Bishops nixcontra aid

WASHINGTON (NC) - Indi­vidual U.S. bishops in late Julyvoiced opposition to U.S. aid tothe Nicaraguan rebels but differedover whether Nicaragua's govern­ment is influenced by Soviet ideol­ogy.

Cardinal Bernard F. Law ofBoston, meanwhile, said the Nica­ragua debate focuses too much onwhether the U.S. should aid thecounterrevolutionaries, popularlyknown as the contras, and notenough on creative solutions tothe conflict.

The comments were made as theIran-contra hearings began wind­ing down on Capitol Hill and asCentral American foreign minis­ters met at a regional summit inGuatemala Aug. 6-7 to try to bringabout a negotiated peace.

Brooklyn Auxiliary Bishop Jos­eph M. Sullivan, chairman of theU.S bishops' Committee on Social

.Development and World Peace,said after a meeting with CentralAmerican bishops that he had cometo believe the Sandinista govern­ment of Nicaragua is "Marxist­Leninist" and "totalitarian."

But he said in a July 27 inter­view he still opposed aid to thecontras and expected the U.S. bi­shops would reaffirm their opposi­tion at their November meeting.

Bishop Sullivan was among fiveU.S. bishops, representing the U.S.Catholic conference, who met witha delegation of 11 Central Ameri­can bishops from SEDAC, theepiscopal secretariat of CentralAmerica and Panama, July 21-23in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Detroit Auxiliary Bishop Tho­mas J. Gumbleton, however, saidJuly 23 in Baltimore that Nicara­gua is buying weapons from theSoviets, "but they are not buyingSoviet ideology."

His meetings with Nicaraguangovernment leaders lead him tobelieve that "they're determined tobe an independent nation. Theyhave been kind of a colony for 130years. They are not going to giveup their independence to be abackyard country to the SovietUnion or anybody," he said.

"From what I know, the Nica­raguan government is based "asmuch on Catholic social teachingas any government I've ever heardof," he said.

Cardinal Law, in a 1,200-wordstatement titled "Breaking the Ni­caragua Statement," said debateon Nicaragua has centered toomuch on the question of assistingthe contras.

Instead of treating Nicaragua asa "political football," he said, theUnited States should develop abipartisan policy toward Nicara­gua, support the Contadora pro­cess of regional peace negotiations,and push measures to promote

In Los Angeles he will do so inresponse to substantive statementson major issues prepared by someof the leading U.S. bishops. Theirstatements were sent to the Vati­can in mid-June, giving the popeand his advisers a full three monthsto study them and prepare a re­sponse.

Archbishop Weakland, inter­viewed by phone in late July, saidhe and the other speakers were notpermitted to discuss details of theirpresentations, although the generaltopics have been made public.

The Milwaukee archbishop, for­mer abbot general of the world'sBenedictines, was the central fig­ure in development of the U.S.bishops' 1986 pastoral letter on theeconomy and is part of the U.S.delegation to this fall's world Synodof Bishops on the laity, whichstarts less than two weeks after thepope returns to Rome.

Archbishop Weakland's topic isCatholic laity in the United States.

"It's a little hard to talk about itwithout going into the content,"he said. "I tried to take a descrip­tive approach, to describe what Isee. I also relied heavily on socio­logical data."

the pope will criticize the U.S. hier­archy are likely to be disappointed."One of the themes the Holy Fatherstresses" on his travels, said Arch­bishop Thomas C. Kelly of Louis­ville, Ky., is his mission as succes­sor of St. Peter to "strengthen hisbrothers."

Archbishop Kelly, head of thepapal trip planning committee, saidhe hopes and expects that the popewill commend, encourage and af­firm the bishops in their work, ashe did in 1979 during his last majortrip to this country.

During this trip the pope willmeet with the bishops Sept. 16 atOur Lady Queen of the AngelsMinor Seminary in San Fernando,a suburb in the greater Los Angelesarea.

The meeting is to start at 9 a.m.and last about four-and-a-halfhours. It will include a time for thebishops and pope to pray together."You have no idea what impactthat can have," said ArchbishopKelly.

Expectations of a major papalspeech are based on the directpreparations for the approachingmeeting and on Pope John Paul'swell-established practice of usingsuch meetings to speak to thebishops of a country about keychurch issues affecting them.

WASHINGTON (NC) - WhenPope John Paul II visits the Uni­ted States this September, one ofthe most crucial events for U.S.Catholicism will almost certainlybe his Los Angeles talk to thenation's bishops.

That talk "will probably be oneof the most important ones of thetrip as far as the church in the yni­ted States is concerned," said Mil­waukee's Archbishop Rembert G.Weakland, one of four Americanbishops who is to address the popeon that occasion.

Controversial issues of personaland social morality, obedience tochurch teaching authority, the roleof the laity, priestly vocations, andthe often tense U.S. church rela­tions with the Holy See are amongcentral issues Pope John Paul islikely to raise.

"There is a tension" betweenU.S. bishops and Rome, and itneeds to be addressed "without alot of euphemisms," ArchbishopWeakland said.

"Ifyou look at the whole historyofhis pontificate," said ArchbishopJohn R. Quinn of San Francisco,another bishop designated to ad­dress the pontiff, "it's clear thatthis pope is not one who shiesaway from facing these thingsdirectly."

At the same time, those hoping

Further, he said, family plannersopposed to abortion would be ableto participate in Titl.e X becausethe new regulations would removea stipulation that abortion be men­tioned as an option for a pregnantwoman.

