VATICAN CITY (NC) -

Pastoral delayed WASHINGTON (NC) A committee of U,S'. bishops pre· paring a pastoral letter on capi­ talism has announced a one· year delay in the issuance of a first draft. The committee, headed by Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, plans to issue its first draft in time for the November 1984 annual meeting of the National Confer­ ence of Catholic Bishops.

The delay is to allow sufficient time for implementation of the bishops' new war and peace pas­ toral approved in early May. Archbishop Weakland also stated that the committee is changing the title of the letter from "Christ'ianity and Capitalism" to "Catholic Social Teaching and the American Economy." The archbishop said the new title "much more accurately defines the scope and content" of the proposed pastoral.

French-Chinese Catholic was re­ cently released from a Chinese labor camp after more than 27 years in detention, Vatican Radio has reported.

The station said that Ray­ mond Ratillon, 49, son of a French father and a Chinese mother, left China April 8 for France, where his father still lives.

Ratillon was arrested in Sep­ tember 1955 in Shanghai, China, during a wave of arrests of Cath­ olic clergy and laity, the report said. Also arrested at that time was Bishop Ignatius Kung Pin­ mei of Shanghai, now 82 and "still imprisoned for the faith," Vatican Radio said.

From the time of his arrest until his release in March, Ra­ tillon was held in a labor camp on unspecified charges.

Professor c,ompares Italian., U.S. values

By Liz MacLean "Here, work is an end in itself.

It is all-important. Even wealthy people continue to work. In Italy, however, the family unit, friends, people, are more impor­ tant. Work is seen as a means to make life comfortable, to im­ prove one's life. If this is ac­ complished, work is no longer needed."

That's how Mario Giangrande, associate professor of modern languages at Stonehill College, North Easton, summarizes the difference between Italian and U.S. values.

He teaches a Stonehill course on the place of Italians in Am­ erican life and has researched and lectured extensively on the subject, drawing on his own ex­ perience as a 20-year-old immi­ grant who came in 1956 from

"My family would receive 'let­ ters from relatives and friends boasting of success in America.

Occa~ionally gifts were sent.

Stories of success were often ex­ aggerated or fabricated because those in America were eager for their faqtilies to join them."

Such letters and gifts fostered a "myth of America," he said, with those in Italy imagining that lots of money awaited them in the new world and that the

streets were almost literally paved with gold.

But once arrived, most immi­ grants found poor wages and in· ferior working' conditions, noted Giangrande. He said that he was more fortunate than most be­ cause he was able to take time to study English and then to en­ roll at Boston College.

The only difficulties he en· countered, he said, came in ad­ justing to "weather, environ­ ment and architecture" and in making "all new friends."

'Kudos The season of graduation is finally nearing

~ompletion.

For months colleges and universities have vied to offer prestigious personalities honorary doctorates. Board mem­ bers and influential alumni have scoured, the countryside for the biggest names possible in efforts to add luster to commencement ceremonies and, not incidentally, to attract television and newspaper coverage.

Even high schools get into the act, attempting to add glamour to their proceedings by the presence of someone known beyond the pale of the local city .council.

This time of year is a field day, above all, for politicos.

From White House to Congress, from.governor's mansion to local precinct" graduation means notice for those whose job depends upon the whim of the voter. Especially those who think they" can read and write seek at any cost to get before the crowd. So often a politician seems to gain a certain credibility when pictured in the robes of acad­ emia.

The whole process is becoming rather embarrassing, especially for schools, colleges ~nd universities wishing to be known as Catholic, with all that the adjective implies.

It is somewhat anomalous for a Catholic college to award an honorary doctorate to a politician who supports' abortion. .

It can be somewhat scandalous when a judge or other legal notable is honored by a Catholic institution despite having publicly ridiculed and denounced the basic moral teachings of the Catholic Church. Even on the high school level, it is shaming that the speaker should be an outspoken opponent of any aid whatsoever to parochial schools.

