Annual Peter's Pence Appeal Aug. 2-3 In a letter read last weekend throughout the Diocese announcing the annual Peter's Pence collection that will be taken up in all the churches and chapels this Saturday evening and Sunday, Bishop Cronin urged all to continue their cooperation and generosity in this Holy Year of 1975 when the focus of attention of . the Catholic faithful is so completely directed toward Rome and the Holy Father.

The letter follows: We are more than half way through the Holy Year of Renewal and Reconcialiation. While the fruits of such a celebration are ordinarily quite difficult to assess, nonetheless there are definite signs of a spiritual leaven, quietly and effectively working in the Church. Time magazine only recently devoted a lengthy article to the Holy Year and to its external success.

Earlier during the Holy Year, I had the great privilege and pleasure of leading a Diocesan Pilgrimage to Rome. In the pilgrms' ranks were clergy, l religious and laity from all sections of the Diocese, representatives of the whole People of God in this portion 6f the Lord's Vineyard.

As countless pilgrims down through the long centuries have done, so did we, return to the Eternal City where Peter and Paul preached the Gospel and shed their martyrs' blood. We gathered in audience to receive the message and the blessing of Peter'sPOPE

Rev. Paul E. Canuel Joins St. James Mission Society Most Rev. Daniel A. Cronin, Bishop of the Diocese of Fall River, today announced that Rev. Paul E. Canuel, assistant pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, Seekonk, has been released from duty in the Diocese of Fall River to assume missionary duties with the St. James the Apostle Society in South America.

Father Canuel, the son of Robert M. and Beatrice Belanger Canuel of St. Michael's Parish, Swansea, was born on Dec. 15,

FATHER CANUEL

1940 in FaIl River. He attended St. Roch's Parochial Schoool, Fall River and St. Michael's Swansea. FoIlowing graduation from Msgr. Prevost High School, he attended Assumption College, Worcester for one year and then entered St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore.

Ordained on May 21, 1966 in St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River

by Most Rev. James L. Connolly, retired Bishop of the Diocese, Father Canuel served as an assistant pastor at Blessed Sacrament Parish, Fall River; St. Patrick's, Wareham; Immaculate Conception, Fall River and for the last six years in his presentassignment at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Seekonk.

Father Canuel becomes the third priest from the Diocese of Fall River to serve in So. Amerka as a member of St. James the Apostle Society. Rev. James E. Murphy of the Spanish Speaking Apostlate for the Taunton-Attleboro area served in Santa Cruz and Laguardia, both in Bolivia, from 1966-1971 and Rev. Donard A. Bowen, former assistant at St. Patrick's' Somerset and St. Mary's, Norton entered the St. James Society in October 1973 and is now laboring in the vineyard of Paria, high up in the Bolivian Andes of So. America.

Successor, Pope Paul VI, and I know ~at all present counted it as the most precious memory of the trip. For the Holy Father is the . sign of unity; as Vicar of Christ on earth, he stands as our spiritual leader, our principal Shepherd.

Annually, Catholic people manifest their devotion and loyalty fo the Holy Father at the time of the Peter's Pence Collection, in which our offerings constitute a tangible sign of our solidarity. In this -Holy Year, when the focus of attention of the Catholic faithful is so completely directed toward Rome and to the Holy Father, I am pleased to 'commend this Collection to your special generosity..

The taking up of the Peter's Pence Collection provides us all with a special occasion to commend the intentions of Pope Paul VI to Almighty God in prayers of particular fervor. On this weekend and next, I would ask you to remember the Holy Father in your good prayers and ask God's abundant blessings and graces for him.

With prayerful good wishes, and grateful for your cooperation and generosity, I remain Devotedly yours in Christ,

Report Over 8,400 Ticket Requests For Seton Canonization Received ROME (NC)-More than 8,400 requests for tickets to the canonization of Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton here in Sept. 14 have been received from the United States, the Rome secretariat for the event said.

"This figure exceeds our previous estimates," said Vincentian Father WHiiam Sheldon, director of the secretariat, in an interview with NC News. "Six weeks ago, we had processed about 4,500 requests. Now we estimate a total of around 10,000 Americans will be com·ing."

The increasing numbers have required some changes to larger quarters for some of the events scheduled. On Monday, Sept. 15, the tribute to Mother Seton,' which will feature an address by U. S. Caardinal John Wright, will be held in the Center for Prayer and Meditation at the Catacombs of San Callisto.

The triduum scheduled for Sept. 16-18 will be held at the Basilica of St. PauI's-outside-thewalls..

Among tbe Americans expected for the canonization are five cardinals, 60 bishops, 400 priests and more than 1,000 Sisters.

John A. Volpe:U. S. Ambassador to Italy, and Henry Cabot Lodge, presidential envoy to the Pope, have been invited and are expected to attend.

Unemployment Continued from Page One questions as to whether or not the Administration is concerned about the eight million people currently &uffering unemployment."

He said he was hopeful that the U. S. bishops' conference would address the issue at its next meeting in November. He said his office would be dealing with the issue legislatively and at the 'local level between now and then.

Meany told the full employment conference that the official unemployment figures of 9.2 per cent and 8.5 million people did not reflect the 1.1 million people who were so discouraged that they had given up job seeking, or the 3.9 million people who were working part time because they could not find fulltime jobs.

Meany said that when the Employment Act of 1946 was signed committing the federal government to a policy of maximum employment, full employment was defined as three per cent unemployment - allowing for those temporarily out of work because of job changes or moving from one part of the country to another.

"Nothing has happened since that time, in my opinion, that makes that definition any less valid today," .he said. But he charged the Administration with "fakery" for trying to redefine "full employment" at five to six per cent unemployment.

Father Dirvin will arrive in Rome Aug. 1 to open a press office for the canonization in the Hotel Cicerone, said Father Sheldon.

"There is a possibility that all three American TV networks will film parts of the canonization," said Father Sheldon. "This is not yet definite, but we are working on it."

The Salesians of Turin, Italy, have prepared a film-strip on the life of the new saint.

Fr. Bouchard Continued from Page One he went to he went to Tell-el· He&i which is in the Shephelyah, or roothills, of Israel. He was one of 50 volunteers who joined a group of 30 professionals in the fields of archeology, geology, botany, and ostialogy in an accheological excavation, commonly called a "dig."

Rev. Philil J. King, then professor of Biblical Studi.es at St. John's Seminary, Brighton and homilist at Father Bouchard's First Ma&s on May 14, 1972 in St. Joseph's Church, New Bedford was administrative director of the "dig." .

The biblical importance of the site excavated arises from the fact that it is thought to be the location of biblical Eglon. This was 'a Canaanite city allied with Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, and Lachish and defeated with these cities by Joshua as he and the Israelites fought their way into the Promised Land. (Joshua 10; 3ff; 12:12) Father Bouchard was ordained on May 13, 1972 by Bishop Cronin in S1. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River.

During his assignment to St. Jo&eph's Parish, Taunton, Father Bouchard served on the staff for Pre-Cana Conferences.

He is also a member of the Priests' Senate and during the past year served as treasurer for the organization and was named representative to NFPC.

Pope Paul Urges Gospel Approach To Social Ills

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River -Thurs. July 31, 1975

Thought on a Hot Day A slow stroll by a department store is enough to pull one up short.

Here in the midst of Summer the fashions being featured are those of Fall. And the reminder that school is just around the corner is enough to bring anxiety to the wisest freshman-to-be..

The gimmick, of course, is that store's are in business to make money, not a bad thing at all. But the added pressure is that people must rush out to buy because another season might find them with all the wrong things to wear.

The watchword of merchandising seems to be "change."

