B路p. Lamont Expects Return to Rhodesia

By AI Antczak

PASADENA, Calif. (NC) "I expect to be back to Rhodesia within the next 18 months," Bishop Donal Lamont of Umtali said here.

"I feel sure that there is bound to be a change of government within that time.

"I am still the bishop of Umtali. My duty lies there."

Why will there be a change within 18 months?

"Everything points to it. Time and numbers are on the side of the African nationalists and not at all on the side of the white minority."

Bishop Lamont was expelled April 23 from Rhodesia after being convicted of failing to report 'nationalist guerilla activity.

His diocese of Umtali borders Mozambique and his house i~ 400 yards from the border. He was given a 10-year prison sentence by a Rhodesian court, then expelled.

"There is an almost imminent collapse in the economiC situation in Rhodesia," continued Bishop Lamont. "The morale of the European people is on the verge of collapse.

"At the moment, every white male is bound to do military service every year. In many cases it amounts to up to 20 weeks. That has unsettled their families and has had its own effect on the economic situation.

"Furthermore, since their prime minister has declared that it is his intention to hand over

the government to a black majority government, you can understand their reluctance to continue fighting when they wonder what it's all about, since they're going to hand over government anyway."

Bishop Lamont said that President Jimmy Carter's anunciation of human rights as a basis of U.S. policy has had a definite effect in Africa.

"From the very first moment that President Carter announced his intention to support human Turn to Page Five

CARDINAL WYSZYNSKI

Demand Freedom He Tells Poles ROME (NC) - The Polish primate, Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski of Warsaw, has said that Catholics living in Communist Poland have an obligation to demand that religious freedoms be respected.

In a speech, released in Rome by the Polish bishops' secretariat, the cardinal told 50,000 at the Marian shrine at Czestochowa that "it is not enough to pray" for religious liberty.

"While we have rights, we also have the obligation to demand that in our nation believers have protection of the law," said the 75-year-old prelate.

He urged Catholics, who make up about 90 percent of the Polish population, to remind law enforcers that "each man should be assured that his ties to the Church, and his wish to profess Christ's Gospel will be respected always."

The Cardinal especially asked Turn to Page Five

WASHINGTON (NC) - Optional Communion-in-the-hand has been approved by the bishops of the United States and will now go to the Vatican for final approval before going into effect. ' The announcement came four weeks after the bishops had failed to resolve the issue conclusively at their spring meeting in Chicago, May 3-5.

At that meeting, the twothirds vote necessary for approval of the measure had failed, but the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' rules call for solicitation of absentee votes if the margin is small enough that the outcome could be changed by their being cast.

An official of the National Conference' of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) revealed that the final tally gave 190 votes to the group favoring the change.

According to the NCCB spokesman, it is not known when Vatican approval - which is comidered all but automatic, having. beeri granted in 43 countries already - will come.

But in the interim, he said, the present discipline in the United States' continues.

"When the authorization has been granted," the official explained, "the introduction of the practice should be preceded, in any diocese where it is adopted, by a thorough catechesis under Turn to Page Four

Urban Ethnic Officers

Big Gift WINOOSKI PARK, Vt. - St. Michael's College has received a $500,000 gift from Anne Pfeiffer Ross of Fort Lee, , N.J., to establish the Jeremiah T. Purtill chair of Catholic studies.

Mrs. Ross is the widow of a publisher, Vincent C. Ross, who gave $2 million to the college for a new sports center.

Her gift is one of the largest single donations received by the college since it was founded by the Society of St. Edmund in 1903.

Asks Refugee Aid WASHINGTON Leonel Castillo, Commissioner of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, has supported a bill to allow some 150,000 Indo路路 china refugees to become permanent resident aliens in the United States.

He told the House Immigration subcommittee legislation dealing with the refugees "should reflect the same spirit of generosity as previous legislation to regularize the status of Hungarian and Cuban refugees."

Laftty Needed WASHINGTON - There are 80 million unchurched Americans, 40 percent of the total U.S. population, and it is impossible for the clergy alone to reach them.

That is the opinion of Paulist Father Alvin Illig who said that effective evangelization of the unchurched will have to be done by lay persons who work out of their' own parishes.

"Besides being unrealistic," Father Illig said, "it would be bad theology and worse pedagogy for priests and Sisters to engage in this tremendous challenge without the active participation of Catholic lay people."

WASHINGTON - The National Center for Urban Ethnic Affairs, an affiliate of the U.S. Catholic Conference, has named Edward Marciniak, president of the Chicago-based Institute of Urban Life, chairman of the board of directors; Robert Corlette, who has been director of planning and development at the center, has been named president and chief executive officer, and Marist Brother 'Ronald Pasquariallo has been named director of the Catholic Conference on Ethnic and Neighborhood Affairs, a center subsidiary.

The National Center for Urban Affairs is involved in parish, neighborhood and community projects in some 50 American cities.

First Vietnamese SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Bishop Bernard Law of Springfield-Cape Girardeau has ordained 12 members of the Vietnamese Congregation of the Mother Co- Redemptrix, the first Vietnamese ordination in the United States since the refugees arrived two years ago. The ceremonies took place in St. Agnes Cathedral which was filled with Vietnamese and American, priests, Religious and laity from around the country.

Illicit Ordinations VATICAN CITY - Recent ordinations in the Melkite Rite of married men as priests to serve in the United States were illicit, a spokesman for the Vatican Congregation for Eastern-rite Churches has said. Questions were raised about laws regarding ordination of married men of Eastern rites to serve in America when Melkite-rite patriarch Maximos V. Hakim ordained a Brooklyn native, Romanos Russo in Montreal. Father Russo is married.

Man'ila Arrests

Abortion Report

MANILA - Sixteen Catholic seminarians were among 500 persons arrested by the military for participating in peaceful demonstrations during ebservance of Labor Day in Manila on May I, according to Church leaders.

NEW YORK - A government agency reports that three quarters of all legal abortions done in the United States in 1975 were performed on single w.omen.

The Center for Disease Control also reported that one third of the legal abortions were performed on teen-agers and about one-third of those receiving abortions were nonwhite.

