Security for

pope is tightVATICAN CITY (NC) - Two

miles of wooden barricades andnearly 1,000 security guards sur­rounded Pope John Paul II Oct.4 when he returned to the Vati­can to beatify three Italian andtwo French Religious.

The unprecedented security ar­rangements in St. Peter's Squarewere designed to prevent anypossibility of a repeat of thepope's last visit to the square,when Mehmet Ali Agca, whowas later convicted by an ital­ian court, wounded him and twoAmerican tourists on May 13.

Most of the 125,000 peoplewho entered the square for thebeatification ceremony under­went some type of securitycheck: a metal detector searchfor many, body checks of someof the men and searches of thepurses of the women.

Because female security per­sonnel were not available, therewere no body checks on womenvisitors to the square. Also im­mune from the body searcheswere persons dressed in clericalor religious garb.

The square, normally accessi­ble through nearly 60 entrancesformed by the spaces of the semi­circular Bernini Colonnade that'partly encloses it, was surround­ed by a double-ring of whitewooden barricades that openedin only nine places.

Beginning at 6 a.m., three-and­a-half hours before the ceremony,a special team of Italian andVatican police officials mannedthe nine entrances and stood atvarious points along the four­foot-high barricade. Otherstoured the Rome neighborhoodnear the Vatican or were postedatop Vatican buildings.

There were no reports of ar­rests during the ceremony, norwere any firearms confiscated.

The 61-year-old Pope JohnPaul remained on the steps ofSt. Peter's Basilica throughoutthe beatification ceremony, butsurprised his security guards atthe end by walking into a groupof handicapped and sick peopleat the bottom of the steps. About15 guards quickly surroundedhim when he made the unex­pected move.

Vatican sources said the popehad been specifically asked notto go into the crowd.

The security measures wereexpected to continue at PopeJohn Paul's regular Wednesdaygeneral audiences scheduled toresume Oct. 7.

An American priest workingin the Vatican summed up thesecurity dilemma: "You cankeep the people away from thepope, but you can't keep thepope away from the people."

TORONTO (NC) - Two offi­cials of Catholic health organiza­tions support a recent call bythe Canadian Medical Associa­tion for a ban on alcohol adver­tising on radio and television.

Television ads for liquor "as­sociate drinking with a happy,euphoric lifestyle and withhealthy, young people," said Dr.John Shea, president of the Cath­olic Doctors' Guild of Toronto.

It is wrong "to give subtle sig­nals that this is a healthy life­style when any doctor can tellyou about the number of peoplewith alcohol-related diseases inour hospitals," added Shea.

Those who discount the Massand the rosary as boring rituals'are not likely to find even themost varied or spontaneousprayers of fulfilling their expec­tations. But if we truly lift Ourhearts and minds to God, we arelikely to find unexpected reowards in even the most repiti­tious of prayers.

Although it is true that manyadults who have abandoned thecustom of saying the family ros­ary have replaced it with otherdevotions, n"ne can deny thatmany have altogether eliminatedfamily prayer.

When I was young, our family,like many' others, prayed thedaily rosary. When this practicewas discarded it was replacedby little or nothing except graceat meals. We have yet to reapthe full consequences of inade­quate prayer forms in the con­temporary family.

A common objection to recita­tion of the rosary is that it is toorepetitious. The attitude we bringto this prayer will determine ifwe become distracted or in­volved. Many people find it im­possible to recite the words ofthe "Hail Mary" and meditateupon the mysteries of the ros­ary at the same time. The Scrip­tural Rosary allows for a medita­tion between each "Hail Mary"and affords those with this diffi­culty an opportunity to sharefully in this devotion.

We cannot avoid every dis­traction at prayer, even if wemake a good preparation for it.One person will succeed in thisbetter than another, according tothe natural disposition of his orher mind. Frequently, too, physi­cal suffering, want or anxietydistracts us while praying.

During October the RomanCatholic Church commemoratesthe feast of Our Lady of theRosary. Countless Catholics havebeen consoled through the inter­cession of the Blessed VirginMary. A spirituality that doesnot foster profound devotion toher is far from Catholic in itsorientation.

Unfortunately, the rosary hasfallen into disuse in the prayerlives of many, even though fewprayers have so captivated theminds and hearts of so manygenerations of Catholics.

A cynic might say that nowa­days rosaries are seen only inthe hands of hospital patients orwrapped around lifeless handsat funeral parlors, however, thisis not wholly true.

The sick and dying have al­ways found refuge in the Bless­ed Mother during troubled times.Indeed, no less a person thanMother Teresa accounts for herhappiness in the midst of squaloras a result of encounteringChrist in the Holy Sacrifice andMary in the rosary.

The Immigrant Dream

During the past decade over 60,000 immigrants havemoved to our diocese, the vast majority from Portugal.In our cities, the natural mecca for immigrants, we areblessed in having both Portuguese national parishes toserve the spiritual and psychological needs of the immi­grants and priests who have done an admirable job inhelping them adjust to a new land.

Yet, like all newcomers, they have been subjected toexploitation and even ridicule by some elements of oursociety. One area that should concern all is that of employ­ment. Too many immigrants are seen merely as cheaplabor for the many sweat shops that are yet the backboneof much of our local urban economy.

Viewed in the light of experience close to home, then,Pope John Paul II's new encyclical On Human Work,should have special meaning to those of us living in anarea of constant immigration.

In this important teaching document, the pope makesseveral noteworthy reflections concerning the immigrantand his plight. What is sometimes forgotten, he points out,is the fact that a person has a right to leave his native land.

Too many Americans who are the heirs of earlierimmigrants have a tendency to wish that these "new"people would stay home. It would be well for those of thisnarrow mentality to listen well to the Holy Father's reflec­tions on this subject. He states quite emphatically, con­cerning emigration in search of work: "Man has the rightto leave his native land for various motives and also theright to return, in order to seek better conditions of lifein another country."

