SYDNEY: Australian Bill of Rights is still defective in its present form says the president of the Australian Bishops' Conference, Archbishop Clancy. The conference has already told the Australian government not to rush the bill through parliament.

Attorney General Lionel Bowen says he is at a loss to understand the bishops' concern over the Human Rights Commission powers to allow it to act as prosecutor and judge.

Rediscovering

Its aim is to help all Christians to rediscover the Holy Spirit whom Pope Benedict Xx i referred to as "the Great = Unknown". Pope John Paul presents him as "the divine Person who is at the centre of the Christian faith and who is the source and the dynamic power of the Church's z renewal"

At the centre of these circles are two thoughts first, that the Holy Spirit is God's self-gift to us and that we experience him as the giver of life; secondly, the text from St John's gospel "when the Holy Spirit comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgement."

i The encyclical also announces "the great jubilee (Holy Year) with which the Church will celebrate the event" of the opening of the third millennium of Chris-

ism, both theoretical and practical, and faith in God

VATICAN CITY: 'The Church's mind and heart turn to the Holy Spirit as this 2Oth century draws to a close and the third millenium since the coming of Jesus Christ into the world approaches."

These words capture the aim of the encyclical letter published by Pope John Paul entitled Dominum et vivificantem, (The Lord, and Giver of Life), words that are taken from the text of the Creed we proclaim at Mass.

With 137 pages of actual text, it is by far the longest of the five encyclicals written by John Paul II.

Visiting charismatic suggests why people join cults People are leaving the Catholic Church and joining other cults and groups because they are not getting enough good Catholic teaching in their Catholic groups.

This is the opinion of Bishop Valerian D'Souza of Poona, India who is an adviser to that countrv's Charismatic Renewal and who addressed renewal groups in several Australian cities recently.

"People in charismatic groups have a need for proper teaching. They are hungry to know the Word of God. If a priest is available as a guide who has studied theology, he can put things right "On the other hand people go to groups outside the Church where scripture is used fundamentally and only partially and they are carried

in charismatic groups have a need for proper teaching. They are hungry to know the Word of God. If a priest is available as a guide who has studied theology, he can put things right.

On the other hand people go to groups outside the Church where scripture is used fundamentally and only partially and they are carried away.

'They are taken in when others quote scripture. ''They think those who quote scripture are very leamed.

'There is no-one to balance that impression."

away.

"They are taken in when others quote scripture.

"They think those who quote scripture are very learned.

"There is no-one to balance that impression."

Bishop D'Souza says there are four topics which are danger signals if they are questioned by outside groups: • the position and authority of the pope; • devotion to Our Blessed Lady; • the real presence in the eucharist; • attacks on devotional aids such as medals etc. ·There seems to be a worldwide concerted effort by sects to take Christians away from their established churches" he said.

"Instead of evangelising those who know nothing of Christ they are busy taking away other christians from their churches."

Another warning sign, he said, is when groups say they no longer need the eucharist.

They say that whenever you break bread, that is agape, so they don't go to church anymore; they simply break bread."

Bishop Valerian D'Souza

The solution, he says, is not only supervision of groups but the involvement of priests in better teaching of the people.

"If they are to be sufficiently catechised for when these problems

come up, then priests must have the time to help these people."

Bishop D'Souza cites confusion over the signif-

icance of baptism.

New altar at Canterbury

LONDON. The historic

spot in Caterbury Cathedral where St Thomas a Becket was murdered on 29 December, 1170 is to be commemorated with a striking new altar.

The focal point of the simple stone altar will be a huge wrought iron cross with swords attached to each arm to create a triple cross Canon Peter Brett of Cantebury said: "the modern form will convey the starkness and horror of what happened."

In front of the altar will be one stone inscribed "Thomas" and another commemthe present orating Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Runcie at prayer with the pope on the occasion of the Papal visit to

Bishop Valerian D'Souza, head of Poona diocese for the past eight years, and adviser to the country's charismatic renewal is positive about the influence of the Holy Spirit in the Church today.

