Pope, councils, the College ofCardinals and the Synod ofBishops are not part of the Curiaitself but form a framework ofpolicy and decisions withinwhich the Roman Curia works.

This power of the bishops inunion with the pope is seenmost clearly in ecumenical coun­cils. The 21 ecumenical '(all­church) councils in history haveplayed a majQr rolE: in settlingdisputed questions and in estab­lishing long-range church poli­cies and discipline.

The last such counCil, Vati­can II, had a major impact onthe structures of the RomanCuria - the church's centraladministration - and the waythey operate, as well as onchurch life in general.

Other broad structures for de­cision-making in the church arethe CQllege of Cardinals and theWorld Synod of Bishops.

The most important functionsof the College of Cardinals areto govern the church betweenpapacies and to elect a newpope. In recent centuries thesewere the Qnly reasons the col­lege was convened.

But in 1979 Pope John PaulII convoked the cardinals to ad­vise him on Vatican finances,the organization and operationof the Roman Curia and thework Qf pontifical academies,particularly the academy of sci­ences.

AVILA, Spain '(NC) - Spani­ards are resurrecting thethoughts and spirit of St. Teresaof Avila, Carmelite reformer andmystic, as the country nears the400th anniversary of her death.

The commemoration of St.Teresa "must prompt us to blowthe dust off our faith and shareher eJ(perience of God," wroteCardinal Vicente Enrique Taran­con of Madreid, in charge of thecommemorative celebrations tobegin in October. _Archb~hop Elias Yanes of

Zaragoza said that "we still holdvery much alive the work andlife of St. Teresa."

The archbishop mentioned herwritings, the Carmelites con­vents which continue in her

"spiritual style, and the docu­ments about her daily deeds andspiritual eJ(periences.

Her commemoration will lasta full year, ending on the anni­versary of her death. St. Teresadied October 4, 1582, at Alba deTormes near Salamanca, after

VATICAN CITY (NC) - PopeJohn Paul II has urged Catholicsin Ireland to imitate the eJ(ampleof a 17-century martyr, St. Oli­ver Plunkett, by working towardreconciliation and healing thewounds of division.

In a letter to Cardinal TimothyManning of Los Angeles, his rep­resentative at a celebrationmarking the 300th anniversaryof the Irish saint's martyrdom,the pope spoke of his "earnestdesire" that the Catholics of Ire­land ~'follow the enmple of thearden St. Oliver, who . . . wasdeterred by nothing (in workingto heal) the wounds if discordand dissension."

If itis the nature of man to specu­late, the stories of Lazarus andof the many canonized saintswho have experienced "mysticaldeath" should provide a wealthof material for the men and wo­men who find this field fascina­tin. Our desire to speCUlate onthese matters is made obviousby the popularity of books aboutmodern Lazaruses and moviessuch as "Coma."

Who can forget the story ofLazarus returned to life afterfour days in the tomb? We knowso little about this tantalizingfigure we are apt to imagine himbored, restless and discontentedwith whatever life could offerafter such an experience. Andmystical death is another mat­ter worth pursuing.

Such "deaths" are not self-in­duced, nor do they lead to aban­donment of temporal responsibili­ties. They cannot be written offas mere psychological states al­though they are difficult to au­thenticate.

They have been experiencedby such contemplatives as St.Teresa of Avila and St. John ofthe Cross, who enjoyed such adegree of ecstasy that they liter­ally forgot everything but theEternal, yet returned to theworld without being at all as wesuspect Laarus might have been- completely at odds with hishumdrum environment.

After a recent funeral, a wo­man told me of a discussion shehad with a group of friends whoclaimed to be Christian.

Life after deathfor everyone seem to involvesuch a leap of faith for themthat they dealt with it as merespeculation and dismissed itwithout further ado.

Such discussions usually oc­cur among so-called broad­minded people. It is preciselythis attitude, held by many Ro­man Catholics and mainline Pro­testants, that has created thevacuum now being filled by theevangelicals. Unfortunately, someevangelical Protestants are act­ing in the tradition of Jonah inprophesying doom for those theyjudge to be sinners.

