Campaign of Prayer for Vocations

Draws Enthusiastic Response

BISHOP GRECO

Kof C SlatesAnnual Parley

NEW ORLEANS, La. - TheKnights of Columbus will paytribute to the priesthood duringthe 96th annual Supreme Coun­cil convention here, Aug. 15-17,by honoring Bishop Charles P.Greco, supreme chaplain, whohas marked a milestone of 60active years in the priestly min­istry.

Virgil C. Dechant, supremeknight of the 1.3 million-memberKnights of Columbus, 'announcedat the society's internationalheadquarters in New Haven,Conn., that Bishop Greco willbe the featured speaker at theconvention's States Dinner onTuesday evening, Aug. 15.

The convention will attractsome 2,000 delegates fromthroughout. the United States,Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico,the Philippines and Guatemala.Its agenda will emphasize pro-

• grams promoting family life andreligious vocations, said De­chant.

Commenting on the Church'scurrent vocation crisis, he point­ed out that the home is the"seedbed of voaations," and so,he continued, "our family lifeand vocations initiatives reallygo hand-in-hand."

"Interest in church-related ca­reers is there," he noted, refer­ring to a Supreme Council Vo­cations Program and offering in­formation on vocations that ranin 50 secular and 50 Catholiccollege newspapers. "More than500 young men and women re­sponded," he reported.

Another step taken in supportof religious vocations was thewaiving of membership require­ments to allow -priests, nuns,seminarians and postulants pre­paring themselves to the minis­try to participate in the K. of C.student-loan program.

atomic weapons and carcinogen­ic pesticides. He called the pro­cedure "ingenious" but said itraises important moral issues.

"One moral issue raised in thiscase concerns conception outsidethe womb," the bishop said."Christian morality has insistedon the importance of protect­ing the process by which hu­man life is transmitted. The factthat science now has the abilityto alter this process significantlydoes not mean that, morallyspeaking, it has the right to doso."

Some, like Archbishop Will­iam D. Borders of Baltimore,questioned "the moral schizo­phrenia that has a world re­joicing at the birth of one babyin England, while we abort hun­dreds of lives daily right here inMaryland." -

In Italian daily newspapers,two theologians gave negativejudgments on the morality ofsuch procedures. Father DionigiTettamanzi, in the Milan-basednational Catholic daily, Avven­ire, said that although Pope Piushad said means designed to fa­cilitate natural conception couldnot necessarily Ibe excluded, thetest tube baby technique wouldnot fit into the category of ac­ceptable aids.

In the Rome daily, II Tempo,Father Virgil Rotondi also con­demned the procedure, saying,"Although the intention of hav­ing a child is praiseworthy, themeans used to achieve it wanderfearfully from licitness . . . Tosum up: The end does not justifythe means."

Bishop Thomas C. Kelly, gen­eral secretary of the U.S. Cath­olic Conference, said the testtube conception of childrenstems from the same mentalityas that which gave the world

Condemned by several Cath­olic moral theologians, the pro­cedure leading to the birth in­volved the implantation of afertilized egg in the womb ofLesley Brown, an English wom­an who could not conceive nor­mally because of blocked· fal­lopian tubes. Doctors removedeggs from the woman's ovary,then achieved fertilization usingsperm from Mrs. Brown's hus­band Gilbert.

"U is not the conception of achild as nature intended, and Iam opposed to it," said BishopGerard McClean of Middles­borough, England, who said itfalls among actions covered byPope Pius XII's 1949 condem­nation of artificial insemination.

The annual diocesan Day ofPrayer for Vocations took onadded significance this year asBishop Daniel A. Cronin invitedCatholics to go beyond a singleday of prayer to a year longcommitment to intercession.

The program, Vigil for Voca­tions, was introduced the week­end of June 3 and 4, whenpledge cards explaining it weredistributed at all diocesanMasses.

Catholics were asked topledge one day monthly for ayear as a time of special prayerfor vocations. The bishop sug­gested that participants in theprogram try to attend Mass ontheir chosen day and spendsome time in prayer, offering itfor priestly and religious voca­tions. He also suggested offer­ing a rosary, a visit to theBlessed Sacrament or some actof charity for the intention ofvocations.

Prayer cards were distributedon the weekend of the annualday of Prayer for Vocations.Parishioners were asked to keepone half, containing a specialvocation prayer and messagefrom Bishop Cronin, and returnthe other half to their parish

CARDINAL HUME

Cardinal HumeAnd Anglicans

LONDON (NC) - CardinalGeorge Basil Hume of Westmin­ster has urged a careful newlook by Rome at Pope LeoXIII's 19th-century declarationthat Anglican orders are nulland void.

Hejilso said he thinks it isurgent for Anglican and RomanCatholic authorities to considerthe three agreed statements ­on the Eucharist, on ministryand ordination, and on author­ity - drawn up in recent yearsby the Anglican-Roman Cath­olic International Commission.

The cardinal made his com­ments in a long exclusive inter­view with Douglas Brown, for­mer religious affairs correspond­ent of the BBC, in the July 28issue of the Anglican weekly,Church Times.

Cardinal Hume pointed outthat the history and backgroundof the papal bull, "ApostolicaeCurae," in which Leo XIII con­demned Anglican orders, had tobe studied very carefully.

"I could not in practice dis­miss all Anglican orders as 'nulland void,'" he added, "becauseI kn{)W that a number of An­glican bishops have in fact hadthe presence at their ordinationof an Old Catholic or an Ortho­dox bishop - that is, somebodywho, in the traditional theologyof our church, has been ordain­ed according to a valid rite.

"As far as the Roman Cath­olic Church is concerned I thinkit needs to look carefuliy againat 'Apostolicae Curae' and itss~atus. We need to study it todIscover whether the historicalbackground upon which it wasworking and the argumentationupon which it was based is con­sonant with historical and theo­l~gica~ truth as theologians andhlstonans see it today."

"I really can't believe a cre­ative, loving God, who couldmake everything else so perfectcould get stuck with people,"John Kack told the HEC (Handi­capped Encounter Christ) parti­cipants at the Ursuline retreatcenter here. "He didn't make usall alike; he just might haveus different for a reason. O.K.- say I'm different. I'm unique.I'm good.

"Having been raised a strictMennonite," Kack oontinued, "Iknow the Bible and there's noplace where it says woe to himwho's in a wheelchair. But it'sup to us what we do with allthis."

Kack is a 37-year-old layman,sometime actor and a speechand language therapy teacherin the Westchester County Pub­lic Schools. He is also co-found­er and director of HEC.

The program began in theNew York area in April, 1974,and its newsletter now goes to1,500 persons. Similar retreatshave been held in the Philadel­phia, Washington and Tusconareas. The first Boston areaHEC took place this Spring atthe Campion Renewal Center inWeston. The first such retreatin the Chicago area is scheduledfor late. summer.

