Father Brian Gore says he went back to the Philippines two years ago because the opponents of the Church would otherwise have said the shepherd ran away when the wolves moved in on the flock. "I could have stayed home. Iwas asked to stay home. But when there were tensions and trouble, I had an obligation to the people," said the priest who has been deluged with calls to appear on radio and television throughout Australia. "I asked the Columban superiors for an extension of time to complete my programme with the people. If trouble was comingI should be there. "I thought there would be trouble but I had no idea where it would lead. The worst things are the rumours and the threats made to the people not to go around with the priest. 'When the priest leaves we are going to fill your heead with lead' some of them were told. "This was the main weapon to alienate the priest from the people. But they could not separate us even in gaol. It was a victory for the Church of Negros and the whole of the Philippines." Father Gore said. Asked about the future of his parish of Orengao and nearby Kabankalan that recently were handed over by the Columbans to the local clergy he said: "The struggle ahead for the Church and the associations will be a confrontation — or dialogue — with the revolutionary movement. I feel confident the Filipino priests are going to handle it better than I. It's Filipino to Filipino. "It's a matter of nationalism; no matter how well meaning the foreigner he is still a "stranger in his father's house" no matter how much you want to be part of it. "Also it takes the edge off the military accusation that you are an interfering foreigner. Now they have an interfering Filipino.

Father Brian Gore got a warm welcome of applause in St Mary's Cathedral on Tuesday night when Archbishop Foley presented him to the enthusiastic congregation that assembled at short notice. Above he is pictured receiving the sign of peace from Archbishop Foley, flanked by Archbishop Goody who along with Bishops McKeon and • Cord page 3 Healy and Columban and other priests concelebrated the Mass.

Among the well-wishers who flocked around Father Gore after the Mass were several Filipinos. At a Columban farewell f or Fathers Gore and O'Brien and attended by Cardinal Sin, priests and many media people, Father Gore tried to explain that since he had spent 15 of his 16 years as a priest there, the Philippines would always be part of him. "It is part of my whole being. It is in my blood and not even dialysis will clean it out," he said. There was a cheer and laughter around the room. Next day the newspaper left just a trail of dots in place of one word Father Gore had used. Dialysis is the treatment President Marcos is supposed to receive for his mysterious illness

De factosi The Australian Bishops Conference has reacted to Prime Minister Hawke over the r ecent ALP conference acceptance of abortion and has made public its opposition earlier this year to parliamentary de facto travel allowances. In a letter to Prime Minister Hawke, Archbishop Rush of Brisbane, president of the bishops' conference, said the ALP policy still puts pressure on the consciences of members who disagree with it, and that the burden of proof is on people who say the embryo is not human.

We believe that the supporters of a right to abortion make themselves part of a strange "Establishment" which, in the name of a right to choose, flies in the face of proven scientific facts and denies the right of the most defenceless human beings.

flashback • From page 1 The time was for the Filipino to do it in the Philippines and maybe for the foreigner to go back home. "We have to build a nicer image of the Philippine Church for the Australian people. A rather negative view has come out of the case and there is danger the public will identify the Filipino people with the Philippine government. "The future of the Church in Asia lies with the basic Christian communities, with people wrestling with the issues of the day, identifying with the gospel and asking what is the gospel in this situation. "It is an exciting area but fraught with danger, the possibility of death and a tremendous suffering for the Church in the Philippines." he said. See Father Gore's homily page 10

CITY VATICAN (NC) — Alessandro Natta, newly elected head of Italy's Communist Party, told Vatican Radio in a historic interview the party and the Catholic Church share some values, particularly regarding freedom, peace and morality.

". . . . I told the nuns their prayers were doing no good. They were praying for my release, but in the gaol there were 200 prisoners praying I would not leave them and the nuns were losing."

It was the first time in the station's 53-year-old history Vatican Radio had interviewed an Italian Communist Party chief. Natta was elected on June 26 to suceed Enrico Berlinguer, who died of a stroke. He is a history professor and intellectual who is regarded as one of the Italian Communist Party's chief theoreticians. Interviewed at Rome's Communist Party headquarters, Natta said religion can serve "as a point of strength, of incentive" for those concerned about freedom. morality and peace. Zer ///7/

morals policy under attack people who assert that the embryo is not human. Until they prove their case they have no right to run the risk of killing a human being. Four years ago the Australian Catholic bishops wrote: "There is no human being so defenceless as an unborn child. Yet there is none at greater risk in Australia today. Statistically, the most dangerous place for an Australian in 1980 is a mother's womb." What was true in 1980 is more obviously true in 1984. The March 9 letter to the Rumuneration Tribunal reads: "I write to you concerning submissions made to the Remuneration Tribunal by the Special Minister of State, Mr Mick Young, in July 1983, and by the Honourable Kim Beazley, the then Minister of State, in December of the same year.

RECORD CLASSIFIEDS close noon W ednesday

Each submission concerns the rights of Members of Parliament to draw on overseas study allowances. As I understand it, Mr Young's submission has recommended in effect that the Tribunal should vary the conditions applying to overseas study allowances to enable Members of Parliament to be accompanied by their "de facto" partners.

