Bishop Blesses Capetip Fleet

High Court Aids Church Schools

Citing the example of newlycanonized St. John Neumann, Bishop Cronin urged men of the Provincetown fishing fleet to attain salvation and sanctification by doing ordinary tasks of life in a holy and dedicated manner.

Delivering the homily at a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Peter the Apostle Church in Provincetown before the 30th Annual Blessing of the Fleet last Sunday, the Ordinary invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon the fishermen gathered for the Mass.

Men called by Almighty God since the last celebration were honored, with the Bishop calling upon all present to commend to God's mercy the souls of Capt. Frank Motta, and Capt.

William King and the crew of the "Patricia Marie."

Assisting' Bishop Cronin at the Mass were Father John C. Martins, Administrator, and Father Michael' Nagle, associate pastor of Saint Peter's, together with other concelebrants. Lector was Todd Motta, son of the late Capt. Frank Motta, who had long been associated with the annual celebration of the Fisherman's Mass and Blessing of the Fleet. Fishermen were acolytes, bearers of the gifts and crossbearer.

Following the Mass, a procession went through the streets of Provincetown to the wharf for the blessing ceremony. Assisted by Msgr. Henry T. Munroe and Father Martins, Bishop Ct:onin blessed over 100 vessels, Turn to Page Two

For the immediate future, Father George Coleman, director of education for the Fall River diocese, sees no change in bene路 fits available to parochial school children under last week's Supreme Court decision giving states new freedom to pay for textbooks and some auxiliary services for non-public schools.

"The decision must be interpreted by the state legislature," said Father Coleman, pointing out that Massachusetts education officials have asked for legal opinions on the matter, but that it might take some time to establish guidelines.

Commenting on the fact that the decision permits states to lend textbooks and workbooks to parochial students, but not "instructional materials or equipment," such as audiovisual devices, charts, maps or globes, the Fall River director said wryly, "Maybe they're afraid we'd point out Catholic missions on maps."

He concluded, however, that he is hopeful that students will soon receive "the aid their parents are paying for with their taxes."

The Supreme Court ruling came in Wolman v. Walter, a challenge to an Ohio law. It stated that states may pay for textbooks and some auxiliary services - standardized testing, diagnostic testing and therapeu路 tic and remedial services - for nonpublic school students.

But the court also held that sections of an Ohio law providTurn to Page Two

Auxiliary Bishop Antonio dos Reis Rodrigues of Lisbon, who was also in Fall River and New Bedford during his visit which ended last Friday, was in Washington to discuss his country's plight. As president of Portugal's Episcopal Commission for Emigrants, he is concerned with approximately one million refugees forced into Portugal because of fighting or deportations from Angola and Mozambique, the coast of Africa, and Timor, an island off the coast of Australia.

The bishop said the over路 crowding problem "is not only' the worry of the Church, but is also the worry of all the Portuguese people."

P'apal Appeal

vATlCAN

CITY - During a solemn consistory June 27 to create five new cardinals, Pope Paul VI made an impassioned appeal to traditionalist leader Archbishop Lefebvre to end his rebellion against Rome.

Before placing red birettas on the heads of the new princes of the Church, the Pontiff contrasted their fidelity with Archbishop Lefebvre's ."contumacious insubordination."

Abortion Alternatives WASHINGTON - Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) Joseph Califano has promised "substantial initiatives" in the field of alternatives to abortion in fiscal year 1978. He predicted special attention to new sex education programs. He suggested such programs might be directed at grade schools because, he said, there is at least one estimate that many young girls now enter puberty at 10.8 years of age.

'Everyone Grows'

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - A fifth-grade teacher ,in Elkhart, Ind., has won a slogan contest sponsored rby the National Catholic Education Association. The winning slogan, to be the theme for Catholic Schools Week in 1978, is "Catholic Schools: Everyone Grows."

Approves Porno Limits NEW YORK - A decision by The New York Times to restrict pornographic film ads was praised in New York by Franciscan Father Bruce Ritter, who directs the Convenant House shelter for young victims of Times Square smut peddlers. The new Times policy, beginning July I, sharply limits the size and content of pornographic film ads to single-column type displays of up' to one and three-eighths inches. These will be restricted to the name of the film the name and address of the theatre' performance hours, and the label, "adult~ only."

Will Be Tried SANTA ANA, Calif. - Dr William B. Waddill Jr., accused of strangling an hour-old girl to death after an attempted abortion, has lost路 a Superior Court bid to be reinstated to the staff of Westmin-

ster Community Hospital where the death occurred. He will be tried on first-degree murder charges Aug. 8.

Woman Apostle?

TUEBINGEN, Germany - Father Hans Kueng, Swiss theologian who has clashed with the Vatican on numerous occasions, has attacked the recent reaffirmation of the Church's ban on woman priests with a statement in which he claims that the Apostle Junias, spoken of by St. Paul, was in fact a woman.

He is titular Archbishop of Florentino.

High Court Aids Continued from Pa2e One ing state funds for nonpublic school field trips and instructional materials such as audio-visual equipment, maps and tape recorders are unconstitutional.

The diagnostic and therapeutic services approved by the court in Wolman were identical to services the court had ruled unconstitutional two years ago in a .Pennsylvania auxiliary services law case, Meek v. Pittinger.

