WASHINGTON (NC) - Bish­op Thomas Kelly, general sec­retary of the National Confer­ence of Catholic Rshops, hasasked President Jimmy Carter toreverse his decision to appointabortion activist Sarah Wed­dington as his liason for wom­en's issues.

Ms. Weddington, 33, has ser­ved as president of the NationalAbortion Rights Action Leagup.

She was the lawyer for "JaneRoe," the Texas woman whosecase was part of the 1973 Su­preme Court Roe and Doe de­cisions which struck down moststate restrictions on abortion.

Ms. Weddington has been gen­eral counsel to the Departmentof Agriculture. She was namedto replace Midge Constanza whorecently resigned as WhiteHouse liason with women'sgroups.

"I do not question Miss Wed­dington's character, talent orgood intentions," Bishop Kellysaid. "I do, however, questionher ability to adequately repre­sent to you the views of a veryimportant segment of our so~

USCC Asks CourtTo Reject NLRB

WASHINGTON (NC) - Stat­ing that "the jurisdiction of theNational Labor Relations Boardover teachers in Catholic ele­mentary schools must be consti­tutionally forbidden," the U.S.Catholic Conferpnf'e has askedthe Supreme Court to affirm anearlier court ruling that suchjurisdiction violates the FirstAmendment.

In a friend-of-the-court brief.the usec asked the court to up­hold a 1977 decision by theSeventh Circuit Court of Ap­peals Involving the NLRB andthe Archdiocese of Chicago andthe Diocese of Fort Wayne­South Bend, Ind. The high courtis expected to hear oral argu­ments in the case this fall.

The USCC brief said NLRBjurisdiction over Catholic schoolswould constitute "governmentalinterference in the operation ofa religious enterprise" and thusviolate the free exercise clauseof the First Amendment. Con­doning such interference wouldalso be inconsistent with priorU.S. Supreme Court decisions,the usee added.

By asserting jurisdiction overCatholic schools, the NLRBfails to recognize the fact thatthe schools are part of the insti­tutional structure of the RomanCatholic Church, the usee said."We submit that there can beno protection of the inner work­ings of a church without a pro­tection of the integrity of theinstitution as a whole and alsoin is various institutional parts,"The brief added.

Noting that NLRB jurisdictionover Catholic schools will allowthe labor board, rather thanchurch authorities, to decidewhen it can become involved inCatholic school labor disputes,the usee said such decisionsshould properly rest with thechurch if institutional integrityis not to be breached.

New Pope Sees Grave RiskIn Test Tube Conceptions

VATICAN CITY (NC)Just before his election, PopeJohn Paul I said he feared thattest tube conception could pre­sent "grave risks" to mankind.

Asked by the Italian maga­zine "Prospectives on theWorld" to comment on the testtube conception of British babyLouise Brown, the future PopeJohn Paul said:

"I share only in part the en­thusiasm of those who applaudthe scientific and technical pro­gress after the birth of the Eng­lish baby."

Stressing that he was speaking"as a journalist" and not as abishop, the then-Cardinal AlbinoLuciani said that the "possibilityof having children through thetest tube, though it may not pro­voke disasters, at least presentsgrave risks."

The pope wondered if testtube conceptions would increasethe risk of deformed children.

"If this is so, will not the sci­entist faced with new problemslook like 'the socerer's appren­tice' unleashing mighty forceswithout being able to hold themback or dominate them?"

The cardinal-patriarch saidthat science risks giving rise toa "baby factory," given today's"hunger for money and no-holds­barred attitude to morality."

The cardinal said that he, too,extended "most cordial wishesto the 'baby" Louise Brown, andthat he could not condemn herparents if they acted in goodfaith.

But he said that objectively hesaw no reason to object to Pope

A Wonderful BeginningAs Pope John Paul begins his unique leadership role

in the church and the world, it is more than obvious thatthe Holy Spirit has brought to the chair of Peter a warmand understanding pastor who likes to smile. What awonderful example he already has given to all his brotherswho have the care of souls.

How many of us who have been in ministry a fewyears can recall the pastoral advice of not visiting parish­ioners in their homes or not attending their baptismal andmarriage celebrations? What about the constant remindersthat the priest must always be wary of the laity; that hemust keep in mind that as a cleric, he no longer belongsin that category. The list of "no's" could go on and on.And what did it do for the church except divide the peopleof God, driving a wedge between people and priest.

Well, fortunately the Church has come a long way inits reflections on the roles of laity and priest. Those whostill cling to the old precautions face empty churches andblank stares. Those who have grown in the spirit ofVatican II, those who have the mind of John and Paul,realize that the priest is an integral part of the parishfamily, not removed from his people by the barriers ofan artificial clericalism.

Pope John Paul, by approaching the first days of hispontificate as a dedicated and caring pastor, should helpus all to realize that the truly humble man and priestis a man who can still, amid the difficulties of life, finda way to share a smile.

Political AdvertisingIn recent weeks this newspaper has received many

advertising requests from candidates who seek election ~n

the coming primary. Since The Anchor covers SoutheasternMassachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands and is· not re­stricted to a lo'cal community, it has indeed a distinct ad­vertising advantage.

For those presently in the throes of campaigning, es­.. pecially those candidates seeking county office, this me­

dium possesses political leverage that cannot be found inthe circulation areas of other newspapers.

From the viewpoint of r,evenue, of course, it shouldbe realized that all newspapers look forward to the fin­ancial windfall reaped at elec1tion time.

However, The Anchor is not a secular paper. It 5.s,unique both in content and intent. This paper was foundedto communicate the Good News to modem man. It is de­signed, especially when one considers the pagan state ofour society, to be a voice of the teaching Church, a guide toright moral living.

Seen in this light, it woulld be impossible for a Cath­olic paper to accept advertising from a political candidatewho is an avowed abortionist. On the other hand, to ac­cept advertising only from those who support the Churchwould leave the door open to accusations of political par­tiality.

Thus, to be free to express the views of the Churchon the campaigns and moral issues of our times, this newSo­paper has made the editorial decision not to accept politi­cal advertising.

Needless to say, it would be of great advantage toThe Anchor to profit from politics. However, morality ismore important than money; freedom is more importantthan feelings; integrity is more important than intri.gue.

charity which we should displaytoward our neighbors, that isto say, the human race." Or insimpler language,the starvingman should be given food, notspiritual sermons.

Buckley says that the newpope has got to be strongenough to acknowledge pastmistakes, among them the mis­takes of Vatican U. He focusesfor instance on the liturgy. "Theshowplace of the church is theliturgy and here the reformsproved disastrous: a disfigura­tion of what was venerable andbeautiful into a vulgar collegi­ality that is artificial, distractingand appropriately celebrated bythe worst abuses against theEnglish language in the historyof syntax."

