Rwandans' dr0wD, "in blood, lalnentsVatican newspaper
VATICAN.CITY (CNS) - Thepeople of Rwanda "an: drowningin their own blood" while theinternational community discussesthe situation but does little aboutit, the Vatican newspaper said.
"The image of a swipling river,carrying life mangled, torn to pieces and killed, stops the heart, "said a front-page editorial in L'Osservatore Romano.
Tens of thousands of bodieshave floated down the Kagera Riverto Lake Victoria in Uganda.
"It is one thing to hear aboutmassacres; it is another to see 'pieces' of a horrible genocide. Andthese pieces are mutilated humanbodies. The heart stops," said thearticle signed by Mario Agnes,director of the newspaper.
"Compassion has drowned.Cruelty wins. The lords of bloodand horror dominate Rwanda,"wrote Agnes.
The brutal murders of thousandsof children, caught in ethnic warfare fanned by partisan politicalinterests, should remind the world'of King Herod's slaughter of theHoly Innocents, he said.
Those seeking dominance andrevenge feel they must kill thechildren; "they need to kill thefuture of this people." Anges said.
"And in the face of this horror,what are those who have theirhands on the helm of world political events doing? They discuss itaround this table or that one," hesaid.
"Along with the murdered men,women and children, the river iscarrying away the consciences ofthose who can and must stop theslaughter," the editorial said. .
Peace will not come to Rwandaunless the international community take action and insists that thekilling stop, he said.
But what is more, he said, theworld must ask itself why it continues to sell arms to so many different peoples in Africa.
History has already judged thoseinvolved in the killing, Agnes said,but the judgment of God will bemore severe.

byterian-Baptist household. Wuthnow found little difference betweenCatholic and Protestant partil:ipation in support groups.
"The biggest difference betweenProtestants and Catholics was thatmore of the former belonged toSunday school classes or to Biblestudy groups. whereas more of thelatter belonged to special interestgroups." such as discussion groupson cu~rent events. book discussiongroups and sports and hohbygro.uPs.,Wuthnow wrote.
."The solution is constantly' tel be'drawing small-group members backi1ntothe life of the church wit:~ abalarll;edprogram," he added.
Another danger that especia.llyaffects Bible study groups is ::orthem to dissolve into sessions atwhich participants talk only aboutthe stresses in their lives ratherthan about the Bible. Such groupsoften have leaders who are "preuytheologically uninformed and undisciplined as far as the traditionsof the church go." Wuthnow said.
The most effective' Bible studygroups, he said, combine Biblestudy and sharing in equal measure, sometimes separated by a"break to shift gears."
"Leading a group as a pastor ormember is not an easy task."Wuthnow said. He urged tho~;e
taking on the task to rely on theleadership seminars offered byvarious denominations. as well ason the many manuals, books andvideotapes available on leadingsmall groups.
Wuthnow. who had suspected thatonly 20 percent to 25 percent of allAmericans participated in supportgroups.
As a religious phenomenon.support groups may already behaving a greater effect on AmericaT\s than their church-going habits. Wuthnow believes.
"As a result. Pro~estants tendedto be in groups that were somewhat smaller. met more often andpr~yed, mo·re. regularly. whereasCa'tI,1olics tended to be irigroups

But there is a danger of smallgroups becoming divisive if, forexample. "you have the Pax Christigroup meeting over here and thecharismatic renewal group over!here.... Wuthnow said.
Surveys have shown that about40 percent of the U.S. populationgoes to church or synagogue inany given week, roughly equal tothe number participating in support groups. "But since the average small group lasts one-and-ahalf to two hours. and the averagechurch service about an hour. moretime is being spent in the smallgroups." he said.

WASHINGTON (CNS) - Thefuture of religion in America mayrest in support groups rangingfrom prayer fellowships and Biblestudy groups to 12-step groupslike Alcoholics Anonymous andcommunity organizations like theCub Scouts. according to a Princeton sociologist.
Professor Robert Wuthnowand'15 researchers spent over three
. years iooking at support groupsaround the country and their mem-
·b~rs. The result i is "Sha.ripg the,Journey: Support Groups andAl11er,ica's New Quest for Comm.lmity."published ,recently by. Thl:, FreePress. and a companion volumecalled "Small Groups and SpirituaJ.ity." due out later this year..
"There's no question that thefuture of religion will involve small
·groups." Wuth'now said in an interview.,with Catholic News Ser-
·vice. "All the newer churches. andthe churches that are growing,have small groups."
, The glue that binds togethersmall groups is that they provide"support and caring" for theirmembers. Wuthnow said.
A 1991 survey of 1,900 randomlyselected Americans. conducted forhim by the Gallup Institute in1991. found that 40 percent participate in a small group. and thatabout two-thirds of the groupshave a spiritual or religious orientation. Fifty-seven percent of smallgroups are officially sponsored bya church or synagogue.

