3 Chinese 'Catholic held 27 years

VATICAN CITY (NC) - A French-Chinese Catholic was re­cently released from a Chinese labor camp after more than 27 years in detention, Vatican Radio has reported.

The station said that Ray­mond Ratillon, 49, son of a French father and a Chinese mother, left China April 8 for France, where his father still lives.

Ratillon was arrested in Sep­tember 1955 in Shanghai, China, during a wave of arrests of Cath­olic clergy and laity, the report said. Also arrested at that time was Bishop Ignatius Kung Pin­mei of Shanghai, now 82 and "still imprisoned for the faith," Vatican Radio said.

From the time of his arrest until his release in March, Ra­tillon was held in a labor camp on unspecified charges.

Pastoral delayed WASHINGTON (NC) - A

committee of U,S'. bishops pre· paring a pastoral letter on capi­talism has announced a one· year delay in the issuance of a first draft. The committee, headed by Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, plans to issue its first draft in time for the November 1984 annual meeting of the National Confer­ence of Catholic Bishops.

The delay is to allow sufficient time for implementation of the bishops' new war and peace pas­toral approved in early May. Archbishop Weakland also stated that the committee is changing the title of the letter from "Christ'ianity and Capitalism" to "Catholic Social Teaching and the American Economy." The archbishop said the new title "much more accurately defines the scope and content" of the proposed pastoral.

themoorin~ 'Kudos

The season of graduation is finally nearing ~ompletion. For months colleges and universities have vied to offer prestigious personalities honorary doctorates. Board mem­bers and influential alumni have scoured, the countryside for the biggest names possible in efforts to add luster to commencement ceremonies and, not incidentally, to attract television and newspaper coverage.

Even high schools get into the act, attempting to add glamour to their proceedings by the presence of someone known beyond the pale of the local city .council.

This time of year is a field day, above all, for politicos. From White House to Congress, from.governor's mansion to local precinct" graduation means notice for those whose job depends upon the whim of the voter. Especially those who think they"can read and write seek at any cost to get before the crowd. So often a politician seems to gain a certain credibility when pictured in the robes of acad­emia.

The whole process is becoming rather embarrassing, especially for schools, colleges ~nd universities wishing to be known as Catholic, with all that the adjective implies.

It is somewhat anomalous for a Catholic college to award an honorary doctorate to a politician who supports' abortion. .

It can be somewhat scandalous when a judge or other legal notable is honored by a Catholic institution despite having publicly ridiculed and denounced the basic moral teachings of the Catholic Church. Even on the high school level, it is shaming that the speaker should be an outspoken opponent of any aid whatsoever to parochial schools. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might.' Eccles. 9:10

No matter how much they desire publicity, Catholic schools on all levels should become more selective in their ·choice of people to honor publicly, either by award or, rhetoric.

It is horrendous to think that on the one hand we ask Preparation for

Catholics to follow their moral conscience in the polling booth and on the other recognize in a very special way the politician who is the object of such a reminder. '

People in.public office or in any other position of note who openly oppose the church's' right to educate and to form moral conscience should not be flaunted before gradu~ ates, their families and friends as recipients of special honor.

For th~ past few months I have wor~ed with the Attleboro area mardage preparation pro­gramgram; coordinated through the diocesan Office of Family Ministry under the direction of Ronald A, Tosti.

. the thought of sitting down for eight hours is unwelcome. The typical questions are "Do we have to, Father?" or "Is there any way we can get out of this?"

Interviewing couples after the program provides a refreshing difference. Whereas their ex­pectations were usually very

They do not cleserve such recognition from the church, interpreted of course as a sign of acceptance and "approval. From university president to high school principal, sincere efforts should be made not to embarrass .the church merely for the sake of a moment of media limelight. '

To be sure, some will feel that there is a dichotomy between, the person and his or her politics; who will say that they are recognizing the person, not his or her beliefs. Such thinking, although commonly used, simply begs thequestion. ' '

The church is not offering 'a spiritual buffet. She can only serve a fixed-price meal; she cannot change 'her menu' to appease particular appetites. It is about time for some of ~ur Catholic educators to take this into account when they plan their commencement exercises.