Kack is awed at the way hisgrassroots movement has mush­roomed. "All I did was try toprovide people whose physicalproblems prevented them frommaking an ordinary retreat withthe sort of profound spiritualexperience a retreat offers.

The thing is getting bigger andbigger. I don't know where it'sgoing. But I realize now thatGod had been shouting at mefor a long time."

The "shouting" goes back atleast to age 15, when Kackspent the first of nine summersworking at an Ohio camp forcrippled children as a counselor

This seems a bit too dexterousto expect from the Russian pol­icy planners. Dictatorships areseldom astute in handling theopposition. Power tends to cor­rupt and corrode whatever in­telligence dictators may possess.

world that followed the Shcha­ransky trial, yet he went aheadwith it.

Soviet Russia is a world ofcontrasting elements. The coun­try is run by a mixture of ide<f.­ogies parading under an exter­nally cohesive regime, but ifever there was a gap betweenpeople and government, it is inRussia.

However, the people avoid en­tanglements with the govern­ment. They attend meetings atwhich speakers condemn Sol­zhenitsyn's writings, but thenthey go home and listen to theVoice of America to find out thetruth. They are passionately sus­picious of propaganda and equal­ly passionate in their love ofEuropean and American culture.

Then there are the many dis­senters, in spite of the secret po­lice and the prospect of death inSiberia. Probably the best knownis Andrei Sakharov, Nobel Prizewinner and member of the pres­tigious Soviet Academy of Sci­ence. Barred from the court­room at the Shcharansky trial,he shouted to the police: "Youare not humans, you are fascists.Hear me, a member of the Acad­amy of Science - you arefascists." •

A writer in the (American)National Review, Keith Mano,recently attempted an explana­tion of the curious twist of So­viet policy in regard to dissent­ers. What Russia wants is tomuddle U.S. foreign policy, espe­cially as regards the OPEC na­tions, since the Soviet ambitionis to control the Persian Gulfand the flow of oil.

What they want to do is todrive a wedge between the Arabnations and the United States,

Recently on TV there was areplay of "The Night of theEmpty Chairs," the empty chairssignifying political prisoners anddissenters absent because ofdeath or imprisonment. Howmany dissidents have suddenlydisappeared in Russia via laborcamps, prison cells or execution?There is no way of knowing, forthe Soviets can allege that manyprisoners have died of "naturalcauses."

The American press has playedup the drama in the Shcharanskytrial, especially the plight of hisyoung wife, but emphasis on in­dividuals often tends to let usforget the colossal total of politi­cal prisoners in the Soviet Union.The conservative estimate is10,000 political prisoners in atotal prison population of morethan one million.

What baffles us is this: Whatis the Soviet rationale in punish­ing the finest minds in Russia?What do they hope to accom­plish and why choose a proced­ure that is obviously self-defeat­ing? Winston Churchill saidsomething years ago about So­viet Russia being a riddlewrapped in an enigma. TheShcharansky case demonstratesthat the riddle is more enigmaticthan ever.

The Inner Elite

An exercise in trivia, delightful for some, madd.eningfor others is an apt description of a book published thispast week titled "The Inner EEte; Dossiers of Papal Can~

didates." In a more than mood of prejudgment, the authorGary MacEoin, attempted to compile bibliographic mater­ial and information profiling each active member of thecollege of cardinals.

At best the book reflects a prejudiced pen, at worsta gossip glossary. Replete with historic and factual inac­curacies, it is totally one-sided i.n orientation. In this sense,it does not possess one shred of valid scholarship or intel·lectual credibility. As a standard by which to judge thEtotal process of papal selectivity, it is worthless.

If by this book the newly founded and much troublecCommittee for the Responsible Election of the Pope hopecto influence future papal conclaves in a spirit of positivE:reform, it has failed miserably.

However, despite its flaws, the book is a most enjoy··able narrative of ecclesiastical tidbits and "Verdian" asides.

It can also provide a few good laughs if you have <,sense of humor (although to judge by reactions of someother editors, it is more than obvious that we still havemany grim Catholics· in the A~nerican Church). The bookis jammed with much interesting information that Col·ona or Orsini would have given his right arm to havebeen privy to in the so-called good old days.

If the book does have any real va.lue, it can be foundin its unpremediated disclosures. For example, it is morethan disconcerting to discover that many venerable mem­bers of the Sacred College were ordained in their earlytwenties, returned immediately to graduate school andthen were absorbed into a diplomatic or curial role with­out spending any significant time in pastoral ministry.

Outside their own families, one wonders how oftensuch prelates have prepared people for baptism, how manymarriage rehearsals they have conducted, or how manyparishioners they have visited in the hospital.

The lack of in-depth ministerial service to the ordin­ary man on the third shift by the vast majority of the"papabili" is more than appalling.

Is administration and the red hat the only route tothe chair of Peter? If so, then it is about time the Churchgot back to the lake, the boat and the net!

Were this intended as the basic message of this book,the author should have expended his energies in formu­lating a constructive approach to the age-old problem ofelecting a Pope rather than in offering his readers a mereliberal panegyric.

He would have served the Church well had J:;esought to bring together thoughts of what today's worldis seeking in the next Holy Father rather than to ap­proach the subject from the viewpoint of a Hollywocdgossip columnist.

And, practically speaking, this book may have bemtoo hastily conceived. After all, Pope Paul could be an­other Leo XIII, in which case: "Inner Elite" was outdatedbefore it hit the bookstores.

Meaning of Mercy"Unless we learn the meaning

DAYTON, Ohio (NC) - Mil­lions of Catholics are "rediscov­ering" the rosary and placing itin the context of the post-Vati­can II renewal of Christian faithand commitment, according toDominican Father Frederick M.Jelly, a leading Marian theolo­gian, who says that whereverhe goes he witnesses increaseddevotion to the rosary.

"An awful lot of people to­day are being attracted to theMother of God through the ros­ary," he said.

A Dominican publication,"Light and Life," devoted ex­clusively to the rosary, is en­joying a brisk increase in sub­scriptions, he added.

The theologian said thatthose who have criticized therosary as a repititious prayerno longer in the mainstream ofCatholic life have bas'ed theirviews on "misconceptions."

"We see the rosary as a de­votion to Mary designed to leadto a deeper devotion to Christand to a firmer commitment tohis church," Father Jelly said.

The theologian also said thereis a "wonderful parallel" be­tween the mysteries of the ros­ary and the church's liturgicalyear.

"The joyful mysteries are re­lated to the Advent and Christ­mas cycle, the sorrowful to theLenten season and the gloriousto Easter and Pentecost," hesaid.

One does not pray the rosaryby reflecting over and over onevery word of the recited pray­ers. That would be a psycho­logical impossibility, accordingto Father Jelly. He added, how­ever, that certain words and

What Does Carter Have Against Catholics?Iy

REV.

ANDREW M.

