Sparked by Bishop Daniel A.Cronin's pledge of $300,000, pay­able over a three year periodfrom funds realized in the an­nual Catholic Charities Appeal,St. Anne's Hospital, Fall River,has kicked off a $1.8 million"Caring with Excellence" publicfund appeal.

The money will aid in fundingan $11 million building programdesigned to provide Greater FallRiver with modernized medicalfacilities under Catholic auspices.St. Anne's is the only such acutecare facility in the Fall Riverdiocese.

Over the past 75 years, saidBishop Cronin, the hospital hasbeen "a focal point for the exer­cise of the healing ministry. TheDominican Sisters of the Presen­tation and devoted lay people,

physicians, nurses, technicans . .have most admirably witnessedto the kingdom of God in ourmidst by their competent andloving care for God's belovedsick."

The bishop spoke Monday at akick-off luncheon at which amodel of proposed hospital alter­ations was displayed.

It was explained at a pressbriefing preceding the luncheonthat the original hospital build­ing, constructed in 1906, will bedemolished. Four new units willhouse offices, dietary and otherservices, a one-day surgery unitand expanded pediatric, radiologyand emergency departments.

"Surely those with religious,moral and ethical reservations tothe practice of abortion cannotbe expected to subsidize itthrough either sick leave or med­ical insurance," Bishop Kellysaid.

He said an injunction prevent­ing the abortion provisions ofthe act from being enforced anda declaration that the abortionprovisions were unconstitutionalwould be the only way FirstAmendment rights could be pro­tected.

FCC ExtendsDiscussion

WASl:IINGTON (NC) - TheFederal Communications Com­mission has extended for twomonths the period for publiccomment on a controversial pro­posal to deregulate the radioindustry.

The period for comment hadbeen scheduled to expire Jan.25 but has been extended untilMarch 25, an official at theFCC said.

Church groups, including theU.S. Catholic Conference, havebeen urging citizens to writethe FCC opposing the proposal.

The Anchor for Jan. 17 car­ried a public service announce­ment to that effect.

The deregulation proposalwould, among other things,eliminate the requirement thatcommercial radio stations devotea minimum amount of time tonews and public affairs andeliminate current limits on theamount of time that could bedevoted to commercials.

It pays to advertise in The Anchor, the largest

weekly newspaper in Southeastern Massachusetts,

reaching 27,000 subscribers and an estimated

Pro-lifers op:pose'in vitro' prOI~ram

Virginia pro-lifers have pro­tested the approval of the na­tion's first test-tube baby pro­ject and said they will. seek tostop it through the courts or thelegislature.

Virginia Health CommissionerDr. James Kenley has sanction­ed an application from the East­ern Virginia Medical School toset up the laboratory at NorfolkGeneral Hospital.

The clinic plans to conduct"in vitro fertilization" - surgi­cally removing an egg from awoman's ovary, fertilizing itwith sperm in a test tube andlater implanting the resultingfetus in the woman's uterus.

The president of the TidewaterChapter of the Virginia Societyfor Human Life, Char]es Dean,said the decision would befought in court and ill. the fed­eral and Virginia legislature. Hedid not specify on what groundsthe society would bring the caseto court.

Dean said he views in vitrofertilization as "destruction ofhuman life and a lessening ofrespect for human life."

He called it the selection andmanipulation of human embryosthat could lead the way to ex- .perimentation like the Nazi at·tempts to produce a masterrace.

indulging in the selfishness ofguilt. It is altogether appropri­ate that Peter's successorsthrough ordination to the priest­hood are authorized to proclaimthe forgiveness of God in thesacrament of Penance.

Many of us find it difficult toimagine a loving God. We limitGod to our imperfect image oflove. But love is unconditional.To think that we can manipulateGod's love is the ultimate sin ofpride. It was the sin of the Phari­sees and is the sin afflictingthose who devote themselves toa multitude of pseudo-religiousactivities, constantly countingtheir sacrifices in the hope Qfconvincing God to be on theirside.

What is essential about thesacrifice of Christ on the Crossis that it was once and for all.To follow Christ's unselfish lovewill mean the shattering of ourguilt and our .ego. Jesus' totalfreedom in accepting the Crosswas the result of the fact thathe was totally without guilt.

