Death PenaltyUse Denounced

LONDON - ( N C ) - AmnestyInternational has denounced the"growing use of the death penaltyand recourse to murder and kid-napping to eliminate political op-position" in its annual reportpublished in London Dec. 9.

The human rights organization'sreport described violations ofhuman rights in 100 countries andadded that "despite the release of

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, famousspeaker and media "star", died thisweek. Story Page 4.

many political prisoners in some ofthem, arbitrary arrests, politicalimprisonment, torture and the use ofthe death penalty continue to be themain area of abuse of humanrights."

Amnesty's report reviewedcountries in Africa, the Americas,Europe and the Middle East, andencompassed infringements incountries of vastly differingideologies and political systems.

In Africa, Amnesty noted withsatisfaction the end of Idi Amin'sreign in Uganda and the release ofnumerous political prisoners inKenya, Angola, Guinea, and Tan-zania. But it emphasized thatpolitical repression continues inZimbabwe, South Africa, Mozam-bique, Ethiopia and other Africancountries.

The Nobel -Prize-winningorganization saw Latin America as abasically unsatisfactory area andcondemned the disappearance ofpolitical activists in Chile, Argen-tina, El Salvador and Mexico.

Afghanistan, Bang ladesh ,China, Indonesia, Malaysia,Singapore and Taiwan weredenounced for handing out longprison sentences without formaltrials, and "political" executionswere recorded for Pakistan, Chinaand Taiwan.

As in past years, Amnestycondemned the governments of theSoviet Union and other Eastern

European countries for continuedpersecution of dissidents andreligious activists, while it alsonoted with some concern a growingrepression in Western Europe.

In Italy, for instance, Amnestysaid that "increased politicalviolence has provoked a reactionfrom the Italian government, and its

special powers of detention con-tinue to be a cause of concern."Amnesty noted a general tendencyof the government to adopt vaguelydefined exceptional measures whichcould be used to repress politicalminorities. The organization said ithad received reports that someprisoners were maltreated in Italianjails and police stations.

Archbishop Lauds Irish PeopleThe following is the text of the

homily given by Archbishop EdwardA. McCarthy at a Mass at which heordained Father Joseph Hayes inthe Chapel of Maynooth College,Ireland, on November 21.

On the joyous occasion as wegather for the ordination of JoeHayes in Maynooth College, we arereminded of the contribution whichthis centuries-old seminary hasmade to the world as an institution oflearning and a bastion of Gospelvalues.

Joe Hayes' ordination typifiesthe activity of not only Maynooth,but of all our Irish seminarieswhose roots go back in history to thatproud era which earned for Irelandthe title of "Island of Saints andScholars". The man after whom thisgreat college is named, inspired theIrish with his own apostolic zeal and

missionary spirit and the Irish wereknown as "Peregrini pro Christo" -Wanderers for Christ.

BECAUSE FAITH in Christ wasextraordinarily alive in Ireland,men set out for the Christianconquest of Europe giving them-selves wholeheartedly to thissublime task. This land, justrecently baptized, d reamed ofgiving Christ back to the world. Ithas been said that Ireland betweenthe 5th and 8th century, was like asecond Palestine, like a new cradleof Christian faith.

Irish emigrants all over theworld gave their sons and daughtersto be priests and nuns in the churchof God. There are about 2,000churches dedicated to St. Patrick inthe world today. Four hundred andseventy are in the U.S.A., includingfive of our cathedrals.

The influx of Irish immigrants

to North America during thenineteenth century is welldocumented by Father John TracyEllis, the church historian.Approximately two millionimmigrants swelled the ranks of theCatholic Church, and as early as the1840 's their sons moved intopositions of leadership in theCatholic hierarchy. During the 150year period, from 1789 when JohnCarroll was nominated first bishopof Baltimore, to 1939, over 100American Bishops were of Irish-birth, and approximately 200 othersbore distinctly Irish names.

The worl' at large has been thebeneficiary of Irish priests andReligious and North America inparticular, attracted Irish clericsbecause of its own peculiar needs.Ellis in his writings, singles out butone of the Irish seminaries, AllHallows College, Dublin, and states

that it had educated tourteen (14)bishops and one thousand seventysix (1,076) priests for the Americanchurch alone.

IRELAND CAN be especiallyproud of the contribution it has madeto the church in Florida. FatherEllis states that it was principallythe priests of Irish birth who gaveCatholicism in Florida whatevervibrancy it had from the year 1597,when Richard Arthur, an Irishpriest, was appointed the pastor ofthe First parish in the city of St.Augustine, to 1822.

At the present time, the fivedioceses which constitute themetropolitan province of Floridadepend heavily on Irish-born prieststo minister to the needs of a fast-growing population and a developingchurch. In those five dioceses thereare 659 incardinated priests of which226 are Irish-born and educated.

My beloved in Christ:In my letter last week, I told you

about the First Mass of FatherJoseph Hayes, whom I ordained inIreland. I was delighted on thatoccasion to have the opportunity tomeet members of the families ofmany of the priests of our Arch-diocese. Four of our priests comefrom the very parish of Clarecastle,where the First Mass wascelebrated (Monsignor Enright,Monsignor Michael Fogarty, FatherHanly and Father Hayes). Eighteenof our priests come from the generalarea (the Dioceses of Killaloe andGalway). What a joy it was to meetmembers of the families of Mon-signor Enright, Monsignor NoelFogarty, Monsignor JudeO'Doherty, Fathers Hannon, Quinn,Murnane, Organ, McDonnell,Foudy, Hanly, Hickey and Vaughan.

MONSIGNOR DEVER and Ivisited those seminaries where wenow have seminarians (five-one wasaccepted on this trip) or where theIrish born priests of our Archdiocesehad studied. We enjoyed viewingordination class pictures of ourpriests in their younger, leaneryears, gracing the walls ofMaynooth and All HallowsSeminaries in Dublin, as well as ofSeminaries in Carlow, Wexford,Waterford, Thurles and Kilkenny. Ialso enjoyed stories of the youthfulexploits of our priests that will standme in good stead!

I was much impressed by theSeminaries (as I am by theiralumni!). They strike me as beinghouses with long traditions ofserious commitment to learning andto prayer. In several, older chapelshave been renovated to conform tothe best contemporary standards of

liturgical architecture. TheSeminary at Carlow, which likemost has had a decliningenrollment, now houses a highlyinteresting national LiturgicalInstitute sponsored by the IrishBishops. On that occasion of ourvisit, thirty diocesan priests wereparticipating in a week program ofliturgical renewal studies. Therewas another group of about thirtypriests, religious and laity, includingsome Americans, engaged in a year-long program of liturgical studies.This liturgical interest is alsorevealed in the contemporary ar-chitecture of the many new churchesbeing built in Ireland. At theSeminary in Kilkenny we visited asmall television studio where theseminarians have an opportunity toreview and criticize their speakingperformance on videotape and toprepare films to be used incatechesis.

I WAS ESPEICALLY im-pressed by the heartwarming in-terest that the Rectors and Facultiesof each Seminary showed in thewelfare of their priest alumni nowserving in Miami. Many of theRectors and Faculty members havevisited our priests and even giventemporary service in our parishes.They are quite familiar with ourArchdiocese. They evidently followthe priests and diocesan eventsclosely. They read The Voice. Theyeagerly ask how each individualpriest is faring.

Ireland seems to be prosperingsince entering the EuropeanCommon Market. One indication isthe improved highways and thehuge trucks and many cars you findon them. Its deep religious Faithbeautifully pervades the Irish

culture, from the saints' namesapplied to streets and inns to thegentle good humor and spirit ofhelpfulness, to the many churches,monasteries and convents, to thelovely shrines of Our Lady along thehighways.

I unexpectedly found myselfhaving a wedding in Castlemaine,just outside of Killarney. Myrelatives live there and I arrivedjust as one, Kevin Murphy, wasabout to take a young and lovelycolleen as his wedded wife. I endedup officiating. It was an excellentopportunity to visit with all myrelatives who gathered for theceremony. I am not really sure howwe are related, but that seems to beonly an incidental! Monsignor JohnO'Dowd (Epiphany Parish) is also aproud son of Castlemain. His brothercame to the wedding, so I had theopportunity to visit with him, as I didwith Monsignor John Delaney'smother, who is in a nursing homethat was once a castle, and withMonsignor Bryan Walsh's parents.

We also greeted by phone thefamilies of Father MichaelHourigan, Father Ed Whyte andFather Tim Lynch. The mother ofFathers Brian and Brendan Daltonwas not at home, she recently hadsurgery. We missed seeing ourretired priest, Father JohnKellaghan, who was not at homewhen we passed through Mullingar.Nor did we have an opportunity inMullingar to greet the families ofFather Tony Mulderry or the lateFather Tom McDermott, thepopular young Irish priest of ourArchdiocese who passed away a fewyears ago. We did see Father TomNolan in Dublin, a priest of ourArchdiocese disabled in anautomobile accident here in Miami a

By ABP. EDWARD A. MCCARTHY —few years ago. He is makingprogress in recovery, thank God.

WE HAD AN enjoyable over-night visit with MonsignorDever's lovely mother and family onthe rugged west coast, in Mayo, nearCroagh Patrick, the famous St.Patrick's pilgrimage mountain. TheIrish speak of rain as "soft," buteven Monsignor Dever had to admitthat the cold, howling, blowing rainof his coastal village of Achill wasn'tall that "soft." Monsignor and Icelebrated Sunday Mass in a remotemission church on the windsweptcoastal hills. The storm had blownwires down, so we had neither heat,nor light, nor sound. But the warmthof the devotion of the people morethan compensated for that.

We visited, of course, the Shrineof Knock in Mayo, where Our Ladyappeared one hundred years ago.This had been the center of the HolyFather's visit to Ireland. It is themuch visited Ireland's nationalShrine of Our Lady. At this point,my niece and a friend, who areRosary College students (Chicago)studying in London this semester,had joined me. They were on theway to Limerick. We asked OurLady to look after them. Obligingly,the priest asked the congregation ifany of the pilgrims were going thatway (some 80 miles away) whomight take the young women withthem. Hardly had the words beenspoken than a family volunteered totake them. Our Lady of Knockmoves fast!