GREELEY

L,/.,

WASHINGTON- The sit-uation for Catholics in thiscity is but one step short ofovert religious persecution.Neither the Catholic Church northe Catholic community in Am­erica seems capable of doinganything about it.

The various "equal employ­ment" and "fair employment"groups of this city will not pro­cess complaints about religiousdiscrimination. President Carterand HEW Secretary Califanoquite overtly appealed to anti­Catholic prejudice (under the

guise of constitutionality) todrum up opposition to a Pack­wood-Moynihan tuition tal'credit bilI (a bill which will bene­fit all parents who pay tuitionat any school level and not jUf;tCatholic parents). Mr. Califanoand Mr. Carter seem perfectlyat ease in repudiating both theDemocratic platform and cam­paign promises for help to Cath­olic schools.

Men and women are den:edmajor positions in the govern­ment purely on the grounds thatthey are Catholic; research pro­posals that deal with anythir.geven remotely Catholic aresummarily rejected w:th Iitt.eattempt made to hide the biasin such rejection; research cnCatholic schools is explicit yturned d,own on the grounds thatsuch research might tend to eel-

hance the image of Catholicschools; Catholics who do holdoffice in the administration(like Secretary Califano) are un­der constant pressure from theanti-Catholics who pervade theirbureaucracies to prove that theyare not influenced by theirCatholic viewpoint. (SecretaryCalifano prQudly boasts that hecan "enforce" laws which hebelieves are immoral.)

Meanwhile the Catholic hier­archy has been bamboozled in­to silence - afraid to denouncethe anti-Catholicism of the fed­eral bureaucracy, afraid to mob­ilize its own people to demandthat the administration fulfill itscampaign promises on Catholicschools, and afraid to demandthat Mr. Califano stop tellingfalsehoods about non-publicschools in tbe educational mes-

sages he writes for the president.(Despite the Califano-Carterclaim, there is not a single iotaof additional help for non-pub­lic schools in the new program.)

The hierarchy will stumble inits ill-involved abortion inter­vention in the presidential elec­tion. (On that issue, it did nothave the majority of its rankand file behind it - unlike theCatholic schools issue.) It hasbeen overawed by charges ofhierarchical "interference" and"violation" of the separation ofchurch and state. Every groupof Jewish religious leaders thatmeets in Washington goes to theWhite House to demand contin­ued support for Israel; but that'snot religious interference, not aviolation of the separation ofchurch and state. The Catholicbishops' . administrative board

meets in Washington and stealsoff quietly into the night afraidof the unfavorable publicitywhich would result if it dared I

make its views known to thepress.

Catholics need an intermediategroup of distinguished, articu­late laymen, priests, religious,and some bishops, which is in­dependent of the hierarchy butcan still speak effectively forthe Catholic community in thiscountry. There is no such group;there is not likely to be. The re­newed and ugly nativism whichpervades this city is likely torun its course. Catholics are thevictims, and it's their own faultbecause they have not learnedhow to defend themselves.

One good thing: I haven't seenany lions penned up in the sidestreets of Washington. Not yet.

CARSON

Psychologists say there isimmeasurable value in physi­cally touching others. I be­lieve it is even more impor­tant how we "touch" eachother when we speak.

When we talk to people wehave an effect that is just asreal as physically touchingthem. Our words, our gestures- most important, our tone ofvoice and expressions - make

a contact. Sometimes it's a slugin the jaw, sometimes it's asaloof as turning our heads theother way and walking by,sometimes it's as tender as ahug.

Think about how we gener­ally talk to people. When Vieare angry we mentaUy phra3eand re-phrase. "I'U teU him such­and such!" "I'U let him know athing or two!"

We put enormous effort intodesigning what we are going tosay. And when we finaUy getour opportunity, the adrenalinflows. We shout anci scream

. . . or our words may be de­liberately controUed . . . b.ltboth carry the same intent. 2)e­stroy the other.

When we are angry we workat reaching the other as force­fully as our command of thelanguage will allow. Our wordswound as deeply as if we slash­ed with a knife, thus the ex­pression, "the cutting remark."

To many, this is admirable.To destroy another verbally isan art. It's probably accepted asadmirable because it is less de­structive than physical. vio­lences.

Most of our talk has no emo­tion whatsoever. We say "Howare you?" with emptiness in ourvoices. Our children bringsomething to us, reaching out tous for praise, and we say "That'snice," conveying clearly that wedidn't look, don't care, anddon't want to be bothered. Our

husband or wife says, "Youknow what happened today?"and we ask "What?" with allthe enthusiasm of yesterday'sdishrag.

Just listen to people aroundyou. If you can be so honest,listen to yourself. Most talksays, ".J couldn't care less!"

Yet every time we speak wehave the opportunity of touch­ing someone. Our words can liftup just as if we offered ourhand in encouragement.

Our words have an impact onothers. They can hurt, they canignore, they can care. The samewords, according to how theyare said, can convey anyone ofthe three meanings.

Just observe how people say"Good morning." Some make

you feel you are in their way.By their tone they push youaside, dispose of you for theday. Others say "Good morning"perfunctorily, out of habit orduty. But some make you feelthey really care about the qual­ity of your day.

Physically touching others isimportant. It makes isolationvanish. But touching tenderlywhen we speak is deeper, forinstead of just the body, ittouches the spirit. With .ourwords, we can reach out in' af­fection to another's soul.

We could improve the lives ofothers enormously if we'd takethe effort we put into giving apiece of our mind and learn in­stead to give a piece of ourheart.

Catholics Are Split on Equal Rights AmendmentBy

JIM

CASTELLI

.It\Several legislators, under

pressure to vote one way orthe other on the EqualRights Amendment, havesaid, only half jokingly, "I'llvote for whoever doesn't yeU atme."

There are indications thatERA supporters, facing defeat,

Many pecple support the ERA,legal abort:on and homosexualrights and many people opposeall three; b'.lt many others sup­port one or two of the three and

these are the people who havebeen, for the most part, absentfrom the ERA debate.

For example, a number ofCatholic women have com­plained they feIt caught betweentwo extremes, shunned by somewomen's movement leaders be­cause they opposed abortion andby some right-to-lifers becausethey 'supported ERA.

Sister Maureen Kelleher ofNetwork notes that ERA andhomosexual rights are also sepa­rate issues; all the ERA woulddo, she says, would be to ensure

that legal treatment of femalehomosexuals would be no differ­ent froo;, legal treatment of malehomosexuals.

The bishops have supportedequal rights for women but haveexpressed concern about ERAimplications for abortion and thefamily.

All the World Needs a Creed •..CREED

Jesuit Father Richard McCor­mick of the Kennedy Institutefor the Study of Human Repro­duction and Bioethics cautionedthat the development of the testtube procedure "may seem likea small step, but we seem to betaking it without serious thoughtand study.

