"The whole census is like a carbeing assembled. Just because thebumpers are not on doesn't meanit's not worth anything. The cen­'sus isn't over," he said.

But Sedillo said by not reachinglarge numbers of Hispanics withmail-in forms, the bureau under­mined church effo'rts to assuagethe fears of Hispanic illegal aliens,many of whom are reluctant togive personal information to gov­ernment officials. Illegals tradi­tionally have been among the mostdifficult to count.

He said the Hispanic AffairsSecretariat had hoped that churchmembers would help Hispanics fillout the census forms in the privacyof their own homes to avoid hav­ing to meet with an unknownworker.

He added that the race questionon the census from puzzled manyHispanics. It asks for respondents'race, but lists only four options- "w.hite," "black," "AmericanIndian" or "Asian or PacificIslander." For many Hispanics,omission of "Hispanic" or "mes­tizo," a mixture of Indian andwhite European, was confusing,said Sedillo.

Hispanics, in particular, wereexpected to benefit from an accu­rate count because of theiI: grow­ing numbers in the Southwest andCalifornia.

However, in late April, the Cen­sus Bureau' was having troublefinding enough qualified door-to­door census workers in some partsof the country, creating the possi­bility th~t it will have to hire less­qualified workers who will have tovisit a much larger number of

, households than originally antici­pated because of the nation'slethargic response in mailing backcensus questionnaires.

Additionally, efforts to countthe homeless were marred whensome homeless activists, includingWashington's well-known MitchSnyder, decided to ban census­takers from their shelters, fearinga low count was likely and wouldreduce public concern for thehomeless and lead 'policymakersto cut services.

Sedillo said census question­naires never reached many largelyHispanic neighborhoods in theSouthwest and California.

Census importance unrealizedWASH INGTON (CNS) - Con­

gressional reapportionment anddistribution of federal and statedollars to social programs will beskewed as a result of the poor rateof return on 1990 census forms,according to a U.S. bishops' con­ference official.

Pablo Sedillo, executive direc­tor of the U.S. bishops' Secretariatfor Hispanic Affairs, said the an­ticipated undercount will "com­pound the problems Hispanics face,such as lack of access to healthcare, housing and good schools."

Eugene P. Ericksen, a sociolo­gist who is co-chairman of theSpecial Advisory Panel on the1990 Census, told Catholic NewsService that he attributed an "in­creasing disinterest on the part ofthe population" in returning cen­sus forms to a lack of understand­ing of the count's impact o,n eachindividual's quality of life.

"The whole government fiscalsystem is based on the census andpeople fail to realize it," said Erick­sen, a professor of sociology at_Temple University in Philadelphia.

Many U.S. church leaders whowork with the urban and ruralpoor urged participation in the1990 census, pointing out that itsnumbers dictate location and fund­ing of schools and social serviceprograms as well as the number of

Developing aNew VisionThere is a danger that in our absorption in the new face of

Europe we will forget the rest ofthe world, especially Asia. Thedramatic dynamics of Eastern Europe together with the con­solidation of the Common Market do indeed hold significantmeaning for us, Considering that as yet the maj ority of Ameri­cans are of European heritage, this is easy to understand.However, if we concentrate on Europe and ignore Asia, thenwe as a nation will be much p'oorer.

Most social scientists agree that the new century will 'beAsia's. That grand sage of the Orient, former Ambassador toJapan Mike Mansfield, has also predicted the "Pacific Cen­tury," Sixty percent of the population of the planet is Asian,'Some of the world's largest armies are based in the area; 18 ofthe 20 largest banks in the world are in Japan; robotic manu­facturing and other high-tech industries are proliferating; evennow transpacific exceeds transatlantic trade; while headlinesdaily announce political, economic and social changes in Asia,

It should be clear indeed that we must view the Pacific withopen minds and clear vision, Too many of our attitudes flowfrom our post-World War II experience and the residue of illwill occasioned by the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, Forover 30 years Americans died in Asian places and it is very hardto overcome the hurt and harm of those times.

So many of our men and women lost or ruined their lives inwars which, as history testifies, were the products of powerpolitics and political expediency, Millions of Americans arestill in a healing process that only time can bring to an end.

But time is at the very heart of the matter. The swiftness ofchange combined with today's mood somehow deny us thetime we need for full healing. Events of our world have cata­pulted us into the vortex of instant change. The past can existonly in memory. It would be wrong to forget it but it would beeven more deadly not to live and act in the present.

