MEN FOR RAINING
Pictured (RIGHT) is the scene at the University of WA on Tuesday night when some 200 men began their training before being instituted as acolytes on October]. The last intake of acolytes was in 1982 when nearly 200 were admitted to the ministry. The present intake will bring the number of acolytes in the archdiocese to near 800. The acolytate as a widely based parish ministry was pioneered in Perth archeiocese in 1974 with an intake of 46. Since then acolytes have been introduced into Sydney and several other NSW dioceses, into the diocese of Bunbury and most recently into Geraldton diocese (see page 4). Because 10 years have elapsed since its introduction, Archbishop Foley has asked for a survey to be made of the ministry in Perth archdiocese and questionnaires will be sent soon to all acolytes elegible for service.
In a plea coinciding with the anniversary of the World War II Atom Bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leaders of Australia's Catholic orders of priests, brothers and nuns said "peace is possible .”.. and the . arms race must stop.

They called on Christians to spread that message to their fellow Australians. The National Council of Religious represents 15,500 religious priests, brothers, and nuns. Peace is at the heart of the Bible's message, the call says. It also says the living standards of the world's poor and oppressed are being eroded by insane expenditure on arms. Christianity does not entail unilateral disarmament. But, it adds, Christians "should welcome some unilateral initiative which would create a climate of trust and foster a greater level of dialogue." The superiors call on Catholics: • to urge their fellow Australians to consider ways in which we can work for peace. • to pray more earnestly for peace in our time. Sister Elizabeth Murphy of Sydney, president of the National Council of Religious, said in Adelaide peace is very much the concern of priests, brothers and nuns. "Peace is everyone's concern," she said. "It is especially the responsiblity of Christians. "We believe Christ came to redeem us and bring peace to our world. "We are called to work for peace — peace in our lives, our families, our neighbourhoods, our work places, our communities and in fact, our whole environment. "We must become more conscious of injustice,
Sister Elizabeth Murphy oppression and violation of human rights in our country and in other parts of the world. "Injustice and oppression cause violence. "That violence often frightens those responsible for the oppression., "They react by imposing harsher measures. "It can become a terrifying cycle. "Christ's message is one of love, of peace, of justice and of joy. "There is no doubt where Christians must stand. "We must stand with the oppressed," Sister Elizabeth Murphy said. The National council of Religious has issued its statement at the request of an assembly of the National Council of the Major Superiors of the Religious of Australia. The May meeting in Melbourne was attended by the leaders of 110 religious orders in Australia.
Marriage a citadel MEN Mass count LOSE this Sunday of God's OUT ords Some revealing pastoral information will be gained by the Australian Church when a count of Mass attendance is taken this week on the feast of The Assumption. To complete the picture, a mass count will be taken in all churches and chapels on the following Sunday. The bishops of Australia are currently studying proposals on the holy days of obligation in the light of new requirements in canon law and the size of the holy day attendances will influence their decisions. Perth archdiocese held a Mass count in August 1973, at Christmas 1977, and again during Lent 1978. The results, when compared jwith the Australian census total of Catholics indicated some 25-30 per cent of Catholics attend Mass on Sundays and the figure rises to around 50 0 0 at Christmas. Surveys in Adelaide and Auckland NZ have produced similar findings.
Young married couples coming together regularly to exchange their experiences and annual liturgical celebration of wedding anniversaries are the sort of parish support programmes the noted writer on marriage, Dr Jack Dominian would like to see introduced as a positive answer to marriage breakdown. "A cycle of four Sundays in which we celebrate the early, the middle and the late years of marriage would be accompanied by preaching from the gospels and the Old Testament so that the word of God can talk to people about their experiences" said the English consultant psychiatrist. He is in Perth currently lecturing at Wollaston College. "Marriage is the little church, the little community in which husband and wife address each other through love and find Christ in each other.

The Record, August 10

COMBAT CHILD ABUSE
"The reason why fornication and pre-marital sex is wrong is that sex is so rich you can't do justice to it outside the relationship which is marriage. Asked for an argument
"I don't want to argue the case against fornication. "I want to say this is about being fully human, about working out the fullness of sexuality," he said.
The pattern of marriage breakdown is one of Dr Jack Dominian's central interests through the Marriage Resource Centre which he founded eleven years ago. He believes the root of failure lies in the first five years of marriage where more support must be given. "In the past we saw the wedding as the peak of marriage. I now want to see the wedding as the beginning of an unfolding relationship to be celebrated and supported. ROME: The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, has condemned child abuse as "unworthy of a civilised country." It says maltreated children often grow up to be violent adults.
Man are coping less successfully than women in the changing manwoman relationship of today, according to Dr Jack Dominian whose professional interest in marriage spans more than 25 years. "The potential equality of man and woman envisaged in Genesis, by Our Lord and by St Paul is f inding its realisation today," he says. When St Paul says in Christ, there is no longer Jew or Gentile, Greek or Roman, male or female he is a genius and could see the equality. "I think it is marvellous that it is coming into operation." Dr Dominian said. "But in the Catholic Church, we have to change enormously the position of women in the life of the Church. We cannot ignore and isolate 50 per cent of the Christian community as we did in the past." Dr Dominian sees the growth in affluence and t he increased leisure time affecting the role of men who traditionally spent much of their lives in hard work. "We are looking today at the next layer of being, which is about feelings and emotions. "I think men are handicapped compared to women.