Devotedly Yours in Christ,

Edward A. McCarthyArchbishop of Miami

Bishop Snyder Installed in St. AugustineST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.

-(NC)— With much hand-shaking and applause, BishopJohn J. Snyder was installedDec. 5 as the eighth bishop ofthe Diocese of St. Augustinein a Mass and ceremony atthe Cathedral Basilica of St.Augustine.

The bishop's homily wasinterrupted by applause 15times, and once by shouting.When he said his first priorityis to proclaim Jesus Christ asLord, and to do that is "toreach out and minister topeople where they are at andnot where we might wishthem to be," a woman stoodup, raised her hands over her

head and shouted "HallelujahJesus!"

She was applauded by the1,100 people crowded into thechurch that normally seats850.

Bishop Snyder continued,"Healing must find concreteexpression in our concern forthe handicapped andretarded. To bind up and toheal has to be reflected in ourattitudes toward the divorcedand separated; by ouropenness to those who havebecome alienated from, andperhaps by, the church."

His ministry, BishopSnyder said, would aim to"integrate more fully into the

life of the church the diver-sified and much needed giftsof our women and thosemembers of the communitywho have a vocation to singlelife, as well as those who wereonce active in ordainedministry or religious life."

Lay ministers, both menand women, assisted indistributing Communion atthe Mass.

Archbishop Edward A.McCarthy, in remarks priorto the Mass, said: "As theleader, may you have theears to listen to the needs andsuggestions of your priestsand faithful. May you havethe farsightedness —and the Bishop John J. Snyder

nearsightedness —to set thedirections for your pilgrimpeople, the skill to unify andcoordinate their efforts, thespirit and zeal to inspirethem, to encourage them, toaffirm them, to recognize andacclaim their goodness, theirstrengths, as you also ten-derly warn them of theirshortcomings.

"May your high priestlyhands ever be lifted in prayerfor them and with them.

"MAY YOUR heart beever great enough to shareyour burdens with them, totrust them, to enable them torealize the enormous

The Eloquent Abp. Sheen Laid to RestNEW YORK -4NC)-

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen,foremost Catholic preacherand one of the most powerfulspeakers of his time, wasmemorialized by religiousand political leaders thisweek, and buried in St.Patrick Cathedral Crypt afterthe funeral Mass Thursday,with the chief concelebrantbeing Cardinal TerrenceCook.

Archbishop Sheen rose tonational prominence in the1950s as host of a weeklytelevision program, "Life isworth living," which by 1956was reaching 30 millionpeople a week. His mailaveraged from 8,000 to10,000 letters a day, with ahigh of 30,000.

The series, which at itsheight topped in popularitythe "Milton Berle Show,"with which it competed forvieweres, ended in 1957.

Although it was televisionthat brought him to generalprominence, he had been foryears a major figure inacademic circles. He was a

be said that he imitated thegreat English journalist'sdevices. Chesterton in turnpraised the younger man'swork.

In 1930 he showed hisChestertonian streak in anarticle entitled "A Plea forIntolerance," which held thatthe United States was notplagued by bigotry so muchas it was plagued by the"weird fungus of broad-mindedness." "A bigotedman is one who refuses toaccept a reason for anything,a broadminded man is onewho will accept anything for areason, providing it is not agood reason."

He maintained thisstylistic device throughouthis career. In 1969, at a Massfor peace in the NationalShrine of the ImmaculateConception during theNovember meeting of theU.S. bishops, he said: "Thecross without Christ is theconcentration camp, thepolice state and slavery.Christ without the cross iseffeminacy, degeneration,LSD and mysticism whichsettles for Pharmaceuticalsinstead of sacrifice."

But it was his skill as aspeaker first on radio andthen on television thatbrought him national fame.

In the fall of 1951, BishopSheen, who had been or-dained a bishop the previousJuneinRome,began his "LifeIs Worth Living" televisionseries. By 1956, he was ap-pearing on 123 ABC-TVstations around the country.It was estimated that hereached 30 million people aweek.

He also wrote a columnentitled "God Love You" forthe Catholic press and onecalled "Bishop SheenSpeaks" for secularnewspapers.

Tribunal'-What Does It Mean?By GERARD E. SHERRY

Tribunal ! Officials!These terms conjure up allkinds of ominous thoughts inany society, but especially inthe Church. Yet the termsactually denote one of themost important servicesrendered within the Arch-diocese.

We visited the Tribunalthe other day and saw theOfficialis, Msgr. Francis J.Fazzalaro, J.C.D., who is alsoPastor of St. LawrenceChurch, North Miami Beach.We discussed the office andthe work and came away withanything but ominousthoughts.

"CHURCH TRIBUNALSas such have much broaderpowers than those justrelating to marriage," Msgr.Fazzalaro said. "Yet inpractice marriage ad-judication becomes our work.

"The Tribunal is theextension of the Bishop'sauthority to judge aboutmarriages. While he, per-sonally, does not enter intothe direct processing of suchcases, the law permits anofficial acting in his nameand with his equivocal powerto make judgments about thevalidity of marriage in thename of the Archbishop.

"It is an authority whichis judicial. Basically, it is apower of judging the validityof a marriage. In practice, wespeak of the MatrimonialTribunal and deal withmatrimonial matters ex-clusively. However, we havenothing to do with domesticcounseling. We are concernedwith the application of theChurch's law and theology ofmarriage with regard to thisparticular are*.

"In practice it does nothave any other function. Butthe law does empower theTribunal to act in a judicialcapacity with regard to any ofthe rights of individuals.More recently, however,those particular concerns ofthe contemporary Churchhave been handled byspecial processes ofmachinery or personnel,specifically charged, forexample, with such mattersas due process, the rights ofindividuals, collegial bodies -a school, a Church, an in-stitution —so that technicallyand juridically, while theTribunal indeed does havebroader powers, the totalthrust of our operation is inthe area of marriage."

MSGR. FAZZALAROsaid that his title, Officialis,"is best translated as ChiefJustice." He added:

"It is my administrativeduty to operate the fullTribunal and it's my judicialduty to take cognizance offormal petitions which arepresented to determine if thatpetition is to be accepted orrejected —if rejected, to givereasons; if accepted, then toassign the necessary per-sonnel to process the case.Therefore, there areassociate judges. While I maybe the chief judge, we havepresently operating threeother judges. We certainlyneed more. Our Tribunal alsois a bit unique, I think, in therespect that we are capable ofprocessing cases totally inSpanish, as well as English,and this requires that ourpersonnel in large measurebe bi-lingual."

Msgr. Fazzalaro said thatbecause the whole procedureinvolves the rights of in-

dividuals, "everything isdone by the law to protectthese rights —the rights ofthe petitioner, the rights ofthe respondent, the rights ofthe children.

"Also , because marriageis a social sacrament, therights of society, and therights of the petitioner areacknowledged in that everyperson has a right to presentfor adjudication a requestconcerning his or hermarriage. The rights of therespondent are protected inthat wherever possible, therespondent is contacted tobotain his or her side of thestory.

THE RIGHTS of childrenare protected by the law itselfwhich determines that eventhough an annulment may begranted, the children born offhte marriage which has beencontested, have been andremain legitimate.

"The good of society isprotected in that there is anofficer of the court called theDefender of the Bond who isspecifically charged with theresponsibility of presentingall reasonable arguments intis defense.

"The petitioner maychoose any one of ourAdvocates. The Advocate ischarged by law with present-ing the rights by law, andalso presenting a briefargument with the ap-plication. The respondent hasthe right by law to protec-tion."

How does one begin anannulment? Well, you have togo through your parish priest,because the Tribunal does notnormally entertain requestsfor an annulment or any othermatter regarding thefreedom to marry. Once you

Monitoring TV ProgramsLast week's Voice included an up-to-

date supplement on "T.V. and Movie Factsfor Parents." It was provided as a serviceto our readers and as a handy pull-outsection to keep for reference in relationto the movies to be shown on T.V. andtheir suitability for family viewing.

Parents and educators have greatresponsibility when it comes to permittingyoung, immature minds to view some ofthe muck which is fostered on them asT.V. and movie fare. For that matter,much of what is offered is hardly suitablefor adults.

It is also obvious that parents can domore in demanding of the networks andthose who advertise on T.V. to put anend to the proselytizing of immoral pro-grams and movies. Last week's issue ofAdvertising Age noted the power of con-cerned parents when it declared that ad-vertisers were getting quite worried overthe glut of sex-themed T.V. shows, in-cluding movies.

For example, a recent ABC Sundaynight movie, "Love for Rent," had a rashor last-minute sponsor defections becauseof the questionable morality of the movie.These days the violence that had beenone of the problems of the past has ge-nerally faded from the T.V. screen. But anover-emphasis on sex has become thenew issue.

One agency executive told AdvertisingAge that the National Federation ofDecency "precedent-setting" boycottof Sears Roebuck "scared the hell out ofa lot of people and showed advertiserswill back off when they are pressedagainst the wall."

Boycotts of advertisers can work insome cases, but there are far more effectiveways of dealing with the problem. The

first is, of course, that parents shouldmonitor what their children view on theT.V., or at the cinema. If the parents can-not control their youngsters in this regard,then there is something wrong with thefamily.

Another effective way is to let adver-tisers know that their sponsorship of sex-

themed T.V. programs is harming thefamily and the nation. If parents and allother concerned citizens did this, therewould be no necessity for boycotts. AsAdvertising Age notes, the sponsors soonget the message and look for and demandmore wholesome programs on which toadvertise ther products.

TalentsThe death of Archbishop Fulton J.

Sheen, former Bishop of Rochester, leavesa void in the ranks of American Churchleadership.

Archbishop Sheen was not only ascholar, but more importantly, one of thefinest communicators the American Churchhas ever had. It was he who used thespecial talents that God had bestowed uponhim, not merely to defend the Faith, butalso to promote it-as a teacher, as a bishop,and as an orator.

