Golden· aging By Jeff Eodrst

VIENNA, Austria (NC) The first World Assembly on Aging concluded its two­week session in Vienna. Aug. 6 by calling for policies to en­hance the lives of the elderly and to allow them to enjoy "in mind and in body, fully and freely,' their advancing years in peace, health and security."

Delegates from 120 coun­tries and representatives of 143 non-governmental organ­izations agreed that quality of life "is no less important than longevity," and that the elder­ly should therefore be able to enjoy in their own families and communities "a life' of fulfillment, health, security and contentment, appreciated as an integral part of society."

The Vatican delegation made an informal proposal for a study on "making the fam­ily the subject of a United Nations conference in the near future."

The idea was broached by Bishop Francisco Jose Cox Huneeus, secretary of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family and head of the Vatican delegation.

He told the assembly that religion has particular signifi­

"It is necessary to remind old people to contribute their spiritual riches to ,other peo­ple, in particular, the young," he added.

He said that respect for the elderly is a "manifestation of respect for life at a particu­lar stage."

"Man has no right to dis­pose of any stage of life, from conception to death," said Bishop Cox.

He said that the elderly have an important role in im­plementing the policies called for by the assembly.

"They have the time and wisdom to give to society. The church expresses its gratitude to-those institutions that have contributed to the cause of the elderly," he told the as­sembly.

Richard 'Schweiker, U.S. Secretary of Health and Hu­man Service, told the assembly that issues of aging have enormous impact on social, economic and political charac­teristics of nations.

He said the ch21llenge is in finding personal fulfiillment for the elderly through new activities and roles· not pre­viously widely available.

murders WASHINGTON (NC) - Sen.

Charles Percy (R-I1!.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has called for further investigation into the murder of four American churchwomen in EI Salvador in December 1980.

The State Department mean­while continued its testimony at congressional hearings on aid to El Salvador, saying that there has been no cover-up in the in­quiries into the killings of the

. four women. , But brothers of two of the women have claimed that the State Department knew of allega­tions of involvement by high­ranking Salvadoran security officers in the deaths of lay worker Jean Donovan, Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura' Clarke and Ursuline Sister Doro­thy Razel in EI Salvador. .

Michael R. Donovan, Jean Donovan's brother, testified be­fore the Foreign Relations Com­mittee Aug. 3 that the State De­partment suspected involvement of high-ranking officers in the women's deaths. Five low-rank­ing soldiers have been implicated in the murders.

Donovan and William Ford, Sister Ford's brother, said that at a State Department meeting a Salvadoran attorney hired by the U.S. embassy in EI Salvador to investigate the churchwom­en's deaths had stated that sen­ior military officers and officials of the Salvadoran government may have ordered the killings.

But such accusations were denied by Thomas Enders, assis­tant secretary of state for inter­American affairs.

When asked by Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.) if the State De­partment was covering up any­thing, Enders replied, "No, sir, we are not."

But Percy said the testimony by Donovan and Ford "person­ally shocks me" and pledged "I

.will do everything I personally can" to get answers to the ques­tions raised.

"I can walk in the shoes that you are walking in now," Percy said to Ford and Donovan, ap­parently referring to his anguish over the unsolved murder of his daughter Valerie at the family's home in 1966.

world's tiniest city state now has its. first traffic light.

Vatican officials installed a traffic light at the arch separa­ting the Belvedere Courtyard from the Vatican Gardens and the papal apartments.

The installation of the first traffic signal in the 104-acre city state coincided with the· intro­duction of new uniforms for the 100 Vatican security' guards.

The guards, who formerly wore all-blue uniforms, are now dressed in white shirts, blue pants and ties, aQd a newly styled hat bearing -the papal coat-of-arms.

diocese WASHINGTON, D.C. - The

contribution of $33,000 from the people of the diocese of Fall River to, Catholic University of America was recently acknowl­edged by CU iProvost John Jo­seph Murphy.

In a rletter to Bishop Cronin, Dr. Murphy said, "The need be­comes clearer every day for teaching and research which are vaaue-centered and whIch occur in a context tilat explica'tes the fullness of human personhood. We cannot conceive of genuine education in ,the absence of a constant appreciation of the presence of God dn aU bis works."

Shrinking financial resources, both from private and public sectors, and new tax 'legislation makling donations to private in­stitutions less attractive "make us keenly aware of !how impor­tant Is the support we reoeive from the annual diocesan coHec­tion," Dr. Murphy stated.

"May I express to you, your people and your priests the deep and sincere gratitude of the en­tire university community. Your true beneficiaries are the many students who WlHI be enabled by your 'generosity to take advan­tage of a university education founded in faith."

