REASONS FOR REAKDOWNS
St Mary's investiture
NAIROBI: Marriage break-ups and infidelity result when couples fail to realise that no human being can totally satisfy the thirst for love, an expert in marital affairs said at the Eucharistic Congress. Dr Michele Guy was talking on "Fidelity, the hall mark of love," during a seminar at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre. She said many men and women yielded to temptation and pushed their partners aside asking themselves: -What a shame I did not meet him sooner . . ." and others, "this is the right partner for me . . Dr Guy said often, many couples indulging in infidelity didn't realise that the same process would recur as not one single person was capable of fully satisfying another's desires. She said problems arose in marriages mainly due to childish illusions carried into adulthood where a man or a woman idealised the partner and failed to identify before marriage the existing shortcomings. Quoting from the from Father Bible, Dr Guy said couPAT CUNNINGHAM ples had to avoid "this INOWINANOw endless pursuit of a mythical ideal partner. We must leave father and mother and our idealised but childish Parishioners in the vision of love." Great Southern have Stressing to many people

fidelity could be downright impossible and sometimes painful, Dr Guy said couples had to seek love from Jesus Christ as it was the only love that could be fully satisfying. She said fidelity had come to be considered totally impossible and even the Bible wasn't afraid to discuss it as being so. Dr Guy further quoted the gospel according to St John where Jesus asked those who hadn't sinned to stone an adulterous woman and where the apostles protested violently to Christ, that it were better for one to remain unmarried if one couldn't reject one's wife.

Vietnamese in Mass
The Feast of the Vietnamese Martyrs was celebrated by the Vietnamese Catholic Community in the Sacred Heart church, Highgate, last week. Mons Michael Keating presided at the solemn Mass which was concelebratedby eight priests, the chief celebrant being Father Francis Ly Van Ca. Among the concelebrants was Father Jacques Vo Thanh Xuan from Wellington, New Zealand, here on a visit. The church was filled to overflowing with members of the Vietnamese Catholic Community and some invited guests. The clergy entered the church in procession preceded by the Cross-bearer, acolytes and representatives of the Vietnamese Catholic Community carrying the traditional incense sticks which were solemnly placed in the vase arranged to receive them.
DOD Behind the altar stood a very large and beautiful structure prepared by the community and representing the map of Vietnam on which were superimposed the cross and beneath it the life-size figure of a martyr who was looking down on the scene of the martyrdom of one of the faithful. A scroll bearing the words: "MAU TU DAO LA HAT CHONG DUC TIN" went winding through the scene, and below, in large letters, stood the English translation: "The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christianity." The Church in Vietnam has a long history, dating back to the 17th century when the early French missionaries planted the seed which was to grow and spread so rapidly. The first seminary was opened in 1666, the first
by SISTER VALDA t wo Vietnamese priests ordained in 1668. The first Vietnamese congregation of women. Les Amantes de la Croix, began in 1670. Even during the 17th century the Christians were being persecuted and also during the 18th century, but it was in the 19th century the persecutions were particularly savage when between 100,000 and 300,000 Christians gave their lives or were asked to suffer for their religion. Of that number, 117 have been officially beatified by the church. Again during the %let Minh and the Viet Cong wars of the mid-twentieth century Vietnamese Catholics suffered terrible repression.

Order's ancient history by a Special Correspondent
When Godfrey de Bouillon entered Jerusalem in the summer of 1099 with his Crusaders following its capture from the Saracens, he found the successors of this devoted band of Christians. He concluded that not only they, but the Holy Places themselves needed a constant guard. From this need stems the aims and objects of the Order. The roots and traditions of the Order as it exists today go back to this period in the Middle Ages. The military section of the Order bound itself by vows of chastity, poverty and obedience. It adopted a white uniform with the Crusader's Cross, surrounded by four small Greek crosses, which remains the basis of the uniform of the Order today. The other sections of the Order provided the welfare personnel, and the means to maintain its work. Following the Crusades and the return of the Knights to their homes in Europe, the spirit of the Knights Crusaders survived as Knights-Religious in many parts of the Western World. The mystical character and the heroic ardour of the many examples of military prowess kept alive the spirit of chivalry; while in many small communities, names and armorial bearings recalled its Jerusalem origins. In the Holy Land, although times were difficult, and the Order might almost be said to have ceased to exist, there were alw-ays faithful and loyal members who during these dark days maintained the spiritual and corporal works, and continued to give material assistance in defence of the Church.
E] The Order itself however never died. It received energetic resuscitation from Pope Alexander VI in 1496. Popes Julius II, Leo X and Clement XII aLso gave the Order their vigorous support. In 1796 Benedict XIV gave the Order a new Constitution. When the Latin Patriarchate had been abolished, the Franciscan Custodian of the Holy Land selected the new Knights to he created from among the fervent Christians devoutedly attending at the Holy Sepulchre. The Ceremony of Investiture followed the form of the ancient ceremony of Christian Knighthood. It is substantially that form which is used in the Order today. The Order continued its religious support and works of charity which made it through the centuries worthy of repeated recognition and praise by Kings. Bishops and Princes while succeeding Popes gave it their unfailing support. In 1847, Pius IX on the 23rd July restored the jurisdiction of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. He bestowed on the Patriarch the responsibility of ruling and administering the Order. Twenty-one years later the same SoverThree officials at last weekend's investiture at St Mary's Cathedral are (from left) Knight eign Pontiff divided the members of the Commander Clifford Holloway, president of the WA section; His Excellency Knight Commander Order into three grades; Knights of the Francis Cuss, Lieutenant of England and Wales; His Excellency Douglas Jenkins, a member Grand Cross, Knights Commander and of the Grand Magisterium, the governing body in Rome.