He says today's Church is a happy open church As a bishop, he says, he has to be open to all renewal and he includes Focolare, Christian Initiation and other indications of the Spirit. He rejects those who concentrate only on the problems of the Church.

'We don't close churches because there are excesses; we don't stop Masses because there are excesses. Experimentation has to go on.

"Any group that works for renewal in the Church will have its internal tensions."

What strikes him about the Indian Charismatic Renewal is the change that has taken place in people's lives.

'They pray more, and read the scriptures, and are hungry for a deeper spirituality. It saddens me to hear priests and religious say that for years they wasted so much of their time.

"Somehow our formal training has not been able to give us the living loving relationship with Christ that should exist" Groups in India now feel the need to reach outwards, he said. They have been criticised in the past for being inward looking.

"T feel that a prayer group should first have a certain identity and then it can start moving out to evangelise Catholics and those outside the Church.

'There is a social involvement now, they question what they are doing for the poor and not just for themselves. The good news for the poor has been stressed at recent conventions."

Bishop D'Souza said he was now seeing much more silence in Indian groups.

"Formerly there had to be something happening all the time.

"In the West people are more expressive but the Indian mentality is more for silence, but the call will be the same around the world for emphasis on the sacraments, prayer life and the scriptures.

'The first phase of a group praying and worshiping is a feeling phase.

'Then they move into a deeper phase, of silence, of farth, and people may experience a certain dryness and loss of prayer life. It is important for them to get sound teaching on these matters if their prayer and worship is to improve," he said.

MELBOURNE: The Mercy hospital at Albury has come refusing to carry out abortions or

But Father Kevin Mogg, the episcopal vicar for social welfare in Melbourne Archdiocese, says patients who come to the hospital are fully aware of the hospital's rules.

And Albury Mercy administrator, Sister Clare, says the nuns receive great support from the Albury-Wodonga community.

The attack of the Mercy hospital came from the AlburyLavington branch of the Australian Labor Party which endorsed a controversial report on obstetric care by the Mercy Sisters' order.

The report includes a call for removal of the Mercy Sisters from their hospital if they are not prepared to offer abortion and sterilisation.

Father Mogg said there was a moral issue at stake.

He had sympathy for the Mercy Sisters who refused to become involved in anti-life procedures.

He said the Melbourne Mercy Hospital also refused to countenance abortion or sterilisation.

The Mercy Hospital at Albury was under attack but the procedures were available at Albury Base Hospital for those who wanted them.

Guest Editorial: The UNIVERSE London In England a change in sex education was included in a government amendment to the Education Bill durig n its third reading in the House of Lords.

The amendment requires local education authorities, governors and head teachers to ensure that sex education in state schools is taught with the aim of "encouragig n pupils to have due regard for moral considerations and the value of family life."

The change was announced by lady Hooper, a government Whip and spokesperson on health and social security i nthe Lords, and it was accepted without a vote.

Lady Hooper, a Catholic, said the government accepted that sex education was an essentila aspect of preparig n young people for the realities and responsiilites b of adutt life.

The Government's hasty amendment thrown into the mix of the new Education Bill provokes a number of important questions.

There is no doubt about the need for increased awareness of moral values and for more explicit guidance about what is right or wrong. There also, surely, can be no doubt about the urgency for stabilising family life.

Statistics speak for themselves. The list is long -a dramatic increase in divorce, sexual diseases, violent crime, rape, mugging, attacks on old people and babies, abortion, child abuse and incest.

To take one example in the last 10 years the number of illegitimate babies born to teenagers increased by 60%.

Society is neither stable nor peaceful.

Given the situation, moral education in schools seems to be one obvious step towards a cure.

The new Bill places responsibility on teachers for "encouraging pupils to have due regard to moral considerations and the value of family life'. But what are Britain's moral considerations and what value is placed on family life? ls there a consensus about what is good or what is evil and who is prepared to define it?