Freedom from guilt is a pre­condition for the ability to lovefreely. When ';'e love as Jesusdid, we love unselfishly, not torelieve our guilt feeings. Andonce we have encountered theforgiving love of God in Christ,we are free to follow him.

It is only when we turn fromthe selfishness of guilt to theforgiving love of God that wewill be free from guilt's burden.

When we understand thatChrist died for our sins, not toput a guilt trip on us but tofree us, we can begin to realizehow deeply loved we really are.

Jesus did 110t come to estab­lish a moral code but to allowus just a glimpse of the lovingacceptance God has for each andevery one of us.

Jesus was well aware of theprice guilt can exact. He readthe hearts of the Pharisees whomanipulated the guilt of thepeople for their own selfishends. He knew the resistance ofthe righteous to his message ofrepentance.

The coolness of Judas towardMary Magdalene proves thatthose who find it hard to for­give others will also find it hardto forgive themselves.

Peter shows us that the trueway of repentance is to ad~t

One of the greatest mistakesmade by religions that empha­size morality is to equate themagnitude of the sin with themagnitude of the guilt. As anexample, many Catholics scrupu­lously attend Mass and observethe Church's laws but are negli­gent in other areas of equal orgreater importance.

Efforts to free ourselves fromguilt often lead either to openrebellion or to a policy of ap­peasing authority figures. Thisunfortunate dynamic is presentin both the family and in man'srelationship with God.

We do have another option,

The nature of guilt is that wecan be conditionee. to feel it ornot at the whim cf our society.There is only one thing moreappalling than the Holocaust it­self and that is the fact that itwas done by men who felt noguilt.

·Conversely, we can be madeto feel guilty about matterswhich are not sinful. Guilt isusually proportionate to theamount of social disapproval oc­casioned by an act. When an in­stitution has the power to in­fluence what is approved or notapproved, there is danger of thesurrender of human freedom.

themoorin~Definitely on the Downbeat

Does Andrew Greeley really want to be pope? Onewonders what has driven this more than prolific writer tosuch recent depths of dribble and doggerel. From a review ofhis own columns, Andrew has definitely been on the down­beat since the election of the present pontiff.

His persistent fixation on matters papal and theological,certainly limited areas for one who claims to be a meresociologist, has led him into realms vastly beyond his com­petence and it really is beginning to show. For a scholarwho dictatorially demands of others professionalism andaccuracy, he truly has reduced his current streak of invec­tives to the level of Rona Barrett's daily commentaries.

During the past few months he has produced a seriesof columns that are more than incorrect, inaccurate andinexact. Repudiating, rejecting and revoking even basicgood manners, he has cut to shreds people who in anymanner, shape or form disagree with his very thin-skinnedmentality.

There was a time when he rendered a distinct serviceto the Catholic press by keeping the proverbial pot simmer­ing on the back burner. Constructively and consistently, heattempted to bring a needed vision of reality to the develop­ment of American Catholicism. In his given area of scholar­ship, there can be little doubt that he has made significantcontributions to the analysis of the social mores of theAmerican church.

Now all this seems to have gone down the drain.What is currently being spewed forth is a journalistic tiradeof turmoil and trepidation. Overly suspicious and openlyhostile, his credibility and scholarship certainly must becalled into question in judging his current losing streak

.of articles. This indeed is most unfortunate for all con-cerned,

In today's church there exists a definite need for openand honest analysis of the difficulties pertaining to thelife of the church communi~y. But this process should bedevoid of personal invectives and persistent prejudices.The truth has always been best reflected by men andwomen dedicated to objectivity, authenticity and fidelity.It is not well served by divisions, disdain and predeter­mined opinions.

Those who write as churchmen for the church-orientedpress cannot be self-styled dilettantes adhering to thesecular mandate of "publish or perish:" Unfortunately,Andrew Greeley has attempted to fulfill this mandate, re­sulting in a dilution of his real talent as a priest-sociologist.Instead of employing his personal genius in building up thebody of Christ, he seems intent now on tearing it apart.

With this frame t>f mind, what really positive con­tribution can he make to heal the hurts and bind up thewounds that have been inflicted on the church by his lackof sensitivity and his narrowness of vision?

His service to the church is indeed becoming limitedand his advice quite unreliable. He once had great potentialas a guiding light to reality for the American church. Buthis flame now barely seems to flicker as it casts its doubt­ful and dubious shadows.

