The Pope's message praisedthe proposed Habitat affirmation of general princip'les beingstudied here for stressing thetheme that "human beings constitute the most important element in the universe..
It said that the conference,while noting the primary problem-solving role of techniciansand sociaIly motivated "creativegeniuses," was praiseworthy forits emphasis upon the "constructive participation of peoples" inits decision-making.
The present conference willmake "once more possible" theaffirmation of clear political willby the nations, the Pope said,and it will enable internationalcooperation "to be expressed inbold, realistic and precise programs."

He is ...curentlyspiritual director for the Fraternity of the Sick in Arequipa andhe also does hospital work.
Nothing So ImportantRegarding his 25 years as a
priest Father Murray says, "Ithas been a privilege to be inPeru during this time. . . . To
. me there is nothing so importantas this - to be a bearer of theGood News." He feels his mostimportant experience over' theyears has been the formation oflay catechists for outlying Indian communities. These lay catechists have been "faithful pastoral agents who have taken·care of the religious formation oftheir people," he explains.

-Open housing programs often, as in the Chicago case ruledon by the court, perpetuate blackghettos in the cities.
-Most urban ethnics, predominantly Catholics, are nomore financially able than theirblack neighbors to move intothe s4,burbs.
-Many urban ethnics do not,in fact want to move to thesuburbs but want to maintaintheir own neighborhoods. Butif it is not federal policy not tobreak . up such neighborhoods,it is also not federal .policy tomaintain or improve them.
"Any time they talk about'ethnics' is wholesome, I suppose, but there's been no pay-offyet," according to Father PaulAsciolla of the National Centerfor Urban Ethnic Affairs, commenting on the "ethnic purity"debate.
In fact, he notes, "both ethnics and blacks have been written off in the campaign so far."
Father Asciolla and other ethnic leaders, such as Msgr. GenoBaroni, president of the NationalCenter for Urban Ethnic Affairs,complain that ethnics and blacksare portrayed as being in con·flict when they really have agood deal in common. Msgr.Baroni, a leading community organizer, emphasizes the need toestablish black-ethnic coalitions.
"Ethnics have more in common with those below themeconomically (blacks) than theydo with those above them," according to Father Asciolla. Another ethnic specialist, authortheologian Michael Novak, notesthat progressive legislation inAmerica has only been obtainedwhen blacks and ethnics haveworked together.
Msgr. Baroni argues that thetwo major missing elements- inpolitical discussion of "ethnic"issues are an understanding ofpluralism and a policy for neighborhoods.
The problem, according toMsgr. Baroni, is that "we aredivided, fearful and afraid ofeach other." America is rejecting the "melting pot" conceptbut has not yet found a way ofexpressing pluralism or findingways to live together, he says.
"Pluralism, domestically andinternationally, is a reality andeducation to live in a pluralisticworld, therefore, a necessity,"Msgr. Baroni told the NationalCatholic Educational AssociationEaster week. "The task is toprepare people to live in a plu-ralistic world in communitiesrepeating his support for open

We believe he is with us still ... giving us HisSpirit ... a Holy Spirit of wholeness and healing ~ .. aunifying, centering Spirit ... to make us whole ... atpeace . . . at one.
"Lord ... help me put the pieces of my life together'... Help me become whole."
Within. the past few weeks,two incidents have occurredwhich have demonstrated thelack of understanding of "ethnicissues" among politicians andthe mass media.
The first involved Jimmy Carter's "ethnic purity" commentsand reaction to them. In a newspaper interview and later in aspeech, Carter said he, opposedthe use of federal power tobreak up "ethnic purity" in ethnically "homogeneous" neighborhoods. When he was criticized for his remarks, he repliedsupported open housing.
Carter's main Democratic primary opponents at the time, Sen.Henry Jackson and Rep. MorrisUdall, criticized Carter's language but indicated that theirpositions were essentially thesame as his. President Ford alsofollowed up Carter's remarks bycriticizing his language, praisingAmerica's "ethnic treasure" and