A bond of trust and respect usually develops between the married and engaged couples with the latter' looking upon those .already married as con­cerned people who want to help the~ through an honest sharing of experience.

In the marriage preparation program clergy and laity work as a team to fulfill a crucial need. The lived experience of married couples has proved "'ir­

.replaceable in the instruction and , preparation of engaged couples.

Such shared' responsibility must not be seen as the clergy passing the buck to the laity.

This pr9gram has introduced me to a group of dedicated mar­ried couples who devote much time and their considerable energy and talent to the worthy apostolate I of preparing engaged couples fbr the sacrament of matrimon~. ' '

The program consists of two four-hour sessions which include talks by five ,couples on such topics as communication, differ­ences, finances, sexual intimacy and the sacrament of matrimony itself.

Little time, (or instance, is spent on ways of avoiding div­orce. Rather, most of the time goes to preparing couples for the stable and satisfying union that is the ideal of sacramental marriage.

sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Family Ministry

OPENING PRAYER Our Father in heaven, how

grateful we are for being able to share together as a family. We pray especially for our grand· parents and ask you to bless them in a very special way. Thank you, Father, for making grandparents for us to learn from and for us to love. Amen.

TO THINK ABOUT • Grandparents are very special people in passing on the heritage of individual families. Families should make a conscious effort to spend as much time as possi· ble with grandparents that the children might foster their own sense of identity and worth. It's easy to imagine Jesus visiting his grandparents, Joachim and Ann. He must have enjoyed the games they played and listened with wonder as they told him stories.

ACTIVITY IDEAS Young and Middle Years Families

1. .If grandparents are in town, have them over for dinner and

an evening of "Honor Grand­parents." Decorate with bal­loons; make big red hearts to wear with "Hurrah for Grand­ma ..." and "Hurrah for Grand­pa . . . " on them; give them gifts; serve their. favorite treat. Plan a "This Is Your Life" pro­gram and share all sorts of fun information about them. Try to make it a surprise if possible.

2. When grandparents live oU,t of town, each person can write a letter or draw a picture saying how very dear and very much they are loved. Plan to mail them tomorrow. Or telephone grandparents and let each fam­ily member have a chance to visit.

3. Families whose grandpar­ents are deceased can try to find pictures of grandparents and share some fun stories about the grandparents.

.The mutterer At a parent workshop re­

cently, a mother brought the house down when she said, "We've talked a lot about the child who talks back and the child who goes into silence but what about the child who mutters under his breath when he doesn't like something you said?"

I was one of those who laugh. ed the most because we had a mutterer in our family and from the reaction of parents there, I found we weren't alone.

All of us need ways of re­sponding and reacting in situa· tions where we feel put upon or unhappy with the prevailing ruling structure. With peers, we can say, "I don't want to do that" or "I don't think that's fair." But with parents, teachers and bosses we have to find ways of making our feelings known without getting into trouble.

The two most common meth· ods invoked by kids are talking back and silence. We had one of each. If I said, "You can't watch that TV program," to the former, she would launch into a dis­cussion of her advanced age, her given rights and her feelings about autocratic parenting. If I said the same thing to the next, he retreated into aggrieved silence.

But then God sent us a mut­

conferences that I learned that muttering is part of the ll-year­old psyche and my undying ad­miration goes to the 6th grade teachers who live with it daily and survive.

Still, of the three ways of re­sponding, I prefer the mutterer. We didn't have to hear what he was saying. We simply put up with his muffled feelings for a year or so as background noise. When it became annoying, I began to say, "I know you don't want to wear your boots and hat today. I know no other par­ent is making her children wear them because it is only 10 be­low. You, my dear, are going to wear them, but you get 10 minutes of legal mutter." He usually took them and more.

But like everything else in parenting, this has a way of backfiring. Now that he's a teen­ager and past the muttering stage, he remembers my words and when I'm fuming about something, quips, "You get 10' minutes of mutter, Mudder."

