Commissioning to begin program On Sunday, Nov. 23, volunteers from 107 diocesan parishes' will be going door to door in the attempt to visit every single· household in the diocese of Fall an area covering River Greater Fall River, New Bedford, A:ttleboro and Taupton as well as all of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

All volunteers will be form'Illy commissioned by Bishop Daniel A. Cronin at a ceremony at 7 Sunday night at St. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River.

The unusual visitation, the largest ever conducted by the

diocese, will be· the first part of We Care/We Share, a program extending the hand of. friendship to all diocesan residents during the Advent and Christmas season.

At Catholic homes, the volun-

teers will leave· a confidential questionnaire to be filled out as part of a church census to ascertain need for additional services and programs, such as youth programs, services for the elderly, Portuguese language programs or family programs.

At non-Catholic homes, the volunteers will .simply extend a friendly hello and leave a sched-_ ule of social and ecumenical programs to be held during the Advent season in diocesan parishes.

The objective of the overall program is one of neighborliness.

Volunteers have been directed not to preach or discuss church doctrines.

"We are not out to convert members of other churches or to "steal sheep," said Father Goldrick. "We simply want to be neighborly to all."

The date for the start of the visitation program coincides with the feast of Christ the King, marking the last day of the church calendar year. It is expected to last through the week, wi~h volunteers returning to pick up the completed questionnaires Turn to Page Six

Death pen~ItystrucI~ down BOSTON ~C) - The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial. Court Oct. 28 declared the state's recently enacted death penalty law unconstitutional' !because it is "unacceptable under contemporary standards of decency in its unique and inherent capacity to inflict pain" upon persons convicted of first degree murder.

Chief Justice Edward F. Hennessey wrote a 31-page majority opinion, in a 6-1 decision which cited humane and moral as well ~s legal principles, including quotations from the Bible, Shakespeare, Aristotle, Albert.

Camus, Jean-:Paul Sartre and :Feodor Dostoevsky.

The majority opinion. was based ip part on a soon-to-bepublished four - state survey showing statistically that death sentences are disproportionately applied to minorities, particularly blacks, convicted of murder.

"We conclude therefore from

our examination ~f the actual operation of capital punishment provisions dn Massachusetts," ,the court stated, "that the death penalty, with all its full panoply of concomitant physical and mental torture, is impermissibly cruel under Article 26 (of the state constitution) when judged by contemporary standards of decency."

The chief justice recalled that Massach.usetts has peen without an effective death penalty' law since 1975. Although a number of individuals were convicted of murder, there -have been no executions in Massachusetts since 1947.

The high court cited this history in support of an opinion that ,there is "an impetus to respond in kind in punishing the person who has been convicted of murder. But the death penalty brutalizes the state which condemns and kills its prisoners."

themoori~ Election Reflections It is indeed a shame that only 52% of the eligible voting population of this country took the time and interest to vote during last week's national election. Finding the why of this tragedy must truly become a priority of those who seek assure the democratic. process.

to

Despite what might be theorized 'about this American disgrace, there is little doubt that those who did go to the polls路went with conviction, persuasion and certitude.

The overwhelming mand~te for change came from those who feel that America must take a. new direction to come to grips with the harsh realities of a land fast losing its reliance on the goals and objectives of the founding fathers.

It was indeed the launching of a new politics that will influence this nation for years to come.

There can be little doubt that the senior body of Amencan liberalism was due for a change. Little did most observers think that it would be so drastic, however.

The glamour boys of the sixties, now today's political grandfathers, could not face the aging process.

As a result their words rang hollow and their deeds ran aground. Others could see this but t,hey could not.

This was more than evident in the reaction of George McGovern of South Dakota, once himself the Democratic standardbearer. In his attempt to rationalize his rejection by the voters of his state, he made a declaration worthy of the thirties. Vowing to regroup American liberalism, he warned the nation that current political trends were the vicious revival of a political right whose sole objective was the destruction of the American dream.

In the nightmare of his own defeat, he attacked with special vengeance, those forces that felt this country to be heading for moral and ethical bankruptcy; Religiously affiliated organizations were of course threatened by the trite and insipid liberal incantations of the First Amendment.

In his/ wounded cries there was of course a grain of truth. There are many who wish to see an America that does indeed reflect in its political acts the great JudeoChristian heritage so uniquely American.

Th legalization of moral decadence was a major issue . bringing many to_ the polling booths. The waste and corruption of a federal,government grown uncontrollably un'" wieldy was another element many politicans refused to face with honesty.

thanks for YOlJr many services to the nation as president." .The. Catholic ,in the street, however, had varied reactions to the Reagan landslide.