"Seems to me we're buyinga whole package, like donor in­semination or third party fer­tilization," he said. "Once weaccept that, what's to keep usfrom renting host wombs andfrom cloning?"

Noting that he had "gravemisgivings" about the test tubeprocedure, Cardinal Godon Grayof St. Andrews and Edinburgh,Scotland, said: "This is an entire­ly new situation and one onwhich no specific pronounce­ment has yet been made by thechurch. Such a pronouncementwill come only after the moraltheologians have made the mostexhaustive investigations intothe whole question."

Life: The Hand of God

Editor's NoteThe recent threat of a postal

strike may still become realityas wildcat actions continueacross the country. As a result,we have made contingencyplans, should mail delivery ofThe Anchor be halted.

In case of a strike, bundIes ofnewspapers would be deliveredto each parish and pastorswould be requested to informsubscribers that their copieswould be available at the churchentrance.

It is emphasized, of course,that this plan win be put intoeffect only if mailing becomesimpossible.

torist Father Bernard Haring'sview that the church is "still ina state of search" for answersto the ethical questions raisedby the birth. "This is quite diff­erent fro martificial inseminationwith the sperm of a donor. Thisis completely with the biologi­cal parents, and all the express­ions of' love in this case weredirected toward the desire forchildren," said Father Haring,author of "Medical Ethics andManipulation."

"The fact is that Pope Piusspoke against artificial insemina­tion. However, that is a longway back," he added. "Thechurch takes time to come topositions on these matters."

Bishop Mark Hurley of SantaRosa, Calif., chairman of theU.S. bishops' Hnman ValuesCommittee, discussed the newtechnology in a pastoral letterread at all Masses June 30, andconcluded: "The church, then,must seek moral judgments onthese complex and precariousapplications of technology. Theycannot be solved simply by ap­pealing to the good intentionsof either scientists or doctors orthe people involved."

The birth also brought a flur­ry of warnings from Catholics inthe United States and abroad.

Test Tube Baby.: Questions For The f'uture

A third group, however,seemed to agree with Redemp-

of "comprehensiveness" ofaccepting a wide range of beliefand practice within the Angli­can Communion.

".comprehensiveness has beenseen by the Anglican Church asa matter for pride," he said. "Iwonder whether it is not itsAchilles heel - leaving the restof us asking: What does the An­glican Church, as a church, holdto be essential?"

He said he felt sure that thisfailure stems from the fact thatthe Anglican communion has nocentral governing body.

Asked whether he thought theReformation had produced twoirreconcilable types of religionand whether we could reverse400 years of history, CardinalHume said, "We can if churchleaders - by which in this con­text I mean bishops - be veryhonest with each other and pur­sue the truth quite relentlessly,and go wherever that searchtakes us.

"We need humility to do it.We have also to carry with usthose for whom we are respon­sible. That might be more diffi­cult."

Continued from Page Onesaid the birth "confirms our be­lief that a human life amend­ment is absolutely necessary tosafeguard all human life fromthe moment of fertilization,whether within a mother's bodyor within a test tube.

The group especially con­demned the fact that in the testtube process, several eggs arefertilized and all but one laterdestroyed. "Such thoughtlessdestruction of preborn humanlife is appalling and chilling inits far-reaching implication,"the group said.

Before the birth, Dr. AndreHellegers of Georgetown Uni­versity's Kennedy Institute forthe Study of Human Reproduc­tion and Biothics said CatholicChurch opposition to artificialinsemination would mean itwould oppose the developmentof a test tube baby since bothprocedures "divorce intercoursefrom procreation."

Others saw fewer moral prob­lems in the birth of Louise'Brown. "Offhand, I don't seeanything wrong with childlesscouples using the test tube met­hod if there is no other possibleway for them to have babies,"said Bishop Cornelius Lucey ofCork, Ireland.

Auxiliary Bishop AugustineHarris of Liverpool, England,said he would tell couples seek­ing moral guidance on the issueto ask themselves three ques­tions - whether it was withinthe context of marriage; whetherit was Ibecause they loved eachother and would love this child;and whether the science invol­ved dominated and fascinatedthem or whether it was support­ing them in a natural act.

"These are important ques­tions," Bishop Harris said. Hesaid he would tell the hypo­thetical couple, "If you say yesto them, then I would say: 'Goahead.' "

Continued from Page Oneeral churches in the AnglicanCommunion and has been ac­cepted at least in principlethough not in practice in someothers - Cardinal Hume saidhis fear was that if the Angli­can proceeded on this it woulddivide itself.

"I think this could hinder thedialogue with ourselves," he said."Quite how it would affect ourattitudes I find it much moredifficult to say. My own privateview would be that, in the shortterm, I fear that our dialoguewould suffer. About the longterm consequences I would beless certain."

The interview was publishedas the Lambeth Conference, athree-week meeting of theworld's Anglican bishops, wasin progress. One of the main is­sues facing the conference is theordination of women.

Cardinal Hume said he hopedthat the conference would notcome out in favor of womenpriests. "On such an importantmatter as this I think it wouldbe a very great pity if onechurch were to go ahead withoutconsultation and encouragementfrom other churches - thatmeans not only with the RomanCatholic Church but also, mostimportantly, with the Orthodoxchurches.

AIl the churches have to bemore sensitive to one another,he said: "The different commun­ions have to behave in relationto each other today as eachlocal church has to behave inrelation to other local churches."

Cardinal Hume said he re­garded the apparent challengingby some Anglican clergymen ofsuch central Christian doctrinesas the Incarnation and Resur­rection as "a very serious ob­stacle to being a Christian."

"And from that I would agreethat it is very difficult," hesaid, "to Ibe united at any depthwith persons who would denythe Incarnation and would notaccept the Resurrection . . .Whether the Resurrection wasphysical, or whether there issome other legitimate expressionof that reality, is a questionwhich, in the first instance, Iwould leave to the scholars todebate and then for the churchto decide at a later stage."

He said he would find it diffi­cult to pinpoint the main doc­trinal difference between theAnglican and Roman Catholicchurches, but said he was un­easy about the Anglican quality

'No Problem'

Above their garage the No­gueiras have nailed a quarter­board with the motto "No Prob­lem." They said it was thewatchword of youthful FatherThomas F. McMorrow of OurLady of Victory, who died lastyear after a long illness and whohad endeared himself to parish­ioners with his courage andcheerfulness. "No matter howtough things were for him, he'dsay 'No problem,'" recountedMrs. Nogueira.

The words have become thefamily motto and could applyequally to the MaIloys and 15other diocesan families withhusbands in the candidates' classas all pursue the goal of ordina­tion, learning as they go howto mesh it with family and pro­fessional obligations.

"In one case, a parish priestbabysat so the wife could getthere," she reported.

Also enthusiastic about thediaconal program is petite Yv­onne Malloy of St. Pius X par­ish, South Yarmouth.