The main difference between the two state laws, the court said, is that under the Pennsylvania law, the services were provided on nonpublic school property, while under Ohio law the services are provided on "neutral" property.

In Meek, the court cited "dangers" that public /School employes and physicians providing services on nonpublic school property might be pressured by their religious surroundings in sectarian schools to use their services to advance religious purposes.

Discussing therapeutic service in the majority opinion in Wolman, Justice Harry Blackmun said the "danger" in the Meek case existed "not because the public employe was likely deliberately to subvert his task to the service of religion, but rather because. the pr.essures of the environment might alter his behavior from its normal course.

So long as these types of services are offered at truly religiously neutral locations,. the danger perceived in Meek does not arise . . . The dangers perceived in Meek arose from the nature of the institution, not from the nature ,of the pupils."

In ruling the field trip and instructional materials aid unconstitutional, the court said both forms of aid benefitted sectarian schools more than their students and had the impermissable primary effect of furthering sectarian education.

Early this year a young French scholar on the faculty of Salisbury State College, Salisbury Md., who was a 1960 graduate of the former Prevost High School in Fall River and a member of St. Anne's parish, also Fall River, died of complications attending a kidney transplant.

Six weeks before his death, Dr. Paul Moreau, 31, had written to The Anchor with regard to an article he planned to write on the importance of organ donation. Immensely grateful to the . donor who had made even a brief extension of his own life possible, he realized at first hand the fewness of donors in comparison to the number of patients awaiting not only kidney but also eye donations.

He noted, for instance, that over last Thanksgiving weekend 400 people died in highway accidents. Of these victims, the majority in good health at the time of death, only 20 had made provisions for organ donation.

In Massachusetts, although applicants for new or renewed drivers' licenses are given the opportunity to signify that they are willing tC}' donate their kidneys, eyes or any other needed organs, only about 10 percent of the population do so, said Janet Breiter of the state Kidney Foundation, 183 State St., Boston 02109.

In practice, she continued, only one out of every 1000 potential donations can be used.

The nature of death injuries, various medical problems and the factor of time all play a part in deciding whether a given organ is utilized.

An organ must be used within 72 hours, she explained and and preparatory procedures sometimes transportation problems must be allowed for. With such difficulties, she said, ft becomes more essential that a large pool of potential donors be maintained.

"Right now there are 200 people in the Greater Boston area alone waiting for kidney transpiants," said Miss Breiter.

The procedure is not uncommon, she noted, 25,000 transplant operations having been performed since 1954, when it was introduced. At Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where Dr. Moreau was a patient, 2300 transplants took place in

1975 alone. His operation, said his aunt, Miss Loretta Moreau of Somerset, was successful in itself, had it not been for the ensuing complications, and the majority of kidney patients do recover, with the aid of drug therapy, to lead productive lives.

'Definite Need' There is, however, "a definitive need to inform the general public in whatever media available" of the donor program, emphasized Dr. Moreau in his letter to The Anchor which demonstrated his concern for the wenIbeing of fellow suffer~s froni' kidney problems.

The Kidney Foundation notes that transplantation research is going on with regard to other parts of the body, including the liver, pancreas, heart, bone and other tissue, giving hope to victims of a wide range of diseases, and donor cards allow for this in that they permit individuals to give any needed organs or parts in addition to eyes and kidneys.

Scruplous care is taken to protect the rights of donors, said Miss Breiter and normal funeral and burial arrangements are not interfered with. She said further information on the donation procedure is available from her at the Boston Kidney Foundation office or, in Massachusetts, at Registry of Motor Vehicles offices.

Continued from Page One immigration requirements for the Portuguese refugees. He said Portuguese Church officials would like the U.S. bishops to help get those refugees admitted and then to aid them in resettling here, as they did with Vietnamese refugees.

"The Church is hoping that foreign countries, especially the great nation of the United States that has done so much glorious work in the immigration of people, will help us resolve the very grave problem of these refugees from Angola, Mozambique and Timor," Bishop Rodrigues said.

Bishop Rodrigues was invited to the United States as a delegate for activities conducted by the Association for the Department of the Catholic University of Portugal. He spoke at a fundraiser for the University in Boston on June 10. He was acornpanied on the trip by Jesuit Father Jose Bacelar E. Oliveira, rector of the university.

He had no desire for honors. He had an actual distaste for recognition.

These virtues were part of his very personality and manifested themselves in his ardent love for the Church and his awesome respect for the priesthood.

chase requirement will bring more poor people into the program and free up a part of their income for use on non-food items. But less than a week before approving the elimination of the purchase requirement, the same committee almost unanimously passed what the Food Research and Action Center calls "probably the most outrageous amendment of the twoyear food stamp legislation effort."

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June 30, 1977

·themoori~ The Revival of an Old Industry During the past week three new steel-hulled trawlers joined the evergrowing New Bedford fishing fleet. In recent months such additions have· become frequent among many of the fishing fleets that sail local waters.

This is indeed another positive indication of the rejuvenation of one of the oldest and most important New England industries. In this maritime diocese full support and encouragement should be given by every sector 'of our community. to the efforts that will once more establish the importance of our local fishing industry in the economy of Southeastern Massachusetts. The signs of present progress in this regard are indeed encouraging. The marine industry is booming.