He continues to reflect that this fact is certainly notwithout its difficulties. However the very use of the word"fact" by the pope reemphasizes the right of emigration.

Many in this country would dispute or restrict thisright. It is therefore well for Americans to realize that theHoly Father supports immigrants who seek through theirown labor to better their lives.

The second important human right that the popedefends is that of freedom from exploitation. Clearly,directly and unequivocally he states that immigrants insearch of work must in no way be regarded as presentingan opportunity for financial or social exploitation.

The value of work should be measured by the samestandard for all, uninfluenced by differences in nationality,religion or race. In case this statement was insufficientlyclear, the Holy Father added a powerful reminder to allinvolved in the crass and materialistic social order. Hestated: "The hierarchy of values and the profound meaningof work itself require that capital should be at the serviceof labor and not labor at the service of capital."

In these days of high interest rates, rising unemploy­ment and constant inflation, it is easy for people to ignorethe plight of the immigrant, relegate him to second-classstatus and use him as a whipping post in the market place.

The reflections of the immigrant pope should help usall to reaffirm the mind and spirit expressed in the wordsengraved on the base of the Statue of Liberty.

America should remain the home and hope of thetired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathefree. It should still be the immigrant's dream.

McGRORY

And how will Reagan, withhis penknife on the Pentagon'ssleeve, be received by suchchampions? They will groan abit, but only for the record. The$13 billion frees their hands forthe real action - bigger slasheson the social programs.

They were terribly concernedthat radicals like David Stock­man and White House Chief ofStaff James L. Baker, who havean unfortunate tendency to lookat figures instead of red hob­goblins, might persuade Reaganto do something really wild, likea $20 billion to $30 billion cut.Now that reason has prevailed,they are relieved.

During the suspenseful WhiteHouse meetings where the fateof the big spenders was beingdecided, two friends of the Pen­tagon, Rep. William Dickinson,R-Ala., and Charles Bennett, D­Fla., held a press conferenceunder the auspices of the Coali­tion for Peace through Strength- a 272-member hawk' <:Tub onCapitol Hill. Although Dickinsonhad been shown special consid·eration by Reagan, and had beenflown to the ranch for reasur·ance about some supposedly en­dangered weapons systems, hewas worried that the presidentmight be listening to the wrongvoices.

Dickinson can live with thecuts.

The Democrats are in the pro­cess of deciding that they can,too. They have informally reach­ed the conclusion that there isnothing in it for them to proposea leaner, alternate defense bud­get. They do not need to carrythe added burden of being call­ed "soft on defense" into the1982 campaign. They are inclinedto let the Republicans fight itout among themselves. Thereare people in the GOP who aremindful of their budget-balanc­ing rhetoric and somewhat self­conscious about taking milk frombabies and pittances from SocialSecurity recipients in order toprovide for "the poor relative"- Reagan's term for the Penta­gon.

But as Rep. Schroeder ob­serves from her experience, "Re­publicans talk defense cuts, butthey never vote them."

Politically alld cosmetically,the president is in fine shape. Hewill "win" in Congress. He hastiptoed into the temple of de­fense spending. Unfortunatelyfor him, Wall Street is the onlyaudience that counts. If theStreet says that the $13 billionnick won't do anything to bringdown the high interest rates, hemay have·to go back and take-·a serious whack at the wallets of ­the admirals and the generals. ·It·would go against the grain forhim.

For now, though. he and hisvictims are happy.

When the governmentdepartments line up toclaim their Purple Heartsfor wounds suffered in thebattle of the budget cuts, thePentagon will be there.

Having received only a ritualscratch inflicted by a wincingcommander in chief, it may looka little funny next to agencieswhich have lost arms and legs,but where the Department of'Defense is concerned, RonaldReagan is ready to stretch apoint.

Actually, he only did it tomake a point, which is that allgovernment is making equal sac­rifice for the realization of thepresident's economic goals. Mak­ing a $13 billion reduction inthe rate of rise of the Pentagonspending means that next year,the warriors will have $2 billionless to defend us from the So­viets. Out of a budgeJ:~-Of $1.6trillion over the next five years,it may not seem like much ­but that's only to people whocannot see the threat from a na­tion which has added to its per­fidy, according to our secretaryof state, by using poisonouschemicals in Asia.

Actually, the $13 billion wasa sum proposed by a DemocratChairman Jim Jones of the HouseBudget Committee, and it wasangrily rejected by conserva­tives of both parties.

By certain standards, especial­ly his own, Reagan was extreme­ly brave.

He does not believe for a min­ute that the Pentagon wastesmoney. Only sloppy, civilianagencies like Health and HumanServices and Housing and UrbanDevelopment throw the stuffaround. Cost overruns andlemon-weapons are honest mis­takes, as eompared with the de­liberate fraud perpetrated in be­half of "welfare queens" andother such predators.

The extraordinary thing aboutthe Pentagon in this Congress isthat even waste and fraud havebeen regarded as sacred cows.Take the fate of Rep. PatriciaSchroeder's modest attempt totake $8 billion in documentedwaste (documented by the Gen­eral Accounting Office) out ofthe Pentagon budget - with thesecretary given discretion in thechoice. Only three Republicansout of 62 who had written aletter in May, suggesting that$25 billion could be painlesslyremoved, dared to vote with her.

She was denounced during thedebate of July 16 by outrageddefenders of the Defense Depart­ment for "a cheap, backdoor at­tempt to reduce the authorizationfigure" and for "really going af­ter the national defense of thiscountry." She lost by a marginof almost 2-to-1.

Brook is experimenting with ninecommon species of seaweed tosee which grow best, have thelongest, most stable life cycl~s

and can best be protected againstthe sea animals that use themas food.

