Pontiff Will Issue -Catechesis Study VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II told some 55 cardinals in secret consistory last week that "an apostolic exhortation will be published shortly" on catechesis (religious education) the theme of the 1977 world Synod of Bishops.

He noted that meetings with representatives of other¡ Christian churches have continued. He called on all in the church "to persevere ever more industriously in the noble effort to reachieve this unity willed by Christ."

In the speech he placed special emphasis on collegiality - bishops working together for the whole church - and gave strong indications that he plans to continue traveling frequently to various parts of the world. .

He also noted that during his pontificate contacts with nonChristians have continued.

Many are speculating that he will visit Ireland in August and the United Nations and United States in September..

The pope also, as part of the secret consistory protocol, formerly announced the-names of the 14 new cardinals who would be created rater in the day at a public consistory.

The secret consistory was â&#x20AC;˘ ~en only to members of the . ,. "Cqllege of cardinals. The text .; . . ' of the pope's speech, delivered in '-;>~atin, was made public ~fter. <wv<!s. Such speeches are genrally considered major stateents during the reign cif a pope.

Noting that this consitory was first, the pope summarized events in the church since his election, placing them in the .framework of continuing church renewal begun by the Second Vatican Council.

The pope singled out as "one of the chief instruments for carrying out such renewal" the "collegiality of bishops."

He expressed gratitude to God for the opportunity to visit Mexico in January and Poland in June, and he briefly reviewed the t:wo trips.

Reviewing other areas of church life, the pontiff focused especially on the work of the Synod of Bishops and on the recently .published document on Catholic university education.

He also referred briefly to ecumenical progress.

the living word

Why Not Some Coal?, Despite the fact that Americans ~are still sitting impatiently in long gasoline lines, and despite the fact that the oil conglomerates are still assuming an insulting attitude of total disdain' towards the American public, little has been done to utilize a vital energy resource that this ' nation possesses in abundance. .

Only this past week several ads appeared in local papers calling to public attention that much of the energy crunch can be diminished and many petro dollars can be kept at home if we only begin using this rich natural reserve. Americans must once more begin to realize that we can end OPEC blackmail and political deceit if we start once more to mine the coal that is in our good earth.

The facts sp~ak for themselves. Coal is our most abundant domestic fuel. It adds up to about 82% of the total energy reserve of this nation, yet at present it supplies only 18% of our energy needs anddernands. ' Coal is not imported, thus does not place any further drain on the dollar and-is a definite means of improving our balance of payments in the international money markets: In this day and age of nuclear deceit it should be remembered that coal can be burned cleanly, contrary to claims of its opponents, who would have us radiated to death. All new coal-burning plants are required by'law to have specialized equipment to remove sulfur emissions.

New technology is being developep each day to use the waste products of coal even as a valuable landfill or roadbase material. This indeed would be a vast improvement over the harmful chemical fills that have ruined many an American community in recent months, including some in our own area.

Above all, it should be remembered, while all the bickering goes on in Washington about the present oil difficulties, that coal is available now. It is estimated that the coal industry has a current surplus of 100 million tons per year. If this surplus alone were used to meet current energy demands, our oil imports would be drastically reduced.

In the 'light of this reality, doesn't, it seem strange that we are turning our back on an energy source that is so available and so' very safe while we play a game of inter-' national intrigue -with a few get-rich-qq.ick tricksters?

Doesn't it seemingly indicate that our government has been led down a path of recession by a few who seek to make a killing in the American marketplace? Doesn't it again point out that all the peanuts in'the world will not help this country face the domestic intrigue by .which the , major oil companies. have entrapped the White 'House? . While we still do not have the full truth about the events at Harrisburg, while we still must pay through the nose for a gallon of gas and while we are still being subjected to outright deceit by oil-captured politicians wouldn't you as a reader think it is about time to stop smoldering and begin to act? How about writing our national leaders to let them know you are fed up with all the phony excuses that have been handed to you and to find out from them - why not coal?

'Most Compassionate of Apostolates' Honored at Gala Mass~ Banque·t Reminiscences were the order of the day last week as the Carmelite Sisters of the Aged and Infirm marked their 40th anniversary in the Fall River diocese, the 50th anniversary. of their communi.ty and the year-long diocesan jubilee.

