Religious call for return to roots By Jerry FUteau

WASHINGTON (NC) Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco defended diversity June 1 before a national organ­ization of religious, many of whose members question whether there is not too much departure from essentials in religious life.

Archbishop Quinn, who heads a papal commission to study re­ligious in the United States, spoke at the opening session of the national meeting of the In­stitute on Religious Life.

a document addressed to U.S. religious, "Essential Elements of Religious Life." It was issued by the Vatican last year when the Quinn commission was appoint­ed.

She suggested to the arch­bishop that "the majority of .(U.S.) religious do not consider 'Essential Elements' to be es­sential." '

"I don't have the same im­pression," Archbishop Quinn re­sponded.

"The Holy Father in his letter (estal>lishiiig the commission) said that the essential elements

are lived in different ways in different institutes -(religious orders)," he said. The pope also said that they are .Jived in differ­ent ways "in different cultures," he added.

Jesuit Father John Hardon, another speaker, asked Arch­bishop Quinn whether "one of the main reasons" behind the papally mandated study "-is that so many institutes have 'de facto, departed from 'Essential Elements.' ..

Ireland gives Reagan mixed recep'tion 'By NC News service

During his June 1·4 trip to Ireland, President Reagan de­nounced the Soviet Union but cal1ed for dialogue with .ft, urged peace in Northern Ireland and visited what was said to be his forefathers' hometown.

While some Irish citizens dem­onstrated against him, others gave hJm an exuberant welcome.

The president, in a ta,lk strong­ly app\auded by the Irish Parlia­ment ip Dublin June 4, but boy­cotted by 20 members, urged the U.S. and t~e Soviet Union to en­

gage in "greater dialogue" to promote peace.

He said that ,the U.S. is will­ing to stop or even reverse de­ployment of medium-range mis­siles in Europe if the Soviets ~nd

U.S. reach accord on ,arms ~on­trol.

Two days earlier, in a speech at University Col1ege, Galway, where he received an honorary degree" ~eagan had described the Soviet Union as "an enor­mously powerful adversary,"

The speech was boycotted by some university faculty members

and some students burned their diplomas ·in protest.

Bishop Eamonn Casey of Gal­way, chairman of Trocaire, an Irish relief agency, also boy­cotted the ceremony because he opposes U.S. policy in Central America.

Ireland has sent many mission­aries to Central America and Bishop Casey has visited the re­'gion several times.

Opposition to Reagan's poli­cies in CentraI America and on nuclear weapons marked the

president's visit to other sites as well. '

Some 70 priests and nuns be­gan a fast June 1 to protest the visit.

Before the visit, some Irish priests had publicly criticized U.S. foreign policy, and the Irish Conference of Major Religious Superiors said it welcomed Rea­gan but was repulsed by various aspects of his foreign policy.

Protesters in various cities in­cluded Catholic nuns and monks, middle-aged parents with young children, leftists, Communists,

students, homosexual rights acti­vists, antinuclear weapons groups and others opposed to one or another aspect of U.S. foreign policy.

The number of protesters was pegged at about 1,000 in Gal-' way, 400 in Ballyporeen, believed the home of Reagan ancestors, and 5,000 in Dublin, where 100 priests and nuns led marchers.

In Galway, the president ad­dressed an audience of 500 while his visit to Bal1yporeen drew some 3,000 spectmtors.

He admitted that some religious are opposing church norms, "but that is not the great, large body." The vast majority of some 150,000 U.S. religious is "very devoted to the church," he said. .

"I do not ever want to skirt problem~," he said, but added that he did not feel that the pri­mary purpose of the papally mandated study was to root out and suppress deviations. "I don't think the Holy Father wants us to go ,that way; it's not the way I want to live."

While he'acknowledging prob­lems among U.S, Religious, Archbishop Quinn's approach stood in sharp contrast to that taken June 3 by Mother Long, who deolared that "for almost a fourth of a century we have been in a cycle of decline - the sap has run dry . . . The entire Western world is aWlU'e of the phenomenon of disintegration of religious houses: cloisters aban­doned or transformed into secu­lar domiciles in secular cities, confrontations, contestations and dissent."

Referring to recent decades of experimentation and confusion as "the worst of times," Mother Long said that now "the ambigui­ties are gone. The question that religious must answer today is, 'To be or not to ,be.' "

In a speech June 2, Archbishop Rosalio Castillo Lara, head of the Pontifical Commission for the Authentic Interpretation of the Code of Canon Law, outlined

what the new Code of Canon Law says regarding the public, ecclesi­al nature of consecrated Hfe in religious orders.

He said that while "religious me is not dn ,the same level as the church's hierarchial struc­ture . . . it is nonetheless essen­tial" to the life of the church.

Archbishop Castillo Lara cited ,the new code to show that whHe the church respects each religious institute's "charismatic original­ity" and automony, "true auto­mony" of religious orders is not "absolute independence," because religious consecration is a "pub­lic witness" in the name of and within the church.

Father James O'Connor, theo­logy professor at the New York archdiocesan semin~ry in Dun· woodie, N.Y., caUed for a return to a more traditional theology of the church in a speech follow­ing Archbishop CastiHo Lara's address.