"I have no special feelings onwomen permanent deacons,"she said. "If my husband's in­volved in ministry, I think Iwould be too, anyway. In anycase, I wouldn't want to be adeacon· while I have youngchildren."

Like Mrs. Nogueira, shetermed the Fall River diaconalprogram "a beautiful experi­ence" and commented on thecommunity among participants.

"I think it's a great thing forthe families," she said.

When her husband John firstconsidered the program, thefamily talked it out, said Mrs.Malloy, and agreed on his par­ticipation. "He's a -high schoolteacher of psychology and they'reused to seeing him handling pa­pers and studying all the time,anyway, so the study part didn'tbother them."

The couple had been involvedin Cursillo activities, but foundthey had to "slow down" in thatarea, she related. Also, shemade the decision to attend thediaconal classes only one nighta week, in order to give moretime to their eight children,

pect to minister as a team fol­lowing his diaconal ordination."We have worked in CYO to­gether and we visit nursinghomes together. We will hopeto continue visiting the elderlyand sick when Ben is a deacon."

In general, Mrs. Nogueira feelsthe diaconate program has en­riched life for her family, al­though she admits that sacri­fices have been entailed and thaton some winter nights when it's

time to start the off-Cape jour­ney to classes at Bishop StangHigh School in North Dartmouth,she and her husband have tosay firmly, "God, it's for you- we're coming."

She spoke glowingly of thegroup spirit and opennessamong the candidates and theirwives and said that despite dif­ficulties most wives have man­aged to attend most classes.

In some parts of the nationunexpected problems have sur­f~ced with wives of men aspir­ing to the permanent diaconate.There has been resentment oftime taken from family activi­ties, a feeling of being shut outof a new and important part ofthe husband and father's life.

Not so in the Fall River dio­cesan program, according to thewives of two diaconal candidatesfrom Cape Cod, who say thattogetherness is huilt into thethree-year course, with men andthejr wives attending classesand social and most spiritual ac­tivities as a couple.

Neither is especially interest­ed in the diaconate for herself,an issue, again, that has sur­faced in other areas.

Outgoing Lois Nogueira,mother of seven, from 7-year­old Marcie to 16-year-old Steve,and a member of Our Lady ofVictory parish, Centerville,opined, "I think women aremore emotional than men andcouldn't handle the diaconatethe way men do, but we mustsupport them.

"For myself, I don't know ifI could do it. Wives have fullresponsibility for children andmen have more time to doother things."

She said, however, that sheand her husband Benjamin ex-

--in" for a weekend while theother parents enjoy a two-daymini-vacation.

Joint vacations are a way forfamilies to get to know eachother. Traveling with other fami­lies establishes ties.

Overnights are always popu­lar with children. Having afriend over is a good way to getto know someone. The family it­self provides the setting.

Sometimes children, particu­larly teens, need to get awayfrom their own family for a dayor two while a crisis cools down.What better place for "time out"than with another family.

The third level of family ex­pansion involves day-to-day life.Provide activities that keepfamily members around and en­courage guests.

A convertible ping pong-pooltable is quite a magnet. There isusually a line waiting to play.If you let older teens have abeer or two while playing pool,they don't have to resort todrinking in a car on a ibackroad.

Table games are popular withmany ages. Try pinochle, hearts,el~ctric football, Clue or theperennial favorite, Monopoly.While you are at it, spread outa I,OOO-piece jigsaw puzzle onanother table.

The family needs commontasks to pull together. I havesuggested three levels of familyexpansion. If families are to bestrong and vital they need toreach out.

Students make good familyadditions. They can assist withchores, babysit, and be lots offun for the youngsters. In re­turn, the family gives themfood, shelter and love.

Short-term arrangements em­phasize family life and personalrelationships but are not quiteso obligating. These too arepart of the expanding family.

Pitch-in suppers are a fineway for families to share inmeal preparation and eat to­gether. They can be weekly ormonthly. The host family pro­vides the meat and assigns theother parts of the meal.

•,The Family Reaches Out

Five Hour Vigil

By Dr. Jim and Mary Kenny

The family needs to expand.Our modern family has becometoo small. At the same time ithas lost many of its importantfunctions such as education ofthe young and care of the sickand the elderly. Common vitaltasks have a way of pullingfamily members together.

I'd like to suggest three levelsof possible expansion for fami­lies. While they demand differ­ent levels of commitment, allinvolve a common task for thefamily, reaching out to otherpersons.

The first level of expansion ispermanent. Adoption and fostercare are wonderful ways forfamilies to reach out. Recallwhat Christ said about caringfor the homeless.

Almost every state has a list­ing of hard-to-place childrenavailable for adoption. Theseare children who have a physi­calor mental handicap, are ofmixed race or belong to a sib­ling group which needs to staytogether.

Foster homes are' alwaysneeded, not just for abused chil­dren and pre-delinquents, butfor gentle mental patients ontheir way back to society andfor the aged on their way hometo God. Ex-convicts need homesas they re-enter society.

Seminarians are sent for in­ternships into a parish. Whynot into a family? Bachelor"uncles" and "aunts" and hon-

A five hour First Friday vigilof reparation to the SacredHearts of Jesus and Mary willbe held from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m.tomorrow at St. Mary's Church,Fairhaven, beginning with a vo­tive Mass of the Sacred Heartand concluding with a votiveMass of the Immaculate Heart.Other devotions will be con­ducted during the evening andthere will be a coffee break at10 p.m. All are invited to attendall or any part of the vigil.

Her answer, she said, cameout of Christian hope but notwithout rational grounds.

For one thing, she said, theseconcerns are being noticed forthe first time: It is only 45years since Rachel Carson'sbook, "Silent Spring," and sci­ence is telling us the truth aboutour vulnerability and interde­pendance.

In addition, she said, much ofour new science is beginning tocome up' with wholly new an­swers, as with the present re­search into solar power whichfollowed from $1 to $14 a bar­rel. She predicted that in thenext 10 to 15 years solar powerwill give the world's sun belta boost for creation of safehealth comparable to that pro­vided by the use of steam in thenorthern hemisphere during theIndustrial Revolution.

Proper use of know-how andresources will give us "not anunscientific society but a societywhich recognizes fragility,which recognizes interdepend­ence, which see the planet as anorganic whole, and which cantherefore be made into a human,surviving society and one inwhich we do not pass on toour children as our biggest in­heritance millions upon millionsof grams of absolute toxicwaste (from nuclear energy),she said.

tion of enslavement, colonialismand imperialism "an absolutelyfantastic change from the past."

At the same time she notedthe acceleration of populationgrowth and the new awarenessof how limited are the world'sresources of energy and rawmaterials. The resulting debate,which did not exist 15 years ago,is the great agenda for the 1970sand 1980s, she said.

