5 Parents have the original primary and inalienable right to educate their children and pubshylic authorities must assure the structures and means to assure those rights

It declares marriage the natural institution to which the mission of transmitting middotlife is exdusively entrusted and says that any attempts in any way to limit the freedom of couples in deciding about their children constitute a grave offense

against human dignity and jusshytice

Rights of the family that it outlines range from a right to privacy to economic conditions which assure them a standard of living appropriate to their dignity and full development from freedom of choice in relishygion and in the education of their children tp the rights to

SJ loyalty reaffirmed

ROME (NC) At his first press conference as superior general of the Society of Jesus Father Peter-Hans Kolvenbach reaffirmshyed the Jesuits loyalty to the pope and agreed with Pope John Paul II that the order has deshyfects resulting in too much secular activity

The Society of Jesus has no meaning and loses its very reashyson to exist if it lacks distincshytive fidelity to the holy father and a special dedication to the Lords church in its actual aposshytolic embodiments said Father Kolvenbach at a press conference at Jesuit headquarters in Rome

In a prepared statement Father Kolvenbach said the pope was concerned about the Jesuits and said he agreed with the pope that the order has defects inshycluding certain secularizing practices and attitudes sacrificshying prayer for activity that is too simply humanitarian and adopting socio-political modes of behavior that are determined by criteria that are not always evangelical in nature

The 54-year-old Dutch linguist who until his election had been rector of Romes Pontifical Oriental Institute said the soshyciety would continue to work for peace and justice but noted that suCh work should always be undertaken in the name of the church in communion with its pastors and not according to individualistic criteria and persshypectives

the moorinstJ ~ea~e Advent H~reg I

There is no doubt that the movement for peace among the peoples of the world has special meaning at this particushylar time in mans hist9ric journey More and more dp we see men and women coming together in public gatherings to witness to their desire for peace in the family of ban

A great impetus to the peace movement in this c04ntry was supplied by the American bishops peace pastora~~ Its publication by such a prestigious church body amid the tension of armament buildup in this country Was a courageous and unprecedented action I

Yet despite the ominous clouds on the int~rnat~onal horizon we in the church should remember that we are preparing to celebrate the enduring reality pf the PHnce of Peace I

The liturgy of this holy time of Advent begins approshypriately with the verse of thepnarmed prophet Is~iah They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks I

In a recent address to the Pontifical Academy of I Sciences our Holy Father gave powerful witness tO the

Iwords of Isaiahmiddot saying Unarmed prophets have been the object of derision in every age especially on the patt of shrewd politicians the supports of power But todayfuust not our civilization recQgnize that humanity has neetl of them I

Developing his thoughts on this subject of peace the pope strove forcefully tolet his hearers know that Ireal peace is born not only from elimination of the hotbeds of war but from positive acts of justice The work for p~ace must be seen as a relentless struggle not the passing f~ncy of enthusiasts Sin injustice and oppression never c~ase their efforts to enslave and destroy Peace must be waged with equal persistence I

In this context the pope reflected that the OnlYWar that should be waged is that against hunger disease and the death of millions of human beings whose lives could be lived in dignity and happiness with the monies wbrld powers spend each year on the arms race I

It should be obvious to all that the Catholic Church is actively supporting those who feel threatened by ~we-some atomic warfare I

The church has become a moral leader in the search for peace more meaningful than ever in this Advent sea~on But words of peace must become deeds of peace and for many this transition is more than difficult So many in the so-called peace movement demonstrate their peaceful inshytentions through violent actions This gives their mqveshyment a sense of ridiculous contradiction and causes a loss of credibility To be perfectly frank many of th~ antidof so-called peace demonstratorsturn people off I

But it is imperative that the peace movement distapce itself from the extremist the radical and the ungovernable This can be done when the quest for lasting peace becorttes a moving force both among those who believe that it corhes from God and those who sincerely seek that God of peJce

IThis quest should indeed be in the forefront of the

mind of all Catholics as they share the churchs longing for the Awaited One

Peace indeed is the stuff of Advent May its speedy coming be our prayer

Come and let us return to the Lord Osee 61

Something special about us BY Father Kevin J Harrington

A century ago the great Amshyerican poet Walt Whitman wrote A single mouse is miracle enough to convert a trillion inshyfidels The odds that a mouse would evolve as it has are beshyylDnd calculation

Another overlooked miracle is the incredible diversity of livshying creatures The genes that constitute the inheritance of each species unite and dissociate to produce ever-fleeting evermiddot different combinations This endmiddot less combinatorial system guarshyantees the diversity that gives species their versatility and posshysibBities

Discoveries in physics bear out the theory that there has been an incalculable number of universes with differing rates of expansion and differing physical constants

Many scientists believe that only such a theory postulating an almost infinite number of universes evolving during an alshymost infinite period of time can acount for the emergence of self-aware creatures such as ourshyselves

The conclusions that can be re~lched by the unaided power

of reason do indeed boggle the mirtd Even Albert Einstein who shook the world of physics with his discoveries was not comshyforted by them But dismissing the statistical view of rea~ity

with the exasperated comment GDd does not play dice he inshy

tuitively sensed a world of times and those to come as a order going beyond mere chance period of grace during which we

