Though we have come frommany lands and though we prayto God in many diverse ways,,we are, nonetheless, one people,an American people, whosedemocratic principles exempli­fy the greatest hope for man­kind. My prayer for the nationon this great weekend is thatAmerica may look into its souland come· to realize with thezeal of our Founding Fathersthat the Declaration, whose twohundredth anniversary we cele­'brate today, is, in the words ofWoodrow Wilson, "not a thesisfor philosophers, but a program·of action."

Bicentennial

StatementDearly beloved in Christ,

On this most significantweekend, amid the festivity andthe joy of our BicentennialCelebration, prayers both ofthanksgiving and petition springspontaneously to our lips andhearts. The recollection of thebounties of Providence in ourland and among our people dur­ing these past two centuriesprompts our prayer of thanks­giving. The anticipation withwhich 'we enter our third cen­tury as a people united in onenation, under God, prompts ourprayer of petition.

OUt nation has been in exist­ence now for two hundredyears. We have not attainedperfection; there are still manyflaws; we must continue totravel a long hard road beforewe can begin to be satisfied thatwe are reaching our goal of lib­erty and justice for all. None­theless, on this BicentennialWeekend, we can well make ourown those wonderful words ofone of the greatest CatholicChurchmen our nation has everproduced, the venerable andsaintly John Cardinal Gibbons."From my. heart," . wrote theCardinal, "I say:. America,with all thy faults, I love theestilL"

On this Independence. DayWeekend, as your Bishop andPastor, I pray for an abundanceof God's blessings upon thisgood land 'and upon all its peo­ple. I pray that this nation, onits two hundredth birthday, willcontinue to sustain the princip­les of our Founding Fathers andproclaim with fervor the Scrip-.tural injunction carved on theLiberty Bell: "Proclaim libertythroughout. the land unto aU the

erican Catholic found successand prosperity in this land.From the factories, the railroads,the steel miUs and the farmscame an opportunity to learn.

Unifying ElementThe unique and unifying ele­

ment that made the Church inAmerica what it is today waseducation. From city to townthe "Catholic" school brought tothe sons and daughters of im­migrants the hope often deniedthem. If there is one single fac­tor in the last 200 years of ournational history that has helpedAmerican Catholics to take hisrightful place in American life,it has been the education systemof the American Church.

High schools, colleges andhospitals built and sustained byCatholic immigrants gave theirchildren the rights often deniedby the majority. They made theChurch in America. They gaveAmerican society a diverse peo­ple united in faith and in loyal­ty to these United States.

Now, as we begin a new erain our national history, it isfashionable for so many Catho­lics "who have made it" toknock and deride this achieve­ment of the past. Of course, indoing so they are in turn deny­ing the new immigrants the veryadvantage they themselves pos­sess.

Where the Church in this landwill be in another hundred yearsis pure speculation. Yet, if weas a people and a Church forgetthe past struggles of our an­cestors in the faith, then thefuture will not only be cloudybut dismal. The future of theChurch sti:ll lies in its ability toteach and help new Americansto be American Catholics.

Boston AuxiliaryResigns Post

The Catholic Church in these United States is an immi­grant church. For the last 200 years peoples from all over theworld have sought hope in the American dream. Fleeing thepoverty, hate and warfare of their native lands, millionshave and are still finding thisland a haven of personal op­portunity. Yet for the Catho­lic the last 200 years in thisland of promise have not beeneasy.

We are apt to forget so veryeasily the difficulties, trials andeven persecution Catholics havehad to face in this land of thefree. To be sure, there wereCatholics who fought in our or­iginal revolution and even aCatholic who signed the Dec­laration of Independence. How­ever, they were for the mostpart members of the early aris­tocratic establishment.

As America Has a Birthday"We hold these truths to be self-evident; that ail men

are created equal; that they are endowed by their creatorwith certain unalienable rights; that among these are life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...."

Thomas Jefferson's original title for this momentousdocument that launched our nation on July 4, 1776, was"A Declaration By The Representatives Of The United Statesof America, In General Congress Assembled." A ponderoustitle for so incisive a work that created a nation deliberatelyfashioned on belief in God and God-given rights.

At this time there is the call on all sides for Americansto return to the spirit, the ideals, of the Founding Fathers.

Cynicism in the nation is directed at this hour towardevery branch of government: the executive has been taintedwith the lies and cover-ups of Watergate; the judicial hasbeen hurt by the abominable condemnation of the unbornin flagrant disregard of the principle of life; the legislative'has come under recent clouds with the violations of the basicstandards of decency on the part of some of its members.

Small wonder that there is in the nation a wave ofnostalgia, a longing for the "old days" when, surely, humannature was not so different as regards faults and failings inthe lives of men, but there was the realization at least thatideals had to be kept high. No one would attribute absolutepurity of intention (or living) to those involved in the found­ing of the country. But these persons knew and spoke ofideals.

And that might be the worthy resolution on the partof this nation's citizens as the country enters its third Cen­tury: let us not let down the standards, not sell out idealsunder the pretext of a "new honesty" that vulgarizes all ittouches and stains all it speaks of and coarsens all it looksupon.