A recent survey in a Sunday newspaper showed that a large number of people thought greed was now the worst sin. Adultery and rape came well down the list. Queue jumping was classified as more immoral than an unmarried couple living together. Eighty two per cent of the people questioned said they were Christians.

Educationalists are criticising the Government's amendment as woolly and call for more definition. But is it possible to detail a moral code that is generally acceptable in Britain?

Even among Christians there is disagreement.

The Government amendment will be beneficial if it makes us all consider the questions that it raises more seriously. We cannot pass on to our children ideals or standards that are unclear to ourselves. lt is a sad reflection on parents that a law has to be brought in to make children appreciate the importance of family life and sexual morality. Unless parents give their children moral guidance and example there is no hope of teachers succeeding. Morality is not a subject, it is a way of life. Conscience has to be formed as well as informed.

Teachers can help to do this, but it is unrealistic to place total responsibility on them particularly when so many forces are working in the opposite direction and also when their authority and status is being weakened.

However strict our laws and dedicated our teachers, it is how we live that really influences others. Hearts must be changed not laws. This is the area where the Churches also must take a great part of the responsibility.

We are now hearing a desperate cry for the stability that Christian way of life brings. But can there be Christian benefits without Christian discipline?

Pope John Paul has warned church missionary officials that Europe's traditional Christian faith is being threatened by materialism and atheism.

The pope said that along with the need to evangelise new regions, the church must keep in mind the "duty to re-evangelise" in Christian countries. He told participants in the general assembly of pontifical mission aid societies.

"In the modern age, which boasts of being the society of information, billions of human beings are yearning for salvation, yet know little or

nothing about the saviour

of the world, Jesus Christ," the pope said in a talk at the Vatican.

"Moreover, in the Old World, raised for centuries in the school of Christian faith, such powerful forms of ideological materialism exist that there is fear that entire regions may fall under the shadows of atheism,"

he said The pope contrasted the modern world with that of

Action by urban leaders and planners today may spell the difference between a pleasant urban environment and catastrophe particularly in developing countries.

By the year 2010, more that 50 per cent of the

world's population will live in urban areas, 20 per cent of them in 78 cities of four million or more inhabitants.

"good will, attention and a humanitarian reaction" to its appeal Pope John Paul II frequently has appealed for peace between Iran and Iraq, which have been fighting over rival territorial claims since 1980.

In a talk to Iraqi bishops last February, the pope called the war a "ruinous conflict."

Last Christmas, the pope sent a personal envoy, French Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, to visit war prisoners in both countries.

Cardinal Etchegaray is head of the Vatican's Justice and Peace Commission.

When government spokesman Francisco Javier Cuadra subsequently denied the cardinal had asked the government to halt the raids, Cardinal Fresno accused him of twisting his words.

Cuadra "has tried to twist my words more than once," the cardinal said. "T let him know that I considered (the raids) flagrant ~buses of human rights. So don't let Mr Cuadra twist things and confuse public opinion any more, he said

After hearing evidence for five months, a judge refused bail to those accused of killing Father Tullio Favali of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions.

Under Philippine law, bail can be refused only in capital cases if a court decides there is strong evidence of guilt, legal authorities said.

DUBLIN (NC) - An Irish bishops' pastoral has criticised the government's plans for a referendum on legalising divorce.

MANAGUA, (NO) -- Nicaragua's bishops have criticised a so-called Nicarauan "popular Church, accusing activist priests and nuns of manipulating the Gospel "for their own ends."

In an eight-page statement, the bishops also criticised the war between Nicaragua's Sandinista government and the USbacked counterrevolutionaries, or contras "A belligerent group of priests, religious workers and lay people of various national ities, who say they belong to the Catholic Church, are in reality working actively to

Pope John Paul II has criticised the "popular Church' for not accepting the authority of the bishops Church sources and diplomats vary widely in their estimates of the number of priests involved in the 'popular Church Some place it at 20, others say more than 100 of the country's 320 priests

Opinion polls have shown public support for allowing divorce in marriages which have broken down without hope of reconciliation.