Grace certainly builds on na- should live according to the visshy-ture and God rarely int~rvenes

in history to change mans desshytiny yet faith teaches that man can load the dice in his own favor through freedom 01 choice

Our sun a~ we know it has a stable lifetime of eight to 10 billion years therefore condishytions favorable to life as we know it will not be eternal There is therefore something

- special about our human species that invited the Lord of all creshyated things to become one of us

Jesus came to us both as a free gift from the Father and as the result of the free consent of a member of the human race through the Blessed Mothers life-affirming yes to the mysterishyous will of God Our species is mysteriously called into a relashytionship with the eternal through this marvelous intervention of

bull God into our history

Exercising human reason scishyentists have taught us uncountshyed lessons aIJout the universe If we destroy ourselves it will

I not be because of failure of reason but failure of imagination

Christ came to share with us a vision of Gods kingdom Our imagination displays before lis the ever changing picture of the possible yet we cannot fully imshyagine how dismal is life without God nor how blissful it is in total union with him

We should -look upon our own

ion of -love revealed to us in Christ Our life should be the more precious to us when we consider our possibly uniqutl position in Gods creation Acshycording to quantum cosmology there is an infinitesimal chance that the peculiar combination necessary for that correct mixshyture of energy and matter will ever duplicate itself to generate another creature capable of selfshyawareness

Our tools of technology have given us hitherto undreamed freedom to affirm or destroy life With this our power to make Earth a better place to Hve or a hell we need to ask anew Why did God become man Surely to save us from our sins

ENTERTAINMENT Variations of the Tag Games

Sibling fighting Sibling fighting - ever

since Cain and Abel its plagued parents Where have we gone wrong wonshyder anguished parents who subshyscribe to the myth that the famshyily should be a haven of peace and serenity

Lets face it Kids fight And although this may surprise some they fight as much in healthy families as in not-so-healthy families The main difference lies in how parents handle it

First they expect it as a norshymal even positive family activity They know that whereshyever two or three children are gathered together there wi be some fighting Secondly they realize that its in fighting with siblings that children learn to get along with other children with future roommates and spouses and with eventual bosses

The child who refuses to play fairly soon finds himself withshyout friends so he has to modify his behavior Thats how we learn Thats why only children have more difficulty coping with their own childrens fighting and why they often have a tougher time in marriage than the ones with Seven siblings

Learning to fight fairly is an important part of growing up but its up to the parents to set olimits and rules on fighting Here are the most common ones Ive found in the healthy famishylies I studied

1 Physical fighting and obshyscenitieli are forbidden at all times These include hitting bitshying kicking and hair pulling Parents let their children know

that these will not be tolerated and that children who hit will face severe discipline from parents

And the parents follow through In this way children are forced to develop other ways of dealing with conflict

2 The kids fight belong to them not to the parents Ive seen cases where a mother three rooms away takes on the quarrel of two children because she views herself as family peaceshykeeper This tells the children that their mother is responsible for any arguments they start In healthy families the parents insist that those who fight must also learn to reconcile not tum it over to them when it escalates beyond their expectations or conshytrol

3 Parents know that children fight for a variety of reasons not because they hate each other Wanting parental attention is a very common reason Boredom is another He looked at me is a classic reason Often when the parent allows herself to get swept up into a meaningless fight between two children they join forces against her and it becomes a parent-child conflict Many parents live in a constantshyly stressful climate because of this

4 Healthy families do not alshylow sibling fighting to ruin their time together When children begin to fight they ban them to their room backyard or elseshywhere until theyre through Its their fight and the rest of the flUlJily isnt made to suffer from the hollering name caHing and tears

5 Constantly-fighting siblings

can be fun Shadow Tag must be played at night Try to step on someones shadow if you are playing near a porch light Or try to catch someone with a beam of light if you are using a flashlight

SHARING 1 Share one sign or indication

that you are growing in some way physically inshytellectually etlt

2 Share a positive thought about how another family member has grown reshycently

are made responsibIe for family peace If they continue to fight for non-reasons privileges like

TY or playtime are withdrawn One mom keeps a list of fjghtshying chores on the refrigerator Whenever children start fighting as a means of activity she says You sweep out the garage and You clean the bathroom

Probably the biggest differshyence between these parents and those who lament continual fighting is that parents in healthy families stick firmly to their rules By their behavior they let their children know that they can fight but that this fightshying is not going to intrude upon an otherwise pleasant family atmosphere Once the children learn this and know the parents mean it they are on their way to developing conf1ict resolution techniques that will be of value to them the rest of their lives

The big money in comshymunications is in public reshylations not journalism A good relations person can create an attractive image for a corporation president or polishytician or any aspiring person who can afford it A public reshylations person tells his or her client what to say and what not to say A warm smooth soothing image is what the good pr pershyson seeks to create for a client Controversy is bad for sales and candor doesnt play in Peoria Corporation presidents and polishyticians hate to be identified with a hard line For deciding what should not be uttered by a client a top pr person earns a fabushylous salary