"Now the president is coming tothe assistance not only of the un­born children but also of naturalfamily planning agencies whichdeserve Title X support," FatherBryce said. "Again, I applaud thepresident's effort on behalf of theunborn child and anticipate sup­porting the regulations if they saywhat the president says."

The Planned Parenthood Fed­eration of America rejected theproposed changes. .

"These regulations are politicallymotivated and only designed togive satisfaction to the anti-abor­tion extremists in this country,"Faye Wattleton, the group's presi­dent, said July 31 in a televisioninterview. Earlier, she also prom­ised that "w~ will go to the heartsand minds of the people. But wewill also go through the judicialprocess."

Dr. John C. Willke, NationalRight to Life Committee presi­dent, said it was clear that "thepresident wants to remove abor­tion providers from the program- a step which we have longurged."

Cautiousoptimism

WASHINGTON (NC) - Pro­lifers expressed optimism aboutPresident Reagan's plans to denyfederal family planning funds toprograms offering abortion coun­selingand referrals but also advisedcaution until Reagan's intentionsactually take effect.

Addressing right-to-life leadersJuly 30, Reagan announced plansfor new regulations to "specificallystate that a program which doesprovide counseling and referralfor abortion services as a methodof family planning will not be elig­ible for Title X funds."

Title X is the federal familyplanning program.

"I welcome President Reagan'sannouncement," said Father Ed­ward M. Bryce, director of theNational Conference of CatholicBishops Office for Pro-Life Activ­ities. "The ideas which the presi­dent articulated are clear. I awaitthe publication of the regulationswith the sincere hope that they willbe equally clearand unambiguous."

Reagan said the regulationswould "ensure that no Title Xfunds go to any program thatencourages, promotes oradvocatesabortion, or which assists a womanin obtaining an abortion" andwould mandate "that any organi­zation that provides abortion-re­lated services will bo required toclearly separate these from Title Xprograms."

The only other country with asignificant number of permanentdeacons was West Germany, with1,108. .

Religious brothers and womenreligious continue to register sharplosses in membership, with broth­ers dropping from 73,090 to 65,208and women religious from 960,991to 917,432 in the 1980-85 period.

The figures show that in 1985because of the priest shortage, 1.5percent of the church's 212,021parishes and quasi-parishes world­wide were administered by non­priests or had no one in charge.

Lay people directed 872 par­ishes, 40 percent ofthem in France;women religious 783,53 percent inLatin America; permanent deacons212, almost half of them in Northand South America; and religiousbrothers 77. 1,224 pastoral centershad no one in charge.

Church vocationsmixed picture

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Thelatest Vatican figures present amixed picture of church vocationsworldwide.

The number of priests and relig­ious continues to drop while theratio of Catholics to priests con­tinues to grow.

Yet the number of major semi­narians has risen steadily duringthe 1980s, keeping pace with theincreasing number of Catholicsand offering hope to the hierarchythat the situation eventually mightimprove.

Priestly ordinations are also onthe rise, but are still insufficient tomake up for losses due to deathsand departures from the activ~

ministry.There has also been a sharp rise

in the number of permanent dea­cons, but this has been confinedalmost entirely to the United States.

The latest worldwide church fig­ures were published in July in theStatistical Yearbook ofthe Churchfor 1985. The data were compiledby the Vatican's Central StatisticsOffice from information submit­ted by local church officials.

In the 1980-85 period, the num­ber of religious and diocesanpriests dropped from 413,600 to403,480. The major losses were inthe United States and WesternEuropean countries. Africa, LatinAmerica and Asia showed slightincreases in the number of priests.

During the same period, theratio of Catholics to priests rosefrom 1,895 per priest to 2,112 perpriest. The ratio also rose in Africa,Latin America and Asia, showingthat even where priests are grow­ing in numbers, the increase is out­stripped by the overall rise in Cath­olic numbers.

On the positive side, religiousand diocesan major seminarians,those studying philosophy andtheology, rose sharply from 66,042in 1980 to 85,042 in 1985. Thenumber of seminarians also showsa slight rise in proportion to theCatholic population.

The 1980 figure represents 8.43seminarians per 100,000 Catholics,while the 1985 ratio is 9.99 semi­narians per 100,000 Catholics.

The rise has been worldwide,except for the United States andCanada, which registered drops of357 and 98 respectively between1980 and 1985.

There were 7,488 major semi­narians in the United States in1980, compared to 7,131 in 1985.Canada had 1,055 in 1980 and 957in 1985.

The steady downward trend inthe two countries during the firsthalf of the 1980s contrasts withother regions registering increases.

The general rise in seminarianshas been reflected in a rise in ordi­nations, especially for the dioce­san priesthood. During the 1980­85 period; ordinations for thediocesan priesthood rose from

. 3,860 to 4,822. Ordinations to thereligious priesthood rose onlyslightly, from 1,927 to 1,963.

The worldwide Catholic popu­lation in 1980 was 784 million.This rose to 866.7 million in 1985.

The number of permanent dea­cons is also on the rise, jumpingfrom 7,654 to 12,541 in the 1980­85 period. But this is predomi­nantly a U.S. phenomenon. TheUnited States had 7,560 - 60 per-

become a co-filer of corporateresponsibility resolutions for thefirst time this year.

In a resolution filed with GeneralElectric, for instance, it calls onthe directors to adopt a policyagainst any involvement in thespace-based Strategic Defense Ini­tiative and to promote space tech­nology only "for peaceful applica­tion and direct human benefit."The Christian Brothers firm said itwould be voting 17,500 shares forits resolution.

