5 CCESS N 'TAX TALI( Catholic appeals at the tax summit to continue the exemption of charitable organisations from sales tax appear to have been heard by the government but other Catholic proposals on the family unit have little national support. This is the view of Bishop Hickey of Geralctton who addressed the tax summit on behalf of the Australian Episcopal Conference. Bishop Hickey is in his second three year term as chairman of the Australian Catholic Welfare Commission. Bishop Hickey said he believes the weekend remarks of Prime Minister Hawke that charities would remain exempt from tax indicate the government had noted the issue which was one of three points made by Bishop Hickey in his 10 ute address.
The treasurer Mr Keating said during the summit he wa.s getting a clear message on the taxing of charitable bodies, said Bishop Hickey. For the other Catholic proposal that the family unit and not the individual be the basis 4a tax system, Bishop Hickey reported little sympathy. "There is a lot of pressure from feminists and welfare groups to make the individual the unit of taxation. Thev
Knights buy home
Only three months after the announcernent that they would take over the Mount St Camillus Nursing Home the Knights of the Southern Cross Homes project has acquired another 56 bed nursing home in Maylands. See page 16. The nursing homes fulfill the long standing wish of Southern Cross Homes to be able to provide full care system for the many people in their rapidly expanding aged accommodation. Southern Cross Homes manage 28 units at North Perth, 16 at Embleton and a Rossmoyne total approaching 39, with only three units of the latest addition yet to be taken up. Rossmorie also has a 42 bed frail aged hostel.

Bishop Hickey said he felt isolated at the summit because very few other groups seemed to share his point of view on the family tax unit, except the chartered accountants and the 1_2W Council.

"We have done a detailed costing on tax in relation to families and the effect of increasing the spouse rebate.

Avoid confusion VATICAN CITY (NC) — Following church teachings means "avoiding confusions and agitations" which work against Church unity, Pope John Paul II said to 230 representatives of the 20,000-member Order of Friars Minor. Franciscans should follow the advice of their founder, St. Francis of Assisi, and "promise obedience and reverence" to the pope, he said. "Following the authentic doctrine taught by the Church means also avoiding confusions and agitations which are always harmful to Church unity," the pope said. He
did not explain the "confusions and agitations." The speech came a little more than a month after the pope sent a strong letter to the order asking Franciscans to curb "theories and practices" which are outside the traditions of their order. The letter was sent to the general chapter in Assisi. The pope also took the unusual step of naming his personal delegate to oversee the Franciscans' general chapter meeting. The personal delegate was Archbishop Vincenzo Fagiolo, secretary of the Vatican Congregation for Religious and Secular

Any work for priests such as the Ministry to Priests program being currently launched will have a good effect on the issues of vocations says the new director of vocations and co-ordinator of the program, Father Justin Bianchini. "Priests helping one another can help us to be happy in our own priesthood, more optimistic. This will reflect on our people and any prospective candidate will note this fact," he said this week. "Because vocations are dropping and work increasing, some priests may be pessimistic about the future and wary of asking a young man to be a priest. They see a tunnel with no light. "When we support one another we Call be more settled in our priesthood and we can say to the young priest that he will get plenty of support. If we can say to the young man that it is a difficult but good life and that he will get a lot of support, then he will be more optimistic." Father Bianchini pointed out that a survey done by the Centre for Human Development had shown that it was not celibacy or even drink that was a problem for priests. Their two greatest obstacles were lack of trust in one another and their struggle with the spiritual life. "Our new program is trying to face this need by deepening friendships and giving each other support in the spiritual life," Father Bianchini said.
DUEl "Priests get along well with each other but when it comes to working together or supporting each other spiritually it is not so easy. "We are self-conscious about helping one another. We find it hard to talk to other priests about spiritual things. yet we are spiritual people. "On top of this are things like competitiveness and gossip that stifle confidence in each other." One of the impressive things about the current program. says Father Bianchini, is that it is on-going. "After our initial contract for two years it is up to us to carry the program along. The CHI) want us to own it and make it our own, to look as a team at the needs of the diocese for renewal." Many dioceses that had embraced the program when it was launched in 1972 are still continuing their efforts. "Some people have been critical of priests for not having kept up with things. "It has not been easy for people to understand that apart from a few, specialist priests are tied to a parish and cannot be replaced in the current shortage of priests. "Religious priests, brothers and sisters have had more opportunity for renewal," he said. Father Bianchini rejects any notion that a renewal program hints at a crisis amongst the clergy.
Numbers were above average
The number of priests who turned up for a convocation day as part of the Ministry of Priests program was well above average experienced in other dioceses, said the director of the program, Father Justin Bianchini. Archbishop Foley, Bishop Healy, 77 diocesan and 45 r eligious priests spent a seven hour session preparing for the spiritual awareness retreats that take place in ptember, Sister Pauline Fournier who had directed a team training course at Safety Bay last month returned to Perth to guide the local priests through a questionnaire that will help them discover their strengths and where they need to grow in their life generally. The priests had to deal with some 500 questions and statements that they answered confidentially, the results of which have been sent to the Centre For Human Development for analysis.
EEE A t the September retreat, each priest will receive a confidential profile of himself. A team of priests will be on hand at the retreat to discuss the findings pesonally with each priest. "The computer is said to be 98°, correct in its assessment of us, and up to 75°, of priests find the process helps them in their spiritual journey," Father Bianchini said.

