Familie's at Synod VAnCAN CITY - Consensus on several basic marl1iage and family 'issues has emerged at the World Synod of Bishops. Seven language groups have basically agreed: -That the church's teaching opposing the use of artificial contraception is correct but must be clarified and better explained, especially through a more positive approach to church teaching on sexuality.

-That a "charter of the rights of the family" ought to be established.

-That Jndissolubility of marriage must be upheld, although groups held different views on whether a change could be made so that some divorced and remarried Catholics could be admitted to the Eucharist. .-That bishops' conferences, especially in Africa, need greater flexibility in adapting marriage rites to local cultures.

-That greater preparation for marriage is needed. . . -That the church must give greater pastoral care for mixed marriages.

-Tha't a genera~ directory, drawn up either by the Vatican or by local bishops' conferences, ought to be prepared to give better guideli.nes for pastoral care regarding marriage and family life.

Church teaching on contraception was the most controversial and most discussed issue during the first 'two weeks of the synod.

Outside the synod hall reporters debated whether some bishops would call for it change in the teaching that the use of artificial means of contraception is intrinsically wrong.

A Catholic Vote There are those who in their own distorted view of politics somehow. do not or will not realize the reality of a C~tholic vote. For reasons of their own they would argue that Catholics are so diverse and divided that they could never as a group significantly influence a given election.

On the surface this contention might have some face value. Indeed CatholiCs are a diverse lot. From wetbacks to first family, from immigrant,s ~ establishment, from poor to affluent, some have displayed a sense o( church that has had more to do with social status than faith content.

As has been said, the only unity that exists" in the church is that all stand for the Gospel reading. Outside of "this, many Catholics seem more concerned for their social and ethnic welfare than for their life in the spirit.

There are" some who feel that to date this diversity has been the cause of serious division among the members of the church. In addition to the obvious nationalistic and ethnic " considerations prevalent in the church, they. would also stress"the social realities that have affected Catholics." From this viewpoint, the faith of the so-called educated and affluent Catholic would differ from that of his uneducated and poor brother or sister. This would lead some ·to hold that a Catholic with a Cadillac is quite different from the CatholiG" who cannot even afford a pair of shoes~ TheremigIit be a certain validity to this reasoning, were one to view the church in a vacuum or in isolation from its total reality.

But John Higham, a historian and author at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, said that anti-eatholicism is a thing of the past. He said opposition to Catholic positions on issues such as abortion and school aid "is based not on irrational anti-Catholic prejudice. It's grounded in unavoidable clashes of community views.".

He also noted that unlike

lators are embarrassed to be identified as Catholic when it comes to voting on any issue which is generally agreed to reflect Catholic values or interests." ,He said that while Jews, blacks and women are proud to vote their positions, Catholics want "to be like everyone else, and that means forgetting they are Catholics when it' comes time to fight for justice for Catholics."

Michael Schwartz, associate

man of a county Democratic committee'in New Jersey, said he felt Catholic politicians often find themselves alone without the interest and support of most Catholics.

He suggested that Catholic politicians become better acquainted with memb~rs of Catholic groups such as the, Serra Club, an organization which promotes vocations in the church, or the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization.

The most intriguing alibi that Jimmy Carter came up with for not debating John Anderson was that Anderson and his wife "hand-picked his vice-presidential nominee."

Does Jimmy Carter, of all people, think that candidates should not consult their wives about important political decisions?

-Carter has boasted of, and insisted on, the involvement of wife Rosalynn in affairs of the Republic.' So that he not be deprived of her counsel in the rush of events, he sets aside time each week for a luncheon with her - and lists it on his public schedule.

Rosalynn Carter is the first -lady to sit in on Cabinet meetings. She has represented the nation at inaugurations and funerals of foreign leaders. She has made state visits to Latin America. During Carter's selfincarceration in the Rose Garden, she was his surrogate in primary states. She was his representative in the famine' camps of Thailand.

In the summer of 1977, she came into her own as a presidential adviser. She counseled Carter to defer an energy speech, assisted in the diagnosis of the national "malaise" and prescribed a Cabinet purge.