Congratulations are surely in order to all the manystudents who have completed their courses on many levelsof academic achievement.'
Whether is be the elementary or secondary or collegeor university or graduate level, the reaching of a goal is acommendable thing and indicates a measure of work and'determination and constancy.
Persons need these victories to realize their potentialfor succesS and they deserve the accolades that come tothem from administrators and faculty and pleased parentsand relatives and friends.
They deserve some time to bask in their spotlights, toenjoy the sweet smell of success.
They also deserve to be reminded that a graduationis also termed a commencement.
The cycle is never just brought to an end.Every step in life is a progression toward another step;
every level a reaching up to another level; every finish theinauguration of another beginning; every graduation istruly another commencement.
The satisfaction of a step well completed is also thechallenge to another yet to begin.
And this is precisely how an academic graduation mustbe viewed.
There is nothing frightening or tedious or dishearteningabout such a view. It is the sign of life, of vitality. It is theglorious and memorable quality 'of growth. And the successinherent in the reality of a graduation points to the challengeand future success of the newly-undertaken commencement.
Life at StakeAny time that Pope Palll, Mother Teresa and Barbara
Ward look to a meeting with hope and expectation, thenthe rest of us should pay attention as well..
This is· the case with the United Nations Conferenceon Human Settlements - Habitat - taking place in Vancouver, Cana;da.
The emphasis is on housing but not merely from astatistical or economic point of view. A Vatic'an paper addressed to the group calls for the highest priority to begiven to housing in the widest sense - the practical settlingof persons in houses that take into account their essentialbiological needs such as nutrition, hygiene and health, andinclude provisions for their social needs to enable themto live worthy lives in terms of family stability, employment, education and community ahd religious needs.
The wish of the Pope is that persons be viewed in'their totality and that answers to housing needs be notonly in the economic or consumerism ~rea, but take intoaccount fundamental requirements especially with regardto' the most helpless and abused and victimized.
I~ an age when people are anxious to protest at thesight of injustice and poverty and evil, here is an area ofmost pressing concern, and here is a conference in aposition to do something on a global scale to answer aglobal need.
This is a worthy effort toward which people everywhere need more sensitivity, an effort most deserving ofraised voices and insistent demands for action.
For what is at stake is life.

"Actually, I found that thejob of Regional Superior waslonelier, in a sense. It involveddirecting mission work, dealingwith the hierarchy and the government. Working directly withlocal people is much more fu1filling and satisfying."
Father Breen's first visits tovillages along the rivers weresimply to make contacts withparishioners. Then he was ableto introduce the catechists, whowould stay for a week or two indifferent villages.
"The main job of the catechists is to find people willing tolearn the doctrine and to teachit to others in their' communities,'( says Father Breen. "Afterthe first year, we have 128 localleaders who have 'taken thebasic three-week course andhave promised to teach others."
Father Breen is looking forward to more help in the parish.Three young women who teachat Monte Maria School in Guatemala City have given up theirvacations to work in Sayaxche.Basically their .job will be totalk with various groups of parishioners to find out their needs.
"Then we will have to sitdown together and decide thebest way to meet those needs,"says Father Breen.
The parish already is growingas new families settle along anew road that promises to openup the jungle area. They arebuilding a small town called LasCruces. They come from all overGuatemala, from the 'mountainsand lowlands, to look for land,although the government has notyet decided its policy of distribution.
Center of UnityIf Las Cruces becomes the
center of the area. Father Breenplans to build a small house like 'the others there. He would livewith and in the style of the people he serves.

orite part of the sacristan's job,he said, and it forms a large partof his work, with some 12Masses celebrated at the chapelon holy days for the convenience of downtown workers andshoppers, and many on otherdays as well.
"We used to have 32 Masseson holy days." he .recalled, "butnow that vigil Masses are permitted, we don't need so manyon the holy days themselves."
Carter is also involved in preparations for other chapel services, which include clinics for alcoholics and mental p~tients,
lecture series and nearly roundthe clock availablity of counselors and confessors.
A close friend of Carter isRev. Ralph Tetrault of SacredHeart parish, Fall River, and hewas pleased that the diocesanpriest was among concelebrantsof the Mass last month whichmarked both the 20th anniversary of O~r Lady's Chapel andCarter's affiliation to the FirstOrder.

Carter's association with theFriars Minor began as soon asthey arrived in New Bedford twodecades ago. "At first I was avolunteer at the chapel," he related. "I would help out onweekends with cooking. Thenthe sacristan position became available and the superior askedme if I would be interested in. it. And I've been here eversince."

at St. Luke's Hospital in NewBedford and he admitted heknew nothing of the duties of asacristan. But he is now an ,expert in all phases of the work 'and when necessary he also relieves the friars on duty in thesmall religious goods and con-

and the status of women is an"everything" conference.
One of the most difficultthings here has been to keepabout 1,000 delegates and 120non-governmental organizations(NGOs) on the Habitat trackhousing, homes, cities, ruralurban distribution, migration,and national and internationalpolitical decisions. It was veryeasy for specialists to get offon an economic technology orarchitectural kick, forgettingHabitat's purpose.
The nitty-gritty of Habitat isbeing done in three committees,out of which wiH come: a declaration of principles, recommendations for nationa1 action byparticipating governments, andprograms for international cooperation. The international programs part will suggest how theUN can 'reorganize its machinery to cope most effectivelywith human settlement problems.

"What do you hope fromHabitat?"
"If they concentrate on onething, and do it, it will beenough."
There were many moving moments in that day, but for me,the most moving was at thatpress conference. As I stood behind her, and watched the -scene-suddenly my heart burnedwithin me.
I think I got a glimpse of herrelation to us - to the hardbitten, the incredulous. Her littlebody (I could not see her face)so tiny, so humble-contrastedstrangely with the rest, and itseemed odd to see so little athing the center of so muchscrutiny.
And 1 knew that she wasbearing witness to anotherorder in that moment, asat every moment. That this wasone side of her prayer. Thatshe was suffering in that moment for us, with Jesus hermaster. That none of us wouldever penetrate her mystery ofthe cross.