On the road in Poland

WARSAW, Poland (NC) Groups of pilgrims from more than 20 Polish cities and towns are walking to the nation's most revered Marian shrine.

Polish church authorities said that some 100,000 people took to the road for the traditional national pilgrimage to Czesto­chowa, home of the icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, Poland's patroness.

Some 300,000 pilgrims are ex­pected in 'Czestochowa on or be­fore Sunday, the feast of the As­sumption, for ceremonies opening jubilee year celebrations of the 600th anniversary of the arrival of the icon in Poland. , Church officials said the num·

ber of walkers was the highest in recent history, despite high summer temperatures and diffi. culties in organizing the pilgrim· age under Poland's martial law regime.

The pilgrimage has been held for 271 years, except for years of war and occupation.

Pope John Paul II had been invited to attend the Aug. 26 celebrations 'in his native Poland, but the visit was. postponed be­cause of disagreements with government authorities who said they would welcome the pontiff next year.

Daniel A. Cronin was among hundr.eds of prelates at the 100th anniversary .convention of the Knights of Columbus, held Aug. 3 to 6 in Hartford.

The bishop was a concelebrant at the meeting's opening Mass and was present for a major ad­dress by President Reagan and for a dinner at which Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, Pope John Paul II's representative at the' event, accepted on the pontiff's behalf the first payment of $1.25 million from a fund set liP by the K of C for personal papal charities.

On the diocesan scene, Bishop Cronin will be honored by Fall River K of C Council 86 wltha state Legion of Merit Award in Aug. 21 ceremonies at the coun­cil home on Columbus Drive in Fall River.

At last week's Hartford meet­ing over 7,000 Knights and fam­ily members from the U.S., Cana­da, the Philippines and Mexico were in attenda'nce.

Reagan's speech to the Knights Mew rousing applause when he backed tuition tax credits, school prayer and pro-life legislation.

Resolutions later passed by the Knights endorsed the idea that education is primarily the right and responsibility of par­ents; backed the Hatch amend­ment, which states that nothing in the Constitution guarantees the right to an abortion; and backed an amendment to allow prayer in public schools.

Other resolutions reaffirmed commitment to raising prime­time TV standards, urged stricter enforcement of anti-obscenity laws, supported establishment of a scholarship fund for the North American College in Rome, and

caHed for the beatification of the Knights' founder, Father Michael McGivney.

Cardinal CasaroIi told the Knights that the pope holds their organization in high regard. He said the pope "is grateful to you for the aid of every sort which you give not only to your local churches and to the whole Cath­olic Church, to your homeland, to those who are in need, and to youth, but also directly to the Apostolic See."

Also on Aug. 3, Cardinal Casa­roli lunched with President Rea­gan in Hartford. A White House spokesman said the primary topics discussed were Poland and the Mideast, especially the con­flict in Lebanon.

The foHowing day the cardinal discussed the same topics with U.S. Secretary of State Shultz at the State Department in Wash­ington. No details of the meeting were released, except for a statement by State Department spokesman that "we found the exchange of views very valu­able."

At an Aug. 4 Mass, Cardinal Jaime Sin of Manila, Philippines,

the homilist, noted three under­currents affecting Christianity today: the mystical movement, including the charismatic move­ment; the political movement, seen as the struggle for justice, social development and liberation of the poor and oppressed; and the ecumenical movement.

The Knights journeyed from Hartford to New Haven, Conn., Aug. 6 for a Mass in St. Mary's Church, where the organization was founded, and for dedication of statues of Father Michael J. McGivney, the founder, a mother and baby and a child at the Order's ,supreme headquarters.

Hurtado freed GUATEMALA CITY (NC) - Dr. Juan Jose Hurtado, a pediatri­cian whose arrest prompted five .private U.S. organizations to in­vestigate his case, was released July' 29 after no charges were placed against him.

Government officials had said he was arrested as a suspected communist.

In July the American Associa­tion for the Advancement of Sci­ence, the American Public Health Association, the National Asso~

ciation of Social Workers, the Public Health Association of New York City and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences sent a fact­finding team to Guatemala as a show of concern for Hurtado, who ran a free clinic for Indians at San Juan Zacatepequez near Guatemala City.

The Beleaguered Parish A recent Wall Street Journal article concerned Cath­

olics who shop around for the "best" parish. Titled "The Parish-Shopper," the article describes such

people as Catholics who have abandoned their home con­gregations for ones they like better. Though there are no accurate statistics, the writer estimated that close to 10 percent of practicing Catholics join parishes in which they do not live..

The article goes on to state that many parish-shoppers have a want list. At its top is good preaching. Other desired attributes iriclude diverse activities, a sense of belonging, putting on a good show, and offering liturgies tailored for different occasions.

