With parents and assorted sib­lings, the Girl Scouts formed ahuman chain to transport theboys' gear into St. Anne's School.

"The boys were eating andwe didn't want their dinner toget cold," explained Mrs. Michnomaternally.

In the school other volunteershad set up cots from S1. Anne'snursery school for the boys.

Next morning Mrs. Michno ledthe Girl Scout mothers in pre­paring blueberry pancakes forthe boys and their leaders. Then,as efforts continued to get themback on the road, they touredthe battleship Massachusettsand the Marine Museum andplayed baseball with St. Anne

medical team, Dr. GiancarloCastiglio~i, feared that PopeJohn Paul may not allow him­self sufficient time to recoverfully from his injuries.

"He is full of projects, of goodideas," said Castiglione.- "Butlike every patient he too has toconvalesce. I am convinced thathe will not spare himself andtherefore our concern is that hewants to begin too soon."

It was reported that the popespoke with his doctors 15 min­utes after being wheeled into therecovery room following Aug. 5surgery to reverse his colostomy.

An Italian newspaper said heopened his eyes, smiled and saidto his doctors: "Thank you onceagain. I bless you."

According to Vatican Radio,the pontiff recited the breviaryand concelebrated Mass on thevery afternoon of the operation.About 6 p.m. on Aug. 5, saidVatican Radio, the pope, lying inhis bed, concelebrated Mass withSecretary of State Cardinal Agos­tino Casaroli and one of thepope's personal secretaries,Father Stanislaus Dziwisz.

Scouts were doing good deedsfor each other last weekend.

Members of St. Anne's parish,Fall River, including Boy andGirl Scouts, sheltered and fed 22boys and five adult leaders froma Dalton, III. troop after theirbus broke down on Route 24 inTiverton.

Father John R. Foister, St.Anne's pastor and Fall River firedepartment chaplain, was alertedto the boys' plight by the Som­erset disaster team late last Fri­day afternoon. He went to thebreakdown site.

There Girl Scouts joined theaction as mothers waiting fortheir daughters to return from aparish-sponsored camping tripwere hastily pressed into serviceto obtain fast food chicken din­ners for the Scouts.

By that time the youngstershad been waiting on the high­way six hours as mechanics triedfruitlessly to repair their bus.Passersby had provided softdrinks but it was a weary bunchof Scouts that Father FoIsterloaded into his chaplain's wagonand transported to S1. Anne'sschool.

VATICAN CITY -(NC) - Fourdays after Pope John Paul IIunderwent a second intestinaloperation at the Gemelli Poly­clinic in Rome, his voice wasstrong and clear in an Angelusmessage taped from his hospitalbed.

The pontiff prayed that "noone may lack bread" in his nativePoland and noted the third anni­versary of the death of PopePaul VI.

Vatican sources said prepara­tions had been completed at thepapal summer residence in Cas­telgandolfo, about 15 miles southof Rome, for the pope's arrivalfor a two-month period of furtherrecuperation from an assassina­tion attempt May 13.

In a medical bulletin Aug. 8Pope John Paul's nine physicianssaid that their patient's "post­operative progress is proceedingregularly ... The general condi­tions remain good."

The pope began taking liquidsorally Aug. 7 and his intravenousfeedings ended shortly after­wards.

"They were kept there until theycould be taken to the federalleprosarium in Louisiana," ex­plained Brother Damien, "and aslate as the 1930s the SacredHearts fathers from Fairhavenwould go there by boat to sayMass for them."

Several years ago, their hospi­tality and "fantastic courtesy" toa visiting group from St. Pat­rick's parish, Wareham, withinwhose boundaries the estate lies,gave rise to the family fairs.

Civilinski, then in St. Pat­rick's parish and a member ofthat group, said "We got to lovethe place and what it stands for.-But we soon realized that thebrothers needed physical andmonetary assistance. We got to­gether a permanent committeeof about 12 people from theCape and New Bedford and calledourslves Friends of the SacredHearts. We started out with sup­pers and sales, that sort ofthing. Then we decided to haveone big fair instead of manysmall events.

The estate was later turnedover by Herrick to MassachusettsGeneral Hospital for possible useas a convalescent home. Theplan never left the drawingboards, however, and in 1943 thebuildings and grounds were pur­chased by the late Bishop JamesE. Cassidy and turned over to theSacred Hearts community. Theywere dedicated as a seminarylater that year.

In recent years the estate has'also' become a spot for parishpicnics and other events. Par­ishioners of St. StanislausChurch, Fall River, held a day ofrecollection and a retreat therethis week, for instance.

Marriage and Engaged En­counter couples, Teens En­counter Christ and various ecu­menical and family groups lromas far away as Virginia havealso used the facilities said Broth­er Damien. The house can ac­commodate about 40 people indouble bedrooms, he said, andnumbers are more flexible whenteens and children are willing tobed down in sleeping bags.

The estate grounds include alarge corral, now a convenientparking area, that formerly heldthe Irish horses favored by Her­rick. There are also tennis andhandball oourts and a beautifulprivate beach overlooked by aboathouse.

Among many small islandsvisible from the beach is a for­mer holding island for lepers.

"Once people come, they keepcoming." That's how Jim Civil­inski of S1. Margaret's parish,Buzzards Bay, sums up the ap­peal of Sacred Hearts Seminary,Wareham.

Established in 1943 as a sem­inary for the Sacred Hearts com­munity, the 125-acre waterfrontproperty is now also a retreatand conference center.

Father Vincent T. O'Keefe hasbeen chosen as temporary vicargeneral of the world's 27,000Jesuits during the illness of theJesuit superior general, FatherPedro Arrupe.

Father O'Keefe, 61, one of theorder's four assistant generalssince 1965, was chosen on Aug.10 to govern the society becauseof the incapacity of Father Ar­rupe, who suffered a stroke Aug.7.

A medical bulletin on Aug. 10said Father Arrupe, 74, was re­sponding favorably to anticoagu­lant therapy to dislodge theblood clot in his brain whichcaused the stroke.

He was stricken as he arrivedat Rome's airport after an 11­hour flight from Bangkok, Thai­land. The flight followed a two­week visit to the Philippines tocelebrate with Filipino Jesuitcommunities the 400th anniver­sary of the arrival of Jesuitmissionaries in the Philippines.

Doctors said on Aug. 10 thatthe partial paralysis of the rightside which Father Arrupe suf­fered . from the stroke was re­ceding. Mobility of the right leg,according to the medical report,was increasing. Father Arrupewas still unable to move hisright hand and was having diffi­culty speaking because of theimmobility of the right side ofhis face, although there wasslight improvement in these areassince the first day, said the medi­cal report.

Doctors prescribed absoluterest for Father Arrupe for atleast four days and said that an­other medical bulletin would beissued Aug. 17.

In 1980 Father Arrupe had an­nounced his desire to resign asJesuit superior general becauseof his advancing age, but thepope had asked him to postponehis resignation.

Should he resign from his post,Father Arrupe would become thefirst superior general in the or­der's history to do so.

Father O'Keefe, a native ofJersey City, N.J., was ordained tothe priesthood in 1950. He waspresident of Fordham Universityfrom 1963 to 1966.

He is well known to Americantelevision viewers as the colorcommentator for papal cere­monies.