The last of Dr Jack Dominian's three public lectures will be given in the Social Science Theatre of the University of WA at 8 pm on Wednesday, August 15. His topic will be The Future of Christian Marriage.
Importance of parent influence
"I want marriage to be, after baptism and eucharist, the most important sacrament in our lives.
"There is no doubt that the first five years of marriage are crucial and where 30 or 40 per cent of marriage breakdown occurs. Dr Dominian believes today's couples are prepared to join groups and talk out their experiences and problems early in marriage. "People today want to talk about their personal
relationship more than we would have done. There is more sense of communicating, more openness and less secretiveness than 25 years ago. People today are more influenced by their peers and the breakdown of the extended family through urbanisation has reduced the passing down of wisdom from older people." But Dr Dominian believes a good relationship with one's parents is a necessary background to marriage.
AHERN STEPS DO
Can no longer dictate terms We can no longer dictate the terms on which our moneys and personnel go to overseas mission destinations Father Ahern said. "We can't send people overseas on our agenda. We don't call the tune. We just act in faith sending our people to another church. "The personnel have to learn from that other church and any money we send we have to allow in faith to be used as the receiving church sees fit. "We cannot dictate the terms such as wanting 'my' money to go to a particular mission. People are beginning to see this is putting a condition on the gift. "It is equivalent to speaking from a position of power; we have the power because we have the money.
If we are going to dictate the terms of the gift then it shows we are even more powerful. "It is very condescending for us to be giving things to others and then to say: you will spend my money in this particular way." Father Ahern said people giving money to the Propagation of the Faith knew it was moving through a recognised and responsible channel. He said expenses were kept to a minimum and even display and publicity material was kept simple and not given to expensive colour work. "It's a matter of how much bait to c atch the fish. It need not be e xtravagant but unless some resources are used the message will not get across." he said.
Mission work today is an exchange of personnel rather than a giving and receiving. The old idea of so called mission countries receiving our personnel is at the stage where we need to receive from them. This was the view of Catholic Missions Director Father Pat Ahern this week when it was announced he will be handing over the work next year to Father Peter Bianchini, currently parish priest of Bencubbin. Father Ahern who has been missions director since 1979 became parish priest of Hamersley earlier this year and was asked to carry on his mission work until the end of this year. "We have been receiving priests from Ireland for years and in recent years we have received priests from Malta, Italy, Holland, Poland, but also visitors from the Philippines, Africa, India and Sri Lanka.

"The world scene is one of exchange, having others enrich our local church as well as sending our people to enrich other churches. "Father Brian Gore is back to fertilise Australian thinking and apply some of his ideas to the local scene." Father Ahern said that not only did countries like ours have smaller surpluses of priests and religious to export, but the other countries were becoming more self sufficient with their own priests and religious.
Peruvian justice LIMA: Peru's Cardinal Juan Landazun Ricketts has given a cautious welcome to a government proposal to allow suspected guerillas to be tried before military tribunals. He also gave his support to the speeding up of justice in civilian courts -The failing of these courts is equivalent to a sort of impunity for the guerillas,- he said. The cardinal's remarks come after a report of new proposals to reintroduce the death penalty for guerillas, as well as to use military courts.

able to help local people to organise the best use of those skills. "From WA there are currently 12 lay missionaries serving in Pakistan, Tanzania, Chile, and Papua NewGuinea. "Some single missionaries are using this as a stepping stone to a more permanent commitment in religious life and they will be the better religious for it. "In order to persevere the lay missionary needs a depth in their personality and spirituality. "They need the intelligence to discern the situation when they get there and not give up after a month because it was not what they expected." he said: "As one mission director said recently: 'It is not a question of a shortage of lay missionaries but when the potential lay missionary is ready to go. "We are short of clergy locally too, but we do not say we will ordain just anyone. There still needs to be a call and it is still the same in the missionary scene." he said.

Record Re-writing marriage The pained tones with which ABC commentators and reporters have dealt with comments on the recent extension of financial privileges to homosexuals will not allay the suspicion that the public has been skilfully manipulated into a position of mute submission. Only those with a fine knowledge of the industrial manoevering will understand how newly fledged Australian Broadcasting Corporation has acquired its independence to spend taxpayers' money in a matter that has absolutely nothing to do with its broadcasting charter. If it is only a cynical exercise in industrial one-upmanship being anxiously studied by other power lobbies also devising self-serving strategies then the deafening silence on the matter so far by any leading politician will add a new meaning to the overworked word consensus. The involvement of the emotive homosexual issue means that the real questions can be buried in a smokescreen of so-called moral considerations while the cash advantages can be neatly consolidated far away from tampering by any present or future government. In a thimble and pea deception the bewildered public is left deciding on which dilemma to be most upset: that a department which only recently was shuddering in horror at the razor gang economies can now chart its own spending course, or whether the final days of any community consensus on the meaning of marriage are numbered. It has not happened over night of course, and those who throw up their hands in horror at their traditional concept of marriage now being paper thin as far as government is concerned would do well to remember the popular approval that has been given to similarly disruptive trends in Australian family life for many decades. The Australian Bishops Conference took the opportunity to express to Prime Minister Hawke earlier this year its dissatisfaction over the extension of de facto travel allowances for parliamentarians. Unfortunately they would have to accept the number of de facto privileges that have been slowly but surely extended to de facto spousal situations in many areas of life today. The bishops rightly objected to a sub-political body such as the Remuneration Tribunal taking upon itself the determination of what spousal relationships are now acceptable in this country but the tribunal could have c ynically asked to be shown how many average A ustralians really care. The thousands and thousands of Australians who are said to be taking advantage of the civilised processes of the Family Law Act when it comes to separation and the dividing up of children and spoils obviously have their own flexible definition of marriage which can be invoked if the reasons are sufficiently compelling. In that sense it is only a short step from de facto marriage to specious pleading on behalf of so called homosexual unions. Those who have contrived this latest move know well the weak spots in the Australian system and where law can be strategically altered with little public comeback. The ABC move will do little to encourage compassion for individual homosexuals when it is clear that certain sections of their ranks are determined to lead with their chins in the hope that any provoked outrage on the part of opponents will be turned neatly to their advantage. Perhaps the time has come for luckless and hapless c hurch commentators and spokesmen not to be embroiled in any observation on homosexuals because pleas for sympathy and understanding of their plight by the wider community may be part of a secret agenda of which this latest incident is a hint. If consensus on the meaning of the true worth and value of traditional marriage does indeed collapse — and some would say it has already — it starts a whole new process of establishing human rights in a complex society. The legal respect and safeguards that surrounded permanent marriage may have been called anachronisms by progressive elements who felt that giving respect to their repeated unions was an advancement of human rights. Marriage however is now shown to be fragile and the adolescents coming up through the ranks are being quietly programmed for inevitable hate, bitterness, loss and even revenge. Out in another fantasy land children are being streamed into a parent-less loss of identity whether in the IVF laboratory or court-administered visiting rights. Why bother ringing the police if people who are supposed to love each other are free to batter each other because the union they have adopted is not worth the paper is is written on? Why tug at the public heartstrings over homeless and rejected youth if the fabric of the families to which they are supposed to belong have not an iota of standing in the community? Much and all as it is posed as a question about homosexuals and their claimed rights the real victims of the ABC move are the ordinary people in life who hoped they had a vision and hope in coming together as man and wife for all their days. No wonder that visiting marriage commentator Dr Jack Dominian hints elsewhere in this issue that we are but on the dawn of an age when marriage is going to become the crucial area of human relationships. We will downgrade that bond between a man and woman at our peril.