"Upon our ability," she said,"to take this contradiction andto find our way through it inhuman and in moral terms de­pends, I believe, the survival ofthe planet, because - mark mywords - there will be no stop­ping the demand for equality,there will be no check on thedemand for civil respect, therewill be no quiet acceptance ofmassive starvation.

"We live on an absolutely in­terdependent planet, and we areeither going to make a jointcommunity which works at this,or the bright day is gone andtherefore the dark."

Miss Ward noted the contrast­ing views of optimists who thinkthat science will come up withthe answers in the form of moreand better technology and pessi­mists who stress the damagealready done, and she cited thecomplete failure to change thebalance in the distribution ofworld wealth, the foot-draggingby wealthy nations on this issue,the estimated 17 million unem­ployed in the developed worldalone, and the estimated $400billion spent by the world eachyear on armaments.

"Should we despair?" sheasked. "Is this the answer? Arewe reaching that point of noreturn when the world will, as

CANTERBURY, England (NC)- The difficulties being facedby modern society make people"much more open and favorable"to the Gospel message than theyhave been for the past threecenturies, a British Catholiceconomist, Barbara Ward (LadyJackson), told more than 400Anglican bishops as they gather­ed for their first world meetingin a decade.

Miss Ward, an internationallyrecognized expert on questionsof development and the environ­ment, was addressing the 11thLambeth Conference on its firstfull day, giving one of twospecial lectures designed to set.the scene for the bishops' de­liberations.

She set out a context that in­cluded a somber warning, butalso a note of hope.

We are living, she said, at theend of a period in which morehas been wasted and tbrownaway than in the whole of hu­man history. But, she added,awareness of this has contribu­ted to a change of ideas perhapscomparable to the Renaissance.

"I would like to suggest thatin many ways the preoccupa­tions, the puzzles, the difficul­ties which people are experi­encing ... are mucb more openand favorable to the message ofthe Gospel than the 300 yearsof extreme human confidencewhich went before," sbe said.

KNOW YO·UR FAITHNC NEWS

By Father John J. Castelot

John Joseph Hughes was oneof the fighting Irish in an agewhen the church needed notonly staunch defenders butmilitant protagonists.

One of seven children in astruggling farm family in Ire­land, he came to the UnitedStates in 1816 at the age of 19.With his family he settled inChambersburg, Pa.

Young John worked at a vari­ety of jobs, including that ofgardener. This occupation servedhim well, for when he appliedrepeatedly to Mt. St. Mary'sSeminary in Emmitsburg, Md.,only to be turned down becauseof lack of room, he was hired asa gardener. A year later FatherJohn Dubois (later bishop ofNew York) accepted him as aseminarian and he was ordainedfor the Philadelphia diocese in1826.

These were hectic days in thediocese, with the cathedraltrustees battling Bishop HenryConwell, and the new priest sawthe evils of the system at closerange. They came into evensharper focus when he was ap­pointed pastor of St. Mary'sCathedral and the trustees re­fused to pay his salary.

An excellent pastor, he be­came even more prominent asa result of his preaching andwriting. He openly combated thebitter anti-Catholicism of thetimes and to further his campaignfounded a newspaper, The Cath­olic Herald, and the CatholicTract Society, which turned outpamphlets for free distribution.

He startled the church's ad­versaries, who had hitherto goneunchallenged, and he boostedthe sagging morale of the op­pressed Catholic population.

In January, 1838, Hughes wasappointed coadjutor, with rightof succession, of New York.That same month, Bishop JohnDubois suffered a stroke. Res­ponsibility for the diocese de­volved upon Hughes, who wasnamed apostolic administrator inAugust 1839 and succeeded tothe See on Dec. 20, 1842.

His diocese comprised NewYork State and half of NewJersey, almost 55,000 squaremiles. To serve 200,000 Cath­olics, there were just 22churches. There was one reli­gious community, the Sisters ofCharity of Emmitsburg; allseven parochial schools were inNew York City, together withtwo of the four orphanages.And he had a staggering $300,000 debt.

To aggravate his headaches,the cathedral trustees chal­lenged his authority in Febru­ary 1839. He reacted promptlyand firmly. He wrote a pastoralletter and had Bishop Duboissign it, threatening to ,put allthe parishioners under an inter-

The Illegal Alien Problem

1776 CatholicsBy Father Alfred McBride

Never forget that America of1776 was a Protestant America.The ideal of freedom of religion,born in Roger Williams' Provi­dence Plantations, nourished byimmigration and economic fac­tors and confirmed by the GreatAwakening of the 1740s, was afreedom for Protestants, not toany great extent for Catholics.

Even in Maryland, supposedto be the Catholic colony, Cath­olics were forbidden to worshipin public and were excludedfrom voting or holding publicoffice as late as 1775. Even inthe benign domain of WilliamPenn, Catholics were not securein freedom of religion.

In all fairness it must be saidthat William Penn did grantfreedom of public worship toPennsylvania Catholics, but theproblem of tolerating Catholicsin actuality rested with thewhims of the English Crown.

Catholics began to see thattheir religious freedom wouldultimately be tied to an inde­pendent America. They felt thatthey might as well throw theirlot with the Protestant colonistsand work out the details later.

Other reasons moved Ameri­can Catholic colonists to favor arevolution. The organization ofthe church in the colonies washaphazard and chaotic. In 1776there were only about 25 priestsaltogether in the colonies. Manywere Jesuits, whose order hadjust been suppressed in Europe.Thus they could not lookabroad for any leadership. More­over the Catholic bishop of Lon­don, charged with oveseeing theCatholic life of the colonies, wasso far away that he was in prac­tice of no help.

The church of the coloniesneeded organization, leadership,its own bishop. Hence the 25priests were very much for in­dependence as were many of theCatholic people.

Hence, Catholic colonistsjoined Protestants in urgingarmed revolt because they hadvested religious interests as wellas the vested economic and poli­tical hopes of the rest of thepopulation. And when war came,the Catholics were there, readyand willing to fight.

Stephen Noylan served asaide-de-camp to George Wash­ington. Commodore John Barryfunctioned prominently in navaloperations. St. Mary's county ofMaryland provided the famedMaryland Old Line contingentthat helped Washington staveoff the surrender of New Yorkand stood in defense of Boston.

This Catholic patriotismhelped soften ingrained Protes­tant· prejudice to some extent.At the same time, Catholics hadto endure the ignominy of hear­ings and bigoted outcries fromNew England and in Philadel­phia's hallowed Carpenter's Hall

By Msgr. George G. Higgins

For several years Congresshas been debating what to doabout stemming the flow of il­legal immigrants into the UnitedStates. So far no laws have beenpassed on this probIem, andsince we know so little aboutits causes and effects, tlla':'sjust as well.

We do not know, for exam­ple, how many illegal aliens arein the country, although esti­mates range from four to 12million. Furthermore, we knewlittle about the impact of illegalimmigrants on our economy.

