themoorin~ Civil Rights Again Defeated

Last month the Senate by a vote of 59-38 tabled the tuition tax credit amendment Once again the el~cted officials of pur area emphatically denied their support to the tuition tax credit effort f

It is more than unfortunate that the two senators I

from this state have taken a position of hardened and detershymined opposition to their constituents who have chos~n to exercise their co~stitut~o~al prerogatives i

In a reply to our dIocesan department of educatlon which had urged his support of tuition tax credits IMr Tsongas our junior senator emphatically declared that he would oppose all such legislation should it reach the s~nate floor The senior senator Mr Kennedy did not repl~ to our education department but his previous votes onjJhis subject have made it clear that he refuses to support tui~ion

tax credits -in any form I Again this paper clearly and unequivocally deplores

the voting- record of our senators not only on this mJtter but also on other iSSUes such as abortion that copcern the Catholic community Once more they have treated the Catholics of Massachusetts shabbily They have attempted

to portray paro~hial schools as enemies of public educat~on Adding insult to injury they have implied that Catholic schools are racist and elitistmiddot middotmiddotl

It is mor~ than tragic that members of the Catholic community should suffer second-class citizenship at the hands of the politicians they helped send to Washington

It is about time that we sent a loud message to t~ose who would use and abuse the Catholics of this state P~jushydice is the main reason for denial of assistance to Cathblic schools It is unfortunate but true that there is more than a streak of thinly-veiled anti-Catholicism in our Congrbss

It is infUriating to think that a state witn such a la~ge Catholic population supports even if unwittingly the vicious bias of the senators and yes some of the redreshysentativesmiddot from our diocesan area

It should be remembered that this country is the only nation in the free world in which children who attend Cathshyolic schools are denied educational assistance Given 6ur fundamental tights as Americans one questions the inshytegrity and honor of our elected officials when such r~nk di~crimination is fostered in the corridors of congress u seems fashionable to be anti-Catholic I

Parents of children in Catholic schools are in justice entitled to tuition tax credits They haye no intention lof halting public education they merely wish to exercise their right to choose for their children an education that refle~ts their values I

It is unreasonable for Senators Kennedy and Tsongas to exhibit so prejudiced a response to Catholic concerns They adamantly refuse to acknowledge the frustration Of the Catholic community ormiddot to support efforts to abolish the bigotry shown to those who seek to fulfill their respohshysibility to God as well as to their country I

It would be well for the senators to realize that tne Catholics of this commonwealth are deeply distressed ~t their attitude Their vital interests should not be left to the

Imercy of men who continually relegate them to the status of second-class citizens -

The unthinkable became the nations center of attention after ABCs movie The Day After Unfortunately other than disshymissing the possibility of limited nuclear war between the two superpowers the movie raised more questions than it answered of which the most crucial is How can we best avoid nuclear war

The question is much simpler to answer when only two powshyers are involved God forbid we

should have to ask it if the parshyticipants included a Qaddafi of Libya or a Kim II-song of North Korea Thanks to nuclear proshyliferation 31 countries will have the capability of using nuclear weapons by the end of the decshyade

Would Iran or Iraq be using nuclear weapons if they were available to them in their presshyent conflict

While middotthese questions may havl~ to be answered for real in 10 years theremiddot are other qu~sshytions that must be dealt with now

Nbat should be our posture toward Moscow as we develop a coherent foreign policy One of the principal reasons that Alexander Haig parted ways with the Reagan administration was the lack of clarity and conshysistency in US foreign policy

For better or worse Washingshyton has vacillated between a hardline approach and detente The Soviet Union certainly took advantage of the Cold War

ACTIVITY TOME Manger Time Materials one

large white sheet manger figshyures (if the family doesnt have a set the figures can be cut out of cardboard and colored with crayons) The birth of the Baby Jesus is only a few nights away If the tree is not up yet now would be a good time for the family to put it up together If its already up remove all the presents so its base is empty The lights may be oJit the room darkened Take turns sharing what the tree symbolizes to me

(In Germany during the 1600s people used to hang apples and white wafers on trees to symshybolize the Holy Eucharist Thus

the tree that had borne the fruit of sin for Adam and Eve now be~rs the saving fruit of the Eushycharist symbolized by the wafers Later these wafers were made into stars hearts flowers and bells which have evolved into our present day decorations

Now pass out a manger charshyacter to each family member (larger families - one figure for two people) Ask each to share what that character of the Christmas story gave because he loved (example Joseph - a home for Jesus) Then each take a tum sharing what he or she may give out of ~ove for Jesus Place the white sheet under the tree and place all the manger figures except the Baby Jesus on the sheet near the manger or stable Sing together 0 Come o Come Emmanuel

TV parenting Lets peek in on a prime

time family show for a minute A child comes home from school and furtively thrusts a package behind the couch What have you got there queries his mother

Nothing he says quaking with fear

Lets see it say his mother Terrified he finally hands her a pornographic magazine