Pick an iss~e - -tuition tax credits, jobs, inflation, the family, labor, arms control - and he or she reacted with delight or dismay according to his or her major interests. ",I'm pleased to note the overwhelming- victory," of Reagan, said Msgr. John Meyers, presi. dent of the National Catholic E d u cat ion a I Association (NCEA), "especially since he. favors tuition tax credits."

"I'm dismayed that a number 'of leading Democrats were defeated." said Jesuit Father Mike Schultheis of the Center for Concern. "It's bad for possible social legislation." He added that he is. concerned that "peoplelikely to surround Reagan do not share" Catholic views on social teachings.

"It'~ not necessarily a ques~ tion of Republican or Democrat - it's the conservatism," that worries Immaculate Heart Sister Nancy Sylvester.

Sister Sylvester, a lobbyist for Network, said the election brought about a "sobering reac'tion" on the part of Network, which "will keep trying to bring justice issues to bear.

She is concerned that the election results indicate preoccupation on the part of the American people with domestic issues such as jobs and inflation.

"I'm more concerned that people aren't looking beyond U.S. borders," she said.

"Also, how much personal morality will be legislated?" Sis-

ter Sylvester asked. She expressed concern that "senators targeted for defeat by the far right were often those. who were strong on human rights and arms control."

"Defeats for Catholic issues were few and far between," in the opinion of Michael Schwartz, executive director of the Catholic ,League for Religious and Civil Rights.

He sees tuition tax credit legislation as a possibility--'Father Meyers sees it as almost a certainty - and said anti-abortion measures such as' the Hyde amendment won't have problems in Congress now. .

Dominican Sister Mary Lou Kownacki, chairwoman of the executive council of Pax Christi, disagrees that defeats of Catholic issues were few.

"Reagan's rhetoric during the campaign was disheartening to those of us working for a world without war and we can only hope that his actions as president do not carry out that threat of militarism'-" . Reagan was the son of. an Irish-American father who never chose his father's religion.

The president-eloc.t was born Feb. 6, 1911, in rural Tampico, Ill., to Jack Reagan, described by . some as a hard-drinking firstgeneration Irish-American Catholic, and his wife Nelle, a member 'of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ). Ronald was baptized and brought up in his mother's church.

Ronald's brother, Neil, now a retired advertising executive in California, ultimately became a Catholic.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur., Nov. 13, 1980

We need A scene that haunts me is the one in which a woman held back and waited until all other participants were gone to ask a question after a talk of mine at a local church.

That's always a sign to a speaker that the person is hurting and rthis mother was. Her 18-year-old daughter had OD'd on drugs nearly a year earlier and nobody wanted to talk about it with her.

They were too uncomfortable.

They didn't know what to say so the deceased daughter became a void in personal conversations with the family - - a void that became pointed and painful.

IOU huns when people act as if Cindy never existed," said the mother, t~ars appearing in her eyes. ",y know they mean well but can't you tell people that when parents lose a child, they need to talk about that child?

Not about the death as much as about the life ... what the child was like, her friends, little stori.es, how they liked her, that kmd of thing." She was now crying openly. "I need to talk about Cindy and nobody will listen."

She pinpointed ,an obvious area of family·to-family ministry. I never lost a child, thank God, but I can empathize with someone who haS because I can guess at how devasted II would

I'm sure it wasn't because they were uncaring but because they didn't realize they didn't have to say profound words, just everyday ones.

CH.D· funds ContinlJed from pag~ one their relationships with the community at large.

All undertakings' will be tied into the Fair Share program and will be backed by the local and statewide Fair Share organiza,tjon. The in~tial thrust of the project will be in the 'Fall River . area· but movement into other parts of Southeastern Massachusetts 'is expected within the next few years.

Priest sh~rtage in ·lndonesia VATICAN CI1Y (NC) - .Sixty percent of all acts of Catholic worship in Indonesia take place without a priest, Vatican Radio said, reporting on a recent pastoral letter by Archbishop Leo Seokoto of Jakarta.

The radio station said the archdiocese has only .133 priests 55' of whom are native Indonesians, to serve a Catholic population . of 148,QOO.

Fair Share is an advocacy movement that brings together low and moderate income people in pursuit of economic' justice.

It has 31 neighborhood chapters in the commonwealth and a membership of over. 30,000. Its recent campaigns have worked towards neighborhood rev,italization, solution of energy problems, adjustment of utility rates and property taxes, extension of public transportation, provision of police protection .. and improvement of slum housing.