Imagine a meeting between GUy Royal founder and presishydent of the pr firm of Guy Royal amp Associates and a promshyinent figure he hoped to represhysent for a fee one John the Baptist

Good of you to drop by my shop to hear what I have to say John Guy might begin in his rich deep voice Call me Guy John A first-name basis spells trust

John the Baptist ~ooked puzshyzled He said nothing Guy Royal could see that this man was all business so Guy launchshyed immediately into his pitch He explained how he had built winning images for numerous household names

If I may John 1 would like to suggest for your own good of course that you adopt a someshywhat less strident style of pubshylic speaking Guy Royal proshyposed As 1 understand it you have a habit of teUing your audiences to turn away from their sins because the kingdom of heaven is near Heh heh Our feeling here at Guy Royal amp Associates John is that your approach is just a tad uh unshycompromising Rather a bit too straightforward for public conshysumption

Guy Royal leaned forward as though sharing a confJdence John the gang here in market research - and our market reshysearchers are the best in the game John and they have the track record to prove it - they feel strongly that a ~ow-key

understated approach relying on sweet reason and avoiding fire and brimstone is always best Nobody likes a scold John Heh heh

John the Baptist looked skepshytical People might not know what I meant he said Theymiddot might not get the message

Precisely Guy Royal reshyplied smiling Keep them a little jn the dark Be coy Use phrases dike by and ~argemiddot all things considered on the

whole on the other hand broadly viewed tentatively speaking aU the votes arent in yet and so forth Never comshymit yourself Always ~eave room to back off a position gracefully Meaningless phrases will make you seem tolerant and trustshyworthy In Sl year or two your old image as a crank will be forgotten believe me

Isnt it important to be clear Doesnt that show respect for listeners John the Baptist askmiddot ed frowning

This was going to be tougher than Guy Royal had thought He opted for a frank stance

No offense intended John but your whole approach is much too preachy Guy exshyplained For example referring to the religious establishment as snakes is a tum-off Then you tell them to show evidence that they have reformed their Hves You keep mentioning uh sins

Guy Royal wor1dly fellow rolled his eyes John pardon me for saying so but you really ought to stop talking about sin Its bad taste to mention sin People dont like to be preached to John Youll only antagonize the very people you hope to reach

John the Baptist said nothing Guy Royal cleared his throat and continued Now when you refer to this fellow who you say will come after you you say he will bum the chaff in a fire that never goes out Heh heh John the hell concept is outshydated Modern people are too sophisticated to buy a superstishytion like eternal damnation

Our market researchers say that folks are buying good feelshyings Im okay youre okay You do your thing Ill do mine They dont want to be burdened by a heavy message So use phrases like its only my opinion and I dont have aU the answers Be humble John

As John the Baptist walked out in disgust Guy Royal warnshyed him And stay out of Herods affairs or hell have your head

Charter Continued from page one

participate fUlly in political and social activity and to receive a free flow of information

The charter insists that gOYshyernments uphold the institutionshyal value of marriage and repushydiates any law placing the situation of non-married couples on the same level as marshyriage duly contracted

The charter originated as an idea presented to the 1980 world Synod of Bishops by UkrainianshyRite Archbishop Maxim Hermanshyiuk of Winnipeg Manitoba who proposed the concept and a genshyeral outline of its contents in a speech to the synod

The idea drew enthusiastic support from the more than 200 bishops assembled for the synod who asked Pope John Paul II to finish development of the docushyment in consultation with experts and bishops conferences around the world

Despite the modest disclaimer that the charter is simply listing existing established rights it presents sharp challenges to exshyisting laws or policies of probshyably every country in the world

To Western democracies it challenges abortion artificial birth control and in some counshytries such as the United States a policy of placing what the charter calls unjust burdens on the exercise of the right of educational choice

To countries in the Soviet bloc it challenges state control of education and policies of disshycrimination againstmiddot professed believers

Third World governments are challenged to provide stronger structural systems of basic sershyvices and adequate distribution of wealth to assure family stashybility

The full document consists of an introduction a 13-pointmiddot preshyamble middotIaying out the context and theoretical basis for the charter the charter itself and a list of sources and references

The fiist three articles of the charter deal with the rights of marriage articles 4 and 5 with children 6 to 8 with human rights of the family and 9 to 11 with socioeconomic rights Artishycle 12 deals with the special problems of immigrant migrant worker and refugee families

Pilgrimage Dear Editor

A small group of parishioners from Holy Rosary Church Taunmiddot ton was fortunate to be able to accompany Father Matthew Swizdor the Franciscan healing priest from Chicopee and his group on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land

I wish I could adequately deshyscribe this intense spiritual exshyperience To walk where Jesus walked and taught and to visit the places where He suffered died and was buried were events beyond my poor powers of demiddot scription

My prayer Is that many readers will make this trip In the future and refresh themshyselves physically mentally spiritually and emotionally

Finding God We flew to find you in the

Upper Room The site of your Transmiddot

substantiation I could not find you here in

the lonely absences Because I knew 0 God the

crosses sent to me Were sent to widen my

dimensions In the flights long hours I

prayed and trusted You ~re forgiveness in the

Clouds with my contrition And down below relentless

in the sea I wa filled with fear yet

found a new grace For You pressed my face with

your loving hands And eased my aChing lungs

and limbs I felt uplifted in your glory

and saw you everywhere (Walking in the hot sands of

Jerusalem when we arrived) And knew the grandeur of

you at the holy places That Upper Room - unmiddot

familiar - so high remote and vast

(Da Vinci had brushed it to seem so close)

