WASHINGTON (NC) - The.escape of hostage Charles Glassfrom kidnappers in Lebanon Aug.17 was through the intercession ofthe Blessed Virgin and in answerto his parents' prayers for a mira­cle on the feast of the Assumption,their parish priest said.

FatherJohn Neiman spoke aboutthe release in a telephone interviewwith National Catholic News Serv­ice shortly after he offered a Massof thanksgiving Aug. 18 for therelease of the American who wasgrabbed by gunmen two monthsbefore in a suburb of West Beirut.

Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczykof Cincinnati, NCCB vice-presi­dent, also at the briefing, said thepope "will come and teach in accordwith the role he has in the CatholicChurch and present Catholicteaching as cogently, pastorallyand persuasively as he can."

Dolores Leckey, director of theU.S. bishops' Office for the Laity,said that in some ofthe cities therewill be "structured dialogue" dur­ing which representatives from spe­cific groups will make a presenta­tion, followed by a response fromthe pope.

About the cost ofthe trip, Arch­bishop May said it would costeach American Catholic about 50cents or a total of $22 million, acost he said "is a marketing reality."

Another official at the briefing,Norman Francis, president ofXavier University in New Orleans,the nation's only predominantlyblack Catholic college, later saidthat black Catholics, whom thepope will address in New Orleans,hope the Holy Father will addressthe issue of racism in the churchand the need for more black bishopsas ordinaries of dioceses.

stories about souvenirs, such as"popesicles" and "other trivia" butsaid he hoped such coverage alongwith stories on the "slant third par­ties wish to give the visit" won'tentirely distract from its impor­tance.

He said the visit also will en­courage Catholics to affirm theirreligious identity at a time whenthere is confusion "in the minds ofquite a few good sincere Catholicsover just what it means to be aCatholic - to believe like a Catho­lic and to live like a Catholic in awealthy, consumerist, nuclear­armed, secularized country likethis one in 1987."

To a question on whether thepope would be prepared for dem­onstrations that could occur alongthe route, Archbishop May said hesaw "no indications of great dem­onstrations or mass uprisingsagainst the pope."

He added that he was not trivial­izing dissension some Catholicsmay express on certain issues, in­cluding women's rights and homo­sexuality, but that "those subjectsare nothing new or nothing par­ticularly American. He's facedthose again and again. I don'tthink he's going to satisfy every­one. As a teacher ofCatholic truth,he doesn't change his message."

WASHINGTON (NC) - Al­though press reports have focusedon papal souvenirs and grievancesof special interest groups, the visitof Pope John Paul II to the UnitedStates should be seen "first andforemost" as a pastoral visit toU.S. Catholics, Archbishop JohnL. May of St. Louis said recently.

The president of the NationalConference of Catholic Bishopsmade the remarks at a media brief­ing in Washington on the upcomingvisit.

The September trip calls atten­tion to the "essential unity" U.S.Catholics have with one anotherand the pope, he said, adding thatit also will be an "opportunity anda challenge to American Catholicsto affirm their religious identity."

Archbishop May, in a statement,said the "excitement level is highand rising rapidly," especially inthe 10 U.S. cities where the popewill stop.

While the pope will visit with anumber of non-Catholics, the visitis primarily for Catholics andshould be understood and evalu­ated in relation to them, the arch­bishop said.

The theme for the visit, "Unityin the Work of Service," callsattention to the "vast network" ofchurch institutions, programs andministries serving the nation as

The pope acknowledged thatmodern life poses new moral prob­lems that "are often not easy toresolve." But he said that individ­ually and in the teaching ministry,Catholics have the duty to follow"the word of God, which is authen­tically interpreted by the church'smagisterium."

He added that the church'steachings need to be applied withpastoral tolerance and charity.

The pope did not say when thedocument would be ready, norwhich Vatican agency was prepar­ing it. A Vatican press spokesmansaid he had no further informationabout the expected document orits contents.

In his letter, the pope praised St.Alphonsus for his clear writingson faith and morals, his sympathyas a confessor and his understand­ing of the way the church works.

"He had particular venerationfor the Supreme Pontiff, whoseprimacy and infallibility he defend­ed in difficult times," the popesaid.

In an article in a recent issue ofthe Jesuit magazine America, aleading moral theologian, Re­demptorist Father Bernard Har­ing, said it was "astonishing" thatduring his lifetime St. Alphonsus"was attacked solely by rigoristswho accused him of dissentingfrom the teaching of the magiste­rium and of dangerous laxism."

Jewish leadersto meet with pope

LOS ANGELES (NC) - Jew­ish leaders in Los Angeles recentlyannounced that they would meetwith Pope John Paul II on Sept.16, as scheduled.

Rabbi Harvey Fields, inter­religious chairman of the South­ern California Board of Rabbis,said the decision was made becauseof the pope's willingness to meet inRome with Jewish leaders.

After the pope held a controver­sial meeting with Austrian Presi­dent Kurt Waldheim, as reportedin last week's Anchor, some Jew­ish leaders threatened not to attenda Sept. 11 meeting scheduled withthe pope in Miami, the first stopon his visit to the United States.

"We were delighted that theVatican doors of dialogue wereopened, and that we can look for­ward to strengthening our owndialogue," said Rabbi Fields,senior rabbi of Wilshire BoulevardTemple in Los Angeles.

The Sept. 16 meeting will be acelebration of "Nostra Aetate,"the Vatican II document of non­Christian religions. Jewish, Bud­dhist, Moslem and Hindu repre­sentatives will meet with the popeat the J~pan America Center.

U.S. Catholic officials and someJewish leaders have said they hopethe planned meeting in Romebetween Vatican officials and Jew­ish representatives will help easestrained relations between the twogroups.

Vatican-Jewish relations havebeen strained since Pope JohnPaul II met June 25 with Wald­heim, who has been accused ofNazi wartime activities inYugoslavia.

What will be discussed at theRome meeting and its date havenot been set, although officialsfrom both sides expect the meetingto be held later this month.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - In aneffort to help guide CatholicsJhrough a "changed social-culturalcontext," the Vatican is preparinga document on the fundamentalsof moral theology, Pope John PaulII has announced.

The pope made the announce­ment in a recent apostolic letter tothe Redemptorist religious order,commemorating the 200th anni­versary of the death of the congre­gation's founder, St. AlphonsusLiguori. The pope praised thesaint's attitude toward theologicalresearch and his defense of papalprimacy and papal infallibility.

"Especially in our age, no onecan ignore the great importance ofmoral theology," the pope said inthe 12-page letter. One. of thechurch's modern missions, he said,was to make people rediscover thecorrect relationship of truth, good­ness and freedom - a relationshipthat "has been largely lost in con­temporary culture."

CARDINAL O'BOYLE

WASHINGTON (NC) - Car-.dinal Patrick A. O'Boyle, first res­ident archbishop of Washington,will be remembered as teacher,adminstrator and civil rights leaderbut also as pastor, the role "heenjoyed most," said Bishop Tho­mas W. Lyons of Washington.

Bishop Lyons made the com­ments in a homily at the Aug. 14funeral Mass at St. Matthew'sCathedral for Cardinal O'Boyle,who died Aug. 10. ArchbishopJames A. Hickey of Washingtonwas the main celebrant.