Members have also protested various. forms of pornography.

Archbishop Seokoto said the Priest shortage would be considerably worsened if the government expells foreign missionaries. . .

THE ANCHOR-Diocese ~f FallR1Yer-Thur., Nov. 13,1980 ,

frederic's flowers

By Dr. James and Mary KeJiny Dear Dr. Kenny: Wba~ do you think about eh1Idren gambling?

My husband' and I were surprised while watching fooiban on television to hear about our children's bets. On'one' game our 13-year-old had a total of $5 bet with -four' different boys. Even our 12-year-old daughter, who doesn't know football, from fox hunting, bets. Should we worry abt)ut this? What sbouIa we do?

A. ChiIdren love to take risks and triumph against the odds.

Even more attractive is the ele.ment of magic in gambling.

Children are not so far removed from fairy tales. They hav~ faith that dreams' come true.

Magically the dice will roll to the chosen number. They really believe they will win.

Seen in this context, the betting you describe is a normal part of growing up. Like most' developmental aberrations, gatitbling requires acceptance and understanding on the part of parents, who perhaps regard it with a certain amused tolerance.

"Gambling is an addiction," some people have claimed. That is incorrect. G~bling may be a very bad habit for certain adults, but it is not an addiction. Alcoholism, certain drugs, cigarettes, even some physical activities are addictive because they can cause the body to develop a physical

hunger for the substanc,e or activity. Although' it may become a very bad habit, difficult to get rid of, gambling does not fall into the category of an addiction.

"Gambling is immoral," others have claimed. That too -can be incorrect. In itself, gambling seems morally neutral. It could be wrong if the gambler risks money that belongs to spmeone else or that is needed by the family.

Many 'adults enjoy playing bingo in church basements. They do not seem to be squandering . the family bread money 'and they do 'seem to have a good time. Other adults like to play poker. Same of my fondest childhood memories are of play-, ing penny ante poker W)th my dad and uncles. We all took the game seriously, yet there was no danger of losing one's bankroll.

Nor did I grow up to be a habitual gambler.

Adults can now bUy lottery tickets in many states for a weekly moment of excitement.

Adults trade stocks and bonds, buy and sell gold, s~ate on futures, all hoping to,' make a quick fortune the, easy way.

At beSt, providing one has money to use for entertainment, gambling can be fun. At worst, gam,bling can be a very bad habit, leading ~ an adult to riSk

funds he has no right to :lose. In the middle, gambling Can' be a l!.armless, morally neutral activity. In a growing child, gambling represents a normal stage of risk taking and magical hopes.

So 'what should a parent do?

I think you should do noti)ing.

Many chilQNn try,then grow out of activities such as you., de- ' ,scribe. Any attention' you give; positive or negative, will only, serve to make the gambling more interesting. ' In a more positive v~n. 1OU' might encourage your children in other activities that involve risk and magic. In competitive sPorts a child must set his skiDs against a peer and a chance on his ability. Magic is more difficult to find in our real adult world. Card and table games, .a" ' magician's set, even the encxiur- , agement to read and Wnk abOut fancifu~ adventure storieI' may help. If you are, worried that your children bet money, and' r believe they do this out of a need for magic and'r\Sk talclng, then you might encourage your chUdren to meet these needs, in other ways that are. more ac~' ceptable to you. _

COIMltIENTLY LOCATED TO ROUTES 148 .. 195

By Marilyn JloiIer'lck In this day arid age it is deIightful to find someone enthu. siastic about anything, especially food. So it was a pleasure discussing the fun of creative cooking with HlUlk SbQpson of St. Patrick's parish, Somerset.

"Cook, you'll feel better," is the motto 'of this adjustment counselor at Case High School in Swansea who finds that the most relaxing thing he. can do is to whip up great gourmet meals for family and friends.

Hank ventured into the world of creative cooking 15 years ago when he was first married and he and his wife began entertaining friends for dinner. With Julia Childs' cook book as guide, he discovered that he enjoyed the cooking for' company more than did his wife and thus his hobby began.

Today the Simpsons' favorite way Qf entertaining is offer guests D;leals that have that little something extra.

"I have found that six to eight people- is a manag~able number for either a sit~down dinner or a late after-theatre supper," said Hank. ''With that number the' cook can prepare ahead, do lastminute touches while the guests are there, and then sit down and enjoy the company as well as the food."

Hank says there are enough recipes in gourmet cooking magazines to satisfy the most avid chef and he looks forward to their monthly arrival at his home with great anticipation. ,Fresh ingredients are a mU$t in Hank's kitchen and' he has

Unless an annulment process or other procedure (such as a Pauline Privilege case) has been . completed, neither partner in a divorce is free to remarry in the Catholic Church.