With its abundance of human and natural resources, thePacific has unlimited potential. However, it is a region of vastdiversity and volatility. Friction from overlapping interests isinevitable. Its latent problems run the gamut from borderdisputes to oppressive governments.

It should be realized that much ofthe current Pacific successstory is attributable to the United States. We provide a protec­tive security that allows many Asian nations to look inward totheir own economic development without fear of externalthreats. We are also Asia's best market and the economicramifications of this have become a domestic problem for us.Indeed, many nations whose dreams of prosperity we hav~

helped realize have contributed to our present economicnightmare.

The problems are many but so are the facts of a new andpowerful Asia which cannot be ignored or sublimated.

Americans are not really prepared for world changes. Wehave been immersedin the good life so long we think we own it.That is a pipe dream. We are a powerful country but no longercan we think of ourselves as the only one.

Once again events are echoing the words of the poet Donne:No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of thecontinent, a part of the main."

...This is the lesson all Americans will'have to learn in the newcentury.

The report said that "well-dressedspecial guests ... obtained the bestplaces" inside the papal visit venue,while "the poor remained behind,"unable to catch a glimpse of thepope.

While newspapereditorials laudedthe pope's call to "solidarity" withthe poor, reporters also pointed tothe fact that the rich and powerfulin Mexican society had the bestseats during the papal Mass andhomily in Chalco.

Excelsior reported that thosewho could not afford to pay theentrance fee of about $4 stood onrooftops or on the rain-soakedXico Hill while "distinguished vis­itors, among them more than oneMexico state government official,"had the best seats.

The daily Unomasuno also con­trasted the section reserved for2,000 priests, 45 bishops and ~pe­

cial guests with "the thousandsand thousands who occupied pointson surrounding hills" in order tosee the pope.

La Jornada reported that "the'well-off people occupied a goodpart of the fenced-off semicircle inthe polygon area, with special invi­tees of the church hierarchy mix­ing with those who fl!lshed creden­tials distributed by the Mexicostate government." The paper saidthat in addition to bishops, priests,religious and seminarians, thechurch invitees included manymembers of Mexico's pro-lifemovement, and the special sectionheld scores of minor governmentofficials and their families.

Aerial photos of the section re­served for distinguished visitorsshowed hundreds of empty seats,while the areas reserved for thegeneral public were virtually full.

respect: Pope and CSG" (CarlosSalinas de Gortari).

Mexico's largest daily news­paper, Excelsior, ran a headlineacross eight columns that declared,"SOlidarity in the Commitment tothe Common Good: Pope."

The daily Unomasuno followedthe lead with "CSG and John PaulII coincide: Dialogue against rup­ture and force."

El Heraldo, considered to be themost pro-church daily newspaperin Mexico, ran a five-column colorphoto of the pope pensively listen­ing to Salinas' welcoming speechand devoted its entire front page tothe papal visit.

The conservative daily Nove­dades headlined its lead story "Popeasks for a just society," while theleft-leaning La Jornada led withthe headline: "Dialogue, symbolof the Salinas-John Paul meet­ing."

In their editorials, most news­papers emphasized the "historicencounter" between the two lead­ers, and several again focused on a"communion of sentiments" or"parallel concepts of Salinas andWojtyla." The pope's given nameis Karol Wojtyla.

Excelsior went further, quotingSalinas as saying the Mexicangovernment seeks to build "a bridgebetween aspirations for freedomand economic opportunities" asevidence that there exists a "pointofconfluence between the Catholicreligion and the policies of theMexican state.'.!.

The papal visit received its first"bad press" May 7 following thepope's visit to the urban shanty­town area of Chalco. There, hecelebrated Mass and delivered ahomily on poverty before a crowdestimated as high as 1.2 millionpeople.

A news report late that day onthe national Radio Centro net­work kicked offthe negative press,saying that the poorest of the poor"were marginalized" during thepope's Chalco visit.

• To initiate a feasibilitystudy for the possible imple­mentation of Project Rachelwithin the diocese. (ProjectRachel is a program of recon­ciliation designed to assistpriests in ministering God'sforgiveness to women whohave experienced an abortionand desire reconciliation withGod and the Church.)

