'Pilgrim of difficult moments'

By NC News Service Less than 24 hours after Ar­ gentina revealed it had sent a message to Pope John Paul II urging a cease-fire in the Anglo­ Argentine war in the South At­ lantic, Britain announced an Argentine surrender in the dis­ puted Falkland Islands..

Britain said June 15 that Ar­ gentine troops had surrendered.

Argentina said an agreement had been reached for withdrawing its troops from the islands it had seized April 2. The British re­ ported that the Argentines had surrendered about 9 p.m. (Falk­ lands time) June 14 and that

some 14,800 prisoners had been taken and Would be returned to Argentina.

According to Archbishop Ubal­ do Calabresi, apostolic nuncio to Argentina, the cease-fire message from Argentine Presi­ dent Leopoldo GaItieri to Pope John Paul was a response to the -

.

pontiff's calIs for peace during his June 11-12 visit to Argentina.

In London, however, a Brit­ ish Foreign Office spokesman said GaItieri's message apparent­ ly presented no cpange" in the Argentine position on conditions for a cease-fire already rejected

by Great Britain.

Galtieri's message was de­

livered to the Vatican just one

day after the pope's return from

Argentina.

Rally

. By Pat McGowan with NC News reports A monster antinuclear rally held in conjunction with the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament: it was an idea whose time had come.

Unfortunately, that time was 3:30 a.m. last Saturday, the bleak hour at which Fall River participants scrambled out of bed to catch one of the 2,000 buses traveling from all parts of the country to what turned out to be the biggest protest demonstration in the nation's history. An estimated 750,000 persons participated.

Diocesan marchers included members of Holy Name and Sa­ cred Heart parishes, Fall River, and S1. Bernard's, Assonet. Arriv­ ing at a Queen's parking lot about 10 a.m. they found a mass­ ive organization in place, with everything preplanned, down to provision of subway tokens for the short ride from Queens into Manhattan. .Once at the parade route, the New England marchers joined a river of humanity that walked over 50 blocks from the United Nations complex to the peace rally site that sprawled over the Great Lawn of Central Park.

A small counterdemonstration at the UN mustered some 50 per­ sons shouting pronuclear senti­ ments, while alo.ng the march route a few banners echoed the theme. One man hung a large yellow streamer from his Central Park West luxury apartment.

"Dupes" was its one-word message.

• God IS SACRAMENTO, Calif. (NC-­ "The best way Jesus Christ could describe the indescribable God was to call him 'Abba,' Father, or better 'Daddy,'" said Bishop Francis A. Quinn of Sac­ ramento.

"Jesus could think of no more loving relationship," Bishop Quinn said in a Father's Day column in the 'Catholic Herald, Sacramento diocesan newspaper.

"I am a celibate:" the bishop wrote. "I do not know what it means to have children of my own."

On the other hand," he noted, '~few people on earth know the experience of a priest with an entire parish community looking

'Daddy'

up to him as sons and daughters."

Among the bishop's observa­ tions about fathers: - "The greatest gift a father can give to his children is' the love he shows to their mother - the love he clearly shows."

- "The most accurate predic­ tor of religious and moral con­ duct on the part of children is the religious and moral behavior .of their father."

- "A father provides an ex­ ample of strength, fairness, sta­ bility, discipline, 'but the strong­ est thing a man can do is to be gentle.' Strength is not· to be confused with machismo or ag­ gressiveness. Sons and daugh­ ters will best be served by their

father if they see in him com­ passion as well as justice and courage."

- "Fatherhood should be open to failure. Weakness and human failures, honestly dealt with, are often the most effect­ ive sources of love and learning in the children."

- "The deepest regret of fathers is that they did not spend more quality time with their children when they were young."

- "A father must hear, not simply listen to, what his child is saying."

- "Children will be what their fathers are, not how their fathers lecture them.

WASHINGTON o(NC) - More people in the United States and Ireland - 95 percent - believe in God than do people in 14 other" countries questioned in a major international survey. And Americans more than any other nationality rated God as of the highest importance in their lives, the survey found.

The survey "is one of the most comprehensive and ambitious !;tudies ever undertaken of hu­ man values," said Edward M. Sullivan, director of research of the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, a Catholic re­ search organization based in Washington.

The center conducted the sur­ vey in the United States and Canada in cooperation with the Gallup Organization.

European countries studied were Great Britain, France, West Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, " Belgium, Italy, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Den­ mark, Sweden and Finland. Non­ . Eur9pean countries were Japan, South Africa and South Korea, although the Korean study was so recent that data are not yet available. Plans are underway to extend the project to Latin­ America.

The" Gallup Organization con­ ducted the fieldwork, which in­ cluded hour-long face-to-face in­ terviews with a scientifically selected sample of at least 1,200 persons in each country.