Seven U.S. cardinals, severalbishops and over 200 priests anddeacons filed into the crowdedcathedral· and past the prelate'scloth-draped casket, with his croz~

ier at its head and the familiar redbiretta at its foot.

Among those at the Mass wasU.S. Secretary of Education Wil­liam J. Bennett and several localgovernment officials.

The cardinal, who was 91, diedof pneumonia and kidney failure.

As archbishop of Washingtonfrom 1948-73, he made considera­ble achievements in civil rights andsocial welfare, and he ordered thedesegregation of archdiocesanCatholic schools five years beforethe 1954 U.S. Supreme Courtdecision l;>arring segregation inpublic schools.

Following the Mass, interment •was in a chapel crypt at the cathed­ral reserved for Washington'sarchbishops.

Cardinal O'Boyle "related soeasily with people of every age andstation .... he was most touchedby individuals," Bishop Lyonssaid.

He recalled the cardinal's child­hood and how the son of Irishimmigrant parents whose fatherdied when he was 10 rose from aworking-class neighborhood inScranton, Pa., to head the U.S.bishops' massive War Relief Ser­vices - now called Catholic ReliefServices - during and immediatelyafter World War II.

He called the prelate"a complexman" but "a man of simple, direct,strong faith."

Cardinal O'Boyle, who had beenthe oldest U.S. cardinal and thefourth oldest prelate in the Collegeof Cardinals, is survived by fourcousins in Scranton.

He was named a cardinal in1967. His death brings the mem­bership of the College of Cardinalsto 140, of whom 102 are under theage of80 and thus eligible to elect anew pope..

and promote awareness of it.The events, such as lectures,

debates and exhibits, are being'coordinated through the 28-institu­tion Association ofJesuit Collegesand Universities, which was thefirst higher educational associationto be recognized by'the Commis­sion on the Bicentennial of theUnited States Constitution as aformal bicentennial participant.

The intent of the programs iseducational, said Jesuit FatherWilliam C. Mcinnes, president ofthe Jesuit association. "In learningabout the Constitution 'we arelearning about ourselves and therole that church-related education

• has played in the development ofour country."

Another Catholic university, theUniversity of Dallas, also is parti­cipating in the Constitution bicen­tennial. Through funding from theNational Endowment for the Hu­manities, the university is sponsor­ing a three-year series of programson "the principles that bind togetherall parts of the Constitution andimpart to it a definite spirit," thebicentennial commission an­nounced.

Meanwhile, Archbishop J. Fran­cis Stafford of Denver, in a pas­toral letter commemorating theConstitution, the upcoming 200thanniversary ofthe U.S. hierarchy,and the IOOth birthday of theDenver See, cited the contribu­tions Catholics can make to restor­ing public virtue.

"As we open the third century ofour common life under the Consti­tution, perhaps we can understandmore clearly that what Americarequires today is a renewal of civicvirtue," he wrote. "In this way, ourcelebration of the Constitution willbecome more than the commemo­ration of a remarkable piece ofpolitical craftsmanship. It willbecome a genuine recommitmentto the goals of liberty and justicefor all."

grounds. Even Maryland, foundedby Catholics, from the late 1600suntil 1775 forbade Catholics tovote or hold office.

By contrast, the Constitutioninsists, in Article VI, that "no relig­ious test shall ever be required as aqualification to any office or pub­lic trust under the United States."

Subsequently, the Bill of Rightswas ratified, -effective on Dec. 15,1791. In the very 'first sentence ofthe First Amendment, the nationdecreed that "Congress shall makeno law respecting an establishmentof religion, or prohibiting the freeexercise thereof. . . ."

In letters and statements, Arch­bishop John Carroll of BaltiJDore,Catholic America's first bishop,the 'brother of Daniel Carroll, hadadvocated such liberty.

"Freedom and independence ac­quired by the united efforts andcemented with the mingled bloodof Protestants and Catholic fellowcitizens should be equally enjoyedby all," then-FatIter Carroll wrotein December 1787.

In a 1789 letter to George Wash­ington, he, brother Daniel, cousinCharles (a signer of the Declara­tion of Independence) and otherprominent Catholics declared that"whilst our country preserves herfreedom and independence, we shallhave a well-founded title to claimfrom her justice equal rights of

,citizenship, as the price ... of ourcommon exertions for her defense... rights rendered more dear tous by the remembrance of formerhardships."

As it turned out, "tolerationgranted by the Bill of Rights hasput all on the same footing and hasbeen of great service to us," saidJesuit Father Joseph Mosley, wholived through the limitations ofthecolonial period.

Among the 39 delegates whosigned the historic document onSept. 17, 1787, were two promi­nent Catholics: Daniel Carroll ofMaryland and Thomas FitzSim­ons of Pennsylvania.

Today, their religious descen­dants are celebrating the Constitu­tion and all the values it embodies,including equality of religiousbelievers.

The Ministry of Adult EducationIt won't be long before school bells ring and our thoughts

once again return to the classroom. For most parishes it's timeto renew and revise existing religious education programs,which generally emphasize basic agendas for the spiritualdevelopment of children.

Growing numbers of parishes, though, are giving equal timeto adult formation and education. There is little doubt thatlocal religious instruction must reach out to fulfill the needs ofadult parishioners. This effort must indeed be encouraged andsupported in all its dimensions.

And it is most important that as adult endeavors developspecial care and concern be extended to the persons who directthem.

Adult religious educators, like other ministers, respond to acall for service to the church, their call often taking the form ofa strong desire to work with adult learners or to see adulteducation as a logical extension of what is already done incatechesis with children.

Whatever the reason, it is important that the adult religiouseducator brings to this special ministry suitable competenciesand attitudes which will enable him or her to serve well theadult learner's needs. Too many well-intentioned programshave already flounded on the rocks of incompetence andunskillfulness. -

Few people who work in parish-level adult education pro­grams enter the arena with formal training. On the job learningis the usual rule pf thumb. Fortunately, programs to developadult religious educators are now evolving in many dioceses.

There is probably no attribute more important to adultreligious educators than sp'irituality. It should not be a mereemotional or superficial whim of soul that directs one to thisimportant mininstry. The person who undertakes this impor­tant and needed work sh.ould be an individual deeply commit­ted to the spiritual disciplines, to prayer, to the sacramental lifeof th~ church and $0 authentic and approved teachings. Moredamage to souls is done by the dilettante who flitslrom onepassing fad to another and whose sense of church is personal,subjective and inward.

This special ministry requires one to be a guide, leadinga<J.ults on a pilgrimjourney in search of that wisdom and truthwhich is Christ. No one can hope to perform that role wellunless they have some personal experience of the faith j ourneyand of the challenges it presents.

A good teacher should always keep in mind his or herinadequacies. So often our level of expectation in ministry ismore than exaggerated. One must always realize that in such aministry as adult religious education, it is God who is the trueeducator, the one who causes the growth in faith.

Another quality that is important in today's church missionis optimism. Teachers in the church should be spiritual optim­ists. They must believe in the church with all that means in thelong history of God's holy people.