"The survey looks at the whole of a priest's life, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, at the study he does, at his prayer, his relaxation and his physical exercise. "It uses the tools of the behavioural sciences to help priests in their spiritual lives." Father Justin Bianchini

Two beatified BOWRA & O'DEA by pope Funeral Directors
VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II has beatified a German who founded an order of brothers and an Italian who founded an order of nuns to help the mentally ill. Brother Friedhofen, who was once a chimney sweep, was the son of German peasants and founder of the Brothers of Mercy of the Help of Mary. Father Menni was a member of the Hospitalers of St John of God and founder of the Hospitaler Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Brother Friedhofen, born in Weitersburg, Germany, in 1819, died in 1860. In 1849, he founded the Brothers of Mercy Father Menni, born in 1841, joined the Hospitaler Order of St John of God, also known as the Knights of St John, and in 1867 was sent by Pope Pius XI to Spain to help re-establish the order in the nation in which it had been suppressed.

DUBLIN (NC): A joint committee which studies trends in interfaith marriages in Ireland has released a report stressing the need for adequate marriage preparation for couples. The committee, set up in the 1970s by the country's four main churches — Roman Catholic, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist — monitors trends in mixed marriages which appear to have difficulties or misunderstandings which require resolution or clarification. The committee welcomes interfaith marriage preparation courses. Because there are so many built-in social, political and cultural differences already present In interfaith marriages, the report urged priests and ministers to do their best to ensure that "factors other than denominational differences do not intrude in the area of mixed marriages."

Western Australia will send five of the 22 Australian members of the Schoenstatt Family to join 6000 others at the international festival in Coblenz in September for the centenary of the birth of the movement's founder, Father Joseph Kentenich. Groups in five continents are preparing for the event.
In the bloodletting war between newspaper magnates, — to say nothing of retailers, — in which publishers will give away the shirts off their advertisers backs to woo readers, this week's pretence at involving Pope John Paul II would have to take the prize for self-delusion. It is hard to know whether Rupert Murdoch's minions throughout his press empire were actually believing their own invention or laughing at the way other news and radio services pounced on the story in admiration. Since no lottery or bingo was attached to the news item, most half -awake readers did not wake up to the story until the second day when the Vatican obviously could do no other than deny that Pope John Paul, for all his outgoing bonhommie was going to be working for a newspaper mogul. E ven Rupert Murdoch's national daily The Australian found itself denying that the pope would be writing a weekly newspaper column even though their own story the previous day had never suggested that he would. Obviously one half of the staff at News America where the story originated were not even reading what the other half were saying in the fine print. Perhaps they were more carried away with the brilliant coup that a column carrying selections from the writings and speeches of Pope John Paul would be syndicated profitably by the News empires in America and England. Just to prove that they were not all stone, an undisclosed share of such royalties would be offered to the Vatican Library and the Papal Commission on the Family. There were even shady hints that Vatican cardinals had given the wink to the whole deal, possibly with the pope's knowledge if not approval.
After the Coblenz celebration a group of 3000 pilgrims move to Rome for a week to show Pope John Paul the life and international character of the work founded by Father Kentenich. One of the WA group going to Germany, Mr Gary Sudran, said that what moved Father Kentenich most was the concern the reality of God would fail to be recognised and acknowledged in the world and the freedom and dignity of each person be respected. "In Mary the Mother of God, Father Kentenich saw the example of man in his relationship to God. "In whatever he attempted to do in his life he knew that it was his task to help form this new person and community. -This was the basis for the beginning of Schoenstatt and for the now international movement." In Perth, the centenary is being honoured by the erection at Riverton of an attar and Schoenstatt shrine which is a

EEL] All power to the world that is supposed to be hungry out there for an injection of papal common sense. So far the pope has only to open his mouth one peep to be labelled re-actionary, conservative, unbending etc. because he dares tell human beings that babies are precious, that husbands and wives want to love each other for a lifetime and that the poor have a right to be alive as well as the rich. On the other hand Catholics who may wince at the subject of publicity are now forced to realise they have a pope who is not shy about pushing the barrow with which we have saddled him. He not only intends to cultivate the media who pursue him. He even appears to enjoy it. He possibly even enjoys the fact that Rupert Murdoch feels for him. Pity really the poor man who started the idea with the suggestion that he would read and extract the best current words from a very wordy pope. Most editors would give their all to find someone with the time and talent for such a formidable job. Perhaps that is what last week's story was all about.

EEL] There was a little point, therefore, in making too much of an obscure Vatican monsignor's observation that no permission is needed to use the pope's public speeches and writings. Even Cardinal Gagnon whose alleged support for the idea sent News Limited into war-whoops of having captured the world, rather soberly observed that the Holy Father's talks and writings are for the whole world and the Church is hardly worried if they are widely publicised for the good of mankind. The whole episode was good clean fun and neither News America or the Vatican needed to be upset at the vision of a media marriage. It simply showed that when the Church and the hard world of commercial reality cross paths there are some curious smiles and grunts from the drivers. First to be rather surprised would be the Vatican printery which contributes heavily to the Vatican deficit by printing L'Osservatore Romano which is packed to the ceiling with Pope John Paul's remarks and which nevertheless cannot attract the mass circulation which was envisioned in a world secular syndication. Around the world the editors of thousands of Catholic newspapers, magazines and periodicals would have paused for about 30 seconds to smile at the pope being the key columnist in a daily newspaper. Faced with the growing flood of writings from recent popes, and which has turned into a veritable deluge from the present Holy Father, Catholic editors can only observe that the most popular cry for more and more columns about what the pope is saying and teaching is matched on the consistency with which the same Catholics don't read even the moderate amounts of the pope's words that are printed at present.