Undoubtedly there arechurches where the liturgical re­forms have been disastrous butI think the new pope has biggerproblems than syntax to worryabout.

tant but as something less im­portant than ministering to thespiritual needs of men and wom­en. He writes: "The pope, on theone hand, must unmistakably bethe pope of the church of thepoor, who feels the whiplash ofhunger and pain and cold . . .but in so doing, he must alsoemphasize the church's primarymission on earth, which is tominister to the spiritual needs ofman rather than to his corporalneeds."

In lact, Buckley says that thepope's ability to subordinate thematerial to the spiritual is "thehighest skill his community candemand on him." He contendsthat men are destined to sufferthe vicissititudes of life "but thepope is there to preside over aninstitution whose principal rele­vance is its irrelevance to theterrestrial, if not mundane,problem."

What he says may be true inan abstract, impersonal sense.But today, since Vatican II, wedon't talk that way. As the oldmanuals used to say, the goodsof the spirit take precedenceover economic goods. But thatconjures up the image of pluto­cratic clergy singing vespers incathedrals while the poor starvein the streets of Europe. Wetalk today not of abstract vir­tues but of acts of charity topoor persons. The emphasis ison the person. We don't "savesouls," we save persons who arecomposed of body and soul.

As Pope Paul said in his Ec­clesiam Suam, No. 58, "Charityshould assume today its rightfulposition, that is, the first andthe highest scale of religious andmoral values . . . Let this be soof the charity toward God,which his charity poured outupon us, and true also of the

The Pope Bill Buckley Wants

'A good man out of a good treasure bringeth forth good things.' Matt. 12:35

By Father John B. Sheerin

Bill Buckley is always read­able. At times this veteran journ­alist is exasperating or mysti­fying, but he does catch andhold the reader's interest.

In a recent column, Buckleywrote about the kind of popehe would like to see ruling theCatholic Church. He left nodoubt as to his loyalty to thepapacy. "I write as a consumerof Catholicism or as a share­holder in the enterprise, alwayswith the underste.nding that thepope has all the voting stock."

It has been generally takenfor granted that Buckley is adyed-in-the-wool conservative.This is true of his political con­victions but in this article hereaches out in a progressive di­rection in regard to certain ma­jor problems confronting thechurch. He feels that a celibateclergy is not essential to thevitality of the priesthood and hesays that the binding force of"Humanae Vitae" (On HumanLife) could be relaxed, makingits teaching a general ideal tobe striven for rather than a to­tal ban on contraceptives.

His column was entitled "ThePope I Want: A Consumer ofCatholicism Speaks Out." Ournew pope, John Paul I, was elec­ted the next day. Does he meas­ure up to Bill Buckley's expecta­tion of what the new popeshould be? At this moment ofwriting, we know little of PopeJohn Paul's future plans or as­pirations but we do know thathe is the son of a migrant work­er and- that he has a very sensi­tive concern fo rthe poor.

In his column, Buckley castsa suspicious eye on social ac­tion. He does not dismiss socialaction for the poor as unimpor-

My husband and I don't feeldating, as a social custom,should be even consideredamong teenagers until they are17 and 18. And then it shouldbe primarily a prom or a specialdance.

We heartily support friend­ships between girls and boysand are most casual and relaxedwith the young people who arefriends of our children - reogardless of sex. But expectingand sanctioning dating amongyour teenage children is often­times placing a needless prssureon them.

We feel if home is a happyplace where parents and child­ren really enjoy being with oneanother, where there is affec­tion and interest, particularly onthe part of the parent, wherethere is humor as well as con­cern, teenagers will be contentand not have the need for ap­proval which is what mostyoung daters are seeking.

Let us encourage our teen­agers to socialize, to get to knowand appreciate each other in thenatural atmosphere of schooland church clubs, sports, etc.,and leave dating to adults.

He leftno doubt about the establish­ment of Christ's church, and theauthority of St. Peter and hissuccessors. ..

One may ask, why does a layperson presume to be qualifiedto assist the cardinals in theselection of a new pope? Whydoes a lay person write a bookor organize a group to counselthe princes of the Church intheir secret conclave? Is it togain recognition; is it to sell abook? Certainly a person who

Neither was it a sin for me tosee Coming Home. Again I sawthe sin of the strong suppress­ing the weak, the hungry seek­ing comfort and peace, thetroubled some sign of hope.Again I felt compelled to prayfor the cure of our ills and theindwelling of Christ in our lives.Did you think I would wish tocommit adultery, commit sui­cide, or begin to hate Americaand become communist for themultiple mistakes we made inVietnam? ...

The renewal must be the timewhen the Church comes to life.We cannot afford to stifle aswe have in the past the Eck­harts, Evelys, Chardins. Todayour Church has no Bonhoeffer,nor does it have a Buber, noteven Evely or Chardin.

I believe it is because theCatholic religion has been sep­arated from the Catholic life byjust such devices as the list andnonparticipation in our ownlives. Our spiritual living is partand parcel of our living in theworld. The message is love Godabove all things and other gods,love your neighbor.

Dear Editor:Accepting responsibility for

my own sins . . . and perceiv­ing it to be a correct and God­given responsibility, I musttherefore take issue with anydevice or statement that inter­feres with this responsibility inthe name of the Church.

Thus, I take great issue withthe movie rating list, publishedin your last issue (Aug. 24).This, I believe is a regression toan outdated concept of Cath­olicism - one participatory . . .I, as a member of Christ's Body,referring to Him in most rever­ence.

For me to view "1900" wasnot a sin. I saw in this film thatthe poor cry out for justice, theunloved for love, the scaredwithout faith for human organ­ization of strength-the rich toprotect what they have (fas­cists) the poor get what theyneed (communists) ... In sum­mary, in my faith, I did notperceive the Church to beworthless and Communism to bethe answer after viewing thismovie. Did you fear that Iwould? I felt an even strongercall to renewal, the reminder ofmy own weakness and depend­ence on Him for the guidance Ineed to love the unloved, feedthe unfed, give hope to the un­hopeful.

Liberation Theology Fai Is to Analyze ProblemsBy

REV.

ANDREW M.

GREELEY

John Shea commented re­cently in Commonweal thatwith theology the flight fromreason does not necessarilyguarantee contact with life. Nobetter epitaph can be writtenfor much of the theological ef­fort of the last 15 years.

There is, of course, a substan­tial number of theologians doingsolid, rational work, and even a

few whose academic rationalitymanages to sustain some COIl­

tact with life. But the Flakinef.sDemon has not been E~xorcised

from theological activity.Consider, for example, on the

Protestant side, the recent book,"Patterns of Grace," by Tom F.Driver of the Union TheologicalSeminary. For off-the-wall nar­cissism, Driver is hard to beat.Reinhold Niebuhr would behorrified and Paul Tillich pro­foundly offended to read hiscomment that salvation consistsin the "descent into wateryverbs."

(He is arguing, if I can (:utthrough the self-adulation, thatthe Real is Becoming, not Being

- scarcely a new philosophicalobservation.)