The New CatechismF:or many Catholics in the United States, the very word
"catechism" sends a negative signal. How many still recallmemorizing questions and answers like some mechanicaldevice! Very little time was spent on really understandingthem; in fact, rote memory was the stuff of religion classes.
Somehow, the more responses you could cram into yourmemory, the better seemed to be your chance of personalsalvation.. God help a child who could not chant back the 12fruits of the Holy Spirit or the six commandments of theChurch. Such failures practically put one beyond the hope ofheaven.
As a result, many could recite faith facts but faulty teachingmethods produced confusion in actual practice because littleemphasis was laid on applying religious principles to dailyliving. . .., . .
As we attempt to correct our notion Qfcatechism,it wouldbe well to remember that its. original me~ning referred to oralinstruction. The Greek root of catechism refers to resonance orecho, and in the Acts of tile Apostles, Luke uses the~verb in thesense of instructing in the way 'of the Lord. The' writings ofPaul also clearly refer to oral instruction in the handing on ofall that had been received from the Lord.
Indeed, for centuries catechetical instruction remained anoral matter. It was not until the invention of the printing pressthat it took book form, remaining the mainstay of religiouseducation for four centuries. For most American Catholics,knowledge of their faith was shaped by tile famous BaltimoreCatechism. First published at the end of the 19th century, itremained the flagship of .U.S. catechetical ttexts until theSecond Vatican Council.' .
But as time went on, it became clear that the Church needed.a better tool and better methodology to bring the unchangingtruth of revelation into a relevant context. The new Catechism
. of the Catholic Church is nothing iike-that of Baltimore. It isreally the first"official war king·. manua,lefGlliurch· doctrine in
.400 years. .:' ., •. , ,; .
Not a replacement for the old question and answer format, itis intended as a universal and standard reference work to guideclergy, preachers, teachers and educators in their mission ofpassing on the Good News. It is.also meant to be a readablebook uniting the Catholic family in their understanding ofChurch teaching. Often the rapid and confusing changes that,so unsettled the people of God after Vatican II were ,alsodivisive. It is hoped that the new catechism will help eradicatereligious illiteracy and dispel the fuzziness so often at the heartof theologicalcontroversy.
To be sure, critics will attack this new teaching tool as toorigid and static. Others will be upset because they will find in itlittle support for their subjective theological reflections.
This said', the new catechism is a needed pastoral instriIment. There is nothing wrong in uniformity as to thought andteaching; what cbuntsisthe "how" of presentation.
Fortunately, the. catechi~m<felies heavily:on.Scriptural references in summarizing teachings, as well as on the Fathers ofthe Church and the wonderful writings ofthe Eastern churches.Rooted firmly in revelation and the handing' on of the Word,let us pray that it will be an effective tool for use in the Church'sunceasing mission ,to rene~ the fCice of th,eearth. .

No scholar I know of has eversuggested that the law you quote isin any way contrary to the previous liturgical norms. It is rathera strong support and clarificationof those norms. As I explained,churches which follow Catholicguidelines on placement of thealtar and tabernacle are not "hiding" the tabernacle.
Rather than making prayerbefore our Lord in the Eucharistdifficult, such regulations attemptto honor all aspects of our eucharistic life (sacrifice, sacrament andveneration) in the manner ,theydeserve.

Q. In our Scriptun: session thequestion was raised: What doesthe Creed mean when it says Jesusdescended into hell? (Ohio)
A. Our word hell comes from anold Teutonic word, "hela," whichmeans a hidden or covered place.I n earlier English usage it meantany kind of a pit or dark hole.
The word is a translation of aLatin (and Greek and Hebrew)term which means the lower regions, a name for the place wherepeople go after death, withoutregard for any condition of rewardor punishment.
Our language is always changing, of course. Today's meaning ofthe word is considerably different.Its appearance in the English Apostles' Creed, however, is now sotraditional that a change is notlikely.
Q. Could I follow up on youranswer to the ques'lion about theplacement ofthe tabernacle for theveneration of the Eucharist?
You referred to several churchdocuments saying the tabernacleshould be in a separate room fromthe body of the church.
A friend of mine said she saw ina Catholic newspaper that presentchurch law contradicts what yousaid. She showed me a quote fromcanon law which says the tabernacle should be in a part of thechurch that is prominent, conspicuous, beautifully decorated andsuitable for prayer.
She showed me a clipping thatsaid it is no lonl:er legal for thetabernacle to be hidden or hard tofind, or which makes no provisionfor private devotion. What do Ianswer? (Kentuclty)
A. It has never been legal for thetabernacle to be hidden, or hard tofind, which makes no provisionfor private devotion. In fact, everyCatholic regulation on this matteris to encourage and make moreauthentic all our Eucharist-centeredworship and prayer.
As I indicated in the column towhich you refer, that has alwaysbeen true, including in those documents, such as the Roman Missal, which provide for a separatearea, even a st:parate room, forreservation of t.he Blessed Sacrament for prayer.
The new codt: of canon law doesnot remove that provision. Thevery beginning of the code (canon

How wise of you to supportyour children's efforts. I don't knowwhy you object to babysitting andlawn mowing, as these two jobsstill furnish spending money formany a young entrepreneur.
Babysitting and lawn mowingcan be run as serious businesses tothe benefit of the young workersand the customers.

