He Serves Hispanics

In New Bedford Sooner or later, says soft-spoken, curly-haired Father Charles Soto, almost every Hispanic person in New Bedford comes through his friendly door.

For nearly two years the young Franciscan, himself a Puerto Rican native, has been director of Regina Pacis Center, which occupies the old St. Hyacinth Church building at Rivet and County Streets and serves the Hispanic population' of the Whaling City.

Low-key in manner, Father Soto describes himself as a political moderate. But he generated some sparks in May when he resigned from New Bedford's Human Relations Commission both because of lack of time and'because "I could see no concrete evidence of the Human Relations Commission being an advocate for the poor."

He noted that the poor had no representation on the commission, organized as response to summertime rioting in New Bedford some years ago, and felt in general that "it hadn't fulfilled its purpose."

Problems such a group could and should investigate, he added, would include equal employment and the plight of minority construction workers.

Fears have been expressed, he said, that this will be "a long hot summer" in Ne w Bedford, but his opinion is that there are enough influential persons in the Spanish and other minority communities in the city to control any disturbances.

Regina Pacis will contribute

its share to summer activities.

A five-week program for 8 to 12year-olds has already begun, including study of Puerto Rican culture, religion, music, arts and crafts, swimming, sports, outings and a tutoring service. It will end with a two-day "Olympics," complete with medalawarding ceremonies.

Catholics 18 % Of World Total VAnCAN CITY CNC) - The total number of Catholics in the world at mid-year 1975 was 717 million, or 18.2 percent of the world's population of 3.94 billion, statistics just released by the Vatican indicate.

The statistical Yearbook of the Church 1975, edited by the Church's Central Statistics Off路 ice, is the sixth volume it) a series begun in 1970. It contains statistics gathered from around the world on Catholic popula路 tion; parishes and dioceses; numbers of priests, permanent deacons, men and w{)men Religious and seminarians; numbers of infant and adult Baptisms, and marriages; and actions taken by diocesan and regional marriage tribunals.

The highest proportion of Catholics in the total population was in the Americas with 61 Catholics for every 100 people.

The Senate-passed stipulations are part of a $60.6 billion funding bill for the Departments of Lab"or and of Health, Education and Welfare. Although the House version of the bill, passed June 17, contains no exceptions, the Senate vote assures that the final bill - to be worked out in conference committee - will include an anti-abortion provision.

The key vote in the sometimes tense debate came on a move

by Sen. Robert W. Packwood {R-Ore.) to kill the entire antiabortion section and to allow continued funding of abortions under the Medicaid program without restrictions. The Senate rejected that move, on a vote of 56-42.

Several senators who opposed the abortion funding limitation last year voted for it this time.

Four of the 17 were Catholic: Democrats Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, Thomas J. McIntyre of New Hampshire, and Edmund S. Muskie of Maine.

Abp. Lefebvre Case Presents Dilemma

By John Muthig VATICAN CITY '(NC) - Very tough choices face Pope Paul V, as he decides what to do about the ever more defiant rebellion begun by traditionalist Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre.

Paradoxically, the Pope who fathered a new atmoshpere of openness, justice and due process in Church life following the Second Vatican Council, is now tempted to issue a blunt, medieval-style excommunication against the rebellious archbishop.

And, ironically, it is the postconciliar atmosphere of openness and dialogue - so openly hated by Archbishop Lefebvrewhich has so far helped save the French prelate from the sting of excommunication.

Since the archbishop was suspended from exercising all his priestly functions last year after he ordained a group of priests illicitly, the Pontiff has repeatedly urged him through lengthy personal letters, through emissaries and public appeals, to end his disobedience.

When he scheduled the ordination of 14 more priests this June 29, he evoked a new round

of public and private pleas from the Pope, including a strong warning that his proposed action would make his breach with the Catholic communion "irreparable.'"

Now that the ordinations have taken place, the ,Pope must answer Archbishop Lefebvre's chalTum to Page Seven

Ready for NCCW NationaI Pa rley

They Live the Gospel At, Casa Maria MILWAUKEE (NC) - Cas a Maria Hospitality House doesn't look much different from the other weather-beaten homes along a block in Milwaukee's central city. But ;inside the house, on the door of a playroom, hangs a tattered piece of paper with these words: "Come into my house and have fun."

That's just one of the elements of Casa Maria. For 10 years, the Catholic Worker hospitality house has opened its doors offering fun and much much more - to "guest families" who need some time to get a steady job, find a permanent home or otherwise get back on their feet.

The founder of the home, Michael Denis Cullen, would have liked to be in MilwaUkee'foi the' home's 10th aniversary on June 26, but red tape prevented it. Cullen, now 35, was deported to his native Ireland three and a half years ago for his part in a 1968 anti-war protest in Milwaukee. He served 11 months in Sandstone Prison before his deportation.

He has applied for reentry as a permanent United States resident, but incomplete paperwork prevented his attending the June 26 celebration.

In a letter sent to friends in Milwaukee, he said, "Now that the Vietnam era has passed, and a new Administration is in Washington, it is the ·hope of my wife Annette, our six children, and myself that we be allowed to return to the United States as a family." Mrs. Cullen and four of the Cullen children are U.S. citizens, and the youngest two - born in Ireland - are applying for u.s. citizenship, he said. A seventh child, Patrick, was born in the spring.

Cullen said the work he plans to do in the United States would be Church-oriented. Since his return to Ireland, he and his wife have been active in the Catholic charismatic renewal movement. Their home just outside Dublin is run by them as a charismatic hospitality house.