Brother Blixt said all the firm'searnings for itself were taken torepay' start-up costs until last year,when it finally came into the black.He said a foundation had been setup to serve the economically dis­advantaged in education, and about$40,000 of the profit would go toit. In subsequent years, some ofthe profits will go to the founda­tion, and the rest to other work ofthe Christian Brothers.

Although not all, the ChristianBrothers understand what theirinvestment firm is doing or why,Brother Blixt said, he is convincedit fits in with the order's educa­tional apostolate. The firm alsodoes more direct education in coun­seling about investment strategiesand holding seminars. It plans amajor symposium on the WestCoast in October, and BrotherBlixt recently flew to Rome toaddress 90 international treasurersof religious orders about sociallyresponsible investment.

- Some $187 million in indi­vidually managed portfolios forreligious orders.

Christian Brother Louis De­Thomasis, president of St. Mary'sCollege in Winona, Minn., soldthe Christian Brothers on theidea,Brother Blixt said, and served asparttime president until the direc­tors decided a full time presidentwas needed.

Manhattan College, a Christianbrothers institution in New York,and seven of the order's eight U.S.provinces founded the investmentfirm, and the board consists of onerepresentative of each. The Cali­fornia Province did not partici­pate because in connection with itswine business it already had invest­ment arrangements.

Founded in Illinois, the firmuntil a year ago had offices only inthe Chicago suburb of Oak Brook.but Bear, Stearns agreed to makesome of its space available, and inJanuary 1986 Brother Blixt openedthe New York office.

Last October, the firm joinedthe Interfaith Center on Corpo­rate Responsibility, an agency re­lated to the National Council ofChurches but operating under itsown board. In cooperation withthe center, which coordinates mostof the church activity in this field,the Christian Brothers firm has

Do Something for Your ChurchWithin a few weeks, Pope John Paul II will once more visit

these United States and pray with us. 'This should be a veryspecial moment for Catholic Americans.

Catholics are the largest religious body in this country,numbering over 52 million by official count and unofficiallypossibly over 75 million. The difference in figures is explainedby the mobility of people and the failure of many who considerthemselves Catholic actually to affiliate with a parish.

It follows from this that despite their tremendous numbers,today's American Catholics are a diverse and somewhatdivided lot. There are the well-established and socially accep­table Catholics, drifting in many ways towards mainstreamAmerica, with all the negatives that label implies.

In contrast, there are the new immigrant Catholics who arestruggling for survival and token acceptance. Many do notspeak English and often live in inner-city ghettos, maintainingtheir own culture and customs.

As a church family, in one way we have come a long distancefrom the days of John Carroll; in other ways, we are back tosquare one. The diversity of the church in America is at once itsgreatest strength and its most worrisome potential weakness.

In addition to coping with internal factions and fractions,we Catholics must deal with the realization that we are stillrelegated to the position of second-class citizens. Bigotry andprejudice still cast their pall of suspicion and mistrust, the cryof"No Popery" is still heard. In short, many Americans still donot trust Catholics and their misgivings are inflamed by somefundamentalist preachers.

Into all this comes our pope and there are natural fears thatold suspicions and new controversies will dim the joy of theoccasion.

But it is imperative that we do not become overdefensive andunduly alarmed by the possibility ofdifficulties while the popeis with us. Rather, we should regard his trip as a wonderfulopportunity for Catholics to come together in the bond of'family unity. We should also regard the media impact of thevisit as an opportunity for evangelism.

In that connection, it is indeed refreshing to see variousCatholic agencies cooperating to spread the papal message.Mother Angelica ofthe Eternal Word Television Network hasspearheaded this effort. EWTN will work with the U.S.Catholic Conference and the Catholic TelecommunicationsNetwork of America to bring coverage of the pope's visit tohomes acrOss America.

In order to implement this plan, EWTN is encouragingCatholics to inform local cable television channels that theycan carry "Papal Visit '87" freely. Yes, cable channels every­where may broadcast EWTN transmissions of this specialproduction at no charge. Papal visit coverage in its entirety willbe offered daily Sept. 10 through 19, from 10 a.m. until 11p.m., Eastern daylight time.

If we want to spread the good news of Pope John Paul'smessages to America, we should by letter, phone and in personencourage local cable channels, presently 19 in this diocese, toput EWTN on line and let them know it will not cost them acent. '

Take a pen or pick up the phone to ask your cable channel tocarry the papal visit. Let the channels know that 53 millionCatholics want to watch the media event of the year, PapalVisit '87.

DIETZEN

A. The only important thingfor you to do is to go to a priest, inthe sacrament of penance if youwish, and tell him the situation. Hewill help you more easily than youexpect.

Many things are required beforea person is excommunicated fromthe church. One is that the indi­vidual must be aware, at the time aparticular act is committed, thatan excommunication will be in­curred ifthe act is carried through.

Q. My 24-year-old son, a prac­ticing Catholic, lives and works inSan Diego. He is engaged to alovely non-Catholic woman whoalso lives and works in that city.However, the wedding will takeplace in San Francisco, which isthe hometown of the bride-to-beand the residence of her family.

The ceremony will be performedin the Presbyterian Church andmy son would like a priest to bepresent and take part in the cere­mony to make it valid in the eyesof the Catholic Church. The wed­ding is 'scheduled for summer of1988.

Obviously all the paper workand premarriage preparations willtake place at my son's parish inSan Diego. But since he has noparish priest in San Franci5co,how does he go about getting apriest to be present at IUs wedding?