In this respect, all people must look to themselves, theirviews, their lives. Advertising has become synonymouswith lying; entertainment is equated with ridicule and sug­gestiveness and vulgarity; selling is done on the basis of apandering to the senses; the beautiful people and the goodlife are made to mean a slick external package of ceaselessenjoyment. without effort and indulgence without control.

The founding ideals of this nation spoke of accountabil­ity with responsibility, independence with integrity, libertywith inner control. Life and liberty and the pursuit of happi­ness are gifts from God and so held and exercised andfollowed under His laws.

Some might call this "the sense of the divine" whichmust be carefully nurtured in the hearts of, men lest thehuman alone takes over and debases. But it is certainly theideal of the beginnings of this nation. It is the ideal to whiclinot only lip service must be given on solemn occasions, butthe ideal to which this latest generation of Americans mustpledge lives and fortunes and sacred honors.

Let's Hear ItFor God

PINOlJE, Calif. (NC)-If JamesJ. Fiatarone has his way, at highnoon on July 4, every Americanwill step out of his door, look upto the heavens, and shout,"Thank you, God!"

Fiatarone operates the FiatMusic Company here, and saidhe got the idea several monthsago, after composing a poemsymbolizing the theme.

"I ' was wondering how wecould all join in the great bi­centennial celebration in a waythat would mean something andnot cost anything," Fiat said."The idea came to me as an in­spiration. I see it as a symphonyof gratitude that God wouldnever forget - God would smilethe entire day."

Fiat describes himself as apatriotic Catholic and said hecomposed his poem last Ja,nuarywhile thinking about the signifi­cance of the .bicentennial, andfelt "this idea that God hasblessed us has been one of thegreatest reasons why we havebecome so great."

Fiat sent the poem and hissuggestion for one great shoutto God by all, on July 4, toPresident Ford, but received nor~nly. He did better with BishopFloyd L. Begin of Oakland, whosent 400 copies of the poem tohis priests. He told Fiat he wasaccepting the suggestion ofthanking God at noon on July 4"as a diocesan policy."·

Bishop Begin also wrote toPresident Ford and to the UnitedStates Cathdlic Conference, urg­ing adoption of Fiat's idea by allthe Catholic dioceses of thenation.

nationwide action, said FatherGraziano, explaining that the 2p.m. time, selected by an Act ofCongress, "will be exactly 200years from the precise momentthat the Liberty Bell proclaimedthe independence of the nation.The two minutes," he added,"will commemorate the passingof the first two centuries of theAmerican experiment."

Other ObservancesMany diocesan parishes will

also hold other patriotic observ­ances this weekend. In the At­tleboro area, parishes have beeninvited to join a two-part ecu­menical program this Sunday,involving individual churchesand community-wide participa­tion.

On an individual basis,churches and synagogues areasked to decorate their places ofworship in patriotic style, whilecongregants are asked to wearcostumes depicting various erasof national history. Also, wor­shipers will sign documents attheir churches accepting theDeclaration of Independence, aswas done 200 years ago.

Continued from Page ThreeEvangelization, "the inheri­

tance of the Holy Year," de­mands increased emprasis, thePope noted. "Within this con­text we pray that the Church inthe United States will generouslykeep alive the missionary spirit,"he went on.

Certain innovations in murgi­cal practice drew the Pope's cau­tious endorsement - along withadmonitions.

The use of lay ministers ofHoly Communion must be "inaccordance with the precisenorms of the Holy See," thePope wrote.

Concerning the "renewed dis­cipline of the Sacrament ofPenance . . . we pray that theelement of spiritual conversion,so necessary for this sacrament,will playa great role in the lifeof your people and that they willnever lose a sense of sin andtherefore of the need for con­fession and forgiveness." Fur­thermore, the necessity for au­ricular confession should "beheld in honor by all."

The Pope aiso asked "thatthe heritage of Latin be revivedand sedulously pursued in theseminaries."

late 1800s, there are many dishesthat are personally ours.

The Yankee housewife devisedmany tasty and nutritious re­cipes which have come down tous from the early Colonial times.Cooking under very difficult cir­cumstances with minimum cook­ing implements, our foremotherscreated wholesome, mouth-wat­ering foods.

From Cape Cod clam chowderto fried clams, from apple pie toblueberry slump, there are re­cipes and foods that shout Amer­ica. Salmon, green peas and newpotatoes are the Fourth of Julymeal, a celebration .no othercountry claims.

Our peas are already out andif I do want to keep them forthe Fourth of July I may have toresort to the freezer (as· an ex­tra tip I must menUon that wecook our peas in the pod, witha small amount of water and alittle piece of bacon. This waythe flavor is retained). Salmonis very often hard to come byand of course it is expensive butit certainly is worth the search.

While I enjoy many differenttypes of food I must confess thatthose that are part of our owntradition appeal to me the most.

One Fan Riv~r church, theFirst Congregational, has pub­lished its ,own Bicentennial Cook­book and while recipes includemany of the exotic dishes weadopted as our own there aremany authentic American dishes., A hardy fruit-filled fruit cake,Somerset Scalloped Clams, Sa'l­mon Croquettes and AnadamaBread are just a few of the goodbasic New England recipes with­in its covers.

This church published its firstrecipe collection in 1871 whenthe congregation was fifty-fiveyears- old, and members felt itonly fitting that they publish anew recipe collection in this,our hicentennial year. We whoare avid collectors of cookbooksare very glad that they did.

