Episcopalians to Rome?

WASHINGTON (NC) - The National Conference of Catholic Bishops is developing provisions for admitting married clergy of the Episcopal Church to priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church.

The Episcopal clergymen, along with other members of the Episcopal Church in the United States, would be admitted to the Roman Catholic Church with a "common identity" under which they would retain elements of their Anglican tradition.

An announcement. by Archbishop John R. Quinn of San ,Francisco, NCCB president, said

the decision to develop the provisions was approved by Pope John Paul II. The announcement noted that the terms under Which the Episcopalians would be admitted to the Roman Catholic Church are still to be estabished and must still be approved by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The admission of married Episcopal priests into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church could lead to the first time that married priests would function legitimately in the United States.

Eastern rite churches, which

have married priests in other countries, are not permitted to ordain married priests in the United States. There are however, some Eastern Rite married priests functioning in the United States who emigrated here after World War II. Archbishop Quinn said the decision to admit Episcopalians and their clergymen would apply only to those who fully accept Roman Catholic doctrine and the authority of the pope and bishops.

He recalled the scriptural sayings, "The laborer is worth his wage" and "you shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out grain." "oJn the needs of the moment, of this time when our country is overwhelmed with so much trouble and unrest, one cannot remain indifferent to what is causing concern to the nation and the state, our families and the working world, whiich is seeking the social, moral, economic and cultural rights owed to the nation," the cardinal said.

"An effort has been made to understand what are these values necessary for the normal development of the nation, upon which the state is based," he added. .

The cardinal's comment is in keeping with a long practice by Polish church leaders of questioning whether government policy is in the best interests of the nation, meaning the whole Polish people.

His comment on the working world seeking rights "owed to the nation" was regarded as indirect support for the aims of the strikers.

These include higher wages to offset increased food prices, recognition of independent unions, freedom of speech and the press,

Toward An Uncloned Clergy

Future historians of the American church will have to take into" account the remarkable record of the current Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Jean Jadot.

Spanning the days of three popes, the Jadot delegacy has been one of quiet determination to implement the objectives of the papacy.

There can be little doubt that his appointment as head of the Vatican Secretariat for Non- Christians will soon take him from our shores. Perhaps anticipating such a change, the archbishop recently gave a press interview in which he offered some very positive reflections concerning basic issues that face the Catholic community in the United States.

One of his comments was that "the church in the United States would be better off if more gifted young priests would do more theological studies." By this, he said, he meant more post-graduate work in theology and philosophy.

For too long, he feels, American priests have concentrated on social work, psychology and sociology. Admitting the necessity of such specialized studies, the delegate feels the true need in this church is for real scholars in theology.

The idea of, the scholar priest is indeed foreign to the American mind. C:After all, we are yet in many areas of our country an immigrant church. Until Vatican II, our dynamism was to build.

True pastoral life was defined by edifices erected rather than by books read. In fact, for years, anyone who dared read anything more than Life, Time or Sports Illustrated was readily termed a nut.

One must admit the validity of the delegate's observations with regard to the lack of intellectual vitality among the diocesan clergy.

In fact, in the not too distant past, diocesan priests in general were not encouraged even to take an interest in anything other than being a "good and faithful" clone.

Much of this mindset flowed right from those who had the responsibility of shepherding the diocese.

Bishops who supported the continuing education of their clergy were indeed few and far between. If there was any attempt in dioceses to give the appearance of scholarship, it was, more often than not, simply to keep the priests in line.

More episcopal effort in the American church has been expended to keep the clergy cloned than to admit and hone their intellectual talents and abilities.

By many a bishop whose sole object in life was to monumentalize his own ego, a dumb but obedient priest was much preferred to a smart and scholarly one.

To tell the truth, this is why there is such a dearth of theological scholars among American clergy. We should be gratified that the papal representative has pointed out this obvious and glaring vacuum in our church.

Fortunately, since the Council, most bishops have realized this need. As a community however, we have a long way to go to overcome some of our horrid past attitudes. However, with the encouragement of the Apostolic Delegate and the cooperation of the hierarchy, our church will not continue to languish in the doldrums of vincible ignorance.

