VA ICAN CITY C) - Calling religious liberty a "measure" of all other human rights, Pope John Paul II rged legal protection wor dwide for elievers and religious associations in a message that included an apparent chal enge to communist and Moslem nations.

"Every violation of religious freedom, whether open or hidden, does fundamental damage to the cause of eace," the pope said in a 3()(X)-word message for World Peace Day. T ed "Religious Freedom: Condition for Peace," the document does not me tion he religious policies of cif c countries or regions. nstead, ·t describ s a wor dwide panorama of io s repression affecting "millions ople."

''They are victims of repressive and oppressive legislation, victims sometimes of o n persecution, but more often of subtle forms of discrimination aimed at elievers

VATICAN CllY: In a p ed St P t r's on Christmas Eve, the pope ce brated Ma s to announce th birth of the Saviour, which he called an event of mystery and contra ts.

He d scr bed in a sermon how shepherds found Christ lying in a manger, in a pl ce "rn ant for animals."

At the same time, he said, this child was to tu fill th prophecy "of his kin om th re will be o end."

'Wonderful is this mee ing of contra ts which ought to exclude each oth r, but which instead com together in their ver d pth." the po e said.

During he prayers for the faithful, a pecial int ntion for p ac was r ad in Ara c- a r mind r of th continued f htin in th land of Christ's birth and Pal tinian . The po

had called for peace in the r ion a few d ys rlier.

Those bearing gifts during the Off rtory inclu a outhern talian couple who pre n ed an im ge of J sus sculpted in wax.

After the a , h pope walked to the r ar of the basilica and placed a wooden statue of th Christ child in a Christmas er che, decorated with 34 lifesized figures carved in Bavaria.

When the document on the church in the modern world was issued during the Second Vatican Council, it became clear that

it is the church's role to interact with society in order to share an alternative way of /iring. It is possible that Christians may feel like aliens in the world around them. They may find that its culture - the riewpoint, the attitudes, the rery fabric of the high-tech world - is based on surprisingly different norms. The interaction of the church and culture is important because without dialogue the church nerer will come to understand the world's real concerns.

"In creating us to live in

society in a close netwoli< of relations with

each other, and in calling us through redemption to share the Irle of the Saviour not merely as individuals but as members of a pilgrim people. God himself has created our basic interdependence and called us to solidarity with all. ''This teaching is for-

DISCUSSION POINTS

Why do the church and its people try so hard to maintain contact with the various institutions and cultures of the world, such as with medicine, philosophy, education, the fields of cummunications, etc?

Getting to know the values and preoccupations of different groups of people is a way of entering into a dialogue with them. Why would the church and its people find it important to do this?

In what sense can be present time be described as a beginning point for civilisation a time when the process of civilisation takes place? What does this say about the importance of the church's dialogue with culture?

What might happen if Christians made no effort to be m dialogue with people different from the�?

By Katharine Bird War II before helping them flee to safety using Vatican passports.

That rescue is "a practi· cal example" of one way the church interacts with culture, said father McMullin, director of the history of science and philosophy procram at the University of Notre Dame. It shows the church taking concrete action to protect threatened people.

The conference at Castel Gandolfo, co-sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Culture, was held in honour of the 3DOth anniversary of Isaac Newton's "Principia Mathematica".

The conference itself was an example of the church taking an interest in culture, Father McMullin said, in this case the scientific world.

The conference brought tocether 21 theolocians, physicists and philosophers to discuss the relationship between Christian belief and the natural sciences.

Such conferences ensure that tlie cb rck us direct ceatact it1i

scientists on "issues of

mulated in an incompar-

common concern," such

as evolution and the origin of the world, Father McMullin said.

Contact with the world's culture is crucial, he explained, because it keeps the church "in touch with the real concerns of p ople, with their real needs and beliefs and motivations."

The only way the church can effectively preach to all nations "is to speak to where people are," the priest continued. Maintaining a dialogue "is a way of ensuring that each side hears the other without distortion.

"That's difficult in any human relationship," the father McMullin added.

But if the church doesn't maintain this kind of dialogue, it rvns the risk of carrying on a one-sided conversation and even of havinc communications break off entirely. Then its preachinc of the word becomes less effective.

The pope has indicated that he places a high priority on the church bei11 in dialogue with culture.

This dialogue "is a vital field in which the fate of the world at the end of the 20th century is at stake," he wrote in a 1982 letter establishinc the Pontifical Council for Culture.

The church sees that

Instead, people today

are vigorously involved in the quest for insights into the ways to improve their incredibly complex hves. They search for ways the humanfamily•s members can benefit from their increasing independence.

For the church the hope is that insight can be brought to bear in all these areas so that human dignity wdl be protected and human� ty' s vision of life wdl be enriched. This is not an incidental concern.