The Record, 12 — 18 September, 1985
The origins of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem are somewhat uncertain. Some historians believe they lie in the guard the Apostle, St James, placed on the Holy Places in the period immediately following the Crucifixion. Others trace it to the community settling in Jerusalem during the reign of Emperor Constantine, when St Helen not only found the True Cross but also removed the pagan temples which the Romans had built to cover the sites of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre. Certain it is a Christian community lived and devoted itself to the care of pilgrims from the early fourth century to the end of the eleventh century when the Crusaders arrived in the Holy Land to drive out the Saracens and afford it some protection.
Finally Pius XI decided that the main task of the Knights was to provide for the support of the work of the Patriarch by offerings and other services. In 1888, Pope Leo XIII approved the entrance of women into the Order, and stipulated that they should be three grades as with Knights: Dames of the Grand Cross, Dames Commander and Dames. This section of the Order derives its spiritual origin from the Empress St. Helen and the charitable women who, during the Latin reign, ministered to the sick pilgrims in Jerusalem. In 190'. the saintly Pope Pius X reserved to himself the Office of Grand Master. At the same time he delegated to the latin Patriarch the power to nominate candidates for elevation to the Order. He aLso took the first steps towards setting up what arc now known as Lieutenancies. when he gave authority to certain Knights to act as Vicars for the Latin Patriarch. These Vicars, who were resident in Rome were granted the power to administer the Order during a vacancy in the Patriarchate. Since that time, and up to the end of 1961, thirty Lieutenancies and five Delegations have been established in Europe and throughout the world. During the first World War — in 1915 — Pope Benedict XV made it permissible for Cardinals and Bishops to incorporate the Cross of Jerusalem in their coats of arms. Pope Pius X. Pope Benedict XV and Pope Pius XI were all Grand Masters of the Order. In January 1928, Pius XI united the Association for the Propagation of the Faith in the Holy Land to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre restoring the Patriarch to the Regency of the Order, which abrogated the decree of 1907 whereby the Holy Father became the Grand Master. Under this new regime, no letter of appointment was valid unless countersigned by the Secretary of Apostolic Briefs. The arrangements proved to be not altogether satisfactory, and on June 16 1940 during the second World War, Pius XII appointed Cardinal Nicholas Canali as patron and protector of the Order.
C= Further, in view of the war His Holiness later removed the headquarters of the Order from Jerusalem to Rome, directing a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church should hold the Office of Grand Master, while the Patriarch of Jerusalem would enjoy the prerogatives and title of Grand Prior. From that time, Rome became the Seat of the Order. the Grand Magisterium was established. and in 1949, Cardinal Canali became the Grand Master. Pope Pius XII also gave the Church of Sant' Onofrio (St Humphrey) on the Janiculum Hill in Rome to he the ecclesiastical headquarters of the Order, where the administration is now established in the adjoining monastery. On the death of Cardinal Canali in 1961, Cardinal Eugene Tisserant was appointed his successor, and is at this date the reigning Grand Master. During the year 1962, the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem was listed in the Annuario Pontificio as an Order of Chivalry under the protection of the Holy See. It is recognised by the Vatican City State having been given heraldic privileges by the Papacy. It is recognised in Italy by official decree, and is included in the international list of Orders of Chivalry.

Stole truc wheels to buy food The war in Europe had not long finished and the captured German army trucks were being carefully guarded by the Americans at Gmunden in upper Austria. Stephen de Szoeke, his wife lngeborg and a son had finished up there in the confused movement of destitute civilians that followed the war.
S tephen Charles de Szoeke, real estate consultant and retired State manager of Remington Rand, was born in Vershetz — then in Hungary, now in Yugoslavia — on January 7, 1916. He matriculated from the high school at Szeged in Hungary, spent a year in the army as a volunteer artilleryman and then c ompleted a diploma course in commerce at Budapest University. Work was hard to get in the Depression and at one time he had a job weighing beetroot in a sugar factory before becoming a commercial cadet with the then biggest chemical company in the world, I.G. Farben. He served in the defeated Hungarian army against the advancing Russians and after the war managed, with his wife and children, to get into the American zone of occupied Austria. There he was a driver and interpreter with the American forces as a he civilian while struggled to find enough food for his little family and himself. The family migrated to Australia in 1949 and he worked in a variety of jobs, including farm labouring, in NSW before joining Remington Rand with which he was to spend 29 years until his retirement. Stephen and his wife lngeborg (nee Muller) are members of the Corpus Christi parish at Myaref and he has served on the parish council. He is a former president of the Appiecross branch of the Knights of the Southern Cross. Stephen and Ingeborg have three sons — Attilla, Roland and Andrew (an acolyte at Lynwood).
Food was very scarce and Stephen and lngeborg were distressed to see their sons (after the second was born) pot-bellied from malnutrition. In the constant scrounging for something to eat, Stephen had encountered a local farmer who wanted to build a trailer but had no wheels for the vehicle. The captured trucks were the answer, but they were under strict guard. As a former Hungarian army officer, Stephen was no stranger to reconnaissance and he planned his raid carefully.
I C = It took four trips at dead of night, silent removal of a wheel each time and a careful trip — trundling the big wheel — back through the security network. The delightful farmer paid the price agreed on — eight sacks of potatoes. Those potatoes saw the little family through the bitter cold of the winter that followed. Life was like that at Gmunden. If you were not adept at playing the black market you did not