But Cullen's first hospitality house, Casa Maria, was founded in 1967 to provide physical and emotional shelter for the needy.

There's a prayer of St. Francis.of Assisi hanging in the hallway of the rambling old building.

It says, "Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where

there is hatred, let me sow love."

The house structure has undergone a decade of changes, but that philosophy remains the same. The principle of "do unto others" has been the life force behind Casa Maria, which is based on Catholic Worker movement ideals.

Guest families live in second floor rooms in the home. The five-person staff lives on the third floor. During a recent week, there were families of nine, eight and five living in the home, in addition to the staff.

The families were white Hispanic and black . ' Families stay an average of two or three weeks. They are referred tQ the house by other ·agencies or by friends. Often the people themselves ask to stay, and occasionally a police car will deliver a family found sleeping in a car because they have no home.

Casa Maria services are free, with expenses taken care of by donations. Several house workers have outside jobs and contribute to the budget. The building is owned by a local housing cooperative.

Furniture, dishes and other household items are collected and given away. A food bank is open daily and a clothing bank ,is open three days a week.

Most guests help with the housework, although it isn't required. Parents are asked to supervise their own children. "We want them to treat this as they would their own home," says 34-year-old Don -Timmerman, a staff member.

'Casa Maria is. religious in its own independent way. A crucifix hangs on the dining room wall, and liturgies are occasionally held there. But there is not a preachy do-gooder atmosphere prevalent. The power of community, however, is a strong belief, one that goes far beyond simply sharing a meal or a plate of cookies. And according to staff member Mike Trokan, "That's what has kept the house alive and active."

CASA MARIA, Milwaukee house of hospitality, offers temporary shelter to families in need (left picture). Right, Michael Cullel), its founder, sits in tent with Irish itinerant mother and child. Cullen, deported to Ireland from U.S. because of anti-war activism, has remained active in hospitality movement, but hopes to return to Milwaukee with his wife, seven children.( NC Photos) Illt"I""lll""":"""n""""""""""u"""""""""',lIIl1Uillll,'IIIIIII,""llllllllllllIlll'If''''1II1IlI"IIIIIllUIlUIII.IIIIIIIIIIII,,,,•• IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'"""11111""'11"""'1",,,,,"""1"""11'_

New Bedford Hispanics

Continued from Page One "youth shack," open several nights a week, and there will. be trips outside the city and, hopefully, a camping experience.

Three Teens Encounter Chr,ist (TEe) retreats will be offered, with weekly follow-up meetings thereafter.

The TEC program will continue next winter, said Father Soto, and it is matched by a similar retreat for adults. Also for adults are a charismatic prayer group and Marriage Encounter weekends and soon the Cursillo retreat will be offered.

Because these programs are in Spanish, noted the director, participants must usually travel outside the diocese for them. But despite that added obstacle, he has built up a center community of 30 to 40 committed Christians, "beautiful people" who help make a wide array of activities possible.

One such was a recent picnic at Sacred Hearts novitiate in Wareham, which combined a folk Mass commemorating the feast of St. John the Baptist, patron saint of Puerto Rico, with a traditional roast pig barbecue, games, sports and swimming.

Spiritual, Material Regina ,Pacis is under the auspices of the Diocesan Department of Social Services, said Father Soto, and as a diocesan agency he sees its role as including a pastoral dimension.

Mass is offered daily at the center, attended, he noted, by some former St. Hyacinth parishioners as well as by Hispanics.

And spiritual concerns will come to the fore at a national "Encuentro" meeting for Hispanic Catholic leaders to be held The Question in Washington in August. It will "At the day of judgement 'it be attended by Father Soto and shall not be asked of us what

by Father James E. Murphy, in we have read, but what we have charge of the Spanish apostolate done; not how well we have in the Attleboro and Taunton said, but how religiously we areas. have lived." - Thomas a Kempis Father Soto estimates that

there are from 6000 to 8000 Hispanics in New Bedford, nearly all of Puerto Rican origin, aIthough some, he explained, were born in New York or New Jersey or brought up in that area, as he was.

"They feel New Bedford is a more peaceful environment for families, so they come 'here," he said.

They find, however, high unemployment, causing many to leave. Those who stay often need th~ whole range of social services' and Father Soto averages about three calls a week from families needing housing, food, furniture and clothing. The center truck, he said, is available for pickups "almost anywhere in the diocese" and he is grateful for donations of stoves, refrigerators, furniture "and especially beds."

In the social service department, the priest is aided by

Mrs. Michael J. McMahon, St. Mary Cathedral Parish, Fall River, national chairman of the Organization Service Commission of the National Council of Catholic Women, and Mrs. Richard M. Paulson, Immaculate Conception parish, Taunton, director of the Boston N.C.C.W. Province, recently attended an executive committee meeting at Maryhill Retreat House, St. Paul, Minn.

Mrs. McMahon was named to the program committee for the national convention to be held in San Antonio, Texas, in November. She will also chair workshops for the Organization Service Commission.

Mrs. Paulson, a member of this year's national nominating committee, has been named to the resolutions committee.

On the national level, Mrs. McMahon will seek the office of second vice-president for the term 1977-1979 and Mrs. James Leith, Holy Name parish, New ,Bedford, Fall River Diocesan Council president, will be a' candidate for the 1979 nominating committee.

themoorin~ A Special Place for a Select Few Well, they have done it again. The forces on Beacon Hill have once more set the boundaries of the state in the neighborhood of Boston. A state - funded documentary film has been made to glorify the benefits that the state provides for commercial development. The 26 - minute film cost $35,000 to produce and is a part of a $120,000 campaign budget. The film is aimed at a national and even an international audience with hopes that viewers might see Massachusetts as an industrial paradise. , Aside from this rather debatable concept, the vast majority of film reviewers have panned the film, not for its professional quality but rather for its narrow view of the Commonwealth. Outside of fleeting glimpses of other parts of the state, the film, from all reports, is Bostoncentered. Very little time is spent promoting any other area of the state.

