The Vatican tends not to release final itineraries until close to the event, but it is anticipated that the pope will visit all Australian capitals. Pope John Paul told Mr Burke he had fond memones of the two days he spent in Perth when as Cardinal Wojytla he attended the Melbourne Euchanstic congress The Premier and his wife had a 10 minute private conversation with the pope and then presented other members of the Premier's party to the pope. Mr Burke said the pope was very well acquainted with currrent affairs in Australia, and asked about the economic and moral leadership roles he believed Australia could play in the Asian region. Mr Burke presented a message to the pope from the Western Australian Polish community, together with a leather-bound publication The Western Australian Bird Folio by artist Thompson, for the Vatican library

The likelihood of Perth receiving a visit from Pope John Paul in his anticipated visit to Australia next year was confirmed when WA Premier Mr Brian Burke and his wife met the pope in R ome on Monday. The Australian government, the combined bishops' conferences of Australia, New Zealand and Oceania have invited the pope to visit this region and Vatican, and Australian church and government officials are working on a program that could see the pope in Australia at the end of 1986.
New legislation in Victoria will cause difficulties to some parties to past adoptions says Melbourne's Catholic Family Welfare Bureau and in Adelaide the director of the Catholic Family Welfare Bureau sees problems arising in the IVF process similar to those arising with adoptions.

Prophet of Order's history future in Australia church
Arcbishop Foley traced the history of the Pallottines arriving first in Beagle Bay at the invitation of Bishop William Kelly. During World War I, Archbishop Clune intervened on behalf of the German Pallot-tine missionaries and a Redemptonst Father Creagh was sent up to oversee them instead of their being interned. Salesians also took over the German mission for a short time.
Later the Pallottines started a mission at Tardun in the 1920's and another at Wandering in 1944, with the subsequent development of the Rossmoyne hostels for Aborigine boys and girls. Most recently the Pallottines had taken up aboriginal chaplaincy work in Perth and Geraldton. "Not alone but in a very special way the Pallottines have taken to themselves the heart of the apostolate to the aboriginal people in the north and in the south, and to them and the lead they have given us we should always be grateful," Archbishop Foley said. Father Juntsch is in WA for the local celebration of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the Union of the Catholic Social Apostolate and on Sunday, three bishops attended a special Mass at Queen of Apostles church, Riverton to mark the occasion.

St Vincent Pallotti was a prophet of the future Church because of his understanding of the lay apostolate, the Pallottine superior general told a group of priests on Monday night. Father Martin Juritsch described the struggle his order had with theologians and Pope Pius IX over a century ago because of their title, Society of the Catholic Apostolate. Theologians then believed that the apostolate belonged to bishops and Pope Pius IX declared "I am the Catholic Apostolate". He changed the order's title to Pius Society of the Missions and only in 1947 did they regain their original title. Confusion over the meaning of the apostolate meant the order turned in the last century to missionary work.
They were first missionary order into the then German colony of the Cameroons and then were invited by Bishop Kelly of Geraldton to come to take charge of the Beagle Bay Aboriginal mission.
Priest is r eturned
DETROIT: Father R obert Williams, the Detroit priest suspended because he attended the 1984 Democratic convention as a delegate, in defiance of his archbishop, has been reappointed as a curate at a new parish. His reassignment came after he had come to the decision that he would give up political activity.
"Thanks to God we have had a re-awakening of our charism in the last 40 years and the priest's community never forgets we are not only to cooperate but to be united with the laity in prayer, in life, in witness, and in work.

Two nuns receive honours V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II beatified two nuns who spent their lives battling discrimination, during an cermony o utdoor attended by an estimated 40,000 people in St Peters Square. Pope John Paul comSismended the nuns von Pauline ter M allinckrodt, founder of the Sisters of Christian Charity, and Sister Caterina Troiani, founder of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Egypt — for their efforts "to make social discrimination disappear." He also praised their work to form communities "capable of realising authentic ties of friendship and fraternity." Sister von Mallinckrodt, whose order now includes several houses in the United States, was born in Minden, Germany, in 1817 and died in Paderborn, Germany, in 1881. She began her order to assist blind children and was renowned for fighting for the rights of the handicapped.

A t a Pallottine dinner for clergy on Monday night, veteran missionary Father Francis Huegel of Beagle Bay talks with his superior general, Father Martin 1uritsh and Australian superior Father Eddie Wehrmaker. Father Huegel was ordained just one year when he arrived in Australia in 1930 and has spent most of the years since then at the Beagle Bay mission.
Brothel opens near church MELBOURNE: A surburban parish has become angry at the establishment of a brothel in its area and about which the local council is powerless to act. The brothel has been opened in an industrial estate behind St John's Catholic Church, Mitcham where primary and secondary children walk to school and a TAFE college is situated on the same street.
Radio broadcast of Rosary V ATICAN CITY (NC): Pope John Paul II recited the R osary on an international Vatican R adio broadcast but made no mention of a controver-
sial film about the Virgin Mary in a modem setting that has stirred Vatican protest. Previously, the pope had denounced the film as a distortion of the Christian Faith.
A telegram sent in the pope's name said the film "deeply wounds the religious sentiments of believers." The telegram was sent in support of a prayer protest to the film, organised by the Rome diocese.
Catholic judges at the Mass
Several days before the regular Papal Rosary recitation, the Vatican congregation for religious and secular institutes had asked religious in Rome to attend the Papal recitation "to making up the outrage caused to the Virgin.
Several thousand people, including many religious, attended the outdoor recitation at the Vatican. On the first every Saturday of month, the pope recites the Rosary on Vatican radio and the event is open to the public.