VATICAN CITY '(NC) - Onthe 36th anniversary of the U.S.bombing of Hiroshima, Japan,Vatican Radio reminded itsworldwide audience of the hor­rors of nuclear war and recalledwords spoken last February atHiroshima by Pope John Paul II.

Calling the 1945 bombing "oneof the most atrocious events inour age," Vatican Radio describ­ed its effects in detail. "At 8:15in the morning," the broadcastsaid, "Hiroshima had 343,000 in­habitants; 120,000 of them woulddie instantaneously, 80,000 wouldbe wounded, and many o~: thosewould die later after horriblesuffering."

The broadcast told of the des­truction wrought by the four­ton atomic bomb's blast. "Within300 meters (about 330 yards),people literally evaporated; with­in a kilometer (five-eighths of amile) everyone, or almost every­one, died right away; and theywere the more fortunate ones,because those who had beenfrom three to four kilometers(from the hlast) took severalweeks to die. Those farther awayescaped for the moment, butlater many of them sufferedfrom lukemia or went blind."

Commenting that the weaponused at Hiroshima seems "likean innocuous plaything" com­pared to those of the present day,Vatican Radio noted that "na­tions in possession of suchweapons have amassed in their

good at the service of life,"Mehmet Ali Agca was brought

to court surrounded by bullet­proof glass. He was a productof both hunger and misery andhe learned by way of terrorismthat violent crime pays.

The pain the pope experiencedwas an indirect result of the painthat warped the thinking of Ag­ca.

To dismiss him as a "nut" isonly wishful thinking. No doubthis behavior is horrendous, how­ever murky his motives. Whatis more horrendous is an atti­tude that isolates his particularmadness from the madness thatoccurs constantly throughout theworld.

Peace needs to be our firstpriority. Arming to the teeth isnot the way to achieve it. TheReagan administration may beresponding to a mandate as in­dicated by the polls to increasemilitary spending; however, weare all ultimately accountable tomore than just the opinion ofthe majority.

To achieve peace we may haveto sacrifice, to give up someluxuries. Eventually we muststand up for the lofty ideals offreedom and justice upon whichour nation was founded.

Few people will be willing tostand up for a nation whose onlypriority is seen as prosperity andfreedom from armed conflict in­volving its own sons.

Each generation must make its _.first priority to be God's child­ren and work toward a peacebased upon justice, not the fearof annihilation.

themoori~A Twist of Fate

But a few short years ago, the nation was ready tobury the Republican party. The Democrats rode high.

How could the nation ever return to a two-party sys­tem? Who could ever be found to revive the Grand OldParty? Would there ever be a day when the elephant wouldonce more be able to sit on the donkey?

These were a few of the whimsical questions askedas the Democrats pursued their goals of guns and butter.But time has proved that people forget very easily. TheWatergate tragedy in the long run was not so much a set­back for the GOP as an event that changed the nationalmood. The turmoil of the late sixties and early seventiesleft the vast majority of Americans upset and even angry.Something had to be done; someone had to come along.

Well, those wishes have come true for those whofelt that all had been lost. Like the New England weather,which changes as you wait, so too American politics. Outof the West rode the smiling cowboy of yesteryear. Ron­ald Reagan has accomplished and is still achieving thatwhich was thought to be impossible. He has brought backto the nation the two-party system.

Yet it is difficult to use the old party labels in exactlythe same· way. There is a notable difference. What is cur­rently happening before our very eyes is perhaps thedevelopment of new party identities. In place of Democratand Republican, it would seem that the terms liberal and.conservative would more appropriately describe the cur­rent composition of Congress.

It is precisely because of this that the president hasbeen able to swing the nation to his side. Not the Demo­cratic vote but rather the Democratic conservative votehas proved to be the swing on which the Reagan successhas been able to ride.

Like voices from the past, yesterday's powerful, to­day's enfeebled democratic liberals sing a tune that fewwould rate well on the charts.

.There were very few even in his own party whothought that the Hollywood matinee idol could assemblean alliance that would substantially reshape nationalpolicy. Like an old rerun on late night TV, Ronald Reagankept trying, kept campaigning, kept playing the crowduntil, to use an old Democratic expression, he kept hisrendezvous with destiny. -

Whether one likes it or not, Ronald Reagan has oncemore established the influence of the executive branchover Congress. Perhaps for the first time since the uniquedays of FDR, a president can control the people on the Hill.The only thing with which the opposition can counter isfleeting glimpses of Camelot.

If the Reagan economic plan works, if he is able tocontinue charming the American public, if he continuesto uphold issues dear to the middle class, then Ronald Rea­gan will have one of the longest runs of his long career.

As a look at the past 20 years of American politicsproves, the whims of the public are many. But most peo­ple like a good show. Ronald Reagan is giving a great per­formance.

The democrats have nothing but sounding brass andtinkling cymbals. They will have to get a few more in­struments to join their band before they can even think ofharmony. Even then it will be difficult to form a unifiedand organized marching group. For the Democrats this isindeed a twist of fate.

would never have been toleratedin Lady Diana's former littlekingdom in Pimlico. But shewould spot him at once - justa taller version of little Cedric,who always, when unable to at­tract attention in any other way,would turn his paste pot upsidedown on his head or hurl himselfon the floor. The need for notice,at whatever price, does not endin Romper Room, or even withelection.

Nor would she experience anydifficulty in deciphering theorigin and causes of the recentrumble between Secretary ofState Haig and UN AmbassadorJeane J. Kirkpatrick. That kindof thing is familiar. Alistair, yousee, regarded himself as the vicarof the crayons. He always gavethem out at coloring time. Butone day, when he was bent overa Chinese puzzle, the teacherasked Hilary to take over, where­upon Alistair retreated to thecorner in a deep sulk and mutetered to his little cohorts that hehad arranged the crayons in theright order and told Hilary ex­actly how to give them out ­and, in fact, deserved all thecredit for the success of the op­eration.

Lady Diana, in her old life,would perhaps have praised Hil·ary and sought the earliest op­portunity to address the class onthe subject of "sharing."

She plans to take her husbandin hand, she revealed in an ex­change with Chris Evert Lloyd,who visited her in the royal boxat Wimbledon.

Mrs. Lloyd asked why theprince was not present. "It is be­cause he can't sit still," said thenew princess, connoisseur ofsquirmers. "He is like a great bigbaby, but one day I hope to calmhim down enough to enjoy it."

There speaks the kindergartenteacher. She sees the child in theman. She knows that in the righthands, he will come along nicely.

The prince is under the im­pression that the royal family istraining his new wife. He willfind out, in due course, that sheis training him.

The prospects for the marriagecould not be better. Here youhave a young woman with apeerless understanding of humanbehavior, and a prince who isnothing less than a phenomenonin the modern world - a youngman who wishes to please hisparents and do the right thing.

They should live happily everafter.

•p;rlllCeSSBefore her marriage, the

new Princess of Wales re­ceived some basic trainingin how to wear a crownfrom Queen Mother Elizabeth.

Certainly, in such matters asthe proper angle of the cham­pagne bottle in regard to theprow, the scissors to the ribbon,the fetching princess could haveno better ooach. .

But she really does not needone. She has been peerlessly pre­pared for the royal life. She is aformer kindergarten teacher.