This recipe for salmon cro­quettes is one of the 76 ~n theFirst Congregational Cookbook,and it's from the kitchen of Mrs.Florence Barker.

In keeping with the Bicentennial Year, many gardenersare attempting to devise red, white and blue combinationsfor their gardens. For most of us this is difficult, since wedo not have a ready stock of flowers at our disposal to usein large plantings. I remem­ber as a child being taken toRoger Williams Park wherethe gardeners took a greatdeal of pride in setting out stun­ning flower arrangements. Ireally don't know whether theyhave continued this work or not,

but one can visualize large for­mal gardens done in the Bicen­tennial theme in large parks withgreenhouses.

In the home garden, smallplots could be arranged with red,white and blue flowers. For in­stance, a pretty -arrangementcould be made using white andred cascade petunias with a bor­der of blue alyssum. I have my,wi.ndow boxes done in red gera­niums, white cascade petuniasand bluish purple petunias. (fhepetunias are not really blue, butgardeners must be allowed asmall dash of poetic license.)

Not Too LateThis is an excellent time to

buy annuals, :s'ince most of theheavy buying is past and thegreen houses are eager to getrid of what they have left. Atrip to a greenhouse might pro­duce some interesting combi,na­tions of annua'is which could beused to set out little gardens.with patriotic overtones. Thepoint is that we have at leastthree more months of annualbloom and it is n'ot too late tothink about planting these flow­'ers. We are still in the processof getting our dahlias, marigoldsand petunias set out and thiscan contit:lue as long as plantsare available and energy lasts.

Here isa partial list of avaH­able plants with varying heightsand growth habits:

Whites: petunias, delphinium,dahlias, canna, alyssum, asters.

Reds: impatiens, geraniums,petunias, dahlias, rock cress,zinnias.

Blues: delphinium, asters, alys­sum, bachelor buttons, veronica.

These are only a few of theplants which should be readilyavailable' and could be useful.Imagination is necessary to com­bine flowers effectively for acolorful and patriotic effect, butthe attempt could be a fascinat­ing summer project.

She was a beautiful youngwoman, and married a strikinglyhandsome man. Saturday shedanced with another young man... the image of that groomfrom twenty years ago.

Mother and son dancingwouldn't be unusual, except thattwenty years ago, when thatboy was still a toddler, heryoung husband died suddenly ...some strange ailment that struckwithout warning.

I will not forget seeing herdancing with her sori . . . theimage of her husband.

The wedding was on Saturdayand we stayed overnight withanother friend whose wife diedand is raising his children onhis own. The teen-age girls runtheir home beautifully. Butthey've had no one to do thingsfor them in a long time.

Sunday morning, I startedmaking the breakfast. One of thegirls came into the kitchen,iooked at me at the stove, andsaid, "Gee ... a mother.",

That afternoon we visited an­other friend we haven't seen inyears. Six months ago, her hus­band died. She, too, is doingvery well, but there is a differ­ent emptiness ina home withouta father from the home withouta mother.

Remembering, RenewingAnd that contrast made the

meaning even deeper of the daybefore ... of how the father ofthe bride had looked at his wife... the wife who almost wasn'tthere with him.

It was a beautiful weekend, aweekend filled with joy andtears, remembering and renew­ing ... a weekend of love.

It was like a beautiful retreat.The traveling forced my hus­band and' me to get away fromour regular lives, to detach our­selves for two days.

Those same poignant momentstouched our minds, forcing us toth~nk ... to recognize how for­tunate we are just to have eachother.

It's impossible to fathom whyGod does things, but He doeshave some purpose in His work.Our friends have suf~ered severetrials, and through that suffer­ing have given us a treasuredgift ... gratitude to God that westill have each other.

But how can I thank them?

our lives.But a year and a half ago,

without warning, she suffered amassive heart attack and nearlydied. Her recovery has beenslow, and there was some ques­tion in my mind if she wouldbe up to attending the wedding.I didn't see her before we wentinto church and while sittingthere waiting for the weddingparty to arrive I realized I wasmore anxious to see the bride'smother than to see the bride.

So you can imagine my joywhen she was escorted downthe aisle, just before the cer­emony began. To see her welland smiling confidently - mademy heart feel like it was burst­ing with pleasure.

Traditional, NewThe wedding itself was beau­

tiful. The bride was radiant.The ceremony was a balancedblend of the traditional and thenew. It is delightful to see abride so thoroughly enjoy herown wedding.

And during the ceremony, Inoticed the bride's father. Asthe bride and groom were vow­ing "in sickness and in health,in good times and in bad," in­stead of watching his daughter"he was looking at his wife ofthirty years. The open love,devotion, and thankfulness thatpoured from his eyes ... to stillhave her standing there besidehim ... I'll never forget.

At the reception, another mo­ment etched its mark.

Twenty-two years ago one ofthe bride's aunts was married. Iremember that wedding well.

chickens on their Ohio farm. They have left traditional convent routine to return to simplelife style espoused by 51. Francis. (NC Photo)

LOGAN, Ohio (NC) - Theirsow had farrowed 13 piglets attwo in the morning, just sevenhours ago, and the two nuns,dressed in blue jeans and flan­nel shirts, were sti'll in awe atthe process.