Celebrating holy days

By Father Kevin J. Harrington

A proposal to reduce the number of holy days has generated its share of controversy. A recommendation was made by the bishops' Committee on the Liturgy to celebrate four holy days on the nearest Sunday. The only holy days remaining would be Christmas and the Immaculate Conception. The American bishops will decide the matter in November.

Local reaction seems largely negative. The diocese of Fall River is blessed with an abundance of churches. Hence it is convenient. for most people to fulfill their obligation. However, human nature being human nature, many still neglect this obligation.

While it may be argued by some that more people attend Mass on Sunday, therefore, these feasts should be celebrated when the most people can be present it can also be argued that few working people can be legitimately excused from this obligation with the further accommodation of vigil Masses.

My own opinion is that the numbers of those that are more than just inconvenienced are few and can best be dealt with through the discretion of a confessor-penitent relationship. This would be in much the same manner as that by which dispensations to the church's fast laws

are given for medical reasons.

I can only view any lessening of the laws of the church as accommodation in this area. Such changes are bound to elicit unjustified emotional outbursts.

Public sentiment should be anticipated and priests should expect accusations of being either "too soft" or "too lazy." Neither criticism would be fair but it would hardly be avoidable.

A more rational response to the issue is needed. Certainly in some rural areas of the nation and in other localities where the Roman Catholic population is small, it may be more than merely inconvenient to assist at Mass during the week.

Perhaps the Ordinary of such dioceses, in conjunction with pastors, can deteJmine the severity of the hardship involved. Mere lack of attendance cannot be the criterion. It we were to make this the standard, then logic would demand that we celebrate Mass only on Christmas and Easter because that is when the greatest attendance occurs.

Roman Catholics need to be challenged by the church's laws.

Although Mass attendance had declined, things have been stabilized for the past five years.

Too many unnecessary changes alienate and confuse the faithful.

A great deal of sensitivity was shown by the American. bishops in their decision to consult priests and laity before embark-

ing upon any further change.

There was a feelinl: of powerlessness at the changes that occurred after the Second Vatican Council. They came without prior consultation and with a minimum of explanation and in a democratic nation such as ours inevitably led to disenchantment and rebellion.

Priests and laity in the United States have been giv'en an opportunity to react to the present proposal. Perhaps a nation as vast as ours needs fl,~xibility in the celebration of holy days.

Granted, celebration of these days is essential to the faith life of Catholics. Yet to celebrate them in empty churches because the faithful find it impossible due to distances both to work and attend Mass is foolish.

Sunday indeed does allow enough time to travel and celebrate Mass. However, in areas such as ours where there is so little distance between our homes and churches, there seems no reason to change for the sake of change.

human dimensions of their work."

RepOrts from Poland said that the main gates of the Lenin shipyard, which striking workers had occupied, WElre draped with portraits of the pope, who worked in a quarry and a chemical factory in Poland during World War II. On June 9, 1979, at the Shrine of the Cross near Nowa Huta just outside Cracow, :Pope John Paul attacked work systems that are degrading.

"The cross cannot be separated from man's work," the pope told a crowd of more tha:n 100,000.

"Christ cannot be separated from man's work."

He declared that "Christianity and the church have :no fear of the world of work" or of "the system based on work" and noted that he himself had come "from the quarries of Yakrzowek, from the Solvay furn'aces in Borek Falecki, and then from Nowa Huta."

Through his experience of work, the pope said, hl~ "became convinced that the prclblems being raised today abo'lt human labor are deeply engraved in the Gospel, that they cannot be fully solved without the Gospel."

The problems being raised today about human labor come down "to a fundamental category of the dignity of work, that is to say, of the dignity of man," the pope said. "Economics, technology and the many other specializations and disciplines have their justificatio:n for existing in that essential category.

If they fail to draw from that category and are shaped without reference to the 11ignity of human labor, they are in error, they are harmful, they are against man.

"This fundamental category is ·humanistic. I make bcild to say that this fundamental category, the category of work ~.s a measure of the dignity 01' man, is Christian. We find it in its highest degree of intensity in Christ."