Everything - from clothes to cars to toothpaste to soap powder - is labelled with the word "new.'l Apparently the thought doesn't cross anyone's mind that if this "new" product or additive or model is so far superior to anything that went before, why not wait for the stilI newer product.

Or in what dreadful way was the exploitation with the older and 'presumably vastly inferior product. .

Perhaps the words of Lord Glasgow might be of some help amid the pitch for change. Glasgow wrote, "All change is not growth as all movement ,is not forward."

That might be a sobering thought when contemplating Fall and Winter fashions on, a hot and humid July day.

TV Danger A dozen years ago, the then chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Newton N. Minow, waS asked 'about television's greatest problem. He answered, "If I were asked to put my finger on TV's toughest problem I'd put all four fingers, and my thumb, down on one spot television for children and young people. In America today children under 12 spend 70,000,000 hours a day watching t.elevision."

Well, all this was a dozen years ago, and the hours have increased and the problem is stilI a problem.

In some areas the violence has been toned own. But there has been an increase in other dangers-the ridicule more subtle now, of ethical values; the flaunting, as enter- tainment, of the vulgar and the coarse; the endless and tireless discussions, in the name of openness and freedom, of the most perverted types of behavior.

Familiar Words /

"Children now love luxury, have bad manners, contempt for authority, show disrespect for elders, and love to chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants and not slaves of the household. They no longer rise when an elder enters the room, they contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up the food at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

The words have a familiar ring. They could be taken from any article on juvenile delinquency. They could be from any sociological report on home and family or the school. They could be the verbatim recordOf' the outpourings of ,an irate father or mother. No reader of tOday's newspaper would be at all surprised at reading them as the comments of a contemporary, speaker.

The fact is that these words are a direct quotation of the Athenian philosopher Socrates and were written by him some twenty-four hundred years ago.

All of which shows that children have not changed too much over the centuries, or else their parents' criticism of them tends to run along the same lines.

Something must be done about the courts and with the judges in particular. "Judges throughout the United States are afraid to enforce criminal law" stated the Attorney General. A frequent critic of the courts the Attorney General has often cdticized judges for failing to send repeated offenders to prison.

However this was the first time he has contended that ju)ges are afraid to enforce criminal law.

Certainly the words of a man in this position as the highest law enforcement officer in this country must not be taken lightly. To be sure, there are' some that in tlirn would criti-

cize his expertise and experience in his position as Attorney General of the United States.

However Mr. Levi, a well known scholar, was approved by the Senate of the United States to this high position in order to restore integrity and completeness to this office.

There were few voices of disapproval offered when his name was placed in nomination as Attorney General.

Theefore we ought to assume that he is a man who has no axe to grind or who is speaking out of both sides of his mouth for the sake of politics. His ob-

VATICAN CITY (NC) - To combat groaning social ills, Christians must give fresh expression to the Gospel instead of adopting anti-religious social solutions Pope Paul VI said July 23.

Asking Cathaolics at his outdoor weekly general audience to rekindle in themselves a "sense of the Church," Pope Paul said: "There i!> no need to borrow fr0m anti-religious social formu路las based on conflict in order "0 find the wisdom and energy to bring about the good which needs to be done, as well as just reforms for human development and the continuing affirmation of justice and peace.

"But there is a need and a duty to express in original Christian terms the human and !>ocial views of the Second Vatican Council's teaching on the Church, the Pope said.

The Pope then praised a recent document of the bishops of the Italian region of Lombardy for uring a "rediscovery of the originality and wealth of Christian inspiration in the cultural, social and political fields."

Sense of Belonging The Pope's audience talk was seen as a call to Italian Catholics to turn the tide of communi!>t gains in Italy. The document of the Lombardy bishops which Pope Paul quoted from and praised was a stinging denunciation of communist gains in the June regional Italian elections. Vatican observers further interpreted the papal denunciation of "anti-religious social formulas based on conflict". to be a reference to Marxism.

If this is the case and it truly seems to be the situation even when one then the legal structure in this hten the legal structure in this country is truly in need of' reo form especially with reference to the courts and the appointment of judges.

If judges are afraid to deal with criminals who repeatedly flaunt the law and thus endanger the common good, then they should be removed from their position. In addition such an office that supposedly protects, upholds and enforces the laws of this land should not be handed out as spoils of political victory. The concept that judges hold life tenure in itself also gives them a personal security and defense that often has the habit of leading to complacency and acquiescence.

If this then indeed is the situation as indicated by the Attorney General of the United States, then it is about time that a new method of judicial appointments, be created along with strict measures that would insure the observance of crim- ' inal prosecution, that would not only lower the crime rate bu't also safeguard the rights' and privileges of the ordinary citizens of this land.

Aid .Amounted to $46 Million HONG KONG (NC) - The total value of the Hong Kong program of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the overseas aid agency of U. S. Catholics, was more than $46 million over the past 20 years, 'said Miss Pauline MacGuire, ORS program director here.

Starting with a food program for the flow of refugees from mainland China who began to stream into Hong Kong following the Chinese communist takeover in 1949, it evolved into . projects providing acutely needed housing, hospitals, clinics and yoth centers. Additionally, with the aid of CRS' emigration service, thousands of refugees have .

emigrated to the United States and other countries.

Miss MacGuire, recently re·turned from Thailand where CRS had asked her to assist in the emigration and relief of refugees from Cambodia, said that $50,000 had been provided through CRS to purchase food and other needs for the refugees in camps. ",Fortunately," she added, "before I left Thailand, the Catholic Council for Thai Development, a counterpart agency, agreed to take over the responsibility for the care of the refugees and to continue the program supported by funds from CRS."

Miami Hispanos: Nominal Catholics MIAMI (NC)-The problem is not that Spanish-speaking Cath· olics in Miami convert to other religions, but that they need to know the Gospel better.

This is one of the main conclusions reached by a study of the Archdiocese of Miami on tho:) impact and challenge of Cubans and other Latin American immigrants who have increased the Spanish-speaking population in the area from 40,000 in 1958 to nearly 500,000 today.

The study, written by Msgr.

Bryan O. Walsh, a former vicar for the Spanish-speaking people, was prompted by reports published in the general press that from 40,000 to 60,000 parishioners had joined Protestant denominations or Afro-Cuban cults in the past decade.

"The issue is not one of active Catholics leaving the Church in Miami, but rather one of what the Church must do to evangeli· ize the great mass of Spanishspeaking people who have little more than a nominal relationship with the institutional Church," the study said.

"This does not mean that they do not have the faith or that they lack sincerity, but rather that they lack proper education and training in the teachings of the Church."

Estimates of the Spanishspeaking population range from

400,000 to 600,000, because no agency keeps an up-to-date count, the study said. The population includes Cuban refugees, native-born Americans, naturalized immigrants, refugees from Latin America, and illegal aliens.

In addition there is a yearly influx of more than 400,000 tourists from Latin America.

The movement of this popula· tion around Dade County makes it difficult to tend to their needs, the study said.

The study gave a detailed account of the facilities, programs and services provided for Spanish-speaking Catholics by the Miami archdiocese. It 'has opened new parishes, it has increased the number of Spanish-speaking priests and nuns assigned to their care, it established bilingual programs in its schools and communications, and it has maintained centers for refugees and for the care of other migrants. A strong lay apostolate is making steady progress, particularly among the middle class, the study said.

Tl)e study added that about 90 per cent of the estimated half million Hispanos may be at least "nominal Catholics," and added that the reported 40,000 to 60,-' 000 "conversions" to Protestantism or to Lucumi, the most prominent of Afro·Cuban rites, were open to question. One

source of such reports was the casual remark of an unnamed Protestant pastor who had no research to support it.