He said the legalisation of brothels or the fact that it was moved to another municipality did not mean that society could wipe its hands of the issue and just sit still and accept legalised brothels as final. Fifty parishioners of St John's organised a public meeting which attracted representatives from 30 civic groups to struggle against the legislation which imposes brothels against a local council's will.

The massive increase in litigation ultimately points to a failure of our society to understand how' to right wrongs from within, a Law Day congregation in St Mary's Cathedral was told last Friday. "More and more people resort to legal processes as the first course of action rather than the last" said the Trinity Uniting Church minister Rev Wesley Hartley who gave the address at the ecumenical service organised by the Law Society. Bishop Healy and Rev Tony Boult, precentor of 'St George's Cathedral, also took part in the service attended by robed judges and lawyers and representatives of government, police and the armed services. Rev Hartley said that the legal profession, like the medicine and church often sees only symptoms of what is a greater malaise. "The malaise, the hidden illness, the hidden injustice

Record Guest Editorial reprinted from The Catholic Weekly, Sydney. Recent strikes in the Queensland power industry, and the reaction of the government of Sir Joh BjelkePetersen, raise questions about the right to strike. The Catholic Church puts great emphasis on the rights of working people. In particular, the Church defends the right of workers to strike. The right to strike, however, is not absolute. The calling of a strike and its conduct are, in turn, governed by principles of justice and charity. These principles have been formulated gradually in the Church's great encyclicals on labor from Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum (1891) to John Paul II's Laborem Exercens (1981). In this body of teaching there are three main principles governing strike action. Firstly, there must be a proper reason for calling a strike. Secondly, the strike must not be pursued by unjust means, such as by damaging the property of others, or by infringing the right of others, for example, by preventing them from freely working. Thirdly, the good to be obtained by the strike must be proportionate to the damage caused by strike action and experience shows that strikes can have numerous bad consequences, such as loss of wages; harm to the innocent; social distress, animosity and unrest; loss of trade; the ruin of industry; and even the loss of a nation's credibility as a reliable trading partner. Great injustice can be inflicted by so-called "sympathetic strikes" when workers who have no just grievance with their employers go out on strike as a demonstration of support for other striking workers. This kind of action is particularly harmful in that it prevents people from continuing with the work which is their right to undertake. The damage done is especially grave when it destroys the capacity of self-employed people, and of cooperatively owned enterprises, to carry on their business. Catholic teaching also maintains that it is unjust to set in motion strikes which disrupt essential services, or which, for politican reasons, hinder the proper workings of a legitimately appointed government. On the question of the strike, Pope John Paul confirmed, in his encyclical Laborem Exercens, the teaching of his predecessors. The strike, writes the Pope, is recognised by Catholic social teaching -as legitimate in the proper conditions and within just limits." "In this connection workers should be assured the right to strike, without being subject to personal penal sanctions for taking part in a strike." However, the Pope continues: While admitting that it is a legitimate means, we must at the same time emphasise that a strike remains . . . an extreme means. It must not be abused. . ." In other words, the strike is a tactic of the last resort and, on this account, Catholic teaching rules out the "lightning strike" which is, by nature, anything but an action of the last resort. Moreover, the Pope goes on, the strike "must not be abused especially for 'political' reasons." Finally, on the question of strikes and essential services, the Pope teaches that "in every case" essential services must be ensured, "if necessary by means of appropriate legislation. "Abuse of the strike weapon can lead to the paralysis of the whole of socioeconomic life, and this is contrary to the requirements of the common good of society, which corresponds to the properly understood nature of work itself" It is interesting to note here, that the Federal Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, Mr Ralph Willis, seems to hold views on the strike question not greatly dissimilar from those expounded by the Popes in their social teaching. In a recent address, for example, Mr Willis saki the community had the right to expect the continued provision of essential services and not to be subjected to hardship because of any interruption of these services. "In this context," Mr Willis said, "the unions involved have a clear responsibility to avoid using their right to strike, except in absolutely exceptional circumstances." So, it seems, Christian ethics still have some influence in our society. Christians ought to be encouraged by this and find more easily the courage to spread the social teaching of the Church, particularly in these times of heightened political and industrial tension.

