'Busy, " as usual, saving the world'

Moth·e,r With NC News Reports

During an event-packed trip to the United States, Mother Teresa of Calcutta

-received the Medal of Free­dom;

-briefly dismissed feminism and liberation theology;

-told the Institute on Reli­gious Life why her community enjoys an abundance of voca­tions while others are perishing for lack of applicants;

-told the National Right to Life convention that babies at risk of abortion are in far worse plight than lepers;

-spoke to thousands at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

-made a flying trip to Toron­to where she consoled relatives of Air India crash victims and opened a new house of her com­munity.

Accepting the Medal of Free­dom at the White House June 20, the diminutive founder of the Missionaries of Charity and Nobel Prize winner was called by President Reagan "a heroine of our times." He noted. that the plaque' honoring her described her as the "saint of the gutters."

Reagan joked ;that Mother Teresa might be the first award

recipient to meU down her plaqu~ to get money for the needy.

Reagan said ,that 13 other Medal of Freedom winners had been cited at the White House a month earlier but Mother Teresa "could not attend because she had work to do - not special work, not unusual work for her, but everyday work which is both special and urgent in its own right. Mother Teresa was busy, as usual, saving the world."

After the ceremony, Mother Teresa was spotted by <the exu­berant and aggressive White House press corps walking on the White House driveway.

In moments, she was surround­ed by a huddle of cameramen, technicians and repol1ters, all trying to question or photograph her. Nonetheless, they treated her more politely than they do politicians or others less frail and ascetic-looking.

Mother Teresa merely smiled and handed out prayer cards, ad­

. vising all, before being bundled into a waiting limousine, "Very good, but now all of you have to make meditation."

I( of C to finance fac·elift. fo,r St. Peter's, VATICAN CITY (NC) - The

marble facade of St. Peter's Ba­silica is undergoing the first ex­tensive restoration ,jn .its 350­year history with financial sup­port from the Knights of Colum­bus.

The .p·roject involves repairs to the facade's surface, the 13 5tatues arrayed along its top, two marble friezes ov~r large clocks on either side, and the 12 supporting columns.

It will take over a year to complete th~ work:, said Arch­bishop Lino Zanini, head of the Vatican office overseeing the renovation. He declined to' esti­mate the 'cost of the project, which began in mid-April, but said it would be high in labor. and materials.

Scaffolding for workers has al­ready been erected on one side of the facade.

Archbishop Zaninl said in a re­cent.· interview with National Catholic News Service that the 390 - foot - wide, 150 - foot- - high structure and its 18·plus statues "clearly show need of radical re­storation work." The facade has become "less resistant to atmos­pheric agents and increasing pollution." '

Plans call for' replacing. the statues' rusting iron supports with stainless steel bands, strengthening'the molding around windows and sealing cracks in the marble with special chemi­cals. '

The 'Knights'hetame involved in the project following conver­sations involving Supreme Knight Virgil 'C. Dechant, Archbishop Zanini and Count Enrico. Gale­

azzi, chief representative at the Vatican for 50 years.

A spokesman at the organiza­tion's headquarters in New Ha­ven, Conn., said no estimate .of .the cost to be borne by the .Knights has been. made. He said the organization pllins to pay t~e cost of work or materials which are beyond the Vatican's resources.

Smaller restoration projects, chiefly for safety purposes, have been carried out at various times in . the basilica;s history, .Arch­bishop Zanini said. In the first half of the 19th century, iron support bands' were placed around the statues - of Christ, St. John the Baptist and 11 of the 12 apostles - atop the fa­cade. The statue of St. Peter is in front of the basilica.

Rust has made the bands "no longer capable of providing sup­port," Archbishop Zanini said. .

The archbishop said that the restoration' will not noticeably lighten the facade's brownish color, thus maintaining the ap­pearance of antiquity..He said that unlike other historical monu­ments in. Rome, the basilica has been protected from the ravages of auto exhaust because St.

The priest pointed out that communication cannot 'be one­way..

Citing a conversation with an official of the Vatican's justice and peace office, he said he was told that American Catholics must begin to appreciate church life outside the United States.

"The Vatican leaders see the U.S. church as a 'model' for the entire Catholic world, a world that they want to be orthodox and correct," he !laid.

Encouraged to visit the Vati­can leaders by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, Cardinal Timothy Manning of Los Angeles and Bishop James Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, Father Hynes said it was the first time an NPC president has made such contacts.

the moorin&-, Celebrating the Fourth

Next week this nation pauses to celebrate its national inde­pendence, the great and glorious Fourth. Each year the holi­day seems to be ce:lebrated with reference to the present time rather than to the historical event itself.

