Aid asked for Third World WASHINGTON (NC) --.:. Car­ dinal Alexandre do Nascimento, president of Caritas Internation­ sJis, called on western nations to increase their aid to develop­ ing countries, pllrticullU'ly to African nations whose economies have been battered by a major drough~.

"I hppe we can reoeive more (help), .for the children, esp~ci­ ally," ~he 59-year-old cardinal, who is from Angola in southern Africa, Said in Washington Sept.

27. He' said medicine is often in short supply.

Caritas International's secre­ tary general, Gerhard Meier, who accompanied the cardinal on his visit to the United States, said that while the United States aid is important, "to say that it's enough I think would be exag­ gerated."

"There are many, many per­ sons in the Jast conditions of life," Cardinal do Nascimento said. The cardinal was in Wash­ ington during his U.S. visi,t on behalf of the Catholic relief or­ ganization. He spoke at a press briefing at the U.S. Catholic

Conference.

While calling for aid, the car­ dinal also urged the "stronger cu,Uures" to respect the values of weaker nations with which they deal.

Meier said that one frequent problem of western aid efforts "was that we started with well­ developed technologies and we didn't respect the social, cultural situation on .the spot."

He said that new ideas, such as reducing d,eforestation by in­ trod,ucing al,ternatives to wood­ Turn to Page Six

10th

On Monday, the Columbus Day holiday, members of the Fall River diocese are inv~ted to join in ,the 10th annual candleHght procession and Mass for peace in Fall River.

ASlin previous' years, marchers will meet at 5:30 p.m. at St. Mary's Cathedral to march about a mile Ito Kennedy 'Park. They will carry candles, rec~te the rosary and sing Marian hymns in Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, PoLish and English. A statue of Our Lady will be car­ ried in the procession.

In previous years the Mass for peace has been celebrated in Kennedy Park, but because of the uncertainty of weather con­ ditions, ,this year's liturgy will ta}te place in St. Anne's Church, which faces the park at South

Main and Middle Streets.

The principal concelebrant· will be Msgr. Luiz Mendonca, diocesan vicar general, taking the plaoe of Bishop Daniet A. Cronin, who will be in Boston as a co-consecrator at the episcopal ordination of Msgr. Maurus Mul­ doon, OFM, for Olanco, Hon­ duras.

Priests of the diocese wishing to concelebrate the Columbus Day Mass are asked to bring an alb and stole.

Disabled or elderly persons should proceed directly to St. Anne's Church, where a special area will be reserved for their use.

Parish groups marching to the church are encouraged to identi­ fy themselves with banners or flags.

The central event in the Oct. 10-13 trip, whiClh includes an overnight stop in Zaragoza, Spain, is expected to be the pope's meeting with Latin Am­ erican bishops Oct. 11 in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dom­ inican Republic. ' ' The bishops will inaugurate a "·novena of years" leading up to' the 1992 anniversary of chris­ topher Columbus' first voyage 'to the New World and 'the sub­

New Vatican directive for pastors

S'erve 6 years or indefinitely WASHINGTON (NC) In assigning pastors to parishes, U.S. bishops can opt for six­ year renewable terms as the only altern'ative to indefinite terms of office, says a new Vatican· approved policy for the United States.

Dioceses which up to now have

had differing limited-term poli­

cies will be required to conform

wi,th the new nationwide policy.

Pope John Paul II rejected the wishes of the National Confer­ ence of Catholic 'Bishops, which . had asked permission to leave' the 'length of limited terms of office for pastors up to each diocesan bishop, rather than set a uniform plan for the whole 'country.

Bishop James Mailone of Youngstown, Ohio, NCCB presi­ dent, spelled out ,the new policy in a decree issued Sept. 24 and effective i~ediately.

"Individual· ordinaries (dioce­ san bishops) may appoint pastors to a six-year term of pffice," says the decree.

"The possibility ,of renewing this term is left to the discretion of the diocesan bishop," it acIds. "The .primary provision of Canon 522 (of the church's Code of Canon'Law) that pastors may be appointed for an indefJnite period of tbne remains in force," it says. .In a' covering letter to the country's bishops, Msgr. Daniel Hoye, NCCB general secretary, said that the Vatican did not find' it acceptable to 1eave it up to each bishop to decide on the duration of fixed terms of office for pastors.