It is a conditioning nonpareil.Every morning of her brief car­eer, the former Lady Diana step­ped into a panorama of aggress­ions, anxieties, rivalries, stormsand emergencies that will, ex­cept for the size of the partici­pants, be pretty much what shewill face as people curtsy to herinstead of grabbing her aroundthe knees in greeting.

She is, as a result of her ex­perience, a seasoned translatorof garbled messages, which isterribly important for someonewho will be mingling with poli­ticians and other public figures.

Five-year-olds can be quite ver­bal and occasionally eloquent.But the thoughts sometimescome out in confusing sequence,like airplanes on a runway thattake off in the wrong order.

Thus a child may suddenlyscream, '·'1 hate you," when whathe really means is that he needsdesperately to go to the bath­room and wishes you had no­ticed sooner.

That exact thing would neverhappen at a formal reception.But in the event that a Cabinetminister suddenly begins rantingabout high taxes, she will atonce suspect the real problem ­perhaps tight shoes or collar.She cannot pat him on the heador wipe his nose, as she mighthave done for a small sufferer inher nursery school.

Others argue that a guestworker would increase Mexico'seconomic reliance on the UnitedStates and that the guest work­ers themselves would be littlemore than slilves.

But some Western congress­men want a larger program, say­ing many low-paying jobs intheir region go unfilled.

Possibly equally controversialis the administration's proposalto fine employers who hire il­legal aliens, coupled with rejec­tion of a proposal for a counter­feit-proof national identity cardso legal workers could provetheir right to a job.

Employers say they shouldnot have to shoulder the burdenof determining the residency sta­tus of potential employees, whileHispanic groups fear fines mightdiscourage employers from hir­ing anyone who looks like a for­eigner.

That concern also was raisedfive months earlier by. the USCCwhen a bipartisan immigrationcommission appointed by Presi­dent Jimmy Carter made a simi­lar recommendation.

"Since the recommendedsanctions may raise the specterof discrimination, this is a mat­ter of serious concern to theCatholic Conference," BishopThomas Kelly, USCC generalsecretary, said then.

When one little girl was crushedby a freak auto accident a fewyears ago, it affected us all. For­tunately, she survived after aharrowing six months and wasone of those who whipped us involleyball.

Yesterday, we were concernedbecause the youngest of thegroup was suffering a separatedmuscle from a swimming injury.Just like a family. Lots of hurtsand lots of pleasures, only theyare shared by more than parentsand siblings.

I think this ·kind of familyfriendship is invaluable in ourincreasingly mobile and deper­sonalized culture. It makes upfor brothers and sisters who aretoo far away and friends whomove on. On the way home fromour gathering yesterday, ourchildren commented, "Gee. thatwas fun," and "Aren't we luckyto have them?"

wise exist - charged that theadministration's proposals a­mounted to a new form of slav­ery and would prove to be "anti­family."

The administration has sug­gested that aliens must show 10years of continuous residence inthe United States before theycould apply for permanent resi­dence status. In the meantime,they would pay taxes but wouldnot be eligible for food stamps,welfare or unemployment com­pensation and would not be al­lowed to bring their families in­to the country.

"This is like going back toslavery," said Javier Rabadan ofthe Chicago-based InterfaithCoalition for Justice to Immi­grants. He argued that it wouldforce "second-class citizens" towork and pay taxes but be eli­gible for none of the benefits of"first-class" citizenship.

Another member of the samecoalition, Dorothy McIntyre,contended that the plan wouldconvert into "official policy" thealready tragic situation of fami­lies split while the husband seekswork north of the border.

Plans for a guest worker pro­gram also have been loudly criti­cized in the past by religious andHispanic organizations who re­call the "bracero" programclosed in 1964.

"A guest worker programwould mean the end of the Uni­ted Farm Workers if it becamean elaborate program, as un­doubtedly it would," said Msgr.George Higgins, retired U.S.Catholic Conference secretaryfor special concerns, at a pressconference denouncing such aplan.

gious discussion for the adults,story telling for the children,and a noisy and somewhat messypotluck we euphemistically call­ed agape meal. We had an ag­gregate of 16 children, the eldestof whom was 14 or so.

That 14-year-old is now mar·ried and the stepmother of twoin a faraway state. Her familymoved to Minnesota and whilethey are still missed, anotheryounger family, much liked byall, eventually assumed theirplace. At one point it seemed asif y.oe had babies and toddlers inall corners, but those babies andtoddlers are now in junior andsenior high while their olderbrothers and sisters are in col­lege or the work world.

One just graduated from NotreDame. His sister holds a respon­sible position as head of a de­partment in a fine hospital, an­other sister is a buyer for asports outlet. A graduating seniorfrom one of our other familieswas named state drum major·this past year. I could go onabout their collective honors,and their parents' as well, but Iwon't bore you.

The point of all this is thateach of us feels a bit of owner­ship of each of these kids. Like­wise, we hurt when they hurt.

A Reagan administrationproposal for sweeping re­forms of U.S. immigrationpolicy, like many of theplans before it, is running into abuzzsaw of opposition.

The plan, sent to Congress.July 30, includes:

- "Legalization" opportuni­ties for many illegal aliens pres­ently in the United StatEls;

- Fines of up to $1,000 foremployers who knowingly hireillegal aliens;

- An experimental guest pro­gram allowing 50,000 Mexicanlaborers to enter the UnitedStates temporarily each year fornine to 12 months, and

- New border enforcementmeaures costing $40 million, plusan additional $35 million jFor con­struction of detention centersfor aliens caught lrttempting tocross the border illegally.

Many of the ideas, which willnot become effective unless Con­gress decides to enact the pro­posals, were being criticizedfrom all sides. Some, for in­stance, said that the guest work­er plan was not large enoughwhile others said no sueh planshould be implemented.

The legalization, or amnesty,proposals are also likely to becontroversial.

"I suspect that 8 million un­employed Americans wouldquestion the wisdom of an am­nesty policy which rewards law­breakers," said Sen. John East(R-N.C.) shortly before the Rea­gan plan was unveiled.

But proponents of amnesty ­who say many of the estimated3.5 to 5 million illegal alienshold jobs that would not other-

You rest."There are times when compass­ion is cause for homicide.

It was not a wild party butone of those pleasant bonusesof family life that comes along.all too rarely - a da~r spentwith other families who are goodfriends. There are families whereparents like the other parentsbut the kids can't stand eachother. There are families whereparents have to force politenesstoward each other for the sakeof their children's friendships.But once in a rare while thereare families where the wholefamily enjoys the other wholefamily.

The accident happened late atnight - almost morning, in fact- along a secluded street in anaffluent suburban community. Ithad been a pleasant summer day.

But these are just incidentals.The accident could have happen­ed - indeed, has happened - atany time in Any Town, U.S.A.

Those who lived nearby heardthe squealing tires followed bythe "whuump" that ended ineerie stillness. They said it wasa grim scene. There was enoughillumination so that anyone whowasn't completely numbed bythe horror could figure out whathappened.

The driver had careenedaround a curve (he was famili~r

with it and enjoyed taking it athigh speed so passengers wouldslide into each other), lost con­trol, jumped the curb, caromedoff a fire hydrant and smashedhead on into a tree on the otherside of the street, reducing thecar to a jagged mass if metaland shattered glass.