My son's fiance has expressedinterest in becoming a Catholic inthe future but that will not takeplace until some time after thewedding. (Ohio)

A. First, we should clarify aserious misconception which youand your son seem to be under.From your letter it is obvious he ispreparing this marriage with theassistance of a Catholic priest,who will, I assume, ask the localbishop for a dispensation from theform of marriage. That means thatthe Catholic partner (your son)may be married by someone otherthan a Catholic priest and stillhave that marriage valid in theeyes of the Catholic Church.

If that is done, no priest need bepresent at'the marriage for thatmarriage to be a true marriageaccording to Catholic Church law.It is important to be clear aboutthat.

I can understand that a Catholicwould like a priest to be present,but this presence is not essential.

As to having a priest in SanFrancisco present, that would bestbe planned, if it is possible at all,through the priest now arrangingthe marriage with your son and hisfiance.

The most a priest can do in thesecircumstances is attempt to find aparish close to the Presbyterianchurch where the marriage willtake place and inquire if a priestfrom that parish is free to be at thewedding. Sometimes that is possi­ble; often it is not, simply becauseof the schedule of weddings andother resposnibilities priests havein their own parishes, especially onSaturdays. .

Please ask your son to talk to hispriest and learn what might bedone.

In any case, remember againthat even ifa priest cannot be pres­ent, the marriage is a true Catholicmarriage if the dispensation is ob­tained from the bishop.

It seems ~lear that this is what ishappening in the preparation foryour son's marriage.

Q. I just recently found out thatI have been excommunicated fromthe church for a mistake I madeyears ago. I am heartbroken. Pleasetell me what to do. (North Carolina)

In all the media coverage ofscandals, I have yet to read or hearanything dealing with their effecton the upcoming generation. Ascommentators dissect the impactof scandals. on elections, televan­gelism and security, family seemsforgotten. '

Ifwe think the effect is minimal,let's ask our kids what they thinkabout honesty in politics, govern­ment, religion and Marine secur­ity. Their distrust might disturb usand well it should.

Then let's hear some instruc­tions from those in authority onhow to continue to rear trustingchildren in a dishonest society.For instance, what about puttingleaders into office ,who model thevirtues 'they call for in campaignspeeches? Our only other choicesare to teach distrust, vigilance andwariness in leadership or that it'sOK to shelve values once a degreeof success is attained.

have accounted for a return toconservatism.

But we're back to square onewith a fund mentalist preacher cal­ling for family values while model­ing otherwise, a law-and-orderWhite House subverting the law,and Marines giving out secretsthey were supposed to be guarding.

Once again the task of defend­ing values verbalized but not actedupon by leadership puts parentson the spot. It is easier to teachhonesty, trust, respect, and pridein country when those in chargeexhibit these values. It's unlikelythese values will take root in young­sters treated to a s~andal a week.Youth, like adults, tend to regardvalues widely touted but easilyignored as rhetorical rather thanlived. /'

So what do we do? Stop tryingto pass on these values to ourchildren? No. We use the scandalsto teach a deeper lesson, that peo­ple can espouse a value withoutacting upon it, that what leaderspreach can be expedient ratherthan lived, and that because prom­inent figures behave in this waydoes not mean it is okay unless oneis apprehended in the act.

If we don't do this, we will findourselves with a new generation ofcynics who, like those of the 60s,distrust religion and democracy

Will this October's worldSynod of Bishops on the laityresurrect the section on thelaity in the Second VaticanCouncil's Constitution on the'Church? There is a paragraph inthat document which, iftaken seri­ously, could change the lives ofmany laypersons and, consequent­ly, our society.

In that paragraph Christ is called"the great prophet" who continu­ously fulfills his prophetic office.This he does not only through thehierarchy who teach in his namebut also through the laity. Christmade the laity witnesses so that thepower of the Gospel might shineforth in their daily social and fam­ily life, the Vatican II documentsays (No. 35).

To understand the impact ofthis statement the exact meaningof the word "prophet" must bedefined.

In ancient times a prophet was"one called," "a spokesperson," "amouthpiece." Contrary to popularopinion, a prophet does not neces­sarily forecast the future. In thebiblical books of the prophets weread how God calls them, commis­sions them and gives them the mis­sion to go out and preach.

Because of the audience theyhad to face, none of the prophetsembraced this calling withoutqualms. Their audience consistedof kings, princes, false prophetsand priests who had gone astray.Almost always those who shouldhave welcomed the advice ofprophets hated and persecutedthem.

Justice was the primary concernof the prophets. It consisted of arighteousness associated with aburning compassion for the op­pressed, imitating God's own com-passion. .

For the powerful who were liv­ing offthe misfortunes ofthe poor,this was an unwanted message.Nor did those living lasciviously

scandals: limy Bakker, GaryHartand the U.S. Marines. Itseems that although womendon't always have power, they cer­tainly can disrupt it.

This isn't, however, going to beyet another column on the rightand wrong in public places. It's acolumn on the fallout of suchscandals on parents. While we tryto teach youth to trust and respectour institutions and those whorepresent them, they're listening tomedia jokes, reading headlines andbecoming more cynical and lessrespecting of government and reli­gion.

"We were treated to the JimyBakker jokes coming home fromhigh school," o,ne parent said."These were after the Contragatejokes and before the Hart jokes.'What could we say? Were we sup­posed to laugh or defend our pub­lic figures and institutions?"