Distorted Facts SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador - After meeting with military leaders, Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador accused the government of distorting the facts of recent expulsions and killings of priests and of breaking promises to respect Church personnel. "Thus far the government has failed to present proof of alleged subversion by these priests, in spite of our repeated requests," said the archbishop.

British Campaign LONDON - A campaign to bring British churches out against Britain's possession of nuclear weapons was launched in London by Bishop Victor Guazzelli, auxiliary of ,Westminster. At a news conference (June 2) to mark the publication of a joint Roman Catholic-Quaker- Presbyterian pamphlet against nuclear weapons, he committed himself to work toward persuading his fellow bishops to take up the cause of unilateral nuclear disarmament.

Childporn Legislation WASHINGTON - More than 130 congressmen and 20 senators have cosponsored legislation to prohibit the production and distribution of pornography involving children. Two House committees - Judiciary and Education and Labor - have held hearings on the proposed legislation in Washington and across the country.

Highest Ever WASHINGTON - The divorce rate ,in 1975 was the highest in U.S. history 4.9 divorces for every 1,000 persons, according to a government report. This was seven percent higher than the 1974 rate, the report said. The report said early information indicated that the final divorce rate for 1976 would be even higher - five divorces for every 1,000 persons. The report, "Final Divorce Sta- ' tistics, 1975," was issued by the National Center' for Health Statistics, a division of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

Vetoes Bill SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Within five hours of legislative approval of the death penalty in California, (May 27) Gov. Edmund G. Brown, Jr., vetoed the measure.

The governor's action fulfilled the promise he made during his state of the state address to the legislature on Jan. 6, when he declared he would veto any death penalty bill "as a matter of conscience."

Involuntary Sterilization ROME - An Oblate missionary provincial administrator for the Hudson Bay area in Canada has said that many Eskimo women are being involuntarily sterilized in government health programs.

Father Robert Lachat said in a report to the Ottawa go~ernment that about a third of the Inuit (Eskimo) women age 30-50 have been sterilized in six Arctic settlements in the last five years.

The Vatican also announced that a cardinal named secretly by -Pope Paul last May was Bishop Francisek Tomasek, apostolic administrator of Prague, Czechoslovakia.

Bishop Tomasek, whose creation could not be made public last year because of tension· between his country and the Vatican, will be solemnly proclaimed cardinal at the upcoming consistory.

The new cardinals will bring the College of Cardinals to 137 members.

Of these, 119 - those under 80 - could vote in the next conclave to elect a Pope.

In naming 56-year-old Archbishop Benelli to Florence, 79year-old Pope Paul replayed a chapter from his own life.

When the future Pope was in the job Archbishop Benelli now holds, and only one year older than the present papal undersecretary, the ailing 78-year-old

Pope Pius XII appointed hi.m to the prestigious see of Milan. The move paved the way for his election as Pope in 1963.

Archbishop Benelli, a native of Tuscany, has been papal undersecretary for 10 years. His job is at the center of Vatican bureaucracy, with almost every Vatican decision passing over his desk.

The Archbishop, who speaks fluent French and English, has been widely praised for his capacity for work, although some critics feel he should delegate more of his responsibilities to his staff.

In Florence, the prelate, who has been a Vatican diplomat for all but five of his 34 years in the priesthood, will gain pastoral experience indispensable for "papabili," candidates for the papacy.

Archbishop Benelli's successor as undersecretary has not been named. As Pope Paul has aged, more and more important decisions are being taken over by the "sostituto," thus Vatican circles are very interested to see who will become the Pope's new right hand man.

Camps Open House Sunday An open house will be held from 2 to 4 this Sunday. afternoon at Cathedral Day Camp for Boys and Our Lady of the Lake Day Camp for Girls on Long Pond, Route 18, East Freetown.

With 2500 feet of water frontage, the camps offer safe swimming, boating, water skiing and other aquatic activities.

IRA Supporter Not Silenced BOSTON (NC) - A Boston priest known for his criticisms of the London and Dublin governments' policies toward Northern Ireland will not be si~ lenced, according to his superior.

The priest has said he was subjected to pressure from the Irish consul in Boston, but the Irish government denied it.

Redemptorist Father Sean McManus will be allowed to continue to speak on human rights in his homeland, Northern Ireland, said Redemptorist Father James F. Foley, pastor of Mission Church, Roxbury, where Father McManus is assigned.

"There is no danger of Father McManus being silenced either by the archdiocese or the Redemptorist Order," Father Foley told NC News.

The church pastor issued the assurance after Father McManus charged that Mrs. Carmel Heaney, Irish consul in Boston, had asked Bishop Thomas V. Daily, auxiliary of Boston, to have him "silenced and leaned upon."

Although Mrs. Heaney could not be reached for comment, Irish officials in Washington contacted NC News to deny Father McManus' claims.

According to Father McManus, Mrs. Heany approached Bishop Daily, the archdiocesan chancellor. "She wondered why he hasn't done something about me, said I was sending guns, the whole thing," said the priest, who has been accused of being a supporter of the Provisional Irish- Republican Army.

The bishop then "mentioned his interest" in Father McManus, according to Father Foley.

I'm not going to report on the details of a very private and cordial conversation with Bishop Daily," Father Foley told NC News, but "I backed up Father McManus as a good priest and a good school prefect.

"As far as his priestly work, he's tremendous," Father Foley went on. Furthermore, "He has every right to talk out on human rights violations, as long as he's. doing it non-viplently."

themoorin~ . A Generous. PeC?ple Of all the Cath()lic families in the world, the Catholic Church in the United States is perhaps the most unique.

Misunderstood by many, its history has evolved out of the American· character itself. To those who cannot or refuse to comprehend the Catholic Church in this country, it remains an enigma, sometimes suspected, always. doubted.

Despite the obvious world confusion that exists about this nation in general, and the Church in particular, its generosity to the poor and the needy is never taken for granted.

Being an immigrant Church, God's people in this land have a very special place in their hearts for those who suffer and encounter daily hardships. This is most obvious in the American Catholic's unselfish support of the work of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

During its annual meeting in Rome this past month, the Society announced that it had received from the American Church $22 million in free wiJI offerings. This amount is more than all the other nations of the world combined.