The writer details how one pastor uses slides, inter­pretive dance and creative liturgies, including such attrac­ti6ns as, a Muppet Mass.

As any pastor knows, there is much truth in the light­hearted approach of this article. More and more, people do shop around, sometimes just to find a Mass that fits their schedule, sometimes because they want an air-conditioned church. Most often parish-shoppers view a church as they would a convenience store. What suits their own needs and comfort becomes priority. •

There are also many in the church,uninterested in liturgical nuances. They shop for the "quickie" Mass. Get in and get it over with. ' , However, the fault is not that of the laity alone. Much

of the blame for this liturgical shopping mentality must be placed in the clerical corner.

In the battle to fill the pews many who have the stewardship of parishes have fallen into the gimmicks trap. They range from the keepers of all that is "holy" in the old church to those who have all but turned the sanctuary into a .circus ring.

The Founding Fathers left plenty of room to grow in the Constitution. F u t u r e generations, they obviously thought, should be free to adapt

. and modify the infil'!ite uses of democratic government. .

But given their feelings about royalty in general and George III in particular, it seems allowable, or even indicated, to imagine them turning over in their graves over the recent Supreme Court decision about presidential im­munity.

One of the great and continu­ing challenges of our system is to exalt our presidents so that they can behave better than the rest of us while at the same time making them· understand that they really are merely first among equal~.

The trouble is that presidents get the idea that it is: all theirs.

'Justice Lewis F. Powell Jr. gave a curious, unreassuring ex­planation of the court's majority verdict: The press is constantly scrutinizing presidents. Well, yes, the press will, if it gets the chance. But this administration has been trying to curtail the Freedom of Information Act, which in many instances is, if not the only, surely the best hope of finding out what the executive is up to.

Justice Powell wrote also that "vigilant oversight" by Congress is a deterrent to abuses 'of office. It is Congress' duty to "make credible the threat of impeach­ment." But impeachment is a nuclear remedy, undertaken with the utmost reluctance by Con­gress and the country.

It took months of agony for the House Judiciary Committee to gear itself up for action against a president who acted in distressing, preemptive accord with the words of the decision, regarding immunity as "a func-' tionally mandated incident of the president's unique office, rooted in the constitutional tradition of the separation of powers .. "

What makes the decision even more puzzling is that the case involved Nixon. It was brought by an exemplary public servant - and citizen - A. Ernest Fitz­gerald, who has been engaged in a 12-year fight against executive arrogance.

Fitzgerald, a Pentagon cost analyst, was fired in 1970 for doing his job. He reported the $2 billion overruns in the con­struction of the C-5A airplane. In his $3.5 million suit, based on evidence found in the Watergate tapes, Fitzgerald charged that Nixon had conspired to get his .job and to render him a perman· ent unemployment statistic.

But, said the majority; a presi­dent has absolute immunity against lawsuits.

"A reversion to the old notion that the king can do no wrong," wrote Justice Byron D. White in a vehement dissent.

"I find it ironic, as well as tragic," he wrote in the minority opinion, "that the court would so casually discard its own role of assuring 'the right of every individual to claim the protection of the laws' . . . in the name of protecting the principle of sepa­ration of powers." .

What some find equally ironic is that in another controversial case of immunity, Justice White came out on the opposite side.

He wrote the majority decision in Stump vs. Sparkman,.which held absolute immunity for the judiciary. A judge named Harold D. Stump had ordered, on the mother's say-so, the sterilization of a I5-year·old girl without the latter's knowledge or consent. Judge Potter Stewart, dissenting, found in Stump's conduct "a total absence of any of the nor· mal attributes of a judici~l pro­ceeding."

While acknowledging that pain had been inflicted on an individ­ual citizen, Justice White ruled on the superseding importance of the principle of judicial im· munity.

We have no way of knowing' what moved Justice White to argue in the Nixon case that no man should be above the law. Possibly he makes a distinction between judicial and executive immunity. Justices are not re­quired to explain wha~ appear to be inconsistencies in their de­cisions. They are shielded from inquiry. But you can't help won­dering. The founders were much in favor of wondering citizens. They seemed to feel they would preserve the republic.

Priests of the diocese are pre- ' paring for the anticipated prom­ulgation, of a revised Code of Canon Law, updating the 'pre­vious 'code, issued in 1917.

The·new code, which will pro· vide the basic legal framework

. for church governance and order, will incorporate pastoral, insights and theological concepts developed during Vatican Coun­cil II. Council sessions were held yearly from 1962 through 1965 and the revised code has been in preparation since 1963.

Although no definite date has

been set for issuing the code, the Canon Law Society of Am­erica has conducted workshops

, throughout the nation to fami­liarize priests associated with 'diocesan chanc~ery offices, mar­riage tribunals and seminary faculties with its provisions.