In St Francis Xavier Cathedral Geraldton Bishop Hickey institutes Mr Michael Dwyer of Bluff Point as an acolyte.
GERALDTON: The point of acolyte and other ministries is they encourage greater participation by the faithful in the Church's communal worship of God, Bishop Hickey said last week at the institution of 13 acolytes in St Francis Xavier Cathedral Geraldton. He said also the acolytes would be needed because of the acute shortage of priests being faced by the diocese. The Vatican II decree on the Liturgy made it quite clear we were not to be mere spectators at Mass. It encouraged the full and active participation of the faithful, "body and soul". The decree said: "this is what the nature of the celebration demands, it is this to which the faithful have both the right and the duty by reason of their baptism." "There is more specific reason why this event is important to this diocese. It is because our acute shortage of priests. "It is not possible for our acolyte to substitute for an ordained priest, but because of his eucharistic ministry he is able to offer great assistance to a priest who is impaired by sickness or age. "In areas where a priest cannot visit except at rare intervals, an acolyte may well exercise para-liturgical functions from time to time, "I have seen places like that on recent tours of the diocese, and, believe me, the position will probably get worse before it gets better." Bishop Hickey said. "It might seem we once had acolytes in the diocese. "I recently visited the pioneer cemetery at Mullewa where I saw a headstone carved by Monsignor Hawes. "The stone was carved in the form of a raised cross. On one side was carved a candle, on the other, a thurible. The inscription read "SelbyJohn Arnold, Acolyte". "At that time the word 'acolyte' was used in a loose

sense to describe an altar server.
"Now we must use it in its strict sense as a liturgical ministry, properly instituted by the local bishop. "The point of this and other ministries is it encourages greater participation by the faithful in the Church's communal worship of God." Bishop Hickey said. "The ministry of acolyte has an ancient history. "From the earliest developments of Church liturgy acolytes assisted in the celebration of Mass and carried Holy Communion to those who could not attend Mass through sickness.
DODO "One remembers St Tarcisins who was martyred in the Roman persecutions because of his fidelity to his special office and his reverence for the Blessed Eucharist he was carrying. "Over the centuries, for a variety of reasons, the acoIrate disappeared as a separate ministry. "It was retained in the Church as one of the minor orders that led ultimately to the priesthood. "In the liturgical reforms that occurred after Vatican H Pope Paul VI re-established the acolytate as a special ministry in its own rite." he said.

People not numbers MEXICO CITY: Demographic policy must not c onsider people as "mere numbers", Pope John Paul says in a message to the International Conference on Population. The Church recognises the role of governments and of the international community to "study and face with responsibility the population problem in the context of, and with a view to, the common good of individual nations and all humanity," he says. "The dignity of the human and his or her uniqueness and capacity to contribute to the well-being of society are of primary importance tc the Church" in discussion about population. "Against the pessimism and selfishness which cast a shadow o ver the world, the Church stands for life and calls for greater efforts to correct those that situations endanger or diminish the value and appropriate enjoyment of human life," the Pope says. The conference opened in Mexico City on August 6 under the auspices of the United Nations.
Arrangements for Nairobi congress

for our people's needs Carrying water for all household purposes from wells and creeks is a heavy burden for thousands of women in remote villages of South Bihar, in India. Most families are short of water, particularly for crops. India's climate is harsh: 3 months wet, 9 months dry . . . with dust and devastating heat During extremely hot periods many water sources dry up . . . so the women must walk further for water. Without adequate water, crops wither and die . people go hungry . . . and those who need food most - young children, nursing and expectant mothers - are malnourished. Polluted water is a big problem here causing frequent outbreaks of diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera and typhoid. Can you help us find clean water for these people?
A ustralian Jesuits working in India have appealed to Australians for funds to drill for water. Tube wells save crops, reduce sickness, and provide clean water all the time. Drilling takes 2-3 weeks to reach the water table some 100-150 f eet below the ground. It costs about $1,400 for drilling, piping, hand pump and ground work. Please help us now.