For only $200 in India you can build a decent house for a family that now sleeps on the sidewalks. Simply send your check to us. Cardinal Parecattil will write to thank you also.

The va,rious Protestant denominations in Miami - Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and several Pentecostal groups-showed a total Spanishspeaking membership of 8,600 in 1970, according to a re'port prepared fOT the National Council of.

Churches by Lloyd Knox, a Methodist minister.

Since then, nearly . 190,000 Spanish-speaking persons have come to ~iami and sqme undoubtedly wer,e Protestants. But whether by migration or conver· sion, an increase from 8,600 to 60,000 or even 40000 seems "a gross exaggeration," the study said.

The answer is easy: they welcome the opportunity to do something needed where it's needed.

Sometimes. besides, they build the church in memory of their loved ones, name it for their favorite saint. ... Where is a new church needed?

In hundreds of towns and villages in our 18 country mission world: In Karinthottuva, for instance, the poor farmers h.ave only a tiny shed in which to worship. They raised $500 from their own paltry income to build a church. but it is not enough. You can build a church for them all by yourself for as little as $3,000.

You'll be doing something needed where it's needed, for Christ-and for people who cannot do for themselves.... Do something at least, as much as you can ($100, $75, $50, $25, $20, $15, $10, $5, $3, $1) to help build this church. Your· gift of any size will be a Godsen,d! ... Have you been looking for something meaningful to do? Help these people build a simple but lasting church. The Bishop will write to thank you on behalf of his people. We will send you a sketch of the proposed church, when we thank you.

NotreDome Nuns Superior Named

Bic路ent1e,nnial Commercialism May Start N'ew R'ev,olution .

ROME (NC)-Sister Mary Linscott of Great Britain was reelected superior general of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur during the general chapter of the congregation here July 22: Almost one-hal.f of the congregation's 4,800 members work in the United States where they have six proviikes and 2,300 Sisters. , Among her higher studies Sister Linscott earned an M.A. in religious education at the Catholic University of America in WaShington, D. C. She is the authoress of several books, most recently "Teilhard Today," published in Liverpool, England, in 1972.

It may even cause a second revolution before it's al1 over.

By MARY CARSON Perhaps the worst example I've seen so far is an- ad promoting exhibition space in a building jw;t one block froin Independence Hall in Philadelphia. As a citizen of the United States I consider Independence Hatl a sacred place, in much the same way that as a Catholic I revere the Vatican.

This ad says that 35 million tourists will visit the Philadel,phia area during the bicentennial. Those who rent space in this building presumably will be able to capitalize in the traffic t-o Independence Hall.

That's bad enough but the illustration in the ad is a drawing of a man wearing a colonial three-ornered hat, and a pair of Ben Franklin bifoca'ls. Nothing else. The ad's headline reads "EXPOSE YOURSELF." I think that kind of thing will send more decent U. S. citizens to Canada than the Viet Nam war.

vance. Now I know why they went out of style. They look silly. ' Another bank is running an ad on TV showing a colonial horseman riding through the streets of a present-day city to their bank. This is supposed to impress the viewer with the idea that this bank has been in business for a long time.

It may be my warped way of looking at things but my impression is that if they think their customers are still riding horses they aren't the people I'd go to for a car loan.

The silly stuff is not so bad as the more offensive approaches, but it is still an affront to a person's inteIligence', Modern Tea Party I just saw a TV commercial in which an actor in colonial dress is standing in front of his little log cabin. He foresees the day when great factories will be built where he is standing, and then proceeds to do a sales pitch for a product produced by one of these factories.

It must have driven me off the deep end. I decided I'd like to see the Redcoats come over the hill and destroy these factories for polluting the airwave~.

Stresses Msgr. McHugh Discusses Reasons For Marital Breakdowns W ~SHINGTON (NC)~In the face of an "atmosphere of permissive divorce" in the United States the Church must "strongly emphasize that marriage is meant to be a permanent union," according to an official of the National Conference of Catholic Bislhops. (NCCB).

In a statement reflecting on recently published national divorce statistics, Msgr. James McHugh, the NCCB's secr~tary for pro-life affairs, suggested strong'ly that selfishness or an inability to give or love might be -among the primary reasons for marital breakdowns'.

He noted that the U. S. divorce rate has nearly doubled within a decade, from 2.3 divorces per 1,000 married couples in 1963 to 4.4 per 1,000 in 1973.

Experts, he said, provide various explanations, with some -citing the increased independence of women because of smaller family size and increased educational and employment opportunities, while others 'cite other causes:: "the greater social acceptance of divorce, the . relaxa'tion. of opposition to divorce by some religious groups, greater equality among the sexes' and the reform of divorce aws."

Urging a strong Church stand on the permanence of marriage, ' Msgr. McHugh said, "It is meant to be a mutuaI partnership in which each person develops his or her human attributes and talents, and in which each partner contributes to the stability of the union.

This requires "mutual respect, fidelity and an investment of self," he said, and "considerable input and sacrifice by both partners, the development of com路 munication and intimacy, and the common sense to recognize that satisfaction is proportioned to ,the mutual effort involved."

He also scored. a purely selfcentered approach to marriage agreeing: "Marriage will not endure as

a closed relationship. Couples must be open to childbearing and childrearing, to the needs of aging parents and relatives, and to a more geneml responsibility to improve the society of which they are a part."

Affirming a belief in the endurance and adaptability of the family, the NCCB official said, "Many of the circumstances of contemporary life that are frequently described as threats to marriage - education, mobility, ,increased equality for women, changes in the perception of marital roles-can in fact be highly supportive of the family to ,adapt to new challenges is the greatest assurance that the family will outlive its crHics. And it will do so not by giving way to every new alternative structure, but by maximizing its capacity to meet the' perennial human needs for intimacy, community and independence from the overall society."

Sister Linscott is serving her second term as president of the International Union of Superiors General. She participated in the world Synod of Bishops in Rome in 1971 and 1975 and is a member of the Central Committee for the Holy Year.

Government Expelling Two Spanish Nuns LA PAZ ,NC)-The Bolivian Intenior Ministry said here two Spanish nuns and a lay missionary wiU be expelIed for aiding a group of miners and farmworkers to hold a political meeting at Oruro.

The military government of Gen. Hugo Banzer has since November banned all party and trade union activities, including the once powerful Bolivian Workers' Federation.

Chur'ch sources said here Cardinal Clemente Maurer of Sucre made a strong protest to government officials, because the nuns were ar,rested during a raid on the church of Agua de Castil.Ja in Oruro without previous consultation with diocesan authorities.

After -a rash of government raids on Church properties during 1973 and 1974, allegedly to repress subversives seeking asylum, the bishops asked Gen. Banzer to notify them of any suspected illegal activiti~s by Chu,rch personnel so they could conduct an impartial investigation. The government agreed to do so.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Representatives of voluntary agencies acting in resettling Indochina refugees criticized ·the Administration, Congress and state governments in their handling of the refugees.

Appearing before the House immigration subcommittee, the voluntary agency representatives generally praised the intergovernmental Task For'Ce work· ing with the refugees. But they said the other levels of government had not performed well.

Wells Klein, executive director of the American Council for Nationalities Service, said the Task Force has shown "imagination and sensitivity" in solving problems, "not always with understanding and support from higher levels of the Administration.

"We haven't heard much coming out of the Administration" in support of the resettlement program since the President's first strong speech on the subject, Klein said.

Another area of concern, he said, "is the laissez-faire attituae which assumes that· once a refugee leaves a camp the private sector takes over complete responsibility.

