By NC News Service Remaining a pivotal figure in the international spotlight, Pope John Paul II began this week with an hour-long private meet­ ing at Vatican City wi~h Presi­ dent Reagan. This morning he is scheduled to arrive in Argentina for a hastily-arranged 36-hour stay desigl\ed to counterbalance his trip to Great Britain earlier this month.

The Vatican City meeting was the first between Reagan and the pope, although they exchanged sympathetic messages last year when both were targets of assas­ sination attempts and have also

~240 MSGR.COURNOYER

60 years a praest

Msgr. Cournoyer

By Pat McGowan

Talking to Msgr. Joseph A. Cournoyer is like opening a win­ dow on the gentler days of 60 years ago, when a newly-ordain­ ed priest could go an entire Cape Cod vacation season with only one sick call; when his sum­ mer flock at Our Lady of Lour. des parish, Wellfleet, expanded by only 50 or 60 persons; when he had a beach all to himself for his daily swim.

Of course, mused Msgr. Cour­ noyer, It was also an era when it took nearly all his day off simply to reach his New Bedford hom~. "I had to take the train to Wareham, another train to Fairhaven and a ferry from Fair­ haven to New Bedford. Then I climbed the hill from the dock to where I could get a trolley car home."

Not surprisingly, there were few such trips that long-ago summer.

Recently Msgr. Cournoyer rem­ inisced about the days when the Fall River diocese was young in a leisurely interview at the New Bedford home he has shared with his sister, Mrs. Emma Wil­ son, sil')ce he retired in 1969 from the pastorate of St. Mi­ chael's ~arish, Swansea. }/. few days before, on May 25, he had marked his 60th anni-

versary of priestly ordination with a concelebrated home Mass of thanksgiving. Flowers still brightened the living room and cards were on display.

A letter of congratulations had come from Bishop Daniel A. Cronin, wishing the 87-year-old jubilarian well and thanking him for his contributions to the dio­ cese. And priest-friends gathered to concelebrate the jubilee Mass,­ including Msgr. Henri Hamel, Msgr. Alfred J. Gendreau, Father Paul E. Canuel, Father Ernest E. Blais and Father Clement E. Du­ four.

Father Blais came to the cele­ bration from the task of rees­ tablishing parish life at fire­ ravaged Notre Dame Church, Fall River, where Msgr. Cour­ noyer had served a total. of 21 years.

Father Dufour, the present pas­ tor of St. Michael's, Swansea, from which Msgr. Cournoyer re­ tired as pastor emeritus after 24 years of service, during which he enlarged the entire parish plant, brought with him the love and good wishes of parishioners.

Born in 1894 in Webster, the jubilarian came to New Bedford at age three, when his family settled in the former St. Hya­ cinth parish. One of his early Tum to Page Eight

the

themoorin~ A. Problem for A.II 'Pte figures are in and they speak for themselves.

The shortage ·of priests in the United States is about to reach crisis proportions. Official Catholic Directory statis~ . ticians estimate that the Catholic Church in America will have 50 percent fewer active priests by the end of the century, a mere 17 and a half years away. ( A quick glance at seminary enrollment tells much of\~ the story. In 1966 there were 48,000 seminarians. By 1972 this 'number had been reduced to 22,963.. Now, if one can stand· the impact, there are only 11,500; down 800 from . last year's figure.

Over the last 16 years, the figures indicate a decrease of 36,500 seminarians in this country. In other words, there are over 75 percent fewer men studying for the priesthood than there were in 1966. And there seems no end to the slide.

Some of the fallout from this decline is obvious and already having its effect. The Catholic Directory reports a present total of 58,085 religious and diocesan priests in the United States. Taking into consideration the drop in seminarians' and allowing for attrition due to retirement and disability, it is projected that by the year 2000 fewer than 25,000· priests will be serving the American church.

If today there are dioceses that must close parishes because of a shortage of priests, jf .today many priests are involved in dual or triple ministries, and if today priests are burning out from overwork and stress, what will it be 'like in a few short year~?