Now, for most of us who live in Southeastern Massachusetts this should not come as a surprise. For years the forc~s in the General Court and the entrenched civil servants of the state house have considered us and other areas of the state as mere orphans. Only in election year~ do they feel that they must condescend to admit that we exist. At all other times, their energies are concentrated upon preserving the priorities of the state's capital.

Those who are promoting the Commonwealth as an ideal area for industrial development should broaden their horizons (at least to the Newton line). Hopefully, as more people flee from the Hub to other areas of the state, the rank provincialism that has been ,the hallmark of. state government in Massachu~etts will dissipate.

As the people of Southeastern Massachusetts attempt to revive and renew their old cities and industries, they should make it quite clear to their legislators that they should have an equal share in any promotional efforts under- taken by state government. It would be well also if these same representatives of the People in the General Court would of their own accord be more vocal and active in their own opposition to the use of state funds in any further activities of the Department of Commerce and Development that would deliberately neglect to represent all the people who sustain them in office.

A Fragile Peace The province of Quebec for most of us is only next door. In reality it is another world, another way of life. It is difficult for most Americans to understand the present problems that exist between the national government of Canada and the province of Quebec unless they fir&t attempt to realize this basic fact. The present situation of tension that has developed between the two Canadas is historic, ethnic and cultural and thus very serious and complex.

Unfortunately, the rift between the two is widening.

The telltale signs of a worsening situation are beginning to be evident. From all reports, Quebec in general and Montreal in particular are splitting into factionalism.

Efforts to help resolve some of these tensions have to date been in vain. Let no one on this side of the border doubt -this reality. As one prominent businessman in Montreal states, "I am afraid this could become something like Northern Ireland~ God forbid."

As discussion proceeds and solutions are offered, let us hope that the voices of moderation and common sense prevail. Only in this way will the problems of the province of- Quebec be solved and the government of Canada as a whole strengthened. It would be tragic if violence replaced reason. Unfortunately, the signs of the times do not bode well for our northern neighbors.

We have a special relationship with the Canadian people. May the American people be constantly aware Qf the problems that Canada faces and ever willing to help reduce the factionalism that is so clearly evident. We as a nation should not interfere in the troubles of our neighbors but neither should we ignore our friends in their time of need.

Grain Reserve Plan

By Jim Castelli WASHINGTON (NC) - Bread for the World, an ecumenical citizens' group lobbying on the hunger issue, is stepping up work in support of a national grain reserve program as the House of Representatives nears a floor vote on a major farm bill.

The Senate has already approved a grain reserve program which Bread for the World considers adequate.

Last March, 35 U.S. religious leaders - including evangelist Billy Graham and Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati, president of the National Conference· of Catholic Bishops signed a statement asking Con-

gress and the Carter Administration to support the Bread for the World grain reserve plan.

The religious leaders said the national grain reserve would be a first step toward an international grain reserve. Grain reserves will help avoid future famine and stabilize food prices, they said.

Bread for the World origin. ally prQPosed a 25 million ton grain reserve and a separate 10 million ton reserve for dealing with hunger emergencies. The Senate and the Administration have backed an 8 million ton reserve.

Bread for the World then drafted a new bill which was

introduced by Rep. James Weaver (D-Qre.). That bill would establish reserves of 25-35 million tons with an emergency reserve of 2 million tons. The emergency reserve could increase to 6 million tons if other nations join, in an international reserve system.

Brennon Jones, Bread for the World issue analyst, says the timing may be right to estabish a reserve. There has been a bumper crop of wheat worldwide this year, he said, and farmers have had to accept lower prices because of the large wheat supply.

"Grain shortages hurt," Jones said, "but uncontrolled surpluses can be equally destructive."

U.S. farmers are pressing for export sales to make up for low U.S. prices and a crowded market. If too much U.S. grain is sold to developing countries, it will depress prices there and fill limited storage facilities, Jones said.

He explains the details of the Bread for the World grain reserve plan this way: "Suppose you're a farmer who takes in his crop of wheat in June when wheat is selling for $2.35 a bushel. You don't want to sell for that because you expect the price to go up. You can get a loan from the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Commodity Credit Corporation, for $2.25 a bushel. You have 11 months to pay the loan back· when the price of wheat goes up. You pay the storage costs for the grain.

"You can also get a loan for three to five years. The government pays the storage costs and you .,agree, n9t. ,t~ reIt:a,s~, the grain unt'if'the 'price teaches a ceitalnlevel"':"'~-~"

·Bread for the World would establish government loan rates at the higher of two figures: 80 percent of the average price for the past three years or 90 percent of the current average price, with a loan rate floor of $2.25 a bushel for 1977 and $2.35 a bushel for 1978-81. This protects the farmer from unfair low prices caused by a big crop, Jones said.

The Secretary of Agriculture could call for repayment of the loans when the price of grain went to 165 percent of the loan price or 130 percent of the threeyear average price, whichever is higher.

Calling in the loans would induce farmers to sell their grain, increasing the amount of grain on the market and protecting consumers from unfair high prices, Jones said.

Representing Bishop Daniel A. Cronin was Msgr. G. Mendonca, Vicar General, and many diocesan clergy were concelebrants.