• To facilitate a network ofparish pro-life committeeswhich would communicate thepro-life truth;- • To coordinate diocesan

• To establish a pro-lifecommittee on the diocesanlevel;

• To energize within thediocese, as soon as possible,the National Committee for aHuman Life Amendment's"Project Life," piloted in Jan­uary of this year and alreadyactive in several areas, moti­vating average citizens to com­municate with their legislatorsabout the erosion of respectfor life in society.These activities, and many oth­

ers which are envisioned, will re­quire prayer, patience and people.All readers of the Anchor areurged to help in this apostolicactivity. If you feel you can givetime and interest to pray and work,please, write to Father Fernandesat St. James Rectory, 233 CountyStreet, New Bedfora, MA 02740.

Continu~d from Page Onecardinal a "happy priest whobrought people together throughhis joviality."

Irish Prime Minister CharlesHaughey called the cardinal a"valued personal friend," andBishop Brendan O. Comiskey ofFerns said he was "deeply loved byhis fellow bishops."

Cardinal 0 Fiaich was an advo-­cate of ecumenism as a way to helpsolve the sectarian strife in North­ern Ireland. He said he consideredNorthern Ireland's troubles theresult of "differing political alle­giances," not the result of Cath­olic-Protestant troubles. He con­sistently condemned violence fromall factions: the Irish RepublicanArmy guerrillas, British loyalistsand British security forces.

Born in Crossmagien, in theArmagh Archdiocese, Nov. 3 1923,Cardinal 0 Fiaich was ordained tothe priesthood in 1948. Namedarchbishop of Armagh in 1977, hewas elevated to the College ofCardinals in 1979.

Although located in NorthernIreland, Armagh is the primatialsee for the entire island of Ireland,and Cardinal 0 Fiaich was theI 13th successor of St. Patrick.

A fluent speaker of Gaelic, theindigenous Irish language, thecardinal had been a well-knownproponent of its revival.

Continued from Page One"The initial thrust of this apos­

tolic work will be to focus on theinsidious crime of abortion; in thefuture, I hope that pro-life com­mittees on the parish level will helpmake our Catholics aware of howbroad and pervasive the decline inrespect for human life is. I cer­tainly agree with Bishop Croninthat our dependence upon the par­ishes is great and with him I prayfor continued support from thepeople and clergy of the diocese."

Over the past few years, FatherRita has maintained a.file of Cath­olics recommended by their pas­tors for work in the pro-life apos­tolate. Within the next few weeks,Father Fernandes will be contact­ing each of these individuals todetermine their availability to serveon parish pro-life committees or asparish pro-life coordinators.Shortly thereafter, a conferencewill be held for these leaders toassist them in developing andmaintaining strong parish pro­grams.

While directing this apostolate,Father Fernandes will continuehis duties at St. James parish, NewBedford, where he is parochialvicar and director ofSt. James/ St.John School. A priest of the dio­cese for 14 years, he is also NewBedford deanery director for thediocesan Marriage PreparationProgram and an auditor for thediocesan Marriage Tribunal.

In accepting his new appoint­ment, Father Fernandes said: "Tobe deputed by the bishop to workwith greater intensity on behalf ofthe most defenseless of personsamong us is for me a source ofboth challenge and consolation:challenge due to the expansivenessand urgency of the task; consola­tion due to the support of so many,starting with the bishop. We arewitnessing daily a relentless declinein respect for the unique sacred­ness of human life; even overt actsof violence seem common andunsurprising."

The goal of the new diocesandirector of the Pro-Life Aposto­late will initially focus upon thecrime of abortion, working towardthe full reimplementation andmonitoring of the Pastoral Planfor Pro-Life Activities of the Na­tional Conference of CatholicBishops.

Based on the premise that"...the most effective structuresfor pastoral action are the dioceseand the parish" (Pastoral Plan),the objectives of the apostolatewill be to monitor, encourage andoffer assistance to parochial activ­ities of Catholic action in the areasof public education and informa­tion, pastoral care and publicpolicy. .

Many activities have alreadybeen developed by Father Fer­nandes and approved by BishopCronin, serving to implement thegoal and objectives ofthe Pastoral.Plan for Pro-Life Activities. Someof these include:

• To establish an office asa base to which parish pro-lifecommittees may turn for re­sources to be used within theirown parish communities;

• To work closely with theDiocesan Department of Edu­cation to assist the clear andregular teaching of the pro­life message at every level ofeducational activity;

Dear Editor:I remind ANCHOR friends to

pray a birthday r<~sary for PopeJohn Paul II. He will be 70 yearsold on May 18.

Please pray that Our Lord,through Mary, bless him gener­ously with light, strength andconsolation.