No matter how much they desire publicity, Catholic schools on all levels should become more selective in their ·choice of people to honor publicly, either by award or, rhetoric.

It is horrendous to think that on the one hand we ask Catholics to follow their moral conscience in the polling booth and on the other recognize in a very special way ' the politician who is the object of such a reminder.

People in. public office or in any other position of note who openly oppose the church's' right to educate and to form moral conscience should not be flaunted before gradu~ ates, their families and friends as recipients of special honor.

They do not cleserve such recognition from the church, interpreted of course as a sign of acceptance and "approval.

From university president to high school principal, sincere efforts should be made not to embarrass .the church merely for the sake of a moment of media limelight. ' To be sure, some will feel that there is a dichotomy between, the person and his or her politics; who will say that they are recognizing the person, not his or her beliefs.

Such thinking, although commonly used, simply begs the question. ' '

The church is not offering 'a spiritual buffet. She can only serve a fixed-price meal; she cannot change 'her menu' to appease particular appetites. It is about time for some of ~ur Catholic educators to take this into account when they plan their commencement exercises.

This pr9gram has introduced me to a group of dedicated mar­ ried couples who devote much time and their considerable energy and talent to the worthy apostolate I of preparing engaged couples fbr the sacrament of matrimon~. ' ' The program consists of two four-hour sessions which include talks by five ,couples on such topics as communication, differ­ ences, finances, sexual intimacy and the sacrament of matrimony itself.

Most of' the time, however, is spent on lexercises designed to assist the: engaged couples to apply the 'lessons communicated through tile talks. The Office of Family Mihistry provides a pre­ sentation on natural family plan­ ning and a priest speaks on the wedding -ceremony and on Hu­ manae Vitae, Pope Paul VI's en­ cyclical on' marriage.

OPENING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, how grateful we are for being able to share together as a family. We pray especially for our grand· parents and ask you to bless them in a very special way.

Thank you, Father, for making grandparents for us to learn from and for us to love. Amen.

TO THINK ABOUT • Grandparents are very special people in passing on the heritage of individual families. Families should make a conscious effort to spend as much time as possi· ble with grandparents that the children might foster their own sense of identity and worth. It's easy to imagine Jesus visiting his grandparents, Joachim and Ann. He must have enjoyed the games they played and listened with wonder as they told him stories.

about the child who talks back and the child who goes into silence but what about the child who mutters under his breath when he doesn't like something you said?"

I was one of those who laugh. ed the most because we had a mutterer in our family and from the reaction of parents there, I found we weren't alone.

All of us need ways of re­ sponding and reacting in situa· tions where we feel put upon or unhappy with the prevailing ruling structure. With peers, we can say, "I don't want to do that" or "I don't think that's fair." But with parents, teachers and bosses we have to find ways of making our feelings known without getting into trouble.

The two most common meth· ods invoked by kids are talking back and silence. We had one of each. If I said, "You can't watch that TV program," to the former, she would launch into a dis­ cussion of her advanced age, her given rights and her feelings about autocratic parenting. If I said the same thing to the next, he retreated into aggrieved silence.

But then God sent us a mut­ terer. This was the one who at about age 11, spent a year or so talking under his breath. It wasn't until I went In for parent

he chuckled and let it go.

The friendJiest query he got was from a man who asked what in­ fluence the Vatican had had on the letter. The bishop used the occasion to advance another heretical suggestion - that the bishops of smother day had been wrong. He noted that after Hiro­ shima the European bishops ask· ed the Americans to join them in a condemnation of the atom bomb, an idea promptly shot down by Cardinal Francis Spell­ man, the apostle of getting along with government.

But it was obvious that the heart of the problem is the bishops' declaration that we must deal with the Russians as human '·dnp'~. Many in the parish hall had heard for most of their lives !win '.hi.: pulpit that the god­ less atheistic Russians were the source of all evill in the world­ in other words, the philosophy of Ronald Reagan.