Every speech, every pastoral, everyhomily, was well prepared. He saw theneed for communication whether it wasonly in listening or exhorting, and he knew

how to use the Communications Media.He had his talents and he used them. Thereare others who have similar talents whodon't use them.

Archbishop Sheen will be rememberedfor his contributions as an educator, for hisknowledgeable use of radio and T.V., forthe pertinence of his books. But he will bemainly remembered most as a loyal son ofthe Church who didn't waste his talents-whether it be as the Director of the NationalSociety for the Propagation of the Faith, asthe shepherd of a flock, or as a retired Bishop.

We commend him to the Lord and theprayers of our readers, fully confident thathe is now among the elect enjoying thefruits of eternal life.

May I congratulate Archbishop McCarthyfor his active involvement in the human rightsissues in Dade County.

Maythe Archbishop be blessed with fortitude anda happy and healthy life!

Whose VicarTo the Editor:

The key to Kung's interim appraisal of JohnPaul II, summarized in your issue of October 26but not included in it, is the expression "whose'vicar' this Pope also claims to be."

A Catholic writer would express himself withthe words whose vicar HE IS.Because he i -not aCatholic, Kung can question whether this Popereally has ' 'the message of that one person behindhim in everything he so vehemently advocates indogma and morals."

I am shocked that NC would circulate andthat you would publicsh the mouthings of a manwho does not affirm the vicarship of the Pope andthe validity of his teaching.

How long must we wait for our ownAmerican Bishops to condemn and the CatholicPress to shun the Fifth Column that seeks todestroy Catholic unity by constant attack on theMagisterium. of the Church?

In the current issue (Sept. 28 ) of The Voice,your lead Editorial established "the AmericanCatholic Church's most respected livinghistorian" as Msgr. John Tracy Ellis.

I most respectfully ask our ArchbishopEdward A. McCarthy, President of The Voice, toassure us that he is indeed an Archbishop in theHoly Roman Catholic Church, and that he willnot condone or permit any further reference tosome entity called "the American CatholicChurch" as established in your Editorial. Or dowe now add to the marks of the Catholic Church,that it is one, holy, Catholic, apostolic andAmerican? There are enough signs of incipientheresy in our "New Church" without plantingthe seed, intentionally or otherwise, of incipientschism aticism.

I would like to see Archbishop McCarthy'scomment appear in the "Letters to the Editor'ssection intthe reasonably near future.

Paradise Not to Be Found on Earth

.By MSGR. JAMES I . WALSH.

More than any other time ofyear, Christmas highlights man'srestless craving to be happy.However greatly people may differin character, culture, race andconvictions about life, they share thevery same consuming desire forhappiness.

Every man must have hisparadise. And whether he looks forit on earth or hereafter, all histhoughts and efforts and hopes aredirected to the search.

HE CAN no more tear out of hisheart this yearning than the rose canrefuse the warmth of the sun. It's anessential part of his nature, thedeliberate doing of his Creator. Inmaking man to his image andlikeness, God designed the heart forhimself. He made it in such a waythat it would never cease seeking tobe satisfied as long as human lifelasted.

Fifteen hundred years ago,Augustine expressed it concisely."You have made us for yourself, OLord, and our hearts are restless tillthey rest in you."

In the beginning, Adam and Eveenjoyed perfect natural happinessand saw themselves as lords of anearthly paradise. And yet hediscovered deeper yearnings whichoverlapped the garden of Eden.There was this irresistible attractionto a happiness and dignity andrelationship greater than natural.He found himself longing for God'sinfinite love and for a lasting

paradise.

It seems so incredible that,while he was blessed with morecontentment than any of hisdescendants ever enjoyed, he blew itall by deliberately seeking to satisfythese intense, never-ending longingsapart from the God who made him.So, poor Adam lost his paradise onearth. Worse yet, he lost his right tothe eternal paradise of heaven forwhich reason alone he was created.

Genesis related that the angelwith the flaming sword was placedat the gate of Eden to bar entrance.Then God decreed that henceforthno one shall find his paradise onearth. Only when the second Adamaccomplished the work of redemp-tion would the gates of the eternalparadise be opened and longings forendless joy and love and peace besatisfied.

We still feel, sometimes to adesperate degree, the chokingeffects of Adam's senselessdecision to find happiness by his ownplan instead of God's. How well weknow from daily experiencethe miserable confusion involved intrying to be happy. And all about us -on a vast scale now — men andwomen are scurrying around tryingto find the way back to that earthlyparadise. They refuse to accept thefact that it is closed forever. Theycan't bear the thought that whatthey are looking for is beyond thisearth. To them, it's a contradictionto see in death the beginning ofperfect life.

SO THEY PICK a road to Edenand follow it and for a long timeshrug off the disappointments anddisillusions and keep looking ahead.Just when they feel the.y are about totouch the gate, they discover it isn'tthere at all, and as the mirage fades,they start out again feverishly.

Gaining money has alwayslooked like the genuine road tohappiness. And where do we findless peace than among the rich whocovet more. And being known andhonored and made much of hassurely a measure of satisfaction, butlike the tree which sheds its leaves inthe fall, it all becomes bleak andtasteless.

Those who abandon themselvesto the pleasures of sex perhaps areamong the most disillusioned intime, because sooner or later thebitter realization comes that theyare further from real happiness thanever. Some immerse themselves inwork, even noble work for others.Though it fills days and nights withactivity, still so much is lacking.Those tremendous cravings,gnawing away in the human spirit,serve notice constantly they are yetunsatisfied.

IN THE SEARCH for happiness,we might divide people into threegroups.

There are those who disregardGod and his law and try vainly toconvince themselves no otherparadise can exist except the hidden

one on earth. Perhaps communists,at least their leaders, fall into thiscategory.

There are others who believe toone degree or another that earth cannever provide lasting happiness. Butthese are famed for eating theircake and wanting it too. They liveboth ways —taking no chances.

Lastly there are the ones whowaste no time running up blindalleys advertising peace and hap-piness. They look silly to others asthey scratch about for a narrowroad, blood stained and at timespainful, which winds out beyond theborder of earth and leads intoeternity. They have heard the GoodNews, the Gospel, and have taken itso seriously that the only road toparadise for them is through thegarden of Gethsemane, not thegarden of Eden.

Here, among them, do we findChristmas' meaning unchanged andbeautiful. For they believe that ifparadise is to be found anywhere,Christ must first be found. Only inhis company can we find happiness.Only by following close on his heelscan one keep to the path. Because heis the Way.

Lest this truth seem gloomy tosome, note that the happiest peoplethis Christmas will not be those whoget the most gifts or have the besttime. The happiest will be those who,like Mary, have everything inhaving Jesus with them.

One Inn Where There's Always Room

.By Fr. BAN KUBALA.

One of the heartwarmingthoughts of this beautiful season thatwe are entering is that Christmas isa great celebration of life.Regard-less of the trials and turmoils of thepreceeding days before Christmas,none can deny the emotional joy thattakes place in the hearts of familieswho gather for their Christmascelebration.

Easter, of course, is the majorsolemnity of the year. On that daywe celebrate the new life that JesusChrist won for us. But that life wehave not experienced yet and onlystill look forward to with great hope.

Christmas is the celebration of abirth. We all know of and have ex-perienced the birth of someone. Weknow the great joy of the parentsand family at the birth of a newchild. It in itself is described as amiracle — the miracle of God'shighest creation. As the angels,

shepherds and wisemen went inhaste to see the new born babe, so itis with pride that grandparents,aunts, uncles, relatives and friendswant to see the new addition to thefamily.

For almost 2,000 years Jesus'followers have turned their eyes tothe manger and have relearned ofGod's great love for the world. Welearn a great lesson of life from thatsimplistic scene.

As beautiful and heartwarmingas this scene is, though, we mustremenber the reason why it tookplace. Joseph and Mary had wan-dered the town of Bethlehemsearching for a place to stay. Theinnkeepers, of course, did not knowthat Joseph and Mary were theparents of Jesus Christ.To the inn-keepers, these travelers were onlystrangers for whom there was noroom. Joseph and Mary were forcedto find shelter in a stable.

IT CANNOT be denied that weas a whole human family share therejection of Joseph and Mary, andalso somewhat of the shame that norooms were available to them inBethlehem. We might think, "If onlyI was an innkeeper in Bethlehem, Iwould have opened my door."

During the past few months theRespect Life Office, in co-operationwith the Catholic Service Bureau,has begun an EmergencyPregnancy Service, joining those inother parts of the Diocese. Part ofthat service is providing shelter forpregnant girls and women who forone raeson or other need a place tostay.Likewise,the office encountersthe elderly and their loneliness andfears. They too often feel therejection of Joseph and Mary.

We must be honest in admittingthat the spirit of the innkeepers inBethlehem during the time of the

Miami,

visit of Joseph and Mary is still alivetoday. But, too, some people haveopened their doors and answered thecall of Jesus, "Whatsoever you do tothe least of my brothers you do tome." To those people we are verythankful for their great example.

One of the most difficult thingsis to welcome a stranger into ourhomes. We rationalize our attitudesand ask questions such as: Whatwill this person be like: how willour family react? iWhat about thechildren?; what will be the con-sequences?

We as Christians should not lookat each other as strangers but aschildren of God. If you have room inyour inn and would be willing to be ofassistance to someone with theseneeds, please call the Respect LifeOffice (653-2921). Our travelers areusually unable to pay the innkeepersfee —but you can be assured of God'sblessings and rewards.

Of Parenthood and ChildrenBy RUSSELL SHAW

"I didn't know what I wasgetting into."

People say that about manythings — marriage, work, com-mitments of all kinds. They cer-tainly say it about parenthood. Andthey are right.

IN CONFESSING that we don'tknow what we are getting into inbecoming parents, we may beowning up to carelessness or lack ofpreparation. But we may also bemaking a statement of basic fact:No one can ever know in advanceexactly what it will take to fulfill thespecific demands of a large, open-ended commitment like parenthood.

True, most of us have somegeneral idea. But, just as true, wehave little or no idea what thecrucial specifics will turn out to be.