Some Catholics are looking to the permanent diacon­ ARCHBISHOP OF CAN1l'ERBURY ROBERT RUNCIE AND POPE JOHN PAUL II SHARE PRAYER IN

Some feel that .the sole solution is to reshape ordained ministry; but it is obvious that such remedies are.in the realm of speculation. The Holy Father has consistently rejected the idea of married priests or women priests.

subcommittee. He suffered eye hemorrhages. A stroke left him with tunnel "isiop. He wanted to work, Ethel said, but he couldn't even walk without someone hold­ ing him up on either side.

But on May 14 last year, Kage was informed of "pending cessa­ tion of benefits" and told that the decision was based on re: ports from his own doctors.

ActuaJly both of his doctors had written letters to Social Security attesting that he was "in no condition for employ­ ment." On July 30, the Kages got a notice that his benefits were terminated "effective that date."

Ethel Kage wrote in August asking for reconsideration." In October, she caJJed the regional office to find out the status of her appeal. The voice on the telephone said she would caJJ back - and never did. Three weeks later, Ethel Kage caJJed again and the voice said her hus­ band's records had not come from -Baltimore - they were "tied up in the computer."

"AJJ this time, we had been without any income," she said stoically.

She, went to work as a secre­ tary in the local high school. Her husband, having, been officially notified that he was able-bodied, found a job of sorts as a care­ taker in the cemetery. He devel­ oped gangrene in a toe and was hospitalized. .

On Nov. 5, Ethel Kage sent a SOS to Senator Levin.

Levin has in his files a copy of an .internal Social Security memo dated Oct. I, written by a disability eJtaminer at the Balti­ more headquarters, saying of Kage, "Initial cessation appears shaky to me." , . Levin's intervention resulted in another notice of "disability determination" and a new ap­ pointment with the doctor who had found Kaye "not a total cripple."

On Nov. 27, Richard Kage had a heart attack and died.

"I called the district office," Ethel Kage told the senators in a remarkably steady voice, "to say that Dick would not keep his appointment, that he had died.

The woman didn't say anything."

Apparently, the death of Rich­ ard Kage meant another file could be closed., Richard Kage's doctor of 18 years, Keats V. Vining of Grand Rapids, Mich., wrote a letter that should be framed and hung on the walls of the Disability Deter­ . mination Section: "This is probably the greatest example of a miscarriage of a disability determination by a bureaucracy that can't possibly function in an honest and ethical fashion. . . . This service is a disastrous failure."

The Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, an­ nounced today that St. Roch's parish in Fall River wiIl close at the end of this month. Services at the Parish will cease follow­ ing the Sunday Masses on June 27, 1982.

In making the announcement, Bishop Cronin explained that St. Roch's parish has been experi­ encing a decline in parishioners for more than a decade. Demo·, graphic changes in the central section of Fall River contributed to this decline.

Response to fire Dear Editor: On May 11, 1982, hundreds of people in Fall River stood out­ side the Notre Dame church area and watched their homes and worldly possessions destroyed by the great inferno that levelled the beautiful Notre Dame Church.

My daughter and her family were among those families. I, too, stood among God's people as I watched the expressions of families in the streets crying and clinging to one another.

As I stood, partly frozen from unbelief at what I was witness­ ing, and tried to console my , daughter and her family, I won· dered what God's reason was for choosing those families involved.

Why those specific people? What was the message for them and for us?

For my daughter, it restored her faith in human nature. Carol is a young woman who can still vividly remember the teen-age years and the difficulties coping with peer pressure. To Carol, the world was not a nice place to be in and that's an unsound and weak attitude with which to go through life.

We ourselves sometime have thIs same attitude. As we read the front pages of our local newspapers - wide spread with crIme and violence, how quickly we read through ·the good news on the 10th or 11th page - of the teen or young adult who is to be admired for their action, but spend much time reading every word of the unfortunate youth who came along with his friends, probably for the first time, getting involved with some wrongdoing.

We have beautiful people in Fall River and our surrounding areas whose compassion was and is still overwhelming at this time when these victims needed them.

My daughter and her falJ)ily stayed with us for three weeks after the fire and so much of the response came through our home.

The phone never stopped ringing for days with people who offer­ ed their help and concern in vari· ous ways. We would come home to find clothing, groceries and gifts at our doorstep, never knowing where some of them came from.

The response from the Red Cross, Salvation Army, St. Vin­ cent de Paul Society, the Bishop and the city of Fall River as well as our families, friends and neighbors was overwhelming.