In a Bicentennial return to thenaked simplicity of birth, growthand death patterns, the two sis­ters are searching for the "peacewhich passeth all understand­ing" not in a convent or in com­petitive society, but through alife of simplicity.

Like the founder of their or­der, St. Francis, Sisters MaryRaymond and Nancy Leddy haveabandoned a life of comfort toreturn to the basics on a farmoutside Logan, Ohio.

"We had evangeHcal, pre-con­ceived notions of service in mov­ing here, but our neighbors' wayof life - their generosity andcare - taught us the gospelof Jesus can become your wayof life without high theorizing,"said Sister Raymond. "By their~xample alone they know moreScripture than any of our Scrip­ture experts,"

The two Sisters share home­made cookies on a table madefrom a barn door supported onfour locust posts. A galvanizedmeta1 tub serves as the bathtub,while on chilly days a coal­burning stove fills the diningroom with warmth.

"All the Marian sanctuariesin the world are of special mean­ing in the me of the Church,"he writes. "Czestochowa inPoland is the heart and soul ofthat nation; Guadalupe in Mex­ico gives energy and courage tothe people of that country;Lourdes (in France) is a spiritualhome for all the world: St. MaryMajor in Rome is the source andcenter of Marian devotion in thewest; and our national shrine inWashington is a symbol of the'love that came with the firstexplorers and settlers genera­tions ago."

According to the Graymoorpriest, "Our Lady does not im­pede . . . unity: she points theway to it. Pope Leo XIII calledher the guardian of unity. PopePaul has often used a title begunby St. Augustine, 'Mother ofUnity,' "

A mother's role is "to unitethe members of her family, tobring the chi'ldren together evenafter they have become es­tranged," the article notes.

Despite the red, white andblue and their connotations, "theAtonement Madonna is not justfor us in America, or just for1976," Father Cranny writes."She is the mother of all theworld, for all times,"

GRAYMOOR (NC)-What wasonce a devotion among HighChurch Anglicans will becomeincorporated into Catholic pietyon July 9 as the Church offi­cially honors the B1essed Virginwith the title of Our Lady ofthe Atonement.

In an article slated for publi­cation soon Atonement FatherTitus Cranny of Graymoor N.Y.,points out that the title and thetiming have special significancein light of the 200th anniver­sary of the United States' inde­pendence from British rule.

"Mary is garbed in red, whiteand blue," Father Cranny pointsout. "Red for the mantle shewears in honor of the PreciousBlood; a blue tunic beneath thecloak, and on her head a whiteveil."

According to Father Cranny,"With these colors, she is theAmerican Madonna."

The devotion began in theUnited States at the turn of thecentury under the founders ofthe Society of the Atonement, atthat time a small order of Ang1i­cans following the rule of St.Francis of Assisi. In 1909, the17-member group was receivedinto the Catholic Church by per­mission of Pope St. Pius X.

Mother of UnityIn his article, Father Cranny

points out that the title of OurLady of the Atonement is "some­what limited to -the religiouscommunities at Graymoor" ­headquarters of the order, whichhas as its principal goal reli­gious unity.

Have We

Missed

Mark?THE FOLLOWING EDITORIAL by Marty

Harrison, news editor, appeared in Today'sCatholic, the San Antonio archdiocesan news­paper~

A funny thing happened on the way to thebicentennial.

What should have been the most festive ofoccasions -the 200th bit1:hday of the -greatestdemocracy the world has ever known - isfalling short. .

What should have been a joyous celebrationof freedom hasn't measured up.

Somehow, we have managed to miss themark.

The bishops of Florida; iIi a bicentennialpastoral, put it into focus. Calling America a"powerful but confused nation," they attributedthis confu~ion to "the forces of history, the col­lapse of culture, the erosion of traditional valuesand the disparagement of major institutions."

"Power tends to confuse itself with virtue,"they say, "and a great nation is peculiarly vul­nerable to the temptation to think of itself asempowered with near-divine attributes."

"Our nation is 'under God.' It is not Goditself."

Truly, we do not have as much to celebrateon this bicentennial as our Constitution guaran­tees we should have -,and much of the celebrat­ing we have devised is hardly worthy of a greatnation.

We have packaged and sold our nation'sbirthday party in every commercial form, fromred, white and blue caskets to tricolor wigs.

We have inundated our shops with an end­less stream of bicentennial souvenirs and trin­kets.

And alas, a number of cities could find nobetter way to squander bady needed monies thanto trot out red, white and' blue buses and - ifyou please - red, white and blue fire hydrants.Not only is this ari inexcusable waste, it is aninsult to citizens squeezed by inflation andpicked clean by outrageous utility ripoffs.

And there is something grotesque aboutseeing our national colors draping the ugly phy­sique of fire hydrants.

Greed, ignorance and bad taste are runningrampant.

It was inevitable in an economic setup suchas ours that the bicentennial was to be celebrated,to a great extent, in the marketplace - to berecalled in future years by dusty mementoes onthe shelf.

But it also should have been celebrated inthe lives of our people - in the joys of a· God­fearing citizenry free from prejudice, moral cor­ruption and the pain of poverty.