The scientists are conductingtheir experiments in a seaweedgreenhouse and in floating raftsalong the coast of Long Island.When they decide which sea­weed species are most feasibleto use, the plans to producemiles of seaweed farms may pro­ceed.

The resulting natural gas couldtake care of a significant per­centage of our national energyneeds, supporters of the sea­weed farms claim.

Because of these possibilities,I think seaweed is one of God'ssurprises. I am fascinated bythe secrets God has hiddenthroughout his creation. I thinkthe Creator knew he could pre­serve wonder and humility inhis creatures this way.

In case anyone needs moreconviction about the Creator'ssurprises, I offer this item froma recent issue of Science Digest:If we gathered all the geneticcoding material responsible fordetermining all the character­istics of each human person onthis earth, it would compress toabout the size of an aspirin.

I remember the late Msgr.John Cass, who spoke about the

elren in the parish school. Thisis the familiar "parish-is-the­school" model of church andthose parents who have beentold they are special for sendingtheir children to the school be­lieve it. Even if only one-thirti­eth of these people have childrenin the school, the school is theallegiance test which, if youpass at some time in your par­ish life, proves you are a goodsupportive parishioner deservingownership.

Natives. Next most commonlandlords are those who werethere first. Everyone else is anewcomer, a 'they,' even though'they' may have been there 25years. These owners are the oneswith the most kin in the parishgraveyard and the original stain­ed glass windows in the church.Therefore, they grant themselvesthe right of eminent domain.They still talk of the good olddays when the founders didn'thave to share the Good Newswith people they didn't know.

Ethnic. German, Italian, Po­lish come next. If you're Irish inan Irish parish, your vote countsmore on the KC ballot. However,if you're Irish in a Polish parish,offer it up. People don't wanttheir First Communicants march­ing with yours. If you're His­panic in L.A., you have moreownership than in most otherplaces because you're almost inthe majority there (however, youmight have a foreign-born Irishpastor, a real possibility in L.A.,and that could change things).

()wnsWhoWhen in a column a

couple of years ago, I men­tioned a good parish, I gota letter that questioned myguidelines for judging a parishbad, mediocre, or good. "What isyour basic criteria?" asked thewriter. "What do you look forfirst?"

That one is easy. The firstmost underlying clue to a parishis who owns it? If there's noclear answer, then a parish haspassed its initial physical and ison its way to good health. If no­body owns the parish, theneverybody does and we call itcommunity. However, lots ofparishes are owned by someoneor some group. Here are themost familiar ones:

Father. By far the most typi­cal parish owner is the pastor.It is his parish, whether "by choiceor delegation. Lots of pastorsdon't want ownership but theirparishioners don't want it either,so it becomes a hot potato. Inother parishes, Father demandsownership as a by-product ofordination and this creates itsown problems, or mystique, asthe canon may be. (In olle parish,I'm told, the housekeeper, as anextension of the pastor, ownedthe parish but only because oflongevity in the parish. Whenshe passed on, as they say inthe sagas, both the parish andFather were liberated to becomea community.)

School parents. The secondmost familiar deed holders arethose who have or had their chil-

Seaweed is often consid­ered a nuisance. and is cer­tainly a big inconveniencewhen it loops around barefeet and slithers between thetoes of people walking along thebeach.

Who would believe that sea­weed may offer an impressive an­swer to our energy prl:Jblems?

According to scientists, farmsof seaweed "planted" along theAtlantic and Pacific coastlinescould offer great potl~ntial forsupplying methane, the principalcomponent of natural gas. Meth­ane can be produced through the"digesting" of vegetabl,e materialincluding seaweed.

To produce natural gas then,we would cultivate seaweedfarms, harvest the crops, digestthem into methane, and pipe thegas through existing gas lines.

Growing seaweed in. quantityhas a side benefit as well. Itcould go a long way towardpurifying the oceans. Some sea­weeds feed on ocean pollution,acting as cleansing agents. Theyoffer the potential, theil, of elim­inating the need to constructsome water treatment plants.

Father Vincent Miceli, a Jesuitfor 40 years and an advocate ofconservative religious and po­litical views, has petitioned tobecome a· priest of the Dioceseof Wichita, Ran., said JesuitFather Thomas Stahel, head ofthe Jesuits' New Orleans pro­vince.

Bishop David M. Maloney ofWichita has said he would ac-

. cept Father Miceli for a trialperiod if that step is apprQv.edby the Jesuit superior generaland the Holy See, "Father Stahelsaid.

Father Miceli, who has taughtphilosophy at Loyola Universityin New Orleans, at the Gregorianand Angelicum Universities inRome and at St. John's Univer­sity in New York City, had beenresiding at Fordham Universityin New York City. When FatherStahel asked him to return to theNew Orleans province, FatherVincent Cooke, New York pro­vincial, informed both FatherStahel and Father Miceli thatFather Miceli no longer had per­mission to remain in the NewYork province.

The Nat~onal Catholic Regis­ter, a national Catholic weeklynewspaper, said Father Micelidecided to leave the Jesuits afterhis superiors imposed a com­mand of public silence on him.

Father Stahel would not com­ment on why Father Miceli isleaving and Father Miceli couldnot be reached for comment.

A Jesuit provincial has the au­thority to order a member not topublish or give public talks. Ifa Jesuit refuses repeatedly toaccept such an order, the provin­cial could recommend to the su­perior general that the man beexpelled from the Jesuits.

Mexico raps priests in politics

MOUNT ANGEL, Ore. (NC) ­Fourteen followers of a once ex­communicated Jesuit, FatherLeonard Feeney, pronouncedvows as Benedictine monks Sept.8, said Abbot Raphael DeSalvo,president of the Swiss AmericanFederation of Benedictine Mon­asteries.

Abbot DeSalvo of New Subi­aco Abbey, Subiaco, Ark., ac­cepted the vows at St. BenedictPriory, Still River, Mass., found­ed while the community wasunder interdict, a church pen­alty forbidding participation inliturgical services and receptionof the sacraments.