There are many other essential skills that adult religiouseducators should pursue. It is essential that they be personcentered and get to know those they serve. They should also berealistic. We all must learn to live with considerable amountsof ambiguity. Certitude is relegated to the divine.

The task is not easy but it is needed. There are no easyanswers to the problems. We should never forget, however,that adult education is a service to life and faith. It helps us tobe instruments in Thy kingdom come.

Agreement reachedon singer's tombLAKE PLACID, N.Y. (NC) -'

More than a year after her death,officials at St. Agnes Catholic

, Church have agreed to allow thebody of Kate Smith to be entombedin a mausoleum in the churchcemetery.

The decision came after a year­long dispute between parish offi­cials and the executors ofthe sing­er's estate. Miss Smith died June17, 1986.

According to her will, Miss Smithdesired to be buried in the Catholiccemetery of St. Agnes "in a her­metically sealed bronze casket in amausoleum." The parish generallyforbids above-ground crypts andlarge headstones in the small-towncemetery.

Miss Smith, whose body hadremained in a vault in the Adiron­dack Mountains, owned a campon Lake Placid and spent summersthere. A convert to Catholicism,she was baptized in St. AgnesChurch in 1965 and left the bulk ofher estate to the church and a cen­ter for the elderly.

The pink granite walk-in maus­oleum will be 8 by 1°by 6 feet witha bronze door and a stained-glasswindow, according to news reports.

Earlier this year a parish com­mittee recommended that the ex­ecutors permit the remains to beplaced in a single crypt mauso­leum and proposed a "sar­cophagus-type" mausoleum mea­suring about 5 by 9 by 3 feet.

The executors, however, were~issatisfied with the proposal, say­109 that a mausoleum, by defint­tion, should be high enough topermit an entrance door.

Churchhas manyrites

Q. I read your Question Cornerin our archdiocesan paper andhave a question. I got used to theByzantine Rite in Spanish (I'm aCentral American) and I loved it.The music, incense, God's peopleparticipating in the liturgy withthe priest, all this was spirituallylifting and made me feel like I wasborn again.

Suddenly word came from some­where that the priest would bemoved. Everything was joyful, lov­ing and beautiful. I am now attend­ing a Roman Catholic church andin the liturgy I feel abandoned.Why don't we h.ave a rite like theByzantine, or at least try to teachour priests to renew or something?After all, you are teaching thatChrist lives. We are not praising adead God. (California)

A. I admit right at the start thatI have no answer or solution to theproblem you raise. I believe manyCatholics will find your letter in­teresting, however, and it certainlyinvites some serious reflection bylay people and by us priests.

For one thing, it is a reminderthat ours is a very big church withroom for lots of ways of praying,believing and worshiping. TheByzantine' Rite (or church) is oneof many that are part of the Catho­lic Church on earth. Anyone whohas shared in their liturgies, whenthey are celebrated fully and well,is reminded again of the gloriousvarieties of our faith and that ajoyful, exuberant liturgy can stillbe awesome and reverent.

One hopes that the same aware­ness is experienced in many RomanRite liturgies as well.

As you have discovered, in gen­eral, Roman Rite celebrations aremore subdued - and certainlyshorter - than those of mostother rites. But far more flexibilityand creativity already are possibleeven in our Roman Rite than oneusually experiences at Mass.

The missal and other liturgicalbooks provide for numerous op­tions, not only in choice of wordsbut in other ways, that we have'hardly begun to explore.

As you suggest, an unbelieverwho walks into our liturgy shouldexperience some inkling that it is aliving, happy God that we worshipand that he is with us and in us aswe celebrate.

Q. I am a Catholic, very strongin my faith and have never beenmarried. The man I wish to marrywas married before and divorced.At that time, both of them werenot Catholic and were never bap­tized. About nine months ago hebecame a Catholic and, of course,received first Communion and con­firmation.

We now wish to marry. Willthere be any problem? He is strongin his faith and we are both grow­ing together in our Catholic relig­ion. We hope you can help us.(Pennsylvania)

brought this out better than anyother art.

Christianity teaches that we arealways in need of harmonizing ourlives and this is best achieved bygetting into the rhythm of living as'Christ taught.

Put I\..nother way, music has thepower to break us out of amechanical, listless disposition atMass. It can elevate spirits, moveus out of inertia and unite us withthose around us and God.

But what if it is difficult to pro­duce good music?

First, let me" say that I tooremember and cherish the beautyof-Gregorian chant and polyphony.At the seminary we had a choir,organ and chant group that wereexcellent.

But the hours of practice andthe talent required would makeduplication of it out of the priceand talent range of most parishestoday.

I have experienced folk musicthat had an effect similar to that Iexperienced in the seminary. Oneplace was in Guatemala,. where Icelebrated Mass with MayanIndians. Although every note wasnot perfect, the singing was heart­felt and sent chills up my spine.

I am convinced that the VaticanII vision of music can prevail if wethrow our hearts into music avail­able to us in parishes, as do thoseMayan Indians.

Why have music at all if it cancause so much controversy? Vati­can II and its vision of music willhelp answer this queslion.

The Constitution of the Liturgyobserves: "Prayer is expressed in amore attractive way, the mysteryof the liturgy is more openlyshown, the unity of hearts is moreprofoundly achieved by the unionof ;voices."

The ancient Greek philosopherPlato believed that our whole lifewas in constant need of rhythmand harmony and that music

Some time ago I ask read­ers what topics they'd like tosee treated in columns. I askedspecifically whether youwanted more or less family, sin­gles, humor, and/ or religiouscolumns.

Your response was gratifying.Many of you wrote long letterscommenting on the Catholic pressin general. Others sent lists of top­ics you would like addressed infuture columns.

Let me thank you here collec­tively. I apPfeciate all who tooktime to write, especially with thebusy lives we all lead.

In general, you want columnson family, particulary issues deal­ing with children, humor, and faithbut related to daily life situations.Many of you urged me to "keeptelling it like it is."

Here are just a few specific top­ics you requested:

- Children and collection enve­lopes at Sunday Masses. How dowe make them meaningful andconvenient? They're such a hasslewhen you have several children.Isn't there a better way of teachingchildren. responsibility for churchupkeep?

- How do you encourage achild to aspire to religious life? Idon't know how to approach itand language like "discernment"and "calling" don't cut it in ourstyle of conversation.

Readers' choices

Some people will tell youemphatically that" they willnever discuss politics or reli­gion because these discussionsend in a battle. A topic within reli­gion which can evoke a similarvolatile response is church music..

In a report, "The Liturgical Lifeof Catholic Parishioners in theUnited States," Dr. Mark Searle, aliturgical researcher for the NotreDame Study of Catholic Life, stu­died 71 Masses celebrated in 36different parishes,

His survey indicates that thesubject of liturgical music is cer­tainly controversial.

He found that Gregorian chantor chant-like music and polyphony'are seldom used in parishes. Folkmusic is ~~e predominant musicalstyle found in most Masses.

However, a little more than athird of the parishioners reportthat they are not happy aboutwhat is sung or how it is performed.

Searle also found that in 48 per­cent of the Masses, "participationin the opening rites - which om:might consider indicative of howihe rest of the celebration waslikely to go - ranged frommechanical to listless."