Babysitters might organize a service in which one member takesphone requests and assigns jobsfor all participants. In this way sitters can indicate in advance whenthey are available, and customerscan get a sitter with one phone call.

People may not have beenfamiliar with her name prior toPresident Clinton's inaugurationwhen she delivered her poem, "Onthe Pulse of Morning." ,
As we waited for Ms. Angelou'sappearance at the hotel, one mighthave expected her to begin her talkwith a poem. Instead, it was asong, "When it looked like the sunwasn't gonna shine any more, therewas a rainbow in the clouds..."
She sang in a rich, powerfulmezzo. From then on we heardabout "rainbows" from this incredibly talented woman, who is also abest-selling author, teacher, civilrights worker, singer and actress.

, today's.'work'&r, ~I cannot help butrecall my altar:boy days when Iwould wonder why so many businesspersons went to the 5:30 morning Mass before going to work.One day I picked up Hillaire Belloc's book, "The Path to Rome,"and got my answer.
It is the story of Belloc's pilgrimage by foot from France toRome. Every morning he went toMass. He explained why:
"For half-an-hour just at theopening of the day you are silentand recollected, and have to puioff cares, interests and passions...This must certainly be a greatbenefit to the body and give ittone.
"The surroundings incline youto good and reasonable thoughts,·and for the moment deaden therasp and jar of that busy wickedness which both working in one'sself and received from others is thetrue source of all human miseries.Thus the time spent at Mass is likea short repose...
"The most important cause ofthis feeling of satisfaction is thatyou are doing what the humanrace has done for thousands ofyears. This is a matter of suchmoment that I am astonished people hear of it so little."
The search for new scientificways to find quiet and. peace is. onbecause so many people are waking up in the morning only to wishit had never arrived.
The times are calling us to take acloser look at the benefits of themorning or noonday Mass. Centuries of solid tradition prove it isstill our best means for achievingrefreshment and a sense of beingwell-grounded, along with peaceof mind, during the workday.
Spiritual recharging

By Father Eugene Hemrick
Why do most mornings, nomatter the day of the week, feellike;:t dreaded Monday? How oftendo we get up and drag a sluggish,unwilling body through the motionsof getting ready for work?
Once the body's batteries arerecharged we stick it into our caror onto a bus or train and begin itsdaily draining process. By noon,tight sched ules, ringing phones,cramped office space, stale air and .a glaring video monitor have allbut drained us.
Coffee drinkers or cigarettesmokers will use these habits torecharge themselves, even thoughthey have repeatedly vowed to quitand hate using these products.Some of us promise ourselves wewill take a walk at lunch, but seldom do.
We remind ourselves of the sim- .pie water cooler exercise of gettingup perio.dically and taking a refreshing break with the best drinkever created. We quickly learn thatdistractions make this exercisemuch more difficult than it seems.
These are the facts of the dailyworkday. Ever since the scientificage began, studies have been conducted on how to change things atwork.
Last summer the Environmental Protection Agency came upwith a way to succeed. It created aquiet room, described as "a simplepeaceful room, without the symb91s ofany religion, where employees may go and be still from time,to time. Conversations and nonsensical disturbances are inappropriate."
"Some people smoke, somepeople jog. The quiet room isanother way to deal with the stresspeople feel in a positive way," saysEduardo Rodela, a program analyst with EPA.

Pastors told 4 D'sof blocking theft
Full Contribution"A man who has reformed him
self has contributed his full sharetoward the reformation of hisneighbor." - Norman Douglas
BROOKLYN, N.Y. (CNS) Some thieves see religious institu~
tions as "easy marks.... BrooklynBorough President Howard Goldentold a security seminar for areareligious leaders.
"Thefts ofvaluable artifacts fromchurches, synagogues, mosquesand other places of worship are aneveryday reality," Golden said.
Police Det. Richard Capobiancooutlined "four D's" of blockingcrime - deter, deny, delay, detect- and suggested a wide range oftactics to make theft or robberyfrom religious institutions moredifficult.
"There are simple things youcan do yourself, and you don'teven have to be a security expert,"he said. "The secret is hardeningthe target."
His suggestions ranged fromkeeping cash on hand in lockedsafes to installing fences, deadboltlocks on doors, grating or bars onwindows and skylights, outdoorsecurity lighting and closed-circuittelevision cameras.
He urged those responsible forchurch property to mark officeequipment and valuables withidentification numbers.
He also urged them to maintainsecure, separate documentary filesof valuables, including photographs aQd purchase records orappraisals.
Use of simple identification procedures for couriers, utility workersand other service personnel willdeny entry to thieves who usethose ploys to gain access to abuilding, he said.

