Bishop asks aid to Ethiopia

Theologian justif~es

baboon use WASHINGTON «NC) A Catholic University of America moral theologian, commentling on the transplant of a baboon heart into "Baby Fae," said such animal-to-human transplants can be justified as a last option to enhance an individua,l's :life. But the theologian, Father Robert Friday, warned against violat'ing the dignity of the hu man person and experimenting on uninformed subjects, such as newborn infants. Father Friday, Cat-hoHc Uni versity associate dean of reli gious studies, teaches bioethics in the university's nursing school and has been involved in medical ethics'issues for 12 years. "Baby Fae" was born in Cali fornia one month prematurely with the left side of her heart almost missing. She received the baboon heart Oct. 26 and was progressing well one week after the operation. Animal rights organizations protested the kiUing of a healthy baboon to obtain the transplant· ed heart. Others argue that the operation futilely prolongs the infant's suffering. "If it is a last option, I'd say 'fine, go with it: " Father Friday said. "I don't have a problem with using animal parts in pre serving or enhancing human life." He said he was concerned, however, that in a society "where abortion is taken as a matter of course," newborns could become seen as "not as human as if.'he rest of us" and used as experi~ mental subjects.' Medical treatment ~'ought to be therapeutic and not research oriented, so we don't tum unin formed slJlbjects into guinea pigs," he said. Father Friday said attitudes are already moving in this di rection as some people view new borns as ful'ly human only after I their parents accept them and take on responsibility for early care. Although the Catholic Church has not taken a position on ani mal-to-human transplants, Fath er Friday said he doesn't believe the new medical practice con flicts with Catholic teachings. Baby Fae's situation differs from keeping people alive on respirators, Father Friday said. When a patient is brain dead, these machines don't "offer rea sonable hope of benefit:' he said, but .for Baby Fae the un ,usual heart transplant offers hope of a full life.

Recalling his service in Ethi opia from 1957 to 1961, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin has issued a heartfelt plea for aid to the some six miHion people facing starvation in that famine-ridden land. His letter to priests of the diocese follows: Reverend and dear Father: No doubt, you, dear Father, have shared in the distress of people through out the world at the media reports of the pI.ight of our .brothers and sisters in Afri ca.

Disarmament fund asked UNITED NATIONS (NC) A member of the Vatican's ob server mission to the United Na tions has called for an inter national disarmament fund which would shift money from weapons production to international de velopment efforts. Sister Marjorie Keenan, who spoke during an October debate , by the UN. General Assembly.'s Political Committee on Disarma ment, sa,id star:.ting such a f,und would' mark the beginning of "the reordering of the world's priorities." As the relation between dis armament and development be comes ,recognized, the moral ob 'ligation to link the two will be 'increasingly felt, said the Reli gious of the Sacred Heart of Mary.

Disarmament measures, she said, would not automatically lead to release of more inter national funds for development, but the proposed fund could be a step toward transferring reo sources from arms to develop ment. . 'Progress in disarmament is needed, Sister Keenan said, so states and people alike can main tain ,their conviction that peace is possible. She said a chemical weapons ban is the beginning area where .progress seems most possible. Sister Keenan also addressed the 'issue of outer space weapons, calling them a threat to world peace and well-being.

Remy Fac all served as pastors, each for approximately a year. In July of 1930 Father Callis tus Szpara began his active pas torate, establishing the Children of Mary Sodality and the St. Vincent de Paul Society and en gaging sisters to teach catecheti cal classes.