She Likes Cats, Detective Stories, Writing for Children

By Pat McGowan Marigold Hunt is a cheerful lady who likes cats, detective stories and writing for children.

Because of the lastnamed predilection, Catholic youngsters are the richer for four books, shining examples of the difficult art of religious writing that neither talks down to children nor assumes adult-level understanding of complicated doctrine.

Recently she visited Fall River and talked, somewhat reluctantly, for she is not the greedy for exposure type of author, about. her life and work.

Her involvement with Catholic literature began nearly a half century ago, she said, when as a young London art student she came in contact with the Catholic ,Evidence Guild, which had as its most brilliant members Frank Sheed and Maisie Ward, who were to marry and found the Catholic publishing house of Sheed and Ward.

Guild members took as their arduous apostolate streetcorner speaking about Catholic doctrine, she explained, and she joined them "in a shy and alarmed manner."

Soon, however, she developed into an excellent outdoor speaker and was reluctant to leave London when her family, living in the English countryside, thought it was time for her to return home. . ·:.~'1~tE!~d:~ ..~he. l:clat.e.d, '''1. gol a silly job demonstrating dribble

Liked Issue Dear Editor: Your editorial "Human Rights and Carter's Sincerity" was excellent, as well as other items in the June 23 Anchor.

I thoroughly enjoyed Father Greeley's chiding the editor of "America" for his remark that the movie "Jesus of Nazareth" must have caused dismay in thousands of ethnic households because they were probably surprised to find Christ a Jew and not Irish, Italian or PQlish! Glad to see a real intellectual take on "America'" Father Miceli, whose book, "The Gods of Atheism," I found an educational treat, took on Msgr. Higgins in superb fashion on page 7 - which thousands of concerned Catholics have been hoping for these many years!

The Higgins column this week concerning labor movement leading for "a real living wage" and how the "liberals" and "radicals" have no concern about such, really amused people knowledgable about the Monsignor's overbearing AFL-biased writings. Does he now want to try to persuade us that he ever had support from the conserva-

tive community? Also, one wonders when he ever worked out in the cold wide world for a living and saw the stranglehold the labor unions have on the middle class society today?

So - The Anchor certainly gave me a lift and some chuckles this week!

Kathryn Ellis Nowak Marion

Disagrees Dear Editor: In the Anchor, June 16, you recount the growth of the Church in South Africa over 40 years 1920-1960 - "there can be little doubt where the Church's sympathy rests."

Unfortunately, 'Africa's record is bad and growing worse with the passage of time in spite of all the sympathy and foreign aid. The media chant of "Human Rights, Liberation, Freedom" produce a Jomo Kenyatta, Uganda's Amin, and chaos. President Kennedy's peace corps and billions of U.S. money bring bankruptcy to Zaire, formerly the Belgian Congo. Angola after one year of Black rule and Cuban soldiers is a sorry, miserable mess.

We never run out of solgans, "an end to White Supremacy, Black Freedom." Common sense is missing. Our new Ambassador

Young marches to the same drummer.

Do we not need a reappraisal of this wild haste for African reform. We will guarantee more misery for South Africa unless sober analysis is applied. Can anyone with the capacity to think conclude that after Western European expulsion, the complexities of modern government in South Africa can be managed by Africans. In our zeal and concern for the Church in South Africa, may we, First Do No Harm.

You Learn How To Be A Priest By Being One By

were rector I'd resign first thing.

He persisted.

REV.

So I ~nded up saying that I would abolish all clinical-pastoral requirements, all field work, all deacon year programs and turn the seminaries into educational institutions, concerned with books, ideas, and literary creativity - ' i.e., places which teach future priests how to read, how to think, how to write, how to speak.

ANDREW M. GREELEY

A semmarian asked me the other night what I would do if I were rector of ,a seminary. I told him I'd make my books required purchasing for all seminarians (doesn't matter whether you read them, fellas, just buy them). He insisted he was serious. I said that if I

Seminarians should engage in some ministerial activity, like all young men and women. If they want special clinical pastoral training, that ought to be an available option; but it's no sub-

stitute for the intellectual and creative development which seminaries are supposed to be all about.

But then, came the response, you won't be prepared to be a priest. My answer was that there was no way one could be prepared to be a priest. You start to learn how to be a priest after ordination and it takes the rest of your life. Seminaries should cease trying to do the impossible; they should be content with what they can do not too badly: teach the Catholic tradition, challenge young men to think, help them to learn how to express themselves.

Motherhood True By

MARY CARSON

The television film "Jesus of Nazareth" indicated that Mary had a normal delivery at Jesus' birth. Since then I've read many complaints that this distorted "the truth" of Mary's delivery.

To summarize, these complaints say: Mary was conceived without sin; it was because of sin that women were to deliver their children in pain the curse of Eve. Therefore,

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS

For all practical purposes, the dialogue between Christians and Jews has been going on for only a decade, growing out of the Second Vatican Council. In the beginning, the partners to the dialogue, at least in the United States, were

Mary could not have had pain in childbirth.

I find it interesting that these comments have practically all come from men, though I'm sure some women believe the same things. My own feeling is that it really makes little difference because the Church has no positive information. As long as what you believe helps you draw closer to Mary, you can believe that she had no pain, if that helps you understand her Immaculate Conception.

But I cannot believe that way.