It is estimated that there are now 200 boats being built for service in the New England fleet, the vast majority of steel construction and larger and more efficient than their predecessors.

We must remember that most of our present fleet are World War II wooden-hulled vessels that are just about on their last sea legs. In addition, it is interesting to note that many of our smaller boat yards just find it impossible to meet the demand for new construction.

A basic reason for this boat building boom and the revival of the fishing industry as a whole is the 200-mile fishing limit which by law restricts activities of foreign vessels in United States waters. This legislation certainly has opened an unlimited horizon of new opportunities for local fishermen. (This editor has long supported the 200-mile limit and still urges proper authorities to see that it is strictly enforced.)

When we consider the vast numbers of individuals and families supported by the fishing industry, the figures are overwhelming. Fishermen, boat builders, marine electronic industries, manufacturers of rope, nets and fittings, oiJ and battery suppliers, oceanic institutes all have a stake in this renaissance of the New England fleet.

Because of the enormous effect the fishing industry can have on the economic' life of this area, all of us should be aware and concerned in relation to its future development. Hopefully, we will read the signs of the times, support federal aid to the fleet, and maybe have time to say a prayer for the men who go down to the sea in ships.

Work for Food Stamps?

By Jim Castelll The House Agriculture Committee's handling of the Food Stamp reform bill in mid-June offered a vivid example of a legislature giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

On one hand, the committee, by a 34-12 vote, backed a Carter Administration proposal to drop the purchase requirement for food stamps - under the

proposed arrangement, instead of having to pay, for example, $100 to receive $166 in stamps, a recipient would simply receive $66 worth of stamps.

This proposal has had virtually unanimous backing from church, labor and civil rights groups who see it as one of the most progressive measures in the history of income maintenance programs. Eliminating the pur-

Rep. Paul Findley (R-lII.) introduced an amendment which would require jobless food stamp recipients who register to look for work and are still jobless after 30 days to accept any job offered by the local government. These people would not receive a salary; instead they would be paid in food stamps at an hourly rate determined by the minimum wage.

So, for example, if a recipient were entitled to $60 worth of food stamps, he would have to work almost 29 hours at the present minimum wage of $2.30 an hour.

Some committee members, seeing that Findley's amendment would pass, sought a compromise by asking to make the forced work requirement a pilot project; the committe voted 43-2 to establish a pilot project in each state.

Surprisingly, the ,amendment has gone virtually unnoticed by the general press. But church groups are concerned and highly critical.

Mathew Ahmann, Associate Director for Government Relations for the National Conference of Catholic Charities, called the amendment "tragic" and said "It's important that government take a aead in providing worthwhile jobs; if it did that. people wouldn't need food stamps. But to put people to work sweeping off city hall steps is quite inhumane."

Ahmann also said the required work-for-food-stamp proposal would hurt already employed municipal workers who could be replaced by cheap labor. If the government puts people to work, it should be at the prevailing wage, he said.

The required work proposal must pass the whole House and it will then move to a conference committee with the Senate version of the food stamp bill (which is part of a larger farm bill). Ahmann said he hopes the proposal can ,be killed in conference.

It Melts Ice cream melts.

That law of physics was demonstrated on Father's Day at St. Stanislaus Church, Fall River, when a thoughtful parishioner brought a Father's Day cake, neatly boxed, to the rectory.

The fact that it was an ice cream cake was realized hours later when the hungry fathers took the box from the kitchen cabinet.

"For all such future delights," noted the parish bulletin plaintively, "please make sure that your message gets through loud and clear: 'It's ice cream, Father!'"

NEW YORK (NC) The president of the National Council of Churches (NCC) has returned from Northern Ireland with a bleak view of prospects there.

WIlliam P. Thompson led the first official NCC delegation to confer with representatives of the Irish Council of Churches (ICC), which includes the major Protestant denominations of Ireland.

The NCC already has an Ireland program, directed QY a Jesuit priest, Father David Bowman, and this will continue, Thompson said.

A cooperative relationship between the NCC's relief and development agency, Church.

World Service, and the Catholic peace organization, Pax Christi, has also been established for joint funding of Irish projects.

"There is a tremendous flow of funds from this continent to Ireland, but too much of it finds its way to ammunition and bombs," Thompson said.

On the NOC's Ireland program, Thompson expressed a desire to see more cooperation be-

As in the past the spiritual program will take place at Cathedral Camp, East Freetown, where renovations have recently been made for the comfort of retreatants.

tween the NCC and the U.S. Catholic Church.

But he said American Catholic bishops apparently felt "restrained" by the more reluctant attitude of Irish Catholic bishops on ecumenical cooperation.

He agreed that since the Protestant community in Northern Ireland exercises economic dominance, it has a responsibility to take the initiative in trying to redress Catholic grievances. But he sees no evidence of such initiative, only a "political vacuum."

The choice of a successor to the late Cardinal William Conway is "a matter of crucial importance," he said.