He said that a single book, Jesuit Father Avery Dulles' "Models of the Church," has shaped the way American Cath· olics think about the church to· day. This in turn has shaped thinking about religious life be· cause life is ~o fundamentaHy and ecclesial reality, he said.

While not directly criticizing Father Dulles' theology, Father O'Connor said that in fact peo­ple have used the various models for "polemics and slogans" to attack other people's under­standings of the church. . As an alternative he suggest­ed "a return ,to an older, more traditional ecclesiology" ,that focuse~ on the four notes or marks of the church, "one, holy, catholic and apostolic."

Reagan's roots Continued from page one

On' the iS$1e of Northern Ire­land, Reagan, in Galway, praised ·university president Colm 0' ­Heacha, chairman of the New Ireland Forum, which has push­ed for peaceful settlement of the Northern Irish conflict.

The president also blasted Irish~

American support for the Irish Republican Army, a terrorist 'group which claimed responsibil­ity for the June 3 and 4 murders of two men in Northern Ireland.

Reagan's father was Catholic but the future president was raised in his mother's denomina­tion, the Disciples of Christ.

In BaHyporeen, the president and his wife Nancy attended a religious serVice in the Church of the Assumption and viewed a registry book said to record the bapti"sm Sept. 3, 1829, of his great-grandfather Michael Re­gan. (The name was later speli­ed Reagan.) Some who have seen the book, however, said that the notation is difficult to read and may record the baptism of a "Ryan," not a "Regan."

The interior of the stone church, like walls around town, had been repainted for Reagan's visit. o Presidential speeches bowed to Irish spirituality. In Ballypor­een, 'Reagan said the visit to his

ancestors' town and church had "given my soul a new content­ment." In Galway, he praised the efforts of St. Brendan, said to have journeyed as a mission­ary to America before Columbus, and the work of Irish monastic scholars.

INS sweeps rapped

Wndated) (NC)' - The su­preme Court's April 17 decision to aHow sweeping Immigration and Naturalization Service searches of factories for illegal aliens makes Hispamcs targets of discrimination, said a bishop and several other Catholic offi~ cials familiar with INS raids. Bishop Roger M. Mahony of Stockton, Calif., said the court's majority opinion "portrays the most idealistic scenario. Raids are portrayed as informal, friend­.jy walk-throughs. In my experi­ence that is not the case - uni­formed officers block the doors, sometimes guns are drawn, peo­-pIe panic," he told NC News. In its 7-2 decision, the high court said searches in which agents block the exits do not violate privacy rights guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment to the Con­stitution.

3 Paradoxical

to reject schools

WASHINGTON (NC) - The' paradox of modern libera,l society is that it cannot accept Catholic schools, the vehicle of progressive C~tholic teaching, Sen. Dailiel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., said at the second Seton­Neumann lecture in Washington.

The recent lecture was spon­sored by the U.S. Catholic Con­ference Department of Educa­tion and the bishops' Committee on Education.

Moynihan said that although existence of church-related schools "contcibutes to freedom and pluralism" and Catholic edu­cation helps poor and minority students, it is considered the mark of a liberal to be opposed to aid to Catholic schools.

"Catholic tradition has proved a lively, and generally speaking, rewarding source of argument and conviction in the effort to promote. progressive social change - which is the great legacy of classical :Hberalism and the object of contemporary lib­eralism," he said.

Moynihan has urged aid to Catholic schools since the ear-Iy 1960s. In 1977 he was co-spon­sor of a bill to give tax credits to parents for part of the tuition they pay to non-public schools. 'f.uition tax credit legislation has been introduced many times since but never passed.

In ,the history of the United States, Cathol:ic schools have been seen first as inferior and then as eJitist, 'l\1oynihan said. But a 1981 study on "Public and Private Schools" by sociologist James Coleman found that "the Catholic schools are closer to the American ideal of educating ~ll alike" than the public schools.

"It has emerged that the de­spised Cathilic school has come closest to the great liberal AJn­erican ideal," Moynihan said. But "the dog didn't .bark . • . nothing changed in the Jitany of charges" against Catholic schools.

At a time when there has been an outcry about the condition of public schools in America, "here we had schools that did what everyone wished to happen at one~third the cost" and nothing happened to aid them, he said.

themoorin~ A Plea for Support

: It is becoming more and more evident that media bombardment has dulled the senses and sensitivities of. many Americans. Th~' accumulation of terror and horror constantly put before us by the news media has lulled our ,minds into a lethargic acceptance of' cruelty and brutality. Seemingly it takes ever more. terrible acts of barbarism and savagery to shock us into awareness. This moral listlessness and ethical sluggishness are evidenced in our lack of care and concern for the terrible agony of Lebanon.

Most Americans are just tired of hearing about the , Middle East. When American troops withdrew from Leb­anon, so too did much of our awareness of the terrible plight

'

of the Lebanese. Including the recent turmoil in the Persian GUlf, we tend to regard all the fires and factions in that part of the world as one huge chaotic tangle. Yet our brothers and sisters in the faith in the Middle East and especially in Lebanon have very special problems.