"For example, the use of public assistance tends to be viewed as an index of failure. Realistically, public assistance is an essential ingredient of the total program, and the Congress wisely provided this back-up support."

Knights of Malta Provide Medical Help for Holy Year Pilgrims ROME (NC)-Since the beginning of the 1975 Holy Year, more than 1,500 visitors to the Vatican who have fallen ill have been treated by medical teams provided by the Knights of Malta in a fully equipped dispensary just off St. Peter's Square.

The teams come from 10different countries. One from England is supported by a nonCatholic branch of the Knight~ of Malta which is fully recognized by the order. Among its members are some CathoUc nursing Sisters.

An official of the Knights of Malta told NC News: "Our teams have treated every kind of emergency. Heat prostration is the most common, of course.

But we have saved people with heart attacks, epileptic seizures and every kind of fracture imaginable.

The Knights of Malta were founded in 1113. Their long record of works of charity is COntinued today in more than 65 countries where they provi.de hospitals, dispensaries, ambulances and other medical and humanitarian services.

Out of a membership of about 6,000, 1,000 Knights of Malta are Americans.

"We also got three women to the hospital when they began labor pains. We probably depc>ived three infants of the unusual distinction of being born during a papal a\ldience."

The dispensary of the Knights of Malta is open every day from 7 in the morning to 7 at night.

When there is a large gathering at another time, the dispensary remains open as long as crowds remain in the square.

Each team includes at least one doctor, two nurses, four assistants and an ambulance. All the workers are volunteers.

Many not only donate their time, but NY all their own expenses.

"There are those who have assert~d that the whole 'commercial' aspect of the Holy Year is monopolized by the Central Committee and is concentrated 'within the Vatican walls,' while the crisis of tourism in the city of Rome and in Italy is not being in the least alleviated by the influx of pilgrims," the Vatican Central Committee for the Holy Year said.

According to the committee, only 7,000 beds were furnished by these institutions instead of the 12,000 which were expected.

Even these, the committee said, buy their supplies from Roman and Italian merchants.

NAIROBI (NC)-"I never intended to be a pilot," said Sister Sean Underwood, a Medical Missionary of Mary from Winchester, Mass.

But for the past seven years Sister Underwood has been flying a small Cessna 182 around the arid Turkana region in northern Kenya, bringing supplies to remote clinics and health ,centers, and flying patients to and from hospitals.

The American nun had been training as a nurse in Drogheda, fIreland, eight years ago when a team of private donors bought the plane for her order's use in Kenya. She interrupted her nurse's training for six weeks to major trip was flying the plane from Ireland to Kenya.

As the sole pilot of the Cessna, which is the most practical means of transportation¡ in the vast, desert-likEJ area, Sister Underwood has been the chief carrier of supplies and personnel for the network of clinics and stations run by the Medical Missionaries of. Mary.

The order of nursing Sisters was invited into Kenya by the government in the 1960s when a serious drought hit Turkana, killing thousands, of livestock.

Since then the Sisters have developed a' network of small stations to provide health care in the remote areas where the central government has not yet been able to provide hospitals and other social services.

Supporters Fear Threat Booklet Offers Aid to Bewildered Parents To United Nations Survival Unsure of Chu~ch Teachings Nearly 10 years have passed since Pope Paul VI made his historic visit to the United Nations-a pilgrimage which, ,Is there a Ca~hol'ic parent who doesn't wonder what to teach momentarily at least, lifted' the spirits of mankind and his children about the Church? held out some measure of hope that the nations of th~ Or what the Church herse'lf is world, at long last, :r;night teaching nowadays?

8y

MSGR. GEORGE G. HIGGINS time when it badly needed such support and his prayerful hope, in the words of his predecessor Pope John XXUI, that the time might ,come "'as quickly as possible when every human being wilt find therein an effective safeguard for the rights which derive directly from his dignityas a person, and which are therefore universal, inviolable and inalienable rights."

Pubic reaction to Pope Paul's UN message was almost universally enthusiastic. Even those who had become cynical about -the United Nations--'and there were many such in Catholic circles at that time - must have been moved, if not converted, by the earnes-tness of the Holy Father's support for the organization which, for all its limita,tions, he obviously looked upon as the world's last best hope for peace.

In Serious Trouble As of today, however, I rather suspect that if the Pope were to make a second visit to the UN and were to reaffirm his support for the organization, he would receive a much less favorable hearing and might even be written off by some as a naive and somewhat romantic idealist.

In other wor~s, the UN is today in serious trouble - so much so that even some of its staunohest supporters a,re beginning to fear that it may not be able to survive.

The reason for this ominous shift in public opinion is all too obV'ious. Increasingly in recent years reckless attempts have been made by some of the Arab nations and their allies in the s()-Called Third World to manipulate the organization and its specialized agencies, not in the interest of world peace, but to their own short-sighted political advantage. More specifically, they seem to have set their sights on driving the State of Israel out of the United Nations -in flagrant violation of the UN Charter and regardless of the consequence, which could, of course, be disastrous even, or especially, from the point of view of their own self interest.

The Arab nations and their Third World allies launched their relentless attack on Israel in the UN General Assembly last year

Scientific and Cultural Organization.

This year they moved against Israel at the annual conference of the International Labor Organization. They also forced the World Health Organization to condemn Israel, and passed a resolution against "Zionism" at the International Women's Year Conference in Mexico City.

Growing Concern Now the word is out that, having gotten away with these outrageous moves against Israel, they may be prepared to go for broke at the next meeting of the UN General Assembly by demanding that the State of Israel be expelled from the organization. There is growing concern among UN. officials and world diplomats-as well there might be-that suoh a move on the part of the Arab-Third World bloc could result in the destruction of the UN as it is now known. According to a special report in the July 15 issue of the Washington. Post, these UN officials and diplomats envision votes on the General Assembly floor this year leading to the suspension of Israeli participation, a walk-out by the American delegation, a cutoff of UN funds by the US Congress, and perhaps fund cuts by Western European nations.

"For the first time," an American diplomat said, "I can visualize the destruction of the UN as we know it-its transformation into the Third Wor,ld Congress."

This is a frightening prospect at a time when the United Nations is more badly needed than ever before. One can only hope and pray that the Arab-Third World bloc will have a radical change of heart between now and the next meeting of the General Assembly. On the other hand, if worst come to worst, the United States will have no alternative but to support the State of Israel and, if necessary, walk out of the General Assembly.

'Sound in Faith' NEW 'YORK (NC)-The recently former Confraternity of Catho'1,jc Clergy (CCG) is· an expression of "dissatisfaction at the widespread free-swinging errors that many of the clergy pr'opagate," one of tlhe .ol1ganizers of the confraternity told NC News here. Jesuit Father John H. Ryder, chaplain to a community of cloistered Ukrainian nuns here, said the purpose of the COCis to enable pr,iesfs 'around ·the country who are "sound in faith" to ",get to know one another." The CCC is intended for the "mutua'l recogni·tion and strengthening" of such priests, he sa:id.

Anymore." Written by Rev. Dennis J. Geaney O.S.A., who belongs to the same Baltimore Catechism generation as most parents, it doesn't pretend to give the sure and certa'in answers that were the old Church's stock in trade, but it's amazingly helpful, if only to confirm the suspicion ·that everyone's a searcher these days. ,It's not surprising, says Father Geaney, that many parents feel uncertain ahout their beliefs.

After 20 centuries of teaching. the Church has responded with great variety from place to place 'and age to age to the questions of human existence. A whole li-' brary couldn't list everything the church has ever taught.

"Obviously, there is a hierarchy of beliefs, not only in our own lives, but in the Church's own formulation of what it considers its' faith," Father Geaney writes.