"How csm we trust the Russ­ ians?" asked a baby-faced young man. "They have broken every treaty."

"The thing I remember about SALT II," the bishop reminded mildly, "is that we did not rati­ fy it. They did."

He was asked by an older man how the bishops had failed to notice the Soviet buildup, that "the only place we are superior is in our helicopters."

The bishop said that the Scowcroft Commission had said there was "no window of vulner­ ability," for which he was glad, but added that being vulnerable hadn't bothered him.

The young man came back again to the gnawing question of "trusting the Russians."

The bishop asked provoca­ tively, "How can the Russians trust us?"

There were gasps, and one man burst out, "That's unfair.

Look at Western Europe and Eastern Europe."

The bishop reminded them that the United States had drop­ ped the atomic bomb. In the hope of defusing them, he cited a familiar god, Fulton Sheen. who called dropping the bomb "the worst evil ever done in our world."

A man of World War II vin­ tage leaped up in indignation.

"The only reason we did was because we had it, and the others didn't. It was good that we did and got it over with. If we hadn't, we would have lost a million men invading Japan."

They were "just getting warm­ ed up" when he closed the meet­ ing promptly at 9:30 p.m. He did it by reading a passage from the pastoral about the need to train people for peace as they are now trained for war. It was a gentle reminder that he is not the only one in a Roman collar who is preaching revolution.

~'FallRive~ New Bedford Samaritans The Samaritans, an around the clock suicide prevention organization, will open a branch to serve the New Bedford/Fall River area.

Latest available figures show, say Samaritan officials, that each city recorded eight suicides in 1981. "Since suicide is always underreported," said Monica Dickens, founder of the U.S. branch of the international organization, "the actual number is probably greater, and for every suicide, it is estimated that there may be 200 suicide attempts."

The new branch, like the four others in New England, includthe centers in Falmouth and Providence, will offer "befriending rather than counseUng to anyone who is suicidal, depressed or lonely, both on the phone and in the center."

Clergy Alcoholism Council to meet The National Clergy Council

X. O'Neill, a priest of the diocese

on Alcoholism will hold its 35th annual symposium June 20 to 24 at Marian College, Indianapolis.

Featured speakers will be Archbishop Edward T. O'Meara of Indianapolis and Father Joseph ("Chalk Talk") Martin.

Other talks and workshops will deal with ministry to alcoholics, seminary formation, religious women, spirituality in recovery and the family and youth.

The program, designed for both professionals and non-pro.fessionals, is sponsored by the National Clergy Council, headquartered in Washington. Information on the symposium is available at PO Box 313, Indian· apolis 44206.

The National Clergy Council was founded by the late Father Ralph ~au (also known as "Father 'John Doe';), a priest of the Indianapolis archdiocese, to gather together in relative secrecy recovering alcoholic priests.

Annual meetings were held in various parts of the country in order to spread the organization's message of hope and its growing store of practical information and advice to priest victims ot alcoholism.

Support was provided almost from the begilttling by the noted Jesuit moralist, Father John Ford, who encouraged NCCA to expand its apostolate to families, the "other victims" of alcoholism.

In the 70s NCCA expanded both its general membership anel that of its board of directors to include laity, sisters and brothers. In 1978 the council's central office was moved to Washingcon, D.C. on the grounds of Holy Redeemer College. The present executive director is Rev. 'ohn F.

of Brooklyn.

NCCA promotes adoption of policies by dioceses and religious to assure .~ for members suffering . from alcoholism. It seeks. also to educate those engaged inpastonl ministry and the teaching professions with regard to alcoholism and alcohol abuse as affecting both individuals and families. Membership is open to all interested in learn-

building.

The suicide prevention pro· gram is expected to open in November. Volunteers will be interviewed during July and training will begin in September.

Volunteers should be 20 or ovet:, good listeners. and able to give Ii few hours weekly to .telephone duty at the Samaritan' headquarters. Those interested should call 993-6242 in the New Bedford area or 679-5222 in the Fall River area for an interview appointment.

