Bishop to de y ew MEXICO CITY: A new law in Mexico which ma es it a civil offence for clergy to oppose political parties or urge election boycotts from the pulpit, will not stop bishops from spreading out on political issues, a spo esman for the Bishops' Conference has said.

"The Mexican Church will not turn b ck from its determi-

nation to point out iniustices." said Father Francisco Meza.

Under one section of the law, priests and bishops may urge people to vote in favour of a party, but they can be fined the equivalent of 1,000 days work at minimum wage - about

$5200 - ,f they tell Catholics to vote against a party or to refrain from voting.

The new law is the first to order specific fines for political activism by e ,can clergy - although bans against clerical criticism of the nation's laws, government or officials were written into the 1917 constitution.

As teenagers seek greater independence, it is common for conflicts to arise at home. How can communication between parents and their teenagers be fostered? Are there ways parish communities can promote increased cooperation between teenagers and parents?

Cindy Liebhart, associate editor of NC's Religious Education Package, writes that teenagers, despite their protestations to the contrary, have much to gain from parents. At the same time, parents have much to gain from teenagers.

KNOW YOUR FAITH

Raising teeners 'exhilarating' ..

She quotes a family life exrrt who says that teenagers often are locked into an intense dialog� with themselves; as a result they "cannot hear anyone or an\1ng else". What is a parent to do in this situation? Ms Liebhart 1,ggests seven steps for parents to consider.

Laura Meagher, director of31igious education at St Mary of the Assumption Parish in Hoc�ssin, Delaware, writes about the expectations parents sometires have regarding their teenagers' religious education

Adolescents Father John Castelot have much to gain from us ,

In spite of their protests to the contrary, "adolescents have much to gain from our concerns and from our contact with them," writes Harvard psychologist Douglas H. Powell in "Teenagers: When to Worry and What to Do" (Doubleday, 1986).

"Sometimes," Powell suggests, "youths merely lack information what's the best way to study for high school final exams or lose five kilos and keep it off. ''When things are not going so well they need a mental boost ..

"Sometimes our teenage children need us to knock around with, even to knock up against. to help them clarify values and attitudes that will influence lifelong behaviour patterns." teenagers, he thinks energise us

Their activity stimulates our

interests. Their clear-eyed questioning opens the courage nor wit to probe " But how can such an environment exist when, as one mother recently lamented, "half of the time my daughter isn't home and when

Parents, too. have much to ga,n from

The teen years bring conflict into the best of parent-teen relationships. Conflict practically is guaranteed because the tasks of parents and teens often clash.

One task of the teen years is developing a firm sense of identity Many teens do this by trying on different kinds of personalities. The parents' task is to try not to let their own image of what their child should be colour everything.

Another essential task of tee· nagers as they move down the road to adulthood rs to become more independent persons.

A tug of war can result since teens do this by putting distance between themselves and their parents, often in ways that cause the parents distress.

One memorable afternoon I noticed that my son Chris, then about 16, was looking discontent I made the mistake of asking him what was wrong 'Why can't you be more hke other mothers?" he burst out.

'What do you mean? I am," I rephed 1nd1gnantly.

My usually articulate son mumbled something about other mothers "look· 1ng motherly and spending most of their time cooking" It was later - much later - ,n talking with friends who had the same experience, that I caught what he really meant.

My son's dissaustecnon with me was part of his reaching for greater independence Chris was exerc1s1ng his abihty to

I Fin,t, be available. "This doesn't mean a parent has to be home all the tune," ""d Ann · ewland, a marriage and f.unily therapist and mother of three gro ......-n sons It docs mean "keeping your ears open" at home for what is going on in the teenager's life and "being able to set aside something you are doing" if a cluld wan ts to talk Being available includes attempting to spend time together doing fun things that interest the teen And if a teenager suggests doing something with a parent, Mrs ewland said, make effort to say yes. "If }"U absolutely cannot do it now, ask the teen if }"U can schedule it for the weekend or next week."

2 Don't nunimisc the adolescent's feelings and experiences or expect teens to solve their problems quickly They often stop confiding when they feel parents don't take them seriously.

"If I expect them to care about my feelings. I have 10 demonstrate I care about theirs," Ms ewland said 3. set clear, reasonable boundaries. Be willing to about them and negotiate them if necessary. e-obrbry, not ngidiry, is the key word in setting lrmrts 'There have to be some hou rule." Ms ewtand said. Teens "can't do things that impinge upon the needs or rights of others "

On the question whether or not remarried divorce s should be allowed to receive communion in certain circumstances, surely the Church must have discretionary powers in this through the mandate of "binding and loosing".

If the local bishop should exercise this discretion in any particular case there is hardly any reason for we laity, the sheep, to j dge the sh pherd. Consider a lapsed Catholic, who has divorced and remarried, who later returns to the Church, with . th previous partner having remarried and raising a family and the Catholic in question also ra1s1ng offspring from the present union.