"de facto spouses" — an issue that affects the whole Australian community. With respect to Mr Beazley's submission, we understand that he informed the Tribunal that two decisions had been made by Government, which entitled the nominees of Parliamentary Members to travel at official expense.

Reference

Submission

Archbishop Rush

It is not entirely clear from that submission what is meant by the phrase: "a de facto relationship" as it applies to a Member "with his/her nominee". Nevertheless, even if the recommendation is intended to embrace only those persons who are "de facto spouses", as defined in the Sex Discrimination Bill 1983, we strongly oppose it. In our view, such a recommendation improperly equates a "de facto" relationship with the dignity and

propriety afforded to the state of marriage. It thereby denigrates the institution of marriage which of its nature does not tolerate such a loose and non-committed arrangement between persons. It is our view that it is wholly inappropriate for a Tribunal, established to determine the remuneration to be paid to Parliamentarians and public office-holders, to lend its authority to the resolution of so important a social issue as the rights to be accorded

This submission introduced a term of reference: "a bona fide domestic relationship", new to us and also unclear, which may or may not be equated with a "de facto relationship". However, from our understanding of its intention, we believe that the implications of this phrase are neither socially acceptable to the people of Australia nor acceptable to us on social and moral grounds. Whatever the Government may mean by the words it uses, we wish it to be clear

that we strongly oppose granting the same travel rights to the "de facto" spouses as are granted to married spouses. Again, we would see it as inappropriate for the Tribunal to lend its authority to this implied downgrading of marriage. We believe it is the place of Governments to stabilise the family which is, we consider, the basic unit of our society.

The Record, July 27 — 2 August, 1984

Rehecord The visit of Mrs Mary Whitehouse and the re-opening of issues she draws into public debate could not have been preceded by a more provocative question than why some 20 people are now dead in the wild California shoot out. Especially Catholics who might be tempted to stand aside from the questions would have been brought back to reality by the news photograph of the gunman's widow being escorted by a religious sister from the requiem mass for the victims which she bravely attended. Everyone of course wants an instant answer to such shattering and maningless violence and the inconsistency of the news reports did not help — some asserting and denying, the gunman's Vietnam war service, drug taking etc. as factors. The only certain fact seemed to be that he had lost his job and if he was on the way out he would take others with him. The death has even shocked the death-prone American scene to the extent that a mass produced fast food restaurant is likely to be a monumental memory like some bizarre link between the consumer society and the meaningless destruction of life on the streets. The terrible killings, however, are only the base on which a lot of other contradictory arguments are constructed because it was inevitable that an item like this would be beamed virtually to every television set in the world. Like it or not, the details of the shoot-out and the victims scattered across the roads became prime time viewing for everyone from babes through to the elderly because watching the news on television is one of society's acceptable rituals. Not all such violence is equal. Tens, hundreds of even thousands can die in natural tragedies or in civil war feuds or equally deliberate massacres but they are not all worthy of top-rating if the marketing channels of radio and television are not instantly available. No wonder the Third World countries wonder at the mysterious process by which events are chosen to become world news. They rarely get a mention, they say. By a co-incidence in the same week television cameras were bringing back pictures and stories of the maciated bodies of only a few of the millions of Africans who are at death's door through drought and failure to halt the decline of food production. Yet for this programme, and not the California shootings, some senitive director in the ABC felt it appropriate to warn the presumably family viewing audience that some of the scenes might upset people. While the announcement was well meant, it raises the question about what determines obscenity of a child's body that is only a skeleton or a near dead body in a mother's arms, compared with victims of a shoot out. The dilemma is compounded when the same family audience tries to find out why the massacre of people at a restaurant or the virtual massacres of millions through starvation is horrific because it is shown in the news segment when only a few minutes later children and adults will sit bug-eyed for hours while bullets ricochet around the lounge room, corpses lie sprawled in the wake of wild police battles and bodies thump and sag as villains and heroes pummel each other into oblivion. It's only entertainment, they say, as they race for food snacks during the commercial break. But real life is different ... As reports elsewhere in this issue indicate, the matter is not thereby settled. Mary Whitehouse has wide support for her view that television violence spawns the social violence that is overtaking us. Other sober opinions claim that the violence is coming from deeper disturbances in mankind and not from television. The entertainment industry sits on the fence and treats it like working off excess energy shouting at football teams in the arena. While the researchers go endlessly around the cause and effect link between portrayed violence and the real violence the ordinary person is never likely to read the impossibly worded reports yet still frets over the simple questions that have disturbed humans from the beginning of time. It is no longer safe to walk the streets at night in any urban environment. But is this new? Was it only a temporary truce that rid our highways of the robbers and bandits who have plagued history and walking home after the last tram was fun? Even Jesus built one of his most powerful lessons around a bandit attack on a lonely road. Thousands have been killed and maimed in the wars past and the present but it makes it no easier to understand why five people going about their business in a car are suddenly deaths in a road toll statistic that it intended to strick horror into the driving public, but with little success. In today's complex society it is not possible to argue some of these questions because no two people agree which violence is more horrific than the other and therefore should be stamped out with all the forces that can be mustered by governments. It is a Babel of misunderstanding and argument at cross purposes because the basis on which one human being should respect another has been subjected to the forces of supply and demand. The value of a body is only how badly one human being needs another. The tribe has lost control of these destructive forces whether it be abortion and desecration of embryos, the starvation of millions, the ripping apart of children's love in divorce, the consignment of thousands to war, the permissible destruction by road or drugs, pornography and sexual abuse; the list is endless. Jesus tried to make us face that fundamental truth when he wondered if we were not just as precious to the Father as a flower in the field. It seems not.