Still I felt the compass of my heart point a steady straight and true

I looked for you there with hungry heart clean of hand and mind

I found you there at last my love waiting all the time

I would not want it Lord my God any other way

Better Sunday liturgies

By OK Johnson

POCATELLO Idaho (NC)shyUnderstanding the ~inisterial

function of the parts of the Mass is the key to improving Sunday liturgies said Holy Gh~st Father Lucien Deiss

The liturgist Scripture scholar and musician recently conductshyed a liturgy workshop with edushycator-dancer Gloria Weyman in Pocatello

He told participants that unshyderstanding the Mass parts is paying the price needed to worship the Lord in eucharistic rites shy

Think about what the minisshyterial function of each person each rite each singing is the 62-year-old French priest said What is the ministerial funcshytion of the priest the deacon Why do we sing What is the ministerial function of the enshytrance rite the Sanctus the Credo

Liturgies can be significantly improved when each person realizes that only the best effort is worthy of the Lord he said When our singing is at least not equal to the quality of the silence it is better to remain silent

Father Deiss said parishes should use the best people they

have for each ministry but that does not mean setting up an exshyclusive tight-knit group thatmiddot monopolizes minsterial functions

Pay the price for the Lord and you will put a lot of happishyness in your life he said Our liturgy is not perfect but do the best yOl~ can on your own level

The highest ministerial funcshytion he said is to meet Jesus Christ That is the ministerial function of the eucharistic rite You can miss that point entire ly

Directing workshop particishypants in singing Father Deiss told them that the role of a choir is to help the congregashytion and that singing must be done from the heart

Referring to the practice of reading songs during Mass Father Deiss said A song middotis not a song unless it is sung The Gloria is a hymn Sing it or forshyget it

Preparation to incorporate dignity and beauty into the liturshygy is also necessary he said We must prepare with the greatest care our ministry He urged rehearsing even of anmiddot nouncements ~o that you say things in a nice way

Priests need to preside with dignity and beauty he noted urging priests not to destroy the dignity of the Gospel reading by holding a missalette in the hand -like a chicken That is a pity

The Gospel acclamation is not an aoclamation unless it is acclaimed Father Deiss said commenting thatmiddot some congreshygations are dour and show more spirit and vitality at football games The Lord did not say

The Souvenir booklet for the 29th annual Bishops Ball is beshying filled with the nllmes of benefactors of this social and charitable event The ball win be held Friday evening Jan 13 at Lincoln Park Ballroom North Dartmouth

The booklet has seven cateshygories and persons and organshyizations listed in any of them

PoorIDonkcanonhed ROME (NC) - A Capuchin

who spent most of his priestly life hearing confessions was canonized Oct 16 at a time whe~

the world Synod of Bishops was meeting to discuss reconciliation and penance

The canonization of Father Leopold Mandic who died in 1922 and was beatified in 1976 was -deliberately timed to coincide with the synod -Pope John Paul II said

Because Father Mandic had a speech defect and could not preach he- devoted his ministry to the sacrament of penance He spent nearly every waking hour hearing confessions in a tiny room adjacent to his monasterys church in the northern ltaHan city of Padua

Despite suffering from eye and stomach ailments and crippling arthritis the priest arrived at the room nearly every day to minister to penitents who arshyrived from aH over the country

Born in 1866 in what is now part of Yugoslavia Father Manshydic was the last of 12 children He entered a Capuchin semin~

ary in Italy at the age of 16 and was ordained when he was 22

He had hoped to promote

Christian unity by preaching in his homeland where there was a strong Orthodox Church But his superiors decided that beshycause of his health and speech problems he should stay in Italy

After spending several years hearing confessions in several Italian cities Father Mandic moved in 1909 to the Capuchin monastery in Padua where he established his confessional room He leftmiddot Padua only once to make a pilgrimage to Lourdes France

Father Mandic suffered a fatal cerebral attack while premiddot paring for Mass on July 30 1942 His confessional cell in Padua is stiU the object of daily pilgrimages

Directly after the canonization in speaking of the new saint to 100000 Holy Year pilgrims in St Peters Square the pope said St Leopold didnt leave behind thlological or literary

FATHER MANDICworks He didnt fascinate us with his culture He didnt found hearing confessions the pope social institutions For those added who knew him he was nothing Attending his canonization but a poor monk small and were 6000 pilgrims from the sickly Yugoslavian region of Croatia

Truth comes in many forms There is truth in a wordless tear a flowing river an airplane risshying up to greet the sky There is truth in numbers that add up in recounting to someone where you have been and in telling a story

When Jesus was asked some very hard questions he often told stories- Who is my neighshybor the young mall asked Jesus responded Once upon a time a certain man went down to Jericho and fell victim to robbers Once upon a time the world became so selfish and greedy that people thought only of themmiddot selves People ate and drank and would not share This was very hard on old people and little children on poor people and widows on sick people and those with a handicap But there was one good man whose name was Nicholas and he decided he would feed the hungry visit the -lonely care for the sick and old and bring joy to smat chHdren