When the new Code of Canon Law went into effect in Novem­ her 1983, it set indefinite terms for pastors as the norm but al­ lowed bishops' conferences to es­ tablish fixed terms by decree, subject to ap'proval by the Holy See. When the U.S. bishops met in Washington two weeks before the new code took effect, they voted 244-25 to aHow bishops to adopt limited tenure policies, and they voted 240-12 to aeave the length and renewability of such terms up to the .discretion of each diocesan bishop.

In May the Vatican's Congre­ gation for Bishops replied' that the length of the term ihad to be spelled out in -the national de­ cree. It urged "six years as a minimum or 10 years," said' Msgr. Hoye. ' The bishops' Canonical Affairs Committee asked that the term be four to six years minimum, since ·differing sizes of dioceses and .the~r number of priests ar­ gued for some flexibility, .Msgr.

Hoye wrote.

In response, NOCB 'leaders were informed orally in June and by letter .in September "that the Holy Father wishes the term to be specified at six years," Msgr. Hoye said.

In the years' following t~e Second Vatican Council a num­ ber of U.S. bishops instituted limited tenure policies for pas­ tors, usuailly af.ter consultation with priests' senates .and other advisory bodies.

Father Donald Heintschel, NCCB associate general secre­ tary,' said that appointments of pastors' which were made under local/norms' before the new code took effect would remain valid until the terms expire, but any renewals or new appointments made after Sept. 24 of this year . would have to follow the new six-year norm.

In actual practice, he noted. changing pastoral needs 'arising from deaths, retirements and other circumstances mean that no appointments are absolute.

'Spark of light'

THE ANCHOR Friday, Oct. 5, 1984

WASHINGTON (NC) - Mercy Sister Carol Rittner found a "spark of light" at the first in­ ternational conference devoted to ll'esouers of Jews during the Nazi holocaust. The conference coordinator, she said that stories of those who helped Jews es­ cape death gave her hope. The conference, "Faith an Human­ kind: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust," examined Ohristian response to the holocaust, in which 6 million Jews died.

Among examples given were ac­ counts of Protestants in Le­ Chambon, France, who helped save about 2,000 Jews; a peasant ,Polish couple .who hid Jewish boys on their farm for two-and­ one-half years; and a Dutch couple who hid a Jewish dentist and his family for s~veral . months.

Catholic Educators in Catholic Schools It might seem almost sacrilegious even to comment ,on the fact that it is wonderful to see Catholic school teachers concerned about being Catholic, with all that implies. If there is one significant development on our educational scene, it is, that more and more young Catholic teachers want to teach in a school that is indeed Catholic.

There were some meager and barren years when reli­ gion was not of serious concern to some Catholic school teachers. It was more fashionable to be a critic of the in­ stitutional church than to b~ a reflection of the living church.

As a result, some of our colleges, universities, high schools and even grammar schools became experimental playgrounds for avant-garde dilettantes; Religion was measured merely by its relevance to, social concerns. If it did not have socialized value, it was devoid of true meaning. With this mind, many of our so­ called Catholic educators found themselves throwing out the proverbial baby with the bath water. Indeed it was a time when even many religious found themselves leaving the church in their personal struggle to discern the mean­ ing ofhonesty and sincerity in their life and living.

The result -of confusion on the teaching level certainly had its effect on the learning level. For over a decade many pupils were led to confusion of mind and doubt of soul as teachers used the classroom as a sounding board for per­ sonal conflict~ and pains. Impressionable students were ~ore than influenced by the turmoil of teachers seeking their own identity.

Today the corner has been turned:, There may be fewer religious teachers in Catholic schools, but there is a greater determination that religious education 'be para­ mount in them. On all levels, from nurs.ery school to uni­ versity, there is renewed effort to bring the teaching of the church, rather than an individual point of view, into the classroom.

During his recent visit to Canada our, Holy Father made direct reference to this revival in an address to Cath­ olic teachers, reminding them of the sacred trust given them both by the church and the parents of the students.