Busy times in Perth for visiting morals

A t WAIT this week Mrs Mary Whitehouse makes a point vigorously alongside panel members Mr John Fiske of WAIT, Sister Veronica Brady of the ABC, and Mr John Smythe of England.

When there are grossly violent and pervertedly sexual videos on the market as today there is no way in this world to be sure children will not see them. This was the message of Mrs Mary Whitehouse at a panel seminar at WAIT marking the beginning of her two week Australian tour. Mrs Whitehouse punctuated her talk with examples of children being affected by violent videos.

A need fora change

She traced her 21 year campaign that had changed her from a senior school mistress into a figure who for 11 years was banned from television except for ridicule in sketches. She noted also her involvement in pioneer sex education programmes. F-1The face of a morals campaigner ... some of the expressions of These laid down "sex Mrs Mary Whitehouse as she stresses points during her debate education must be at the WAIT panel session. given on the basis of chastity before marthis reflects life riage and fidelity therefore it is justiwithin and that parfied. ents were those responsile for such "As a result, we moved education." from television into other issues with Violence results such as in the The link between television mirror of life because there Child Protection Act violence and social violence are other formative forces at Citing a link between and the Indecent was questioned by Mr John home, work and recreation social violence and Display Act."

society. The society's attitudes were possibly because of the gaps between the haves and t he have-nots, and not because of television. Changing television would not necessarily change society, he said.

Proper control is not to be equated with censorship which is an emotive and dirty word especially where governments suppress or distort the truth. This was one of two points made to the WAIT panel by English lawyer John Smythe QC, who has consuccessful ducted prosecutions in England and who is travelling with Mrs Whitehouse. "To control that which distorts truth is not censorship. "Gross videos distort the truth in the minds of most who watch them," he said. "Those who peddle pornography and violence distort the tnith. "Children and lots of adults don't have the necessary defences." Mr Smythe said it is necessary to protect the mind as well as the body. There are laws to protect reputations and bodies yet the mind is the most vulnerable of all. There is legislation against drugs which do greater harm to the mind than the body. Also against sub-liminial advertising, all because the damage is likely to be permanent. He said the mind is more vulnerable in the home where already there is legislation to protect individuals from incest and assault. Praising the WA government move eliminating X videos, he asked if the R category was still not a device for legalising obscenity and pornography because once a person possesses it they cannot be prosecuted. He also said the permission of certain material in "fleeting glimpses" was vastly different in a cinema show ing from those shown in the home where violent segments could be played and replayed at will. He also questioned why the February 1 Commonwealth regulations left the matter of gravity to be judged "in the opinion of the attorney general".

campaigners

Facing a grave problem Sister Veronica Brady, a director of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, said society faced grave moral problems in pornography; she did not agree with a focus on only one kind of evil. She referred to the difficulty of defining the nature of evil as such. Evil had to be related to the question of human choice and the call to do good. Evil is that which destroys our ISister Veronica Brady ... took part in WAIT sense of dignity. panel "Television pornography may contribute to this not because it focuses on sex but it because degrades human beings," she said. She suggested also television violence and sex are the symptoms and not the cause of the which disease afflicts society One cause may be that in the world today, the rich are getting richer and that divOccur isions between those who are supposed to be good and others. Racism and war mongering were greater evils than interest in pornographic sex, she said, referring to a recent statement by United States bishops who attacked the evils of poverty and war as well as the perversion of sexuality. Turning to the media, Sister Veronica said not enough attention was paid

to censorship exercised over matters such as Aboriginal land rights. This is immoral, she said because it was happening against people who are

being degraded in our midst. She said a solution would be found not by focussing on just one evil but on all evils based on injustice.

A wider use of Fre() mission

Opening Stella Mans Centre facilities to the wider Catholic community means the centre will be offering more real and not artificial hospitality to seafarers and bringing about a wholesome meeting between the two groups.

This is Fremantle port chaplain Father Sean O'Shea's view of the offer of the new extended facilities at Fremantle to any Catholic group, parish or organisation or family. "It will show the visiting seafarer it is a place that is alive, where something is happening. He wants to be where something is happening, not where there are empty rooms, or under-used facilities." Father O'Shea explained how a change in shipping necessitated increasing the accommodation at the Stella Mans Club which is not always in full demand. "Ships have fast turnarounds and at intervals big numbers of seafarers come ashore demanding full use of our facilities, but at other times shipping is slack and the facilities are not in use. "We can't bring the facilities on stream just when this happens and I am not talking of the arrival of naval vessels. Also it does not warrant having staff if the use is at intermittent intervals."

