CASTELGANDOLFO (NC)Pope Paul VI put forward what he called a "sort of decalogue of suggestions" on prayer and on "the Church's official prayer," the liturgy.

The first is to follow the Second Vatican Council's liturgical reforms "faithfully, intelligently and diligently," he told a general audience at his summer home here.

The second is to learn the ,scriptural, theological and pastoral teachings of the Church about divine worship.

"Prayer is not a blind sentiment, but rather the projection of a soul enlightened by truth and moved by,charity," he commented, paraphrasing St. Thomas Aquinas.

The third law enjoins "great caution in reforming traditional religious customs of the people," Otherwise, he said, one might "extinguish religious feeling in the very act of clothing it with new ~nd more authentic religious expressions."

The fourth says:, The - family must be a great school of piety,

of religious education. For their action there is no substitute."

The fifth states: "The precept of Mass on Sundays and holy days maintains, more than ever, its gravity and its basic importance. The Church has made concessions to make its observation • easier. Whoever realizes the content and role of this precept must consider it not only a primary duty but a right ..."

The sixth of the Pope's 10 exhortations reaffirms the right of "the constituted community"by which he seeemed to mean the parish-to the presence of all its faithful. .

"If it is allowed to some a certain autonomy of distinct and homogeneous groups in religious practice, they must not fail to 'understand the genius of the ..

Church, which is to be a people with one heart and one soul ..."

The seventh was directed' to priests. 'It declared that the celebration of Mass must be prepared and carried out "with great care, under every aspect."

Hence, my dear people, you see that the question of your parish has been uppermost in the mind of your bishop. I am sorry that I have no further facts to present to you.

Future

BISHOP CRONIN The school which for so long has been and still is a source of pride has become a major cause of .financial concern.

Therefore, before any decisi9n could be made following the fire, some serious consideration had to be given to the general conditions in the parish. Hard questions had to be' asked. Can the parish support d,tself? Can the parish support a school? Does the size of the parish require a large church? Can the parish, reduced in size, undertake a building drive or assume a large debt?

What would be the insurance settlement?

School Building The emotion of the moment caused by the tragic loss of the church could naturally call for , an immediate decision. However, decisions cannot be arrived at precipitously, lest the desired good not be attained and, in fact, chance being thwarted.

Therefore, I asked your pastor and a group of the local pastors to meet with me to discuss the various aspects of the situation.

The discussion was fruiful. Although no definite decisions were reached, helpful considerations' and suggestions were brought forward. One suggestion w~s to make permanent uSe of the school building. A sub·committee was formed and "Father Coady was named chairman.

In these intervening months, Chancery has been negotiating with the' insurance umlerwriters concerning the settlement. Just this week, I have been assured, happily, that the parish will be reimbursed in a very substantial manner for the loss sustained in the fire. The Diocese has not received this payment yet, though there is every indication and assurance that it will be forthcoming.

Combination In the meantime, mindful of the suggestion that has been made, and in the hope that some happy compromise could be reached whereby the parish would have a worthy place of worship by making accommodations in the school building, I

However, from a study of the information available to me, I feel that a happy decision will be reached eventually. The spirit of your parish is wonderful and your desire to be of assistance is admirable and encouraging.

I can assure you that the Parish of Saints. Peter and Paul will continue and I trust that it will prosper and grow. In the meanwhile, we can all look forward to the '!;Doment when .your pastor, Father Coady, and the officials of the Chancery, after proper consultation with representatives of the parish council active in their advisory capacity, can present a workable, suitable and feasible plan for my approval. I am directing Father Coady to maintain the closest contact with Chancery about developments and to make reports from time to time to the parish council and to parishioners at large, and to make known to me the suggestions and thoughts of his parishioners.

In the meanwhile, I ask you to continue your wonderful spir.it, and your noble and encouraging interest'in your grand parish.

May God bless you all.

The original order restricted the number of pickets' (on isolated country roads, mind you) to one every hundred feet. Can you imagine a judge in Detroit or Pittsburgh, for example, issuing a similar order in the 'case of an auto workers or steel-workers strike?

Charges Church With Racism NEW ORLEANS (NC) - A black Catholic leader left office with bitter words about racism in the Church and a sense of "relief" that he would no longer .have "to confront lying and conniving Church officials."

James Duin, outgoing president o~ the Black Lay Catholic Caucus, spoke at the National Black Catholic Convention here.

"The Roman Catholic Church, much like President Nixon, is not about to admit its guilt, and the only solution that I can offer you as your outgoing chairman is to confront the Church on every corner and be prepared to suffer the consequences. Perhaps a Wounded Knee stand would be more appropriate for black Catholics-to take the necessary steps to rid the black community of the Catholic Church or to make it accountable to the black community."

Issues Warning On 'Tinkering' With Church, SEATILE (NC) - Leaders of the Knights of Columbus were warned against persons who "tinker with the Church to make her over according to some model indistinguishable from Protestan tism," Archbishop /{obert J. Dwyer of Portland, Ore., issued the warning in a sermon at a Mass. here opening the annual meeting of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columhus.

Archbishop Dwyer urged the Knights "to realize even more fully the dignity, the necessity, the challenge of the Catholic layman" while observing "with all care the due limits of your role."

While the Knights themselves understand the distinction bet.ween "the priesthood of all Christians and the sacrificing, sanctifying and teaching priesthood conferred by the explicit sacrament of orde'rs," the archbishop said some others do not.