The conflict between membersof the community at what wasthen called St. Benedict Centerbegan in the 1940s when thecenter's publication, From theHousetops, proposed an ,interpre­tation of the axiom, "Outsidethe church there is no salvation,"which was stricter than tradi­tional Catholic teaching.

The center persisted in its in­terpretation despite warningsfrom Father Feeney's Jesuitsuperiors and from ArchbishopRichard Cushing of Boston untilchurch officials finally publiclyrejected the position.

Censures on Father ,Feeneywere lifted in 1972 and he diedin 1978. In 1974 most membersof the St. Benedict communitywere reconciled to the church.

A community of religiouS wo­men, also followers of FatherFeeney, who live near the StillRiver priory, made their vowsat the same time as the men.The women are sponsored byStanbrook Abbey in England.

In 1943 Father Feeney was as­signed as chaplain to St. Bene­dict Center, an intellectual andspiritual forum for Harvard andRadcliffe students founded in1940 by Catherine GoddardClarke, who thought the Benedic­tine tradition would attract uni­versity students.

By 1946 Father Feeney had be­gun to form those who cameregularly to the center into areligious community.

Friar GabriEil Gibbs, whomFather Feeney appointed in 1950,said the group has been livingas a religious community since1949. In 1958 the migrated fromHarvard to Still River.

all. Even St. Mary's nursery andkindergarten tots are adept atusing System 80 recording andvideo machines, a sort of pre­computer teaching tool thatfamiliarizes them with the ideaof pushing buttons and insertingcassettes in order to practiceskills. The System 80s have beenin use for two years, said Poyant.

For the future he envisionsadditions to the computer setupthat will enable St. Mary's to re­cord cable TV religion and otherprograms, thus building up avideo library.

As an educator he's enthusi­astic about what St. Mary's newresource will do for the school's350 pupils.

As a father, he's enthusiastictoo. Three of the 350 are hisdaughters: Melissa, 8; Julie, 7;and Laurie, 4.

tero, Carlos Vazquez Rangel, aMason, said that the' church hadno business in criticizing publicpolicies. He told Mexicans thatmost of the state governors andPresident Jose Lopez Portillo areactive Masons. He was support­ed by Luis Marcelino Farias, aleading voice in Congress, andby spokesmen of the CommunistParty. The Mexico City tabloid,U1timas Noticias, editorializedthat Archbishop Girolamo Prig­ione, apostolic delegate, shouldbe expelled.

Mexico has no diplomatic re­lations with the Vatican becauseof prohibitions in the constitu­tion, which was enacted follow­ing a long period of anti-churchlegislation and action that be­gan last century.

Previously, Archbishop Prigi­one and Bishop Genaro Alam­ilia, secretary of the MexicanBishops' Conference', had re­minded priests not to engage inpolitical activities.

MEXICO CITY (NC) - A gov­ernment reminder to the Mexicanhierarchy that the constitutionbans clergy involvement in poli­tics came after recent criticismby bishops of social and econ­omic conditions.

The reminder came from inter­ior Minister Enrique OlivaresSantana, who said the 1917 Mexi- .can constitution forbids "minis­ters of worship" to mix in poli­tics or make political statements.

The official's statement wasmade after criticism of the bish­ops' views by Masons and otherprominent Mexicans.

Archbishop Carlos Quintero ofHermosillo said in a press inter­view at the end of July that thechurch has an obligation to dealwith "serious problems"; dema­goguery in politics, the increas­ing foreign debt, the lack ofpolitical participation by thepeople and corruption in pub·lic administration.

Reacting to Archbishop Quin-

eral parish records and for St.Mary's adult education program.

At present St. Mary's setup. consists of a printer, four student

terminals and a monitor terminalfor teacher use.

The equipment cost camefrom parish and school funds,said Poyant. He noted that be­cause federal grants were notinvolved there will be no re­strictions on using the equipmentfor religious education.

Costs were held down, addedFather Moore, because parishion­ers did much of the work in­volved in partitioning off andpreparing the computer room forits space age occupants.

Some teachers are a little ner­vous of their new assistant, saidthe principal, but most are eager­ly learning how to put it to use.

The children aren't nervous at

Just like the kids, BishopDaniel A. Cronin was fascinatedby the shiny computer terminal,especially when it politely askedhim "Did you have a good ridefrom Fall River?" and "Will youcome again?"

The bishop was on hand lastFriday at St. Mary's School,New Bedford, to bless the firstcomputer learning center in adiocesan grammar school. OnSunday he was joined in his en­thusiasm by St. Mary parishion­ers, who came by the hundredsto inspect the newest addition totheir parish plant.

"It's a necessity," declaredFather John F. Moore, St. Mary'spastor. "Children nowadays needto know computer programmingas much as they need theirABCs."

The children are quick toagree. Principal Dennis Poyantcan hardly sweep them out ofthe computer room when it'stime to lock up the school.

The equipment is being usedinformally at persent, he said,at both ends of the learningspectrum - for remedial workand for enrichment. By the newyear, when St. Mary's teachershave been trained in its use, thecomputers will be integrated intothe regular curriculum.

No matter what a child islearning via computer, Poyantpointed out, he or she is alsolearning to use the machine it­self. Even games played on theterminals teach the equipment'spossibilities. .

They are enormous. Alreadyall the school families are enter­ed on computerized records,available at the flick of a switch,this in addition to a full rangeof grammar school course ma­terial. An attachment providesprintouts of records and can al­so address labels for school mail­ings.

Especially moving were thevisits we made to the newlymowed cemetery where ourgrandparents lie and to ourfather's /youngest brother, now71, and his wife, still living atthe 200-year-old MacGiII home­stead. Patrick, oldest of 11 child­ren, left the then thatched andtwo-room cabin at age 12 for acareer that began with years asa laborer, included fame as awriter and lecturer and conclud­ed with ill health and consequentquiet retirement in the UnitedStates.