That is important. There is acontemporary obsession —a kind ofplanned parenthood syndrome -with arranging everything in ad-vance, even before the first babyarrives on the scene. Some peopleseem to think that responsibleparenting requires them to have themoney for Junior's college

"The first, the most fundamental right ofchildhood is the right to be loved. The child comesinto the world alone, defenseless, without resour-ce. Only love can stand between his infanthelplessness and savagery of a harsh world." —Paul Hanly Furfey, "The Church and the Child,"

education in the bank before junioris more than an idea in his parents'minds.

A MUCH BETTER approach isrooted in openness. That doesn'tmean naive irresponsiblity, butmature readiness to accept andadjust to the demands that parent-hood brings with it.

For these demands will cer-tainly involve unexpected surprises,no matter what. How do you"prepare" for a child who developsa serious health problem at the ageof five,orwhoturns out to be a giftedmusician, or who in the late teensdiscovers a religious vocation?

Except by working hard todevelop qualities of mind and heart

which enable you to rise to thedemands of these and a thousandother anticipated situations —youdon't.

That is not a plea for enteringparenthood with eyes closed toreality. Much immediate and long-range preparation is required ofprospective parents. But parentingalways involves encountering theunexpected. Intelligent preparationfor parenthood absolutely demandsthat this be taken into account.

To speak in general terms,becoming a parent first and fun-damentally carries with itresponsibilities —serious obligationstoward the new being of whose very

one can ever know in advance exactly what it will take tofulfill the specific demands of a large, open-ended com-mitment like parenthood." Only minutes after birth,proud parents admire new daughter.

existence parents are the humansource.

EVERYONE ADMITS thisin theory, yet today a surprisingnumber of people ignore it, to onedegree or another, in practice.Statistics on child abuse and childneglect are symptoms of a farlarger problem - a problem focusedon the fact that many parents refuseto acknowledge their realobligations to their children or elserebel against them.

It would be a complex matter totrace all the causes of this behavior.But clearly it has much to do withthe contemporary quest, amountingto a fixation, for self-fulfillment.

There is nothing wrong with self-fulfillment, properly understood.But not a few parents, it seems,value children mainly because ofwhat children can do for them. Thechild is an expression of parentalvanity, a means of achievingambitions the parents neverachieved, or an outlet for gratifyingparental emotions.

THIS MAY BE innocent up to apoint. All parents naturally wish totake pride in their children and tofind emotional satisfaction inparenting. But these drives can bedamaging in their consequences ifbecoming a parent does not also -and mainly —mean recognizing andfulfilling grave obligations to thechild.

What kind of obligations? Onecould draw up quite a catalog andstill leave out a great deal of im-portance. But the basic obligation ofparents is to do everything in theirpower to foster the total develop-ment of their children —physical,mental and emotional.

And also spiritual. This is a pointto emphasize. Even conscientiousparents have been known to drawthe line here. They work hard fortheir children's well being. Theystrive to provide them with excellentschooling and Bnriching socialexperiences. But when it comes tospiritual development, the attitudeis —that's somebody else's job.

This is shortsighted. Respon-sible parents do not willingly allowtheir children to eat garbage or skipschool. But a surprising number ofmothers and fathers (perhapsespecially fathers) take a hands-offattitude when it comes to spiritualformation.

Shyness? Feelings of personalinadequacy? Whatever the reason,the results can be disastrous.Spiritual formation has to beginvery young. If parents don't do thejob, it won't get done.

BECOMING A PARENT in-volves a finely honed and frequentlyshifting balance —between idealswhich are lofty and clear, andconcrete deeds, in the framework ofthese ideals, which are responsive tothe present needs of real children.Not a word in all this about love?For parents, this is what loving theirchildren means.

By HELEN M. SZABLYA

I marvelled at her tiny eyes, therosebud mouth, the fuzzy, colorlessdown that someday will be her hair.I held her for the first time. Itouched her soft cheek with myfinger. My heart swelled with prideas I looked into my husband's joyousblue eyes: He put the tiny little fiststogether in his huge palm as we saidour first evening prayer as a family."Mother of God, protect her alwaysbecause you can be with her evenwhen we are unable to do so."

MARY, by becoming a parent,the mother of Jesus, became thefirst and most important helper inthe work of salvation. As I offeredmy first baby to her, I realized thatas parents we play a most importantrole not only in our own salvation butalso in that of our children and of allthose whose lives our family willtouch.

Soviet deportations made methe respected wife of a universityprofessor at age 16 and at 18 Godentrusted me with a child. Howlucky that I did not know the im-menseness of the responsibility. Itrusted in God and my natural in-stincts. Caring for a baby was new tome but my loving husband in-troduced me into parenthood.

I DON'T REMEMBER thinkingof my daily tasks as a ministry.What my mother gave me flowednaturally from me to my little girl,who was soon followed by a littleboy, then another.

Four-year-old Helen cared forher brothers as she saw me care forthem. She was an active helper inthe kitchen and busily taught thelittle ones to make the sign of thecross.

That was the time when therevolution broke out in Hungary in1956. Our littlest one was but 10days old when we joined the numberof refugees. After having beencaptured twice, I was deadly afraidto try once more. I cried but throughmy tears I saw little Helen'sdetermined face as she was treadingthrough the muddy vineyards. Herblue eyes shone as she said: "Don'tcry, crying will not change anything,or make it easier." My own words,beamed at me through the look ofmy husband, out of my oldestdaughter's mouth.

THE AGE-OLD TRUTHregistered for the first time:Ministering and caring is not a one-way street. It is give and take. It isthis mutual caring and sharingthrough which one evolves as aperson, become a parent.

The perfect unity of man andwoman as the images of Godbecomes reality in marriage. Itsfruits are the children and the in-teraction with them leads tosalvation for both.

One of the most importantaspects of caring and ministering,The most significant instrument tobring about growth is listening.When the children arrive home fromschool or play, games, dances orwork, their "senseless" and "nerve-wracking" chatter tells us of manyuntold stories that through creativequestions will surface, preventinglater tears and heartbreaks.

When grief strikes, often God'sgraces come to us through ourchildren's voices. A friend whosebaby was born with a serious diseasecould not accept the fact until her11-year-old declared, while wat-ching her rock the little one: "Iwould not change her for anything inthe world."

PARENTS ARE only human.They, too, have times when the thinthread of endurance breaks. Thosecan be some of the most intriguingtimes for growth, ior givingexample. Our children have to learnthat we are people also. The waywe go about correcting our mistakes

will set the pattern for them. Ilearned during the years when ourfirst children went throughadolescence how honesty aboutoneself would make them open up. Ifmother or father could make amistake and admit it, they musthave the potential to understand.

When we see that our childrenno longer need us, it means theyare on their Way to be our helperswhen we no longer will be able totake care of ourselves. That processinvolves heartache and questionsOur Lady had asked her Son when hestayed behind in Jerusalem: "Son,why have you done this to us?" Then,the hurt clears up one day and the"cup runneth over" with joy whenone hears one's children give adviceto their peers; one's own wordsrephrased in today's slang.

ONE OF the greatest rewards ofparenthood is a son-in-law whodeclares: "When my father died, Ididn't expect to re-experience thefeeling I had for him until' today,when I talked with you."

Or when a daughter says: "Ican't think of anyone I'd rather haveto lead me into motherhood thanyou."

Biblical Insight of Two SonsBy FATHER JOHN J. CASTE LOT

THE NATIVITY story in theGospel of Luke fairly rings with thejoy occasioned by the birth of a newbaby. (Acknowledging the doubtfulhistorical character of much of thisnarrative, we may for the momentsimply take it at its face value.) Thisstory tells of the birth, not just ofone, but of two baby boys: John,later known as the Baptizer, andJesus, later known as the Christ. Thenote of joy is struck early, in theangel's announcement to Zechariahthat he will finally have a son: "Joyand gladness will be yours, and manywill rejoice at his birth" (Luke 1,14)And the account of his birth and itssequel is full of the excitement,wonder and happiness which a newarrival brings to family and friends.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT toMary of her impending motherhoodis more solemn, mysterious and, atLuke's hands, theological. But thebirth itself is recounted withwarmth and tenderness, and, as forjoy, the heavens themselves breakinto song. In a simple sentenceevocative of quiet happiness andgentle love, Luke tells us that Mary"gave birth to her first-born son andwrapped him in swaddling clothes

and laid him in a manger" (Luke2,7).

BUT THE STILLNESS is brokenby the angelic proclamation to theshepherds: "You have nothing tofear! I come to proclaim good newsto you —tidings of great joy to beshared by the whole people." And"suddelnly, there was with the angela multitude of the heavenly host,praising God and saying, 'Glory toGod in high heaven, peace on earthto those on whom his favor rests'"(Luke 2,10,13-14). All mothers of alltime can identify with Mary's secrethappiness when they read that"Mary treasured all these thingsand reflected on them in her heart"(Luke 2,19).

IF THERE WAS joy at the birthof these boys, there was continuedhappiness in watching them growup. Of John it is said: "The childgrew up and matured in spirit"(Luke 1,80), and of Jesus: "Hewent down with them then, andcame to Nazareth, and was obedientto them. His mother meanwhile keptall these things in memory. Jesus,for his part, progressed steadily inwisdom and age and grace beforeGod and men" (Luke 2,51-52). "Helived in the desert until the day when

he made his public appearance inIsrael" (Luke 1,80).

THE WONDER OF watching achild grow so often turns tobewilderment and sometimes tohurt. No child grows up to becomehis or her mother or father; he growsup to become himself. According tothe story, Zechariah and Elizabethwere quite old when John was born.They had given up hope of everbecoming parents. And now, here isthis son given to them by God run-ning off to live a bizarre existence inthe desert. Zechariah must havewondered why on earth his sondidn't accept the priestly role thatwas his by inheritance. It wouldhave made the old man so proud.

ELIZABETH had to bear notonly the pain of separation but theconstant worry about his well-being.He didn't dress right; he certainlydidnt' eat right: "John was clothedin camel's hair, and wore a leatherbelt around his waist. His food wasgrasshoppers and wild honey"(Mark 1,6). One can only hope theydidn't live long enough to sufferthrough his arrest and execution.