'Disappointed Clerics' "I mention this merely with reference to that strange urge manifested by some of our contemporaries, mainly clerics disappointed either in love or in ambition, who would willingly tinker with the Church to make her over according to some qlodel indistinguishable from Protestantism," he said. "It is claimed that this is the mind and spirit of Vatican II, though nothing could be further from the truth.

They would destroy all distinc: tions of hierarchy, obliterate all structures, break down all authority and reduce it to impotence-all this in the name of relevance."

"We have our pains and aches," Archbishop Dwyer said, "our post-Vatican II problems and perplexities; we have com. munism and secularism, moral permissiveness and pornography; Supreme Court decisions on abortion and parochial school aid; and Watergate; but there is no death rattle sounding in the throat of Mother Church."

Clergymen Criticize Rights Violations MONTEVIDEO (NC) - The bishop and priests of Montevideo warn~d against "a constant violation of human dignity" in this nation of Uruguay, once a showcase . of democracy in Latin , Ameirca.

"Recent events dim all hope and optimism for the future," Archbishop" Carlos Parteli and his Priestly Council said in a document "on the state of the nation."

"We are in the midst of deterioration as shown by the ongoing crisis in all fields: economic, social, political and moral. There is a tightening vise on freedoms, a constant violation of human dignity, and the corrosion of the spirit of community and living together for which our ancestors worked so hard," the document said.

The Montevideo churchmen criticized recent, moves by the army-dominated government of President Juan Maria Bordaberry, who dissolved congress in June, such as its anti-trade union policies, the closing of schools, and economic prC?grams that led to increased unemployment.

I've never longed for a fur coat but some of the short battle jacket looks or the baseball jacket silhouettes such as those with wide ribbing around the waistline and large bright zippers up the front are quite Jrresis.tib1e.

Of course, these are fake furs and many are as good looking as the original (and the nice thing about them, besides their looks, is that no cuddly little animal had to give up his life for milady to be warm).

For that gal who is looking' for a really good wool coat that can stretch itself for many occasions there will be a large variety of looks, especially in the classical, ,or traditional silhou-

New Law Prohibits Fetal Experiments WASHINGTON (NC) -. President Richard M. Nixon has signed into law a bill which would prohibit the use of National Science Foundation (NSF) research funds for experimentation "on the living human fetus outside the womb." . ,The bIll, now Public Law 93-96, authorizes over $630 million to fund the NSF for the 1973-74 fiscal year.

In the House of Representatives the amendment forbidding research on liv.e fetuses outside the womb was sponsored by Rep. Angelo D. Roncallo (R.N.Y.) Rep. Roncallo hailed the sign-' ing as a first step in stopping the barbaric pracllice of us'ing live human fetuses for experimental purposes.

Classically simple in line, the -wool coat for 'fall will go to all lengths to gain popularity, with the kneelength version becoming even more popular than the midi.

This does not mean that you should relegate your midi to the' Thanksgiving' clothing' drive or grab scissors and chop it off above said kneecap, but what it does mean is that if you already have a midi· in your wardrobe enjoy it on cold wintery days, but don't overlook the possibility of buying a much shorter one if a new purchase is contemplated.

Also, don;t overlook a cape in your wardrobe. They are still going to be popular and as you already know they're smart as smart can be. '

Mission Gives Refuge To African Girls SALISBURY (NC}-More than a dozen African girls scared of being kidnapped by guerrillas were granted refuge at German, Jesuit-run St. Albert's mission in northeast Rhodesia about 120 miles from here.

Father Maurice Rea said that the girls pleaded with .mission authorities for protection. .

"After the recent kidnappings they realize that the terrorists want girls only as bed companions," Father Rea said.

The priest, who was abducted himself in a recent guerrilla raid on the mission, said that the guerrillas' talk about recruiting the girls "for nursing training in Zambia and other places is sheer nonsense.'" '

Students Forced to Use Temporary Facilities TORONTO (NC)-About lQ;OOO students in the Catholic school system of metropolitan Toronto -an estimated 12 per cent of the system's entire student population-are expected to be housed in temporary facilities this September because of spending cutbacks by the Ontario' provincial ministry Qf education.

In the past five years, the number of students of Catholic elementary. schools housed in temporary facilities 'in metropolitan Toronto has more than tripled, "creating;a very serious siltuation,:'according to Peter Menegi.lzzi, superintendent Qf business and finance of the Metro'politan, Separate (Catholic) School Board (MSSB).

In the past year, the education ministry has lumped both public and Catholic, also called separate schoolS together, in a given area, when deciding on capital allocations.

If there are sufficient vacant pupil places w.ithin this "family of schools," whether public or separate, the ministry will not approve funds for the construction of a new building.

Concern for Deaf Appointment of State Sc~ool Director Draws Protest NEW ORLEANS (NC) - As the deaf of Louisiana marched on the ,state capital (Baton Rouge) last weekend the priest who was supposed to lead them sat on the edge of a hospitai bed in New Orleans rooting for them.

Father Gerard Howell, head of the Catholic Deaf· Center of the archdiocese of New Orieans, was hospitalized with blood clots on his lungs only a few days before he was to lead a group of some 300 'deaf people in a march on the state education building' 'in Baton Rouge to protest the appointment of Elton Lamkin as head of the State School for 'the Deaf. Lamkin is the former head of the State School of Music and has had no experience in working with the deaf.

"Th¢re's absolutely noparaHel in administering a school of music and a school for the deaf," Father Howell said. "For instance, .one of the most serious problems we have in dealing with the deaf is a problem of communications. We have used firlger spelling in the past but this is physically and mentally exhausting. So we went to trying total communication which is a combination of finger spelling and gestures'.