Royal entourage for Manila cardinal
MANILA (NC): Reports that the wife of Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos spent an estimated $1 million to attend the Rome installation of Cardinal Ricardo Vidal of Cebu have provoked criticism from Philippine priests and lay leaders. Newspapers in Manila have printed many letters critising the new cardinal for his apparent friendship with Imelda Marcos. Her prominent presence at the May 25 consistory in Rome also has led to speculation about Cardinal Vidal's politics in a country where the Catholic Church in recent years has been a strong critic of the government's human rights record. Jesuit Father Joaquin Berms, president of Ateneo dc Manila University, spoke of the cardinal in one letter as "the first lady's new-found cardinal friend."
(L to R) At the Conference were Bill Thornton, Program Co-ordinator GROW WA Dr Gerald Tewfik, and Father Rodney Williams
The basis of GROW group The basis of GROW is traditional wisdom said the national co-ordinator Dr Albert Lacey at a seminar held at the R edemptons-t Retreat House. "It concerns itself with basic things such as truth, the power of truth and friendship," he said. GROW is involved with awakening people to unused capacities, convincing people they can change for better through educational programmes and techniques or personal support. In the seminar entitled Seeking Resources For Everyday Living other gues. speakers were Mental Health Services chaplain, Father Rodney Williams and Perth psychiatrist, Dr Gerald Tewfik. Father Williams told the group God was an important resource for everyday living. Dr Tewfik, author of A Friend In Need and Despair, Growth and Fulfilment, has practised in England, Africa and Australia. He has had vast experience in dealing with patients and indeed himself. In fact, he believes he knows almost every symptom as a personal reality. It is Dr Tewfik's strongly held belief psychiatric problems are mostly societal and not "chemical imbalances" as is generally accepted. He has had tremendous success in the treatment of mental illness with his unique affinity with, sympathy for, and understanding of another's troubled mind and soul. After 30-40 years brain chemicals are no further advanced and Dr Tewfik considers there will never be a chemical answer to these problems. GROW groups are flourishing in many Perth suburbs and in the country. Further information can be obtained from Irene, telephone (09) 328 3344.
Cor Manila, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Manila, has defended Cardinal Vidal, saying he was not responsible for Mrs Marcos' extravagance. If Mrs Marcos positioned herself prominently at all functions where the cardinal was a prime participant, that was not his doing, Cor Manila said. When Cardinal Vidal returned to the Philippines Mrs Marcos and generals of the armed forces were at the airport to greet him. The next day, photographs of the welcome appeared on front pages throughout the country. Before going to Rome in late May, Mrs Marcos said she would serve as "governess" to 84 priests and nuns whom she was taking, all expenses paid, to the consistory.

Survivor of Jap invasion Horace Santa Maria reflects that pre-war Malacca, in its days as a British colony, was an ideal place in which to grow up. He and six brothers and two sisters were brought up along British lines while retaining the customs, traditions and language of the Portugal from which their forebears had arrived centuries earlier. The Santa Maria children lived by — and almost in — the sea from which many of their compatriots earned a living as fishermen, and they themselves could swim like fish without ever having been taught.

Soccer, cricket and hockey were included among the items on their sporting program and Horace still plays badminton. But music was probably his greatest young love. It led him to proficiency on the guitar, piano, saxaphone, clarinet and harmonica. The traditional music of Malacca and songs of old Portugal were among his repertoire. And there was the Boy Scout movement. He joined it at a very early age and ultimately rose through its ranks to become State Commissioner and National Camp Fire Leader.
Horace Oliver Santa Maria (the Santa is usually abbreviated to Sta) has just retired from St Mark's at Bedford after 46 years as a teacher in Malaysia and WA. He was born in Malacca, then a British Straits Settlement colony, on April 9, 1922, and educated there by the de la Salle Brothers. He topped his class in every year. At the age of 17 in 1939 he started his teaching career at the parish school at Muar in Malaysia (then Malaya), 30 miles from his Malacca home and scene of one of the fiercest battles in which the AlF's Eighth Division was involved in the ill-fated Malaya campaign of 1942. He joined the British Army as a volunteer towards the end of 1941 and, through an unusual set of circumstances, spent the remainder of the war as a civilian under Japanese occupation in Malacca. In 1946 he resumed teaching at the St Francis Institution run by the de la Salle Brothers in Malacca and remained there until he migrated to WA in 1972. A Boy Scout from an early age, he became State Commissioner of the movement in Malacca and National Camp Fire Leader. He started teaching at St Mark's in 1974. Horace and his wife, Iris (nee Nonis), members of the Dianella parish, have three daughters, four sons and 11 grandchildren.
A bright student under the tutelage of the de la Salle Brothers, he was always top of his class to the day he completed his secondary education at the end of 1938. At the beginning of 1939 he started as a teacher at the parish school at Muar, 30 miles from Malacca, on a salary of four pounds sterling a month from which two pounds was deducted for board and lodging.
I M Despite the meagre pay, he loved teaching from the outset — an enthusiasm that was to last throughout nearly hall a century of his professional career. In 1939 also, in Malacca he joined the British Army as a volunteer and used to come down from Muar every week for parades and training. Just before the Japanese invasion, the Muar school closed and Horace got a job with the railways in Malacca. As the enemy advanced down the Malay peninsula his unit was sent south to defend Singapore, but he was left in Malacca to help in the vital lob of running the railways. On the night before the Japanese walked into Malacca, he was given a choice by his army superiors. He could either go south and surrender with the rest of his unit, or throw away his uniform and take his chance as a civilian. Understandably, he chose the latter course.