For spiritualenrichment, I highlyrecommend reading 0 the HolyFather's encyclicals. I recently readthe letters "On the Mercy of God"(Father) "Redeemerof Man" (Son),"On the Holy Spirit in the Life.ofthe Chureh and the World","Mother ofthe Redeemer" (Mary),"Guardian of the Redeemer"(Joseph).

I find the encyclicals beautifullywritten and edifying. They come insmall inexpensive pamphlet form.

My pbiro~ptiy'On givingis notpred.icated on the receiving ofany­thing (save human satisfaction). Ido not feel that I am fully deserv­ing of such a distinction from asociety which was given life for thepurpose of cultural. educationaland honourable altruistic goals.The honour, then, is far greaterwhen it is bestowed by a societywith such deep humanistic ends.

Words of praise shared by theSociety, but especially by the cha­rismatic Anthony Catojo (a found­ing father of the Prince HenrySociety, as well as of the Portu­guese Genealogical Society, Taun­ton) were deeply appreciated.

Rosary jor pope

Pro-Life RosaryDear Editor:

I enclose a booklet on the na­tional Pro-Life Rosary plannedfor Mother's Day. The nationwideeffort will serve as a spiritual, sin­gle voice to prayerfully benefit the 0

unborn.I received this booklet and a

rosary from a lady who just hap­pened to be walking along theWashington Monument groundson the day of Rally for Life '90. 1,was carrying my favorite picture,which is the sorrowful Jesus hold­ing an aborted baby. She wasawestruck by the picture and askedme to take a pro-life rosary.

I thought it was not only a nicegesture on her part but also one ofthose little "gifts" we may receivethat could go unnoticed or takenfor granted if one was not aware ofhow God works in his mysteriousways.

We sponsored a bus from Taun­ton for the rally. My daughterAngela, 10, attended and was reallytouched \)y all that she,·saw. I'mhoping you will publish informa­tion on Sunday's rosary crusade sothat as many parishes as possiblecan participate.

Mary GauthierTaunton

The Mother's nay prayer cru­sade described above will "employthe particular power ofthe rosary"between 3 and 4 p.m. Sunday to

o support the cause of the unbornand to "celebrate the joy of truemotherhood," according to Ro­saries for Life, among sponsors ofthe undertaking.

"People ofall faiths and from allplaces are invited on this specialday to join in a single cry for theunborn through the overwhelmingpower of prayer," said RobertZiener, national chairman of theCalifornia-based organization.

At 3 p.m. Sunday, pro-life androsary leaders from across thecountry will meet before the U.S.Supreme Court Building in Wash­ington to recite 15 decades of therosary, while walking around theedifICe seven times. This symbolicact will be supported by prayers ofindividuals and groups around thenation, in public, at church and at

Feeding, hydrationoj comatose

Dear Editor:Following are a few words of

commentary re the article in theAnchor of March 30 by MarcieHickey regarding the recent sym­posium on the treating of prob­lems associated with the terminalpatient in a prolonged vegetativestate, etc., as it impacts the so­called health care in our contem­porary system.

Having spent 40 years in thearea of diagnostic and therapeuticmanagement of terminally ill andprolongedly comatose persons inhospital, nursing home and domes­tic settings, some observations, ifyou please.

The ever-increasing incidence ofinstitutionalized care for personsin this category has complicatedwhat had heretofore been a tradi­tional policy of encouraging dyingat home. The input, as expressedin the [Anchor] article, of Dr.John Delfs of Harvard UniversityMedical School having to do withdeg~ees of coma and reflex re­sponses in a given clinical settingcould profit by more emphasis onthe swallowing reflex which canvaryfrom time to time and invokesthe ,notion that a person still pos­sessed,'oHhe swallowing functioncan be mouth fed and hydrated­albeit requiring considerable timeand patience.

The right to stop all food andhydration is not anyone's privi­lege, according to traditionalhumane treatment of terminal (orcomatose) patients. This is impliedin the Hippocratic. tradition inmedical ethics.

The problem is self-evidentlycomplicated by the introductionof legal judgments being invokedin the matter and by the dispersal,in many instances, of concernedfamily members. Moreover, -cer­tainsurgical practices (i.e.,abdominal gastrointestinal in­tubation) further complicate thedecision as to food and fluid

"was wanting a chapel," Mrs.Daneault noted, and on a typicalday, Mrs. Leary was among resi­dents streaming from morning

! services in the Manor chapel, toss­ing cheerful greetings as they passedthe administrator's office. FatherJustin J. Quinn is Madonna Man­or's chaplain.