The problem is not that allthese assertions are false (theyare, by the way), nor is the prob­lem even that the young Jesuitsmake them without a shred ofproof, since my informant re­ports that none of them knowsme or has bothered to read mywork.

The real problem is that theyfeel utterly free to repeat suchthings without considering thepossibility that they ought tosearch for proof. Assertionsabout another priest who ac­quires some kind of notoriety,you see, don't have to be proved.That's half the essence of cleri­cal envy.

The other half is that the en­vious person will never admit,even to himself, that he or sheis motivated by envy. Nor aresuch persons likely to be ac­cused by their colleagues. Theyoung Jesuits assured my infor­mant that they were only inter­ested in the facts of the matter.Envious character assassins?Not them!

It has been argued that oneshould have a thick skin and ig­more such stuff.

No one has a skin that thick.Nor does thick skin protect yourfamily from persecution by such"liberals" as Richard McBrien.My skin is, I think, thicker thanmost. I survive and keep work­ing.

I sometimes wonder howmuch better I would work ifevery time I walked into a rOOmfull of priests I did not have toask myself how many of themare convinced that all the thingsthe young Jesuits (and mostother priests in the country too)have said about me are true.

Bishop Sheen must have knownthe same feeling often, as doesany priest who dares to do any­thing about the norm of clericalmediocrity.

REV.

ANDREW M.

GREELEY

Clerical

The death of ArchbishopFulton Sheen caused me toreflect again on the enor­mous power of clerical envy.I shall leave it to the archbish­op's biographer to sort out theaccomplishments and the trage·dies of his life, noting only thathaving read his early philosophi.cal work I regret that he did notdevelop that aspect of his talentmore. I must deplore, however,the clerical hostility and envy,from both the left wing and theright wing, which Sheen had tosuffer and which undoubtedlycaused him pain and diminishedhis talent and effectiveness.

I have always been intriguedby the inevitable rumor thatspread about a bishop or anarchbishop who achieves somekind of national or internationalpopularity. Invariably one hearsfrom priests something like,"Well, he may get a lot of at­tention outside his own diocese,but his own priests don't likehim at all" - the implicationbeing that the man in questionis therefore somehow deficientas a bishop.

I have twice had occasion tocheck out very carefully theseclerical rumors, once, the ru­mors about Cardinal Leo Suen­ens and another time about anAmerican bishop who presentlywill remain nameless. I had beenassured repeatedly that thesetwo famous and distinguishedmen were unpopular in theirown dioceses.

The truth of the matter, how­ever, was that they were ad­mired by their priests. The ru­mors simply were not true, yetthey were repeated by priestswith apostolic confidence. Ihave learned through a quartercentury in the priesthood not tobelieve anything bad that apriest tells me about any otherpriest.

I have watched the effect ofclerical envy on many priests,including myself, and must con­clude that there is no way to reosist its pernicious effect. Envyis a surefire weapon. It will cer·tainly damage its target. Theonly question is how bad thedamage will be.

There are two reasons for thedevastating impact of envy. Firstof all, the charges the enviousmake are absolutely irrefutable.Let me illustrate. A person Iknow who hangs around theJesuit School of Theology inChicago says that the youngJesuit faculty members thereunanimously agree on the fol­lowing assertions about me: 1)I am not. interested in doingpriestly work, 2) my sociology isnot respected within the pro­fession, 3) I am the richestpriest in the world, 4) I am im­possible to work with and 5) Ikeep a mistress.

our real destiny - union withGod.

Loneliness, because of itspain, can propel us out of self·centeredness and lead us intoconcern for the suffering ofothers, awareness of beauty, thesecurity of new strength, therichness of greater maturity, theopenness to new possibilitiesfor tenderness and love, and toa deeper spiritual peace. Loneli­ness, depending on how we viewit and deal with it, can be a pathto salvation or a season in hell.

When the News published theresults of its survey, what Ifound most interesting was thefinding that the people who dealpositively with loneliness arethose who have a commitmentin life, with a focus, not onthemselves, but on the well­being of others.

On the other hand, the peoplewho deal unsuccessfully withqoneliness are dissatisfiedpeople, turned inward, full offeelings of sadness, self-pity andself-contempt, who respond totheir loneliness passively, bydrinking, staring out a windowand crying. Their results rein­forced what I learned from thespiritual writers and the experi­ence of my own life.