Reasons women leave Church
Scores of women attend
R OME: Many women leave the Church because the Church is insensitive toward their desire to "participate fully" in its "life and mission," an international Catholic women's organisation has told the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The V4 orld Lnion of ( :at holic Women's Organisations also urged admitting lay women to the permanent diaconate and establishing education programs for priests on the role of women in the Church. The mganisation represents Catholic women's groups with a corn bined membership of 30 million. The I7-page report cruiciscs the Church on several points, including the scar city of women in decision making positions, refusal to permit girls to serve at thc altar, and refusal to admit women to the diaconate. "Ibe international organisation is "deeply concerned with the fact that the Church is losing a considerable number of women and will continue to do so unless more sensitivity is shown towards women's concerns and aspirations to partici pate fully in the life and mission of the Church," the report said. It cited examples of discrimination toward women including lack of "proportionate participation in the decision-making processes in the life of the Church." "We cannot ignore the relative absence of women from advisory or decisionmaking bodies or positions in the Church," the report said. The absence of women cannot he justified "on the grounds of their inexperience in certain kinds of Church affairs or on the lack of certain skills," the organisation said.

US Propagation of Faith donors In 1984 US Catholics gave more than $43.6 million to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. While that figure is more than triple the 1964 amount of $14.2 million, it is down about 8 per cent when inflation over the past 20 years is taken into account. "It looks far better in raw figures than it actually is," said James Borut, head of
the society's national finance office. "We're actually behind because the figures did not increase as much as the CPI (consumer price index) did." At the end of 1984 it took $3.35 to buy what $1 would buy 20 years earlier, but in 1984 the society received from US Catholics $3.08 for every dollar it got in 1964.
"Not to minimise the generosity of the Catholic people, it's been tough keeping up" with inflation, said Borut. US Catholics contribute about half of the total amount that the papal fund-raising agency receives each year from around the world. Most of the rest comes from Western Europe and Canada.
Catholic Girls' re- union
Angry villagers force a retreat
MOSCOW: Reports are surfacing here Soviet militia tried to break into a chapel in the village of Martynov in the Rogatin district of Western Ukraine last year. When the villagers resisted, they retreated. The following day, 40 militiamen battled with the villagers who had come to defend the chapel and they were again forced to withdraw, but during the night where Ukrainian Catholics had refused to accept a government-imposed Russian Orthodox priest, soldiers destroyed the church within 1 5 minutes in broad daylight. They also destroyed icons, books and other religious materials. The church in Pnyatyn in the Peremyushlyany district, Lvov region, was destroyed by militia and KGB for the same reason. Several Ukrainian Catholic churches have been closed in western Ukraine because the parishioners had refused to accept a Russian Orthodox priest.

A reunion of 150 former members of the Catholic Girls Movement at the Good Shepherd convent recently was an occasion to recall that the first meeting, May 1 1 1 942 took place in The Record office where the driving force, Father Harold Lalor, was editor. The first twelve members — the -apostles- were enrolled shortly after and by October the movement had moved into r ooms and a chapel on St George's Terrace where Allendale Square now stands
Father Lalor had brought back from Europe the spirituafity of Joseph Cardin and the YCW and to that he added his own devotion to Mary, setting up Legion of Mary praesidia to handle the different areas of activity. A Marian rally in St Mary's Cathedral in 1944 was a crowning of the organisation that had reached 1000 members In May 1 945 the movement acquired its own training centre, Marian Lodge Father Lalor subsequently joined the Jesuits in 1945 at the time the bishops of Australia established the National Catholic Girls Movement along Cardijn's YCW lines

Easter... when the fasting stops but the hunger continues. For most of us, the end of Easter means the end of sacrifice; when we can return to our normal lives, comforted by the knowledge that our annual fast will once again help to ease the suffering of those in our family who are in need. But will it? The severity of world problems is such that no annual gesture, no matter how generous. will sustain for long the needs of the sick and the hungry. In particular, our
responsibilities continue for maintenance of emergency aid for Ethiopia, recent focus of world attention and the scene of so much suffering. And, of course, the absence of news headlines lessens neither the urgency nor the importance of our ongoing work in other African countries and in Asia.They are all part of our family and they need your continuing support.

Falling a victim to deception from DR PATRICK GILL, Claremont SIR: Father Uren falls victim to the original deception of the test-tube baby pioneers, Steptoe and Edwards, when he refers to the "simple case" of IVF. The biophysical and biochemical processes are extremely complex despite the apparent convenience with which human beings conceive in the world at large.
Hence any attempts to simulate conception artificially requires many complex manoeuvres by highly qualified scientists and doctors. Thus there are only "complex" cases of IVF as indicated by the very high failure rate in the order of 85-95 per cent. The diocesan bioethics committee provides evidence that it has been conned when it is prepared to approve super ovulation and the short term freezing of embryos in principle.
Both of these practices are completely unnatural and are certainly not "simple" as the 80 per cent mortality of embryos following freezing shows. The committee goes far beyond its so called "simple case" when it states: "In the case of the disposition of surplus embryos, the freezing of embryos, the use of embryos for experimentation and the use of donor sperm, donor ova and donor embryos etc the wishes of the couple should be strictly adhered to." This would mean doctors would be obliged to ignore their own codes of ethics in regard to human life and human experimentation — the declarations of Geneva, Nuremberg and Helsinki — in deference to the wishes of the couple. Doctors would not be allowed any ethical standards of their own. This is confirmed when the committee writes of "the obligation of the IVF team to respect the ethical and moral