"If the new cardinal is more responsive to opportunities for closer relations of his followers and members of ether churches, it could go a long way toward improving the situation," he said.

leall to Action l Meeting An Inept Debacle By

REV. ANDREW M. GREELEY

The bishopi meeting in Chicago put the last nail in the coffin of the "Call to 'Action" charade despite what you may have read in the "National Catholic Reporter."

(Their news stories get closer to fiction each week. See, for example, the account of the National Educational Association meeting in San Francisco.) I

By MARY CARSON

Every year, at the beginning of summer vacation, I breathe a sigh of relief. I much prefer having the kids home. Summer is a time free from school pressures. I know that there are many dedicated teachers who are understanding, realistic, and devoted to helping children learn, but every year there is at least one ding-a-Iing who makes life miserable for me.

By

the Detroit tent show will persist for a long time. I would guess that it set representative democracy in the church 'back by at least a decade. Even worse, the opportunity to use the resources of its own younger generation of scholars and administrators was wasted. The "communal Catholics" in their thirties, ~ho are good at what they do, were not brought into the preparation for the meeting. Indeed, most of them were unaware that it happened.

I'm a scholar who cares about the institutional church. I knew about the meeting and was horrified by it. The communal Catholic scholars simply didn't care.

The meeting didn't turn them off

because they paid no attention to it.

Yet the church's chances of ever challenging them were badly 'hurt by the ''Call to Action," Once you commit yourself publicly to' illiterate路 rubbish, the barriers don't come down easily, even if the rubbish is buried in committees.

'jine the kids up" is one and three quarters the driving time between home and where the function will be held. This makes it necessary for parents to stand around for "line-up time" because there isn't quite enough time to take the kid, come home, and drive back again.

My daughter's graduation was held in a theater 45 minutes drive from home. By following this formula, the schedule engineer succeeded in having hundreds of parents milling around for an hour and a quarter in the hot sun.

Maybe there is a psychological reason for such teachers. Instead of tears because "my baby is growing up," by the time it's finished parents breathe a sigh of relief: "Thank God, it's over."

At this time of year, schools hand out awards to students.

I'd like to offer a few to some of my "favorite" teachers.

Most Likely to Drive Mothers Insane: to the teacher who demands typed term papers from students who can't type.

It's explained, "No problem, dearie . . . just get someone to type it for you." Fortunately for my kids (unfortunately for me), I type. What happens to kids who don't have a mother who types?

Or the ones who don't have a typewriter? "You 'can rent one at the library." Term papers are usually written at midnight.

Most libraries aren't open at tat hour.

Though nothing will come from the "Call to Action," the institutional church is stuck with it. Until it can divest itself of the albatross of the Detroit meeting, the church will not be able psychologically to begin conversations with its own "communal" intelligentsia. Another ten years?

Future of International Labor Organization Shaky

ment, business and labor representatives.

MSGR. In recent years, the U.S. labor delegation has been waging a GEORGE G. campaign to keep extraneous , HIGGINS political issues off the agenda of the agency's annual conference. This may be a losing battle. In the opening days of the current conference, a U.S.-supported proposal calling for the depoliticizatiori of the ILO was The International Labor defeated by Communist, Arab Organization (lLO) is the and Third World countries. only UN specialized agency They thus demonstrated that with a tripartite system of路 they are determined to use representation. Each national the ILO for their own polidelegation is made up of govern- tical purposes as they' have re-

peatedly used the United States itself in ~ecent years.

Their aparent "victory;' may prove to have disastrous consequences if the United States decides to withdraw from the ILO. I would oppose this, not because I disagree with the U.S. position on the current controversy, but because I feel that withdrawal might eventually result in the demise of the organization.

Some critics of the AFL-CIO, which is responsible for nominating the U.S. labor delegation to

the. ILO and has been leading the campaign to depoliticize the organization, are quick to say that George Meany and his associates are being too stubborn about this matter and too doctrinaire in their opposition to the Soviet Union and its subservient satellites in the ILO. In my opinion, that's an over simplication of a very complicated issue, although, the AFL-CIO ought to think long and hard before it decides to pull out of the ILO. I would urge it to swallow its pride this time and to give it another try in 1978.

On the other hand, the time

has come for those who believe in the importance of the ILO to start putting the heat on its real enemies - the Communist, Arab and Third World delegations that are clearly bent on misusing the ILO for their own political purposes.

Until this has been done, the future of the organization will remain uncertain. Meanwhile so much attention is being centered on the current political controversy that the essential work of the ILO is being. badly neglected and its basic purpose is being completely ignored by the U.S. media.

Summ路er's Time for Lazy Days, Impr,om,ptu M,eals -, By MARILYN RODERICK

Summer has arrived and with it lazy days and lazy meals. It's a time of picnics, unusual hours, and pick-meup meals. "It's too hot to eat," is the favorite cry around my house, especially at dinner time,

when we are urging the children to sit down at the table. Of course, hunger returns about 9 p.m., when the kitchen is cleaned and there is nothing but nothing left in the cupboard. 路Because, hopefully, I have a bit more time in the summer, when I'm on vacation, than during the school year, I do try to do more cooking from scratch, and since I have such a sweettooth, my favorite department is pastry cooking.

In the heat of summer, this should be done as early as possible in the morning or if you

have the stamina, late in the evening (unless you have an airconditioned house).