If you belong to a parishgroup, consider taking a tour ofyour chancery office. This canbe extremely effective in mak­ing your diocesan government areality to you and it also en­courages people to be less timidabout calilng when there's aneed.

One of the most enjoyabletalks I've given was when I wasspeaking in a diocese and theeditor of the newspaper askedme to hook on a talk to hisstringers (people from parisheswho send in news). He invited

Next week, we'll visit thechancery office, open it up, andsee all the people . . . includingthe services they can performfor us.

hold a chancery office openhouse so people could meet co­ordinators and directors whootherwise exist on letterheads. Iwould authorize a slide and tapepresentation on what goes oninside that big building down bythe Cathedral.

Not being bishop, I'll give a­primer here. Clip this and nextweek's column and store themalongside soccer schedules, par­ent conference dates, and veter­inarian's number for future ref­erence.

The chancery office is the um·brella name for the variety ofoffices and services offered bythe diocese, much like the ad­ministration offices of a schoolsystem. In some dioceses, it'scalled the Bishop's House and insome, the Pastoral Center. Con·fusion arises because regardlessof its proper name, priests tendto call it the chancery and solaity often think there are twocentral headquarters: one forclergy and one for mysteriousreasons. Whatever it is called,it is usually, but not always,located near the cathedral.

Take time to visit the chan·cery. It's a busy place, filledwith people helping carry outGod's work and word to par·ishes, schools, families, needy,etc. And it's yours, in the samesense that the state and fedeI,:aladministrative offices are yours.You are the chief moral and fi·nancial support of the diocese

tion, in which we feel cut offfrom every other entity, living

. and non-living; and, most devas­tatingly, even from ourselves.Extreme loneliness is the hor­rendous state of being out oftouch, conscious of being totallydisconnected from' all that givesmeaning to life and desperatelyyearning to escape from thisterror.

To experience it, or even thinkit, usually connotes only nega­tives. Yet, since loneliness invarying degrees is so prevalent,and since I have so often per­sonally experienced it and comethrough it healed, I have cometo believe that loneliness musthave a purpose and a positiveside.

I have read the psychologybooks which deal with loneli­ness, giving many valid explana­tions and therapeutic guidelinesfor moving out of this condition.But where I have found thegreatest personal understandingof loneliness and learned itsvalue was in theology, in suchbooks as "The Heart of Man"by Father Gerald Vann, in writ­ings of the saints, like John ofthe Cross and Augustine.

I saw the wisdom in their in­sight that the human heart is ahunger - and there is no nour­ishment on this earth that canfill it completely or permanent­ly. Loneliness is a necessary con­dition of life because it is theone avenue through which wecan rise above trivia, compla­cency and selfishness to reach

Leaving work, I stmck up acasual conversation with a wo­man. Almost immediately, asense of her sadness camethrough as she talked about go­ing home. She saw her life interms of another day of work,another day of going home toan empty apartment and to thebleakness that was her life. "It'snot just me," she said. "Thereare so many lonely people. Imeet them all over -- all thelonely people."

Shortly after that, the NewYork 'News ran a questionnaireunder the heading, "Are YouLonely?" It asked about rela­tionships with their mothers andfathers. It asked them to behonest about boredom, death,their sense of personal attrac­tiveness, their loves and sexlives. It asked individuals to tellhow they dealt with loneliness.It wanted answers to: Who islonely and who isn't? How isloneliness felt? What .di> peopledo when they feel lonely?

It wanted answers because itspremise was that "loneliness isa condition, sometimes electedbut often accidental, that afflictsan ever growing numbE:r of Am­ericans."

We all know that loneliness is.no stranger. Even the psycholo­gists call it a condition of humanlife. When it is extreme, it is,perhaps, the cruelest pain wecan experience because it' iscaused by a descent into isola-

The phone rang. "I'm areader calling long distancefrom Ohio. I'm calling be­cause I don't know whereelse to turn. I need help in con­trolling my teenagers. Theywon't respond to anything I door say. I'm a single parent andI'm really desperate. Can yousuggest any help?"

"Well, maybe," I 10nd. "Idon't know about yo... diocesanservices but most dioceses havea family life office that can atleast recommend help, if notoffer it. Have you called your

, chancery office?""My what?""Chancery office."An expensive pause. "What's

that?""It's the administrative offices

for the diocese, where the bish­ops and various directo:rs work."