A Matter of Fidelity

In its document on social communications, Vatican IIdeveloped in detail the role of the Catholic press, clearlyoutlining the duties of those who, in the name of the church,present the Catholic point of view.

The Catholic press, the document states, can be mar­velously effective both in bringing knowledge of the churchto the world and the converse. In doing this, the press mustrecall the council statement to the effect that "when theevents of the day raise questions that touch fundamentalChristian principles, the Catholic press will try to interpretthese in accordance with the teaching magisterium of thechurch."

Let it be made clear that council directives· are morethan a collection of pious platitudes. Catholics in unionwith the see of Peter cannot approach documents that havebeen voted upon by the college of bishops and approved bythe Holy Father with an a la carte mentality. They reflectthe official "handing on" of the Word for our day and time.

In recent weeks the council mind concerning theCatholic press has been applied as a guideline in a letterto United States bishops from the Pope's personal repre­sentative in Washington, the Apostolic Delegate.

In this letter the bishops were cautioned about recentcomplaints forwarded to the Holy See concerning certainarticles and syndicated columns in American diocesanpapers that lack respect for the magisterium and criticizeand attack the person of the Holy Father.

Reaction from some areas of the American Catholicpress was predictable. Of course the loudest lamentationemanated from our dear old friend, angry Andrew. In arepeat of many past performances, Father Greeley tookthe letter as a personal affront.

Well-known for his sensitivity to criticism ana hisvery thin skin, he immediately fell back on the platitudesof liberty and freedom of the press.

Instead Father Greeley should read some of the columnson the Holy See he has offered his readers. There can belittle doubt from his own writing that he has made scanteffort to support the work of the present pope.

Busy as he is with his popularity as a secular novelist,perhaps it has not occurred to him that the vast majorityof Catholics deplore distorted commentaries on the HolyFather and his words, especially when they come from onesupposedly his coworker in the vineyard.

If Father Greeley thinks that the directives of the HolySee were aimed at him, he should also realize that his ownpen proves that it was time he was made aware that papalinfallibility is not a shared responsibility.

To be sure, at one time Father Greeley was a refreshingspirit in the world of the Catholic press. But as with aworn out record, his original music has become distortedand unrecognizable. His inability to accept any form ofcriticism and his invectives at those who even dare mentionthat he has an Achilles heelliead one to question his sincerityof intent· and purpose. .

The Catholic press has an inherent obligation to upholdfreedom and truth. It must never· be afraid to report justcriticism and unbiased evaluations.

However, it should be made quite clear, and thisepisode provides an opportunity to do so, that the Catholicpress must always be Catholic, with a big C, when it comesto upholding the dignity and person of the Holy Father.

It is a matter of fidelity.

As Rep. Jack Edwards, R-Ala.,said, "We have turned the cor­ner. It is going to hurt, and yetwe know that it has got to bedone. I don't come here to con­demn anyone. What we arereally seeing is the last gasp ofthe liberals,"

Speaker Tip O'Neill's lumpy,bleak face confirmed it. He satin the sixth row, sometimes withsome grieving confederates,sometimes alone. He was in pro­cess of becoming leader in nameonly.

Things can only get worse forhim, he realizes. Reagan, adver­tised as a go-easy, laid-backpresident, is showing as muchmuscle as Lyndon Johnson. Notfor him the pious disapproval ofa Jimmy Carter in his hopelessdealings with the congressionalbeast. Reagan has thrown a ropearound the critter and wrassledit to the ground.

Like other Democrats, O'Neillwas fleetingly hopeful at thenews that Reagan had droppednine points in the polls. He hadseen the president's last limppress conference,' in which herevealed the great gaps in hisknowledge of foreign affairs. Inthe House, however, Reagan wasAlexander the Great, conquerorof the known world. The debatewas often raucous - Rep. PaufSimon, D-Ill., said the action wasin the best tradition of a statelegislature - but it was not ran­corous. No one dared accuse thepresident of heartlessness orhighhandedness.