I do love the impromptu summer meals though, when I stop on the way home from the beach and pick up a great piece of swordfish, and then some fresh vegetables, neither of which needs fancy sauces or spices to taste perfect.

The following is one of the best lemon recipes I have ever come across. It was given to me by my husband's aunt, Mrs. Mary Perry of St. Anthony of Padua parish in Fall River.

Lemon Squares Crust 1 Y2 cups flour 1 Y2 bars (% of a cup) of margarine % cup finely chopped walnuts Mix together the flour, margarine and walnuts. Cut the margarine into the flour first until it is grainy and then mix in the nuts.

Press onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan and bake ,in a 375 oven for 15 minutes.

Remove and cool.

0

Filling 1 package (8 ounces) of cream

cheese 1 cup confectioner's sugar 1 cup whipped topping Mixed together and spread on cooled crust Topping 2 packages of lemon instant pudding 3 cups cold milk Mix together and spread over cheese topping, cover with more whipped topping and set in refrigerator. Beautiful and cooling!

Cronin, Bishop of Fall River, an-

nounced the news of Monsignor Oliveira's honor upon his return to Fall River from the canonization of Saint John Neumann. '~I am delighted to make this announcement," Bishop Cronin stated, "for it signit1ies recognition by the Holy Father of Monsignor Oliveira, a loyal and dev9ted priest, and marks, as well, a sigifieant gesture of honor paid by His Holiness to the Diocese of Fall River."

Papal honors of the kind bestowed upon Monsignor Oliveira underscore the bonds which unite the Diocese to the Holy See, the Bi~hop explained. Significantly, announcement of Monsignor Oliveira's elevation was made on June 29th, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, on the eve of the Fourteenth AIJIliversary of Pope Paul's Coronation as Supreme Pontiff. . Monsignor Oliveira was appointed Episcopal Secretary by Bishop Cronin on August 15, 1972, in which capacity he continues to serve. He is Master of Ceremonies for Episcopal.. Liturgical SerVices and was named

by Bishop Cronin as Vice-ehancellor of the Diocese on January 14, 1976.

A· native of New Bedford, Monsignor Oliveira was ordained for the Diocese of Fall River on May 27, 1967. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Oliveira of 85 Scott Street in New Bedford. > ,'" .' ':.~"'<

Moral Choices: Morality of Business '.

By Father 'Raymond C. Baumhart, S.J.

General Motors is a business with annual sales of $35 billion. 1\ neighborhood laundromat is also a business thoJlgh it has only one employe and a yearly revenue of $25,000. Business is a broad term and business activities are similarly broad, i~cluding manufacturing, mining, buying, selling, banking, advertising, engin, eering. accounting etc.

In our economic system, profits are as necessary as they are misunderstood. A company's profits is the excess ef income over costs, the money remaining after salaries and all other expenses.. Profits are returns on the capital invested by shareholders; they deserve a fair return for the use of their funds.

But excessive .profitsare

The church~s are agreed that moral law should govern economic life, and that a good economic system should provide each person that minimal prosperity without which other rights cannot be enjoyed. But this prosperity should not be 'at the expense of personal rights and liberties. U.S. type cApitalism has been more successful in

Business' decisions significantly affect our nation's moral health. Therefore the morality of business should be a national priority.

All of the foregoing says that the morality of business is a vast and complex topic.

Business deserves much credit for our nation's high standard of living. Our business system is a combination of private enterprise and public planning.

Central to American-style capitalism are the profit' motive, competition and the 'corporate form of business organization.

The invention of the corporation permitted the accumulation of capital, which led to mass production and economies of size (and also to institutional bigness . with its anonymity: and imper~ sonality).

:Oecitl'路 Auction~':

NEW ORLEANS (NC) - "The Catholic newspaper in the Archdiocese 01 New Orleans has condemned the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Louisiana for auctioning off an abortion as part of a fund-raising event.

In an editorial, The 'Clarion Herald said the ACLU "has made a mockery of its claim to stand for civil liberties and made its contributors and supporters accessories after the fact in placing the life of a pre-born child on the auction block" by auctioning a complimentary abortion donated by Delta Women's Clinic in New Orleans.

The abortion sold to the highest bidder, who was unnamed in news reports, for $30. A clinic representative said the "street price" ,of the abortion was approximately $150.

Marlene Roeder, ACLU executive director in Louisiana, -said the ACLU had accepted donation of the abortion because, "The AOLU has traditionally taken a stand in favor of a woman's right to chOOse." The editorial said that the ACLU in the past "did, in fact, champion many just causes, including those of black citizens," but added, "now that $30 'deal' to pump out a child from the womb of its mother might buy the death of a pre-born black baby," , "For an organization which has pointed to the auction bloek of slavery to win many an important black civil rights case," the editorial concluded, the AC LU has come a long way in now auctioning death for the preb6rn - and that long way is down."

Question (orner •

.

.

?

By Father John Dietzen Q. Can a poor Roman Catholic become a canonized saint?

Such people do not belong to church societies, do not do much volunteer work, do not attend fairs and luncheons because they cannot afford it, and often don't come in contact with the pastor. All a poor Catholic can do is attend Mass on Sundays and holy days, practice the teachings of the Church, raise his children to know their faith, and do small k.ind deeds the best way he can.

