VATICAN CITY (NC)-During the first full week of the world Synod of Bishops, U.S. delegates urged a ·renewal of the sacra­ ment of penance, reconciliation through ecumenism, and clarifi­ cations about sin and celebra­ tion of penance.

Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago, Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul-Minneapolis, Archbishop Patrick Flores of San Antonio and Auxiliary Bish­ op Austin Vaughan of New York are the elected representatives of the National Conference of Catholic ·Bishops at the month­ long meeting.

Pope John ,Paul II appointed two additional delegates from the United States to participate: Cardinal Timothy Manning of tos Angeles, who is one of three synod presidents; and Archbish­ op Edmund Szoka of IDetroit.

During the synod's first week, devoted to interventions by synod members from around the world, U.S. delegates submitted 12 papers orally or il1l writing: - The four NCCB delegates asked the synod to clarify the relationship between general ab­ solution and individual confes­ sion, including under what con­ ditions general absolution could be used.

- Cardinal Bemardin said that one reason fol' the decline in the number of Catholics regu­ larly participating in the sacra­ ment was a decline in a "sense Turn to Page Two

Condolences

I I

Our hearts go out in a very special way to the D9mini­ can Sisters of the Presentation during these days of suffer­ ing and tragedy. The' explosion at their Dighton proJincial house on Tuesday afternoon not only shattered a bJilding I but also broke bodies a.nd hearts.

The violence of death and' suffering that the I blast inflicted on this devoted community of religious wpmen is in human terms immeasurable. Violent loss of life is . , always a difficult reality to face, having meaning oqly in the realm of faith.

I Bishop Cronin, leading the sisters in prayer after the blast, reflected this attitude when he noted that ,"Th~ will be done," the motto of Cardinal Terence Cooke {rom whose funeral he had returned minutes before the explosion; had become in a flash of time full of meaning for the DomiQican community. !

This is a time for all of us who love and appreCiate .these' fa,ithful women of the church to remember therr in our prayers as they carryon their very special min~stry to the sick and aged. ' Those who have been ministered to or who have seen , family members or friends cared for at St. Anne's Hosp,ital, Marian Manor or Madonna Manor will wish to express their support and concern for the Dominican Sisters. : Our prayers at the moment reach out tq the 4ead :and injured and to their grieving sisters and family memb,ers.

But in days to come we must also be ready to help 'the survivors pick up the pieces. and rebuild their provinpial house. ' .I These women have helped heal the bodies of ~a'~y; now we must help them in the healing process of· their own minds and hearts and in the -speedy resumption of t~eir normal lives of service. ' I , For all of us in the Fall River diocese they stand', as an example of women whose faith' has fostered~ commurt,ity in religious life during times when 'many feel that.commun~ty has lost its role in the ministry.

They have consistently and constantly been a symbol of church in fulfilling the dreams and hopes of their found~r.

Because of this they are for us' and for those of many other faiths in our dioce'se. the reflection of all that our Holy Father seeks in religious women. For this they have w?n our admiration and esteem. , May we rally around the Dominican Sisters at this time not with mere words of sympathy but rather with proofs of positive encouragement and sincere reassu~anGe. , .

Congratu lations As Bishop Timothy Harrington enters upon his new responsibilities as shepherd -of our sister diocese ~f Worcester, The Ar:tchor extends its sincere congratulatioqs and prayerful best wishes to him.

Since the founding of the . . Worcester see in 1~50, Bishop ~arrington has· been a tireless and priestly serva* of the people.

I In recent years, as auxiliary bishop .of the dioces~, he has been one of the commonwealth's outstanding leaders in the respect life movement, while as episcopal moderato~ of the Massachusetts Catholic Conference, he has frequently been the spokesperson for the church at the StateHous~ legislative hearings. .

His expertise and experience will indeed be a blessing and gift to the faithful' of 'Worcester, County. Ad Multos, Annos! , i

Family Night

A weekly at-home program for families

sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Family Ministry

OPENING PRAYER Father, we praise you at the beginning of this new school year. Thank you for the adven­ ture ahead, exploring your world, celebrating life as we travel to­ gether. Send your Spirit to be our guide as we plan our year's journey and embark upon our family adventure. Amen.

ACTIVITY TIME Fall marks the beginning of a new year more clearly than New Year's Day, especially when there are school children in­ volved. It is an ideal time to plan your family goals, to mark your calendar for special times and events, to decide how and when you will have your Family Night.

your own calendar, illustrate and decorate it colorfully and with meaningful symbols.