It seems to me that the argu- ' ment over whether or not Mary had pain in childbirth is unimportant. What I find important, however, is the attitude underlying these arguments, which seems to stem from a belief that motherhood makes you "un-

In other words, teach them how to preach. For preaching is the most important skill of the ministry; it summarizes all the essential requirements for a priest: grasp of the symbols of the Catholic tradition, the ability to translate those symbols to contemporary life, the, capacity for systematic thought and disciplined work, the skill to express oneself intelligently, and the responsibility to focus one's resources on important tasks.

So they should read Tracy and Lonergan, Kung and Metz, Kennedy and Eliade, Thomas (saint) and Shakespeare. Augustine and Hopkins. And they should write, write, write.

clean." Mothers do all sorts of unsavory things, like menstruating and giving birth. These things are dirty, but Mary was pure. To preserve that image we must not believe that she did these terrible things.

These beliefs about mothers are not my invention. Look how long it was necssary (and continued as customary as recently as the birth of my children) for a woman to be "churched" after childbirth before she returned to the Sacraments. You don't purify something you believe is already clean.

The Church tried to upgrade "churching" to a prayer for the spiritual and physi~al health of both mother and child. But it became a tokenism that does not offset the centuries long tradition that women are inferior,

I realize that this is a total dissent from the conventional wisdom. But the conventional wisdom is wrong. Ask the laity: preaching is what counts and most priests are rotten preachers.

It may be too late to do anything for those who are already priests. But there's still time for seminarians. It's nice to be able to have the right bedside manner in the hospital (and I'm all for visiting the sick). ~ut, still, the only contact most laity have with the priest is the Sunday sermon. If you don't do that well, you're a failure as far as most of them are concerned.

of ITwo in One Flesh l

and women who have given birth are the lowest of all. (My own belief is that this attitude stemmed from thinking all intercourse - even in marriage is somewhat shameful. A woman who has given birth cannot deny having shared intercourse. A man is preserved from having to publicly admit this shame.)

For myself, I found the birth of a child exhilarating . . . the fulfillment of the love between my husband and myself . . . the true meaning of "two in one flesh." Our child was a tangible expression of our love, our visible link i)etween heaven and earth.

My own belief about Mary is that she was a very real woman.

If I remove her humanity, she

becomes antiseptic - the virgin in a vacuum.

I can't identify with that image. To relate to her I must find her a wife and mother, a woman with all the problems and pains, joys and love that are motherhood.

From that motherhood, she achieved heaven. From my own motherhood, I have that opportunity too. Her humanity shows me the way.

Possibly others do not need this image of Mary. Possibly, if you are not a mother, you can identify with only her spirituality. ,'. But if yOti. s~e 路Childbirth as -Such a lerriblelliing; -...:.:." the curse of Eve borne out in pain how can you develop a healthy mental attitude about raising a family?

Catholic-Jewish Theological Discussions concerned almost exclusively with social issues, in the broadest sense of the term, and tended to shy away from theology. Now that the ice has been broken, however, both parties are prepared to move into the second stage of the dialogue and to discuss theological issues in a spirit of mutual understanding and esteem.

This matter was discussed formally and informally at the third annual Christian-Jewish Workshop recently held in Detroit.

The majority of the 200 participants - Catholics, Protestants, and Jews - seemed in agree-

ment that the time has come to expand the Jewish-Christian agenda to include even the most delicate theological issues.

Catholic participants were particularly impressed by Father Edward Fla~nery's argument, in his roundup commentary on the workshop proceedings, that a profound study of our Jewish origins is absolutely essential to an understanding of the Christian faith.

The same point was made by a number of the delegates who took part in the March meeting of the international Catholic Jewish Liaison Committee in

Venice, Italy. The symposium the best of its kind I have ever attended - was a model of how to dialogue about theological issues in a Catholic-Jewish setting. I came away from it convinced that the future of Catholic-Jewish relations is very bright indeed.

But, while the progress made thus far is irreversible, much remains to be done. On the Catholic side, perhaps our biggest problem has been a lack of upto-date literature on CatholicJewish relations.

This gap is currently being filled, however, by competent

theologians.

Within recent weeks, for example, Servite Father John Pawlikowski, acting president and associate professor at the Chicago Theological Union, has published an excellent paperback volume entitled, ,"Sinai and Calvary: A Meeting of Two Peoples-" (Benziger Bruce and Glencoa, Inc., Beverly Hills, Calif.). This is an easy-to-read but scholarly summary of the best Catholic thinking on, all phases - historical, sociological, and theological of Catholic-Jewish relations. It will do mUCh, I am sure, to promote and deepen the dialogue.

I recommend it enthusiastically.

Summ1er' 5 Hardly Here When Fall Fashio,ns Appear By

MARILYN RODERICK

The impact of summer hasn't fully hit us when suddenly the stores are beginning to fill up with fall fashions. I find this disheartening

when I for one haven't spent one full day on the beach but I suppose this is what's called modern living.

If you do have the appetite for fall shopping, 'then look for coordinates because they will reflect the spirit of this year.

Blazers will go with gentle dirndls and easy T-knits. The blouson jacket is going to bethe number one topping. 'Many of us will remember them as the old Monty or Eisenhower jacket, only this coming fall

they will be layered with shirts or turtle necks.

Softness will continue from day into evening with the look of separates going even into the twilight hours. This use of separates for day and evening will give your wardrobe a great deal more mileage.

However, here is the big fashion news for this coming fall and winter. The designers have recognized the energy crisis and the majority of designs for fall are layered heavily. Stoles,

heavy skirts, capes and layer upon layer of sweaters will keep you warm and save you fuel at the same time. Look for plaids, tweeds and bulky fabrics to go with this type of look and the fashionable look will be one of keeping warm.