"Now Mr. Lamkin has said there would be total communication throughout the system, at least outside the classroom.

This is deeply appreciated by the deaf. But wha~ they don't appreciate is Mr. Lamkin going

around making recommendations. H w can anybody who has had no xperience with th~ deaf go arou d making recommendations t at will affect deaf peopie?"

Fathe Howell said he is considering a lawsuit to give the deaf a oice.in the appointment of the s hool head.

"The school board was just' determi ed to appoint apolitical friend," e said. "It's outrageous.

Any T m, Dick or Harry can come al~ng and be a political appointee. Why, I'll just bet that blind P Qple all over the state woke u when they saw that appointme t and said, 'Hey the deaf got a music teacher to head up theischools, when are we going t get an art teacher t6., head u the school for the blind?'

WASHINGTON (NC)-Accusations of "unconsUtutiQnaI dnter- , ference" 'in the triall of four nuns a·rrested for praying in the White House were denied by President's Nixon counsel, Leonard Garment: Sistells Beverly Bell, Kallhel1ine ,'T. COOl', Christopher Lamb and Judifu Lafemina, were charged with illegaU entry at the beginningof July after kneeling and praying 'inside the White House a's a .protest against 1l11e bombing in Cambodia and "as a form of dIsobedience. " Carl A. Durkee, the nuns', attorney, told a District of Columbia Superior OUllt judge that a clerk in the U.S. A·ttorney's office told him that prosecutors were not free to dismiss the case because of pressures frQm presidential counsel Garment. Durkee 'said that minor cases like the nuns' were usuaLly settled out of court or dismissed promptly.

Judge Robert H. Campbell took the defense's allegations undel' advisement and is expected to rule Aug. 31. A defense subpoena of Garment and Michael Harter, the attorney's office clerk, asking that fuey appear in court was quashed by Judge Campbell.

Durkee had quoted Harlter as saying: "We would probably dismiss these cases; we don't think they' are very serious-but we have been gett,ing regu~ar calfs from the White House counsel."

Harter, who has been reassigned since the alleged convers,at'ion with ,the defense lawyer 'said that he could riot comment on the . matte,:, but said that he had been "completely misunderstood" and that his .reassignment was not re- . lated to the alleged conversation.

Chairman Asked

I read horoscopes regularly. They appear on the comics page in my daily newspaper and I'm pretty faithful about reading the comics too. I usually find my horoscope distressing. It tells me tidbits like: "Show more consideration for your children." "The Rare Day loved ones ~round you have CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. been under stress. Take over 20) One of those rare days.

This advice is a bit irritating on its own. But when my kids read it, it becomes outright nauseating.

"Hey, Mom! Did you see what you're suuposed to do tomorrow ... While we go to the. Qeach, you clean house and cook a great supper ... and then you tell us what nice kids we arc."

Fits Anybody admire the writing in horoscopes. It takes talent to lump millions of people into twelve categories and come up with a prediction that sounds personal, but when you analyze it, fits anybody. ,So I thought I'd write a "Horoscope for Mothers" with none of that good sound advice like: "Expect some set-backs today, but react patientiiy." "Show you are considerate and thoughtful."

"Do not take that loved one for granted." No, my version will tell you what you really want' to hear. .

Cardinal Offers Rules for Drivers

THE ANCHORThurs., Aug. 30,1973

Expect.: Fa rm Peace Talks To Resum'e

PARIS (NC)-Cardinal Francois Marty of Paris has proclaimed five commandments for drivers as part of a campaign to reduce traffic accidents on French roads.

In a pastoral letter, Cardinal Marty said that "every driver who puts himself' in danger of losing control of his vehicle com· mits a grave offense in the eyes of God." The 69-year-old cardinal warned in his commandments: I.-Never pass unless you can see clearly that the passing lane . is Clear. ' 2.':"'Don't drink. before driving.

The talks, which also involved national officials of the AFL·CIO, were called to settle the dispute between the Teamsters and UFWU over who should represent the farm workers.

Since April, th!,! Western Teamsters Conference, headquartered here, has signed up almost all the growers who formerly had' UFWU contracts.

De la Cruz was shot from a passing pick-up truck while leaving a UFWU picket line at a farm near here, and died later in Kern County Genera~ Hospital.

Register Editor Calls Newsweek Article Smear FORT WORTH (NC) - A Newsweek article "smears a broad group of organizations and publications, the National Catholic Register among them," said Dale Francis, editor of the national Catholic weekly .that is published here.

Francis reacted to Newsweek's two-page Aug. 6 article "Thunder on the Catholic Right," with an Aug. 12 editorial decrying the "injustice of the attack on us."

The Newsweek story linked Francis and the Register with Twin Circle, The Wanderer, and Our Sunday Visitor-all national Catho,.Iic weeklies-and Homiletic and Pastoral Review, which Newsweek described as "a middle-brow monthiy aimed at Catholic clergy."

"They call this paper 'archconservative' and suggest by in-' nuendo that I, as editor, am something other than faithful to the Church," said Francis in his editorial.

Support Bishops "We are not the only ones defamed but naturally we are particularly aware of the injustice of the attack on us ... We have supported the bishops wholeheartedly, in every project, every proposal, every statement."

In a phone interview with NC News Francis said the Register is of a "different nature" tltan other national weeklies. "The others are commentary," he said.