have a chance to be born, thenyou've got to help the child have adecent life to the 'extent that government can do that.
Q. What do. you think ahoutanother life issue that ha. been inthe headlines lately, Dr. Kevorkian and this movement for assistedsuicide? A number of states havetried to make that legaJ.
A. It's a logical progressionbecause life has become very cheap.And once life becomes subject tothe whim of any outside force as isthe case with abortion or assistedsuicide none of us is safe,-no life. issafe, What's next? Who'S" next?Elderly people? People who havephysical disabilities?
Q. What about the Democraticparty? You've often said they aredead wrong on abortion. Do yousee a role for yourself after yourgovernorship ends, with your party,trying to make differences?
A. I sure hope so. Look at thatbutton back there. (The buttonsays, "I'm a pro-life Democrat andI want my party back!") What Ihave said to the Democratic partyis you claim to be the protector ofthe powerless. That'-s been yourself-declared mission, that's theonly reason I'm in this party, andyou have protected everybody, thestatus of women,' the rights ofAfrican-Americans and otherminorities. the rights of children,the rights of handicapped people,they were never left as a matter ofchoic'e. They were mandated ifyouwill by an intrusive government. Aperfect curn;nt example is themedical and family leave issue. I'min favor of that.
The same people that_are advocatingchoice on the abortion issuehave said to the employers andbusiness owners of this countrywhether you Jike it or not, whetherit costs you money or Qot, whetherit disrupts your business or not,we're going to force you to enableyour employees to take leave incases of illness in members of theirfamily. And we're going to makeyou keep a spot open for them....It's the right thing to do.
The fundamental obligation ofgovernment is to protect the livesand safety of its own people andthe Democratic Party has been thechampion of the powerless through.:out its entire history. We havebeen a country which historically
Q. How do you balance as agovernor your own ideal aboutabortion when abortion 15 legaland you have constituents wholike the f.ct abortion is legal?
A. In a democracy we can alwayschange the Constitution. We don'thave to accept it. We have to abideby it and obey it while it's in effect.And 1 have done that as governor... but that is not to say that youcannot make changes that are consistent with a constitutional interpretation. For example, the Webster case is an example; [and] ourcase, the Pennsylvania case. Wenow have in this state a new lawwhich says there must bea 24-hourwaiting period following an explanation ofthe procedure and therisks. We have a book that is givento every woman that wants to havean abortion. We have a compendium of names and addresses oforganizations that point out wherewomen can go for other help andservices, whether it's adoption, anexplanation of their rights, helpwith employment, help with nutrition, whatever they need. Onceyou say the child has a right to
encyclical.. .. It's part of the natu- .ral law that human beings whoconceive another human beingshould not kill that human being.
... In 1973 when Justice Blackmun with the stroke of a pen rewrote and repealed all the laws ofmost of the states in this countrythat said abortion is a felony or acrime - and made it not only nota crime but a' consitutional rightfound nowhere in the language ofthe Constitution _. he short·circuited the history of this countryon the issue and took that issueaway from the people. The peopleof this country do not supportabortion on demand. The prochoice people would like very muchto debate this issue {onlyj on religious terms because they take avery secular view of the world.They want to take any kind ofabsolute moral judgment, or anykind of r:eligious belief out of thepubl'ic dialogue. Religion hasalways informed the political debate of this country.... One of themost dogmatic statements ever puton paper runs something life this:"We hold tbese truths to be selfevident." Truths. They don't changefrom year to year. They're not subject to the whims or the fancy of ageneration or even a century.
since I had the surgery., .. Theoret·ically, there's always a chance ofrejection, but in my case up to nowand it's almost a year, there hasbeen no rejection whatsoever.
What about your conviction thatabortion is wrong. Does that comefrom your faith as a Catholic?Your family uphringing? Did youalways have that conviction?
A. Yes. I always did. The firsttime this became a public issue inthis country was J966. I was then acandidate for governor, and I wasopposed to abortion. I don't thinkanybody - mother. father. clergyman .- had ever talked to meabout abortion up to that point.The reason for that is ~ and I havethought about this - there'was avirtual consensus. Most states inthis nation, most legislatures inthis country, made up of Catholics, Protestants, Jews, atheists,agnostics, and every other strandof religion you can think of, hadarrived at a consensus that the tak·ing of the life of an unborn childwas abhorrent ... not by edict ofany church, not by any papal
Q. Now that you have beenthrough this operation, has it givenyou any Insight perhaps inlo healthcare reform? What ahout the wholeidea of rationing?
A. 1 think in every version ofevery health care plan I've seen thetransplantation option is alwayscovered. The reason for that iswhile'each individual procedure isvery expensive, measured againstthe total health care expenditure itis a very, very minuscule percentage, I think less than I percent.. .. Idon't expect to see it eliminated inany of the plans that are currentlybeing considered.... My own experience has given me a much moreheightened appreciation for theimportance of maintaining qualityof care. If we think we can justreduce costs arbitrarily and sacrifice quality of care, I am not infavor of that because that wouldbe totally counterproductive, Acorollary to that is that ... wemaintain that commitment toresearch.... There's somuch geneticresearch going on now. You canlist one disease after anotherthought to be incurable and all ofasudden because of genetic advances now becoming curable.
Q. Do you still have limits onwhat you can do in te"ms of aworkday or are you b_ck to anormal schedule? 'I
A. I am back to just, about afulltime schedule. Ther¢ are norestrictions. I mean, I've got a 34year-old ticker, OK? It works verywell. It's still a 62'year-old bodybut the heart is 34 years old. Andthe liver is good. I feel very good.I'm ready to go. For a l while Iwould get tired in the middle of theday; lhat doesn't happen anymore.By 10 otclock at night rm tired... but everybody else is tob. Therewas just one slight hint of tejection
Q. Did you ever go .hrough aphase of questioning why Ihis washappening to you? !
A. No, I never got i~to that. Ihad no complaints. I went through56 years of life ... perfeFt health.played sports. did everything I
- ever wanted to do. Thef.e days, Imean, there are kidsand1they're ininfancy, you know, some don'teven get a chance to be biOrn. Kidsdie from leukemia 5. 6 tears old,so if you get 56 good ~ears youhave no complaints. I di4n't reallyget into that "why meT' ~,business.It's counterproductive, anyway. Itdoesn't solve anything. i