Mrs. Leary was returning to herfirst floor room for a session withSue Savill, responsible for Mrs.Leary's restorative nursing care.

Restorative nursing, applied inconjunction with physical and oc­cupational therapy, aims to helppatients regain abilities previouslyimpaired.

"Helping them gain some sort ofindependence" is always a prior­ity, said Mrs. Daneault.

Through exercises which haveincreased her range of motion,Mrs. Leary has improved her abil­ity to perform such tasks as dress­ing herself and walking shortdistances.

It is no wonder she says of staffmembers, "Aren't they wonderful?"

As all involved with the dioce­san health facilities know, it issuch individual successes whichcontribute to the overall caring,family atmosphere that makes theseplaces homes, not institutions.

Marian ManorMarian Manor, 33 Summer St.

The Manor operated under reg­ulations governing hospitals until1976, when it changed to nursinghome standards. Subsequentlynew safety regulations necessitatedclosing the third floor, where the1930s construction was deemedhazardous. Consequently, the bedcapacity dropped to 83.

Staffed unta 1985 by the Carme­lite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm,the home, now administered' byJean M. Golitz, serves 107 resi­dents. Pastoral care is under direc­tion of Father Lucien Jusseaume,who provides many special observ­ances for residents in addition toregularly-scheduled Masses.

Renovations of the first floor,completed last December, saw con­version of 29 level III beds for res­idents requiring minimal care to26 level II beds for those in need ofskilled nursing. In the process, thefloor was completely upgrad-ed,with corridors and rooms repaintedand' refurnished and new carpetinginstalled.

Further renovations are plannedto convert a library-sitting roomto a main dining room, with spacein the present dining area expectedto become new resident rooms.

Our Lady's HavenA visit to lovely Our Lady's

Haven, 71 Center St. Fairhaven, islike a journey into Shakespeare'sEngland. Henry H. Rogers, whocommissioned its construction in1904, modeled it after an Eliza­bethan hostelry. The great bene­factor of the town of Fairhavennamed what was his enormousguesthouse Tabitha Inn in honorof his great-grandmother.

Among early guests was MarkTwain, whose room is now proudlyoccupied by resident Evelyn Oli­veira.

"This was Mark Twain's room,"she informs visitors. "Isn't it beau­tiful?"

After Roger's death in 1909, theinn became a commercial hotel,and later, during World War II,housed Coast Guard frainees. In1944 it was purchased by the FallRiver diocese, enlarged and re­christened Our Lady's Haven.

The home's spacious lawns inviteresidents to the out-of-doors inwarm weather and provide a beau­tiful ambience for the family-resi­dent cookouts that are a Haventradition. Within, especially in the

lar vistas of the Taunton River.Residents also enjoy watching theworld go by while sitting in theairy first-floor solarium or in thebeautifully landscaped gardenfronting the facility.

Founded in 1939, CMH cele­brated its golden jubilee with threedays of events in September.

Now aided by a large staff, theCarmelite sisters have been anintegral part of the home since its.beginning.

The order's foundress, MotherM. Angeline Teresa McCrory, ap­proached Bishop James E. Cas­sidy of Fall River in 1937 aboutopening a home for the aged in thediocese. A fund drive followed,and its success, plus a legacy of$75,000 willed to the bishop, en­abled construction of two homes:one for the elderly and one forretired and convalescing priests.

By 1939 the buildings were com­pleted and furnished, and MotherAngeline appointed a staff of Car­melite Sisters for the home. Thebuildings were blessed by BishopCassidy on July I and 2, 1939, atceremonies attended by mostpriests of the diocese.

CMH opened with 90 residents.Over the years, it has expandedfive times and thousands of agedpersons and priests have benefitedfrom the nursing home and priests'hostel.

Today CMH is filled to capacitywith 288 residents and is adminis­tered by Sister M. Shawn Ber­nadette Flynn, O. Carm.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Viet­nam (CNS) - Many nuns in HoChi Minh City have adapted to theconstraints of a communist stateby working with the people inagriculture and industry,.accord­ing to a new book.

The recent release of"Hien Dangva Phuc Vu" ("Devotion and Ser­vice"), by the Committee for theSolidarity of Patriotic Catholicsof Ho Chi Minh City, marks thefirst time in Vietnam that womenfrom different religious congrega­tions have written collectively abouttheir lives, reported UCA News,an Asian church news agency basedin Hong Kong.