Bishops' appeals., for unification
SEOUL (NC) — The Catholic bishops of South Korea have appealed for unification of their republic with North Korea. Referring to the dividing line between north and south, the bishops said: 'We do not want the 38th parallel as an armistice line. "We don't want any kind of boundary to divide our motherland. "We want everyone in our motherland to be able to travel without hindrance from Sin-jiju (on the northwest border) to Pusan (on the southeast coast)." The statement was issued during a May 27-31 bishops' meeting which coincided with Red Crosssponsored unification talks. The talks were held in Seoul, South Korea's capital, between North and South Korean political and
diplomatic representatives. The statement was part of homily material prepared for the June 23 commemoration of the beginning of the Korean conflict in 1950. It would be a mistake, the bishops said, to rely only on political, military and economic means to unite the country.
Three elected in parliament BUDAPEST: Three Roman Catholic "peace priests" have been recently elected to the Hungarian parliament. The election of the three has caused disquiet in Rome for it took place without Vatican authority. This point was stressed by Joaquin Navarro, director of the Vatican press service. Navarro found it difficult to understand how the three Hungarian bishops concerned (Cardinal Lekai of Esztergom, Bishop Szakos of Szeand kesfehervar Bishop Timko of Hajhad dudorog) assented to the canditatures, or how the priests themselves had accepted nomination in view of the fact that canon law forbids priests to exercise political office. According to Hungarian state radio, however Cardinal Lekai, the Hungarian Primate, expressed his satisfaction that the Roman Catholic Church was represented in the parliament. He himself, he

Teacher's life anti-policy CHICAGO (NC) — The Diocese of Cleveland will not renew the contract of a homosexual teacher Robert Navis because he has "publicly espoused a lifestyle not in concert with the teaching of the Church," said Benedictine Sister Christine Vladimiroff, diocesan secretary for education. Navis, 34, lost his job at the all-girls high school, where he taught choir and the music theatre ensemble since 1979, because he is living in a homosexual relationship, and not because of his homosexual orientation, the diocesan official indicated. Sister Vladimiroff said "it is our judgement that promotion of this lifestyle by a member of our staff is unacceptable and also problematic, both for our schools and parents." The local parish priest, Father Martin, said Navis, who lived in the parish, became more public, "advertising" his homosexual relationship.

Why do Christians find themselves talking so frequently today about issues of social justice? How are some Christians working for a more just world? This week Katharine Bird interviews Holy Cross Father Theodore Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame. His efforts to promote justice range from work for immigration reform to programs that combat hunger. Joe Michael Feist speaks with Father Rollins Lambert, who allowed himself to be arrested at the South African Embassy. Father Lambert also indicates that for many people the work of justice begins very close to home. David Gibson talks about some of the building blocks in discussions of social justice among groups of adults in the church. Finally, Father John Castelot tells the story of theprophet Amos, who ledhis listeners to see that it wasn't only other people who were capable of injustice.

Justice: the word is heard so frequently in today's church that it appears to rank among the priorities of Christian living. But what is justice? Who does the work of justice — and why?
The question of justice
f
By Katharine Bird While serving as chairman of the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy, Holy Cross Father Theodore Hesburgh delved into the murky question of what justice might mean in cases that involve refugees and illegal aliens. With other commissioners, he participated in hearings in cities with large immigrant populations. It was not uncommon at the hearings "to see a person come to the attorney general and say, 'I'm illegal and want to testify'," said Father Hesburgh. Often the stories told by the illegal aliens followed similar patterns, he added. For instance: A man from Mexico said he couldn't find a job in his village, which had a 50 per cent unemployment rate. He had a wife and children he couldn't feed and knew that just across the border was the richest country in the world. So he walked over the border and got a job. Often, Father Heshurgh continued, an illegal alien said he came to the United States because "there's no hope where I was." Even if he only worked a few days weekly at a semiskilled job, it meant his family wouldn't go hungry-. In such a complicated area with so many ramifications, the illegal aliens' willingness to testify in public helped to personalise the problem with which the commissioners were struggling. After studying the issue for three years, the commission presented its

recommendations for reform of U.S. immigration policy in a 450-page report to Congress in 1981. When he looks hack over his academic career, "justice issues are a central theme," Father Hesburgh said. He traces his interest hack to his graduate-school days when he met on Sunday mornings to discuss racism with other students at The Catholic University of America. Those discussions led him to other issues, such as justice in the Third World and world hunger. A person with a reputa-
tion for taking action to solve problems, Father Hesburgh said he's served on 15-20 organisations over 30 years. From his experience, Father Hesburgh is convinced that justice issues are close at hand. They can be found in the families, the neighbourhoods and cities where people live. "Ten times weekly," he said, "people write me to ask how can I do some good." His reply, after expressing surprise that people think he can pick out a justice cause for someone else, is always the
Father Hesburgh is convinced that getting youths interested in justice issues early on means they'll be hooked for life. At Notre Dame University, students learnt about social justice issues in their classes and at conferences on particular topics. They also can work for social justice in their leisure time.
At a 1981 Washington press conference, Father Theodore Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana and chairman of the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy, explains some of the recommendations in the 450-page report the commission sent to Congress. With him are, from left, House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas, and Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., a commission member. Father Hesburgh, who has been actively involved in many social justice causes, says that he gets discouraged sometimes but it's important to "keep plugging along, to be persistent. -
By Joe Michael Fiest On a cloudy, cool and rather dreary Washington, D.C., day last December, Father Rollins Lambert rode down Massachusetts Ave., past fluttering flags outside the stately embassies that line the thoroughfare. That day he had a special destination and intent: He was headed for the South African Embassy, there to demonstrate against apartheid and provoke his own arrest. Why did this priest feel it necessary to be arrested? Apartheid, South Africa's system of racial segregation, is evil, Father Lambert said later. —To be silent in the face of such evil may look like acceptance of it; to make a statement or gesture in protest is the least one can do," he added. Father Lambert would be the first to say that