But for some uptight Protes­tant academics like Driver, thisswinging style gives them asense of being "with it," beingrelevant, being in touch withthings, "the way they are." Onthe Catholic side, liberationtheology plays the same role.

One of the mediocrities whowrites for the National CatholicReporter recently observed thatI was "middle class" because ofmy "irresponsible criticism ofliberation theology." It's hardnot to howl with laughter. Whocould be more middle class thanthe readers and writers of theNational Catholic Reporter?

Liberation theology is a prod­uct of state-paid German theo­logical faculties, propounded inLatin America by middle-classteachers and regurgitated inNorth America by middle-classacademics. For all three groupsit offers the marvelous titilla­tion of pretending that one isradical, Marxist and revolution­ary, in the "vanguard of thepeople."

In fact, like most other middle­class fads, liberation theology isinnocent of serious social andeconomic analysis. The void ofunderstanding the problems ofpoor people in poor nations isunblemished by the rigors ofeither theological or economic

methods.German political theologians,

at least, are in dialogue with theMarxists who dominate the uni­versity faculties. Latin Americatheologians, at least, are serious­ly concerned about the socialand economic problems they seearound them. But the Americanmiddle-class liberation theolo­gians are innocent not onlyabout the societies which pro­duced liberation theology, butalso devoid of understanding oftheir own society. They areeager to reflect· on everybody'sexperience but their own.

Like Tom Driver, they runfrom rationality but are nowherenear life.

There is no revitalizing driftline in the midst of an oceannor in the desert. It occurs onlywhere the sea and the sandmerge and work against eachother.

Is it not the same with thechurch? The liberals find theconservatives drag everythingto a standstill; the conservativesthink the liberals are undermin­ing their good work. Yet it isthat interaction that revitalizesthe church.

storm when waves poundagainst that beach violently.Tides reach higher than thatsa.fe line of drift. The seas beatagainst the soft sand, carryingit away.

A wide beach can become asteep crescent, eaten away byone spring's storms. But thatsand doesn't just disappear. It'scarried someplace else - towait. Another storm may toss itback on the beach, rebuildingwhat had been taken away.

But while that shifting andchanging is taking place, be­tween the two is that line ofdrift. In it, life is being rebuilt.The sun dries the surface, but

Thatwould be better off without theother. Liberals have powerfulplans that would revolutionizeeverything, ibut the conserva­tives block their progress. Con­servatives feel threatened by thechanges - things should stay

.as they always were. Eachsometimes believes that therewould be peace without theother.

But what would happen tothat beach? If yc,u removed allthe sand, there would be end­less ocean ... no place for any­thing to take root. If all thewater disappeared, the beachwould become arid, endless des­ert.

Each needs the other. Andneither is an unchangeable as it

it had been that way since thebeginning of time. The waveswashed against the lower beach,but never changed that portionahove the high water Hne.

It reminded me of the situa­tion in the church between con­servatives and liberals. The con­servatives hold fast, unaffectedby the changing wash of the lib­erals. They may be battered, "at­tacked" constantly, but abovethat line of drift, they are un­changeable.

The liberals are constantlychanging - gentle movementsseemingly incapable of doing anyharm, then choppy seas batter­ing each other as well as thebeach.

Carter Health Principles Called DisappointingBy

JIM

CASTELLI

WASHINGTON (NC) - Twoofficials of Catholic organiza­tions have called the Carter ad­ministration's national healthinsurance principles "vague" and"disappointing."

Francis Butler, associate sec­retary for domestic social de­velopment for the U.S. CatholicConference, said the principlesare also misleading because theysuggest that something is be­ing done about national health

insurance when no legislationwill be introduced until laterthis year and the administraEondoes not expect a program tobegin until 1983.

Mathew Ahmann, associate di­rector for governmental affairsfor the National Conference ofCatholic Charities, cited two ad­ministration principles as "verytroubling." ,

The first, he said, is the ad­ministration's support for co­insurance and deductible feu­tures. Ahmann said S-:lch fea­tures discourage poor peoplefrom seeking health care be­cause they cannot afford the de­ductibles.

The second major objection,Ahmann sa:'d, is that President

Jimmy Carter told Sen. EdwardKennedy (D-Mass.), a major na­tional health insurance advocate,that the administration programwould be phased in with separatepieces of legislation.

Ahmann said the NCCC fa­vors phasing in a. program, butsaid it should be spelled out inone piece of legislation.

Butler compared the admin­istration's 10 principles with 10principles offered jointly by theusec and t:,e NCCC at hearingssponsored last October by Sec­retary of Health. Education andWelfare Joseph Califano.

He said the administrationmet the USCC-NCCC principleson three cases, opposed themon one and did not mention the

others.The administration agreed

with the USCC and NCCC thatnational health insurance shouldbe financed through a combina­tion of federal revenues and em­ployer and employee taxes, thatit should provide consumer rep­resentation and that it shouldmaintain a pluralistic system ofhealth care delivery.

The adminstration opposed theUSCC-NCOC position on de­ductibles.

The USCC and NCCC calleduniversal coverage, includingcoverage for resident aliens andaliens admitted to the UnitedStates for employment. The ad­ministration called for universal

coverage for all citizens andmade no mention of aliens.

The administration made nomention of using national healthinsurance to promote prepaidhealth maintenance organiza­tions, a position favored :by theusec and NCCC, but it did im­ply such support, 'Butler said, bysaying the program should pro­mote major reforms.

The administration said pri­vate insurance programs shouldplay a "significant" role in ad­ministering national health in­surance with "appropriate"government regulation. Theusee and NCCC said privateinsurers should play only a mi­nor role.

While I can casually men­tion that I spent the week­end in Boston, I hate to addthat I spent it on my handsand knees scrubbing floors, but

that is exactly what I did. Ourdaughter is in her second yearat Boston University and sheand three roomates are shari;r.;gan apartment replete withcharm, individuality and themost unspeakable dirt imagin­able.

Such apartments have "end­less possibilities" that about$10,000 and a commercial clean­ing company could possibly a=:­complish in six months.

But the same results are ex­pected of family and friends

with short tempers and bonesthat don't feel the way theyused to.

What it amounts to is thatparents not only supply sup­port, tuition money and laborbut also every piece of furniturein the house that's not naileddown to their pleading offspring.All this in the guise of helpingthem become independent.

One item that I do feel thatevery house and apartment filledwith busy individuals should

have is a crock pot, a marvel­ous way to prepare a meal on abusy schedule.

This is an excellent way toenhance a tough cut of meatand could also be cooked on thetop of the stove if you don'thave a crockpot.

A human touch was added tothe solemn proceedings by aubiquitous fly the pontiff triedunsuccessfully to brush away ashe delivered his homily. Andthe papal zucchetto, the beanie­like white skullcap he wore be­neath his golden miter, remainedrakishly askew during the partsof the two and a half hour cere­mony when it was visible.