Pope John Paul I~ontinued:' "Christ will never approve that man be considered, or that man consider himself, merely as a means of production,"

Economic Development Economic development must remain under man's direction; it is not to be left to the judgment of a few individuals or groups possessing too much economic power, nor of the political com·

Hence we must denounce as false doctrines which stand in the way of all reform on the pretext of a false notion of freedom, as well as those which subordinate the basic rights of individuals and of groups to the collective organization of production..

"Under the pretext or pretense of managing our economy, social programs are being severely cut back, labor's right to organize is being effectively thwarted lin many industries, unemployment has been allowed to rise to intolerable levels, and the poor and aged are being left to their own devices foJ' survJval," saoid Msgr.

Higgtins. ' Msgr. Higgins, a member of .the U.S. Catholic Conference staff for 36 years, announced his 'retirement earlier this year effective Sept. 1. He will b~ 65 next January.

The long-time labor advocate, who preached at the funeral Mass last January of ML-CIO president George Meany, for many year:; has issued an annual statement for Labor -Day. This year's statement traces the recent bistory of the church's traditional advocacy of the poor and iits teachings regarding the right to ccUective bargaining.

Msgr. Higgins complained that the effor.t to "turn back the clock" on society's concern for the poor raises serious questions for the future.

"Are we ~n danger of becoming an increasingly a1tomized society lin which private gain is placed above social and reHgious values?" he asked.

unmatched by other nations in the wdrld, is the strength of our lelbor force. Our ingenuity, deter:mination and hard work, our eagerness to take risks to dare' and explore, have led to achievements we never dreamed possible.

We take this chan~ to congratulate all the working men and women on aiob carefully and proudly, well doneI

"Will our natic,nal and global communities be torn apart by the struggle fo,r l!imited resources? Will our economic problems be 'solved' llt the expense of the poor and Ithe weak both at home and abroad?

"The answer depends upon our willingness to place the values of human dignity and equal~ty at the heart of the debate over our nation's future," he said.

Msgr. Higgins said current economic problems are no greater than 'the problems faced by the country when it emerged from the First World War. -Ai.C that'- time, he noted, the U.S. bishops' conference, then known as the Na'!lional Catholic ,Welfare Con,ference, predecessors of the usec, issued the "Bishops' Program for Social Reconstruction."

"It . was one of the most forward-looking social documents of its time, and it hf~lped to estabHsh the church i.n the United States as a leading proponent of a more just sociB.! order," said Msgr. Higgins.

The document, Msgr. Higgins noted, called for l:iving workers a "proper share" dn industrial management as wf!ll as for minimum wage legish,tion, a major social oinsurance program, a full employment program, progressive taxation and a wider ownership of property.

"This tradition (If vigorous advocacy on behalf of human dignity needs to be Itept alive and creatively kept up to date in light of our current economic crfisis," Msgr. Hig~,ins said.

The current cril~is. though, is not a temporary b,)ut with inflation, but is a mOrE! serious problem of limited reHources and a global economy "increasingly dominated by transnational corporate enterprises"~ Msgr. Higgins said.

'Pope John Pal.:.l II, Higgins noted, has spoken often on the rights of workers to organ~ze.

And in ,Brazil this year, the pope said that the task of building a just society rests with all: workers, government officials, scientists, technioians ;;md communicators.

"The U.S. Catholic Conference has consistently held to this principle, but, for valid historical reasons, it has found dt necessary to give special attention to the fundamental rights of working men and women B,nd, more speoifically, their right to organize for the purpose of collective bargalining,'''' said ,Msgr. Higgins.

"The conferenl:e has also found dt necessary to emphasize the legitimate and necessary role of government !in guaranteeing the free exercise oj' this right and in effecting other needed social and economic reforms."

Msgr. Higgins also called on labor and management to expand the scope of colle:ctive bargaining do light of the current economic crisis. He sllid labor negotiations should explore such is,, sues as plant closings and plant location, investment policies, the [.