Q. In terms of the surgery thatyou went through, did you findyour faith helped you throughthat?
A. Oh sure.... Because of theway the whole thing unfolded - IgOt a chance to talk to a doctorwho had an answer to my problem- I felt, and I said this many timesat the time. the Lord carried me tothat point and when the operationcame ...

Most youth are looking for justthat - something positive - shepointed out, and she has spoken tojunior high members of the parishyouth group, encouraging them to"get involved in anything they canwhen they get into high school. Beactive in the parish."
Churches have plenty to offer;sometimes kidsjust need an invitation, she said. "They need to becontinually welcomed."
Both youth and adults benefitfrom teens' participation in parish.life, Mary Beth added, since working together forges better understanding between generations.
"Adults can be hung up on negatives about kids. Good kids canbe overlooked" if they fail to drawattention to the good they're capable of doing, she pointed out.
As a member of the parish'sconfirmation retreat team, composed of both youth and adults,Mary Beth said she observed that,"we learn from the adults and theylearn from us too - their mindsopen up to seeing the good inkids."
Breaking !.tereotypes teens andad ults have of one another was theaim of another of Mary Beth'sundertakings this year as one ofthree youth presenters of a workshop at the diocesan religious education convention in September.
The teens, not listed in the workshop program, appeared "dressedlike thugs - in leather jackets andripped jeans," Mary Beth recounted.
Not surprisingly, the audiencewas not impressed. "We got funnylooks. People made assumptionsabout us," said Mary Beth. Theyweren't take:n seriously until theywere introduced as presenters byan adult advisor.
That program, she said, madethe teachers more conscious that"they might pass [a student] overwithout realizing it." The teensgave the teachers "a kid's view ofhow adults treat us" and askedthat they "give a little more toreach out" to the student whoseems not to want to be there."That kid needs attention."

Mary Beth Rausch graduatesSunday from Somerset High witha resume that reads like that of atypically busy teen: school newspaper, marching band and chorus,member of a peer leadership groupthat does anything from warningjunior high students about thedangers of drugs to entertainingnursing home residents with a"senior citizen prom." She waseven Somerset's queen for a weekduring October's Musictown Festival.
But all of these things need to bekept in perspective, she says, andfor her that perspective is herCatholic faith. Through involvement in her home parish, St.Patrick's in Somerset, and as amember of the diocesan YouthMinistry Council, she has beenoutspoken among her peers andadUlts about gl~tting teens involvedin the church.
A folk group member and firstgrade CCD teacher at St. Patrick's,she was nominated as a sophomore to represent the parish atCLI, the weeklong Christian Leadership Institute offered each summer by the Diocesan Office forCatholic Youth Ministry to trainteens for leadership roles in theirparishes.
"It's a good experience and itgives you the skills' to put thingstogether" when organizing eventsand to motivate peers, said MaryBeth, whose advice to youth seeking church involvement is "if there'sa youth group, definitely join. Ifthere isn't one, you could startone."
If there are no specific youthactivities, she added, there are always plenty of opportunities forvolunteering at church functionsor in outreach projects such assoup kitchens in which youth arecertainly welcome.
"I think kids sometimes feelthreatened -- that organized religion is too demanding and it doesn'tlook like fun," said Mary Beth."But it's all what you put into itwhen you get involved. I feel Ihave a strong faith which helps meto grow as a person and gives me asense of doing something good