Middle Years and Adult Families People who are going on a long trip often begin with a Bon Voyage Party. Sometimes a travel agent will give the group an idea of where they are going (your goals), how they are go­ ing to get there (your family activities), things to look for­ ward to (celebrations of your family birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc). Appoint someone to be your Travel Agent for the evening, the group leader. Plan your family goals. What would you like to accomplish this year together? How will you do it? Be

Young Family

"Tum it down or tum it off." How many times a day do ear-weary parents shout the command?

Teen music is a volatile area of family discord and it seems an unwinnable battle. Volume rises to the top of the tension chart with cost right beMnd. One father, estimating that one inch of his 16-year-old's records rep­ resented a $150 expenditure, commented resentfully, "He has over 8 inches of records and he complains abo'ut never having any money."

Families come up with all sorts of rules and methods for co­ existing with teen music but in this column I want to deal not with the "how to control" but with the "why" of this music in the first place.

In a thought-provoking arti­ cle, "The ·Beat Goes On: Music As Metaphor in the Family," by Michael and Linda Perlin in the May-June issue of The Family Therapy NetWorker, authors submit that music is the meta­ ~phor for adolescents today. It defines them as separate beings from their parents and other adults.

While this has always held true - and how many of us re­ member parental sneers at our "Mairzy Doats" and "Sha-Na­ Na" - the demarcation is more absolute today. It's not just the songs that announce adolescent emergence ,but one's choice of rock groups, T-shirts and lang­ uage. Take away his music and we take away a teen's peer identity.

Why this phenomenon? Let's

Praying

-against

vocations

. A friend informed me that he is praying against voca­ tions. "How's that again?"

I said. "Don't you mean to say that you are praying for vo­ cations? That's what the bishops have asked us to do."

"Sorry, I'm praying against vocations," my friend said.

"Nuns and priests get on my nerves, so the fewer of them there are, the less aggravation I'll have," my friend said.

"You don't mean that. You're being cynical," I said.

"I'm being honest," he said.

"Too often I open my news­ paper or turn on my TV and I see a priest or nun making a political statement, and my blood pressure goes up 100 points."

"Religion and politics are in­ separable, and the prophetic voices of church leaders must be heard on the great issues of the day/' I explained.

"Yeah, sure, and if Jesus were around today he would be a liberal Democrat in favor of Sandinistas in Central America and a big boost in food stamps at home," he replied with a har­ rumph.

"Of course. You don't think Jesus would be a reactionary Republican, do you?" I· came back.

"The modern church is loaded with wild-eyed lefties," my friend complained. "They use religious language to make poli­ tical statements. They've got liberalism and Christianity all confused. They're going to turn the church into a radical pressure group, like the feminist lobby or the homosexual lobby. Pretty soon we'll have the Catholic lobby."

"Your contempt is showing," I sniffed. "You sound like a narrow-minded bigot."

"Have you noticed that every­ one who isn't a liberal in the modern church is a narrow­ minded bigot?" my friend shot back sarcastically. "A Catholic who speaks out against homosex­ uality, abortion' and Commun­ ism will be dismissed by church progressives as a narrow-minded bigot." .

"Get with the spirit of Vatican II," I suggested..

"That's a phony phrase," he replied. "Anyone who opposes special laws for homosexuals, government-funded abortions and revolutionaries in Central­ America nowadays is sure to be accused by left-wing nuns and priests of violating the spirit of Vatican II. Horsefeathers! I'm praying against vocations."

"I fear that you are a victim of the benighted sexuality and hysterical anti-Communism that characterized the immigrant . church of ari unenlightened era," I told my friend.

"Hogwash," he said. "Modern­

"Don't be paranoid," I said.

"I don't know how to cite an example of a smirk," hj:l said.

"The church can't turn back the clock," 1 said. "The church must forge boldly ahead to meet the challenges of tomorrow ­ disarmament, feminism, sexual liberation, redistribution of wealth, etc."

"I don't suppose saving souls would be on the agenda," my friend replied. "Personal salva­ tion, eternml life, heaven - I can remember when the_ church was concerned with such mat­ ters. The new Catholic left sneers at that. They've even got one of their funny names for it.