N6W ~ets stop Pte scene and talk about three possible styles of reaction authoritarian aushythoritative and permissive the three basic categories of parshyental reaction used by professhysionals who study and work wLth families

If she generaliy operates from an authoritarian orientation the mother will react with a high degree of parental control Sne is apt to express horror punish and set rigid rules regarding fushyture pornographic behavior and childhood deception A typical statement will be You have disappointed and disobeyed us I want you to promise never to look at another magazine like this Aand for your punishment you are grounded for three weeks

If she operates from an aushythoritative orientation she reshyacts with give-and-take - askshying questions 1istening to his explanation and coming up with a respqnse resulting from his replies Her typical statement wiH be I dont -understand why you need this but you obviously

you know its something your dad and I dont want in the house Please get rid of it right away and dont bring anything like this into the house again

If she operates out of a pershymissive orientation she allows the chIld to exercise a high deshygree of control She will probshyably look at it and shrug it off rationalizing that his embarassshyment at being caught is punishshyment enough

While as parents we may operate in all three styles occashysionally we tend to settle on one orientation or the other Reshysearchers dont agree on how we come to be one way or anshyother Folklore tel-Is us that were apt to borrow our parents methshyod of reaction but sometimes the reverse is true That is if our parents were rigid authorishytarians we may well end up being permissive in reaction to their rigidity

Authoritative or give-and-take parents have the most effective

style of dealing with childrens behavior but as seems all too true in parenting the most efshyfective is also the most difficult Its easier to react with authorshyity or to ignore misbehavior

But parentsmiddot are getting help from a surprising source shyprime time television In a study of parent-child interaction on 30 hours of prime time family programs there was a high domshyinance of give-and-take parents as opposed to either authoritarian or permissive parents If parents

their reactions on what they view television can serve as a valuable aid in parenting educashytion

It gives parents models other than their own parents an4 pershymission to try other methods of parenting We know that increasshyingly people model themselves on what they see on TV Childshyren who watch violent shows for example engage in more vioshylent behaviors than children who do not

From a moral perspective theres good news and bad news in all this Parents might model themselves on give-and-take parshyents thus learning techniques of reacting that are positive and helpful but these programs arent as popular as the soaps

The same study indicates there is very little normal behavior on the soaps and the bad news is that the soaps are highly popushylar and being timed at an ever younger audience Issues like abortion infidelity and deception displace healthy famiIy intershyaction

So it comes down to what we watch as far as healthy family life goes Will it be the soaps or Little House Revisited and Diffrent Strokes We control

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-FrI Dec 16 1983

A brief terrific sermon

Life was kicking me around one recent Wednesshyday morning Gods will and my will were out of sync I was full of anger self-pity and resentment I was boiling mad at some people who failed to recogshynize what a great guy I am and who had the temerity to critishycizeme

Maybe I had better get right to a church I thought to myself before I become a menace to myself and society I detoured from where I was headed and went instead to splendid St Francis of Assisi Church on W 31 St in Manhattan where wonderful and merciful Francisshycan priests hear confessions aU day long

I walked up the steps went in and went to confession The 1115 Mass was just beginning I had 50 things to do but decided I had better stay for the Mass which was being offered for departed souls I prayed for my grandmother and my father Thinking about them gave me a sense of gratitude and pushed the anger and selfpity and reshysentment out of my soul

The priest II middle-aged Franciscan with a cheerful face and a warm voice gave a brief sermon It was one of the best I ever heard and just what I needed that day It was sympashythetic compassionate simple and profound He said

We come together today to remember prayerfu~ly our parshyents relatives and friends who have passed through the doors of death to be with the Lord Our memories of them are intershytwined with the remembrance of the Lords victory over death and sin So our thoughts about death are far from morose

Death casts a marvelous light on the meaning of life In an age fascinated by the splashy and the spectacular thoughts of death provide balance andmiddot a sharp corrective The light of death reveals the hidden power and worth of the undramatic everyday stuff of life - faithshyfulness a steady loyalty sacrishyfice unselfishness

This remembrance of our deshyceased family and friends speaks a hopeful word to -us I dont think they would want to trade places with us for they now know firsthand that the suffershyings of life are as nothing comshypared with the glory revealed to them Courage they shout as they cheer us on for eye has not seen nor ear heard nor can you possibly imagine what God has prepared for those who love him

I think we need to hear this message of brightness and hope today Life gets complicated and seemingly unmanageable at times and we get bogged down We need to be cheered on by the truth that God is with us in

REEL

his undiminished love and saving power

We can just take one day at III time walking with him In simplicity nnd trust plugging along in OUII efforts to be faithshyful - maybe kicking things around and getting kicked around sometimes but resilient like Peter confident of Gods mercy and sure of the evershypresent opportunity for new beshyginnings

Our loved ones who are with the Lord assure us Its all worth it Dont give up Stick with it Th~refore console one another with this message

A superb sermon I oleft Mass that day renewed in faith and hope full of optimism and high spirits My morning mopery had completely fled chased by sacshyraments prayers and the priests heartening words