of "structural injustice", such as exists in South Africa. There, he said, the whole system is designed to subjugate the black majority population. To begin working for justice, it is of course necessary to know and understand a given situation, he said. "Ignorance is an excuse for not doing anything," said Father Lambert. But when that ignorance is penetrated by whatever means, the person is under somewhat of an obligation to become informed and act for justice. Again using South Africa as an example, Father Lambert said that once informed, every U.S. citizen "has three people in the Congress to turn to." At the least, he added, the individual can communicate general feelings and let his representatives know apartheid is considered a serious problem. It is vital, the priest believes, for people to organise to fight injustices. "Suppose you have racial or ethnic tension in a community. People can organise to combat the injustices that are usually the cause of the tensions

Making a stand working for justice does not require one to march in protests or be arrested. But what does it require? "In a positive sense, justice and charity do begin at home," Father Lambert said. "We have to think about what others in the family have a right to or a right to expect." This includes, but is not limited to, material goods such as food, clothes and shelter. But there are also emotional and psychological rights, Father Lambert indicated. "It really is unjust for a husband or wife to deprive each other of the time and attention and love that they are entitled to, or to deprive their children of these things. For example, if one member or the other spends all his or her time working or in some recreational pursuit, that's unjust," he said. The next step, for church and society, continued Father Lambert, "is to extend the search for justice beyond the family" — to the neighbourhood, nation and world. Father Lambert thinks there must be awareness

reflects the truth of what St Paul was to write much later. "God chose those whom the world considers absurd to shame the wise; he singled out the weak of this world to shame the strong" (I Corinthians 1:27). It was Amos, a man from Judea's hills, that God sent to prophesy to the northerners. But Amos had three strikes against him before he even began. He was a southerner sent to preach in the
On a cold day last January, Auxiliary Bishop Emerson Moore of New York leads a group of seven Black bishops as they picket the South African Embassy in Washington. Father Rollins Lambert, African affairs adviser for the U.S. Catholic Conference, who himseff was arrested at the embassy a month earlier, said South Africa's policy of racial segregation is evil.

north, a rustic sent to admonish city slickers, an uncomplicated person given a mission to people for whom he had absolutely no sympathy. In fact, their way of life revolted him. S till, he answered God's call, and he carried out his task with courage and surprising ingenuity, given his background. The collection of sermons which bears Amos' name open with him preaching in the north's central shrine: Bethel. Here he was sure of a large audience. He began by denouncing Israel's enemies: Philistia, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah. Then, without pausing for breath, he lashed out at Israel. The effect was stunning. Amos had elicited the people's good will by itemising the crimes of their enemies. Then, without warning, he put them in the same category with their enemies: 'They sell the just man for silver and the poor man for a pair of sandals. They trample the heads of the weak into the dust of the earth, and force the lowly out of the way" (Amos 2:6-7). The concern shown by Amos for the rights of disadvantaged and explo-
ited people is paramount in the sermons of all God's spokesmen. Thus we read that when the Israelite people had decided on a fast to obtain God's favour, and nothing happened, they complained: "Why do we fast, and you do not see it? Afflict ourselves and you take no note of it?" God's answer came through the prophet: "(This) is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke: sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own" (Isaiah 58:3, 3-5). If anything, Jesus intensified the call for social justice. His every action was a lesson in love for the poor, the exploited, the outcast. He linked together the two great commands to love God and love neighbour, and he removed all limits from the concept of "neighbour." The writers of the New Testament repeated Jesus' teaching insistently. For them, a professed love of God had to be accompanied by the pursuit of justice.
By David Gibson faces behind the statistics are seen. The concern for social justice seems less remote — and much more urgent — when "the facts" include the stories of real people — unemployed parents whose family life had disintergrated; abused children. In light of the points above, it seems you don't have to be a Christian to be concerned about justice. But if you are a Christian, the discussion of social justice will likely take on a special character. • For. Christians, reflections on justice are often sparked by the Beatitudes or the parable of the Good Samaritan. How Jesus treated victims of prejudice and societys outcasts is likely to become the model for justice. Thus, among Christians, a discussion of justice can easily lead to an examination of what the life of Jesus implies for life today. • Again, among Christians, to speak of the rights of the dignity of human beings is to speak of the image of God in all people. It becomes an exploration of something sacred. • And. among Christians. discussions about building a just society become more than explorations of kindness or fairness or compassion. human Can social justice really be achieved in this imperfect world? But I can just see the discussion of that question as it develops among a group of Christians. They'd begin to talk about whether or not worldly success is the criterion for evaluating our participation in God's work. . . about the value in all efforts.