from J.F. HARDING Diane//a SIR: The world's secular press has never been previously noted for concern regarding the many priests and religious brutally treated and, in some instances, incarcerated without other than show trial in mainly countries with totalitarian rule. However, given the slightest whiff of an alleged Church scandal is to generally find any allegation however unsubstantiated, exposed to so called "investigative journalism" (whatever that is supposed to really mean) and produced in near front page news. The case of Father Gore and to a much lesser extent Father Nial O'Brian in the Philippines was the one case within my memory that has broken the norm — may I make so bold as to simply ask — why? All concerned Christians
should be aware of the case of the co-adjutor Bishop of Saigon Bishop Thuan and the many other seized and persecuted for the last several years. The Record now reports the case of Father Henryk Jankowski, spiritual adviser to Lech Walesa, who has been indicted along with his Polish colleague Father Jerzy Popieluzko, with, amongst other things of "abusing religious freedom". Following the good news of the release of Father Gore, can we now expect to read of a flood of protests to the Polish Embassy in Canberra regarding the abuse of these priests (I shall certainly be making a contribution) or, are Australians to be indicted with the oft repeated tag of being disinterested in the fate of others not sufficiently fortunate to live in a democracy.
from PAUL DONNELLY, Claremont SIR — Your well photographed report on the Festival of Light, Mary Whitehouse, John Smyth appearance at WAIT (Record — July 26) is praised: but it is unfortunate the polished contributions of the latter in the visit to Perth came too late for your reporting. It might indeed have been said of him that, like the wine at the marriage feast of Cana, the best was left to last: but one main point made by him should be recorded: He said a major feature of the English "Video Recordings Act" was videos should be suitable for viewing in the home.
Enacted No doubt, if such a law were enacted in Australia the phrase, "For viewing in Australian homes" might record a national feeling for decency. John Smyth said a difference between films and videos censorship demands was that while films or TV could gloss over unpleasant -
stopped or run in slow motion allowing viewers to dwell on the details of nudity, rape and murder. K nowledgeable children could operate videos in this way; and so could the prurient unbalanced people whose reactions to X and R videos made them a social menace.
from BERNADETTE GUY, Balcatta SIR: Miracles and the secrets of God belong to the humble. God has hidden these things from the learned and the clever who do not accept what it has pleased the Father to do — to send an angel, and the Mother of God to communicate with his chosen children. The miracle of the sun at Fatima, Oct 13, 1917, so that all might believe the message, was ignored by the world (although reported in detail in the locai newspapers). Now this week,. a theology professor in Rome is r eported as objecting to Marian devotion, in particular the prayer of Pope John

Turn to our Catholic
Humble miracle Paul in entrusting the world into the care of Our Lady of Fatima. By falling into this trap, called lack of faith, the worldly wise fail to see Fatima as a blueprint for peace. It has prepared us for today's crisis. The angel's prayer, 1916, affirmed the virtues of faith, hope, charity, our obligation to pray for others. The need for prayer and sacrifice, for devotion towards Christ present in the sacrament of the Eucharist, were other messages of the angel.

from Peter and Veronica Dymond, Kalamunda SIR, One way we as Catholic people could support our Catholic bishops and uphold the dignity of marriage (The Record — July 26) in doing so, would be to write to Messrs Hawke, Peacock, Sinclair and our parliamentary representatives expressing our concern at the possibility of granting "de facto" or "bona fide domestic" relationships the privileges of marriage partners in the area of overseas travel. A flood of letters on this topic would give valuable support to the Catholic bishops' statement and also to Brian Harridine who is submitting a Private Members' Bill opposing this proposed legislation.

Danger in the sister's views
from TREVOR BOARDMAN, Fremantle
SIR Sister Veronica Brady, speaking at the Mary Whitehouse Seminar (The Record July 26) would seem to make no mention of pornographers but would blame psycho-spiritual and moral disorders primarily on economic factors as though everything within human beings was determined from without, solely in accor dance with material conditions. The pseudo-philosophy of agnosticism underlies such a viewpoint.
Reason Common reason tells us that, as Mrs Whitehouse demonstrates from real-life examples, pornography is a direct cause of stupendous harm, evil, depravity and corruption, not to mention crimes of violence. That pornography is also, according to Sister Veronica a 'symptom' - of society's disease, which is clearly atheistic materialism (the basic of Marxist socialism and Nazism), is not directly r elevant to Mrs White house's immediate concerns and arguments. It should also be noted, morally and ideologically, pornography implicitly promotes atheistic materialism, and at the same time acts to psycho-emotionally reinforce that particular Satanic evil.
Obvious That it directly causes religious indifference is obvious from its explicitly immoral nature. Since it psychologically and morally distorts and undermines bourgeois (Christian) social relationships, pornography thus prepares the way for the social revolution which will be the vehicle for the "transformation of society" from capitalism to socialism. In other words, it will cause social anarchy, and only fascist dictatorship will be able to restore order.