AND WHEN the old man Simeon

took the infant Jesus in his arms, heuttered a dire prediction to Mary:"This child is destined to be thedownfall and the rise of many inIsrael, a sign that will be opposed-and you yourself will be pierced witha sword" (Luke 2,35). Mary andJoseph, too, had to wonder about thedirection in which Jesus was going.Luke closes the story of their findingthe boy in the temple with thesignificant remark: "But they didnot grasp what he said to them"(Luke 2,50). We know the direction inwhich he went and we can guess whathis career must have cost Mary. Butin spite of everything she stayed withhim even to the foot of the cross.

NO CHILD is simply a clone ofeither parent, but a distinct in-dividual who must become himselfor herself. Painful though this in-dependent growth may be forparents, real love demands that theyencourage it. A moderntheologian has defined love in itsessence as "letting-be." Really tolove is to let the loved one really bewhat God wants him to be andpositively to foster that "being,"which one understands or not. "Butthey did not grasp what he said tothem" (Luke 2,50).

Miami there are ap-proximately 287 in-cardinated priests of whom92 are Irish-born.

today. The gloriousachievements of the past willserve as support and en-couragement to help meet thechallenges of the present.However, as Ellis states, thepresent numbers of ap-proximately 55,000 priests,11,000 brothers, and 170,000sisters engaged in thechurch's mission andministry are far from suf-ficient to meet its expandingneeds. If that can be said ofthe church at large in theU.S.,how much more can it be saidof the State of Florida whichenjoys the reputation of beingone of the states with thefastest expanding population.

The decline in priestlyvocations which has per-meated practically everycountry in the world, hastaken its toll of the Irishchurch, as all recent reportsindicate. Nevertheless theChurch of Florida sharesyour hope that a new day isdawning vocation-wise, andthat our church will continueto be the beneficiary of thatnoble tradition which hasushered numberless prieststo our shores, helping tominister to a young andhopeful church.

As Pope John Paul saidon his recent visit to thiscollege, "This is a wonderfultime in the history of theChurch. This is a wonderfultime to be a missionary forChrist. May that missionaryspirit never decline in thehearts of the Irish priests, butmay a spirit of partnershipgrow between the homedioceses and the total missionof the church, entering intothe eager missionarymovement of the UniversalChurch."

Bishop InstalledIn St. Augustine

(Continued from Page 3)potential for the kingdom ofChrist that lies in a diocesewhere there is full par-ticipation .by all — clergy,religious and laity —in themission of the Lord that is ourbaptismal destiny."

Among the other guestsat the cremony were CardinalTerence Cooke of New York,Archbishop Jean Jadot,apostolic delegate in theUnited States, and Florida'sEpiscopal Bishop FrankCerveny, who remarked afterthe ceremony, "I think theHoly Ghost had a hand inbringing this man to theDiocese of St. Augustine."

Bishop Snyder held areception later for the peopleof St. Augustine and told the700 well-wishers, "I want youto know in a special way thatyou are my family. I needthat. I have to have thatspecial relationship."

His special relationshiphad already begun when hespent 40 minutes after the

ceremony shaking handsoutside the church.

Not everyone had made itto the church on time. Agroup of about 110 bishops,priests and laymen had flownfrom Brooklyn, N.Y., butwere delayed by planetrouble. But their bus fromJacksonville to St. Augustinewas escorted by the FloridaHighway Patrol, and theymissed only the beginning ofthe ceremony.

Bishop Snyder takes overhis new post from BishopPaul Tanner who retired atthe mandatory age of 75. TheDiocese includes 17 countiesin northeastern Florida and isthe home of St. Augustine'sParish, which dates back to1565 when Father FranciscoLopez first celebrated theEucharist for Spanish settlersupon their arrival in Florida.

Bishop Snyder was or-dained in 1951 in Brooklynand had served the Diocese ofBrooklyn for 28 years, thelast six as auxiliary bishop.

He allowed no in-terruptions, if they could beavoided, and his only pastimewas an occasional game oftennis.

The life of the man whoreached millions began in thesmall town of El Paso, 111., onMay 8, He was one of foursons of Newton and Delia(Fulton) Sheen, both of Irishancestry. Baptized Peter, hetook the name of John atconfirmation and lateradopted his mother's maidenname as his first name.

After studying theologyat St. Paul's Seminary in St.Paul, Minn., he was ordainedto the priesthood for thePeoria Diocese on Sept. 20,1919.

Obtaining bachelor'sdegrees in theology andcannon law at the CatholicUniversity of America in1920, he went to the

university of Louvain,Belgium, where he wasawarded a Ph.D. in 1923: Healso attended the Sorbonne inParis and the AngelicumUniversity in Rome, where hetook a doctorate in theology in1924.

AMONG THE FAMOUSpeople in whose conversion toCatholicism he played a rolewere violinist FritzKr e i s l e r ; a u t h o r ,congresswoman and laterambassador to Italy ClareBoothe Luce; Americannewspaper Guild founderHeywood Broun; entertainer-night club owner Ada SmithDuconger —better known asBricktop, and former com-munist agents Louis Budenz(originally a Catholic) andElizabeth Bentley, amongothers.

The Budenz return wasparticularly spectacular, asBudenz' name was still listedon The Daily Workermasthead as managing editorthe day he renounced com-munism. Budenz had evenwritten a series in 1936 forthe communist daily at-tacking Sheen.

evening when Sheen wasleaving the apartment of afriend whose wife had justdied. The friend pointed toKreisler's door and told thebishop the great violinist washis neighbor. Sheen knockedat the door, introducedhimself, and was invited intothe house, where he asked,"Would' you like to take in-struct ions?" Shortlythereafter, Kreisler and hiswife were received into theCatholic Church.

The bishop did not onlyspread the faith among thefamous. In 1950 he wasnamed national director ofthe Society for thePropagation of the Faith, thechurch's principal missionorganization, a post which heheld until 1966.

At that point, BishopSheen was named bishop ofRochester, N.Y.

In his apostolic letterappointing Bishop Sheen tothe See, Pope Paul VI said:"Everything that you have sotirelessly accomplished inthe past, by deed and by thespoken word, to feed Christ'sflock has won for youuniversal acclaim. We nownourish the fond hope that inthe future you will vigorouslyundertake even greaterthings."

Though he was a friend of

the famous, Bishop Sheenthroughout his career showedconcern for the poor. Hespoke about the divisionbetween the rich northernhemisphere and the im-p o v e r i s h e d s o u t h e r nhemisphere long before theconcept became current ingeopolitical discourse.

BISHOP SHEENbacked "Humanae Vitae,"the 1968 encyclical in whichPope Paul VI reaffirmed thechurch's opposition to ar-tificial birth control. In astatement published in theR o c h e s t e r d i o c e s a nnewspaper he likened birthcontrol to violence, which hedescribed as a dominant ideain the modern world."Violence," he said, "is thelaying of hands on life, eitherto maim it, to destroy it, or to.annul it."

In 1973, he told theThomas More Lawyers'Guild, an association ofCatholic lawyers, that it wasmore difficult to be good thenthan 20 years ago. Today,Christians must stand up andbe counted, he said, adding,"It is very easy to flow withthe current. Dead bodies flowdownstream. It takes livepeople to resist the current."

Addressing the WesternNorth Carolina MethodistConference in 1974, he

deplored the loss of the senseof sin. "It used to be that theCatholics were the only onesto believe in the Immac ulateConception," he said. "Noweveryone believes he is theimmaculately conceived."

In July 1977, the arch-bishop, then, 82, un-derwent open heart surgeryand by November was calledfully recovered by the chiefsurgeon of the operatingteam.

His public appearancesbecame less frequentthereafter, but did not stop. InJanuary 1979, speaking atthe 27th annual NationalPrayer Breakfast inWashington, he began bysaying, "Mr. President, Mrs.Carter, my fellow-sinners."

We fove Because We Have Been LovedBy CAROL A. FARRELL

Family Enrichment CenterThe more I experience of

human love, both the givingand the receiving, the more Iunderstand about God's lovefor each of us. I've read andheard similar thoughts butsomething seems to havehappened and now its my owntruth, my own discovery, myown private reality.

It is the common ex-perience of human love thatputs us in touch with thereality of God's love for us.Books and teachers may giveus the theory but the ex-perience of being loved and ofloving is the real teacher. Andit is the home that is the firstschool of love.

perience of being loved as adaughter, both in mychildhood and in my adultyears. I recall the constancy ofthe love of my mother andfather. It was and is limitlessbut not indulgent. I did notrealize that many people growup with a sense that theymust earn the love of theirparents by performing in apraiseworthy way, that lovecame as a response to somespecial effort on their part. Iwas blessed with an ex-perience of " lam, therefore Iam loved."

I think of my experienceof being loved as a woman, awife. I remember especially aweekend trip to a meetingwithout Pat. At first I felt illat ease and out of placewithout him. As the hourspassed I realized thewholeness I feel, the comfort Ihave within myself, comesgreatly from his presence inmy life, from his love. In ourrelationship I feel free to bemyself. Its not a freedom toDO anything I want butrather a freedom to BE fullymyself..I know that I amalways accepted even when he

would not agree fully with myactions. Pat's acceptance andencouragement creates anatmosphere in which I cangrow.

God's love is like that,too. In the awareness of Hispresence in my life I feelfreedom and strength andsecurity. In His love I am.known and accepted andbrought to the fullness of life. Iwas surprised recently as Irealized that it is Pat's lovethat brings me this insight.

I reflect on my experienceas a parent. I have been loved,therefore I am able to love.My love for my children doesnot depend on their love forme. I give it freely. Everyparent has heard "I hateyou! " and "Leave me alone!"or "Go away! " Even when ourlove is rejected, we can and docontinue to love. Not becausewe feel like it, but because itseasy — because neither is thecase. Of course, sometimes wefail because we are human butbasically the fundamentalflow of our life is to continueto love because we havedecided to love, we have acommitment in love, becausewe choose to love. And we areable, to because we have firstbeen loved in that way.