At least four government a;ldprivate research agencies arestudying this problem. Theirfindings wHI probably be avail­able in late 1978 or early 19i"9.Between now and then Congressshould, and probably will, delayaction on the admin:stration'slegislative program incorporat3din Senate Bill 2252.

To suggest delay is not to re­ject that program, nor is it tosuggest that there is any alter­nate sure-fire solution. As theWashington Star put it somemonths ago. "A flawless for­mula would be irreproachablyhumane to the people affected,would stop the massive flow ofunlawful entrants to the countryand would avoid any curtail­ment or threat to American l:b­erty. There is no way to mEetthese requirements in full si:n­ultaneollsly."

The Star's point is well taken,as the obvious weaknesses inthe administration's omnibusbill clearly indicate. This billwould:

Notre Dame FirstIn Gifts Too

WASHINGTON (NC) - TheUniversity of Notre Dame re­ceived a larger amount of giftsand bequests in the 1976-77school year than any other Cath­olic college or university, ac­cording to The Chronicle ofHigher Education.

The journal, published inWashington, said Notre Damereceived $12,796,000 in 1976-77.The Indiana school was ranked20th among all American insti­tutions of higher education.

Harvard University, with$74,955,000 in gifts and be­quests, led all colleges and uni­versities, with Stanford Uni­versity ($56,049,000) second.Other Catholic universitiesranking among the leaders wereLoyola University, Chicago(28th, with $8,891,000) andGeorgetown University (29th,with $7,912,000).

The Chronicle of Higher Edu­cation also published separatelists of the top 21 "smaller"colleges and universities and thetop nine women's colleges. Onthe first list, College of the HolyCross in Worcester, Mass.,ranked 14th, with nearly $2 mil­lion in gifts and bequest. On thesecond, Trinity College in Wash­ington was ninth, receiving$648,000.

one Protestant church, one syn­agogue and six Orthodoxchurches. He found the Catholicchurch locked and visitors couldsee the church only through ironbars. There wa!; no way to lo­cate a priest or find a scheduleof Masses.

"We did see in the vestibule alarge marble statue of Our Ladyof Fatima. We said some prayersfor Ii few minutes and left,"Msgr. Louis said. Later he foundan Orthodox church packed withworshippers.

There were young, middle­aged and elderly, according toMsgr. Louis.

Msgr. Louis also visited a syn­agogue where he found about20 leaders of the Jewish com­munity meeting.

"The people in the area ofthe synagogue were so poor theystarted begging from us. Thevisitors were told the synagoguewas on the verge of extinction,"Msgr. Louis said. He laterlearned from reports given bypeople of the Ukraine that Jewsare the victims of daily discrim­ination.

"Jews can't even grow a to­mato plant," he said, it will besurreptitiously broken off beforeit matures.

Msgr. Louis said he believesthe average Russian is not con­tent with his situation. One musthave a passport to visit a cityother than his own and it is al­most impossible to change jobs.

Although personal contactsbetween foreigners and Sovietcitizens are not approved, Msgr.Louis was able to strike up afriendship with three Russians.

"I found them all disconten­ted," he said.

LeninFor Russian

Teacher ChainedIn Pro-Life Act'

PITTSBURGH (NC) - A 28­year-Old teacher at a PittsburghCatholic school promised hewould be back after police cutthe chains by which he hadbound himself to the doors of aPlanned Parenthood abortionclinic.

Jim McInerney made thepromise after police declined toarrest him for chaining himselfto the doors and blocking ad­mission.

Supporters of his action dem­onstrated outside the clinic,greeting staffers with "awardcertificates" for their roles in327 abortions performed at thefacility in 1977.

When they cut him loose, po­lice warned Mcinerney not toreturn. But he said, "I'll be back."

One of the demontrators, Rev.Michael Isbell of the SquirrelHill Christian Church of Pitts­burgh said: "Such acts of civildisobedience will become in­creasingly necessary if we are toconfront the uncivil obedience ofthese death vendors."

DAYTON, Ohio (NC) - Thecult of Lenin is the new religionof the Soviet Union, but it mightlead to a return of true religion,according to Msgr. Paul Louis,university of Dayton economist,who recently returned fromRussia.

He reported seeing signs ofLenin's "deification" wherever~e went in Russia. At Lenin'sbirthplace in Ulyanovsk, thepriest saw 100 newly marriedcouples encircling Lenin's sta­tue, offering flowers and recit­ing some words.

As he entered Lenin's homewith other tourists, the requestwas made that visitors removeovercoats and hats and put on"overshoes."

"The guide spoke in a hushedvoice," according to Msgr. Louis."Most of the time, we were justsupposed to gaze and meditate.Every step in the building wasa devotion rite."

In the USSR Lenin's picture,statue or symbolic etching isvisible everywhere, he said. "AtLenin's tomb in Red Square inMoscow, there is that same si­lent reverence as thousands filepast the wax figure of the Com­munist 'god'."

Witnessing what he called a"godless society moving into theworship of a created being,"Msgr. Louis said he see signs ofhope even in this misplaced rev­erence.

"History shows that idolatryhas paved the way for the ad­vent of true religion," he said."The cult of the dead Commun­ist leader at least manifests thatthere is a yearning to place faithand devotion in something ex­ternal. The Russians' desire toexternalize a pseudo- religiousfaith could eventually lead themto the glorious dawn of truefaith."

At his first stop in Leningrad,Msgr. Louis found there wasone Catholic Church in the city,

U.S. presidents, Catholic bishops,and a host of groups to bringhis knowledge and ability tohear on labor disputes and vari­ous issues requiring politicalskill.

He is eloquent, affable, forth­right and possessed of a keengrasp of history and the church'srole in present-day affairs.

Msgr. Higgins gave an insightinto his philosophy in a 1976address on "The U.S. CatholicChurch and the Public Order"at the Bavarian Catholic Acad­emy in Munich, West Germany.

"Today," Msgr. Higgins said,"Catholics have gone far be­yond the point of explaining thattheir religion does not conflictwith Americanism and far be­yond the point of simply defend­ing the Catholic faith and therights of the church in the pub­lic order." He added that, whileAmerican Catholicism generallyhas felt fully at home in theU.S. political environment, thechurch today "is fully preparedto dissent, not from the Ameri­can political system as such,but, when necessary, from theprevailing political ethos andfrom specific governmental pro­grams in the field of public 'poli­cy."

In 1970, Msgr. Higgins playeda major role in mediating thedispute between the UnitedFarm Workers Organizing Com­mittee and the growers in De­lano, Calif. Late in 1977 he wasan adviser at the Belgrade Con­ference on European securityand cooperation.

tion was secularized, and theparochial school system came'into existence.

In 1844 violence erupted inPhiladelphia - widespread riot­ing and the burring of severalCatholic churches. Hughes mobi­lized this people' to defend theirchurches, but forbade them tooffer provocation to hostileforces. His forthright handlingof this explosive situation,coupled with his courageousstand on education, won himnational attention and respect.