They call it 'religious privatiza­ tion.' We don't need more priests and nuns to spread that swill."

"You seem to lack the com­ passion of Jesus," I told him.

"Jesus was a nQ-nonsense man," my friend said. "Read the New Testament. The Romans ruled his country with an iron fist, but Jesus didn't lead a political revolt. Jesus preached personal spiritual reform, one soul at a time. If priests and nuns can't follow Jesus, we would be better off with fewer of them."

Did you ever hear anything so outrageous? Excommunicate him!

Holy Year financial flop

ROME (NC) The current Holy Year has not brought any­ thing near the large influx of tourists that Rome's tourist in­ dustry had hoped for.

When Pope John Paul II de­ clared a special Holy Year from March 1983 to April 1984 to' mark the 1,950th anniversary of the redemption, some tourist in­ dustry representatives had hope­ fully predicted up to a 50 percent increase in visitors to Rome~ Instead, statistics released in September by Rome's Department of Tourism indicated that the number of tourists so far this year is up' only 3 percent over

comparable 1982 figures. , The ,statistics also show that the number of visitors to !Rome from outside of Italy actually , I decreased by 6 percent.

The number of visitors I from the United States has increased by 5 percent, however.

I Most ofthis year's rise irl tour­ ism was attributed to visitbrs to Rome from other parts of 'Italy.

Their numbers were 10.5' per­ cent higher than for the! same I period last year.

The numbers of tourists Ivisit­ ing Rome from West Germany, France, Great Britain and Japan all declined slightly. '

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Friday, Oct. 14, 1983

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Car­ dinal John Krol told priests at a clergy conference that begin­ ning Nov. 27, Catholics in the Philadelphia . Archdiocese may attend Saturday evening Mass to satisfy their Sunday obliga­ tion.

Philadelphia was the only diocese in the United States where the Saturday option was not offered.

The change begins with the introduction of the revised Code of Canon Law, the cardinal said.

One Mass beginning after 5 p.m.

Saturday will be permitted.

Cardinal Krol ,told the priests that over 10 years ago he voted in favor of allowing individual bishops to decide whether to allow the Saturday ~ass.

But he said he did not see a

need for the option in the Arch­

diocese of Philadelphia. He said

his insistence on Sunday observ­

ance was an effort to keep the

Lord's day holy.

"Thank God there was no greater loss of life," he added.

"We' will pick up and go on from here," he assured the sis­ ters, pledging his support in re­ building efforts.

He urged the community to continue "its ministry despite its sorrow. "People will need you to minister to them as women of faith," he reminded the sis­ ters.

Finally almost everyone works better when there is a reward at the end of labor. Treats and rewards do not have to be con­ sidered bribes but rather incen­ tives. We all need incentives.

How many people would work daily without the incentive of a paycheck?

An afternoon of yard work can be followed by a special cookout, a party to celebrate work well done. During sutitmer vacation most children have extra free time. They can reasonably be expected to do more daily household chores' than they do during the school year.

The 'treat for such extra work might be regular trips to the beach or going out to lunch once a week, perhaps with the whole family if such can be arranged.

As your children tell you, do­ ing chores isn't fun, but use of incentives appropriate for their age can help matters go more smoothiy.

Reader questions on family living and child care to be. an­ swered in print are invited. Ad­ dress The Kennys, Box 872, St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, Ind. 47978.

By Jim Lackey In­ WASHINGTON ~C) creasingly frustrated over its unsuccessful efforts to explain U.S. policy in Central America, the Reagan administration is blaming the media and U.S. churc~es for not communicating a truer picture of progress in EI Salvador and of the alleged slide toward communism in 'Nic\l­ ragua.

That was the picture that emerged after a recent day-long ser:ies of briefings at the White HOlJse .and the State Depart­ me!lt for reporters from the reli­ giolJs, labor and Hispanic press.

Though the briefings covered eve.rything from domestic crime to the Korea'n jetliner incident, the bulk 'of the material was on Central America, reflecting the administration's current preoc­ cup;iltion with the issue. Presi-' de01t Reagan put in. a brief ap­ pem'ance and touched on the ad­ min:istration's frustrations when he cited the high number of AmE!ricans who "don't even know ~hich side we are on" and the inability to communi­ cate the successes of the U.S. polic:y in the region.

But it was at a later briefing by three top State Department officials that the full extent of the administration's distress camE; through.