What can I say? Muttering is a time-honored tool of parenting. We develop sophisticated ways of muttering, talking things out with ourselves when nobody else wants to listen. Sometimes it's safer to· mutter than be under­stood because we don't have to take back unwanted words later.

Adult Families Read aloud Deuteronomy 4:9

and 2 Timothy 1:5. Recall some old stories about grandparents. What is so different about life today? If you could change one thing today what would it be?

We mumble something like, "That's because I'm mother and I have a right to a cluttered room. Makes it homey." It doesn't make any sense and we know it so we say it under our breath, getting the message across that we don't have any answer but that we don't like being questioned in that way.

That's basically what mutter­ing is all about - we can let our feelings be known without· being responsible for what we say..

In talking about the phenom­enon with other parents, I've found an even more hilarious form of muttering and that's the snoner. "My son just .snorts··· when he doesn't like something I scold him for or ask him to do," said a mother. "What can you do with a snorter?"

Never having had one, all I could suggest was my tool, "You :get five snorts and then I expect you to empty. the trash."

The new . By gospel

of peace To watch Bishop Walter

F. Sullivan of Richmond, Va., explaining the Catholic bishops' pastoral letter on nuclear war in the parish hall of the Blessed Sacrament Church is to realize how far the bishops have come - and how far they still have to go in transforming the American church into a "peace church."

The bishop's presentation of the study and prayer that had resulted in a final draft which he said proudly put them in direct confrontation with the U.S. government, was received with warm applause from the audience of some 200 mostly older people. But the question period demonstrated vividly that for some of the faithful, the new gospel of peace is as unnerving as the abandonment of Latin as the language of the Mass.

Blessed Sacrament Church, which is located at Chevy Chase Circle among pleasant old homes, is a kind and open-mind­ed parish given to endless good works: Its people feed the hun­gry, visit the sick, care for the elderly and read to the blind. At the Pentecost folk Mass, they had aerobic dancing. The Com­mittee for Social Justice invited Sullivan to come back to the par­ish of his boyhood to spread the word that the church has changed.

The bishop, a tall, loose-limbed man with a long mobile face, took the microphone off its 3tand and held it in his hand like a night-club entertainer.

He seemed prepared for the questions that proved his feel­ing of being "thrilled" with the bishops' work is not universally shared. Since he began evangel­izing about the letter, he has traveled up and down the East Coast encountering rage, con­fusion and bewilderment from Catholics who feel the ground shaking under their feet as they encounter a doctrine so alien to the simple superpatriotism of their youth. "Jesus Christ," the bishop observed, "said you .should love your enemy, not deter him."

Some take refuge in the assur­ance from one of the few anti­pastoral bishops, Archbishop Philip M. Hannan of New Or­leans, that the 'letter ·isnot "morally binding." One man rather edgily inquired what ef­fect the pastoral could have when Catholics were not oblig­ed to believe it.

Sullivan knows his material is explosive, so he adopts a laid· back, disarming manner. This is another strangeness for people who were brought up with au­

he chuckled and let it go. The friendJiest query he got was

from a man who asked what in­fluence the Vatican had had on the letter. The bishop used the occasion to advance another heretical suggestion - that the bishops of smother day had been wrong. He noted that after Hiro­shima the European bishops ask· ed the Americans to join them in a condemnation of the atom bomb, an idea promptly shot down by Cardinal Francis Spell­man, the apostle of getting along with government.

But it was obvious that the heart of the problem is the bishops' declaration that we must deal with the Russians as human '·dnp'~. Many in the parish hall had heard for most of their lives !win '.hi.: pulpit that the god­less atheistic Russians were the source of all evill in the world­in other words, the philosophy of Ronald Reagan.

"How csm we trust the Russ­ians?" asked a baby-faced young man. "They have broken every treaty."

"The thing I remember about SALT II," the bishop reminded mildly, "is that we did not rati­fy it. They did."

He was asked by an older man how the bishops had failed to notice the Soviet buildup, that "the only place we are superior is in our helicopters."