When one considers that Catholics make up only about 25% of the national population, with a Church membership of approximately 50 million, this munificence is indeed remarkable.·1t is even more noticeable when we remember that in the total Catholic world population of over 700 million, American Catholics are only about 14% of this total.

This reflected spirit of care and concern indeed once again indicates that the Church in this land not only teaches a sense of mission but also supports in a way , unique among the Church families of the world, the realization of the hopes and aspirations of the thousands of missionaries who depend upon the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. It also clearly points out the loyalty of the American Catholic Church toward the Universal Church as well as its devotion and generosity towards all men throughout the world, regardless of race, color or creed.

The Church and the American Indian At their recent meeting, the American Bishops issued a statement urging U.S. Catholics to increase their "understanding of the present needs, aspirations and values of the American Indian peoples."

The Bishops recommended that diocesan and other Catholic organizations make efforts to improve their ministry with American Indians;, that special attention be given. to government policy and legislation with regard to Indians and that Catholic educational institutions promote prograins in the appreciation of American Indian history.

In these days when so many are rather unsettled by present Indian court claims in regard to land and property, it is important for us to recognize that the American Bishops have called upon the nation's Catholics "to promote and defend the human rights of all peoples and to recognize our own responsibility to join with our American Indian s-istes and brothers in their ongoing struggle· to secure justice."

For us who live in the land of the Wampanoags it is well to keep in mind that there is much we can and must do within our Church and in society to make our support real. It is important, in the light of the Bishops' statement, that we increase our understanding of the American Indian peoples.

The 'Nuclear Parenthesis' Much of the churches' concern about .energy-related issues has centered on the morality and risks in the "plutonium economy" - a future economy dependent on energy produced by ·broader nuclear reactors which produce more plutonium than they consum.e.

The NeC and other ·church, environmental and consumer groups have urged a moratorium on breeder reactors and strong efforts to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation thoough the spread of nuclear reactors.

On April 7, President Jimmy Carter announced several actions which fall short of these demands, but which still represent a major change in presi-

dential policy from past strong support of the breeder reactor.

First, domestically, Carter an· nounced an indefinite delay in beginning the commercial use of its breeder reactor. Second, he announced efforts to stop nuclear proliferation.

Jesuit Father Albert Fritsch of the Center for Science in the Public Interest and Franciscan Sister Dorothy Kinsalls of Net· work, an organization of religious and others lobbying on social justice issues, called the Carter proposals "a step in the right direction."

Carter's actions so far indicate that he supports the "nuclear parenthesis" approach to energy. In this .view, nuclear energy will mark only a paren-

thesis in world history between the use of fossil fuel - oil, coal and natural gas - and renewable energy sources solar power, wind, geothermal and biomess (organic material).

Debate then, will center on how quickly and cheaply renewable sources can be made available. A study prepared for the Joint EcOnomic Committee of Congress by the University of New Mexico, for example, round that solar energy is feasible in northern, colder states as well as in warmer areas. The study also found that solar energy is already cheaper than new electric heating pumps in new homes in 30 states.

In "Energy: The Solar Prospect," a study by Worldwatch, a Washington think tank, Dennis Hayes argues that successful projects involving solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy are already under way. He said renewable energy sources could provide 40 percent of the world's energy by the year 2000 and 75 percent by 2025.

"Every essential feature of the proposed solar transition has already proven technically viable," he said. "If the 50-year time table is not met, the roadblocks will· have been political, not technical."

A position paper for New Directions, a sort of Common Cause for international issues, notes that, "while renewable energy sources are being developed, the nuclear era will continue; but it is in man's self-interest that this so-called 'nuclear parenthesis' be as brief as possible."

Communion Continued from Page One the direction of the local bishop and the diocesan liturgical commission...

The practice 'will become available on an optional basis, with heads of diocese free to introduce it or not, and communicants free to conti.nue receiving Communion on the tongue even if the change is approved in their diocese.

Backers of the <;hange insisted that it should be preceded by thorough catechesis, which they said would rule out many misunderstanding -of· its meaning.

According to Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York, the change would be "an opportunity to teach our people to receive Communion in a dignified fashion."

Retired Cardinal Lawrence Shehan of Baltimore, although ineligible to vote, urged that the change be approved. "It is generally understood that when positive law cannot be enforced," he said, "that law brings about disrespect for all law~ The present law cannot be adequately and effectively enforced."

Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia opposing the change, pointed to the fact that Communion in the hand was already be· ing widely used, and asked the bishops if they were "going to run to legalize any abuse of Church law?" _1111111I1II1I1"lllIIllIIlIllllll1IE'~mHIORIIMlI,,"I'IIIlIl"'""IIUU'UU-

At his weekly general audience, the Pope said to members of the South African Legion, "We hope that when you return home you will lend all your efforts to peace - peace through justice, peace through the defense of life."

The Pope made no direct reference to racial tension in South Africa nor to that nation's discriminatory :legislation against nonwhites.

At the beginning of the audience he exchanged greetings with a Cleveland neurosurgeon, Dr. Robert White, famous for research in the field of brain'transplants. The Pope and the Catholic brain expert have conversed privately in previous years.

Trumpets, Tears at Close Of Sacred Heart School With trumpets and tears, alumni, teachers and friends of Sacred Heart School, Fall River, bade goodbye last Saturday night to their alma mater, which will distribute its last report cards and close its doors tomorrow, victim of the all-toofamiliar trinity of rising costs, dwindling enrollment and allbut-vanishing Sister-teachers.

He also accused the government of trying to replace the Church's sacrarnental system with secular rituals marking equivalent stages in life.

"No one can replace by force our sacramental system with secular ceremonies which for Cath<>lics and Christians have no meaning," said Cardinal' Wyszynski.

From my seeing the President on television, I got the impression that here was a man who realized that in the integrity of one's personal life was to be found the most solid substance for civic life. If the President were to be able to convey that message not only to his own nation ·but to the rest of the world, then it would have a purifying effect on society.