The members were not inter­ested in the words, only themusic. They were like the votersof France, who gave FrancoisMitterand a commanding Social­ist majority in the parliament,not necessarily because they be­lieve in socialism but becausethey want to give a new leadera good crack at something new.

But if the House knows whyit did what it did, it is not surewhat it did. In many offices,people are not sure, for instance,if Legal Services is dead or alive,if the Low-Income Weatheriza­tion program survived or waskilled. They will presumablyknow more later.

All they knew during thestormy afternoon when the USSLiberalism was going down wasthat they had to win one for theGipper.

The faithful Democrats railed,with reason, that Ronald Rea­gan's ultimatum was a digrace­fully sloppy document with mil­lions scratched out and millionsscratched in and a telephonenumber scrawled in a corner. Itwould never have been acceptedas a freshman term paper.

Rep. Barber Conable, R~.Y.,

a serious man with some feelingfor the institution, conceded thatit was a poor show, which mustnever be repeated. But, he said,"the issue is, are we going tocut the budget or are we goingto back out?"

Rep. Dan Rostenkowski,chairman of the Ways andMeans Committee, observed for­lornly, "I don't think there isany possibility of changing mindson the other side of the cham­ber."

attacks on Mrs. O'Connor "miff­ed~' legislators considered pro­life.

For her part, Mrs. O'Connordeclined to discuss her views onabortion, leaving clarification ofthose questions to her confirma­tion hearings in the Senate laterthis year.

The O'Connor nomination thussets up another major test ofpro-life strength in the Senate,which has been perceived asstrongly anti-abortion ever sincethe Republicans became themajority earlier this year. Atleast one pro-life group, the LifeAmendment Political ActionCommittee, whose "hit lists"have been said to contribute tothe downfall of several senators,is promising political retaliationshould Mrs. O'Connor make itthrough the confirmation pro­cess.

But the uproar could be mutedby Mrs. O'Connor herself whenshe explains her views on abor­tion. Like Bush, she may con­vince people that her personalopposition to abortion passes thetest of the Republican platform'scall for judges who respect hu­man life.

Far more dangerous iE con­trolling everything they do, read,and study for 18 years and thenletting them out into an uncon­trolled society without any ex­perience in choosing and discard­ing values.

no?ye's,tioned Reagan's selection tojump back on the bandwagon.

But concern surfaced again inearly fall when a Reagan politi­cal coordinator discussing abor­tion told a women's group thatReagan "would not require any­one to take any other oath orvows than the one under theConstitution."

Reagan in the meantime con­tinued to speak out on abortionand stress his support for a hu­man life amendment to the Con­stitution. But he also denied sev­eral times that the plank in theplatform about the appointmentof judges constitutes an anti­abortion "litmus test."

"Abortion is obviously a vitalissue, but I will not promulgatein advance a 'litmus test' forjudicial appointments," Reagantold the National Catholic NewsService in' a written interviewshortly before the election.

In announcing Mrs. O'Connor'sappointment, Reagan lingeredlong enough in the White Housepress room to respond that hewas "completely satisfied" withthe Arizona judge's right-to-lifeviews. And White House officials.later told reporters that their re­view of Mrs. O'Connor's recordshowed that pro-life oppositionto the nomination was ill·founded.

However, Dr. Carolyn Gerster,former National Right to LifeCommittee president who likeMrs. O'Connor lives in Arizona,contended it was "commonknowledge" in the state that thenominee was "philosophicallyagainst us."

But Sister of St. Joseph ClareDunn," a current member of theArizona legislature, said that

Pro-life:Though the nomination

of Sandra Day O'Connor tobe the first woman on theSupreme Court sent a tidalwave of disappointmEmt throughthe pro-life movement, PresidentReagan himself indi.cated lastyear that someone like Mrs. 0'Connor might be his choice forthe high court.

Reagan throughout his cam­paign for president voiced strongsupport for the Republican plat­form's call for the appointmentof judges who respect "the sanc­tity of innocent humEln life."