Christian view of labor Today more than ever before there is an increase in the production of agricultural and industrial goods and in the number of services available, and this is as it should be in view of the population expansion and growing human aspirations.

CONSTRUCTION WORKERS at St. Anne's HOSpital, Fall River, look on as retiring foreman John Burke presents proceeds of sale of scrap to Sister Thomas More, OP. Al Tanguay, who initiated the project, stands at left. (Torchia Photo)

Har(lhats boost hospital drive.

Construction workers at St. Anne's Hospital in Fall River recently raised $220 salvaging onsite scrap materials.

They donated the mone~r to the hospital building fund in honor of John Burke, Warehlllll, retiring as a construction foreman after 13 years with Macomber Contractors, in charge of the $12 million project.

"While cutting the old maternity wing, the men came across copper and othelr scrap metal and reusable materials," said superintendent Cecil Campot. The wing is being re:novated into a 31-bed medical/surgical

Progr(~ss

facility as the first phase of the building project.

"AI Tanguay of Fall River got the men together on the idea to collect the salvageables, pile them onto his pickup truck and cart them off for the money," Campot said.

"It was his own initiative," he added.

Tanguay, a brawney, hard hat, has taken a personal interest in St. Anne's Hospital, also participating in a recent walk-a-thon held to raise money for the building proect.

"Keep up the good work," said Sister Thomas More in the

hollowed-out hospital wing, as she accepted the check.

"Do you mean the good construction or the fund-raising work?" quipped a worker.

Therefore we must encourage technical progress and the spirit of enterprise, we must foster the eagerness for creativity and improvement, and we must promote adaptation of production methods and all serious efforts of people engaged in production - in other words of all elements which contribute to economic progress.

The ultimate and basic purpose of economic production does not consist merely in the increase of goods produced, nor in profit nor prestige; it is directed to the service of man, of man, that is, in his totality, taking into account his material needs and the requirements of his intellectual, moral, spiritual, and religious life; of all men whomsoever and of every group of men of whatever race or from whatever part of the world.

• Therefore, economic activity

is to be carried out in accordance with techniques and methods belonging to the· moral order, so that God's design for man may be fulfilled.

Christians engaged in modern economic and social progress and in the struggle for justice and charity must be convinced that they have much to contribute to the prosperity of mankind and to world peace. Let them, as individuals and as group members, give a shining example to others.

Endowed with the skill and experience so absolutely necessary for them, let them preserve a proper sense of values in their earthly activity in loyalty to Christ and his Gospel, in order that their lives, individual as well as social, may be inspired by the spirit of the Beatitudes, and in particular by the spirit of poverty.

Anyone who. in obedience to Christ seeks first the kingdom of God will derive from it a stronger and purer love for helping all his brethren and for acC9mplishing the task of justice under the inspiration of charity.

8-Labor

Human work Human work which is exercised in the production and exchange of goods or in the provision of economic services, surpasses all other elements of economic life, for the latter are only means to an end: Human work, whether exercised independently or in subordination to another, proceeds from the human person, who as it were impresses his seal on the things of nature and reduces them to his will. By his work a man ordinarily provides for himself and his family, associates with others as his brothers, and renders them service; he can exercise genuine charity and be a partner in the work of bringing divine creation to perfection.

Moreover, we believe by faith that through the homage of work offered to God man is associated with the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, whose labor with his hands at Nazareth greatly enobled the dignity of work.

This is the source of every man's duty to work loyally as well as his right to work; moreover, it is the duty of society to see to it that, according to the prevailing circumstances, all citizens have the opportunity of finding employment.

Finally, renumeration for work should guarantee man the opportunity to provide a dignified livelihood for himself and his family on the material, social cultural and spiritual level to correspond to the role and the productivity of each, the relevant economic factors in his employment, and the common good.

Since the economic activity is, for the most part, the fruit of the collaboration of many men,

it is unjust and inhuman to organize and direct it in such a way that some of the workers are exploited.

But it frequently happens, even today, that workers are almost enslaved by the work they do.