'Family Background Influences Church Relationship By

REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY

With establishment of an "ad hoc" committee on evan. gelization and the controversial "reconciliation" ceremonies in Tennessee, the American church seems to be turning to a new missionary emphasis. With this concern, the question of why people drift

About a third of American away from the Church becomes critical. A recent study done in Catholics go to church less than the archdiocese of New York once a month and "drifters" has brought the question before come from very different family backgrounds than weekly the public eye again.

In this connection, scholars church-goers. One-quarter of have demonstrated that one's them, for example, come from relationship with the Church is religiously mixed marriages (as' powerfully inf1uenced by one's opposed to 16 per cent of the relationship with one's parents "regulars").

More than three times as and theirs with the Church.

Because of the importance of many "drifters," as regulars the discussion I am going to come from families where neither anticipate in this column a book . parent went to church and there on which Professor William 'was considerable strain. Or, to McCready and II are currently look at it the other way, 65 per working, using data from a cent of those from families 1974 study of our National where both parents went to Opinion Research Center. church, and where there were

good relationships, go to church every week, vs. 22 percent of those who come from non-practicing and stressful families.

The New York report makes much of the "faith" problem of the. drifters. It has even been suggested that it "disapproves" the NORC finding about the importance of birth control (as though a study with a 10 percent response rate in one neighborhood could, refute a national study with an 80 percent response rate).

Undoubtedly "faith" is part of the problem of the drifters, but our study shows sexual attitudes and fam-

ily, background to be more important than "faith" problems in accounting for drift. in sermons, Improvement more sophisticated pastoral ministry, more democratic parishes -all are both good in themselves and can make some impression on the "drifters." But it would be naive and unwise to think that parochial and ministerial reform by themselves are going to be adequate to deal with problems deeply rooted in the personality with often uncon'scious origins in the childhood family experience of the "drifters."

'Right Now with You ' Better than 'April By

By

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS

Twenty years ago I addressed the 16th constitutional convention of the United Auto Workers (UAW) in Atlantic City, N.J. I noted that I was the first clergyman invited to make a formal address before a UAW convention. I told the audience that "frankly

is not likely to happen. "Moonlight in Vermont," "On Old Cape Cod," "San Francisco" all stir feelings for places we'll never go, things we'll never do.

I asked my husband, "What's wrong witli 'Right Now with You,' Why do we keep looking forward to something else- instead of enjoying what we have?"

I've been in New York in Autumn, and it's not necessarily all the song claims it is. It can be cold, raw, raining and miserable. But those things don't make good song lyrics.

Part of the problem is that most of the' here and now -

if you're honest-isn't exactly the best inspiration for a song.

"Monday Morning and Measles"?

"The Dinner 'I Burnt Last Night"? 'lI'm 'Leavin' on the Next Train"? . . . subtitled: I missed the one I was supposed to catch -because the lock on the bathroom door jammed and it took me 10 minutes to get out.

"One More Homework路 to Sign"?

"Across the Wide Expressway"?

"September in the Hurricane"?

"Under-the-bed-dust"?

Clearly, day to day living just doesn't provide the stuff that makes memorable songs. Church music doesn't improve by crossing it with reality either.

"The Old Rugged Kneelers"?

"A Mighty Fortress IS Our Debt"?

In our music we reach for things that will probably never be. And we路 do that with our lives, constantly looking ahead for something else, something better. Possibly it helps some bear with the trials of today.

But it's a waste ... We should be enjoying today, seeing the good in each person, touching

Paris'

the beauty of every moment.

Our teaching - particularly in regard to our religion - has been geared to waiting for eternity, looking forward to heaven ... in this vale of tears.

If life here is an apprenticeship for heaven, will God want to be surrounded for all eternity with people with long faces?

He created so many things that are pleasant: "The Touch of Your Hand."

"The Shadow of Your Smile," "With a Song in My Heart."

"Right Now With You," He surely wants us to enjoy all things He created.

UAW Public Review Board Enhances Union Democracy I am going to preach you a sermon," and I did.

Today, it strikes m~ as remarkable that out of that era of crisis arose one of the most innovative vehicles for the enhancement of union decocracy';'" the UAW Public Review Board.

The UAW could have acted defensively, closing its ranks against real and imagined outside enemies. Rather, the 1957 convention chose to open up the union, and to create the Public Review Board, which would offer members a second avenue of appeal, totally independent of the union's leadership. The Public Review Board is a seven-man independent

agency charged with the responsibility, as a kind of internal Supreme Court, of passing final and binding judgment on all charges brought before the agency by UAW members alleging violations of the union's constitution and by-laws.

Of course doubters prophesized that the Public Review Board would be a "rubber stamp," Apparently, they did not listen to Walter Reuther at that convention. He said, "I want to say to the delegates that this Public Review Board is not a new idea. The leadership of your union talked about this among ourselves more than two years ago. We have been work-

ing on it primarily as a part of the internal trial machinery.

More recently, however, we felt it should be expanded to cover the broad area of ethical and moral standards. You ought-to realize this is the real thing.

There are no ifs, ands, buts or loopholes. We mean to give the Public Review Board real status."

If anyone had doubts about the independence of the- Public Review Board( these doubts should ~ave died on the occasion of our first annual report. The New York Times said, "The first annual report of the Public Review Board of the

United Automobile Workers Union will be an historical document in the annals of labor union democracy . . . the board is, in effect, the Supreme Court of the 1.3 million member UAW . . . the first of its kind among the biggest American unions."

If I sounded a heavy note of foreboding 20 years ago, now I want to sound a note of congratulations. For today the UAW stands alone with the Western Association' of Pulp and Paper Workers and the United Farm Workers of America in having established an independent internal disputes mechanism.

Internationa I Flavor Found at Parish Festivals By MARILYN RODERICK

Last weekend I visted the annual Portuguese Spring Festival held on the campus of Bristol 'Community College in Fall River and as usual I was charmed. The festival was and is the brainchild of a small group of dedicated people headed by Walter "Sandy" Fraze of the College's Community Service Center. It has been enter-

taining and informing the people of the area each spring since its inception.