He recalls that as a child he w~s comforted by the popular . devotion to the guardian angel.

Today the feast has been dropped from the liturgy and few references are heard to guardian angels.'

Throughout the world, a new catalog of what's important to believe is being worked out.

Father Geaney urges parents to ask themselves what they believe "so passionately that if it ceased to be a reality you could no longer exist."

Children are not fooled by platitudes from the past. "If all you ha·ve is what you have been taught to believe about God, then you have no living tradition to affirm. You will have no credibility with your children.

You sound like a used-car salesman or the good bureaucrat who says what he is expected to s-ay. You will have no faith to transmit, only creeds, codes, and formulas."

Even 'in .the contemporary world it's not impossible to pass on deeply held values to children if adults can find "appropriate symbols for what we experience." l1he responsibilities- of life give parents a degree of natural wisdom and authority. Children are alert to the real feelings of their parents. "Affirmation of our past is a source of security to those who live with us."

If parents avoid orating like a "museum curator or a sovereign pontiff," they can proclaim their beliefs by living them. .

Not every-thing in adult experience is worth transmitting. In fact,. parents should also be prepared to learn from their children.

"If parents realize that they live in a strange culture and. if parents try to be gracious wHh their: children, they may become privy to its secrets."

'Parents' can't ignore changing attitudes toward sex and famiiy Hfe. "Plain talk and openness are indeed values of the new

Finds Many Goo.d Things In Paulist Father's Book Tw;o young men relate their respective ordeals in a pair of new books. One author is Father James Carroll, a Paulist, whose book is titled The Winter Name of God (Sheed and Ward, 64 University Pl., New York, N.Y. 10013.

187 pages., $6.95). The other is Pat Jordan, and his book is ing in touch with the wod of and for the challenge, the A False Spring (Dodd, Mead, Jesus, forgiveness, and the nurture 79 Madison Ave., New York, which the Church provides. And N, Y, 10016. 277 pages. $7.95).

In the winter of 1973, Father Carroll tells us, he finally dared to look at what he had become.

By RT. REV. MSGR. JOHN S. KENNEDY

Religious, he could not seem to pray. A priest, he found the Church alien in its concerns. He was a believer in God. but "the words of the old creed rang hollow even as I !'laid them."

In the late 1960s he had considered himself a member of "the new breed. the new community, the new politics." The new breed was going to end the Vietnam war, change the Church, reform the world so that it could never go wrong again. "We were rebirth itself," he says.

But then he adds. "We were fools." He speaks of "the deadly irrational resentment again!'lt other people that each of us car'ried in his heart ... We bertayed each other of,tin without even knowing it. We broke promises.

We formed the habit of divorce. ... We each went our own way.

We became private heroes, tough oners, pure but untouched."

Challenge, Forgiveness Suffering disillusionment and doubt, Father Carroll got an opportunity to spend the summer of 1'973 in Israel, at a monastery between Bethlehem' where Je!'lus was born, and Jerusalem. where Jesus died. Perhaps in that land he might discover Jesus.

Most of the book is devoted to his reflections during that summer. At· one point he observes, "Reading over thi!'l, I know that most of it is heresy, some of it i!'l absurd, and all of it is true." This reviewer suspects that not a little in the book is heresy or close' to her-. esy, finds that some of it is absurd, cannot agree that all of it is true, although all of it is certainly honest.

Father Carroll rightly notes that there have been changes in religous consciousness in the course of the history of Christianity and within the Church.

There is a tendency for religious thinking, as weB as religious institutions, to became fossilized.

When this happens, there has to be revitalization, and this process can have a revolutionary character.

W·hat he attempted is to think the Gospel through anew, almost as if there were no such thing as valid tradition or an authoritative Church as a, means of keep-

he hopes that the Catholic Church will survive the massive cultural and religious realignment which he sees taking place.

Sincere, Frank When I said above that all of what Father Carroll writes is honest, I meant that it is sincere and frank. He does not dissemble: He does nl(t disguise' his experience and conclusions. But he can be breathtakingly silly, as. for example, when he remarks of Jesus, "A good man, no doubt.

Free from sin, perhaps."

Father Carroll based his meditations on St. John's Gospel.

Yet he can say that Jesus "Learned what he knew of God, even what of God he was in himself, from and with and through the men and women who shared his time and place."

But how does that jibe with these words of Jesus, found in St. John's Gospel, "I tell you most solemnly, before Abraham ever was, I Am"?

Father Carroll is given to arbitrary assertions which badly flaw his book. This is regrettable, since there are many good things in it, not least the examination of his relationships. with his father, mother, and brothers.

Bonus Pitcher Pat Jordan, in A False Spring, describes his very brief career in professional baseball. He was a pitching sensation while in high school. Big league scouts had him under observation then.

In 1959, when he was 18, he signed with the Milwaukee Braves. AII told, the bonus he received came to more than $45,000. After three dreadful years in the minor leagues, he was branded a failure.

He was assigned to the Braves' Class D team, at McCook, Neb., in the Nebraska State League.

His season there was unsuccessful. Then he was sent to the Braves' minor league spring training camp at Waycross, Ga. Later came stays with another Class D team at Davenport, Iowa, and other lowly teams in the Braves' farm system, ending up at Palatka, Fla. "Palatka," he says, toward the end of the. book, "was the last place where I played professional baseball."

Pending Legislation in Congress Sets Honor for Famed Jesuit. Explorer As the nation gears up to celebrate its 200th birthday. there is legislation pending in Congress to commemorate' the 300th anni· versary of the death of a famous pioneer missionary - explorer, Father Jacques Marquette.

The French Jesuit priest died May 18, 1675, along the eastern , shores of Lake Michigan near the river that still bears his name.

The Catholic Church has not canonized him but he has become something of a national hero, particularly in the Great Lakes .and Mississippi regions of' th2 country. His contributions to American history will be honored during the bicentennial celebration by'the building of a Father Marquette National Memorial in St. Ignace, Mich.

In 1965 the U. S: Congress established a Father Marquette Tercentenary Commission "to develop and execute suitable plans for the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the advent and subsequent history of Father Jacques Marquette. . . ." Specifically the commission was charged with investigating the desirability of establishing a per· manent national memorial to commemorate this missionary, explorer, and frontiersman, \ State Park The Marquette Memorial will be built cooperatively by the National Park Service and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Legislation currently before Congress (H.R. 2724) and the Michigan Legislature are directed at the first- part of this proposed historic site. In addi-. tion to the Marquette Memorial itself, a $2-million development of the Straits State Park is projected, which is to include a museum, an amphitheater, and an orientation center.

Jacques Marquette was born in Laon, France, on June I, 1637 during a time of great religious and social change brought about by the Protestant Reformation and the exploration of the Americas. He entered the Jesuit novitiate at Nancy in 1654, was ordained a priest in 1666, and was assigned to mission work in New France, He was 3D years old. when he landed at Quebec in September, 1666, and began his two-year study' of Indian languages and culture. In 1668 he was made resident missionary at Sault Ste. Marie. Other Jesuits, including Fathers Isaac Jogues and Charles Raymbault, had explored and

FATHER MARQUETTE named this river as early as 1641, but Father Marquette was the first priest to live among the Chipryewa and French fur traders there.. While at the Sault, Father Maraquette and Brother Louis Boerne built a chapel and a mission house which were to become the center for Church and civic work throughout the Great Lakes area during the next decade.

From 1669 to 1671 the priest lived among the Ottawa and Huron Indians on the western end of Lake Superior near presentday Ashland, Wisconsin. During his time there Father Marauette met Indians from the Illinois nation who had crossed the "great river" to the south. From them he gained firsthand information about this potential water route to the "south" or "western sea."