The entire process of productive work, then, must be accommodated to the needs of the human person and the nature of his life, with special attention to domestic life and of mothers of families_in particular, taking sex and age always into account.

Workers should have the opportunity to develop their talents and their personalities in the very exercis,e of their work.

'lIn short, ,to repeat the words of Pope John Paul H, all those engaged lin economic life, including rank-and-file workers, must have 'the practiical possibility of takdng part freely and actively in working out and administering decisions regarding themselves at all levels," said Msgr.

Pope speaks

Dear Mrs. R.L.: It is obvious that you an.d your family are singularly blessed and you do your share in supporting church organizations. You also say that if you donated to the poor it would be but "a drop in the bucket." May I respEdfully remind you that this is precisely how a bucket is filled - a drop at a time. No one person is expected to feed all the mouths in any given city; but this is no reason for a father and a mother not to make provision for their own family.

Thanks to Jesus

For this gift beyond compare?

By loving all our neighbors And remembering Him in prayer Barbara Despres Fairhaven

FATHER PETER SMITH, pastor of Immaculate Conception Church, Edinburg, Texas, agrees that the age of miracles hasn't passed. In a homily at a Mass celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, founded

by St. Frances Cabrini, he told why.

As he explained it, in 1920, three years after Mother Cabrini's death, a baby was born at Columbus Hospital, New York, one of the hospitals the saint had founded.

It was the custom to flush the eyes of the newborn with a one percent solution of silver nitrate. But a nurse mistakenly used a 50 percent solution of the medication.

It immediately dissolved the baby's eye tissues down to the sockets, destroying the corneas, burned a furrow in his face and dug a hole in his chest.

In desperation, a nun at· the hospital placed a relic of Mother Cabrini on the baby and began a novena to Mother Cabrini.

After 24 hours the eyes were restored to normal but the baby had contracted double pneumonia and had a high fever. The attending doctor advised the nun' to pray for another miracle.

She did. Withn 48 hours the baby was in perfect health.

"I can attest to this," said Father Smith. "I was that baby."

One of his two miracles was used for the beatification of Mother Cabrini in 1938.

Chairman Dr. Raymond A. Pepin, a member of the faculty of Stonehill College, North Easton, since 1969, has been appointed chairman of the economics department. He is also director of the academic computer center.

The new chairman is a resident of South Easton. He holds degrees from Providence College and Clark University and has lectured extensively on economics throughout the eastern United States.

Improved controls in the transfer of nuclear technology and in the treatment, sale and transport of nuclear materials should be encouraged, he said.

The key probiem of disarmament is a "problem of trust" among nations, he said. The first step in removing distrust is to improve international relations especialIy between the big powers, added Backis.

the Roman Catholic bishops' de~sion.

He emphasized that many aspects of the situation have yet to be worked out, including a definition of "common identity."

As part of that identity, he added, the Episcopalians may be able to retain their liturgical prayers and maintain their common heritage.

He also called the decision "truly historic and notably precedent setting."

The Roman Catholic Church will have to "wait and see" if the move hurts relationships with the Episcopal Church, he remarked.

But he added that the decision to admit the Episcopal priests was made in response to requests by individuals and was not an effort by the Roman Catholic Church to steal Episcopalians.

He also said that the decision might open the door to similar moves with members of other churches.

"In my personal opinion, that is implied. It's reasonable to believe these principles could be applied in other directions," said Archbishop Quinn.

Asked whether the ordination of women in the Episcopal Church led to the desire by some 'Episcopalians to seek admission to the Roman Catholic Church, Archbishop Quinn said the female ordination issue could have been "the last straw."

But he said there were other aspects such as a desire to be united with Rome.

Archbishop Quinn and Bishop Law said there was no way of knowing how many Episcopal priests might be admitted to the Roman Catholic Church.

Father John Hotchkin, secretary for the NCCB Ecumenical and Interreligious Committee, said the acceptance of Anglican priests "was a step taken to deal with certain individuals who feel

they should move from one end of the Catholic family to the other."

The priest said that although the Anglicans would retain certain aspects of their religion there would be an "Angelican Rite" in the same sense as an Eastern Rite.