Under the ground rules of the StatE! Department briefing the threE~ officials spoke only on condition that their names not

, be published. All three are Rea­

gan appointees who play a ma­

jor ,irole in adminstering U.S.

policy.

Thl>ugh each spoke separate-

Iy in 45-minute segments of the briefing, the three sounded a common theme that, in the words 'of one, there are "tremendous misconceptions" about' what the United States is doing in Latin America. Also not widely known in the United States, they said, is the extent to which the Nica­ raguan government has consoli­ dated power and has attempted to control independent organ­ izations ,such as religion and , labor.

"A sur~ way to see commun­ ism coming is to see, attacks on' the church and labor," said the best known of the three officials.

According to this official, at­ tacks by the Sandinista govern­ ment on the church have in­ cluded what he called the "suc­ cessful effort to insult" Pope John Paul II during the papal visit in March and the termina­ tion of the regular radio Mass broadcast each Sunday. "It takes a particular kind of re­ gime - I would say a: commun­ ist regime - to do that," he said.

This, same official complained that while the honeymoon be­ tween the Sandinista govern­ ment and the American press is just about over, there is "still a lot of credit in the Sandinista bank account" among U.S. church groups., The reason, he considered, is that U.S. human rights activists in the churches tend to have a "left of center" political bias and that individ­ uals sent on fact-finding trips to Nicaragua are usually a select group, too.

He added that the same peo­ ple who cite the criticisms of

the EI Salvador government by Archbishop Arturo Rivera Da­ mas of San Salvador tend to downplay similar criticisms of the Nicaraguan government by Archbishop Miguel Obando Bravo of Mangua.

Challenged by one reporter who said church workers in Nicaragua deny U.S. claims of churches being confiscated by the Sandinistas, the official said that there indeed have been con­ fiscations of churches operated

by Jehovah's Witnesses, Mor­ :mons and Seventh-Day Adven­ tists. He said those congrega­ tions hope "private pressures" rather than public protests will bring the restoration of their churches.

He and another official also contended that while critics of U.S. policy complain that the United States consistently is on the wrong side of Latin Ameri­ can revolutions, the U.S. govern­ ment is backing the right side in the four-year-old "revolution" in EI Salvador. Unlike the revo­ lution in Nicaragua, they said, the revolution in EI Salvador, which began with an army coup in 1979, has brought land reform, free elections and many other rights improvements.

But the U.S. media tend only to focus on the military· aspects of U.S. policy toward EI Salva­ dor, one offical said, partly be­ cause photographing soldiers is ~asier than photographing land reform. The military side of U.S. policy, he said, is intended mere­ ly to erect a "shield" against the guerrillas so that o'ther aspects' of the policy, such as develop­ ment and democracy, can pro­ ceed.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Friday, Oct. 14, ~983

uestion corner

By Father John Dietzen

Q. Our fonner pastor was a kind, progressive priest. Jesus was the center of religion. Canon law and other rules were of little importance.

Now we have a 62-year-old priest from Eastern Europe. To him the Catholic religion Is fol­ lowing a set of rules.

A sincere friend of mine with no religion Is wondering if there Is any place for him In the Cath­ olic Church sInce our Jre1lg1on seems to him a package deal with no f1exlbUity to think or act as your conscience tells you. ls there a place for him In our church or' should he look else­ where? WhIch of our priests Is closer to the truth? (Iowa)

A. This question is extremely difficult to answer, frankly be­ cause there just isn't any blqck and white way to say what you would like to hear and be fair to your friend and your present priest.

At least two things are im­ portant in considering what you might say to your friend. First, the country of the priest you mention is one of many where clergy and the laity have felt the need to be severe and (at least what we could calI) rigid in their practice of our faith. They have not enjoyed, as have Cath­ olics .in the United States and most other Western countries since Vatican II, the luxury of experimenting and feeling their way in freedom through the difficult self-examination and re­ newal the church has experienced since 1960.

Change, especially change af­ fecting areas of life we consider vital to our self-identity, is threatening, risky and enorm­ ously demanding of our psychic energy and of our personal faith.

The changes we have experi­ enced, and continue to experi­ ence, require a reshuffling of our vision of the church, and a sometimes frightening expan­ sion of our understanding and trust in the role of the Holy Spirit in the church.

Needless to say, not all reli­ gious rigidity is traceable to noble reasons or experiences.