Still heated by peat fires as inPatrick's day, the cabin istucked on the side of a hill witha spectacular view of Donegal'sBlue Stack mountains. It is iden­tified by a small plaque as thehome place of Patrick MacGill.

As with nearly every Glentieshome, the MacGiII front doorstands perpetually open, a trib­ute to a countryside where thereis no crime and where even theteenagers speak in shockedtones of what they 'hear goes onin the larger towns to the southof them.

Drug abuse, housebreaks, arm­ed robbery, assaults - none hastouched this enchanted place.

When we reluctantly left Ire­land we took with us a scoop ofsoil from the land surroundingour father's beloved cabin Webrought it· to Fall River and­sprinkled it on his grave in ,St.Patrick's cemetery, where histombstone bears a line from oneof his poems: "The old life failsbut the new life comes."

There was a MacGiII treasurehunt with clues associated withhis books and on a bus tour of"MacGiII !=ountry," we saw thecabin where he was born and theone where he grew up, as wellas the country school where hegained his scant formal educa­tion before leaving at age 10 tobegin fulltime farm work. Therewas even "Ard MacGiII," Gaelicfor MacGiII Heights, a housingdevelopment for the elderly.

We gained an appreciation of. our father's books that couldonly come from seeing the braesand glens, the mountains andsea that formed his young imag­ination. And in the lovely speechrhythms of his people we dis­covered the influences that hadshaped his literary style.

Lectures on various aspectsof his writings were highlightsof the week and we who knewhim as a loving and whimsicalparent saw him with new eyes asa sensitive young poet, a labor­er whose sociological novelsblazed with indignation at theoppression suffered by his peo­ple and a World War I soldierwho wrote of the grandeur andterror of war from the perspec­tive of the man in the trenches.

A play bflsed on scenes fromhis Donegal novels, a parade offloats also drawn from the novelsand a haunting musical arrange­ment of one of his best-knownpoems, "I'm Going Back to Glen­ties," were other peak events ofthe week. Even the celebrant'shomily at Sunday Mass alludedto the festival.

They call it "Ireland of theWelcomes." It's the understate­ment of the century.

What can you say about acountry where your ancestraltown fills the potholes, cleansthe streets, clips the hedgerowsand mows and trims an entirecemetery in honor of your fath­er's memory.. Where customs formalities are

waived and your drive fromShannon airport five hours northto County Donegal is monitoredby the police so those waitingcan know when to expect you.

Where you arrive to flag andbanner-bedecked streets, to dec­orated shop windows and to ahuge and welcoming crowd.

Where for a week of lectures,banquets, plays and parades youwalk in wonderland,. not reallybelieving what's happening..

What you can say is that no,all this doesn't happen to every­one arriving in Ireland for thefirst t:me but that yes, the verysame spirit of welcome envelopsevery visitor as evenhandedly asdo the soft Irish sunshine andthe equally soft rain.

But when it's your good for­tune to be the daughter of Pat­rick MacGiII, an Irish poet, nov­elist and playwright whose na­tive town of Glenties has de­cided to hold a festival in hishonor, ah, nothing seems im­possible, including unprecedent­edly good September weather andthe most glorious rainbow everseen, surely with a pot of goldat either end, had there beentime to investigate.

Time was the only thing lack­ing during that magic week:time to climb the green hillsides,explore the beckoning roadways,spend enough hours with thenew-found relatives.

But what was packed into theweek passes belief. From the mo­ment my sisters, my husbandand I arrived in Glenties untilour unwilling departure, we in­habited a dream.

Not five minutes after our ar­rival we were on a platform lis­tening to appreciations of ourfather's role in immortalizingDonegal and its people. We un­veiled a tablet which. will be hispermanent memorial in Glentiesand then we began the best partof the week - meeting relativeswe had never known and dozensof people who had gone to schoolwith Our father and shared withhim the bitter poverty of turn ofthe century Irish country. dwell­ers.

During the week we apprecia­ted more each day the achieve­ments of the large Glenties com­mittee that had masterminded thePatrick MacGiII festival.

Camp Fire parleys

Lebanon in dire straits, he warns

Scout,Boy and Girl Scouts and

Camp Fire youth were in thenews lately, with Area I mem­bers of the National CatholicCommittee on Scouting meetingat the new Family Life Centerin North Dartmouth and diocesanrepresentatives journeying toPortland Maine for a gatheringof the New England Committeefor Catholic Girls' Organizations.

In North Dartmouth, Scoutleaders discussed religiousaward programs, days of recol­lection, retreats and vocationprograms as well as the roles ofchurch-sponsored troops andchaplain aides in the nationalBoy Scout organization. The gen­eral theme for the two-day meet­ing was "The Scouting Programin Service to the Church."

This challenge was introducedwith opening remarks by BishopDaniel A. Cronin and tbe key­note address of Father MartinBuote, Fall River diocesan direc­tor of Catholic Scouting.

Pointing out that "the churchcan benefit by using the Scout­ing program in her mission ofbringing salvation to mankindand man to God," Father Buotesaid that Scouting filled "thegreatest need of the church" asexpressed by Pope St. Pills X.

That need, said the priest, was"for dedicated lay men and wo­men to be the face, voice, com­passion and presence of Christ toall.

"Now consider what ScouterDevelopment tries to do: Leader­ship, Sanctitity, Commitment.Isn't this directly addressing theneed of the church as perceivedby Pius X. And this idea of com­mitment in the Scouter Develop­ment Program is nothing morethan the Scout oath, law andslogan brought to Catholic ma­turity."-

Specific topics discussed at themeeting included revisions in theParvuli Dei Cub Scout programand practical considerations inplanning retreats and recollec­tion days.