This year the festival was in the very competent hands of Helen Sallum and as usual was a blend of delightful music, lovely exhibits, and delicious ethnic foods. Each year I go with the thought that I will see what I saw the year before but each year I'm pleased and. surprised to always find something new.

Sometimes it's a new dance group, other years a tasty new pastry but always a fine blend of sounds, taste and sights to please aU our senses.

We in this area have much to choose from to educate and entertain once the warm

weather returns. Fall River and New Bedford are melting pots of ethnic cultures and this richness can best be enjoyed at the many festivals held in our area.

From church processions, simple or elaborate, of the Portuguese to the robust and highly entertaining picnics of the Polish from lawn parties, complete with ring toss, to a spicy plate of lasagna at my own parish's Italian festival, all can add new dimensions to our lives, help us understand the culture and foods of our neighbors and at the same time be proud of America, that has been able to accept these differ~nces and weave them into one rich tapestry.

At the Portuguese festival

students from the 9th grade Bi.lingual class at the Hartwell Street School in Fall River were selling a cookbook they had created themselves, with profits to provide the young authors with field trips. The following is a recipe from the PortugueseEnglish book which gives anyone who has enjoyed eating Portuguese food but has been unable to obtain the recipes the chance to have a collection at his or her fingertips.

2. When the onions become transparent add ~he tomato paste, salt and paprika. Add this sauce to the favas, bring to a boil, simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes, then add the olive oil and parsley. Stir and serve.

THE ONLY SAFE 'NUCLEAR REACTOR?

Nuclear Reactors Prefers , 93 Million Miles Away ,By John Muthig

VATICAN CITY (NC) - InJl speech to the ROinanCuria, a Catholic ecQl,lomist, Barbara Ward, has urged U.S~ Christians to be in the forefrpnt of s~pport for President Jimmy Carter's energy policy, and his battle against "squandermania."

The British economics expert told key Vatican officials that "every Christian citizen should be behind Carter and applauding him in his attempts to cut "squandermania."

Miss Ward spoke in the Vatican Synod Hall to cardinals, - bishops, and other officials of the Curia; the Church's central administration, on the urgent need to end "happ-go-lucky waste" and begin an era of international cooperation.

Her speech marked the lOth anniversary of Pope Paul VI's ~ social encyclical Populorum Pro(The Progress of gressio Peoples.)

Christians living in the world's industrialized northern sector, said Miss Ward, should lobby on behalf of "the billion people making less than $150 each year."

These people, she said, are "worse off than they were 10 years ago," and Christians must be ready to "bite the ankles of their congressman" on key pro, grams effecting them.

In urging "new, conserving life styles for Christians," Miss Ward asserted that "today you wouldtlit not,ce very much conservation in the average Chris~ tian family."

"We need 'philosop~y of enough' to ~ak,e us off the treadmill of more and more," she said.

Miss Ward cited a West German government study which revealed that two percent of the German gross national prodUct, or $7 billion, was spent last year on "curing the aftereffects ot t09 much $8usage and beer."

"If that amount were spent annuanY on water projects, we could get clean water for everyone on the planet by' 1990," said Miss Ward.

On key issues such as agricultural policy,' investments, food stocks and energy, "there is not anyy.rhere near enough Christian indignation building up," said the econoIQist.

She judged that the northern and C9Jl1munist-bloc countries are in a state of confusion as they' face simUltaneous economic stagnation and no let-up in, the rate of inflation ("stagflation").

The northern countries are going to try to stall on changes

a

in international marketing which , would help poor nations, unless they feel'the heat of public pressure, she said.

She gave her audience which included the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Jean Villot, and the undersecretary, Archbishop Giovanni iBenalli .....: a litany of economic statistics.

She said that: -The 30 ,ercent of the world's population which lives in the north and especially the North Atlantic region enjoys 70 percent of the world's income, probably 80 percent of its investments, and between 90 and 10Q percent of its new research.

-The developing world is paid $20-30 billion for its seven or eight leading exports which are sold to northern consumers as products costing $200 billion.

-Before energy prices went up in 1973, half of energy sold in the United States was wasted. ("It was so cheap people didn't give a damn.")

Miss Ward said that Pope' Paul's social encyclical PopulQrum Progressio could be consid~ ered the "founding document" for plans for a new international economic order.

The encyclical's conclusions are "more relevant today than when they were given," she said.

Miss Ward also criticized , "manipulating nature" through splitting the atom and tinkering with DNA, "nature's basic buildin~ block."

The arms race, she said, has reac)led an annual spending figure of $300 billion. A small portion of this could solve the world's major agricultural problems and clean up the. world's water supply, according to Miss Ward.

A past member of the Pontifical Justice and Peace Commission which sponsored her speech, Miss Ward~ncouraged experiments in solar energy to arrest the spread of nuclear 'power.

"I like to keep my nuclear reactors 93 million mil~ away," she said. "U's, much safer."

Choices: Ethics

By Andre HeUegers, M.D.

search" implies. that the research subject himself cannot possibly benefit from the pro,cedure or agent, the benefits of which accrue solely' to others.'

Such. is the case ill testing for the side-effects of new drugs on volunteers, who do not have the disease for which the drUg is designed. Obviously, it is easier to find a proportionate reason for beneficial than for ilon beneficial' research. For that reason, most debate surrounds nonbeneficial research.

The most controvOrsial research in adults, who can be fully informect, is that which takes place regarding prisoners.

In the United SQltes, they form a major test group for the first trials with new drugs. At ~sue is whether they are ca~b1e freely to consent to enrollment in research protocol. Outside of the United. States no Western nation uses prisoners for research. The moral danger is that prisoners are too easily persuaded to enroll. They are bored, have little earning power and are therefore easily bribed, may believe that chances of being paroled can depend on joiRing and, as a ronsequence, the freedom of their c~eht is in question.

While many therefore insist that prisoners should never be used, others argue that to. reo move the right to do good should not be part of a punishment for crime. Rather, they would insist that all possibility of monetary or other reward be eliminated.