Catholic teachers should be co-workers with the church in helping fulfill Christ's mandate to make disciples of all nations, said the pontiff. They should lead the young to Christ, inspiring' them to follow him, showing them his boundless love and concern for them through the ex­ ample of their own lives. "To teach means not only to im­ part what we know" but, also to reveal who we are by living what we believe," declared the pope.

It is with regard to this latter, lesson that 'Catholic schools have begun to experience a second spring. More lay teachers have truly come to believe that they share in, the proclamation of the Word in the service of truth.

They are seeking to develop the mind and spirit of ,those whom they teach, guiding them to maturity, of faith, knowledge and understanding. By realizing that -they as , Catholic, teachers can offer their students the truth of the Lot:d and his church, they are at the ,same time' nelping them-' experien~e his freedom. Catholic teachers, as the 'pOpe sa~d, are called to serve and spread Christ's liberating' tru~'"

The abortion debate:

By,Father Kevin J. Harrington The abortion debate rages with fury that seems increasing even as a consensus that cuts across creeds grows in oppos~tion to convenience abortion.

For the part, the secular media are using the e'lection campaign to categollize abortion as an is­ sue of importance solely to con" servative Catholics and followers of the Rev. Jerry Falwell.

Nothing could be further from the truth, no matter to what lengths the media go to muddy Pte qssue by reference to the Jeffersonian wall of separation between church 'and state.

Most arguments concerning abortion surround ~ so-:called hard cases such as .me-threaten­ ing pregnancies or cases involv­ ing rape or incest.

Liberals have a way of argu­ ing with passion this 1 percent of all abortions 'while demon­ strating total -lack of com­ passion for ~e other 99 percent.

While Opposition to abortion is for 'the most part nurtured' by reHgious faith, many' without particularly strong religious cori­ victions vehemently oppose 'it as a routine means of birth control.

But the· cost of an· abortion' in New York City is now down to $105 and more chi'ldren are aborted 'there than are born.

Little wonder that Pope John Paul II chose a pro-life cham­ pion such as Archbishop John, O'Connor to shepherd this troubled portion of the Lord's flock.

'YOU are the head of a diocese where current statistics on 21 piliishes in the heaJt of your largest city tell you: - There has been a 75 per­ cen~ drop in the Catholic popu­ ~ation between 1960 and 1980.

- Whites have decreased from 81 pereent to 48 percent while the number of blacks are dramatically increasing.

- Family incomes indicate serious financial difficulties in the area.

- Projilctions indicate there will be a large increase in the number of single persons, with many being single parents.

- Diocesan buildings are aging. Rectories llverage 59 years; churches, 64 years; schools, 54 years. Between 1979 and 1982 more than $2.6 million was spent in plant maintenance.

- In 1980 46 percent of the population had less than a high school education; 37 percent were high school graduates; 17 percent !had some college.

- Catholic elementary and high schools in these parishes have dropped dramatically in enroHment.

Those are some of the prob­ lems that face the Archdiocese

of Indianapolis. I wouldn't be sUl1prised jf similar problems can be found in all dioceses with inner-city parishes.

The Indianapolis archdiocese decided to define a clear set of priorities. It also recommended establishing an Urban PariSh Co­ operative to bring together rep­ resentatives from the 21 par­ ishes to coHaborate on major co~cems.

EUGENE HEMRICK collaboration with people work­ ing together, supporting each other and communicating. This will make the difference between life and death.

For me the struggle faced by the Indianapolis archdiocese raises another big question. The study states it this way: "We be­ 'lieve that central-city parishes are in mission country."

'Do Christians living in parishes with substantial financia'l means realize we have missions in our own iback yard? Shouldn't we emphasize more strongly the missionary side of our local church in order to stop the dis­ integration of inner-city churches and schools and embrace the minorities who have become the majori,ty in many big cities? , This goes beyond having a visiting priest from the ghetto preach on a given Sunday in order to obtain donations for the poor. We must move beyond finances. We who have it better must never Jose our identity with the poor.

What about women?

New president for Fordham NEW YORK {NC) - Jesuit Father Joseph A O'Hare urged the Fordham University com­ munity to be more involved in New York Olty problems during his recent formal instadlation as 31st president of the Jesuit in­ stitution.