Started in England The Samaritans began in Eng~ land in 1953 and was brought to the US in 1974 by Ms. Dickens, a British writer and descendant of Charles Dickens. She is helping organize the Fall River /New Bedford branch and is' actively associated with the Cape Cod branch.

With headquarters in Falmouth, that branch has started a jail suicide prevention program and was responsible for erection of suicide barriers on the Bourne and Sagamore bridges across the Cape Cod Canal.

Read·er,s disagree

_.

We answered that only she could decide how to respond to her husband's treatmen.t, and we suggested ways to behave, not lovingly, but positively toward him.

Some of our reader responses follow: --"Didn't address the real question the woman was asking ...

Chances are . . . the abuses will escalate ... No amount of positive thinking . . . will change that behavior unless the abuser is also willing to change. to Director of an Illinois shelter for abused women.

"Assault is a crime ... Firm, drastic action should have been advised - perhaps file charges against him, seek an injunction. at least separate herself and her children from him, even if it means getting herself and her children out of that house and leaving it to him." - Iowa.

We did not overlook the drastic solutions which our readerS propose but chose not to sug-

gest them for the following reasons.

1. "Get out of the house," Our reader asked how to behave positively. She did not ask what to do about her abused situation.

Perhaps, as some readers suggested, the problem will get worse. As columnists. reading her letter several states away, we simply cannot make such an assertion. Therefore, we take our reader as an adult. We answer the question she posed. We do not tell her what her problem is. Furthermore, we suggest options she might take (one of which was to leave the situation). We· do not tell her what to do.

2. Get her husband to change.

In many cases· a problem would disappear if one could get the other to' change. Unfortunately" this is not the way human relationships work. Making another person change is rarely a practical solution because it is not within our control. The husband did not write us. We do not know . whether. he wants to change. We answered the woman's question.

Being positive is nice, some of our ~aderS '.uggested, but it does not go far enough. Actually, we think that positive action is the most powerful means available to our reader. Confrontation, giving orders, insisting, demanding. an lead to hardening of a position, escahi-

tin~ of differences, anger, perhaps further abuse.

Being positive, on the other hand, reaches the spouse where he is open to being reached, where he can perhaps be motivated to change. The problem with being positive is not that it is ineffective. Actually it is most powerful. The problem is that it is very, very difficult to do when we do not feel positive.

The charge of wife abuse is currently popular and a very serious problem. However, like, other problems, it does not have one single solution. The adult facing the problem is in the best position to decide the action to take.

Counselors, columnists, family doctors, all can aid persons in making decisions. But they overStep theit role when they actually decide for another adult.

This is different from the abuse of small childTen or the helpless elderly.

Getting out of the house is one solution to abuse. It is a drastic step to take in response to three occurrences in seven years: It is not the only solution. And it is up to the person involved to. decide whether to take this drastic step.

Presidential commun~on queried WASHINGTON (NC) President Reagan attended a funeral Mass and received holy communion at the Navy Chapel in Washington June 2, a White House spokesman confirmed June 6. , The Mass was celebrated for Joseph R. Holmes, a long-time Reagan aide who died of cancer May 27. The president and Nancy Reagan attended the Mass and took communion before leaving for a four-day weekend at Camp David.

The event was reported June 3 in the Washington Post. Efforts to reach Father (Commodore) John R. McNamara the Navy chaplain who celebrated the Mass, were not successful.

In Father McNamara's office, Father (Capt.) Joseph O'Donnell, Navy chaplain and executive assistant to the chief of chaplains, said he was not present at 'the Mass but that non-Catholics such as Reagan are sometimes given communion.

"When I'm up distributing communion . I'm not making judgments about who should receive and who should not. The , fact 'that· it happened t~ -have been the president t;)f the United States doesn't mean beans."