.Waiting for an'invitation

By Father John J. Castelot -In Luke's Sermon on the Plain there is a series of sayings beginning with, ",Be compassionate, as your Father ·is compassionate" (6:36).

These sayings seem loosely connected, but perhaps could be summed up in this paraphrase: Strive to be Godlike, but be careful not to play God. Be compassionate and pardon but "do not judge,and you will not be judged" (6:37).

know your faith II

In pursuit of unbelievers

By Katharine Bird

A "tide of unbelief" is spreading over Ithe Western world, shaking the foundations of faith and eroding traditional supports for the Christian life~ said Father Ernan McMullin during a recent interview.

The professor of philosophy at the University of Notre Dame said this process is occuring most rapidly in Europe, ,in such countries as England and France where recent polls indicate less than 20 percent of the people attend church.

In the United States, this erosion is slower, he said, perhaps because of the strong parish system and this country's firm reo ligious foundations. A late 1970s Gallup poll indicated that more than 90 percent of Americans claim belief in GOd. . Church interest in unbelievers is coupled tOda~ with great in-

terest in inactive Catholics.

A committee of· the U.S. bishops recommended ·in 1978 that 'evangelization efforts focus particularly on the "uncburched those Catholics so functionally inactive in the church that they can be classed as churchless."

Unbelievers can differ greatly from inactive Catholics. But they may have some similar prob~ -lems. In America there has been an effort to "identify the sources of unbelief in Christian life," said Father McMullin.

Complicating the picture, Father McMullin said, is the fact that society no longer offers much support for Christian be· lief. Aspects of ordinary lifem~ke it increasingly difficult for people to maintain their faith.

In addition, some people experience intellectual difficulties with' the faith.

But few people today abandon

Alienated young adults

By Ronald Krletemeyer Those who count the number of young adults under the age of 30 attending Sunday Mass do not need sophisticated research data to know that a great many young adult Catholics are not active members of the cburch.

Obviously, there is no single cause of the problem. Nor should people conclude that the fault lies entirely within the church. .

American society has undergone a revolution in lifestyle and social attitudes, p~rticularly in the areas of sexual morality and personal freedom. The U.S. economic system has produced a level of material wealth unprecedented in human history. Yet Americans are increasingly characterized by competitive individ-

Nevertheless, the data are startling. Older Catholics still 'participate in church functions with a high degree of regularity but among those under 25, there has been a massive dropout. The result: a church which is missing many vital and energetic members, those ,on whom its future life depends.

These sayings of Jesus alert us to a danger which can be ignored only at great risk to ourselves and others, the danger of letting sincere efforts at righteousness slip into smug selfrighteousness.

These trends and forces spell rough times for the church and contribute to the phenomenon of the alienated Catholic.

On the' other hand, there are problem aspects of the church.

Now, this may be clear, but it -is far from simple. For one thing, it can paralyze 'us, leading to a self-centered religion which

shows no concern for the spir-itual well-being of our brothers and sjsters. Oh, we can reach out to bring the love of Christ to people thousands· of miles away by assisting missionaries.

That is wonderful, of course, but who is going to reach out to the members of our own family or parish who have left the Christian community? If we don't, who will? Can we just sit back, leaving them to struggle alone?

There isa crying need for evangelization in our own back yards. When we see the crowds at Mass for Christmas and Easter, we are made sadly aware of just how many of God's children have, for all practical purposes, cut 'themselves off from his family. These are the only times they .come home, even though tlley may Hve just around the comer. They were baptized in the body of Christ, but cut off from it, for whatever reason, they are -in danger of wither-ing and dying.

Reaching out to them ,is a sacred obligation; it is not playing God. We are not condemning, simply inviting.

It is surprising how many people are just waiting for an. invttation, a sign of welcome.

In issuing an invitation - sen: sitivelY,subtly - we are not holding ourselves up as paragons of virtue. On the contrary, we are humbly admitting that we are weak and struggling and, ieft to ourselves, ihelpless.. : We need the Ufe of the body of Christ. We are simply suggesting that they, too, might be happy to know that they don't have to face life alone, that they do have a family that really cares - and misses them.

Pope sounds warning on medical experiments VATICAN em (NC) - Pope 'John Paul II has warned of an "implidt danger to man's right to life" from medical experimen~ tation on artificial insemination, birth and fertility control, gene'tic engineering,' psyche-affecting drugs and organ transplants.