Father O'Hare, 53, ds former editor of Ainerica, a Jesuit-run national Catholic magazine.

In his address, Father O'Hare noted Fordham's traditional de­ scription' of itself as "the Jesuit university of New York CI,ty" and pledged continuing commit­ ment to ~e city.

Since 1961, Fordham has had a second campus, adjacent to Lincoln Center in Manhattan, as well as the older Bronx campus.

7

"At both our campus at Lincoln Center, that remarkable space for the human spirit in the middle of Manhattan, and here at Rose Hill, where we are part of a community struggling for sta­ bility in the face of enormous social and economic press'ures, I would urge both facwty and students to become more fuBy engaged with the aife of the city around them," Father O'Hare said.

He said the Jesuit tradition in education had two distinctive' marks. The first, he said, is an assumption that "religious faith and critical intelligence are not

contradictory habits of mind."

The other is "a respect for the world and a responsibility for others," he sad.

The role of the Dur·se

By Jean Qualgley

The following article Is excerp­ ted from a commencement ad­ dress delivered by Mrs. Quigley at Diman Regional School of Practical Nursing fin Fall River.

In seeking to dmpart some pearls of wisdo~ to you this evening, I thought I should try to tell you how very special you are to people and that your nurse's title conjures up many meanings. Nursing signifies dif­ ferent things to var:ious people and since you wHI be expected to be aH those things, I felt it ap­ propriate to bring those mean­ ings to Ught.

. By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

Dear Mary: We have three children, two boys and a girl.

It's· the girl 1 am writing about.

At 14, she's our youngest and has given us more problems than both boys put together. Simply speaking, her attitude Ismtoler­ able. She shrugs her shoulders and says she doesn't care about anything. When told to do some­ thing, she yells, argues and, If we insist, she pouts.

Otherwise, she Is well-behaved.

She has many friends of both sexes, comes home on time, does helpful things around the house sPontaneously and has never gotten Into any trouble outside . the home. However, her attitude Is tearing us apart.

What can we do? I already give her and my o~r children lots of time. How can we Improve her attitude? - Ohio You face a fairly common problem: an adolescent daughter who is frequently nasty with her family and who is quite charm­ ing outside the home. Why this behavior is so common, I do not know. Your problem, however, ,is not, How can we change her? but, How can we live with her?

Whenever you attempt to change attitudes directly, you set yourself up for failure. You reo. quire an inner change in your daughter, an area where she has total control and you have none.

The more you talk to her about her "attitude,'~ the more' she

realizes she is getting to you. . Talking will probably cause her bad attitude to get worse.

Yoil cannot specifically define bad attitude. When you criticize . or attempt to change an atti­ tude, the conversation goes some­ thing like this: "I want to change youratti­ tude....

"What attitude?"

"I want you to stop pouting."

"I'm not pouting."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

And so on as :the behavior of the child and the fmstration· of the parent es~alate.

Try ignoring her attitude and focus on her behavior. Encour­ age things she·' does well by noticing them and showing your approval. ' The typical 14-year-old will complain vehemently when ask­ ed to do the dishes - then spontaneously bake cookies, us­ ing up the chocolate you needed to make brownies for the church bake sale. Your best - and most difficult - response is: 1. Insist she do :the dishes. It is her job.

2. Ignore the fact that you must go out and buy more chocolate.

3. Thank her for her thought­ fulness and compliment her lovely cookies.

Adolescents are stmggling to be independent, a posit~ve step forward in development. They

like to ,be helpful, but on their own terms and in their own way.

Recognize and encourage their kind acts.At the same time, as family members, they shou,ld help around the house. You have a right to insist that dishes or housework Ibe done when assign­ ed. You can't nnsist ithey like it, but you can insist they do it.

If the job is not done, tell her in advance what penalty she will suffer: Then stick to YQ!1r word.

Penalties such as staying home on a weekend, coming in earJy or no overnights with friends are effective with adolescents.

A situation. Such as yours is emotionally charged. It can drain you and cloud your judgment.

To avoid nagging, criticizing and yelling contests, ignore her atti­ tude. Plan in advance what be­ havior you will and will not tolerate.