"They're essentially magazines,' though in newsprint." . "We cover the whole range of news," he said. "I think we're really a moderate paper."

Francis objected particularly to Newsweek's statement that "rightist American Catholics have launched an all-out attack on the Church's hierarchy and institutions."

Conservative Groups Besides the publications it listed, Newsweek also dted such conservative organizations as Catholics United for the Faith (CUF), Parents for Orthodoxy in Parochial EducAtion (POPE), the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation (CMF) and the Society for the Christian Commonwealth (SCC).

"I know of none of the groups listed that are disloyal," Francis said.

"Personally I might disagree wi.th their views, just as I disagree with the .views of many others," he added.

Although he objected to Newsweek's assertions, Francis said that in the long run he felt "philosophical" about the matter.

"They're not going to harm us," he said. "The people who read the paper will know we're not out to destroy the Church.'.'

Threaten Bolivian Justice Workers LA PAZ (NC)-Three members of the Bishops' Justice and Peace Commission hete were threatened with. expulsion after their statements on documented violations of human rights by the government.

Talk of Changing Role of Women NEW ROCHELLE (NC)-More than 500 Sisters ended a convention here promising to put theory into action in efforts to make the role of women more meaningful in the Church and society.

The pledges for action came at the third annual convention of the National Assembly of Women Religious (NAWR) held at the , College of New Rochelle. MAWR representatives from 48 states and the District of Columbia attended the four-day meeting.

Sister Ethne Kennedy, NAWR's outgoing chairman, told the convention that women have been oppressed so long that they don't even know how to take advantage of opportunities given to them. • "We have to eduoate and stimulate ourselves to become active in the roles that are presently open to us and move toward the development of other roles," she said.

Sister Mary Rehmann, newly' elected.NAWR administrative as· sistant, told NC News Service that Sisters today are interested in seeing all women, not just nuns, become more active locally in meaningful projects.

Wri'ter Voices Complaint About Day,S 'Full of Trivia "How's your novel coming along?" a friend asked yesterday. Seeing my expression, he' added hastily, "I guess you have a writer's slump, huh?'" A slump? A writer's slump? I should be so lucky. Right now, I'd consider writer's slump pure luxury. A writer's slump demands hours fices. while men are spirited in ahead of her because "they have of sitting at the typewriter to, get back to work... , staring straight, ahead while.

men. Women don't like days of trivia any more than men do: Women aren't conditioned by nature but by men to be doers of the unimportant. And women who accept this role find their children picking it up at an . alarmingly early rge. "Mom, J need ... " and "Mom. take ,me ...... not ''I'll get it myself" become 'the order of the day.

Somewhere the idea that mom is at the constant call of all family members has to be challenged.

Mom is a person, not a conven-' ience. She isn't doing anyone any real favor when she becomes exhausted and frustrated day after day by tri'lia. Just like the frustrated man, she is soon avoided by those whose errands' have exhausted her, and while she may fel she has "done her duty" as defined by our culture, she~ isn't enjoying her role the way she could if the bothersome' daily trivia were more equitably shared in the family.

Protest Novel Aid Proposal CONCORD (NC) - A New Hampshire tuition voucher program with a novel twist~it would aid ·all private schooJs in the state except those witlh religious affiliation-was protested by two citizens' groups.

The statewide New Hampshire Gi,tizens for a Pure Voucher System and. the national Catholic League for R:eligious and Civil Rights praised the idea of a voucher system, but they said ,that by excluding only students attending sectarian schools,the present proposal is an unconstitutiomil form of discrimination' against persons because of their religious beliefs.

The Catholic League backed up its claim by dting a 1963 U.S. Supreme Court ruling which said that "no state may exclude Indians, Mohammedans, Baptists,

Under the program, 'which was approved on an experimental basis by the state board of educat,jon, vouchers equaling the cost of public school education in a school district would be given to each student in the district.

The vouchers could then be used to enroll the student in his local public school or to pay partial tuition in a private, nonsectarian school of his choice.

The Catholic League and the New Hampshire citizens' group threatened to block the program winh court suits, but they made it clear that the exclusion of sectarian schools from the program was their only objection.

The national planning committee Of the community's Social Action Conference also announced support, of the boycott of head lettuce and grapes not bearing the black eagle label of the United Farm Workers Union.

Other issues discussed by 500 Sisteli'S of Mercy at this year's Genetal Chapter - the community's highest decision-making body-were the power of sister· hood, education towards justice and Christian values in a consumer society.

The order of Sisters of Mercy of the Union has more than 5,000 members working in the United States, Central and South Amer· ica.

The community is responsible for 10 colleges, 73 hospitals, 450 schools, 51 catechetical centers, several residences for the aged, woman, and child care homes. In addition to this, an increasing number of its members have become engaged in social services and pastoral ministry apostolates.

Sister Mary Concilia Moran, administrator general, told the assembly that the power of "sisterhood" - the discovery of whic~1, she said, is evolving among women everywhere - is something which "we here gath.. ered have known all our adult lives."

"Sisterhood flows from shared dreams, shared hopes-from the common pursuit of an ideal," she said.

nation, every culture, every age is haunted by the memory and example of men and women whose pre-eminent goodness, generosity, self-giving and selfforgetting raise them as much aoove our ordinary day-to-day mixture of human good and eV'il as is human rationality - and responsibility above teh instinctive life of animaIs. If saints and prophets and sages had'been venerated in only one age and one civilization, we could dismiss them as "sports" of nature, interesting, no doubt, even inspiring, yet not of any overwhelming. significance.

