'Soap' Is Likely To Wash Away

Surgeon Asks Theologians To Probe Psychosurgery

"Soap," an ABC television prime time series planned to premier in September, may wash out long before that time if the United States Catholic Conference has its way.

Interfaith opposition to the series, described as a "radically new and outrageous adult comedy," is mounting and the latest salvo came from the USCC Department of Communication which last week released a memorandum to all U.S. bishops.

Noting that Donald H. McGannon, head of the Westinghouse Broadcasting Company, has rejected at least the first two "Soap" episodes for its

Feehan Facilities Expand As Enrollment Increases With a record-breaking increase to nearly 900 students projected for September, the physical plant at Bishop Feehan High School, Attleboro, is expanding, taking over a building adjacent to the campus formerly occupied by Nazareth School for students with special needs.

The Nazareth facility was closed by the Fall River diocese in June because area special needs students were increasing-

ly being absorbed by regular public school systems.

Sister Mary Faith Harding, Feehan principal, announced that the Nazareth building will become a religious studies center. Nearly all Feehan's 35 religion courses will be taught in the building, which houses five classrooms, a prayer room, an audiovisual center, a faculty room and an office.

By John Muthig ROME (NC) - A Jeading neurosurgeon who has transplanted ,brains in animals has asked Catholic moral theologians to devote less time to sexual morality and start scientific study of lifedeath problems faced by doctors. nr. Robert White, 51, said in an interview in Rome during a lecture tour that moral theolog-ians are unable to answer questions regarding neurosurgery and psychosurgery (operations on brains of criminals and psychotics) since they have "a great lack of knowledge about how the brain functions."

He said that other medical probJems which could be a "gold mine" for moral theology, "could well become a disaster" if serious study is not begun soon.

Among the problems: he listed the field of transplants, brain death ("We scientists are getting off too easily when we equate human death with brain death") and the use of expensive extraordinary means to conserve life of the chronically ill.

Dr. White, who was the first scientist to isolate an animal brain and keep it alive mechanically, said that "moral theologians are so tied up in problems of sexuality and in trying to decide what homosexuality is that they are not giving sufficient study to major medical problems."

He said that he knew of no moral theologian who understands neurochemistry or neuro-

physiology well enough to carry on an intelligent dialogue on the morality of certain operations on the brain.

"How can moralists give guidelines to surgeons if they don't understand brain function or brain chemistry?" asked the Cleveland surgeon, who has successfully transplanted the brains of monkeys.

"There as too much interest among the clergy in the fields of psychology and psychiatry, whereas they need a better education and background in the neurosciences." . Dr. White said that moralists Turn to Page Seven

Continued from Page One Baltimore affJIiate, Robert B. Beusse, USCC secretary of communication, said: "So. far, the network has refused to let the USCC see a preview of the first segments of 'Soap." Obviously, they are concerned about our reaction.

"First, I suggest that you call your local ABC-TV affiliate station manager for information," said Beusse in his memo to the bishops.

"Ask him (I) whether he plans to air 'Soap' in your community this fall; and (2) whether you personally or your personal representatives can see it as soon as possible so that you will be in a position to guide the people of your Diocese.

"You may also wish to suggest that representatives of other religious denominations in your community be invited to screen the program with you.

We are working in cooperation with various other Church agencies at the national level on this matter."

With the memo, Beusse sent a New York Times clipping which quoted an Idaho television station president as saying of "Soap," "It's not a new frontier; it's a new sewer."

themoorin~ The Spirit of Kansas City This past week over 50,000 persons gathered in Kansas City for the 1977 Conference on Charismatic Renewal in Christian Churches. Representatives from various denominations have called the meeting one of the most important ecumenical giatherings ~n the religious ~istory of this country. If the religious life of this nation is to be revived in this manner, then encouragement and support should be offered to those who sincerely believe in the basic and fundamental efforts of the renewal. However, such efforts do not come about without difficulties and dangers.

An Anglican priest from England offered the convention what might be considered one of the most meaningful reflections concerning a problem already appearing within the framework of the Charismatic renewal, namely, whether the renewal should stay in the "traditional" church.

Father Michael Harper clearly point'ed out that there are dangers connected with the renewal, stating "this could be the third great schism of the church or it could be a great awakening in the Church."

He explained that the charismatic renewal faced the dangers either of being so unstructured that charlatans could arise, or becoming so organized as to become another denomination. To guard against this, Father Harper proposed that those in the renewal keep in close touch with the organized church.

This indeed is the position of the Catholic Church. In this diocese a special liaison has been formed to guide and direct the prayer groups in the area. A basic structure is being developed which not only brings stability to meet. ings but also leaves sufficient room for individual expression.

photom,edita,tion A group of religious educators ... at a workshop on liturgical dance raise joined hands and voices their common Father. · .. in praise of God Adding unfamiliar gestures . . . to the long familiar words of the Lord's Prayer . . . they sing the prayer's ancient .conclusion ... a hymn of praise ...