Recently, the need to be attuned to the suffering of the Lebanese was given special attention by our Holy Father. In an apostolic letter to all bishops, he asked that they keep concern for that troubled land alive' in their prayers

, and those of their flocks. The letter, directed also to the Lebanese people, was intended to reaffirm the pope's per~

sonal confidence in Lebanon and its citizens and to ask all the church through the bishops to "reflect on the drama of a people that has too lon~ suffered from violence."

In other words, the Holy Father wants the entire church to realize the very special interest it should have in the trials of Lebanon. He clearly states that we must be united in a special way with our brothers and sist~rs of the faith who are suffering and,dying. ,

"They must know," he states, "that we are spiritually sharing their lot with the awareness of our belonging to the one same family:"

A point that should be noted is that the Christian com­munities of Lebanon are overwhelmingly a minority people.' The pope emphasizes the fundamental importance of safe­guarding the Eastern churches; the cradle of our faith, to which we all are indebted. 'The church in the tortured Middle East must be able to count on the moral and spiritual . support of all Catholicism.

Then, hitting the heart of the current condition as he so often does, the pope asks the faithful not to succumb to a listless .spirit or a dulled mind. "May no one yield to fatigue but may everyone be disposed to continue to help Lebanon to rediscover its original physiognomy." ,

These words of the Holy Father should help us realize our important role in helping the Lebanese rebuild their nation. In so doing we safeguard th~ historic Eastern. churches so vital to the entire church. Because they are minorities, even here in our community where there is such a vital Lebanese.presence, we tend to view them as different or separate. . , " But our Lebanese neighbors here at home must realize

that we not only are aware of the sufferings of their relatives, families and friends in Lebanon but also that we of the Roman rite have a special affection for our brothers ,and sisters of the Eastern rites and specifically here the Maron­ites.

Such support is needed throughout the church, that all together may have the courage and faith to conquer the darkness. The Lebanese people have long suffered trials and uncertainty. They have indeed the right to our support.

'The Spirit goeth forward surveying'all.' Ecce. 1:6

Contemporary confusion By Father Kevin J. Harrington

When I enter a restaurant at night I often find the darkness annoying at first; but in a little while my pupils adjust.

Similarly, if someone from ages past walked into our con­temporary world, I am sure. he or she would be blinded by its moral darkness.

Perhaps our consciences have adjusted like our pupils so that we pave come not only to toler­ate but to condone the darkness.

The most serious by-product. of this moral confusion is the undermining of collective moral outrage. The' battlecry: "Don't' legislate morality!" has become commOn among the naive. How anyone can say this with, a straight face is beyond me!

Our !laws were not evolved in a value-tree incubator. They are a reflection of our coIlectively agreed-on attitude towards of­fenses seen as universally detri­mental to the common good: That common good is so tied to the Judeo-Christian ethical sys­tem that the attempt to derive -law from an ethical system based upon pure reason seems fruit­less. .

Indeed, any effort to relegate religious belief to the status of a mere motivational help in the effort to abide by a universally

< proclaimed ethical system is counterproductive. ' -

When human reason is made

able of great elasticity and of accomodating almost any evil imaginable.

There should be liUle wonder that those who uphold traditional values are referred to as ar· chaic, even as biblical. The ar­rogance of this generation is outdone only by its naivete. '

The laws -of God encoded in our legal system reflect a true view of mankind as universaUy sinful, not as inherently perfect.

One cannot reduce morality to feelings without at. the same time reducing mankind to its most vulnerable state. R!i!alistic­ally, it should be recognized that ,the impulse to love freely is frequently threatened by temp­tation to one or another of the seven cardinal sins.

Our blindness to this makes it all the more dangerous. Focus. ing on the cardinal sin of avarice or greed may b~ illustrative. ,

Jesus was well aware of its destructive' power when he warned his disciples that it was as hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God as it was for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.

One translation weakens this analogy by saying that Jesus was referring to a smaIl gate in Jerusalem caIled the eye of a needle. However, most Scrip. ture scholars translate camel as cable, maintaining the impossi­bHity of the action while pro­viding a strong image. In order

to be frayed away, until no more than a single tread remained. Such disintegration is what hap­pens to a person possessed by his possessions.

Too' often, the means of se· curing wealth are sinful. Once' acquired, possessions too often become the means of committing every sin under the sun.

Even if we are fortunate enough to acquire wealth with. out sinning and use our belong. ings in a non-sinful "'manner, they can still distract us f'I'om loving anyone but ourselves. The all-too-common tragedy is that pos~sions consume our souls and we 'find ourselves alone.

This is reminiscent of Thtan· khamen's treasures. That king of ancient Egypt was sealed with his riches for centuries in a dark and ail'less tomb. When it was opened, that which glittered was his gold and material treas­ures while that which deeom­posed was his body.

What an utter contrast to the King of Glory, whose empty tomb becomes a testimony that human beings are more precious than things valued by the avari· douse

King Tht was not the center ' of attraction. The lifeless objects

that surrounded him drew at­tention while he became the rope torn to a single thread.

If we look at ourselves, can we deny that this image too often reflects ourselves. No

heans of your faithful, and en­kindle in us the fire of your love. Make us, mold us, into a family exploding with LIFE!, Amen.

SOMETH.ING TO THINK ABOUT

Pentecost is the day the Spirit comes in fire and wind. It didn't just happen all those years ago but continues daily. When we see Christ's love and are fBled with it, we become immersed in the life of the Spirit. It is a glow­,ing, Hvingthing that must shine forth and must act.