This came as no big surprisesince 13 percent of all Massesobserved had no music; 51 percenthad no organ accompaniment; 66percent had no choir or musicgroup to lead the congregation; 62percent had no cantor.

Searle's findings might leadsome parishioners to say they wishthey were among the 13 percent ofparishes that have no music.

Others might agree with theover one-third who are unhappywith the way music is handled intheir parishes.

And there might be some whoremember the days of Gregorianchant and polyphony and who

For two years prior to his ap­pointment there, he was pastor ofneighboring S1. Joseph parish,Woods Hole.

From 1969 to 1975, he was pas­tor of St. Mark parish, AttleboroFalls. His years there also sawconstruction of a church andrectory.

A group calling itself the Organ­ization of the People's Defenseclaimed responsibility for the kid­:lapping. It called Glass a CIA spy.The U.S. government, ABC andothers who know him denied theaccusation.

In the Gospel, Jesus went to hisdisciples, who were waiting forhim on a boat in Lake Galilee, bywalking on and across the lake.

When the disciples saw him,they were terrified. Peter askedJesus to prove his identity by let­ting him walk on the waves, too,which Jesus did.

Abp. May answers objections to peritiWASHINGTON (NC) - The

two lay specialists named expertadvisers for .the upcoming worldSynod of Bishops are not "repres­enting and speaking" for U.S.Catholic laity, but are only assist­ing the U.S. bishops who are dele­gates, Archbishop John L. May ofS1. Louis said. The "periti,"Dolores Leckey and Lucien Roy,are not themselves delegates "to asynod made up entirely of bishops,"the president ofthe National Con­ference of Catholic Bishops added.

Ursuline Sister Alice Gallin,executive director of the Associa­tion of Catholic Colleges and Uni­versities, paints a bright picture ofCatholic higher education enroll­ment this fall.

"The enrollment reports I hearare very encouraging.... UsuallyI get a feeling [Catholic schooladministrators] are worried ­instead I'm getting optimistic feel­ings" this year, she said.

Even a couple of Catholic wo­men's colleges that were havingproblems have given encouragingreports, Sister Gallin added.

A good program is "not simplyselling candy bars but help peopleunderstand what Catholic schoolsare doing" for poor and disadvan­taged students and for the com­munity at large.

"I don't think it's right to tell theback to school story simply interms of numbers," Guerra said,but also in terms of the schools'service to the community.

He cited the recent study byJames S. Coleman that found thatCatholic schools do better thanboth public and other privateschools at helping disadvantagedstudents.

ing their children to the highergrades. Thus, "down the road therewill be an increase in enrollment,"according to Brother Kealey.

The opening of pre-schools andkindergartens is "something we'reseeing across the country," he said."There's been a rapid growth inthe past couple years."

Brother Kealey said, "yes, defi­nitely" to the prospect of highertuition. "Although . . . there aremajor efforts whereby parishes aresetting up financial developmentprograms so that in future yearsthe increases are not as great as inthe past several years."

Tuition has increased in Catholicschools because there are fewerreligious to work for little moneyand because "many of the schoolsare making a very determined effortto increase the salaries of teachers.They are trying to come as close aspossible to the salaries in publicschools."

A few years ago "a large numberof schools were closing. There's afew this year" and in some "iso­lated" cases new schools are open­ing, Brother Kealey said. He esti­mated that now "for each opening,two close," helping to offset thedecline.

Michael J. Guerra, executivedirector of the NCEA secondaryschool department, said he "expectssome decrease" in Catholic highschool enrollment this year because"high school-age students are fewerin number and will be for the nextcouple years.

"That demographic wave willroll through in the next few yearsand is expected to turn around bythe mid '90s," according to Guerra.

Another reason for the decreasein number of students, he said, isthe high cost of tuition. Catholichigh schools try to "strike a bal­ance" between paying teachers ajust wage and keeping tuition at anaffordable level.

Guerra also sees the need for"well-organized, well-managed"development programs to keep tui­tion costs down.

WASHINGTON (NC) - ACatholic elementary school in Den­ver is lowering its tuition. TheArchdiocese of Washington isbuilding four new schools.

Those are the exceptions to theCatholic school picture this fall.But today's exception may be to­morrow's rule.

The average child returning toCatholic elementary or secondaryschool this fall will find slightlyfewer classmates, or perhaps evennew classmates as dioceses mergeschools to pool resources. And thestudent's parents will probably payat least a little more tuition thisyear.

Catholic college students canalso expect higher tuition but theenrollment pictltre is brighter.

Last year Catholic elementaryand secondary schools experienceda decline of about three percent,down 84,000 students to 2,735,000.

In 1986-87 there were 7,709Catholic elementary and 1,411secondary schools in the UnitedStates, 116 fewer than in 1985-86.Although 1987-88 figures were notavailable before the start of theschool year, the trend is expectedto continue.

Catholic school enrollment hitits peak in 1964 with 5.6 millionstudents in 13,249 schools. Afterthat there were sharp declines,then a leveling off period.

Some dioceses are consolidat­ing schools to combat the scarcityof dollars, declining enrollmentsand escalating student costs. Themerger of three elementary schoolsin the Diocese ofSioux City, Iowa,for example, affects an estimated480 children.

The Diocese of Buffalo, N.Y., isone that is considering regionali­zation for some of its elementaryschools, a move.away from parishschools.

In Catholic elementary schoolstuition went from an average of$384 in 1984-85 to $463 in 1985-86.In Catholic high schools tuitionrose from an average of $1,284 in1983-84 to $1,491 in 1984-85 to$1,675 in 1985-86, according tostatistics from the National Catho­lic Educational Association.

St. Catherine of Siena Elemen­tary School, Denver, rolled backtuition costs by $300 per studentfor the 1987-88 school year. The 20percent price cut results in a tui­tion cost of $800, according to St.Catherine's principal Martha Ellis.

In the Archdiocese of Wasbing­ton Archbishop James A. Hickeyannounced the building of the firstnew Catholic elementary schoolsin 20 years. Four new schoors areto be built in the Maryland suburbs.

Christian Brother Robert Kea­ley, executive director ofthe NCEAdepartment ofelementary schools,said attention to development pro­grams and to pre-school and kin­dergarten classes may mean thattuitions will go down and enroll­ment will go up.

The enrollment picture in ele­mentary schools now is "tricky,"according to Brother Kealey. "Inthe upper grades, yes, there areprobably fewer but in the lowergrades there are more students."

For example, he said, a third­grade class might have 25 studentswhile the kindergarten has 50.

That's because "90 percent ormore of the parents who have stu­dents in pre-school continue" send-

Since the Second Vatican Coun­cil and partly because 'Of churchteaching, "the contribution of wo­men in these years has notablyincreased in the areas of evangeli­zation, catechesis, liturgy, theol­ogy, and, in general, in the missionthe church carries out in the world,"the pope said.

"Therefore, this seems like afavorable moment to examine moredeeply the ways of ensuring 'anincreasingly active share [by wo­men] in the various sectors of thechurch's apostolate,''' the popeadded, quoting from the council'sdecree on..lay people.

The pope said the life of the Vir­gin Mary illustrated the way toward"the equal dignity of men and .women in diversity of charismsand service," He said the synodshould be able to offer an "effec­tive, deeper study" of that issue.