"For thine is the kingdom . . . and the power . . . and the glory ... forever and ever ... Amen~" Despite signs of uneasiness at an uncommon manner of praying '. . . their bodily movements . . . create a sense of joyful praise ... imaging Mary's prayer ...

"My whole being . . . proclaims . . . the greatness of the Lord" (Luke 1:46).

Their whole-hearted . . . full-bodied prayer-song · .. may remind us that prayer ... is primarily praise · .. a heartfelt expression ... of wonder and appreciation ... before God ... so great and so good.

"Praise the Lord . . . all you nations . . . glorify Him . '. . all you peoples. ..

For steadfast is His kindness toward us ... and the fidelity of the Lord endures forever."

If the charismatic renewal is to be an authentic and effective witness, it must work within the church and not outside it.

The great danger of such a personal witness of faith is that it could become a vehicle of expression for the religious faddist or emotional extremist. Nevertheless t~s is one of the most important grassroots movements in today's church. Thousands of people meet weekly to pray, t<? listen and to witness; and many who have been searching for a form of religious expression that is a living testimony to the Gospel message have had their lives transformed.

As the charismatic renewal continues to grow and develop,' it is most important that it continue to renew the entire church anc;l not become merely a praying playground for the spiritually immature.

The members of the renewal must also be aware that many of their fellow church members cannot understand what this movement is all about. Its message cannot be brought to such people by a mindless adherence to accidentals. It is thus imperative for the good of the entire church that the work of the renewal not be left in the hands of the jnept or the disturbed but rather that it be developed by those tried and true Christians who sincerely believe in the work of the Holy Spirit in today's church.

The charismatic renewal will grow and achieve under5tanding and acceptance only if it achieves in its process of maturation a fidelity of devotion to the church universal.

Its witness has meaning only within the concept of the entire church and never apart from it. It must always keep in mind that the gifts of the Spirit are for all men, not just for a select few.

Letters Welcome Letters to the editor are welcomed. All letters should be brief and the editor reserves the right to condense any letters if deemed necessary. All letters must be signed and contain a home or-business address.

'~elfare Reform Problems

By Jim Castelli WASHINGTON (NC) - "Most of the principles on welfare reform expressed by President Ca~rter were good, but they all conflict with it's first principle of not spending any more money," according to Mathew Ahmann, associate director for government relati<ms with the National Conference of Catholic Charities.

He and Father Edward Ryle of the National Catholic School of Social Services have analyzed the Administration's welfare proposals. They see a lot they like, but they also see some serious problems. The Administration emphasizes that many of

its proposals are still tentative; Adminstration officials are now talking to state officials and a final legislative proposal isn't expected until August.

The basic proposal involves a "two-tier" income support with one level for those required to work and one for those who are not.

Those not required to work would be the aged, blind or disabled (now covered by the supplemental Security Income, or S8I program) and mothers of young children. Former SSI recipients would receive $2,600 a year (in 1978 dollars), slightly more than they now receive from SSI and food stamps. A

single parent with a child would receive $3,300 a year and a family of four, $4,700 a year.

On the second tier - those expected to work - a single person would receive $1,200 a year, a childless couple $2,400 a year and a two-parent family of four, $2,600 a year. Benefits would be reduced by fifty cents for each dollar earned. Benefits would be reduced less in private sector jobs than in public service jobs -for the minimum wage - provided by the government for those unable to find work otherwise.

People on the second tier would move to the first tier if government could not find work for them. A person refusing work would lose eligibility, although children would not be cut off completely.

Here are some of the problems Ahmann and Father Ryle see: -The benefit level is' inadequate. Catholic Charities has backed an income guarantee of about $7,900 a year for a family of four, half the median income.

"We don't expect to see it right away," Ahmann says, '''but we can't understand benefits set at 75 percent of the poverty level, which is inadequate in the first place." .

-People in many states, particularly the Northeast and Midwest, would get less than they get now.

-Eligibility would be determined on the basis of income averaged over six months before application. This means, according to Father Ryle, that a family of four with an income of $900 a month f.or the first five months of'the year· and no income- after . that. would.• go.three...·mornhs without any benefits and three more months before it received the full $350 a month.

Families like these would be helped by "general assistance" at the state level. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph Califano has said the federal government will take over some of these costs. But Ahmann warns that relying on general assistance will make the system more complicated, not simpler.

-The minimum-wage publicservice jobs will put people in dead-end jobs and depress wages for people already doing public service work.

-The Administration proposal includeS a provision for "relative responsibility" which Father Ryle calls "really regressive."

Now, SSI eligibility is based on the income of the aged, blind or disabled person alone. But under the Administration proposal, eligibility would be based on the income of blood relatives living in a household. this could mean, according to Father Ryle, that some aged, blind or disabled persons will be forced out of their families' homes in order' to receive benefits and that some families may be forced on welfare if they must support an aged, blind or disabled relative who is ineligible for benefits.