Briefs: 0 MANILA, Philippines (NC) — Father Tullio Favali, an Italian missionary priest killed last month, knew he was in danger working on Mindanao Island in the Philippines, said members of his order. They said they also felt the same threat. "We often talked about death," said Father Sebastian° D'Ambra, Philippine superior of the order, the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions. 'We do what we do, despite the threats, because we feel we have to be faithful to the Gospel message," Father D'Ambra said. Father Favali, 38, was killed in the middle of the main provincial highway in a suburb of Tulunan, where his parish is located. At least 50 people were said to have witnessed the killing. Signed affidavits by the witnesses said the killers were members of the Civilian Home Defense Force (CHDF), a government backed paramilitary group.

Namibia, and leaders from other churches have protested the approval of an interim government for the South African-administered territory, and say they fear the move, described by proponents as a step toward independence, could mean further bloodshed in the ongoing guerrilla war. Nine church leaders, including Bishop Boniface Hauxiku, vicar of Windhoek, met with Namibia's administrator general Wilhelm von Niekerk to make their protest after South Africa's president Pieter W Botha approved the interim government plan developed by six Namibian political groups.

ETaipei, Taiwan: Catholic taxi drivers in Taipei, Taiwan, have been recruited as "itinerant missionaries" by the country's bishops. The program turns cabs into "Gospelmobiles" and drivers into "evangelizers". The Taiwan bishops' Commission for Social Development initiated the program by locating 68 Catholic drivers through a parish survey. Half of the drivers contacted, met, agreed to participate and put stickers on their vehicles announcing 'The Lord is travelling with us" as well as handing out leaflets with a prayer for travellers. Drivers participating in the project, in a nation where about 1 .5 percent of the approximately 18.5 million population is Catholic, have also received cassettes with a selection of music interspersed with Gospel sayings and faith messages to play for their passengers.

Military service a help to peace VATICAN CITY (NC) - Military service should be seen as a chance to help build peace, not as a meaningless interruption in life, Pope John Paul II told a group of Italian soldiers. Individuals should help bring a "Christian identity" to the military, the pope said in a talk at the Vatican. Military service, he said, finds its "best explanation" in "the defense and promotion of peace, both internal and international."
Christians should not "consider military service as a parenthesis, accepted perhaps with irritation, to be forgotten a.s soon as possible," because for a Christian, there "cannot be spaces or periods that don't make sense," the pope said. Such service is also more than a time of "personal growth," the pope said. The serviceman has a social role, too, as "a builder of peace, even when he must defend it by discouraging any injustice or aggression." The morality of the soldi-
Bishops in a protest Liberia: The Catholic bishops of Liberia have protested the arrest of two Catholic student leaders who were reportedly sent to the country's toughtest prison. The bishops of the West African nation criticised what they said wee the arbitrary arrests of Ezekial Pajibo, former president of Liberia Young Christian Students, and Alaric Tokpah, a university lecturer and lay chaplain for the Liberian group. Government officials said Pajibo was distributing antigovernment literature. No charge against Tokpah was made public, according to the student organisation. standards and concerns of the couple." Despite the fact there are three doctors and a scientist on the diocesan committee, they drop a clanger when they state: "What has become increasingly evident in the discussion is that how an individual human life may legitimately be said to begin is not one that will be solved by recourse to exclusively scientific criteria."
DOD It has been known in biological science for over a century that individual human life
begins at conception and this is confirmed in the cell theory which is the basis of modern biology. E.B. Wilson in 'The Cell in Development and Heredity", published in 1925, sums it up: "Long ago it became evident that the key to every biological problem must finally be sought in the cell for every living organism is or at sometimes has been, a cell." Despite their words "this committee firmly asserts the proority of natural fertilisation and generation," the committee was prepared to ignore the far-seeing words of Pius XII in 1965 regarding IVF, the responses of various bishops committees in the UK and
er's profession, the pope said, is tied to the ideal of service to peace. The pope called on the soldiers, who serve in a number of central Italian military units, to "contribute to the process of liberation" in society by looking to Christ.
"How many failures are owed to man's illusion of being able to better society without bettering himself." the pope said. He suggested that individuals look to their own lives before "lamenting certain social situations." The pope said the world today needed "strong people, well-rooted in God, capable of going beyond the slogans of consumerism and individual interest."
Australia and Monsignor Caffarra of the Vatican, the known scientific theories in regard to conception, the codes of ethics of doctors in respect human life and also human experimentation, in order to justify a very complex experimental medical procedure with and extremely poor success rate, referring to it as the "simple case".
To this end it has produced a 37 page document full of convoluted argument which might even confuse a doctor or scientist.