Among study findings: - The Americans and Irish believe in God - 95 percent ­ more than any of the Qther coun­ tries. Belief in God was 75 per­ cent overall in Europe, dropping tum to Page Six

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (NC) - In a joint letter 123 Dutch Reformed ministers have called' for an end to apartheid in South Africa, declaring ithat a social order built on race separation "is unacceptable" and "cannot be defended scripturaly." Afrikaners, aimost all of 'whom are members of the iDutch Reformed Church, make up 60 percent of the white minority population in Soutp Africa and _dominate the country's ruling National ·Party. Signers of the . letter called for abolition ofa number of ~aws, including the ban on interracial mantiage and the Group Areas Act, which bar people of different races from Hving in the same neighborhood. The 'Catholic Church has long opposed apartheid in South Africa.

Guatemala, which said there was "insufficient evidence" to find

them guilty. Last January, when the three were convicted by a court

WASHINGTON (NC)--PubIication by the-Senate Judiciary Com­ mittee of its repol"t on the Hatch amendment on abortion has been hailled hy the director of the U.S. bishop's Committee for Pro-Life Activities. The director, Father Edward 'Bryce, said that the report "marks another significant step toward reversal of the Supreme Court's tragic abortion rulings of 1973." The report provides a rationale for the committee's decision to send the measure to the fuU Senate for consideration. The tHatch amendment, !introduced ~ast year by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), denies that ,there is aright to abortion in the Constitu,tion and allows federal and state govern­ ments to reimpose abortion restrictions.

Lally urged instead a "comprehensive approach" to the problems of violence, including elimination of social inequities, implementation of effective rehabilitation pro­ grams, greater assistance to the viotims of violent crime and gun control. "While ,the prevalence of violent crime in our society under­ scores the need for effective measures to prevent crtim~ . . . we be­ lieve that effective and humane alternatives can be developed with­ out resorving to such practices as capital punishment," he said.

Charismatics seek renewal NOTRE DAME, Ind. (NC) ­ Charismatic Catholics from 10 nations who recently met for the National Conference on the Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church discussed ways the earth can be renewed through them and the works of the Holy Spirit.

"I really believe God is re­ newing the renewal," said Jack Brombach to the gathering of some 13,000 persons at the Uni­ versity of Notre Dame.

Brombach, a member of the National Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renew­ al, said that "God wants to let us know he's alive. God wants to renew the face of the earth."

Bishop William McManus of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Ind., who read greetings from Pope John Paul II, told conference participants that prayer is what charismatics do best.

No matter what stresses or problems develop, charismatics keep on praying, the bishop said.

Lebanon, A Matter of Survival Once again the people of Lebanon fall victim to the madness of warfare. Once again, the soil of Lebanon is . soaked by the blood of its people. Once again the cedars . of Lebanon are stripped of their brancHes. Consider the cumulation of horrors that has been the recent history of that supposedly sovereign and independent nation. In the mid-s'eventies Lebanon was devastated by ~ivil war, that most agonizing form of strife.

From that time to the present, the Lebanese have endured constant invasion and harassment. The dispersed . Palestinians, themselves forced to flee from their land and homes, moved into Lebanon. Then, to protect the country from other intrusions and keep the so-called peace, Syria introduced a self-styled Arab security force.

Now the Israeli invasion has visited upon the innocent .an anguish and terror yet to be realized in all its dimensions.

The action of Israel was anticipated by the interna­ tional community, yet not a voice nor, in some cases, even an Arab cry was heard as ve~geance played out its tragic · role. The pleas of the few who dared criticize Israel went unheard amid the thunaer of shells and bombs.

Indeed, those declaring that Israel should abide by the provisions of the United Nations Charter concerning inde­ pendent states were immediately labeled anti-Semitic. It is heartbreaking. to note that Israel, a nation that has been a place of refuge for s6 many, has been the major factor in creating, new refugees and displaced persons in the Middle East. ' It is now more than imperative that the world com­ munity should hear Lebanon's pleas for true· nationhood..

All' are aware that Leban9n, since gaining independence from the old Ottoman/Turkish Empire in ·1920, has been

caught up il1 its unique internal problems. Ye~ this is no

exc4se for "'reduCirig' it ~o a' pro~ing 'kround'. modeni

· warfare. The' iand is parched and' exhausted. Lebanon

. needs peace.

But peace cannot be a reality until all invaders, be they PLO, Syrian or Israeli, leave the land. Their withdrawal of all belligerents 'should· be monitored by the United Nations, with the United States an.d Russia maintaining a hands-off policy. Both superpowers have already meddled enough in Mideast concerns. .

It should also be obvious that the Palestinian refugees must have a land they can call their own. The Arab and Jewish nations of the area should come to some reasonable and just settlement of this issue. Israel has been recognized, as an independent state by the world community. The · Palestinians should be accorded the same status. Israel's tactics of the past few.... d~ys will not eliminate the PLO. At 'best, they are but delaying tactics. Let no one be so ·naive as to think 'that the PLO will not regroup.

Because the Israeli invasion is not the end of a conflict but only another development of hostilities, the future of Lebanon is indeed uncertain. If the status' quo is tolerated by the international community, then her very existence as a nation is in doubt.