She tpok other initiatives, her boldest being to recruit her brother-in-law, Bill Carter, as a go-between in the hostage situation. She subsequently informed her husband of her intervention,

"the happiest day of their lives."

Instead, they are afraid to marry and set themselyes up for a series of what they call meaningful relationships. Then the parents panic, do everything in their power to get the couple before the altar (regardless of their readiness for marriage), put pressure on the pastor, and wonder why, it few years later, there's a divorce.

A few years ag9, I suggested that one reason for the priest vocation shortage was the lack of overtly contented models. I believe the same' is true in marriage. As' church f~ily, we marrieds need to stress opening the positives of marriage. We need to stop using marriage as a joke or a scapegoat, always stressing what we've given up or what we could have been without it.

We have a God-given respc:>nsibility to serve as models to younger couples who are looking for a reason to marry.

They're seeking adults who are witness to love, hope, and commitment after the wedding long after it.

continue. its insistence on the sacred nature of the marriage bond and the importance of human life, while at the same time finding room to "nuance" its birth control stand.

It is relatively easy to reproduce a higher primate. The chimpanzees, baboons and gorillas, for example, do so with a minimum of fuss . . . and a t, minimum of pleasure too. Except for that brief·' period each month when the female is .in heat, the other higher primates are not interested in sex, and even when they are the action is quick, efficient and business-like. The pervasive interest in and readiness for sex, as well as the powerful psychological involvement in the relationship of which sex is a part, are unique to human primates.

What is specific to human sexuality, in other words, is not ordered toward reproduction at all; but toward strengthening the bond between male and female so that they will stay together to raise their offspring. Sex for strengthening 'the relationship· ~eems to be "natural" to humans and hence well within the principles of natural law. One must ask the theologians and the church leaders whether this insight from the human sciences does not point the way out of the dilemma for them?

So they can catch up with their laity and clergy who already know that sex in humans is for loving.

a forthright stand in the first full day's session of the synod in favor of further dialogue on the birth control problem. While the intervention of Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco was mild in tone, it was blunt in substance; surely one of' the most blunt statements on the subject of birth control than any American bishop has ever made in p':lblic.

The American delegation makes clear that it accepts the "authentic teaching" of the 1968 birth control encyclical. But it quickly adds that most American Catholics, including men and women of good will, do not accept it and neither do many Catholic theologians. The American bishops do not call explicitly for a change, but they seek clarifications and nuances that might bring official teaching and practice in greater harmony. .

One suspects that the Quinn intervention shocked many oldguard Vatican bureaucrats, delighted Western Europeans like England's George Basil Hume and caused a thoughtful frown to appear on the face of the pope.

While I am not· an admirer of the American delegation to, the synod, I must say that I had a feeling of pride in being an American Catholic when I first heard on the news broadc~st the report of the Quinn speech and an even stronger feeling of pride when I read the text of the document. It is respectful, but it tells the truth. In the curial atmosphere, where truth. telling October 23 is so rare that many people no Rev.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."-Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Continued from page one Inside the hall the debate was quite different.. Its focuses were: -Whether the church could provide better pastoral care for couples who are troubled by the church's teaching or do not accept it.

-Whether the teachin~ could be explained better so that it would be better understdod.

-What ds the pre,oise relationship between doctr,ine and pastoral practice.

From路 Families Representatives of Christian families, those most involved in what is being discussed at the synod, had their 'day dn the spotlight last Sunday.

The pope, 20 cardinals and about 100 bishops gathered in the 'Paul VI Audience Hall to hear how the issues under discussion at the synod are experienced in contemporary family life.

The afternoon audience was part of the church's celeoration of Ii world day of prayer for the synod.

In the morning, Pope John Paul and the synod participants had celebrated a Mass for the family which drew an estimated 100,000 people to rain-drenched St. Peter's. Square.

At the' afternoon session engaged and marrie<t couples discussed their problems, joys and hopes.

Couples came from Vietnam, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, England,Lebanon, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Argentina and Brazil to talk about large families, childless families, drugs,. engagement, widowhood, abandoned parents , and life in war-torn countries.