Nine priests of the Fall ,River diocese have attended such work­shops. Msgr. 'John J. Oliveira, vice-chancellor and episcopal secretary, and Father Horace J. Travassos, assistant chancellor, participated in sessions at Christ the King Retreat House, Syr~·

cuse, N.Y. ' Attending a program· at Pope

. John XXIII National Seminary in Weston were Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, chancellor; Msgr. Henry T. Munrge, tribunal offi­cialis and pastor of St. Pius X parish, South Yarmouth; Father Jay T. Maddock, tribunal secre· , tary; Father Roland Bousqu~t.

tribunal judge and pastor of St. Stephen's parish, Attleboro:

Father Joseph Oliveira, tribun­al judge and pastor of St. Mi­chael's parish, Fall River; Father Edmund J. Fitzgerald, tribunal

judge, chaplain at St. Anne's Hos­pital, Fall River, and director of diocesan pastoral ministry to the sick; Father Thomas L. Rita, trio bunal judge and director of St. Vincent's Home, Fall River, and St. Mary's Home, New Bedford.

Msgr. Harrington said the workshops included "presenta­tions by canonists, review of re­vised canons and lively discuss­ion of practical implications of

. the revi!!ed code hi the pastoral, care and the sacramental life of the people of God."

Latin 'violence concerns church Continued from page one

Their dissatisfaction reflects the feelings of other groups which fear that Marxist members of the Sandinistas are gaining control.

Church sources said that the government did not' allow the local press to publish the pope's letter as of -Aug. 9 for fear it

, would revive the- controversy of priests in government posts.

The Reagan administration ac­cuses Nicaragua of aiding the Salvadoran guerrillas and of be­ing the political ann of Cuba and the Soviet Union in Central America. Relations have deteri­orated rapidly since Reagan came to, office. '

Guatemala: Last, month the 27 statement asked the govern­U.S. bishoP!? supported the Gua­ ment to investigate massacres temalan bishops' condemnation of Indians and peasants and to of political violence in Guate­ punish the people responsible. mala and pledged to lobby for­U.S.. government aid programs aimed at healing the wounds rather than inceasing the vio­lence.

The support was contined in a letter to the Guatemalan Bishops' Conference sent by Archbishop John R. Roach of St. Paul- Min­neapolis,' president of the Na­tional Conference of Catholic BishopS, and referred to the persecution' of church people in Guatemala. '

It came two months after the Guatemalan -bishops in a May

Guatemala also is experienc­ing a guerrilla war and many church people have been killed in the conflict.

A March' coup brought Gen­Efrain Rios Montt to power, re­placing another general. Rios Montt pledged to respect human rights and correct previous abuses.

But it was continued killings that sparked' the Guatemalan bishops' letter of May 27.

"We beg and insist i~. the name of God that the human life and physical integrity of the campesinos (peasants) be reo spected . .' .. We call upon the authorities . . .' to investigate these doleful facts, not allowing th~ perpetrators to remain in their state of absolute impunity," they said. ­, The U~S. bishops' letter came at a time when the Reagan ad­

,/

minstration is considering re­suming military aid to Guate­mala. Military aid was ended' under Presient Jimmy Carter over human rights.

Honduras: Honduras has caught the spillover of the problems from neighboring Nicaragua and El Salvador.

Many Salvadorans have fled to Honduran refugee camps. But refugee aid workers say Salva­doran troops have been raiding the camps, killing and kidnapping refugees with the cooperation of Honduran troops.

Honduran and Salvadoran military officials deny that they nave a policy of raiding refugee camps', but say that guerrillas

'often cross the border and use the camps as bases of operation.

At the same time, Nicaragua has accused Honduras of allow­ing anti·Sandinistas -to use Hon­duras as a base for forays into Nicaragua. The sit~tion .has raised the threat of border bat­tles between the countries..

UNSETTLED CONDITIONS in Central America are reflected by Sandinista supporters in Mana~a, Nicaragua (top), and Catholic Peace Fellowship members Father Bill Briscotti arid Kathy Boylan, both of New York, who recent­ly conducted a hunger strike at the U.S. Embassy in San Salvador in 'protest of U.S. aid to EI Salvador.

Golden aging Continued from page one

. ~ to be answered in the United States: How will aging affect job opportunities and con-' sumer marketing systems, education, politics, govern­ment and the response of health care institutions to de­mands for services? How can the extra decades of American life be enhanced? How can the skills and experience of older citizens be tapped so that these people will be a more productive force in society?

The assembly noted that only in the past few decades has world attention been drawn, to the social, economic, political and scientific ques­tions raised by large-scale aging, as the 20th century has' witnessed greater control of infant mortality, decline in birth rates and improvements in nutrition, basic health care and the control of many in­fectious diseases.