Father Ryle says this approach "goes against U.S. policy since the Social Security Act of 1935 and against the principle of collective responsibility for the elderly."

eastern Massachusetts University School of Nursing, summed up her eye-opening yer.r as the pioneer member of a Lay Missionary Program sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation of St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River.

As a volunteer, she served from last August to this June in the small town of Cotulla, Texas, where she assisted Sister Pauline, O.P. of the St. Anne community in developing a rural health clinic and administering the WIC federal program aimed at nutritional and physical betterment of mothers and small children.

In an area 85% Mexican- American, Barbara discovered how it felt to be a member of a minority group. "'Anglos' experience prejudice," she recounted, although in her case the fact that she was working with "the Sisters" dispelled suspicion.

Barbara admitted that before her year in Texas she hadn't had much church involvement, but that the experienc~ "turned my thinking around and left me feeling better about the church."

She credited Mrs. Del Maney of the SMU Nursing School faculty with interesting her in the lay missionary program. "She was so excited about it that I thought this was something I wanted to do."

Initially nervous at the prospect of living in community with Sisters, Barbara said, "It turned out real well. I learned a lot."

For the most part, she worked with Sister Pauline and another Sister from the St. Anne community, living in a rented house in the "barrio" or slum section of Cotulla. The Sisters were on a one-year assignment in the San Antonio archdiocese. Ordinarily they serve at a clinic in the Brownsville, Tex. diocese.

Still undecided about the field of nursing she wishes to enter,

Father D'Ippolito was ordained in 1950, then assigned to Greek Latin graduate studies at Catholic University, Washington, D.C. Thereafter he taught classical languages at St. Francis Seminary, Andover.

He has also served as superior and pastor at St. Christopher Friary, Boston; Most Precious Blood Church, New York City; and Immaculate Conception Church, Toronto. His most recent assignment was at St. Anthony's Church, Troy, N.Y. Ordained in 1945, Father Shults was assigned as professor in the Sacred Hearts minor seminary in Wareham and in following years served as a member of his community's mission band and in St. Joseph's parish, Fairhaven; St. Mary's, North Fairhaven; Our Lady of Lourdes, Wellfleet; and St. Anthony's, Mattapoisett, as well as in Columbus, O. and Rochester, N.Y. Father Yruco taught in California and was bursar in the Jaffrey, N.H. Sacred Hearts Seminary following his ordination in 1962. He served in Our Lady of the Assumption parish, New Bedford, and St. Joseph's, Fairhaven, before his most recent assignment at St. James Church, Boston.

By REV. ANDREW M. GRE:l:LEY

It is a safe bet that American Catholic church leaders are not thinking much about the next Supreme Court -vacancy. Every time there is an opening on the bench the Church seems to be caught by surprise.

Blacks, Jews, women, and envioronmentalists quickly have a fix on where potential appoint-

The Church manages to get itself organized a oouple of days after the appointment has been approved by the Senate. Thus Mr. Justice Brennan, the holder of the alleged "Catholic seat" -on the court, was approved a long time ago, and the Church seems quite content that there is a justice with an Irish name, despite the fact that Brennan has voted against the Catholic position on every major issue that has come down the pike-abortion, Catholic schools, pornography, anti-Catholic quotes.

You will not catch Mr. Justice' Marshall ever voting against the black position. He knows 'why he's on the court; and if he for-

the vacancy should be filled by the "best qualified" p~rson. ,Can you imagine his arguing that when Mr. Justice Thurgood Marshall is being replaced?

There is, you see, a "black seat" on the court now but not a "Catholic seat."

And they will get away with it. The bishops don't know how to fight. And the laity are not much interested since the antiCatholicism of the Supreme Court has little impact on their daily lives.

So the "Catholic seat" will be lost without a fight, and the bishops will go right ahead with useless campaigns on October Sundays.

Everyone will be happy.

In essence, however, the jargon on both sides concerns the same shift in approach from efforts to produce all-around development in the Third World through stimulating growth, to the belief that economic growth has to be coupled with far-reaching changes in priorities in the developing countries so that provision for the poorest becomes the prime objective.

tribution of wealth within develloping countries.

From World War II until 1976, most international development conferences were concerned with regulating relations of states and terms of trade to stimulate economic and hopefully sodal progress. The 1969 World Employment Program of the ILO was a new departure, shifting thE! onus to a complex of domestic policies, assisted by the international community.

The basic needs approach to development' unanimously endorsed by the 1976 World Employment Conference held under ILO auspices, corresponds to a

synthesis of growth, employment and poverty eradication goals.

The basic needs approach obviously goes far beyond the traditional ILO field of responsibility. Hence the necessity to work in a closely integrated way with the other institutions in the UN system; for example, FAO for nutrition, WHO for health, UNESCO for education.

Such collaboration as started effectively on preparation of a world survey of the state of basic needs fulfillment and an assessment of policies seeking to implement the basic needs-oriented strategy. Under the

World Employment Conference Program of Action, the results would be submitted to an ILO conference before the end of the decade.