The priest was Father Giles BelIo OFM I wish to thank him for redeeming iny day He didso much for me that I felt impelIed to share lhis sermon with you By the way Father Bello is a Brooklyn boy originally so no wonder hes so smart

Confident of Gods mercy and sure of the ever-present opporshytunity for new beginnings That is an inspiring thought for any time but especially for this time of Advent I thank God my soul was sick that Wednesday mornshying

FATHER laPLANTE with a salt container presented to him upon his departure from Moscow (Rosa Photo) From Moscow to Quebec

Assnmptionist is reassigned By Pat McGowan

The best pizza chef in Moscow is switching his base of operashytions to Quebec

Hes Assumptionist Father Eugene V LaPlante originally from St George parish Westshyport whos just completed a second term as chaplain to American Catholics stationed in the Russian capital

As the only CathoHc chaplain in the Moscow diplomatic comshymunity he served American Catholics in Moscow as well as Catholics attached to other emshybassies He had little contact with Russian Catholics mainly he said to avoid problems for them with officialdom since contacts with foreigners are not encoUraged

Theres no specific relationshyship simply being kind to each other is the important thing ~e explained

In answer to several specific questions about Russian affairs he simply smiled gtroving that some ofmiddot his flocks diplomatic expertise had brushed off on him

Altogether Father LaPlante son of Mrs Eugene LaPlante and the late Eugene LaPlante has spent seven years in Moscow where he has been succeeded by another Assumptionist

His religious community he said has served in Russia since 1905 and when in 1933 the US and the Soviet Union established diplomatic relations and Amershyicans in Moscow were granted the right to have their own minshyisters an American Assumptionshyist already in the capital New Bedfordite Father Leopold Braun was named the first Catholic chaplain That came about said Father LaPlante because the

bishop then in Moscow was a French Assumptionist and it was easier to work with someshyone in the same community

As a matter of fact Father LaPlante pointed out the Fall River diocese has over the years supplied a good many Assumpshytionists to Moscow Father Joshyseph Richard also of New Bedshyford now associate pastor at St Dominics Church Swansea served twice in Moscow in the 1960s and the 1970s The chaplains job is demandshying said Father LaPlante He dealt with people from many embassies offering three to four CCD programs at anyone time He recruited teachers from Spanshyish English and French classes and handled Italian himself while a little aid for Germanshyspeaking youngsters came from a German priest who visited Moscow several times yearly to minister to his countrymen

Father LaPlante said daily Mass in his eighth floor Moscow apartment while weekend Massshyes attended by some 300 worshyshipers were offered in the American embassy cafeteria Every month or so he journeyed north to Leningrad to say Mass for embassy personnel stationed in that city He also regularly conducted a charismatic prayer group for some 15 members

In Moscow he used a Plymshyouth to visit his parishioners scattered about the city I have enough Russian to be able to get around he said

A highlight of his first tour of duty in the Soviet capital came when he baptized an American convert Later she described the experience of becoming Cathshyolic in the capital of the Comshymunist world in a Catholic Digest article

LOS ANGELES (NC) The Catholic Church in Poland has endorsed a sobriety movement by encouraging Catholics not to drink vodka during the current Holy Year the Los Angeles Times has reported

The report from Warsaw said the movement is aimed at lowershying Polands high rate of alcoshyholism and related problems of personal violence worker abshysenteeism and auto accidents The Holy Year ends April 22 1984

The church it said is urging parishes to support the program with its own pro-sobriety pledge which has been taken by hunshydreds of Catholics

A similar pledge to swear off vodka for one year has gained popularity outside the church the report said It added that one in every seven Poles is thought to be a problem drinker and it is believed that one in every 10middot Polish workers is drunk on the job

His reputation as a pizza () maker came from his work with exchange students visiting Mosshycow Organizing discussion groups for them he wound up sessions with Papa Gino style creations guaranteed to comfort homesick Americans

During leisure hours Father LaPlante took advantage of the cultural life of Moscow includshying ballet and theatre offerings and museum exhibits He was himself involved in singing and acting with MADS the Moscow Amateur Dramatic Society Members for the most part emshybassy personnel produced such Broadway hits as The Good Doctor and Guys and Dolls he said

Between his Moscow assignshyments Father laPlante was vice-officialisat the Quebec reshygional marriage tribunal a post to which he will return after several months of study of the new code of canon Jaw at St Pauls University in Ottawa

He admits that he will miss his pastoral work in Moscow when he returns to a desk job but he does not expect to return to the Soviet capital It was unusual that I should have two assignments there he said

While visiting his mother in North Dartmouth however he kept his pastoral hand in by asshysisting at St George parish on weekends St George was also the scene of a festive Mass in October marking the priests silver jubilee of ordination Soushyvenirs for the occasion were holy cards with a prized photograph of Father LaPlante with Pope John Paul H

Right now the iAssumptionist is preparing for his new assignshyment Asked to compare the Russian climate with that of Canada he chuckled Quebec City is far colder windier and snowier than Moscow he deshyclared