Experiences in such programswere shared by Fathers Herbert

You must talk with your hus­band about child care. Your chil­dren deserve this effort. Theirneeds requ;,re the two of you towork out some mutually accept­able compromise.

You are right. There must be abetter way to make arrange­ments for the children than fight­ing over them. Too often, fight­ing over children leads to laterfighting through them.

Our courts are set up on theanniversary system. The contest­ing parties must marshall theirarguments, hide their strategiesfrom one another and attack theplan of the other party.

WASHINGTON (NC) - TheShroud of Turin is authentic andpoints to the death and resur­rection of Christ, according totwo researchers who have stud­ied the shroud, believed for cen­turies by Christians to beChrist's burial cloth.

In "Verdict on the Shroud,"researchers Kenneth Stevensonand Rev. Gary Habermas com­pare scientifical and archeologi­cal data with the biblical storyof Christ's death and resurrec­tion, concluding that "the shroudis an actual archeological arti­fact and that it is Jesus' burialgarment."

The shroud shows the full im­age of a man who appears tohave been crucified. Initial scien­tific testing indicated that theshroud is about 2,000 years oldand probably came from theMiddle East, but conclusive teststo determine its age have notbeen performed.

Stevenson was spokesman forscientists who have conductedextensive tests on the shroud.

Mr. Habermas is a UnitedBrethren minister who teaches atLiberty Baptist College, Lynch­ville, Va., founded by Rev. JerryFalwell, head of the Moral Ma­jority.

"The scientists on the investi­gating team are unanimous inconcluding that the shroud is anactual archeological artifact,"stated the authors of "Verdict."They cited the "exact anatomicaland pathological data" and theunlikelihood that the shroud,with its details and scorch-likeimage, could have been faked.

According to an article in

Harper's magazine, anothershroud analyst, John Jackson,also 'doubted the' shroud wasfaked. "As for whether the im­age is Christ's, all I can say isthat the wounds are consistentwith the Gospel accounts. Imean this was no ordinary ex­ecution. LOlok at the guy. Some­body really wanted to do him in,not just kiI:l him but torture himto death."

Information gleaned from theshroud backs up the biblical ac­count of Jesus' death and scien­tific probability indicates it IShighly unlikely any other personwas crucifilld in Palestine at thesame time and in the same man­ner as Jesus, the authors wrote.

The shroud shows no signs ofdecomposition of the dead bodyor of blood smears which wouldhave resulted from unwrappingit from thll body in the usualmanner, Stevenson and Mr. Ha­bermas said.

"Then we find that Jesus'dead body most probably pro­duced a heat or light scorch.These point.s, plus the close cor­respondenc.~ to the Gospels andto history on these and relatedissues, all argue strongly forJesus' resurrection," they stated."Although proof is not availablehere, a very probable case forJesus' resurrection has been pro­vided."

Despite their claims, the au­thors also added that "the con­clusion reached in this book isa cautious one. Although theshroud may somehow still turnout to be :inauthentic, we mustdecide on the evidence before us.This evidence indicates that it is

very probably the actual burialgarment of Jesus, an objectwhich gives insights into Jesus'physical death and scientificevidence for his resurrectionfrom the dead."

TRENTON, N.J. (NC) - ANew Jersey adoption bill whichwould open sealed records toboth adopted persons and naturalparents has been criticized bythe New Jersey Catholic Confer­ence.

The bill would allow ain adop­tee, on reaching maturity, or anatural parent to gain access tothe information necesHary totrack down each othl~r. Theadoptive parents would have norights in the situation.

Terry Alfano, program direc­tor for Catholic Charities of theNewark Archdiocese, says that,even without the bill, the con­fidentiality that once markedadoption proceedings is beingviolated.

In some ways, then, there areno outsiders, for there are fewpeople to whom we are not re­lated in some way.

As parishes try to develop asense of community among par­ishioners, therefore, they alsoneed to recognize and supportthe many communities in people'slives. This can be done in manyways.

Some scholars think that he istalking about the knowledge ofGod and the beatific vision. Thisis possible, but there are diffi­culties with this view. For, see­ing God, what need would onehave of the faith and hope whichPaul mentions?

It seems rather that Paul istalking about the Corinthians'imperfect knowledge of what itmeans to be Christian. Thoughhe speaks in the first personsingular, he really is speaking intheir name.

The Corinthians' knowledge isstill immature; they have notyet "put childish ways aside."But Paul is hopeful they willgrow up to know even as theyare known, that their imperfectknowledge will give way to per­fect insights.

But in the case of either inter­pretation, Paul's main point isinescapably clear: Whatevergifts or virtues one may possess,the greatest gift is love, andwithout it one is neither aChristian nor an authentic hu­man being.

for being a Christian: love. .No matter what languages a

person may be, enabled to speak,if that person does not havelove, he or she is like a "noisygong" or a "clanging cymbal"- just noisy. In a full orchestra,the cymbal makes a relativelysmall contribution to the overalleffect.

The same is true of all gifts.It is valueless to submit to im­poverishment and torture forothers if one is not motivated bylove. Most striking and profoundis Paul's remark: "If I have notlove, I am nothing."

This is not a dramatic exag­geration. As far as Paul was con­cerned, love enabled a person tobe. It was for love that Godcreated us.

It is worthy of note that thelove of which Paul speaks is notsome escoteric virtue, but downto-earth human love that express­es itself in everyday manifesta­tions of considerateness, con­cern, sensitivity.

In the final part of Chapter13, Paul zeroes in gradually onthe topic of knowledge. "Nowwe see indistinctly as in a mir-

"Love is patient; love is kind.Love is not jealous, it does notput on airs."

Not surprisingly, the hymn tolove in which those words arefound is one of the most quotedpassages in the writings of Paul.But since it is often heard outof context, its full revelance iseasily overlooked. It is found inChapter 13 of First Corinthians.