And as far as pro-lifers wereconcerned, the high point of thecampaign came when Reagansaid in the Sept. 21 debate withindependent candidat.~ John An­derson that didn't think it wasa bad idea at all that judges haverespect for human Hfe. Ander­son, like others, had said ideol­ogy on issues such liS abortionor "the family" should play nopart in the nomination of judges.

Reagan and his aides, how­ever, added several times thatthere would be no "loyalty oath"on abortion and thElt abortionwould not be a "litmus test" onwhich the qualifications ofajudge would stand or fall.

Though Reagan's candidacywas quickly embraced by manypro-life groups, there was linger­ing concern among others abouthis commitment to the cause.That concern became even morepronounced when Rellgan select­ed George Bush, who had com­paigned against a human lifeamendment as his running mate.

Bush later said he supportedReagan's platform in full, lead­ing groups which initially ques-

There's a little bit of Mexicoon ~New Bedford's KemptonStreet, where four Sisters of OurLady of Guadalupe, known asthe Guadalupanas, make theirhome.

The sisters, in the diocese fornearly six years, work in theHispanic apostolate in Attleboro,Taunton and New Bedford, or·ganizing CCD programs andsummer Bible schools, Legion ofMary and Children of Marygroups and making home andhospital visits. They also aid newarrivals with the complexities ofwelfare and social security sys­tems.

Although the sisters are Mexi-

can and the majority of diocesanHispanics are from Puerto Rico,Sister Maria Rivera, their super­ior, said that cultural differencesare not difficult to overcome.

Speaking in softly accentedEnglish, she said that the com- .munity, founded in 1930 at theBasilica of Our Lady of Guada­lupe in Mexico City, now num­bers some 250 members.

The sisters h~ve houses in fourFlorida cities, where they minis­ter to Cubans and immigrantMexicans. They are also esta~-

lished in Puerto Rico. -When they arrived in the Fall

River diocese in the fall of 1975,recalls Father Peter N. Graziano,

director of Diocesan Social Ser­vices, it was a great event forarea Hispanics, many of whomtraveled to Greene Airport inRhode Island "to welcome themwith cheers, hymns and em­braces."

For their part the sisters saythey enjoy their New Englandhome, particularly appreciatingthe changing seasons: They takeadvantage of their free time tobetter acquaint themselves withthe diocesan area, often makingtrips to historic sites.

And the word to all visitors totheir New Bedford convent is"bienvenidos."

The Council for the PublicAffairs of the Church, once call­ed the First Section of the Sec­retariat of State, has been a

separate entity since 1967 but isstilI closely linked to the secre­tariat. It is in charge of diplo~

matic and special dealings withcivil governments and shareswith the secretariat the chargeof papal representatives and ofHoly See correspondence anddocuments.

Thus these two closely linkedagencies - the Secretariat ofState and the Council for the

Public Affairs of the Church ­form the most powerful part ofthe Roman Curia, linking thepope with the rest of the Curia,with the bishops and with civilgovernments and if}ternationalorganizations.

Under the streamlining of theCuria by Pope Paul VI in 1967,virtually all church businesscame through the Secretariat ofState before it reached the pope.

ROME (NC) - Pope JohnPaul II's viral infection "cannotyet be considered to have runits full course," the nine-manmedical team attending the popesaid July 11. They said that thepope's illness "is characterizedby progressive increase in thecount of the specific antibodiesfor cytomegalovirus."

Dr. Emilio Tresalti said the61-year-old pope was keeping toa "fairly intensive" work sched­ule.

He refused to estimate whenPope John Paul would be re­leased from the hospital or whenhe would undergo an operationto reverse a temporary colos­tomy performed May 13 after theattempt on his life.

The physician said that thetype of operation needed byPope John Paul is usually per­formed "one to three monthsafter the colostomy, but couldbe four to seven months after­ward without affecting the peris­taltic movement of the intes­tines." He would not comment onreports that the pope has lost5.5 pounds during his illness.

The deaths of McDonnell andHurson brought to six the num­ber of prisoners who have diedsince the hunger strike beganMarch 1.