Even though I don't mind writing or reading about fall I still find myself looking for cool and bright summer outfits. Holpefully summer is going to remain around for a few

more months and if you haven't already completed your summer look, keep an eye open for the really good sales that are happening in all of the stores.

One plus for the consumer at this time of year is that the early rush to display fall clothing forces stores to empty their racks of summer merchandise.

So get in on the sales and you can still get a preview peek at what you'll be wearing when autumn arrives.

all to genuine redemption. To reverse t1;lat doctrine. as in the more virulent forms of racism. is to strike at the heart of Christian self-underStanding. To water it down with more subtle forms of racism is to treat it to "death by a thousand qualific:ations."

As expressed in all its major doctrines of creation and re~ demPtion. of sacrament' and- of Church as the mystical body of Christ. the logic of Christianity is the nonnegotiable affirmation of the radical equality of all.

The logic of racism, as the Nazis knew all too wen. is genocide.

To a!tempt to live an existence -faithful to Christian ideals except on racial matteb is an attempt to live a contradiction.

• Indeed. the Catholic theologi-cal tradition of social ethics has made the following insistence: As Christians we believe in the radical equality expressed in the doctrines of creation arid redetription.. As·' human· inquiters with God-given powers 'of reasoning. we also find that central to any proper understanding of our humanity is a rational ,'be-" lief in the radical equality Of all persons. Considered in the . light of both faith and reason. \ therefore. racism in any form is both un-Christia~and intrinsically irrational. .

In investigating specific moral issues one may distinguish three levels of reflection.

On a first level. one articulates fundamental and usually fairly abstract moral principles iAs jn6tbeiareatneom_mand:..-!·~

the first level as in the middle axiom "racism is. in all circumstances, immoral" or. more recently and more concretely, "integration is a moral good de· manded by the moral principles of both Christianity and the American ideals of democratic equality."

On a third level, informed by the earlier basic ethical principles and middle axioms. the Christian ethicist. studies concrete social policies, such as whether busing is a pI'Qper . means to achieve integration.

On this most concrete level. there is. of course. acceptable and often wide disagreement among persons who in fact re~lly do agree on both general principles and middle axioms.

For any responsible American Christian. 'whatever. one's specific views. for ~­ .ample. on busing will hold that 1) the radical equality of all persons is a central doctrine of Christiariity; 2) racism, therefore, is in all circumstanc.es immoral for the Cl\ristian; 3) integration seems a desired goOc:l for a just. democratic society: Two" facts, above all, must thereby remain clear for the American .

Indeed. our humanity is at stake.

NEW YOR'K (NC) - A photographic exhibit designed to make people think about the meaning of the Ten Commandments today has been on aisplay at Union Theological Seminary.

The provocative collection o( 85 color photos were arranged

by John Taylor, artist in residence at Union and filmmaker for the World Council of Churches ~C). The exhibit was shown at the wce assembly in Naibori. Kenya. in 1975, and in Geneva, Switzerland.

The photos and captions, written by theologians. political leaders and philosophers; are ,intended to "open up peopl~'s minds." Taylor, said, to rethink the ,Rteaning 'Of tbe Ten Com'mandmenft '. iR't'oday'S tangled \\-orld. '

Q. My niece Was married to a non-Catholic boy in a big church wedding. 'They were div· orced after a year, and she wan· ted to marry a Catholic. The priest told her nothing could be done. So they got married by a Justice of the Peace. ,.

I know their marriage is 'not valid according to the laws of the Catholic Church. Now they are expecting a baby. Can their child be baptized as a Catholic? (01.)

A. This

ops can recommend or require it in their own diocese, and many do.

The importance of such activity on the parish level is indeed urgent, more urgent, than most Catholics realize. Parishlevel responsibilities will become increasingly critical during the next few years in the national effort to pass a Human Life Amendment, to which American bishops have given highest priority in the area of respect for life. So I applaud your interest, and wish there were more like you.

Keep trying to acquaint your parish priest, and any others, with the reasons you think your suggestion should be listened to.

And don't neglect the wider pro-life actiyities in your area; they too are helpful and may indirectly have a beneficial in.fluence on attitudes in your own parish.

will depend on a number of factors, the main one of which is this: Are the parents able and willing to honestly promise to raise their child as a Catholic?

Color Process FRED R. DOLAN has been appointed parish communications director, it has been announced by Msgr. Patrick J. O'Neill, pastor of 55. Peter and Paul parish, Fall River.

Establishment of the position was recommended by the parish activities committtee as a means of coordinating reports on parish activities to the news media.

Dolan's duties will include editing and transmitting releases prepared by various parish organizations, as well as seeking out interesting aspects of parish life and preparing stories on them, the pastor said.

The activities committee, which Dolan serves as secretary, is one of five formed to channel proposals for a well-rounded program to the parish council.

Also recommended by the committee was a senior citizens' group and organization of a committee to promote parish bingo. Both won council approval.

The new director retired in 1971 after 45 years as reporter and sports writer for the Herald News. His wife is the former Marion Broadhurst. They have one daughter, Mrs. Donald H. (Marilyn) Ralph and three granddaughters.

Recently commissioned an extraordinary lay minister of the Eucharist, Dolan is parish historian, an usher-collector and secretary and publicity chairman of SS. Peter and Paul Retirees Club.

In announcing the appointment, Msgr. O'Neill stated: "Pastors are often reminded of the need for better public relations, but we find the task difficult because of lack of time and expertise in communications. Our parish is fortunate to have the services of a man like Fred Dolan, who possesses the experience and skill of a professional newsman and the interest of a committed Catholic."

basis as one makes the hundreds of small decisions about this or that, but playing by "faith informed intelligence" is more desirable when facing critical moral challenges.