This year;s celebration will be no exception. The fact that Americans are being held hostage casts a shadow on the fact of national independence. Citizens of the United States are ~een to have little control o~er their own destini~s, even on an American airline.

We fly flags on the Fourth as a sign of patriotism; yet we are impotent to safeguard the'rights and freedoms of our citizens in t,he face oftoday's hostage mentality. In the irony of history, we are becoming prisoners of the world. 'Thisyear a'nation ,proud' of its 'independence realize.P how dependent it is on the fancies ()fthe fanatic. ',' " ,

We fly a flag this holiday that recently draped the coffins of murdered American Marines as well as that of the murdered hostage. The petty politics of central America has once again' exacted'its toll in American blood. ' . .

Inv,olvement of the United States in Central America is a real possibility. The, whys and wh~refores of the situation provide debate material for, all factions; yet the 'fact remains that Americans are still dying in foreign places. For them the flag of independence has ceased to fly. ' , "

These examples remind us all that the Fourth of July must not become a, mere fun day. Then~ should be at least a few moments taken to pause and consider the realities our country faces in its continUled struggle for independence. .

We shouldnot view the declaration .of 17?6asa mere echo of the past. It should also be for all of us the, expression of expectations yet to be fulfilled.

First and, foremost it should be a call to each and every citizen to renewed belief that all men, women and children are created equal. , ' ..

This has particular meaning today wh~.nmillions of citizens are debarred from complete enjoyment of their rights beca,use ofrace or rel~gion; wh~nAmericans,for-example,are thought of as second-class citizens because they are Black or Catholic.

Even more important; this holid~y of independence should remin.d us that ;th(: founding fathers vigorously set forth the principle that all men, ·women and children "are endowed ,by their Cr~ator' with certain unalienable rights" and that'among :! these the first is the right to life.

The fact of governmental support of abortion is in grave, conflict with this right and is indeed a nati.onal disgrace,. The red stripes of Old Gioty truly symbolize the blood' of the innocentvicti~s of legalized abortion. ," ','." .

Some would say that the only right Americans hold sacred ' today iSJ~ilt,ofthe pursuit of happiness. Life a~d liberty have 0

in many current situations gone by' the board. hFfuany ways', this statement is not an exaggeration. Even 'in"its p'rop~r con­text, the pursuit of happiness should flow from. the,' pro'Her priorities that life and liberty present.

Happine'ss will never be achieved as long as life is denied or liberty held captlv(:.

In our.own pursuit of happines~ durip.g this Fourth of July holiday, should we not remember those who have been denied life and those whose freedom is in hostage?

It would be wrong for any American to think that all is well. True, we may possess the best experiment in social govern­

ment on Earth. But we might remind ourselves that as citizens of a democracy, we can make it better.

We celebrate on this holiday not only what we are but, perhaps more than ever this year, what we can be. '

One of the ,best books on the su.bject is "God and the New Phys­ics'~byPaul Davies, published in 1984 by Simon & Shuster. Profes­sor Davies illuminates recent under- . standing of-quantum mechanics and relativity and applies these insights to the age-old questions of existence. His speculation on the origin a~d destiny ofour universe raises new questions that force the reader to reexamine previously taken for granted concepts. ,

Historically, science has an­swered many questions that pre­viously invoked God as the only solution available' of an· unex­pll!-ined phenomenon.

Professor Davies is critical of this 'so-called "God of the gaps." He contends that if God is to be found,it should surety be through

BLESSING.OF tHE FLEET AT PROVINC~TOWN

'They who sail the sea in ships, trading on the deep waters, these see the works of the Lord and his wonders in theabyss.' Ps. 106:23-24

Science and religion Certainly the wonder and awe

of scientists who probe into the subatomic world closely approx­imate the wonder and, awe of reli­gious man contemplating the ma­croscopic beauty of nature. The balance between the reductionist and .holistic approachto the study of nature is s~ important. Just as our brain is more than a biochemi­cal brew of neurons, there is more to matter than meets' our minds.

The laws of physics are models 'constructed .from logical consis­tencies expressed in mathematical formulas. The strength of classical physics lay in its demonstration of simple mathematical laws with macroscopic models. We are prob­ably. all familiar with the model of gravity as defined by Sir Isaac Newton and of the laws of motion as. applied to frictionless billiard balls. These laws prove their utility in such limited circumstances be­cause of the advances in science made by such men as Neils Bohr and Albert Einstein. .