GOD'S LOVE, too, isfirst, is freely given, is life-giving. In my love for mychildren I begin to understandever so faintly the depth ofGod's love and commitmentto me, to each of us. I feelawed. I feel humble. I ieelexhilerated. I feel powerful. Ifeel perfectly safe. I feel

graced. I feel peace.There is something about

this season that makes thetopic more pertinent to meright now. It is a time forbeing more in touch withLove, with its Source, itsmeaning, its beauty, itsnecessity, with its power. Its atime to express Love with a

face-to-face "Ilove you", aspecial gift, a note of ap-preciation, in the sharing ofour time and our life. Its atime for singing, for hugging,for reaching out, for buildingeach other up, for remember-ing, for creating memories,for gratefulness.

Because He loved us first.

Miami Couple, PriestReenact Cana Event

By FR. MIKEFLANAGAN, S.P.

"I walked where Jesuswalked." I have a little holycard with a poem aboutJerusalem on it. It's about theawe and wonder of a HolyLand pilgrimage. Throughthe grace of God I wasblessed with that privilege.

In October I celebratedMass on Calvary, walked theWay of the Cross and knelt atthe Holy Sepulcher. What asense of overwhelmingserenity pervades the Gardenof Gethsemane; it was verydifficult to tear myself awayfrom that peaceful, sacredplace. And to stand on theslope called the Mount ofOlives and see the Holy City!What a glorious sight.

Months before we left Miamifor the Holy Land, Joe andSusie planned their marriagefor Cana. Susie labored manyhours sewing her gorgeouswhite dress. While Joe and Idressed in the tiny sacristy,the Franciscan priest showedSue to her dingy dressingroom. How handsome Joelooked in his '"tux" as he met

his pretty bride at the altar.This altar sits directly overthe spot where, according totradition, Jesus convertedwater into wine at the Canawedding. Two thousand yearsago He knew that on October18,1979 Joe and Susie wouldre-enact that marriage.

Susie's radiancewas unspeakable; Joe'spride, evident in every glancehe gave her. After their vows,Oola, the maid of honor,signed the wedding cer-tificate in fine Hebrewpenmanship.

Our gracious Fran-ciscans shared some Canawine with us as we ate thewedding cake in their rec-tory. Flash bulbs and flowerswere popping everywherearound the room.

Walking back to the busthrough the narrow Canastreets afforded the neigh-borhood the opportunity toclap and cheer for the brideand groom; some even cameforward with tiny bouquetsand glasses of wine for themembers of the procession!

God bless you, Joe andSue; many, many years oflove in marriage.

Redskin Band Marches to Its Own Great BeatBy GEORGE KEMON

They don't have "76Trombones" and there is no"Trouble in River City", butthey do have 85 of thegreatest instrument playingyoung people you could hearin a long time.

We are referring to theCardinal Gibbons MarchingRedskins Band who eminatefrom Cardinal Gibbons HighSchool on Bayview Drive, inFt. Lauderdale, and theyreally get around.

For instance they" tooktwo trophies in the St.Patrick's Day Parade inMiami - one for best band intheir category (medium-sizedband from a small school)and another for being "MostOutstanding Unit Overall inthe Parade."

THEN THEY WENT tothe American Band Academyat Leesburg, for the thirdyear...and walked off with aspecial trophy awarded themby the director of the Camp,William Hpran, who cited theyoung people as being thebest band that had passedthrough the camp in ten years— and he particularly wasimpressed with the discipline,attitude and overall behaviorof the band members.

Not content to rest onthese laurels, the band thentook Superior Honors in theState District XIII marchingcontest — besting 20 otherbands.

They did so well officialsat Disney World invited themback at any time they wishedto come —an accolade notoften given.

THE BAND, which swellsto. 117 members when oneincludes five riflemen and aflag corps of 25, (should thatread riflegirls since all aregirls in both the flag corpsand guard?) is directed not by"Professor Harold Hill " butby Douglas Phifer, whooriginally came to the schoolunder a program sponsoredby the Magnavox Corporationand stayed on after itscompletion.

He is ably assisted byBruce Penticoff, 26-year-oldArmed Fprces Band veteran,trumpet player, and musicarranger who has broughtthese talents to real fruitionwith the Redskins. We heardtwo pieces of music whichbear his arranger's stamp —and they were musicalplums!

WE ASKED the directorsif the young people had tomaintain high averages toremain in the band and Brucetold me, "most of themembers start in their fresh-man year and they stay in theband through their senioryear. Their grades arealways in the higher levels. Ican only recall one memberwho dropped out of the band —and, consequently, schoolbecause of grades. But thiswas not a problem brought onby band membership."

The school does notdemand high marks —theirpeers do. The teamwork,attitude, and discipline shownby these -young people inrehearsal shows the devotionthey have to what they aredoing, loyalty for the school,and respect for each other.One would want to keep highmarks just to remain in thatkind of environment.

How do the parents feelabout the band program?

"OUR KIDS's parentsare very supportive of whatwe are doing here at CardinalGibbons," Bruce stated. "Weare very mindful of theschedules these young peoplehave, and we try to schedulerehearsals so as to offer theleast interference with otherschool programs, homework,

Publicacion oficial catolica de la Arquidiocesis de Miami, 6201 Biscayne Blvd., Miami, Fla. 33138, Tel: 758-0543.

Tributo aUn Paladin de Nuestra FeLa Vida del hombre que llego al corazon de mas

de 30 millones de personas semanalmente comenzo enel pequefto pueblo de El Paso, en Illinois (no en laciudad de El Paso, Texas) en Mayo 8 de 1895. Fue unode los cuatro hijos de Newton y Delia Sheen. Bautiza-do con el nombre de Pedro, pidio el nombre de Johnen su confirmacion y mas tarde tomo el quefuera el apellido de soltera de su madre, Fulton, comosu primer nombre por el cual lo conocio todo el mun-do. Porque su Excelencia Reverendisimo ArzobispoFulton Sheen no solo fue conocido en los EstadosUnidos sino.en todos los paises del mundo a traves desus programas de radio y television.

Cuando Peter era todavia un bebe, la familia semudo a Peoria. Su padre era granjero, Delia lo ayuda-ba y atendia la casa. En Peoria Peter asistio a la Es-cuela de St. Mary y mas tarde a la escuela secundariade los Hermanos Gristianos, Spalding Institute. Deaqui paso al St. Viator's College donde comenzo supasion por los medios de comunicacion trabajando enel periodico del Colegio. Hizo sus estudios de Teolo-gia en el Seminario de St. Paul, Minn, y fue ordenadosacerdote para la Diocesis de Peoria en Sept. 20 de1919.

Estudio para su Titulo de Bachiller en Teologia yLey Canonica en la Universidad Catolica de Ameri-ca y obtuvo su Doctorado en Filosofia en la Universi-dad de Louvain, Belgica, en 1923. Estudio tambien enla Sorbona.Paris y en la Universidad Angelica de Ro-ma donde obtuvo su Doctorado en Teologia. Su diser-tacion en la Universidad de Louvain fue despuesimpresa en libro, le gano el Premio Cardenal Mercierpara Filosofia y calidos elogios de Chesterton.

Paso un ano ensenando y predicando en Ingla-terra y regreso a los Estados Unidos en 1926 para ser-vir como Pastor Asistente en una Parroquia de Pe-oria. El Obispo de Peoria, Mons. Dunn, dijo ocho me-ses despues que "el habia estado probando al jovensacerdote para ver si su triunfo se le habia subido a lacabeza". Convencido de su obediencia y su humildadle dijo "has sido un buen muchacho, ahora sigue elcamino que has escogido y ensena". El P. Fulton nose hizo esperar y marcho a la Universidad de Ameri-ca, donde enseno Filosofia hasta 1950.

Eh 1951 fue hecho Obispo en Roma y asignadoAuxiliar a la Arquidiocesis de New York, cuyo Arzo-bispo era a la sazon Francis Cardenal Spellman.Obispo Sheen sirvio en New York unos quince anos.

Se dio a conocer en los circulos literarios como unprolificos escritor y disertador, siempre combatiendoel error en sus presentaciones. Escribio dos libros porano durante varios anos ademas de columnas en laprensa. Pero fue su elocuencia como orador lo que legano fama internacional, primero a traves del radio ydespues por la television.

En 1950, el Consejo Nacional de Hombres Catoli-cos en cooperacion con la NBC patrocino un progra-ma catolico de una hora semanal y fue Mons. Sheen el

primer orador regular. El programa comenzo con 17estaciones en cadena llegando a ser trasmitido por 118afiliadas a NBC y por onda corta al resto del mundo.Ademas varios millones de copias de sus charlas erandistribuidas semanalmente en forma impresa. En elotono de 1954, siendo ya Obispo, comenzo su progra-ma "La Vida Vale La Pena Vivirla" que se presenta-ba por 123 estaciones de la ABC en todo el pais. Se es-tima que su audiencia paso de los 30 millones a la se-mana.

Tambien escribio la columna regular para laPrensa Catolica "Dios Te Ama A Ti" y otra para laprensa secular titulada "Habia El Obispo Sheen ..."

Comenzaba sus dias con la Misa a las 7:00 a.m.,estudiaba por varias horas y ocasionalmente jugabaal tennis que era su unica distraccion. El resto deltiempo lo compartia entre sus funciones episcopates yla atencion a sus fieles, especialmente los mas necesi-tados.

Sus cercanos colaboradores dicen que tenia unapoder de asimilacion fantasticamente desarrollado.En seis o siete minutos podia discutir un discurso quele fuera presentado y si le daban 15 minutos repetia eldiscurso complete

El Obispo Sheen visitaba con frecuencia los asilos deRochester ofreciendo palabras carifiosas de alientoa los ancianos internados.

Durante su visita a Miami, en Marzo 1975 con motivode la 5ta Comida Anual del Presidente de Barry Colle-ge, donde fue el orador invitado, el Arzobispo Sheencharla con nuestro inolvidable Arzobispo ColemanCarroll.