ACTIVITY TIME Young Family

Drama Time. Materials: peo­ple, costumes (optional). Assign parts to all the family and then act out the story of the apostles in the Upper Room on Pentecost.

I sat in a classroom last summer and listened to a fascinating lecture on family dynamics but as I furiously scribbled notes, I was distracted by the even more fasci~ating dy­namic going on in the group of adults surrounding me.

Here were 52 adults ranging in age from early 20s to late 50s, lay, religious and clergy, repre­senting 25 states, Canada, Aus­tralia and Ireland, well into their third week of a unique master­degreed program in FamHy Min­istry and Adult Religious Educa­tion at Regis College in Denver. Such a microcosmic group was unlikely even 10 years ago.

At least two-thirds were 'laity, many who had travelled with their children to spend three or six weeks in Colorado, parents learning and children enjoying mountain and summer !eisure activities. The remainder-were singles, religious and clergy. Later in the summer when I came back to teach the group, I real­ized this program represents a vision being fleshed out in our church.

Into its second year, it models what we hoped for when we spoke of ,leadership training in the 1979 Pastoral Plan of Family Action. Then we glimpsed that any effective leadership training in family ministry or adult reli­gious education must be geared to: 1. the practical needs of full­time working adults; 2. families with children; 3. couples who want to study together; and 4. singles,' ~eligious and clergy who want toJ>roaden their experience of familf and laity while learn­ing alongside them.

And experience family me they

After the play take turns sharing how each imagines the different apostles felt. Then try to think of ways in which the Spirit is a part of our daily lives and also present ~n the life of the Church today. Make a Ust of 7 of them and put it on the refrigerator for ,the coming week before Pente­cost Sunday.

Summ·er school do, living together in dormitory style. One priest told me of his colHsion with a Big Wheet man­ned by a 3-year-old as he step­ped outside his door at 6 a.m. "I didn't know kids got up that early," he said ruefully as he rubbed a bruised shin. And the parents of that budding cyclist know that clergy, religious, and singles are human, with family needs and' gifts. By the second week, kids were going to the celibates as easily as to their parents to settle squabbles and kiss boo-boos.

But aside from the experience of learning to appreciate one an­other in new ways, these adults were preparing for parish and diocesan aeadership. through a rigorous 9 to 4 schedule of theo­logy, sociology, psychology. adult education and management science - while theR' children enjoyed day care free of charge. What they had in common was the realization that the future of the family, church and society requires an emphasis, on vital community dife.

Naijonally recognized resource facilitators assist' Dr. David Thomas, designer and director of the program, in presenting sessions packed with theological insights and practical skills. Par­ticipants can break ·their nine weeks on campus into a six­week segment one summer with a three-week segment the follow­ing or they can spread at over three summers, each with a three­week residency.

family Dear Dr. Kenny: I will be

getting married this summer to a wonderful woman. Our problem is that she has a 5­year-old daughter, Jana, who is beginning to show some signs of feeling left out. -

During the two years we have dated, I have come to love this chUd as my own. I plan to adopt her legally as soon as we are married.

However, right now she seems to resent the time her mother and I spend together. She enjoys being with either of us alone, but she' just doesn't like to see us go off together. We plan to include her as ring bearer in the wedding. Any other suggestions? (Indiana)

You sound like a wise and kind man, anticipating problems your child might have. I hear so much today about how children inter­fere with ,the happiness of adults. When engaged couples have chil­dren from a previous marriage, they are often advised, " Re­member, you are only marrying

_each other, not the whole fam­ily."

While there is some truth in the above advice, I feel it is rather naive, especially when young children ~e concerned. Of course, you are not marrying the entire family. Nevertheless, you are establishing a significant and permanent relationship with all your spouse's relativt!s. To be concerned right now about Jana's feelings is a good beginning to your new career as a father.

First of all, you need to accept the fact that Jana is upset. While she is gaining a father, she is also getting competition for the attention of her mother. She will need time to adjust to this new situation. Human beings of aU ages resist change.

Understand that Jana is 'Upset but don't let her cause you t~ feel ,guilty about ,being alone to­gether. You and your fiance/wife need time with each other. Jana will have \0 learn to accept this. She must learn that she cannot separate you.

Begin now to reach out to Jana as a couple. Take her places with you, ,to zoos, museums, movies and dinners out. Let her learn that your ~ove for each other only multiplies your love for her and that your mutual af­fection is not a threat.

You write that she will be the ring bearer at your wedding. Why not give iher a more impor­tant part? After all, you are tak­ing her as your child forever. I think it would be wonderful to express this fact in a religious ceremony.

Violets Dear Editor:

When I was a young girl romping through fields and woodland paths covered with lavender violets, I used to dream of suitors bringing me bouquets of these lovely blooms.

They 'seemed like gifts from God - a testimony to his pres­ence and love. No human hand could have sown so many plants deep in uninhabited woodsl

Now another spring is here and God's purple gifts have

burst forth upon the paths and gardens, I remember the days gone by and again stoop to gather bouquets. Violets seem to penetrate barren ground, shout­ing to the world that God lind love live everywhere. They re­mind me that even when love seems lost, with sunshine and God's love it can bloom.