We have packaged and sold our nation'sbirthday party in every commercial form, fromred, white and blue caskets to tricolor wigs.

We have inundated our shops with an end­less stream of bicentennial souvenirs and trin­kets.

And alas, a number of ciUes could find nobetter way to squander badly needed moniesthim to trot out red, white and blue buses andfire hydrants.

Somewhere between the dream of 1776 andthe reality of 1976 we lost our way.

In recent years the two highest electedofficials of the nation - the president and vicepresident - were driven from office due to mis­conduct of the most profane nature.

Top leaders of giant corporations have beenfound guilty of giving bribes to obtain contracts.

Labor leaders, in some cases, have beenconvicted of stealing from pension funds.

And the two agencies charged with protect­ing our freedoms - 'the FBI and CIA - havebeen found to be as threatening to these veryfreedoms as any foreign despot, if not more sodue to their cloak of respectability.

And now there is the unfolding sex' scandalin Washington which, by the time it winds down,may make Watergate seem like a misdemeanor.

What went wrong, America? Did we loseour integrity? Did we lose our goals? Our pur­pose? And most frightening of all, did we loseour faith in God and in the living of His Com­mandments?

If we haven't, we 'surely need to take.a freshlook at our interpretation and implementation ofthese priceless treasures. If so, we as a peoplecertainly possess the heart and the stamina toreclaim them.

Discovering and calling attention to ourshortcomings does not accentuate the negativefor the sake of negativism. It is the mark of analert populace striving to eradicate the evilswithin.

It may be too late to set our house in orderfor the bicentennial. But it is not too late for thetricentennial. Perhaps by 2076 we will at longlast truly see to it that our people live up to theaims of our God, our heritage and our Constitu­tion - and that we will in actuality be a nationof liberty and justice for all.

If not, there probably won't be a tricenten­tennial to fuss over anyway.

• OKAY, THEN, HOW ABOUT A FOOR-BOX THATPLAYS .I'M A YANKEE lX)()DLE VANDY'?"

There are a number of indica­tions, Aguiar maintains, that thecentral government in New Del­hi is ready to require compul­sory sterilization for couples,throughout a'll India, who havemore than two children.

It is true, he notes, that VicePresident M.G.S. Pathak of In­dia, told a 1973 internationalcongress on demography thatrespect for the human dimensionis the central objective of thegovernment's population pro­gram. The government, he said,always accents the fact that thecooperation of the people andtheir decision concerning thelimitation of births must alwaysbe voluntary.

Right of Progress

As Aguiar pointedly remarks,however, this was said beforethe present "state of emergency"took effect in India. At the pres­ent, as Prime Minister Gandhiherself has . stated, "certainrights must give way to the right(sic) of progress."

The Archbishop of Bombay,Cardinal Valerian Gracias, hasvigorously protested against thegovernment's population pro­gram, noting that compulsorysterilization constitutes "a viola­tion of a fundamental humanright and an affront to the dig­nity of the human person."Aguiar uses even stronger lan­guage to characterize the gov­ernment's sterilization program."In a totalitarian state," he said,"the nation is supreme. The peo­ple don't count."

Those who still disagree withour criticism of the Gandhi re"gime are advised to address'their complaints to CardinalGracias and Aguiar, both ofwhom live in Bombay.

May issue of the French Cath­olic documentary magazine, In­ternational Catholic Informatiorr(ICI). The author, B.M. Aguiar,a correspondent for the BombayTablet, is much more criticalof the Indian government than I,as a foreigner, would dare tobe. He reports that Prime Min­ister Gandhi stated last Januaryat a· Congress Party meetingthat the Indi~n government,with a view to promoting limita­tion of births, was prepared totake "vigorous measures whichwould not be to the liking ofalt"

either that the Gandhi regime isnot, in fact, repressive, or that,even if it is, Americans have noright to pass judgment on it. Insummary, most of our corre­spondents seem to think that weAmericans should leave it to theIndian people to handle theirown political affairs andshould not expect India or anyother developing nation to beguided or governed by our ownless than perfect standards ofdemocracy.

For the sake of argument, let .us .concede that point and, in·deference to our correspon-

. dents, cite only Indian sourcesby way of corrobqrating ourcriticism of Mrs. Gandhi's gov­ernment.

Our first source is a statementby the International League forthe Rights of Man calling uponthe United Nations to launch afull-scale investigation of whatit charged was "a consistentpattern of gross violations ofhuman rights" over the pastyear by the government of India.A 73-page dossier documentingthe League's charges was basedon data compiled by the People'sStruggle Committee, composedof four major opposition partiesin India. Violations documentedby the committee included arbi­trary arrests, "official' policy oftorture, brutality and other mis­treatment of political prison­ers," and. the suspension of freespeech, press and assembly. Thereport puts the number of polit­ical arrests in India at between30,000 and 75,000.

Paper Operation

Recently, a major Catholicuniversity offered everythingbut its football field to. one ofsociology's big names. The wholeprofession knows that this par­ticular big name has devotedmost of his time in recent yearsto academic politics and has avery meager publication listduring' those .years. It wouldhave been a "prestige" appoint­ment because it would havegotten the university a lot ofpublicity, but it would also havegotten it a lot of trouble and nopublications. That is what a na­tiona1 research center doesn'tneed.