"I 'was so worried aboutthem," she told me. "Theymust be cold."
Softly about GodI organized a hasty press con
ference in a tiny, unlightedroom at the forum -- the 'bestroom we could find. She satobediently at one end of a plywood table, and journalistscrammed around the walls, andstationed themselves on thedusty table, for lack of anywhere else to sit. She spokevery softly about the love ofGod, and answered their questions.
"Some people hate God, because of the evils they see-because of the way poor peoplehave to live," said one.
"That is not God, that isman" she replied.

By Jerry BartramVANCOUVER (NC)-She had
a speda" word for everyone shemet, a word that went straightto the soul.
When she met a youngmother, she said, "Make yourhome a holy place."
The young man at the gateof Habitat Forum who, stoppedour car told her how wonderfulshe is, and she said, "We worktogether. I cannot do your work.You cannot do mine. But together we can do somethingbeautiful for God."
To Barbara Ward: "Peter stillhas work for you to do."
To me, taking a tender interest in my work and my paper,
. the B.C. (British Columb,ia)Catholic, she said that peopleare damaged more by the thingsthey read than almost anythingelse, and that I have a great responsibility to bring truth.
I was her chauffeur for mostof the day she spent in Vancouver for the Habitat Conference.It was a busy day, a day of manyengagements, many encounters.
And always she was still andrecollected. Always she had aspecial message for each personwhom she met.
As we 'left the chill dampnessof Hangar 5, where a symposium on the handicapped was in
tunately for him, there wasn'ttime. I stormed off, and drivingto the appointment rehearsedthe piece of my mind I wasgoing to give him when I gotback. Before long I had mentallyprepared a technicolor tirade.
And what did I accomplish?I had driven unsafely, possibly
even endagered others' lives. Isowed ulcer seeds for myself.And I really didn't change beinglate for the appointment.
For what? My anger wouldn'tchange whether or not he'd belate again in the future.
Thinking about it on the wayback home, I decided there mustbe a better way. I tried to thinkabout the situation differently.
Suppose all those fears I hadwere true. Suppose he had beenkilled in an accident.
It ,seemed morbid . . . till Itried imagining it.
I pictured our church filledwith relatives and friends, and acasket in the center aisle.
It took great effort; it waspainful. But I made myself actually see the faces of my family.
Our pastor was in the pulpit,about to give the eulogy.
What would he say?.Would I want him to express
the angry thoughts 1 had beenrehearsing? Would I expect tohear about my son's irresponsihility, inconsiderateness, thoughtlessness, selfishness? Would Icare about the difficulty itcaused me?
Or would 1 want the eulogyto reflect my deeper thoughts.
I would stop and considerevery good thing about him. Iwould enumerate his virtues. Iwould profess my love.
One of the greatest humanfailings is that we wait untilafter pE:0p1e are dead to givethem a piece of our heart.
Obviously, whenever I'm angry I'm not going to imaginesomebody's eulogy. But maybethere isa better course - halfway between two extremes._ Next time you're angry, try it.Try getting off by yourself. Thinkit through thoroughly.
I found it did as much goodfor me as it did for my son.

I rarely get angry. But when I do, I hold it inside. Thereit churns and storms. This does nothing for solving theproblem that caused me to be angry in the first place. I don'tlike being angry. I've been told that some people find greatpleasure in nursing grudges,carrying on feuds, .startingdonnybrooks. That wouldmake me sick.
Even if there is apparentlygood cause, I find anger erodesme. And if the anger is at someone I love, it can be disastrous.

If I'm annoyed with one of mykids, I try to be reasonable, tryto explain. Usually, in a day ortwo, I've forgotten whatever itwas. And most times I've forgotten because it wasn't reallyworth getting upset about in thefirst place.
But every once in a whilesomething really sets me off,like an incident that happenedthe other day. Now, I think I'vefound a better way of dealingwith anger.
My teen-age son took our family car and promised he'd beback by noon. I had an important appointment across townat 4 p.m. .-
By 1 I was annoyed that hehadn't returned, but there wasstill time. By 2 I was sure hehad had an accident; I was readyto check with the police. By 3I was furious, ready' to wring
. his neck. By 3:30 I envisioneda lO-car pile-up with him in themiddle.
All afternoon I had fluctuatedbetween anger and fear. Oneminute I was sure he simplydidn't care whether I was ontime for· my appointment; thenext minute I was sure he'dbeen in an accident.
At 3:45 he walked in, handedme the keys, and said, "SorryI'm 'late, Mom. I got talking tosome of my friends . . ."

to intensify the petition drive,setting a goal of between 5 and10 miIlion signatures.
A part time advertising salesman for The Catholic Witness,an insurance adjuster and a candidate for the permanent dioconate, Mazzacaro placed the fullpage ad, which explains the Fatima story and includes a petition to the Pope, in the March11 issue of the Catholic weeklynewspaper. Since then he has,with the aid of financial contributions, run smaller advertisements weekly.
An eight page pamphlet explaining the petition and its relation to the conversion of Russia is sent free by the Blue Armyto anyone who sends a stamped,self-addessed envelope to itsheadquarters in Washington,N.J. (07882).
Those interested in sponsoringa similar advertisement in theirown diocesan paper may writeto Mazzacaro at' 3300 Union Deposit Road, Harrisburg, Pa.(17109) for a free copy of hisadvertisement.