Commenting on the proposedVatican document on the Holocaust, Navarro-Valls said it wasnot discussed during the Jerusalem meeting. He said he did notknow how close it was to completion.
"It will not be an easy documentto write," he said. "It will involvenot just theological issues, butmust include historical judgments."
Navarro-Valls said the ,;hurch'scontempt for all forms of antiSemitism was "clearly expressed"in its new "Catechism of theCatholic Church" and in the pope'smany strong statements.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -More than 350 years after condemning astronomer GalileCi Galilei as a heretic, the Vati<:an ishonoring him with a stamp.
The stamp, which went on saleMay 31, has a portrait of thesci(:ntist in the middle of or::>itingrings of planets and scientificinstruments.
InOctober 1992 PopeJohn Paul1\ formally acknowledged that thechurch erred when it condemnedGalileo for defending as fa(:t theCopernican theory that the earthrevolved around the su'n. Th,: theory was not accepted for an,:>ther100 years.
The astron~merwas found guiltyof heresy in 1633 because it wasthought that his views contradictedScripture.
In acknowledging the church'serror, Pope John Paul said the17th-century theologians and prelates judging Galileo relied on anoverly literal interpretation of theScriptures to insist that the earthwas the fixed center of the universe.
NEW YORK (CNS) - PopeJohn Paul II - who in 1986qe.1ighted millions 9Y calling Jews"our elder brothers" in faith -saidin a recent Parade magazine interview that he began thinking ofJews in those terms as a child inPoland.
The interview in the weeklynational magazine focused on PopeJohn Paul's views of Jews andJudaism and on the state of Israeland Vatican-Israeli relations.
In it the pope said the Holy Seehad recognized the right of Jews toa homeland "from the outset," andthe Vatican's recent decision toestablish diplomatic relations withIsrael simply affirms that relation-ship. '
It quoted '~im as saying in theinterview, "We trust that with theapproach of the year 2000, Jerusalem will become the city of peacefor the entire world and that all thepeople will be able to meet there,in particular the believers in thereligions that find their birthrightin the faith of Abraham;"
The three great monotheisticreligions, Judaism, Christianity and
,Islam, claim spiritual roots inAbraham.
Parade foreign editor Tad Szulc,author of the article, said he askedthe pope about his relations withJews and Israel at the end of aprivate lunch at the Vatican.
Szulc, who was born in Polandand is writing a biography of thepope;' ~aid the 'pope' agreed toanswer his questions but ','chose toreply in writing, presumably because of the sensitivity of thetheme."

-----------------,-Pope discusses Catholic~Jewish ties
VATICAN CITY (CNS) While confirming its contempt foranti-Semitism, the Vatican hasdownplayed reports that a docu- 'ment it is preparing on the Holocaust would be a historic admission ofguilt by the Catholic Churchin the extermination of Jews.
The document: first announcedby Pope John Paul 1\ in 1987, isstill in its initial stages, but receivedmajor press coverage followingreports about its contents fromJerusalem, where an internationalCatholic-Jewish group met in lateMay.
Although the Vatican's Commission for Religious Relationswith the Jews has been working ona document on the Holocaust andanti-Semitism for several years, a'draft has not yet been publishedVatican sources said.
"The only document about the'Holocaust 'or anti-Semitism referred to during the meeting of theInternational Catholic-Jewish Liaison Committee in Jerusalem wasa project under preparation by theGerman bishops' conference inconsultation with the Polish bishops," said Vatican spokesmanJoaquin Navarro-Valls. ,
Journalists familiar with theGerman bishops' projected document said it is in its fourth draft,with a fifth draft not expected'before the end of the year.

ROME (CNS) ~ Cardinal Bernard F. Law of Boston and threeother English-speaking bishops metPope John Paul II last week inRome's Gemelli hospital for aformal presentation of the Englishedition' of the "Catechism of the'Catholic Church." ,
The amount of time taken totranslate the catechism is a sign 0'[the importance the church gives toits content and to the need for"transmitting an exact formulationof the Christian m'essage and thechurch's teaching," the pope saidin a May 27 written message.
Cardinal Law said the messagewas read to bishops from the Uni~
ted States, Canada, Great Britain,Australia, India and other countries during a meeting with Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of theVatican Congregation for the Doctrine of t~e Faith.
Cardinals Ratzinger and Law,with three other bishops, then wentto the hospital to present the popewith special1y bound copies of thecatechism.
"He was in a much better statethan I would have suspected hewould have been after such a longhospitalization. He was himself,"Cardinal Law said.
The pope left the hospital shortlyafter the visit after a four week stayfor treatment of a broken thighbone., Cardinal Law, speaking for the
other bishops, thanked the popefor the catechism.