From the beginning, the ILO was conscious that man does not live by bread alone. This new program also is not taken to mean merely the provision of a material minimum for subsistence.

The Program of Action states that the concept of basic needs should be placed in the context of a nation's overall social development, national independence, freedom and the dignity of the individual.

While most of us admire God's handiwork I have never heard anyone put his admiration into such meaningful words as did the visiting priest at my parish last week.

His homily was on attending to

the wonders of nature around us and realizing that by appreciating this beauty we are actually praying. Hi$ inspiration had come from a recent, message from the Pope who urged all Christians to make their summer vacations a prayer of gratitude for natural beauty.

To all who have or walk in a garden or live or walk beside the sea, this is no new message but it does re-emphasize basic facts.

Surgeon Continued from Page One cannot follow his presentations on neurosurgery since "they must bring what I say back into the realm of classical philosophy" Moralists must start answering hard questions about the morality of head transplants which, he believes, are already technically feasible.

(He rejects the idea of brain transplants for humans, and speaks about head transplants which would "give the brain the possibility of communicating with its environment." In transplanting only the brain, said Dr. White, a surgeon would run the risk that the vital organs of sight, hearing and speech might be rejected when the new brain began to function.)

While asserting that a head transplant probably could be done today, Dr. White admits that neither he nor other physicians are able yet to connect the spinal cord to the brain. Thus a transplant patient would be paralyzed from the neck down.

Dr. White said that he has not yet made any personal decision on whether or not a head transplant could ever be considered a moral operation.

"We are able to keep people alive today for incredible periods when we probably should not," he said.

"Dialysis machines can keep people with kidney trouble alive but the costs are exceedingly high. Everyone is supposed to have the best medical care possible.

"But now decisions have to be made on the categories of patients who are to enjoy every advance of medicine. The public, the government and doctors need direction. But moralists are escapjng these.,.problems since they are not trained to deal with the scientific disciplines," said the neurosurgeon.'

Asked about whether he felt the American hierarchy was suf-

ficiently aware of the need for serious moral guidance in the new medicine, Dr. White said that the Church "is still chasing its own tail."

"There are so many problems w:ithin the clergy itself, within the parish and regarding the place of women in the Church that the problems of the medical profession are getting low priority," he said.

WAS WAR PRISONER: Sister Mary Assumpta Duffy' 83, died last week at the Maryknoll Sistets' Motherhouse, Ossining, N.Y. A Fall River native, she entered the mission community in 1922 and served in the Philippines for 20 years. She was taken as a prisoner of war to an internment camp and was eventually rescued from behind Japanese lines by U.S. paratroopers and Filipino commandoes. After recovery from illness caused by camp conditions, she worked in Maryknoll houses in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Calif0rnia. She is survived by her sister, Sister Mary William, also a Maryknoller, and her brother, Andrew L. Duffy of Fall River.

During the past year members of the high school's religious studies department, led by Sister Elizabeth Doyle, have planned their use of the new facility, setting as their goal the providing of "an atmosphere wherein the students can experience and formulate for themselves a set of values which will lead them to live vihrant Christianity."

The increase in the number of students at Feehan, significant especially during the past two years, even in the face of rising tuition costs, is indicative of the desire of students and parents for a qulility education combined with solid moral training, said Sister Mary Faith.

"There are' many excellent school departments in our state and throughout ~r country," she noted, "but the varied philosophical backgrounds and religious orientation of the students present a unique challenge to American public education. In the Catholic school, conflicting moral values are non existent on the basic, fundamental level."

Max Volterra, town counsel, recommended to the selectmen that the proposed amendment be made more specific than it is at present in order to avoid conflict with state zoning legislation. The· anti-clinic forces agreed to the change, saying that it would not "dilute the strength of the amendment."

A leader among objectors to the proposed clinic has been Rev. Edward C. Duffy, pastor of St. Mary's parish in Seekonk, who has preached and written on the matter since it became a public issue in late June.

Pope Suggests Soul路 'Vacation VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI recommends that Catholics take a "soul vacation" this summer.

A "soul vacation," he said, is a period of "refinding oneself, one's thoughts, soul, freedom and very life.

"A rest from the routine of work is not mere idleness nor simply external diversion," he maintained.

He also encouraged vacationElrs to commune with nature.

"Get yourselves into contact once again with nature in its genuine expression: with space, the atmosphere, and animals, with the sea, the mountains, the plains, with dawn, noontime, sunset and especially with the star-filled night, deep and always enchanting.

"We wish you all happy vacationing," concluded the Pope.

The Pontiff will take his own advice as he embarks on a two-month vacation at his summer villa in Castelgonolfo, 16 miles from Rome. The villa, described as "a garden of earthly delights," is about the same size as the whole of Vatican City State.

The first important Roman to vacation on the sport was Em. peror Domitian (81-96 A.D.), who built the first of the great imperial villas on the site over-

fOrgan Donations Dear Editor: Congratulations on the interesting and informative article on the donation of kidneys for transplant (June 30, 1977). I know it has stimulated路 people in this area to think about becoming a donor.