POWER OF PRESS: Are Catholic publications read? "Youbet they are," smiles Gus Mazzacar6 of Harrisburg, Pa., displaying some of thousands of responses to full page ad inhis diocesan paper asking signatures for petition that Popeconsecrate Russia to Mary. '-
HARRISBURG, Pa~ (NC)Henry Kissinger wants to establish detente with Russia. GusMazzacaro wants to convert it.
Using a full page advertisement in the Catholic Witness,Harrisburg diocesan newspaper,Mazzacaro _said he has collected10,000 signatures on a petitionasking Pope Paul VI to consecrate Russia to the' ImmaculateHeart of Mary.
His effort stems from· whatthree Portuguese children learned at Fatima Portugal early inthis century.
Our Lady appeared to thechildren six times between Mayi3 and Oct. 13, 1917. During theJuly appearance, the children reported that she promised theconversion of Russia when .thePope and all the bishops of' theworld consecrated it to her immaculate heart.
The Vatican has not responded to the request, despite pleasfrom a number of quarters, including the International BlueArmy of Our Lady of Fatima.
Claiming' a membership of 20million around the world, theBlue Army is a persistent advocate of the consecration and has'collected 2 miIlion signaturessupporting it, mostly in the United States.
Millions Wanted
But because they felt such anaction, with all its political andtheological overtones, demandedmore worldwide support, BlueArmy leaders decided last year
"I will take on half the salesmen of any sizable corporation;let the corporation take on theother half. Starting with themost successful salesman, thecompany gets the best man; Iget the second best and so ondown the Hne. I guarantee thatafter the first year I can improvethe sales of my group at 1eastuntil its record exceeds by fiveper cent the group that was previously leading."
This author has done this timeand time again and now hisideas and theories are in thisbook.
While many companies wouldbe glad to hire Molloy to workout their training program, thenext best thing would be to havetheir junior executives read thisbook. And I certainly feel thata book of this type should bewritten for career women.
Molloy also touches on dresscodes and I feel that this is another area that where guidanceis essential for both men andwomen in the business world,an area that is slowly erodingsimply because of the disappearance of such codes.

For 30 years or more there -has been intermittent talkin Washingto~ about the need for national health insurancein the United States. This year there is at least a possibilitythat the Congress may stop talking about it and begin to act.The_ Congress has before it awidely sponsored Health S-ecurity Act, strongly supported by organized laborand a number .of other influential organizations. It places tiglltcontrols on doctors' fees andhospital charges- and mandates a

rather sweeping reorganizationof the health delivery system. Itwould also change the wayAmericans pay for medical carewith financing done in a mannersimilar to that used in the SocialSecurity system.
Two House subcommitteeshave conducted a series of hearings over the last few monthson national health insurance.The issue is likely to get another airing during the summerand early fall when labor andmanagement in several key industries enter this year's round ofcollective bargaining negotiations. The auto workers, whowill begin negotiating with theBig Three in July, anticipate thatthe subject of health care, and'who pays for it, will loom largeat the negotiating tabie.
Not WorkingThe present system of volun
tary controls supplied by BlueCross/Blue Shield and other major insurers is simply not working.
This seems to be the case nationwide. For example, here atthe U. S. Catholic Conference,health premiums for conferenceemployees was recently increased by 57 percent-an increase attributable to skyrocketing health costs in the nation'scapital. But accelerating costsare only a part of the problem.Lack of adequate preventivehealth care, over-specialization,and other abuses are also beingstressed as 'arguments in favorof the enactment of a nationalhealth insurance program.
I do not mean to suggest thatthe health security proposal nowpending before - the Congresswill necessarily be enactedin its present form. - TheCongress will almost certainlyhave to consider amendments.Catholic hosl'ital interests,among others, will no doubtseek to revise the present bill. Isay this on the basis of recent

Maybe it is a necessary lie,a lie for the' "good of thechurch," as John Courtney Murray used to say.
But let me ask such men onemore question: They know, ofcourse, that the basic outlinesof our findings about the rejection of "Humanae Vitae" andthe document's impact on theChurch are true. In private conversation they never deny it.Perhaps they have to reasserttheir loyalty to the encyclical tokeep Rome happy. But whatdoes it do to the Church whena document which has' clearlybeen rejected is reasserted in theteeth of the evidence that it hasbeen a disaster? What happenswhen the teaching Church saysto the learning Church, in effect,"We don't care what you think?"
Does it not weaken even morethe credibility of the hierarchy?Does it not make a bad situation even worse? Would it nothave been better to iust saynothing?