Recollections of my chi'ldhood fantasies woven around violets have often made me smile. Yet the dreams of a little country girl have come true.

DC priests WASHINGTON (NC) - Many

Washington-area priests carry clergy identification cards as a result of a man posing as· a priest after the 1982 Air Plorida crash in Washington;

The Washington archdiocese began the voluntaTY program after a bogus priest appeared on the scene foHowing a 1982 air disaster and gained access to relatives of the victims, osten­sibly to comfort them.

He was shown on local tele­vision and was recognized as an escaped convict with a history of shoWing up at disaster scenes, where he would gain the confi­dence of bereaved relatives and later burglarize their homes.

The man was later caught and retul11ed to prison. But Father R. Joseph Dooley, chaplain of the Catholic Police and Fireman's Society, said the incident show­ed a need for clergy identifica­tion cards.

Father Dooley had also been at the scene of the disaster, in which a plane taking off from National . Airport in a he~yy

After consultations with arch­diocesan officia-ls and the priests senate, Father Dooley began the clergy identification program in October 1982. To date 251 dioce­san priests and 35 religious have obtained the cards.

Father Thomas A. Kane, arch­diocesan secretary for Clergy and men religious, said that the cards simplify the priests' access to

' many people.

Noting that many apartments and residences now have security systems, he said that the high number of priests who have asked for the cards "would in­dicate they have a very practical use for them."

.month. Father Costa was the delegate

of the Fall River diocesan Priests' Council· to the meeting.

At -the four-day gathering, over 200 participants were .told

· by the outgoing NFPC president that the new Code of Canon Law has increased the importance of priests councils.

At general sessions and small­group meetings the priests dis­cussed the importance of the sacraments, voted in a wide

. range of resolutions and elected Father Richard Hynes of New-' ark, N.J., as NFPC president for the next two yeaI'.

Several resolutions were re­lated to the U.S. bishops' peace pastoral.

By unanimous vote members urge<:l U.S. priests to promote observance of a national day of reconci}.iation on Aug. 6, the 40th anniversary of the atomic

·destruction of Hiroshima. Delegates also backed the U.S.

bishops' _call for the establish­ment of a U.s. Academy of ·Peace. They voted to ask the bishops to consider setting up a national "anns watch panel" to monitor U.S. defense policies and actions.

In his presidential address Father Johnson, a priest of the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese,

. clarified the role of priests' counci·ls under the new Code of Canol). Law.

Those who compla,in that under the code councils are "merely consultative" have "missed what consultation is all about," he said. He said under the·· new code councils play an integral part in both developing . and . implementing diocesan policy.

In :dditiori, he said, the new code has increased the impor­tance of councils by mandating their establishment in. every dio­

In other resolutions, delegates supported for the right of peo­ple to engage in nonvIolent re­sistance ·towar and the weapons of war, and they urged priests' councils to set lip programs of pastoral ministry to those im­prisoned for such resistance.

The priests unanimously back­ed two resolutions opposing U.S. Central American policy. One opposed U.S. military appropria­tions for Central America, the other U.S. refusal to grant poli­tical asylum to Central Ameri­can refugees. The latter. also supported "people of conscience" in the United States who are il­legaHy harboring such ref~gees.

Other resolutions: an dthe vote on them:

- Sought new norms to re­turn laicized priests to active ministry (95-18) and called for changes to ease the current pro­cess of laicization (unanimous):

- Backed a call by diocesan religious education directors for a Vatican-U.S. church dialogue on criteria for church approval of Catholic books in light of

- Urged the U.S. bishops to seek suspension of current U.S. norms for the selection of bish­ops and to develop new norms that would give priests and peo­ple more voice in the choice of bishops (112-2);

- Asked the U.S. bishops to study the possibility of setting a Single national norm for the age of confirmation to eliminate diff-i­culties which now arise when Catholic families move from one diocese to another (76-21);

- Decided to serve as a clear­inghouse for data on the grow­ing shortage of priests in the country (unanimous) and on dio­cesan criteria for opening, clos­ing and consolidating p8l'ishes in light of the priest shortage and other factors (also unanimous);

Father Hynes, the new NFPC president, is 37 and was released from diocesan duties a year ago to serve as NFPC director of pro­grams at the federation's na­tional offices in Chicago. Before that he was director of con­tinuing education of priests in the Newark Archdiocese.

By Rev. Mr. McLaughlin In 1977, after much thought,

I changed the foous of my ca­reer from that of laboratory re­search to pastoral ministry. In the autumn.of 1977 I took the first steps towards becoming a member of the Holy Cross Con­

.gregation, an international com­munity of men and women pri­marily involved in education and allied services in Europe, North America, Central and South America, Africa, India, Bangla­desh, etc.

Since then I have actively pur­sued this career, the focus of which, for me, is an attempt at making our wor.ld a more decent and livable .place for all peoples, especially the materialoly de­prived. And so, my interests in this work of service are essen­tially sociopolitical and structur­al.

Presently I serve on a team of four in administering and lead­ing a community of approximate­ly 4,000 people in the tradi­,tional activ.ities of a parish.