The Committee for the Solidar­ity of Patriotic Catholics is a groupthatcooperates\vltll-tlie--vIeIna-­mese government - some out ofconviction, some at the request oftheir bishops.

Since 1975, the book says, nunshave been involved in society byworking in industry, agricultureand arts and crafts. "Devotion andService" calls this a "new pheno­menon," where nuns "do the workof everyone, like everyone ... yetthey are not entirely like everyone."

The book says many other nunscontinue their ministries in hospi­tals, leprosariums, orphanages,homes for the elderly and daycarecenters, even though all such churchproperties have been turned overto the state.

The book's foreword, written bynuns, says the book has two aims.The first is "to send to our friendsoverseas our thoughts and the pic­tures of our lives in our city." Thesecond, is to answer questions thepeople of the city might have aboutnuns.

Ho Chi Minh City's ArchbishopPaul Nguyen Van Binh wrote thebook's introduction.

The 157-page book includesarticles from the weekly Cong Giaova Dan Toc (The Catholic and theNation), statistics, descriptions ofmost congregations, articles writ­ten by nuns and eight pages ofglossy color photographs - saidto be a luxury considering thestandard publil.:ations in Vietnam.

According to the book, thereare 1,538 nuns in the Archdioceseof Ho Chi Minh City, including511 in the city proper. It said thereare 34 congregations, six societiesand three monasteries.

CRS asks flexibilityin food programsWASHINGTON (CNS) ­

Relief agencies dedicated to feed­ing the world's hungry need ade­quate funding, flexibility andfreedom from constrictive red tape,a Catholic Relief Services officialtold Congress.

John Swenson, deputy execu­tive director for the overseas reliefand development agency, com­mented in written testimony for arecent hearing of the House For-'eign Affairs Subcommittee onInternational Economic Policy andTrade.

He specifically addressed waysto improve the federal Food forPeace program. The U.S. govern­ment's 36-year-old internationalfood relief project, Food for Peaceis due for renewed approval aspart of the 1990 farm bill.

Since the inception of the pro­gram, Catholic Relief Services "hasdistributed more food to morecountries than any other privateorganization," he said. But a fewchanges in the program are inorder, he said, quoting from aGeneral Accounting Office study.

The study reported that privatevoluntary organizations complainthat their ability to implementeffective food aid programs ishampered by inadequate fundingof project expenses and cumber­some and unrealistic regulations.

Swenson said CRS supportsallowing relief agencies to use 2percent of program money allot­ted' them to pay for food distribu­tion or field operations costs.

He explained that developingnations' "austerity programs.haveforced them to make choices onpublic expenditures and we find,especially in Africa, that govern­ments are simply not able or wil­ling to make the necessary alloca­tions offunds for logistical costs offood programs."

Swenson also recommended thatfood aid regulations take into con­sideration the realities ofgeography, climate and poorlydeveloped transportation systems,which make "Iess-than-ideal oper­ating conditions."

Catholic Charities agencies on thehomeless, the lonely, the hungryand on other social services. Thepublic relatio~s campaign is to befinanced by private donors.

"As long as Catholic bishopswere' 'sentencing' Catholic politi­cians to hell (and shooting them­selves in the foot politically), fewpro-choice voices were critical," hewrote, referring to Auxiliary BishopAustin B. Vaughan of New Yorksaying in January that New YorkGov. Mario Cuomo "seriously risksgoing to hell" for his stands onabortion.

"Now the bishops seek to per­suade the electorate of the wisdomof their position," he concluded."In our country, that is their rightand may be their obligation. Med­dling is as American as apple pieand baseball."

Charities' awardgoes to Seattle

SEATTLE (CNS)- - Archbish­op Raymond G. Hunthausen ofSeattle told some 150 diocesanCatholic Charities directors fromaround the United States that they"are called to the poor."

In accepting the Catholic Chari­ties Directors' Award for an in­novative approach to providinglow-cost housing in the archdio­cese, Archbisho'p Hunthausenchallenged the directors to takerisks when necessary.

The four-day conference, April28-May I, was organized by Catho­lic Charities USA, which servesmember organizations throughconsultation, planning and infor­mation.

"You are to do what it takes tobuild the new earth," the arch­bishop said, "to confront oursociety which remains bent onmaintaining 50 percent of theearth's armaments in order to con­sume 50. percent of the earth'sgoods."