it suggests that it does. Thereare no social scientists on thestaff of the Church and no capacity to play the role of intelligent consumer of social sciencedata. Resident journalists likeMr. Shaw must double in brassas social scientists whenever theChurch needs such expertise. Tosuggest that the capacity for responsible professional evaluation exists is merely a techniquefor questioning the competencyof researchers - one with minoreffectiveness. it is also dishonest..
In truth, given the newness ofthe social change style of research lmd the complexity of the"d systems" models, I doubt thatthere is a single sociologist onthe staff of a Catholic universitywho is capable of making a technical evaluation of the report(one previous evaluation doneby such a "scholar" betrayedthat he didn't even understandmultiple regression techniques).There are certainly Catholics inthe country who could make anintelligent evaluation and exposethe weakness of the survey and of course it has weaknesses,as do all human efforts (manyof them quite explicitly acknowledged in the text). But the official Church doesn't know a1;loutthem - and with good reason.
Meciiocre ImitationThe Catholic universities
should have done this study ofthe effects of the Vatican Council and "Humanae Vitae"" a longtime ago. However, having longsince committed themselves tomediocre imitation of what everyone else is doing, all they canprovide now is jargon for chancery office releases.
What the Church leadershipis hoping for, of course, is thatsome inept and envious Catholicsociologist will ride into the frayto prove that "Humanae Vitae"was not a disaster for theChurch. Doubtless, such peoplewill turn up in the reviews ofthe book since Catholic journals,as a matter of principle, it wouldseem, choose envious and ineptreviewers for atl their books.
One Catholic journal askedfor a list of names of competentscholars to review the report,then told me that of course itcouldn't accept a recommendation from the author. Why thehell ask, then?
'Necessary Lie'But there is more dishonesty
than the pretense of scholarlyevaluation. The text of the report has been available to certain Church leaders for a longtime. Indeed, many of themwere briefed in great detail onits findings - as a matter ofsimple courtesy. I had no intention of revealing these briefings
- and even now, I wiH notname names - but the impliedcharge of incompetence doesn'tgive me much choice. IIf theleadership seriously planned anevaluation, it could have doneone months ago. It didn't and itdoesn't, and lies when it attempts to imply that it does.

GREELEY
Says Hierarchy Credibility~eakened by Evidence
The Chicago chancery's statement did not bother to mentionthat the report insisted on thepriority of theology in determining Church teaching - thusneatly implying that the threeauthors of the report were denying that priority.
Such bland restatement of theofficial position is the sort ofthing that the hired PR guns ofthe Church - like the USCC'sineffable Russell Shaw - cangrind out in their sleep. No oneis expected to take them seri-ously. .
But there was a nervous edgeto many of the statements. Longstudy, controversy, leading questions, dubious methods - all ofthese neat little phrases weretossed out to suggest that, well,maybe the authors were not allthat competent and that theChurch leadership would call inits host of superior social scienceexperts to sagely reveal to themthe weaknesses of the methodology of the report.
The Chicago chancery wasquite explicit about it all.
"Evaluation by professionalsin the field will be helpful, sincethe authors suggest that theirstatistical study definitely provesa casual relationship (betweenthe birth-control statement anddeclines in religious practicesand the Roman Catholic schoolsystem). This 'certainty' seemsto exceed the scientific limitations of inference normally associated with the statistical methods employed."
Simple TruthNow if the chancery's hack or
his expert on sociological jargonhad bothered to read the reportbefore shooting from the hip, hewould have realized that the "dsystems" model used in the sortof social change research attempted in "Catholic Schools in'a Declining Church" do indeedadmit of causal inference andunder some circumstances canproduce "definitive" proof - atleast definitive insofar as historyor social science are concerned.
The simple truth is that theAmerican Church - to say nothing of the Chicago chancery has no intention of providingany "professional evaluation" oJthe report and it misleads when
I thought I was beyond being shocked by the intellectual dishonesty of the American Catholic Church, but thereaction of "official statements" to the new study, "Catholic Schools in -a Declining Church," surprised even me.Obviously, Church leadership has no choice but toreaffirm its enthusiastic support of the birth-controlencyclical and to note-as thereport did, incidentally - thatsociology cannot dictate theological decisions.