Beyond these activities, how­ever, I understand my .role in the parish community as that of an initiator, one who Ifallies the people to serv,ice outside the cQmmunity.

In this a humble though sig­nificant groundwork is being es­tablished for service to people far removed from the parish: shelter for the deinstitutional­dzed, food for the new poor,

, fundraising for centers .for the homeless, the donely and the hungry.

My other job as an alcoholism counselor and director of the Antabuse Clinic at the Brock­ton Alcohol Interwntion 'Center allows me to link the needs of street people - most of our clients are middle to late stage street aIcoholics from the metro­politan Boston area - with the resources of the parish whose socioeconomic makeup is upper­middle olass.

In addition my position as a church minister has allowed me to approach other groups, church, business, legal, for aid in delivering services and ma­terials to the needy.

My background, training and work before July of 1977 were ,in the area of molecular biology. As a graduate student at the Slate University of New York, I studied a thyroid enzyme and for my master's thesis undertook a biophysical investigation of a recently reported algae-type virus, discovering that some of, Us hosts are the most radiation­:resistant organisms so far re­ported.

Later research in viral and bacterial genetics at The Institute~ for Cancer Research in Phila­delphia was directed towards an understanding of the assembly of complex biological systems.

In short, the two burning in­

terests of my life are science and social ethics. .By nature I am inquisitive and fascinated with the mystery of nature, and because I apprOach this mys­tery and chaHenge analytically and rationally, I love science and the scientific method;·. but, though I. tend to organize and construct systems of ideas, this is not enough.

More than anything I would like to see our communities, lOcal, national and international, moving towards making our societies ones which better re­f.lect the potential goodness in­herent in the human o'rder, and this for all, especially the under­served.

The contel1t of my hope is con­crete.and material. There are dis­eases to conquer, children to be fed, health risks to be assessed.

And this goal of health for all requires organization of people, education, allocation of Hmited goods and resources, complica­ted and hard decisions to be made, sociai analysis.

The area of pubHc health al­lows me to pull together the love of science and social ethics in a practical and concrete way. My background and interests are broad and diverse, and this, I believe, is an important asset in the demand for public health workers to be broadly trained and skilled in a growing range of scientific disciplines.

Trappists meet at Holyoke \

HOLYOKE, Mass. (NC) - The Trappist order has provision­ally adopted a new constitution that formalizes many lifestyle changes the group has made. over the last 15 years.

The order will live under the constitution for three years be­fore giving it a final ,:,ote.

More than 100 members of the contemplative order recently held a general chapter at Mont Marie Conference center in Holyoke. It was the first chap­ter of the 86-year-old order to be held outside Europe.

The meeting produced one actual and 'one potential change in the way the order elects deaders. Participants voted to eliminate the position of abbot vicar, traditionally a stepping stone to becoming abbot general and also indicated they would allow Trappist nuns ,to vote for abbot general if approved by the Vatican. -

One abbot general presides over both male' Trappists and Trappistine nuns.

"What the constitution has done is to embody the experi­me,ntation going. on in the last 15 years," said Father Placid McSweeney of St. Joseph's Ab­bey, Spencer, Mass., a retreat center visited by many members of the FaH River diocese.

The Trappist life, while stiU .austere, has changed since the Second Vatican Council.' The most important adjustment was the 1969 decision to modify the Trappist rule· of silence under which sign language was used for ordinary communications.

Most, ~bbeys now permit speaking for essential communi­cation to do with community business or work ~ing dOne.

Press reports at the beginning of the 'chapter meeting had said that the male Trappists 'were considering let~ing the nuns vote at the chapter itself, but Father MCSweeney said those reports were incorrect.

"It's a non-issue. The nuns have their own chapter and they have' full authority in their own order. They were present at our chapter because thtly will have to do their own constitutions; they were not being deprived of anything," he said. , The 1987 chapter will prob­

ably be held in Spain, Father McSweeney said.

There are' more than 3,000 Trappist monks and 1,300 nuns throughout the world.

In the United States there are 12 communities of monks with 569 members and three com­munities of women with 79 mem­bers.

Both men and women observe a strict lifestyle that inoludes waking at 3 a.m. The Trappists, formally caHed'the Order of Cis­tercians of the Strict Observance, stems from a - 17th-century re­fomi of the Cistercians, an order founded in 1098 in Citeaux, France. The name "Trappist" comes from La Trappe, France, the center of the reform.

Delegates to the ,last general chapter three years ago in Rome decided to meet in Holyoke be­cause the growing order now has as many monasteries outside Europe as on the ·continent.

Last year St. Joseph's Abbey reported eight novices and said ·that more than 250 people had called in the previous year to inquire about joining the com· munity.

Julia) Martin, 93, of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary died May 10 in Los Angeles.

A Fall River native, daughter of the late Hugh and Julia (Con­boy) Martin, she was a member of Immaculate .Conception par­ish in the city. .

what you are missing? There's so much life, the song

seems to suggest. Don't give it up.

Whatever the song intends to communicate, it does make you think about Christian moral choices.

People sometimes pressure us to back off from what we think is right. Whether it is making choices about seJGIal relation­ships, as the song suggests, or other areas of life, there will be times when others encourage us to give up our values.

How can we handle that pres­sure?