At the time of Hurson's deathseven other prisoners were onhunger stirke. Of those, KieranDoherty, 25, who had been fast­ing for 52 days, was in the mostserious condition.

He explained that as its pen­dulum swings, it permits a ser­rated wheel to move forwardone tooth at a time. The swingregulates the speed at whichthe clock wheels turn.

Maintenance of the historicclock is far from Watts' only re­sponsibility. At present he isconstructing a cost-efficient soilaerator for Stonehill's athleticfields which he predicts will sur­pass the performance records ofmodels currently on the market.

The device, designed to be at­tached to a trailer, will be acylindrical roller with knife-liketriangular blades. It will makecuts in the ground to permitmoisture to reach tlie grassrootseasily, thus softening the play­ing fields' surface.

A South Easton resident,Watts has been at Stonehill forfour years. Another project forwhich he was responsible wasthe designing and building of themain college gate, which floatson oil and is therefore rust andsqueakptoof.

BELFAST, iNorthern Ireland(NC) - Within a week aftermediation by bisho:ps on theIrish Justice and Peace Com­mission appeared on the vergeof ending the hunger strike !byNorthern Irish prisoners, themediation effort broke down andtwo more hunger strikers died.

The deaths of Jose,ph McDon­nell, 30, on July 8 after 61 dayson hunger strike and of MartinHurson, 27, on July 13 after 45days on hunger strike provokedattacks on security forces byrioters in Belfast and London­derry, Northern Ireland's twolargest cities.

Clock cllimes at StonehillBy Barbara Waldron

The century-old stlleple clockof David Ames Clock Farm inNorth Easton is once more chim­ing. Originally the home of thefirst herd of Guernsey' cows inthe United States, the farm isnow part of the camp\l.8 of Stone­hill College, housing its buildingsand grounds department.

The farm takes its name fromits antique clock, dElscribed as"the most maintlmance-freetimepiece in the world" by itscaretaker, Philip Watts, a welderand construction worker atStonehill.

He said the clock, formerlyused to regulate working hoursfor farm laborers, and made bythe E. Howard Comps,ny of Wal­tham, moves by the Elnergy pro­duced by falling weights. It hasthree cables and two drums, castfrom weights and a (:rank muchlike that of a Model-T Ford. itis one of Watt's jobs to windthe massive timepi.ece everyfour days and keep it cleanedand oiled.

The Franciscan,' 85, is the lastsurvivor of the 21 children ofthe late Dieudonne and ClaraMasse. After graduation fromNotre Dame School in 1910 hestudi.ed f.nd was ordained inCanada.

During his active priesthoodhe was a m;s!';Ol:ary to IndianS,a prison chaplain, a parish priest,a college professor and a re­treat house administrator.

Over the years he has fre­quently celebrated Masses atNotre Dame where a brother,the late Father Roland J. Masse,was an associate pastor in the1950s. Another brother, FatherAlbert Masse, was also a priest.

In retirement, Father Masselives at a Franciscan center inMontreal.

WASHINGTON(NC) _. It istoo early to tell how ArizonaAppeals Court Judge Sandra 0'Connor would rule on contro­versial cases if her appointmentto the U.S. Supreme Court wereconfirmed. Her record as a legis­lator and judge seems mixed.

In newspaper analyses andcomments from her acq,uaint­ainces, colleagues and supportersMrs. O'Connor, 51, is describedas politically conservative butnot far-right; careful and precisein her judicial -rulings; faiir andopen-minded; inclined to supportstate courts' authority and mini­mal interference by federalcourts; and likely to be a so­called conservative on some is­sues and a moderate or libe'ral onothers. She is said to be i.ntelli­gent and hardworking all wellas politically astute. Attorneysin Arizona gave her a 90 percentapproval rating.

Her nomination to the Su­preme Court by President Rea­gan, has been blasted bJr pro­life groups who criticize whatthey say is a pro-abortion recordas a Republican state senEltor inArizona, where she was Senatemajority leader.