"I don't know if we haveone," she responded. "How do Ifind out?"

So once again, I took a callerthrough the process of becomingfamiliar with her own diocesanstructures. Her case isn't rarebut all too common. I've foundmost Catholics are ignorant oftheir own diocese.

If I were bishop (relal{ ... it'snot on my career gOBl1 list). Iwould get an annual Know-Your­Diocese Week during which Iwould ask every priest to preachon terminology, personnel andservices in the diocese. I would

Lyons noted that a large por­tion of the money required forthe building project will comefrom taxfree bonds. He said thatfederal funds formerly' allocatedto hospitals are no longer avail­able.

Of the $1.8 million now need­ed, Berube said that $1.3 millionhave been committed by doctors,employees and friends of thehospital. Friends of St. Anne, thehospital auxiliary, for instance,has pledged $50,000 per year forthe next five years: $125,000 hascome from physicians on thehospital staff and anonymousdonations have totaled $200,000.

Also, he said, there have beenindividual donations, such asthat of $300 from a grateful for­mer patient who wished to con­tribute her share to the "newSt. Anne:'

Richard LaFrance heads a spe­cial gifts committee that willmake personal contacts in thep'rivate and business sectors; andit is expected that there will bea mailing to former hospitalpatients.

HOWTOBEHAPPY

...••

Why not send us your Mass requests now?Simply list the intentions, and then you can restassured the Masses will be offered by priests inIndia, the Holy Land and Ethiopia, who receiveno other income.

Brighten the heart of a blind boy in the GazaStrip (where Samson lived). $3 gives him shoes,$5 clothes, $10 a set of braille readers!.... ..Where there is none in south India, you can builda permanent school for only $4,000. The Bishopwill select the village, supervise constructionand write to thank you. The children will pray foryou, and you may name the school for yourfavorite saint, in memory of someone you love!

When are you happiest? Happiness lies in giv­ing. You're happiest when you give yourself tothe people who need you most....A mother, forinstance, hums with happine5s when she bathesand dresses her baby. A good nurse always hastime for a smile. Good fathers whistle at theirwork....The best sort of giving involves morethan writing checks-still, how better can youhelp the children now who need you overseas?Boys and girls who are blind, lepers, deaf-mutes,orphans-your money gifts, large and small, willfeed them, teach them, cure them, give them achance in life....Want to be happier? Give somehappiness to a child. You'll be happy, too!...••In Marathakara, south India, a young Indian girlin training to be a Franciscan Clarist Sister willlearn, among other things, how to care for or·phans. Her training costs $300 all told ($12.50 amonth, $150.00 a year), a small investment for aSister's lifetime of service. Like to be her spon­sor? We'll send you her name and she will writeto you. • ..

question the physician aboutany unsettling recommendation,just as surely as they wouldquestion a banker, lawyer oreven a used car salesman whoadvised them to make a movewhich would seriously affectthe family.

1\. forthright family membershould accompany the patientto the physician's office or hos­pital, particularly if the patienthas many unanswered questions.Many people, especially whensick, are intimidated by thephysician's office and manner.A family member gives moralsupport and insures that thequestions get asked and an­swered.

When drugs, hospitalization orsurgery are recommended, askpolitely but directly: What is thesuccess rate of the recommend­ed medication or procedure?What are the negative effects?What will happen if we do notfollow your recommendation?On any serious matter, alwaysget a second opinion.

A good rule to follow is nodrugs, no hospital, no surgeryunless absolutely necessary.These are family decisions.Physicians advise. Familiescounsel among the members anddecide.

family nutrition can combat theexcessive sugar, salt and fatcontained in the typical Ameri­can diet.

Attitudes toward drinking,smoking and exercise are mostfirmly instilled, not by spotcommercials or physicians lec­tures, but by the everyday habitsmodeled within the family.

The best preventive medicineis not medicine at all; it is fam­ily. Few physicians emphasizenutrition or lifestyle as a meansto good health. Those few thatdo have only occasional andlimited impact on their patients.Their effectiveness is nowherenear that which the family en­joys through daily habits andpractices.