the'moorins.-, The Challenge of Vocations A con~inuing effort to emphasize the vocational needs of all church ministries has' been a priority" of this paper. We feel a special responsibility to br~i1g before our read~rs the fact of the vocation crisis, to highlight areas of special' need and to provide information for both those desirous of encouraging commitment to Christ and those considering .1 such commitment. However, given the circumstances of our time, voca tion efforts face unique challenges. For this re~son, the church must employ all the means at her disposal to ex tend the age-old invitation toCh~istians~to become laborers in God's vineyard. Indeed, the world in general is becoming more and more dependent on use of the media' to promote ideologies,

beliefs and needs. The church is well aware of this depen

. dency and realizes that the full influence of electrnnic tech

nology upon mankind 'is yet to come. More, and more she

is transmitting to her members not only the,Gopd News

.but also some of the disturbing news, an openness encour aged by the new forces of communication. This candor is nowhere more obvious than in the area of vocation publicity, where the new.technologies provide the church with an almost limitless array of opportunities to explore new methods of surfacing the questions and problems of. vocations in the minds and hearts' of her members. In addition to the proven efforts of the Catholic press: there now exists the whole area of television. Local cable tele'vision and the new low power stations are now a( hand. The possibilities of videotape usage are nearly unbounded. Religious broadcasting has proved an effective means of disseminating church information arid needs, as evidenced NC Photo by the success of the PTL network and of entrepreneurs 'Laul'1lc~ out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.' - Luke 5:4 running the gamut from Swagg~rt to Roberts: Evangelists and fundamentalists have been more than I enterprising in their use of the media and the Catholic com ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••i munity is beginning to realize their potential with the work of Mother Angelica, Father John Bertolucci and the Cath olic Television Network of America. 7' The possibilities and feasibility of using the visual : media to promote vocations are as far-reaching as the imagination of the user. • e"O . • The extent of our vocation crisis should be sufficient : WIT H o i motivation for .dioceses and religious orders to seek new ways of bringing to the attention of the whole church the needs of the hour.

FATHER NICK WEBER with one of his incredibly rapid dogs. (Torchia Photo)

Address

A clown for God

By ·Pat McGowan

Do you think the religious life is boring? Ask Father Nick Weber, a -45 year-old Jesuit. Last month at Bishop Connolly High School Fall River, he starred in the 3,500th performance of his Royal Lichtenstein Quarter Ring Side walk ,Circus. "With spangled joy and sing ing laughter we bring you the circus," he and his five-member troupe told the Connolly stu dents. Doesn't sound boring. It isn't. The fast-paced show, highlighted by dramatizations of contemporary fables and includ ing fire-eating, animal J!cts, juggling, high-wire ,performances and unicycle stunts, is accom panied by nonstop patter from Father Weber, in whiteface and ringmaster attire.' He smoothly incorporates unexpected inter ruptions such as the mid-pro gram departure of an athletic team for an away game. toW-ish ,them luck," he urged his audience, "even if tliere were so many in the Htter their mother had to put numbers on their backs." Jntroducing the circus dogs, apparently just standing there, he solemnly explained that their tricks were so fast you couldn't see them. Later, however, the pooches descended to such visi ble feats as Jeaping through hoops and riding atop a pony. Interviewed after the show, Father Weber said his love af fair with the cirous began at age 5 when he first visited the • Big Top. "I never recovered from the magic," he said. He became involved in thea tre while attending Jesuit col leges and went on to take mas

ter's degrees in both theology

and drama. Increasingly, he

came to feel that traditiona,1

theatre wasn't reaching "Joe

Truckdriver." Neither was street

theatre, with its emphasis on

mime, which came to the U.S.

from Europe tn the 60s.

Yet, as a priest, Father

Weber wanted to use drama, to'

convey the Gospel message. He

thought of his old love, the' cir

cus. Then he thought of wed

ding the silent action of the

mime artist to the spoken word.

That gave birth to the "fables- '

for-our-times" for which the

troupe is noted.

One presented at Connolly was a tale of two cities. In one, everyone. was gainf.ully employ ed and money J'uled; in the other, the most important things were large and 'lovely trees and the most important people were poets, dancers, singers and magicians. . Money was un . needed' ,because .people traded goods and services. One day a: dancer-magician

from the second city visited the

prod~cing a horde of rabbits,

he entered a restaurant and

feasted, thinking his .perform

ance had earned his meal. ~lap

ped in jail for. not paying his

check, he ,thought he was in a

hotel but found he couldn't' get

out to feed his hungry rabbits.