The Nguyens of Vietnam described how their mutual love and respect helped them survive two years of forced separation during -the war, while a' Lebanese couple spoke about the present trials facing families in their war-torn country.

Couples from Argentina and Poland, each with 17 children, gave Pope John Paul group photographs of their families. . Pope' Johll Paul spoke in Italian, French, English, Spanish, German .and Polish to the approximately 10,000 people in the hall.

In the English section of his talk, Pope John Paul praised family movements but warned that they must not "water down what is their fundamental inspiration - an inspiration that is' also their charisma and therefore their strength - into an activity that could become merely generic and indiscriminate.

The morning Mass included family delegations from 36 countries and representatives of 12 international family movements.

Among the participants 'were Tom and Jayne McGuiness and Father Robert Uzzilio of Long Beach, Calif., the national team for Worldwide Marriage Encounter, and Bob and Diane Nicholson and Jesuit Father Gene Tucker of Arnold, Md., national team for Marriage Retorno, a Marriage Encounter follow-up program.

dical "Humanae Vitae," Pope Paul VI had cited forcing the conjugal act on an unwilling partner, as a lack of love in marriage.

When one of them loses a child, then he can speak as an authority.

Adoption isn't an easy decision to make and I hope every child that has been adopted realizes the agony of the decision his mother had to make.

I could have made anyone of ·the babies we loved and cared for "mine" even though 1 didn't give birth to them, but 1 was fortunate enough to be able to have . children without having to wait for years like many couples.

And, for every abortion, the wait is that much longer.

Meet Dolores Motta, just turned 18, who has a lot to do with getting The Anchor to you each week. At 5'2" and, 105 pounds, 'she's a small dynamo around the Leary Press in Fall River, where The Anchor is produced. She's also the .first woman to enter its world of web, and flatbed presses, of camera room and paste-up tables.

But pee is accustomed to firsts. At age 11 she was one of the, first four girls in the nation to play on previously aUmale Little League teams. And at age 13 she became the first girl member ,-of an award-winning Portuguese band, a strictly masculine organization since its founding in 1904.

So she is casual about her latest accomplishment, hopping nonchalantly onto service platforms to. adjust and clean Leary's 'giant web press and deftly handling outsize camera equipment in the printshop's offset department: She credits her approach to her supportive family, which has always taken for granted that she could do anything that interested her.

Her brother John, 23, for instance, a .. bass, drummer in the 40-member St. Anthony band of, Fall' River, •saw no reason why his kid sister, a budding clarinetist, shouldn't also be a band member. So sh~ is and her clarinet has taken her on trips as far afield as Hawaii, Canada and St. Michael, Azores, while concerts in the Southeastern Massachusetts area often come two or three Per weekend.

When not in the band Dee sings in Our Lady of, Angels choir in Fall River and is active in the parish Children of Mary Sodality.

In case she should find herself with idle -moments, she plans to

'

DOLORES MOTTA works at Leary Press'light table. , ,

enroll at Bristol Community College .' to study the Portuguese langu/!-ge that is her heritage.

Eventually. she said, she hopes to combine work for a college degree with her Leary Press job.

Dee got into printing, she said, when' she attended an open house at Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School in Fall River, of which she is now a graduate.

"Printing looked the most interesting thing that :was being demonstrated," she explained.

After getting sufficient experi-

ence in the field and qualifying as an "all-around printer," she thinks she might like to operate her own printshop.

One of the few drawbacks to her Diman career, she said" was that no girls' sports were offered. However, she hasn't lost her ability or liking for baseball and plays whenever she can.

It's hardly necessary to say that Fall River's young printer supports women's liberation --but in this case it seems that ERA: has a way to go to catch ! up to Dee Motta.

Islam illumine,sl :Christ

9

L;>

CINCINNATI (NC) For many Americans the word "Mos. lem" has negative connotations; Arabs who keep hiking up the price of oil or Iranian students holding ~ericans hostage.

But 15 years ago Vatican Council II in the "Declaration on . the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions" took a positive view· of Moslems, urging Catholics to "strive sincerely for mutual understanding" with them.