Within 48 hours of that un· believable experience,my daugh· ter said to me, "Mom, I thought there were more rotten people in this world than good, but now I can see that there are more good people, more caring and loving people than I ever real· ized."

I stoo~ with tears of joy, full of graces of God and quietly said, "Praise you, Jesus Christ, for all the good you bestow on us." Carol's faith in human na-

The national director stressed the desire of Pope John Paul II that World Mission Sunday, to

be celebrated on Oct. 24 this year, "become an increasingly important day in the life of the church, a day on which Catholics throughout the world witness in prayer and sacrifice to the unity and universality of the church."

Over a quarter century it was Msgr. Cournoyer, as an old New Bedford hand, who assisted· the Franciscan friars of Our Lady's Chapel in establishing them­ selves in the Whaling City.

Named a domestic prelate in 1964, he recalls knowing every bishop of the Fall River diocese except its founder, ·Bishop Wil­ liam Stang.. "Of course I· was around at his time, but I didn't . actually know him," he said.

These days Msgr. Cournoyer has more time for' his lifelong hobby of reading; A prime favor­ ite is his often-perused History of the Church· by· Henri Daniel­ Rops, all of whose works he has read.

He laments, however, today's letdown of morality, evidenced even in the mystery novels he enjoys and the writings of au­ thors previously above reproach. . But although he loyally main­ tains that "we had a lot of good things in our day too," he is pleased by recent changes in church practice, feeling that they have made the Eucharist and other sacraments more avail­ able to the faithful - his ideal throughout his ·priestly life.

He did not make specific ref­ erence to Israel's invasio,n, say­ ing the crisis in Lebanon con­ tains a danger "of furth~r provo­ cation in the Middle East, with immense consequences for world peace."

The pope caIled for "reciprocal' trust between nations - a trust that is manifested and proved through constructive negotiations that aim at ending the arms race, .and at liberating immense re­ . sources that can be used to aIle· viate misery and f~ed,millions of hungry human beings."

In Latin Ameri~a, Reagan said,

the U.S. wants "to work closely with the church . . . to help promote peace, social Justice and reform, and to pr~vent the r spread of repression and giless tyranny."

Regarding disarmament, the U.S. leader pledged "to do every­ thing possible" through the Uni­ ted Nations' special session on disarmament and through "our individual initiatives for peace and arms reduction, to help bring a real, lasting peace throughout the world."

During the pontiffs 36 hours in Argentina, plans caU for him to celebrate two outdoor Masses, one at 5 p.m. today at a Marian shrine at Lujan, about 40 miles from Buenos Aires, the other in Buenos ~ires tomorrow morning.

It was expected t~at he would be greeted at the Buenos Aires airport this morning by Presi­ dent Leopoldo Galtieri, an army general and also meet with :the other members of the three-man ruling military junta June 11.

The government added that the junta members would attend to­ morrow's Mass. '

This would contrast with the British trip, during which the pontiff avoided meeting govern­ ment leaders. He met with Queen Elizabeth, but in her role as 'titular head of the Church of England, not as titular head 'of

state.

The moral inacceptability of conventional warfare, such as it being used by. Argentina and Britain: has been a steadily es­ calating 'papal theme since the' fighting started over possession of several South Atlantic is­ lands.

Argentina could provide a more dramatic setting than Brit­ ain for such messages because it has received the brunt of the fighting. It chaIlenged the world's third most powerful military force, which sent nuclear-pc;>wer­ ed submarines and sophisticated conventional' weapons to do battIe with Argentina's hand-me­ down war machines from' the United States and , Western Eu­ rope.

Many Argentines resented the pope's decision not to cancel his British trip because of the fight­

ing, seeing this as a be.traya! of their nation's CathoIi'c' culture by their spiritual leader. About 90 percent of the 28 million Ar. gentines profess Catholicism and the nation's president is required to be a practicing Catholic.

Argentina may provide the pope with a more dramatic set·' ting for his peace message, but it also could require a more deli­ cate pastoral approach to people physicaIly far closer to the scene of war than are the British. •

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., June 11, 1982

uestfon corner

By Father John 'Dle~eD Q. My Protestant employer re­ cently passed away. 'Today one of my Catholic co-workers and I were cUscussing the appl'9priate­ ness of sencUng a Mass card to the family, having a Mass ~ereel for him. .