Only certain prisOns; they insist, should be licensed for research to take place' there, so that special safety and monitoring standards can be established. . The inducement to use prisoners is great, for they can be closely supervised, the research "sample" can be. easily kept intact and extraneous factors bearing on research outoomes an easily be controlled. It is therefore insisted that the. freedom to drop out of experiments, a right to be iuar~nteed to ,all, must be particularly w~tched for. Whether all these elements, necssary. for the avoidance of undue influence, can be met in . prisoners is. doubted by many.

Where the freedom of oonsent is at issue in' prisoners, it is the informedness of consent which is at issue in children, fetuses, the mentally ill, and the mentally retarded: In~em8tionally, research on viable fetuses (i. e., fetuses who have the capacity to survive) is considered on a par with' research on premature , children. Live fetal research is opposed with particular vehem, ence by those opposed to abortion. This need not necessarily be so, for opposition to abortion largely grounded in the notion that the fetus is, in a moral sense, already a child.

Fetal research, then, is' a variant of child research, but on a class of children who are especially abandoned. Moreover, not all abortion is anathema, even to Roman Catholics, as witqe.ss indirect abortion§ and spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) in Which the issue of research can still be raised in theory.

Among those who debate, the ethics of research in the class of the incompetents, to make

There is little doubt- that medical research is under close scrutiny' by the public today. In part, this is due to its.volume and cost. In part, however, it is doe to the tendencyto insist on the autonomy' of the fudividual. s~n also in such movements. as truth-itt-lending, truth-inpackaging, full disclosure and consumerism. / To the extent that. medical research is a joint enterprise be-' tween researeher and subject, t!here is increasing insistence that research subjects be fully aware of what is to happen to' them. Congress, in fact, has established a'National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects in Biomedical and Behavioral Research, charged with the task of establishing ethical guidelines for medical research.

In general, it can be said that fully informed and free adults may give consent to become the supjects of medi~al research within limits of exercising a. reasonable' stelVardship over their own bodies. Volunteering for such research has long been considered an honorable act on behalf bf one's fellow man. Only at issue then is whether consent is free and fully informed, whether risk, or discomfort is proportionate to the knowledge to be gained and whether the research design is such as factually to yield the data sought.

AUI. four' of these 1tesiderata should be met for a medical experiment to be ethical.

Within these general,principles a further analytic refinement must be explained. Two types of medical research are commonly recognized: benefiCiaL and nonbeneficial research. The former implies the' performance of a procedure on, or the administration of a~ agent to, a person who stands to benefit as- much as to lose from it. Such is the case, for instance, in the first performance of a new operation, like the "blue baby" one, where not to perform OJ, is thought only to result in death.

My problem is that I had two abortions, which I didn't want but finally had. I know it was very wrong, so I haven't been able to go to Confession or Communion for 25 or 30 years. It's driving me crazy now. What should I do?

The best and right thing for you to do is to continue following that advice.

Q. Our daughter will be confirmed soon, and nothing has been said about a Confirmation name. Is it still proper to have a special name at that time?

(Del.) A. It is no longer required to have a Confirmation name diffedent from the one given at Baptism. The use of the person's baptismal name is allowed at Confirmation, since this better expresses the close relationship between these two sacraments, both of which are part of the process of Christian initiation and commitment.

Candidates may choose a new name for Confirmation if they wish. I'm sure this will be explained in your parish.

KNOW YOUR FAITH NC NEWS'

Com,forting th~ Sick

By Msgr. Joseph M. Champlin

-

My priest partner and I interview individually our candidates in the parish preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation. They are expected to know the names of all and something about each of the seven sacraments. Invariably a phrase, "the last rites," makes its way into the replies.

I usuaIly then ask: "If you were quite ill in the hospital and the priest was summoned, which would you rather receive from him, the last rites or anointing of the sick?" '''Anointing of the sick, Father."

With that reply, the young person's face normaIly changes and reflects a sudden understanding or better appreciation of this sacrament. The abstract, memorized answer takes on a more human dimension.

For nearly two decades Roman Catholics in the United States have heard the term anointing of the sick used in homilies and classes, public lectures and private conversations. But we seem to demand an even longer period than that for deeper level acceptance of such a new approach.

In the Introduction to the revised rite of anointing the sick, the Church indicates that the ceremony is not so much a final religious ritual before death as a liturgy for healing and strengthening the afflicted.

II

"This sacrament provides the sick person with the grace of the Holy Spirit by which the whole man is brought to health, trust in God is encouraged, and strength is given to resist the temptations of the Evil One and anxiety about death. Thus the sick person is able not only to bear his suffering bravely, but also to fight against it. A return to physical health may even foIlow the reception of the sacrament if it will be beneficial to the sick person's salvation. If necessary, the sacrament also provides the sick person with the forgiveness of sins and the completion of Christian penance." (Article 6).

'Solicitude for the infirm extends, of course, beyond the occasion for the anointing of the sick. The restored rite has some thoughts for relatives and others close to the ailing individual: "It is their task to strengthen the sick with words of faith and by praying with them, to command them to the Lord who suffered and is glorified, .and to urge the sick to unite them,selves willingly with the passion and death of Christ for the good of God's people." (Article 34).

As Catholics grasp this positive thrust, we hope the family and friends will call a priest for their loved one earlier in the sickness. when the sacrament can more strongly support the sick person's faith.

AMiracle For Rose ;By Father Dave Glockner

Rose'died on Friday.

Rose always wanted a miracle. .I always wanted to work a miracle for her, but the Lord had His own plan.

I met Rose four years ago when I began part-time chaplain work at Spencer State Hospital.

She had been injured in an auto accident and was paralyzed from the waist down. The lower part of her body was beginning not to function.

As a young black woman living in the mountains of West Virginia, Rose had known many hardships. At great sacrifice she had become a psychologist. Now she felt her life was' wasted and had no meaning. She often threatened suicide. ,But Rose also had faith- of a kind - not the clear, strong vision with which some are blessed, but the struggling, groping faith of the poor reaching out for hope.

We used to talk about suffering. What could I say? How could Rose see that God was good and loving?

Would he cure her as she asked? f never could assure her of a miracle. I wished I had some

power to heal her, and many others like her.

On Thursday, the day before she died, I visited her. I took a prayer book she had requested.