American Catholics, in fact, many of the world's Christians, have a long way to go in reaching that point of understanding, according to Father Giulio Basetti-Sani, .an Italian Franciscan who visited Cincinnati recently.

After 40 years of studying the Koran, the sacred book of the Islamic religion, he has gained a deep respect for the religion of over 600 million of the world's people.

His many years in Egypt have kept him in contact with the Moselem religion and culture.

Author of the book, "The Koran in the l;ight of Christ," he hastaken part in Christian-Moslem dialogue in several countries.

Through those discussions, he hopes to have clarified for the Moslem participants some of the Christian symbolism in the Koran.

Through dialogue and his study of Islam, Father BasettiSani has rediscovered some basic religious values.

"I have learned more of what it means to worship God from Islam than from Christianity," he said in an interview-.

"Theoretically I . learned it from my studies of philosophy and theology, but practically I learned about the transcendence of God from being with Moslems."

Many Christian's separate religion from their daily lives, but in Islam, God appears in every point of. a person's life. the priest said.

"By looking 'at Islam, we can rediscover the value of brotherhood," he said. "Christians are united by language and country, but the Moslems are united by their faith."

Something of an ecumenical movement is taking place among the world's Moslems, in an effort to· rediscover a universal

religion, according to the Franciscan.

As Moslem unity grows stronger and as Moslem nations gain more power, Islam will gain more and more attention as a world religion, he predicted.

"It will be difficult to solve complex world problems witft· out understanding the 'Moslems," he Said. ' The Americ~n church needs to look more closely at Islam, to grow in respect for the millions who love the same God, the priest urged.

He said he is not suggesting that there is no difference between Islam and Christianity.

"The Koran introduces us to the mystery of God. It's like the catechumenate in Christianity," he said.

The most basic difference between the religions,' according to the priest, is that Islam's iirst virtue is faith, Christianity's is' love.

"To caIl God 'Father' would Moslem. be blasphemy for They don't accept the love of God," he' said. "As Christians, we know through the New Testament that we can love God because he first loved·us."

October 19th is Mission Sunday.

A reminder that Christ meant all of us when He said: Go ye, therefore and teach all nations."Yet few of us can. Few of us do, All of us, though, can help the Missions throughout the world.

Here are some of the ways:

HELP THE REFUGEES

In the very lands where Christ was born and where His disciples taught, there are over 1,800,000 people living without homes and without hope.

Some of them for more than 30 years! Just $20 will feed a family for a month-$525 will repair a small but decent home. Only $50 will care for a blind or deaf-mute child for a month-and $2 will buy a refugee child hot lunches for a whole month. How much will you share?

"ADOPT" A CHILD

The recent fighting in t,.ebanon and throughout the Near East has left thousands of children in dire need. You can support one of them for only' $14 a month-give them clothes, food, shelter, education-and what they need most-love, "Your" child will write to you, You may reply, if you wish. Christ will love you the more for loving one of His very own "little ones."

•• ••

•• ••

A PRIEST OR SISTER O.FYOUR

OWN

In the Near East, hundreds of vocations are blooming. But many young men and women may never realize their dream to walk in Christ's footsteps only because their families are poor.

For Just $300 ($12.50 a month for two years) you can help a young girl become a nun. For $1080 ($15 a month for six years) you can sponsor a seminarian all the way to Ordination. Now you can have a priest or Sister in your family,

THE PERFECT MEMORIAL

Dear Monsignor Nolan:

Many poor Catholics in the Near EasJ do not even have a church of their own in which to worship.

You can help. Where? The mountain people of Kerala, primitive farm folk who live in mud huts, desperately need to replace the ramshackle shed that now serves as a chapel. Just $4000 will give the 185 Catholic families there a modest but adequate church-an ideal Memorial for someone you love.

THE Al'\CHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. Oct. 16,1980

:wJten fam~es stay together

By Mitchel B/ Finley

Aunt Agnes, 94, lives with Tom and Mary Levinson and their eight children in a suburban home. A single woman all her life, Aunt Agnes has lived with the son and daughter-in-law of her sister for several years.

Because of her senility, the Levinsons say, this is somewhat like having a baby in the house again.