FitzGerald has been under increasing public and political pressure to hold the referendum After a private meeting with the prime minister in early April, the bishops publicly warned legalising divorce would be a blow to Irish society. But Cardinal Tomas O'Fiaich of Armagh, who led the bishops' group to the meeting, said the churchmen offered no advice to FitzGerald on holding a referendum, because it is a political issue.

The prime minister "will have to make up his own mind," the cardinal said.

WHAT ARRE 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 Il, P382), and asisst him 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.

They fully accept their Christian duty to evangelise according to their own individual abilities.

Under the patronage and guidance of the Bishop, they have their own formally constituted Association and elected Council. 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

The Diocese of Broome is the far North-West part of Australia, roughly 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 Oesert.

Since 1959 many admirable Australians have contibuted in no small way to the personal growth and education of the Aboriginal people as lay missionaries. They have fanned close and lasting ties Others are needed to continue and improve exsisting services.

funds lose confidence from Fr. Richard Doyle PP Willetton

Sir, I applaud the appointment (The Record) of Monsignor Nestor to investigate the role of the Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace in relation to Project Compassion Many people are very confused as to what is really going on. An objective assessment rather than self-justification - is very much called for.

What makes Monsignor Nestor's task so vital is well illustrated in our parish. Because of the confusion our Project Compassion is down this year by some $2000.

When this dramatic drop was discussed at our parish council four of the nine councillors present indicated that their Project Compassion money had been sent elsewhere.

Other parishioners had said that their donations were being re-directed towards groups ike the Red Cross Our parish council is very much in favour of education, d by that one means becoming better informed about development issues and how best to help those in need What causes the division and confusion among Catholics at the grass root level is the use of Project Compassion

donations to push political issues Councillors felt strongly that if the Bishops, through the Justice and Peace Commission, wanted to be involved in political issues, then they should find the money to do so from elsewhere and certainly not from Project Compassion

From where do those rights obtain their validity? Has God made some new authoritative revelation?

Hungarian Franciscan Father Thomas Marik 0FM who arrived in Adelaide from Budapest last year, is visiting his Hungarian people here in Formerly a teacher of biology and geography as a Friar in a Catholic high school in Esztergom, Father Thomas spent the last three years giving religious retreats and visitations in Budapest, prior to his arrival in Adelaide.

Hungarian communities in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide have spiritual advisors but they do not have a Hungarian speaking one here.

For this reason two or three times a year, the community raises the money to bring over Father Thomas to visit their sick, give retreats, talks and religious services in Hungarian.

Mr Gleich, Hungarian organiser of Father Thomas' visit, said "We can renew spiritually better in our own language. We can say the Our Father in English but it comes out better in our hearts if it is in our native tongue."

Thirty-five years ago Hungarian sisters, the Poor Sisters of Our Lady, who had been expelled from China, set up a Hungarian centre in Subiaco.

They utilised two houses and set up homes for the aged which they ran.

But time caught up with them and most of these sisters died, with the exception of five who are now in their seventies and eighties, Mr Gleich said, and could no longer run the homes.

There was then no Hun-

Challenge to Father Uren

Sir, Father Uren states the principle that "one may not do evil that good may follow - yet even the dubious "simple case" of IVF, which he seems to find acceptable, at present involves deliberate masturbation/onanism, which the Church has always aught is a grave moral irregularity, even an evil ht is therefore difficult to understand Father's acceptance and defence of the "simple case" when it begins with an evil act He also says that." f the intention to establish a pregnancy is a good one (and I cannot see that this can be denied).."

Infertility may be God's will for a particular couple and in that case perhaps the determnation to establish a pregancy at all costs, even the cost of an evil act in deliberate masturbation, is not necessarily a "good intention" If the pregnancy is sought along with a mental determination to abort if there is a mental or physical defect in the child. there is at least an

argument that the intention to establish the pregnancy is not necessarily a "good intention"

Seventh week of a 13-week series on laity in thurch Parents want their children to learn about faith. But they often wonder how parents can foster such learning. Many parents proceed with considerable trepidation when it comes to making a real contribution to their child's religious education.