Looking toward the diplomats,dressed in formal evening dress,gold-braided military uniformsor Arab and African robes, thepope continued:

"We are deeply touched byyour presence, you who presideover the high destinies of yourcountries or represent your gov­ernments . . . in your partici­patfon we see the esteem andtrust that you place in the HolySee and the church . . . to helpcreate a climate of justice, broth­erhood, solidarity and hope with­out which the world would notbe able to live."

white damask miters and goldenGothic chasubles walked solemn­ly to the outdoor altar.

Smiling, tracing the Sign ofthe Cross and humbly bowing,Pope John Paul entered thesquare for the first time as pope.The crowd greeted him with re­sounding applause.

More applause and cries at"Viva il papa!" broke loose ashe sat for the first time on thepapal throne, set up on a daisbefore the main portal of St,Peter's, below a huge stone basrelief and a 19th-century tapes­try. Both art works portrayedJesus' handing of the keys toPeter.

Before the imposition of thepallium, the faithful invoked forthe new pope in a litany the aidof Christ, Mary and 31 saints.

Afterwards, the pope, wearinga tall golden mitre, received sym­bolic homage of obedience fromthe cardinals.

One by one they bowed, kneltat the pope's feet and kissed hishands. Each received a kiss onboth cheeks from the smilingpope, who conversed warmlywith them, greeting each, saidan observer, as if he were thefirst and only one to come be­fore him.

Throughout the ceremony,choir and people sang "Tu EsPetrus" ("Thou Art Peter.")

After the Gloria, sung in alter­nating chant and polyphonicverses, the new pope prayed."0 God, you chose me as Peter'ssuccessor. Make me be for yourpeople the principle and visiblefoundation of unity in faith andcommunion in charity."

After listening to the FirstReading in French annd the Sec­ond Reading in English, the popestood solemnly for the Gospelwith the crucifix-capped papalcrozier in his left hand.

As a sign of church universal­ity, the same Gospel was chant­ed in Latin first, then in Greekby an Eastern-Rite deacon.

Pope John Paul himself em­phasized church university andunity by beginning his shorthomily in Latin.

He later switched to Italian,then to French and back toItalian.

"With surprise and under­standable trepidation," he said,"but also with immense trust inthe powerful grace of God andthe ardent prayer of the church,we have agreed to become Peter'ssuccessor in the See of Rome,taking on us the yoke that Christhas wished to place on ourfragile shoulders."

The pope used the formalpapal "we" in his sermon. Dur­ing his first week as pope, thepontiff tended to refer to himselfin the first person singular.

He said that "from the mo­ment we were elected, through­out the days that followed, wewere deeply struck and encour­aged by the deep signs of affec­tion given by our sons anddaughters in Rome and also bythose who sent us from all overthe world expressions of theirjoy that God had again given thechurch a visible head."

BALTIMORE (NC) - Sayingthat the public has never for­given him for his controversialplea bargain agreement withPallottine Father Guido JohnCarcich, Attorney General Fran­cis (Bill) Burch has withdrawnfrom the Maryland gubernatorialrace.

"U's an issue that continuesto simmer," he said of the Mayagreement that gave FatherCarcich probation in return fora guilty plea to charges he mis­handled over $2 million don­ated to the poor. "I believe thatwas the reason for my fallingin the polls," Burch said.

Burch, 59, a conservativeDemocrat, was considered alongshot prospect in the Sep­tember primary. He had supportamong blue-collar and Catholicvoters and he gained state-wideexposure as a three-term at­torney general.

"The Pallottine thing had anadverse reaction," he admitted."It wasn't going away. I'm glad1 did it. It was the right thingto do. 1 bit the bullet and tookthe consequences. But 1 can un­derstand how some people areuncomfortable," Burch said.

younger children working thefields. The younger children gen­erally are in day care centers or"migrant schools" trying tocatch up on schoolwork they mayhave missed in the family's trekacross the country.

"They are all working for onegoal," such as improving theirhouse back home or buying anew truck, says Sister Alarid."It keeps the family together."The family unity "is somethingbeautiful to see, with everyoneworking together," adds FatherAlfonso Guevara of Brownsville."When they accomplish theirgoal, even the little kids cansay, 'I helped.' "

Sister Alarid, a native of Den­ver, has worked with migrantsin Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas,Ohio and Michigan. When thecurrent season is over in Colo­rado, she will move on to Ohio,where migrants will be workingthe tomato fields.

A great deal of the MigrantMinistry team's time is spentvisiting the migrant families,helping them to use the servicesof government agencies that areavailable to them, assisting themin purchases or in dealing withlocal businessmen and aidingthem in completing forms theymay have to fill out, as well assometimes acting as a go~be­

tween with farmers when thereare misunderstandings.

"We're trying to show themthat the church cares, that itloves them, that they are a partof the church also," says sem­inarian Don Brownstein.

Many people think of the mi­grants' work as hard but un­skilled, but Father Guevara says"they are skilled workers . . .they are like artists." It takes agreat skill with a hoe to weedthe plants and thin them outwithout destroying a lot of otherplants, he says.

IMigrant Nun l Depicts Difficult Life

TYPICAL MIGRANT HOUSING

By James Fiedler

DENVER (NC) - Migrantworkers are at the mercy ofthe element and the economy,says Sister Jean Michelle Ala­rid, who understands better thanmost the realities of the migrantlife.

"I'm a migrant myself," saysSister Alarid, a Sister of Charityof Leavenworth who is coordina­ting the Denver Archdioceses'Migrant Ministry. "I have nohome. Wherever 1 go, 1 also haveto find a place to stay."

The nun moves with the mi­grants when they leave theirhomes in Brownsville, Texas,and travels with them across thecountry. Currently she's workingin northern Colorado with ateam that includes a Brownsvillepriest and three Denver semin­arians.

The migrants must cope withthe hot sun that beats on themduring the day, the cold nights,and inclement weather that mayprevent them from earning moremoney. They remain on thefringe of the economy becauseof wages controll.ed by farmers,some unscrupulous crew leaderswho cheat them, disabling healthproblems for which they haveno insurance, inadequate hous­ing and some businessmen whotake advantage of the workers'lack of fluency :In English.

Most migrants, not surprising­ly, do not want to continue inthe type of work they do, SisterAlarid says. "The only reasonthey are migrant workers is be­cause of the poverty and thelack of other jobs in Texas,"she says. "They are forced finan­cially to come here."

Housing, the ministry teamsaid, is the worst problem themigrants face. Houses on thefarms for migrants often consistof only two bedrooms and akitchen, with beds for two orthree families jammed into thesmall rooms, and no runningwater.