For instance the issue pistol of the German army, the 0.08 Parabellum, was much sought after by the
Americans. The refugees had some but they did not part with them easily. You had to scrounge and hoard marketable items and trade up to get hold of one. Then came the deal with the Yank and you had enough food to last you and your family for some time. This soft of existence was a far cry from Stephen's earlier life as the son of a well-to-do Budapest family in a comfortable home. In multi-lingual Hungary he had learnt Serbian, German and Hungarian at school and French from a governess who had fled from the Saar. His English was rudimentary but later proved to be good enough — along with his other languages — to get him a job as a driver-interpreter with the Americans. There had been a lot of trauma before then, however. The Hungarian army with which he served had been decimated by the Russians, he had left Dresden only hours before it had been levelled in the notorious air raid by the Allies which claimed 50,000 lives, and he had come to a stop in Saxony. His parents and German wife had left Hungary after the German Embassy had warned them that the advancing Russians were systematically killing every German in their path. His wife and son had made their way to Gmunden, and there Stephen joined them. tt was the start of a four-year
soiourn.

Stephen worked on labouring jobs in various parts of the state for the NSW Railways for some time, but he was separated from his family

So for four years they moved from farm to farm in the Hunter and Havvkesbury valleys and the Shoalhaven district It was hard work with no days off, but they were together. Stephen became pretty expert, too.

Decrying the arms race The Archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Bernardn, decried the heavy military expenditures of world nations in the face of abject poverty, human suffering, disease and lack of basic human needs. Speaking on the topic, "Satisfying the Hungers of the World's Children - A Call to Peace and Unity" - the American cardinal said: 'Tragically, at present, more r esources are being committed to the destruction of human Irfe than to saving In 1981, he said, the world spent over $558 billion on military appropriations and $650 billion in 1982, of which $100 billion went to nuclear weapons with developing nations spending $190 billion on military hardware. Said Cardinal Bernardin: 'The large-scale purchase of non-nuclear military hardware continues to siphon off financial resources which are solely needed to combat serious social problems which have significant impact on human lives." Cardinal Bernardin lamented that the children of the world represented the most vulnerable among us. In Ethiopia and the Sudan, children face the numbing effects of famine. In North America and Western Europe, they live in an atmosphere of materialism and secularism. The black children of South Africa daily face the indignities of apartheid and discrimination, while in Central America and the Middle East they are daily confronted by violence, war and violations of human rights. The children of South-East Asia experience homelessness and abandonment.
Hunger for power in suffering A seminar on pastoral challenges of crises in Africa was told that most of the suffering was a result of greed for power and money. Father John Waliggo, one of the main speakers, said that because of greed, millions were starving in a world endowed with plenty of food. Priorities on food production had been ignored in favour of elitist gains, he said, and called on the Church to preach love of God and mankind The priest said present-day youth had been confused by the old traditional values and what the Western World called modern society. During the colonial days, Africans were made to believe that their cultures were primative and that they had to copy Western culture rather than be creative. Smart people keep their names in front of Ore best people when they

But this, Father Waliggo said, conflicted with the wish of the traditionalists who wanted to build national cultures, discarding the so-called Western ones. "Presently, there is tension between the propagation of world culture. "The majority of youth have been caught up in the middle and distruct both cultures, ending in confusion," he said. This has brought disresamong children pect towards their parents. Father Waliggo added.

The Archbishop of Nairobi, Maurice Cardinal Otunga, condemned those who regard Africa as a ground for off-loading religious and political teachings which have been rejected elsewhere.
-We are young and novices, hut know all that glitters is not gold because it can easily blind us - we must help the people see the truth" he said Africa has been turned into a "dumping ground" for "all sorts of ideas discarded eLsesvhere." The Church in Africa had the duty to re-examine these so as to shield Africans from danger. He also attacked certain stereotypes about Africa in the minds of outsiders. -lhe Church must consider the important contribution of the Church in Africa to the Universal Church," he said. He went on: "It can be said, in all humility, that Africa the Church of Africa - has a message for the world". "We need not carry the burden of names such as the Dark Continent, that have been put on us. "We can show to the world that light can emanate here. "And we can be confident that the Church of Africa can truly enrich the world"
Vaccines, not guns Cardinal Bernardin, expressed concern over the arms race and mounting destruction of human life. The Archbishop of Chicago, told the International Eucharistic Congress three million children could be immunised with vaccines for the price of one modern fighter plane, costing $20 million. "It is estimated 800 million people suffer from malaria throughout the world. "Each year, one million children die of the disease in Africa alone," lamented Cardinal Bernardin. Diverting one half of a day's global military expenditure would finance the whole malarial control program of the World Health Organisation, he said. "The key moral question is how we relate politics, economics and ethics to shape our material interdependence in the direction of moral interdependence and to bring the technology of the arms race to its appropriate surbortlinate role," said the cardinal.