Obscure Ideal lBut it is not so. Everywhere, at every time, the pre-eminence of supreme virtue embodied in heroic sanctity is obscurely felt to be the ideal towards which mankind, always failing, always stumbling, gropes its way. We can quote again the words of Leon Bloy. Part of the world's immense burden of missed opportunities and frustrated desire lies in "the sadness of not being saints."

The concern, the vision are universal. For over 2,000 years, China venerated "the first Holy One," the sage Confucius who preached loyalty, respect and good order throughout a life selflessly devoted to teaching and inspiring a country bemused by civil war and by the evil opportunism of many of its leaders.

We can find something of the agonies of doubt and search men experienced in those troubled days in the words of a scholar exiled from the Court - about 480 BC-and vainly asking the local soothsayer for certainty: "All order is reversed. The wing of a cicada weighs a thoussand pounds. The jewelled cup is used as a cooking pot. How can I be sure to distinguish good from evil?"

70 such men Confucius brought the calm of soul and peace of good judgment which are specially longed for when the times are evil.

Disengagement In India, the Lord Buddha, a prince's son, encountered one

worldly goods and gave himself to the example and teaching of "detachment" - that disengagement of the self for all the desires and. drives of :'our proud and angry dust" which allows disinterested love and disinterested service to take their hungry place.

Similarly the king remembered before all other kings in India is Asoka who, seeing the destruction his armies had brought to a defeated province, renounced war as a means of state and became a king of peace.

In Egypt, where the identification of the state and religion reached a climax in pyramidbuilding, semi-divine rulers, the dynasties and Pharoahs have faded into the shadows of pillaged tombs. But Ahknaton 'stands alone and clear in the light of history, the Pharoah who attempted to persuade the whole of Egyptian society to worship the single univer~al Godhead.

In the antecedents of Western society, we see the same order of values. In spite of all Alexander's dazzling conquests, the ancients treasured above all the memory of Socrates, submitting with Christ-like dignity to unjust death at the hands of a tyrannical state. And the Hebrews of the Old Testament whose voices re-echo in our ears to this dayoften, perhaps, incongruously, in . the language of Communism -are the pro~hets living in total austerity and speaking to the whole Jewish community of judgment and responsibility, of sin and salvation.

At Center, Christ At the centre of this universal mystery of the pre-eminence of spiritual values stands the figure of Christ, the Second Adam. By what apparent violation of an. the laws of historical likelihood should a Jewish carpenter, executed as a common felon in a remote Roman province still exercise his "godspell" on 20th century man, still be the "super star" of millions of searching young people, still speak to us from the· novels of a Sovietraised Solzhenytsin, still launch bus boycotts in Atlanta, still cry out from the penal settlements of South Africa?

We cannot escape the evidence. As the flowing tides of history move on to other horizons, what is left behind is not primarily the memory of conquerors and adventurers. There is a depressing saineness about them. Cultures in their beauty and diversity are on the whole defined not by such men but by the religious values expressed in the living witness of sages and seers, of the prophets and saints. This fact is yet another proof of the underlying psychic unity of mankind.

Speaker at CFM Convention Stresses One··Parell1t Family NOTRE DAME (NC-The recognition of the one-parent family as a whole and truly Christian family marked an international Christian Family Movement (CFM) meeting here.

Meeting at the University of Notre Dame, the 1,200 delegates from the United States, Canada and Mexico heard Antoinette Bosco, a divorced mother of six, say that the one parent family should not be stigmatized as a less than normal or broken family.

"Broken means disrupted, no order or unity," Mrs. Bosco said.

"This can hEl-ppen when one parent is gone;' it can happen with both parents present.

"The one parent family is a whole and Christian family if there is unity and peace," she stated "if it js a place where members are comfortable with their religion, if love dominates

the atmosphere."

Father John R. McCall, director of the Institute for the Study of Religious Education and Service at Boston College, explained' the family's prime function as helping "each of its members to be free enough to be able to value himself in the fast-moving world in which the signpoints are blurred by the rate of speed by which we move and by the polarization that has hit institutions in our society."

The CFM convention also proposed a kind of constitution for families which was modeled after the Preamble to the U. S. Constitution.

Thirty-seven workshops wer~ sponsored by the CFM convention which was dedicated to promoting the family as a most favorable situation for a person to find love and acceptance.

Brother Bob Hoffman, one of the Brothers in charge of the volunteer work, told of asking directions from a native, who said, "Oh, yes, you're the people who help people," recognition typically received by the volunteers in the various communities in which they worked.

A mother and her five children who had been trying for a long time to build a house received the help of summer volunteers in laying the foundation and put· ting up the frame for their house. The family will now complete the building themselves.

Broader Base Another Glenmary Brother guiding the summer program was Brother Al Behm. He said the lessons learned by the 1973 volunteers in working and sharing with people of another culture are much like the responses of previous summer recruits.

"Though the people of Appalachia are, for the most part, poor and the area is backward technically, they have a value system of their own and an appreciation for life that is often missing in an urban environment.

The volunteers nearly always discover that richness has a broader base than a bank account."

The ~ork comes to ~s by one of thos~ peculiar, but fascinating, circumhances of which history is so fhll.

The !l?tory begins in' the 12tli century before Christ with the invasioh of Egypt by a nation knownl as the "Sea Peoples."

They sf'!emed to be a dukes mixture ot tribes .from the Balkan area aid the Aegean. and Mediterran an 'Islands, who used Crete s a jumping-off place for their irlvasion. '.