The pope spoke the day after hecelebrated Mass on the Feast ofthe Assumption, which marks thetaking into heaven of Mary, bodyand soul. The pope said the eventwas one which "we believe withabsolute certainty."

He said that to understand Mary,Catholics need to meditate in aspecial way on the Magnificat, thecanticle Mary sang to praise God'sblessings when she visited her cous­in Elizabeth. One thing Maryteaches in the Magnificat, he said,is that faith is not just an abstractidea of God, but the awarenessthat God does "great things" forpeople.

Speaking to several hundred vis­itors, the pope said the Gospel is"rich in the presence of women,"including those who accompaniedChrist and the apostles, who waitedat the foot of the cross and whohad the privilege of announcingChrist's resurrection.

"These examples are enough toshow that, even if women are notcalled to the typical mission whichthe Lord entrusted to the apostlesas their own, nevertheless they aregiven roles of great importance,"the pope said.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy(NC) - Pope John Paul II saidthe October bishops' synod on thelaity should study how women canplay a more active part in thechurch's mission, but he ruled outordination.

The' pope also said that whilemen and women have "equal dig­nity" in the church, they have dif­ferent charisms and services.

He referred to the priesthood asa mission which was not given towomen.

The pope made his remarks Aug.16 after praying the Angelus at hissummer residence in Castel Gan­dolfo, ]S miles south of Rome.

The synod is expected to dealwith the issue of women's partici­pation in the church, and severallocal presynod reports have saidthe church should do more to rec­ognize women's talents.

Father Clinton, Miss Hogan andFather Coleman explained, wasvery popular with the glass factoryworkers, many of whom were hisparishioners. The priest, they said,saw the laborers through theirhard times, especially those causedby the factory's 1888 closing, dueto competition.

An article by Miss Hogan, in arecent edition of The Acorn, news­letter of The Sandwich HistoricalSociety and Glass Museum, givesinsight into Father Clinton's ram­bunctious style:

"Father Clinton was very involv­ed in community affairs. . . .In1892, when the Sandwich schoolcommittee decided to close theJarvesville School, Father Clintonopposed their decision. He believedthat they were discriminatingagainst the children from 'belowthe tracks.' With personal funds,he rented a room and furnished itwith desks and school equipment.He petitioned the superintendentof schools for a teacher, MissMary Murphy, and in September1892, the first parochial school onCape Cod opened. The schoollasted for only one scholastic year.The next year the school commit­tee reopened the Jarvesville Schooland Father Clinton closed hisschool, having proved his point."

There is a photo of Miss Murphyand her students in the exhibit.

Also included in the display area photo of the parish's first per­manent pastor, Father WilliamMoran, an 1835 woodcut of theglass factory and St. Peter's Churchand a sketch ofthat first St. Peter's.

St. Peter's, the first Catholicparish on Cape Cod, was dedi­cated in 1830. The building thenused by parishioners is now part ofa local hardware store.

A second St. Peter's church,where Father Clinton ministered,was built in 1854. It was declaredstructurally unsafe and condemnedat about the turn of the century.

The parish hall of the presentchurch, dedicated in 1901 as Cor­pus Christi, is named for FatherClinton, who died in 1895.

It is interesting to note that thepresent church is located on JarvesStreet and that houses lived in byJarves' workers still stand nearChurch Street, formerly JamesStreet, the site of the second St.Peter's.

PITTSBURGH (NC) - U.S.seminaries are "on the right track"in efforts to prepare priests for thechurch of the 2tst century, saidBishop Donald W. Wuerl after sixyears of work on a Vatican-Com­missioned study of the seminaries.

10 THE ANCHOR-I)iocese of Fall River-Fri., Aug. 21, 1987 How to achieve maturity• The mature person trusts. You

are able to see the good in others,to risk being tricked and fooledand cheated occasionally. You trustyourself as well, your own reac­tions and instincts.

Trust means viewing the worldmostly as an "OK" place. It meansbeing more apt to anticipate goodthan evil from.others. It means liv­ing for the moment, enjoying thepresent, trusting in God.

• The mature person is gener­ous. You are willing, even eager, toshare your time and your money.You are free to indulge yourselfand equally ready to spend your­self and your goods on others.

Generosity sees the good of theother person as identical with yourown. It means treating the otherperson as if he were with you. Itmeans giving without counting ormeasure.

The paradox is that to find your"self" you must give yourselfaway.Erikson, Maslow and Fromm allrealized that the fully actualizedself was a self that went beyonditself. You find your "self" in lov­ing others.

Reader questions on family Uv­inl and child care to be answeredin print are invited. Address TheKennys, BOll 871, St. Joseph'sCollege, Rensselaer, Ind. 47978.

Thus you ask a very importantquestion: What are the qualitiesthat you should strive for? Hereare four specific suggestions:

• The mature person acceptshimselfand others, not as he wantsthem to be but as they are. You canlove someone without approvingof everything they do.

Acceptance means not judgingand not blaming and not constantlylooking to assign fault. It meanslistening and responding to painwith empathy and understandingrather than immediately offeringcounsel and advice.

• The mature person is open,both openminded and openhearted.You are open to new ideas andnew experiences, without the bur­den ofprejudgment. Especially youare open to others with differentvalues and lifestyles, attempting tohear and understand their point ofview.

Openness means being ready toshare your own heart and hurts, totake the chance of self-revelation,without being defensive and hid­ing your faults and feelings. Open­ness means being humble and hon­est with others, sometimes "wearingyour heart on your sleeve," riskingvulnerability.

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

Dear Dr. Kenny: I want to growmentally and emotionally, to be­come a mature person, to fulfillmy personal potential. What is thebest way to grow? What· does itmean to be mature? I would like tobe the best possible human being Ican be. (New York)

Good for you. All of us strive tobe the best we can, but fbr. some"best" means simply to be freefrom any fault. This is the "absencetheory" of health or excellence. Ifmy body is free of illness, if mymind is free of anxiety and depres­sion, then I must be in good shape.

Still others deffne "best" interrnsof wealth and prestige and power.This is materialism. If I make agreat deal of money, if others rec­ognize my efforts, ifI am in a posi­tion to control others, then I mustbe the "best."

Many famous psychologists likeErik Erikson, Abraham Maslowand Erich Fromm (not to mentionLeo Buscaglia) identify love as themeasure of maturity. Jesus, too,tells us that the mark of the goodperson is love of neighbor. Thegoal of maturity (and sanctity too)is growth in one's capacity to ex­press love.

I was driving to work recentlywhen a young man tailgating mefinally decided to pass me. As hedid, he leaned 'across the pas­senger side and yelled out at me,"What's the matter, lady? Did youtake driving lessons from a funeraldirector?"

"It's better to be trained by afuneral director than a law-break­ing drag racer," I retorted.

Of course he never heard me.That part of the conversation tookplace completely in my mind.

That set me wondering howoften we are at our best in conver­sations held after the fact, pri­vately, to ourselves, or later, totrusted friends and relatives. Wereplay the incident and add all thethings we should have said. butdidn't. And we fidget betweenannoyance and anger because wedidn't squelch our antagonizerbrilliantly.

I envy people like Britain'sformer prime minister, WinstonChurchhill, who was a master atthe quick comeback.