If, however, the world community is as appalled by the suffering of the Lebanese as it was by the horrors of Dachau and Auschwitz, then perhaps man will ~e spared yet another holocaust; perhaps the Lebanese will survive 'this attempted genocide; perhaps Lebanon, de facto, will not cease to exist.

"Fix it, Daddy," she intpnes righteously at 10 after coming out loser in a knock-down drag­ out battle with her stupid, tyran­ nical and absolutely impossible brother.

"Fix it, Daddy;" she pleads at 12 in the first of many struggles with her mother over whether she's old enough to wear eye shadow.

"Fix it, Dad," she sobs at 14, when her image hits rock bottom because she didn't make the cheerleading squad.

Father's Day

The other day at the pub­ lic library I was surprised to see how many young men were there with their child­ dren, browsing in the children's reading room.

Over the past several years, I have noticed far more young men actively involved in taking care of their children, especially men under the age of 30. It has become a common experience, in fact, at the university where I worked until a few months ago, to see young fathers with babies or toddlers in the lunch room or walking about on cam­ pus.

This increasingly common phenomenon leads me to think there ,is a real change taking place in the role of men in the United States. Due at least in part to the women's movement, men today are more willing to re-examine their role as fathers and nurturers. And more men today are able to be tender with their children.

The experience of my son, John, 30, may be typical of many men of his generation. His first baby was born in January. My son was in the labor and delivery rooms.

John 'intends to keep on being intimately involved in the care of his child. He is a furniture maker and has gone to consider­ able expense to install 'air puri­ 'fying equipment in his work­ shop. He wanted to make sure the air was as clean as possible so he can care for his child, at least part time, in the workshop when his wife goes back to work. .

Another indication of the revo­ lution that is taking place among men can be seen by looking at divorce records. In many com­ munities, it is no longer taken for granted that the mother will receive custody of the children after a divorce.

Today, in a surprising number of cases, the father is asking for custody and even fighting in

court for the privilege of caring for J:tis children. A new name, "Kramerism," has been coined to cover these' cases. The name is a direct outgrowth of the pop­ ular book and movie, '~Kramer vs. Kramer," which dealt so beautifully with the theme of a father learning to know and love his son when he was forced to take over the role of a single fuIltime parent.

Not long 'ago, I happened across some research on the "empty nest" syndrome which shows what sometimes happens when fathers have not been so personally involved in the day­

to-day care of their children.

The research stated that more men than women today are ex­ periencing the "empty nest" syn­ drome but that they are affected in a way different from women when their children grow up and leave home. The women feel a sort of emptiness when their fulltime parenting is over; but the fathers are looking back with regret, wishing they had spent more time with their children while they were growing up. The report indicated that many fathers seemed to have a vague sense they had missed out on something important and wished they had done things differently when they had the chance.

Perhaps in years to come, as men interact more closely with their children, they won't feel so devastated when the youngsters leave. , This Father's, Day, we might spend some time reflecting on the c~anging rol~ of fathers in our so~iety., ',' .

At the Vatican, Ronald Reagan met a fellow a'ctor who preceded him to Eng­ land.

The president and Pope John Paul II are old fashioned men who expound creeds much of the world finds outworn. Both have evidence that people who find their views unworkable or im­ possible nonetheless entirely ap. prove of them as human beings.

Another trait they have in com­ mon is their belief that they can personally beguile vast numbers of people. as well as a faith in themselves that armors them in confrontation with hostile opin­ ion. Both have exceptional gifts of projection, timing and deliv­ ery. The pontiff gave a perform­ ance on his tour of Britain that suggest,s that his gifts border on the supernatural.

His conquest of the English seemed to be as definitive as the Roman invasion in Caesar's time.

He set an example to Reagan of how tact, flair and charm can melt distrust and disdain.

The auguries for the first papal visit were so unpromising that the pope considered cancellation.

Many stories about the commer. ,cial exploitation .of the visit seemed destined to raise British hackles, never entirely level since the time of Henry VIII. More i~mediately, the bitter fighting in the Falkland Islands was reaching a climax and the British press, not to mention the British people, were in the grip of a vvar fever that threatened to burn up the Thames.

The demonstrations were of no consequence. The pope's ser· mons to his own flock repeat. ing his strictures against con· traceptives, divorce and abortion were received without comment.

His plea for prayers for all who were suffering and dying in the South Atlantic was met with cheers.

He showed Ronald Reagan how it can be done. ,Like Ronald Reagan, the pope can look at the numbers and see that in the world's esteem he fares better than his cause. The Catholic Church is in decline in almost every country except his native Poland.

According to the New York Times, the shortage of priests in the United States is about to reach "crisis proportions." The number of seminarians has de· clined by half.

In Italy, despite the pope's ve­ hement ,opposition, the citizens of an overwhelmingly Catholic country voted 2-to-l in favor of retaining a law permitting abor· tion.