While the hypothesized effects ofquantum mechanics and relativ­ity have been experimentally con­firmed in the past five decades, their philosophical implications have not.been fully appreciated by theologians.. Yet the understand­ing of topics such as the nature of time, the origin of matter and life, causality and determinism, and indeed, the very conceptual frame­work within which religious ques­tions are posed has.been altered inexorably by advances in quan­tum mechani~s,aqd f!:la~iyity.

• • I ......I.,k ,... ~ • • I •

This is not to say that Judeo­Christian doctrine. has been ren­dered meaningless by our improved understanding of space and time or our new insights into the origin and destiny ofthe universe. Science and religion can provide sure paths to the same source of all 'truth.

Science rewards the skeptic by sharing the eleg~nce and b,eauty of nature as revealed in the bright light of the scientific method. Reli­gion rewards the believer by shar­ing the awe and wonder encoded in the traces of God's creation dis­covered in the illuminating light of faith. Many paths lead to the same God.

I personally find a synthesis of science and religion spiritually , fruitful. Ratherthan positing God. as intervening in every step of creation and evolution, I find it comforting to believe in a Supreme Being who stepped back and allowed'the laws of physics to unfold until the moment that a creature capable of distinguishing good from evil evolved, at which point he infused his spirit.

. Thus, when' I contemplate the cold laws of nature and the vast­ness of the universe I can simul­taneously envision the gra'ndeur of creation with the awe and wonder described by scientists as elegance and beauty; and I can recognize ' with the eyes of faith the workings of human reason and free will put­ting God's will in action on this planet and in this time.

5 A need 'for order Many people today are con­

cerned that the United States is losing its competitive edge when it comes to matching the quality of foreign products. Is the quality of education to blame?

Because of concern about this, a new emphasis on programs in mathe­matics and science is beginning to emerge in educational institutions. Recently, in hearings on Capitol Hill, aid to programs in mathe­matics and science was discussed. In the process some interesting points about the state of education in the United States today were reported. .

Some who testified said that the entire educational system needs upgrading, not just math and science. Along with the question­able state of such skills as reading and writing, other disturbing inad­equacies were reported.

If restoring a competitive edge in the United States requires qual­ity education, where should tea­chers a.nd parents look to improve it?

One area we should look at, I believe, is the basic need for a mea­sure of order in education. Not regimentation, mind you, but order. For this can serve as a way of expressing personal concern for students.

The Greek philosopher Plato commented on the worth of music in education, and his comment

said something about the value of order in life.

Why train a person in music?, he was asked. Plato replied, "because it introduces, our soul to rhythm and harmony and has a socializing influence on us."

Can this be applied to the study of mathematics? I think, Plato would say that the orderly pro­gression of steps that math requires is as important as arriving at the answer to a given math problem.

Can. this thinking be applied to the home? I think so. Plato would probably say that a haphazard approach to life at home _ to time spent together at home - is coun­terproductive to harmony of the soul. I say this fully aware that people are frequently "on the run" today.

But, if we look at home as a place where the foundation of our children's education is established and also as the nation's richest resource, I have to conclude that promoting order at home will con­tribute in a valuable way to a child's overall education.

In order to achieve better school­ing and restore the competitive edge, I think the United States needs teachers who can imbue students with a deeper respect for the value of order. We need teachers who not only give arid mark tests but who take time with a student to point out"the logical progres­sion a term paper, math exercise

Catholic Charities head asks Reagan tax plan 'changes WASHINGTON (NC) - The

National Conference of Catholic Charities has told the Senate Finance Committee that it suP-. ports aspects' of President Rea­gan's :tax plan which help the poor' but that it seeks further· improvements, including a steep­er tax rate for the rich.

Msgr. Jerome Boxleitner,' na­tional president of Catholic Charities and executive director of Catholic Chari,ties in the Arch·

. diocese of' St. Paul-Mi nneapolis, urged eight changes in the Rea­gan tax plan now under consid­eration by Congress.

His recommendations include a fourth or even fifth. tax rate applied to' the rich; retention of a .credit for child care expenses; equal treatment of single-parent and two-paTent families; Ilmd other provisions for nonwealthy Americans.

He also said that while Catholic Charities had taken no position

.on the president's plan to elimin­ate the f.ederal tax deduction for state and local tax payments, it was concerned that the elimina­tion would hurt those !ltates and localities which have done most for the least fortunate.