She was a woman who was moved to the depths of her soul by the sight of children digging through rubbish bins for food and yet one who could find healthy humour in the blackest moments of life. Dorothy Margaret Tangney was born in Perth on March 13, 1907 the third of Eugene and Ellen Tangney's nine children. She was of Irish background on both sides and as an adult was to revel in an opportunity to visit the country of her origins. As a young child Dorothy and her family spent time in the South Western timber towns of Holyoake and later Marrinup and moved to Fremantle when Dorothy was eight, where her father found work on the wharves. Here Dorothy, an exceptionally bright child, attended primary school at the Convent of the Sisters of St Joseph of the Apparition. In 1919 she won a scholarship to attend a high school that was also run by the St Joseph Sisters in Fremantle. But her parents, Dorothy realised, did not have the 10 pounds necessary for her school books and uniforms and in

When Dame Dorothy Tangney died recently she closed the door on a remarkable chapter of history — as a woman and a politician. But hopefully, the closing of that door will not mean obscurity for a Western Australian who must rank as one of Australia's greatest daughters. Little has been written about this daughter of a Fremantle wharfie who rose, through her own impressive abilities and sheer determination to become Australia's first woman senator. She was the only Labor woman in Australia ever to be elected to either house of Federal Parliament. (There have been others since of course). She represented the ALP in the Senate for nearly 25 years and was the first woman to preside over any Australian Parliament. A dedicated community worker she was created Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1968 and the 10th electoral seat in Western Australia was named Tangney in her honour in 1974. She achieved much, despite a constant battle with ill health which saw her confined to a nursing home for the last seven years of her life. In those last years of her life little or nothing was heard of Dorothy Tangney, but Perth writer Connie Hooker is one person who is determined that her life and work will not be forgotten. Connie Hooker has set herself the awesome task of writing a book about Dorothy Tangney the woman and Dorothy Tangney, the politician. The book is nearing completion and in this, the 42nd anniversary year of the Federal election which gave Australia its first woman senator and the year in which Dame Dorothy died, Connie Hooker talks to Roslyn Ross about the woman she has long admired.
O DDEDOODD the spirit in which she would continue to act in adult life . . "she did something about it." She and her sisters found work selling lottery tickets and raised the necessary money. Her mother was furious when she learned of this, but even more so on discovering that the lottery involved was illegal.

Senator Tangney is being shown to her place in the' Senate in 1943. Her guide is Senator Collings who was then the oldest senator while at the time, Senator Tangney was the youngest.
"But," as the indomitable Dorothy said later, "by that time I had the money." She was 13 years old when she completed her Junior Certificate, won a gold medal for music and passed the Alliance Franca ise examination. The following year she began studying for her Leaving Certificate but illhealth interrupted her course which was not resumed until the next year. III-health was to be the bane of her life but it was the sheer will and determination of the woman that enabled her to achieve so much despite It. D OD In 1922, at the age of 15 she gained her Leaving Certificate. Her deep interest in the welfare of humanity led her to a teaching career. She began working as a monitor at Plympton State School in the industrial heart of Fremantle, and at the same time pursued her studies at the University of Western Australia. She knew first-hand the crippling effect of poverty on a family because her junior teacher's salary was necessary to supplement the family finances. But she saw too, the effect of poverty on her young pupils. She noted how many of them had become listless and unable to concentrate and soon uncovered the reason — they were starving. Depression conditions hit hard at a time when there was no attendance money for unemployed waterside workers, nor any appreciable assistance for any type of unemployed worker. This was also in the days before child endowment had been granted and families were forced to exist on the "dole" which amounted to the miserable sum of seven shillings per person per week.
Such suffering all around her was to make the fires of her own humanity burn even brighter. Dorothy joined the Labor Party at the age of 16 and soon decided the quickest and most effective way to bring about improvements in the living standards of the disadvantaged was to be in parliament. But that was in the future For the time being she would do what she could to bring some joy into the lives of her thin-faced pupils. She organised hikes and weekend camps for these children, many of
whom had never been on a holiday before. Expenses were kept to the minimum with the redoubtable Dorothy often cooking under the most primitive conditions. It was during these years that she founded the Ideal Club for young people in Fremantle — a meeting place for the young who had time hanging heavily on their hands. Her interest in young people was never to wane. Through these years she was one of the prime movers in the Parents' and Citizens' Association and was State
Born the same year as Dame Dorothy Tangney, Connie Hooker has been a lifetime supporter of the Australian Labor Party. She has always been interested in politics and in particular in the career of Senator Tangney. She was able to gain access to the T angney papers which w ere made available by D ame Dorothy's two r emaining sisters, Mrs Nellie Grant and Mrs Patricia Wall, Connie Hooker was born in London on February 10, 1907 approximately one month before her biographee, and came to Western Australia with her family late in 1913. As a young woman she was employed as a shorthand typist and secretary in Perth offices before accepting a position on the staff of West Australian Newspapers in 1933. Here she was in charge of t he Pictorial Research Department for 34 years, r etiring at the age of 60 in 1967. Initially finding retirement less than rewarding, she was fortunate in gaining the position of confidential secretary to Father E.J. Stormon, S.1., rector of St Thomas More College, within the University of Western Australia. L ater she worked for eight years as secretary to D ame Mary Durack, r enowned Western Australian writer, finally "retiring" for the third time at the end of 1980 following an accident.