D,elegates 'were told that in 1950 there were about 200 million people 60 and older in the world. 'By 1973 that' fig­ure had increased to 310 mil­lion. U.N. projections for the

year 2000 say this will jump to 590 million and there should be about 1.1 billion people over 60 by 2025.

The assembly session was affected by. extraneous poli­tical matters relating' to cur­rent international conflicts.

The Soviet Union restated . its recent pledge not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. It also argued that disarmament could result in savings which could improve the well-being of the aged.

Poland thought the debate was dealing with technical matters while Third World elderly, had not been taken into consideration.

Three amendments pro­posed by the Vatican delega­tion were approved by the as. sembly.

They described human soli­dari'ty as the "fundamental and indivisible element of authentic development;" con­demed discrimination based on race, sex or religion as an "obstacle to -the solution 'of the problems of the elderly;" and called for inclusion' of "religious and spiritual fac­tors" in social policies relating to the elderly.

ida, Maryland, New York and New England as well as visitors from England and Ireland met last weekend at Bishop Connolly High School, Fall River, for their annual provincial meeting, chair­ed by Sister Carol Regan, pro­vincial superior.

On Saturday the sisters heard Sister Sandra Marcoux and the provincial formation team; Sis­ter .virginia O'Hare, prpvince ,treasurer; and Sister Margaret Donnelly, coordinator of person­nel, who 'spoke on ministry.

On Sunday, Sister Kathleen Gallivan, SND, associate director of Ecumenical Counseling Ser­vices in Melrose, discussed "Community Life in the 1980s: Developing Skills to Enable Con­

tinued Growth;" and Sister Vir­ginia Sampson, SUSC, staff member of the LaSalette Center in Attleboro, spoke on "A Spirit­uality of Compassion."

Both speakers addressed the psychological ' and theological bases of community life as it has evolved in the Catholic Church in general and religious com· munities in particular since Vati­can II.

Members of the Holy Union community's Groton province joined the sisters of the Fall River province for Sunday's pre­sentations. '

As a followup to Sunday's sessions, individual communities met on Monday to share expecta­tions and set goals for the com­ing year.

The assembly concluded with

Peace flight in progress The fonowing article is by Miss

PauIyne J. Dick, Falmouth, who Is among participants In the peace pilgrimage she describes.

On May 13, 1982 Pope John Paul II at Fatima, Portugal, in union with all the world's bish­ops, consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In making that consecrati<m, the Holy Father prayed especially "for those nations most in need of this consecration and for those nations most desiring this con­secration."

In making the consecration as he did, the Holy Father left no doubt that he included Chiria. He has indicated that he relies primarily on prayer to heal the terrible split between the so­cal1ed Patriotic Church of China and the thousands of clandestine' Catholics in that nation who re­main loyal to the Holy See and are subjected to harassment and persecution.

It is almost providential that the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima had already arranged to take the Pilgrim Virgin statue to China just three months after this consecration by the Holy Father.

To reduce costs, the Blue Army purchased its own plane,

"Queen of the World," for this historic peace flight around the World with the Pilgrim Virgin statue. '

In addition to China, there will be visits to Fatima, Santi· ago, Spain, Lourdes, Rome, (with an audience with the' Pope), Athens, the Holy Land, Karchi, Pakistan, Kathmandu, Nepal, Hong Kong, Taipai, Honolulu and Mexico City.

Some 180 pilgrims are aboard this spetial plane, which left New York Monday and will re­turn Sept. 5.

Cape Cod is represented on the flight by the Misses Arlyne and Paulyne Dick, year-round Falmouth residents; Mrs. Thom­as Sullivan, a summer Falmouth resident; and Mrs. Helen Cox of East Sandwich:

The results of this pilgrimage cannot be envisioned.·1t is being made in faith, with prayers and hopes for peace. - Everyone's prayers are requested for this in­tention and it is also asked that well-wishers burn a blue light during the pilgrimage period.'

Such a light, which has been used on other occasions as a symbol of unity in prayer, need be only a blue bulb inserted in a regular light socket.

a liturgy at which provincial council members were missioned by the province to their leader­ship roles; and the leaders miss­

\ioned each sister to her ministry for the coming year.

The··fourth commandment By Dr. James and Mary Kenny

Dear Dr. Kenny: A stable fam­ily is the backbone of society. Do' you think that when cll1ildren violate the Fourth Command­ment, we C81ll expect stable fami­lies?

Our oldest daughter married five years ago, not only against our wishes, but -with an almost certain prospect of a break-up. Now after many frustrating. misery-filled months, the divorce papers are signed.