But the Democrat who suc­ceeded her as majority leader hasdenied that claim.

According to the NlltionalRight to Life Committee, whichis opposing the nomination, Mrs.O'Connor voted in 1970 for abill to legalize abortion in Ariz­ona, in 1973 for a family plan­ning bill which would have pro­vided birth control informationto minors without parenbll1 con­sent, in 1974 against a resolu­tion calling on Congress to enacta human life amendment, ,and in1974 against a bill forbiddingabortions at the University ofArizona.

According to newspaper arti­cles, in 1973 she also voted for abill allowing doctors and nursesto refuse to perform abortions.

President Reagan said be wassatisfied with her abortion views,and a White House spokesmansaid Mrs. O'Connor is person­ally opposed to abortion, Mrs.O'Connor herself, in a press con­ference after her nomination wasannounced, declined to discussabortion. "I'm sorry, I can't ad­dress myself to substantivEl ques­tions pending the confinnationhearing," she said.

Alfredo Gutierrez, a Democratwho followed Mrs. O'Connor asArizona Senate majority leader,denied that her record is "pro­abortion."

"That's absolutely not in therecord," he said. "It just isn'tthere," He said she was "con­servative in a conventional way,but she's no ideologue,"

"Such a position will sound tosome naive, I believe it is evenmore naive to think that we cancontinue a nuclear arms race andnot lead to a devastating nuclearwar," he said.

Thus breast-feeding is notonly nutrionally best but alsoculturally acceptable. However,as some mot1;lers find out, breast­feeding is not culturally accep­able to everyone. Critics ofbreast-feeding will only be of­fended, not converted, by obviousbreast-feeding in public.

•In

ana position has no standing inRoman Catholic tradition," thearchbishop said. "It is true thatas a general rule the laws ofthe state must be obeyed. How­ever, we may peacefully disobeycertain laws under serious con·ditions. There may even be timeswhen disobedience may be anobligation of conscience. Most·adults have lived through timesand situations where this wouldapply."

For example, he said, Christ­ians of the first three centuriesdisobeyed the laws of the Ro·man Empire and often went totheir death because of theirstands. Also people such as Dr.Martin Luther King engaged indemonstrat10ns that broke thelaw of the state to call attentionto injustices.

"The point is that civil law isnot an absolute. It is not a godthat must be obeyed under anyand all conditions. In certaincases where issues of great mor­al import are at stake, disobedi­ence to law in a peaceful man­ner and accompanied by certainsafeguards that help preserve re­spect for the institution of lawis not only allowed, but may be,as I have said, an obligation ofconscience."

Archbishop Hunthausen alsosaid that a bishop has a rightand duty to speak on issues andstrongly rejected the idea thatas a bishop he could not speakout on issues that involve thepolitical realm. But he noted thathe could not speak for all Cath­olics. ,

Archbishop Hunthausen saidfailure to achieve mutual dis·

Director namedfor Cape Services

Father Peter N. Graziano, dio­cesan director of Catholic So­cial Services, has announced theappointment of Peter D. Kirwinas director of Catholic SocialServices of Cape Cod.

Kirwin replaces James B. Car­son, who has retired. He has hadextensive social work and clini­cal training both in the publicand private sector. He is a resi­dent of North Falmouth.

Carson was the first directorof the Cape office and alsosupervised the diocesan coun­seling program.

At Zaragoza the needs of thechildren are the main concern.-Food is provided through relieforganizations, including CaritasInternational. Other basic needsare met by donations. In a war­torn economy, people donate asbest they can. Market women,for instance, put extra peppersand tomatoes in the shoppingbaskets of center workers astheir contribution to the child­ren.

Father Myers plans to builda town for the orphans with acapacity for 4,000 children. Hewants to name it after murderedArchbishop Oscar Romero ofSan Salvador.

More information about thecenter can be obtained fromZaragoza Orphanage, Diocese ofCleveland, 1031 Superior Ave.,Cleveland, Ohio 44114. Donationscan be sent to that address.

15 orphanages and churches hadsix other homes for childrenwhen Father Myers began ninemonths ago to concentrate onchildren needing special medicalattention.