New York was made an arch­diocese and Hughes was namedits first archbishop on July 19,1850.

On Jan. 3, 1864, ArchbishopHughes died, bequeathing to hisarchdiocese and the church inthe United States a secure andproud heritage.

Hence, Catholics knew theywere taking a risk in backingthe revolution. They might betrading the repressive EnglishCrown for the equally bigotedAmerican governmental policy.They placed their hopes instates' rights. The state consti­tutions of Maryland and Penn­sylvania would almost certainlygrant them religious freedom.Thus New England could not in­terfere. They were heartened bythe strong public backing ofGeorge Washington.

It was, however, their cour­ageous witness in the war thathelped turn back the forces ofbigotry. As John Carroll put it,"Their blood flowed as freelyin proportion to their numbersto ceIllent the fabric of indepen­dence as that of any of theirfellow citizens." Their couragewas rewarded. Maryland andPennsylvania granted religiousfreedont to Catholics and theBill of Rights put everyone onthe same footing.

He read the letter at a meetingwhich he convoked and con­ducted. That ended the trusteeproblem in New York, exceptfor one parish in Buffalo, wherethe trustees hung on for years.

In 1839 Hughes locked hornswith the privately organizedPublic School Society, whichpractically monopolized publicfunds for education in NewYork City from 1825 to 1840.It claimed to be non-sectarian,but actually promoted offensiveanti-Catholic teaching.

The situation might not havebeen so crucial had the publicschools been religiously neutral.But they were not. Catholicsargued that if public funds couldbe used for anti-Catholic educa­tion, they could and should beused also for denominationalschools. Gov. William Sewardagreed, but the city and statelegislatures were antagonistic.As a result of the controversy,the Public School Society wasdissolved, public school educa-

Whirling and shirUng through life's outer circlesWe're moving alongYearning and burning for love and affectionPretending we're strongAnd the only thing we all need is wrapped up insideWhy is it always that love is the one thing we hideDreaming and breathing alone in the darkness, awaiting the lightAnd concealing the feeling of helpless surrounding alone in

the nightAnd it's all along we goThere are strangers all aroundAfraid to make a friendAfraid that it will end up in pieces on the groundThough we're lonely, we're so lonelyAll of a sudden the one you've awaited is call1ng your nameAnd the hours spent wondering and waiting for someoneJust won't be the sameAnd the only thing that you both need is wrapped up insideWhy is it always that love is the one thing we hide

Written by Dan Seals, Sung by England Dan and John Ford Coley,

(c) 1977. Dawnbreaker Music Co., Gold Zinc Music

Questions that flow from this song's message are: Whatkeeps us from being a loving person? What encourages us tochoose the safety of hiding our love rather than risking sharingit? These questions have been asked many times and books havebeen written in response. This shows that the answers given arenever completely satisfactory.

At one state of life, the questions reflect our need to furtherunderstand the act of receiving love. In the words of the song, wemove along life's outer circles wanting to be loved, hut not sureif we can.

We are looking to discover the "inner person," nat definedby exteriors, achievements of recognition, but innately formed tothe image of God's life and love. Once we glimpse the goodness ofour inner person, other questions evolve and the next questionpresents another sense of love's meaning: Is loving worth it? Inlooking outward to the other people, we discover different responsesto our loving. If our loving is rejected, this can shake our innerconviction that we are lovable.

Love seems to cost more than we realized. If our lovingmeans only good feelings, then its worth will surely fluctuate,just as our feelings about loving will go up and down. Yet thequestions grow in importance for they bring us to personal con­viction and commitment. Once we face the pain and brokennessthat loving can sometimes bring, but still affirm love's life-givinghopefulness, we discover the questions are changing once more.

STUDENT RELAXES at Self-Affirmation and M.lsicsession. (NC Photo)

MILWAUKEE (NC) - Whilemost priests are out to saveyour soul, Jesuit Father LouisSavary also wants to help yourbody and your mind.

"For so long, in the Christiantradition especially, we've con­sidered our bodies unimportant. . . when we've consideredthem at all," said the priest, awriter and researcher.

"Look at a common definitionof prayer: lifting the mind andheart to God. Nothing is saidabout lifting the body to God,yet the body, mind and soulcannot be separated. What af­fects one area affects all theareas."

And so, Father Savary tellshis college audience to stretchout on the carpet, close theireyes, and get ready to experi­ence.

The 60 or so women attendinghis "self-Affirmation and Music"session at Mount Mary Collegefollow his directions, preparingto affirm themselves. The priestsupplies the music - "a power­ful catalyst in getting in touchwith ourselves."

Father Savary's objective is tomake the students aware of theirminds, bodies and soul, and howall three work together.

"When we are aware of theinterrelation, we are able to af­firm ourselves, to assert our sig­nificance as a person who hassomething to contribute to theworld," he said. "After all, youcan't affirm what you don'tknow, or what you haven't ex­perienced."

Under Father Savary's guid­ance the students experiencethemselves. He tells them to con-

centrate on the rhythm of theirbreathing, on the motion of theirhands, resting comfortably ontheir stomachs. He advises themto relax and .to follow theirminds, wherever they go.

Some of the minds went tosleep, while others had moreprofound experiences. "I couldfeel relaxation just drippingthrough my body," said one stu­dent. Another had a more tangi­ble experience: "I have a spas­modic colon, and was having alot of stomach pains when Icame in. Now they're all gone."

Father Savary said the methodcan serve as a prelude to study,work, play and prayer.

"I've discovered that about60 percent of the people who gothrough an experience similar tothe one today will have a rel~:gious experience of some sort,he said.

NOTRiE DAME, Ind. (NC) ­The "official" Catholic church ismore committed now than everbefore to helping divorced andseparated Catholics, participantsin the North American Confer­ence on Divorced and SeparatedCatholics were told.

Father Donald Conroy, familylife director of the U.S. Cath­olic Conference, said in hisopening remarks that "There isa sense among the officialchurch of really wanting to re­spond and respond effectively"to the needs of the divorced andseparated.

Rather than just issue a "pas­toral letter of encouragement,"Father Conroy said the bishopsmade a committment to actionin their 12 year plan for familylife, which specifically includesa ministry to the divorced andseparated.

Sister Paula Ripple, a Fran­ciscan nun and executive di­rector of the conference, echoedFather Conroy's remarks thatthe past year has been a "hope­ful one" for the group becauseof the bishops' committment tothe divorced and separated andthe lifting of the excommunica­tion ban on divorced, remarriedCatholics. She suggested thatthe lifting of the ban, in a sense,has brought divorced and sep­arated Catholics "out of thecloset."

Father Conroy noted that thelifting of the ban was "key"because it was a symbolic ges­ture which prompted many dio­ceses to begin sensitive minis­tries to the divorced and sep­arated.