Bishop's plea The Church and State must address themselves to the question of social justice and fair distribution of the world's goods and opportunities, Bishop Ndingi Mwana a'Nzeki said yesterday. He condemned bribery, tribalism, corruption and racial discrimination at the national level and called for a just economic order at the international level. Bishop Ndingi, who is also the chairman of the Kenya Episcopal Conference, said the Church had a responsibility to help mankind fudge between right and ss-rong. "If leaders in the church were silent when things are had, when human rights are denied, and when people are oppressed, they share responsibility with those who are perpetuating the evils, and will be fudged alongside with them," he said The bishop noted Pope John Paul II had been described as the voice of conscience. "We who are his followers and who support him as the leading voice of conscience must keep the lead 'We must be most scrupulous about the rights of others and we must be the first to share what we have with others especially the poor and without discrimination," Bishop Ndingi said At the national level, he said, Christians had to turn away from bribery, tribalism, corruption, racial discrimination, "and busy ourselves with genuine development of the nation". Said Bishop Ndingi: "Now is the time for developed nations of the world to

examine the needs of developing nations and in with them in addressing the gigantic problems they face." The bishop said mankind had the resources in knowledge, expertise, technolow, medicine and science to overcome the difficulties facing the world if only they could overcome selfishness and use what they had generously and in a brotherly way.

KIMBERLEY LAY MISSIONARIES WHAT ARE THEY? They start by being average practical Catholics prepared to share whatever expertise they have with the Aboriginal children and adults of the North-West of Australia. They serve the Church, placing themselves at the disposal of the Bishop, "as vicar and legatee of Christ", (Vat II, P382), and assist his apostolate in a spirit of dedication. They give themselves totally for 2 years, living in groups, co-operating in fraternal love in the spirit of the Gospels, serving on isolated missions and townships. Fully accepting their Christian duty to evangelise according to their own individual abialities, they are not attached to any religious order but have their own formally constituted Association and elected Council under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop. Lay Missionaries do not accept a salary, only their keep and pocket money. Their fares are paid and a small sum on completion of their service.
THE KIMBERLEYS or the Diocese of Broome is the far North-West part of Australia. almost 3 times the size of Victoria. A subtropical region, with a 'wet' season through the summer months; of varied terrain with beautiful beaches but a large part taken up by the Great Sandy Desert. Since 1959 many caring Australians have contributed in no small way to the personal growth and education of the Aboriginal people, as lay missionaries. They have formed close and lasting ties. Others are needed to continue and improve existing services. Needs for 1985: Include Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary, Domestic Science Teachers, D.C.

The face is a calling card of who we are
"Spirituality is what draws a person closer to God, which means that it is also what draws a person closer to his or her own humanness, since it is in that that God's will is expressedin each of our lives." ("A Way in the World" by Ernest Boyer Jr., Harper and Row, 1984.) "Reach within yourself. There you will find God. Reach out to others. There too you will find God. Back and forth it goes, until in the end edge and centre become one. Everywhere you turn, you meet God." ("A Way in the World" by Ernest Boyer Jr., Harper and Row, 1984.)

Down marbled corridors deep within a magnificent columned structure in Washington, DC, paintings of the men and women who make up the American drama are on display. Here, in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, are images of American Indians and western explorers, philosophers and schemers, heroes and villains. A special gallery in the museum contains a number ofphotographs taken by Mathew Brady, the great 19th-century chronicler of American leadership. The dominant public figures of the 1860s are here: Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States; Union generals Ulysses Grant, William Sherman and Philip Sheridan; Henry Ward Beecher, Protestant clergyman and writer; and CardinalJohn McCloskey, the first American cardinal. And there are the haunting images of Abraham Lincoln, with eyes sunken, face wrinkled and the sad expression of a man watching his children engage in a savage struggle. People seem to be drawn to the Brady photographs. But why? What value is there in studying the stern expressions of men and women in stiffposes andpeculiar dress? 1T'hat relevance does it have? These same questions were asked in Brady's time. One answer was offered in the Oct. 6, 1860, edition of the New York Times. Brady's photographs, the newsaper said, are "the means u'hich we shall bequeath to our posterity of knowing uhat manner of men and women we Americans of 1860 were.