With a tinge of sarcasm, I visuaJized the preacher as some­ one who maybe had put .that Idctum into practice. That par­ ticular storefront thad the appear­ ance of Ibeing a Httle more afflu­ ent. 1 surmised the preacher had begged God fora congregation, then gone out and worked hard on his neighborhood streets to fipd one.

But the phrase stal'ted play­ ing over and over in my mind and the sarcasm vanished. It

The problem with praying to God and then packing it in after the "amen" is that, in effect, we tie God's hands. We're not pray'ing for his help af we beg a favor and end it there. We're asking for a miracle, and that's not the way it is on eal'th in God's plan: Jesus made it pretty clear in his teaching that just cailing on the Father for salvation doesn"t mean a person wiJil enter the kingdom of heaven. That reward com~s only from keeping the word of the Father and doing his work. ' Thinking about alI thds, I found a related moment of ~nspiration .in the story of Gerry Vanesse, 23, who this year finished sec­ ond in the prestigious Boston Marathon. In an interivew, he made clear that the achievement was something he prayed for.

But intertwined wi:th his prayer was the tremendous work of training. This was !how he ex­ pressed it:

"I'm not one to go shouting about it, but we are a devout Catholic family. I went to Mass every day before the Boston run.

There is a power there. 1 feel like !if I miss one day of 1Wl­ Ding, 1 missed Mass. If I miss Mass, I feel aike I missed a month of running."

That young man is an inspir­ .ing example of what the preacher in Harlem meant, 1 think, when he put up his sign.

Getting your. warranty's worth

By Am.

ARTHUR MURPHY

& Am.

RICHARD MURPHY

You've probably bought the electric can opener that made a great metal crusher but couldn't open even the flimsiest tin can. Surely a friend has told you a story about a car that looked Uke a million bucks but slept right through that. mt cold morning. And almost ev'ery­ one has had a new vacuum cleaner that appeared to be al­ ' lergic ~o dust.

Your first thought wihen some­ thing you've just bought doesn't work as it should may be that of causing great bodily harm to its seller. You feel you've been taken; then, when 4 you calm down, you find the warranty and go ask for your money back; or, at the very least, a new prod­ uct.

But it isn't always that simple

and often the ending ,isn't happy.

What happens if there is no warranty? What if you lose it?

What if the merchant refuses to honor it?

Rest assured. You won't have to resort to violence. There are aaws to protect you, the con­ sumer, when you buy a product that doesn't do what it should.

Massachusetts laws force mer­ chants to stand behind their wares, even if they haven't given the cust<?mer a written warranty.

A simple way to understand warranty law is to consider it a set of laws designed to determine what it is:that a seBer has agreed to sell to a consumer. . For example, even though a merchant does not manufacture a consumer product he sells, Massachusetts'law says that, 8,t a minimum, he warrants that the product is "reasonably suit­ able for the ordinary uses for which goods of that description are sold when used in accord­ ance with adequate warning and instructions." This is the .so­ called "implied warranty of ~er­ chantability."

So, as Jong as you haven't been using yoor worthless can opener to engrave jewelry, you can at ,least get your money back or a new can opener.

This implied warranty of,' mer­ chantabiHty also applies to food and drink you've 'b~ught at a market or restaurant. Say, ,for example, you, bite into a d.ate­ nut muffin and.wind up with a mouthful of muffin, da;te pits

and chipped ,teeth. One of the grounds for a lawsuit against 'the seller would be breach of warranty. That's right. The . seBer's implied warranty of mer­ chantability was that the muffin was fit for the ordinary purpose - human consumption - for which such muff.ins are sold.

In fact, Massachusetts allows a consumer to sue the manufac­ turer (as well as the seller of the product) for breach of war­ ranty when the product fails to perform, even though there is no contractual relationship be­ tween the manufacturer and the consumer. . The law also protects you in certain situations where you buy a product for a particUrlar use.

If the seller has reason to know at the time Of sl!;le that you are buying the product for a particu­ lar use and you are relying on his skiH and judgment to pro­ vide a product for that use, he is said to implicItly warrant that the product ,is fit for that use.