Geographic morality

can pose problems ST LOUIS (NC) - The

churchs ethical teachings can and should be applied to specishyfic situations in Catholic health care facilities Archbishop Danshyiel E Pilarczyk of Cincinnati said at a St Louis workshop on health care ethics

The workshop was sponsored by the Catholic Health Associashytion of the United States and the Pope John XXIII Medical-Moral Research and Education center

The archbishop said that geographic morality - when for example the bishop of a dioshycese permits medical procedures disapproved by a neighboring bishop - is not necessarily a reshyjection of church teaching

The bishops task is to make a prudential judgment about how the ethical directives for health care facilities fit into the comshyplexities of the individual situashytions which arise in Catholic health care facilities in his jurisshydidion the archbishop said

The ethical directives apshyproved by the US bishops in 1971 and reVjsed slightly Sn 1975 reflect the ordinary teachshying of the church the archbishop said

It seems to ine that two prushydent persons could conceivably come up with different responses to the same set of problems if they are sufficiently complex he said

When a physician asked Archshybishop Pilarczyk the difference between prudential judgment and situation ethics he replied that standard Catholic moral teaching always involves tenshysion between principle and cirshycumstances Situation genershyally rejects the notion that some principles are unchangeable he said

A hospital administrator askshyed the archbishop how he would answer the criticism that a Cathshyolic hospital when it is the only hospital in an area imposes its morality on others

Catholic health care is not inshytended to provide all kinds of

health care for everyone but is meant as a witness to the church in the context of sickness and wellness said the archbishop

We have to be careful about other peoples consciences but we also have to be careful about our own he said

Proportionalism as a method of moral decision was criticized by Dominican Father Benedict M Ashley in a talk on ethical methodologies

Proportionalists determine the morality of an action not only by its nature but also by its purposesmiddot and circumstances Father Ashley said

A better way to overcome legalism without succumbing to moral relativism as proportionshyalism tends to do is to recogshynize that certain kinds of actions are always wrong because they are contradictory to fundamental goods or rights of human pershysons Thus abortion is always wrong because it deprives an inshynocent human being of its fundashymental right to life he said

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Relishygious around the world have been invited to send representashytives to the Vatican for a Feb 2 Jubilee Day for religious a celebration aimed at emphasizshying tjle personal obligation of religious to obey pope John Paul II as their superior

The celebration one of middota sershyies marking the Holy Year will be highlighted by a Mass in St Peters Basilica celebrated by Pope john Paul at which men and women Religious will renew their vows according to the Vatimiddot cans ~entral Committee for the Holy Year

Preparatory materials include an Aug 30 Ietter to Religious ann~uncing the celebration and the Nov 13 edition of VOssermiddot vatore Romano which published a 16-page study of religious life prepared by the holy year commiddot mittee

The Aug 30 letter says ~hat the Feb 2 Mass includes renewal of vows into_the hands of the holy father

The 16-page study stresses the new C~e of Canon Law esshy

peciaHy Canon 590 which states that in~~yidual members of aremiddot

Hgious ~ommunity are bound to obey the supreme pontiff as their hig~est superior by reason alio of their sacred bond of obedience

Jubilee day for religious to stress obedience not side by side with it

The religious state is not seen vis a vis the church conshyfronting it and dialoguing it as a stranger or as an equal deshyclares the study

It adds that to talk about diashylogue with the church is ab~ surd whether such di~logue is by an institution or by an individual

The study emphasizes the obshyligation of religious to follow the new Code of Canon Law which was promulgated Nov 27 and says that currently religious life is in crisis 1

Confessors wilI no longer beable to say to you that you I are too good but they will ha~e to control with a little bit more seriousness what it is you are doing before the expressed will of the church the study says It adds that if confessors db riot know what canon law dertiands of religious then religiou~ bullare obliged to teH them I

The stress on obedience also runs throughout other recent documents such as the April 3 guidelines sent to the US bishshyops by the Vatican Congtegashytion for Religious and Se~ular Institutes when the Vaticatimiddot anmiddot nounced the formation 6f a commission headed by Archshybishop John Quinn of San Fran cisco to examine religious life in the United States

The religious is pledged to obey the directives of lawful sushy

periors according to the constishy have its constitutions approved See insists on the primacy of tutions of the institute said if it dpes not include that obedishy one person That concept is the congregation and further ence means obedience to the difficult to accept for people ilccepts a particular obedience to the holy father in virtue of Ithe vow of obedience

Vatican sources say it is rio accident that the Holy See is litressing obedience

Theres a strong stress on obedience now and I think it is justified said one official of the Vatican Curia the churchs central administration The pope is aware of whats happenshying in some areas for example in the United States where a ll)~ of people have tuned out the pope and the Holy See The pope iiI emphasizing the unity which should exist in the church

The official added that the concept of dialogue promoted by many religious is not accepted by the Holy See and referred to objections of some religious in the United States that they were not consil1ted before the pope commissioned the study of US rtligious life