The bishop said that the Scowcroft Commission had said there was "no window of vulner­ability," for which he was glad, but added that being vulnerable hadn't bothered him.

The young man came back again to the gnawing question of "trusting the Russians."

The bishop asked provoca­tively, "How can the Russians trust us?"

There were gasps, and one man burst out, "That's unfair. Look at Western Europe and Eastern Europe."

The bishop reminded them that the United States had drop­ped the atomic bomb. In the hope of defusing them, he cited a familiar god, Fulton Sheen. who called dropping the bomb "the worst evil ever done in our world."

A man of World War II vin­tage leaped up in indignation. "The only reason we did was because we had it, and the others didn't. It was good that we did and got it over with. If we hadn't, we would have lost a million men invading Japan."

Appeal is filed in Mansour case

SILVER SPRING, Md. (NC) ­The Sisters of Mercy of the Union have filed a canonical ap­peal of the dispensation from re­ligious vows of Agnes Mary Mans~ur, who resigned from the order in order to keep her job as director of the Michigan Department of Social Se~ices.

Then-Sister Mansour was dis­pensed from her vows May 9 after she declined to agree with the Vatican that she resign her state job.

The state agency she heads is involved in funding abortions.

The Sisters of Mercy, based in Silver SI?ring, Md., said in a statement that the order's cen­tral adrhinistration initiated the. appeal on May 18 and that it was directed by Sister M. The­resa Kane, Mercy Sisters presi­dent, to Cardinal Eduardo Pi'­ronio, prefect of the Vatican's Congregation for Religious and Secular Institutes.

"The Congregation for Reli­gious mandated that Sister Ag­nes Mary Mansour resign" her state job "or be subject to im­,posed dismissal from the Sisters of Mercy," the nuns' statement said. "Distressed by the events that led to the dispensation, the

'central administration of the Sisters of Mercy decided to ini­tiate the appeal."

Sister Kane said the appeal is based on the right, provided under church law, of recourse against church actions. She said the appeal cites a lack of due process in the case, a lack of opportunity for a hearing and a lack of clarity on the specific causes of the action.

Church officials have said the Vatican took action in the case because of the "scandal" and the importance of the abortion

Clergy Alcoholism Council to meetThe National Clergy Council

on Alcoholism will hold its 35thannual symposium June 20 to24 at Marian College, Indian­apolis.

Featured speakers will beArchbishop Edward T. O'Mearaof Indianapolis and Father Jo­seph ("Chalk Talk") Martin.Other talks and workshops willdeal with ministry to alcoholics,seminary formation, religiouswomen, spirituality in recoveryand the family and youth.

The program, designed forboth professionals and non-pro­

.fessionals, is sponsored by theNational Clergy Council, head­quartered in Washington. In­formation on the symposium isavailable at PO Box 313, Indian·apolis 44206.

The National Clergy Councilwas founded by the late FatherRalph ~au (also known as"Father 'John Doe';), a priest ofthe Indianapolis archdiocese, togather together in relative se­crecy recovering alcoholicpriests.

Annual meetings were held invarious parts of the country inorder to spread the organiza­tion's message of hope and itsgrowing store of practical in­formation and advice to priestvictims ot alcoholism.

Support was provided almostfrom the begilttling by the notedJesuit moralist, Father JohnFord, who encouraged NCCA toexpand its apostolate to families,the "other victims" of alcohol­ism.

In the 70s NCCA expandedboth its general membership anelthat of its board of directors toinclude laity, sisters and broth­ers. In 1978 the council's centraloffice was moved to Washingcon,D.C. on the grounds of Holy Re­deemer College. The present ex­ecutive director is Rev. 'ohn F.

~'FallRive~New BedfordSamaritans

The Samaritans, an aroundthe clock suicide prevention or­ganization, will open a branchto serve the New Bedford/FallRiver area.

