Roche said the foremost task of the world's religions is to promote what he called a global ethic, advancing global cooperation as well as increased respect for one another as human beings, or there is little chance for true peace. Catholic publications must nourish the human spirit "with divine love" or they do not deserve to be called Catholic, Archbishop John P. Foley said June 6. He said that in a society "oblivious to the love of God," Catholic newspapers exist to proclaim good news with stories of heroism and of Christ-like love and sacrifice that offer "example and hope." The archbishop, president of the Pontifical Commission for Social Communications also spoke at a breakfast meeting of National Catholic News Service affiliates. There he told editors they have a "treasure" in NC News, calling it "one of the religious wonders of the world... NC News has shown the world the way to cover religious news." In a two-hour briefing, Archbishop Jan Schotte, general secretary ofthe world Synod of Bishops, discussed the 1985 extraordinary synod, backgrQund on the 1987 synod on the laity and his view of the relationship between the synod, and the, media. The media "playa major role in the mission of the church, 'particularly with regard tothe synod," he added. Adding color to the parley was the presence of, a . circus in an adjoining auditorium at the convention hotel. , Pat Kern, local convention chairwoman and news editor of-. The Catholic Times, newspaper of the Columbus diocese, said delivery of an altar for convention Masses was delayed because "18 elephants were in the way."