Lastly, let it be said that as a Christian, one has the inner guidance of the Holy Spirit upon which one can rely.

The Nature of Moral Truth

By William E. May

At the conclusion of the Gospel according to Matthew, Jesus commissions His apostles to go forth into the whole world and teach all men to "carry out everything L have commanded you." He invests them with His own authority, the authority given Him by His Father.

As Catholics we believe that God Himself teaches us authoritatively through the Church. At the same time we believe that to' be a human being is to be a free person. Unless we were free, God could not love us, nor could we love Him. God can no more force us to accept His love and to love Him in return than I ~n force my wife to accept my love and to love me in return.

In addition, the Church teaches us that we are to act in accord with our 0\iVn conscientious judgments.

Thus is seems that we are faced with a paradox: on the

one hand, we are to listen to the authoritative voice of the Church; on the other, we are to listen to the voice of our own conscience. And freely to act in accord with our own conscientious judments. We hold, in other words, two truths: first, that the Church has been given the authority to teach; second, that we are under the moral obligation to determine our lives freely in accord with our own conscientious judgments.

The key to reconciling these truths lies, I believe, in the nature of moral truth itself. By this I mean that neither the teaching of the Church nor the judgment of personal conscience makes something to be morally good or evil.

From our own experience we recognize that we can be mistaken in our own judgments of conscience, and although we did not make ourselves sinners by acting in accordance with our Turn to Page Thirt.een

Their task, however, is not merely to distribute food, supply clothes or provide medical assistance. Nor is it soley to pick up homeless persons near the train station at midnight and offer them a room for the night.

Instead, they consider their

Moral Truth Continued from Page Twelve mistaken judgment, we realize that we have the obligation to seek the truth and to rectify our judgments. Moreover, we recognize that nothing is morally good or evil preciselly because the Church teaches us that it is. Rather, we believe, and the Church teaches, that the Church teaches authoritatively that something is morally good or evil because it really is so and that we can, by being faithful to the call of conscience to seek the truth, come to see for our~~'¥f~~s the a1!tnOiftaitfet.~cnin~ of the Church in no way diminishes our personal responsibility to search conscientiously for the truth about our i1ves as moral beings; rather it is intended to put us on the alert, to awaken our minds to the truth, and to remind us that we are living images of God.

Leadership Continued from Page Twelve freed us. So stand firm, and do not take on yourselves the yoke of slavery a second time!" (Gal. 5, 1). The principle on which he operated seems to have been the one stated in 1 Theologians: "Do not stifle the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test everything; retain what is good. Avoid any semblance of evil" (5,1922).

In the apostolic Church, then, we find a strong unity amid a rich diversity and likewise firm authority along with creative freedom. Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that authority in the Church is specifically Christian, the kind described by Jesus Himself when the apostles were jockeying for position: "You know how among the Gentiles those who seem to exercise authority lord it over them; their great ones make their importance felt. It cannot be like that with you. Anyone among you who aspires to greatness must serve the rest; whoever wants to rank first among you must serve the needs of all. The Son of Man has not come to be served but to serve - to give his life in ransom for the many" (Mk. 10, 42-45).

focus on youth ...

by Cecilia Belanger

I think,l've reached the point where a certain kind of hypocrisy is getting to.me! It reached its climax whe~ some young people asked me to spend some time with them for the purpose of talking about.) many subjects.

But the "many subjects" turned out to be just one: the so-called "holy people" and the so-called "secular people."

Through the years one grows up and one observes and one makes discoveries. Number one is that all of life for all of the people is a ministry.

One's heart should not reach out more for a priest than to a lay person. One is not better than the other. Demands can be made on both, fatigue sets in for both, impossible tasks face both, illness faces both.

These young people made it plain that they, too, were tired of the hypocrisy. That moral demands are made on all of us, not just clergy. High standards are demanded of all of us, not just clergy.

If we expect clergy to be firm in convictions, to identi(y with all sorts of people with integrity and courage, then we should demand the same of ours'elves because our lives too, are a ministry!

No Dual Standards If one dares to express an unusual opinion, someone who has been put down all his or

Life

In

her life will whimper, "But we're not priests'" What has being a priest got to do with right or wrong? God has no dual standards in this matter.

There is in God a demand for equality, an outrage against duality, and a hostility to double standards.

It's A Privilege I don't think men sacrifice their lives by becoming priests.

On the contrary. Were I a priest, I would never call it a sacrifice.

We can all present our bodies as "a living sacrifice" and many do. We all belong to God and are called to serve Him. There are many altars in life, many ministries, many services.

When God intervenes in our lives He does not compel us to be other than the full persons we must be. Self-determination is not denied but rather encouraged. In Jesus Christ, God is saying that everything is not closed, but that everything is _ open.

Recently I was discussing with a friend this fear that so many Catholics have in regard to expressing themselves or asking the searching question. She told me that all her life she felt brainwashed and conditioned so that she could not use her highest faculty - her mind. I think we must all beware of that at any age and from any quarter, in government, religion and education.

As we have just celebrated graduations, we are aware that there are times when we have to "travel," to move on in order to develop. Whether changing jobs or schools, or moving from one city to another, we know the excitement of change, yet fear and hesitation are part of it.

What helps are the friends at home, the people who love us and whom we trust. In search of the greener grass, even with "tears in our eyes," it is always comforting to have that special place called "home."

Nobrega Leaves Coaching Post "I have enjoyed my 17 years of coaching at Holy Family High. I've met a lot of good people during that time, and, I am indebted to the people at Holy Family for the co-operation they gave me and for the opportunity to coach there."