Despite their injuries, twoyoung people were able to stag­ger out. Two others lay crumpledinside and had to extricated. Thedriver was 17. All had beendrinking and empty ·beer cansrattled around the floor of thecar. Miraculously, all survived.

Later the parents of the driverwere to ask: "Why? Why did ithappen? Why were they drink­ing? We've warned them so manytimes."

Jimmy - we'll call him that- could answer their questions,but it's not likely that he will.However, from what he's said tocounselors and friends and con­fidents, it's not difficult to puthis story together. It goes likethis:

"We didn't mean any harm.We just wanted to have somefun - to have a good time.Mom and Dad always seem tohave a good time when they'redrinking. It's the only time Isee them laugh anymore. Other­wise they're fighting or each oneis going off alone. But at partiesit's not that way.

"Life hasn't been fun lately,what with the fighting and Mom'nagging about school and Dadscolding me about being irres­ponsible and immature. And Iguess I am. But that night Iwanted to be able to laugh."

Jimmy and his friends mightbe able to laugh again - some­day. I hope so. I pray that hewill be able to forgive himself,that his still-developing faithwill see him through this crisis.And I pray that the parents ofother Jimmys will pause to con­sider the values they are reallypassing on to their children.

Made of white limestone, thestone shows two rampant lionsand a scallop shell designed tohold an eternal light. It wasfound in the ruins of a Jewishtemple believed to date fromabout 200 A.D.

According to Eric and CarolMeyers, Duke ·University reli­gion professors involved in thediscovery,' t.he stone is from acopy of the original Ark of theCovenant. As described in theBible, the original gold-platedArk of the Covenant was used inancient Israel to carry the stonesof the Ten Commandments. Itdisappeared in biblical times.

The scholars believe that cop­ies of the ark were used later,still in ancient times, to holdscriptures.

Announcement of the find wasmade jointly by Duke Universityin Durham and the AmericanSchools of Oriental Research inCambridge, Mass.

Finally, after a farewell spag­hetti supper cooked by the St.Anne's Scout moms, they tookto the road once more, havinghad to buy another bus.

The Illinois Scouts had alreadybeen on the road three weeks,said Mrs. Michno, attending aBoy Scout jaboree in Washing­ton,' D.C., touring th'e capital andtaking in other sights en route.When they came to a halt inTiverton they were on their wayto Cape Cod.

The youngsters were unfazedby the mishap, said Mrs. Mich­no, taking it as one more ad­venture on their trip. "And couldthey eat!" she added. "One boyhad four plates of spaghetti andfive pieces of watermelon. Wethought he'd burst!"

But the adults were veryvery grateful for St. Anne'shelping hand and overwhelmedby the generosity of New Eng­land hospitality.

For the St. Anne volunteers,coordinated by Mrs. Michno andher husband Edward, leader ofthe parish Boy Scout troop, theweekend was an object lessonin what Scouting is all about.

"Our children helped and sodid the children of the otherparents," said Mrs. Michno. "Wetry to tell them Scouts isn't justcamping and getting badges ­you must live it, too. We thinkthey did that this weekend."

But she admitted that bySaturday night "We were allnumb!"

Dear Editor:The "Housing Crisis" article

and the picture of the HarlemJOOther on page 1 of the July 30Anchor really upset me! The so­called "wisdom of men" dis­claims poverty in our nation;there are "near poor" but onlybecause they refuse t() helpthemselves. .,.

How many wonder if the Har­lem mother is an addict, an al­coholic, a gambler, maybe aHaitian refugee or, get this, alazy broad who motherl; child­ren for AFDC monies. Surelywe've all painted these pictures.

Would you care to "throw thestone" or maybe you'd like toreconsider and try to see :povertyas it really is and learn withyour heart. The greatest offenseagainst poverty of any :form isour inability to first :forgive.Without this there can be nogiving in the name of charity...,

We good people fraternizewith one another-upstanding,churchgoing and supporting,family-loving, smiling, . hard­working Christians - yet we killone another the whole daly long.Our minds and hearts fail to de­liver the poor. Those who thriveon the miseries of the p>oor in­clude all of us, whether by ma­terial gain or by omission totruly uplift a very real livingpart of Jesus' body...,

If Christ is in our neighbor,how can we allow Him to sleepin a heatless, roach·riddEm, bar­ren flat? ...

For some time I have beenwriting on the word "underprivi­leged" as is used with the St.Vincent de Paul summer camp.It's a lousy title!

Anyway, this script cameabout. What you do or fail to dowith it doesn't matter - it'sbeen said!

To achieve better coordination,Cardinal Casaroli convenes amonthly meeting of the heads ofall Vatican departments andholds membership on each of thenine congregations.

Sometimes Pope John Paulhimself chairs the monthly co­ordinating sessions to keep aneye on "the odds and ends" and ."nuts and boIts" of his domain.

Pilot awardBOSTON (NC) - Frank Rey·

nolds, chief anchorman of ABC's"World News Tonight" since1978, has been voted the thirdannual O'Reilly-Conway Medalby staff members at The Pilot,Boston archdiocesan newspaper.

Cardinal Humberto Medeiros,publisher of The Pilot, will pre­sent the medal to Reynolds ata ceremony Sept. 15 at the news­paper's offices.

Reynolds, a Catholic who be­longs to Blessed Sacrament par­ish, Chevy Chase, Md., was bornin East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 29,1923. He became an ABC corres­pondent in 1965. He is marriedand has five sons.

The medal, named after twodistinguished Pilot editors, JohnBoyle O'Reilly (1844-1890) andKatherine Eleanor Conway (1852·1927), was established in 1979,the 150th anniversary of ThePilot's founding, to recognize"distinctive contributions tojournalism."

Previous winners were An­thony La Camera, TV columnist,and Elliot Norton, drama critic,both of the Boston Herald-Ameri­can.

Although correspondence in­volves a major part of theirwork, officials in the eight lang­uage sections (polish, English,French, Spanish, Portuguese,German, Italian and Latin) alsoprovide translations of papalmessages and documents issuedon his foreign trips. Sometimesthey also do the translations formessages and documents givenat the Vatican.

After sections complete atranslation, they come togetherto check their versions againstthe Polish original, said the Am­erican official of the secretariat.

The discussions are held inItalian and the four-memberPolish-language section - cre­ated after the October 1978 elec­tion of the church's first Polishpope - reigns supreme in thetalks, he added.

Pope Paul VI's 1967 apostolicconstitution, "Regimini Eccles­iae Universae," on the reform ofthe Roman Curia says the Sec­retariat of State "has the workof the most proximate assistance

uage section, which receivesmore correspondence than anyof the other seven languagegroups.

An oath of confidentialitytaken by each secretariat em­ployee precluded any discussionof the contents of the letters hehandles. Father Nienstedt saideach letter is "brought to theholy father's attention" and re­ceives a personal response signedby an official of the Secretariatof State or by the pope himself.

"Sometimes we try to redirectthe problem to the person re­sponsible," he said.

In addition, Father Nienstedtsaid, staff members at the sec­retariat often include letter­writers "in their own prayerlife."

ThIs is the fifth in a !~eries ofarticles by the NC News ServiceRome Bureau on how thE! RomanCuria, the church's central ad­ministration, is run.

VATICAN CI1Y (NC)"Each of the Vatican congrega­tions has a specific area Ilf speci­alization - bishops, prie.sts, edu­cation," said an American offi­cial of the papal Secretariat ofState. "What we do is pick upthe odds and ends."