The Church has delineated a very articulate position on the rIght to life. With prophetic voice today the Church carries on the principle of Jesus, "I have come that you may have life and have it to the full." (.rn. 10:10) We believe that life in this earthly, fleshly body is only temporary. ' I wish the Church would be more emphatic on this matter of donation viable organs for transplant, and indeed donating one's body after death for purposes of medical research. Such donations are a real participation in this mission of bringing full life to others.

The process of deciding about the donation of organs or one's body or both is a delicate and important one. While the decision is ultimately made by an individual, 1 feel the process should be shared by family and they should be well aware of

Knight of ,Year JI Is Bourassa

and comfortable with the decision.

Persons with an interest in such donations should be encouraged to pursue the process of inquiry now while they still have an opportunity.

Rev. Kevin F. Tripp Coordinator of Catholic Ministry, St. Luke's Hospital, New Bedford

He Did It Too Dear Editor: We read with great interest the "Sidelights" report (Anchor, July 21) on the achievements of Father Powers in the building of two churches, a great accomplishment to his credit. However, with all due respect to Father Powers, we feel we must set straight a point of history, and state that an error was made, namely that we know of at least one more good and devoted priest who has also accomplished the building of two churches, that priest being Father Howard Waldron, who was responsible for the building of Our Lady of Victory church in Centerville and also the church of which he is at present the pastor, St..Thomas More in Somerset.

By Father John Dietzen

Certainly there are enough Catholic people who operate this way, especially perhaps in matters relating to recent changes in tl!e Church. But I confess the logical contradictions in that kind of position confuse me.

Q. Doesn't the Catholic Church want converts? My daughter-In-law had been married before. She decided on her own to take instructions to become a member of the Catholic faith. They had informed her there would be a charge for the paper work, but isn't a total of about $200 jut a little steep?

I was a convert 27 years ago, and if they had charged like that, I would have said "forget it." (III.)

The Church has excellent historical, theological and liturgical reasons for allowing laymen and women to distribute Communion. If you cannot accept them, I pass on to you the advice a priest-friend of mine gives to anyone who will receive Communion only from a priest: "Go and kneel before our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament," he suggests, " and explain to Him why you will not receive Communion from one of your fellow Catholics."

A. There is no charge at all

for anyone entering the Catholic faith. Any minor expenses for books or other materials are usually absorbed by the priest himself or the parish.

The figures you gave indicate to me that your daughter-in-law had asked for an annulment of her first marriage so she could marry your son. The normal offering requested for such a case is $70 or $80 for the work performed by the diocesan tribunal and $120 for the final stages of the case which are handled in Rome.

Admittedly this may sound steep but even most Catholics have little idea of the average amount of hours and days including usually professional consultation with psychiatrists or medical doctors or others competent in the fields involved in a particular case that are required at all levels to complete an annulment procedure.

In other words, whatever money is given is by no means a gift to one or another priest who works on the case. It simply pays basic expenses of the offices and personnel whose services are needed before the final decisions are made, sometimes a year or more after the original petition.

Furthermore, no one is denied these services simply because he or she cannot pay for them. Provisions are made in every diocese and in Rome for the waiving of these charges when necessary. In some cases, as in our own diocese, the bishop authorizes that these be paid out of parish funds if the individuals involved in the case are too poor to give the stipend.

Q. I can't see married men or any other man giving out Communion. The priest should be the only one. If I go to Communion and I see a man giving Communion, I will not go. I will go only if a priest gives it.

(N.J.) A. I guess the only thing I

can respond to you is that you are simply not thinking like a Catholic. I've always found it difficult to understand how an individual can say: "I am so good a Catholic, I know better than the Church; no matter what the Church says, I'm going to be a real Catholic, and believe 'and do the opposite."

Q. What do people with a hearing problem do In a confessional? I wear a hearing aid but still feel up tight. I like a private confession rather than face-to-face. (Wise.)

A. Most larger communities, as yours is, have at least one Church in which a confessional is equipped with a hearing aid.

This may solve your problem. I suggest you call a priest in a nearby church and explain your problem. He will surely help you find a solution which will make provisio!l for your hearing difficulty.

Israel and American Catholicism \ By Msgr. Joseph M. Champlin

-

-

_.

I spent Easter week as a pilgrim in Israel, visiting the Holy Land with a young student priest. The following are a few of my observations from that journey and their relationship to the Catholic Church in the United States.

Military alertness and security precautions: As our Alitalia flight from Rome approached the Holy Land, the pilot announced we had entered Israel, air space and the use of all cameras, binoculars, etc., was strictly forbidden. That sober directive was but the beginning of many instances in路 which we saw visible testimony of past conflicts and current tensions.

Wrecked fighter planes still remain strewn along the main runway of Ben Gurion International Airport. As we disembarked, security personnel quietly and unknown to me whisked my partner away for a routine spot check which nevertheless involved detailed questioning.