Sharpening the focus
"A Way in the World: Family Life as Spiritual Discipline," by Ernest Boyer Jr. "The great gift" of family spirituality is that family members can find God in the routine activities of daily life, writes Boyer. In family life and especially in parenting, people have a "direct participation in the cycles of eternity and the opportunity to see within the processes of individual love the working of a greater love," he says. Boyer tells how his great-grandfather "spoke of God as of someone present right there in the room, listening and responding to all that was saidand yet somehow also touching all the rest of the unverse." Boyer adds that because his greatgrandfather "saw God in every person he met, he helped others to see Godin themselves.' From his great-grandfather, Boyer learned to think of God as "gentle, small, human" and as "vast, mysterious, powerful." (Harper and Row, 10 E. 53rd St., New York, N.Y. 10022. $12.95.)

The Record, 12 — 18 September, 1985
For Colleen's babies, David 2, and Katherine 18 months, are the focus of a new open adoption scheme that may lead the way in encouraging young mothers to give birth, rather than death, to their babies. It is a scheme which offers real hope at a time when abortion rates are soaring, because, many believe, of the severe restrictions placed on relinquishing mothers in traditional adoptions. When faced with a choice of giving birth to a child you will never see nor probably hear of or not giving birth at all, it is tragic, but surprising that so many choose the latter. For Colleen and her husband Rod it was a chance for a family far sooner than expected. Both are committed to the idea of open adoption, believing their children will benefit from knowing their birth mothers. -We couldn't see the point of keeping them apart all those years when adult reunions are becoming so common," Colleen said. Having one child would have been wonderful enough, says Colleen, who underwent 15 operations in a desperate bid to have children, but having two is a miracle. The Searles have been married for 14 years and both expected to have a house full of kids. It was not until Colleen sought medical advice on her inability to become pregnant that she discovered a severe attack of peritonitis at the age of seven had severely damaged her reproductive organs. She was prepared, she said, to keep on having operations but after the 15th her husband put his foot down and said: "No more. You don't have to stand here and watch you come out of the anaesthetic."
For Colleen and Rod Searle, their "babies" are special in more ways than one. They are special because they are the children they thought they might never have and they are special because they are the focus of a study on a new style of adoption . . . "open adoption". What this means is that not only do the children know they are adopted but they have regular contact with their natural mothers. There are many who now believe that the severe restrictions on relinquishing mothers in traditional adoptions have contributed greatly to the abortion statistics. It is not the case, they say, of mothers not leaving their babies but rather one of not being able to "want" them because of circumstances. When faced with the choice of giving birth to a child you will never see or hear of again or not giving birth at all, it is not surprising that so many choose the latter. It is these sorts of reasons which make the open adoption experiment so exciting. While liberalised adoption laws in other States have made it easier to trace adopted children or relinquishing mothers there are many who believe it is still not enough. Studies in recent times have highlighted the emotional anguish suffered by women who have given up their babies never to see or hear of them again . . . not even to know if they are still alive. Other studies have shown that adopted children may suffer an identity crisis from being unable to inherit a genetic "family past". The Searle study is being monitored by Professor Robin Winkler, the director of the University of Western Australia's Adoption Research and Counselling Service. Professor Winkler says that children suffer no confusion in other cultures where open adoption within the extended family is centuries old, particularly in the Pacific and Africa. He said there were two main arguments against open adoption — confusion on the part of the child who had two sets of parents; and the fear of many adopting parents that their relationship with the child would be threatened.
Accepting she would never have children was not easy, Colleen said. "But I suppose the first time I was told was probably the hardest," she added. "I was 25 then. The second, third and fourth time they told me it was not so hard." That was 10 years ago and even then the Searles were talking about adoption. When Colleen finally had to have her tubes removed it became their only option. A committed Catholic, Colleen couldn't envisage a family without children. She is the eldest of seven children and Rod is the eldest of five. In 1979 they put their names down to adopt a child, r ealising that the wait would probably be a long one. "I know people who put their names down a year before us and they still don't have a child,- she said. -The fact that we have two beautiful babies still seems like a miracle to me. The miracle came about, Colleen adds, partly through her involvement with Concern, a support group for infertile couples. 'The group is very valuable and aims mainly to help infertile couples feel nor -

that the children are alive and loved. . . nothing else really matters. This has given them an opportunity to be raised in a family but to know where they come from." She said most adopted children know they are adopted anyway, it seems such a sensible step to maintain contact. "The children call their natural mothers by the first names, but really, because of the age, they are like big sisters to them and little sisters to me. Neither of the girls push themselves on the children when they do see them . . I think it is enough just to see them. "Often the grandparents come along as well which is lovely." "We have thought if the children keep in touch with their relinquishing mothers, one day they will want to see their fathers. But that is something we will tackle at the time.

