads down into their books and absorbed the torrent of knowledge the brothers poured over them. They could not afford to spend time at sport, pranks or other schoolboy distractions. It was study, study, study. Phil got his Junior Certificate at the end of 1928. By strict adherence to the same exacting regimen in the following year, he

Defence lawyer says 'no case' • From page 3. But if the "suspects" have no case to answer, Mr Galbally thinks the book has. He's out to convict it by his own investigations into its data and logic. He picks up the book again and continues. This time he talks about the autopsy that wasn't. "Mr Yallop says there was no autopsy and that is true," he said. "But it is very rare for there to be an autopsy on any pontiff. "The author also says you cannot determine a person died of a heart attack unless he has a previous history of heart ailments and unless he

has been pronounced dead by the people treating him. "Much of that is true. However, we have the testimony of two eminent physicians who examined his body and declared the cause of death was heart failure. "Now according to medical and forensic experts that was a normal and proper enunciation to make unless there were indications otherwise. "In this case there was not the slightest evidence to suggest that. "So the author is faced as a prosecutor with the giant and unanswerable obstacle by asserting death by poison

The Record, July 20 — 26, 1984

Seeking a conviction when he says we don't know what caused the death." Mr Galbally added 90 per cent of the book was devoted to alleged corruption within or connected with the Vatican. "There is no need to examine all these allegations. But even assuming — in the author's favour — that these allegations are correct, they in no way provide the slightest evidence for murder. "All they do is to scandalise, through the most criminal accusations against six peo-

ple, some of whom are dead and can't answer the charges. "These alleged scandals are no more than his vehicle for conjecture and not for logical reasoning or conclusion. "David Yallop says in answer to all this that all those alleged scandals provide a motive for these six people to murder the pope. "Even accepting again this proposition and giving as much as I can, fairly, to the author, the fact a person has a motive or even a desire the

pope should not reign is far away from the fact of one or other of those persons conspiring to murder the pontiff. "It may be said of many of us in our community we desire another prime minister but that is a long way from saying we would be prepared to murder the man in office." Mr Galbally seemed angry about David Yallop's treatment of Father John Magee, the man who was secretary to Pope John Paul I: "Mr Yallop has admitted to me Father Magee was one of the most important witnesses. Yet throughout three years

of so-called research he failed himself to interview Father Magee. "David Yallop's assertion on ABC radio and Nationwide that Father Magee has been lying for six years is an hysterical and completely false accusation and one which I told him was outrageous. "I know Father Magee and I have spent hours talking with him. As most Catholics would know, Father Magee was brought from the mission fields to act as secretary to the pontiff. "That assertion by the author completely destroys his own credibility."

Much sought after by the political leaders in the NT and WA

A regular feature By BOB BOYLE passed his Leaving Certificate examination and matriculated. In 1930 he started his law studies at the University of WA in the shabby huddle of Irwin Street buildings affectionately known as Tin Pan Alley. Frank Beasley was Dean of the Faculty of Law and Phil was also fortunate in his other professors — the inimitable Murdoch in English, the brilliant Shann in economics and the ebullient Alexander in modern political institutions.

It was just as well for the student that he had formed disciplined study habits in his two years at CBC because in addition to his university work he was articled to the law firm of Stone James — in which he later became a senior partner — and studying successfully for his Bar Association examinations. He took an honours LI.B. degree in 1 934 (he was later to obtain a Master of Laws) and was admitted to the Bar in April, 1935. Despite the daunting work load, he had found time for some sport at the university. In 1932 he was a member of the last WA crew to win the Oxford and Cambridge Cup, the annual national inter -varsity rowing highlight. He was No 3 in the boat, John Lavan (later a Supreme Court judge and now Sir John) was No 2 and in the bow seat was Bill Keall, who afterwards became prominent in Perth legal circles. The engineering and science students who comprised the remainder of the crew were heard to mutter

• From page 6 In the last three weeks I have visited three African countries: Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Ethiopia has the most horrific problems both in supply and distribution; and the hundreds of thousands of people, men, women and children, who literally face starvation can easily become a statistic which will simply daunt us. They make us feel it is all beyond assistance. But I have seen these people face to face: they are like you and me, with hopes from life, ambitions for their children, looking with anxious eyes for the grain which has not come, the food which may arrive and the life which may yet know restoration. They are not emergency beggars, simply wanting a handout, but our fellow Christians identified with Jesus Christ. In Kobbo, in the Wollo province of Ethiopia. they cried out, "In the name of jCSUS; in the name of Mary, give us something to eat." It is hard to know how to emphasise the urgency of that situation, reflected in the mirage of heat which hangs over much of equatorial Africa for though I visited only countries on the eastern side of the continent. places like Ghana and Upper Volta, where the great Volta Lake has dwindled to an extended mud pool, reveal the western side of the continent is facing similar difficulties. In Tanzania, with a Catholic president who enjoys wide popularity and witnesses daily to his faith, there are also hungry people