3. The family should be biasedin its own favor. Home is atemple, the place where impor­tant events most logically be­long. Childbirth and dying areonly sometimes and secondar­ily medical matters. When achild does have to be hospital­ized, at least one family membershould stay with him. That childbelongs to you, not the medicalprofession.

4. Family members should in­form themselves by readingabout the illnesses of familymembers. "The Merck Manual"(on diseases) and the "Physi­cian's Desk Reference" (onmedications) are authpritativeand relatively straightforward.

Good food provides us withendless memories, provoke's dis­cussion and brings good friendstogether. It crosses nationalboundaries and speaks a univer­sal language.

Because I spend much timetrying new recipes for the col­umn and better ways to preparefood, I have met some very in­teresting people who take foodpreparation seriously and enjoynothing more than sharIng anew eating place they have dis­covered or a very special recipethey have happened upon.

Taking a cooking cours,e willvery often bring you into con­tact with these people and makefor a very pleasurable set ofevenings. Over the years I havetaken a bread baking course,and a few in gourmet cooking;and while the courses themselveswere not that spectacular, myfellow students provided a re­freshing cross section of peoplewho enjoyed talking about food.

When my sister-in-law visitsfrom New York, we always en­joy talking about new recipesand she will often bring one ortwo with her and cook them atmy mother-in-law's.

Modern medicine is a wonder­ful blessing for sick people, butit remains an art and a skill. Itoffers no special wisdom in mak­ing the decisions which affectthe human spirit. Medica.l ad­vice needs to be weighed with­in the context of life itself,weighed by .the family whichprovides the very circumstancesand events of life.

Last week we discussed someways medicine has oversteppedits area of expertise and howand why families have encour­aged this. Today we suggestways families and physiciansmight work together, each tak­ing its rightful place in the careof the sick:

1. Families need to look toone another and to friends atthe onset of symptoms."Whatdo you think is wrong? Whatwould you do?"

Research shows that peoplestill do look first to friends andrelatives in times of emotionalcrises. That is as it shoul.d be.Psychologists, psychiatrists andother social agencies shotl.ld bea last resort, consulted onlywhen ordinary resources havefailed.

2. The family, not physicians,not schools, should take respon­sibility for good health habits.Families can strive to serve nu­tritious, health-sustaining foodsat all meals and snacks. Good

and-dried solutions to specificquestions, we do find certainconstants which are valid in anyculture. We find general princi­ples, attitudes, a certain mys­tique which we call the Judeo­Christian ethic. While theseguidelines are clear enough inthemselves, their application toindividual situations is not al­ways simple. One of these prin­ciples is certainly respect for life.

Take family planning. Dopeople have any right to planin an area which might' seem tobe exclusively the province ofthe Creator? And if they do,how should they plan their fami­lies? Are there means which arelicit and others which are illicit?And if one is licit, why" shouldanother be illicit, since bothProduce the same effect?

The people of biblical timessimply did not consider thequestion at all. The only planthey made was to have as manychildren as possible. Childrenwere accounted a blessing, whilechildlessness was considered acurse.

In the culture of the day, thisview made sense. When every­thing had to be done by hand,the more hands there were, thebetter. Long before Social Se­,curity, children were an old ageinsurance. At bottom, begettingof numerous progeny could havebeen as selfish as is the refusal

Principles to live byBy Father John J. Castelot

Many sincere people believethat the Bible furnishes answersfor every conceivable humanproblem. All one has to do isfind the :right message and thepath one should follow becomesunmistakably clear.

The fact is that the Bible wasnever inhmded to provide thisservice and, in many ways, it'~

a good thing that it doesn't. Wewould be reduced to mindlessrobots, nE~ver having to grapplewith life's problems intelligent­ly, freely, responsibly.

The Bible is not a compendiumof moral theology, a handbookof etpics. There are a few :books,likeProvE~rbs and Sirach, whichgive all sorts of specific adviceon a wide range of subjectstouching upon human conduct.But this advice is culturally con­ditioned; it covers many situa­tions which were very real inbiblical times but which strikeus today ,as rather quaint.

Cultures change with time,and in our own day we have ex­perienced problems of which thebiblical writers could not evenhave dreamed.

Hannah wa~ crying. "Whydon't you eat?" asked her hus.band, Elkanah.

They had just come from thetemple at Shiloh. There they hadoffered prayers and sacrifice.Now they were eating the. sac­rificial meal. For most pilgrims,the special meal was a time ofmuch joy.