"Science is not the highest value," Pope John Paul. said in a major speech on medical ethics. ' He outlined ethical principles of medical experimentation on humans and warned against overuse of drugs as remedies.

He also warned of the "implicit danger to man's right to life that derives from discoveries in the fields of amficiai insemination, birth and fertility control, hibernation (cryobiology) and 'delayed' death,' genetic engineering, psyche-affecting drugs, organ transplants, etc."

"Certainly science has its own laws to which it adheres," he said. "Nevertheless it must recognize, especially in medicine, an impassable limit with regard to the human person and the safeguarding of his right to live in a way worthy of a human being."

The pope spoke to about 3,000 Italian physicians and surgeons meeting in Rome.

The pontiff outlined the limits of experimentation, the patient's right to full knowledge and free consent regarding the experiment, and the distinctions between personal danger or benefit for the patient and the common good which should guide experiments.

Such papal speeches dealing .with issues of medical ethics often become key reference points for Catholic medical teaching and practice.

The pope did not expand on his warning about the danger of some recent medical and biological discoveries.

On the overuse of drugs, he said that medicine is facing a new class of medical pathology, "iatrogenic" (physician-induced) iliness.

A new range of "illnesses of the skin, the nervous systerri, the digestive system, and above all illness of the blood" are being attributed to "indiscriminate use of pharmaceuticals," he said.

"It's not just a question of use of the wrong drug or even drug abuse," he said. "Often it's a matter of a real, true intolerance of the organism."

Regarding medical experimentation, "the dignity of the human person and of the ethical norm that derives from U" must be the primary point of reference behind sCientific research, the, pope said. ' Among ethical points he listed were: -Medical-clinical experimentation, cannot be started without first having taken all precautions against harming the subject.

-The pre-clinical phase of research "must, therefore, furnish the most, ample pharmaco-toxicological documentation."

-"The patient must be informed of the experimentation, of its goal and ,its eventual risks,

in such a way that he can give or withhold his consent in fuB awareness and freedom."

-"The doctor, in fact, has only that power and those rights over the patient that the patient grants to him."

-"The patient's consent is not, moreover, without some limits. Improving his own condition of health remains, except in particular cases, the essentiai goal of the cooperation by the ill person," -"Experimentation is justified, in fact, in the first place in the interests of the individual, not those of the collectivity."

-"This, never:theless, does not exclude the patient, provided his own substantial integrity is preserved, from being able legitimately to assume a proportionate level' 'of risk, to contribute by his initiative to the progress' of medicine and, in that way, to the good of the community ...

To give something of oneself within the limits spelled out by the moral norm cll:n constitute a highly praise worthy witness of 'charity and an occasion 'of spiritual growth so significant as to compensate for the risk of an eventual, ·insubstantial physical lessening."

The pope said that his commentson medical research also applied to surgery and applied medicine.

He warned against a .medicine "of pure technology and organi~ational efficiency" and caned instead for a commi,tment to the "'re-personalization' of medicine, which, drawing toward a more unified consideration of the iH person, favors the establishment with him of a more humanized relationship, namely one that does not harm the link between the psycho-affective sphere and his suffering bOdy." A source described the pope's comments on the ethics of medical experimentation as the most comprehensive papal treatment of the subject in recent years.

Stevens case Religious leaders in the long J. P. 'Stevens boycott have welcomed the news of a Stevensunion settlement but their enthusiasm was tempered by memories of the company's 17-year history of labor struggles.

"Stevens has a history of really not being very forthright, so I'm restraining my enthusiasm," Francisan ISister Rita Nieland of Network said.

Union members in 10 plants voted Oct. 19 to accept a contract with J. P. Stevens and Co. Inc. The nation's second largest textile company has fought to keep organited labor out of its 81 plants 'since 1963.

The vote came more than six years after the union won the right to, represent Stevens workers. Stevens has been cited repeatedly by the National Labor Relations Board fOr failure to bargain in good faith and the union had been unable to obtain a contract.

The people nodded. Most of them had probably done just that many times .with their servants..

Again, for many Catholics ,the church is simply no longer the center of daily life. In the past Catholics were a struggling people, often immigrants trying to adapt to a new country. The church was their support, at the hear:t of their lives, not only religiously but also socially and culturally.

Then Jesus began to make his point. "Would the master be particularly grateful to' his servant who was just carrying out orders?"

Now Jesus surprised ,them. He turned the story against them and their attitude of being so special. ' "It is just the same with you," Jesus told -them. They did not know what Jeaus was getting at, but they felt it would not make them very happy to hear.

However, despite inactive Catholics, some thinkers see hope for the future.