The thin white-haired mission­ary has been a parish priest inZaragoza, a village 15 milessouthwest of San Salvador, forseven years. Last September hebrought home one child, then 10orphans whose mothers had beenkilled. Then he made room for55. By the end of June, therewere 190 children. When 30triple-layer bunk beds are com­pleted by a carpenter, there willbe room for more.

"A medical student volunteer­ed to help me here, so I thoughtwe could specialize in health carebringing in those children whoneeded special medical atten­tion," Father Myers said. "Whenthey have been in the hills, inthe rain, without food, theycome into refugee camps in badcondition."

The most common problemsare eye and skin infections, butlast fall, measles and chicken poxhit the camp. The medical stu­dent, who had completed twoyears of studies before his uni­versity was closed by the gov­ernment last year, feels he haslearned much more from his ex­perience at Zaragoza than hewould have in the classroom.

The children range from in­fants to 12-year-olds. Four in­fants were born in Zaragozawhose mothers were displacedby the war. Altogether, 28 moth­ers live and work at the center.

ZARAGOZA, El Salvador (NC)- There were nearly 200 child­ren playing in the courtyard be­hind the old chapel - smudge­faced boys and thin girls mother­ing the toddlers.

They were dressed in clothingranging from a faded Girl Scoutuniform to a designer-label T­shirt that had known better days.Some of the children's heads hadbeen shaved to remove licle, giv­ing them a prison-camp look.

The appearance of a strangerin the yard attracted a dozenchildren, competing with theirbest smiles, reaching out to betouched, saying with their' eyes,"Please notice me, let me be theone who is special."

Not all the children tried forrecognition, however. One satagainst the wall, rhythmicallybeating his forehead with hislittle fist. Others stayed near ayoung man who tried to coaxchords from an untuned guitar.Some molded mud unde:r thetrees near the laundry.

Because of the fighting in El .Salvador, no one has time tokeep statistics on orphans. Oftenthere is no way of knowing whois a true orphan or whether thefamily of a child who has :simplybeen lost will return to claimhim. According to church esti­mate., 22,000 non-combatantshave been killed in the past 18months and about 135,000 fami­lies have fled their homes.

Red Cross ambulances bringchildren found alone in the com­bat zones into the capital city ofSan Salvador and turn them overto volunteer organizations, butno one knows how many child­ren have been found or wherethey come from.

An even more serious consid­eration is the fact that the au­thor of Matthew used the Gos­pel of Mark as a resource, notas his only source.

All we can say positively hthat the author of Matthew wasa leader in a Jewish-gentileChristian community in the latefirst century.

Continued from page twelveHere were the buildings in whichthe supreme court of Athensmet. Everywhere were statuesof gods and goddesses, beautifulworks of art, but to Paul theystood for something very false.

In the city below, Paul was in­trigued by the marketplace, theAgora, also crowded with stat­ues of Gods and goddesses. Inthis public square people boughtgroceries and talked about poli­tics, philosophy and religion.Paul listened to them. Someclaimed that pleasure was thesecret of happiness. They calledthemselves Epicureans. Otherstaught that happiness layin living according to naturalneeds and desires. They wereStoics.

Paul was so upset by whathe heard that he decided topreach in Athens while he waitedfor Silas and Timothy to comefrom Beroea. The sight of idolseverywhere disturbed him terri­bly. So he went to the syna­gogues to talk with the devoutJews of Athens. Like him theybelieved in only one God.

Paul told the Jews about Jesus,then went to the Agora to de­bate with the ordinary citizensand philosophers.

The Stoics and Epicureansargued politely with Paul. Theyfound him hard to understand.because he did not refer tothinkers they knew and he spokewith a strange accent.

They heard Paul speak of"Jesus" and "resurrection," andthought he was speaking of twonew gods.

"You are talking about sub­jects we are not familiar with.We would like to know betterwhat you are talking about,"they said to Paul.

Paul was eager to tell themabout the one true God and aboutJesus. So he went with thephilosophers up the hill to theAreopagus.