But Hannah just sat theresobbing. Elkanah knew well whyshe was so sad.

Hannah and Elkanah had nochUdren. She was the only wom­an they knew who was not amother. She felt God did notlove her.

Suddenly Hannah got up fromthe table. She ran back toward

Family planningBy Dan and Eileen Morris

While divorce rates, "openmarriage," living together, andcasual sexual relationships makethe headlines, a profound' trendis growing quietly which has asmuch potential impact on thefuture of family life in thiscountry as the headline-makingdevelopments.

In the face of what appearsto be staggering odds againstsuccessful mariage in a do-it-if­-it-feels-good society, thousandsof young couples are digging intheir heels. Unlike their parentsand even some of their friends,they are not entering marriagewith a simplistic trust thateverything will be O;K.

Less than a generation ago,that attitude toward marriagewas perhaps realistic. Today, itis not. A fluid notion of woman'srole in society and family haswobbled more than one mar­riage. Fidelity is questioned.Child rearing is often entrustedto day-care centers. Childbear­ing in some circles is a socialsin.

"Let's take a hard look atwhat we're getting into and tryt6 prepare for it," many youngcouples are saying. (Some bish­ops are demanding that couplesapply at least six months in ad­vance if they wish to be marriedin church. Sufficient time for in­struction, understanding andpreparation is their concern.)

Couples are asking importantquestions. Po bofu husband andwife have career plans? If so,does this preclude children? Forhow long? If and when theywant children, will the motherquit work temporarily, or a fewyears, or indefinitely?

Is it fair for a man to de­mand that his wife throw yearsof schooling out the window tostay home with their children?

sons" to avoid procreation.These may be economic, physi­caly, psychological, or evengenetic reasons.

Many couples have sufficientreasons for at least a temporarypractice of natural family plan­ning but are beset by two kindsof fear:

1. The fear that natural fam­ily planning' will weaken theirmarriage relationship. But some­how the sacrifice of physicalpleasure bears spiritual fruit. In

know yo~r faithHow much do we care?

By Father Donald McCarthy

The Catholic Church favorsbirth control. Does that soundstartling?

Even though Pope Paul VIin his encyclical, Humanae Vi­tae, renewed the church's an­cient, continuous condemnationof contraception, he spoke infavor of "responsible parent­hood;" which implies "birth con­trol."

He wrote, "Responsible par­enthood is exercised, either bythe deliberate and generous de­cision to raise a numerous fam­ily, or by the decision, made forgrave motives and with due reospect for the moral law, toavoid for the time being, or evenfor an indeterminate period, anew birth."

Many contemporary couplesare struggling with the agoniz­ing question of how to controlbirths "with due respect for themoral 'Jaw" in their method offamily planning.

Twentieth century scientificand medical ingenuity has con­tinually improved the chemical~nd mechanical contraceptivemethods which attempt to pre­vent the act of marital inter­course from leading to the con­ception of a new human being.

But Catholic teaching has his­torically forbidden such tamper­ing wit. the act of conjugallove. It respects this act of lovealmost as much as the new hu­man life that may be conceivedin it.

Church teaching, as repeatedby Pope Paul, insists that anti­procreative intervention intoconjugal acts violates the integ­rity those acts are meant to havein the divine design and cor­rupts them in a moral sense.Medical 'science is now upcover­ing mounting evidence that con­traceptive pills "corrupt" themarital act in a physical senseas well, doing great harmthrough dangerous side effects.

However, couples who havesufficient reasons to delay oravoid parenthood are free tochoose to avoid expressing theirlove in conjugal intercourseduring the relatively infrequenttimes that such acts are natur­ally fertile. This is natural fam­ily planning.

However, even this would beimmoral if undertaken for animmoral reason, namely, a self­ish exclusion of the responsibil­ity and privilege of parenthood.Pope Paul cited in his statementabove the need for "grave rea-

The happy day finally came.She gave birth to a son. Shenamed him Samuel. She was thehappiest woman in Ramah thatday. Elkanah was proud to be afather, too.

When Samuel was three yearsold, Hannah and her husbandtook him with them to thetemple. Hannah searched outEli, the priest. "Do you remem­ber me?" she asked him. "I wasthe weeping woman who stoodnear you praying one day sev­eral years ago. You thought Iwas drunk. I prayed then for achild. The Lord heard my prayer.This is our son, SamueI."