Court rules on aborted babies LOS ANGELES (NC) — A California State appeals court has ruled 16,433 aborted foetuses discovered in an abandoned storage container more than two years ago could not be buried by a local chapter of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights in a non-sectarian cemetery because it "creates entanglement" excessive between Church and State.
Members of the chapter wanted to conduct religious memorial services or speak on the subject of abortion at the time of the burial of the aborted babies. But the court said the league was an extension of the Catholic Church. It said the burial would have been a distinct religious rite. The dispute arose over the disposal of the foetuses soaked in formaldehyde and found in an abandoned trailer in 1982. The district attorney decided to bury the foetuses rather than incinerate them to preserve them as evidence in the event of later litigation. The Southern California Catholic League contracted with a non-sectarian cemetery to conduct a small service along with the burial. In March 1983 the California Supreme Court issued a court order preventing the burial at the request of the Feminist Women's Health Centre, an abortion clinic, and the American Civil Liberties Union. In the latest ruling the judge characterised the anti-abortion movement as predominantly Catholic and said if a burial service were performed it would appear a public advocacy of Catholicism.
LONDON (NC) — Cardinal Basil Hume of Westminster says Catholic teaching condemns a special British Government committee's recommendation to legalise experimentation on human embryos devoloped in scientific laboratories.
Cardinal Hume also said while Catholics object to a suggestion which would allow artificial insemination to continue, they would support the committee's proposal to restrict the practice. The 16-member government panel, headed by Oxford University researcher Dame Mary Warnock, proposed allowing genetic experiments on human embryos developed in the laboratory up to 14 days after fertilisation. That was one of several recommendations resulting from the committee's I8-month inquiry into the social, legal and ethical questions raised by "in vitro" embryo research. The committee's proposals focused on regulation of such research. It also proposed a licensing agency to oversee the freezing of embryos for artificial insemination. The Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland have called embryo experimentation "unacceptable" unless the embryo's welfare is the first consideration. Cardinal Hume said "no human being, nor any society, can claim for itself or give to others absolute power over life and death." The commission "dealth with some of the basic questions of life and death," he said.
The cardinal endorsed a commission recommendation for an agency to regulate services and research in human infertility.

Nicaraguan 'credibility' in doubt VATICAN CITY (NC) — The expulsion of 10 foreign priests from Nicaragua casts doubt on the "democratic credibility" of the country's scheduled November national elections, said a front-page editorial in L'Os,servatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper. The expulsions also show the Sandinista government's "exasperating intolerance for every form of civil confrontation of opinion," said the editorial. "An electoral campaign is not worthy of the name without a guarantee of the most complete liberty for criticism and dissent," added the editorial.

The priests were ordered expelled after some of them participated in a march organized by Archbishop Muguel Obando Bravo of Managua, Nicaragua, to protest the arrest of a priest on subversion charges. The government said the priests were expelled because they were trying to provoke a Church-State confrontation and because their residency permits expired. Vatican Radio also sharply attacked the Sandinistas for the expulsion and called the action "creeping persecution" of the Church. The government is attempting "to discredit the Church" and to break its "ecclesial unity that is hinged on its bishops"

Talking together VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II urged Greek Catholic bishops to continue ecumenical dialogue with their "Orthodox brothers," but said their efforts toward full r econciliation would r equire the healing effects of time. Pope John Paul also reaffirmed the primacy of Rome, led by the pope, as the "vital centre" of the Church, in his talk to the bishops who visit the Vatican as a group every five years. In urging ecumenical efforts, Pope John Paul advised the bishops to be patient saying that "the steps taken may seem modest." "If you carry the
heavy heritage ot the past, you also carry the hope of full reconciliation," the pope said. "The important thing is to persevere, and to a llow time to heal t hings. Others will reap what you have sown." While dialogue has continued between Catholics and Orthodox Church members, ecumenical progress in Greece has been slow. Catholics number one-half of one per cent of the Greek population. Orthodoxy dominates national life. The Greet Orthodox Church, one of those which broke with the Catholic Church in 1054, rejects the juridical primacy of the
Roman pontiff. That difference has been a main obstacle to ecumenical advance in ongoing formal discussion between the churches since Vatican II. A 1974 statement by Catholic and Orthodox theologicans noted that the two traditions on the point "are not easily harmonised."
VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John PaulIIhas told a leading Orthodox churchman who is co-chairman of a major Catholic -Orthodox ecumenical group that the goal of ecumen/cal talks between the churches is unity, not uniformity. The pope spoke during an audience at the Vatican with Greek
Orthodox Archbishop Harkianakis Sylianos of Australia who is co-president of the Joint Commission for Dialogue between the Catholic and the Orthodox churches, which met in early June. "Certainly the search for unity willin no way mean a search for uniformity," said the pope during a 10-minute
address in English. "The life of the Church is manysided. It has aimed — in the course of centuries — to answer as fully as possible to different cultural and spiritual needs, giving full value to the patrimony of the various peoples." Pope John Paul said that differences in liturgies, when they express the same
Early church writings are unequivocal concerning the acceptance by Greek Christians of the authority of the Church of Rome, Pope John Paul said in his talk with the Greek bishops. "Inside the one Church of God, spread throughout all the continents, a vital centre
and point of reference exists: this is the local and particular Church of Rome, headed by the successor of Peter, the 'first among the 1 2'," the pope said. The Greek Catholic presence bishops' "around the bishop of Rome attests to and reinforces the unity of the Church," the pope said. Pope John Paul also said Christians today are faced with a modern "practical materialism" and the "disappearance of the moral conscience," and therefore have a greater need of both Christ's message and the Church's teaching authority.
Unity not uniformity

Small, carefully planned steps to goal
VATICAN CITY (NC) — Shortly after agreeing to establish ajoint international Catholic-Orthodox dialogue commission, Pope John Paul II said the decision shows "my impatience for unity." Since thepope made the decision more than four years ago, his actions have shown that the impatience does not mean haste. His words have been conciliatory but he has shown a caution which emphasises small, carefully planned steps toward an ecumenical goal which may not be reached in his lifetime. The pope outlined his position in late June in separate meetings with Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Moran Mar Ignatius Zakka Ilwas, members of the Catholic-Orthodox dialogue group, and Catholic bishops from Greece, where Orthodoxy is the official religion. To the Greek bishops, the pope stressedpatience. • "The important thing is topersevere, and to allow time to heal things," the pope told the bishops. A joint statement signed by the pope and the Syrian Orthodox patriarch, leader of 89,0(X) of the world's 2(X) million Orthodox, emphasised what