So is the Catholic Church fair in picking out canonized saints?

God shows no such partiality.

(La.)

A. Probably the most striking and happy note about your letter is that you serously consider becoming a salint. Great for you! You mention briefly the "only" things a poor person can do. Those aren't so insignificant as you seem to believe. Follow through on them and you can't miss.

There are a couple of misconceptions you appear to have, however, about canonized saints.

One is that there are no poor people among them. The list of these is so huge one wouldn't know where to begin.

It is true that most canonized saints, particularly in the last several hundred years, have been members of religious orders, or people of some prominence in the Church. That is partly because the process of canonization is so long and complex that a fairly large number of people have to be interested in the project and able to carry it through many years, for a succeessful canonization procedure. It is not all that rare, though, for a relatively unknown man or woman, lay person or religious. .to be officially declared a saint.

More importantly, in canonizing saints, the Church in no way says these are the only holy-people, or even the most holy people in the world. It is entirely likely that among the saintliest persons are thousands oJ millions who are completely unknown to all but a few family and friends, but whose faith and love and closeness to God will shine brilliantly throughout eternity.

When the Church canonizes anyone, she doesn't declare that this man or woman was the holiest on earth. She simply says that the individual led a Christian life of sufficient and evident heroism that we can be sure that person is in heaven, and that we on earth might in many ways use that saint's life as a model for our own.

So maybe you will never have a church built in your honor.

Don't let that bother you. As the saying goes, some of my best friends are uncanonized saints.

Q. I live in minois and my brother lives in Missouri. We have a disagreement about how long we must fast before Communion. He says it is different from state to state. I say it is three hours everywhere. Who's right?

A. Both of you are right and wrong. The general law of the Church since 1964 (therefore not different from state to state) js a fast from food and drink, except water, for one hour before Communion. Water does not break the fast.

For the sick and aged, and for those caring for them, the fast required from food an.d drink is approximately 15 minutes.

.Dying in Someone's Arms

By Msgr. Joseph M. Champlin While I was in the last years of preparation for the priesthood, my mother once said to me: "After you are ordained, remember your first obligation is to the people of the parish, not to me."

Little did I, or she, realize what this would mean for both of us when she died a decade later.

Our family struggled for two years prior to that death as we watched a fatal cancer gradually wear my mother down and out.

I traveled home each week on my day off to visit her. I even anointed my' mother at 4:00 a.m. in a Syracuse hospital during one critical situation in which she suddenly experienced a heart failure. However, she recovered from that crisis and returned to die in her own house, in my father's arms.

II

Death Wishes, Denials

\1

I wasn't there. At the moment of her death I was ministering to the spiritual needs of some one else's mother also suffering from cancer.

How good it was, however, that she didn't leave this world alone. How comforting that my dad could hold her in his strong bu.t tender arms.

One of our prominent religious educators recently told me about her own father's death and of the exceptionally sensitive doctor who cared for him.

A few hours before the man's demise the physician stopped at the house, sat on his bed, and picked up her failing father, held him and spoke soft words of hope and encouragement.

Then, as he departed, that doctor gave the daughter this recommendation.

DEATH WISH: California youth ends hi s life as policeman watches powerlessly.

(NC Photo) Father Alfred McBride The world is full of people with death wishes and death denials. Suicide rates dramatize the rising number of death wishers.

The frantic race for material goods and cosmetic beauty points the finger at the death deniers. Death wishers jump off bridges. Death deniers keep building more bridges. Death wishers want to scramble institutions. Death deniers' are bent on expanding bureaucracies.

The point behind these observations is that the thought of death underlies much of the final motivations of people's actions. Either they become morbidly preoccupied with it and thus spoil their remaining days.

Or they can't bear the thought of it and try to live as though it can never hapen to them. Both have lost touch with reality since neither is able to face the absolute event of death with sense, faith and poise.

Freud has described the death wishers. Dr. Elizabeth KublerRoss has portrayed the death deniers. What the world really needs is the death accenters.

Christian realism never ceases to keep the question of death before people. Crosses adorn every Catholic church and altar. Good Friday and Easter, events that deal with death and its consequences, constitute the center of the Christian message. Jesus is a death accepter. He shows that, in his adult years, he is quite aware that death will come to claim Him one day. To Mary at Cana he says, "My hour - that is my death - is not yet here."

The younger we are, of course, the less we think that death will happen to us or have any affect upon our present behavior. But that is only at the conscious level. The built-in intimation of death haunts everyone's subconscious and works upon one's motivations. It can

Where Is Your Victory?/Il

By Father John J. Castelot Throughout the greater part of the Old Testament period death was a dark, fearsome mystery, the result of cosmic forces of evil over which humanity had no control. Whether explicitly stated or not, the feeling that death is the empire of mysterious evil powers is always there, bringing with it a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. Death could not touch God, of course, but man had alienated himself from God. This alienation was, fortunately not absolute. While men had forfeited the gift of immortality, he could still seek God's favor, and under the circumstances, the greatest favor he could ask was a long life, free of illness and pain. But eventually death had its day, and that was the end of everything, except for some shadowy sort of inert existence in Sheol, the Pit. Just one thin ray of hope shines through, again in a very late book, the second century Book of Daniel. Read Dn. 12,2-3.