The farm work is a familyaffair, with everyone except the

An Important Message FromWilliam H. HarnishAdministrative DirectorWhen you're hospitalized for sickness oraccident you are not a statistic ... youare a Catholic with problems. One prob­lem is often money: The coverage youhave may not pay all your bills. VicePresident Mondale is concerned aboutthis problem and recently stated that,

"For millions of our citizens today, the prospect of seriousillness means the threat of financial ruin and a lifetime indebt. Hospital bills are the single largest cause of personalbankruptcy in the United States today."

What can you do about it? The best answer is STAYWELL. The next best thing is have a good additional hospi­tal cash source should you or someone in your familybe hospitalized. That's what the United Catholic Group In­surance Trust Hospital Cash Plan is! It offers Catholics im­portant benefits that may not be found in other plans.Compare it with any other offer and see for yourself. Andremember, these cash benefits are in addition to any cov­erage you may have, even Medicare. Payments are madedirect to you or anyone you choose to use for doctor bills,hospital costs, whatever you wish.

When comparing plans, start with the important thingsfirst. Take first day coverage for example. Your plan startspaying the first day you are hospitalized, not the 4th or 5thday when you may have run through hundreds of dollarsalready. Cancer and Heart Attack bring additional benefits,and that's important. Folks over 65 receive full benefits,not a portion of what younger people get. See what theother plans do and say.

The reasons why I'm proud of our coverage go on andon. We spell them out in this brochure. We urge you tocarefully read any other plan and see if they match us. Canthere possibly be a better way to decide wisely?

We are very proud to say that the United CatholicGroup Insurance Trust Hospital Cash Plan is underwrittenand administered by the Union Fidelity Life InsuranceCompany. They know how to treat people as you'll seewhen you read the nice things their Policyowners have tosay about them.

I look forward to welcoming you as a member of theUnited Catholic Group Insurance Trust. We have_.no duesand never solicit contributions from our members.

Secretary General Kiurt Wald­heim has said that the UnitedNations is preparing a declara­tion against religious intoler­ance and discrimination.

Waldheim made the statementin an interview with the Italian

No Cead Mille FailteKILL~RNEY, Ireland (NC)­

Irish government officials show­ed their displeasure at the pro­Irish unification leanings of anIrish- American group by ig­noring the group, which came toKillarney for its recent annualmeeting.

The group, the Ancient Orderof Hibernians in America, hasmade no secret of its own dis­pleasure with the Dublin gov­ernment over what it considersDublin's kowtowing to the Brit­ish government on the subjectof Northern Ireland.

Rhodesian Prime Minister IanSmith and leaders of the Patri­otic Front have each placedblame on the other side.

Directing their oomments topoliticians and military leaders,the bishops asked them "to stopthe war now before it destroysthe country" and to"dismantleall the racial discrimination ofthe present political order."Such leaders, they said, must"assume full personal respon­sibility, both before God and be­fore all mankind, for their de­cisions.

Will these guidelines makeyour son a wise, sensible drinker?They will help. Growing up isrough, and there are setbacks.He may come home drunk again,and you will have to enforcewhatever penalty you haveestablished. The importance ofsetting guidelines is to spell outclearly what is acceptable andwhat is not. Persons who havelearned how to handle alcoholare less apt to become alcoholusers. Guidelines help him charta path in dealing with a new sit­uation, drinking behavior.

SALISBURY, Rhodesia (NC)- Warning of "the imminentdanger of total civil war in Rho­desia, with all its- frightful con­sequences," the Catholic bishopsof Rhodesia have issued an ur­gent plea for an end to fightingin that country.

In their joint "Plea for Re­conciliation," the six bishopssaid that although "most of theordinary people of this country"remain silent about the civilwar because of fear for theirlives, the church cannot do so.But, they added, being the "mor­al conscience of society" is notan easy task.

"Those who preach peace areoften mistrusted by both sidesand may be accused of favor­itism, opportunism and partial­ity," the bishops said. "Theymust even he prepared to be­come the victims of both theconflicting factions they seemto reconcile."

Thirty-seven missionaries andfamilies, including 19 Catholics,have been killed in terrorist at­tacks in Rhodesia in the lastfive years. The Jesuits and 12English Pentecostals were killedin June. The government of

can talk together about them,you can help him clarify histhinking.

Finally, formulate some guide­lines regarding drinking. For ex­ample, here are the ones we usewith our teens.

1. Never drive when youdrink. If you drink even onebeer, call parents for a ridehome. It might be embarrassing,but it might keep you alive.

2. No beer or liquor in the carever. Period. (For us drinkingand driving is the number oneprohibition. Getting drunk won'tkill you. Getting drunk and driv­ing can kill you and some otherinnocent motorist you hit.)

3. Set limits on how muchyou can drink, for example,three beers. Keep track from thefirst drink. There is no point intrying to count after you are toofuzzy to remember. Trust yourlimits and stick to them. Do notthink you can add a few morebecause you don't seem to feelanything from what you havedrunk so far.

4. You may drink at home.Your friends may drink at ourhouse provided we have talkedwith their parents and the par-

By Dr. Jim and Mary Kenny

Dear Mary:Last weekend my 16-year-old

son came home drunk at 3 a.m.He has never stay....!!! out thatlate before, and he has nevergiven us any trouble. The boyshe pals around with seem to benice boys. How should I handll....him? What if it happens again?

According to the law in oursociety 16-year-olds may notdrink. The simplest solution mayseem to be to follow the law,forbid your son to drink, andpunish him severely if he does.

While this solution seems sim­ple, we do not advise it for sev­eral reasons. First, you cannotenforce such Ii rule with a 16­year-old. He and his friendshave access to cars. If theychoose, they can get away fromall adult supervision and drink.Even less can you enforce sucha rule when a young man orwoman is 18 or 20.

One of the main jobs of par­enthood is to prepare a chilrl forindependence. In this case par­ents have the right and duty toteach a child about alcohol anddrinking behavior. If he is goingto learn to drink and make somemistakes in the process, it is farbetter he do so while he is athome than after he leaves homeas a young adult. Teaching achild how to use alcohol is farmore difficult than forbidding it,but it is the only approachwhich will help him in the nextfew years and throughout life.

In regard to last week's epi­sode, listen to your son. Try tofind out what happened, who hewas with, where and how muchhe drank. If you explode in an­ger or set down punishments im­mediately, you will cut off allcommunication.

Tell your son how you feel.Do you feel all drinking iswrong? Do you feel drinking isall right at times but gettingdrunk is unacceptable? Try toshare your own views and feel­ings.

Try to talk about some of theproblems he faces as a teenager.Does he know how to drink onedrink slowly so that he con­sumes very little over a periodof time? How might he handlepeer pressure when he is with agroup of boys for whom being"one of the crowd" means get­ting drunk? You cannot answerthese questions easily any morethan your son can, but if you

"As a Catholic," said the bis­hop from Jefferson City, Mo., "Ibelieve abortion is totally andfundamentally wrong. As abishop I have a particular res­ponsibility about safeguardingthat teaching.