the two churches had in common, especially theological agreement regarding the seven sacraments. Yet it recalled that major differences still exist "touching on the Lord's will for His Church" and canonical details of the traditions proper to our communities." Because of these divisions, "the holy Eucharist cannot be concelebratedby us," thejoint statement added. "Such celebration supposes a complete identity of faith such as does not exist between us." I n ecumenical relations with. all Christian churches, the pope has been adamant about Catholic opposition tojoint Communion with other churches untilfull unity is achieved. The issue has become a symbolic gauge of ecumenicalprogress. Papal restatement of this position to an Orthodox leader is significant in that Catholics and Orthodox share the same believe that the Eucharist is the real flesh and blood of Christ. Many other Christian churches involved in official dialogue with Catholics differ greatly with Catholic eucharistic theology, making the Eucharist a key
theological issue to be resolved if unity is to he achieved. Historically, the key stumbling block between Catholics and Orthodox has been the role of the papacy. Catholics regard the pope as the final authority on faith and morals and thefinal arbiter in Church disciplinary issues. The Orthodox regard the pope as the bishop of Rome and accord him a role of honour and of visible leadership because of the historic importance of Rome in Christian history. However, they do not regard the bishop of Rome as the final authority on faith and morals, nor do they grant him any disciplinary authority over the entire Church. In the Orthodox church a bishop is the final authority in these matters only in his own diocese. Thus, the pope as bishop of Rome could not extend his jurisdiction to other dioceses. Issues of theological controversy and church discipline are usually handled by synods of Orthodox bishops. The Orthodox churches are generally divided along national or ethnic lines organised around a partriatrh as the visible leader
and honorary head of the church. In his talk to the Greek bishops, the pope reaffirmed the importance of the papacy but showed his conciliatory approach by using terminology which stressedimportance rather than authority. "Inside the one Church of God, spread throughout all the continents, a vital centre andpoint of reference exists: this is the local and particular church of Rome, headed by the successor of Peter, the 'first among the 12," he told the bishops. He also showed his conciliatory approach in a June 28 talk to members of the international Catholic-Orthodox dialogue commission. The dialogue commission was the main ecumenical result of Pope John Paul's trip to Turkey in November /979 to meet Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch DimitriosIof Constantinople. "The search for unity will in no way mean a search for uniformity. The life of the Church is many-sided." the lx)pe said. To the Greek bishops, however, he implied that this search will extend beyond his lifetime.
faith, are a "valuable complementary manifestation of the inexhaustible Christian mystery." The pope predicted that Catholics and would Orthodox unite and would allow for different modes of church life. "Mutual love, candid dialogue to bring out the whole truth, and steadily closer contacts, will bring and Catholics Orthodox to full communion of faith within a variety of liturgical, disciplinary, spiritual and theological traditions," he said. "Hence we need to clear up all the questions which hinder full communion in faith," the pope said. 60-member The joint commission was formed after a 1979 meeting in Turkey between the pope Ecumenical and Orthodox Patriarch Dimitrios I of ConThe stantinople. Catholic co-president of the commission is Cardinal Johannes Willebrands, president of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity.

Statement of common faith VATICAN CITY (NC) — The Catholic Church and the Syrian Orthodox Church signed a joint statement affirming a common faith in the nature of Christ and permitting members of each church to receive several sacraments in the other church when their own priest is not available. The statement was signed by Pope John Paul II and Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Moran Mar Ignatius Zaklca I lwas of Antioch, in a ceremony in the pope's library at the conclusion of the patriarch's four-day visit to Rome. Syrian Orthodox and Catholics have been divided doctrinally since
the Council of Chalcedon in 451 condemned monophysitism, by which the Syrian church held that Christ was human and divine in one nature. The council stated that Christ had a dual nature, fully human and fully divine. But the new agreement, which calls the two "sister churches churches," states that the historical disagreement "arose only because of differences in terminology and culture and in the various formulas adopted by different theoschools. logical According to the agreement, both churches accepted the Nicene Creed, formulated in
325, according to which Christ was "one in being with the Father" but was also "born of the virgin Mary and became man." Reaffirming a common profession of faith made in 1971 by Pope Paul VI and Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Moran Mar Ignatius Jacob II, both churches accept in the new decree that the word of God was `.`made flesh and became truly man," that He took to Himself "a real body with a rational soul," and that He "shared our humanity in all things but sin." The statement says certain doctrinal questions remain still unresolved involving "the Lord's will for His Church" and . ,that
the Eucharist still cannot be concelebrated by priests of the two churches since it "is the chief expression of Christian unity between the faithful and between bishops and priests." The new statement means that the 89,000member Syrian Orthodox Church has the same relationship with the Vatican as most of the other branches of the 200-million member Orthodox churches. Orthodox churches generally share a common understanding with Rome on most church doctrine but differ with Rome on the matter of papal authority, with the Orthodox acknowledg-
ing the special position of the bishop of Rome but considering the position one of honour and not of final authority. The new agreement also establishes new policies on collaboration in pastoral care. When Syrian or Catholic Orthodox faithful find "access to a priest of their own church materially or morally impossible," they are authorised to ask for sacraments of the penance, the Eucharist or anointing of the sick from priests of the other church. The document also pledges both churches to "do all in our power to achieve full visible communion."