When the Sioux threatened war in 1671, Father Marquette .moved with the Indians from La Pointe to the Straits of Mackinac There he began St. Ignace Mission on the northern shore of Lake Michigan.

Site for Memorial In 1673 Louis Jolliet arrived with the news that Father Marquette had been assigned to accompany him on a voyage of exploration to the south in search of the "Messi-Sipi". The explorers left St. Ignace on May 17.

They paddled along the western shores of Lake Michigan into Green Bay where Father Claude Allouex had recently establish2d a new mission (1670). With the aid of Indian guides, the Frenchmen made their way up the Fox

Catholic Charities Backs Adoption Bill WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Conference of Catholic Charities (NCCC) has supported a bill designed to make easier the adoption of children with "!>pecial needs."

The bill, introduced by Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Cali~J)~ defines children with special needs as those under 18 who are physically, emotionally or mentally handicapped, .members of a sibling group which does not want to be separated, members of a minority group, children having other impediments to adoptionoften their age - and children who have not been placed for adoption within six months after being freed for adoption.

There are an estimated 100,000 such children in this country, according to Msgr. Lawrence Corcoran, NCCC executive director.

During the following winter he wrote a descriptive journal about the historic voyage. It remains today the only record of the event, since Jolliet's notes were lost in a canoe accident while he was returning to Quebec.

The l'roposed memorial demonstrates the continuing popularity of this pioneer Blackrobe Whose name has been given to a city, a river, a university, forests, parks, and scores of other places and things throughout the Midwest. St. Ignace was selected as the site for the memorial because Father Marquette's bones were brought there by Indians two years after his death. His grave site was rediscovered in 1877.

The Father Marquette National Memorial will be located nearby.

KNOW YOUR FAITH Killing

Y5.

By

REV. DONALD G. McCARTHY When a famous painter was reminded that the front door on a cottage in one of his paintings had no handle he found a ready reply. "That's the door of' the human heart," he said, "it can only be opened from the inside."

Christianity teaches that death is like that door-it can only be opened from the other side. The door will be opened when our time has come. When an ailing relative dies we say, "The Lord calle<1 her to Himself" - He opened the death door.

Christian morality teaGhes that we must never kill an innocent person. Already in Genesis we· read, "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God man was made" (9:6). In Exodus God tells us, "The innocent and the just you shall not put to dea·th" (23:7).

Warfare tends to be this universal principle. Theoretically in a just war one kills aggressors who are not "innocent and just."

Yet modern warfare with napalm, satura'tion bombing, and nuclear radia'tion treats whole villages and cities as unjust aggressors and troubles the consciences of Christian and secular humanists alike.

If the fetus is accepted as a human being then abortion not only bends this principle, it breaks it completely. So pro-

Caring

ponents of abortion often refuse to acknowledge that a fetus is human, then it need not be considered "innocent and just" (Exclamation point) Euthanasia Euthanasia challenges the inviolability of innocent life from another direction. Its active version accepts directly killing suffering people, not because they lack innocence or justice, but because someone thinks' they would be better off dead. The passive version of euthanasia allows people to c1ie simply by omitting any or all medical procedures.

Christianity generally and Catholic Christianity in particular strongly oppose active euthanasia or mercy killing. Passive euthanasia is likewise condemned if it means ,indiscriminate omission of all medical treatment.

However, Christianity is not masochistic-it does not teach unnecessary infliction of suffering. So Pope Pius XII taught that Christians need not use "extraordinay means" to prolong life, for example, when a death agony has begun. Thus it might be said that these eases would fall under the heading of passive euthanasia.

But such use of terms is dangerous. For some experts claim that active and passive euthanasia are morally equiva.)ent to each other. For ~hem to admit Turn 'to Page Fourteen

The Right to Life

A frequent theme of ethical discussion is the so-called "hierarchy of values." Is there some supreme va,lue or human good, so important that other ,"alues can be violated if necessary to promote it? The .answer is no.

Immorality generally lies in acting as if there were.

By

RUSSELL SHAW

But there is a real and obvious sense of Hfe, if not the "supreme" human good, is the most basic. Without life, it is impossible for a human being to realize any other good. 'One of the > signs of moral confusion in our time is~hat it should even ,be necessary to state this.

'Lord of Life' To speak of the "right to life" immediately raises questions: In what sense can a person be said to have this right and what is its nature? Clearly there is no pre-existing right-that is, a person's right to life does not exist before life exists.

Once life does exist, however, the right to life also exists. lot is a right which may not be violated. The reason is the source of life. Its ultimate source is not the individual or other human beings, it is God. This is why the Second Vatican Council, in the Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, was speaking the simple truth in calling God "the Lord of Life."

Life originates with God, and God alone has the authority to dispose of it.

Since God is the ultimate source of human life, human beings have a serious obligation to respect life - their own and others'. Negatively, the respect for life which is demanded of us rules out such obvious violations as murder, abortion and euthanasia. It also rules out the taking of one's own life by sukide. And, although there ·is much controversy on the matter, this analysis suggests why some 'hold that society has no right to take life by capital punishment.

'Double Effect' The question of taking the life of an aggressor - in war and similar situations-is much more complicated, since the right of an individual or a nation to engage in self-defense is also involved. The most that can be said in a brief overview such as this is that Christian moral thought has general,ly concluded that there is a limited right to take a life in such cases-a right conditioned by the application of such principles as the so-called "just war" doctrine or the principle of "double effect," At the same time, Christian moral thought has also insisted that such principles be applied hon-

INVIOLABLE RIGHT: "Pope Paul and the 1974 international Synod of Bishops . . . spoke powerfully of the 'right to eat' and declared it to be "directly linked to .the 'right to life'." It is too late to claim the right to eat for Abdulla, 4, who lies' dead of starvation on the street at Khulna, India. Volunteer worker Jan Terhaar of the Irish group, Concern, consoles Abdulla's mother. The family, too poor to eat, was also too poor to pay for the burial required by religious custom, so a beggar's bowl was put beside the body until enough money was collected for ointments, oils and a shroud. NC Photo estly ·and strictly; not even in the most extreme circumstances is human life to be destroyed casually or indiscriminately.

In recent times we have become increasingly aware that some things are so intimately related to Hfe-and the right to life - as to be virtually insep'arable from it. Pope Paul VI and the 1974 international Synod of Bishops, in the statement on "Human Rights and Reconciliation," spoke powerfully of the "right to eat" and declared it to be "direotly linked to the right to me," This has many ·immediate, practical consequences in an era of global food. shortages and in a country like the United States, where food and the means of producing food are plentiful.

Campaign Seeks Congressional Hearings on Abortion Am·endment NEWARK (NC)-'Pro-life forces' are mounting a massive campaign to bring pressure on Representative Peter W. Rodino (D-N. .f.) in an effort to force House committee hearings on constitutional amendments protecting the life of the unborn.

The campaign is being orchestrated by the Knights of Colun:Jbus and the involvement of county and state Right to Life commit-tees, the archdiocesan councils of men and women, the Catholic Daughters of America, the Family Life Apostolate and a variety of non-denominational life groups in the Essex County area .is being sought.

A strategy meeting was held at the headquarters of Regina Pacis Council, K of C, here recently and a campaign to carry through October was mapped. It will be concentrated in the 10th Congressional District, which Rodino represents in Congress.

Rodino is being targeted because he is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, a subcommittee of which is responsible for constitutional amendments. That subcommittee is headed by Representative Don Edwards (D-CaIif.).