Is It all right to do this? Do the merits. of a Mass for the dead apply to those who are not Cath­ olic? (Massachusetts) A. The Mass can definitely be offered for the intention of those who are not Catholic. It may be announced publicly (in the par­ ish bulletin; for example,) if two conditions are fulfilled: .

1. The request for the celebra­ tion of Mass for the Protestant person should be made by the family, or at least explicitly ap­ proved by them. This is simply to assure that the non-Catholic's family will not be offended by something they do not believ.e in and perhaps might reject.

2. There should be no scandal resulting, either for Catholics or for those of other faiths because of the announced intention of the Mass.

In this position, the church simply recognizes, in one of many ways, that it has no corner on God's love, on Christ's re­ deeming grace or on the direc­ tions in which the grace and love of the crucified and risen Christ - celebrated and represented in the Eucharist - will go.

Jesus Christ died for all man­ kind, as St. Paul and the rest of the New Testament attest time and again. If the Mass, the cele­ bration of the Eucharist; is as we believe it to be, the reoffering of that once-and-for-all sacrifice to the heavenly. Father, then every Mass is for all humankind too.

The Catholic Church does not, however, try to force itself or its beliefs on anyone, so it is very conscious of not imposing itself on another, even after death.

(Hence the rule about not Viola­ ting another human being's cons­ cience or that of the family, even after he or she has died.

Q. I have seen In non-Cath­ ollc churches that their crosses do not cUspiay the body of Christ. My friends who attend there give me the reason that they beUeve Jesus Is Uving. I know that we believe he Is living, too. When cUd the Catholic Church begin using the CI1Iclflx?

the same reason. In fact, even when the body of Christ began to appear more on crosses, it was often the risen living Lord that was shown, rather than the dying or dead Christ that became common later.

Around the 1200s, the passion of Christ became more central in Christian theology and spirit­ uality. Crucifixes graphically showing the suffering Christ be­ came popular and remained. so until our own time.

With today's renewed empha­ sis on the resurrection and its central place in the - history of salvation, something like jewel­ ed crosses and crucifixes with the body of the risen Christ are seen more and' more, even in our Catholic churches.

A. The practice of portraying the body of the crucified Lord on the cross began relatively recent· ly - if one can call about 700 years ago recently.

During the first 600 years or so after Jesus' death and resur­ rection, picturing the body of Christ on crosses 'was very rare.

The conviction that the death of Christ was part of the whole paschal, or Easter, event was so deep in the church that the heaviest emphasis was placed on the resurrection.

Particularly ,n the fifth and sixth centuries, crosses were adorned with precious jewels for

Families

By David Gibson

When our oldest child gradu­ ated from COllege it was a peace· ful rite of passage, in sharp con· ,trast to her graduation from high school.

I had expected her high school graduation weekend to be one of steady celebration. Instead it was filled with tension.

• Then came the baccalaureate service. A Baptist minister, the father of a graduate, spoke. He described the emotional climate in his home. He could have been looking in our windows.

Then he discussed what was happening.

He said our children saw high school graduation as an impor­ tant adult threshold. They were scared.

We parents were also worried, wondering if our children could survive without our close super­ vision.

He said other personal·con­ cerns might surface at this time too.

Some time later. through the work of Dr. Robert Hughes. I realized that the minister was pointing to the "anniversary crisis."

Hughes is a husband. a father. an Episcopal priest and a sem­ inary professor. He has explored how being a mother or a father Turn to page thirteen

No two famiiies are exactly alike.

One family faces severe finan· cial pressure. It influences the ways members relate to each other, how they spend leisure time, even how they plan for the future.

Another family has lost a par· ent. All family members have been changed by that event.

In one family, there is heavy emphasis on extracurricular ac· tivities. Much money is spent on such activities for both children and adults.

Pharisees

Continued from page twelve Jesus consorts with sinners. Es­ pecially to the Pharisees, tax collectors were considered sin. ners on more than one count.

They were agents of a pagan foreign power, Rome'. They col­ lected taxes from their own peo­ ple to finance that power. More­ over, having bid and paid for the job, tax collectors had to re­ coup their investment by extort­ ing money above the legal tax rate.

Many, in short, were crooks.