At the end of 1940 he obtained his Leaving Certificate at Aquinas where he had shone at football, cricket, athletics and tennis (in 1937 he had been in the CBC Terrace tennis team that won the Slazenger Cup for the first time). In 1941 he enlisted in R AAF air crew and was working at Aherns while a waiting his call-up. It turned out to be a 10-month wait. During this period his mother met by chance an old family friend in Roy Potts, headmaster of Perth Boys' School, who inquired what Bill was doing. On being told, the sagacious Mr Potts replied: "You should get him into the Education Department —

The Record, August 10 — 16, 1984
William Hedges (Bill) Alderman was born at Bruce Rock, where his father Lancelot was headmaster of the primary school, on April 4, 1923. He went to school at Denmark, Lake Grace and Gnowangerup before coming to CBC Terrace as a boarder in 1936 and completing his secondary education at Aquinas from 1938-40. He worked at Aherns while he was on the air crew reserve in 1941 and was a
monitor at the Junior Technical School for six weeks before being called up in May, 1942, to join the RAAF in No 28 course of the Empire Air Training Scheme. He flew as an observer in various parts of Australia and the Pacific during the war and was discharged with the rank of flying officer to start at the Claremont Teachers' Training College in 1946. Since 1973 he has been teaching mathematics at the City Beach Senior High School,

A regular feature By BOB BOYLE you never know what's going to happen after the war." Bill took this advice passed on by his mother, removed the RAAF reservist's badge from his lapel, went for the appropriate interview and was posted as a monitor to the Junior Technical School in March, 1942, while still on the RAAF reserve. He loved the profession from his first tste, but his initial experience of teaching was to last only six weeks because in the May of 1942
he was called up for RAAF service. Strangely enough for one who was to become an interstate champion, Bill had no desire to play football after he left Aquinas. Schoolmate and later Sheffield Shield star cricketer Alan Edwards talked him in 1941 into joining Mt Lawley in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association — the famous Mets — where Alan was also playing for Mt Lawley. With this team Bill won the trophy for the best half -back.
After entering the RAAF he did his initial training at Victor Harbour in South Australia, the observers' course at Mt Gambier, bombing and air gunnery training at Port Pine and the astronavigation course at Nhill in Victoria. With his three sergeant's stripes up, and the singlewing "0- observer's brevet on the breast of his uniform (he stuck to the "0" throughout the war while most others changed to. "N" for navigator), he was posted to the East Sale operational training unit on Australianbuilt Beaufort bombers which were dubbed flying coffins because of their appalling safety record. Then, still on Beauforts, it was off to the torpedo operational training unit at Nowra.

the abject poverty of the people hard to come to accept. More than anything it made me feel so humble," she said. "it's something I have never forgotten even though I know there are no eay answers." "Perth is so isolated, I think it is especially important for people living here to travel so they can see how others live." Three years were spent in Oxford, with all the charm of its English streets and bike -riding dons. There was little money, but there was a goodly slice of experience and lashings of love and laughter to be had for the tasting. "It was an interesting experience in that in a sense we found we didn't need many possessions,- Margaret said. "I suppose that attitude has stayed with us; even now we spend money on travel rather than possessions." There was one possession that was a must, however. With the arrival of their first child, Eleanor, in 1971, the Bruce's bought a washing machine. "I remember the landlady was horrified," laughed Margaret. "She really thought
we were getting above ourselves. I just thought with all those nappies it was a necessity." In 1973 the family moved to Perth when Neville took up a position at the University of Western Australia in the Anatomy and Human Biology Department There have been two sabbaticals and three children since then Louise was born in 1973, Megan in 1976 and Alexander in 1979 On the last sabbatical, in 1977, the family spent six months in America. For Margaret, there can never be too much travelling, there is far too much to see. "We went to California and also visited New York and Washington," she said "America is such a diverse country. It is so different from place to place They have so much and they have so little . .. terrible poverty and so much wealth." When Margaret Bruce sets out to 'see the world', her eyes are wide open. The view can be painful at times but it's one sure way to grow as a Christian.

big influence Bill played more than 90 league football games with Subiaco — mainly at centrehalf -back and four with West Perth in addition to representing the State. He was also a league umpire. He played cricket for the WA Colts against Walter Hammond's MCC side in 1946 and was a member of the State senior squad for some years. Bill and his wife Joan (nee Troy), members of Our Lady of Victories parish
at Wembley, have five children aged from 34 to 24. They are Maree (Mrs Peter Johnston); Geraldine, a teacher at St Denis's School, Joondanna; John, teaching at Wanneroo Primary School; Terry, the Test cricketer who was a teacher and now works for the Town and Country Building Society — his wife, Jane, was teaching at Sacred Heart, Sorrento; and Denise, another member of the family who plays cricket for Australia.
aalEIC=CIEDOCICIDECIEWM1111000[11100 After all this, he was posted to his home State with 14 Squadron at Pearce. There he numbered former Australian Test captain Vic R ichardson among his team-mates as he played Agrade cricket with the RAAF side, and off his bowling in one match. Vic took five slips catches. Playing football at Pearce with notables such as East Fremantle star Charlie Doig, he severely injured his leg and the limb was in plaster for four months. While incapacitated, his original crew captained by Ken Clarke (brother of Sandover Medallist Sammy who was killed on Beauforts at East Sale) were posted off to points east, and managed a permanent without observer for months while they contrived to keep the
seat warm for Bill. Having at length regained some mobility, Bill was posted to the embarkation depot in the Brisbane suburb of Sandgate. Here again he encountered a long delay until the powers-that -be decided his doubtful leg was strong enough for him to do the mandatory jungle course. He was finally posted to Morotai where he rejoined his original crew who had managed all these months with "borrowed" observers in their determination to keep the position open for him. They flew Beauforts in various parts of the Pacific with No 9 Local Air Supply Unit and found themselves on the Borneo island of Labuan when the war finished.
In 1946 Bill started his course at the Claremont Teachers College still in his f lying-officer's uniform because his RAAF discharge did not come through until April. In that year he started his football career with Subiaco and represented the State against South Australia. He had his jaw broken in the match, which was awkward because on the following Saturday he was due to marry Joan Troy. At the wedding his wiredup jaws prevented him from speaking. "Joan had to do all the talking," he jokes, "and she's been doing it ever since." Subiaco made the four in 1946 and beat South Fremantle in the first semi. That was as far as they got,
but it was a lot further than they have progressed in recent years. In 1 947 Bill played at centre half -back for WA in the Hobart carnival. Although they did not win the carnival, the highlight was their defeat of the dreaded Victorians by four points. After the siren Victorian Fred Fanning took a kick for goal while Bill stood on his mark and Harry Carbon (Hobart Harry) threw mud at the Victorian from nearby. Fred kicked only a point when a goal would have won the match for the Vics. A few days later Bill played with a combined WA-SA side which also beat the Vics, this time at Launceston. In this match Bernie Naylor kicked eight goals for WA— SA and Lou Richards kicked eight for Victoria. In 1948 in Perth Bill was a member of the WA side that beat Victoria twice. He thus became one of the very few men to have played in WA sides that have beaten the Vics four times in a row. After that, injury curtailed his career to a large extent, but he played with Subiaco until the end of the 1951
season. In 1952 he went to West Perth to coach the seconds, but played four league games including the grand final which has since been called Kelly's Premiership because South Fremantle player Des Kelly won it almost single-handed. After having completed teacher training, Bill's first appointment was to the Mt Hawthorn Primary School in 1948. In 1950 he was transferred to Junior Tech, where he had been a monitor in 1942. However, in the last term on 1950 he was sent to no less than six schools on relieving duties. "I felt like a commercial traveller," he remarks.
In 1951, his last year with Subiaco, he went to Swanbourne Primary School and took over the class that had been taught by noted author, Paul Buddee. A pupil at the school then was Graham McKenzie, later to become one of the world's great fast bowlers. The start of 1952 saw him at Perth Boys' School under renowned headmaster "Sticky" Glew. There he
stayed for six years before mathematics. "I was never attracted to going to Kent Street Senior School, where he was to school administration," he says. "My place is in the spend 1 2 years.