"I recalled in particular addresses made by representatives of the two major parties preceding that momentous election of 1943 when John Curtin led the Labor Party back to Government in a landslide victory. "Dorothy Tangney, then an attractive golden girl, fair-haired and blue-eyed, had spoken at several such meetings expressing sincere concern for her fellow Australians and her country. "Remembering that valuable members of our community are often the last to hear that they are recognised and appreciated, I turned back from the Church door to speak to her. "It was too late.'' She had gone and so had my only chance of ever speaking to one whose career and personality had always so intrigued and interested me. At that stage I didn't guess that some day I would embark on writing her biography. "She was still a more or less shadowy figure when I began investigating the
"The impact made upon me by all this information was such that I became increasingly aware of the many aspects of this woman's character and of her responses to the varied experiences and demands of her remarkable life. "I recognised in her a persisting spiritual force which linked all her efforts and provided an underlying cohesion and sense of direction.

"Just imagine 24,000 young people holding hands, waving them over their heads and singing. —The sight was beautiful but the feeling was even better. I know I will never see anything as beautiful as that again." The pope said Mass for the 200,000 young people gathered in Rome. He centred his address on Christ our Peace and e xplained in detail that through the choice of God made by each individual, came unity and peace He called them the generation of the third millenium and spoke of his certainty Jesus could fulfil all the needs and desires of the youth of today. The message was enthu.siastically received and reflected in the numbers going to confession. One young person said. "Today the pope gave me so much and I feel that confession could be one way to help me to open myself more, to understand and to put into practice what he said."

When the chips are down hope springs eternal and is inspiring to see among young people. Last week I visited Ric Althuizen, a former Catholic Parish Youth movement leader. I'm sad to say it was not at home, but the intensive care ward of the Royal Perth Annexe in Shenton Park. On the previous evening Ric was involved in a traffic accident that resulted in injuries to his spine and neck. The outlook is grim. Your continual prayers for Ric and family are requested. I heard the tragic news from his brother John. R ic's family will have several weeks of anxious waiting as to the full outcome of the injuries.
CIEJD At this point the medical profession is slow to play the prophet and predict possible outcomes. No one can be absolute about the result of rest, care and hard work by the patient. There are the unknown variables. Yet despite tragic circumstances Ric was full of hope the day after his accident. In the few words we exchanged. Ric said "God will look after me - He looked after R ick McFall, didn't He!" Just over two years ago Good on Friday R ichard McFall (Rick) another member of CPY sustained extensive injuries in a motor vehicle accident.

° hildren's Story Hour a } Stories of the Saints Ignatius was born in a castle in 1491. His parents were rich and powerful people in Loyola, Spain. Ignatius wanted to be great and famous. When he was young, he loved to read stories of great generals and kings. He enjoyed love stories in which a beautiful princess falls in love with a handsome knight. As a young man, he seemed to live up to his dreams. He became a brave soldier and went to war to defend his country. He fell in love. Ignatius wanted fame and power and money. For him that is what made a person great.
All was going well for him, until one terrible day. He was leading a group of soldiers during battle. A cannonball hit him in the leg. He was seriously hurt. His friends carried him to a nearby castle. They laid him in bed. A doctor put his leg in a cast but did a bad job. There were complications. The leg took a long time to heal. Ignatius had to spend a long time in bed. To take his mind off his pain and to fill the empty days, Ignatius asked his friends for books about his favourite kinds af stories about wars and beautiful women. But they did not have any books like that in the castle. They had only two books. One was a life of Jesus. The other

told stories of saints. Ignatius began reading these books because there was nothing else to read. Soon he began to feel a big change tak-
ing place inside himself. Reading about and great men women saints made him change his ideas about greatness. He now wanted to be
great like St Francis or St Dominic. Ignatius read how Jesus and the saints great by became doing whatever God wanted them to do.

They prayed. They reached out to help other people, especially people who were suffering. They were more concerned with helping the little people of the world than with becoming great and famous. Ignatius decided that when his leg was healed, he would change his whole life. He would help people see how great God is. Instead of fame, power and money, Ignatius now wanted to be more like Jesus. It was a hard struggle, but Ignatius changed. He made some good friends who shared his new ideal. They also wanted to find greatness in loving God and other people. The pope allowed Ignatius and his friends to become a community called the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits. The Jesuits took as a motto: "All for the greater glory of God." Ignatius became a great Christian, a saint. We celebrate his feast day in the Church each July 31.

A look at books Compiled by Roslyn Ross.
Two stories of courage Doran, Child of Courage, by Linda Scotson, published by William Collins, $17.95. Reviewed by Roslyn Ross.
September 1983 — skiing for good balance.
This is a story of courage and determination and one told so eloquently by a most remarkable lady, that it involves the reader completely . . . through the worst setbacks, to the greatest triumphs. This is a book that will give hope and courage to everyone who cares for a handicapped child and will touch the hearts of all those who believe in real 'miracles' . the kind of miracles that come from hard work, faith, sheer pig-headed determination and unconditional love. When Doran was born, his father had recently taken his own life and his mother, artist Linda Scotson. already