If something is going to come out I1rom Rome the Holy See does not have middotto sit down and dialogue about it before the pigtpe sendls a oetter Thats crazy the official said

Several religious who work with the Vatican point out that obedience to the pope is not a nEW teaching Whats new is the stress on it

No religious coinmunity will

The source noted that obedishy The source also said that a ence to the pope has always poor sense of ecclesiology in the been implied if not stated in United States will complicateconstitutions and that 99 pershy the problems cent of religious accept the fact

Melissa Gilbert discusses Choices of the Heart

By Michael Gallagher

NEW YORK (NC) - Choices of the Heart is an NBC teleshyvision movie about Jean Donoshyvan who with Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel and Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clarke died three years ago aJlegedly at the hands of Salvashydoran National Guardsmen It was a vicious crime for which the suspect-soldiers have yet to be brought to trial Choices of the Heart will be broadcast on the night of Dec 5 within three days of the Dec 2 anniversary of the murders

Were it not however for Melissa Gilbert who endeared herself to television audiences as Laura in Little House on the Prairie this profoundly moving account of an extraordinary young woman who left behind a comfortable Jife and a successshyful career to serve the poor of El Salvador might never have reached your home screen

All three networks I was told turned down the script because it was too controversial and when it seemed as though it would never be produced Miss

Gilbert came into the picture She loved the part of Jean

Donovan and on the strength of the reputation and popularity she had gained from Little House Choices of the Heart went into production in Mexico last year

Recently she told me how much the role of Jean meant to her

I wall thrilled she said that somebo(1y like John Houseman would think enough of my abilshyity to offer me a role like that Houseman the distinguished proshyducer and actor (Prof Kingsfield in The Paper Chase) is the

producer of Choices and was also the prime mover on Roses in December the splendid docushymentary on Jean Donovan

What did Miss Gilbert like about the role

Well she said I always remembered something my mother told me when I was very young If you have some kind of talent some kind of ability she said Jts something that youve been given for a purpose Youve got to use it in the right way for something thats imporshytant You must never abuse it

And so I kept reading all these scripts and they were all

so shallow - full of fluff or exploitation or both And so even though I hadnt done my acting for a long time and I was almost going crazy with nothing to do I wouldnt take any of the parts offered me Then John Houseman brought me Choices of the Heart and right away I knew it was for me

Why Well Jean is a person that

any actress should love to play Theres something about her that appeals to young people Hke me We have plenty of material possessions - our nice clothes our houses our cars - but the most important thing is to be able to do something for someshybody else To receive by giving Thats what Jean ~id Shes an inspiration to me She was a hero and young people today dont have any real heroes

Miss Gilbert said that Choices of the Heart had recently been screened before what would have to be its toughest audience Raymond and Pat Donovan Jeans father and mother

What did they think of it They loved it she said

Christmas gift to television

1111II11llmIll1l1lIlllltIlUlllllllt11l111l111111l11111111lUII1lIIIlmlllltlIIlUlUUluuumllUII1IIII

And what was so wonderful was that Mrs Donovan gave me Jeans old cross You remember that prayer I say at the end about God carrying you in diffishycult times Well I have it framed in my room now with Jeans cross

All Americans Catholic or not owe a tremendous debt to Jean Donovan and to Sisters Dorothy Kazel Ita Ford and Maura Clarke And now I think we also owe very much to Melissa Gilbert

It might be a long way from the Little House to El Salvador hut shes made the journey

Thanks to her talent and dedication the story of these four gallant women is now goshying to livemiddot for millions of Amshyericans who either never knew about them or to whom they were nothing more than soonshyforgotten names on a newscast

IWhats on your

mind Q How can I get along with

friends who act like they are too good for me

A For some surprising words about friendship lets tum to the Book of Proverbs in the Bible There an unknown wise man says A true friend is more loyal than a brother (1824)

Perhaps this is one of the reasons we value genuine friendshyships Such loyalty presupposes othermiddotqualities - sincerity tactshyfulness generosity truthfulness respect and commitment

And surely such loyalty would rule out thinking that one is too good for her or his friends

The disturbing question you must face is this Do I really want to be the friend of people who act like they are too good for me

Other troubling questions arise

Can such people be genuinely friendly

can persons who tend to be snobs also be sincere tactful respectful and committed

How loyal can these friends be especially in times of diffishyculty

But even as thesemiddot questions disturb you you may still want to be friends with these people you may still want very mucIt to belong to this crowd So it would seem that this time and

this situation make it approprishyate for you to devoteI some thought to what frieJldship should be I

You might find it helpful to I search for eight or 10 ways of completing this sentence

A good friend is someone who I

One young person completed the sentence this way Pi good friend is someone who sti~ks by you when three guys are gangshying up on you You might also consider this

question Imiddot Would I rather spend the

evening with seven or Ieight clever funny good-looking peoshyple who act like they a~e too good for me or with one or two

Ipersons not quite so clever who are sincere loyal and cotnmitshy

Ited I

Another question that must be faced is this I

Would it be better to endure some loneliness as I search for a genuine friend than to $pend my time with people who Iseem to be ultimately phony asfthey have fun putting me down