Latest available figures show,say Samaritan officials, thateach city recorded eight suicidesin 1981. "Since suicide is al­ways underreported," saidMonica Dickens, founder of theU.S. branch of the internationalorganization, "the actual num­ber is probably greater, and forevery suicide, it is estimatedthat there may be 200 suicideattempts."

The new branch, like the fourothers in New England, includ­the centers in Falmouth andProvidence, will offer "befriend­ing rather than counseUng toanyone who is suicidal, depressedor lonely, both on the phone andin the center."

The Samaritans win be locatedin the Center for Alcol1Ql· Prob­lems building, 386 Stanley St.,.Fall River, but will not be con­nected with the alcoholism ser­vice or the Women's Center forIndependent Living, also in thebuilding.

The suicide prevention pro·gram is expected to open inNovember. Volunteers will beinterviewed during July andtraining will begin in September.

Volunteers should be 20 orovet:, good listeners. and able togive Ii few hours weekly to .tele­phone duty at the Samaritan'headquarters. Those interestedshould call 993-6242 in the NewBedford area or 679-5222 in theFall River area for an interviewappointment.

Started in EnglandThe Samaritans began in Eng~

land in 1953 and was broughtto the US in 1974 by Ms. Dick­ens, a British writer and descen­dant of Charles Dickens. She ishelping organize the Fall River/New Bedford branch and is'actively associated with theCape Cod branch.

With headquarters in Fal­mouth, that branch has starteda jail suicide prevention pro­gram and was responsible forerection of suicide barriers onthe Bourne and Sagamorebridges across the Cape CodCanal.

Being positive, on the otherhand, reaches the spouse wherehe is open to being reached,where he can perhaps be moti­vated to change. The problemwith being positive is not thatit is ineffective. Actually it ismost powerful. The problem isthat it is very, very difficult todo when we do not feel positive.

The charge of wife abuse iscurrently popular and a veryserious problem. However, like,other problems, it does not haveone single solution. The adultfacing the problem is in the bestposition to decide the action totake.

Counselors, columnists, fam­ily doctors, all can aid personsin making decisions. But theyoverStep theit role when theyactually decide for another adult.This is different from the abuseof small childTen or the helplesselderly.

Getting out of the house isone solution to abuse. It is adrastic step to take in responseto three occurrences in sevenyears: It is not the only solu­tion. And it is up to the personinvolved to. decide whether totake this drastic step.

The non·Catholic must havea faith in the sacrament that isin agreement with the Catholicfaith, should have the proper dis­position to receive the sacramentand should have a serious ..spirit­ual need for it, Father Hotchkinsaid.

Also, if the non-Catholic is ina situation where for a periodof time his own minister wouldbe unavailable he could receivepermission from a bishop to re­ceive communion, Father Hotch.kin said. .

Usually the funeral of a Cath·olic friend would not be con­sidered a case of serious spirit­ual need, he said, but if the non­Catholic had not requested per­mission in advance from thebishop it's not likely he wouldbe turned away at Mass. .

The Mass was celebrated forJoseph R. Holmes, a long-timeReagan aide who died of cancerMay 27. The president and NancyReagan attended the Mass andtook communion before leavingfor a four-day weekend at CampDavid.

The event was reported June3 in the Washington Post. Ef­forts to reach Father (Commo­dore) John R.

Joseph O'Donnell,Navy chaplain and executive as­sistant to the chief of chaplains,said he was not present at 'theMass but that non-Catholicssuch as Reagan are sometimesgiven communion.

"When I'm up distributingcommunion . I'm not makingjudgments about who should re­ceive and who should not. The

The only way a priest can denya person communion on the spurof the moment is if that personis a public sinner, according toFather O'Donnell. President Rea­gan "is hardly a public sinner inthe eyes of the church."

Conscientious objection By Rev. William N. Matthews

Pax Christl USA

Many conscientious young men are concluding that the best expression of their patriotism is one that shows their devotion to their religious beliefs. This leads them to be conscientious objectors with respect to parti­cipation in war.