mal . to show them they aren't freaks.Ft was at a Concern meeting, addressed by Come Schumacher, the co-ordinator of Pregnancy Help, that Colleen heard of a young girt seven months pregnant, who was looking for an alternative to traditional adoption 'The president of our group knew I would be interested and was in fact feeling people out. We rang up the next day. At first the mother said she wanted a non-identifying situation but we said we had nothing to hide. "In fact we didn't meet her until after David was born. We named him together. It was a name Rod and I had always liked and she wrote to us and said she liked it too.
DOE 'We got him at two months because it was felt it would be better to give the natural mother at least eight weeks to make a final decision.'' Young David tears enthusiastically around the family room as Colleen talks about the joy of his arrival. While David is not adopted but is in legal custody with the Searles, Colleen says it makes no difference to his security. "The thing is that his mother didn't know us enough to trust us and that's fair enough," Colleen said. "I suppose if Rod and I were both killed then she could ask to have David back but then I would rather he went to her anyway if that did happen. 'The thing is that she is very shy and very young and really only wants the best for David. . . it must have been hard for her to decide what to do. I think she kept the secret of his birth well hidden so noone knows . . . that's a lot of pressure for someone under 17." Both relinquishing mothers are under 17, says Colleen In a way it makes it easier because when they see the children they are very much like big sisters. Both girls were at school when they had their babies
and neither were in a position t o keep them, although Katie's mother did try. "It was good she tried, for her own peace of mind," Colleen said. 'We had had Katie for a time and it was hard to give her back. In the end she returned her to us because she believed it was more important for the child to have a father. "Colleen believes that no mother gives up her child lightly and says the gift that has been given to her in David and Katie is a precious honour. Katie, she says, came into their life rather by chance. 'When David was about six months old I met Katie's natural grandmother at a meeting. I was talking to her about David and she thought it was great. Her daughter hadn't had the baby yet but she wanted us to talk to her about legal custody. 'They both came up one night and she was such a sweetie. Both girls are in fact. We chatted and then heard from her mother later that when the baby was born she wanted us to take it. 'We said we would love to but weren't sure how it would all work out. We had had a battle with the Department of Community Welfare because his mother had stepped out of line in asking us to have him. The system really is so entrenched and the tragedy is that it is so important for these girls to feel that they have a choice in their child's future.'
DOD 'When Katie was born we had a call from the natural mum and she said: 'Aren't you going to come and see her?' We were thrilled. 'We talked about names and we said we had always wanted to call a little girl Katherine if we had one. "She said: 'That's my name. We had always known her as Kate so I didn't really make the connection. She thought that we wouldn't want Katie to have the same name.
She asked us to foster Katie until she made up her mind so we came home with her when she was six days old. At 13 weeks she decided she wanted to keep her and it was heartbreaking to give her back but she had every right to take her. ' We heard three weeks later that she had changed her mind and wanted us to take her. I went to see her because I wanted to make sure she wasn't just feeling guilty. She had felt very bad about taking Katie back but that would have been the wrong reason to give her back to us. 'We had a long talk and that was when she said she had thought it over and really believed the child needed a father so I got her to write a letter to Katie saying why she had made the decision to give her up.
DDE "I felt it was important to do it there and then because as you get older you forget and it is something that will be very important to Katie one day." Both natural mothers see their children twice a year and receive a letter and a photo twice a year. 'We have no formal agreement with Katie's natural mother but that is because she is a friend." But formal agreement or not, both Colleen and Rod believe their agreements with the natural mothers are as binding as their own marriage vows. "Even if we had to move interstate any time we would still feel bound to get back here twice a year so the girls could see the children," she said. Both she and Rod realise there may be many potential difficulties but neither are prepared to spend too much time pondering them. "If you thought about all the things that could go wrong in life you would never do anything," she said. 'The important thing to us is
"Both girls know the fathers but neither relationship is ongoing. Whether the girls will remain in contact with the fathers in years to come we just don't know. 'The important thing is if the children do question, they will be able to ask the questions of the people who know . . . their natural mothers and natural grandparents.Colleen has met too many relinquishing mothers who are bitter about the circumstances under which they have had to give up their children not to appreciate the way in which both her little mothers are going ahead with their lives, relaxed and happy. Young people, she says, have very definite ideas of right and wrong and she believes it is very difficult for young girls especially to live with the knowledge that they have aborted a life. Pregnancy among young, unmarried teenagers is sadly all too common. These are girls who are little more than children, she says, who are faced with the awful knowledge that they have barely begun their lives before they are bringing another into the world. The responsibility is enormous and the cruel restrictions of traditional adoption offer little comfort to a young girl in distress. 'We all do things we wish we hadn't done it is just that pregnancy makes the mistake that much more tragic . . . or it can do," she said. "In the past these girls have been treated like criminals when what they really need is help and understanding. I really believe that all they want is what is best for the child . . and I believe that if adoption were less restrictive many more would be prepared to give birth to these babies which they love, and want to 'want', but which they cannot keep. 'We want to show it can work and while there is no knowing what the future will bring, or what the girls will feel in 10 years time, we firmly believe if we develop a good relationship with the
girls then there will be nothing that cannot be worked out. 'They have always put the welfare of the children first and I don't believe they will ever stop. "For me it is the highest compliment that anyone can pay, that they trust me to bring up their children . . . it is a trust that I will not abuse." Too many adoptive parents are filled with fear, says Colleen. Both she and Rod believe that as the environmental parents they will develop a relationship with the children that will stand, come what may. She recognises many children rebel against their parents in their teens and that open adoption may offer her children options they would not normally have . . . but says that she would far rather they ran away to their natural mothers than slept in Kings Park. "At least they have somewhere to go and be loved," she said. -I've spoken to a lot of adoptees and they often feel rejected because they don't know where they come from.
'When children don't know they fantasise . . . this way it will never become a major issue because they will always know. They will not have to face the frustration of the search because their mothers will always be only a phone call or letter away. Our children will be able to say they have two mothers." But doubling up on families does create some problems, says Colleen. "It takes me ages to say my prayers at night because I have to mention all the relatives I can remember and then I have to do my family and Rod's as well. She believes the church has a part to play in reforming . both to adoption attitudes and teenage pregnancies "In times past families were much quicker to support each other when problems like this arose. Children may have been farmed out but they still kept in touch with their roots . and that is something our children will a strong sense of have identity.