If I were one of the leadersof the Church, I wouldn't votefor a free and well-funded re­search operation. Such a unitwould find many unpleasantthings about the performance ofAmerican Catholicism. And youcouldn't dismiss its findingsnearly a,s easily as you' can dis­miss NORC's research. Afterall, if the findings come from an"official" center, they havesome "official" impact - andthen you are in trouble withRome. So what the hierarchyreally wants is a paper organiza­tion that provides a nice frontbut which doesn't really doanything.

And that would be very typ­ical of American Catholicism.

All their reportsshould go on the public record,and their budget should not beless than a half-million a year,and probably closer to a million.Anything less and one shouldconclude that the hierarchy issimply not serious about whatthey are doing.

Now, the Catholic tendency inthis country is just the opposite.When they want a "consultant"to validate something (or to in­validate someone), they call inelderly non-Catholics who havelong since stopped publishing,and who, despite impressive rep­utations, are not qualified totalk about what they are sup­posed to talk about.

idea. The astute power brokerswho are currently holding theChurch together will argue toenough of the others to get amajority that one way to keepthe NORCnicks off your back isto have your own research staff.

It might fly.

The idea is kind of unfair,however, to CARA (Center .forApplied Research in the Apos­tolate) which has tried with al­most no hierarchal help to playthis role for the past decade.The diligent efforts of the CARAcrowd deserve more recognition .than they' have received - and ­much more in the way of re­search funding.

The big question about suchan official church research cen­ter-and I personally will be:lieve it when I see it-is whetherit will have the budget and thefreedom to do what it ought todo or whether, like a lot ofother captive agencies of theChurch, it will be underfinanced,understaffed, and under control.

Close Look at Stafr

One will want to take a veryclose look at the kind of menand women who are appomtedto staff such an operation. SinceI would not run if nominate<t,and would not serve if elected(not that anyone would thinkthat possibility anyhow), I per­haps might be excused for de­scribing the kind of staff whichwould give a National CatholicResearch Center some credibil­ity.

The staff members should beyoung, ambitious, well trained

"would be a grave injustice tothe People of God." A sure signof the Spirit's presence is thatmore and more women - andmen-are recognizing this andworking for justice.

4. The needs of racial minor­ities, of the Spanish-speaking,of white ethnics, of the elderly:These are a few of the challengeswhich have given rise to numer­ous peace and justice centersacross the country, with officialand/or unofficial Church spon­sorship and support. The growthof these centers seems to me tobe a great instance of the move­ment of the Spirit.

The list certainly could go on.But the lesson is clear. We knowthat "the Spirit is a'moving alIover the land" because we seesimilar results in our Church aswere experienced by Jesus whenHe was moved by the Spirit.The works of justice are greatsigns of the Spirit in today'sChurch. '

BY FATHERPETER J. HENRIOT, S.J.

"The Spirit is a'moving, allover, all over this land!" Howoften have I heard that popularfolk song in recent years? Andhow often have I reflected onthe reality of its message? Truly,the Spirit is a'moving in ourChurch in the United States to­day. I believe we are experienc­ing that "New Pentecost" whichPope John asked us to pray forback in the early 1960s whenthe Second Vatican Council wasbeginning. It has not alwaysbeen an easy experience. Likethe early Christian commu­nity at the time of the firstPentecost, we've been shaken,disturbed, confused. But theSpirit has shown itself in bothdramatic and quiet ways: renew­ing, refreshing, recreating.

One great sign of the pres­ence of the Holy Spirit, it seemsto me, is in the increasing ded­ication of the Church to theworks of social justice. Somehave feared that the spiritual re­newal movement in recent years-retreats, liturgies, charismaticmovement, houses of prayer, etc...,..-might turn people away froman active concern for social is­sues. Occasionally there doesseem to be instances of thisturning inward on the part ofsome people in the Church. ButI really don't think it is possiblefor a genuine inspiration, "blow­ing," of the Spirit to turn usaway from that "action on be­half of justice" which the 1971Synod of Bishops said was anabsolutely necessary element inthe preaching of the Gospel. Itsimply would not be the Spiritof Jesus that moved me if I wasdistracted from a strong com­mitment to justice.

Five-Year Plan

The truth of this can be seenfrom a look at the fourth chap­ter of Luke, verse 14-21. Therewe learn that when jesus beganHis ministry immediately afterHis Baptism, "the power of theHoly Spirit was with him."Coming to Nazareth, He beganHis first public homily by mak­ing His own the words of Isaiah:"'The Spirit of the Lord is uponme" And He tells us the conse­quence of that anointing withthe Spirit: preaching the GoodNews to the poor, proclaimingliberty to captives, giving sightto the blind, freeing the op­pressed. These are the works ofjustice. This is the ministry ofwhoever is moved by the Spiri,t.

And so we can look aroundthe Church today in the UnitedStates and see much of the pres­ence and activity of the HolySpirit. Responding to the insis­tent call of the Church's recentsocial teaching, Catholics are be­coming more and more involvedin efforts to bring justice to thestructures and conditions of oursociety. Let me mention just afew of these "signs of the Spirit"

One of my bigger surprisesand disappointments in thepriestly ministry has been pre­Cana or marriage preparationsessions.