But Uncle Gene the priest as CJ his 5-year-old nephew calls him is ready for the n~t

chapter in his much-traveled life

Religious meet ~ith pope By Sister MarY AM Walsh

ROME (NC) - The church must better understand feminshyism if it wants to solve probshylems facing women religious Pope John Paul II told women

religious leaders during a series lof luncheon meetings

He spoke of feminism in the lontext of why religious vocashyitions have dropped The pope also said that

- women religious should be paid adequately for their work

apostolically the presence of women religious is more imshyportantin the local church than that of a priest

- there is a crisis in mashyternity in the Western world and physical and spiritual mashyternity are intimately linked to

~vomans identity The pope expressed the views

during nine hours of conversashytions in June and July with 10 mpresentatives of womens reshyJigious orders They were quoted indirectly in a report prepared by the women and sent to 2000 women religious leaders around the world after having been reshyviewed by the Vatican Congreshyglltion for Religious and Secular Institutes

The women religious expressshyed concern over the lack of voshycations to religious life and said that long term commitment is sometimes lacking because of tbe changing social and political environment the report said

The pope stated that it apshypears today that young women am less sensitive to the caU to reJ igious life than are young mEn In the past the opposite was true the report added

IFeminism was brought up as a eactor in the decline in vocashytions and the pope expressed hiS conviction that we must deEpen our understanding of the womens movements in order to understand the problems of reshyligious life the report said

The report indicated that the popemiddot also acknowledged the positive and negative aspects of feminism and said that reacshytions against the abuses of men

I

are justified The meetings took place over

lunch in the popes apartment June 7 June 14 and July 5 the report said Attending were members of the executive comshymittee of the International Union of Superiors General Cardinal Ednardo Pironio prefect of the Congregatiqn for Religious and Secular Institutes and Archshybishop Augustin Mayer congreshygation secretary

The report said the pope exshypressed concern regarding the crisis in maternity in the Westshyern world and stated that he sees maternity - physical and spiritual -as intimately related to womans identity

The nuns told the pope that a changing society requires a changing role for religious who now increasingly work in colshylaboration with the laity often individually rather than in large numbers and together in schools and hospitals as they had in the past the report said The nuns added that appreciation of relishygious life has lessened

In response the holy father stated his conviction that aposshytolically the presence of women religious in a local church is more important than that of a priest

The report added that in many places the presence of the church is in fact the presence of the religious

Bishops on their ad limina visits have stated that the presshyence of women religious is an element without which it would be difficult to build a local church the report continued

The women introduced the topic of the relationship between bishops and religious and said that at tiJnes there is a tension between religious and bishops because of differing concepts of authority or because areas of authority are poorly defined the report said

lroblems are also created when a bishop considers diashylogue as the communicatfon of a d~~_sion w~ich has already been made Today we see diashy

logue as searching together for a common solution to questions of mutual concern

The third meeting discussed religious life in the United States and took place after the announcement that the Vatican had initiated a study of US religious life

The report said the nuns told the pope that when cultural values are not recognized or reshyspected problems are created and communication becomes difficult

Regarding the stUdy of US religious life the report said the pope was told that greater conshysultation should have taken place prior to the decision to do the study The report noted that the

holy father expressed his gratishytude for the observations made regarding the United States which brought facts and helped interpret them He also expressshyed his concern reiterated by Amshyerican bishops regarding the deshycline of vocations in the United States

The report was sent in early December by UISG to its 2000 members

An accompanying cover letter by Notre Dame Sister Kay McshyDonald UISG president said Our holy father listened with

great attentiveness and assured us that his listening was an exshyplicit form of participation

Participants at the meetings included- US Sacred Heart of

Mary Sister Mary Milligan and St Joseph Sister Dorothy Bushyjold

A similar series of nine-hour meetings occurred in 1983 beshytween the pope and 11 leaders of middotmale religicgtus orders They included discussion of problems which religious communities of men encounter in dioceses

Ideas developed at both series of meetings are-beingcombined into one report to the pope Meeting participants said the pope may use the infonnation in preparing a documen~ on relishygious life expected to be pubshylished in March

9 THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri Dec 16 1983 Diocese called to peace worli Continued from page one

in presenting the medical conmiddot sequences of nuclear warfare have contributed to the new moment

Nuclear weapons have been discussed on the policy level for decades but what is new is the nature of todays discussion he said It used to be consensual in that everyone agreed on the need -for such weapons Top level people are now questioning that given

If ordinary Catholics parshyticipate in the nuclear debate on the parish ~evel at the same time as the pastoral challenges numiddot clear commitment on the policy level the church has the opporshytunity to shape the direction of where we go declared Father Hehir

He said the pastoral was writshyten to shape the nuclear chalshylenge in the public mind and to pose the key moral question for the rest of the century as expressed by the late German theologian Romano Guardlni whether we can develop the moral capacity to control the power we have already created

When we can do almost anyshything demanded Father Hehir how do we decide what we ought and what we ought never to do