My point is simply that people such as your priest who were raised in this type of rigid Cath­ olic commitment may not see things as flexibly and as per­ missively as you.

It pays to advertise in The Anchor, the largest weekly newspaper in Southeastern Massachusetts, reaching

~7,OOO

subscribers and an estimated

100,OO() actual readers.

To help yourself, your friend and your priest, I think you have to understand what I have just said. And. one thing more: the Jearning here has to be in two directions. Perhaps the new priest is too severe. But a Cath­ olic kind of love for the church requires proper respect for its laws and traditions.

For us, membership with Christ is identified with member· ship in the community of faith.

This means leadership and direc­ tion (rules, if you will) provided by those who, as we believe, by Christ's plan have responsibility for governing our church., I think you will help your searching friend greatly if you try to open up for him this Cath­ olic vision of the church of Jesus Christ.

Questions for this colwnn should be sent to Father Diet­ zen, Holy Trinity Church, 704 N. Main St., Bloomington, Ill.

As St. Paul wrote to the Ephesians, through the Resurrection we have been made "alive togetl1er with Christ."

SISTER AGATHA PRE­ COURT, SJA, is the newly named Mother General of the Sisters of Ste. Jeanne d'Arc, whose motherhouse is in Quebec. Members of the community serve at the bish­ op's house, St. Mary's Cathe-' dral and the parish of Notre Dame in Fall River.

We share this life in Christ through ~~l our own lives and through the mission " / Church around the world. Sister Anastasia has given her whole life to this sharing-and she has the children of Pock-um-jali jumping for joy over the Good News she's brought.

Your gifts to the Propagation of the Faith help Sister Anastasia and the whole mission Church call all people to be alive with Christ.

"'t';;" , . ,

Often in this process, the peo­ ple ~f God easily feel they are without rudder, that they no longer have any Catholic iden­ tity (how many Catholics felt abandonded by the church when we started to eat meat on Fri­ day?), that they are naked, cold and homeless before the world.

We in the' "free" countries cannot imagine how unfeasible such a process can be in nations where the church is in continual combat with regimes determined either to crush it or bend it to total conformity.

Symbols of identity, however dispensable theoretically, become life and death matters. Condi­ tions and rules which in other circumstances might be revised or replaced with minimal pain become demonstrations of faith, carried out with full awareness that the consequences may be death or prison, or worse.

Groundbreaking ceremonies took took place last month at two diocesan facilities in Taun­ ton.

On Sept. 15 ground was bro­ ken for new athletic facilities at Coyle-Cassidy High School, Adams and Hamilton Streets; and on Sept. 17 for a catecheti­ cal and social center at Holy Rosary Church, 80 Bay St. Coyle-Cassidy The high school expansion plans were announced by Bish­ op Daniel A. Cronin 'last Jan­ uary. They include locker space and showers for boys, girls and visiting teams as well as confer­ ence, training and coaches' rooms and athletic equipment storage space.

The construction will make it possible to conduct the school athletic program in one area.

BrE!viously it had been necessary to employ part of the classroom wing of the building. There will be handicapped access to the cafeteria and gymnasium as well as from the gymnasium to the parking lot. .

If necessary, diocesan assis­ tance to the building program has been pledged by Bishop Cro~ nino Also in place is a million­ . dollar Campaign for Coyle and Cassidy, directed by the school's office of development. The cam­ paign received a substantial boost in July with a $25,000 do­ nation from Taun~on' restaura­ teur George Benjamin,' father of four Coyle-Cassidy alumni.

Holy ·Rosary The Ho)y Rosary center will consist ofa hall seating 300 persons, a fully-equipped kitchen, six rooms for religious education classes and meetings, rest rooms, an office, an an-purpose room and storage and furnace areas.

The facility will be air condi. tioned and will be accessible to . the hqndicapped. A blacktopped and lighted parking ·)ot will ac­ commodate 97 cars.

A painting of tlie new 9000 square foot 'building by parish­ ioner John Barrados, is on dis­ play in front of Holy Rosary Church. The architect is Owen F. Hackett Associates of New Bedford and the contractor is the .J9hn H. Fellouris Co., .also of New Bedford.

Plans .can for completion of the, $634,000 project in 240 days, with dedication ceremonies envisaged in early June. The cost is expected to be financed by donations, fundraising pro­ jects and memorials. A plaque in the building foyer will list those memorialized.