"I disagree with people likeBella Abzug and some of thetactics she uses to spread hermessage. I think she holds thatthe ERA is a woman's ticket toabortion. How she can declarethis is beyond my comprehen­sion."

,Bishop McAuliffe told NCNews that his c~mmittee hadreceived a great deal of corres­pondence since the NCCB meet·ing in May. It appeared to himthat people had not understoodthe legal reasons for which ithad been rejected by the Board.

"At any rate," he told theCDA, "it is the concern of allthe bishops to support women'sequality under the law. Theseriousness of the issues demandsurgent and extensive attentionfrom the church at all levels."

sen religious life, it is easier togo deeper into Christian lifesince she is devoid of the restric­tions of the family," she said.

The renewal-oriented nun al­so criticized religious communi­ties for not deepening their so­cial concerns.

"I would like to have seen thejustice issues become deeperand more persuasive in religiouscommunities. I see the gap be­tween rich and poor growingwider each year. I would like tosee sisters more involved in so­cial justice questions. We haven'tmade an impact in this area withthe vigor I would like to haveseen," she said.

Bishop Affirms Sex EqualityNEW YORY (NC) - The

head of the bishops' Ad HocCommittee on Women in Churchand Society, Bishop Michael F.McAuliffe, strongly affirmedprinciples of equality for wom­en under the law, in ministryand in marriage during a dinnerspeech to the Catholic Daughtersof America.

He told 2,000 members of theConference of Catholic Bishops'CDA - many of whom are anti­ERA - that when the NationalAdministrative Board opposedhis committee's position papers,favoring extension of the amend­ment deadline, "it did so on thegrounds that the SupremeCourt with its present constitu­ency" would enterpret the consti­tutional amendment in the lightof the high court's "infamous"1973 decision to legalize abor­tions.

"Reasonably that doesn't haveto be," he commented, "but sojudgments are made."

The committee on women, hesaid, had been concerned withseparting the issue of abortionfrom ERA and "we said the two

"But celibacy still means giv­ing up genitality," she added.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NC) - Thepost-Vatican II changes in reli­gious life were responsible forthe sub~equent D1ass exodus ofwomen from convents said Sis­ter Mary Luke Tobin, whohelped spearhead renewal ef­forts when she was president ofthe Conference of Major Super­iors of Women.

The exodus stemmed from so­ciological reasons, she added inan interview here.

"In the 1950s we had an arti­ficial increase in religious life inAmerica. There was a religiousfervor in the country afterWorld War n, and novitiates andCatholic and Protestant semin­aries were fiIled. <But when thatreligious fervor wore off, so didthe stimulation of many who en­tered religious life," she said.

Many who entered religiouslife in the 1950s did so becausethey were foIlowers and left forthe same reason added SisterTobin, while others left becausethey "got caught :.n the trend ofleaving."

The drop in numbers however,has not lessened the impact ofnuns on today's society, accord­ing to the only American wom­an to audit Vatican II.

"One sister today can do what25 could do in a system whichhad no room for accountability,creativity, responsibility or per­sonal initiative. We still havepassive members, but they arefewer than in the past." shecommented.

Sister Tobin said she was es­peciaIly pleased with the broad­er interpretations of poverty,chasity and obedience.

"Poverty is now seen as livinga simple lifestyle, maintaining asense of modest living," she ex­plained.

Preferring the term "selibary"to "chastity," she said the vowstill retains its traditional

Other members say the realdivisions are not over propertyrights, but over attitudes, life­styles and the means of pursu­ing their spiritual lives.

The only uniting force of themovement, called the Slaves ofthe Immaculate Heart of Mary,is belief in Father Feeney's strictinterpretation that no salvationexists outside the CatholicChurch.

Dr. Vinson Synan, assistantgeneral superintendent of thePentecostal-Holiness Church andmember of the Catholic-Pene­costal Dialogue Team, told thecrowd to be aware of the treas­ures each church has to offer."You Catholics have a mightyfield of evangelism to work in.Renew the church from top tobottom," he said.

George Martin, editor of NewCovenant and Pastoral Renewalmagazines, called for unity ­among charismatics, with thechurch and with other Chris­tians.

WORCESTER, Mass. (NC) ­A court-ordered election hastemporarily, at least, broughtvisible unity to the divided fol­lowers of the late Father Leo­nard Feeney who was excom­municated in 1953 because ofhis salvation teachings but laterreconciled to the CatholicChurch.

Early this summer, ProbateCourt Judge Gerald D. MoClel­hin ordered the followers toelect a leader as a means ofsolving their property dispute.Since the 1960s the followershave been divided into fourgroups. Although the groupsshare the same grounds, theylive in different buildings andrarely meet.

Elected by majority vote wasFather J. William Gibbs, knownas Father Gabriel, a chartermember of the movement found­ed in 1949 by Father Feeney. Heis doubtful, however, that theelection will significantly unitethe groups.

In his address he said, "Thesubstance of the renewal, totalfocus on Jesus, is for everyone."

The charismatic renewal is"just normal Christianity. Itshouldn't be listed in the bulletinbetween the Altar Society andRosary Club," Father Bertoluc­ci said. He told the crowd tostop referring to "regular" Cath­olics as opposed to "charismat­ic" Catholics.

That attitude, in itself, is div­isive, he said. "But Jesus is foreverybody. The Holy Spirit isfor everybody. God has no step­children," he added.

"The real Jesus, who is alivetoday, must be the focal pointof any religious activity," hesaid. "You cannot take youreyes off the Lord.

Family PlanningBy Father Donald McCarthy

Recently the Catholic worldmarked the 10th anniversary ofPope Paul VI's widely criticizedencyclical opposing contracep­tion, "Humanae Vitae." Duringthese past 10 years the urgencyof responsible family planninghas been magnified by inflation,especially in health care and ed­ucation, two areas vitally nec­essary for family welfare.

The Second Vatican Councilrecognized responsible planningof family size as a conscientiousdecision to be made by the par­ents who must rear and educatetheir children. Neither the coun­cil nor !Pope Paul's encyclicalapproved of contraception andsterilization, methods of a familyplanning widely propagated bysocial and governmental agen­cies.

In the United States the wide­spread use of contraception,sterilization and abortion hassuccessfully reduced the birthrate to its lowest rate since theDepression of the 1930s. Simul­taneously the climate of pub­lic opinion has swung heavily infavor of the so-called "contra­ceptive mentality." In this per­spective, parenthood ceases to bea physical or moral obligationin marriage, and is only rec­ommended for those who enjoythat sort of thing.

The contraceptive mentalitylakes a notable impact ·on tra­

"itional sexual morality. Coupleswho have excluded parenthoodfrom their marriage often findit less stable. In 1977, in thiscountry, one divorce ocurred forevery two marriages.

Similarly, premarital and ex­tramarital sexual activity are

social systems that keep thepoor. Such systemic violence canonly increase the burden of in­justice and create the powderkeg for war.