Edwards has steadfastly refused to conduct hearings on amendments which have .been before the subcommittee for more than two years, alEhough Rodino has' asked him to do so.

However, pro-I'ife forces say Rodino could bypass the subcommittee if he wished to do so and they cite both House and Democratic rules which they say

g.ive him the authority to bring the matter before the full committee.

Rodino denies that he has the power to do this.' Following an early-June meeting with James J. Connors, chairman of the State K of C Respect Life Committee, and James P. Burke, who as state deputy at the time (he has since left office) was the highest ranking K of C official in the state, Rodino outlined his position in a letter to Connors.

"I am opposed to deliberate 'taking of human life under any circumstances," he wrote. "I have urged Don Edwards repeatedly to 'hold hearings on the amendment. However ... he has ·indicated that a consensus of of the committee on civil and constitutional rights did not support such hearings. I do not have the power ... to direct that subcommittee to hold hearings."

Connors told The Advocate, Newark archdiocesan newspaper, that the Knights agree that Rodino personally does not have the authority to call hearings under House rules. But he said that tlJ,ose rules enable him to convene the full committee and permit that committee itself to vote for or against hearings as a result of the subcommittee's inaction.

Burke, . in a letter to Rodino,. expressed d'isappointment at his stand in light of reports that at the request of a number of senators he «expedited hearings on a constitutional amendment to give full voting representation" to residents of the District of Columbia.

CHRISTIAN NOT UTILITARIAN ATTITUDE: "The next <;lecade will see vigorous propaganda for both active and passive euthanasia as a kind of 'civil right' to personal death control. Christians will reply that the sanctity of human life forbids' killing and commends caring." A kiss for a grandfather is a Christian response to old age, contrasting with a utilitarian view of ridding the world of the elderly and helpless. NC Photo.

Killing vs. Caring Continued from Page Thirteen any limited acceptance of passive euthanasia is to accept the eut·hanasia pJ:inciple and compromise the inviolability of life.

'JUCTO~

A better and more accurate description of the Christian tradition would speak of .the "Justif.iable Use of Conservative Therapy Only," (abbreviated JUCTO). Physicians readily recognize certain situations where heroic therapy like desperaote at.tempts at transplants or other useless -surgery or even the use of heart-lung machines, respira'tOllS, or pacemakers will onlyprolong a death agony. These are "ex,traordinary means" of prolonging life in these sItuations. Omitting these procedures is "Justifiable Use of Conservative Therapy Only" but it is NOT equivalent to killing. Caring for the patient with ordinary procedures goes on, this is car' ing l'ather than killing.

The universal principle which forbids killing the ".innocent and the just" 'should not be thought of merely as some ancient taboo whioh can be modoiifed to include euthanasia or ·suic.ide. Like an ancient taboo Ijt stands as a no-no principle, hut it also includes a yes-yes correlative. No, we must not kill; yes, we must take resasonable care of human lives, our own and our neighbor's.

Reasonable Care Mercy killing. belongs to the genus of veterinary medicinethey do shoot horses. Abandonment of the suffering by omission of all l11edical treatment be-longs to the pagan history of the Eskimos who were said to set the aged and the sick afloat on ice floes.

The Christian mandate to love our neighbor demands reasonable care and dedicated medical effollts to relieve pain and

restore health. It accepts death as the normal culmination of human life but does not attempt ,to manipulate, actively or pas.sively, the moment of death because someone's life has no more human meaning.

The next decade will see vigorous propaganda for both active and passive euthanasia as a kind of "oivil right" to personal death control. Christians will reply that ,the sanctity of human -life forbids kiUing and commends caring. The door of death should not be pried open from this side.

The Right to Lif'e Continued from Page Thirteen of "quality" thus defined are la~king, a determination is made that -life is not worth livingand should perhaps be terminated. This is particularly intolerable when the decision that "this life is not wor-th living" is made for an 'individual by somebody else, as happens in abortion and, it seems, often in the case of euthanasia. When this happens we have departed far indeed from the pr.inciple that the right to life is inviolable and thl)lt God, not man, i~ the "Lord of Hfe."

BOSTON (NC) - The bishops of Massachusetts have issued a statement welcoming refugees from Southeast Asia to the state.

The statement. said the Church in Massachusetts is cooperating with public and private ·agencies in resettling the refugees.

"The Massachusetts Catholic Conference joins our friends' throughout the country in' welcoming the refugees from Southeast Asia who may wish to make their home with us," the statement said. "We extend a particular welcome to those who have come to Massachusetts.

"In former times, war-torn people have fled from death, destruction, and tyranny. They came from almost every continent to America to seek freedom and to live in peace. They were generally welcomed and in time allowed the opportunity to live productive lives.

"The history of participation of the Catholic Chuhch in the process of resettlement has been a glorious one. The Church is now desirous of responding to the needs of the Vietnamese refugees, of cooperating with other public and private agencies in the resettlement process, thus extending and enriching that. history.

"We see you as a potential enrichment of our labor force.

We see you as culturally motivated toward personal and financial independence. We are committeed to participate in assisting you now in using your Godcgiven talents to enable you to adjust in time to life in a new society." .

Liberty and Justice for All in the mission. In March, 1776, the four men departed. By the time they returned in early June, the revolutionaries' position was considerably improved in the northern theater of war.

The commission's work was ultimately rewarded when the British Gen. John Burgoyne failed to advance toward New York City as planned.

Charles Carroll then led the way at Annapolis, where he successfully persuaded the revolutionary convention to declare independence from England. The convention also elected "him a delegate 'to the Continental Congress where he signed the Declaration of Independence.

Perhaps of even greater importance was his appointment to the committee which drafted the Maryland Constitution. His draft, with few exceptions, was passed as the basic law of the new state. It provided religious freedom for Marylianders. Carroll served, in addition, on other important committees for the success of the war effort. In the Congress he was a member of the Board of War and proved a great support to the command of Gen. George Washington when the general was under criticism during the dark days at Valley Forge.

Carroll Elected Bishop In the life of the ,American Church, John Carroll was no less creative than Charles. He suffered in mind and 'heart when the Society of Jesus, to which he belonged, was suppressed in 1773. He saw the 25 priests of that order, on whose ministry American Catholics depended entirely, adrift as the war went on. The bishop of London, who had jurisdiction over American Cat'holics, did not see how 'he could continue his role after American independence. A new nation, John Carroll believed, called for an American Church.

European ecclesiastics, however, thought in terms of keeping American Catholics without their own bishop.

Hardly had the Treaty of Paris been signed in Paris in 1783, when John Carroll led the way out of these 'unhealthy conditi~ns. He drafted a constitution for the American Church and initiated the action at Rome to give her a bishop chosen from among her own clergy.

After a tedious process, Rome finally concurred in the plan of John Carroll. He was elected by the other priests, his own vote alone being against the decision.

The father of John Carroll came to Upper Marlboro, Md., because his property in Ireland was threatened with confiscation.

Maryland as founded by the Calvert family and initiated by the assembly of the first settlers, most of whom were Protestants, provided for religious freedom for all in its Toleration Act of 1639. But when William and Mary came to the throne in 1688 by overturning James II, the Church of England was established in the province and the statutes of Elizabeth were imposed. The Catholic proprietor, Charles Calvert, third Lord Baltimore, was removed. Both Carroll families lived in the hope that the original happy condition of the colony would one day return.

War Inevitable It was not until a new generation of young Marylanders discovered a deeper meaning of freedom that the hope seemed possible. These men, Samuel Chase, Thomas Johnson and some others, turned to' Charles Carroll for help in their defense of American liberty against the governor of Maryland and soon against George III, his ministers and Parliament.