The most important step is to clarify what we believe in. If we are not sure or oniy half­hearted about our values, other choices will seem more attrac­.live. Acting in "doubt rather than out of decision is a path to trouble.

If you have questions about morM actions, I encourage you to seek out an, adult and talk about your questions. Your par­ish priest, youth or campus min­ister, or perhaps a teacher at your school could be helpful as you struggle to form stronger moral convictions.

As for dealing with peers, it is good ,to realize what reaHy gains respect from others. Often the most certain way is to stand up for what you believe.

Perhaps your own choices or values wHI exclude you from certain kinds of activity, or even certain groups, but rarely does one lose respect by refusing to cave in t,o pressure.

While this is never easy, knowing that you have kept your self-respect makes it possible. Ultimately we have to-live with our conscience. Approval from others never makes up for a lack of self-approval.

Dealing effectively with peer pressure is an important issue for all of us. If you have some ddeas about this, I invite you to share them with others. I will try to include some of 'your thoughts in future columns. How do you deM with peer pressure?

In 1603, in one of the most controversial trials of its day, Sir Walter Raleigh was accused of plotting against the English Crown. The evidence at trial consisted mainly of a sworn statement by Raleigh's ai­'leged coconspirator, Lord Cob­ham. Raleigh argued that Cob­ham now admitted to lying and that his prior confession should not be introduced in evidence.' While the famed explorer was being tried, Cobham was being held nearby in, the Tower of London. Raleigh pressed the

Q. Do you think a girl who is 18 Is old enough to go out with guys without asking permission from her parents? (Maryland)

A. In our area the late news always begins wdth the an­nouncer saying, "It's 11 o'clock. Do you know where your child­ren are?"

His words are a dramatic re­minder of the difficult obJ.iga­tions parents have in regard, to their children. It would be much easier for parents to let their children run free and perhaps wild. Keeping track of them can be a real hassle.

When I was about your age, I felt that kids were hemmed in by rules. Our lucky parents were free.

. Now I know differently. Par­ents too are hemmed in by rules of enormous gravity, although the word "rule" does not exact­ly express their responSlibility.

,God asks parents to love their ohildren and be concerned about· them in many ways. They must try to fo~ter not only their physi­cal but also their psychological and moral health.

To put it another way, God asks your parents to help you as best they can to reach Christian matullity and a ~ull m~asure .of

Instead, the prosecutor intro­duced a boat pilot. The pilot testified that, while in Portugal, a man had told him tha,t ,Raleigh and Cobham planned to kill the king. Raleigh protested, but to no avail. On this evidence he was convicted and executed. Out­rage at this injustice led to' de­velopment of the rule against hearsay.

Hearsay in simple. terms, is any statement made out of court which you seek to introduce as evidence at trial. Virtually any' form of communication can count as a, statement - from the most eloquent speech to a simple gesture. Something you have written may also be a statement.- In Raleigh's caSe, the prosecutor introduced a letter supposedly written by Lord Cob­ham. Even if 'you take the wit­ness stand, your prior out 'of court statements constitute hear­say. Thus, Cobham's prior con­fession would be hearsay even had he been called to testify.

Under ,the rule against hear­say, where you offer such state- ' ments to prove the very fact that the statement asserts, it is excludable as hearsay. the boat

happiness. Any parent knows there are plenty of obstacles that

.can damage or even destroy a young person's chances of achiev­ing maturity and happiness: drugs, booze, re~kless driving, the date who wiH use a partner in a selfish way, and so on. .

If your parents are lovIng, conscientious and generous, they wiUtry to help you avoid such obstacles. One way is by' keep­ing tabs on where and with whom you are.

At 16,' you should let your parents know where you will be going, with whom, and if, in the course of the even,ing, you move on to ,another party' or .place, you should advdse your parents by phone. ,

Yes, this is restrictive and at times annoying. If you gruDtble some,it's understandable. Bu,t from here, it looks as though your parents love you a great deal since they put up with the hassle of keeping tabs on you.

Many a boy or gI1l1 of the streets would give anything for such parents. '

pilot's statement tha,t a Portu­guese man said that Raleigh and Cobham were plotting against the king goes to the very issue this evidence is offered to prove - that Raleigh sought to kiU the king. Today, this evidence' would be excluded as hearsay.

The basic concern with hear­say evidence is that it may be unreliable. You may well wonder about the reliability of a rumor that a boat, pilot picks up from a passenger. It is feared that testimony whose truthfulness is never tested in court may lead a jury to wrongfully convict a defendant or find against a party. What ~ed the passenger to believe that Raleigh' plotted against the king? Failure to ask this 'and 'similar questions cost Raleigh his life.

Where hearsay evidence is permitted, there is the possibility that at some future time the per­son who supposedly'made the untested statement may, come

\forward and' deny it. Suppose, as Raleigh claimed, Lord Cob­ham later says he never con­fessed to treason? Or the boat passenger admits he lied about the plot to kiH the king? The verdict would be undercut, an innocent, person would have been sent to the gallows,' and

faith in our legal system would be diminished.