But the teaching is not just toavoid war, but the positive onethat appeals to the conscienceof rich nations to realize theirmoral responsibility to helppoor nations to develop a de­cent standard of living. Thepopes have reasserted the rightof the workers to bargain col­lectively and the need of gov­ernments to intervene on behalfof the poor.

Catholics must begin to seethat involvement in the cause ofsocial justice is an essential partof commitment to Christ.

In the papal teaching that theright to private property is limi­ted by its social function, one isreminded of contemporary dis­cussions about the limits ofgrowth and the thesis that"small is beautiful."

Aggressive acquisition of theworld's goods has always beencondemned as greed. Now it isseen as not even practical. Inthe last analysis the popes cen­ter the whole moral effort toseem justice around faith inGod, the obligation of authorityto serve the common good andthe centrality of the family val­ues of love, justice and truth.

ly the new and pressing socialproblem facing the West and thechurch is the rampant injusticethat afflicts the peoples of theso-called Third World.

Where are the new poor andafflicted? Underneath the 39thparallel in southern Asia, SouthAmerica and! Africa. It used tobe said in courses on Europeanhistory that the Balkans werethe tinderbox of Europe. Todaythe Third World is the tinderboxof the world. At least a billionpeople live in a pre-industrial,pre-democratic, pre-capitalistmilieu, as though the 15th cen­tury still exists in the 20th cen­tury.

Where is most of the 20th cen­tury? Fundamentally in the Uni­ted States and Western Europe,with Japan, Australia and thenewly rich Arab states as part­ners. Social critics claim that thehealth of the First World hasbeen :built up by exploitation ofthe Third World, both during theperiod of colonialism and nowthrough the policies of multi-na­tional corporations.

Our last two popes tried todraw the attention of the churchand the healthy nations to theproblems of the Third World.

By Father Alfred McBride

Wars are usually fought foreconomic reasons. The propa­ganda may center on racialpride, love of country, manifestdestiny or some other self- justi­fying motives, but behind mostwars lies an economic ca1!sebased on some form of injustice.J:f the whole world wants peace,i.t must provide justice for itspeoples.

When the working classes ofEurope and the United! Statesneeded justice they had to fightfor it. The managers brought intheir goons to club the workersinto submission. So the workersbrought in their clubs and foughthack. Mob violence at factorygates, doors of mines and inc:ity streets marked the unpeace­ful achievement of justice forthe workers of the West.

Their will to win was mat­c:hed by their fists. They came.tothe bargaining table with a cloutwon by force as well as by back­ing from the new social philoso­phy and the social teachings ofthe church.

By and large the workers ofthe First World have won theirbattle. Other justice causes havestill to be won, such as thosefor women and for the blacks,browns and other minorities inthe capitalist countries. But clear-

TonguesBy Father Joseph Champlin

I felt uneasy during my firstSunday afternoon visit to theEnglish-speaking charismaticprayer group in Rome. For anhour and a half the several hun­dred participants from all overthe world, predominantly clergyor Religious, alternately sang,sat in silence, read scripturalpassages, offered comments orobservations and stood to praisethe Lord.

The last activity made me un­comfortable. Within it, some per­sons raised their hands upward;others shouted phrases like"Praise You, Lord Jesus;" manymoved their lips quietly in pray­er or remained silent; quite afew mumbled or spoke loudlywith unintelligible sounds.

A curious phenomenon devel­oped in this five-minute periodof standing. The combination ofjoyful shouts, fervent words and"praying in tongues" grew louderand louder, formed a beautiful,almost musical sound and con­tinued for a minute or two, thenwithout warning or direction,subsided gradually until total si­lence prevailed over the gather­ing. Afterwards, the group satresuming its alternating patternof song, prayer, silence andreading.

I was extremely skepticalabout this matter of "prayer intongues" in those days, but un­derstand and appreciate the giftbetter now, more than a yearlater.

We do know that at Pente­cost all, "filled with the HolySpirit," "began to express them­selves in foreign tongues andmake bold proclamation as theSpirit prompted them" (Acts2,4).

S1. Paul in his letter to theCorinthians states that "thereare different gifts but the sameSpirit" and lists one of thosecharism as the "gift of tongues"(1 Cor. 12, 4-11).

Later in the same Epistle heremarked, "Thank God, I speakin tongues more than any ofyou" and expressed his hope, "Ishould like it if all of you spokein tongues." (1 Cor. 14, 18-5).

The Acts of the Apostles tellus that for many years in theearly church some Christianswere "speaking in tongues andglorifying God" and "the HolySpirit came down on them andthey began to speak in tongues"(Acts 10,46; 19,6).

Charismatics see the HolySpirit's presence within a be­liever as the key to praying intongues. They cite this sectionfrom St. Paul's letter to theRomans in support: "The Spirittoo helps us in our weakness, forwe do not know how to pray aswe ought; but the Spirit himselfmakes intercession for us withgroanings which cannot be ex­pressed in speech" (8,26).

Among those who have em-

ures showing it costs the averagefamily $60,000 to raise and edu­cate a child?

Greg: That's scary, but youdon't have to have it all at once,and it doesn't have to cost thatmuch. Everything doesn't haveto be new or the best. I'm sureit can be done with God's help.·Since I have been married, Ihave thought about things Itook for granted before - aboutraising a family and being afather. It'~ challenging and ex­hilarating. Only after I met Janedid I see a plan for my life.The Lord's hand was in the waywe met. It was a clear manifes­tation of his personal design forme. And I discovered I wasopen to it.

Q: What do you mean, open toit?

Greg: To God's plan for mylife. If there were a child whileI am in school, it would upsetpresent plans and we wouldhave to adjust. The child wouldbe more important than gettinga degree quickly. It would workout. A child would indicateGod's faith in me, his giving methat kind of burden to carrywould be a sign.

Q: What about permanenthousing?

Jane: We would like to buya house. Maybe it couldn't berural, suburban or new. The citymay be the only place where wecan afford a house. Money isnecessary, but it's not one ofour basic values. Financial secur­ity can be a misleading goal androb you of other things if youare not careful. Our basic valuesinclude a true and good marri­age, a family in the Lord, openand active relationship with God;and work that serves others. Thekind of work is more importantthan what it pays.

without the use of contracep­tives remain largely unpopularand untrusted.

Pope Paul challenged scientiststo develop more accurate waysthan the old rhythm method formarried couples to know whentheir conjugal relations are fer­tile. Remarkable progress hasbeen accomplished since 1968.The latest approach to familyplanning is called natural fam­ily planning and is more reliablethan calendar rhythm.

It has begun to emerge withnew strength and appeal in di­rect proportion to the emerginghealth hazards of contraceptives.'fohe Human Life and NaturalFamily Planning Foundation(1511 K St. N.W., Wash. D.C.20005) has begun sponsoring re­gional workshops for teachertraining. The Couple to CoupleLeague (Cincinnati, Ohio 45211)has trained 160 teaching couplesin over 20 states to conduct aprepared series of four programsfor interested couples.