Living with Aunt Agnes is most difficult in some ways for Mrs. Levinson. Because she works in the home all day, she finds it frustrating at times to respond with patience to Aunt Agnes' behavior.

Sometimes Aunt Agnes moves in the patterns of her younger days \puttering about the kitchen, replacing utensils and food items in completely different places from where she found them. , Because of her condition, if the family wants' to spend an evening away from home, someone must be found to stay with her, much like a baby sitter.

On the other hand, the Levinsons' are pleased with the ways in which their children have Ifarned to care for Aunt Agnes with consideration for her needs.

The children seem to have gained

'~

a certain maturity from living with 'a person of 94. AU the family members have thought about and discussed the fact that they too will grow old. In some ways the Levinsons are able to see themselves in Aunt Agnes.

The Levinson family also has gained a deeper appreciation for how dependent each family member is on the others. Aunt Agnes is simply the most obvi.eus example of this need.

Sociologist Philip Slater has discussed the American tendency to simply, "flush away" things that offend or cause discomfort.

Death itself is a part of life, yet how many people have ever seen another person die? Mo.re often, Americans set aside hospitals and nursing homes for death.

Morticians do their best to make the dead look as alive as possible for the funeral.

A similar attitude is at work when people grow old. They are shunted into special homes ,whenever possible. Yet the absence of old people leads to impoverished lives for all. If old people are segregated, society creates a world with an illusion of perpetual youth. Any truly old person who remains in their

midst seems an oddity whose presence can make people feel uncomfortable.

The appearance in recent decades of much-publicized retirement villages in the warmer climates of the United States is another illustration of this process.

But the sad thing about retirement villages is perhaps that the people who live in them sometimes feel this is where they ought to live - away from regular contact with young people, children and babies.

The one lesson the 'Levinson family would like to teach others is that the different generations need to be' in regplar contact with one another. The aging process is part of the way God created human life. Aging is meant to help people learn to be more caring, to grow iq authentic human wisdom and to stay in touch with the mysteJ1i of G<ld. . On, ~ays when Aunt Agnes' senility is particularly debilitating, Tom Levinson takes an hour or so to sit with, her. At such times Aunt Agnes can be reached only through music. So Tom will sing the old songs, like "Bicycle Built for Two" or "Let , the Rest of the World Go By~"

By Janaan Manternach A large crowd gathered one day to listen to Jesus. They had come from Judea, Tyre and Sidon. It was the same day Jesus chose 12 of his followers to be his apostles.

Jesus wanted to teach the Twelve and 'the crowd a very 'important lesson. What Jesus told them that day surprised them all.

I He began: "To you who hear me, I say, love your enemies.

Do good to ~hose who hate you."

People looked at one another in amazement. "Love people who are your enemies?" they askeg themselves. "Why be

good to people who hate you?

What a strange new teaching!"

Jesus let them know that they had not misunderstood him.

"Bless those who curse you," he went on to say. "And 'pray for those who mistreat you. When someone slaps you on One cheek, turn the other cheek."

The people found Jesus' words hard to accept. As Jews they knew that the law of God commanded them to love their neighbors.

But they never thought neighbors included enemies. But Jesus was tel~ing them to pray 'for people who treated them badly and to bless those who cursed them.

Continued from page twelve specific. "Be compassionate, as your Father is compassionate" (6:36). He continues with practical examples: "Do not judge . . . Do not condemn . . . Pardon ... Give" (6:38-38).

Throughout this Gospel, Jesus comes through as exquisitely sensitive, kind, forgiving and giving. He is the perfect man, the perfect image and likeness of God; because he is authentically human.

If charity begins at home, so does humanity. If Christians cannot love those who share their home, their prospects for loving others are dim indeed.

Generation gaps always have hampered communication, but now those gaps have widened into culture gaps. Children are

Dirlgida .pelo Rev. Edmond Rego

Sacramento da Unidade Muitas vezes ouvimos dizer sue 0 Sacramento.da unidade por excelencia e a Eucaristia, que Santo Agostinho chama "sinal da unidade". Com efeito, a'Eucaristia simboliza, supoe, exige e consuma a un1dade entre todos os que formam 0 Corpo de Cristo. ~s 0 Corpo Mistico nao pode estar dividido, desmembrado e rasgado, como nao 0 esta 0 Corpo fisico do Senhor no Sacramento.