The Roman Catholic clergy have moved steadily to the left since Vatican II. In many coun· tries, particularly in Latin Am· erica, they have been in the van· guard of protest and reform.

Continued from page one , - "A father is a husband al­ so. He must always nourish a 'private and personal relationship with his wife." . , Bishop Quinn quoted a, young father writing in the Christo­ pher News Notes: "All evidence of love is important, but there is no substitute for the direct express.ion of love in cuddling and embracing a child.

"I never fully understood what James Joyce meant when he wrote, 'I desire to press in my arms the loveliness which has not yet come into the world,' ur­ til I sat cradling my newborn son in my arms:"

Dear Editor: I would publicly like to ex­ press my thanks and gratitude to Father McCarrick, administrator of St. John's Cemetery, Fall River, for the work he has ac­ complished in the cemetery in the short time since he assumed this responsibility.

For those of us who have fam­ ily interred at this cemetery, to see it in such an orderly and dignified condition at Memorial Day is gra~ifying.

He is a man of his word, and my 'family join me in expressing 'this gratitude.

FATHER ROBERT Mc­ DONNELL, CSC, pastor of ,Holy Cross Church; South Easton, marked his silver jubilee of ordination on June 6. Born in Monongah, W. Va., he served in the.

U.S. Navy during' World War II, then earned a bach­ elor's degree in engineerjng at. the University of West Virginia. He entered the Holy ,Cross community in 1951 'and was ordained in . 1~57 in Bndgeport, CT: '. He taught on the high school level, was a member and .then superior of the.

Holy Cross Eastern Province Mission Band and was named assistant provincial of his community before his appointment to Holy Cross parish in 1980.

Father McDonnell offered a Mass of thanksgiving last Sunday at Holy Cross. On Tuesday some 150 priests and brothers of the Eastern Province of the community met at the parish for a joint celebration with him and 11 other members of his ordi­ nation class.

Pilgrim Continued from page one Toledo, Argentina's ambassador to the Holy See, and released by the Argentinian embassy to the Vatican.

Galtieri, recalling Pope John Paul's urgent pleas for peace during his Argentinian visit, said, "The Argentine government wel­ comes with respect, gratitude and approval the hopes expressed by the head of the church and, agreeing with him, declares its most frank willingness to seek and to consider any initiative that can bring about a satisfactory and definitive solution to the conflict provoked."

"In that framework," the mess­ age continued, "Argentina con­ firms its support of the efforts carried out by the United Na­ tions to arrive at a fair settle­ ment of the question and con­ tinues to be willing to accept an

immediate cease-fire, followed

by a quick and mutual with­ drawal of the forces.

"This would be an indispen­ sable move for the establishment of an 'honorable and just peace' and one that 'goes beyond the silence of arms,' as the message of Your Holiness longed for," Galtieri added.

The phrase quoted by Galtieri referred to a definition of peace given by the pope during an ad­ dress in Argentina.

The pope's Argentine trip, however, was more than a call to end the Anglo-Argentine con­ flict.' It was a' plea to world leaders to avoid all wars and go to the negotiating table, where victories are not measured in •human lives.

"I am coming here as the pil­ grim of difficult moments," the pope said at the Marian Shrine of Our Lady of Lujan, the na­ tion's most popular religious site, located about 35 miles from Buenos Aires. He told people to turn to Mary for comfort and as an intercessor for peace.

The pope returned from his 30­ hour visit to Argentina with re­ newed calls for peace' in an­ other world trouble spot, Leb­ anon. He said he was ready to go there if it would bring peace.

"People are not called' to fight and destroy each other, but to understand each other and agree to live peacefully," the pope said Sunday in an Angelus talk before some 30,000 people in St. Peter's Square.

Then, on Tuesday, only 45 hours after his return from Ar­ gentina, the pope flew to Swit­ zerland for a 12-hour visit and a plea for the right of workers to join unions.

Telling 1,800 delegates. at the International Labor Organiza­ tion's annual conference that the freedom of workers to organize is a fundamental human right, the .pontiff said that "it is severe­ ly threatened, often fl.outed."

To his address to the ILO, con­ demning unemployment and de­ fending establishment of such free trade unions as the now-re­ pressed S'olidarity union in Po­ land, the pope used the word "solidarity" 51 times.

"Transcending systems, re­ gimes and ideologies trying to regulate social relations I have proposed a way, a way of solid-

Rally

Continued from p~ge one rection. Weather contributed to a festive atmosphere as did the rare sight of Manhattan streets devoid of all traffic but marchers.

Bands, dancing groups and many banners that qualified as works of art lifted the scene to beauty as did thousands of young marchers such as an ex­ uberant gro).lp of Quebecois who brought their message in French, chanting again' and again: "Nu- ' cleaire, n011 mercH" There were poignant signs: "My babies sent me," one man's read. And cheerful ones like a scrawled message taped to a drugstore wall: "We have to work, but we are with you." . Catholic participants in the march included Sisters' of Mercy, members of Pax Christi, an inter- ,. national Catholic peace movement, Benedictines· and Domini­ cans as weiI as many priests and i sisters not identified by organization or diocese.