They celebrated at the Catholic Memorial Home, Fall River, with a Mass of thanksgiving with Bishop Daniel A. Cronin as homilist and principal celebrant. It was followed by a banquet at which one of the speakers was Msgr. Raymond T. Considine, now retired, the man most responsible for the chain of homes for the aged that have made the Fall River diocese the envy of others across the nation.

Representatives of all the homes were at the banquet. They are Our Lady's Haven in Fair-, haven, also staffed by the Carmelites and Madonna Manor in North Attleboro and.

Home History The .Memorial Home's begin-' nings date back to 1917, when the Misses Ellen and Julia Sullivan made a bequest to the Bishop of Fall River for erection of a home for the aged. But by 1933, when the bequest became available, it was insufficient to build an adequate institution.

Therefore Bishop James E. Ca:ssidy, then Ordinary, in 1937 initiated the first fund drive in the history of the diocese, collecting over a quarter million dollars in 10 day's.

On October 20, 1937 groundbreaking ceremonies were held and by July, 1939 the Home was 'ready for pccupancy. In succeeding years the original building was expanded several times to its present capacity of nearly 300. The associated 'Priests' Hostel also houses priests, some retired, some convalescing. from

REV.

ANDREW M. GREELEY

The priesthood is in more trouble than most priests realize. The trouble 'comes from an increasingly disenchanted laity.

I recently listened to a conversation among a group of welleducated and profoundly committed laity. They were appalled by most of the younger clergy.

As a result; pop psychology repaced theology as the principal tool of clerical education.

The second factor has been the pernicious misinterpretation by certain theologians of Vatican II's theology of the ordained priesthood. They have minimized into nonexistence the distinction between the priesthood 'Of the clergy and the priesthood of the laity. But' as a sociologist, I would maintain that even jf theologians can't see the difference, the roles are fundamenially different. The laity do not want an ordained clergy "just like them."

hood and much of the decline in vocations result' from this bad theology of the priesthood. Why be a priest if you can accomplish as much and maybe more by not being one?

I am pessimistic about the future. The men in the group that I talked to had already given up.

The clergy were not- part of their world of business and pro-' fessions. The women were still trying, for the clergy were part of their world of neighborhood, home and family.

But most of them were prepared to give up too. "I'm tired of the little boys they send us," said one woman. "I'm tired of them when they are 26 years old and utterly fed up with them when they continue to be little boys at 36 years old."

There may be some Catholics who believe this. And if it is good for_their relationship to God, fine. But to accuse the "readership" of Catholic papers of being -unthinking puppets is indeed a rash judgment.

It bothers me to think that some don't want our religion to be a love relationship with all the diversity and unqerstanding that love _encompasses. Those who require uniform, rigid, somber adherence to authority I pray will find spiritual growth in that belief. But I don't think that's the only way to be a good Catholic.

Hearing Delayed In Bishops' S~it WASHINGTON (NC) A hearing on a request by the U.S. Catholic bishops' for a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of a law requiring some private employers to pay for abortions has been delayed from today to Aug. 13.

U.S: District Court Judge J9hn H. Pratt granted the delay after government attorneys said they needed more time to perpare their case.

The bishops' request for the restraining .order came in a lawsuit filed June 21 challenging abortion provisions of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act passed by Congress and signed into law last year. The act requires some private employers to pay for abortions necessary to save the life of the mother and to pay for time off for employers to receive abortions.

Pratt earlier had secured an agreement from government at·

torneys that the abortion provisions of the act would not be enforced until he had time to conduct a more complete hear-

Once Abortionist Now Pro-Lifer

Mr. Bou1squet

A former leader in the proabortion movement, now convinced that abortion is killing, has written a book telling how and why his views have changed. Dr. Bernard Nathanson's book, "Aborting America" will be published by Doubleday in January.

In the National Catholic Register, Patrick Riley, associate editor, wrote that "the leading pro-abortion physician in the United States has about-faced.

He wants to reverse the very Supreme Court decision he work- ' ed for." lU , Dr. Nathanson was a' founder '. of the National Abortion Rights Action League and was director of the Center for 'Productive

Father Roland Bousquet was principal celebrant at a funeral Mass on June 22 for his father, Ephraim ..Bousquet, 76, a lifelong member of Blessed Sacrament parish, Fall River.