. Some are registering for the draft and writing statements of their religious beliefs to be filed with diocesan offices or other when a miltary induction order is received. Others are not regis­tering at all, often writing the same statements of how their moral beliefs will not allow them to do so. These conscientious objectors are joining with other persons in peace marches, ral­lies, and other nonviolent demonstrations.

Perhaps your son, grandson, brother or friend is one of them. Why are they doing this?

Recently many have seen the movie "Gandhi." For Christians it is especially interesting. to see a man who, though not a Chris­tian, took Jesus Christ at his word in his teaching about non­violence. Few men or women in history have been so noted for trying to form a right consci­ence, and then following it faith­fully.

Forming a right conscience has always been a Christian ob­ligation. In our nuclear age, forming a right conscience about issues of war is a particularly important call of the Gospel for each of us. Conscientious ob­jectors have responded to this call in a specific way.

In 1945, the first and second and so far only uses of nuclear bombs ~m human populations occurred' with the U.S. bomb­ings of I-Jiroshima and Nagasaki.

At fi~t very few people re­flected Qn the horror and the suffering of those,. mostly civilians and innocent children, who were killed or maimed by

"the bomb." How could people reflect? No one had ever dream­ed of a weapon so fierce, let alone imagined the human misery it would cause.

Commenting on the ushering in of the nuclear age, Albert Einstein said "Now everything has changed, except our way of thinking." Unfortunately, his statement is still generally true. But what about our young people?

Young people today have the benefit of history, rather than personal experience, upon which to establish a perspective. Those in the draft age group generally have no personal. memory of the Viet Nam conflict. They have had no direct experience with the way in which the weekly body counts on the evening news became a part of the "us­ual" routine ·in the homes of U.S. families.

Neither do the vast majority of these young Catholic Ameri­cans know anything of cons­cientious objection insofar as it is an official category of the Am­erican laws about military ser­vice. Much less do they know how to go about 'deciding whether they are themselves conscientious objectors accord­ing to government criteria, or how they might go about es­tablishing themselves as such in the eyes of their government.

Nevertheless, many young Catholics view war and its vio­lence differently from their pre­decessors. They are thinking twice about it; whereas the majority of recent generations (the present writer included) did not.

In the past, only small num­bers of youths questioned regis­tration or the draft. Nor was the supposed "need" to go to war questioned with any frequency. Military service was seen as a romantic, adventurous and often necessary part of growing up for a young man.

. But many young people to­day have begun to have, as the Second Vatican Council called upon .us all to have, "a new way of thinking" about war.

These young persons have lived their entire lives under the real threat of possible annihila­tion. This has taken its toll on them. It has been hypothesized that this is one of the main fac­tors behind the attitude of many young people who seem to place little' emphasis on planning for the future, directing their energies instead toward im­mediate gratification such as that found in drugs and alcohol. It may also have much to do with diminished appreciation fo.! a life long commitment to mar­riage or a religious vocation, or indeed for long-term obligations of any sort.

Youth who conscienciously object to war are prophets to us. They have begun to think in an entirely new way a~out war.

Pope John Paul II often re­minds us of this imperative of the Second Vatican CounCil. It was also what a man like Gandhi exemplified in his life. What truer act of patriotism could anyone perform for his country than to call it a"ay from disaster by his- courage to stand for what he believes is right?

Speaking at Nagasaki in 1981, Pope John Paul II said, "To young people everywhere, I say: Let us together create a n~w

future of fraternity and solid­arity; let us reach out to our brothers and sisters in need . . . bringing peace where only wea­pons speak. Your young hearts have an extraordinary capacity for goodness and love. Put them at the service of your fellow human beings."

Religious leaders· rap genetic WASHINGTON (NC)

Twenty-one U.S. Catholic bish­ops, joined by other religious leaders and scientists, have backed a resolution opposing genetic engineering to improve the human species and caned on Congress to prohibit genetic en­gineering of human cells.

The religious and scientific leaders compared use of human genetic engineering to nuclear weapons technology.

In their resolution the clergy­men and scientists "resolved that efforts to engineer specific gen­etic traits into the germline of the human species should not be attempted." (fhe germline re­fers to basic human cells called germ cens, which can unite with another cell 'and form a new in­dividual."