Esta foto fue tomada durante la Misa de Medianochede Navidad que se celebr6 el 24 de Diciembre de 1972en la prisi6n de Green Haven, Stormville, Didcesis deRochester, en la cual concelebrd el Obispo FultonSheen con el capellan y su asistente. Un preso reci-be la comunidn de las manos del Obispo.

Los mencionadosson solo algunos pocos entre los muchos que se cono-cen. , y en cuya conversion el tuvo participacion per-sonal.

El recibimiento que le tributaron en Rochester,N.Y. a su llegada como nuevo Pastor de la Diocesisno se parecio al recibimiento dado a un Obispo nor-malmente, varios miles lo esperaban a lo largo en lascalles ovacionandole a su paso. El pueblo lo amo y elamo a su pueblo.

Desde 1950 erta tambien Director Nacional de laSociedad para la Propagacion de la Fe y lo fue hasta1966. Aqui suvida cambio abruptamente con su nomi-nacion como Obispo de Rochester.

Pero el Obispo Sheen no solo se interesaba porlos problemas locales sino que fue un paladin en lascausas nacionales 4ue-a.su juicio debia combatir 0apoyar desde su posicion pastoral. Hablo muchoacerca de la riqueza del Continente del Norte y laPobreza del continente del Sur antes que este temafuese materia corriente. Combatio la desigualdad enla distribucion de las riquezas y establecio normaspara la construccion de Iglesias en la Diocesis que li-mitaban el tamano de las rectorias y su costo de ma-nera que no fue mas que el costo promedio de una ca-sa de familia comun. Las Iglesias debian, dadas estarnormas, tener facilidades no solo para el servicio Di-vino sino tambien par el humano servicio. Fue d.efen-sor del derecho a la vida de los no nacidos y opositoral control de natalidad de manera apasionada.

En 1969 renuncio a su Obispado en Rochester,tenia 74 anos, y le fue concedido el titulo de Arzobis-po.

Nuestro periodico se une, con este tributo, a laMemoria del Arzobispo Fulton Sheen, al que toda laIglesia universal ha de prodigarle a quien fuera unPaladin de la Fe Catolica, Apostolica y Romana. Quenuestras oraciones le muestren nuestro amor y las su-yas nos alcancen las bendiciones de Dios para poderservirlo como el lo sirvio: totalmente.

En Memoria

Su Excelencia Arzobispo Fulton Sheen fallecio el9 de Diciembre.Despues de una larga vida de Servicioal Senor, goza ahora de Su presencia.

Asi Eran EIlos... San Lazaro Diciembre 17

•mm* *

San Leizaro resucitado por Jesus

Siempre el pueblo eubanoha manifestado devocion porSan Lazaro. Quien visito elSantuario dedicado al Santo enel Rincon en la provincia de LaHabana, donde las Hijas de laCaridad han vivido casi siglo ymedio atendiendo los leprosos,no puede poner en duda estadevocion. El 17 de Diciembre,dia en que la Iglesia venera alhermano de Marta y Maria re-sucitado por Cristo se con-templaba una gran manifesta-cion de fe. Sin embargo, haymuchos devotos que se pregun-tan hoy el origen de esta devo-cion.

El primer problema quedebe examinar un devoto deSan Lazaro es el que nace de laidentidad de este santo. ^Exis-te San Lazaro?

iSi, San Lazaro existe!Fue el amigo fiel de Jesus, her-mano de Marta y Maria, cono-cido por todos en la aldea deBetania. Lazaro tuvo unaamistad muy intima con Je-

sucristo; habia entre ambosuna familiaridad muy especial.Sabemos que al enterarse de sumuerte, Jesus lloro, y que oropara que el Padre por medio deEl resucitara a su amigo, de-volviendole la vida. iCuantomas lloraria Lazaro, pues, alsaber de la muerte de Jesus po-co tiempo despues!

Sin duda alguna Lazaro esun santo venerado por la Igle-sia Catolica. Desde el momen-to en que Jesus le devolvio lavida, aquel joven dedico susesfuerzos en predicar con lapalabra y el ejemplo el menasjede Jesus. Tal fue asi, que tuvoque escapar junto con sus her-manas de la persecucion de losprimeros anos del Cris-tianismo, radicandose por finen Marsella, Francia, antiguacolonia romana, donde actual-mente la Iglesia guarda su se-pulcro. El Lazaro veneradopor la Iglesia Catolica desdeentohces siempre ha sido el

mismo: el amigo de Cristo quedespues fue obispo de Mar-sella.

<,Es que hay otro Lazaro?La imagen de Lazaro que vene-ran muchos devotos noobstante, no parece ser la delhermano de Marta y Maria, eljoven de Betania. Esta imagenes la de un mendigo cubierto dellagas, imposibilitado de cami-nar sin muletas, y seguido porvarios perros. Esta imagenrepresenta el personaje de laparabola de Cristo mismoconto para llevar su ensenanzaa su pueblo.

La historia se encuentraen el Evangelio de San Lucas,en el capitulo XVI, y trata deun hombre rico y un hombrepobre, llamado Lazaro, quesufrio la injusticia del mundopero que recibio el premio eter-no. Muchos confunden a estepersonaje con Lazaro, el resu-citado de Betania. Como tan-tos otros personajes que Cristoutilizo en el Evangelio, esteLazaro de las muletas es unpersonaje ficticio de una para-bola que Jesus conto a supueblo para cambiar sus cora-zones endurecidos por la avari-cia y el egoismo.

Si, San Lazaro existe, perono es este Lazaro de la parabo-la. La Iglesia venera al herma-no de Marta y Maria, el resuci-tado por Cristo en Betania.

El devoto de San Lazarodebe acercarse a la Iglesia parabuscar la luz porque es en laIglesia fundada por Cristodonde el Senor Jesus dejo supoder de aclarar y orientar alcreyente. La Iglesia utiliza unsolo medio de orientacion paralos fieles: el mismo Cristo, elSenor, que es luz sobre todaluz.

Si nos acercaramos un po-quito mas a la Iglesia, dondeeste Cristo nos habia a travesdel Evangelio, no tendriamostanta confusion. El quiere sernuestro amigo fiel como lo fuede Lazaro. En El encontramosla razon de viyir en una so-ciedad apatica e indiferente..Por El llegamos a conocer aDios Padre y a vivir como her-manos en la fe sin distincion deraza o posicion social.

Adviento es, original-mente, una palabra latina, quequiere decir "Llegada solem-ne", "venida", "espera".

La conmemoracion liturgi-ca no es mero recuerdo, es unacontecimiento que HOY nosafecta. Esta conmemoracionquiere decir: compromiso.

Celebrar el Adviento esexperimentar el hecho de queDios se acerca mas y mas anuestra oscuridad.

El ministerio de Advientocoincide con el misterio deltiempo y de la historia. Es lamarcha hacia la verdad. Es elmisterio de la Iglesia aqui aba-jo.

30 Afios de AldeasHermann Gmeiner, "un

humanista de acciones", quecumplio 60 anos el pasado Ju-nio y treinta de elloslos ha pa-sado construyendo y de-sarrollando aiin mejor sunuevo concepto de Orfelinatos,donde los ninos crecen y sedesarrollan como en su propiohogar, con amor y atencion defamilia. Este el el motivo queinspira la construccion de lasAldeas Infanti les SOS,nombre que le asigno su cre-ador y que de si dice por quieny para quien son las Aldeas.

Con motivo del Ano In-ternacional del Nino laAsamblea General de SOS-Kinderdorf Internacional sepropuso y llevaron a terminola edificacion de 34 nuevas al-deas en todo el mundo con-tando para esta fecha con 137de ellas, en 62 paises.

En este ano de 1979 tam-bien se inauguro el primerHospital SOS en Hohenau, Pa-raguay y un centro de educa-cionb, en Innsbruck, Austria,para la comprension y recon-ciliacion de los pueblos delmundo, que lleva elnombre deAcademia Internacional de lasAldeas Infantiles SOS. Las Al-deas son reconocidas mundial-mente como la mas modernaobra socio-pedagogica paraninos huerfanos y abandona-dos.

Una Aldea consta de resi-dencias, cuatro o seis en cadaunidad y 15 y 20 unidades poraldea, construidas de acuerdocon la tradicion y costumbresdel pais particular para que elniflo crezca dentro de la cultu-ra de su pueblo; escuelas, tatalleres, y proyectos agrono-mos. La asistencia medica sebrinda a traves de los estable-cimientos locales aunque ya seha comenzado a pensar en Disrpensarios Medicos para las zo-nas donde no sea facil la asis-tencia local. El primero de es-tos establecimientos en granescala ya se inauguro en Uru-guay. Honduras tiene tambienuna clinica para infantes. '

Cada casa o residencia

"Dar a los nifios huerfanos yabandonados laexperienciadeun hogar normal" ha sido el le-ma que movid a Sor Maria Ro-sa a trabajar para resolver elproblema social de la niflez.

La Aldea tiene su campode recreo y reunion familiar,donde las "madres se reunen ahacer labores y a platicarsobre sus problemas fami-liares, y siempre pueden con-tar con los consejos del Direc-tor de la Aldea. Estasreuniones mientras los "hijos"juegan, dan al nifio sentido dehermandad y de seguridad fa-miliar porque van creciendocomo miembros de una gran fa-milia.

La Aldea comienza con lafabricacion de algunas unida-des cuyo numero aumenta se-gun la necesidad, sigue des-pues la escuela y luego eltaller.

Las Aldeas Infantiles SOSen Honduras, donde se calculaque el 64 por ciento de losninos son huerfanos o abando-nados, bajo el impulso mater-

El Gobernador del Estadode New York, Hugh Carey, di-jo que "la presencia del Arzo-bispo Sheen en la escena publi-ca llevo siempre razony cari-dad donde eran mas necesita-das. Todos los habitantes delEstado de New York lloran superdida."

Ahora, habiendo ter-minado su curso, con su fe enDios y en los hombres, mante-nida en alto, ha respondido a lallamada para la que estaba tanbien preparado."