Consequently they roamed the

city, eventually eating all the

paper money. A'imostpenniless, the people

of the second city began to

They liked the experience so

much ,that even though money

again became available, they

I "I can see that we will get to t·he otdination of married men," but .if: 'it happens it "wi'll come, primarily" in Africa and South , Amerfca, he said. "W!il we allow pr~ests to malTY?" the archbishop asked.

"That seems to be unlikely. There has <been a :long tradition t:hatilfter receiving the sacra ment of orders, men do not. marry." _ The church's Eastern rites per mit. the ordination.of married men, but a priest who is celi-, bate or whose wife dies may not marry after ordination.', Asked about the possibility of women priests, A'rchbishop Kelly said he upholds the church's teaching that women'

are not to be ordained. "I have not found anything compelling me, in the tradition of the church, to say women/can be ordained," , But he added, "The question is not dead. The question is in the heart of the church . . . to be pondered, to be discussed." Asked what he meant by "in the heart of the church," he re plied, "We're t:hinking about it. We're praying about it."

Vatican consulting more ·By Sister Mary Ann Walsh

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Two decades after the Second Vati can Council proclaimed the theo logy of the collegial church, the Vatican's consultation with local churches is seen as a major change in its operating style. That is the view of Vatican officials and religious in Rome who discussed the issue with National Catholic News Service. "In the old days, the Vatican just jumped into things in differ ent countries without consult ing the bishops," said Jesuit Father Robert Graham, noted church historian. Today, he said, the Vatican consults first. "Superior generals do not bluntly give orders to their com munity members anymore. They

However, if by any chance you sense that you have some funds available, even from parish accounts, which you could share in some measure for the Ethi opian relief program, I will happily .eceive. them at Chancery and transmit them at once ,to CRS headquar ters to supplement the gift already sent. Any ·additional monies which came to me from tlhis quarter will serve as a further manifestation of our solida.ity with the poor souls who are presently experiencing such dreadful suffering. Please ask your people to pray for our brothers and sisters in Afirica, especially those in Ethiopia.

churches

But he also noted that con situation can turn into pressure. "There's been enormous pres sure· on' Rome from the Latin American bishops," said the of ficial. The pressure, he said, has provoked the outspoken con· cern of the Vatican over libera tion theology. Similarly, he noted pressure on the Vatican from laity and con· servative publications in the Unit~ States "teUing the pope that the United States church is falloing apart." The official a'lso· said the Sy nod of -Bishops is increasingly a forum for consultation. The interviews also showed that the new Code of Canon Law has played an important role in Vatican-local ohurch rela tions. MaTyknol1 Sister Betty Ann Maheu of the superiors general union said that it "has given people something to hang on to and the bishops are now look ing toward it."

dialogue. They, in tum, expect that from the Vatican," said School Sister of Notre Dame Patricia Frost, executive secre tary of the Union of Interna tional Superiors General. Another reason for consulta tion cited was the complexity of issues involved, such as hun ger, housing and doctrinal ques tions. The Holy See "wants to be with" the local churches on ·these ;issues, sa'id one official. Consultation is supposed to be the rule for those who work at the Vatican, said one doctrinal congregation official who asked not to be named. He said that when he was ap pointed to the Vatican and given a major study to oversee he "was told to see ,to what ex tent Vatican II is in place in the area in question and to handle the project in collabora tion with the bishops as the pope . has directed." The official said he believes the most significant character-' istic of the papacy of Pope John Paul II is the pope's use of con· sultation. He sa'id that during ad 'limina visits, made by bishops every five years to report on the state of ,their dioceses, "the pope meets with each one formally and informally. He shares his table with them, and all are free to speak tJteir minds." Father Paul Boyle, superior general of the Passionist order and a consultant to the Vatican Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes, said consul tations also have' increased be ·tween the Vatican and religious .communities. "There's a strong move on dialogue," he said. A veteran Vatican official said that development' of new organizations, particularly ,inter naUonal assocations of bishops, has pushed the trend toward consultation.