The I Pharoah Rameses III . soundly defeated the Sea Peoples, ~ho backed off and made another successful invasion further u~ the Eastern coast of the Medite ranean. .

They left no language '.0f their own, and their appearance, short-term domination, then disappeadnce as a nation, provides I the ba kground for much of the Deuter nomist's history of the Israelit s.

Introduced Iron s the slaying of the Phil-

istine warrior Goliath that started the shepherd David on his ascent to the throne of Israel (1 Sam. 17). It was in a battle with the Philistines that King Saul was killed (1 Sam. 31), and it was in an earlier battIe that the Ark of the Covenant fell into Philistine hands (1 Sam. 4). , The enmity continued between the Israelites and the descen·· dants of the Philistines, even after the decline of Philistia as a nation.

It is impossible to discover the origin of the name Philistine, but it was -to survive by virtue of the fact that the early Greek sailors would apply the name of .the coastal nation to the whole of the southern portion of the Land of Canaan. The name became Palestin to the Greeks and Palestine to the world.

Make no mistake about it, the Philistines were tough. In addition, they had a pretty important advantage over the Israelites and other inhabitants of the area.

They introduced the ~se of iron into the area and for a considerable period of time had a monopoly on iron weapons and tools _ (1 Sam. 13:19-22). ~ Pentapolis They formed a five-city league, called a pentapolis, made up of Gaza, Ashkelon and Ashdod on the coast, and Gath and Ekron further inland. Ruins of the cities of Ashkelon and Ashdod can be found today on the Palestinian coast at Khirbet Askalan and Eshdud.

volved. He cites few sources, but one has the impression that his work is strictly factual.

Richie was the son of George and Carol Diener. His parents were both born in Brooklyn and grew up there. George was 43 at the time of the shooting; his wife was younger. He had been baptized a Catholic, had gone to parochial school, but by the age of 16 had lapsed.

At 14 he joined the merchant marine, after ten grades of education, and for the next seven years he was in the merchant marine for two stretches and in the army 'for one. In 1952 he married Carol Ring, whose pareents were not at all pleased with the match. Richie was born in 1954, and another son, Russell, was born in 1961.

George Diener was a salesman.

He never earned big money, but he was anxious to get away from an apartment in the city and to have a house in the suburbs.

This he managed to do when Richie was two years old.

In Suburbia He was proud of the house which he managed to acquire with a small down payment, prouder still of the bigger house to which the family moved some years later. He installed an above-the-ground swimming pool and bought a color TV set. When Carol returned to work, theirs was a two-car family. They never went to church.

Richie was not a popular child.

He was overweight in his early school years, and was excluded from the doings of his peers. His first school re'ports 'Characterized him as a troublemaker who lacked self-discipline.

At home, his disciplining was left to his father. But when George Diener imposed a penalty on his son for wrong doing, Carol, on being appealed to, usually revoked it.

The boy was a loner, interested in animals and snakes. He had a collection of books dealing with nature, and a succession of pets. It might be that he would, becaus.e of his knowledge of snakes, make a career of herpetology. But his career would be otherwise.

Drugs Available When Richie entered the local high school, the regime there

times a student who had taken an overdose, became violent and had to be secured to a stretcher and carried to a hospital across the street.

At 14, Richie began with marijuana. He hid it in his room at home, which he had transformed with psychedelic decor. He spent hours there, listening to rO'ck music. It is never explained how he got the money for his pur· chases of many kinds.

He had now acquired friends who made his parents uneasy.

The latter suspected that something might be amiss, but did nothing effective about it.

OIegal Pills Richie took up. barbiturates.

These were very easy to obtain.

A narcotics officers styled their use "a phenomepon of teen-age status." When big shipments of illegal pillS became available in town, overdoses with bad effects were common.

The boy was increasingly regarded as eccentric and unpredictable. He would commit sud· den acts of violence. But he was using pills for a whole year before his parents awoke to what was going on.' An encounter with the police failed to alert them.

George Diener realized .that Richie was a problem, but felt helpless to. solve that problem.

Soon Richie would be 16" an adult under the law. Maybe the law would straighten him out.

Meanwhile George maintained a policy of silence toward his son.

He said to his wife, "If I don't talk to. him, he doesn't yell at me, and if he doesn't yell at me; then there's quiet around the house."

Bizarre Affair The year 1971 was one of bizarre adventure for Richie. He waS on pills, smoked marijuana, tried opium and heroin. He was one of a group of four which did some burglary and some shoplifting. Also during that year, he went straight for. a few weeks, got a job, saved $375. But he was soon back in his now familiar ways.

When his desperate father, on occasion, departed from his policy of silence and remonstrated with .the youth, Richie made ugly threats. George bought a bug for his home teiephone, installed it, and taped Richie's telephone calls. Most of these contained some references to drugs-buying them, se11ing them, getting high, etc.

The family was now i.n turmoil, and the fatal 'day was fast approaching. On that day, Richie borrowed his mother's car, dosed himself with pills, was involved in one co11ision, shortly in another. In the second, he totally wrecked the car he was driving.

Richie's troubles were over. . A grand jury refused to indict George Diener for murder.

This is a book which gives no pleasure. But it deserves general attention because the case which it presents, epitomizes disorders rending and weakening our society.

Paramount, of course, is the drug disorder, and in particular, in this instance, the scandal of the availability of barbiturates.

Then, there is the matter of a sensible bringing up for children, the inculcation of principles and values, the parental discipline which leads to self-discipline.

Related to this is reasonable control of students in school, the setting and enforcement of standards of conduct.