"The poor represent some of the most vulnerable and power­less persons. in our country,"

Msgr. Boxleitner said in. pre­pared testimony. "Of all the jus­tice - or fairness - problems .in tax reform, none is more pressing than to give relief to the poor."

He linked the Catholic Chari­ties' position to the "distribu­tive justice" theory of Aristotle, who sugges'ted' that those ce­sponsible for the common good in society are obliged to propor­,tionatelydistribute for the com­mon good the benefits and bur­dens of maintaining that society.

Distributive justice means pro· gressive tax rates levied pro­portionately according to ability' to pay, Msgr. Boxleitner said..

The National Conference of Catholic Bishops, in'a 1977 state­ment, also backed' the progres­sive tax rate.

Msgr. .Boxleitner noted that "the president's proposal does offer significant tax relief to the poor."

"However," he added, "we would hope that the committee would not consider the president's bill the last word regarding these provisions. Our nation's poor have been treated' so unfairlY that we urge several further modifications."

7 Vatican aslis

Medjugorje visits halt

VATICAN CITY (NC) ..... The Vatican has asked that pilgrim­ages ito the Yugoslavian site of reported Marian apparitions be stopped pending completion of a study of the situation by local church authorities, a Vatican spokesman said June 20.

It was the first time the Vati­can had spoken publicly about the controversial situation in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia. The Vatican decision supports calls by local church authorities for a halt to pilgrimages.

The decision came in a letter to the Ita,lian bishops' conference from Archbishop Alberto Bo­vone, secretary of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Many Medjugorje pil­grimages origina'te in Italy, which borders Yugoslavia.

The letter does not take a position on the validity of the apparitions hut discourages pil­grimage until a Yugoslavian church commission completes in­vestigation of, the case.

The apparitions to six young people are said to have begun in a field outside the city in 1981 and later to have moved to a chapel in 5t. James Church in Medjugorje.

Shol't,ly after the reported ap­paritions began, Bishop Pavao Zanic of Mostar-Duvno, the dio­cese in which Medjugorje is iocated, appointed an dnvestiga­ting commission. In March 1984, the commission asked an end to the pilgrimages, saying the au­thenticity of the apparitions had r.ot been established.

The Yugoslavian Communist government also has opposed pil­grimages, saying local priests are using the situation to foment political opposition to the gov­ernment.

The case is a-lso controversial within the Yugoslavian hierarchy. Bishop Zanic has called the ap­paritions a case of "collective hallucination" which has been exploited by :Iocal Franciscan priests who want to assert "the authority of the Madonna" in 11

longstanding dispute with him over parish control.

Bishop Zanic said in February that he decided the vision reports were false when he :learned that some of the Madonna's alleged messages supported the priests who refused to relinquish parish control to him.

Supporting the validity of the visions has been Archbishop Frane I'ranic of 5plit-Makarska, Yugoslavia.

"Speaking as a believer and not as a bishop, my personal conviction is that the events at Medjugorje are of supernatural inspiration," the archbishop said last December. He said he based his conclusion on the "prayer, penitence and conversions" pro­duced by the apparitions.

DOROTHY FRANKS holds a picture of herself in 'front of the Statue of Liberty taken for Life magazine in 1956. (NC Photo)

She's related to 'The Lady" BOISE, Idaho (NC) - Seeing

the .Statue of Liberty brings a feeling like "some very special grace" to Dorothy Franks of Boise, a descendant of the sta­tue's sculptol.', 'Frederic Bart­holdi. .

Bartholdi was her great-great­grandfa,ther and his mother was the model for the face of the statue. Mrs. Frank's great-great­grandmother - Bartholdi's wife - was the model for the body, Mrs. Franks said. The copper statue, given to the United States in 1,884 by France as a goodwill gesture and erected in New York Harbor in 1886, is af­fectionately known as The Lady.

It is now being restored in pre2lration for its centennial, July 4, 1986. Funds for the $39 million project are being raised through a national campaign reminiscent of the 1884 drive that collected donations for the statue's pedestal, which cost $225,000.

The current undertaking wiU include replacement of the 1600 wrought iron bands that hold Liberty's copper skin to her frame and replacement of her torch. Installation of an elevator will offer an alternative Ito the narrow stairs that have been climbed by millions to reach The Lady's head and a spectacular view of New York Harbor and ,lower Manhattan.

"I have quite an emotional feeling about the statue," Mrs. Franks, a member of St. Mark Parish in Boise, told the Idaho Register, newspaper of the Boise Diocese. "I feel proud that I have a connection with it.