What now? There she is 26 years old, two sn1aIl kids, a place to live hard to find and the cost prohibitive. After many years of caring, giving and all the other things, she is mainly on our back again.

Where does that leave us? Ever thought about that? You say, "Allow your chlldren room to grow and make mistakes." WOO pays for the sorry mess they creat~?

IJIl the first place, little chlld-. ren, iJmocentvictims of this gen­eration's shortsightedDess. We, the parents, in the second place, you and other t8Jg)&yers in the third place, because she is now depending on social ~.

God gave Ten Commandments, three for his own glory, and right after ¢hese he put the .Fourth to preserve the honor

- and authority of parentS. To show how important he consider­ed this conunandinent, to this one,. and only one, there was attached a promise of well-being for those who keep this command faithfully.

Dr. Kenny, help and support parents in this often difficult and frustrating task of raising child- . ren in a· morally decadent society. Sometimes you betray us and destroy .the parents' authority at home.

I feel relieved that I have this off my chest, and I thank you for having taken time to read this. - British Columbia

I am sorry your daughter's marriage ended in divorce. I agree with you that the small children are innocent victims of this tragedy.

Your letter raises two issues: 1) that we undermine parental authority by encouraging adult children to make their own de­cisions, and 2) that problems such as your daughter's would not occur if ·children obeyed their parents.

We hold that adult children must be permitted to make their own. decisions because decision making is part of being an adult. We believe that parents help their children learn to make de­cisions by providing more oppor­tunities for decision making as the child grows.

Granting adult children the right to make decisions is a practical matter as well as a principle. Society grants adult status by age 18 in most matters and by age 21 in all matters. Parents must recognize this fact.

We also suggest that the best model for the. relationship be­tween parents and adult child­ren is a friendship model. As

your letter so poignantly points out, the friendship between par­rents and adult child. is very special. When an adult child makes a poor decision, most par­ents want to help, to support, to pick up the pieces. The responsi­bility for living out a poor de­cision remains with the adult child, but parents will continue to experience and share the grief.

The fact· that children some­times make poor decisions, how­ever, does not mean they should follow parental decisions rather than their own.

Scripture indicates that people have been making poor decisions since the start of the human race. God knew the risk, yet gave hu-' mans the gift of choice. Despite the risk of poor decisions and the pain they cause child and parent, parents must take the same risk and allow, even insist, that their adult children behave like adults.

Barry to handle parole reports MIAMI (NC) - Barry Univer­

sity in Miami has agreed to han­dle the procedures for paroled Haitian detainees to report on a regular basis as. required by a federal court order.

According to Dominican Sis­ter Jeanne O'Laughlin, there has been "much confusion and a total lack of coordination." She said procedures are now in place for orderly supervision of the Haitians. .

U.S. District Court Judge Eu­gene Spellman ordered June 29 'that the· Haitian. detainees, who had entered the United States illegally, be released from camps around the country while wait­ing for hearings to determine

their status in the United States. As of Aug. 9, 143 Haitians had been released.

The judge also ordered. the Haitians to report ·their where­abouts each week through their voluntary agency sponsors.

Sister O'Loughlin, president of the Dominican-run university said, "If people fail to report they could be sought by authori­ties within 48 hours and returned to Krome Avenue Detention Cen­ter" in Miami.

Sister O'Laughlin sai4 she had visited the detention camp and "I don't want to claim Krome as part. of the country that I love. It was a prison like a concentra­tion camp."

Q.~tlsthemu«h's~­

leal position on bread to be used for the celebration of the. Eu­marlst In the Latin Rite? Are you aware of any suitable and acceptable recipe for homemade altar bread other than the tradi­tional hosts?

Also, If you would, what are the sources· for this Infonnation? I believe that not only I but many other Catholics will be helped by knowing where we are on this. (MIssouri)

A. I cannot respond to your question honestly or intelligibly without first explaining that we have two seemingly contradic­tory sets of regulations for 'eu­charistic bread.

Our church has insisted in­creasingly during recent decades on the vital importance of signs in the celebration of the liturgy, especially the other sacraments and the eucharist. These signs - oil, water, bread, wine, ges­tures words-are of the essence of th~ sacraments and should re­flect as fully and genuinely as possible the reality they purport to be. Dirty water or gummy oil, while perhaps valid for the sac­ramtmts, is grossly inappropriate.

Thus, speaking of the Euchar­ist, the church has insisted that the bread for the eucharistic celebration "appear as actual food" (General Instruction on the Roman Missal, No. 2~3). In other words it should look and taste like bread people really use.

On the other hand, the tradi­tion of the Latin Rite, at least for many centuries, and the pres­ent regulations of the church in­dicate that no other ingredients are to be· added to the wheat flour and water in the making of the bread.