Celebrariamos indignamente a Eucaristia, se ela nao fosse para os cristaos uma urgente eXigencia de unidade; nao podem viver desunidos e sem amor os' que pretendem viver em "Comunhao" com Cristo, ja 9ue pelo mesmo' facto de rejeitar um so membro, urn so homem, rejeitariam a Cabe9a e separar-se-iam dela, profanando a Eucaristia.

Ha, porem, outro principio de unidade tao profundo como a Eucaristia, que edifica a Igreja, a partiD dos proerios alicerces, e prepara ~ara a uniao consumada e perfeita da eucaris~ tia. Esse principio de unidade e 0 Bap tismo. Por isso, oconceito de Igreja de Cristo, segundo 0 Concilio Vaticano II, a Congrega9ao dos crentes que veem em Jesus 0 autor da salva9ao.e 0 principio da unidade e da paz, apoia-se . mais no Baptismo (e ainda antes nafe) do que nenhum outro Sacramento. ~ por isso que, todos nos, os baptizados, nos chamamos "cristaos"; apesar diss6, nem todos os Cristaos celebram a Eucaristia; .todos os crentes em Cristo tern esse principio de. uniao e esse si~ nal de unidade que e 0 Sacramento do Baptismo •.

Pelo Baptismo ingressamos na Igre~ ja una, como afirmamos no Credo, de tal forma que n~m sequer as diferen9as acidentais, no campo dafe, separam da unidade substancial as diversas confissoes cristas.

Por isso, O' COllcilio, no Decreto sobre 0 Ecumenismo, diz:"o Baptismo, portanto, constitui 0 vinculo sacramen tal da unidade que existe entre todos aqueles que por rneio dele foram regenerados".

E na Constitui9ao sobre a Igreja afirma: "0 povo eleito de Deus e uno: um so Senhor, uma so fe, umso Baptismo; comum e a dignidade dos membros pela sua regenera9aoernCristo, comum a gra9a de filhos, ,comum a ~oca9ao a perfei9ao, ·uma ,sosalva9ao, uma so esperan9a e caridade indivisivel. " As razoes teologicas desta unidade da Igreja e dos seus membrosda-no-las S. Paulo quando diz que os cristaos devem conservar e viver a unidade, pois "so ha urn corpo e um espirito, como tambem uma so esperan9a a 9ual fostes chamados por voca9ao; um so Senhor, umasofe, um so Baptismo, um so Deus e Pai de todos, que esta sobre todos, por todos e em todos."

A tudo isto devemos acrescentar a vontade expressa de Cristo, que-quer que conservemos'a unidade que Ele mesmo nos ordenou e pediu ao Pai para todos os que crerem n'Ele pela Sua palavra, na Sua ora9ao Sacerdotal: "Que todos sejarn um ••. para que sejarn perfei' tamente urn ..• " \

Continued from 'page twelve Jesus went on to challenge them all to treat everyone the way God himself does.

"Love your enemy and do good," Jesus continued. "If you do, .your reward will be great.

People will call you, sons of God; because you will be acting the way .God acts. He is good to people' who are ungrateful and wicked."

Jesus paused. Then he added a sentence the apostles would never forget. It summed up what he most wanted people to learn. "Be compassionate, as God, your Father, is compassionate."

The people understood the meaning of "compassionate." It was a word the Bible used to describe how God acts toward people. Other ~words for com· passion are "mercy," "kindness" and "tenderness."

Jesus was telling the people that they were to treat others with the same forgiveness and kindness God shows to everyone even those who turn against him. God provides sun and rain, food and drink for good and bad alike.

This new teaching of Jesus was as challenging as it was surprising. It seemed to turn everything upside down. Loving enemies ,makes sense only for those who want to be like God!

Gaps Cqntinued from page twelve uncomfortable with their questions and their real feelings.