The pastoral he said points out that such questions involvshying the fate of planet Earth are at heart moral and religious He added that the US bishops reshysponse to the nuclear question is the classically Catholic reshysponse to questions of war and peace which has been discussed for over 1500 years

Father Hehir said that the third part of the pastoral The Promotion of Peace flows from the Catholic vision of peace described by Pope John XXIII in the encyclical Pacem in Terris as a positive human good that must be built at every level of human relationships

On the matter of non-violence as a personal choice in the case for instance of conscientious objectors to military service Father Hehir said the pastorals stand is that non-violence as a personal choice wiH be supportmiddot ed by the church hut that the churchs public view is that some use of force is permissible He hastened to point out howshyever that this view was shaped in pre-nuclear days and today is challenged by the unpreceshydented problem of nuclear force

More time was spent by the pastoral drafting committee on the question of morally permisshysible military action in the numiddot clear age than on any other matter said Father Hehir Given the just war principles of Cathshyolic theology that call for due proport~on between the gravity of injq~tice suffered and the damage retribution would inshyflict aJld an absolute ban on injury of noncombatants he said thE bishops developed their radical skepticism as to conshytrollabilJty of nuclear weapons

Anyone asked to injure the innocent is expected to disobey orders if he or she is to remain faithful to Catholic teaching said Father Hehir adding that directly intended attacks on the cities of others would never be permissible even if our cities are attacked first

people should pray The more you know about this question the more you know theres no anshyswershort of prayer

The program was coordinated by the Diocese Department of Education It concluded with a prayer service

It pays to advertise in The Anchofo the largest

weekly newspaper in Southeastern Massachusetts

reaching 27000 subscribers and an estimated

100000 actual readers

The bishops he said can see middotimiddotmiddotmiddot~~~~~middotmiddotmiddot~~middotmiddotmiddotmiddot~~iLmiddot(f()iimiddot~middotmiddotmiddotmiddotmiddotmiddot~~middotmiddotino circumstances in which first use of nuclear weapons would be justified - a stand setting them at odds with current NATO 1984 o~~ strategy ~ bull

These are powerful principles said Father Hehir but they flow from the same respect for life attitude which has guided the church stand against abortion

i

He noted however that in the pastoral the bishops are speakshying at varying levels of moral authority They have for inshystance no good answer to the problem of nuclear deterrence

Its a paradox said Father Hehir People build arsenals and say they want never to use I them The bishops are frusshytrated by the situation and acshycept deterrence only as a conshyditional strategy

Accepting political reality he said they argue for reducing the size scope and signifishycance of deterrents

Discussing presentation of the pastoral to parishioners who may not agree with all the bishshyops stands he emphasized that civility and charity are needed in discussion as much as conshyvictionand commitment

And Advent is a season of hope he said reminding his listeners that hope is where religious people go when probshylems are ~arger th~n life

Small Groups In small-group sessions folshy

lowing Father Hehirs talk parshyish representatives discussed methods of bringing his message to their communities

Most agreed that strong pulpit backup wOl~ld be needed for study groups or other discusshysion forums and the suggestion was made that homilies CQuld reach those unable to attend meetings

The role of prayer and sacrishyfice in the nuclear debate was emphasized as was the difficulty of reaching parishioners opposed t5gt stands taken by the peace pastoral

In a closing session Father Hehir answered questions that surfaced at the small-group meetings He emphasized that young people must know that they belong to a church deeply concerned about nuclear issues and that Catholics should take their convictions into their civic and organizational lives

Support or educate your representatives he urged reshyminding the audience not to unshyderestimate the politicai strength of Catholics

Every pastor need not beshycome an authority on nuclear strategy he said but parishes can provide a forum for the experts to be heard

Most of all he declared

Often he and I sat alone and talked Although many medical experts advocate the honest tell em approach we never ta11ced openly of the impending obvious Yet those who iove know the unspoken thoughts and feeiUngs of their beloved so no overt declaration need be made

So it was with Grampy - he and I would sit for hours as he talked ()f h~s boyhood days and his favorite home-baked bread He talked of growing up in a home overflowing with childrenmiddot and love and little else

All the days moved on and his cond1itioned worsened I watched Gram at his side hour after hour saying little and suffering much

And what of his sons Their pain too was under the surface but the disease the hope for a new treatment and finaIly the reali2ation that the former will _win nnd the latter will lose was wriWm on their faces How do you Bay goodbye to your first quartl~rback your first baseball coach

Christmas Day dawned cold and grey It seemed that death was very close yet as if not wishing to tarnish Christmas memories Gramp hung on and made valiant efforts to rise from his bed

Our Bles~d Lord did not take him home until three days after Christmas and with my husband Gram and 1 seated beside hhn he breathed his last As I watched Jife ebb from him I

bade him farewell and thanked him for loving me and sharing his hearts thoughts

So when Christmas rolls around again this year I shall think of baking bread and feel his bony hand on mine and know that Christs birth allowed this kind of love to come into my life