There are no quarterly skills tests to gauge the religious development of children, David Gibson observes. This is one of the difficulties in discussing faith with children. Fortunately, he adds, parents don't have to go it entirely alone. In

addition to steps they can take on their own, participating in a community's life of faith is a key way to foster growth in faith.

In the beginning was Sister Mary Margaret. Looking kindly at us firstgraders on the opening day of school, she seemed to be from another world.

The wimple of her black habit caressed her face like two hands cupped in prayer. A large rosary hung from the wide leather belt around her waist, its crucifix gently swinging when she moved.

Over the months, she spoke to us of God, Jesus, grace, sacraments, church, heaven, hell and a thousand other topics that introduced us to the mysterious world of the divine.

She ushered in for me 16 years of formal Catholic education, primary school through to university.

During those years my faith was shaped and nourished by a rich col lage of intellectual, emotional and sensory experiences gilt-edged holy cards, scapulars, the pungent smell of incense, cassocked professors My children are grow-

The Record, June 12, 1986

by NEIL PARENT take an active role in instructing their children in the faith. With good reason. A study has found a significant correlation between adults who reg ularly attend church and their having received home instruction in faith as children Too often, however, in trying to communicate faith to our children, we parents approach it like icing a cake: hoping that what we say and do will stick to the outside But faith is formed from the inside. We have to know our children and their world, to experience life through their eyes, ears and hands Only then can we hope to effectively share our faith with them In discussing faith with our children, my wife and I discovered after a while that we were operating out of some unconscious assumptions Those assumptions often caused us to begin in the wrong place; we failed to enter first into our children's world This realisation prompted us to approach shar ing our faith at home along the following lines:

• Listening and responding: Children are deeply spiritual, though not always in a church related sense. Their questions show they are thinking about spiritual

Issues

As parents, we try to be on the lookout for spirit ual "revelations" from our children When such occasions surface, often their expressed in thoughts, feelings and questions, we try to build on them by inviting further explanation First we seek to understand our children's views on the matter; then, if appropriate, we respond with our own reflections This enables us to approach the dis cussion primarily from their perspective rather than ours

• Inquiring and Listening: Often my wife and I make gentle inquiries into religious issues when our children seem to be receptive or when circumstances prompt discussion.

This approach works better than introducing a reli gious topic at the dinner table when a child has been pressing for an answer to staying overnight with a friend Among the times our children seem more receptive are when they

That's only part of the parent's plight when it

comes to participating in a child's religious education

The parent also quickly

discovers that the boundaries of religious education as

a field are hard to locate

Under its umbrella will be found education in church doctrine, morality, Scripture, Church history, liturgy and worship, prayer. This education is meant not only to communicate the facts of religion, but to influence attitudes and foster a special way of living Considering all that, it is not surprising that parents sometimes feel at a loss when it comes to contributing to their children's religious education They may ask Where does a parent begin? What is the parent's

goal?

Of course, parents contribute to their children's reli gious education, even if only

willy nilly. For actions speak louder than words Actions tell a child whether faith really matters to the parent; whether participation in the Sunday Mass is a

source

of

happiness,

whether faith is considered interesting or boring. whether the Christian way loving God and neigh bour means anything in practice.

A recent funeral is a good example. Driving away we could tell from the quiet in the car that it was an appropriate time to talk so we asked What did you think of the funeral" Our daughter replied "Why was his face so white?"

That led to a discussion of what happens at death and afterward • Ritual-Symbol Making We try to make our home faith experiences concrete by creating various rituals and symbols These carry a significant Christian message and often help set the stage for discussion Our children have grown fond of the many things we do as a family to ritualise our faith, from use of Project Compassion to the creation of Advent calendars and the use of special blessings All of us with children seek to share with them a faith that has been seasoned by our own experience of life. We can do this best when we lovingly offer it to them in a way that speaks first to their hearts Isn't this the way Jesus taught?

home - in reaction to

moral situations viewed on TV programs, for example This provides a concrete

setting for a parent-child discussion of values, and

means that television is not allowed to go unquestioned as an educator.