On the spot in Africa

in many parts of the country. But its problems are more in the logistics of distribution than in actual shortages. The old colonial infrastructure of roads and railways was not geared to feeding the local inhabitants so much as developing the empire. Areas with a surplus find it hard to send supplies to the needy areas. Zimbabwe reveals an additional problem. but one well known to many African

/Warns QC atop lawyer and adviser to Governments darkly at times of the garrulous legal mob up at the sharp end of the boat." In that Depression year of 1932, crew members wee hard put to raise the 30 pounds each necessary to get themselves and their boat to Hobart for the Oxford and Cambridge Cup by the cheapest means possible, which happened to be by ship with their precious boat lashed down on the deck. The WA men were quartered at Huonville, out of Hobart and away from the other crews. Because little had been seen of their pre-race form, they started as rank outsiders. So poorly were their chances held, the publican of the hotel at which they were staying had no difficulty in getting odds of 50 to 1 for the ten pounds ($20) he put on them to win. They won by five lengths. The elated publican spent most of the 500 pounds of his windfall ($1000) in buy-

ing grog for the crew and all and sundry in one of the most raucous and extended celebrations the Depression had witnessed. At the outbreak of war Phil held the rank of lieutenant in the machine gun section of the 28th Battalion militia, and a little later was very keen to join the 2/4th Machine Gun Battalion of the AIF. However, his major was given the transfer instead and he was ordered to stay with the 28th as a captain. It was just as well for him because the 2/4th went "into the bag" at the fall of Singapore and many of its members died grim deaths as prisoners-of -war. He was promoted to major and appointed 13th Brigade machine gun officer before doing a staff and command course at the Royal Military College, Duntroon, and shortly afterwards became an instructor at the staff school there.

He was posted to New Guinea as brigade major of the 14th Brigade in the tough Buna-Gona campaign which he saw through to the bitter end. He was then brigade major of Ginger Force which held Goodenough Island in the f ace of two Japanese attempts to take it. His next move was to Milne Bay, and then to Dobodura as G2 of the 11th Division. In 1944, when the New Guinea war was just about over, he was placed on the R eserve of Officers and returned to Stone James in Perth. In 1965 he retired from the firm to go to the Bar, and in 1967 he was appointed a Queen's Counsel. With independence from Britain imminent, the Government of Fiji asked him to advise on the property laws of that country. It was a task that extended over three years, entailed numerous trips between Fiji

and Perth and led — among other statutes — to the Probate Act and Wills Act in Fiji. About this time, too, Phil was "in" on an exciting era in WA history as adviser to the State Government on the iron ore agreements, and played a part in their preparation and settlement. In 1979 the late Sir Arthur Griffith, then Minister for Justice, asked Phil to chair an inquiry into the State's liquor laws. For six months Phil and f ellow members of the inquiry, John Ahearn and Mrs Clarke, visited the State's major towns gathering evidence. They came up with a widely -acclaimed report which led to the present Liquor Act. It embodied relaxation of the more vexatious aspects of the former liquor laws. Some of its results can be seen in things such as licensed restaurants, free-

dom to take your own liquor to unlicensed restaurants, the tavern system, the issue of permits to sell liquor to people running entertainments, permits for late trading in hotels, and the serving of liquor in live theatres. In 1970 Phil was appointed chairman of the Mining Act inquiry with the assistance of the former Under -Secretary for Mines, the late Bert Telfer, and magistrate Arthur Kay. This was another sixmonth job which took the three men the length and breadth of the State. From it, by a prolonged birth process, sprang the new Mining Act which has only recently been proclaimed. The year 1973 saw Phil as chairman of the committee of inquiry into the liquor laws of the Northern Territory assisted by Haynes Leader, a former NT magistrate, and Pastor Paul Albrecht, son of the founder

of the Hermansburg Mission. The committee duly submitted its report, but for a decade it has not been acted on as it gathers the dust of political fall-out. In 1974 Phil was the chairman of the Royal Commission into gambling in WA a ssisted by Messrs F.A. Yeates and J.B. Morrison. Among its recommendations were the establishment of one casino in the State, to be located at Exmouth, and the allowing of gambling to raise money for charity. From time to time, this report is taken out, dusted off and put back in the political pigeon hole. Phil had a long association with the Environmental Protection Authority, of which he was chairman at the time of his retirement in 1982. During his EPA days the State was surveyed by various committees to set up national parks.