Many priests of the diocese were concelebrants at the Mass and Father Raymond P. Monty, secretary of the diocesan marri" age tribunal, was homilist.

Father Bouqu~t is pastor of St. Stephen parish, Attleboro.

and Sexual Health, which he once described as "the first and largest - abortion clinic in the western world."

In llis column Riley traced Dr. Nathanson's journey from proabortionist to pro-lifer. He said the doctor has not yet completed that journey but said of his book, "This imperfect document is powerful enough to prove decisive if properly wielded in the battle over abortion."

The suit also claims that since doctors allegedly have been able to abuse the life,-of-themother category, the act s ahortion provisions in effect require employers to pay for abortion on demand.

ing on the request for the restraining order.

The delay granted by Pratt means the agreement by the government not to enforce the law's abortion provisions also has been extended until at least Aug. 13, a spokesman for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Conference said.

The bishops filed the ,litigation, their first ever against the federal government, as a class action suit on behalf of all employers who object to abortion.

The suit claims the act's abortibn provisions violate employers' rights to free exercise of religion.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., July 5, 1979

THE-

IN THE

By Father John F. Moore Permanent Diaconate Director As previously mentioned, the deacon has a unique role in the church. His effectiveness depends upon several elements, but especially his family.

Now, deacons come in all sizes, shapes and ages. Deacon programs are dealing, not with a new kind of seminarian, but with men who' bring to the ministerial witness of the church 40, 50 and even 60 years of life experience.

Many have rejoiced in the birth of children, they have wept to see some of them journey home to the Father. They know what it means to earn one's daily bread in a mill, garage, classroom, executive office or hospital.

Life for the deacon is a reality far removed from the fantasy Of any ivory tower. Courtship, love, marriage, devotion, dedication, prayer, fidelity, hope, heartbreak, tears and joy have . formed the fabric of their lives.

And in this they bring to the service of the chl!rch a rich and rewarding experience that for centuries was ignored.

There is little doubt that the restoration of the Permanent Diaconate was a. very special gift to the universal church in general and to the American church in particular.

With their gifts of experience, age, faith and in- most cases the deacons can bring to a diocese a reality. of faith life that can inspire more and more people to devote some of their time to work in the vineyard of the Lord.

The deacon himself must be a catalyst for new ministries. Yet above and beyond this he can be the effective healer who leadl1 his social peers to a deeper and more abiding faith life.

One aspect that is now underway within our diocesan program is a family ev~ning home Mass vi~itation program, for the deacon candidate and his social peers. On such an evening the deacon candidate is requested to gather around the ~itar of the

Lord those people wh'o are a very special part of his life: his friends and neighbors, the people he is close to at work, the men he bowls with, the. people whom he might occasionally invite /to his home for an evening visit.

By such a visitation the priest director is not only able to bring the reality of the living Lord into a candidate's home, but he is also given the opportunity to share basic ideals and goals of the Permanent Diaconate with the candidate's friends and neighbors.

The occasion gives the candidate an added opportunity路 to show his social circle that in becoming a Permanent Deacon he is not at the same time evolving into some type of religious fanatic. In this way a candidate as it were breaks the ice' and dissolves some of the mystery about the路 diaconate that might exist in 'his friends' minds.

Such an evening is also a grand moment to promote the vocational aspect of the 'Permanent Diaconate since in most situations it is more than obvious that the candidate's social peers are people involved with him in a faith community such as Cursillo, Marriage Encounter or the charismatic renewal.

Just being available to respond to inquiries in a home situation provides an atmosphere conducive to planting the seed of a vocation to the permanent diaconate. Such an evening is also a wonderful opportunity to bUild, community.

In the first article in this: series it was mentioned that a deacon's community is his mainstay of strength and sustenance and that is diaconal, family and social aspects are knit together by the binding force of faith. It is in the building up of this faith community that true diaconal service will be accomplshed and that the deacon himself will be ministered unto. \

Goes Astray "The word of him who wishes to speak with God without speaking with men goes astray."

- Martin 'Buber.