If the exceptions -really do prove the rule, then the rule against' hearsay is proven 34 times over. The Federal Rules of Evidence, which apply in any federal case and serve as a guide for many states' courts, provides 34 exceptions to the hearsay rule. Under them' you may in­troduce evidence despite the fact that it would otherwise be hear­say. These exceptions go to situa­tions in which there is reason to trust the evidence and where ,there is less potential for the verdict later being undercut.

One such exception concerns the testimony of an unavailable witness who previously testified under oath at a preliminary hearing. Provided rthat your adversary had an adequate op­portunity to 'cross-examine this witness at that time, you may introduce the witness' testimony from that hearing. The notion is that this evidence is more trustworthy as it has been sub­jected to that "ultimate engine for determining the truth" ­cross-examination. .

Another hearsay exception permits statements you have made that are against your own interests. Suppose you are in­

volved in an auto accident and the first thing that the other driver says to you is, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run through that red light:" At trial, you can offer this evidence to show' that the accident was his fault.

Writings may also be con­sidered hearsay statements. To­(jay, business records are often an essential source of evidence. One hearsay exception permits you to introduce as evidence records kept on a regular basis. As accuracy would be in the

'business' self-interest, ,there is generaHy little reason to be­Heve such records to be un­trustworthy.

Even if a statement does not fall within a hearsay exception, it will not automatically be ex­cluded. You must raise an ob­jection to the hearsay evidence before the judge may disqualify it. Also, even if a statement is covered by a' hearsay exception, it is ,not automatically intro­duced as evidence. This only means that it ds not excludable as hearsay. If you object" the

, judge may still exclude the evi­dence U, for example, it is ir­relevant or if it is a privileged communication.

School lunch aid WASHINGTON (NC)-The U.S.

Catholic Conference has urged support for school lunch legisla­tion that would increase fund­ing for the program and allow private schools charging $1,500 or more in tuition to participate. In a letter to Sen. Jesse Helms, R~N.C., chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Father Thomas Gallagher, USCC secre­tary for education, said that the legislati~n, S·.1913, "recognizes the needs of many poor and undernourished children" and "also addresses a concern of particular importance to the Catholic school community."

Women's pastoral committee named

WASHINGTON (NC) - Bishop Joseph L. Imesch of Joliet, 111., will head the committee of U.S. bil!hops drafting a national pas­toral letter on women.

Formation of the committee was announced by Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye, general secretary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops..

'Besides Bishop Imesch, who called for the pastoral letter last November as chairman of the NCCB's Ad Hoc Committee on Women in Society and the' Church, the drafting committee will include Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, N.Y.; Bishop Thomas· J. Grady of Orlando, Fla.; Auxiliary Bishop Alfred C. Hughes of Boston; Auxiliary Bishop William Levada of los Angeles; and Auxiliary Bishop Amedee J. Proulx of Portland, Maine.

Even before the nation's bish­ops approved the project last November, the pastoral provoked controversy. Some women op­posed the idea of a pastoral on. women written by lPl all-male hierarchy.

Bishops defending the project argued that the role of women in church and society is an issue with serious moral and pastoral dimensions which the bishops have an obligation to confront. They rejected the idea .of a joint statement issued by the bishops and women, saying that the pas­toral was an NCCD -responsibility and that it was not within NCCB competence to issue a joint statement.

The" pastoral is scheduled for completion in 1988. Meantime, consultation with women is ex­pected to be a major part of the drafting process.

Responding to concerns about what the document might say about ordination of women to the priesthood, Bishop Imesch stressed that "the teaching of the church will be stated and re­spected lin this document."

Despite its potential for con­troversy, the bishops approved the pastoral project unanimous­ly.

The U.S. bishops have also suggested the issue of women in church and society as a possible topic for the. 1986 Synod of Bishops, a triennial meeting in Rome to discuss major questions facing the church.

Teaching Judaism WASHINGTON (NC) - A

fuller understanding of "living Judaism" is needed in Catholic education so that Catholics can better know the origins of their own faith, an official of the Na­tional Conference of Catholic Bishops said after attending a meeting with Jewish leaders. Eugene Fisher, executive secre­tary of the NCCB's Secretariat for Catholic-Jewish Relations, said that in 'a Vatican commis­sion, in a major effort to pro­mote changes' in teaching on Jews and Judaism, has drafted a set of teaching guidelines for use in Catholic schools.

Nun named finance director

WASHINGTON (NC) - Im­macu,late Heart of Mary Sister Frances A. Mlocek, 49, has been named director of finance for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Con­ference. She succeeds Francis X. Doyle, appointed an NCCB­USCC associate general secre­tary last March.

During ,that time she established uniform account­ing and reporting systems for her order and oversaw its ~ansi­tion from hand to computerized accounting and reporting.

As the Detroit Archdiocese's first internal auditor for parishes from 1976 to 1978, she develop­ed a uniform audit guide and report format for parishes, train­ed parish bookkeepers and began a newsletter on financial respon­sibilities and 'development in' parishes. .

From 1978 to 1983 she was an assistant to the executive direc­tor of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.· Besides managing the conference's inter­nal finances and accounting, she developed and directed its poli­cies and actions concerning state and federal taxation of religious institutes and their members and addressed legal, financial and re­tirement issues facing religious orders.

In 1981 she testified before the Senate Finance Committee, urg­ing retention of the Social Security minimum benefit pro­vision for members of religious orders.