When we departed from Israel, the security search was lengthy and thorough, including a respectful, but quite personal frisking of one's person.

National industriousness and pride: "Give us 30 years of peace and we will transform Israel into a land flowing with milk and honey." Our guide's promise that this biblical description of -this . young nation will become a reality may sound fanciful or arrogant. However, when you view

the remarkable transformations which human industry and ingenious irrigation have already produced in the desert region around Jericho and throughout other areas, his remarks sound more like a prediction than a dream.

Charity for the poor and incapacitated: Riding back on a local bus from En Karam, the site of Mary's visitation to Elizabeth, I was impressed by a youthful Israeli soldier and a woman in her early twenties, both of whom handed a coin to an elderly, begging lady. There were repeated similar incidents of charity during our visit. We found noteworthy, also, modern looking institutes for the blind, the sick and the aged.

Observation of the sabbath: residents in Israel observe three different days for this weekly rest: Friday for Moslems; Saturday for Jews; Sunday for Christians. There is no public transportation and no Jewish stores remain open on Saturdays.

During my visit I linked those impressions gathered throughout Israel with some apects of life and worship among American Catholics.

First, our prayer for peace in the Middle East during Sunday liturgies assumes greater meaning when one has witnessed Israel's universal military preparedness and tight security precautions.

By Father John J. Castelot Thoughtful people are becoming increasingly concerned about the way we have abused our natural resources. Strip mining has scarred lovely landscapes. Careless dumping of waste materials has fouled lakes and rivers and poisoned fish. We burn up energy as if it were limitless. We harness the atom and use it to annihilate innocent human beings and blight the lives of its survivors. On goes the ugly recital of our folly, of our sinful mismanagement of God's precious gifts. Sinful? Yes, if we believe in a God who has made us stewards of His creation.

The creation accounts of the Bible are not scientific descriptions of how the world came to be, but they are serious theological reflections on the meaning of creation. One lesson that comes through insistently is that our universe is, by divine design, beautiful and good.

We are the image and likeness of 'God in that we share His dominion over His creation.

We are stewards of His universe, which He has given us as a sacred trust. Ecology, then, is not simply a natural concern; it has

By Father Alfred McBride

When God put Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, He told them to take care of it. Later, when driven from the garden, that baleful couple was told to till the earth in the sweat of their brow. Now they were expected to develop the potential of the earth. The Bible teaches that God made the world, but expects people to take care of it and develop it.

This inspired biblical principle has helped power the slow and painful progress of the human race from the age of agriculture to the present. God expects us to be creative and responsible guardians of the earth.

But along with this construction principle, the Bible offers two shrewd pieces of advice: (1) Respect the need for human communication in the progress of the work. (2) Don't become a,J work slave.

The first piece of advice is found in the story of the building of the tower of Babel. Thrilled with the discovered capacity to engineer and design a tall building, the people thought they might construct a tower that would reach right up into the heavens. As the路 story is told, God considered this an act of pride, for only He could truly bring man to heaven. To punish the people, He made them all speak different languages so they failed to communicate and were unable to finish the structure.

The story has three meanings: people cannot reach God by human power alone; secondly, this is a legendary tale to account for the diversity of languages in serious theological implications. the world; thirdly, work should The author of Psalm 8 has left not be so frantic, mammoth and us a beautiful meditation on this overwhelming that the workers truth, more like a cry of won- lose the human touch - especider, really: "When I behold your ally the capacity to communiheavens, the work of your fing- cate.

Meditation At Mass

By Alma Roberts Giordan This is the first Mass on a Sunday morning in July. In my small town parish church of St. John the Evangelist, I am the lone reader for the celebration.

There is a sense of warm togetherness among the few sleepy-eyed regulars. A boy of about 10 has been conscripted from the congregation to serve as acolyte. He is unfamiliar with the ritual, but he is learning with obvious delight what it means to be on the altar so close, so truly a part of the action. Who knows? He may one day replace the celebrant. There might be a stirring within his Fonzi-shirted breast.

And I, sitting back while the pastor expostulates on the Gospel, humanizing the classic story of five loaves and two fishes, wonder if that makeshift altar boy sees himself in the role of the lad who gave. up his picnic

lunch for that miraculous multiplication.

My gaze wanders out the open side door opposite my sanctuary chair. What's to be seen out there? Nothing ... to those who "have eyes to see, yet see not."

But with vision clear this fresh morning I observe a segment of God's precious handiwork. The grass is alive and green. Beyond, a maple branch makes a filagree pattern against blue sky.

Then I note the man-made wonders framed in that doorway. There is the concrete sirlwalk, glinting diamonds of mica. The rear end of a green car parked against the back of a neighboring building.

Out of sight in the maples a robin strikes up an anthem of praise. And suddenly, a terrible thought disturbs my tranquility - will man destroy this beautiful earth with his technology? Or will we remember in time that we are truly its stewards?