Jesuit Superior Is' Re-Elected ROME (NC) - Father Pedro Arrupe, superior ~eneral of the Jesuits, has been re-elected president of the Union of' Superiors General for an unprecedented fifth term.

The election took place at the end 'of a three~day meeting in Rome, attended by 92 superiors responsible for Catholic Religious orders and congregations.

Father Arrupe, who has been head of the Society of Jesus since 1965, first became president of the International body in 1967. His new term will last until 1982.

After his re-election the Jesuit leader said he hoped to form stronger ties during the next three years between the union and the Vatican, various bishops' conferences, women Religious and non-Catholic religious groups.

During the meeting, Father Vincent de Cousenongle, Dominican superior general,' was reelected vice-president. Elected to the union's council were Bishop Norbert Calmels, a Norbertine; Father Victor Dammertz, abbot primate of the Benedic,tines; Father Falco Thuis, Carmelite superior general; Father Lucio Migliaccio, superior of the Clerics Regular of the the Mother, of God; Father Egidio . 'Vigano, Salesian superior; Father Eugene Cuskelly, superior of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart; Father Joseph Hardy of the Society of African Missions, and Christian Brother Jose Pablo Rasterrechea.

Pilot Medal Won

By LaCamera BOSTON (NC) - The staff of The Pilot, Boston archdiocesan newspaper, has chosen Boston columnist-critic Antho,ny LaCamera as recipient of the first Conway-Reilly Medal.

The medal is being inaugurated this year in observance of the newspaper's 150th anniversary. It will annually salute Katherine Conway, last lay editor before the paper became the official archdiocesan newepaper in 1908, and John Boyle O'Reilly, poet, patriot, orator and editor at the time of his death in 1890.

The award honors journalists who are judged to have fulfilled the ideals represented by Conway and O'Reilly.

LaCamera retired last year after 42 years as a journalist, 30 of them as a columnist-critic in the Boston secular press and on television programs. He will receive the medal at The Pilot's sesquicentennial dinner Sept. 12.

He was a speaker at the 'regional Catholic Press Association convention hosted by The Anchor in ,Hyannis in November, 1977.

'Communication Idea WASHINGTON (NC) :..-. Consultors to the Catholic Communication Campaign have backed long-range planning for communications work, new efforts for training church personnel-in media skills and strong emphasis on evangelization and social justice in church media efforts.

Roger Gagne, pastor of Saint Mark's, Attleboro Falls, who delivered the homily; Rev. Luke and Rev. Bertrand Chabot, brothers of Monsignor, and several area priests.

An estimated 600 parishioners' and friends of St. Theresa's attended the Mass. Before the liturgy a set of white vestments from the parish and a gold watch from the South Attleboro Council of the Knights of Columbus were presented to Msgr.

Chabot.

A reception followed the Mass, with .Msgr. Chabot and his family as guests of honor: Remarked Monsignor, "'I've never been kissed so much as I have today!" One could sense the feeling of love and devotion of the parishioners toward Monsignor at that celebration.

As was stated in a recent parish letter, Monsignor was responsible for building' the new church, which was solemnly dedicated in May of 1957. In October of 1969, Pope Paul VI bestowed upon him' the title of Monsignor because of his untiring dedication and devotion to the people of his parish and Diocese. In September of 1970, a parish center, also largely built through his efforts, was blessed.

As Monsignor himself said at the Mass. "We thank God for all of His blessings, and pray that He will continue to bless us in the future."

Clearly, having Monsignor Chabot as pastor is a great blessing, one which only God can bestow. Ad Multos Annos!

This Church Is Salt of Earth ZIPAQUIRA, Colombia (NC) - The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquira, Colombia, 30 miles north of Bogota, got its name from its location - a salt mine, which has been transformed into a mighty, four-aisled church, beautifully and eerily aglow with hidden lights.

Cars can be driven within a ,few yards of the church, about a half mile from the entrance of the still working mine.

Its dimensions, (396 feet long and 360 feet wide, with a ceiling height of 77 fe~t), are so great it can accommodate 100,000 worshippers, about 20,000 more than ~t. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

A pipe organ is placed high in the outer wall of the right,

aisle. On the opposite side is a creche, all carved out of salt.