A large crowd gathered. TheAthenians loved new ideas. Theywere eager to hear more aboutPaul's strange teaching.

How can we move beyondminimal aid? As the world getssmaller, what awareness and ac­tion are needed in regard to allwho share its life?

Here are five suggestions forindividuals, families and par­ishes:

1. Look at your own worldcarefully.

Start with your food anddrink. Who raises it? For whatreturn on their labor? The TVadvertisement about coffeE~ pick­er Juan Valdez does not Sl!em tomatch reality.

Yet the lives of people in Bra­zil, Somalia and Bangladl!sh doconnect with our own. O:ttholiceconomist Barbara Ward has sev­eral books that vividly (:onveyhow Topeka relates to Timbuktuand Fall River to Fiji. LOI:al ac­tion groups and churches oftenhave similar materials.

2. Change small horizons toglobal ones.

What do your children learnin school and religious educationabout other cultures? Is a globalconsciousness nurtured? Miss­ion and overseas relief programseducate people on the need toact, from a global standpoint, inlight of gospel values.

3. Join with others.As individuals, we may be

weak but united with others wecan be strong. Bike-a-thol:1s andyouth "fast-ins" are opportuni­ties to join with religious per­sons of other traditions. Ecu­menical groups can launchstrong efforts.

4. Combine worship with prac­tical help. Perhaps your parishcan integrate such programs asRice Bowl into Sunday servicesor increasing the times whencanned goods are broug:ht for­ward at Masses for local foodclosets that feed the hungry.Sponsor occasional "lellrning"coffees after Mass with printedmaterials to take home.

"Well I'm tired of losing. I'vegot nothing to do and all day todo it." As time ticks away withno direction, the person's sanityand sense of self-worth steadilydiminish. Finally, the person pro­claims that it's "no wonder I'mnull and void."

What we do with our time isvery important. How we useour time - and where - isgoverned by our sense of pur­pose. Without purpose we feelrestless and insignificant. We

Many people find they haveto work hard to put purpose in­to their lives. When we openourselves to trying new oppor­tunities, new actions, and meet­ing new people. we discoveror expand our sense of purpose.Life is not meant to be an emptyexperience. But we have to bewilling to work toward specificgoals to create the purpose thatwill fill the emptiness.

More and more persons havebecome aware that mental ill­ness is in no way a disgrace. Butsome other people, sad to say,still retain old and dark atti­tudes.

A few years back a youngwoman who had endured a siegeof mental illness told me howmuch it hurt her to hear herpsyciatrist called a "shrink."Words like that are a put-down,and I've tried to erase all suchwords from my vocabulary.

Some of .your acquaintancesmay use cruel phrases and evenmake jokes. Pity these personsand question whether they arereally your friends. Instead' ofbursting out in anger, you mighttry saying simply and calmly,"That language comes from ig­norance," or "Your remarks areoffensive."

Whatever they say, don't letthem cause you to doubt your­self or your mother in any way.

I have heard many programson alcoholism and drunk driv­ing - but I also hear of thewonderful work of AlcoholicsAnonymous, which is helpingmore and more people to admitthey have a problem and to dosomething about it.

Even though AA disclaims re­ligious labels, it is an' extraor­dinary demonstration of centralconcepts of Christianity and wecan learn much from it.

I have listened to too manyparents struggling with the prob­lem of the drinking son or daugh­ter not to realize that alcohol­ism has a stranglehold on ourpopulation and that it does notrespect age. The statistics areincredible.

Yet there is a lesson to belearned from alcoholism. As wenote the good work of AA welearn that human beings areforever redeemable, that peoplecan never drift beyond God'scare.

I think that escape from alco­holism is one of the most dra­matic examples of the deathand resurrection experience.And this escape occurs daily inthe AA fellowship. Members of­fer living proof that miracles canhappen, thus rekindling hope inmany a soul which had des­paired.

The diocesan plan is intendedto draw from existing personneland program experience and todemonstrate how these can ex­pand and improve.