There is the clear expression of the immortality of the soul in Wisdom 3. This book, however,

written in Greek in Alexandria, reflects the speculations of Greek philosophy, alien to Hebrew thought and psychology, which knew nothing of a "soul."

Its teaching in the area exerted no influence on the biblical outlook and it was eventually excluded from the Jewish canon of Scripture..

The New Testament echoes Old Testament views on death, but with a dramatic difference.

Where before there was hopelessness, helplessness, now there is hope and assurance of victory.

It was Jesus who conquered death, and He did so, paradoxically, by dying.

The victory was not easy, and it is consoling to recall that Jesus dreaded death as much as we do. As He approached the Garden of Olives, He said to His disciples: "My heart is nearly broken with sorrow and distress. Remain here and stay awake with me" (Mt. 26,38). Recall the agony which followed, during which He begged the Father three times to spare Him. God did indeed hear His prayer and "save him from death," Turn to Page Thirteen

Santo Agostinho conta-nos uma cena que marcou 0 processo da sua conversao. Estava no jardim da sua casa com urn amigo e "eis que escuto, diz ele, uma voz como de menino ou menina, vinda da casa vizinha, que dizia cantando e repetia muitas vezes: "toma e Ie, toma e Ie." De repente mudando de semblante, pus-me com toda a aten9ao a considerar se por ventura havia algum jogo em que as crian9as costumassem cantar algo parecido, mas nao me recoradava de ter ouvido jamais coisa sem¢lhante".

(ConfissC5es) Tambem uma boa leitura influiu na conversao de outros homens. Inacio de Loiola, ferido em Pamplona, aproveita a estadia no hospital para ler a vida dos santos, que 0 levam a dar rumo novo a sua vida.

"0 que deseja estar sempre com Deus, diz Santo Isidoro de Sevilha, deve rezar frequentemente e frequentenente ler tambem.

Pois quando rezamos, falamos nos com Deus, Deus que fala connosco." quando lemos Urn born livro e urn amiso que esclarece e anima, que sabe ser discreto e estar ao nosso dispor, quando preci3amos.

Most family members seem quite conscientious about visiting their sick ones at a residence, hospital or nursing home.

Nevertheless, I am not sure how many would be comfortable following this doctor's suggestion.

Nor even, for that matter, how many would feel at ease signing the forehead of a dying beloved or whispering brief biblical prayers into the ear of a deathly ill relative.

The latter two procedures, however, are encouraged by the Church.

Faced realistically and pondered in faith, death provides an opportunity for life-long maturing. Faith says death will happen, but that in Christ it will be overcome.

As the funeral liturgy puts it, "In Christ life is changed, not taken away." Fear not death, therefore. Instead, praise the Lord of life.

Again and again the Scriptures insist that we who are one with Christ will share His experience: death, yes, but victory over death in resurrection also. Perhaps the most striking presentation of this truth is in Romans 6, where Paul says: Are you not aware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Through baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. If we have been united with him through likeness to his death, so shall we be through a like resurrection (Rom. 6,3-5).

Bring Life Continued from Page Twelve to but because the experience of my life points to more life not by way of what I have not had here - but because life has given me growth even in the moments when that growth felt like death.

Faith is built up on images.

Beyond harsh images of death which I have (accidents and the murder of a friend), I have an overriding image of my Grandpa Maher's death. He Jooked throughout his' life like a warm piece of stone never taken out of sunlight. When he died, I could not image that he possibly had no life. He was eternal as the sun.

But then I am a romantic and I believe that beauty is eternal, like life. But it is my faith that tells me that romanticism is grounded in the reality of Jesus' promise: "He who believes in me shall never die." And: "I have come to bring life." NOW.

By Cecilia Belanger Two people at a supermarket stopped me to discuss spiritual matters, one in the frozen food department, the other in t1'te . canned fruits anc;l vegetable aisle. As far as I know, th"y did not know one another, yet both said nearly the same thing in so many words.

Neither cared for groups or meetings of any kind~ They did feel that because of what they referred to as a "quirk" in their natures that they were "out of things." And this is the part that set me thinking: why should they be?

One was a student, the other a young married. The thing that impressed me about both was that neither cared to possess much. They did not care about clothes or belonging to fancy clubs or eating in fancy places.

And strangely enough, this was the problem.

Both said, "Sooner or later the people we meet want us to do things that we don't want to do. We are always being manipulated by somebody and if we don't do what others want we are labelled."

They said a lot of other things with the result that I didn't do half my grocery shopping. And the conversations didn't leave me. I spent the whole weekend going back over the impressions, the openness and the pain on the faces of hoth Christians.

Gospel poverty is our only hope. In a St. Francis, we perceive no eccentric but the very image of the cosmic priesthood to which each man and woman is called. So why do people insist on discouraging it in others?

Why do they inisist on making other people's lives miserable?

Let us stop being impressed

with numbers. If one or two or more wish to go their own way and feel something impersonal 'in groups, then that is their right and for them that is the only way - to stay away.