The underground church is dedicated to Nuestra Senora del Rosario "(Our Lady of the Rosary), patron of miners.

Beyond Assent CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Catechists must instill in those they teach a faith that goes beyond "an assent to a body of truths h to a truly personal relationship 'with God, Archbishop Jean Jadot told North Carolina religious educators. The apostolic delegate in the United States ihad high praise for the "remarkable" National Catechetical Directory and called the chapter an catechesis its "greatest contribution."

The Epileptic

How Can IFind Time to Pray?

By Father John J. Castelot

By Susan Annette Muto

. The story of the epileptic boy (Mark 9,14-29) seems to have been composed by joining two originally separate narratives, each with its own message.

A large .~rowd is present when Jesus arrives (14), but farther on (25) a crowd begins to gather; the father brought his son to Jesus (17), and later "they" bring him (20). The affliction is described twice (17-18 and 22), and the symptoms given in one place have nothing to do with the deafness and dumbness which figure elsewhere (25). If one separates these strands,' one story emerges stressing Jesus' power as contrasted to the powerlessness of the disciples, and another in which lack of faith in relation to the exercise of Jesus' pealing power is the point at issue.

As'the story stands, however, the emphasis falls on the question of faith. Matthew's version underscores this by expanding Jesus' answer to the disciples' puzzlement at their inability to cure the boy. Whereas in Mark his explanation is simply; "This kind you can, drive out only by prayer" (29). Matthew brings in a saying which he uses also in another context (2i,21); "Because you have so little trust," he told them. ",I assure you, if you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you would be able to say tp this mountain, 'Move from here ·to there," and it would move. Nothing would be impossible for you" (Matthew 17,20).

The scene is 'dramatic. In answer to Jesus' re.quest for. an explanation of the hubbub, Ii man replies: "I have brought my son to you because he is possessed by a mute spirit. Whenever it seizes him it throws him down; he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. Just now I asked your disciples to expel him, but they were unable to do so" (Mark 9,17-18). These symptoms, com-' bined with the seizure described in verse 20, suggest classic epilepsy. The "mute spirit" is an added feature, and may explain, at least in the popular view of the time, the inability of disciples to remedy the situation. ,The usual technique involved a dialogue with the spirit - but how does one enter into dialogue 'with a "mute and deaf spirit" (25)?

Time is an ever present human reality. We ask ourselves, ~'Why does it' pass so quickly? How can I organize it better? What is the meaning of my birth, my life, my death? The answers elude us, for time is a mystery.

Before probing the problem of finding time to pray, we need to reflect in general on the mystery of being temporal beings.

Man is the only creature who dates his beginning and his end.

When we think of, time we find, first, that it passes; secondly, that it calls for order; and third, that it can at moments be transcended.

Usually we experience passing time in connection with physical changes, with the process of aging. A vivid reminder of what happens occurs when we peruse the family photograph album. , Photographs do not lie. Time passes, but what lasts is the love that transcends here and now.

Jesus, however, discerns a more fundamental reson: weakness of faith. To no one in particular he addresses the exasperated cry: "What an unbelieving lot you are! How' long must I •remain with you? How long can I endure you?" (19). But, exasperated or not, he says immediately: "~ring him to me." When Turn to Page. ThirteeJ.l

By Father Christopher M. Mooney St. Ignatius ·Loyola lived in the 16th century and developed a distinctive spiritual response to that age which has had a lasting influence into our own time.

The fundamental reason for different spiritualities in the church is the challenge of society at the crucial turning points in history.

- Eccles. 3:1-8 , discipline. The human effort he

The experience of ordering time has a ring of daily familiarity. It is a factor rooted in the functional, managing dimension of human life. Everyone knows what it's like to' set the alarm clock for seven, to pencil in appointmel1ts on his pocket calendar, to decide which events have priority and to schedule them in order. Perhaps most of oUr waking time is transcended..

Such times go beyond the chronological and enter the spiritual: those indescribable exchanges lovers share; hours spent wandering along the shore; afternoons that, melt into evenings under the impact of an absorbing book. At such times, without thinking about it, we are probably most intimate with God, for the eternal pierces through the temporal.