Finally it might be well for you to consider which friends are worth having and which are not

The media By Cecilia BelaJllger

Since I can remember disenshychantqlent with the media has never been so high On radio talk programs for instance peoshyple are up in armsmiddot against the way world and national events have been handled

Abuse of freedom of the press can be as fatal to a country as deprivation of that freedom

Some media instead of enshylightening inflame minds omitshyting much that should be said picking and choosing only what they wish to present

Farewell to liberty when the press has all the power Ive often wondered if some reporters reshyport theirmiddot findings for a good end or for mere sensationalism Where the welfare of a nation is involved are we to listen only to the press whose bottom line is seHing papers and who seem to believe that the more conshyfusion and controversy the betshyter even when not justified

Those are not gods who rule over the networks the presses

FAKE FRIENDS

Wmen you were down Thlay were never there

When youre all alone You really get to learn If you et back up llteyre going to come around All tII1e sycophants they love to make romance To the ugly sound of them Tellingyou what you want to hear ami you pretend Cause they aD agree

Youre SUJ1JOlM to have a better life But youre feeling worse And they build you up til you fool yourself That youre something else And its like a curse Cause you cant live up tomiddot what they made of you Anell they tell you that youre losin friends Losin friends losin friends You got nothing to lose

You dont nose whfn yon I~ fake friends You go and te~ them you were king of thehIil When you need a hand that was yesterday You see them laugh while youre on your knees And it breaks your heart cause you gave so much And you elmt believe that you hIt the ground And you notice youve been Iosin friends

Sung by Joan Jett and the BI8ckhearts written by J Jett and K Laguna (c) 1983 by Jett Pack Music

[lIOES ~NDSHIP defy defi- qualities of a goOd fri~nd could nition Certainly a list of the go on and on _

the institutions of this or any other country They can be inshyspected with an impartial watchshyful and undazzled eye Their virtues and services should be noted and the opposite should be condemned

I think we should pray for reshyporters with incorruptible integshyrity We know that there are trustworthy Ieporters and corshyrespondents but of late there are many to whom I would not care to speak without a witness

Young men are fighting and dying for civil and religious Hbshyerties It behooves us to respect each others rights not to allow self-seekers to put cracks in our foundation and most of aU not to despair of our country this America the Beautiful for which so many have given their lives their youth and their future

In your experience what does it mean to be a friend

Fake Friends takes up the question of friendship Joan Jett is one of the more famous rock stars Formerly with the aUshyfemale band the Runaways she now tours extensively with the Blackhearts

Her song is about thinking someone was a friend when acshytuaUy he or she was interested only in what could be got from the relationship

Mrs Jett says fake friends may try to build us up in flatshytering or unrealistic ways They may make us feel good for a while but as she says Its like a curse cause you cant Hve up to what they made of you Treatment like that pressures us to be something we are not

What makes a real friend A place to begin looking for the answer is with people who acshycept us for what we are Real friends neither ignore nor condemn us for our mista~es

They give support and chaHenge us to recognize howw~ can grow and improve

A friend is someone we seek out to celebrate joyful events Friends help us to discover more about ourselves and about God

For God uses the human touch to help communicate his love his challenge and his sJpport to us

New Film Venti (MGM-UA) Barbra

Streisand is Yentl an intelligent and witty Jewish woman of turn of the century Eastern Europe a time when only men studied in religious schools Tutored secretshyly by her father (Nehemiah Pershysoff) himself a Talmudic scholar she determines after his death to dress as a man and enter a yeshiva or religious school There she excels but finds hershyself attracted to a handsome student already engaged to be married When the engagement is called off by the father Yentl is persuaded to become the bridegroom instead All is reshysolved more or less happily when Yentl brings handsome student and his beloved together by emishygrating to America and less reshystrictive educationa1 prerequisshyites

Based on a story by Isaac Bashevis Singer the film spends much of its time laboriously showing how a male-dominated society oppresses women At center stage throughout is Miss Streisand who also produced directed and co-authored the script Although her many fans may not find this too much others will be unconvinced by her performance unmoved by her songs and wearied by seeing her in every scene

Evocation of period and setshyting is excellent as is the reshyspectful treatment of religious belief The complications resultshying from Yentls disguise as a male and entering into a mock marriage to another woman make the film inappropriate for young viewers Because of this and some suggested nudity it is

TV Program Its unlikely that 100 milIon

Americans wiU watch the teleshyvision movie Choices of Heart at 9 pm on Dec 5 but this acshycount of the spiritual awakening of well-off Jean Donovan of Westport Conn and her death in El Salvador deserves such an audience as much as The Day After

Choices begins with friends at the airport in San Salvador Jean Donovan (Melissa GHbert) a lay missioner and Sister Doroshythy Kazel (Pamela Bellwood) an

Ursuline nun arrive to pick up Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford (Mari Gorman) and Maura Clarke (Mary McCusker) who have just returned from a conference in Nicaragua

A short distance from the airshyport when Jean stops her mishycrobus at a roadblock armed men in civilian clothes step out of the shadows