There is a risk to consider, however, if this becomes a parent's sole approach If religious education at home occurs only in reaction to various situations that arise, children may learn much about what parents oppose, but little about what parents truly favor when it comes to religious education, many parents take comfort in the fact that they don't have to go it alone.

Actually, participation in the community's life of faith is akey way to foster growth in faith So at our house opportunities for the whole family to participate in special parish events are sought out especially It is much easier to foster a child's religious education if parents take steps to foster their own growth in faith And when parents do so,

Sister Therese Marie spent last year

visiting schools in many parts of the world studying education administration and curriculum and she has also visited Japan, under Government sponsorship, to set up a Japanese student exchange plan between Japan and Australia New Norcia itself is steeped in history, some of the buildings dating back to the beginning of the century. And history, Sister believes, is important to students "In this day and age, rt gives them a sense

of stability and a link with the past," she said It is testimony to the "Benedictine influence which has been with the school since its foundation and also draws together St Gertrude's and St Ildephonsus Colleges (now St Benedict's), which made such a

wonderful contribution throughout this century to education in Western Australia," Sister Therese Marie said The past is also linked with such famous ex-pupils (and there were many), such as the late Cardinal Knox and Bishop Gallagher.

"Both of these men were unable to go on for the priesthood because their families could not afford to finance them, but Abbot

Catalan put them through at no expense," said chaplain, Father Basil The college has a full sporting curriculum, one of the notable areas being football where they are proving their worth For the study of agriculture, there are grants available to country and city children alike who wish to study some agricultural

subjects

There is a model farm established under the guidance of an agricultural advisory board, made up of top farmers in the area The farm has pigs, chickens, horses, sheep and sows wheat, barley and lupins

"There is a strong Christian ethos at the college," Sister said, "and it is very encouraging to see so many students attend Mass voluntarily during lunch hour each

first Friday."

Remarks offend

so therefore artificial and illicit techniques to achieve such a noble end are no longer illicit, and are okay for Catholics, illustrates that we can make a case for anything to justify ourselves.

Pope Paul V1 in Humanae Vitae would not agree.

Fr Uren's play.with percentages of embryos lost, does not alter the fact that human ltves are deliberately destroyed in the IVF process. thus making a mockery of the Church's teaching on the sanctity of life, as well as marriage.

If one can discuss the value, rights, and status of unborn children in their embryonic stages of growth as Fr Uren does, to justify IVF, one uses the same logic as those who justify abortion.

In both cases, innocent human lives are deliberately killed to justify the procedure, and no amount of theological or lay pendantics can uphold that the means justify the end in eirther case

from Ray ELLERY, Kewdale Sir, Many of your readers had the misfortune to hear on June 4 Sister Veronica Brady speaking on "Insights" an ABC weekly religious broadcast.

She constantly referred to our Lord Jesus as "a prophet" who "didn't treat His mother well", and claimed that "like most prophets, He seems to have been slightly destructive of the family" or "When his mother did appear, she got short shift from Him." Who does this woman think she is that she can criticise the very Son of God? Is nothing sacred to her that she can claim "that values must prevail by consensus (sound familiar?) because the God that we believe in is the God

Bill of

what

rights?

Fr. Brian O'LOUGHLIN DCL Cottesloe

Sir, The Bill of Rights, f enacted, will profoundly change Australian society fg the worst.

The Bill is supposedly the Australian implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which in article 6.1 states "Every human being has the inherent right to life."

However the proposed Bill of Rights contains no such quarantee of respect for the right of life.