Tl)e art of prayer seems to involve integrating presence into the sacred in each of these time-experiences. Thus we can utter the prayer of passing time:

II

"Lord don't let me fear the rapid passage of my days. Help me to see in this aging process the gentle message of your will for' my life. Show me as the years go by the surest path to grace that I may see you always,' in an eternal face to Face."

When schedules predominate, we can offer Go the prayer of immediacy: "Here I am, Lord, 'running from store to store to buy all the ingredients for tonight's meal. I must go to the fish market, clean the vegetables, set the table - a list a mile long hammers in my ear. Help me to cook a good meal and offer it to my guests as a sharing in your own creation."

And finally, in moments of timeless presence, the prayer of transcendence may well be: ",How good it is, Lord, to simply be #in Your presence. To see the stars, to feel the sand, to taste the breeze. How sweet is the mystery of life."

St. Ignatius Loyola

insisted upon had its source always in prayer and the grace of Christ given to each person through the Holy Spirit. It is imperative to see this as central in Ignatius' mind.

greater service and our greater response.

Finally, Ignatius insisted that the real foe was spiritual and that any campaign against this power of darkness must begin in the heart of the individual.

The figure of Christ on the cross, whom the retreatment meets so often in. the course of the "Spiritual Exercises," stands as God's own witness to the terrible destructive power of sin. But even more it stands as the symbol of Christ's victory.

No one was more convinced than he that we can perform no good action unless we receive that good action as a gift from God. The need for !\umility is therefore self-evident. This is the true meaning of the frequently misunderstood "more" of Ignatian spirituality, by which Igna- .

This "more" of our supreme proof of Christ's love, generosity toward God is an at- leading to the resurrection, a titude of mind by which "we pledge of certain victory for are more and more eager to re- every Christian who battles ceive God's gifts," and by which against the' spirit of evil in his we are enabled to unite "his own heart.

By Janaan Manternach Jesus was with his three best friends, Peter, James and John.

They were hiking down from the mountain top where' Jesus had experienced God's presence.

Peter, James' and John would never forget the voice of God calling Jesus his beloved son.

But as, they reached the bottom of the mountain, their tlwughts were jolted back to more familiar things. A large crowd had gathered around Jesus' other disciples. The religious teachers, the scribes, were there, too. There was a lively discussion. It sounded like an argument. ., '.' "

,As soon as the cPOwd saw Jesus, they ran to greet him.

"What are you discussing among yourselves?" he asked.

A man pushed his way through the crowd. "Teacher, he said. "I brought my sick son to you. You were not here, so your disciples tried to heal him. But they could not."

"What is wrong with your boy," jesus asked. "It's as though a fearful power controls him," the man explained. "It throws him to the ground. My boy foams at the mouth. H~ grinds' his teeth. He beco~es pgid as a board." , Jesus looked around at the Turn to Page Thirteen

What is a university?

I asked myself that question almost daily last summer as I walked from class to class, building to building. What vibes was I getting from this beautiful campus, these people, these millions of books in the library? , A university has been de-, scribed as a community of scholars devoted to the search for truth for its own sake.

Amore cynical observer has remarked that it is "a collection of competing fiefdoms called departments, joined together by a commo~ central heating system."

Another sees the university as a community of young and old devoted to the imaginative consideration of learning. And still another sees it as a group of professors bound together' with no understanding of their common mission, with no real agreement concerning their purposes, with no tested verification of their methods; and with major ambiguity concerning their product.

To get another, the university is a social center, a young folk's home, a center for superfluous young people.

But I like the lofty view, that a university is a commonweatlh of deliberation and moderation in Ii world of passion and chaos: a realm ot' reason..

The university I know best has a library of four million volumes and a synchroton which is one of the world's great resources; it counts amongst its strengths Pulitzer Prize winners, Nobel laureates and a host of dedicated faculty members; it 0

o

. ,

counts in its student body men and women of glittering distinc-' tion and com~itment. Meeting , them I had to take the high view of a university. Their humility impressed me.

They could 'worship at the chapel with bowed heads and pray to the Lord and speak'of Job and Isaac and Abraham, of Luke and John and Paul, yet without pomposity say, "We were not there in their time but God has shown us how to use our potential. We can measure the speed of light. We can throw a girdle around the earth and determine its circumference. We can' plot the hemical composition of the stars and we can explain the symmetry of a snowflake."