I looked forward a few yearsafter ordination with great an­ticipation to my first experiencebefore a group of engaged cou­ples. After all, they were young,in love, and presumably anxiousto hear words of w\sdom aboutthe sacrament of matrimony; I,too, was young, supposedly re­lated fairly well to people ofthat age bracket· and enjoyedspeaking on this topic.

Then came the shock. Mostof the 50 plus couples sat sullenand silent, arms folded, eyes onthe clock, feet shuffling backand forth under the chairs.

Jokes which normaHy drewstrong laughter hardly broughta smile. Questions were fewand far between. There was noapplause, no thank-yous, nowarm fuzzies at the end, onlya rapid departure from the au­ditorium.

The Acts of the Apostles isreally a continuation of theGospel of Luke. Together Lukeand Acts form a two-volumework. The Gospel relates theproclamation of the Good Newsby Jesus that was finally ac­complished by His death, Resur-'rection and exaltation. Acts tellsthe story of how the GoodNews spread from Jerusalem tothe "ends of the earth" after theResurrection.

In depicting the emergence ofChristianity from a Jewish sectto a catholic religion, Lukeplaces great emphasis upon thework of the Holy Spirit in guid­ing the spread of the Word,forming the early community ofbelievers and in adding to itsnumbers.

Luke also emphasizes the im­portance of Jerusalem as theplace chosen by God from whichthe Good News would be spreadas the center of the ApostolicChurch and Apostolic authority.

In addition, they allowed theyoung lovers to talk and avoidedlecturing to them. Moreover theyconveyed genuine interest andjoy in the couple, indicating howmuch they benefited from theengaged persons' sharing oftheir inner selves with them.

Married couples like this areable to make points about theChurch and religion more effec­tively than we as priests can do.Those who seldom participatein Sunday Mass expect the cler­gy to say something about that-it is our "job"; similar wordsfrom concerned lay people havegreater impact.

The Acts come' to an end inabout the year 63 A.D., whilePaul is imprisoned in Rome. It isnot certain why Luke chose toend his narrative at that point.Some speculate that he carriedit to the moment of compositionand simply stopped. Others feelthat he concluded the narrativewith what he saw as the fulfill­ment of Jesus' words: "You willreceive power when the HolySpirit comes down on you; thenyou are to be my witness inJerusalem, throughout Judea andSamaria, yes, even to the endsof the earth" (Acts 1:8).

Spirit, and ours too," (15:28),the Spirit speaks to Philip (8:29)and to Peter (10:19), and theSpirit selects Paul and Barnabas(13:2).

Acts refers to the disciples ofJesus as the "ekklesia" orchurch, a term used to describethe People of God in the OldTestament (7:38). The life of theChurch is described in the con­text of the early Jerusalem com­munity, centered around Apos­tolic teaching, breaking of thebread (Eucharist), prayer andthe common possession of prop­erty (2:42-47).

The Church in Acts possessesa definite hierarchical structurebut also has those whose rolesstem from special charisms orgifts of the Spirit (11:27, 13:1f).

Apostles are the first teachers(u:2) and primary witnesses tothe life, teachings and resurrec­tion of Jesus (1:21-22). Peter isclearly the leader.

Episkopoi (bishops) and pres­byteroi (priests) are leaders ofthe communities with diakonoi(deacons) appointed to care forwidows and children and to par­ticipate in the ministry of theWord. '

Jesus identifies Himself withthe Church (9:5) making it clearthat whatever is done to Hisdisciples because of Him is doneto Jesus Hlimself.

Each discourse, beginningwith Peter's Pentecost sermon(2-14-19) and concluding withPaul's address to the Jews ofRome (28:17-20) marks a deci­sive step in the spread of theWord.

Acts can be divided into twoportions. The first, of whichPeter is the principal figure, de­scribes the spread of the GoodNews in Palestine, and includesthe first nine chapters.

The second portion, whichcenters on Paul, is concernedwith the spread of the GoodNews to the Gentiles and in­cludes the books' concluding18 chapters.

Theological Themes

Luke's principaI sources ofmaterial were Paul, to whom hewas a companion, Mark, whowas Peter's companion andscribe, Philip the Deacon, andothers with whom Luke came incontact in Antioch, Ephesus andCaesarea.

The "we" sections of Acts(16:10-17, 20:5-15, 21:1-18 and27:1-28-28:16) attest to Luke'sown experiences as being oneof his major sources.

Salvation, Christ, the HolySpirit and the Church are thegreat theological themes ofActs.

The themes of the Holy Spiritand the Church, are distinctiveto Acts which could well be de­scribed as the Gospel of theHoly Spirit or the Gospel of theChurch.

In the Old Testament theSpirit was seen and understoodas the impersonal power of Godbut in Acts the Spirit is depictedas a divine being, personal anddistinct from the Father and theSon.

Following the Council of Jeru­salem, the Apostles write that:"It is the decision of the Holy'

Life

The prose following this introduction is unique. In thefirst place, the work is not a very good one, but it's movingfaster than any other entry in the top 100 chart songs.Secondly, it is not a song at all, but a monologue spoken withbackground musical accompaniment. Thirdly, for the first timesince we have been writing this column, the "song" is goingto be longer than the article.