Escriv{ de Balaguer, ensinou a muita gente, como dt"cil instrlfmento de Deus, a "santificar 0 trabalho, santificar-se no trabalho, e santificar com 0 trabalho.: Conta ele que, em Burgos, durante a guerra civil espanhola, ao receber as confid~cia daqueles rapazes que dirigia espiritualmente, "gostava de subir a uma torre (da catedral), para que contemplassem de perto os remates, uma autentica harmonia em pedra, fruto de urn trabalho paciente, custoso. Nessas palestras f~ia-lhes notar que aquela maravilha rta(o se via do ch~. E para materializar 0 que com repetida frequencia lhes havia explicado, comentava-Ihes: isto (0 trabalho de Deus, a obra de Deus: acabar a tarefa pessoal, com perfei~~o, com beleza, com 0 primor destas delicadas figuras de pedra.

Compreendiam, perante essa realidade que • entrava pelos olhos, ~ue tudo aquilo era or~, urn formoso di~logo com 0 Senhor. Os que gastaram as suas energias nessa tarefa sabiam perfeitamente que dasruas da cidade ningu~m apreciaria 0 seu esfor~o. Era s~ para Deus. Entendes agora como a voca~o profissional pode aproximar de Deus? faz tu como aqueles canteiros e 0 teu trabalho ser' tamblm urn labor humano com entranhas e perfis divinos."

Para trabalhar bem devemos fazt-Io com compe~cia, com intensidade, com cons tancia, e com ordem. Compet~cia: pondo toda a nossa intelig~cia, pois nao somos simples passarinhos que ajeitam muito bern 0 ninho e daf nito passam. 0 progresso humano, 0 desenvolvimento da ci~ncia e p~ a render os talentos recebidos de Deus e a inteligencia ~ dos maiores que Ele deu ao homem. Usa-Ia nas tarefas que realizamos e aprender a faz~-las melhor: estudando, pedindo conselhos, tomando iniciativas, reflectindo, numa palavra, melhorando cada dia a formai'ro profissiona],. .

Depois, trabalhando com intensidade e const~ncia, n~o levando uma vi}a pregui,osa e mole. Assim fazia 0 Apostolo das . gentes. "Bern sabeis 0 que tendes a fazer para nos imitar. ~o temos vivido desre~ra­ damente, nem temos comido de grafa 0 p~o de ningu~m; como trabalho (fadiga lab~tamos noite e dial:' ~lidanao os que es~o' aonosso lado, se possJ.vel.

"OUR PRAYER FOR PEACE in the Middle East during Sunday liturgies assumes greater meaning when one has witnessed Israel's universal military preparedness and tight security precautions."

Israel and American Catholicism Continued from Page Twelve Secondly, a sense of pride in being Catholic seemed to disappear for many some time dur..;< ing the past decade. The numerical success and great enthusiasm of last summer's Eucharis-.

This Land Continued from Page Twelve sabbath rest. This puts perspective in our lives, gives us time to evaluate the work of our hands, machines and computers and should prevent us from creating a Frankenstein.

The Frankenstein story is more than an entertainment. It is a parable of what happens when our work ethic goes beserk. We create a monster and then it destroys us. We already have that potential in our hands. Our bombs can wipe us out. Our massive buildings are beehives of non-communication.

Unless we rest and pray and think, we may become the heedless victims of the work of our hands. Yes, God wants us to labor and build up His earth.

But He also wants us to love, pray, commune and relax. What could be more sensible?

tic Congress may very well have marked the reawakening of that spirit for countless persons.

Thirdly, the need for a constant renewal of our efforts in charity, inspired by examples of others like those in Israel, hardly requires an explanation.

Finally, we Catholics in the United States might examine our own observation of Sunday as a day for prayer and t:est. It appears that more and more stores will open on that day. However, how much of our purchasing is truly necssary? How many tasks could be anticipated or postponed? How serious are our intentions to make this a time for spiritual rejuvenation of individuals and families?

Trash Gets More Food Than Kids REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (NC) - The list of items in the North Pole News read like a menu of a sandwich shop, but the story was about waste, not consumption.

It concerned the students at Our Lady of Mount Carmel grade school who deposited the unused portion of their lunches in the garbage cans.

What made the practice unusual, the student newspaper discovered, was that much of the . food was never eaten.

Editor-in-chief Martha Mendez covered the story and this is the way she told it: "THERE SEEMS to be a mythology about the young.

"On April 27, 1977, Miss Sanders and I went to look for fruit They represent a fresh, clean page in human history.

LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT There you are Looking just the same as you did Last time I touched you And here I am Close to getting tangled up Inside the thought of you Do you love him As much as I love her Will that love be strong When old feelings start to stir Looks like we made it Left each other on the way To another love Looks like we made it Or I thought so until today Until you were there everywhere And all I could taste was love The way we made it Love's so strange Playing hide-and-seek With hearts and always hurting And we're the fools Standing close enough to touch those burning memories And if I hold you For the sake of aU those times Love made us lose our minds Could I ever let you go

by Richard Kerr/Will Jennings ( (p) 1976 Arista Records, Inc. BMI) ",Love's so strange," Barry Manilow is absolutely right.