Further, the charities leadersmust "call our church to the ongo­ing sacrifice which is required inserving our mission," he said.

"You are called to these risksbecause you are called to the poor,"Archbishop Hunthausen said.

The Directors' Award went tothe Seattle archdiocese in recogni­tion of the fact that in eight yearsits Housing Authority has grownfrom 210 to 500 housing units andthe number of archdiocesan facili­ties offfering care' for the elderlyand/ or 'disabled, homeless menand the chronic mentally ill hasincreased from one to 10.

At a workshop, participants dis­cussed implementation of the 1989Catholic Charities USA's policystatement, "A Just Food System."

Representatives of several dioce­san agencies described their effortsto confront hunger. Most involvedfood banks, collection of food­stuffs and funds, providing freemeals and using federally fundedprograms for the poor.

Father Alfred Rockers, CatholicCharities director for the Dioceseof Kansas City in Kansas, told TheProgress, newspaper for the Seat­tle Archdiocese, that the statement"is still just a policy paper" andthat urban and rural food outletprograms are "hand-to-mouth"emergency measures.

"Our work, good as it is, leavesthe major task undone: How tostop the perpetuation of the prob­lem of hunger," he said.

WASHINGTON (CNS) ­Colunmist Mark Shields has opinedthat U.S. bishops, in hiring publicrelations professionals to "persuadethe electorate of the wisdom oftheir position" on abortion, areexercising "their right and [it] maybe their obligation."

Published in The WashingtonPost May I, Shields' column saidthat the "pro-choice groups haveshrewdly cast the abortion debate- after extensive polling andmarket testing - in terms of whois deciding rather than what isbeing decided."

That argument of keepinggovernment out of personal deci­sions, he said, is libertarian. Yet,"liberals who have long advocatedan activist, energetic governmentseem unbothered that similararguments have been used against"laws regarding seat belts, drugs~nd machine guns.

Shields noted -that the bishops"have been widely criticized" for.hiring the Hill and Knowlton pub­lic relations firm and the WirthlinGroup, a politically connected·polling firm from suburban Wash­ington.

In 1886, Cardinal James Gib­bons of Baltimore supported tran­sit workers striking against a 17­hour workday and was criticizedby The New York Times for"meddling in non-church affairs,"Shields commented.

"The nation's Catholic bishopshave continued to meddle in non-'church affairs," Shields said, list­ing their criticisms of PresidentRonald Reagan's policies affect­ing the poor, their endorsement ofa nuclear freeze and their supportfor limits on funding for the Nica­raguan contras.- "Until recently the-meddling ofthe Catholic bishops had played topositive reviews from the secularleft of American politics," he wrote.

Now with their hiring of publicrelations help, he said, "the bishopshave been publicly denounced aseverything but moral lepers andethical eunuchs."

The Rev. Martin Luther KingJr. taught that religion was "notthe master or the servant of thestate but rather the conscience ofthe state," said Shields, quotingthe late civil rights leader.

As for arguments that the bishopsare wasting $5 million for publicrelations that might go for thepoor, Shields cited good done bythe $850 million spent last year by

"Hate law" enactedWASHINGTON (CNS)-Presi­

dent Bush has signed a law requir­ing the federal government to com­pile records on crimes of hatredagainst someone's race, religion,sexual orientation or ethnic back­ground to help fight such crimes.The legislation was backed by relig­ious organizations, including theU.S. Catholic Conference, and bycivil rights, police and public in­terest groups. The Justice Depart­ment will compile "hate crime"statistics through use ofthe annualuniform crime reporting programof the Federal Bureau of Investi­gation; and a toll-free telephonenumber will be established for citi­zens reporting hate crimes.

"catastrophe" as a terrible humili­ation. Instead she regarded it withhumor and saved the day for her­self and those around her.

This is not to say thatfleatherwalks down the yellow brick roadlaughing all the way 24 hours aday. Nor should any of us.

There is a serious aspect to ourlives, too. Even on an ordinary,monotonous weekday importantthings happen to us, things thatcan in some way affect our eternity.

We may have to make a decisionabout whether to be mean or kindto a classmate. We may have todecide whether to obey or disobeyour parents in some way.

An ordinary day may be the daywhen we finally are able to studywell instead of goofing off. Anordinary day may be the one whenwe say no to a cigarette.