10 years ago, I wrote a columnon the difficulties of post-Watergateparents who felt disgust with thegovernment but who still felt respon­sible for rearing patriotic and law­abiding children. This dilemmaeased with the advent of conserva­tism in both religion and law-and­order government. It may even

Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczykof Cincinnati, NCCB vice presi­dent, who drew strong praise fromthe country's bishops when hespoke to them about ordainedministry at a special meeting lastyear in Collegeville, Minn., is tospeak about vocations.

The growing shortage of priestsand religious in the United States,an area of growing concern to thebishops, is known to be one of thepope's chief concerns as well.

Asked ifthe tensions he referredto between the U.S. bishops andthe Vatican were accurately por­trayed in the press, ArchbishopWeakland said, "The press canvery often pit the 5 percent on theextreme right against the 5 percenton the extreme left, and find agood story. I'ln not blaming thepress - [finding controversy] ispart oftheir job. But that's not thestory of what's happening in themiddle."

The real tension "is much deeper"than specific controversies of themoment and "goes back manydecades," he said.

From the Vatican's side, he said,the tension stems from "the size ofthe United States and its influence,religiously and politically, aroundthe world."

Archbishop Quinn, while ac­knowledging that the pope's meet­ing with the bishops would proba­bly be one of the major events ofthe papal trip, warned againstviewing it in isolation from themany other speeches and eventsover the 10-day span that the popewill be in the United States.

such as the church in the UnitedStates, and the universal church.

His topic is intimately tied tovirtually all the major controver­sies in the u.s. Catholic Church inrecent years, ·because in almostevery case one of the central pointsof dispute has been the extent andstyle of Vatican involvement inlocal church affairs.

Archbishop Quinn, also a formerNCCB president, former head ofthe bishops' Committee on Doc­trine, and head of the papallyappointed commission on religiouslife in the United States, is toaddress issues of the church's moralteaching.

He acknowledged that his talk

He began his journalismcareer in 1929 with a NewYork daily. He also workedbriefly in the Catholic pressand from 1953-1955 was exec­utive editor of Catholic Di­gest magazine.

As free-lance writer, hecon­tributed to several monthliesincluding Sign, the now-de­funct Passionist order publi­cation, which published hisfamous "The Day Christ WasBorn," which later was ex­panded into a book followingthe a-day-in-the-life format,which became Bishop's trade­mark.

An Irish Catholic, Bishopoften spoke warmly of thechurch. Although he admit­ted he seldom attended Mass,he described himself as a"deeply committed" Catholic.

He once noted that duringhis lean days as a writer, when"nobody seemed to want mystuff' he began to receivechecks for $175 from the edi­tor of Sign, Passionist FatherRalph Gorman.

1was talking recently to a friendwho Wasan ace pilot during WorldWar II. Col. Russell Agneta rackedup so many bombing roi~sions inthose terrible war years that bewas said to be on the Nazi must·,boot~ownlist. But with the graceof God. he made it home !Sfely.

1 asked him what kind of cour·age it took to get up every day andknow this could be your last oneon earth. He smiled and said simply."It wall my job."

How much is contained in thatsimple sentence - the ingredientsofdependability. fidelity, unselfISh·ness. dedication; the "right stuff.'"

I thought of my father, JoeOppedisano. When my father wassick in those last w~ks before hedied, my brothers Joe and Dickand I took his hands one day andtold him "thank you." We wantedhim to know how much we appre­ciated his fidelity.

He looked at us. smiled andsaid. "You don't have to thank me.It was my job."

Remarkably, the words and thesmile. both with my pilot friendand with my father. went hand innand.

When I first met Agneta and hislovely wife. Helene, several yearsaso, they were my new neighbors.My daughter Mary lived with meat the time and used to say how hewas like the sunshine with hissmile and the Agnetas were the saltof the earth.

.Shortly after we met them, theybrought us apples from their appletree. Mary wall so touched by thi~

simple act of homespun neighbor­liness that she. fOr the first time inher life, made two apple pies, onefor us and one for the Agnetas.

That was when we learned aboutAgneta's war years and his furtheraccomplishments. He was one ofthe designers of the landing gearfor the Apollo II Mission whichtook tbree astronauts to the mOODfor the first time in history. Hisname is among thme on the plaquethat rests on the moon.

Again, no bragging. no ego, notrappingS- of honor. He was just aman who smiled and brought applesto his neighbors.

The group's main work, Mrs.Hannan said, "is to make weeklyvisits to parishioners in Cape CodHospital (Hyannis] and FalmouthHospital, jUlt to let them knowwe're there if they need us."

The Vincentians vilit the sick inteams of two, Mrs. Hannan said.and leave prayer cards with theirnames and phone numbers. Theytell patients that Father Tosti isjust a phone call away and thatthey would be glad to contact himfor them if they 50 prefer.

The next day, two people camefrom the prayer group and held a20-minute prayer service beforelunch.

Soon the prayer meeting ended,and about 120 people joined us inchurch. Brother stood at the mi·crophone and invited them "topraise God in the gift you havereceived." Suddenly the churchwas filled with beautiful sounds ofharmonious singing in tongues. Atrained musician, who was also anewcomer, said that it was six-partharmony.

Suddenly, though no one wasleading them, the singing stopped,as ifa choral director had given thesignal.

Praying in tonguesBy Mall'. Vincent M. W.....

At my very first charismatic meet·ing in April 1910, I did not hearpeople praying in tongues becausethe St. Boniface prayer group inPhiladelphia had Mass on thatFirst Friday. My attending in 1970came more from curiosity thanconviction, so I was somewhatresolved not to return. However,at my second enarisma.tic meeting,in 197J, I had enough experiencesto blow my mind.