countries — an influx of people displaced and seeking refuge. Many are fleeing from conflicts they do not share, or are running before the shadow of the drought itself. Mozambicans in Zimbabwe are a tragic example or the effect of both human and natural disasters. In one area about 58 kilometres from Harare, a group of about 1.300 appeared. mostly naked, and having walked as much as five days inside their own country to cross the border into the safety of their neighbour. It was local Christian action which established a camp for them, and a distant parish, hearing of their plight, has been collecting donations to relieve the Mozambicans' distress. But it is at the personal level that we ought to picture the effects of this present natural and human tragedy. Many Africans to whom I spoke were prompt to say much of the difficulty was man-made. Bad management, eroded lands caused by primitive farming methods, depleted stock, a shortage of seeds, a lack of irrigation, to name only a few. Christian leadership, however, is eager to solve many of these problems. Recognising the emergency, they also wanted to stress that they hoped we, in Australia, would help them with thein continuing needs, so those who are in such destitution now might well be feeding themselves in the years to come. Then the story of the students' hostel, where the children came in after the students had eaten their meal, and crawled about under the tables to pick up the crumbs would not be told with such pathos. Lest we misinterpret the dear Lord's remark, "It is not right to cast that which is holy to the dogs," it is marvellous to remember the Syro-Phonenician woman's response, "But even the dogs pick up the crumbs which fall from the rich man's table." And after all, we are the rich at this time.

Youth Forum

A ministry to Let's go again young people

This is the story of how one parish, Banyo, Brisbane, launched a successful ministry to youth. It is told with an appealing freshness by one of the youth ministry team, MRS RITA ROBINSON. She has expanded on points she made at a recent archdiocesan Pastoral Council. Mrs Robinson became involved in the youth ministry when two of her five children reached their teens.

During the last meeting of St Mary's Parish Council it was decided, after some discussion, to bring to your attention, what, in the consideration of members of the council, was very inappropriate material in the issue April 26-May 2nd 1984 of 'The Record' on page 14 'Record Kids Club'. The article referred to. which is enclosed, is a review of newly published books. In particular the promotion of the book 'Spooks' by Colin and Jacquie Hawkins was considered to be most unsuitable when directed towards children in whom Christian principles were being instilled. The council fully appreciates that this is purely fictional material, nevertheless, it is felt that when dealing with emerging spirituality and the establishment of the young intellect and personality it is essential to clearly define what is stated in God's divine word, to help children learn When Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Olives, one of His friends pulled out his sword, waved it that God's Holy Spirit has been in the air and cut off a guard's ear. "Put your sword back where it belongs," Jesus rebuked His friend. given to them at Baptism and "Those who use the sword are sooner or later destroyed by it.

A look at books Compiled by Roslyn Ross. Spreading the Word, groundings in the philosophy of language, by Simon Blackburn, published by Oxford Univershy Press, $24.50. Lively and informally written, individual chapters in this comprehensive introduction introduce students to topics such as meaning, rule-following, conventions, realism, truth and reference, with constant emphasis on an appreciation of the place of the problems in a wider philosophical and intellectual context. For students of philosophy and thoseinterested in the history of philosophy and the philosophy of science, linguistics, psychology and information science. Handbook Of Trees and Shrubs, by Julie Grace, published by SunPapermac, $19.95. The final book in the Sun Garden series tells in plain language how to recognise over 2400 trees and shrubs: how to cultivate and propagate them successfully; how to select for height, colour, flowering season and hardiness. More than 400 black and white photographs as well as new colour plates, illustrate the text. For the home garnner, as for the professional horticulturist, the book is a goldmine of inspiration.

icafly, reflecting both the drama of world events such as wars and drepression, and the course of domestic events of every social and economic development. As a result Australian society has rarely been free of racial or cultural tensions. Almost every group from the convicts and the Irish to the Italian and Vietnamese have faced some form of opposition. The book highlights all aspects of our migrant experience from the 19th century Chinese 'invasion to the hostel riots of 1952 and the present climate that fosters cultural diversity. 'There goes the neighbourhood!' presents a rich picture of a nation in the making. Violent Phenomena in the Universe, by Jayant Narlikar, published by Oxford University Press, $9.90. Why do stars explode? How good are black holes as energy machines? Do white holes exist? What, if anything, existed before the Big Bang? Jayant Nirlikar's clear and lively narrative enables us to share the excitement and controversy that such questions provoke,

Search for Peter

The Bones Of Saint Peter, by John Evangelist Walsh, published by William Collins, $6.95. When the man named Simon Peter was brutally executed, some 1,915 years ago in Rome. there passed away one of that small band of historical personalities who deserve to rank as monumental. In history's roll of the great in all fields — religionists, statesmen, philosophers, conquerors, educators, scientists — few others can have lived a life similarly fraught, for so long, with such constant, portentous drama. Beginning so obscurely, so humbly, was anyone before or since ever burdened with so weighty and improbable a task? Assuredly, no other has continued, ages after the earth closed over him, to command such deep regard

The Bones of St Peter tells the fascinating account of the search for the Apostle's body. John Evangelist Walsh relates the exciting story of the discovery of the graveyard, the investigations that followed, and the se-arch for the truth about the contents of the secret early Christian tomb that was found beneath the high altar.