I said some prayers from the book and then asked if there was anything else I could do.

"Have you ever been baptized?" I asked.. '''I know I told you I havn't been."

"Would' you like me to baptize you?"

"Yes," Roose replied.

So Rose received the gift of Christ. The next day I returned to the hospital, anointed her and said the prayers of the sick.

She thanked me for what I had done and I thanked God for what he had done.

An hour later, Rose died. I truly believe Rose got a greater miracle than she or I had asked for.

Often' as I drive along the roads in my part of West Virginia and survey the beauty around me, I thank God that it was His plan for me to be in this place. Mingled with the beauty of nature there is the madness of poverty. There are lives that are Christless, but Turn to Page' Thirteen' .

Suffering: Test....,.....of Man's ·Heart?

By Father Alfred McBride

Few things are as certain as the possibility of suffering for every human being. Whether hit by a car, brought down by a heart attack, cheated by a business partner, slandered by the press or humiliated by the boss, one will come to know suffering in some way.

Ever since the first ache and pain, the question has arisen about its cause, whether physical, mental or spiritual. Why the pain? And when suffering and death become pervasive and unbearable, a further question emerges. Is there meaning to my suffering? I can see why the evil suffer, but why does God let it happen to the innocent? The Russian novelist, Dostoevsky, in his legend of the Grand Inquisitor, asks why a so-caIled good God will allow children to suffer and be violently killed?

There is a severity about pain and suffering that makes people think of God. Some cry out to God to be delivered from their pain. Others curse God for the evil that has come upon them.

Others again question why God would let such suffering happen.

This is the so-called problem of evil.

Now, so long as suffering is considered a problem to be solved by reason, answers are ·bound to prove unsatisfying.

Reason can only see God as the all-powerful master of the universe. At the same, time reason also realized that human beings have freedom of choice. If God is to stop a lot of the evil, then He will also have to stop a lot of the freedom. He will have to take back the gift of freedom so people will not be able to rob, brut.4llize and scourge each other.

Reason does see the dilemma caused by the contrast between God's power and the freedom of human beings. This is why a person of faith speaks not so much about the problem as the' mystery of evil. Reason can solve problems. Faith solves mysteries of religion.

The people ot'the Bible began with evil as a problem and wound up facing it as a mystery. Instead of wrestling intellectually with it, they confronted it with their hearts and thus found meaning and hope in pain itself.

Their reason said that God was all powerful and therefore should stop pain and evil. Their faith said that God's power was best shown in His vulnerability ~His woundability. They saw that the greatest suffering was in the moral and personal order.

The wounding of persons was far more painful than the wounding of bodies.

In their faith they saw that evil is overcome by good, meaning that evil is conquered by

The Old Testament tells stories and poems about a suffering servant - an image of God - who bears the sufferings of others. It was not just an abnormal seeking of pain, but

II

rather a wiilingness to be hurt in order to forgive, and thus cure the hurter.

The cross of Jesus is the greatest example of how evil's mystery is solved. His last words are about forgiving those who hurt Him. Here is a remarkable solution, not to the problem, but to the mystery of evil.

Jesus and Suffering

By Father John J. Castelot.

A fire breaks out in a parochial school and consumes innocent young bodies. A dam breaks, and the angry water sweeps away homes, families, young and old, good and bad.

Cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, cancer, insanity warp and maim thousands of bodies and minds yearly. Why? Why? This is a question with which the anguished human spirit has wrestled for thousands of years.

It seems that only God knows the answer. And even now that He has shown us, by the redeeming death of Innocence itself on the Cross, that suffering is not at all pointless, meaningless, it still takes deep faith to appreciate the mysterious lesson of the crucifixion. We are so prone to forget the Resurrection!

The Old Testament people knew nothing of either the crucifixion or the resurrection. At the beginning they were apparently content with the facile explanation of the Deuter~ onomist: Virtue brings happiness; sin brings misfortune. Now this is a valid enough principle, but it has to be rightly understood. So much depends on one's definition of happiness, unfortunately. Old Testament horizons were limited to life here below. Death was, for all practical purposes, the end of every-

thing. Happiness, then, consisted in health, wealth, long life, peace, large families - the good life. Such a restricted view was bound to create difficulties, and it did.

As time went on and the people suffered shattering reverses, they began questioning the truth of the commonly ac-' cepted answer. The Babylonian Exile especially, coupled with the dispiriting disenchantment of the return, opened their eyes and made them face the perplexing realities of life. During this period some of their best minds searched for a new, more satisfying answer. This search led to the creation of one of the greatest works of human literature, the Book of Job. In highly dramatic dialogues between Job and his friends, the author seriously questions the validity of the old answer to the problem of the suffering of the just person..When, final.' ally, an impasse has been reached, God Himself is introduced, and one expects Him to solve the mystery once for all. But He doesn't, at least not completely. However, the answer attributed to Him is reassuring.

Miracle

Suffering

Continued from Page Twelve there are also opportunities to turn hopelessness into joy.

'It was not within my power to remove the cup of sorrow for Rose, but because of the resurrection I was able to give her a glimpse of the glory in store.

Because Christ rose again and because he lives, Rose lives. She died aware of this heritage.

The mountains Jesus knew were not too unlike the Appalachians where the missioners of Glenmary labor, trying to carry out His command to "go and teach all men."

What if hope never came to the mountains? That is the terrible waste and the tragic sorrow that the missioners try to alleviate. That is my mission in Appalachia, and the mission of a hundred other priests and Brothers of Glenmary.

Continued from Page Twelve and wisdom lies Job's answer.

Could such an infinitely powerful and wise Creator and Governor allow an innocent person to suffer without good reason?

Such capriciousness would be a flat contradiction of His wisdom.

What that reason is we do not learn just yet. It was to be given some four centuries later, half of it on a cloud-covered Calvary and the other half two days later in a dawn-lit garden.

Just about every book of the New Testament assures us we shall share in Christ's glory.

They make it equally clear that we must also share in His suffering. The first Letter of Peter. keeps repeating this theme, but in a very reassuring way. This does not mean the Christian can be indifferent to human suffering. On the contrary, he must be very concerned and involved in alleviating it.