These are not major decisions-like whether or not to get mar­ried - but they are serious onesnonetheless. Life is fulrof them.

Maybe such decisions as thesewere- wHat St. Paul had in mindwhen he wrote, "Watch carefullyhow you live, not as foolish per­sons but as wise, making the mostof the opportunity.... Try to learnwhat is pleasing to the Lord."

tion and, to her delight, she caughtthe bride's bouquet. ,

It was at the wedding receptionthat what Heather later referred toas "my catastrophe" occurred.

Part' of the reception was abuffet, mountains offood laid outon a long table on which werequite a few small white candlesburning brightly.

Heather picked up a napkin, sil­verware and plate, walked downthe table a bit and started spoon­ing some potato salad onto herplate, not aware that her napkinhad unfolded and was danglingfrom her hand.

As she began putting some hamon her plate, another bridesmaidscreamed: "Heather, your napkin'son fire!" It had brushed a candleflame.

There was an instant of panic.Instead of dropping the napkin onthe floor, Heather flung it awayfrom herself - and saw it land, .burning brightly, on the weddingcake!

That was Heather's "catas­trophe." She apologized profusely,and the bride and groom were gladshe had not been harmed.

Then from Heather came savinglaughter. "Sometimes I do thedumbest things," she said grinning.

Heather, you see, is not grimlyserious about herself all day long.She is able to laugh at her foiblesand her minor failings, for she hasnever claimed or expected to beperfect.

and that violence against theunborn is wrong.

In spite of what you hear frompopular music and see on televi­sion and movie screens, you shouldface the fact that sexual relationsare not trivial. You need to admitto yourselves that you will behappier if you wait for sex untilyou are married.

We all need to ponder the ques­tion by the girl who asked, "Howmuch violence are you willing totolerate?"

All fonDS of violence are dehu­manizing: violence against our ownflesh, against an "enemy" in a mil­itary uniform, against the poor orhomeless, against the criminal.

The basis of personal, emotionaland spiritual well-being, as well asthe survival of the planet, ulti­mately rests on the resolution toreject violence.

The young men and women Imet who think that sex is some­thing teens simply must have andthat the abortion rights movementis a social phenomenon worthy' ofapplause have been misled.

They have swallowed whole away of thinking which encouragesirresponsibility and disregard forthe rights of the next generation.

The only way to get beyond thisconfusion is to examine and reex­amine abortion. Abortion can bevery hard to confront. In spite ofthis, I hope that young people willgive serious consideration to themoral, religous and human valuesat stake.

To them I say: I think you knowhow important it is to respectyourselves and your procreativepotential. If you really are honestwith yourself and open to the HolySpirit, you will develop a sense ofwisdom and the courage to actjustly.

You will not be confused abouthow much violence you are willingto tolerate.

DAUGHTERS AND DADS had a great time at the 95thBirthday Ball of Dominican Academy, Fall River. Above andleft to right Corey Byers, Kelly DeGagne and Erica andAmanda Bento with their proud escorts .. (Gaudette photos)

By Eileen FlynnA short time ago I had an expe­

rience I found very upsetting.I was on a panel at a public

school. The subject was abortionand the give and take betweenpanel and audience lasted morethan two hours. When I left, I feltas though I had been through thewringer.

There was a lot of participationfrom the more than 200 high schoolstudents in the auditorium. What Iheard them say troubled me deeply.

On the whole, they seemed com­fortable with casual sex. They alsoseemed to consider abortion theway to eliminate a complicationwhich frequently follows sexualactivity.

Incredibly, abortion representeda practical remedy for a commonindiscretion. Many students balkedat the judgment that abortion iswrong morally and were barelycivil to panelists who held thatposition.

Of course, I am generalizing.Not everyone spoke and one hasno way of knowing what the silentstudents were thinking.

However, there was one girlwho spoke with a quiver in hervoice and who kept me from totaldisillusionment.

She courageously asked herpeers, "Am I the only one herewho thinks it is wrong to destroyyour own flesh and blood? Howmuch violence are you willing totolerate?"

Those of my copanelists whochampioned women's dominionover their bodies and safe, hygi- .enic abortions were applauded.The majority of students showedlittle sympathy for the tiny,vulnerable lives flushed out duringabortion.

I wish there were some way forme to communicate with youngpeople who are swayed by pro­abortion rhetoric. If I were able toestablish a channel of communica­tion, I would urge adolescents tosearch their hearts until they dis­cover the truths that life is sacred