Until this fundamental right is incorporated, the Bill of Rights is only masquerading f one's right to life is not enshrined, then all other rights are in jeopardy The Bill of Rights is seemingly inoffensive, yet the contrary is true both in its underlying philosophy and in what rt doesn't stat I invite all readers of The Record to write to individual Senators, Parliament House, Canberra, ACT 2600, urging them to reject the Bill of Rights or refer it to a National Referendum

Write protest

from W. V C. THOMAS. Medina

Sir, with the condemnation

by Archbishop Clancy of

Sydney of the French film

"Hail Mary" as being blasphemous "and that it will be grossly offensive to the majority of people" (The Record -May 22), all concerned Christians should not hesitate to register their protest and signify their utter disgust by demanding that the film be immediately banned from public viewing An effective means for achieving this end lies in writing a letter of protest calling for a ban of the film to Mrs Janet Strickland, c/o Film Censorship Board, 222 Pitt Street, Picadilly Court, Sydney 2000 It is advisable to quote Section 13 of the Customs (Cinematograph Films) egu lations which states (1)'The film shall not be registered and advertising

matter shall not be passed, under this part if, in the opinion of the Board a) The film or advertising matter is blasphemous, indecent or obscene and if b) It 'depicts any matter, exhibition of which is undesirable to public interest."

Since the offence is an outrage of a spiritual nature which forebodes severe consequences rf not righted, it IS just, fitting and proper that due reparation be made by us through our prayers and sacrifices for the grave insult directed towards the Holy name and sacred person of Mary and that of her Divine Son Jesus

TYCS is concerned for all people, especially students as they

struggle to prepare their contribution to society.

Students accept structures of system as 'given'

Most students today see Uni or college as a great place to get a degree, but in the meantime tend to accept the structures of the education system as given, and seem unaware of who's making what decisions about the nature of tertiary education.

Meanwhile, changes are taking place across Australia which have implications for the nature of the education we receive.

In Perth, plans are going ahead to establish a tertiary

Before examining the implications of such a move it is important to note that institution for overseas stu the Yanchep scheme is not dents paying full fees to an isolated example cover costs Since Susan Ryan released It is to be built at Yanchep guidelines, no tertiary instiby Yanchep Sun City a tution in Australia has specifwholly owned subsidiary of ically committed itself to not allowing the admission of full-fee paying overseas stu dents above course quotas.

In Melbourne. the economics faculty ofMonash Uni has made available 15 places above the course quota for full-fee paying overseas students.

The medicine faculty there has made a similar proposal which will probably go ahead in 1987 Thirty-five Malaysian students paying full fees began studying at WAIT this year.

Sydney Uni will open 10 places next year for $8,000 each for a masters of business administration.

private tertiary educational institutions.

"This is a separate issue from the export of educa tional services.'

AII Labor premiers except Brian Burke opposed the Yanchep scheme (both Robin Gray & Joh BielkePetersen supported it) A draft platform, accepted by the caucus social policy committee and likely, according to Peter Staples to be accepted at the July National Conference of the ALP opposes privatisation of tertiary institutions.

I don't think the distinction between the setting up of institutions for full-fee pay ing overseas students and the admission of full-fee paying overseas students above current course quotas is all that clear in terms of the principles involved Yet Peter Staples distingunshed between "making best use of existing resources" and setting up a whole

The principle criticism of current moves is that it represents the thin end of the wedge in terms of tertiary fees.

If overseas students can pay fees to get into a medicine course above the quota, why can't Australian students demand the same if they have the money?

Peter Staples' response is direct.

'Tertiary fees is a dead issue.

It's worth spelling that out.

Both Bob Hawke and Susan Rvan don't even want

National Conference.

What present government policy fails to address is the fact that the continuing "export" of education creates the necessary climate whereby the reintroduction of tertiary fees does become an acceptable proposal in two or four years

time, as education becomes enmeshed in market forces Likewise, there is the fear that a dual public/private tertiary education system might develop.

Again, some institutions will succeed in the market for fee-paying students, thus the larger entrepreneurial institutions will become more powerful, while smaller institutions (or faculties ) offering courses of only limited demand overseas will suffer.

Members of TYCS need to look seriously at the tertiary fees issue.