Germans ask f or our pardon
Concern about dignity
BONN: The bishops of West Germany have called on their people, in a letter marking the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II, to ask forgiveness for starting the war. "We cannot speak of war and national socialism without speaking of guilt before God and guilt before unnumbered others," the bishops said in a pastoral letter. "The Second World War started off from our country," the letter added. The letter decried what it called the Third Reich's "claim to overall power" and its distinctions between those deemed "life-worthy" or "life-unworthy". It acknowledged that not all Germans accepted nazism. hut said the efforts to oppose it were inadequate. There was "constant resistance," the letter said. "But such resistance was too weak" and allowed many people to die. "The Jewish people." the letter said, were affected to their "very core." The letter called on the Germans to analyse how the holocaust could happen and to ask themselves, "how lively is my will to resist ideological deceit, cowardly and thoughtless conformism, (and) covert or overt inhumanity in thought, word and deed, now and in the future?" The bishops also warned the German people to see existing dangers and not to feel complacent that Europe has gone 40 years without war. "The fire of war in the world was not extinguished after May 8, 1945," they said. "There is still torture and terrorism, tyranny and lack

of freedom and an unimaginable poverty unworthy of man. "The will for peace," the bishops added, "has so far not been able to effect demolition of the arsenal of the most horrible means of mass destruction." The bishops also called for the reunification of Germany and an end to the division between East and

Pope slates French film
VATICAN crry (NC) — A French film in which an actress portraying the Virgin Mary in a modern setting appears nude in several scenes has been condemned as a distortion of the Christian faith by Pope John Paul II. The film "deeply wounds the religious sentiments of believers," said a telegram sent in the pope's name to Cardinal Poletti, papal vicar of Rome. While the tf)legram did not name the work, it clearly referred to the film "Hail Mary" by director Jean-Luc Godard. 'The Holy Father joins in unanimously deploring, with the faithful of Rome's dioceses, the showing of a
cinematic work that, in treating fundamental themes of the Christian faith, distorts and scorns their spiritual significance and their historical value," the telegram said. "It deeply wounds the religious sentiments of believers, the respect for the sacred" and for Mary, who is "venerated with such filial love by Catholics and so dear to Christians," the telegram said. The message said that the pope would be "spiritually present- at a meeting of prayer and reflection later the same day in the Rome Basilica of St John Lateran. The meeting was organised by the Rome Vicariate to protest the film.
VATICAN CITY: In a meeting with Cursillo Movement members, Pope John Paul said certain kinds of people today form a challenge to the apostolic work of the group and the rest of the Church. 'There are those distant from truth or grace, who live in error or in sin. There are the restless and the uncertain, who wearily seek the meaning of their existence and the foundations of the whole universe. There are the lukewarm and the indifferent, who go through life tired and depressed, without transcendent problems or questions," he said in a talk in St Peter's Basilica. The movement's members, the pope said, should help "the person of today" meet Christ. Their task, he said, is "not to conform to the mentality of this century, but to transform" themselves and the rest of society. The Cursillo Movement, which began in Spain in 1949 as a Christian renewal effort, seeks to promote individual and organised apostolic action. Cursillo means "little course." Individuals are initiated into the movement through a three-day weekend focused on prayer, study and Christian action.

El Record reporter ROSLYN ROSS looks at the adoption dilemma where brothers and sisters may be thwarted in their search for each other despite the fact that natural and even adoptive parents are no longer living.
"Insensitivity' reason for women leaving From page 4 It also cited "a need to review the question of altar girls," and said that the organisation "is at a loss how to tell a young altar girl that her service is no longer permitted simply because she is not male.
CILILI "The recognition of the ministry of young girls might help to avoid the current loss to the Church of many young women," the report said. The world union, which represents women in 111 nations, also reported that in many countries, such as Switzerland, Great Britain, Germany, Canada and the United States, women "are now fulfilling all the functions of a deacon."

"The permanent diaconate has been reinstated for lay men," the report said. "It would seem that the time has come to admit lay women also to the permanent diaconate." The report also critised exclusively male liturgical language. "Many women feel alienation and rejection because of the use of exclusive language in some church documents and liturgies," it said, "even though most are aware that there is no intention of excluding or rejecting them." The report urged that education programs for priests be changed "to include study of the rightful role and dignity of women in the Church" and added that they "should be conducted by women as well as men."
The need for affirmation of unmarried women and childless married women also was underscored in the report. "The woman who is single, whether by choice or circumstances, should have positive affirmation or her vocation," the report said. "The attention constantly directed either to the family with children or to Religious seems to treat her as peripheral to the life of the Church," it added. "The

What do you do when you find out your husband is one of eight children, but most of them he has never met? For Liz B. of East Victoria Park the answer was simple . . . find them. The answer may have been simple but the process of finding brothers and sisters who have been adopted by different families, all at varying ages, is no easy task, says Liz. But success has come relatively quickly, she adds, given that her search began in August last year and she has already re-established contact with one brother and two sisters. That leaves two to go; one brother, who was adopted by a Victorian family and another sister who was adopted in Perth. Liz came to The Record with her full story because an advertisement in our pages had led to information regarding one recently re-discovered sister. She believes the sister remaining, whose name was Maria, could have been adopted by a Catholic family. Because the amount of information provided on adopted children is so small, says Liz, any details that can be provided about the family can go a long way toward helping in the search. The Department of Community Welfare will disclose only the following • the age of the adoptive parents at the time of adoption • the year of adoption • the occupation of the father at the time of adoption • the age and sex of other children in the family at the time • religion. "Ifs not a lot for us to go on," Liz said, "but if anyone knowing Maria reads it, or she reads it herself and knows she is adopted, it will all fit into place too well to be coincidence.