Love is one of life's greater mysteries. No one knows why it happens, what makes it change over the years, or how it can be so crushing when it is not present.

Barry Manilow's song is about this mystery. Actually the title misleads 'you into thinking the theme is going -to -be simple. You expect Barry to sing that the two lovers are solid in their relationship with each other.

Not so.

He sings that it is a strange feeling to meet after both of them have become involved with new people. They have "left each other on the way to another love."

Since the story is not clear, it is difficult to say anything about what they should do. But the song does give us an opportunity to comment on the mystery of love.

It so often seems that love reveals something deep and personal which we have never known about ourselves. We stand before the fact that we do not know the whole story.

We are con~tantly discovering new combinations of feelings which come in each new love. We begin to suspect that the years bring profound changes in our lives and in those of the people we know.

I am reminded of the wisdom of the sage who once said that too much talk of love in too short a time is the way of the fool. It is the fool wh6 is not patient, who cannot 'wait for love to unfold its mysteries in its own time. U is the fool who thinks that love is simple.

ion, to do much about it. I can't believe that, but that it is greatly flawed I do believe and know.

There is a spiritual death being promoted in the land, through magazines, newspapers, movies and TV. A l2-year-old polled in a survey poignantly said, "Who can have heroes? They're just like us." There is a fundamental loss in the hearts of the young. They look around them and see the consuming of alcohol, the taking of drugs, the gratification of every sense, and they are sickened and helpless. To whom can they turn? Adults themselves seem to be part of the entire act.

To Christ The years of youth are stormy, like endless miles of western plains, with cyclones testing endurance. And when young peo-

pIe are too tired to run, to whom can they turn? To the "healers" who themselves need healing?

To those who themselves are too overwhelm!:d by the complexity of society?

By the thousands, youth are turning to Christ. The exhausted, though tJ:1ey fall, will "mount up with wings as eagles" through Him. All have the capacity to wing their way into a finer atmosphere because of Him.

Only Through Christ "The Assembly believes that an international order conformea to the will of God and establish·ed in His peace can be achieved only through the reconciliation which Christ makes possible." - The Evanston Report

IN THE DIOCESE

By BILL MORRISSETTE

Coaching Changes At Connolly High Coaching changes at Bishop Connolly High School have been announced by Brother Daniel Caron, F.I.C., the school's athletic director.

Frank Stranick, a commissioned officer in the United States Navy, has been appointed hockey coach and Al Greenhalgh will be volunteer assistant coach.

Stranick replaces Rev. Arthur Pare, S.J., who remains the school's soccer coach.

A native of Pottstown, Pa., the new Cougar hockey mentor graduated from Villanova University in 1963.

Stranick had previously served in the Navy and returned to. that branch of the service after his graduation from Villanova, pursuing his studies at the Aviation Officers' Candidate School in Pensacola, Florida.

After his commissioning in

1963 he attended the Naval War College in Newport, graduating last year. He is presently on the staff of the Naval War College! in the Center for War Gaming.

Stranick became involved in youth hockey while living in Greenwood, Nova Scotia. He was also associated with the sport in San Diego and Newport as a Bantam Division coach.

In Newport, he has been active in fund raising and team sponsorships and is the travel team coordinator.

He broadened his experience by attending the Cooper Coaches Clinic in San Diego and in East Greenwich, R.I. He also attended the Canl Am Coaches training school in Guelph, Ontario, and the International Hockey Coaches Symposium in Bellville, Ontario.

Father Pare came to Connolly in August, 1975, and 'brought to the position of hockey coach for the Cougars impressive credentials including a three-year stint as coach at Cranwell Prep School, Lenox, Mass.

At Cranwell, he piloted its

hockey teams to a pair of 12-3 seasons and two second-place finishes in the Berkshire League.

Bob Kelly, of Immaculate Conception, was named Most Valuable Player, in the CYO allstar game at Lafayette Park, Fall River, last Sunday night: Kelly was named first-baseman on the diocesan all-star team along with Mike Medeiros, S1. Joseph, second base; Mark Ferreira EspiFito Santo, shortstop; Mike Gelinas, Holy Name, New Bedford, third-base; Dan Ciullo, Sacred Heart, right field; ,Peter Pappas, Somerset, cf; Bob Brodeur, Central Catholic, If; Dave Morgado, Kennedy, catch; and Steve Pereira, Somerset,

pitch, completing the area team.

Kelly, Ferreira, Gelinas, Ciullo were on the Eastern Division team, Pappas, Brodeur, Morgado, Pereira and Medeiros on the Western squad. Except for Holy Name and Somerset, the other teams mentioned are from Fall River.

East defeated West, 6-3, in 10 innings. A bases-loaded single

by Holy Name's Paul Sladewski drove in two runs to give East a 5-3 edge. Kelly followed this up with a run-producing single that made the final score 6-3.

Mike Starosiak, of St. Stanislaus, who pitched the last four innings for East was credited with the victory.