minded Anglicans that the churchopposed women's' ordination forseveral fundamental reasons: theexample of Christ in choosingmale apostles, the constant practice of both Catholic and Orthodoxchurches, and the magisterium;sconsistent teaching on the matter.
He noted that Pope Paul's teachings were authoritatively explainedin the 1976 document, "InterInsigniores," issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of theFaith. That document added theological reasons against women'sordination and showed that Christ'sway of acting was not due to sociological or cultural motives, he said.
Pope John Paul also reviewedhis own teaching on the subject,particularly the point that Christacted freely and that hi,s 12 apostles received a special function inthe church, one that could not beexercised by any other member.
The papal letter emphasized thatthe nonadmission of women to thepriesthood "cannot mean that womell are oflesser dignity, nOl' can itbe construed as discriminationagainst them." This is shown by,the fact that Mary, the mother ofChrist, received neither the mission of the apostles or the ministerial priesthood, he said.
The presence and role of womenin the church remain "absolutely'necessary and irreplaceable," hesaid. The Vatican's own 1976 document said the role of women is ofcapital importance for the humanization of society and for the goodof the church, he pointed out.
"The New Testament and thewhole history of the church giveample evidence of the presence inthe church- of 'women, true disciples, witnesses to Christ in thefamily and in society, as well as intotal consecration to the service of
'God and of the Gospel," he said.,A statement issued by the Vati
can press office attempted to putthe pope's letter in perspective,saying it was a response to "widespread uncertainty" on women'sord!nati~n.
The papal letter is not a question of "a new dogmatic formulation, but. of a doctrine taught bythe ordinary papal magisterium ina definitive way; that is, proposednot as a prudential teaching, noras a more probable op,inion, nor asa mere matt<;r of discipline, but ascertainly true," it said.
"Therefore, since it does notbelong to matters freely open todispute, it always requires the fulland unconditional assent of thefaithful," it said.'
The statement said the papal letter, "far from constituting an obstacle" to ecumenical dialogue, canprovide an opportunity for allChristians to deepen their understanding about the, priestly minis-try. '.

"We couldn't sleep all night, wewere so excited. We'd been waitinga tong time for that day," recountedPaglialunga. At that time he was auniversity student in hiding fromthe Italian fascists, living at homenear the Vatican.
His family had watched the lastof the German occupation soldiersmarch wearily out of the 'capitalon June 3, 50 years ago today.Expectations rose on June 4, andlate that night shouting went up inthe Vatican neighborhood - theAmericans were drawn up at theRoman walls in front of the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
"At 6 a.m. the next day thetanks arrived in Via della C;onciliazione, leading to the Vatican. Fortwo hours there was a parade ofjeeps. The soldiers had flowers intheir rifles and were tossing outcigarettes," Paglialunga said.
Pope Pius X It witnessed all thisfrom his apartment, trying to selectthe right moment for a muchawaited appearance. But when hewas about to come to the window,he saw a tank parked on Vaticanterritory in the square below. Itbelonged to agroup ofsoldiers visiting St. Peter's Basilica.
"He had the U.S. commandercalled and told them to get thattank out of St. Peter's Square,"Paglialunga said. Only then wouldthe pope greet the liberation army.The episode was confirmed byothers at the Vatican.

went .. the jeep following the bike,Paglialunga said.
Some have identified the priestin the photo as Irish Msgr. HughO'Flaherty, who from his Vaticanoffice ran part of the clandestineorganization to help escaped prisoners of war during German occupation. Hundreds of people werebeing hidden in church-run institutions, including the Vatican.
"The place was packed full ofrefugees, safely ensconed inside.Now the danger was over, andthey could leave," said U.S. Jesuithistorian Father Robert Graham.
American soldiers were amongthose who gathered in St. Peter'sSquare on the afternoon of June 5to hear the pope speak of the longawaited liberation of the city. Tomany, Pius XII had been a spiritual inspiration during occupation,refusing to leave Rome and theVatican·even in the face of German threats. His appeals helpedprevent the city from being turnedinto another battlefield.
Two days later, the pope metwith American and British journalists who were covering the warwith the Allied army. Accordingto Raleigh Trev*.!yan, a Britishofficer in the Italian campaignwho wrote a book about his experiences, the papal audience was aless-than-formal affair, with photographers shouting "Hold it,Pope," and "Attaboy" as theysnapped the pontiffs p:cture.
Paglialunga, who obtained andpreserved a photo of that audience,can point out in the left-handcorner the face of an up-and-coming official of the Vatican Secretariat of State: Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini, thefuture Pope PaulVI, who was in charge of reliefwork during the war.