That second night. Brother Pan·cratius, C.SS.R., the founder ofthe Renewal in Philadelphia, wasawaiting me because J had phonedhim that morning. He offered me achoice. I could attend the prayermeeting in the big room or go intothe church for a newcomer's tallc:.

I felt I ought to start at the bot­tom. He led me into the churchwhere about IS people, of everybackground, were sitting in thefint few pews, listening to twolaymen explaining the Renewal.

As 1slipped into the pew, I rec­ognized the, Y9'W8 man sittingbeside'1m!:: as a high school studentI bad'iaught three years earlier.The Lord really had me in thelearner's seat!

The teacher spoke of his ownexperiences with praying intODgues. Before Brother Pancra·tius came to Philadelphia in Janu­ary 1970, he had begun to reada bout charismatic experiences andhad begun to pray in tongues onhis own. However, he had manydoubts about the gift.

Soon after, he joined tile newly­formed prayer group and one nightdecided. to pray aloud in his tongue.After tbe meeting, a Greek-rite

Legion of Mary workdescribed by member

The insignum of the Legion of Mary

With the forthcoming Synod of Bishops which will haveas its topic the role oflaity in the church, diocesan members ofthe Legion of Mary have called attention to the fact that theLegion is a lay organization with a focus on evangelization, anarea ofthe Christian mission which the pope has described as aprime responsibility of laity as well as clergy.

A committed member of the Legion has prepared thefollowing article on its work.

Our Lady's Legion

OPEN DAILY MON. thru FRI. 9am-9pm-Open Sat. 9am-Spm

The Marian year has begun, giv­ing all a chance to discover orrenew devotion to Mary. Leadingus is the pope, an example of truedevotion and dependence on theMother of God.

In the Fall River diocese, theLegion of Mary will hold events ineach parish in which it is estab­lished, celebrating feasts honoringOur Lady.

During the Marian year, i"t ishoped that interest in the aposto­late of the Legion of Mary willgrow.

God uses persons as instruments.Do you enjoy speaking to people?Are you willing to share yourfaith? Do you want to fulfill y()urduty of evangelization?

If your answer is yes, you mayvery well be suited for active mem­bership in the Legion of Mary.The time you spend (about threehours a week) will be well worth it.The joy of seeing smiles on thefaces of nursing home patients, thefeeling of achievement when, be­cause of Legion visits, people returnto the sacraments - these areamong the rewards that come tothe active Legionary.

We are told that we are facedwith a vocation crisis. Here theLegion of Mary could playa majorrole in encouraging and fosteringvocations, especially to the priest­hood.

Legion meetings are essentiallyspiritual and the main object ofmembership is personal sanctifica­tion. Together with the apostolicwork assigned weekly, this orien­tation towards holiness gives one asense of being an active part ofthechurch.

It may be noted that many jun­ior and senior Legionaries havegone on to become priests, relig­ious and permanent deacons inour diocese.

Legion work is challenging, de­manding courage, patience andperseverance. But the recompenseof seeing souls come closer to Godis worth the effort required.

Evangelization is at the core ofthe work of the Legion and is atool that can playa very importantrole in a parish. Legionaries are atthe disposal of the pastor or spirit­ual director for whatever work isat hand.

Any priest who would like moreinformation on the Legion maycontact Very Rev. Barry W. Wall,its diocesan director and rector ofSt. Mary's Cathedral, Fall River.

The public is invited to be at thecathedral at 7 p.m. Aug. 14, thevigil of the Assumption, for aLegion-sponsored service com­prised of recitation of the rosary, aprocession and Mass.

Good Things"Fill your minds with those

things that are good and that de­serve praise: things that are true,noble, right, pure, lovely andhonorable. " - Phil. 4:8

Deacons, spousesto hear popeWith NC News reports

Seven permanent deacons andspouses from the Fall River dio­cese will be among 2,900 deaconsand their wives who will meet withPope John Paulll in Detroit onSept. 19, the last day of the pon­tiffs U.S. trip.

The diocesan representatives areDeacon and Mrs. John H. Schon­dek; Deacon and Mrs. AntonioM. dil Cruz; Deacon and Mrs.Richard J. Murphy Sr.; and Dea­con Robert B.,Raymond. DeaconSchondek serves at St. Paul par­ish, Taunton; Deacon da Cruz atOur Lady of Assumption, NewBedford; Deacon Murphy at Cor­pus Christi, Sandwich; DeaconRaymo'nd at St. Anne, Fall River.

16 years old, Detroit's perman­ent deacon program is one of theoldest and largest in the nation,with about 150 deacons serving inparishes, hospitals, jails, youthgroups and a variety of other min­istries.

U.S. dioceses have taken a leadin developing the permanent dia­conate since it was restored in thechurch 17 years ago. The UnitedStates has nearly 8.000 permanentdeacons, about three-fifths of theworld total.

Leo Bistak, a deacon in SterlingHeights, Mich., noted that "thedeacon can offer the witness ofmarriage that's not there withpriests. When I stand up andpreach, people know you have tostruggle every day and you bringthat to your preaching.... And Ican be a witness at work."

At his parish, Bistak works withengaged couples, preaches atMasses, oversees the lectors andteaches baptismal classes.

He also heads the Detroit per­manent deacons' assembly, whichorganizes retreats, days of recol­lection, continuing education and

, social events.Director of ministry for the

Detroit diaconate is Father GeorgeCharnley, a pastor in suburbanCanton.