That role, especially u:r:tder theenergetic and popular PClpe JohnPaul II, includes everything frompreparing a daily briefing bookof world news to finding a Chin­esse language scholar in themiddle of Tokyo to answeringthe tens of thousands of letterssent to the pope daily.

It also means coordinating theactivities of about 300 Vaticandiplomats throughout the world,planning international papaltrips to the last detail, 2.nd slav­ing over translations of majorpapal documents to assure thatofficial versions in sev,en lang­uages coincide with the sense ofthe pope's original Polish.

"Pope John Paul's needs arenumerous, unimaginable," saidthe official, who recalls thesearch for a specialist in Chin­ese in the Japanese capital ofTokyo when the pope decided tospeak in Chinese during an ad­dress in Hiroshima, Japan.

The official, who asked not tobe named, described 66-year-oldCardinal Agostino Casa.roli, thepapal secretary of state, as "thepope's number one coLaboratorin the day-to-day running of thechurch."

Sometimes that collaborationis obvious to the public, as whenthe cardinal represented PopeJohn Paul at the recent funeralof Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski,primate of Poland, in Warsaw.Private consultations ta.ke placetwice a day or more, even sincethe pope's hospitalizat::on afteran assassination attempt May 13.

At the Vatican, Cardi:r:tal Casa­roli is assisted by Spani:sh Arch­bishop Eduardo Martir.:ez Som­alo, his undersecretary, andabout 150 priests, nuns and laypeople.

Father John C. Nienstedt, apriest of the Detroit arl:hdioceseand one of the youngest staffmembers at the Secretariat ofState, compares his present du­ties to a previous POS1~ as per­sonal secretary to Cardinal JohnDearden of Detroit.

"A local bishop does not havethe global responsibility nor thegovernmental responsibilitiesthat the pope does," hE: said.

But both jobs involve dealingwith "the nitty gritty nuts and?oIts," Father Nienstledt said.And at the Secretariat of State"the holy father is very much incharge. He sets the tone."

Father Thomllc; Powprc::. direr­tor of the .u.S. office for visitorsto the Vatican, also believes thepope's illness is a strong factorin the tourist decline.

"Father Powers, a priest fromthe Diocese of Albany, N.Y., saidthat in an average summer,which is a ;;>eak tourist seasonin Rome, his office would have1,100 requests a week from Am­ericans for tickets to the Wed­nesday audiences.

Father Powers attributes thetourist decline chiefly to a dropin the number of U.S. visitors.

"This morning," Father Powerssaid, "a mother and her daughtercame to our 'office for some in­formation about the VaticanMuseum. ThE!y said that earliertoday they had been on a citytour bus and they were the onlyAmericans among the 50 peopleon the bus. Now in a normalsummer, most of the tourists onthat bus would be Americans."

The drop in U.S. tourists thisyear, which many long-time resi­dents of Rome have noted, isparticularly surprising in light ofthe strength of the U.S. dollarwhich makes tourism a bargainfor Americans. The current ital­ian exchange rate is 1,240 lireper dollar, an increase from 850lire only 10 months ago. Thismeans that a U.S. visitor can geta full-course meal at a good Ro­man restaurant for under 10dollars.

ROME (NC) - Would you goto Rome if you were unable tosee the pope?

Many potential tourists haveapparently answered that ques­tion, with a firm no.

Foreign arrivals in Italy aredown 15 percent from 1980, thefirst drop in a decade, and offi­cials are attributing 'that drop,at least in part, to the absenceof the pope as a drawing card.

Pope John Paul II is hospita­lized at Rome's Gemelli Poly­clinic, still suffering from theaftereffects of an attempt on hislife on May 13.

The pope has held no publicaudiences since he was shot,though he has prerecorded talkseach week to be 'broadcast onVatican Radio and played in St.Peter's Square each Sundaynoon.

There is no way, of course, toask a potential tourist why hedid not come to Rome, butgovernment officials assume thatthe pope's absence is a key fac­tor.

"It is a supposition, naturally,"said Luigi Coppe, a spokesmanfor the Italian Office of Tourism."We cannot know for sure andthere are certainly many factors.But thousands of people wouldnormally fill St. Peter's Squareeach week for the pope's audi­ences. Now, of course, there isno one."

It will probably be well intothe falI before the pope resumeshis traditional Wednesday audi­ences at St. Peter's. Followingan operation to reverse a colos­tomy necessitated by the shoot­ing, his physicians have predict­ed a 10-day postsurgery hospitalstay and then a two-month con-

A Mystery"We are the people of God, a

pilgrim people stumbling alongthe road to eternal life. Thechurch is a mystery that cannotbe fully contained within theterms of any image - images,like poetry, have an elusivequality. They say much morethan the words we use to conveythem." - Archbishop Peter L.Gerety, of Newark, N.J.

reclaimed as resource and resi­dence of the affluent," he said.

Another workshop speaker,Joseph Corcoran, president of acompany, which has built mixedincome communities in Wey­mouth and Lynn, said he is "onthe supply end of building newhousing and of renovating exist­ing units. Yet as fast as we canget housing up in the city, weare losing housing for low andabandonment.

"It's like going up a down es­calator. If the abandonment in­creases at the rate that it hasbeen, there is no way that weare going to be able to producethe number of units required tostay even."

One reason for this, he said,is that the Reagan administrationis committed to eliminating allthe programs developers havebeen using to fund low incomehousing.

"For instance," he said, "inthe last 10 years our companyhas built about 3,500 units ofhousing. About 80 percent of itwas government financed low­income housing, the rest beingmarket-value private housing. I'dsay that in the next five yearsthat ratio will be completely re­versed, and the only reason we'llbuild 20 percent low-incomehousing is because the govern­ment requires us to."

The Big PictureDiscussing the "big picture" of

U.S. housing and calling presenthousing delivery systems inade­quate, Father Timothy O'Leary,professor of sociology at St.St. John's Seminary, Brighton,said they do not meet the needof families and individuals, es­pecially the poor, for decenthousing.

He spoke at a seminary work­shop on The Housing Shortage:A Moral Challenge, sponsoredby the Boston archdiocesan Jus­tice and Peace Commission.

"The church must make everyeffort to influence public policyand the mechanisms of the hous­ing market, to reduce the costof housing and develop addition­al revenues," Father O'learysaid. "It must be a voice thatmakes the marginalization of thepoor as important a concern asthe margin of profit in the hous­ing industry."

Citing an estimate that about250,000 poor and near-poor peo­ple live in Boston, the priestnoted that the sharp increase inthe price of housing greatly in­creases their difficulty in findinghomes. "The median price ofnew homes has increased from$37,000 in 1974 to $69,000 in1980," he said. "By 1984 the esti­mated cost of a new home willreach $100,000. There is almostno new housing being construc­ted for the poor."

The abandonment of buildingsand the influx of upper class citi­zens to the inner cny have add­ed to the housing shortage,Father O'Leary said. The dis­placement of the poor by afflu­ent citizens buying and renova­ting inner city property "is be­coming more and more a publicissue, as Boston is now being

CARDINAL HUMBERTO Medeiros of Boston andFather Michael Groden, director of the archdiocesan UrbanAffairs Office, study a housing project model. (NC Photo)

The activities of the archdio­cese of Boston in th(~ hous­ing field illustrate both coopera­tion among church, governmentand private enterprise ;and thevariety of housing needs thatsuch cooperation seeks to meet.