Free education of stereotypes VATICAN CITY (NC) — Religious education should be free of stereotypes about Christians and Jews, Pope John Paul II told leaders of an international Christian-Jewish group. In a 10-minute address in English, the pope said he identified with the group's concern "that the images which each of us projects of the other should be really free of stereotypes and prejudices, that they should respect the other's identity." Pope John Paul also noted the importance of teaching history accurately "given the sad and entangled common history of Jews and Christians — a history which is not always taught or transmitted correctly." Pope John Paul said Christians and Jews share a "rich common religious inheritance." That

inheritance includes monotheism and faith in a god who "as a loving father takes care of humankind and chose Abraham and the prophets and sent Jesus into the world," he said. Christians and Jews also share "a common basic liturgical pattern and in a common consciousness of our commitment, grounded in faith, to all men and women in need, who are our neighbours," Pope John Paul said. The pope praised the council's work in bringing young Christians and Jews "to live, talk, sing and pray together." He said such efforts contribute to the creation of a new generation commited to serving others without prejudice. "World peace is built in this modest, apparently insignificant and limited, but, in the end, very efficient way," Pope John Paul said. The pope also encouraged joint biblical and theological studies.

They can be inspected this Sunday from 1 pm. The Stella Mans bus will also leave every half hour on short trips around the inner harbour to show where ships are visited. "I never visit a ship without giving out literature." said Father O'Shea in appeal for any wholesome reading matter secular as well as religious. Spanish literature is in demand.

Briefs: ROME: Cardinal Johannes WilleEbrands, head of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, defended Pope John Paul's reiteration of papal primacy during the Pope's speech to the World Council of Churches. "It is not possible for us to speak without showing our face. "The pope said with great modesty and with great clarity, what is for Catholics the position of the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Peter, who conserves the tradition of the faith of the Apostles Peter and Paul and guarantees the truth and orthodoxy of this faith," said Cardinal Willebrands in an interview with Vatican Radio. E PEKING: In an interview in a Peking Ddaily paper, Bishop Michael Fu Tieshan of the Chinese Patriotic Church has said it is too soon to have any dialogue between the Vatican and China because there is not the slightest sign of any change in the Vatican's policies in relation to China.

He was arrested on June 30 by uniformed militiamen when the group went to pray on a hillside outside the village. Father Villasanta was found guilty of participating in a prohibited religious demonstration by a fudge in Citluk. Yugoslavia, and was fined the equivalent of about $50 and released. He returned to Italy on July 3. The hillside is the site at which six young villagers in June, 1981, began reporting the apparitions of Mary. The Yugoslavian government has closed the site to visitors, while allowing pilgrimages to the nearby St James Church in Mediugorje. Franciscan priests who run the church have said the youths continue to report seeing the visions and conversing with Mary. The youths pray daily in a small chapel inside St James Church. Thousands of people have visited Medfugorje each year since the visions were first reported.

The bishops said they were worried that "a number of new arrests for political reasons" would bring "new tensions". "Curing that situation requires creating a new political climate that would remove the sources of tensions and repressions," they said in a statement issued after a bishops' meeting. The bishops also said they were asking the Government to release its 600 political prisoners, some of whom have never been tried.

A US people policy

WASHINGTON (NC) — A proposed White House position paper on population policy rejects abortion as a form of population control and attributes poor nations' problems to adverse economic policies, not population growth. "The United Nations' Declaration of the Rights of the Child calls for legal protection for children before birth as well as after,' the paper says. "The United States accordingly does not consider

abortion an acceptable element of family planning programmes and will not contribute to those of which it is part." The paper adds, "Efforts to lower population growth in cases in which it is deemed advisable to do must, moreover, respect the religious beliefs and culture of each society." The paper also rejects "compulsion of coercion in family planning programmes...."

Terrible affects of arms race

Om starvin each year

ROME ( NC) — World tensions augmented by the arms race have undermined efforts to help people suffering from hunger in the developing nations, according to Fides, news agency of the Vatican Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples. "A million dollars is being spent every minute for arms, so that, while people are lacking bread, each inhabitant of the earth is being assured a package of almost three tons of explosives," said the Fides article. Fides said if five per cent of arms spending were used to aid the hungry, "the scourge of famine would be overcome." About 40 million people, including 14.6 million children, die each year from sicknesses caused by malnutrition. "Another 300 million young people under the age of 15 do not have sufficient nourishment, and thus their physical integrity for adult life is compromised," the article said.

RUSSIA'S FLYING DOCTOR MOSCOW: Or Vladimir Rozhnov is reportedly "commuting" between Moscow and Gorki by special plane to t reat Sakharov in the Semashko Regional Hospital. Or Rozhnov is head of the psychotherapy unit of the Moscow central advanced training institute for doctors. He is known in the Soviet medical world for his popularisation of the use of hypnosis in various branches of medicine, not only psychotherapy but also dentistry and midwifery. He has published copiously in his field.