Until 1956, when Mrs. Franks was 32. and Ihing in Rock Springs, Wyo., she said she didn't think much ahout he connection with the Statue of Liberty. Her first husband was kHied dn Korea and she was busy raising their two daughters.

But the American Museum of

Immigra'tion was looking for a descendant of ,the artist to help raise funds to build a museum. at the base of the statue. Mrs. Franks went to New York, where she appeared on the old Gary Moore program with Douglas Fairbanks Jr., had her picture taken with the statue for Life magazine, and gathered informa­tion about her artist-ancestor.

"Bar-tholdi was two years old when his father died," Mrs. Franks said. "His mother kept her two boys really under her thumb. She was a very strong influence on the boys' lives;"

As a young man Bartholdi studied art in Egypt and was fascinated by the large sculp­tures there, she' said, and that is why he made the Statue of Liberty' so large. It is still one of the largest in the world ­standing 151 feet tall and weigh­ing 100 tons.

Mrs. Franks said her great­great-grandfather had a lot of respect for his mother and ad­mired her feathres. "He thought her face would be ideal for the statue," she said. "She was older, though, and he 'did not want to subject her to long sittings so he kept 100king for someone who could:be he model for the body."

Finally Bartholdi saw a wom­an at a friend's wedding, He liked the way she held her head and carried herself. He asked if she would be his model 'and she accepted, according to Mrs. Franks.

She said Bartholdi fell in love with the young model, who was a seamstress, but he was afraid to tell his mother for fear she would think a seamstress was not good enough for him.

While in the United States in 1876 making arrangements for the Statue of Liberty, Bartholdi scmt for Jean Emily and married her, Mrs. Franks said. Only then did he take her home to France to meet his mother.

Speaking June 22 at UMass Amherst at a rally sponsored by the Blue Army of Fatima, Mother Teresa said ,that God works through babies to show his love for humanity. "How frightening to think that :litt:1e lives are killed by their own mothers," she said.

In Toronto Mother Teresa told families and friends of Air India crash victims to keep "hearts clear from anger."

"We cannot understand why this happened," she told some 100 people at a prayer meeting. "But let us ask a special gift of God -. that we may keep our hearts clear from anger - be­cause _we need Ito forgive in times like this, so it doesn't de­stroy the joy and peace in our hearts.

Surinder Malik, India's consul general in Toronto, said Mother Teresa brought great solace to

the people he represents. "We're grateful to God that

today, in our crisis, we have the symbol of love and mercy, Mother Teresa, here to comfort us," he said.

Krishnarao Venkat'araman, sec­retary of ,the Hindu Temple So­ciety of Canada in Toronto, who said he knew about 50 of the pa.ssengers on ,fHght 182, said it was an eerie coincidence that Mother Teresa was in Toronto when the Canadian East Indian community needed her so des­perately.

"She brings compassion into all the community . . . She is accepted in India as a real saint," he said.

Several times throughout the day, Mother Teresa held private meetings with bereaved families of the disaster victims. She said he.r mind was "at home" with the people of India.

Earlier in the day, she intro­duced four sisters who will be­come street workers in the Park­dale area, a lakefront neighbor­hood where many of Toronto's homeless poor live.

The four sisters, who come from India,' Yugoslavia and France, will aid the poor on a one-to-one basis, but everyone can do his or her share to help, said Mother Teresa.

Death anniversary for Opus Dei head

NEW YORK (NC) - Cardinals Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago and Bernard f. Law of Boston were among U.S. bishops who officiated at memorial Masses mark­ing the 10th anniversary of the death of Msgr. Josemaria Escriva de BQlaguer, founder of Opus Dei.

Spanish-born Msgr. Escriva died June 26, 1975, at age 73. He founded Opus Dei in Madrid, Spain, iil1928, as an organization of laity committed to ~trong Chris­tian life and witness without giving up or4inary work, family life or social relations. Opus Dei is Latin for "God's work."

Today Opus Dei has more than 70,000 members representing more than 60 nationalities. About 1,200 are priests.

In 1982 Pope Joqn Paul II made the organization the church's only personal prelature. This status gives it great autonomy in governing its internal affairs, although its lay members are still subject to their local bishop and his approval is needed for Opus Dei to carryon any apo,~tolicactivities in a diocese.

Efforts to have Msgr. Escriva declared a saint began almost imme­diately after his death, and in 1981 the formal process of beatification and canonization began.

Says it's' risky to take Council

seriously NEW YORK (NC) - Members

of religious orders· have beco'me "dangerous" because they took the renewal directives of the Second Vatican Council more seriously than they were expected to, Sister Clare Fitzgerald told the recent National Assembly of Religious Brothers.