The Boston archdiocesan Plan­ning Office for Urban Affairs,set up in 1970, has beer.. involv­ed in development of four mixedincome townhouse communitiesin the Boston suburbs. It is alsoassisting in construction of twoapartment complexes for theelderly and handicapped and itis a housing consultant for ten­ant and community groups.

Each townhouse communityconsists of attached hCluses, isracially and economica::Iy inte­grated and is owned by a co­operative. Msgr. Geno Baroni,former assistant secretary ofHousing and Urban DevE!lopment(HUD), called the developmentsthe best thing of their kind thatU.S. church has done in hous­ing.

A cooperative is a form ofownership in which II singlemortgage and deed are }Ield by acorporation in which each resi­dent holds shares. The number ofshares held depends on the sizeof the townhouse ~cupied. Eachresident-stockholder- is :responsi­ble for a proportionate share ofthe mortgage, taxes and otherexpenses, and has a vote in theaffairs of the cooperative, whichis managed 'by an elect,~d boardof directors.

The developments are open topersons of low, moderat,e or highincome. Each individual or fam­ily purchasing a home mustmake a down payment. rangingfrom $210 for a one··bedroomtownhouse to $420 for four bed­rooms, but people of low incomecan qualify for state or federalsubsidies to meet monthly pay­ments thereafter.

A low income family is expect­ed to pay 25 percent of its in­come monthly, and the: subsidymakes up the difference betweenthis amount and actual monthlycosts. Payments include thehomeowner's share of the co­operative mortgage payment,real estate taxes, insurance,maintenance costs, employeewages and .operating ,expenses.For a three-bed-room townhousein North Andover, for instance,community this payment is $670a month, including heat andwater but not electricity. Somelow income residents pay only$50 of this amount. High incomeresidents paying the ful.l amountcan of course deduct their shareof the mortgage and real estatetaxes from their income tax.

Each townhouse communityhas a central meeting hall withlounge and kitchen, a swimmingpool, tennis courts and a play­ing field.

With federal funds, the Boston.. Archdiocese is also sponsoring

construction of two apartmentcomplexes for the elderly andhandicapped, one of 80 units inBoston and one of 101 units inLynn. In both cases, new build­ings will be attached to rehabili­tated convents.

About that time a remarkableman arrived in Ephesus. Hisname was Apollos and he wasa Jew. He was an expert in theJewish Scriptures, which we to­day call the Old Testament. Hewas a convincing speaker andpreacher.

Apollos also knew much aboutJesus and the Christian way oflife. He seemed filled with theHoly Spirit.

He went to the synagogue onthe Sabbath. He began to speakthere about Jesus. Priscilla andAquilla were excited when theymet him and even more excitedwhen they heard him in the sy­nagogue.

Shirley Moriarity is not sur­prised at the way the role of thelaity has developed at theChurch of the Risen Christ inDenver, Colo., during its 13years as a parish.

"In parish life today," Mrs.Moriarity slllid, " you see staffand parishioners working to­gether, supporting each other,reaching out and listening toeach other."

After years of being an activeparishioner, Mrs. Moriarity inJuly 1980, joined the parish staffas a full-time pastoral assistant.

"The church has always beenthe center of my life," she com­ments, "but now it has becomeeven more important." In herposition, she works with theelderly, previously married peo­ple and with scripture studyprograms.

By Janaan Manternach

Paul stayed quite a while inCorinth, then decided to moveon. He asked his friends Aquilaand Priscilla to go with him.

So one day the three of themsaid goodbye to the other Chris­tians in Corinth. As they left,Paul must have wondered whowould take his place of leader­ship there.

The three sailed to Ephesus.Priscilla and Aquila decided tosettle down there. Paul stayedwith them a short time, holdingdiscussions in the local syna­gogue. The people wanted himto stay to tell them more aboutJesus, but Paul told them hecould not stay just then.

"God willing," he promised ashe left, "I will come back to youagain."

Paul left Ephesusand spentsome time visiting other Christ-

But in spite of its weaknessesthe proposal has its merits, ifonly because it calls our attentionto the care with which Matthewdrew up his presentation. Hisstructure interests people, be­cause we are so certain that hedid have a structure in mind.

If we follow this idea of fivebooklets within the Gospel ofMatthew, we are likely to findthat in each booklet he is pre­senting thoughts about the king­dom of God and developing someaspect of that theme.

Booklet 1 would be found inChapters 3: I to 7:29, the charterof the kingdom.

Booklet II: Chapters 8:1 to11: I, the dynamic of the king­dom.

Booklet III: Chapters 11:2 to13:53, the mystery of the king­dom.

Booklet IV: Chapters 13:54 to19:1a, tne conduct of the king­dom.

Booklet V: Chapters 19: Ib to26:2, the consummation of thekingdom.

While. Matthew does not iden­tify the kingdom as the church,quite obviously he sees the twoas related.

Leadership also involves skills.Some people come by them nal­urally, but for the most partthey can be learned and im­proved.

Let's look at skills that arevaluable in parish life. These in­clude teaching, counseling, or­ganizing and communicating.Other skills involve the abilityto plan, resolve conflict, manag€~

skills, it is obvious that weshould involve many people inparish life, for no one personcan have all these abilities. It isclear also that leaders shouldcontinue to improve their skills.

On the basis of this observa­tion, Bacon concluded that the-body of the Gospel was struc­tured along the lines of fivebooklets, each one made up ofa narrative that leads to a longinstruction by Jesus.

His theory tied in nicely withMatthew's obvious concern forhis Jewish-Christian readers: Thefive booklets would then parallelthe five books of the JewishLaw called the Pentateuch (fivescrolls) which introduce the OldTestament. Jesus, then, couldbe seen as the new Moses, prom­ulgating a new Torah.

According to Bacon's view,the body of Matthew's Gospelwas introduced by a prologuewhich is found in Chapters 1 and2, where we read of the birthand infancy of Jesus. Bacon al­so thought the Gospel concludedwith an epilogue made up of thepassion, death and resurrectionaccounts. The prologue wouldbe a fitting introduction, notonly to the main themes of theGospel but also to its structure,for the infancy section is builtaround five explicit Old Testa­ment citations.

Attractive and well-groundedthough Bacon's proposal is, ithas its flaws. Perhaps its great·est weakness lies in its relega­ting the all-important chapterson the passion, death and resur·rection of Christ to the status of

Nurturing leaders

By Father John J. Castelot

Matthew was faced with anew situation. He wanted to re­organize the traditional materialabout Jesus for presentation tohis community.

He respected the general out­line of the material about Jesusas drawn up by Mark. But with­in that framework he movedwith great freedom and original­ity and came up with a quitedifferent presentation.

However, Matthew did not in·clude with his Gospel a table ofcontents. As a result, scholarshave had to try to figure outwhat structure he had in mindby analyzing the text itself. Notunexpectedly, different scholarssee a different structure or or­ganization in the Gospel. Only afew suggested outlines, however,have gained widespread accep-tance. '"

Perhaps the most popular isthat of the American scholar,Benjamin Bacon. He observedthat the same refrain, in almostidentical words, occurs fivetimes in the Gospel, each time asthe conclusion to a long dis­course of Jesus.