It's said he responded to awoman who said she would putstrychnine in his coffee if he wereher husband, "If I were your hus­band, I'd drink it."

Heywood Broun, founder oftheAmerican Newspaper Association,was another expert at the right-on­target fast response. He was oncesued for libel for calling a per­former "the world's worst actor."

Shortly afterward, he coveredthe actor's next performance, com­menting that he was "not up to hisusual standards."

I, like many others, don't havethe gift of the fast response and soresort to giving offenders theircomeuppances in fantasy verbalknockouts.

One time I'll never forgetoccurred in a week when I neededjoy, not jabs. I was dealing with a

hospitalized daughter, a son's abs­cessed tooth, two birthdays, cartrouble, an obscene phone callerhitting another daughter's phoneat 3 a.m., and on and on.

Obviously, I looked a bit ragged.Exactly what I needed was a"friend" to bump into me in a hall­way at work and exclaim, aghast,"My God, Toni, you've got linesunder your eyes. Get some vitaminE cream. It won't take away thelines, but it will help to blend themso you won't look so baaaaad.. ."

"Thank you, friend," I said. "Allwell and good for you. No child­ren, plenty of money. You've gotthe time to be a vitamin Ejunkie. Idon't. Why don't we trade placesfor 24 hours? You can be me, lhe

I have always romanticized aboutV-pick berry fields. Youjust knowthe people out there with strawhats and extra large T-shirts areenjoying the cool berry plants andlooking forward to slicing the freshfruit into a bowl of cream or ontoice cream when they get home.

Later as a family they will cleanthe berries and make jam for thewinter. In winter everyone will sitaround the breakfast table spread­ing the jam an.d sharing warm sto­ries ofputting up the berries monthsearlier. A soft John Denver songwill be playing in the background.

That's what I told my friend,Robin, to get her to go V-pickingwith me. Besides, I pointed out,picking strawberries is a lot cheaperthan buying them in the store.

"I'm your row boss," this womanwith hands like rock crabs told uswhen we arrived. "There's a oneflat minimum. Don't leave littleberries. Pick 'em all. If mothernature calls, you can answer overthere." She pointed across the field.I could barely make out a phone­booth structure.

"Didn't she play the cruel chain

drudge, and I'll be you, the prin­cess. Then we'll do the mirror testfor wrinkles."

I squelched her beautifully ­but when she was long out of earrange.

I used, to think my mental con­versations were a copout, a kind ofcowardice that kept me fromvocalizing my thoughts directly tothe offending person.

But over the years I have cometo see a kind of wisdom in thesilent technique. It allows you to"turn the other cheek" but withoutsuffering the psychological sideeffects of suppressing anger -likeulcers, colitis and headaches - orthe practical side effects of tellingsomeone off, which can cost you ajob or a friend.

gang leader in "Cool Hand Luke',?Robin whispered under her breath.

Strawberry plants look muchtaller from the road than when youare bending over them.

"The last time my lower backfelt like this I was begging myobstetrician for a spinal," Robinsaid.

"Have you tried a berry yet?" Iasked, trying to take her mind offher back.

"Yeah. I think it would havetasted good, but the grinding soundfrom the grit on it was distracting."

"You hoo," called another pickerfrom a nearby row. "Have yougirls done this before?"

"First time," I called back."Then you probably wouldn't

know how to get slug and gras­shopper stains out of the knees ofyour pants, would you? I'll betthat's why you wore shorts."

Robin popped up straight like apiece of toast and handed me herberry box. Her back must have feltmuch better because she clearedtwo rows at a time bouncing backto the car. I had this feeling shewasn't going to want to go V­picking raspberries with me.

She returned to Maryland afterSaturday's profession to continuethat work. She said that she tookher vows in the Fall River diocesesince there are more Sacred Heartssisters here than in Maryland andsome of them are too elderly totravel.

Sister Margarita, SS.CC., sister­in-charge at the House of Prayer,enthusiastically welcomes SisterMarion as a fully-professed con- _temporary.

"We are most happy to haveher," she said. "She's very quali­fied."

Sister Margarita notes that it'swonderful to have a new sisterwith so much life experience.

"She's come to teach us," shesaid.

"We teach each other," SisterMarion interjected.

Sister Marion urges older adultswho are considering religious lifenot to hesitate to seek information.

"I'm thankful to God," she said,"that he has called me to this lifeand made it possible for me to fol­low it."

Named observer

The happy, energetic and brightwoman has recently spent most ofher time visiting, counseling andtutoring prisoners in a District ofColumbia jail, working for a Cath­olic justice and peace group and ata shelter for homeless women andmaking Eucharistic visits to thesick and shut-ins.

NEWARK, N.J. (NC) - Arch­bishop Theodore E. McCarrick ofNewark has been appointed anobserver to the Commission onSec~rity and Co~peration inEurope for an upcoming commis­sion trip to Romania and Poland.

The commission, headed byRep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., over­sees compliance with the Helsinkiaccords on human rights. Itsmembers include almost two dozenmembers of Congress.

Archbishop McCarrick will jointhe group on Aug. 24 in Poland..

The commission's expectedagenda includes discussions on awide variety of human rights issueswith officials, church representa­tives and private citizens ofRomania and Poland.

"Their ad just seemed to tell me'This is it,' " she said, noting thather lifelong devotion to the SacredHearts of Jesus and Mary and thefact that both men and womencould join the order helped hermake her final decision.

In November, 1980, the widowwent to Mt. Rainier, Maryland, tojoin the order as a postulant, or"seeker."

Her family' was supportive, shesaid. "They think it's fine if it'swhat I want. They think it's great."

After about eight months, sheentered as a novice, and in 1983professed temporary vows.

"It's funny," she smiled. "I used. to pray for one of my children (allare married) to enter religious life.

"I didn't think it would be me,"she said, stressing that she hadalways believed. that religiousorders were only interested inyounger vocations. . .

Sister Marion Storjohann,SS.Ce., professed final vows as aSacred Hearts sister at a Massoffered Saturday on the groundsof her order's House of Prayer andretirement home on Hood Streetin Fall River.

The Sisters of the Sacred Heartserve the Fall River diocese onHood Street and at St. Joseph par­ish and school, Fairhaven.

For Sister Marion, her orderand the church, her vows, ofcourse,are cause for celebration. All suchcommitments are.

The nun's family was in FallRiver to celebrate, too. When youconsider that her family includestwo sons, two daughters and 11grandchildren, though, things getpretty interesting.

•• • •Sister Marion, 72, was born and

raised in New York City. Thethen-Marion Palmer had alwayswanted to be a religious, but herparents were against that life-choice"because they felt they would belosing me, their only daughter,and it was too hard a life."

Honoring their wishes, by age19 or 20 she "gave up the idea."She wed Louis Storjohann in 1938and enjoyed their happy marriageuntil his 1976 death.

The couple lived on Long Islandand raised childre'n Audrey, Alan,Arlene and Wayne, three of whomstill make their homes there. Thelast years of their life together werespent in northern Vermont, whereSister Marion remained for fiveyears after Louis' death.