First, be aware of the strongtendency not to listen and the

"The Ultra Secret" is a fascinating account by F. W. Winterbotham of how the British undercover service cracked a German. "unbreakable" secret codejust prior to World War II.
Through theft from Germanyand reconstruction in Englandof a complex machine for dispatching signals, the Allies knewall during that conflict in the1940s the most hush-hush ordersof the GerJ1lan High Commandalmost instantly and sometimeseven before the Nazi field commanders.
Poor Listener
Winterbotham in summaryseems to accuse Clark of notbeing a good listener, of failingto take advantage of ideas orinformation available to him, ofan inability to accept somethingnew and unfamiliar.
I leave to others the task ofevaluating that writer's criticismabout Clark and of determiningfor history what exactly happened at Anzio. As in the accountsof Christ's appearances after theResurrection, I am sure theseare many and varied reports.
But accurate or not, it doesoffer an illustration of listeningor, better, non-listening.
Gen. Clark's apparent failureto heed the advice given costlives and now receives publicitybecause he served in a leadership role of great importance.Our failure to listen may nothave such drastic consequences,
In the book Gen. Mark Clarkdoes not fare very well. At an
. initial briefing session duringwhich Winterbotham gave details of "Ultra" to the top members of Eisenhower's staff, theauthor writes:
"Mark Clark was restless fromthe start.' I explained not onlywhat the source was, but in anendeavor to catch Mark Clark'sinterest gave some pertinent examples of what it could do. Ihad intended to follow this withan explanation of how the information would reach him, andthe security regulations whichaccompanied its use. But MarkClark didn't appear to believethe first part, an dafter a quartthe first part, and after a quartself and his officers on thegrounds he had something elseto do ..."
Later, in the description of theagony at Italy's Anzio beach, th~
writer details Clark's refusal toaccept and follow the information "Ultra" supplied him on twooccasions. The consequenceswere dismal.
The General finally, monthsafterwards, did believe secretdata advising him Rome was undefended. "He organized twoflying columns and made a triumphal personal entry into theEternal City, ahead of anyoneelse."
endurance that comes of listening to those who emotionallysuffer. It is in accepting our ownfeelings of joy and pain. Jesus'rising is in the "meal on wheels"program, the hot lines, the giving of blood. Jesus' rising is insupporting widows and divorcees, prison victims, lonely clerics who may be asked to forever solve others' problems andnever have someone to sharetheirs. Jesus' rising may be asconcrete as patience when a lin£of traffic halts us unduly on ourway to a party. It. is as concreteas reaching out to make others'loneliness less acid or shovellingneighbors' walks when they areill; it is as near as stopping tofix a stranded person's flat tireon the highway.
Concrete ActsWe are forever being convert

Nothing cQuld be less meaningfulth~n simply recording Christ'sopen tomb in a closed-off world.Yet we are often tempted toplace faith in abstract terms, tomake philosophic distiqctionsthat make little difference inhow we live day-in and day-out.Jesus' resurrection invites usnow to reach out concretely andto touch others even when wefear to do so.

counters were put into writingby the several Evangelists, re-
"miniscences had become in someinstances a bit vague, perhapseven confused, and over the intervening years had been subjected to no little theologicalinterpretation.
There are, however, someclearly discernible constants inall of this material. One is thediscovery of the empty tomb on .the first" day of the week. Eventhis event is variously describedfrom one Gospel to the other,but they all do record it, andthat is very significant. Ofcourse, the mere fact of an empty tomb proves nothing. It couldhave been explained in any number of ways~ Mary Magdalenecomplained to the Lord, whomshe mistook for the" gardener,that they had taken away theLord's body and she knew notwhere to look. And the enemiesof the Apostles later accusedthem of having stolen the corpse. Significantly, however, theynever denied that the tomb wasindeed empty. The mystery ofthe empty tomb was eventuallycleared up for the disciples bythe appearances of the risenChrist. In the light of these experiences they knew at last whythe tomb was empty. It wasbecause God had given Jesus thevictory over the forces of evil

we are standing back and seeingobjectively into history. We havewatched the "Adams Chronicles"and similar programs which callus back to roots of our American venture in freedom. This isvery helpful. It could be evenmore helpful if we truly soughtto ask the questions: What doesthis history mean now to us? Isthere any relationship betweenour nation's foundation, built onOld Testament covenant termsof a promised land, and our ability today to freely grow?
The resurrection of Jesus is anhistorical event. Most believershave little trouble accepting itas a fact, although the termsof understanding it are difficult.But the acid question sooner orlater makes its way into ourlives: What difference or effectdoes that resurrection of Jesushave in our lives? Does it reallymatter in how we try to liveday-by-day? It is rather falselyacademic to see the resurrectionof Jesus in universal terms andnever to come to grips with itseffects in our lives, in our joysand in the times when we cryout, "Where are you, Lord?"

ByFATHER JOHN J. CASTELOT
Inspiringly beautiful thoughthey are, the Gospel accounts ofthe resurrection experiences ofthe disciples are among the mostdifficult passages of the NewTestament. They record differenttraditions which often defy harmonization one with the other.For instance, one traditionplaces all the appearances of therisen Lord in an around Jerusalem, all on Easter Sunday inLuke, one on Easter day andanother on the following Sunday, as in John 20. Another tradition, represented by Matthewand John 21, recalls only appearances in Galilee - on amonutain in Matthew and on theshore of the lake in John. Andneither tradition' seems to beaware of the other. This is justone of the difficulties involvedjust one among many.
Of course, we should not really be too surprised at this. Otherevents of our Lord's career werehistorically controllable, like thepassion, of which we have afairly smooth, consecutive narrative, frOm arrest to trial to torture to crucifixion, death, andburial. But the post-resurrectionexperiences involved isolated,and mysterious, encounters withthe risen Lord, without any clearchronological or geographicalsequence. By the time these en-