If there is some explanation for the success of so differentan entry, it is that "IOU" hits the markets at a timely moment.Its theme gives thanks for motherhood in a season when morepeople leave home than any other time of year. Summer is theseason of graduations, marriages, summer camps and newcareers. And suddenly many people realize they have takenfor granted the generosity of certain special individuals, espe­cially mothers. If this musical monologue is not artisticallymemorable, at least the experience to which it points arousesmemories that are considerably more profound.You know, most people look through their wallets or theirpocketbooks and way down at the bottom past the creditcards and baby pictures and green stamps you usually finda little old dog-eared piece of poetry. I was cleaning out mywallet the other day and I ran across a whole bunch of IOUs,some of them 30 years overdue. Funny thing is that all theseIOUs are owed to one person. And I feel like right nowmight a pretty good time for an accounting.Mom, you listening? Mom, lowe you for so many things,a lot of services, like night watchman, for instance; for lyingawake nights listening' for coughs, cries,creaking floor boards,and me coming in lat~. You had the eye of an eagle, the roarof a lion; but you always had a heart as big as a house.lowe you for services as a short order cook, chef, baker, formaking sirloin out of hamburger, turkey out of tunafish, andtwo big old strapping boys out of leftovers.lowe you for cleaning services, for the daily scrubbing offace and ears, all work done by hand, and for the frequentdusting of a small boy's pants to try to make sure that heled a spotless life. And for washing and ironing no laundrycould ever do, for drying the tears of childhood, and forironing out the problems of growing up.lowe you for service as a bodyguard, for protecting me fromthe terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares and too manygreen apples. .And Lord knows lowe you for medical attention, for nursingme through measles, mumps, bruises, bumps, splinters andspring fever. And let's not forget medical advice either, oh no,important things like: "Don't scratch it or it won't get well,""If you cross your eyes they're gonna stick like that," andprobably most important of all was "Be sure you got on cleanunderwear, boy, in case you're in an accident."And lowe you for veterinarian services, for feeding everylost dog that I dragged home at the end of a rope, and forhealing the pains of puppy love.And lowe you for entertainment, entertainment that kept thehousehold going during some pretty tough times, for wonderfulproductions at Christmas, Fourth of July, and birthdays, andfor making "make-believe" come true on a very limitedbudget.lowe you for construction work, for building kites, confidence,hopes and dreams; and somehow you made them all touchthe sky. And for cementing a family together so'it wouldstand the worst kinds of shocks and blows. And for layingdown a good strong foundation to build a life on.lowe you for carrying charges, for carrying me on your booksfor the necessities of life that a growing boys just gotta have,things like a pair of high top boots with a little pocket onthe side for a jackknife.And one thing, Mom, I will never, ever forget; when therewere only two pieces of apple pie left and three hungry peopleI noticed that you were the one who suddenly decided thatyou really didn't like apple pie in the first place.These are just a few of the things for which payment is longoverdue. The person lowe them to worked very cheap. Shemanaged by simply doing without a whole lot of things thatshe. needed herself. My IOUs add up to much more than Iever hope to repay. But you know the nicest thing about it allis that I know that she'll mark the entire bill "Paid in Full"for just one kiss and for little words: Mom, I love you.

We continue with letters fromconcerned readers - concerredfor the youth in distress in ourmidst who seem to be over­looked. Why are they over­looked?

Jesus '76 is third in a seriesof Jesus celebrations, the firstof which was held in Morgan­town, Pa. Other Jesus '76 cel­ebrations are scheduled forNorth Carolina, Canada andPen~sylvania.

C. J. Mahaney, 22, and LarryTomczak, 25, of Washington,D.C., were two Catholic preach­ers at Jesus '76. "Years ago weheld what we helieved in private,almost in secret," Tomczak said."Now" we boldly proclaim .andwitness to Jesus."

He called on the audience torespond by raising hands, Biblesand voices.

of those donnybrooks with him.and I can remember his lastword, So long-this is the lasttime we're getting into one ofthese hassles. He left, angry,got into his car, drove off in ablind rage, and just a few hun­dred feet away from the house,the car hit a tree and he wasdead.

"I am living with that horri­ble nightmare and each day is astruggle. His father and I areto blame for his death. We knowit. No one can tell us otherwise.

"I hope this letter will helpsome more intelligent parents totake it easy with their children.To discipline, yes, and to teachright from wrong, yes, but tosit down and listen, too. Not' tomake fun of what the child issaying-not to be sarcastic andleave nothing for that child toremember but hard feelings andangry words when he or sheleaves the house.

"We are the ones who havemade this crazy society - notthey. We sat around lettingthings happen while we had. ourdrinks and good times. The fewwho dared or cared to speakout were laughed at. There weretoo many of us on the wrongside and what chance did thegood ones have?

"Where I worked it was im­possible to think a good thought.All the people cared about waswhat were they going to do fora good time over the weekend.Their children came last. I wasone of those guilty ones. I feltmy son was in the way. Oh, ifonly I could do it over again.I'd give my life for him, becausehe deserved to live and I don't.

"I'm having a hard time get­ting over this. It's the guilt thatbothers me. And my own stub­bornness and hard head. I feelbetter just writing this letter be­cause I know that someone likeyou, if anybody, understands. Iwish my son had had you totalk to. Thank you and Godbless you."