Paul has just written about tMspiritual gifts of the Corinthians.In a list of gifts at the end ofChapter 12, the gift of tonguesappears in second to last place.This seems to deliberately down­grade that gift.

Many people ardently desiredto speak in tongues, but for thewrong reason. They knew thegift would capture the amazedattention of others.

Such a motive was diametri­cally opposed to the real reasonfor spiritual gifts and was yetanother sign of the people's im­maturity and egocentricity. Toput the gifts in proper perspec­tive, Paul contrasts them to theonly gift that really counts, theone indispensable requirement

For children

St. Mary's parish.-- II

By Lenore Kelly

When the rectory and officesof St. Mary's parish in Norfolk,Va., were gutted by fire last fall,many neighborhood organiza­tions and churches offered help.For Notre Dame Sister PeggyMcCloy, a former pastoral assis­tant, this was evidence "peoplerecognized St. Mary's contribu­tion to the black community andwanted our work to continue."

St. Mary's is the oldest Cath­olic parish in Virginia and Nor­folk's only black Catholic par­ish. Surrounded by low-incomeapartment complexes and cen­trally located in downtown Nor­folk, St. Mary's is readily ac­cessible to people in need.

"Everyone in the area, Catholicor not, knows that if it is human­ly possible, they will get help at

'St. Mary's," comments longtimeparishioner Helen Rainey. Shecites numerous examples of theopen arms attitude of the parish:

- A woman, distraught be­cause all her keys had beenstolen, rang the rectory doorbell.She was welcomed and given aplace to stay for the night.

- Striking workers in a near­by home for children turned to

IIthe parish for support. Soon par­ishioners joined the picket linesand helped the strikers' familieswith food and money.

- A local Protestant minister,sponsoring the resettlement offive Haitian refugees, requestedhelp. St. Mary's parishioners reosponded with financial aid, hous­ing, transportation and help inobtaining jobs.

"Matthew," a voice brokethrough the noise of the chatter­ing crowd around Matthew'stable.

Matthew kept working, think­ing it was just another impatientmerchant. But the voice cameagain. It was gentle, but strong.There was a feeling of authorityand of caring in that one word,"Matthew."

Matthew looked up. Therestood Jesus of Nazareth. Jesuswas smiling at Matthew.

Matthew had heard aboutJesus. He had seen him on thestreets and had wanted to goand listen to him down by thelake. But he wa.s always so busy.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Continued from page twelvegovernment. Matthew was alocal tax collector for the Ro­mans, one of many in Caper­naum.

Tax collectors were not popu­lar. The Jews hated paying taxesto the Romans who ruled theircountry. They hated even morethose of their own who workedfor the Romans.

Tax collecfors, also called"publicans," sometimes becamevery rich. They not only collect­ed for the Romans. but theycheated the people, chargingmore taxes than ordered andkeeping the extra money.

Most good Jews would havenothing to do with the publi­cans. To be a tax collector wasto be despised by one's fellowcountrymen.

So Matthew, which means"gift of God," was not very popu­lar. They knew him as "Levi,"his Jewish name. Few in Caper­naum, except other collectors,thought of him as God's gift.

As Levi sat this morning re­cording people's taxes, he feltlonely. He felt something wasmissing in his life. He wanted to

friends and families. Whetherwe speak of neighborhood pro­jects, work for political parties,or just keeping the machinery ofbusiness humming smoothly, wemust cooperate with others.

Yet, somehow, this lesson canbe hard. Many people shy awayfrom others, afraid to revealthemselves in all their indecisive­ness or to trust others with theirproblems. Or, without self-confi­dence, they think their prob­lems trivial, unworthy of some­one else's time. And, admiringthe person who apparently makesdecisions alone, they may feelthat only the weak need helpfrom others.

Of course, some decisionsmust be made privately or aloneas families. But there are timeswhen thinking problems throughwith others is the way both tohelp and to be helped in return.

Many emergency requests arechanneled through the parish so·cial ministry committee. Chair­person Winnie Vanns thinks thecommittee's most important con­tribution is its ongoing serviceto the poor and elderly. Withseveral neighboring churches,volunteers staff food and clothesclosets. Once monthly in theparish hall, the committee pro­vides meals and entertainmentfor 50 senior citizens.

Mrs. Vanns believes FatherThomas Quinlan is responsiblefor parish involvement in theneighborhood. She describes himas a compassionate man towhom justice is very important.

When Father Quinlan arrivedsix years ago, he found a congre­gation of 184 black familiesliving in an area of urban decay.Today, parishioners have tripledin number and sport new pridein being black Catholics.

Father Quinlan first identifiesneeds, then seeks ways to help.Several years ago, through theparish council, he encouraged thebuilding of a large hall for meet­ings and social events.

Much of his energy goes intothe two parish schools, whereemphasis is placed on pride inbeing black. Their enrollment of385 children is about 70 percentProtestant.

New this fall were a class for4-year-olds and a program for10-to-14-year-olds educationallybehind their peers.

Coalitions

Continued from page twelveOccasionally members of twin­ning parishes meet socially toget to know each other a littlebetter.

Last winter a parish in theSouth sent money to the Dio­cese of Portland, Maine, to helpfamilies having difficulty meet­ing rising fuel costs.

In some areas, Catholic par­ishes join with Protestant com­munities to celebrate Thanks­giving. Many parishes have con­ducted Seder meals during HolyWeek, often with the help ofthe local rabbi. The Seder is thetraditional Passover meal forthe Jewish community.

Still other parishes form coali­tions with other churchl~s andlocal organizations to improveneighborhood living cond::tions.

And many parishes with avariety of national groups spon­sor special liturgies and activi­ties for each group in additionto the worship that brings thepeople of the entire parish to­gether.