I could seeso little hope in their reductionby time and by the ravages ofexperience. I feared that hearingtoo much would depress me, forloneliness and age is heavystuff. In the course of the summer I felt a kind of gradual conversion to these people. As I didceramics with an older man, Iheard his life story and I beganto understand how much myfear was an illusion. He was aperson, needy and beautiful,made with human needs and human hopes.

to them now in a vastly. different way-through faith, throughsacraments or signs, like thebreaking of bread. This is expressed quite clearly in thewords He is reported to haveaddressed to Thomas: "Becauseyou have seen me, you have be'lieved; more blessed are theywho have not seen and yet havebelieved."
The' resurrection is of centralimportance in our living of theChristian life. As Paul tells us:"Christ died for our sins androse for our justification." Again,in 1 Cor 15 he reminds us quitebluntly: "If Christ has not beenraised, our preaching is void ofcontent and your faith is emptytoo. If Christ was not raised,your faith is worthless. You arestill in your sins, and those who,have died in Christ are the deadest of the dead." Everything our present Christian life, ourhope for eternity - everythinghinges on this one reality: Christwas victorious over sin and theFather raised Him for the dead,giving Him the ultimate victory.And what the Father did for Hisson is a pledge of what He willdo for us who are one with Hisson, the firstborn of many brothers and sisters. Indeed, the author of the letter to the Ephesians goes so far as to make thisstartling statement: "God is richin mercy; because of his greatlove for us he brought us lifewith Christ when we. were deadin sin. By this favor you weresaved. Both with and in Christhe raised us up and gave us aplace in the heavens" (Eph 2:4-6)

and had raised Him from thedead.
Beyond HistoryThe narrative of the empty
tomb eventually came to serveas a link between the accountsof Jesus' mortal life and that ofHis appearances. The former hadended with His burial in thetomb; the latter had begun withHis resurrection from that sametomb. It is rather interesting tonote that the actual resurrectionis not pinpointed to any precisemoment in time. The discoveryof the empty tomb is uniformlydated to the first day of theweek, but the resurrection itselfcould have occurred any timebetween the burial and the historically controllable events ofSunday morning. I say 'historically controllable' because theactual resurrection was and isnot. It was a real event whichtook place within the frameworkof time, but of its nature it transcended ordinary history. TheGospels make no attempt to describe the resurrection - forthe simple reason that it was indescribable. It was no simplereturn to life, as in the case ofLazarus, who came back to takeup where he had left off andeventually to die. The resurrection of Christ was a uniquetransformation, involvin~ thepassage from a mortal existenceto a realm of being and activitytranscending all created categories, such as time and space. Andso perhaps we should speak ofit All a transhistorical and metahistorical event, somethingwhich really did occur at a pointin time, but something unobservable, beyond human witness. indescribable in human language,beyond history in the acceptedsense of that term.
Accordingly, there is an element of mystery in the appearances of the risen Lord. He appears suddenly and just as suddenly vanishes. Locked doors areno ,obstacle to Him. He is atfirst not recognized even by Hismost intimate friends. MaryMagdalene thought He was thegardener until He spoke hername; the Apostles in the upperroom thought they were seeinga ghost; the two disciples on theroad to Emmaus hadn't theslightest idea who the strangerwas who walked and talked with
them until He broke bread at' ..-------------------------.supper in the inn. All of this ismeant to communicate an important truth, the fact that thiswas indeed the Jesus they hadknown, but that He was present

WELCOME BACK
Life
AND
Welcome back, your dreams .were your ticket outWelcome back, to that same old place
That you laughed about.Well the names have all changed
Since you hung around,But those dreams have remained
And they've turned around.Who'd have thought they'd lead you
Back here where we need you.Yeah, we tease him a lot
Because we've got him on the spot.Welcome back.
Welcome back, we always could spot a friend.Welcome back, and I smile when I think
How it must have been.And I know what a scene you were learning in,
Was there something that made you come back again?What could ever lead you,
Back here where we need you?We tease him a lot,
'Because we've got him on the ·spot.Welcome back.
Written and sung by John Sebastian(c) John Sebastian Music, BMI
What song was playing the night you first met him or her?Why does one particular piece of music always make youfeel sad? Who do you think of when you hear an old favorite?
The answers to those questions lets us know that musiccan often call to mind past experiences and people. Music canhelp us feel again what we felt then. That idea led many TVexecutives to capitalize on their TV theme songs by introduc-ing them into the pop music market. .
There are several things about "Welcome Back" thatmake it more interesting than some other TV theme songs.For instance, the TV series and the song explain each other,and what the song describes is basically true. The TV programis about a man named Kotter who grew up in the slums ofBrooklyn and longed to break away. His "dreams were theticket out," Once out, he found a good life in another worldbut thought of those kids in "that same old place that helaughed about," The freedom he had come to know led him"back to that same old place," to teach kids how to findthemselves and discover their own freedom.
The TV story-line is built upon the real life experience ofthe actor-comedian, Gabriel Kaplan, who plays Kotter. Kaplangrew up in that environment and broke away to find himselfas a comedian. He also found that his greatest comedy material came from his struggles as a slum kid and that whichled him to the idea for 'Welcome Back, Kotter,"
There are lots of things to be learned from this. For onething, our own experiences can sometimes give us our greatesttool for understanding the plight of others and make it easyto "spot a -friend." We also learn that our struggle to freedomis not just something that happens for our own good, butsomething that should "lead you, back here where we needyou." In other words, any freedom we have acquired shouldlrive us to share it by helping others find their freedom.
When we are willing to do this we are "welcome,"