"Not even Third World countries are exempt from this industry of death," Fides said. The article said developing nations account for 16 per cent of the global spending on the arms race. The term Third World refers to the developing nations of Africa, Asia and Latin America Since the end of World War II there have been 150 wars and local conflicts, almost all of them in poor countries, which victimised 32 million people, Fides said. It asked Catholics in developed countries to contribute to relief agencies and to help create a spirit of greater solidarity by the developed world toward the Third World. "The Church carries on an irreplaceable role in the work of a wakening the human and Christian conscience.

BRUSSELS — The Church should begin looking at people who do not fit into traditional Church structures as pastoral opportunities rather than problems, a prominent Belgian catechist said. Christiane Brusselmans, professor of pastoral catechetics at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium, said the Church should make more of an effort to reach people who don't conform to the model of a good Catholic.

Charisma handicap BRUSSELS: Pope John Paul ll's media appeal often counteracts his support for collegiality, says Belgian Cardinal Leo Jozef Suenens, 79. who was one of the framers of the Second Vatican Council's call for shared authority in the Church. "John Paul II is very keen on Vatican II. He quotes it all the time," said Cardinal Suenens, retired archbishop of Brussels. But the pope's style and personality keeps him in the forefront, he noted. Because he is so charismatic, "he creates the impression that only the pope exists," the cardinal said. Cardinal Suenens faulted the media for the situation. "The pope doesn't deny collegiality," he said. 'Whenever he goes to a country, he asks the bishops what to stress. Television, however, does not concentrate on the bishops, only on the pope." The cardinal added the pope's stress on authority — he insists on "strong principles" and "wants normal rules to be obeyed" — does not run counter to collegiality.

A glimmer of light leads on

For an hour, Mike sat alone in the room, his head in his hands. He was thinking about the terrible things that happened that night.

Where does hope come from. There are ample grounds for despair in our world.

There are ample grounds for despair in our world ...

8 The Record, July 27 — 2 August, 1984

When I was in Bihar, India, I saw the disastrous effects of a cold spell. Truckloads of bodies were brought into cities for cremation. Buses crowded with passengers sitting on the roofs and inside delivered corpses to their destination. People were dying from exposure to record low temperatures. These were not freezing temperatures. But in a countryy unused to cold and unprotected by central heating and warm clothing, the temperatures were deadly. • For several years, newspapers have detailed the poverty, bloodshed, and terror prevailing in much of Central America. And the Middle East. And Northern Ireland. • It is not uncommon today to find young or middleaged men, obviously not "street people", begging for handouts on the streets of large cities. Ample grounds for despair. Yet life goes on. Suicide rates notwithstanding, the huge majority of people cling to life, even in the midst of terrible hardship. Why? Because something, someone, is giving them hope. We humans must have hope, not just for our comfort, but to stay alive! Without hope there is death in one form or another. We Christians find our deepest hope in the God whose care we experience. Yes, experience! For God, I'm convinced, makes Himself vividly present in our lives, if we're alert. His presence gives us hope.

For a gospel example of what I'm talking about, read the dramatic account of the Transfiguration in Mark's Gospel. The apostles' experience of God is described as a moment of high hope. Remember the situation: At the time, the apostles were confused. They were over the first flush of enthusiasm about following Jesus, and

By Father John O'Callaghan S.J.

they had suspicions of coming tragedy. Doubts must have been setting in. Then suddenly they had a vision of glory. Clearly what took place was for them a "religious experience" and a tremendous consolation. Their reaction proves that: "How good it is for us to be here." Evidently that moment of life-giving hope remained a

vivid memory, repeated often in the early Christian community. What of us? Do we have similar experiences? Isuggest we may have them more than we usually admit. They are probably not so dramatic as the Transfiguration, though I think I know a few people who have had such experiences. But if our religious experiences are not generally so clear, that does not mean they are not real and profound. I once visited the great cathedral in Cologne. Germany, with my father. It was the umpteenth cathedral we had visited and he announced before going in that if he was in Europe another hundred years he would never need to see another curch. Imagine my surprise later when I saw a robed cathedral official giving my father a profound bow. When I asked my dad how much he had donated, he named a substantial sum, with the explanation: "In the face of such majesty, how could anyone give less?" He said this with real emotion. I knew that somehow he

had been deeply touched. The occasion was, for him, an authentic religious experience. I've had similar feelings during deeply honest conversations, during some Masses and when reflecting on Scripture. A good friend testifies that jogging brings moments which I can only interpret as religious experience, that is, a certain sense of God's reality, of His nearness and His care. This sense involves more than our minds. It touches our hearts. It is an experience we enter into. I'd like to suggest that readers look into their lives to see whether something like that is not part of their own experience. Don't do this for the sake of curiosity, but precisely to draw hope from it. If you cannot find anything like that in your experience, or if it's been a very long time since you've experienced it, that may signal a need to create some quiet time and space so that God can touch you. Jesus, after all, went away from the crowds periodically to be alone with His Father. Clearly, that isn't easy for busy people. But an easy temptation for most of us is to escape our deeper selves and the Lord's presence by flinging ourselves into frantic activity. Ironically, instead of enriching our lives and making what we do more vital, all that busyness impoverishes us, insulating us from the experience of God. That, in turn, robs us of one of the taproots to hope. Such action could be fatal: for, without hope, life cedes finally to death.