But she said that "we haven't become dangerous enough," and challenged the brothers to give their witness greater credibility by conforming their lives more closely to the Gospel.

Sister Fitzgerald, a Schoo,l Sis­ter of Notre Dame and a former president of the Leadership Con­ference of Women Religious who teaches in the graduate department of education at BoSton College, was the keynote speaker at the association's annual assembly at Manhattan College in New York. The college is ·operated by the Christian Brothers.

Sister Fitzgerald said Vatican II called on religious orders to read the Gospel, return to their original charisms and read the signs of the times.

"We did exactly as we were told," she said. Because the orders went back to the "radicalism" of their founders, she said; they will never be the same. "The tooth­paste will never go back in the tube".

Sister Fitzgerald described the post-Vatican II experience of reli­gious orders in terms of the Israel­ite exodus from Egypt and the subsequent Babylonian exile. Reli­gious, she said, were called to "leave the monuments and tem­ples of the past" and then to learn how to "sing the Lord's song in a strange land."

Religious have begun to change the forms of their lives, she said, and have undertaken new minis­tries of service to groups such as abused children, battered women, th.e divorced, new im~igrants, migrant workers, alcohohcs, drug addicts and the homeless.

She said the primary challenge to religious was to demonstrate in their own lives that the Gospel can be lived on Earth. "We have to be what we clailll> to be," she said.

Sister Fitzgerald praised the example of Brazilian bishops de­picted in a film she uses in her teaching. By making a commit­ment to lives of simplicity and ser­vice to the poor, she said, they be~ame the objects of persecution. The film ends, she said, with the words coming across the screen, "These men are dangerous."

Ifwe become credible," she said, "we will become a dangerous peo­

. pie, and governments and politi­cians will worry about us."

but its consecration that is the vital thing." - Martin Buber

Why I 'don't use computers" .'. By Antoinette Bosco

On a regular basis these days, I find myself explaining why I don't have or use'a computer. I probably should say I find myself apologiz­ing.

Suddenly it seems that profes­sionals of all sorts are supposed to have converted to computers.

Other writers tell me that by using their word process,or they have increased their speed by light years and their production of words by the tens of thousands.

As they talk, I can visualize this fury at a keyboard with words dancing on the screen and reams of paper pouring out of the printer.

People talk about the computer as if it really is the perfect clone for what used to be the thinking person.

Sometimes I question whether all this efficiency and speed has added an iota of quality to the written piece, or the functioning of an office.

There's a reason why I resist going computer for my professional work as an editor and writer. It'has to do with my deep-rooted lack of faith that we can reany keep machines under control.

In addition, I don't think a computer can really make my work easier. I've got my own style. I scribble all over a big, yellow pad. I still use a ball point pen for recording my thought processes in a very peculiar, personal shorthand. I never go. near a typewriter until my articles are diagnosed and drafted, corrected and completed.

I would be willing to take bets that my style of writing beats com­puter composing for speed - that my head is faster than my fingers.

Lately I find I'm not alone in questioning computers. A study done recently by the Omni Group Ltd., an international research and consulting firm based in Manhat­tan, reveals an undercurrent of negative feeling.

A survey of computer users re-' veals:

-25 percent said computers did not boost personal productivity

-13 percent said they didn't help in managing people

-10 percent said they wouldn't "help my secretary to help me."

I have to admit to feeling a kind of gleeful vindication that not all computer users show missionary zeal about their machines.

That doesn't take care of the ego problem which is evident in the way some of us blush a little when the computer advoc'ates pull out their trump card. "Do you realize," they say, "that computer literacy is essential today?"

Is it that essential to make friends with a computer, I wonder? Will the door to heaven be closed if I don't use a Lisa, Adam, Macin­tosh or some other?

Evidence ruling WASHINGTON (NC) - The

Supreme Court has expanded police power to crack down on so­called "adult" bookstores, ruling that police do not need a warrant to purchase, rather than seize, alle­gedly obscene books or magazines to use as evidence. The 7-to-2 deci­sion reversed a Maryland appeals

, court ruling and reinstated the 1981 conviction of Baxter Macon, a Maryland adult bookstore em­ployee, for distributing obscene material. Justice Sandra Day O'Con­nor, writing the majority opinion, said that police purchase of the magazines .did not amount to an illegal seizure.

I know a lot of people, like my mother and my boss, who aren't yet typewriter-literate. Somehow they've survived.