Talk of 'export' of education has apparently limited the terms, but the principles involved in the tertiary fees debate remain operative.

The tertiary fees issue is not clearcut (is it perhaps a case of the poor paying taxes for the rich to gain more privilege?) and needs be situated in an examination of education as whole, and the value we place on it and what values we believe it should promote.

Bishop Polycarp was an old man when the church was very young.

He knew the apostles of Jesus.

During the early persecutions of the Christians by the Romans, Polycarp stood by those who were arrested and put to death.

In more peaceful times, he worked hard to build up the community of Christians in Smyrna where he was bishop.

Smyrna was located in Asia Minor, in the country today know as Turkey.

When Polycarp was 86, a new persecution broke out. One night police pounded the door of his house. The elderly bishop whispered to himself, "God's will be done."

He opened the door and invited the police into his house. The police took Polycarp away and put him in prison. The next morning they led him to the city stadium to be tried by the Roman pro consul The stadium was filled with people ·You are an old man,' the Roman proconsul

hildren's Story Hour said kindly to Bishop Polycarp. "AII you need to do is look at those

Christians over there and

say, 'Away with the atheists.' Then you will be

free to go."

(The Romans accused the Christians of being atheists. That is because the Christians refused to worship the Roman gods.)

But Polycarp turned instead toward the people crowding the stadium to watch the Christians suffer and die.

Pointing to them all the brave bishop shouted: "Away with the atheists!"

The Roman proconsul was annoyed but he wanted to give this old man another chance "Just take an oath honouring Caesar in place of your Christ Then I will let you go." looked Polycarp straight at the Roman

who held his life in his hands and told him proudly: "Four score and six years have I served Jesus Christ and he has done me no wrong. How then can I blaspheme my King and Saviour? Hear my free confession: I am a Christian. If you desire to learn the Christian way, I will be happy to instruct you."

The proconsul could not help admiring Polycarp's courage but ordered a crier to announce to the people three times: "Polycarp has confessed to being a

Christian!"

The crowd screamed 'Throw him to the

lions!

The proconsul refused ·Then burn him alive! they shouted

The proconsul finally condemned Bishop Poly carp to be burnt alive. As the flames leapt up

Look at the bids r in the sky, your heavenly Father feeds them, but you are worth much more than they." (Matthew 6: 26-27)

for several years Like most of her work, the Stations were done in acrylic paint on burnie board. In painting them she wanted to express the feelings of Aboriginal people when faced with the sufferings of Christ our Saviour She has done so in the style that is the product of her own genius.

TENNIS

by PETER MESSER As a result of scores in this week's round of pennant tennis fixtures, the finals' berths in both grades appear to have been determined.

In the A grade competition it will be an all Queens Park affair with Queen's Park No 1 and No 2 playing off.

These two teams meet in the last round of home and away fixtures next week and no doubt both will be all out for a win to gain the psychological advantage.

In the two meetings between the teams until now the result has been desparatley close with only games deciding the winner.

Each team has won one

match.

In the B grade competition, the most likely finalists are St George and Pignatelli No

2.

on and win six sets 61 games to six sets 58 games.

A look at the pennant ladder in the A grade justifies the conclusion the Queens Park teams domi-

nated the competition.

However when you look at the week by week results that was certainly not the

case.

Of the 16 matches played in the competition eight matches have been won on games only.

In the B grade, St George eight sets 62 games defeated Pignatelli No 1 four sets 54 games.

Willetton defeated Green-

wood 11 sets 70 games to one set 29 and Pignatelli No 2 defeated St Benedicts nine sets 61 games to three sets 42.

With only one round of matches to play the pennant ladders are as follows:

For either of these two teams to be displaced St Benedicts will have to defeat St George next week

unlikely they could win by such a large margin.

The results of this week's matches were predictable with the top teams all winning.

In the A grade, Queens Park No 2 defeated Dianella nine sets 71 games to three sets 47 games.

However Queens Park No 1 did not have it all their own way against Pignatelli and only just managed to hold