Earlier, he had left the house quietly, not wanting to wake anyone. He went to the shopping centre and drove the car down behind the stores. He remembered feeling uneasy. What if someone came? He really hadn't wanted to do this, but his new friends said that they needed his help. "Well," he told himself, "if I'm careful, I won't get caught." He remembered stopping at the pharmacy's back door. Next he re-ached through the shattered window with his gloved hand, felt for the door knob, turned it and entered the pharmacy, just after 1 a.m. He was frightened and lost little time finding the drugs in a locked box behind the shelves, just where he'd been told. He pried the box loose from the cabinet and headed for the door. He opened it and stared at t wo policemen holding guns. It had been awful since then, Mike thought. He was thrown against the police

car and searched. He'd never even seen handcuffs before, except in the movies. At the station, he was locked in a small room and questioned repeatedly. His guilt was assumed; after all, he'd been caught inside the pharmacy. But the worst was yet to come: The police called his mum and dad and they were on the way. Mike was 17. What would he tell them? They had always been

There are those who consider hope the least understood — or the most misunderstood — virtue. To some, the hopeful person is the eternaloptimist, able to smile under the most trying circumstances But, they may say, "ril never be like that. That's just not me" To others, the hopeful person is seen as someone experienced in life's ways. This is the person who knows that "the things you worry about the most never happen."But topeople who have experienced much pain or injustice in life, that image of hope Isn't very hopeful Again, some people regard hope as nothing more than a personality — trait that one must develop early on if it is ever toplay a significant role. In this view, you either have hope or you don't have it. And if you don't have it, wel . . Part of the confusion about hope comes from a misunderstanding of it as a means of looking toward the future while looking away from present problems that deserve

proud of him before. He had done moderately well in school and seemed to be popular enough. He was a reasonably good athlete. He had a lot going for him. How would he explain this away? He'd never been in real trouble like this before. Mike began to think about all the things that could happen. There'd probably be a hearing in juvenile court. He'd he taken away from home and put in some

institution for bad kids. His real friends — not the ones he'd gotten mixed up with this time — wouldn't want anything to do with him again. What would they think of him at church? And what would this do to his parents? His whole life would be changed because of one incident, he thought. Mike began to feel desperate. How could he face anybody after this? He heard the sound of the key in the doornob. The door swung open and there stood his father. "Mike, why?" he asked softly. "Tell me why you had to do this."

By Father James Black attention, time and effort Part of theproblem, too, is that "hope" is a genuine4, difficult term to define. It appears to come in many sizes and shapes Most people probably have a true story to tell of how hope was created at some point in their own life or in the life of someone close to them. It is good to tell such stories. For they bring hope to others, and beg, us get a glimpse of what hope really means. Often a sense of hopelessness develops when people misunderstand each other. Hope reemerges when the misunderstanding gets cleared up. It happens all the time in marriages andfamilies and friendships and on —r the job. There are many stories about hope to be told here. • Hope wanes when people begin to believe that no one cares about them. • Hope wanes when the life of a child or spouse takes a debilitating course over which one has little immediate control perhaps through alcoholism or drugs.

Mike fumbled for an answer. He didn't really know why he'd done it. Mike debated his answer: Should he be honest or not? "Because I was stupid and didn't think about what I was doing." he answered after a long pause. "I was selfish. I didn't think about how it would affect me, or anyone else, for that matter. I let some people talk me into something dumb. Now I've got to pay the price. I feel like I'm kind of at the end of the line." Mike's father took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Mike, your mother and I have been talking and praying a lot on the way down to the police station. If you've done something wrong, you'll have to pay for It. "But, Mike," he continued, "you're still our son, and we still love you very much. We don't understand what you've done, or why you've done it. "We're disappointed. But we'll stick with you and help in any way we can. "We want you to believe that." Mike didn't say anything at first. He'd really let his parents and himself down. Now they were saying that they'd stick with him, no matter what happened. His future, obviously, remained uncertain. But now Mike began to hope that, whatever happened, he'd be able to handle it. His father had given him that hope. The events of the evening were still bleak, hut not quite as bleak as before.

Work with inspired in her

For Sister Pauline, the day begins and ends with problems. She is there to listen to all the students but it is those with real problems who come knocking on her door, they rarely come for anything trivial, she says. When they ask for help they really need it. Often students are referred by teachers; occasionally a parent may ask for advice. Her first job is to find out why.