To my knowledge, and I've had much correspondence about this in recent years, I know of none who has been able to make bread that way and have it come out looking any more like recognizable bread than our customary hosts.

One is reminded of the little boy who was asked if he be­lieved if the bread had become the body of Christ. He replied, "I believe it is the body of Christ, but I don't believe it was bread."

Early in 1978 the American bishops' Committee on the Litur­gy presented a canonical position paper to the appropriate congre­gation in Rome searching for some leeway by which unleaven­ed bread could be prepared with a few additives that would make it appear more like real bread.

The following year Cardinal Francis Seper, the late prefect of the Congregation for the 'Doc. trine of the Faith, responded that "it would not be appropriate to accept the suggestion" of the paper for some additions to the material for eucharistic bread.

On May 23, 1980, an instruc­tion by another Vatican office (the Congregation for Sacra­ments and Divine Worship) re­peated basically the same in­

structions. Thus, these regula­tions presently govern the Latin Rite Church in the preparation of Eucharistic bread:

As you imply in your question, quite different ,regulations apply to the Eastern Rite Churches.

A final note: The communica­tions from the Vatican congrega­tions, particularly the -letter from Cardinal Seper, speak only of "lawfulness and desirability" of different bread materials.

Bread with additions to the wheat and water, therefore, would be valid but not lawful for eucharistic bread.

Q. Recently my friend visited a parish in another diocese. Since he is left-handed, he prefers to receive the host in his right hand and consume it with his left. The priest nudged him and insisted on giving Communion in the other hancl. This was humiliating' for him. Does it really make any difference?

A. The church has no regula­tion determining which hand to use when receiving Communion..

Q. What opportunities exist In the church for a divorced Cath­olic man or woman who would like to dedicate his or her life to God?

Do any orders accept such people? If so, is an annulment required? With the growing divorce rate there must be peo­ple wllllng and able to ilve such ' a life and help others either as lay people or through the co­operative efforts of a religious order. (Dlinols)

A. What you suggest lis not at all impossible. Many conditions would have to be met, of course, for such a person to work in connection with, or be a member of, a religious community.

Each reHgious congregation or order, however, has :its own reg­ulations and procedures in such matters. Anyone ,interested !n such work should contact the de­sired religious community, and ask about the possibilities.

Let me know what you learn.

Cutting'deaths MEXICO CITY (NC)

Traffic experts from 50 develop­ing countries blamed thoughtless drivers for most of the 300,000 traffic deaths and 10 million in­juries worldwide every year. Many said the development of moral character in drivers is needed to prevent traffic acci­dents. The only way to cut back on traffic casualties, said Mario Calles Lopez Mexico's secre· <tary of health and welfare, "is to stress the sense of human solid­arity and responsibility. We must answer with greater moral char­acter through education and a. cutural awareness of what it· means to drive a vehicle," he said.

Father DeGrandis has ministered on radio and television and in college and hospital chap­laincies.

They believe that God loves each of these children and has given them to the world as a gift. They believe that God is glorified by the existence of the children.

To a world tempted to turn to abortion and euthanasia as solu­tions to imperfections and weak­ness, these women and men as­sert faith in the special worth of handicapped children.

Parables Continued from page twelve

various types of Christians who hear the Good News:

- Some accept it joyfully at first, but don't allow it to sink deep roots in their lives. When the going gets difficult they give up.

- Others allow preoccupa­tion~ to choke off the word be­fore it can bear fruit.

- Others listen, take the gos­pel message to heart and nurture it.

Mark's interpretation of this parable reflects the actual situa­tion in the early church. What was a simpie story communica­ting one point has become an allegory.

Throughout Chapter 4 Mark's emphasis is on listening and hearing, concluded by a short collection of wisdom sayings making the same point: "Listen carefully to what you hear."

These sayings take their mean­ing from their context: "Is Ii lamp acquired to be put under a bushel basket or hidden under a bed?" For Mark, the lamp is the message of Jesus; it is meant to shine forth and illumine.

Such a saying points to the responsibility of the Christian community to teach.

and pain. But he did not respond at once. '

"The teacher surely knows that a rabbi like himself would have nothing to do with foreign­ers like this woman," Eliazar was thinking as Jesus spoke up.

"Let the children of the family satisfy themselves at the table first," Jesus said to the woman. "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs."

"An interesting answer," chuckled Eliazar. "Jesus knows the law very well."

But the woman was not, put off. "Please, Lord," she begged, "even the dogs under the table eat the children's leftovers."

Jesus smiled. "That woman has spunk," Eliazar thought. "She also has a share of humor."

The answer Jesus gave really surprised Eliazar. "For such an answer," Jesus praised the woman, "you may go home now. The demon 'has already left your daughter."