The only way a priest can deny a person communion on the spur of the moment is if that person is a public sinner, according to Father O'Donnell. President Reagan "is hardly a public sinner in the eyes of the church."

Fathr John Hotchkin. director !,f the bishops' COmmittee for

Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, said if approached by nonCatholics priests "are trained not to refuse the sacrament so publicly. You might be misjudging them and cause other people to misjudge . . . Normally you give them the benefit of the doubt and proceed."

In the case of a public figure such as the president, "on the spur of the moment the priest might proceed as normally," Father Hotchkin saict.

He added that while most Roman Catholic priests "wouldn't want to seem to judge too harsh· ly," -and refuse the sacrament, "Orthodox priests are more likely to give a blessing" instead of communion to a non-Orthodox who approaches the altar.

Father Hotchkin said non· Catholics may receive, permission, from a bishop to receive the

sacraments of rconciliation, the Eucharist and anointing of the sick under certain conditions.

The non·Catholic must have a faith in the sacrament that is in agreement with the Catholic faith, should have the proper disposition to receive the sacrament and should have a serious ..spiritual need for it, Father Hotchkin said.

Also, if the non-Catholic is in a situation where for a period of time his own minister would be unavailable he could receive permission from a bishop to receive communion, Father Hotch. . kin said.

Usually the funeral of a Cath· olic friend would not be considered a case of serious spiritual need, he said, but if the nonCatholic had not requested permission in advance from the bishop it's not likely he would be turned away at Mass. .

Mother Teresa out of hospital ROME (NC)-Mother Teresa of Calcutta was released June 3 from Salvator Mundi Hospital in Rome where she had been admitted-JuneLfof, what..a,ho$pital spokesperson said was a complete medical check-up.

It was Pope John Paul who had suggested the check-up, a church source said.

A member of her religious order, the Missionaries of Charity, said Mother Teresa was "not in good health but feeling better" when she was released.

According to the church source

the. 73-year-Old Mother Teresa was suffering from exhaustion from recent extensive travels.

In May visits to charitable works conducted by members of her order had fakenher from India to Spain, northern Italy and Rome.

She participated in an early morning Mass in Pope John Paul's private chapel at the Vatican May 31. After Mass. said the church source, the pope said that she looked worn out and should have a medical check-up.

Conscientious objection

By Rev. William N. Matthews Pax Christl USA Many conscientious young men are concluding that the best expression of their patriotism is one that shows their devotion to their religious beliefs. This leads them to be conscientious objectors with respect to parti­ cipation in war. . Some are registering for the draft and writing statements of their religious beliefs to be filed with diocesan offices or other when a miltary induction order is received. Others are not regis­ tering at all, often writing the same statements of how their moral beliefs will not allow them to do so. These conscientious objectors are joining with other persons in peace marches, ral­ lies, and other nonviolent demonstrations.

Perhaps your son, grandson, brother or friend is one of them.

Why are they doing this?

Recently many have seen the movie "Gandhi." For Christians it is especially interesting. to see a man who, though not a Chris­ tian, took Jesus Christ at his word in his teaching about non­ violence. Few men or women in history have been so noted for trying to form a right consci­ ence, and then following it faith­ fully.

Forming a right conscience has always been a Christian ob­ ligation. In our nuclear age, forming a right conscience about issues of war is a particularly important call of the Gospel for each of us. Conscientious ob­ jectors have responded to this call in a specific way.

In 1945, the first and second and so far only uses of nuclear bombs ~m human populations occurred' with the U.S. bomb­ ings of I-Jiroshima and Nagasaki.

At fi~t very few people re­ flected Qn the horror and the suffering of those,. mostly civilians and innocent children, who were killed or maimed by

"the bomb." How could people reflect? No one had ever dream­ ed of a weapon so fierce, let alone imagined the human misery it would cause.

Commenting on the ushering in of the nuclear age, Albert Einstein said "Now everything has changed, except our way of thinking." Unfortunately, his statement is still generally true.

But what about our young people?