All during the marriage, SisterMarion said, "it seems I was alwaysseeking the nearest I could get toreligious life." She became a Secu­lar Franciscan, she said, and wasalways an active Catholic.

After being widowed, knowingthat her vocation was as strong asever, she began "seeking," writingto various religious orders forinformation. And when she readabout the sisters, fathers and broth­ers of the Sacred Hearts, some­thing rang a bell.

We Shall Live"If we are dead with Christ, we

believe' that we shall live alsotogether with Christ." - Rom. 6:8

L'Osservatore hitsI,OOOth editionVATICAN CITY (NC) - Do­

minican Father Lambert Greenanunbuttoned his collar and leanedback on his chair as he proofreadpage I of the Aug. 10 Englishweekly edition of L'OsservatoreRomano.

The issue was the tabloid news­paper's 1,000th edition.

To mark the event, page I wasdominated by a photograph ofPope John Paul II. Below thephoto was a five-line papal mes­sage, in large italic type, express­ing "deep gratitude for the exem­plary service offered to the churchby the English edition of L'Osser­vatore Romano."

Actually, popes have dominatedevery issue of the English weekly;its purpose is to publish full textsof papal speeches and Vaticandocuments. It does not print newsarticles or unofficial commentar­ies on church issues.

"We are not really a newspaper,but more a documentation serv­ice," said Father Greenan, found­ing editor of the Vatican weeklyand its only editor during its 20­year existence.

"We don't give equal time toheresy," he laughed, when asked ifthe weekly would ever publishviews contrary to papal positions.

Father Greenan was once askedif this made the weekly like Pravda,the official newspaper ofthe SovietCommunist party.

"Yes. Pravda means truth inRussian, and that would be a goodname for us," he answered.

The idea of an English weeklyedition was developed during theSecond Vatican Council by a groupof English-speaking bishops whowanted their flocks to ha~e accessto unabridged papal and Vaticantexts. .

Father Greenan said he selectsspeeches of international or uni­versal interest such as family life,ecumenism, church-state relations,sacramental life and socioeconomictopics.

Because of the volume, he andhis two other fulltime employeesare helped by English-speakingpriests and seminarians studyingin Rome to translate the texts.

Currently, the weekly has 10,000subscribers in 91 countries. Mostof the subscribers, 6,700, are in theUnited States, where a yearly air­mail subscription costs $55. Sub­scribers include bishops, priests,lay people, religious houses andlibraries.

The English edition is one ofseven weekly language editions ofL'Osservatore Romano, the Ital­ian-language Vatican daily whichruns news stories as well as papaland Vatican texts. L'OsservatoreRomano was founded July 1,1861.

Father Greenan, from NorthernIreland, was chosen as the English­language founding editor by theVatican from a list of names sub­mitted by bishops from English­speaking countries. He does notknow why he was chosen, he said.

Previously he was a canon lawprofessor at Dominican seminar­ies and a local Dominican officialin Ireland. His only journalismexperience was writing articles forDominican publications.

Almostanything

goesVATICAN CITY (NC) - What

is Pope John Paul II likely to doduring his Sept. 10-21 trip to theUnited States and Canada?

Almost anything. He loves spon­taneity and is uninhibited aboutpublic displays ofsadness and joy.

In Australia a smiling popehugged a koala.

In New Zealand he rubbed noseswith a leader of the Maori tribe.

In Chile he held his head in hishands and grimaced as police andanti-government demonstratorsengaged in bloody clashes during apapal Mass.

These images, transmittedaround the world in news photosand TV footage, show that thewhite robes of his office do nothide the human being underneath.

The current pope has human­ized a papacy previously symbol­ized by stiff formal portraits ofaristocratic-looking churchmen.Foreign trips have communicatedthis humanization process inter­nationally.

But people who have knownhim as a priest, bishop and cardi­nal say his actions as pope are acarryover of his pastoral personal­ity in Poland. He loved to get outof the office to visit his flock andtake youth groups on mountainhikes which combined spiritualmessages with physical exercise.

In fact, C.ardinal Karol Wojtylaof Krakow, Poland, was electedpope in 1978 at a time when hisfellow cardinals Were looking for apastorally 'oriented leader for theCatholic Church to break the pre­vious trend of choosing Italianmembers of the Vatican's diplo­matic corps with little or no pas­toral experience.

The present-day result is a leaderof 866 million Catholics. at easekicking up his heels on a chorusline with Australian youths, put­ting on an Indian headdress owak­ing off his shoes to pray at thetomb of India's independence lead­er, Mahatma Gandhi.

The visit to the United Statesand Canada, his 36th outside Italy,should be no different, providingits share of humanizing papalphotographs.

The pope, of course, will domore than be photogenic. As usualon papal trips, he will celebrateMasses, visit representative groupsand give speeches. His pastoralvisits are primarily teaching mis­sions in which he outlines churchbeliefs that apply to the country.:)leis visiting.

In the United States - wherethere is much Catholic dissent onpivotal issues - this may reinforcehis image as a stern disciplinarianand defender of traditional teach­ings under attack in a skepticalworld.

The pope has a long record ofdefending church prohibitionsagainst artificial means of contra­ception, married priests and womenpriests. All these are teachingswidely criticized in the UnitedStates, and the likelihood of thepope-announcing changes are nil.

But while the pope's messagewill have the long-term effect ofinfluencing future U.S. church pas­toral policies, the immediate impactof the trip on Catholics in the pewis likely to be that they will see ahuman being behind the message.

Often he speaks several weeks in arow on a specific theme, such asthe role of the laity or Marianshrines around the world.

Aftt:r the Angelus the pope maychoose to address particular issuesof concern at the moment. On thisSunday, when he prayed for floodvictims and casualties of an Iran­ian riot, the crowd turned brieflysomber.

But a woman shouted "Viva ilpapa," and the air of festivityreturned.

Because relatively few peopleare in the courtyard, the pope ismore likely to joke and to greettiny groups. Off-the-cuff remarks.to Spanish-speaking pilgrims andto 10 Polish nuns drew cheers andapplause. When he saluted a Port­uguese group which apparentlynever made it, the silence follow­ing his words of welcome pro­voked laughter from pope andvisitors.

The intimacy of the courtyardwas relative, however.

"I thought I was going to get toshake the guy's hand," said onedisappointed U.S. sailor.

The town of Castel Gandolfo isproud to be summer' host of thepopes. Drinking coffee in. a cafe inthe shadow ofthe palace, one resi­dent boasted that the town alwaysvotes Christian Democrat, theItalian party with the closest polit­ical ties to the church: this despitethe fact that the rest of the Albanhills usually votes Communist orSocialist.

This loyalty to the pontiff doesnot go unappreciated. During thetown's annual peach festival, thepope traditionally blesses the crop.

But if this pope is mindful ofancient traditions, he does notmind introducing a few of his own.Early in his pontificate, he had alarge pool built on the papal palacegrounds' and every morning hekeeps in shape by swimming.

The cost of the pool, the 67­year-old pope once remarked, isless than that of electing a newpontiff.

While waiting for the pope, agroup of Filipino nuns serenadedthe crowd with Marian songs inEnglish and Italian, intermittentlystilled by an exuberant youth groupfrom Mexico and finally drownedout completely by the castanets ofthe Spaniards as they spontane­ously danced before bemused Vat­ican security officials and SwissGuards.