The need seems great for dia· lqgue among the generations about each other's real needs and desires. The potential hid· .den within present relationships can be great; it needs to be tapped.. But the potential is hard to tap if the older people are not accorded respect, if the value of their lives now is not considered.

Discussion could lead to the realization that an older family member no longer wants to live alone and that this concern needs attention. But discussion may also reveal that what older relatives really want are special times with their families.

You lov.e it by making a stand against the things that are wrong and you don't need a gun 'to do it. " A Printer' I have a young friend who admires Benjamin Franklin. He has a vast store of information about this radical yet reasonable Ame,rican. On!! item is Franklin's prospective epitaph, written by himself in his 22nd year: "The Body of Benjamin Frank, lin, Printer, (like the cover of an, old book, its contents torn out and stript of its lettering a~d gilding); lies 'here, food for worms. But the work shall not be lost, for it will (as he believed) appear once more, in a new and more elegant edition,

revised and corrected by the Author."

When preparing his will six decades later, this editor-authordiplomat - statesman - scientist philosopher introduced himself as "I, Benjamin Franklin' of' Philadelphia, Printer . . ."

Lee all those who do our printing take a bow!

Well there's too many windows in this old hotel , And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have .worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside.

Gonna pull in the shutters on this heart of mine Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds And retreat to the chambers that I left behind In hopes· there still may be love .left to find Still may be love left to find . Seek inspiration in aany affairs Now your soul is in trouble and requires repairs And the voices you hear at the top of the stairs Are onIy' echoes of unanswered prayers Echoes of unanswered prayers.

Hickory Grove Music, adminIstered by April Music Inc.

DAN FOGELBERG TELLS what it's like not to feel alive.

It is like having. a "hotel with nobody living inside."

Sometimes people must pull back from their usual ,interests and' relationships to assess what has been happening in their lives. Fogelberg sugg~sts that this has happened to him. There have been "too' many windows" opening into his solil and he has been hurt. He- is uncertain about what direction to take. I Unfortunately he gives no indication that he eventually wants to re-enter the world of .his relationships ·and usual concerns. To be healed from brok.enness, time away from others needs to lead to renewed courage to enter the' world.

All of us face defeats in life.

A relationship we tho~ght. was good may break up, an unportant . test .may get us down. Life's winners are people who can accept. defeat and not be crippled _by it but move beyond setbacks to new opportunities. I Many times I have stated that . followe~ of Christ oqght to recognize the dignity and self-worth of everybody. This especially applies to those we meet who are dealing with a failure of some sort.

portswQtch Feehan Bqck on Win Trail The Bishop Feehan High Shamrocks got back in the win column last Saturday wlth. an impressive 27-7 deoision of Dighton-Rehoboth's Falcons at Hayward Field in Attleboro.

The Shamrocks, now 1-2 in Division Three of the Southeastern Mass. Conference and 2-2 overall, built up a 27-0 lead before the -Dighton-Rehoboth gridders could get on the scoreboard.

A 10-yard pass play from Mike DiPietro to Mark Gaboury gave Feehan its first score ;in the opening quarter. The conversion attempt failed. The Shamrocks scored twice in the second period, Jim Julius scoring on a 12yard run, Di'Pietro ran dn for the bonus points, and Gabourian tossed a 36-yard pass to ,Bill Hyland for the other TO. A 10yard pass play from Hyland to Pete Roberge and a, kick for the

extra point in the third quarter ended the Feehan scoring. Dighton-:Rehoboth's lone touchdown was scored by Jeff McGlynn on a 35-yard run in the last canto.

The Coyle-Cassidy Warriors, who had held the Division One Durfeeites to a scoreless tie a we-ek earlier dropped a 20-0 decision to the Old Rochester Bulldogs in a :D;ivision Three encounter in Taunton. Chl'is Riley scored all three Old Rochester touchdowns.

Other conference scores last Saturday: Division One - Taunton 21 New Bedford O. iDivision Two - Somerset 3 Dartmouth 0, Barnstable 34 New Bedford Yoke-Tech 8; Falmouth 18 Fairhaven 6. Division Three-<Bourne 35 Seekonk 14, Wareham 36 Case 12. In non-league play Durfee defeated Malden Catholic ,6-2.