Then, because their business kept them in frequent contact with gentiles, who cared nothing about ritual purity, tax collec­ tors were often considered un­ clean.

Also Levi was probably in the employ of the Jewish King He­ rod A'ntipas. That did little for his image.

The banquet story once may have involved a meal iIt Jesus' own house - according to a Greek text of the Gospel which reads, "While he was reclining to eat in his house." But now, joined to the call of Levi, the story tells of a banquet in Levi's house.

At any rate, the guests includ­ ed a crowd of "tax collectors and those known as sinners."

Sinners, especially to many Pharisees, were those who did not carefully keep the prescrip­ tions of their traditions.

Pharisees have often gotten a bad press. Bijt it should be re­ membered that in the main they were very sincere and religious.

They carefully kept themselves separate (pharisee means sep· arated) from anythhig or anyone that might cause them to con­ tract legal uncleanliness.

Thus Pharisees understand­ ably were sometimes scandalized

by Jesus' conduct. Fatima with people like Levi was especially repulsive to them. Sharing a meal was a sign of unity and the chance of eating unclean food from impurified dishes was more , than good.

But Jesus' answer was: "People who are healthy do not need a doctor, sick people do."

For Mark's community, the all. embracing table-fellowship of Jesus taught an important lesson: The community has to welcome all to the eucharistic banquet.

Continued from page twelve amid continual music and noise; others don't.

I know a couple in their 50s who have six children ranging in age from 32 to 14. The older children think - and don't fail to mention - that, they were raised much differently from the yonuger ones.

The fact is, parents learn and change on the job. That is one thing families have in common. , There is no blueprint for family life or parenthood. In the process of developing their roles, many parents compare notes, talk over problems and generally try to figure out what other parents do that works.

But in American society there is a heavy emphasis on privacy.

There is much about family life that people seldom tell each other. Sometimes what is not told is just·what another parent most needs to hear and to under. stand.

Perhaps the evening meal goes badly at least two or three nights a week in one home. Why are their children so fussy at dinnertime, the parents wonder.

The parents may even think this is their personal failure.

In another home, a 15-year­ old teen-ager spends much of his time in his room. He's enter· ed into a quiet stage and his par· ents feel frozen out. Again, they've started to wonder where they failed. Perhaps, they hllven't failed, but that doesn't make this phase of their son's life any easier for them.

The parents of a 13-year-old girl in another home are dis­ turbed at some ways she is hand­ ling peer pressure at, school.

Among other things, they think 'she is developing some racist at­ titudes ,that are expressed in her group - attitudes that do not reflect the parents' values. What can be done?

In yet another home, the par­ ents are distressed because their child takes no interest in his faith. Faith is a focal point of their lives. They wonder how to get its importance across to their child.

Situations like these are part of the reasoning behind parent­ to-parent and family-to-family ministry. There is a conviction that parents and families have much more to offer each other than they realize.

No two families are' exactly

For children Continued from page twelve The wind stopped. The waves fell back. The lake became calm.

The silver moon seemed to reach a shimmering calm finger out to the boat.

Why are you so terrified?"

Jesus asked his disciples. "Why are you lacking in faith?'"

'No one answered. They were awestruck by what had happen­ ed. They felt a little guilty not trusting Jesus. Most of all they were bewildered.

"Who can this be?" they said over and over to one another, "Who can this be that the wind and sea obey him?"

Josiah pondered that question all through the night.

: '"

alike, nor should they be. And families do require some privacy.

'But many people think that when more windows onto family life are opened, families will be amazed at, what they can provide each other in terms of support, compassion and genuine help in the task of learning to live as a family.

Parents Continued from page twelve can lead to a truer knowledge of God. What he calls the anniversary crisis usually occurs when a child reaches a point in life that was especially difficult years ago for one or both parents. At such times. parents often uncon­ sciously project their own fears onto the child.

When parents see what really is going on, not only will the child prosper, but the parents will be helped to work through' their unresolved trauma and be stronger for it.

Clearly, tension recurred for my husband and me each time one of our children graduated.

It was not until last year my husband recalled that his high school graduation had been in jeopardy because he had failed a final exam in Greek. He passed a makeup test and went on to college and graduate school.

Greek was forgotten - or so he thought.

Obviously, however, the feel· ings of uncertainty associated with his near failure remained.