At the stroke of noon, precededby a royal flourish of Gandolfantrumpets, the pope stepped onto ashaded. second-floor balconydraped with a tapestry bearing thepapal coat ofarms. He was greetedby prolonged applause and a flut­ter of flags and banners.

Before praying the Angelus, thepope briefly addressed the crowd.

one exception is the regular Sun­day Angelus address.

Pilgrims arriving in the town'smain square early enough on sum­mer Sundays are admitted to acourtyard just inside the palace,where they can experience a rela­tively intimate glimpse of the popeas he prays the Angelus and jokeswith the crowd.

Only about 1,000 people areallowed into the courtyard whendoors open at II a.m.

On a recent Sunday the surge ofpeople onto the palace groundsincluded a group of Catholics fromSt. Louis; about 100 officers andmen from the U.S. Sixth Fleet sta­tioned in Naples, Italy; a Spanishfolk-dancing group complete withcastanets; several groups ofguitar­wielding pilgrims trying to outsingeach other in a cacophony ofpraise; and a retinue of trumpet­bearing Gandolfans in medievalcostume.

The pope's summer getaway spotVATICAN CITY (NC) - When

it comes to summergetaways, PopeJohn Paul II is a traditionalist.

Like almost everyone of hispredecessors since 1624, the popeheads for the hills: fleeing thesummer swelter of Rome for thecool of the papal palace in Castel'Gandolfo, Italy.

Perched in the Alban hills sur­rounding Lake Albano, CastelGandolfo has been a historic retreat ­for Romans seeking ways to beatthe heat.

Originally known as Alba Longa,the town was settled before thefounding of Rome, with whom iteventually lost a struggle for re­gional dominance.

But the victorious Romans ap­preciated the cool breezes of theregion, and the present papal palaceis located on the site of the RomanEmperor Domitian's first-centurysummer villa.

Castel Gandolfo today bears thename of a wealthy Genoa family,the Gandulfi, who built a castlethere in 816. Eventually the townbecame part ofthe papal holdings,and in the 17thcentury Pope UrbanVIII ordered the construction of asummer palace.

The spacious grounds of thepapal palace dominate the hill,and the dome of the Vatican Ob­servatory located on the groundscan be seen for miles. When thepalace grounds are combined withtwo other Vatican-owned villasnearby, the pope has about 100acres of wooded walks, fountains,neatly trimmed lawns and, aboveall, peace and quiet.

Earlier popes arrived in CastelGandolfo by carriage or car, andsome of the town's 4,000 residentsrecall lining up to greet Pope PiusXII when he arrived for his summerrepose.

Today, however, the Vatican'smost well-traveled pope uses ahelicopter to hop to and from Vat­ican City, IS miles to the northwest.

While there is little chance foranyone other than papal aides andguests to enter the palace grounds,

Clogged roadsWASHINGTON (NC) - All

roads in Florida will lead to MiamiSept. 10 and II as Pope John PaulII begins his second pastoral visitto the United States, but thoseroads will be clogged, city officialspredicted. Diocesan and city offi­cials said a shortage of availablebuses for transporting people fromthe Archdiocese of Miami andother Florida dioceses will meanmore cars, clogged streets and aneed for more parking spaces. InColumbia, S.C., travelers to thecity are being advised to arriveseveral hours before the pope inorder to avoid traffic congestion.

He said many have close friendsor relatives in San Antonio andwill stay at their homes during thepapal event.

"I expect there will be wall-to­wall sleeping in some houses," saidFather Lawrence J. Steubben, co­ordinator of the Texas papal visit.

In addition to the invitation sentby way of Mexico's bishops, Al­maraz said, his committee has sentpress releases to major Mexicannewspapers inviting pilgrims toSan Antonio.

As of early August, 19 bishopsand one cardinal had announcedplans to come from Mexico for thepapal visit, Almaraz said.

Ortiz said he does not anticipatethere will be an increase in attemptsto illegally cross the border beforeor during the papal visit.

"If there are, the border patrolwill certainly be in a position torespond," he said.

the outdoor papal Mass Sept. 13."We recognize a lot of Mexican

nationals are going to want tomake legal entry during the two tothree days prior to the pope's arri­val" said Mario Ortiz, spokesmanfor'the southern region of Immi­gration and Naturaliz~tionS.ervice,in a recent telephone mterview.

San Antonio is about ISO milesfrom the U.S.-Mexico border.

Archbishop Patrick Flores ofSan Antonio has sent a letter tothe Mexican bishops inviting themto San Antonio and asking themto disseminate papal visit informa­tion through their respective dio­ceses.

"Historically, Texas and Mex­ico have formed the corridor bywhich the Catholic faith came intothe Southwest," said Felix D.Almaraz, Jr., who chairs the Mex­ico Relations Committee formedby the Texas papal visit office.

Noting that Texas and Mexicoshare a common border and wereonce part of the same country,Almaraz said it was seen as "natu­rally desirable" to invite the state'sMexican neighbors to come toSan Antoilio~

Although two other cities thepontiff will visit - Los Angelesand Phoenix.. Ariz. - are alsoabout ISO miles from the U.S.­Mexico border, Almaraz saidchurch officials do not expect aninflux of Mexicans in those cities.

"Mexican pilgrims feel comfort­able in Texas because ofthe nameofthe town, they feel like they arecoming into their own ambiance.They flow easily in and out," saidAlmaraz, a history professor at theUniversity of Texas-San Antonio.

, WASHINGTON (NC) - Fed­eral immigration officials antici­pate as many as 150,000 Mexicanswill seek permission to cross theborder to see the pope in SariAntonio, Texas.

San Antonio church officials,who have invited t-he Mexicans tocome, offer a slightly more con­servative estimate. They say 100,000may enter the country to partici­pate in activities surrounding thePope John Paul II's Sept. 13-14stay in their city.

If that many Mexicans do come,they could amount to one-fifth ofthe expected crowd of 500,000 at

but it can also have a healthy psy­chological impact on the players,they said.

Richard Crowley, who handlesits mail sales and sees letters com­menting on the game, said he wassurprised at "how many teenagerslike to play it with their parents.

He called it a "humanizingexperience" as the younger gener­ation discovers some of the thingsthe parents did when they were inschool.

John Crowley said that whenpeople get an oppqrtunity to"share their own nostalgia" aboutthe church and laugh with othersabout it, "if they had negative feel­ings, sometimes these become lessnegative. If they blamed the church(for an unpleasant episode), some­times they are able to see their ownrole. It opens up some doors."

TORONTO (NC) - TheSupreme Court of Canada hasagreed to hear a case presented byJoe Borowski, a leading pro-lifecampaigner, challenging the con­stitutionality of Canada's abortionlaws.

Its decision will allow Borowskito appeal an earlier SaskatchewanCourt of Appeal ruling against hisargument that unborn childrenhave the right to protection underthe Canadian Chapter of Rightsand Freedoms.

Borowski, a former Manitobaprovincial cabinet minister, arguesthat the charter's protection underthe law "for everyone" also ap­plied to unborn children. He chal­lenges the constitutionality of 1969amendments to the CanadianCriminal Code allowing abortions.J