BUDAPEST: Archbishop Luigi Poggi's 12-day visit to Hungary achieved "limited progress" in solving church-state problems in that country, say church sources. Archbishop Poggi is the Vatican's specialist on Eastern Europe. The topics discussed with Cardinal Lekai, and the Chairman of the State Office for Church Affairs, m ire Miklos, included Catholic schools, religious orders and catechism instruction. With the exception of one female and three male religious orders engaged in running schools, religious orders have been banned in Hungary since 1950. The Vatican sees this as a serious obstacle to the church's mission and has urged the government to either allow other orders to operate, or permit an increase in the membership of the existing ones. Plans are being discussed, with government approval, to set up another female religious order in Hungary. — keston College Report.

From page 11 "There will be no gaps in their self esteem. If Katie gets very chubby at 12 she will be able to know if that happened to her mother, or grandmother or her auntie. . . if David shows a skill at sport he can know that his family has a history of proficiency in that area. " That past does not have to be a closed book for our .children . . they will have a sense of belonging which will give them emotional security." It's often the little things, says Colleen, that children like to know. Like, "when was I born," or did my ancestors come from other countries. "Family backgrounds are also important if something goes wrong medically," she said. "All too often the doctor asks if there is a history of this in the family . . at least this way I can find out so the children don't have to go through exhaustive tests to discover something I can get in a phone call or letter." But open adoption, she acids, is not just a way to get a baby faster. She is a firm believer in extensive screening of people who wish to adopt and says that while closed adoption makes it all so much harder than it needs to be, even open adoption involves commitment and rules. Raising a child, she says, is not a God-given right and there are always risks of being hurt but the fear of being hurt has never stopped either Colleen or Rod. 'We just hold on to each other and bowl ahead," she said with a grin. Now the Searles have two extra people to hold on to but their arms are more than long

Burlington Mills, for example, was looking for somebody to translate a German book on ribbon weaving into English. Here Steven's Austrian textile studies proved useful. He did the job in six weeks through much burning of midnight oil and was paid 25 pounds ($50). His client was impressed and he accepted a job as a ribbon weaver at Burlington Mills in Maitland. He also worked as a tyre builder for Dunlops at Drummoyne and was paid 24 pounds ($48) a week when the basic wage was six pounds ten shillings (V 3). But he made his escape from factory grime and farm slavery when the Nowra Council gave him a position as a clerk on an annual salary of $953. From there his accountancy qualifications and experience enabled him to join Remington Rand for which he was to wort for 29 years. opening the Perth office of the company in 1969 and retiring as State manager in 1978.

I'd like to ring out a loud and clear -thank you- to every person associated with last month's fund raising frenzy. Hundreds of people helped to raise thousands of dollars for several youth projects. Four different fund raising activities took place in August, the first being a lamington drive. Three thousand little white boxes of sweet smelling covered chocolate sponge cake arrived and left from the youth offices. Marj Downie, my assistant, affectionately known as office youth the "mother'. saw to the delivery, distribution and sale of the lamingtons. Five parishes came to our rescue by permitting after mass sales at the Queens C athedral, Park, Nedlands, leton and Morley. Very few youth groups and leaders "escaped'. the lamington bonanza. Some $1800 will help
clear the still outstanding debt of over $4000 from the January IVY catholic convention. With the smell of chocolate cake still in the air, people began putting together maps and kits for the WA annual youth appeal door knock. This year, organisers found the task of gathering collectors hard going. My impression is few accepted graciously without grumbling — most needed convincing it would be a worthwhile venture. I wondered how many were afraid of a few hours of hard work for a cause they believe in or in response to a request from a friend. It seems doorknocking is a most unpleasant task. Those who promised and did collect were challenged by cold winds and heavy rains. More than 500 people young and old walked the streets of Perth, Geraldton, Albany, Collie, Narrogin, Bunbury and Busselton. The Catholic share of the public doorknock which is divided according to

Solomon was king of Israel. He was a young man, eager to rule well. One day Solomon went to pray at a famous shrine. The Lord appeared to him in a dream during the night. "Solomon, ask something of me and I will give it to you,- God said. -Lord,- Solomon replied, -you were very good to my father, King David. Now you have made me king to succeed my father. I am just a youth. I'm not sure at all how to act as king. So, give me an under-
standing h eart. Then I will be able to judge your people and to know right from wrong." The Lord was pleased with Solomon's request. God said to Solomon, "Because you asked not for long life, nor for riches, nor for more power but for an understanding heart so you could know what is right, I will give you your wish. I give you a heart so understanding that there has never before been anyone like you. "In addition I give you what you have not asked
for — riches and honour. And if you keep my commandments as your father David did, I will give you a long life." Solomon woke up and went back to Jerusalem. There he offered sacrifices to God and had a banquet for his servants. Later two women came to him. They would give Solomon the first test of his wisdom. "King Solomon," one began, "this other woman and I live in the same house. We each had a baby just three days apart.