La Arquidiocesis de Bos-ton hizo una declaracion lla-mando al Arzobispo FultonSheen, "Un sacerdote real-mente extraordinario cuyos es-

fuerzos misioneros abrazarona millones". El documentotambien celebro su trabajo entelevision y radio y como ma-estro, autor y Director Na-cional de la Sociedad para laPropagacion de la Fe y sigue,"Su trabajo por las misionesde la Iglesia a traves del mun-do permanece ante los ojos deDios".

Aunque la cautela reco-mendada por los especialistasen el campo de la nutricion,con respecto a los productosquimicos afiadidos a los ali-mentos es de tenerse en cuen-ta, el Sr. Sheldon Reiser, Jefedel Laborator io de In-vestigacion de Carbohidratosen la Nutricion, del Departa-mento de Agricultura, dice quealgunos de ellos. son benefi-ciosos para la salud.

La pectina, por ejemplo,que se halla en su forma natu-ral en las manzanas, naranjasy toronjas, en la mayor partede sus usos comercialesextraida de las cascaras de lasfrutas citricas y del bagazo dela manzana despues de sa-carle el jugo. Se anade a los ali-mentos para espesarlos comoen mermeladas y gelatinas.

La pectina, tiene un altovalor de accion "hipo coleste-remico", es decir, para bajar elindice de colesterol en lasangre.

Reiser cita varios estudiosrealizados en los cuales se re-dujo el nivel de colesterol enadultos varones, sometidos auna dieta diaria que incluia de6 a 36 gramos de peatina entre 2y cuatro semanas. En contras-te, otro grupo de adultos nopresento reduccion en el indicede colesterol con una dieta decelulosa o fibras de trigo.

La clave de la diferencia,segun Reisner, puede estar enque la pectina absorbe mas sa-les biliares en el tractogastrointestinal que la celulo-sa.

La fibra polysacarida co-nocida como "guar gum", yque se usa como aglutinanteen muchos alimentos, puedeaun ser mas efectiva que lapectina de acuerdo con estosestudios.

Otros dos polysacaridoscon efectos antieolesteros sonla "gum ghatti" o goma de laIndia, de donde proviene y el"carrageenan" o musgo deIrlanda.

Los obisposadvirtieron contra el consume-rismo provocado por quienesllegan con articulos de consu-mo innecesarios, y pidieron algobierno que no obligue a to-dos los prisioneros a salir delpais (una de las condiciones desu libertad) si prefierenquedarse con sus familias. Lasvisitas y la condonacion de lassentencias comenzaron haceun ano, y en ese tiempo unos10,000 cubanos han venido ca-da mes desde el exilio, espe-cialmente en Estados Unidos.

Miami, Florida I THE VOICE / Viernes, Diciembre 14,1979 [ Pagina 3A

"Estamos viviendo en laedad de la television; una epo-ca moldeada principalmentepor el televisor." Son pa-labras de Richard Byrne, de lafacultad de Comunicaciones dela Univesridad del Sur de Cali-fornia, en su charla a losmiembros de la Asociacion deRadiodifusores Catolicos asis-tentes a la 8va.- Asambleaanual en Los Angeles.

Dijo que la television tieneun tremendo impacto "en la fa-milia, en su estructura, en suconducta y en la educacion delos ninos"... Creo que numero-sas parejas han escogida la te-levision como substituto parala ausencia de atencion pater-na, los padres en una habita-cion con su televisor y losninos en otra con el suyo."sin contacto ni comunicacionentre ellos. "La television estaviniendo a ser algo mas realpara los ninos que las propias

Deber de Todos Me jorar TVpersonas que comparten conellos el hogar" anadio.

En muchos casos los ninosvienen de la escuela directos altelevisor porque los padres es-tan trabajando o de compras,otras veces porque los ma-yores no desean ser interrum-pidos en sus quehaceres o ensus programas.

Al usar este medio paraexponer "su producto" la Igle-sia debe hacerlo profesional-mente, aconseja Byrne. Hablode los nuevos descubrimien-tos de comunicacion electroni-ca y dijo ''Si van a usar estatecnologia, aprendan a usarlacorrectamente."

El Obispo Auxiliar de SanFrancisco, Mohs. Pierre Du-maine, dijo que era urgenteque la Iglesia haga uso comple-to de este moderno medio en

una forma que lo humanice y locivilice, que no sobrevenga enalgo que sea intrinsecamenteexplotativo y manipulante."Estamos cogidos en la in-cbngruencia entre una tec-nologia galopante y la mani-pulada y frivola manera en laque la TV es utilizada y vis-ta...estamos totalmente hipno-tizados por la difusion masivadel medio." Mons. Dumaineprevino contra el uso de la TVpara formatos incongruentescon el mensaje y las fuentes dedatos.

Estas palabras de Byrne yde Mons. Dumaine, deben dar-nos que pensar.

La television ha venido aser un medio donde, en la ma-yor parte de los casos, el afande hacer dinero esta por enci-

ma del fundamento educativode todo vehiculo de comunica-cion. Se usa como base, frecuen-temente, la excusa de que "eslo que le gusta al publico" sintener en cuenta que si al publi-co le dieran algo mejor habriade gustarle mas. tComohadeescoger el publico si no se le daotra cosa? En esta seleccion deprogramas tambien tienen suresponsabilidad patrocinado-res comerciales que en muchoscasos son guiados por la igno-rancia, y los videntes despre-ocupados. Se oye muy a menu-do en los hogares, cuando lostelevidentes hojean la guia deprogramas, que "la televisionesta hecha una basura", estasexpresiones, sin embargo noaparecen en ninguna encuesta.Cuando a juicio de los "espe-cialistas" los programas se

mejoran, se anade violencia,mas inmoralidad y mas vulga-ridades. Esto es lo que se leofrece a la familia toda, espe-cialmente a los ninos, que aun-que no nos demos cuenta, supoder perceptivo es superior aal del adulto pues sus sentidosestan avidos de aprender todolo que sucede alrededor •

El proximo domingo, 16 deDiciembre, por acuerdo del Co-mite Nacional de Obispos, serecogeran donaciones en todaslas Iglesias catolicas de los Es-tados Unidos con el fin de ha-cer un mejor uso de la Televi-sion comenzando en este Anode la Familia, 1980. Debe te-nerse presente que este em-peno no es a corto plazo, sinoperpetuo, de modo que quienno pueda contribuir este do-mingo puede y debe hacerlo elsiguiente haciendo constar elproposito de la donacion.

De DerechosAmnistia Internacional

advirtio en su Informe Anual :1979, publicado con fecha do-mingo 9 de Diciembre de 1979.en ingles, que los disidentespoliticos estan enfrentandose acrecientes amenzas de asesina-to o ejecucion en paises con go-biernos de muy variadas ide-ologias.

A pesar de la liberacion deun gran numero de presospoliticos en algunos paises du-rante este ano, el Informe indi-ca que tanto los arrestos ar-bitrarios como los encarcela-mientos politicos, las torturasy la imposicion de la pena capi-tal, continuan constituyendo elprocedimiento universal paraabusar de los derechos huma-nos.

El Informe refleja los tresaspectos del trabajo de Am-nistia Internacional. La orga-nizacion realiza campanas dejuicios justos y expedites, y seopone a la tortura y a la impo-sicion de la pena de muerte sinexcepciones.

En la introduccion al In-forme de 220 paginas, el Secre-tario General de Amnistia In-ternacional, Sr. Martin En-nals, reconoce que los in-formes de la organizacionsobre derechos humanos inevi-tablemente levantan contro-versias. Senala, no obstante,que "cuando los gobiernoscambian y los regimenes caen,las criticas expresadas porAmnistia Internacional resul-tan haber sido, por lo general,muy prudentes declaracionesen comparacion con la si-tuacion real que existia en elpaisen cuesti6n."

En la mayor parte de Ame-rica Latina los sospechosos deser opositores politicos siguen"desapareciendo" y se conti-nua hallando cadaveres muchotiempo despues de que lasvictimas son secuestradas oarrestadas. Se denunciaron"desapariciones", asesinatosy muertes en prision como re-sultado de torturas en Argenti-na, Chile, Colombia, El Salva-dor, Guatemala, Mexico, Nica-ragua, Paraguay y Uruguay.Ademas, fueron denunciadasejecuciones o asesinatos de

presos politicos en custodia enAfganistani Campuchea, Chi-na, Filipinas, Formosa, Nepal,y Paquistan. Se informo de eje-cuciones de presos politicos enAngola, Iran, Iraq, Mozambi-que, Somalia, Suragrica, Zairey Zimbabue (Rodesia). Se co-metieron asesinatos arbitra-rios en el Imperio Centroafri-cano (bajo el emperador Bo-kassa), en Guinea Equatorial(bajo el Gobierno de MaciasNguema) y en Etiopia y Ugan-da (bajo el Gobierno de IdiAmin).

Disidentes politicos y mi-litantes pro derechos humanosen Europa poriental recibieronlargas condenas de prision oconfinados en hospitales si-guiatricos en Checoslovaquia,Polonia, Rumania y la UnionSovietica.

Amnistia Internacionalpresento informes a los Go-biernos de Irlanda y el ReinoUnido, acerca de maltratosa personas bajo custodia poli-cial; y al Gobierno de la Re-publica Federal de Alemaniasobre el efecto del aislamientoen los presos.

La organizacion esta se-riamente preocupada por lasdenuncias de malos tratos aimmigrantes ilegales en los Es-tados Unidos de America. Laimposicion de la pena capitalen esta nacion, en variospaises del Caribe, continuasiendo motivo de consterna-cion.

Durante el ano de estudio,la organizacion abrio un nuevofrente al publicar un informesobre el encarcelamientopolitico en la Republica Popu-lar China y el primer relato delas experiencias de un presopolitico en Corea del Norte.Anteriormente, muy pocos de-talles se conocian o habia sidopublicados acerca del trata-miento que se da a los presospoliticos en estos dos paises.

El reconocimiento interna-cional del movimiento se viofortalecido por la concesion delPremio de Derechos Humanosde las Naciones Unidas de1978, otorgado a Aministia In-ternacional por sus "sobresa-lientes logros en el campo delos derechos humanos."