Also, the myth of the suburban paradise is exploded. Sheer greed does not make for virtue. Insensate materialism does not make for happiness.

Revel~tion

God Made Known Unfortunately the clear recognition of the finality of God's I'evelation to man through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus has at times been a factor in closing persons to an appredation that God continues to l:ommunicate himself to man.

God can and does make himself known to people today and pre:;umably will continue to do :;0 in the future. He does :;0 through the Scriptures as it is understood within the Church.

He does so through daily experiences, through people, and through nature.

God tries in a variety of ways make himself known, to help )eople better understand their ,)wn lives. He attempts to share :limself with people through the ,)rdinary and extraordinary ,~vents of their lives as well as '~hrough the Scriptures and traditions of the Church.

Contemporary Signs

1:0

The Vatican Co~~cil II calls such experiences "signs of the times" through which we may today discern God's presence and activity (Church in Modern World, 4,11). God's self-communication through such contemporary signs can lead to deeper insight into the Scriptures, while the Scriptures as interpreted within the Church remain the norm for interpreting contemporary signs. God's self-communication. in. daily life can be recognized in the light of the· Scriptures interpreted in the Church.

The maturing Catholic needs to learn to read both the Bible and the signs of the times if his faith is to remain open to God wherever he may make himself known.

Gaza, the last of the five cities of the pen-.. tapolis has been very much in the news in recent years as the population center of the Gaza Strip, that finger of Egypt that extended into the Israeli heartland prior to its occupation during the Six Day War in 1967.

The Philistines are a good example of a people about which we know very little since they left no written documents and apparently had no ll,mguage of their own. But their pottery was distinctive and told the archeologists that these mysterious Sea Peoples had come to this land by way of Cyprus, Rhodes and Southern Greece, since it incorporated geometric and animal designs peculiar to those areas.

By their pottery, their fighting ability, and certainly by their name ... the Philistines have left their mark on the Lands of the Bible.

It would not be unreasonable, however, to bet that the food price increase (particularly since it was caused by the Russian grain deal) disturbs Americans more than all the other phenomna combined.

Moynihan then goes on to say that the South Building might be turned over to' the 'Smithsonian Institution where, along with Cam Ranh Bay it might make a marvelous memorial to a certain kin1 of mentality, and concludes with the comment, "Let this sad ending be a lesson to the next U.

As he puts it, he has been driven to that "all but final extremity" of publishing a collections of his essays, appropriately entitled Coping (Random House). The book records Moynihan's thoughts from a 1961 prediction of the collapse of the Democratic party in New York when the Jewish reformers would drive the Catholic ethnics out to an address to the Harvard College in 1972. There are few political thinkers and doers who would be brave enough to gather together everything they had written 'during that troubled eleven years. Moynihan can afford to because he has been right virtually all of the time. '(Incidentally, his ess.ay commenting on a concentration camp church, "Maria Regina Martyrurn," is a rare insight into where Moynihan is religiously).

Pottery Decorates Mi!ision Church PIS~NEMO (NC) The once drab-looking mission church here, operated by the Franciscan Fatheil's, has been painted by a Papago Indian artist to give the appearance of a large piece of Indian, colorful pottery, one of the top arts of the Papago Indian.

ThiS tiny village is the Papago reservation.

The whole idea started when veteran Franciscan missionary, Father Camillus Kavaganaro, observed Frank Mariano, 26, jotting down ideas on a piece of paper at an Arizona trading post.

He suggested that Mariano decorate the chapel with something to inspire and encourage the Indian parishioners.

Madano developed a set of black, white and pottery red de-. signs. The interior is a zigzag of triangles, columns and offsets, and decorated the church with an Indian pottery motif.

The Rochester prelate replied: "By carrying back these sacred oils to your respective parish churches, you take part in the sacramental ministry ...... of the whole diocese. You, parish representatives,- are part of Christ's ongoing mission of strengthening and sanctifying, of healing and gladdening."

Vatican II documents speak about that foremost or model manifestation of the Church in which when a bishop surrounded by his priests and with laity celebrates the Eucharist. The magnificent Canandaigua event, enriched, naturally, by excellent music and congregation singing, wa~ just that.

No' wonder Bishop Hogan judged this to be "the most joyful celebration I have experienced since I became bishop three years ago."

Chicago Center' Trains Priests, lay Persons CHICAGO (NC) - "We start with some things we know are basic-that theology is not static ... and that human beings are not static," said Father James P. Roache, director of the Center for Pastoral Ministry of the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Father Roache has been given the task of organizing and operating an in-service education center for the priests and lay persons who have ecclesiastical positions in the archdiocese.

"Theology is growing, the understanding, the information of it, the power that it has," Father Roache continued. "Secondly, the human individual has got to be growing too."

The center's main task, Father Roache said, is to prepare people for positions with which they might not be familiar. "Instead of just throwing someone into a special work':'-such as in the inner city, or with the Spanishspeaking-you would try to prepare him appropriately for it," he said.

This implies that the center must' take on the role of researcher if it is to have the information for its students. This in turn implies discovering what the students expect and need.

For example, Father Roache said, "we take groupings to two or three years-a couple from, for instance, the ordination classes of 1967, 1968, 1969-and ask them about the interests or needs for their own particular age group. It might be religious education for some; preaching for others; or ministering to the sick. Then we try to arrange the appropriate programs to meet those needs."

The best way to meet the needs of the priests, Father Roache noted, is the short term study programs, because most priests do not have time to spend extended periods away from their duties. .