"It's more like a vicarate for the Vietnamese," Father Hotchkin said. "The church is finding different ways to alIow different cultures, this time a religious culture, to maintain their heritages."

A:ccepting parts of the Anglican liturgy into Roman Catholic life is a "sign of sincerity," he , added.

Bishop Thomas KelIy, general secretary of the NCCB, told NC News that the Anglican priests will be ordained either outright or conditionally. Some who have traced the history of their orders to show apostolic succession will not be re-ordained, he said, _but that would be a smalI group..

Bishop KelIy also said there is no timetable. "The bishops' conference has to plan, then the pope has to approve. It will take a little while."

Ahp. Capucci keeps trying ROME (NC) Archbishop Hilarion Capucci has rl~turned to Iran to complete onf~ minion and perhaps assume nnother.

Speaking to reporters at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci airport before boarding an evening flight flying to' Tehran, the Iranian capital, Archbishop Capucci said his main goal wa.s to complete negotiations with Iranian authorities about the status of Catholic schools and foreign missionaries in the country.

The Melkite-Rite archbishop said after those problems are resolved he would 2:ttempt to mediate the release of the 52 U.S. hostages held sirlce Nov. 4

by Iranian militants.

He said his contribu.tion to resolving the hostage crisis would be "a little cornerstone in a larger building, to find a means of bringing this problem to an end."

Archbishop Capucci" a 58-yearold Syrian who has been unofficially representing Vatican interests in Iran fCir several months, expressed optimism that he would soon receive written assurances from Iranian leaders that Catholic schools and missionaries may operate freely in the Islamic nation.

"Now it is a question of putting the promises into practice," he said. "I am claiming a right which is written in the Iranian constitution."

The archbishop, whose official post is apostolic visitor for Melkite-Rite Catholics in Western Europe, came to Rome Aug. 18 to intervene for the release of 12 Iranian students arrested Aug. 8 after a demonstration in

Still nixes tax credits DETROIT (NC) - Presddent Carter, in one of his first campaign addresses after renomination, pledged continued opposition to tuition tax credits for parents of non-public school students.

In an address to the convention of the American Federation of Teachers in Detroit, Carter said tuition tax credits would undermine pubLic education.

"It's important to me to protect education," said Carter.

"We've fought 'together successfully against the proposal that would undermine public education, and that is tuition tax credits."

He added: "And we're going to continue that fight. Universal free quaUty education' for all Americans is part of the greatness of our future as well as our past, and we do not want it endangered. And if you'll stick with me we'll not permit dt to be endangered."

front of St. 'Peter's Basilica.

The students were released the day after Archbishop Capucci met with' Italian officials.

Ten other demonstrators had been released previously.

The students, who received from the archbishop a letter from the new Iranian speaker of the' Parliament, Washemi Rapsanjani, said their demonstration at St. Peter's "was not designed to challenge the religious sentiments of men of the Christian faith" but to urge Vatican support of the Palestinian people and opposition to the recent Israeli action declaring a united Jerusalem at Israel's capital.

either child guidance or family counseling. You sound like very good parents, but I think you need to become exceptional parents.

Although the problem does not appear to be your fault, you' are the ones who need to become the agents of change.

One thing is obvious. Frontal attacks lead to resistance. The more you help with homework, the more you encourage employment, the more resistive he becomes. You need to find another way to promote success in these areas.

If I were seeing you, I would focus on a few behaviors which are most important to you and attempt to encourage these "good" behaviors in positive ways. You must understand what rewards and motivates him.

Ideally you need to find a system which rewards him 'for behavior that is desirable for you.

Bad behavior, like stealing, has consequences. Be careful not to protect your son from these consequences.

Consult some trusted friends' who seem to be doing well with their adolescents. Or seek a mental-health or family-guidance clinic to help you improve skills.

You have a difficult discipline problem. I think you need to find a child-rearing approach that will be less resisted and more effective. Good luck.

Questions on family living and ebild care are invited. Address to 1be Keonys c/o The Anehor, P.O. Box 7, Fall River, Mass.