According to the Washington­based Foundation on Economic Trends, which released the reso­lution, the Catholic prelates who back the resolution include Archbishops John L. May of St. Louis; JQhn F. Whealon of Hart­ford, Conn.; and Daniel E. Shee­han of Omaha, Neb., as well as 18 bishops, including Bishops WaJter F. Sullivan of Richmond,

Va.; Leroy T. Matthiesen of Amarillo, Texas, and James W. Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, who is also vice president of the U.S. Catholic Conference.

Representatives of other de­nominations and groups include Methodist Bishop James Arm­strong, president of the National Council of Churches; Bishop John M. Allin, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church in Am­erica; Rabbi Ira Silverman, presi­dent of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College; the Rev. Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority; and the Rev. Avery Post, president of the United Church of Christ.

Leaders of Lutheran, Baptist, Mennonite, Disciples of Christ and other congregations also were represented.

"It will soon be possible to engineer and produce human be­ings by the same techological design principles as we now employ in our industrial pro­cesses," said a statement, called a "theological letter," accom­panying the resolution.

"Genetic engineering of the human germline cells represents a fundamental threat to the pre­

servation of the human species as we know it and should be op­posed with the same courage and

'~conviction as we now oppose the threat of nuclear extinction," the statement says.

"It is very likely that in at­tempting to 'perfect' the human species we will succed in en· gineering our own extinction" because "eliminating so-caBed 'bad genes' will lead to a dan­gerous narrowing of diversity in the gene pool," according to the .statement.

The letter says that manipula­tion of human genetic material to prevent disease, prolong life and provide other medical bene­fits, despite its dangers, is "com­ing to us not as a threat but as a promise; not as a punishment but as a gift. And here is where the true danger lies.

"Ultimately, there is no se­curity to be found in engineer­ing the human species, just as we have now learned that there is no security to be found in building bigger, more sophisti­cated nuclear bombs," the state­ment says.

'The statement says the genetic engineering opponents hope their

iresolution will represent "a watershed in our thinking" about science and technology.

'Jealous love'

of Eucharist ROME (NC) - On the warm

Rome evening of June 2 Pope John Paul II carried the Blessed Sacrament up a slightly graqed mile-long street in a procession celebrating the feast of Corpus Christi.

Speaking on the Eucharist at a Mass in the square outside the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the cathedral church of Rome, the pontiff told some 25,000 wor­shippers of the "jealous love with which the church guards this treasure of inestimable value."

Then, joined by the huge crowd and by eight cardinals and 30 archbishops and bishops, the pope carried the Eucharist on an hour-long procession.

Previously he had spoken of Christ's promise that "he who eats this bread will live forever,"

"We will set out among songs and prayers, carrying with us the sacrament of the body and blood of the Lord," he said. "We will go where the life of human beings pul.ses, where their pass· ions rage, their conflicts explode, where their sufferings eat away at them and where their hopes flourish."

"We will go," he added, "to give testimony with humble joy to the fact that in this little white host there is the answer to the most worrying questions, there is comfort for every grief, there is, in pledge, the satisfac­tion of that searing thirst for happiness and love which all people carry inside of them, in the hidden recesses of their hearts."

What's· on your mind?

Q. I have been smoking marijuana for some time,and I've been very tempted to try hard drugs. I wonder if you really can give me a good reason not to try them~

A. You seem t~ be saying that you really don't want to use hard drugs and that, you want me somehow to stop you from doing so.

Perhaps your apparent desire not to use such drugs will be strengthened by what some of your peers have to say about them.

These young people I've ques­tioned are not goody-goody types, but are hard-driving and sophisticated. .Thy!ve been around and seen a lot, and all are in their teens or early 20s.

Donna: "Can t}lis guy afford hard drugs? As a starter, he'll need about $25. Then when he becomes addicted, his weekly bill can run as high as $3,000 or $4,000 - easily."