In the pages of the Maryland Gazette, in 1773 Carroll attacked the governor's attempt to tax' Marylanders without their consent by the assembly.

In 1774 and 1775 he went to the Continental Congress in Philadelphia as an adviser to the Maryland delegation, seeking to prevent Britain's unjust taxes and the application of her military force on the American colonies.

By January of 1776, hope of conciliation was lost and a war for freedom became inevitable.

The British plan, after failing to stop Americans at Lexington, Concord and Boston, called for a military buildup in the St. Lawrence River area for an advance southward to New York City. American forces were already taking forts in upper New York and ultimately Montreal.

But the whole Canadian area needed to be stabilized.

On the advice of John Adams and Samuel Chase, the Congress called for a Commission to Canada for this purpose. Because Canadians did not trust Protestant Americans, Charles and John Carroll were asked to join Benjamin Franklin and Chase

Oblates Give Seminary To Refugee Religious Order CARTHAGE (NC) - The Oblates of Mary Immaculate have given the use of their former minor seminary here to the members of a Vietnamese Religious order who left South Vietnam when the communists took over.

Seventy-one members of the Vietnamese Congregation of the Blessed Mother Coredem,trix have already arrived at Our Lady of the Ozarks Seminary and a total of 175 are expected to take up residence here.

"We'll rent it to them for $1 a year as long as needed," said Oblate Father William Woestman, provincial of the Oblates Central Province. Father Woestman said the Oblates ceased using the 25-acre property, which at one time housed 200 minor seminarians, in 1971 because of a shortage of faculty and a decline in vocations.

The Oblates have been trying to sell the property, but have had "no reasonable offer," Father Woestman said, adding that the seminary is "in perfect condition" and completely furnished.

Of the Vietnamese Religious, nine are priests and the rest are in various stages of preparation for the priesthood, Father Woestman said. He added that the order's superior general apparently sent out all the professors and seminarians.

Bishop Bernard Law of Springfield-Gape Girardeau, the diocese in which the seminary is located, Father Woestman, Oblate Father John Weissler, administrator of St. Ann's parish in Carthage, and Father Barnabas Thien, secretary to the superior general of the Vietnamese order, were on hand to greet the firs't group of refugee Religious arriving here.

The order has a total of 606 members. Of those remaining in Vietnam, Father Th.iep said: "We may never see them again. Un· der the communist government, they will never be let out of Vietnam."

The founder and sUTlerior gen,· eral, Father Dominic Mary Tran Dinh Thu, is still in Saigon. He founded the order in 1953 in the Buichu diocese of North Vietnam.

When Vietnam was divided by the Geneva Conference in 1954. the members of the order fled south to continue their work in Saigon.

Their projects in South Vietnam included a seminary, several elementary schools. high schools. retirem~nt homes for priests and the operation of a coffee and tea plantation and a rubber plantation.

The order was self-supporting in Vietnam but has no source of support in the United States yet.

The refugee Religious order came to Carthage through the intervention of Bishop Law, who met members of the order during a visit to the U. S. Catholic Conference Migrant and Refugee Services office at the Fort Chaffee, Ark., refugee camp. Bishop Law contacted Father Woestman to discuss the feasibility of using the former minor seminary here.

Asked about future plans, Father Thiep said: "Our first goal is to learn English. Only about 30 can speak any English at all.

There was never any occasion in Vietnam for us to use English."

Bishop Law has arranged for a group of Benedictine Sisters to come from Atchison, Kan., to teach English to the Vietnamese Religious.

Parishes Take Look at Themselves BROOKLYN (NC-Two parishes in the Brooklyn diocese have been taking a census-type look a't themselves in a pilot program to ·find out what they are doing wrong that turns people off.

In one of the parishes, St. Mary's Nativity, in the Flushing section of Queens, about 3,500 members over the age of 14 responded to .a "Sense of Us" survey last year. They registered complaints about Church practice and Hfe being "irrelevant" and said there was a critical need for closer ties witihin the Christian community.

At the nearby, more racially mixed St. Gerard Majella parish in the Hollis section of Queens, questionnaires similar to those used at St. Mary's Nativity were distributed this summer to the

parish's 1,600 Catholic families.

The diocesan education department has offered professional assistance and the use of a computer to about 15 parishioners in each parish who are designated as "design core" organizations.

'Both design core organizations, including priests, Sisters and laity, have met weekly since the start of 1973 to study and pray about their surveys.

In St. Mary's Nativity, 200 parishioners distributed the fourpage questionnaire door-to-door and collected them later. At St. Gerard Majella seminarians were to handle the distribution.

"It's just common sense to find out what you',re doing wrong and right," said Father Joseph P. Graham, pastor of St.

Mary's Nativity for the last .five years. "It's a tool." The 49'Year-old church is located in a residential, mostly white, homeowning area near Queens College.

Father Michael J. Dempsey, secretary for education .in the Brooklyn diocese, said the findingsfr~ the parishes are part of an inquiry into how to "redesign parish structures to improve their efofectiveness in the allurban t'!:Yo-county diocese.

"We know," Father Dempsey continued, "that ,the valuelearning process ,is different from learning information. And we know how to design schools so they can become a community of faith, rather than just a vehicle for the transmission of informa'tion.

The vigil will end Aug. 9, the 30th anniversary of the Nagaski attack. The Peace group brought along a full-size replica of the First A-Bomb. NC Photo.

Jesuit Superior General Recalls Atom-Bombing of Hiroshima ROME (NC)-The present international "balance of fear" notwithstanding, fundamental human values and faith in Christ will conquer the world in the post·nuclear age, according to an eminent survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Father Pedro Arrupe, Jesuit superior general, shared his tht-roughts with NC News on the 30th anniversary of the Aug. 6, 1945 bombing.

"You say that I'm an optimist, but 1 say that 1 am right," insisted the 67-year-old Basque priest. "The grace of God is penetrating into the human scene and I have no doubt that mankind is always progressing. We are supposed to be saved and the Lord is leading us to salvation."

Father Arrupe, who lived in Japan from 1938 until his election for life as Jesuit superior in 1965, spoke about Hiroshima in his spacious but Spartan fourthfloor office in Jesuit headquarters, a stone's throw from St. Peter's Basilica.

Two splashes of color-a small Oriental-style rug in the conversation area and a color photo from space given by U. S. astronaut James Lovell-relieve the room's gray monotony. A row of open windows give out a verdant hillside, crowned with a statue of the Sacred Heart.

On Aug. 6, 1945, Father Arrupe remembers, he and about 40 other Jesuits-most of them nonJapanese - were carrying out

routine morning duties in the three-story wooden Jesuit novitiate, three miles from the center of Hiroshima.

"At 8:10 A.M. ,I saw a great flash of light," he said. About 30 seconds later there was a great gust of wind. Our building, which was very solid, did not collapse and there were no injuries at the house. But pieces of glass one inch long could be found imbedded deeply in the opposite wall."

Afterward, he continued, the Jesuits ran to the garden to look for the bomb, thinking that it must have struck nearby. "We never saw the famous mushroom cloud since the city, built on seven islands, was very foggy and humid." .

From their hillside 'garden the Jesuits watched flames leap among the flattened straw, paper and wood which once formed housing for about 400,000 Japanese. "We thought incendiary bombs had been dropped." the Jesuit general said. "We saw people running out of the city who were burned and wounded and we began to take them in.

At 3 p.m. the fire burned itself out and a heavy rain fell. We went into the city to try to do something."

For Pedro Arrupe, trained in medicine, there was plenty to do among the city's 120,000 wounded. Beyond help, under the ashes, lay 80,000 corpses.