Project Compassion is one of the success stories of the Australian Church. Since its beginnings in 1964, it has raised over $20 million dollars — half of it in the last five years — for the relief of poverty and the promotion of human development. It has involved thousands of people in every parish in Australia. It has given to many an effective outlet for their commitment to social justice. It has brought hope and encouragement to an unknown number of people who may never have heard of Project Compassion, but who have been its beneficiaries. There are at least three good reasons why we should continue to support Project Compassion. The first is we have an
world's material resources each year. It has been estimated that an Australian can earn the price of a nutritious meal by 12 minutes work An Indian would have to work for over two hours to eam the same meal. Small wonder, then, that the bishops at the Second Vatican Council underlined our duty to give until it hurts: "People are obliged to come to the relief of the poor, and to do so not merely out of their superfluous goods." (The Church Today, n. 69). But it would be a poor Christian whose only reason for helping the poor was the fact that he or she was obliged to. The obligation to help is laid down to ensure that we do not forget the underlying
obligation to help the poor. This is not simply a matter of charity, but of justice. St Ambrose, in a sermon preached nearly 1,600 years ago, put it well: "You are not making a gift of your possessions to the poor person.
"You are handing over to him what is his. For what has been given in common to all, you have abrogated to yourself. The world is given to all, not only to the rich." Hard words? Perhaps. But they have the ring of truth, even today. We who live in the developed countries of the world account for 25 per cent of the world's population, yet we consume 75 per cent of the

'We also found out that he had met the adoptive brother of the sister we found recently and that her husband knew another sister; he had been serving petrol to her for 13 years but it wasn't until we tracked them down that they found out they were related 'We also found out that two of the sisters who had been adopted by different families had lived in the same street at one time . . it's very uncanny and can in fact be dangerous "I think one of the reasons that I have persevered with

While there are safeguards at the marriage licence stage to stop brothers and sisters marrying, you can go a long way before you get to that," she said. For Liz, a former school counsellor before the birth of her children, now aged three and 17 months, the search has been a mixture of frustration and satisfaction. "I suppose I started because I had nothing to do and thought it would help my husband," she said. "He wasn't too keen on the idea at the start but he has gotten used to it," she smiled. "He was the eldest in the family and had kept in touch with one brother and one
sister even though the eldest four had been institutionalised as youngsters. "He knew the name of the family who had adopted the fourth child, but that was about it. 'The first thing I did was look him up in the phone book but even though I found a name I was on the wrong track.

God is our Father. We cannot say this without accepting our responsibility for other members of the family. And the greater their need, the greater our responsibility. Jesus gave an entirety new dimension to this responsibility: "As often as you do this for the least of my brothers, you do it for
There is a third good reason for maintaining our support for Project Compassion, one that we may be unaware of, and that we may even find disturbing. We should make an effort to help the world's poor, not only because they need our help, but also because we need to help them.
01%N..0 It may not be a need that we feel very clearly, but it is there. Giving is not only an essential part of being Christian. It is also an essential part of being human. Even if there were no poor in the world, we would still have the need to give. As it is, we give gifts to our relatives and friends on
occasions such as Christmas and birthdays. We do this not because they are in need, but because a gift is a way of saying that we love them. It is a symbol of the gift of ourselves. This may be the greatest value of the donations we give to Project Compassion. They are a way of expressing our love for people we have never seen and will never meet. Father Stephanos Tedla, head of the Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat, who visited Australia for Project Compassion last year, put this in a memorable phrase which forms the theme of this year's campaign: "Do not help us because we are poor," he said, "but because we are your brothers and sisters." We could hardly do better than take him at his wordo

"My husband said that at one stage he had met the adoptive mother and suggested a meeting but when he had waited at the appointed meeting place noone arrived," Liz said. 'We found out later that his sister had never even been told about a meeting " It was three weeks from the reunion with the first brothT A new sister would soon be found. 'The funny thing about IC Liz said, "is that we also discovered that Wendy's adoptive sister and her husband were members of the same yacht club my husband belonged to.

having all this extra family. "I arranged for her to meet her older sister and we had another family get together as well." It was time to search for number six. All they knew was that her name was Angela Nichola, that she had been born on February 20, 1954 and had been adopted in 1956 by a family with three teenage sons. "I started on the electoral rolls," Liz said. 'With 10 volumes of around 300 pages each it wasn't easy. "It took hours and hours to get through even one volume and by the time I had finished two I was told by someone that her name had been changed" The next step was to search through birth notices in the West Australian. The aim was to try and find an adoption notice, and hopefully new name, for Angela Nichola. "It was back to the State Library and miles of microfilm.