January 1982 visit by the pope to a nearby Catholk parish Mr Meyer said

He asked that the papal visit be seen in the context of other visits by Italian bishops to local Lutheran churches He said the pope would be welcomed as the bishop of Rome but without signifying recognition of papal primacy

The Vatican however saw the visit as symbolizing the growing community between the Cathshyolic and Lutheran churches said Msgr Aloys Klein who oversees Catholic-Lutheran relashytions for the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity

However the popes ecumenimiddot cal initiatives especially his parshyticipation in celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Luthers birth have been criticized by dissident French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

Archbishop Lefebvre leader of a movement opposed to many teachings of Vatican II especishyally on ecumenism and liturgical reform was supported by Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer reshy

tired head of the Diocese of Campos Brazil

They held a press conference in Olten Switzerland on pee 9 to make public an open Jetter to the pope

The letter criticized the new Code of Canon Law and the ceremonies marking the Martin Luther anniversary

The two dissident bishops alshyso criticized what they called

- The deviant concept of ecumenism in the church

- Collegial governance and democratic orientation in the church

- Use of Protest~nt concepts regarding the sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments

- False concepts of the rights of man in the Vatican II Declamiddot ration on Religious Liberty

- General diffusion of hereshysies resulting from thEl suppresshysion ot the Holy Offic

After Vatican II ~he Holy Office in charge of monitoring Catholic theological orthodoxy was reorganized and renamed the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

11 Christmas is for sure There will be no special

bulletins on the evening news this year saying Sorry Christmas has been called off this year No anshynouncements that Christmas has been taken over by rebel forces no computer errors that wHI dishyvert Christmas to the moon inshystead of earth no trust-breaking games as there often are in hushyman relationships that end in a phone ~ssage saying Too bad I wont be there Ive got something more important to do

No Advent holds a promise that for a change theres someshything we can count on There is no question about it The child will be born the savior will come

The certainty that aocompanies Advent each year is so needed and welcomed In this world of ours where so many things are subject to Interruptions disropshytions and terminations

We go from day to day not knowing what each will bring trusting most of the time that we will progress with blessed ordinary normalcy but never knowing for sure

that if we listen to him believe him and foHow him our Father in heaven will be there to welshycome us when we make our transition from Ute on earth to life forever

Without hesitation the savior spells out the road map that is the certain course to happiness eternally Its a sure one Its in our control to folloW or not Its not a decision made by chance but by choice

If we fall into the trap of tr~ating Advent as merely the preparation time for a holiday - instead of the coming of the savior - weU never see the real gift this waiting time offers us For what well do is inject all our ordinary uncertainties into the very season of Advent itshyself

And well miss its essence when we should be reveling in its therapeutic message - that the Lord is coming no ifs ands or maybes

Adventists object

to Vaticall ambassador WASHINGTON (NC) A camshy

paign to urge President Reagan not to appoint an ambassador to the Vatican has been launchshyed by the Seventh-day Advenshytist Church

The church in a half-page adshyvertisement published Dec 5 in The Washington Post urged readers to call or write the White House on the issue It also urged discussions on the issue with friends associates your conshygressmen and fellow believers

Reagan signed legislation Nov 22 which lifted a century-old ban on formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the Holy See The measure does not require appointment of an ambassador but allows the presishydent to take such action

The Adventist advertisement Hsted five reasons against an ambassador to the Vatican

- The church established by Jesus Christ was in no sense a state It was uniquely a church

- The eallly church became less than pure by allying itself with the state and even becomshying a state

- Church-state separation is best for both church and state the advertisement said noting what it said was the Founding Fathers fear of entangling alshyliances of church and state

- Appointment of an ammiddot bassador would be an apshyparently unconstitutional act in violation of the First Amendshyments prohibition against preshyferring one religion over another

- Appointment of an ambasshysador could tarnish interfaith relationships The advertisement

cited the Holy Sees spiritual sovereignty over hundreds of millions of Roman Catholics shyincluding miillions of American Catholic voters

Also commenting on the issue was African Methodist Episcopal Bishop Philip Cousin the new president of the National Counshycil of Churches He said the question of establishing US diplomatic relations with the Vatican raises church-state isshysues requiring further examinashytion

He said however he had no intention of launching a campaign against such a move

The US bishops have taken no position on the issue and the White House has remained silent on whether an ambassador will actually be appointed

Reagans current personal representative to the Vatican is William Wilson

Papal poems ROME (NC) - A long-play

record is being made of 10 poems written by Pope John Paul II set to jazz music and the record is expected to be in stores by Christmas

With soft orchestral accomshypaniment by two Italian jazz musicians the poems are sung

- in Italian by female vocalist Paola Orlandi

Itmay end up being big You never know how the public reshyacts with this kind of record said one of the composers Tito Fontana

Most of the poems were writshyten by Polish Bishop Karol Wojshytyla about 25 years before he became pope

Titles include The Armaments Factory Worker Girl Disapshypointed in Love and Magdashylen