The deacons' most importantfunction, Father Charnley said, is"being part of the marketplace,being a sign of the church, a pres­ence of the church in the market­place."

The "sign value" ofthe ordainedis "dynamite," he added. '

"I put liturgy last. They're notjust minipriests. It's a totally dif­ferent ministry and they do notjust do what the priest doesn'twant to," he said. "Many priestsare happy to have deacons andothers don't want anything to dowith them. I've had one at everyparish [I've been in] and I thinkthey're great and an asset to parishlife."

The number of U.S. deacons is a"great tribute to the church of theUnited States because the U.S. isone of the few places where men goto church," the priest added.

The pope's September meetingwith deacons will be "a boon" toprograms and "a sign the poperecognizes it asa viable ministry,"he said. '

sive approach to church teachingon procreation.

In a report two years ago to theCouncil for the Family, the Pol­tawskis (in Polish usage, the hus­band's name ends in "i," the wife'sin "a") proposed that terms such as"unwanted pregnancy" and "un­wanted child" be "excluded fromCatholic literature." Natural fam­ily planning methods should neverbe mentioned together with con­traception, they said, because itpromotes the "confusion" thatnatural family planning is merelyanother birth control technique.

They also proposed an end to"efficiency" charts comparingnatural family planning methodsand contraceptive methods. Theychastised Catholic doctors whoare "afraid" to say that "ifa coupleabstains from sexual activity dur­ing a woman's fertile period, thereis always an 'efficiency' of 100percent."

In the interview, Mrs. Poltawskapraised the recent document onprocreation by the Congregationfor the Doctrine of the Faith, butsaid it should have been stricter indisallowing all sperm- and ovum­transfer techniques. The documentsaid such techniques are allowedwhen they help rather than substi­tute for sexual intercaurse.

She also said the instruction,which condemned in vitro fertili­zation and surrogate motherhood,"came 15 years too late."

"As soon as we heard from Aus­tralia that they were experiment­ing with human sperm, the churchshould have said it was illicit," shesaid.

Mrs. Poltawska is outspoken'about the Roman Curia, criticiz­ing its slow methods and its mostlyclerical composition. There is noreason lay people could not fillmore curial offices, she said.

"The Vatican is not a placewhere women are easily accepted,"she added. "The first year, theSwiss Guards never saluted me.Now they do."

ing with married couples. She or­ganized a weekend encounter with10 couples on the verge of divorceand asked Father Wojtyla to givethem a Saturday night sermon.Afterward, not one of the couplesbroke up, she said.

"We saw that a pastoral pro­gram was needed," she said. Whenhe was named bishop and thenarchbishop of Krakow, the futurepope founded the Institute for theTheology ofthe Family and namedMrs. Poltawska its director. Later,she began teaching "pastoral med­icine" to Krakow seminarians,focusing on issues like abortion,contraception and euthanasia.

After the pope founded the Pon­tifical Institute for Studies on Mar­riage and the Family in Rome, shetaught there briefly, too.

A bout with cancer in 1962 illus­trated her spiritual closeness withthe pope. A week before she was toundergo an operation, then-BishopWojtyla asked Padre Pio of Pie­trelcina, an Italian Capuchinfamous as a holy man, to pray forher. When she went for the opera- 'tion, she said, she was told thecancer had disappeared. The epi­sode is under study as a possiblemiracle in Padre Pio's sainthoodcause.

She describes the pope as kindwith people but "hard as a rock"when it comes to ethical norms.She thinks criticisms about his andthe church's attitude toward womenare misplaced.

"If there's a feminist, it's thepope. He speaks about women in away that elevates their personalityas a treasure," she said. The papaladviser added: "I don't understandwhy women want to be priests.They don't understand that theyhave the chance to be mothers andbe so close to God."

Along with her husband, An­drzej, a philosophy professor atWarsaw's Catholic university, Mrs.Poltawska has impressed someVatican officials with an aggres-

she recently suggested approach­ing doctors with the question: "Howmany babies did you kill today?"

To couples and conventions, shedefends periodical sexual abstin­ence, saying it is not a church­imposed family planning solutionbut a natural part of sexual life.She rejects the view that naturalfamily planning diminishes thespontaneity of sex.

"Why shouldn't couples makean appointment for that great mo­ment?" she asks.

She faults Catholic universitiesand seminaries around the world,saying that, in many places, "Noone teaches Christian ethics any­more." During her first meeting atthe Council for the Family in 1982,she said, she realized that evenmany of the 18 other member­couples "were not completely edu­cated in morality."

"I speak in black and white, andfor that reason I have many ene­mies," Mrs. Poltawska said.

Several of her talks and writ­ings, she said, have been translatedand distributed in the United Statesby Catholics United for the Faith.She called the organization "theone group that I have faith in inAmerica."

Her relationship with the popebegan in postwar Krakow, whereshe was studying medicine andrunning a small home for unwedmothers.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy(NC) - In 1945, when the Germanconcentration camp of Ravens­bruck was liberated, an emaciatedPolish woman crawled out from apile of corpses where she had beenleft for dead. A witness to fouryears of atrocities, she was deter­mined to dedicate the rest of herlife to children and the unborn.

Today, Dr. Wanda Poltawska- medical doctor, psychiatrist andfamily planning expert - is one ofthe few women in the world whohas the ear of Pope John Paulllon family issues. As friend andadviser, she speaks to him withincreasing urgency about abortion,birth control and what she sees asa large-scale Catholic defectionfrom church teachings.