"Her adoptive mother is still alive and she is really pleased about it all." It is only eight months since Liz began her search, with two down and two to go But the final two are likely to be the most difficult of all to trace "All we can do is our best," she said "It would be nice to see all of them getting together though tt's a pity that the adoption system is to secretive, especially in a case like this where the mother is dead and it is only the brothers and sisters who want to find each other" one the nu.xst important Christian virtues, but on the contrary behaves in an ever more active and aggressive way."

of a moral crisis
Drug LIVERPOOL: abuse is a sign of "spiritual or moral crisis", Archbishop Derek Worlock said at the opening of a drug dependency clinic. One answer to the question of why so many young people take drugs is that they reject "a society which is unable apparently to offer adequate reason for conventional living or f or undertaking longterm commitments," he added. The Church could play a part in supplying "ideals necessary to fill the vacuum which drug a ddiction may have occupied in the past." the Soviet newspaper said. Izvestia also claimed there was a current "boom" in Catholic publications, with anti-governperiodicals ment "appearing like mushrooms after the rain, despite a paper shortage and the insufficiency of Polish typography." The Polish government recently cut back allocations of newsprint to all the country's publications.
World Peace is Possible The continual growth and deployment of Russia's nuclear and conventional armaments, plus her strengthening grip on "free" countries by disinformation and infiltration is the practical evidence of the warnings given to the world by The Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima in 1917, coming to pass.

PERSONAL
Youth Forum Constructive social change comes about in large part as a result of the transformation of idealism into action — one of the most dramatic challenges facing theyouth of today. ROBERT COLES, a noted child psychiatrist and author who in recent years has worked with children in Soweto, South Africa, and in Central America, who has spent thepast quarter century working with — and writing prohficially on — youth in the poorest parts of the United States and in Northern Ireland, southern Africa, and Latin America, reflects on what he calls "the fate of young Idealism," in this article, the last in a two part series.
A presence that is felt
Of course, sometimes. the issue is not that of an idealism that is latent rather than manifest. but rather of a public suddenly without interest in what formerly obtained a great deal of attention. When I went hack North, to teach at Harvard College. in Boston. NIXiSachusscus, in I965, and try to understand how ghetto life in Boston or New York compared with the rural poverty I'd witnessed in korgia and Mississippi. I met many young people who were tutoring children in slum neighbt mai( x )d.s. or helping vulnerable, elderly people. or working as teachers in prisons — but their good and decent efforts were not nearly so well reported as were those of the civil rights activists I'd known down ':outh.
"Often, those who want to work for a better society have to struggle" Not that these Northern students minded; they hadn't signed up as tutors and organisers and camp counsellors and all around tillers in the Lords Nincyard in order to see their names in a newspaper or magazine. But they certainly were troubled and even angered when they began to read in the newspapers, by the middle 1970s, when the protests against the Vietnam War had subsided, that they were part of an "apathetic" generation, one turned inward with a vengeance. or "narcissistic". What they often asked was which young people fit such a description — them? A youth of 18. a woman of great kindness and eager desire to help teach ghetto children, put the matter succinctly to me this WV: "If you're quietly idealistic, no one notices — and that's fine; hut if my generation is going to he discussed as 'cynical' or 'selfish' — and I've seen both words used recently — I wish the evidence was put on the table." On the other hand, she did acknowledge that there
"At other times, the struggle is with themselves" •%asn't as much general support for her kind of idealism as there unquestionably was a decade earlier, for the young civil rights activists At certain moments youthful idealism connects with a powerful political movement, and the result is an accentuation of that activism: the sanction of the society. At other moments youthful idealism, no less honourable and dedicated. works uphill, to say the least. I am constantly surprised in my classes by the professed idealism of many students who, at the same time. tell me ( not to mention themselves) rather often that they must defer such motives or yearnings or aspirations in favour of "realism". Students, often the most keenly sensitive and genet- ous talk and even write of their interest in reaching out to others, less fortunate than they, only to surrender their time and enthusiasm and will to — well, what one hears those same youths. again and again, calling "the system-, or the requirements of a so-called practicality. I once heard it described in these unfOrgettably penetrating and sad words of a twenty year old student, revealing concerns about his own future in the story of his father. "All it takes is one drink fur my dad to get going: asking what life is all about, and saying he doesn't know where the time has gone, and telling me he wished he did all sorts of things like ( he once said) 'something for other people, not just me, me. me. Boy, did I ask him what he meant, when I heard him speaking those words! And boy. I'll never forget what he told me: 'I've been on a ladder to climb. and now I'm on top. and I'll go to church, sometimes, and I'll hear the minister quote Jesus, when he says the first will he last and the last will be first, and I'll wonder whether He meant me. and I'll wish I'd done this whole thing a little slower, and taken some time to think of moral deeds.'
Then he poured himself another drink." The youth had described the fate of not one person; he m4 have described, too, the fate of not only countless eager-beaver students, but their all too self-important teachers, who don't themselves stop and wonder what the purposes of education are, other than to accredit people, endlessly, for one or another ladder climb. I will never forget a student who came to sec me a year ago. She'd found herself, one day, pushing ahead of people in a store line, and an hour after that, ignoring someone who had stumbled and seemed dazed. because she wanted to be ahead of others in another line ( to buy hooks). Suddenly, in a moment of grace. she'd stopped and wondered what this life was all about — hearing her old illiterate grandmother's voice with its strong insistence that one not only get good grades. go t o good schools, but he good, do wmxi. She found it ironic that the morally active side of her, the idealism within herself, had been thus awakened. Perhaps her professors ( among them ) have something themselves to learn from such moral voices.