The poems express the conshytradictions of life The worker in the arms factory for instance laments that though what I create is all wrong the worlds evil is none of my doing

The Child of ChristmJ~ By Cecilia liIeIanger tain rem~rkable exprk~sions of

On that starry night two this temper of the tim~~ almost travelers reached Bethlehem The as if they were Messianic promiddot womans hour had come Did she phecies Ii recall the ancient prophecy of In Jerusalem there were men Micah that little as Bethlehem was out of it should come One who would be the ruler of Isshyrael whose goings forth have been from of old from everlastshying

The journey had been painful No door was opened to the weary suffering woman Her reshyfuge was finally a rough stableshycave

There a few hour~ later was born the Child whose birth has cast aglow on all the pages of time What were the thoughts of those who saw the light that night in Bethlehem Would that shywe could read their minds exshyperience their thrill

Where did our travelers now three go from Bethlehem

-

Propelled hither and thither by events by inner voices by intuition the Child and his parshyents suffered and did certain pre-appointed things until at last they returned to Nazareth

There the Child lived humbly His pleasures were simple free to all The complex life was not for him He taught and exemplishy

fied that humility of circumstance was nothing to be ashamed of He showed that in labor there was dignity

Jesus was a presentiment of change He caused anticipation of events expected yet unknown Certain writings of Virgil conshy

Computer helps young couples iDespite qualms one might they are advised of the ~ch~dule

have about being immersed in the age of computers a cheer is in order when the computer reshymoves the tedium of paperwork and frees human beings to minshy

ister to people So say officials at the diocesan

Office of Family Ministry in an article in the offices periodical Family Forum They explain that as of November registrations of young couples preparing for marriage in the diocese are computer processed at the Famshyily Ministry Office in North Dartmouth-

Explaining the process the article notes that about 65 proshygrams of marriage preparation are offered annually in the dioshycese

This represents some 2000 couples annually whose personshy

al information must be recorded and who are then scheduled for marriage preparation session$ shyusual~y in their own ~ocal area

Previously the area middotdirectors had the responsibility of all the paperwork and the scheduling as well as the training of group leaders planning programs and tending the needs of the engaged couples The new system will Hberate their energy to be deshyvoted e~lusively to working dishyrectly Wth their people

An a~ded benefit of the censhytralized processing system is that after the engaged couples mail their completed registrations to the Office of Family Mini~tY

for the entire diocese so [that they can select a program that is most convenient for them This can make a real diffetence to a couple working some disshytance from home or who live at opposite ends of the diocese

Pr I esentlY registrations for l984 are being entered into the ~bmshyputer but eventually all ~ose

from 1983 will also be added so that permanent records IWill be available from Januaryl 1 1983 on Each area director of FamIly Minis~ry will rective weekly -listings of the number of couples coming up and cumhlashytive listings that wiil anticipate future members

The Reason It is because God is beautiful

that things are beautiful because he is good that they are good because he is that tley areshySt Augustine

-out of the question What can I really do about it

One way to deal with such feelings is to discover what really is manageable Life is made up of many small actions decisions and tasks If we can exercise control over some asshypects of life we may begin to create good news in our own and others lives

What about the immediate world of our family In families conflicts often occur But acting with kindness can heal wounds For instance

- W~at household task could you do without being asked

- Who in your house could benefit from an unexepected note saying Im sorry we had that fight Could we start over again

The parish community is anshyother place to spread some good news Look around before Mass Can you find five people to inshytroduce yourself to - perhaps young people who go to another school

Sure this would take a little courage but sowing seeds of love does~t happen by magic

Bryant Gumbel and other TV anchorpersons -probably wont

notice the efforts of htdividuals to create a little gOQd news yet responding to others lovingly is definitely good new$

POpe may meet Agca VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope

John Paul II will make a Dec 26 Christmas visit to a Rome prison to celebrate a Holy Year Mass that may be televised to other prisons around the world

The pope will probably go to Rebibbia prison Vatican officials said where convicted papal asshysailant Mehmet Alimiddot Agcais serving a life sentence for his May 1981 attack on the ponshytiff

On Dec 7 the Italian Catholic news agency ASCA quoted unshynamed Vatican sources as sayshying the pope asked to meet Agca during the prison visit

The ASqA report said Vatican and Italian Justice Ministry offishycials were working out details of the meeting and added that government officials see no mashyjor obstacles to the facemiddotto-face encounter

The Vatican Press Offic~ had no comment on the report

The pope will impart a Holy Year indulgence to the prisoners according to Archbishop Mario Schierano Jtead of tIie Vaticans Holy Year committee

Pope John Paul will probably visit Rebibbia prison rather than Regina Coeli (also a Rome jail) because Rebibbia is larger and houses both men and women Archbishop Schieranosaid

We hope the visit will be

televised so the large number of prison inmates around the world can share indirectly in the event he added

Rebibbia prison holds someof Italys toughest criminals inshycluding 51 people awaiting trial in January on charges of armed insurrection attempted murder kidnapping and robbery