Say, for example, that you ask a car dealer to sell you a car that will puB your house trailer. He seBs you a car. The first time you tow the trailer, however, the transmission of the car winds up in the street. You can probably recover from the seller for breaching the "implied warranty of (the car's) fitness for a particular purpose," i.e., towing your house trailer.

The two imp1'ied warranties mentioned above are guaranteed to the consumer provided the

other requirements of the law are met. (The product must be a consumer good, for example.) seHers or manufacturers of con­ sumer goods or services are not allowed at the time of sale to exclude or change either of the warranties or limi1t the remedies available to the consumer ,if the warranties are breached.

The implied warranty is the least you've got coming to you as a consumer. The seHer can offer (or the seller and consumer can agree to) additional express warranties.

Express warranties are created orally or in wr.iJting. But it is not necessary to the creation of such a warranty that :the word "warrant" or "guarantee" Ibe used. And often ,they are created without the seHer intending to' create them.

Any information, promise or description regarding' a product which the seller supplies the buyer and which is part of the basis of, the sale becomes an express warranty. The seUer warrants that the product will conform to the information, description or promise. It is not always clear however what is information, a promise or a description which is part of the basis of the sale.

For example, seHer's opinion or commendation of a product or his confirmation of ;its value does not become an express warranty. When a salesman de­ scribes a product as ''wonderful,'' "very good," or "elegant," he is

a.

considered to be engaging in "seller's talk" or "puffing," not to be creating express warran­ ties.

On the other hand, if the seHer tells you the radio he is trying to ~l you will pick up station X from your home, he is expressly warranting iIlhat the radio can do just that.

At the federal government level, the Federal Trade Com­ mission (FTC) focuses on writ­ ten warranties. The FTC makes sure written warranties contain what federal ,laws require them to contain. One requirement is that written warranties fulrly and conspicuously disclose in easily understood language the terms and conditions of the warranty.

Federal Jaw, however, doesn't re­ quire that a consumer product be warranteed or, if it is, that the written warranty be for any minimum length of time.

The federal 'laws allow a con­ sumer to sue a supplier, war­ rantm- or service contractor who violates feder~ warranty law and recover damages.

Although this article !has fo~ cused on state and federal war­ ranty law, the consumer who buys a "Jemon" product is also protected hy other Massachusetts laws. For example, the state has a Consumer Protection Act to punish' those who engage in de­ ceptive practices ,in selling prod­ ucts. There are also several other state laws pertaining to

product sales.

As archbishop of the United States' main JewiSh center, Archbishop O'Connor has given attention to the need for Cath­ olic-Jewish dialogue. He said the "holU"ors inflicted on the' Jewish people" in the HoJocaust brought tremendous support for their desire to have I;l home in Israel, and that this support to­ day is "not at all'in question."

What is "in question," the archbishop said, is whether there can be developed the need­ ed "sense of urgency" about the Palestinians. "I've had people lin this house in recent weeks plead­ ing with me to be conscious winter is coming, and in the mountains of Jordan thousands of people couId fireeze or starve to death," he said.

DANNY'S PRIZEWINNING STAMP

Filippo T-Jippi .. and Danny

By Alexa Steele oNC News service

"There was a great deal of excitement," said Danny's prin­ cipal, Margaret Mahon. She de­ scribed Danny as a good, well­ rounded student who hasn't let fame change him.

Ms. Mahon said the school has been receiving letters from stamp collectors requesting signed copies of Danny's stamp. At the Oct. 30 dedication ceremony, Danny will autograph stamps for them.

A!lthough art ds one of his favorit~ classes, Danny said he :likes math best, and he hopes to be a baseball player, not an artist, when he grows up. The all-around athlete plays for the Little League team his f8Jther coaches.

"It was just a picture for art class," Danny said of his prize­ winning design. But he admitted he was excited when he won the contest.

"Danny LaBoccetta, a fourth­ grader at Our Lady of Perpetual Help elementary school, beat out .half a million other entrants in 1982 to win the first nationwide student stamp design project sponsored by the U.S. Postal Ser­ vice. .

Danny's design features a smiling Santa Ql8!US with a sack of toys. Fr. Filippo Lippi's paint­ ing depicts Mary and the baby Jesus. The original work, done on a wood pane}. about 1435, is in the National Gallery of Art.
