Guest Editorial

THE CATHOLIC WEEKLY Sydney

Catholics ho believe everything they read in the papers would have been slightly disturbed by The Australian ne spaper recently. "Australian Catholics in need of leadership," it proclaimed over its leading article. "Catholic Church split deepens" proclaimed another headline. "Did Christ really rise from the dead?" yelled another.

The general impression was that after 2,000 years of steady steering the Church is about to run aground.

The ne :paper pointed to the culprits - it had the "illains" in hand, in its own words, "Catholic theologians seem to be tinkering with fundamental doctrines."

Just in case one doubted that blame had to be sheeted home, th newspaper challenged Australian Catholic bishops "to spend less of their time instructing the Federal Government on how to run the economy nd more on giving clear leadership to the Cath 1ic community on ssential matter of faith and morals."

The message was cle r: Cli r out the her tics nd get on with pie-in-the-slry th ology!

The argument is not really about a resp cted theologian's :p ulations concerning our Lord's R surr ction; it is about h th r the Church should allow ense of speculative onder about the gr atest en/ the orld has ever known.

The her, y-hunt rs ignore the fact that p cu/alive th ology is not dogma; they also do not credit God ith the right to /lo us (som ould say n encourag u ) to marvel t th mystery of Christ ri ing from th d. ad.

Lyle Thomas found a new life after his old one ended with a heart attack. And I'm not talking about heaven either!

Jody Bums is a person always running at top speed who changed the direction of her life.

a Recently a client COitsulted the Lutheran pastor Rev Fritz Pfoten· hauer, a clinical psychologist and theologian, because she was afraid of large crowds.

Fear immobilised her, keeping her from doing what she wanted to do.

She hesitated to go to the shopping mall on weekends and sometimes could not force herself to attend Mass on Sunday.

Dr Pfotenhauer teaches pastoral counselling at the University of 'otre Dame. Sometim his clients include people who have developed what he calls a "victim mentality".

These people are "sure of being ripped off".

They are consumed with safety issues, he said.

They lock and relock the car, fuss about whether their homes are "really secure" and dutch their handbags and briefcases desperately to their sides in public.

Fear dominates their Lifestyle, Dr Pfotenhauer said.

The fear of nonacceptance is another oommon problem that Dr l'fotenhauer "bumps

that they are victims of a particular Lifestyle.

He gave the example of a shy, quiet youth who grows up in a family where being outgoing and social is greatly valued.

By Katharine BIRD into a lot in terms of people's Lifestyles".

A person who is a lousy speller, for example, may refuse to write letters or to oommunicate in writ· ing. The person fears making a spelling error and found being inadequate.

Another person, fearing her housework isn't up to snuff, will refuse to open her house to guests.

These are some of the people who consult Dr Pfotenhauer about a problem affecting their lifestyle.

In their sessions he helps them learn to cope with their fears and to exercise their gills.

People mold their lifestyles over a lifetime, working hard to find a pattern of living that suits them.

At times, this means recognising that people have quite different personalities and needs which will a!Tcct the kind of lifestyle they prefer.

One now couple. retired. realised ea riv in their married life that they had different needs

in terms of relating to other people. They were able to create a Lifestyle that satisfied each other's needs.

The husband, though on public view frequently in his career as a trial lawyer, preferred a solitary lifestyle centered in his home.

In creating a satisfying lifestyle, it often is helpful if people can identify what kind of person they are.

Dr Pfotenhauer helps clients to do this by talking with them about themselves and looking for clues on where their strengths lie.

He was happiest staying at home. puttering in his house and garden, and entertaining guests only

An extroverted person relishes people contact, while an introvert needs more quiet time and less socialising built into a lifestyle.

on rare occasions.

His wife was a gregarious and fun-loving per· son who felt stifled if forced to stay at home. So she kept up her career and a hccti social pace. he regularly visited her many friends and took part in carefully chosen volunteer activities. Her relationships with others are centered outside her home.

When Dr Pfotenhauer counsels clients who hope to improve their I� lyles, he emphasises that a healthy lifestyle is an expression of a per· son's gills and limitations lived out daily.

A person who IS workand task-oriented probably will prefer a lifestyle which reflects this in the choice of personal hobbies, goals and achievements, Dr Pfotenhauer said.

People who don't know or accept who they are may have difficulty find· mg the sort of lilestyle that suits them, he said.

Or they may come to feel

Will Betz looked the end of his life squarely in the face - he was 86 and started peddling faster to realise a lifelong ambition.

Jean Chandler lost a job but found her roots.

Becky Woods had almost achieved one goal when the temptation to reach for another threatened to upset her well-

Early on he picks up the message from his family that this is the acceptable lifestyle. lf he spends time alone in his room reading, he is led to believe - or at least to imagine - that there is something wrong with him.

In adult life, he may begin to realise that the lifestyle he has adopted in conformity with his family's pattern is not satisfying to him, Dr Pfotenhauer said.

And he may decide to make some changes in his Lifestyle to mold it more closely to the kind of person he is.

The memory of the s/aredrirer floriing the Hebrew slave ens/ared Moses too, and his carefree lifestyle pressed on him unbeara· bly. ltelease came in the form of a strange religious experience, which altered the course of Moses' life.

He could look forward to a cushy future.

But he gradually sensed that this enviable lifestyle carried a shocking price tag. Self-awareness brought an identity crisis He was not an Egyptian.