In those few words, Jack Nobrega, who has retired as head coach of basketball at Holy Family High, New Bedford said it all, and there is no questioning his sincereity.

Over that 17-year span, Jack's teams won 285 games against 97 losses for a rather respectable showing jn itself, a showing enhanced by the fact that Nobrega's Holy Family basketballers won the state Class C championship in 1967 and 1969 under the old format sometimes kno\yn as the Tech Tourney. They again won the title in 1972 under the present format of Eastern Mass. and state playoffs.

Additionally, under Nobrega's tutelage, Holy Family won the Class B Catholic Tournament in

1966 and 1967.

A native of New Bedford, Nobrega graduated from New Bedford High in 1949 and attended New Bedford Tech, now part of Southeastern Mass. University, before a four-year stint in the United States Air Force.

He is married to the former Barbara Constantine. They reside at 18 Tremont Street, New Bedford, and have a son, David, 19. who is sophomore at Salve Regina College, Newport.

Although no longer involved in coaching, Jack is kept busy in his position as Assistant Executive Director of the New Bedford Housing Authority and as vice-chairman of the New Bedford School Committee. , His parting words in a recent interview were that he would miss coaching. No doubt, he too will be missed but his record of accomplishment at the Holy Family basketball helm will long live as a monument to his devotion to instilling sportsmanship as well as the spirit to win in his boys.

Whiting, White Top Durfee Baseball Kevin Whiting was the leading hjt!~r,a,nd ~aYi White ,th/il leading pitCher for the Durfee High baseball team, according to available statistics.

Whiting, who batted for .380, led the team in doubles, 5, and shared honors with Jeff Aguiar in the runs-batted-in department with 10.

White, who pitched the Hill-

toppers to 10 of their 12 victories, had a very respectable batting average of .364. On the mound Ray was 10-2. In 68 innings he gave up only 50 hits, struck out 102 batters and walked only 22. He was charged with 22 runs, 16 earned.

Aguiar and B. J. McDonald, with .288 averages, shared third place in the batting statistics.

Remy Is_Angels' Captain Although this does not directly involve scholastic sports of this time, it is worthy of mention that the appointment of Gerry Remy, former Somerset High baseball star, to the captaincy of the California Angels of the American League was indeed well received by his host of friends and followers in the Southern Massachusetts area where his exploits at the plate and afield are still well remembered.

Gerry is only the second Angels captain and the first major league player from the Greater Fall River area to serve as cap-

tain of his team.

Now in his third season with the Angels, Gerry has without question solidly established himself as a major leaguer. He leads the American League in stolen bases and is hitting not much below the .300 mark.

Holy Name of New Bedford.

6-3, was leading the Eastern Division of the Fall River CYO Baseball. League entering this week.

In the Western Division, Somerset was the leader with eight wins and three losses.

Call For Wide Program Range ST. PAUL (NC) - The U.S. bishops' young adult ministry board has urged parishes to establish programs for the divorced, the unemployed, homosexuals and others who "ache fur a sense of community."

The 15-member board also recommended that: - The Church at all levels begin a study of human sexuality; - Pastors create liturgies and homilies that 'reflect the lifestyles of aU parishioners; Sexist language be eliminated

from Church prayers and music.

Keynote speaker Scott Hope, a young adult minister from San Francisco, spoke on the "unchurched" in the 18-35 age group.

"Rarely does a person become unchurched because of dogma," he said, but rather because of "unpleasant experiences" with church people or because they feel that churches do not recognize or speak to their special concerns.

IN AN EFFORT to call attention to Guatemala's critical need for water, Eddie Fischer, 21, is walking from that Central American country to Philadelphia. He hopes to raise $300,000 for water improvements by the time he finishes his 4100 mile journey this fall. (NC Photo)

He's Walking for Water Although Eddie, Fischer is making his journey on foot, it is his heart that is doing the walking.

The 21-year;0Id man is walking from Guatemala to his parents' home in Newton Square near Philadelphia to raise money for Rabinal, Guatelmala, whose 30,000 citizens have been short of water since last year's earthquake damaged their outdated irrigation system.

A former Georgetown University student who says he has a "personal relationship with the Lord," Fischer is trying to raise $300,000 to install a new water' system for the Guatemalean city.

"We've tested the soil in the Rabinal valley and it's rich, but it turns into powder in the long hot season," ·he said. "The underground water is there to be tapped. If we can plug into it. the people can have three harvests a year, which means more than enough food for them to .eat and to market to other parts of the country which have the same problems of malnutrition and even starvation."

Fischer stayed in Guatemala after he, his brother and his father visited the country last summer. He first worked in Concepcion Las Lomas and moved to Rabinal after his brother returned to Georgetown University.

At present Fischer is nearly 2000 miles into his 4100-mile journey. Averaging 35 miles a day, he plans to reach his suburban Philadelphia home by the fall, about six months after he began his walk.

"I might have chosen another way to do this," he said, "but I wanted to really call attention to the people of Rabinal and what they're going through. And I'm finding as I walk that many people respect this kind of thing where I'm not just asking but I'm doing something to get the money I'm asking for. My feet .hurt sometimes, but when I accepted Jesus into my life I decided to give Him everything I have."

After soaking his feet at home, Fischer plans to return to Rabinal with the money he collects. Next year, he hopes to begin studies for the Jesuit priesthood and expects to work in Central America.

Donations to his cause may be sent to Walk for Water, P.O. Box 188, Villanova, Pa. 19085.