"We have to call evil by itsname," Mrs. Poltawska said, re­calling the lesson ofthe Nazi camp."In the world today, there aresome, not many, who understandthis and are faithful to what thechurch is saying."

Mrs. Poltawska, a member ofthe PontifICal Council for the Fam­ily and a teacher at the archdioce­san seminary in Krakow, Poland,spoke in an interview outside thepapal summer villa in Castel Gan­dolfo, 15 miles south of Rome.She and her family were spendingpart of their vacation with thepope, as they have for some 25years, she said.

For the pope, it's almost likehaving his own family, accordingto Vatican sources; Mrs. Poltaw­ska's young grandchildren call him"Holy Uncle."

The sources say the 65-year-oldmother of four has become aninfluential contributor to the pope'steachings on the family, bringingpastoral experience to his ethicalreasoning. "The pope often usesphilosophical'language. I useeveryday language. All I know isfrom life's experience," she said.

Her "everyday" language is fre­quently and deliberately blunt. Onthe abortion issue, for example,

He also welcomes New Bedfordarea Catholic men to contact himfor information aboutjoining Serraand its over 9,000 U.S. members.

He may be reached by mail at185 Milford Street, New Bedford02745.

Costa and his wife Patricia, mar­ried 36 years, are members of St.Mary's parish, New Bedford. Theyhave nine children, ranging in agefrom IO to 35.

The Costa clan's dad, like Rous­seau, is a charter member of NewBedford's Serra group, which wasestablished in 1958. He has servedas its president once before.

Costa is also a past governor ofSerra's District 40, which com­prises the dioceses of Fall Riverand Providence. Tim Mitchell ofSt. James parish, New Bedford,another New Bedford club member,is the current governor.

Also of note to those praying forvocations, the 45th annual SerraInternational convention was re­cently held in San Diego.

The meeting drew 1,500 partici­pants and was the largest gather­ing of Serrans ever held in the Uni­ted States. Delegates represented502 clubs in 29 nations.

Noting the convention's theme,"Unity in the Work of Service,"the newly elected president ofSerraInternational, Bill Cicherski ofDallas, urged members to promotethe Serra vocation programs.

Serra also needs more members,he said, announcing a "Two Todayfor Serra" campaign during whicheach ofthe current 16,000 memberswill be asked for the names of twoprospective Serrans.

Washington Archbishop JamesA. Hickey, episcopal adviser toSerra, told Serrans they "get thingsdone" and thanked them for theirvocation promotion efforts.

In an interview with the South­ern Cross, newspaper of the Dio­cese of San Diego, ArchbishopHickey said U.S. vocations were"holding their own" and that thechurch has begun to recognize andvalue vocations of people in their30s and older.

New Bedford Serrans'pray for vocations

By Joseph Motta

Serra International is a Catholicmen's organization that seeks tohelp members fulfill their ownChristian vocations to service andto foster religious vocations, show­ing young people that it is inter­ested in them and that it respectsand admires men and women whodedicate their lives to God.

The Greater New Bedford SerraClub's approximately 30 members,according to Gilbert J. Costa, itspresident, think that prayer is im­portant in encouraging vocations.

The group, he said, is participat­ing in The 31 Club, a ·Serra Inter­national project, in which partici­pants attend one extra Mass permonth for a year, offering it forpriests and religious who haveserved their parishes in the past,for the perseverance of those serv­ing now and for more vocations tocome from parish families. Costaexplained that the club takes itsname from the maximum number

. of days in a month. Each partici­pant chooses one day a month onwhich to attend the extra Mass.

Birthdays, he said, are easy toremember.

"Mine happens to be August 4so I use the fourth of each month."

The president said that clubmembers are asking people in NewBedford deanery parishes to par­ticipate in the program. "Pastorshave been super in offering sup­port," he said.

"What we're really doing," headded, "is asking the laity to joinwith us in recognizing the vocationcrisis. There are no rules, no dues.What we're asking for is theirprayers."

Costa said that his group beganinvolvement with The 31 Clubafter Bishop Daniel A. Croninasked them to· pray for vocationsduring the Marian year.

"We're the bishop's club," Costasaid. "Our loyalty is to him and towhat he wants us to do."

Wilfred Rousseau, a New Bed­ford club charter member, chairsThe 31 Club for that deanery'sSerrans.

"So far," Rousseau said, "it hasbeen received very well."

Abused children do not possessan understanding of what is reallygoing on, namely, that the abusingadult is acting out his or her ownpain.

It is not my purpose here to dis­cuss the causes and origins ofchildabuse in depth. What I do want topoint out is that almost any com­munity offers professional resour­ces that can help abused individuals.

Since my reading audience isprimarily teen-agers, I particularlyappeal to you. If you have beenabused in any way, reach out to atrusted adult and share your feel­ings and your pain.

I know that is difficult to do. Yetyour courage may be a highlyimportant step in getting help notonly for yourself, but also for theindividual who has abused you.

"Luka" reminds us of the dam~

aging effects on people of any typeof abuse. Most of us are aware ofthe pain caused by sexual andphysical abuse. However, verbalabuse also can be devastating.

At times, any of us can becomeverbally abusive toward others."Luka" prompts us to reflect onthis - on why we are sometimesled to put others down or to useother forms ofverbal abuse - andto work at removing such behaviorfrom our lives.

No matter what your age, youcan help to remove hurt from theworld and to bring healing into it.