To me, God is on campus, directing the agents of change and discovery. ,I see this as the glory of a university.

'I recall a day when some high school students and I sat around discussing the merits of a university. They were on campus for special programs and they couldn't say enough about the exhilarating environment.

But one said to me, "I don't like people I've trusted to turn out less than I had hoped."

among the learned as the unlearned.

One student asked, "What is an education?" I'm sure there are many answers to' that question, too. Alfred North Whitehead has well remarked that "each individual embodies an adventure in living" and the subject matter of education, therefore, is only one thing - life, in all its richness 'and in all its manifestations.

To that view one may be tempted to reply, "I like that view; I like that hope and that dream. That is perhaps why- I am here, though I don't utter that kind of expression anymore. I did once or twice as a freshman. It got blunted very quickly. So what I now get- is courses: some good and some not so gOOd." I heard the same thing said about religion. The students who used to speak about it freely got stared at, so they keep it to themselves. Like the freshman who had stars in his eyes, their expressions got blunted.' They shouldn't be, but that's the world for you, when it's travelling on one bandwagon and' you're on another. Don't forget to wave!

This is one of the great disillusionments in growing up. We find out this isn't a world where reason prevails by amoral computers but by men and women who are moral only to a greater or lesser degree. If we sometimes despair we need to remind ourselves "that hollow men and moral nomads'" are as common

Living Like A King LIVING LIKE A KING, A Plea' and a Plan for a' Simple Life, by Bishop Edward W. 0' Rourke. Templegate Publishers (Springfield, III., (1979). 90 pp. paperback, $3.45. Reviewed by' Joseph F. McKenna This book by the bishop of Peoria, III., can hardly be called impressive. It is small, has a plain blue and white cover and mixes a 'handful of simple illustrations with the text. In this case, the reader can tell a book by its cover. Bishop O'Rourke's message is straightforward; you can find real happiness by pursuing a simple life-style.

Reminiscent of the writing of "small is beautiful" economist E. F. Schumacher, whom the bishop credits in the bLbliography; this book is a· Franciscan manifesto prepared for a culture that eats in fast-food restaurants and guzzles at the gas pump.

"I would propose a simpler way of life by using n~tural resources more responsibly; ending the pollution of our environment; and respecting the rights of our fellow men to life's essentials," writes Bishop O'Rourke.

"In other words, our motives for such f:I. life should include stewardship 'of r:esources, ecological consideration, and the demands of social justice."

Bishop O'Rourke adds that a ~imple life style should be part of the Christian philosophy.

"Many times each day, each of us makes practical choices which

either add to the corruption of creation, or make it a part of the reign of God." he writes. "In other words, pursuing a simple life style is a major feature of our role in establishing the reign of God."

The bishop praises the simple, charitable life styles of such persons as St. Francis of Assisi, Mother Teresa and James and Mary Frances Peeples, a Peoria couple who have sacrificed a great deal for the sake of their 12 adopted children.

FUNERAL HOME

Bishop O'Rourke' might well have added his own name to that list. Despite an artificial hip, he jogs regularly. He doesn't smoke and he uses alcohol only rarely.

Singlehandedly, he takes care of a garden that grows about $500 worth of vegetables each season.

COUGHLIN

After selling the official episcopa'l residence in 1971, Bishop O'Rourke moved into a single bedroom house. As the Catholic Post, the ·Peoria diocesan newspaper, recently reported, "His house cost $19,500 and came complete with carpet, range, .refrigerator, washer and dryer.

When built, it cost $3 per square foot less than the going rate for poverty class houses, and Bishop O'Rourke says: 'Everybody could . live this way.' ..

At the conclusion of "Living Like A King," Bishop O'Rourke offers a three-step plan that, if followed, will take a person from cutting down on cigarettes to a true embracing of poverty.

Whether the reader makes dren in Grades 4 to 6 entitled 27; Principill Sister Leona Misto, such a commitment or not, he is "Creative Language Arts" is RSM said the course is not re- sure to find the bishop's book underway at SS.