NEW YORK (CNS) - TheCatholic League for Religious andCivil Rights is placing 2,500 ads onNew York subways to tell ridersthat "condoms don't save lives"but "restraint does."
The message is a direct challenge to ads placed by the GayMen's Health Crisis that promotecondoms, showing persons of thesame sex kissing each other whileholding condoms. The ads read:"Young, Hot, Safe'"
"What young people need to betaught is abstinence," the Leaguesaid. "There is something terriblyperverse about a society that tellsyoung people to abstain from smoking I}ut doesn't have the moralcourage to tell them to abstainfrom sex."
The text of the League ads is:"Want to Know a Dirty LittleSecret? CONDOMS DONTSAVELIVES. But Restraint Does. Onlyfools think condoms are foolproof.Remembel', better safe than sorry."

drugs and alcohol in the system, and the increasingcounty inmate population. . .

"We have a jail inDartmouth that is filled to capacity; as a matter of fact,on some days we have prisoners sleeping on mattresses onthe floor of classrooms or recreation rooms. We have fartoo many inmates~t our Ash Street facility in New Bed-.ford, The Eastern Massachusetts Correctional AlcoholCenter, and at the Pre-Release Center in Dartmouth."

day it can be different. Don't evergive up on the chance of findingeach other.
Finally, I didn't go to the funeral alone. I went with my wife andour teenage son. Our daughter, faracross the country in college, simplycould not be with us.
As I walked away from the gravesite, at the end ofall the praying,the hymns and the tears, my sonput his arm, around my shouldersand held me. He's taller than I amnow, and right then he was stronger.I needed him, and he knew it. Hiswarm, supportive hand held mewhen holding was the most important thing.
Right then we both knew. Thegeneration had passed. In love andtrust, we walked forward together.

There was a familiar voice onthe answering machine. It wasCharlotte, my dad's wife. Mompassed away years ago, and Dadand Charlotte have shared somebeautiful years together.
But the most recent years havebeen my father's years of decline.Eighty years old, his body diminished, his mind had wandered inrecent months - far from home,far away even in time.
Many mornings he would wakeup uncertain where he was, thinking that perhaps he was on theIowa farm of his boyhood or in anarmy barracks somewhere in Germany.
Charlotte's voice would bringhim back, gentle and calm, "BiII, Ithink you were having a dream."
"Yes," he would answer, "adream," but as soon as he closedhis eyes he would be gone again,and his dreams were every bit asreal to him as the world of sheetsand bedside tables that the rest ofus saw.
So now it was Charlotte's voiceon my phone machine. "Chris,you'd better give me a call rightaway, just as soon as you gethome."
I knew what this message wasabout. There would be no surprise. I called Charlotte, and shesaid that Dad had died that afternoon. Peacefully, painlessly, hehad simply stopped coming backfrom his dreams.
When your father dies you feellike an orphan. It doesn't matter ifyou're 6, 16 or somewhere in your40s. He's the only dad you ever getto have.
When teenagers lose a parent,people somehow expect them tobe able to manage it. "You aren't alittle kid, after all."
It isn't so. Time and age don'tprotect you from this blow.
Three things made the loss ofmy father bearable, and I'd like toshare them with you.
First, my father is in a bette'rplace. I don't know how peoplewithout religious faith face death.I'm grateful that my parents gaveme the knowledge that Jesus waitsfor us at the end of all this living.
.Second, my father and I becamevery close in the years after I grewup and moved away. At timeswhen I was a teenager I wasn't surewe'd ever speak to each other oncivil terms. My dad was an alcoholic, and his drinking days weredark and stormy for us all.
But life is long, and there aremany chances for new beginnings.My father found Alcoholics Anonymous and sobriety. He found awarmth and capacity for love he'dnever known, and then we foundeach other anew. I wiil ever begrateful.
Know this in the times when youand your mother and father arehaving problems, when lovingthoughts are hard to find: Some-

music makes romantic love intosomething that it is not - amagic elixir curing all of life'sproblems. Such an idea misrepresents the genuine ways lovecan affect our lives.
A much more helpful andrealistic approacl is to see howlove relationsl.ips becometeachers and guifies for our lives.
Let me explain.All of us enter romance with
a variety of past hurts. Manytimes our pain has been pushedoutside conscious awareness.Since every relationship, nomatter how good or healthy,eventually encounters problems,these very difficulties serve as acatalyst to resurface the painthat we have hidden away withinus.
Consequently, one's romancecan become a guide for rediscovering the ways you need toheal. However, such a perspective requires the song's insightthat the current hurt is a needed"lesson" for us.
Too often, we immediatelyblame the other person for whatis hurting us. We fail to seewhat is being mirrored back tous about our lives, and specifically about our past.
What can be more helpful isto step back from the currentproblem and ask ourselves thesequestions: What else might behappening here? Does what Iam feeling now remind me ofanything that occurred in mypast? Could this current angeror hurt also be emotion relatedto past events?
As Catholics, we respectmarriage as a sacrament, meaning that it makes real God'spower and presence in our lives.Part of this power and presenceis God's desire to help us findhealing for whatever ways wehave been hurt in life.
Use your love relationshipsas ways to receive this healingand guidance, and then watchboth you and your partner growmore beautiful in each other'seyes.