Young people today have the benefit of history, rather than personal experience, upon which to establish a perspective. Those in the draft age group generally have no personal. memory of the Viet Nam conflict. They have had no direct experience with the way in which the weekly body counts on the evening news became a part of the "us­ ual" routine ·in the homes of U.S. families.

Neither do the vast majority of these young Catholic Ameri­ cans know anything of cons­ cientious objection insofar as it is an official category of the Am­ erican laws about military ser­ vice. Much less do they know how to go about 'deciding whether they are themselves conscientious objectors accord­ ing to government criteria, or how they might go about es­ tablishing themselves as such in the eyes of their government.

Nevertheless, many young Catholics view war and its vio­ lence differently from their pre­ decessors. They are thinking twice about it; whereas the majority of recent generations (the present writer included) did not.

In the past, only small num­ bers of youths questioned regis­ tration or the draft. Nor was the supposed "need" to go to war questioned with any frequency.

Military service was seen as a romantic, adventurous and often necessary part of growing up for a young man.

. But many young people to­ day have begun to have, as the Second Vatican Council called upon .us all to have, "a new way of thinking" about war.

These young persons have lived their entire lives under the real threat of possible annihila­ tion. This has taken its toll on them. It has been hypothesized that this is one of the main fac­ tors behind the attitude of many young people who seem to place little' emphasis on planning for the future, directing their energies instead toward im­ mediate gratification such as that found in drugs and alcohol.

It may also have much to do with diminished appreciation fo.! a life long commitment to mar­ riage or a religious vocation, or indeed for long-term obligations of any sort.

Youth who conscienciously object to war are prophets to us.

They have begun to think in an entirely new way a~out war.

Pope John Paul II often re­ minds us of this imperative of the Second Vatican CounCil. It was also what a man like Gandhi exemplified in his life.

What truer act of patriotism could anyone perform for his country than to call it a"ay from disaster by his- courage to stand for what he believes is right?

Speaking at Nagasaki in 1981, Pope John Paul II said, "To young people everywhere, I say: Let us together create a n~w future of fraternity and solid­ arity; let us reach out to our brothers and sisters in need . . . bringing peace where only wea­ pons speak. Your young hearts have an extraordinary capacity for goodness and love. Put them at the service of your fellow human beings."

Religious leaders· rap genetic

WASHINGTON (NC) Twenty-one U.S. Catholic bish­ ops, joined by other religious leaders and scientists, have backed a resolution opposing genetic engineering to improve the human species and caned on Congress to prohibit genetic en­ gineering of human cells.

The religious and scientific leaders compared use of human genetic engineering to nuclear weapons technology.

In their resolution the clergy­ men and scientists "resolved that efforts to engineer specific gen­ etic traits into the germline of the human species should not be attempted." (fhe germline re­ fers to basic human cells called germ cens, which can unite with another cell 'and form a new in­ dividual."

According to the Washington­ based Foundation on Economic Trends, which released the reso­ lution, the Catholic prelates who back the resolution include Archbishops John L. May of St. Louis; JQhn F.

Spanish issues VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has called on Spain's socialist government to respect the convictions of the nation's predominantly Catholic population on abortion and reli­ gious education. The issues have produced disagreements between the Spanish Catholic hierarchy and the government. Accepting the credentials of Spain's new ambassador to the Holy See, Nuno Guirre de Career y Lopez de Sagredo, the pope spoke of the "right of parents to choose reli­

gious, moral and human educa­

tion which corresponds to their

own convictions" and said that

protecting "the' irreplaceable role of the family in civil society" means respecting unborn human

life.

Warning ATMORE, Ala. (NC) - Less than a week before his April execution in the electric chair, condemned murderer John Louis Evans II videotaped a message to school children, to be used after his death; telling them, "Don't follow me." According to the priest who was his spiritual adviser, Father Kevin Duignan of St. Robert Parish, Atmore, "He wanted it used as a weapon against crime."