Eli took the child by the hand.Hannah continued, "I promisedthe Lord that day to dedicate tohim the child he would give me.Today I give back Samuel tothe Lord who gave him to me. Idedicate my boy to the Lord'sservice for the rest of his life."

to have children in many casestoday.

'But this refusal is not alwaysa sign of egocentric pleasure­seeking. It is as much cultural­ly conditioned as was theBiblical desire for big families.

Many principles come intoplay in this matter. But the basicone is that of love. This shouldbe the determining factor infamily planning: love of God, ofcourse, but more immediately,mutual love of husband andwife, and love for the prospec­tive children. The resolution ofthis issue will not always beeasy, but with love and genuineconcern, it will be attained.

Commenting on parental life­styles, Franciscan Father BruceRitter, director of CovenantHouse residences in New YorkCity for runaways, sa·id: "Some­times a child's only hope is achange of family lifestyle. May­be the mother will have to giveup a job. Maybe they'll have togive up a place at the lake . . .hut if they won't make the ef­fort to see that a child gets thesupport, love and direct super­vision that he or she needs, thenall the money in the world isn'tgoing to make any difference."

How Much?•Continued from Page Twelve

But during the same years inwhich medical research pro­duced the contraceptive pill, ithas tremendously improved thereliability of natural methods offamily planning. The fact thatmany Planned Parenthoodagencies teach natural familyplanning indicates increased con­fidence in this method. Couplesproperly instructed and mutual­ly committed to the naturalmethod need have no fearsabout its reliability.

Hence the ministry of teachingnatural family planning and theeffort to learn it both manifesta profound care for marriageand family life.

Then she prayed, "0 Lord,look with pity on me. I so wantto have a baby. If you give mea child, I promise to dedicatethe infant to you."

Hannah prayed a long time.A priest named Eli was sittingnearby. He thought she wasdrunk because she was movingher lips but saying nothing outloud.

"How long are you going tostand here drunk?" Eli said toher. "Go home and sober upfrom your wine."

"I've had no wine," Hannahanswered. "I am a very unhappywoman. I was pouring out mytroubles to the Lord. I beggedhim to give me a child."

Eli was impressed with Han­nah's trust in God. "Go inpeace," he said. "May the Godof Israel grant what you haveasked of him."

Not long after Elkanah andHannah went home, Hannahknew that the Lord had heardher prayer. She was pregnant.She counted the days until herbaby would be born.

In this song, Bob Dylan presents a montage of lifestyles, voca­tions, ·and aspirations. He plainly says that no matter what yourstate, real happiness can only be found by looking to the needs ofothers.

Experience tells us that Dylan's challenge is true. Those whochoose a life centered upon narrow interests or who indicate littleconcern for others often find life empty.

Those of us who are attempting to live as Christians have aspecial task -in freeing others from fears. In Dylan's analogy, wehave chosen to serve the Lord. This choice implies a commitmentto help obers realize their best selves. Christians are called to serveby inviting others to -value their own gifts and to share them withothers.

We must take our commitment to service seriously. Perhapsthis can be our most effective way of serving - affirming othersin a way that frees them to contribute their gifts to a needy world.

VATICAN CITY (NC, - Asthe Particular Synod of DutchBishops moved into its finaldays, the focus of attention wasa proposal which could open thedoor to the naming of additionalconservative-minded bishops.

The proposal calls for creationof three to six new dioceses.

The cu.rrent liberal-conserva­tive split in the Dutch hierarchyis· five to two in favor of theliberals. The naming of addition­al bishops is aimed at an equaldivision i:rl the number of liber­als and conservatives.

The proposal was revealed ina summary released by the Vati­can, and was believed to havebeen made by Cardinal Sebas­tiano Baggio, prefect of the Vati­can Congregation for Bishops,and strongly opposed by at leastthree Dutch bishops who areconsidered liberals.

The three were said to beBishops Johannes W. M. Bluy­ssen of s'Hertogenbosch, Theo­dorus HE~nricus Zwartkruis ofHaarlem and Hubertus C. A.Ernst of Breda.

Along with Cardinal Jan Wil­ilebrands of Utrecht and BishopJohannes B. Moler of Groningen