Old Rochester Wins Crown Old Rochester, the only undefeated and untied team in Conference soccer, clinched the Division Two East crown with a 6-2 victory last Fr.iday over Bishop Connolly, 'the Division Two West leader. Holy Family's 1-0 win over Diman Yoke gave the Parochials 'a second-place tie with Yoke-Tech in Division Two East.

Home to Diman Yoke tomorrow, Connolly could solidify its hold on first place in Two West with a win in that contest. Dartmouth is host to Westport in another Two West game. Two East games tomorrow have Stang at Holy Family and Yoke-Tech at Old Rochester, a situation that could conceivably give. Holy Family undisputed, possession of the runnerup spot; Falmouth maintalns the lead in Division One ,East but New Bedford and iDennis-Yarmouth are still within reach. Falmouth is host to New Bedford and Dennis-Yarmouth V'isdts Barnstable tomorrow.

The Divlsion One West pennant race is down to two serious contenders, Somerset and Attleboro. Tomorrow Somerset, holding a one-point lead over Attleboro, is at Durfee and Attleboro

is host to Taunton.

In the Hockomock League's first season in soccer, Franklin was the pace-setter entering yesterday's play with a 5-0-0 record. Foxboro was second with a 4-1-0 slate. They meet tomorrow at IFoxboro and the league' crown, to all dntents and purposes, ,could be deoided on the outcome of ,that game. Thirdplace Stoughton (3-2-0) is home to K,ing Philip (1-3-1) and No. Attleboro (1-4-0) is host to~ha­ ron (0-4-1) in other Hockmock games tomorrow. "

,New Bedford continued its winning way in the Bristol County eyO Hockey League with a victory last Sunday night over East Bay, formerly BI1istols. It was the pace-setters' third victory in as many starts. Fall River South defeated Somerset and took undisputed possession of second place.

Symbols following film reviews indicate both general and Catholic Film Office ratings, which dO not always coincide.

General ratings: G-"-suitable for general viewing; PG-parental guidance suggested; "-restricted, unsuitable for children or younger teens.

Catholic ratings: Al-approved for children and adults; A2-approved for adults and adolescents; A3-approved for adults only; B-objectionable in part for everyone; A4-separate classification (given to films not morally offensive which, however, require some analysis and explanationl: C-condemned.

New Films "Stardust Memories" (United Artists): This latest Woody Allen film focuses upon a writer-director, a fellow very like Woody' , Allen, who is weary of his celebrity status and driven frantic by his fans. He no longer wants to make people laugh with his movies, but he doesn't know what else to do. This true confession-style work is only fitfully funny, and its serious flights 'stop far short of profundity. Because of its frequent profanity and the promiscuity of its hero, this film has been classified PG, A3.' ''Why Would I Lie" (United' Artists): A talented cast is wasted in this misconceived romantic comedy about an eccentric misfit who finds meaning in life by illegally adopting an orphan. Because of profanity, vulgarity and warm endorsement of promiscuity, this film has been classified PG, B. "He Knows You're Alone" (United Artists): A psychotic killer of young brides·to-be is the focus of this low-budget exploitation thriller. Because of its physical and psychological violence, sexual titillation and occasional profanity, it has been classified R, C. Films on TV Sunday, Oct. 19, 8 p.m. (ABC) -"Funny Lady" (1975)-Barbra Streisand stars again as Fanny Brice in this sequel. Above average entertainment but the basic plot, situations and the dialogue are for adults. A3 Sunday,Oct. 19, 8 p.m. (NBC) -"The Outlaw Josey Wales" 1976): Clint Eastwood is a farmer who becomes an 'outlaw to gain vengeance on marauders who killed his family. A graphic attempted rape sequence and the absence of any moral perspective to balance the slaughter are morally offensive. B

(CBS) - "House Calls" (1978): Walter Matthau plays a widowed doctor whose pursuit of compliant young women is stopped short by, independent-minded divorcee Glenda Jackson in a tepid little comedy thoroughly adult in theme and dialogue. A3