Some 30 Holy Union Sisters, eight of them from Fall River - and Taunton, marched. They car­ ried a spectacular banner sent by community"members in France and Belgium "who wanted to share the day with us," said Sister Ann Marie Philips of St. James Convent,' Nanaquakett, R.!. She said the banner, read· ing '''Oui a lil vie" (Yes to life), attracted wide attention along the march route.

New York City assigned 5,000 police to the rally, the largest contingent ever to cover a single city event, but most had little to do except give directions to out of towners.

ous. As well as showing the" world what grassroots America thinks about the nuclear arms race, people had a plain good time.

For Catholics, however, the day did not end with the Cen­ tral Park program that included speakers Coretta Scott King, Dr. Helen Caldicott, Father Robert Drinan, SJ, Barry Commoner and William Sloan Coffin; and enter­ 'tainers Jackson Browne, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger.

Some 2,000 gathered on Satur­ day night at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle for Mass and a disarmament assembly, described as magnificent' by Sister Ann Marie.

With a standing 'ovation the group, which included three Catholic. bishops, approved a statement endorsing the use of civil,disobedience in the strug­ gle for peace and justice.

"Catholics should be clear that hon-violent' actions ~ndertaken outside the boundaries of civil law have a uniqu!,! place in U.S. history," the statement said.

While such acts might disturb some notions of law and order, they were appropriate "when prayerfully discerned and re­ sponsibly undertaken," the state­ ment added.

The assembly was organized by the New York chapter of Pax Christi. It began with testimonies from 12 sectors of the Catholic community.

Then, following adoption of the assembly statement endors­ ing civil disobedience, Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of

Detroit, with Bishop Walter Sul­ livan of Richmond, Va., and Auxiliary Bishop P. Francis Murphy of Baltimore, celebrated the Eucharist for the feast of Corpus Christi.

Bishop Gumbleton, national president of Pax Christi, said in concluding remarks that the ser­ vice brought participants the "something more" they would n~ed in taking up the disarma­ ment cause.

The occasion came two days later, when more than 1,300 demonstrators, many represent­ ing church groups, were arrested for blockading entrances to the UN missions of five nuclear powers. .

The demonstrators said their purpose was to "stop business as usual" at the missions, which house the various nations' repre­ sentatives to the United Nations.

Jeff Smith.. a spokesman for the "June 14 Civil Disobedience Campaign," told a news confer­ ence following the blockades that people from religious groups were among the first arrested.

Most were quickly released, to appear in court at a later date.

Papal Message Last week, a day before the Manhattan rally, Pope John Paul II had told the UN Special Sess­ ion members that "peace is pos­ sible" but requires resolution of a pervasive world "ethical crisis."

"And because peace is possible, peac~ is our duty, our grave duty, our supreme responsi­ bility," the pope said in a mess­ age read to the assembiy for him on June 11 by Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, his secretary of state.

St. Anne executives at CHA parley Sister Mary Patricia Sullivan, OP, president of St. Anne's Hos­ pital ,Corporation, Fall River, Sister Madeleine Clemence Vail­ lot, corporation clerk, and Alan D. Knight, the hospital's execu­ tive director, were among 1,200' hospital and nursing home ad­ ministrators at the 11 th annual Catholic Health Assembly, held last week in Boston.

They heard Father Wa'lter Burghardt, SJ, theologian in resi­ dence at Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., declare that Catholic health care ministry means treating the whole person, not just the body or just the soul.

He said that Catholic hospitals must "retain a sense of under­ standing and wonder" in their ministry.

John E. Curley Jr., Catholic Health Association president, an­ nounced the beginning of a CHA study aimed at developing an ethical code governing with­ drawal or withholding of medi­ cal treatment at all stages of life from conception to old age.

In his address Father Burg­ hardt said health care workers must learn to listen, understand­ ing each individual's history and accepting their own brokenness.

"Jesus understood not because he was the Son of God but be­ cause he was exquisitely human," he said. "Like Christ, you are a wounded healer."

Curley told Catholic hospital administrators that "ours is a challenging future but hope-fill­ ed ... We have seen wonderful creative developments occuring in our membership and a new spirit of understanding that Cath­ olic health care is so unique, so valuable, it cannot be allowed to . falter.

Better than gold UTILE ROCK, Ark. (NC) ­ Mother Teresa of Calcutta, foundress of the Missionaries of Charity, visited a home for preg­ nant unmarried women here after receivi,ng a letter from the own­ ers requesting aid, and announced she would send four nuns to help staff the facility.

During an early June visit to Little Rock, Mother Teresa spent two and a half hours inspecting Abba House, a year-old shelter founded by Jim and Pat Grabher ,in a personal effort to provide medical care and financial assis­ tance 'to young unmarried wo­

men considering abortion.