The first decade since "Hll­manae Vitae" has seen tremend­ous erosion of Catholic ideals ofmarriage, family life and sexualmorality. The second decade maysee a renewal of marriage andsexual morality based on respectfor the marvelous powers ofconjugal love.

Continued from Page Twelveabout that. It teaches us thatwe can get along without someof our money and helps keepour expectations down.

Q: What improvement do yousee in this economic picture?

Greg: Not much immediately.My summer job pays for my tui­tion next year, perhaps a littlewill be left over. Jane will haveto work another two years untiiI finish school. Now I am thehouse husband. I had to learnlots of new things, e.g., I bakebread every week. It's cheaperand better, and a real satisfac­tion. After graduation I'll get ajob and Jane will be a wife andmother at home.

Q: What about !babies?Greg: We haven't planned on

any immediately, but wehaven't closed our minds to thepossibility. There is neverenough money; there are alwayshardships. If we leave ourselvesopen to life and to love, it can­not be wrong to have a child,even in the midst of uncertaintyand hardships. We would worry,but we would be happy.

Q: What do you think of two­career families?

Jane: A two-career family isnot in our plans if we have chil­dren. I wouldn't want someoneelse taking care of my child.Neither would Greg. For somefamilies, it is necessary, butmuch of it is based on a falsestandard of living. We are satis­fied with our expectations ofnever being rich, or even com­fortable.

Q: Can you support a familythat way?

Jane: I'm sure there are othersdoing it on less than we make.We would like to have five orsix children.

Q: How do you react to fig-

more readily excused as mean­ingful expressions of affectionwhen the procreative potentialof such activity is deliberatelyand effectively excluded. Onestudy has shown a 33 percentincrease in both premarital sex­ual activity and premarital preg­nancies in the United Statesfrom 1971 to 1976. The epidemicspread of venereal disease offersfurther silent witness to the ef­fect of the contraceptive mental­ity.

Yet none of the members ofthe Papal Birth Control Com­mission who recommended a lessstringent position on contracep­tion would approve of thisdangerous contraceptive mental­ity. They felt that contraceptioncould only be justified withinmarriage for urgent reasons,never as a mere convenience oras a way of eliminating entirelythe procreative responsibilityfrom conjugal intercourse.

The fact remains that despiteopposition to the contraceptivementality by all Catholic leaders,the current inroads of divorceand premarital and extramaritalsexual activity within the Cath­olic community are distressing.

I want to focus on this song's core message, as conveyed inthe title. A person of inner security realizes that there are manylife aspects that defy complete control. There are ups and downs,disappointments and successes, many unplanned surprises.

Life'·s flow is bigger than any of us, and the trusting persondoes not fear the current. A skilled canoeist uses his well-timedstrokes plus the flow of the current to take the canoe where hewants it to go. Both steps are essential.

The skilled canoeist of life recognizes the flow of events andsituations surrounding his or her own life, and uses personaljudgment to choose new courses.

Those of us trying to follow a Gospel-centered approach tolife receive a special insight about life's flow. We learn thatno turn or curve in our life flow is occurring without God'spresence. Yet, too often we forget this. We begin paddling up­stream, or cross-current.

We try to re-create opportunities that are past, or try tohold on to situations while life is carrying us forward. Sometimesour best steering does not perfectly guide our chosen route.

Can we trust enough to let go of the control and enter intolife's flow? Above the inner noise of confusion, can we still hearGod's ever-present affirmation: "I love you - let go and trustme!"

Can we believe in the power of these words once spoken byGod to the prophet Jeremiah: "Before the creation of all things,even before I gave you life, I chose you to be my own." We arecalled to use fully every personal power to guide and direct ourlives. Yet we are also called to trust.

to hold as your belief that thesethings are true."

Clement of Rome, Clement ofAlexandria, Origan, Tertullian,Cyprian, all had almost similarviews concerning the soul. Cyri­an said to his church at Cart­hage, when that city was sweptby a fearful pestilence, "Vveought not to mourn for ourbrethren, who, by the call of theLord, have been delivered fromthe world, since we know thatthey are not lost, but se:lt beforeus; that they have taken leave ofus to precede us. We Dught tolong for them as We do for thm,ewho are absent on a journey, orwho have sailed on a distantvoyage, but we should not la­ment them, nor should we puton black robes of mourning forthem here, when they have putno white robes of glory there."

In other words, Cypl'ian wasadvising his church not to givethe heathen of his day occasionto accuse Christians of mourn­ing for their loved ones as ~f

they were extinct and lost.I have heard some holy elder­

ly people say, "I wish to makehaste and run to see my truenative land." This is how theyfelt on their death beds.

The annihilatiomsts, of course,give us a problem. They believethat when you die, you die, andthat is the end.

Too many of our young Cath­olics have fallen prey to this:kind of teaching. Believe me, wehave spent many hours debatingthat question. It's strange how,:>ften human nature prefers to'believe the worst instead of thebest about itself.

For those who practically wor­ship the body, it is good to re­member that in the minds ofthinkin~ people there is thisdeep,--fnborn, indestructible con­viction that the body is not theperson himself or herself, butrather a dwelling-place, an in.­strument.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese o·f Fall River-Thurs., Sept. 7, 1978

•By Cecilia Belanger

The last rites for Pope Paulwere beautifully done, low-keyand with great dignity and cath­olicity. The emphasis on the soul,the hereafter and our immortal­ity was what most impressedthe youth who viewed the tele­cast.

Throughout the Mass, onesensed that focus on the soul,that blessedness of the world tocome. A young girl who calledme said, "I learned more aboutreligion from watching the pope'slast rites than I ever did inCCD."

I know what she meant. Thereit all was before her, explainedso clearly and done with suchdignity and serenity. Despitesome pomp, there was simplicityand a sense of austerity and Ithink we all liked that.

"The funeral had soul," saidanother young friend. And intothe next day people were talk­ing about the "future of the soul"and "do we have one?"

Growing up, I read and heardso many versions of what thesoul is supposed to be. One can­not escape it in the Church. Ithink that the sum total of allI've heard, read and thoughtabout it is that the soul dwellsin the body, yet is not of thebody . . . the invisible soul isguarded by the visible body. . . the soul is imprisoned in thebody, yet preserves that verybody . . . the immortal souldwells in a mortal tabernacle,and Christians dwell as sojourn­ers in corruptible bodies, lookingfor an incorruptible dwellingwith God.

Justin Martyr, in a missiveaddressed to the Roman Emper­or and his sons, seeking to de­fend Christians from persecu­tion, solemnly reminds them ofthat death which is common toall persons, and of the existencefollowipg: "If death issued ininsensibility it would be a god­send to all the wicked, but sincesensation remains to all whohave ever lived, see that yeneglect not to be convinced, and