"How can this be?" Eliazar puzzled. "Jesus reached out to a gentile woman. She does not even know God's law, much less keep it. What called forth God's healing power for her daughter?"

the flute or the piano. The Cath­olic Workers who live among the poor and work for justice recognize this as their work.

Care of children is work. There is the physical side but beyond that, parents also spend time with their children.

But what of those who find l'ittle or no fulfillment in their daily jobs?

Some people who are frustra­ted in their careers find satis­f~ction in applying their skills and experience elsewhere, in churches and in civic communi­ties.

Others link the difficulties of their labors with the mystery of the cross. Pope John Paul re­minded people that "Christ is now at work in people's hearts through the power of his Spirit:'

Perhaps that thought can help us give ourselves, generously, to the work of our hands, our minds, our spirits.

Ecumenical first PHILADELPHIA (NC) - The

Rev. James Alan Sox made his­tory when he received a degree marking completion of studies for the Episcopal priesthood from a Catholic, seminary.

Mr. Sox, who was ordained to the Episcopal diaconate in June, is a lawyer who did all of his theological studies at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, the major seminary of the Philadelphia Archdiocese.

Father Arthur Ed Rodgers of the seminary faculty was an offi­cial presenter of Mr. Sox at his diaconal ordination.

Among 44 others receiving the degree of master of arts in reli­gious studies at St. Charles Bor­romeo was Episcopal priest Father George Christian McCor­mick.

Hispanic bishops' address flock WASHINGTON (NC) - The

14 U.S. bishops of Hispanic an­cestry have issued a joint pas­toral letter challenging Hispanic Americans to be "artisans of a new people" by developing their native cultural and religious values.

The pastoral letter, the first issued jointly by the country's Hispanic bishops, honored Our Lady,of Guadalupe, patron saint of the Americas. It was titled "The Bishops Speak with the Virgin:'

The bishops cited faith, a cul­ture permeated by the Gospel; extended family life and love for country and community as prom­inent assets of Hispanic Ameri­cans. But they also saw chal­lenges and threats in racial 4is­crimination, poverty, street vio­lence and the gratifications of consumerism. '

Hispanic Catholics in the United States have been esti­mated to number 12 million, or nearly one quarter of the total Catholic population of 50.5 mil-, lion, with large numbers in Cali­fornia, Texas, New York and Florida. Most are Mexican­Americans, Puerto Ricans or im­migrants from Mexico or Cuba.

The 1980 U.S. census counted 14.6 million Hispanics in the country.

Of the 1,400 Hispanic-sur­named priests working among Hispanics in the United States, only 185 were born and ordained in this country. The rest came from Latin American or other Spanish-speaking countries. There are 450 permanent dea­cons helping in pastoral work, as well as an undetermined number of women and men Religious. The current figure of 961 His­panic seminarians in the United States represents a 10 percent increase over last year, but is only eight percent of the total U.S. seminary population.

The bishops found the heart of the religious strength of Hispan­ics in the strongbonds of the family.

"For us," they wrote, "the meaning of family is extended and includes parents, children, grandparents, aunts and uncles, 'distant' relatives, neighbors, godparents, and 'compadres,' or intimate friends. The, family is the first school of love, tender­ness, acceptance, discipline and respect." ,

NEW YORK (NC) - Carol Ligotino seemed almost back to normal.

Her serve was straight and her backhand fierce in a tennis match that seemed little more than a simple exercise for the gutsy 17-year-old junior at Msgr. Scanlan High School, who nearly lost her life in a vicious knife attack last December.

"You're lucky to get three points from me," she' told me after our match at an area rac­quet club.

A promising tennis player who wants to turn pro, Miss Ligotino is fast regaining her old form, surprising her doctQfs, One leg was horribly slashed in the at­tack near her home in the Bronx, one of New York City's five bor­oughs, a few days before Christ­mas.She believed the.n' that her tennis days were ~ver.

"Then he stabbed me in the chest. I was lucky; it just missed my lung. The knife went into the nerves that go into the arm, Then I fell, and he was coming at my' face or neck so I picked up my leg by reflex. He had a very big knife."

A Bronx cab driver took Miss Ligotino to Pelham Bay Hospital where doctors stopped the bleed­ing before transferring her to J

Montefiore Hospital. Dr. Frank Veith, chief vascular surgeon, said later, "The leg was in serio ous danger of being loSt."

Now much more optimistic about the outcome, Veith too has become one of Miss Ligotino's tennis opponents. .

The atack occurred a week be­fore Miss Ligotino was scheduled to play in her first professional circuit tennis tournament in Florida. "At first, I was afraid I would never play tennis again," she said. "But I'm determined to become a pro tennis player. I -had great people around me.",