From the second-floor balcony of the IS-room, three-story white frame building, Mother Teresa announced to a crowd of about 500 who stood outside the house

and prayed the rosary, "I have no gold or silver to give you, but I give you my sisters."

The house has been without residents since January for lack of proper staffing.' Arkansas state laws require that an adult be with the girls at all times, a' requirement which the Grabhers say is more than they alone can handle. Their attempt to obtain a housemother was unsuccessful.

The Grabhers', who live next door to' Abba House, have a 10­ year-old son and two daughters, 4, and 11 months.

"You, more than any other ministry, are most like Christ.

You care not for mostly Cath­ olics but for all who are wound­ ed and hurting. You are abso. lutely essential to the church.

You are absolutely essential to the people you care for and to the millions more who will never see you or enter your institutions but whose health care has been shaped by your presence."

To be truly "Catholic" the Catholic hospital must promote holiness for patients and staff, according to Auxiliary Bishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk of Cincin. nati. ' The hospital's message, he said, should be: "We reach out to your pain and your suffering.

We want to help make it go away but at the same time we want to help you understand its meaning and relate it to the Lord.

We want to make this critical juncture in your life an experi~ ence of learning and growing in the Lord.

"You don't have to hand out catechisms to all your patients but you are called to teach them about themselves and by impli­ cation at least about God through the manner in which you deal with their illness," added the bishop.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., June 18, 1982

'The church should be one'

By Father Kenneth J. Boyle VATICAN CITY (NC) _ "The average Catholic senses that the church of Christ should be one and is upset that it is not," said a U.S. Scripture scholar.

Msgr. Jerome Quinn, a participant in the International Theafogical Congress on Pneumatology (the study of the Holy Spirit), said the man in the pew has a sta,ke in the congress' discussions, despite its formidable title.

"-Every week Roman Catholics say in the Creed that they beHeve in Ithe Holy Spiri,t 'who proceeds from the Father and the Son,' " said the 55-year-old Msgr.

Quinn, who teaches, at St. Paul's Seminary in St. Paul, Minn.

"But there are' hundreds of thousands of Christians," he continued, referring to the Ortho- c.,. dox, "for whom such an express- , ion of faith has been troublesome for centuries."

The Orthodox refer, instead, to the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father alone.

This historical difference, said Msgr. Quinn, is one reason the theological congress was called 'last month at the express wish of Pope John Paul II. .

Explaining the difference in theological outlook and termin­ ology, Msgr. Quinn said: "His­ torically the' Orthodox have been concerned with preserving what is called the 'divine monarchy' within the Trinity, that is the absolute 'underived' role of the Father!" , "The Western church, on the other hand,'" he continued, re­ ferring to the Catholic Church, "has continually emphasized that the Holy Spirit comes as a result of the actions of Christ."

The unfortunate thing, said the Ameri~an scholar, is that this difference in theological em­ phasis has been one of the things 'which has separated these tWQ ~ranches of Christendom for centuries.

"So theologians have now come together to discuss these perspectives," said Msgr. Quinn, "and, to tell you the truth, I'm surprised and pleased at the growing convergence of theological thought on the persons of the Trinity."

Msgr. Quinn said the congress marks a "real step on the road to reunion" between the East and West. He foresees now an increased enthusiasm for con­ tinued theological discussion.

"The pope told the partici. pants when he spoke to us that he wants us to go home and to continue to talk with each other and especially to involve our people in the discussions," said Msgr. Quinn.

Pope John 'Paul, Msgr. Quinn believes, has shown a lively in­ terest in East-West reunion and is in a unique position to con­ tribute to it because of his East­ ern European origins.

When Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox theologians meet at the level of the Rome congress, said Msgr. Quinn, "that's a rna­ jor step forward in terms of re- , union."

And the av~rage Catholic, he continued, is pleased by such steps. !'For some reason," Msgr.

Quinn said, "most Catholic lay people I meet are more interest­ ed in ecumenism than most priests. And most bishops are more interested than most priests. I don't really know why that is - maybe because priests deal with a lot of controversy in their daily routine, and, they don't want to take on any more."

"But whatever .the reason, I think we're back to the old doc­ trine of trusting the 'sensus fid· elium' (consensus of the faith­ ful)."

"The average 'Catholic," said the priest-scholar, "has the deep feeling that Christians should all be one family and that he'd be a lot more credible to the rest of the world if we were."

Church has the answer ~URIN, Italy (NC)-If a child is not medically capable of di­ gesting the wheat-flour host, how should he receive first Com­ munion?

That was if:he question posed recently to Cardinal Anastasio BaHestrero of Turin by the ital­ ian Association for Celiac Chilo dren, an organiza;tion deaHng with the problems of youngsters who cannot digest glutens, the plant proteins found in many cereal grains, especially wheat.

The answer, said the cardinal through an archdiocesan spokes­ man, lies not in hosts made from corn or rice, but in a sip of con­ secrated wine.

"Our children cannot tolerate

glutens," said Mario Taddei,

president of the association, in

a 'letter to Cardinal Ballestrero.