Its first appearance is at theend of the Sermon on the Mountin Chapter 7: "Jesus finished thisdiscourse and left the crowdsspellbound at his teaching. Thereason was that he taught withauthority."

By Father Philip J. Murnion

Some people are born leaders.The rest of us have to learn theskill.

Few people consider them­selves leaders. Yet if we con­sider leadership as helpingothers act, most of us do thissometime during our life.

What goes into leadership?Certainly, vision ranks high: theability to see what might be. Forif a person is able to see variouspossibilities, he or she can helpothers see them too.

In a parish, the basic vision isthat of faith. It is a vision ofnew freedom which sees thepossibilities of love; a visionwhich gives Christians the powerto overcome death. Yet this vis­ion must be described in a waythat can be easily grasped andit must be translated into veryconcrete terms.

To do this, leaders need toknow the hopes and fears of the

Brotherly lovedenied by Court

WASHINGTON (NC) - Thecity of Philadelphia's effort topay more than $200,000 for theplatform and altar built for thevisit of Pope John Paul II in1979 has been thwarted by theU.S. Supreme Court. The courtwithout comment left intact low­er court decisions that city pay·ment for the platform and altarwould be a violation of the sep­aration of church and state.

Although the Archdiocese ofPhiladelphia had said it was will­ing to pay for the platform, thecity insisted on making the pay­ment, saying it was treating thepope like any other visiting headof state. In a ruling a monthafter the papal visit, U.S. CourtJudge Raymond J. Broderickordered the city to seek reim­bursement from the archdiocesefor $204,569 in constructioncosts. His decision was later up­held by an appeals court.

some accounting expertise whilethe parish council president mayneed communication and organ·ization skills.

Some dioceses too offer leader­ship training to sisters, priests,lay people and seminarians tohelp prepare them for ministryon the parish level.

From my experience as direc­tor of the U.S. bishops' ParishProject, I realize that parishesgreatly increase the chances foraccomplishing their objectives byworking regularly on skills.

When St. Paul described theearly church, he pointed out howvarious people were gifted asteachers, administrators or pro­phets. All the gifts were needed,he wrote, and the Spirit intendedthem for the work of the church.Parishes today still need to knowand use their gifts.

Continued from page twelvesus. They helped him learn evenbetter what it meant to live as aChristian. Aquila and Priscillawere very impressed with Apol·los. He reminded them of Paul.

For some reason Apollos didnot want to stay in Ephesus. Hewanted to go to Corinth. So theChristian leaders in Ephesuswrote letters of recommendation'for him. They urged the Chris·tians in Corinth to welcome him.

The Christian community fullyaccepted Apollos. He broughtthem much stength and encour­agement. He was obviously agreat leader.

Apollos soon spoke out pub­licly against those who opposedthe Christians. He debated withthem about Jesus. He helped con·vince many that Jesus was theMessiah.

Paul soon heard about this im­portant new Christian leader. Hewas happy that God had sentsomeone like Apollos to take hisplace of leadership in Corinth.

given task? Or, have you. attend­ed meetings where the agendawas not clear or responsibilitieswere ill-defined? The lack ofg~od meeting skills can quicklydampen enthusiasm and willing­ness to do one's part.

Again, have you ever been ina group where people did notreally listen to one another? Orwhere a few people made decis­ions that served only to alienateother people of good w:ill?

Realizing the need, many par­ishes sponsor leadership train­ing programs. They have foundthat offering people help in be­coming leaders will lead more ofthem to involvement in parishactivities.

erous area cultural and socialactivities.

Mrs. Moriarity looks forwardto addressing the needs of theincreasing number of divorced,separated and widoWE!d mem­bers of the parish. "Just whenyou start one program, you seeanother segment of the parishthat needs attention," Bhe says.

Another longtime padshioner,Bette Anderson, has been in­

.volved in religious education fora number of years and recentlyhas published a booklet outlininga program for studying Scrip­ture. So it was natural for thenew pastor, Msgr. William Jones,to turn to her to explore possi­bilities in this area.

With help from the pastor andMrs. Moriarity, Mrs. Andersonadapted her program to fit par­ish needs, devising a 28-weekcourse of scripture study. Anecumenical program, half its 150participants are non-parishioners.

Members meet weekly to heara Catholic or Protestant minis­ter, then break into groups fordiscussion led by trained leaders.Few have dropped out, eventhough members are expected tospend several hours studying theBible at home in preparation forthe discussions.

Mrs. Anderson believes an im­portant ingredient in the pro­gram's success is the pastor's en­couragement. "People need toknow that a program hus the OKof the pastor," she says.

She also thinks that there aremany talented people in parisheswho are willing to be involvedif they are asked and then en­couraged. "Parishioners shouldlet the staff know their experi­ences and talents," ShE: says.

Msgr. Jones concludes, "Thegreatest consolation I have ex­perienced at this parish is thesupport and prayerfulness of theparish community. They look atthe pastor as one who works andprays with them in a God-cen­tered way."

Q. In the past two years, threeof my relatives have gotten div­orces. I think I'd be afraid to getmarried. And yet in a way Ithink I'll want to when I'm oldenough. Can you tell me bow toavoid an unhappy marriage?

A. Ten thick books could bewritten to answer your question- and maybe even they wouldn'tbe adequate. In this limitedspace I can only give you onestep to take, and what I'm goingto give you is a list of questions.

When you become seriousabout someone and think youmight like to marry that person,ask her or him to sit down withyou for a long talk. Try to an­swer together the followingquestions:

- After we're married, whowill prepare meals - and when?

- Who will wash the dishes?- Would you ever hit one of

our children as a punishment?- Should we both have jobs?

If not, which one of us shouldstay at home?

- Who will dust and run the. vacuum cleaner on weekends?

- Will we have a joint bankaccount?

- If we have only one car,what will we do with it?

- How many children wouldwe like to have?

- Is it important for a childto have brothers and sisters?

- How much money shouldwe save up .before we get mar­ried?

- Who will make the bed,and who will change the sheetsat laundry time?

- How much health insur­ance should we carry? Whatabout life insurance?

- Who will make house re­pairs and try to unclog cloggeddrains?

- What kind of apartmentcan we afford?

- Will we ever be able to af­ford a house?

- Whose parents will we eatThanksgiving dinner with thefirst year?

- What recreational activitieswill we engage in?

- Are you a "night person"or a "day person?" If I like to goto bed early, are~ you going tohave the television turned uploud and make a lot of noisewhen you come to bed?

II CorruptionBy Cecilia Belanger

Political corruption concernstomorrow's adults almost asmuch as the issue of war andpeace.

There are two kinds: petty andgreat.

Petty corruption can be per­sonal, as in the giving or takingof bribes. I call it petty becauseit affects few people and is usu­ally self-limiting, used mainly tosustain friends, not convert en·emies.

But big political corruption issomething else. It seeks throughauthority to appear good; itseeks to shape the system forpersonal gain. Often it is notrecognized until too late.

Petty corruption is usuallyseen as unjustifiable but big cor­ruption can be made to appearjustified.