From there the story gives us flashbacks of Jeans life

We see her in Irelarttl during a junior year abroad and then coming under the influence of a tough Irish priest (Martin Sheen) who says to her much the same things that Ignatius Loyola must have said to Franmiddot cis Xavier

Jean reluctantly begins to look more deeply into herself and her faith The results are not imshymediately apparent She takes a good job in Cleveland emshybarks on a period of conspicuous consumption and starts falling in love with a young doctor (Peter Norton)

Finally however in a decision that startles many she goes to EI Salvador for two years of missionary work There she overcomes fear and uncertainty inspired by her three closest companions and the charismatic figure of the soon-to-be-martyrshyed Archbishoup Oscar Romero

Though Choices II with quite admirable restraint doesnt deshypict the final ordeal of Jean and her companions it makes abunshydantly clear what happened to them

Melissa Gilbert despite her youth is as near-ly perfect a Jean as one could hope for She catches Jeans sense of fun and radiates conviction

The supporting cast is unishyformly good with MaTi Gorman and Mary McCusker standing out for the quiet conviction and warmth they bring to the roles of Ita and Maura

There are shortcomings most of them due to the nature of the low budget of television films but the defects of Choices are insignificant comshypared to the tremendous emomiddot tional impact that it generates

Choices is a story of love faith and greatness of heart Though it is too mature for very young children it should be a must for Catholic teen-agers some of whom might discover here for the first time that faith can be quite exciting

Mass precedes steel plant vote WEIRTON W Va (NC) shy

After an evening of prayer and rallying steelworkers in Weirshyton voted middotby a 7-1 margin to buy Weirton Steel from its parent company

The vote last month to accept the Employee Stock Ownership Plan made Weirton Steel the largest employee-owned comshypany in the world

The employees voted to pay National Intergroup $386 million for the mill by 1998 and to asshysume $1923 million in debts Workers also had to accept a 32 percentmiddot pay and benefit reshyduction and fewer days off

Last year National Intergroup had announced plans to sell or shutdown the Weirton plant which employs over 11000 peoshyple The possible shutdown threatened not only Weirton Steel but the Weirton communshyity itself On the eve of the vote Cathshy

olics attended a special Mass at St Joseph the Worker Church in Weirton An ecumenical candlelight ceremony followed at the steel plant

Edwin Mullaney deacon at St Paul parish in Weirton and a 28-year Weirton Steel employee was the homilist

I guess you could say that it has been raining here in our valley for the past 18 months shyever since National Steel anshynounced they would not put any more capital investments into Weirton Steel said Mullaney

We have come a 10pg way in the past 18 months but our ordeal is not yet over he said We need only recognize Gods help and have the faith and courage to accept the help he gives to us

Pope lauds cardinals

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II recalled the contrishybutions of the middotIate Cardinals Humberto Medeiros of Boston and Terence Cooke of New York during a recent Mass in the Sisshytine Chapel commemorating cardinals and bishops who have died recently

In his homily the pope outshyHned the life of Cardinal Medshyeiros who was born in the Portushyguese islands of the Azores and immigrated to Fall River as a teenager

Named bishop of Brownsville Texas in 1966 Cardinal Medshyeiros defended the rights of immigrant workers and farm labshyorers the pope said

After he was named archshybishop of Boston in 1970 the cardinal distinguished himself for his constant work for evanmiddot gelization and for ecumenical dialogue the pope added

Cardinal Medeiros died Sept 17 of cardiac arrest after undershygoing heart surgery He is burshyied with his parents in St Patshyrick~s Cemetery Fall River

Cardinal Cooke who died ~ Oct 6 after a battle with leushy

kemia went to his death with great faith and great serenity the pope said

He recalled that the New York cardinal had spoken out for the gift of life during his final weeks Struck down in the full vigor of his pastoral activity by an incurable illness he united himself with the cross of Christ with the full consciousness of a Christian a priest and a bishop the pope said

SJ loyalty reaffirmed

ROME (NC) At his first press conference as superior general of the Society of Jesus Father Peter-Hans Kolvenbach reaffirmshyed the Jesuits loyalty to the pope and agreed with Pope John Paul II that the order has deshyfects resulting in too much secular activity

The Society of Jesus has no meaning and loses its very reashyson to exist if it lacks distincshytive fidelity to the holy father and a special dedication to the Lords church in its actual aposshytolic embodiments said Father Kolvenbach at a press conference at Jesuit headquarters in Rome

In a prepared statement Father Kolvenbach said the pope was concerned about the Jesuits and said he agreed with the pope that the order has defects inshycluding certain secularizing practices and attitudes sacrificshying prayer for activity that is too simply humanitarian and adopting socio-political modes of behavior that are determined by criteria that are not always evangelical in nature

The 54-year-old Dutch linguist who until his election had been rector of Romes Pontifical Oriental Institute said the soshyciety would continue to work for peace and justice but noted that suCh work should always be undertaken in the name of the church in communion with its pastors and not according to individualistic criteria and persshypectives

Ciskei is one of four black tribal homelands in South Afr-ica which the government declared independent as part of its policy of apartheid or strict racial segregation Father Mkhatshwa the first black general secretary of tl)e SACBC is a leading symshybol of church opposition to aparshytheid