I keep remembering Hal in the movie "200 I" - the computer who outsmarted the humans. _ I say, hey, this business of being able to think, analyze and learn within a context of sensitivity is my territory. No machine is going to get the credit for improving on what comes out of me!

A computer may churn out cor­rected copy faster, but I'm not even sure I want to speed up my product. I like to doodle as I dwell over the thoughts I commit to print. It would look a little silly; wouldn't it, to doodle on a screen?

Well, that settles it. I've just made another fine case for compu­ter resistance.

Dear Editor: Both sides of the abortion issue

will agree that prior to .1973, the number of abortions in the U.S. annually was 100,000. The 1980 estimate is 1,500,000.

The conc.lusion one can draw is that should the abortion ruling be reversed one out of 15 people would still have an abortion.

Are we saying that because a piece of paper states an abortion is legal we can kiJI one another and feel that no wrong has been done?

I've heard statistics concerning surveys on this issue from both sides and would like to suggest one more be taken. Let's ask females who have been pregnant if they contemplated "Do you feel you made the right decision?"

Those who decided against abor­tion will not be able so easily to produce documents or legal refer­ences affirming they were right. But all the help needed can be pro­vided by the hug of one small child.

BP.-DESIGNATE CORRADA

Puerto Ricans = 87 STOWE ST., FALL RIVER, MA :'on cloud nine' WASHINGTON (NC) - Pope 5 678-8224 5

John Paul II has appoint~d Jesuit ,... Father Alvaro Corrada, 43, a = M. S. A G U I A R & SON :

~ ..Puerto Rican native and coordi­ ,~ nator of the Hispanic pastoral cen­ter in New York, auxiliary bishop of Washington, making him the 17th 'Hispanic bishop in the Uni­ted States.

Saying that most Hispanics in the Fall River diocese are Puerto Rican, Father Peter N. Graziano diocesan director of the Hispani~ Apostolate, said they "are on cloud nine" over the appointment.

Bishop-designate Corrada has been pastoral coordinator of the North,east Catholic Pastoral Cen­ter for Hispanics since 1982. He has also counseled Hispanic in­mates at Riker's Island Prison Center in New York and lectured at the Metrop-olitan Museum of Art in New York.

Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, he studied for the priesthood at Jesuit seminaries New York. He was ordained in Puerto Rico in 1974.

He holds a doctorate in theolog­ical science from the Institut Cath­olique in Paris, has taught and directed retreats in Puerto Rico and, taught high school in New York. .

One of 14 children, Bishop-desig­nate Corrada will be the first native Puerto Rican to serve a diocese in the continental United States. A brother, Baltasa, was formerly the resident representative of Puerto Rico in the U.S. Congress and is currently mayor of San Juan. Three sisters are in religious life.

It is expected that he will be ordained bishop.in mid-August in Washington, immediately prior to the third National Encuentro of Hispanic Catholics, scheduled from Aug. 15 to 18 in the capital city.

Cour~ victory ALBANY, N. Y. (NC) - A New

York state appeals court June 20 upheld the right of the Diocese of Albany to block efforts by Planned Parenthood clinics in Albany and Hudson, -N.Y., to provide abor­tions.

In a 3-to-1 decision, the court ordered the New York State Health Department to reconsider its appro­val for the abortion services, claim­ing that the health department used an invalid regulation in mak­ing its decision.

A lower court in January had d~termined that the health depart­ment erred in its decision to permit

Filipino Cardinal Sin: By Bill Pritchard

WASHINGTON (NC) - "Love without justice is baloney," said Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila, Philippines, pointingto justice and love as the only solutions to human rights abuses and conflict in his country. ,

The cardinal, a longtime critic of the government of Filipi'no Presi­dent Ferdinand Marcos, also asked

'the United States to send food, not, firearms, because "the weapons are being used to' kill the same ' Filipinos. " :.In a recent talk at the National

Press Club and in an interview with National Catholic News Ser­vice,.the ca~dinal focused on peace, justice and love: He said that iove is "the strongest and most practi­cal thing" and that he is "an incur­able believer in the power:oflove:"

The cardinal said it is "tragic that the children of man have so little experien~e" in' loving one another.

He interwove the themes oflove and" politics, saying that "justice without love is'socialism" and that "democnicy without justice is tyr~ anny. ,~, ,',','

He has criticized the Philippines miliiaryfor employing "delil?erate cruelty and senseless violence" against anti-government protestors.

The Philippines government is also engaged in a war with guer­rilla forces who call themselves the New Peoples Army. The guerrillas are generally believed to be commu­

'

nist-Ied, but the cardinal said not all members are communists.