"This iHness requires the abso­ :lute suspension of all foods with glutens (pasta, bread, etc.), in-, eluding the hosts normally used in churches," the letter added.

The archdiocesan reply came

through Fll;ther Aldo Marengo, "director of the liturgy office.

"In such cases, instead of ,the host a UttIe consecrated wine can be offered to the communi­ cants while pronouncing the words, 'body and blood of Christ,'" Father Marengo said.

"Bread of corn or rice, however, is not permitted."

Celiac disease, which can cause severe intestinal problems and nutritional disorders, is not unusual among children one to two years old. Usually it dis­ appears within a few months to a year, but in some cases persists up to and past the age for first Communion.

Chairperson Assistant Professor Edward S. Vaughn Jr., has been named chairperson of the business ad­ ministration department of Stonehill College. He will serve for three years. ..

When skies are gray

By Katherine Bird

Gradually she began to lose her usual zest for life.

Her teen-age children paid at­ tention to her only when she de. manded it.

At age 39 she had moved to a new city' when her husband was transferred. He had interest­ ing work with congenial associ­ ates' but she felt uprooted and a little resentful at being forced to find new friends.

She registered at the local par­ ish but here too she was vague· Iy disappointed. She felt God was far away and not very in­ terested in her. .

After' a while, her husband. noticed she was putting on

weight and had given up garden­ ing, something she had loved.

He also noticed she was reacting strongly to problems she former­ ly had handled with ease.

On another occasion, while up­ braiding their son fo~ a trivial offense, she launched into a long litany of his wrongdoings, reach­ ing back to his early childhood.

This too was unlike her.

By Neil Parent

Our family knows a widowed mother of two teen-agers who moved several years ago from a large city to rural New England, saying she was tired of the fast pace and pressures of urban liv­ ing.

She wanted a lifestyle allowing her and her children to spend more time together and to enjoy such pleasures as a walk in the woods.

She also felt that urban living posed problems for the" Christian upbringing of, her children. She wanted a less matrialistic, com­ petitive and violent environment for them.

Many of us' can identify with her. Perhaps we too have thought about leaving opr pres­ ent haried life behind and start­ ing afresh somewhere 'else, where things are simple~, quieter.

Modern life is filled with pres­ sures: - The variety of options open to us. We are faced with a host of decisions that can have major consequences for' us' and for our children. For example, it used to be that after finishing school, one took the first .available job.

Father Morrison explained that pressure surrounds people throughout their' lives, some­ times marking the transition from one age to another, some­ times caused by transitions from one school to another, from school to work, from one state of life to another.

In addition, Father Morrison thinks people experience a gen­ eralized pressure from society.

In some countries, the' pressure is to join in a competitive and achievement-oriented way of life.

Such overrideing stress affects people from childhood on, begin­ ning at home and spilling over in school and at work, he added.

People can't avoid all pressure, of course, and Father Morrison notes that it is "essential for growth. We need the force of pressure to drag us up from point A to point B." For .instance, he continued, the woman described above might muddle for a time, vaguely dis­ satisfied.

Then something quite specific may happen - possibly the ill­ ness or death of a parent or close friend - shaking her into the recognition that "her present is not very satisfying - and the future looks worse."

The woman may then seek to change her life, reaching out to others for help.

At this point, according to Father Morrison, it is critical for people to gain perspective on what is happening. Normally, he said, people do this by talk-

ing over how they are feeling with other persons - with their spouse, a neighbor, a relative.

Therefore, iildividuals need some kind of support system.

Father Morrison said par.ishes have had a lot of success in pro­ viding support by putting to­ gether people who are going through similar crises.

In a group where members "have as much likeness as possi­ ble," trust can be built more easily, he concluded.

Teresa Continued from page twelve "conversation between friends."

After 20 years in the convent, she experienced what she calls a "second conversion" which led her to seek a more perfect life of prayer and contemplation.

Thereafter, 'her rapid advance in the spiritual life as well as her forceful personality made her a natural reformer of religious life.

Beginning in 1562, she worked untiringly against strenuous ob­ jections to found reformed Car­ melite convents all over Spain.

By the time of her death in 1582, Teresa had founded more than 16 convents where Carmelite sisters pursued lives of mystical prayer in simplicity and poverty.

Contemporary Carmelite mon­ asteries are direct spiritual des­ cendents of those reformed con­ vents founded by Teresa.

Historians and writers have been intrigued by the pithy and forthright character of Teresa.

Despite the seriousness of her life and the intensity of her work, she was humorous and down-to-earth.

Once, when bucked from a mule she was riding, she cried out, "Lord, if this .is how you treat your servants, it is no won­ der you have so few!"

She once. wrote about self~ styled saints who frightened her "more than all of the sinners I have ever met."

Despite lack of formal educa­ tion, Teresa was an energetic and original writer. In addition to her autobiography, she wrote such masterpieces as "The Way of Perfection" in 1565 and "The Interior Castle" in 1577.