As Western Australia's first full-time social worker to be employed in a Catholic school, Sister Pauline O'Connor has a big job on her hands. But from the smile on her face and the lilt in her voice you can see she is loving every minute of it. For Sister Pauline, a member of the St John of God order, the job gives her a chance to be creative and offers a unique opportunity to give of her best. She joined the staff at Servite College at Tuart Hill at the beginning of this year and one term on, is full of enthusiasm and optimism for the future of the scheme. She is one of four social workers employed with the assistance of the Catholic Education Commission and the only one working fulltime at present. (There are plans for another full-time social worker in the near future.) The other three social workers are employed on a part-time basis to assist at the schools of St Francis Xavier (Armadale), St Jude's (Langford) and Whitfords Catholic Primary School. The Catholic Education Commission pushed the school social work programme after becoming increasingly aware many of the problems surrounding children in the school environment could be directly

A regular feature by LOSI_IY% UCSS related to their home situation. For Sister Pauline, who graduated from the Western Australian Institute of Technology in 1980 it was the answer to her prayers. She had come to Australia from Ireland in 1971 and while belonging to a predominantly nursing order, had not been able to commit herself in that direction. "I knew I didn't want to do nursing, but I didn't know what I wanted to do," she said. "I asked to go north for a year and was sent to Nulunga College at Broome."

Thanks for your prayers "People like you who were praying, fasting and doing so many things to support us, gave us the strength to know we were not alone" Father Brian Gore told the congregation at a Mass to welcome him homeon Tuesday night in St Mary's Cathedral.

It was during this time she gained experience as a teacher and part-time remedial worker, involved in a supervisory capacity with teenage girls. When she returned to Perth it was to study the social sciences with thoughts of becoming a teacher. "I did well in the first year but felt it was too academic," she said. It was then she changed to social work. For three years after completing her degree she ran the pastoral care department at the St John of God Hospital and was involved in welfare work and patient and staff counselling. While the demands of teenage students are different in some respects, she finds much in her experience at the hospital to draw upon.

"In some ways it is different," she said. "It is certainly exciting work and obviously I am not operating in a sick environment so that makes a difference," she said. For Sister Pauline, the day begins and ends with problems. She is there to listen to all the students but it is those with real problems who come knocking on her door. They rarely come for anything trivial, she says. When

they ask for help they really need it. Often students are referred by teachers; occasionally a parent may ask for advice. Her first job is to find out why. "It can be a family problem," she said. "It can be a learning difficulty or it can just be normal growth of teenage years. The first step in the system very often comes after a disruption in class. "But it isn't necessarily so obvious," said Sister Pauline. "Sometimes it may just be changed behaviour in a student. They may be tearful or isolating themselves and the teacher becomes concerned. If the teacher comes to me, I will go to the student and discuss it. "But very often students refer themselves. "If the problem has a basis in their family situation I go to see the family. "I try to make as many home visits as possible because it is important to establish rapport," she said.

c t& Before her appointment such problems were often handled by the teacher. Really disruptive students would be referred to a government agency but in many cases nothing was done; everyone just waited for the problem to go away. It is because such problems rarely do just go away that Sister Pauline is now sitting in her little office in the grounds of Servite College. The office is situated away from school administration because while Sister Pauline works within the school, she is separate from it. Her door is open before and after school and during recess. Often, she says, the students come in groups. "They seem to get support from being with each other," she said. "Peer pressure is such a significant thing at this age." With one term behind her, Sister Pauline is striding into the next one, well pleased with results so far. "Indications to date are it is going well," she smiled. She is especially delighted with the number of students who choose to refer themselves; many more than she anticipated. "When I started, I made a

school pupils Sister Pauline new career point of meeting all the students in groups of 10 to 1 2 to explain what my job would be. I made it clear I wasn't a teacher and I wasn't there for discipline, she said. "It took two and a half weeks to meet them all but it was worth it." Her next major task was to meet the parents. She began visiting families and as first term drew to a close she crossed 80 names off her list with many more to come. -I don't know how many more there are," she smiled patiently. "I try not to think about it." The problems laid before her are many and varied but the basis remains the same — relationships. Relating to parents, relating to teachers, relating to peers. "It's like I'm the ear of the school," she said. "I feel they see me as someone between themselves and the system. "It's being the go-between that is important. I am careful to clarify with the students what they want to share with me and what I can pass on to the teacher or their parents. It's important I don't take sides." Neatly sidestepping the sticky situations around her . Sister Pauline says her role is vital for any child who can't relate either to family or school.

N%0P11 ' "I feel the children can identify fairness very easily and are quick to assess the situation on this basis. But it doesn't necessarily help them with their problem," she said. "They are all very aware of the power of teachers and they talk in terms of this power." It is interesting, she says, although teenagers feel a need to rebel against perceived power, they do not want teachers to be 'one of them'. "In their eyes it doesn't fit, it isn't right," said Sister Pauline. Neither do they want their parents as friends. 'They want their parents to be parents. 'They want to see adults in those traditional roles even though they may protest at the power. It gives them something to work

with; it gives them boundaries. "I have found young people need to know the boundaries are there," she said. " They feel better knowing how far they can go . . . and they will certainly try you to the limit," she added with a grin. Sister Pauline has also found school to be a place of learning herself. In those first few months she was educated in the ways of the teenage world. "I'm much more aware of what they are facing in life a nd the struggles they have," she said. "I think peer pressure is much stronger for these young people, certainly much more so than it was when I was their age.