The Record, November 10, 1988

Making impovements and changes in a lifestyle can be an ongoing process. In fact, it can become part of the stuff of spiritual direction, spirituality and conversion. How so? What does lifestyle have to do with spirituality?

WOLFORD H GHES As time went on. we

saw less and less of her as she kept to her room and prepared her meals at odd times from our small supplies.

I ache for her todav. but did little for her when a child.

However, the mark she fell on me help; me be more syrnpathetic with those I · meet today who are haunted by the angry ghosts of old hurts or those who cannot face the reality of their present lives.

But every so often someone's caring interest can work the miracle of rebirth for them. The long empty life sheds its shell and the dormant seed opens. But it is fragile and needs much nurturing.

Let me tell one such tale.

Jerry Jell with a nonchalant patriotic song and returned a broken record repeating and repeating horror after horror. He was in the group sent into Hiroshima to clean up.

The government had provided psychiatric help, but unlike most of his buddies he was released.

He came home to his small town, but only the local bar gave him any comfort, and short-term comfort at that.

Ierrv's father had died while he was at war and his mother grew into a strength of extraordinary proportions.

The other children Jell one b) one. but she persisted in caring for her son.

One day Jerry's rmy chaplain came to visit and after a week Jerry returned to the hospital.

A year later he was back. He never would be the carefree Jerry again. but the savage fires of his soul had been subdued.

Jerry joined his mother at daily 1ass and got a job.

Mer six months he disappeared again. His mother kept his secret, saying only that Jerry "is fine and very happy."

People surmised he was somewhere building a new life.

When his mother was dying, people discovered just what that new life was. Jerry returned in the robes of a monk which he wore with peaceful serenity.

His comments to friends were simple. • At last I've found what I was born to do: Console the victims of oppression personally and through my writing, and atone for the cruelty of war."

graphy and history, he achieved a goal that had beckoned for decades.

When Jean was invited to move oul of the area with her company, she took a close look at her Lifestyle and decided to stay.

She took a less demanding job and used her newfound energy to study her heritage as a Potawatomi Indian.

What she learned resulted eventually in revisions in the local history curriculum of the school system.

Beclcy almost had her degree but with the financial growing demands of her family, she was attracted by the offer of a full-time job at $9 per hour. She is struggling still with her decision.

An undergraduate degree would make it possible for her to apply to law school and potentially to earn more. But

the $9 in the hand looks inviting.

Lyle, Jody, Will, Jean, Beclcy - each is an example of a person faced with some dissatisfaction with a lifestyle.

Each faced the challenge of starting something new, finishing unfinished business and trying to break loose from the bonds of a well-ordered pattern.

Each approached the prospect with a measure of fear and apprehension and moxie.

There is a restlessness in Life that is uncomfortable, even tragic at times.

But the restlessness points to the need people experience to push on in the process of achieving fulfillment and realising their potential.

It is a chellenge that often begins in sadness or apprehension or pain. but which may in the end, to use Lyle's words, be blamed for a newfound happiness.

Quizzes, tests

Quizzes and tests abound to help people determine whether their personality on the job is Type A or Type B, whether their thought processes tend to be of the left-brain or the right-brain variety and whether in their relationship to the people and the world around them they are more or less introverts or extroverts.

It is not at all unusual these davs for people to expend time, energy and money in an effort to sort through the wavs that their personality and their lifestvle mesh - or don't mesh.

In order to allow the spirit within them to thrive, people want to take step; to improve the structures and patterns that constitute their lifestyle.

They recognise. too, that they can back themselves into a comer through a lifestyle that weighs them down.

It is a matter of reeognising who they are and what shape the patterns in their life take.

At first glance, the subject oflifestyles might seem simple. What people need to do is to evaluate the patterns by which they live.

They simply need to step back for a bit and then take step; to change things in order to allow the real self to show through.

But it is not quite so simple. Reflection on one's lifestyle is an elusive process. Further· more, it is a process that can easily be made trivial.

For example, evaluating one's lifestyle means evaluating responsibilities and commitments.

Where do thev fit into the picture? It • would be much too facile to say that responsibilities and commitments, in and of themselves, are what make a lifestyle oppressive.

Obviously. it as possible to take on commitments that exceed one's per· sonal capacities. interests and time constraints.

Then life can feel mighty weighty.

But commitments in themselves are an ordinary - though not necessarily easy - part of life.

Corn m itments

draw

people into the life of the world around them, There is no doubt that many people today want to create a lifestyle that allows them to be at their best as much as possible.

They realise that a lifestyle can possess a spirit of its own, and it may be an oppressive spirit.

However, the evaluation of a Lifestyle usually won't be completed in a few moments or days Moreover, evaluating a Lifestyle over a period of time may be one way to keep from trivialising the process.

Actually, a lifestyle evaluation that take, place over time can form an important part of the of stuff spiritual direction.

In the company of a spiritual director, it can become a significant part of the process of

From Paul Donnelly Claremont Sir, in the discussions on prisons nothing gets said about open, farm type prisons, nor about modern maximum security gaols; only the worst aspects of prison life are discussed.

Equally at fault in this are: the Joint Churches' "Prison, The Last Resort", the ABC's "Out of Sight, Out of Mind", and now Father McGregor O.M. confining his strictures to, soon to be closed, Fremantle.

The emphasis of all these commentaries seems to be on idle men continual y locked behind iron bars Yet in my prison visiting I always find hat my wife and I sit besrd the

Is the writer saying that rt wasn't blasphemous that Christ was por rayed as such? It is not blasphemous for a man or woman to have sexual fantasies It is simply sinful.