Stranger camps the This year R edemptorist Youth Team Ministry (RYMT) will be runfling three "Stranger" camps for Year 12 These students. "Stranger" camps are run over a weekend starting Friday evening and finishing on Sunday afternoon. The camps are called "Stranger" camps because they welcome year 12 students from different schools, mostly who have never met beforehand. The idea of the camps is to enable young Catholics to share their ideas about their faith and future with others of their own age who have similar problems and expectations. The program is a mixture of fun activities and small group sharing sessions. Very much a part of the benefit of these camps are the new friendships that are formed. These friendships very often outlast the camp and become very important in school life. The RYMT itself is made up of committed young Catholics aged 1"-25 who have come from many different backgrounds: Some students, labourers and young professionals. They have come together to work in youth ministry under the general responsibility of the Redemptorist priests. The three camps this year will be held at "Eagle's Nest" in Gidgegannup. May 20 — 22 (Monday to Wednesday of the school holidays). May 31 —June 2 and September 13 — 15. The camps themselves cost $25 (which includes food). For further information, contact Fr John Hill Redemptorist Fathers 190 Vincent Street North Perth 6006 (PO Box 74) Phone 328 6600.
At the Catholic Youth Council last week reports were given by representatives of activities taking place on the youth scene. Small initiatives add up to some great things happening in the lives of young people in Western Australia. Catholic The Youth council met for the first time since the vision weekend in March. A group of three people young from attended Geraldton, and Bunbury sent their apologies. office New were bearers Steve elected. Cavill takes over from Anne Harris as chairman. Mary Hart has been appointed to the CYC executive. Both Mary and Steve are leaders with the Redempyouth torist groups. TERTIARY WORLD Tertiary Students are making preparations for two big events in the next six months. The national assistant, Vrother Don Wedd
will visit Perth in June. No doubt he will be helping to prepare for the second main Australian event — the Combined Tertiary Conference to be held in January 1986. This conference will be a first for Australia The two groups on the tertiary scene are those belonging to the Tertiary Federation of Australia and the Tertiary Young Christian Students. Perth tertiary students are raising funds to launch and run the Ausconfertralian ence. At WAIT the Tertiary Christian Students movement recently held its first camp in seven years and participants were delighwith ted the weekend which focused on prayer and reflection. R eports from WAIT indicate that the students have organised activities under three banners, namely music, faith and social.
CHAPLAINS Two chaplains will be missed on the Tertiary scene:Jim Father O'Brien parish priest at Como and chaplain to WAIT will be leaving for Peru in June. Sister Adrian Dyt has been assisting TYCS based at the Cardijn Youth cenmust and tre return with her community to the Eastern States.

Chaplain vacancies have been made by Sister Dyt and Father Jim O'Brien. ANTIOCH On the Antioch scene there are several events to be kept in the diaries of all those interested.

WA is also well served by four full time workers while in the rest of Australia there are only two. The National Executive meetings for YCS will take place in Adelaide in May.

The Catholic Worship Book, published by Collins/Dwyers in two + editions: The People's Book, $8.95 and Full Music Edition, (price to Io be announced) with comments by the Reverend John Walsh, PhD, chairman of the Sydney Liturgy Commission.
These days, many people seem to be looking back over the last 20 years and giving an assessment of what has been achieved in the liturgical reform since December 4, 1963. That was the day the Constitution on the Liturgy was promulgated by the Fathers of the Vatican Council. Everyone acknowledges that much has been done and this is true also of Australia. The impetus given to the promotion of liturgy in 1963 was welcomed throughout the world and the enthusiasm shown in the Australian Church was remarkable. It pnnoked many imaginative and effective initiatives from individuals and groups so that the principles of the reform came to be appreciated and much assistance was provided in their implementation. In the liturgy of the Word, the Responsorial Psalm is given special importance. In other words, the texts of the Mass itself are what should first of all be sung so that the congregation is actively involved in the essential prayers and actions of the Mass. in the liturgical movement in Australia. It has the approval of the Australian Episcopal liturgical Commission
and it will be available in a people's edition with words and music and a Full Music Edition. It has been prepared with much thought and effort and the editors have carefully selected the musical settings that will best suit Australian congre-
gations. Iany styles of music are represented. There are eight Mass settings, numerous Gospel Acclamations and Acclamations after the Consecration. There are settings for the Responsorial Psalms and for thc Our Father. The music
for the celebrant's greetings and the people's responses is given in full. All that the people need to sing the liturgy is provided.