Amendment To Aid School Sought TALLAHASSEE (NC) The Florida legislature will be asked to memorialize the Congress to enact a Constitutional Amendment that would permit tuition grants or tax credits for students enrolled in nonpublic schools.

Rep. Lewis Earle of Winter Park, a Methodist, said his proposal provides that "public funds may be used for tuition grants or tax credits may be granted for students enrolled in any nonpublic. educational institution, notwithstanding the institution's affiliation with a religious organization, .provided that the extent , of public funding shall be strictly limited to secular educational purposes."

The resolution was prefiled for the 1974 session of the legislature.

Archdiocese Denies Racism' Charge PHILADELPHIA (NC) - The Association of Catholic Teachers (ACT) has charged that an archdiocesan decision granting high school students in a predominantly white parish the option of attending either a city or suburban high school is "promoting segregation in its school system:' While hesitant to say that the decision announced in June by Bishop Martin N. Lohmuller was designed to deliberately foster segregation, Rita Schwartz, executive secretary of ACT said: "I sometimes think that the archdiocese doesn't look at all of the possible repercus'sions of its decisions. Deliberate or not, this could develop into a very ugly situation:' Ninth and tenth graders of partly urban, partly suburban Our Lady of Lourdes parish, now have the option of attending the suburban school, Archbishop John Carroll High School, or either St. Thomas More (boys) High School or West Catholic Girls' High School in the city.

"We flatly reject the charge of segregation and racism," said Edward Devenny, director of the Archdiocesan Communications Office. "The consideration was not made on.a racial basis."

He explained that the option was originally suggested by a delegation of parents of Our Lady of Lourdes parish who conducted surveys and gathered other information for a presentation to the superintendents' office.

"The concerns of the parents were in two basic areas," he

said. "They were concerned about the safety factor in having their children travel on public transportation during regular and after school hours and they,' as well as the city government here, were concerned 'about stabilizing the neighborhood."

Not a Precedent The parents took a survey of

Holy See Accepts Abbot's Resigntion VATICAN CITY (NC) - The Holy See has accepted the resignation of the controversial Benedictine Abbot of St. Paul's Outside the Walls, a colorful campaigner against U. S. involvement in Vietnam and Vatican involvement in ~igh finance.

Abbot Giovanni Franzoni's resignation was accepted Aug. 20, 11 weeks after he announced he would resign and five weeks after he actually ,submitted his resignation.

Before accepting the resignatIon, Pope Paul VI ordered a poll of monks of the celebrated monastery of St. Paul's Outside the Walls, which is attached to one of Rome's major basilicas. The Holy See stated that the "clear will of the monastic community" wa~ that Abbot Franzoni's resignation be accepted.

Father Franzoni was elected abbot for a 10-year term in 1964. at the age of 35. He espoused demilitarization, the right to exemption from the draft for conscientious objectors, and revision or even abrogation of Italy's concordat with the Vatican.

the reasons why families had moved from the city to the suburbs and one of the questions asked was: "Would you have moved if this option (to have your children attend either a metropolitan or suburban high school) had been available?

"Most of the parents answered 'no,'" Devenny said.

Devenny said that the large majority of students eligible to opt for Archbishop Carroll high schools have not done so. Only 10 of 55 eligible students plan to attend the sUbttrban school. " He also added that while the decision of allowing students to opt for either city or suburban schools is not expected to spread, this latest option does not set a precedent.

"The adjoining parish to Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Barbara's, was given the same option several years ago," Devenny said; "The parish is 80 per cent black and the school ,is 'almost 98 per cent black. Most of the ninth and tenth graders have been opting for Archbishop Carroll."

NOTTINGHAM (NC) - The Vatican is open to suggestions for setting a f,ixed date for Easter, Cardinal Arturo Tabera Araoz, prefect of the Congrega·tion for Divine Worship, told a liturgical conference in Nottingham Ihere in England. , If a fixed date were decided on it would have to be ,in consultation with other denominations and secular authorities, he said.

The Spanish cardinal told 140 Religious and lay members of the Society of St. Gregory that reform of the Church's liturgy had been completed at the Church's center and all now depends on the adoption of reforms by local Churches.

Adoption of the reforms by different peoples w1th different cultures hold grea,t possibilities but ·also great dangers because the reforms could be distorted from their central purpose, he saki.

Liturgical Reform Na'tional commissions can compose Eucharistic prayers as they see fit, but they Ishould be aware that a great variety is al,ready available, including introductions, prayers of the fa'ithful and homilies. Much of what is .available is scarcely being used, the cardinal saki.

Cardinal Taberasaid that Pope Paul had told him he thought the Vatican CQuncii had oroduced its most abundant f.ruits in liturgical ref.orm. The reforms now need to be transferred from books to souls, he sa'id.

His own congregation, he -said, is currently working on Eucharistic pravers for children and the Iitturgy of Penance. ' Instruction Important He said he sees rliturgical renewal as floWiing from the movement of -the Holy Spirit in the Church, enabl'ing 'its peonle to enter more fully into the life of Christ. But for this to be effective, he said, adequate instruction of both priests and people is most impol'tant.

In addition to recommending the use of the new Divine Office by lay people, he mentioned the forthcoming publication of a hook of prayers containing popular devotJions for adaptaNon to the needs of peo,:,rle everywhere: "People must learn ,to live the new liturgy in a contemplative spirit." he said. "The center of the Church and the local Churches must collaborate more fully, providing mutual stimulus for each other."