Terry: "I've used acid, and I've .been on some fantastic trips. But coming down is awful. The de­pression is' so terrible I can't describe it. Tell the dude to stay away from all hard drugs. I don't tou<:h 'em now."

Mike: "I stopped using hard drugs when I was 16. I made my decision when some big guy was pointing a gun at my head and telling me I had to sell a

lot more drugs if I wanted to ~go on living. I had gotten into sell­ing drugs when I was 14 and needed more money to' buy heroin."

Marianne: "Tell this person to check out some of the hard­drug users. Listen to their sl~rr­ed talk. Watch how some have trouble walking straight. Look at their long, dirty hair. Find put how low their grades are."

Greg: "I've got a very expen­sive habit - cocaine. I've bor­rowed thousands of dollars to keep going. In the city where my family lives I borrowed an awful lot of money from some syndi­cate dudes. I couldn't pay it back so I left home and took a job here. .

"Now I can't go back to where I grew up becaus' I've gotten the word that I'll be killed for not paying back the money lowe."

Tod: "Speed will cook .your central nervous system. Some guys on my soccer team used it, and they're all burnt out now."

Dave: "Most guys who use hard drugs don't eat much. They're usually small and weak. You're better off to spend the money on a YMCA membership. You can exercise and build up your body and get into sports. You feel a lot better and have more fun that way."

Jesus :By Cecilia Belanger

Jesus tied himself to no one. He w~s available to all. He did not fight his battle by proxy. No one died to save him; he died to save humanity. He walked dusty : roads, hungry, thirsty, sleepless. He was everything good and pure. If one had a need, he had a ~upply. There was neither brim nor bottom to his love: raisingi the Jewish maiden from her bed, ,rescuing the sinking Peter, :pitying a hungry multi­tude, weeping with the sisters of Bethany, warning those who would injure innoce!1t childhood.

Jesu~ was a slave to nothing. He was free from sin, from jealousy; hate, selfishness-the list is ·~ong. Not to be in bond­age to: vice or obsession is in­deed to be free, to be complete­ly liberated.

Jesu~ is telling us that we too can be !free from hate, from ac­qUisitivEmess, from coveting what others have and all the rest of the sins that put people in bond­age and slavery.

I Jesus, tells us not to be lovers

of power nor one of those who aspire to this world's kingdoms. He tells IUS to lay down vengeance and take up a cross. He tells us to stop smothering our cons­ciences,: pretending that we don't know. right -from wrong.

He instructed us in moral purity, Igave us spiritual insight through the Holy Spirit, set us on the path we should follow.

There is no nobler service

than to acquaint our fellow hu­man beings with the person' of Jesus Christ. If we really want to know who we are, we should try to see ourselves in His light. He helps us get rid of the excess baggage we think is so impor­tant.

Also at the Attleboro school, a survey of seniors shows that 69.6 percent are continuing to

It is very important to recog· nize and thank those who have stuck with us. Who are some of these people?

Most of us have been influ­enced for the better by teachers. Is there a particular teacher who helped form your attitudes or values, or who went out of his or her way to challenge you?

Have you told that person how he or she helped you?

Often the people most behind youths are parents. But some· times parents also are the ones

.teen-agers have the most con­flicts with. Other times teen­agers feel disappointed because parents have not been all that they wanted or needed them to be.

But, \\,hatever your feelings about parents, have you looked at all they have given you? Can you forgive them for their fail­ings, realizing that parents try to do the best they can?

Have you expressed your gratitude for their years of sup­port and care?

TV Programs Irish television breaks into

American broadcasting with an exceptional documentary on a fascinating subject, "The World of James Joyce," airing Wednes­day, June 15, 8-9:30. p.m. on PBS.

Produced by Sean O'Mordha for Radio Telefis Eireann, the documentary is both a portrait of pre-World War I Dublin and the man who wrote about it during his 40 years of self-im­posed exile.

Interweaving the Dublin con­text with Joyce's life and writ­Jngs, t~e documentary trans-. lates its very Irish subject into a universal experience, made richer by the fullness of its imag­ery carefully culled from archi­val sources.