I remember one person whose world view was the cassette tape; a hard-edged little system, compact, efficient, "discreet," made of interchangeable components, replaceable,' inexpensive, molded plastic, "destroy when finished." He referred to the cassette as "a total manmade universe."

And I thought: how true. It is a technological triumph of

man over nature, the icon of the technological world-view we now take for granted because this is the way we increasingly look upon ourselves: upon our brains and bodies (look at any modern hospital), upon each other (look at training processes refined into management workshops, "problem-solving sessions:' encounter groups and sensitivity labs) and upon larger populations (look at game plans and scenarios).

- This is wbat my two young friends were trying to tell me in their halting and self-conscious way.

In other words, far too many are finding this a cold, cold world, with cold, cold ' people in it, trying to run other people.

Last night -I typed out something for my two supermarket philosophers, notes from a speech

by Father Richard McBrien: ' "The former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare, says the Lord. But some of the scribes and Phari,sees of Jesus' time- had too much 01 a vested interest in the 'former things' to allow a place for the new. It is the pattern of 'former things' to say one thing and do another.. to urge your brothers and ssisters to sacrifice while maintaining a life of comfort, ease, anq inordinate luxury."

"It is according to the pattern of 'former things' to lay heavy burdens upon others, but to bear none of one's own. It is according to the pattern of 'former things' to engage in a kind of spiritual exhihitionism, to be seen by others, phylacteries securely and visibly in place, fringes appropriately lengthy as a sign of rank, a seat of honor on the dais, the best places in the sanctuary, the verbally top. heavy salutations which have challenged the imaginations of some of our most astute mis'tresses of etiquette.

"To hear some tell it, and see some act it out, one mighf be led to think that Jesus was more concerned with establishing bureaucratic elite than with announcing the Kingdom of God and calling his disciples to conversion, repentance, and a life of unmeasured charity."

'HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG' I ain't never been with a woman long enough for my boots to get old, We been together so long now that both need re-sewing.

If I ever settle down you'd be my kind, A·nd it's a good time for me to head on down the line.

Heard it in a love song, heard it in a love song, Heard it in a love song - can't be wrong.

I'm the kind of man who likes to get away So I can start dreaming about tomorrow today.

Never said that I loved you even though it's so, That duffel bag of mine it's time to go.

I'm goona be leaving at the break of dawn, Wish you could come but I don't need no woman tagging along.

Always something greener on the other side of the hill, I was bom a wrangler and a rounder and I guess I always will.

Written by Toy Caldwell Perfomed by the Marshall Tucker Band No Exit Music Co., Inc., B.M.!.

The scene and the theme are so familiar: it's the guy who is in charge here. When it's good for him it's good, and when it gets old it's time to move on.

What about the g,irl? She's O.K. as long as she fits into his picture but when it's time for leaving, he "don't need no woman tagging along."

What is particularly disturbing about this description is that you often hear it said - and even by girls - that mer. are like that - it's just the way they are and there's not much you can do about it.

A few things need to be said immediately. First, there is a difference between the way some men are and what they should be. Just because they act a certain way doesn't mean is is right. The more you let them get away with it, however, the more they will continue to do it.

Secondly, one -important consideration in love relationships is equality and actual sharing. "Double standards" cannot exist in friendship and love.

Finally, and most important, it is degrading for any person to accent an inferior attitude in love. L9ve is meant to build up the other but it works both ways. If one person is being built up and the other is Ibeing put down in relationship, you can be sure that it's not love that is happening here but one ego being fed while another is diminished. (In all fairness, this article also belongs to the guys who get strung along bj' self-minded females). .

You won't hear much about love in, "Heard It in a Love Song." You won't learn it from a lot of the rock groups and singers either even though they mar very popular and rich. .

Coaching Changes In The Making Topping the interscholastic sports scene last week, in the opinion of some, was the announcement that Bob Gordon had resigned as head baseball coach at the Joseph Case High School in Swansea.

Gordon coached his first Case hoop team in 1965 and led the Cardinals to four championships in the Narry League that was replaced by the Southeastern Mass. Conference. His 1967-68 team went on to win the Eastern Mass. Class C. title after having clinched the Narry crown.

Space does not permit listing all his accomplishments, which include his coaching the Case baseball team to three Division Two Southeastern Massachusetts Conference Division Two championships over the last four years.

A replacement is also being sought for Paul Urban, who has been head football coach at Plymouth-Carver Regional High School. Urban resigned that position to take the head football coach at Bridgewater Raynham High.

Norton Leaves S. E. Mass. Conference Norton High School has dropped out of the Southeastern Mass. Conference and will become a member of the Mayflower League in all sports.

Coupled with Diman Voke's dropping out of conference football last year, Norton's withdrawal leaves the conference's

Division III football setup with only six schools, defending champion Old Rochester, Wareham, Dennis-Yarmouth, DightonRehoboth, Seekonk ·and Bourne.

Norton was one of. the original members of the conference.

The conference opens its football season on Sept. 17.

Bishop Broderick reminded the Vincentians of their patron, an early 19th-century French priest whose initial assignments were as chaplain to wealthy French families.

"But St. Vincent, like St. Paul, made a U-turn in the highway of life. He asked himself if he, as a priest, couldn't do something more for the kingdom of God than cater to the rich."