"I played in the Hobart carnival and umpired in the '56 carnival. "I wonder how many former carnival players have umpired at later carnivals?" Perhaps a football buff among our readers may be able to answer that question; perhaps Bill and the late Mick are the only two to share the distinction. Leaving Kent Street, Bill was at South Fremantle Senior High School for four years before being transferred to his present location at City Beach Senior High school in 1973. In his career he has taught most of the subjects in the curriculum, but for about the past 20 years he has concentrated on teaching

His mother told him to be a good boy as she kissed him goodbye. The boy was very happy as he climbed the hill with the other children.

RUSSIAN GOLD showed just what a top filly she is when she recorded another easy victory with the big weight of 60.5kg. Because of her large impost bookies bet a fabulous price about this top filly however she proved too good. The stage is now set for the clash between top filly Russian Gold and top colt FISTFUL OF DOLLARS. Both horses' regular rider, Mark Sestich, will have to chose between them and it won't he an easy choice. SUNNY TWILIGHT had his first start on Saturday and proved his trial form good when he held on to score narrowly. Sunny Twilight had won three trials before this and add this to Saturday's win and Brian Mueller looks to have bright prospects with this Sunnymix 3yo gelding. BOLD CLASS resumed from a spell and looked very impressive when he won at Northam on Wednesday. Bold Class has always shown ability and he may be the horse to end owner-trainer Stan Quinlivan's lean spell he has been experiencing. SKF.APING resumed racing at York on Thursday and showed he has benefited greatly from his spell with a fast finishing win over 1300m. We have always had a high opinion of Skeaping and hopefully he will prove us right in this campaign. He should be hardest to beat in distances of 1600m or thereabouts.

GA EAT CPY "WRAP UP" What's that? Well we are literally going to "wrap up" a church, inside and out, with banners and posters. It's the Catholic Parish Youth Movement Spiritual day and it's going to be a day of fun, unity and prayer. On Sunday August 12, the day's activities begin at 11 am.; the church is the All Hallows Church in Inglewood on Central Avenue (near Beaufort St). Firstly we will make the posters and banners — hopefully they will represent CPY as a movement and its Youth Groups, and the youth of our parishes. These will be used to "wrap up" the church. Lunch will be provided, then we will have Mass to present to the Lord our offering "gift wrapped". Anyone interested in coming, please bring old clothes, paint brushes and paints if you can. For further information ring us at the Youth Office — 328 8136. Julia Della Franca, Julia Pickering and Barbara VVillcock, CPY Office -- 30 Claverton St, North Perth. Telephone 328 8136.

Father Kelly
Father Vaughan
Columban change The new Columban superior at Rivervale has spent many years making films and publicising the missionary work of the society. Father John Vaughan, who succeeds Father P.J. Kelly is originally from New Zealand where he was recently superior of the local Columban house. He studied at Essendon and Corpus Christi College, Werribee, Victoria. He was ordained in 1946, going to China the following year but surviving less than a year as the more
than 130 Columban missionaries were either expelled or gaoled by the incoming communists. He spent seven years in Japan and then began making films for promoting the society's missions, travelling extensively in Japan, the Philippines and Fiji and doing much of his cutting and finishing in the film capital, Los Angeles. Father P.J. Kelly, Superior of the Columban Fathers for the past six years, will be leaving for Sydney and afterwards to Fiji on August 17.
The Columbans would like to thank all the priests working in the archdiocese who have helped him in his work here Father Kelly, too, would appreciate an opportunity to say farewell to as many of them as possible. Trying to make this feasible they are having an open house for priests from 6pm on August 13. They hope a good number of priests will be able to find time to be with them. A prior phone call to 361 1097 will be appreciated.