When he read about the anni­ versary crisis, he realized that they surfaced whenever one of the children reached the point of graduation. Th.is was a liberating realization for him.

But what does it say about parenthood and God? First, I think it says that most of us come to parenthood still working through the stages of our own maturity. As a friend says, "Few children get grown­ ups for parents."

I think rearing children helps adults become firm, fair, living bearers of authority and tradi­ tion.

Children are in many ways our mirrors. We come to know our strengths, weaknesses and many hidden dimensions of our per­ sonalities through our children.

Sometimes what we see is not pleasant. Sometimes it hurts.

Hughes calls this undistorted . self-recognition a form of the spiritual dark night, one through which all parents must pass. He urges parents to see their child· ren and all the natural problems that occur in family life as sig­ nals, accompanied by grace, that challenge us, to new levels of conversion.

Christian parents can help each other to have faith during these dark nights, just as the Baptist minister helped me to see what was happening. during my daughter's graduation.

The help parents share, how­ ever, will not come from com· paring one family to another, or through searching for a correct family model. It will come wMn we tell each other our stories truthfully and humbly.

portswQtch A Cougar Is State Recordholder Jeff Palmer, Bishop Connolly High School's ace pitcher, has set a new state record for car­ eer wins in scholastic baseball with 36 victories, eclipsing the former record set in 1981 by Charley Marchese of Norton High School.

Over his four-year span on the mound for Connolly, Palmer completed 37 of the 52 games he started.. He was never re­ placed because of ineffective­ ness, only to give him a rest.

In 3Ot·-y, innings he was nick­ ed for 164 hits, gave up 111 runs, 75 of them earned, and compiled an impressive earned run average of only 1-73. He struck out 271 batters, gave up only 150 walks. He was charged with only nine losses and credit­ ed with two saves. ' Pitching 21 innings in his

freshman year, he won one and lost two and that was to be his only losing season. As a sopho­ more he posted .13 wins against two losses, a performance he re­ peated as a junior. This year, 9-2 as a senior, he became the new holder of the state record for career victories.

He was the winner in each of his three starts in post-season play, winning two in 1980, one in 1981.

Another Connolly senior, Dave Gauvin, has been making nation­ ai, headlines 'in amateur boxing.

He is now at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colo­ rado competing for a berth on the United States national team that will participate in the North American Championships Mon-, day through Saturday of next week in Las Vegas.

Hockomock Champions In spring Hockomock League sports Franklin High School with a 12-4 record won the baseball championship by only one game over runnerup Canton. Oliver Ames, 14-2, is the softball titlist while Sharon and Foxboro, 10-6, tied for second place.

Undefeated in 14 starts, Shar­ on was the winner of the boys' tennis crown with Stoughton, Jll·3, the runnerup. Also unde­ I~eated, 16-0, Stoughton won the girls' tennis championship.

Franklin and King Philip, each 14-4 tied for second place.

Each 8-0 Mansfield and No. Attleboro were the' winners of

the boys and girls, respectively, Spring track champions. No. At­ tleboro also was victorious in the girls all-league meet with 96, points, followed by Sharon 90, Oliver Ames 60, Mansfield 52, ' Canton 51, Foxboro 39, Stough­ ton 28, 'King Philip 14, Franklin 8.

BIRTHRIGHT

as 1940s private eye Rigby Rear­ don, cavorts with old-time stars thanks to some clever editing in this affectionate and moderately entertaining spoof. Martin is good throughout, Rachel Ward shows talent as his mysterious client, and Carl Reiner is amus­ ing as an Otto Preminger-style Nazi menace. Some sexually oriented jokes make this strictly mature material;' classified A3, PG. "The Escape Artist" (Warners): A teen-ager, trying to measure up to his 4ead father's reputa­ tion as a magician, puts his lock­ picking and wallet-lifting skills to good use in exposing a ring of corrupt politicians. The best thing about this off-beat adv~n­ ture story is Griffin O'Neal's pre­ cocious performance as the plucky youngster who beats an adult world at its own shady game'. Because of the threaten­ ing intensity of several scenes, it is rated A2, PG. "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (Can­ 1I10n): This adaptation of the D. H. Lawrence novel is an ex­ ercise in commericalized eroti-­ cism. Because of graphic sex, it is rated 0, R.