"I have also learned it is important for every teenager to have a friend, to belong to a group, to have peer approval," she said. "Being in with the group can be a good or a bad thing," she added. " There are problems in that teenagers can be impressionable and can be influenced by group pressure to do things they wouldn't normally do, just so they won't be excluded from the group." The home influence, says Sister Pauline, is the major influence for all children and can make or mar their path through life. "There is no way you can divorce home life from school," she said. "It shows all the time; in how students relate to male or female teachers for instance. This can often be directly linked to their relationships with their mothers or fathers or with male/ female relationships within the home." Providing the link between school and home is one way of increasing understanding she says, of parents, teachers and students alike. In one case a student had been having a great deal of trouble at school but was considered a 'perfect angel' at home. "It was only when I visited the home I discovered what was considered inappropriate behaviour at school was seen to be appropriate behaviour at home,- she said. 'The child was acting in a

way accepted as normal by the parents." In these cases, she says, it is important for the teacher to understand the child's responses and for the parents to realise certain behaviour which is acceptable in their home may not be as easily accepted outside it. "Parents very often automatically blame teachers if their child is having problems," she said. "It is important they see both sides, and that goes for the teacher too. "My aim is to get both sides working together for the good of the child." The changing structure of families is having a great effect on children today, says Sister Pauline with concern. The increase of working mothers, single parents, blended families and shared parenting obviously has had dramatic effects on the attitudes and behaviour of children.. It's a time, she says, when adults too have lost their guidelines and are operating without boundaries. The confusion of the parents is reflected in the children. "It can create tensions when mum has the kids during the week and is battling to meet school fees and dad has them over the weekend with plenty of pocket money to spread around and lots to do," she said. Weekends are a crucial time for many of these children and Sister Pauline often finds her doorstep full on a Friday. The biggest problem facing the students is poor selfimage. 'This is very obvious,- she says, "and I think it gets back to that general confusion." Many teenagers are pessimistic about the future and coupled with low selfesteem it creates great trauma.

eNWPW"' "I don't think the problem is any threat of war, it's as basic as unemployment. Many of them can see an older brother or sister who can't get work and they lose heart themselvs and can't see why they should bother,- she said.

from MARK WARNICK in the Catholic Leader B RISBANE: The new challenge to funding of independent schools has been met by Catholic and other organisations who have mounted a counter campaign. It gives the f acts about the allocation of the education dollar. T he strong response made by Queensland's Catholic and independent schools' parent organisations, Association of Independent Schools and A ssociation of Teachers in Independent Schools, opposes the advertising campaign for a freeze on private school funding. They were "reluctant to buy into the campaign," because of the divisiveness it had already created, and "we have better things to spend our limited resources on," spokesman said. But the campaign was misleading and could not go unasnwered.

move is to try and do something about them. 'The first thing I have to do is improve that selfimage," she said. 'That can be done by working on a one to one basis or I can work through the teachers with staff development. I can encourage the teachers to look at themselves, to question their responses to the children ... 'How often do I use the word stupid?' and things like that. -My other avenue is to work with parents in exploring parent effectiveness and relationships, it's an extension of Christian living," she said. She also sees room for improvement in the education system and feels studies should be carried out to

ascertain how effectively the system is preparing young people for the future. "In many ways the current system is anchored in the past ... I think we need to assess what they are being taught and also to look at how they are being taught," she said. "Children must be taught to question, but they must also learn to respect discipline." One of her greatest joys, she says, has been in discovering the honesty and love in young people. "They respond to love and caring so spontaneously and they certainly know when someone likes them or not," she said. Sister Pauline, herself one of 10 children, says her own

family experiences have proved invaluable in her work. "I came right in the middle of them all, so I've got more experience in dealing with teenagers than I realised,she said. "It's really only since I've been doing this work I have realised just how much I draw on my own experiences and those of my brothers and sisters. Because I come from such a large family, I have experienced many of the things these young people are talking about. "I know how protective it can be to have older brothers and sisters. "I can also see the good and bad aspects of being part of a large family.

T he Australian Teachers' Federation and the Australian Council of State School Organisations have launched a national advertising campaign calling for a freeze on funding to private schools "to enable a fullscale review and public discussion about the effects of Government funding policies." The text of the television advertisements calling for the freeze states: "The whole system of special interest private schools is ballooning at an uncrontrolled rate. By 1988 the whole private school 'rip off' could cost an incredible one billion Federal dollars. 'Put bluntly, it is a rort, a rip off, of the taxpayers' money. 'But the majority of A ustralia's children, three quarters of them, go to government schools and they should and must come first. "If Australia is to have social unity, a united Australia, these valuable funds should be used to continue the 100 years' tradition of public education, they should be put into government schools. "Let's freeze the spending on the private system now. "If we are attempting government by consensus, let's be sincere about it — stop and catch our breath now, before the whole public school system goes bang." • Cont page 12