Let me quote Machiavelli, themaster of big corruption; "J\prince," he says, "is oftenobliged, in order to maintain thestate, to act against faith, to actagainst humanity. He must notdeviate from what is good, ifpossible, but be able to do evilif constrained to do so. II

If leadership cultivates thisability to know when to indulgein the "noble lie, II the peoplemust learn to recognize it.

Consider the Supreme Courtand the Korematsu case. Kore­matsu was among thousands ofJapanese-Americans who hadtheir property expropriated andwere put in internment campsduring World War II. He suedthe United States for his freedomand restoration of his propertybut he was denied on groundsthat what the government didwas constitutional.

Dissenting, Justice RobertJackson wrote one of the mostmagnificent statements in Am­erican legal history: "A judicialinterruption that· will sustainthis military order to intern theJapanese is a far more subtleblow to liberty than the orderitself. A military order, howeverunconstitutional, is not apt tolast longer than the militaryemergency itself. But once a judi­cial opinion rationalizes thatmilitary order to show that itconforms with the constitution,the Supreme Court, for all time,has validated the principle ofracial discrimination. II

It is corrupt to make an evilend appear authorized and good.And such an action continues tocorrupt. It infects not only theoriginal parties to the trans­action but. all of us.

Again, thoseCape churches

I HAVE another question foryou. A few weeks ago I askedreaders to write to me aboutpeer pressure. I've received in­teresting letters and will be writ­ing about them soon.

What I want to know now is:Have you discovered a winningformula for your stage of life?What do you think it means tobe a winner?

In Santana's song we hear ofa person who was losing withlove.

Losing can erode our self-con­fidence. We may wonder whatis wrong with us. Maybe we de­velop a sense that we're not OK.

However, we are not helplessbefore the whims of fate. Life al­ways molds new beginnings.

W:inners admit failures andmove ahead. Sosers keep repeat­ing the same steps, going deeperinto failure and depression.

To begin winning, start askingsome difficult questions. Whatchanges can be made in yourvalues, attitudes, behaviors?Winners know that the truth,even when painful, empowerschange.

Christians are called to helpeach other be winners. Theyknow that we move ahead notby stepping over each other, butby walking ahead together.

Those are a few of mythoughts abollt winning and los­ing. It's an important subject be­cause it affects the way we feelabout ourselves. What are yourthoughts about this? Write meand I'll share as many as possi­ble of the ideas I receive.

Correspondence may be mailedto Charlie Martin, 4705 Boule­vard Place, Indianpolis, Ind.46208.

WINNINGOne day I was on the groundWhen I needed a handThen it couldn't be foundI was so far down that I couldn't get upYou know and one day I was one of life's losersEven my friends were my accusersIn my head I lost before I begun.

I had a dream but it turned to dustAnd what I thought was loveThat must have been lustI was living in styleWhen the walls fell inAnd when I played my handI looked like a jokerTum around fate must have woke her'Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door.I'm winningI'm winningI'm winningI'm winning and I don't intend losing againToo bad it belonged to meIt was the wrong time and not meant to beIt took a long time and I'm newborn nowI can see the day that I bleed forIf it's agreed that there's a need to play the gameAnd to win again

life of the Trappist monks of St.Joseph's Abbey, Spencer.

Its extraordinary feature is therare view it offers of the life ofthe spirit as experienced by con·temporary Christians searchingfor God,

Since Vatican II the Trappistsat St. Joseph's have become moreinvolved in service to others andhave de-emphasized some aspectsof their monastic tradition, suchas total silence and mortifica­tions. This "leap from the 16thto the 20th century" was diffi­cult, especially for older monks,but viewers can judge for them­selves the spiritual value of thechanges.

Perhaps most striking is theopenness of the monks in talk­ing about the joys and difficult­ies of their vocation. Her sensi­tive treatment of their life cer­tainly justifies their confidencein producer-director Helen Whit­ney.

FATHER ROTHER

removed from the church. Morethan 2,500 Indians stood withinthe church and thousands morestood outside.

At this Mass Father Rother'sheart and the gauze with whichhis blood had been carefullysaved were buried in the church.This was done at the special re­quest of the Indians and ap­proved by ecclesiastical and civilauthorities. No one was loved bythe Indians so much as FatherRother was loved, a former staffmember of the mission said,even though the priests who hadpreceded Father Rother were al­so loved.

Raymond Bailey of the staffof the American embassy in Gua·tamala said, "When I saw thescene at the church, with hund­reds of people standing lookingtoward the church, it was liketheir god had died. It was asight I'll remember the rest ofmy life."

When the Indians learned thatFather Rother had been murder­ed they set to work to make himthe most beautiful casket theycould. By afternoon they hadconstructed a simple woodencasket, smooth and shiny. How­ever, it did not meet internation­al regulations for transfer ofbodies, so the priest's body wasembalmed and placed in a metalcasket.

Father Rother's is believed tobe the first confirmed murder ofan American missionary in Gua­temala, although 40 to 50 un·armed Guatemalan citizens diedaily at the hands of unknownkillers, acoording to Amnesty In­ternational, private organizationmonitoring human rights viola­tions.

'Bealltiful American'buried in martvr's red01 .

By Sister Martha Mary McGraw

OKLAHOMA CITY (NC) ­Father Stanley Rother, Oklahomapriest who was murdered inGuatemala, was called the "beau­tiful American" who went forthfrom his own country to sharethe love of Christ.

Archbishop Charles Salatka ofOklahoma City, principal cele­brant imd homilist at the Massof Christian Burial Aug. 3,voiced the hope that the Ameri­can government would pursuethe investigation of the murderto a successful conclusion.

"Americans should burst withpride at the Iremembrance of thisbeautiful American, Stanley Ro­ther," he said. "I trust that theAmerican government will notrest until the truth of his deathis brought to light, including. therealities in Guatamala which con­spired to harm him."

The archbishop has disputedthe Guatemalan government's ex­planation of the murder. Officialssaid Father Rother was killedduring an attempted robbery athis church.

"My lack of acceptance of thisexplanation is made in view ofthe whole context within whichthe murder occurred, as well asin light of information receivedfrom reliable sources both ec­clesiastical and secular," saidArchbishop Salatka.

The prelatE~ said he had writtento Secretary of State AlexanderHaig about the murder. In thatletter, he added, he quoted astatement of the Guatemalanbishops, who pointed to a "stud­ied plan" that "exists to intimi­date the church and silence itsprophetic voice" through mur­ders and violence.

"My conscience does not al­low me to stiand by and see mis­leading impressions of FatherRother's death easily swallowed'by the people of Okiahoma," thearchbishop said.

Father Rother was buried inthe red vestments of a martyr,wearing a stole made for him bythe Tutujil Indians of SantiagoAtlitlan, where he had served for13 years.

The Mass was celebrated atOur Lady's Cathedral in Okla­homa City. He was buried inHoly Trinity Cemetery, Okarche,Okla. Following the gravesideprayers offered by ArchbishopSalatka, family and friends filedby to touch ~md to kiss the cask­et. That Father Rother was amartyr, shot down because ofhis loving care for the oppressedIndians he served was expressedover and over again by friendsand former missionaries whocame from distant parts of theUnited States.

Father Rother was shot todeath in his rectory at 1 a.m.July 28. His parishioners, as soonas word was spread, came andstood in the square in the frontof the church, silently prayingfor their pastor. About 1,000stood there all day, silently fac­ing the church, praying.