Recognizing the many com­munities people belong to, theseparishes foster the many kindsof solidarity which, as RobertoUnger of Harvard Universityputs it, are charity moving be­yond the circle of intimsicy.

In the first century, contro­versy arose about whether gen­tiles would have to become Jewsin order to become Christians.Did they have to adopt th,e sameculture as the first Christians inorder to be followers of JesusChrist? The first Council ofJerusalem decided for "catholic­ity," for the universallity of thechurch. At every subsequentcrucial point in its histo::y, thechurch rejected exclusiveness.

A parish is not a cult. Parish­ioners are not isolated groups.

SOME CHANGES are unavoid­able. High school or college willend. Friends will change, de­velop new interests, perhapsmove out of our lives. All of usface changes.

But what about changes thatwe initiate? Have you taken anyquiet time lately and just im­agined what you could become?Imagination is the first ingredi­ent in making a change. If wecan imagine how we want tolive our lives, we can begin tosee what changes will be neededto reach our goals.

Such drea.ming and changingtake courage. To climb newmountains means forsaking fami­liar ground. Such decisions re­quire wisdom.

We don't need to changeeverything in life, however. Andwhen we change something, weshouldn't do it in such a waythat we lose what is already goodin our lives.

We can often gain courageand knowledge from each otheras we decide about changes. Aswe reach out for a new goal,we should not be afraid to askothers to support us. We can besources of power. to each other,helping each other become thebest we can be.

Jesus asks for many changesfrom his followers. He asks usto believe· that change is possi­ble. We do not have to acceptthe world just the way it is. Heurged us to recognize the powerof love and the difference itmakes for other people.

How can you bring about newand valuable changes throughlove? Don't underestimate whatyou can do - even the biggestchange begins with someonewho has decided to make theeffort.

SOME CHANGES ARE FOR GOOD

Didn't you ever want to climb

The highest mountain you could find

Didn't you ever want to do it all

Didn't you ever want to do it all

Long ago I heard a voice

Tellin' me I had no 'choice

Take a chance 'cause even if you fall

At least you know you tried to do it all.

Some changes are for good

And this I know for sure

Some things in life are meant to be

Some changes set you free

And free means I can fly

And sometimes say goodbye

I wouldn't hold on if I could

Some changes are for good

Didn't you ever want to feel

Just the part of life that's :reaJ

After all we're dealing with the truth here

Isn't it the truth we're goin' for

If somewhere along the line

Your dreams are lyin' close to mine

Maybe you and I could have it all

Maybe you and I could have it all

Parents

THE ANCHOR­Thurs., October 8, 1981

By. Cecilia Belanger

14

Parents who are trying veryhard to understand their child­ren often throw up their handsas if in defeat. They have doneeverything humanly possible,yet critical problems persist.

I would like to say to thoseyouth whose parents want them,Jove them and sacrifice willinglyfor them that now is the timefor appreciation of those parents,not when it's too late. Take agood look at them now and seethem for the wonderful humanbeings they are. .

Your role models can be underyour own roof! Don't resent dis­cipline that is fair and adminis­tered with kindness and love.You'll thank your parents laterfor it. Have fun with your par­ents, laugh with them, holdthem close, shape up for themand for yourself most of all.

One: of the nicest things I'veever heard a youth say was"When I'm sitting with my par­ents, sharing soda and home­made cookies and just talkingabout whatever comes to mind,I suddenly feel very close toGod. I look at my mother andfather's faces and I have to tumaway as the tears well up in myeyes, feel such love for them."

The answer to all family prob­lems lies within God's bosomand it's there we should be gravi­tating. Its never too late to re­turn to God and his teachings.It is his word that dispels thedarkness when it gathers aroundthe heart.

There is no quick fix for ourproblems, no philosopher's stonewhich destroys the unpleasantthings in life, but there is balm inthose precious gems we find scat­tered throughout the New Testa­ment. The truth, purity and beau­ty of Christ's word reach everyman and w,oman of conscience.People have attested that hisword has allayed their pain, bothphysical and mental.

The special pain of families indisarray touches us all. The in­sult to their dignity touches usall. The runaway child, the par­ent waiting at home, thesethings cast a pall over our so­ciety. The situation is complica­ted because the values of par­ents and children differ and so­ciety continually faces the prob­lem of coordinating the best ofthose values.

This is a tangled skein and itwill take a long time to unravel.When it has been achieved, how­ever, our society will have beenenhanced a hundredfold.

VATICAN CITY (NC) - PopeJohn Paul II has named CardinalJames Robert Knox, prefect ofthe Vatican's Congregation forSacraments and Divine Worship,president of the new PontificalCouncil for the Family.

The Vatican said CardinalKnox, a 67-year-old native ofBayswater, Australia, would con­tinue to head the sacramentscongregation on an interim bas­sis.

The pope also appointed thecouncil's secretary and a presi­dential committee of bishops toassist the president.

Bishop Francisco Jose CoxHuneeus of Chillan, Chile, wasnamed secretary of the pounciland an automatic member of thepresidential committee.

The committee also includesIndian Archbishop Simon Lour­dusamy, secretary of the Vati­can's Congregation for the Evan­gelization of Peoples; BishopKazimierz Majdanski of Szcze-cin-Kamien, Poland; retiredArchbishop Raymond-MarieTchidimboof Conakry, Guinea;and retired Bishop Edouard Gag­non of S1. Paul, Alberta.

The council was created undera motu proprio, a papal docu­ment, released at the VaticanMay 14. The pope had intendedto announce the decision at theend of his May 13 general audi­ence but was shot and woundedin St. Peter's Square on his wayto the audience platform.

The motu proprio describedthe task of the new council as"the promotion of pastoral careof the family and the familyapostolate, applying the teach­ings and mind of the churchmagisterium (teaching authority),so that Christian families mayfulfill their educational, evan­gelizing and apostolic mission."