He also said there are many Fil­ip~nos qualified tq succeed Mar­cos, but that he was not sure whether Imelda Marcos, the pres­ident's wife, was one of them. He said people question the integrity of the country's electoral process. , .Cardinal Sin said his role in the Philippines is to be a "prophet of denunciation and at'the sametime to be a minister of reconciliation."

Justice and love needed He said he has promoted anti­

Marcos demonstrations, which he calls the "parliament of the streets," to give Filipinos an avenue for democratic expression.

"There were occasions when (govemmentauthorities)werejust...kill­ing people" and there was "~o

other way to express a feeling of protest," he said.' '

The,cardinal said Filipinos would not quibble ,about the form their

,governmen~ takes "as long as hu­

man rights and' the Christian vision of man are protected."

He said he also promoted the protests "because I wanted the people to know tha,t the church is on their side."

But siding with the people does not mean embracing liberation the­ology, Cardinal Sin said. He said he believes that form of thought is the same assaying "violence is accepted. "

"MAY JESUS preserve you to sanctify the Chdstian people and,t~ offe~ sacrifice to G~d" says 'Bishop James H. MacDonald, CSC, of Cha~lottesville, Prince Edward Island, as he anoints the hands of Father James F. David, CSC,at recent ordination rites at Holy Cross Church, South Easton. Father David, aNew Bedford native and graduate of Holy Family High School'and Southeastern Massachusetts University, said a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Kilian's Church, New 'Bedford, on'June 23. He will serve at Most Holy Trinity parish, Saco, Maine.

God opens doors for Gh~ni.an

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (NC) Rose Mary Weobong believes God has opened doors for her in the United States so that she can ,learn to administer Catholic schools in her native Ghana.

In order to study in the United States, Mrs. Weogong, 36, left her husband and four sons, her teaching job and her country al­most three years ago. She is a master's degree candidate at Spalding University in louisville, which is run by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

When she returns to Ghana, Mrs. Weobong wHi become super­intendent' of 5,000 Catholic school children in a \ diocese covering hundreds of miles.

The job will be difficult, Mrs. Weobong said in an interview with The Record, newspaper of the LouisviUe Archdiocese, be­cause Ghana is 'a nation in unrest.

They include Servite Father Lawrence jenco, aiso of Illinois, a Joliet native who was director of Catholic Reliet Services .in ·Beirut when he was kidnapped 'last Jan. 8 by the Islamic Jihad.

Too often we do not appreci­ate those around us until death intervenes, Yet at any time we can' take the initiative to tell others how impor,tant they are to us, for instance, by saying "thanks."

Government ·scientists, experi­menting with artificial intelli­gence, develop a robot who is like a' boy in just about every way. Something goes awry, how­ever, and like Pinocchio, he be­comes a real boy with loving foster parents., But then some nasty higher-ups decide to put an end to the project and to him. Predictable story line but good acting. Moderately entertaining .fare even if too tame for adults. Save for a few ill·considered vul· gar expletives, it would have been suited to ~11 younger view­ers. A2"PG.

",Pale Rider" (Warners)': Clint Eastwood plays 'a mysterious stranger who .1:lelps a group of embattled miners in their struggle .with a brutal magnate deter­mined to run them out and take over their claIms,· In all essen­tials a remake of "Shane" made more palatable' to current taste with a bit of sex and much more violence. 0, R

"Prizzi's Honor'" (Fox): A mid­dleaged man falls in love with a beautiful and mysterious woman and she with him. It turns out they are both in the same line of work, which would :be nice or­dinarily, but since his line of work is killing people, it makes for complications once they're married. Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner star in this

. very black comedy, a kind of satire, of "The Godfather."

,Though done with great skill and flair, this very violent movie is not suited to r everybody's taste. It is extremely mature fare 'and has been classified A4; R. '

"Sam's Son" (Invietus): A Hollywood producer returns to his'hometown for a premiere and recalls' his 'loving father, who always had faith in him. Writer­director Michael Land'on's' first feature film is very sentimental end unabashedly uplifting enter­tainment and succeeds in large part because of some very good acting. A2, PG

"Secret . A~mirer" ,(Orlon): Anonymous love 'letters. sent by a girl to a boy who is her best

friend keep falling into the wrong hands, .including those of their respective 'parents, making for all sorts of complications in this inept teen-age comedy. Because of its benign view of teen-age drinking arid promiscuity and because of some harsh language and brief nudity, it has been classified O. R.