We do not have all the answers, but we do have some important ones and in particular we have the ultimate one: Our resurrection in the Lord.

SMYLE Summer Music Youth Learning Experience) will hold its third annual free music program for Southeastern Massachusetts young people from Monday, July 11 through Friday, Aug. 19 at the Dwelly Street Armory in Fall River.

Sponsored by the 215th Army Band of the Massachusetts National Guard, the program is open to youths 14 to 18 and offers daily instruction by professional musicians. Plans call for classes in music theory, formation of various performing groups and a week-long concert tour Aug. 15 through 19. Graduation exercises will take place Saturday, Aug. 20.

The SMYLE program has earned national recognition as a pilot project for National Guard bands throughout the country. It is hoped that some 150 young people will take advantage of the summer opportunity.

Registration forms and further information are available at the Dwelly Street Armory from SFC Thomas H. Perry, who is on duty from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. The telephone number is 679-5454.

Says Ma rriage Lifetime Job ST. CLOUD, Minn. (NC) Eighty percent of married couples who are in a divorce crisis can turn that time into one of "great potential growth in their relationship," according to Clayton ,Barbeau of San Francisco.

And "the earlier they tackle these problems with competent help, the better off they will be," he says.

The other 20 percent should not have married, or at least should not have married each other, Barbeau maintains.

The veteran marriage and family life counselor advises married couples "to take control of their marriage," and "not believe that they· are victims of circumstances."

"If a couple is unhappy and finds that their relationship is deteriorating, it is entirely up to them to put new energies into it. Their relationship is nothing more or less than the 'I' and the 'you' trying to become a 'we.'

"This is the stuff of it. Nothing in the outside world can do it for them. It's how they respond to the outside world that is making or 'unmaking' them."

Barbeau is a counselor for the Marriage Preparation Center in San Francisco, an independent entity that is approved. by the San Francisco archdiocese to relieve pastors of much of the . paper work involved in marriage separation, and to provide experts to lecture on communication in marriage.

focus on youth ...

By Cecilia Belanger I was just talking with a concerned mother whose daughter will be off to college the fall.

She said, "I know her Christian beliefs will get all fouled up once she gets on campus."

Not necessarily.

If one's Christian beliefs are strong enough, students can survive intellectual at.tacks on their Chtistian commitments. The ones who are vulnerable usually had no commitment to start with.

There is this problem, however, wherein some pastors, parents and CDD teachers fail to understand, or even admit, that Christians could have any intellectual problems. Those who doubt are often put down and shunned as "lepers." Many young people have left the organized church for this very reason - not because they are less Christian.

Only to a certain extent, howev«;1r, can classes in religion take up the slack caused by

spiritually negligent parents. If the youth's family is a spiritual shambles (and it can be, even . among regular churchgoers), sometimes it's too late to pick up the pieces.

Answering a Letter You ask me how God speaks to us today. He speaks to us through our human experience, through the events of history, through a tearing open of events for eyes to see, a stripping exposure of wrongs for public view. God speaks words of warning to us regarding the global crises of ecology and justice.

Our very outrage is God speaking to us!

We need always to look to Christ for wholeness and renewal. Only He can put together the disparate parts which have become separated and alienated only He can integrate them into a profound ooherence. In Him . "all things hold together." Our true identity is integrity.

It is difficult to find people whose promise and performance are one.

A typical person can be a multiplicity of persons, when we cannot know which face we are encountering at a given moment. To know a person of integrity is like finding a rock in the midst of shifting sands. But we keep looking.

Pope Asks Youth for Commitment VATICAN CITY (INC) Pope Paul VI has asked Christians, especiaUy the young, to reject the lure of today's permissive society and to become "committed and bound to Christ."

Speaking to about 12,000 people at a general audience Pope Paul asked.: "How many youth today go through this difficult moment asking, 'why shouldn't we experience things, why shouldn't we be like others?' " The ,Pope charged that both "authoritative teachers and liberal lifestyles" are urging people to "become accustomed litle-bylittle" to violating the moral ·code.

"This attitude," said the pontiff, "is not Christian."

He said that the Easter feast should jostle Christians out of their "everyday mediocrity" and make them more "committed and bound to Christ."

"The man inside us, living within us, is straining to renew himself, day-in and day-out," said the Pope.

Baptism has made men into new and supernatural men, he said.

"The new image of having been regenerated and raised to the level of adopted sonship of God has been stamped on us," the Pope explained.

"The idea of an innocent, uncontaminated, immaculate life must be restored to our Christian way of looking at things, to give us back the aim of living a new and truly paschal life, along with the grace to do it," said the pontiff.

Monks to Assist in Vaccine Test DUBUQUE, Iowa (NC) Eight Trappist monks for New Malleray Abbey ·will participate in a nationwide program to test the effectiveness of a new vaccine developed for the cure of . hepatitis-B, Brother Benedict Barbor reported.

The abbey's infirmarian, Brother Barbor said the Dubuque abbey was contacted by doctors from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Maryland about a

year and a half ago and' doctors from the institute visited the abbey to describe and explain the program and its purposes.

The monks were chosen to participate in the program because they live in seclusion and the chances of widespread contagion are almost non-existent, Brother Barbor said.

However, he said, the monks will fully participate in their ordinary functions within their community during the time of testing.

The USOC office also asked the FCC to allow 10caI affiliates to preview network programming a month before it is scheduled for broadcast to give the affiliates time to substitute for network programs they believe are inappropriate.

Lithuanian Catholics Prefer No Bishc'ps NEW YORK ~C) - Catholics of Lithuania would rather continue living without any bishops than have bishops controlled by the Soviet government, according to an underground publication reaching the West.

An appeal to the Vatican not to appoint new bishops appeared as the lead article in the latest issue of the Chronicle. of the Catholic Church in Lithuania to reach the United States.

It was the 25th issue of the illegal publication smuggled out of Lithuania over the past five years, despite continued efforts of the Soviet secret police to' suppress it and arrest its producers and distributors.

Lithuania, though most of its 3 million people are Catholic, has been without any residential bishops for years. Its dioceses are run by priest-administrators.