Next year the 400th anniver­ sary of Teresa of Avila's death will be celebrated. She is a wo­ man whose intense interior life and whose writings led Pope Paul vi to name her a doctor of the church.

This elite list contains only one other woman, St. Catherine of Siena. .

Continued from page twelve But Jesus touched Jairus on the shoulder. "Fear is useless," said Jesus. "What is needed is trust."

In a few moments they reach­ ed the house of Jairus. Jesus heard cries from the mourners inside. He went in and said "Why do you make this noise?

The child is not dead. She is asleep."

The mourners scoffed. They were quite sure the girl was dead. But Jairus and his .wife then took Jesus into their daugh­ ter's room. Jairus began to cry loudly when he saw the still body of his daughter. His wife wept softly.

Jesus went over to the bed.

Feasting .and· Continued from page .twelve joy. Fasting would be out of place.

But there is more to Jesus' an­ swer. It points to his identity.

The wedding feast was a fami­ liar image for the reign of God. It would suggest to those with ears to hear that the reign had dawned with Jesus.

Even more, the allusion to him­ self as the groom would have re­ called the Old Testament pass­ ages in which Yahweh (God) himself was portrayed as the groom who wanted to be re­ united with his faithless bride, Israel. Certainly, Mark's Christ­ ian readers would have under­ stood the words that way.

However, in verse 20, the an­ alogy is broken.

Jesus and his apostles might, not have fasted, but the early Christians did. Why? Mark seems to tell us something about that now. . When a wedding feast was fin­ ished, the groom was not "taken away" from his guests. But the early Christians felt as though that had happened. For them. the real wedding feast would take place at the time of the

f~sting

second coming of Jesus. In the meantime, they fasted in antici­ pation of his return.

For the reader, this part of the account brings the cross into focus once more - a recurrent theme for Mark.

Finally, two little parables are told - - one about a patch on an old cloak, the other about new wine in old wineskins. The secorid'is very familiar: "No man pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does so, the wine will burst the skins and both wine and skins will be lost.

No, new wine is poured into new skins."

The parables were added to bring out the general principle implicit in the fasting contro­ versy.

They do not deny the contin­ uity of the new order of things with the old. Concern is express­ ed for the old cloak and the old .wineskins. But they indicate that Jesus' spirit of religion calls not just for' a patch-up job, but for complete renovation.

So powerful is this spirit that the old forms cannot contain it.

New wine. must be poured into new skins.

IN MAS$ACHUSET'TS,

HAZARDO,US WASTE HAS ONLYONE PLACE TO GO.

/

--

It adds up to 25 gallons for every person in Massachusetts.

Every year. It's poisoned ~ells and water supplies in 29 communities.

And it threatens every city and town. It's hazardous waste.

Where does it aU come mun?'

From just about every business , ' large and small. BecauSe hazardous waste is part of making the products most ofus use every day. Industry , in Plymouth and Bristol counties alone generates over 5 million gal­ lons ofhazardous waste every year.

Hazardous waste doesn't mean nuclear waste. It means subst~ces that are potentially dangerous be­ cause they're toxic, corrosive or flammable. ' Where does it sll go?

Right now, Massachusetts has a few treatment plants. And some companies have their own facilities to safely dispose oftheir hazardous waste. Some hazardous waste is shipped out ofstate. But the cost involved is high.

The rest is dumped illegally.

By the side ofa road. DoWn a sewer. mtoaprookora~r~. ' _ But that doesn't make it go away. Hazardous waste can travel ' for miles. Contaminate the earth.

And poison the water w~ drink.

In Rehoboth, Dighton, West~ port and Dartmouth water supplies have already been poisoned by the illegal or improper disposal oftoxic chemicals. Dighton and Dartmouth have had to purchase water from other communities and fmd new sources. And they've also had to pay the high cost ofclean up and laboratory testing.

On top ofall this, PCB's (known to ~use cancer in laboratory

HAZARDOUS WASTE~ IT'S ONLY

, animals) have been dumped into the Acushnet River for years.

What's the solution? , Part ofthe solution is to create 'less hazardous waste to begin with.

And to recycle as much as we can.

But the big problem is how to dis­ pose ofthe rest. Right now the best alternative is to build safe hazardous waste ,treatment plants.

The idea may make you ner­ vous at first. But the technology is well established, and plants have been operating for years in Den­ mark, Germany and other parts of the U.S. , Natura11~ any hazardous waSte treatment plant has to be properly built and maintained. And that's why Massachusetts passed the Haz­ ardous Waste Management Act in 1979 and the Hazardous Waste Facilities Siting Act in 1980. Both are tough on developers. And the Siting Act gives communiti~ strict control over plant development and operation. And complete involve­ ~ent in the siting proceSs. Hazardous waste treatment plants are a reasonable alternative to the illegal dumping going on now.

That's why businesses are for them.

Government is for them. Environ­ mentalists are for them.

And the best thing you can do is to learn all you can.