During the night this woman's son died. Later while I was sleeping, she took my son and put her dead son in his place. When I woke up in the morning, I saw right away that the dead baby was not my son."
One woman became very upset. She fell on her knees and pleaded with King Solomon: "Please do not kill the child. Rather give the living child to her.-
The other woman denied this. "tt is not so! The living one is my son!"
The other woman coldly said to the king: 'The child shall be neither mine nor hers. Go ahead and kill it.-
News of Solomon's judgement in this case spread everywhere and people saw what great wisdom God had given their new king.
King Solomon ordered the servant to put away his sword and said: "Give the child to the woman who begged me not to kill it. For she is the mother.-

Dramatic story of healing The Words To Say It, by Marie Cardinal, published by Picador, $7.95. Reviewed by Roslyn Ross. This autobiographical bestseller, winner of the Prix •
Littre in 1976, is the story of a dutiful daughter who becomes paralysed by her past and is haunted by her relationship with her mother. As the book opens we meet
a young woman who is withdrawn, verging on madness, suicidal. Estranged from her husband and unable to care for her children she is kept hidden by her family in the attic of her uncle's private hospital. She has become possessed by the "Thing", her name for the sense of panic and fear which poisons every waking hour. But she has the presence of mind to resist the chemical treatment, spitting the pills out of the window into the gutter below. She recovers enough to escape. What follows is the dramatic story of her healing through seven long, hard years of psychotherapy. It is a graphic and moving story of her life, herself, her

In turning to face her madness, she finds it in her mother... mother and the madness. She finds the courage to seek out the source of her madness and then to confront it, and in doing, to reconstruct both herself and her life. It is during these seven years of therapy that Marie Cardinal not only finds herself, but she discovers her gifts as a writer, re-establishes her relationship with
her husband and finally begins to experience the joy and fulfillment of her three children. The fact that Marie Cardinal has the words to say it so well means that rather than purely being a book about psychiatric healing, it is also a story of the constraints of the Catholic upper class in France; of the glories of a
childhood in exotic Algeria of the wonderful workings of the human mind which seeks constantly to protect us from pain and a story of a woman's relationship with her mother and her own role as a mother and a wife. It is a superb novel and a remarkable story. It is a book for everyone who has a mother, but especially for
daughters. It is also a book for mothers, for it is only when women recognise their inherent power as mothers that they will begin to use that power well. Times have certainly changed since Marie Cardinal grew up in the 1930's and 40's and men have now begun to share the parental role, but mothers still stand as the emotional focal point for most families . . . especially for their daughters It is as a daughter that Marie Cardinal begins to understand her madness and then to find herself. Sadly, it is in her mother that she finds her madness and it is in finding herself that she subsequently finds no room for her mother.
Questioning the greatest question

E ternal Life? by Hans Kung, published by Fount, $9.95. Reviewed by Roslyn R oss. Hans Kung is a controversial theological figure, and not just for Catholics. He was born in Sursee, Switzerland in 1928 and grew up to become one of the most outspoken priests in the R oman Catholic Church this century. His followers classify him as brilliant, his detractors would have other words to describe him, but however you view the man
the books he produces are both scholarly and thought provoking. In December 1979 his disagreements with the Roman hierarchy came to a head when he was condemned by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, mainly for the views on papal infallibility, and had his right to teach as a Catholic theologian withdrawn. He has, however, continued to teach independently at the University of Tubingen, in Germany.
He is the author of many books including On Being A Christian, The Council: Reform and Reunion, The Church, Infallible?, Why Priests?, What Must Remain in the Church and Does God Exist?
DEE Like many of his previous books this latest offering also bears a title with a question mark. Hans Kung is a man of many questions. This question is not an easy one and this
book is not an easy one to read. He sets out to examine the many and varied attitudes and beliefs in our society in regard to the matter of death and eternal life. What is dying? What is death? How does it all work? What does it all mean? He covers such subjects as "experiences with dying people", "external life — wish or re,ality" "religion at the origin of mankind", "arguments for and against reincarnation," "why are we on earth," and "what does it all mean."
The question of "eternal life?" is one that cannot be answered empirically. What Kung does is to argue the logic and possibility of it in such a way that his final conclusion must be that a belief in external life enables us to endow our lives and that of others with meaning and to work for a better future, a better society, even a better church, in peace, freedom and justice. . . with the knowledge that all this can only be sought and never fully realised by man,