had a two-year-old daughter. Life had hit hard and Linda Scotson was already reeling from the loss of her husband . . life would have been difficult enough if all had gone well with the new baby. But within days of the birth, Doran was found to be suffering from a rare blood incompatability which had caused irremediable brain damage. After all the tests were done Linda was told by her paediatrician that there was
no hope. He took her hy the shoulders and said: "Do not look for a cure. It's impossible. There is none. Promise me you will not waste your time." They were fighting words to Linda and then and there she determined that her child would at least walk. From this moving beginning, Linda Scotson tells. stage by stage and in a flowing, natural style, the story of the agonising struggle to reverse the awful trick
The little boy who 'breaks'!
Quentin, a story of a life salvagedby hope and unflinching courage, by Kerry Kenihan, published by Penguin, $5.95. Reviewed by Roslyn Ross. Quentin Kenihan is probably the best known little boy in Australia . . he is also one of the unluckiest.
dicap was purely a physical one. that within the little body lived a person of great wit, charm and courage.
For Quentin's bones are as fragile as eggshells. Born with severe osteogenesis imperfecta, he has experienced, in his 10 short years, at least 160 fractures Until he was four. his parents accepted specialists' opinions that Quentin would never walk — mere gravity would shatter his bones. It WAS claimed that nothing could be done for him but four years later, not only had Quentin achieved mobility but had developed into an intelligent, witty and stubbornly independent boy. His story is an inspiring one, not only for his own remarkable courage but for the courage and unflagging love and devotion of his parents. Kerry Kenihan and her husband Geoff are both journalists and when Kerry sat down to write this book, she had little idea of the pain that would be purged as she worked. For it is a story of pain. Not only of the almost constant pain suffered by Quentin as he lurched from one fracture to another, but also of the psychological pain his parents felt seeing the suffering of their child and knowing they were helpless to stop it. In fact, in some heartbreaking cases, they had actually caused it. A limb held wrongly, an embrace too tight, a sudden jolt and a bone would break. It tells too of the pain felt by parents of disabled children, as they ride the emotional see-saw between the demands of the disabled

A new approach to lacemaking combining tradiand stitches tional techniques in an unusual way. and using coloured threads to produce modern and practical pieces. Hourglass. by Danilo kis, published by Faber and Faber, $24.95. Danilo Kis is beginning to be recognised as one of the most important writers in Eastern Europe. Garden, Ashes and A Tomb for Boris Dacidosich have been published all over the world to great acclaim. Hourglass is certainly the greatest of Kis's books.
In Hourglass, Kis chooses to focus on an unimportant man known only by his initials E.S. Mysterious at first. Hourglass becomes more and more horrifyingly clear as the reader learns E.S. is a condemned man. Kis is writing about the extermination of the European Jews, but does so in miniature as he follows his protagonist through the last months before he is rounded up and sent to a concentration camp. A devastating enduring work. In A Dark Time. Edited by Nicholas Humphrey and Robert Jay Lifton, published by Faber and Faber, $9.95. Poets down the ages illuminate the insanity of war in
taught Doran to walk There was nothing she would not do to help her sun and it is impossible for anyone reading her story, not to share in the excitement of the triumphs and feel the pain of the failures. Today Doran is six years old and he can see, hear and run. At the end of 1982 Doran was given the Woman's Own Child of Courage Award. Doran: Child of Courage is a success story but Linda Scotson never shirks from telling it as it was. This is not just a fairy story with a happy ending. Simply reading about the efforts that were made to help Doran is exhausting . . . let alone actually participating in them. But it is a story worth reading and Linda Scotson's easy blend of honesty and humour, emotion and wisdom make it a moving testament to the strength of the human spirit and to the sadly, often untapped power of that spirit.

There are no courts of law on the high seas and no independent witnesses. According to the Geneva Convention, red crosses on a ship guarantee immunity from enemy attack The 'San Andreas' is a hospital ship but the members of her crew do not trust the lights that beam at night or the red crosses on her sides, to keep her safe. Above all. they do not trust the enemyI boats. But this is a story of sabotage and the enemy is within. The Captain and the Chief Officer of the ship are seriously injured in an enemy attack and the Bosun, Archie McKinnon, has to take charge. He also has to find the saboteur, the enemy within, who has a homing device which is leading them relentlessly into enemy hands.

PUS arms used to slaughter Justice seekers MANILA, (NC) -- Weapons provided by the United States to the government of Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos are helping to "continue the slaughter" in that country, said Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila. Speaking after his return to Manila from a three-week US visit, the cardinal said he had told Vice President George Bush and State Department officials that military aid to the Philippines was being used to kill Filipinos seeking justice and better lives for their families. "I told them as simple as I could their guns were not a solution," he said. 'They listened politely (and) asked some questions, but I don't know if they really were convinced of the value of what I said. "I told President Reagan the same thing when I met him last September. He was very cordial, but again, whether he was convinced in any way, I don't know. "I told them more Filipinos have been killed during the Marcos years than died during World War I and II. I told them \,there has been a holocaust in my country," he said.

Pope urges for social justice VATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul II has told Brazilian bishops to continue working for social justice, especially for people forced to migrate for a better economic life. We are seeing "a concentration of goods and of force in the hands of the few, in contrast with the undeserved misery of many," the pope said. He decried the increase in large, "necessary migrations in an effort to overcome want or to find better living conditions." He also warned the bishops to safeguard the church's preferential option for the poor from partisan ideological interpretations. "Above all, the Church is not a Church of one class, of a clan or of a party," he added. "An ideological rereading of its message" will only cause divisions and disorientations, he added. "It is not the proper mission of the Church to impose social reforms or to indicate the means necessary for their realisation," the pope said.
"In this respect the honorary Knights' Board of Management and consultants had extended their areas of e xpertise to include Dr Frank Prendergast ( medical profession) and Mrs Margaret Hubery (nursing profession). Mr Kevin Bertram. the homes' administrator with past experience as a hospital administrator and nursing home consultant will manage Two Pinesand Mount St Camillus where he is stationed.