Several of the letters in yourcolumn refer to the problem ofthe abuse of drink. I would preface my remarks (although mywife and I are non-drinkers) bysaying that we know as you dothat many of our fine Christianhomes, filled with love, haveparents who drink in moderation. My remarks, however, areresponding to the young writerswho wrote about those who' doabuse the privilege.
I would say to them, "Each ofyou seems to lack in some degree a love so necessary togrowth and feels you are an interrllption in the lives of yourparents rather than a reason fortheir lives being more meaning-
. ful. Abuse of drinking can gradually lead to alcoholism, whichis widely recognized as a' disease. We must pray for theseparents that they may clearlysee the tragic and costly course

14 THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs. June ,10, 1976
by Cecilia BelangerRecently several letters from
youths appeared in this column.They were the outpourings oflives that are lonely, alienated,misunderstood, hopeless and onthe brink of despair.
The response from parents hasbeen overwhelming. They, thewriters, without being asked,sald, "If you can use these letters you are free to do so." Asampling follows:
"Focus on youth" focused onmy heart this week and br~ke
it. I wanted to say that I hearthese young!
Having been blessed with adear wife, who as mother of ourfive children, has made ourhome a lQ.ving, warm place tobe, I feel an even greater needto respond. When our familywas younger we were alwayscomforted to see them soundasleep. As years have passedand they have grown into fineyoung men and women we arealways interested in where theyare, with whom, and alwayswelcome their friends, who wealso consider our friends.

Hits RegulationsOn Missioners
WASHINGTON (NC)-A U.S.Catholic Conference (USCC) official has criticized new ,CIAregulations which would retainthe agency's right to seek information from missionaries andother church personnel whohave returned to the UnitedStates from abroad.
The regulations are "not acceptable" said the USCC official, Father Bryan Hehir, associate secretary for internaaionaljustice and peace., "The function of mission organizations and the institutionalChurch should be precisely toinstruct people not to cooperate" with the CIA, he said.
Mission leaders have beencritical of the CIA for involvement with missionaries because,they say, such involvement creates a conflict with the religiouspurpose of the missionary and hisahility to identify with the people of the local culture he isserving.
A statement issued last November by the mission committee of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious andthe Conference of Major Superiors of Men, two organizationsof heads of religious orders, repudiated "U. S. governmentalinvolvement with overseas mis-sionaries for intelligence purposes, be that involvement overtor covert, be it in the hostcountry or in debriefing of fur:loughed missionaries in theUnited States."

they are on. Too many of theseparents drink as a result of catering to a social climate, thusoften neglecting and thereforecausing an erosion of thei'r family responsibility. Often, too,family pressures are too greatand drinking becomes a crutchthey fear to let go.

Could Have Been HersI am the mother of teenagers
and read "Focus on youth" everyweek. This week's page hit meright where it hurt. I was a teenager who could have written anyof those comments and more.
To those teenagers who feelisolated in their own prison ofloneliness, I'd like to say thatwhen adults tell them something,sometimes it has to be takenwith a bag of salt.
Those of you who are suffering now will become the adultsand patterns for another generation not yet born. You will havelearned a valuable lesson. Yourjob is to get beyond the badthings you see in adults and become better ones yourselves.You can make it because youwill know that you are in thecompany of many more just likeyou, all trying hard, all caughtup in their own private loneliness. There ARE people whocare. Keep reaching out, as they,too, are reaching out, and maybeyour hands will touch and you'llmake contact, and it will bebeautiful.
There's no magic formula tomake parents see you as people,to let go gracefully, or expresslove positively. You have to findin them what you can and trustin God and yourself for the rest.Trust your own goodness andnever let go of it.
I thank you for letting mespout off on something that Ifeel pretty deeply about.

Seven Stang students participated in the in-service day atNazareth Hall, helping pupilswith their lessons, and, as DianeGherette put it, "trying to become friends."
Sharon Kelleher described theexperience as a "chance to sharein their love." She also commented, "These kids have thesame needs and desires as anyone and don't want to be treateddifferently."
The dance for the Nazarethteenagers concluded the honorsociety series.