Agca was brought early last summer from a top security prison in Ascoli Piceno Italy to Rebibbia for questioning in the continuing investigation into the papal shooting

Magistrates from Italy and Bulgaria have investigated Agshycas claim that there was a plot carried out with the help of Bulshygarians and with the knowledge of the KGB the Soviet secret service

On Dec 6 two Bulgarian inmiddot vestigators arrived in Rome for

another round of intensive quesshytioning of Agca

Full unity VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has expressed his wish for a full union with Orshythodox churches in a letter to Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Dimitrios I of Constantinople I send my wish that the full union with our sister churches for which Jesus prayed may soon be realized the pope said

NO ROOM AT THE INN The Innkeeper said No I cJ1 do he said And I said you can go back out into the humiliation Because you havent stopped caring and helpshy

cant help you he said Go street and you can look sad ing we at Covenant House are able to touch these kids away he said I with your hands to love them with your love to share the

It was late at night The T~e kid stopped crymg and he looked at me I can do blessings God has given you to share with them thatmiddot he said So he did or they did they both went backmiddot

inn was very crowded The out into the treet One boy was 15 the other was 14 I - Maybe my kids ~on t know th~t fo~ a while Maybe ony young couple was poor never saw them again when Jesus draws us all to be Wlt~ Him and the F~ther Will The husband frantic with i we all know each other and expenence that speCial shock

anxiety insisted and pleaded and -argued desperateIY1 Look my wife is going to have a baby any minute Please youve got to let us in Clearly there were no large tipsforthcoming to inspire the Innkeepers compassion and unshyderstanding You cant take responsibility for every pilgrim and traveller and wanderer who knocks on your door even if the girl is young and tired and aboutto have a baby

After he turned them away I wonder if the Innkeeper ever gave the young mother and her husband a second thought Listen I know exactly how that innkeeper felt Maybe hed had a bad day He wasnt such abad guy You just cant assume he was an unfeeling heartless wretch and sweep him out of your mind like so much dirt He must have had his reasons And besides it turned out okay The young couple found a cave on a hillside where some shepherds stabled their animals The 14-year-old girl had h b b th It t d til ht

er a y ere urne ou a ng Two kids knocked on mydoor one nightt was late and I

had had a bad day Ididnt wantto wake up Ididntwant to answer the door I was tired and had gone to bed angry There were abunch of kids bedded down on the living room floor and the six bunk beds were filled I had been mugged earlier that day and one of my kids stole the grocerymoney-and I didnt like any of my kids very much They just didnt appreciate me and werent very grateful Playshying the role of noble martyr to the hilt I opened the door

Two kids stood there uncertainly obViously reading the look on my face One of the kids said Are you Bruce and I said Yes And he said do you take kids to And I said Yes Can we stay with you he said And I s9id NObecause we have no room The kid began to cry Where can I go What

Father Bruce Ritter OFM Conv is the founder and President of Covenant HouseUNDER 21 which operates crisis centers for homeless ~nd runaway youth

Jesus WeiS lIke my kids a wanderer and I d th I I H h ~oma WI no p ace to ay IS ead I -

I can still see their faces just about as clearly today as I coult~ that night so many years ago I can ~till see the tears on tlil ~ boy sface I can see how the other kid stOOd and the way he looked at me I d f th I k k t b1on er I e nn eeper ep remem enng too

Jesus has to love my kids Im sure of that in all their pain and sadness-for Jesus was like them a wanderer

and pomad with no place to lay His head Like most of my kids He was born in poverty and welcomed by outcasts He was no stranger to the hunger and fatigue and misshyundestanding and rejection of their lives either Perhaps more than anyone else they have the rig htto be called the leastlbf His brethren and the right too to His special love and mercy for the wandering lost sheep that He cares about so much

Lobk Christmas is not the time for sad letters about my kids+letters that could perhaps diminish your own hapshypiness Christmas is a time for joyful thoughts about the Son 0tf God who loved us with such an immeasurable longshying love We celebrate His birth and childhood and inshynocerlce with tile giving of gifts and speaking of our own love We try to make our own love visible

Letbur celebration be simple and unsophisticated He was just achild in astable Let our joy be unhurried and unshyharrietqmiddot The angel wished us peace and good will Let us give gifts also to Him as the wise men did and in giving gifts to others le~t us give in His name and in love for we are all nomads and pilgrims together

ThaHk you for giving that gift of love to my kids Your kids now Because of you thousands of children and youngpeople are helped every day Because of your lovethousands are saved from lives of degradation and

of r~cogn~tion that must be one of t~e gr~at joys of ~eaven You re gomg to meet a lot of beautiful kids who Will kn~w your name and know your face and reach out to you With joy And I hope youll meet a couple of innkeepers who m~de atragic mistake and said No when they should have said Yes I wish you all His peace and His joy and the certain knowledge of His love Thanks again for loving my own homeless nomads who because of you do have aplace to lay their heads Always pray for us please as we never stop praying for you and thanking God for you I
