Serra Year LOS ANGELES (NC) - Father

Junipero Serra once said there was no reason for his name to be mentioned except for the blunders he committed.

But many events have been proposed for this faH in Californ­ia to commemorate the bicenten­'lennial of the Franciscan friar who came to the state in 1769 and founded nine of its 21 mis­sions.

Father Serra also ~w up laws protecting Indian rights in California 16 years before the Bill of Rights was added to the U.,S. Constitution in 1789.

Observance of the Serra Bi­centennial Year will begin with an. Aug. 28 Mass in Father Ser­

_ra, honor at San Carlos Borro­meo Basilica in Carmel, Ca'1if. 23 bisllops from California and Baja California are expected to attend.

The Carmel Mission's original fountain has been relocated there and will be blessed by Cardinal Timothy Manning of Los Angeles.

In ' the planning are such Serra year events as concerts and art exhibits. Serra symposia have been proposed for San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles and efforts towards is­suance of, a commemorative stamp have been mounted.

Father Serra's cause for can­onization, is being promoted in Rome, where several miraoles 'at­tributed to his intervention are , being investigated.

The vice-postulator for Father , Serra's cause for canonization, Franciscan Father Noel Moholy, will participate in a July 17 pil­grimage to Serra's birthplace, Petra de Mallorca, Spain.

Father Pease A 'concelebrated Mass of the

Resurrection was offered last Friday, at St. Joseph's Church, Fairhaven, for Father Simon Pease, SS.ce, 65,' who died .June 3Q in Abaco,' the Bahamas, where he had been stationed for a year.

He taught in New Hampshire and California prior to being assigned to the J·apanese mis­sions of his community in 1959. Among his posts was that.of a professor of English at the Uni­versity of Yamagata. Before taking UP his assignment in the 'Bahama~, he worked for six months: in 'India with Mother Teresa Qf Calcutta.

Sister Claire The Fall River public Ubrary

was closed until noon last Fri­day to enable staff members to attend the funeral of Sister Claire Jusseaume, S'5J, 65, a :library as­sistant for the past 11 years.

Father Lucien Jusseaume, chaplain at Our Lady's Haven, Fairhaven, was principal concele­brant and homilist for his sis­ter's Mass at Blessed Sacrament Cburch, Fall River. Many other priests of the diocese were also concelebrants.

Sister Claire was a Fall River native, the daughter of Mrs. Clarienee (Gregoire) Jusseaume of Fall River and the late Octive Jusseaume. Entering the Sisters of . St. Joseph at age 15, she served 35 years as a teacher in Swansea, New Bedford and Fall River parochial schools.

Beginning a second career in 1973, she joined the library staff and in 1981 earned a master's degree in library science at the University of Rhode Island. She also held a bachelor's degree from Rivier College, Nashua, NH, and a master's degree, in education from the College of St. Rose, Albany, NY.

As well as her mother and Father Jusseaume, she is sur­vived by another brother, Leo Jusseal,Ulle of Geneva, Switzer­land; two sisters, Mrs. Anita Stebenne of Fall River and Sis­ter Lucie, RJM, of Woonsocket; an dseveral nieces and nephews.

Interment was in Notre Dame Cemetery, Fall River .

Palliums show church unity

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Arch­Ibishop Bernard Law of Boston was one of three Americans among 11 new archbishops who received their palliums, the white wool bands symbolizing the authority they share with the pontiff, from Pope John Paul

, II in a historic ceremony June 29.

The others were Archbishops John O'Connor of New York and Daniel Kucera of Dubuque, Iowa.

Vatican officials said it was the first time :in modem church history a pope has personally conferred ,the palliums. Previous­ly the bands were blessed by the pope and conferred at a later time by a cardinal reprsenting him.

The new archbishops will wear the palliums when they preside at' formal church ceremonies in their ecclesiast-ical provinces.

"The pa11ium doesn't add any­thing to the position of the arch­bishop," Archbishop Law ex­plained, "but- to me what's im­portant is the way it's being con­veyed, the whole complex of symbolism - receiving it from the pope himself, as a vislJble sign of the church's unity."

Everywhere the Spirit "The Spirit of the Lord hath

filled the whole world; bond that holds all things in being, it takes cognizance of every sound we utter." - Wisd. 1:7

themoorin~ Black Catholics in Today's Church.

-Very few members of this diocese realize that there are over a million black Catholics in the United States, com­prising about four percent of the total black populatipn and two· percent of the Catholic population.

Until recent times, little was heard from the black \ community and little attention paid to the role of blacks in

the life. of the church. Fortunately, this is beginning to change. Several blacks have been appOinted to t?e hierarchy in major dioceses and archdioceses. More hIS­torical data concerning the black contribution to the church are being published. .

. In short, growing. awareness of· the U.S. black com­munity has led to increased appreciation -of its Catholic members~ But much remains to be accomplished.. "

The firSt and most serious area of concern must be that of black vocations. In the black community the role of the preacher is essential. Jesse Jackson, for instance, is building on a tradition' integral to the black American experience. Many feel that because of the deep, 'even subconscious, emotional ties of many black Christians with the person of the preacher, the subliminal impact of uniting his role with that of the concept of presiding is incalculable.

During. the 19th century, to the discredit of American Catholicism, blacks were not generally welcome in diocesan or regional seminaries. Because of the negative attitudes prevalent in all aspects of American lif~ until recent times, and even today far from uncommon, there are currently few black priests.

Fortunately, at least in this area, things have changed. It is now unlikely that any bishop or seminary would fail to welcome black candidates. i

But although. the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus and the National Black Seminarians' Association sponsor support and formation programs for black 'seminarians, their number is still small. Realistically, for the foreseeable future, most clergy and religious serving black Catholics will be white.

Lay ministry programs, however, are expected to en­courage black Catholic lay people to supply the black witness.so essential to the church.

But what has been planted must be nurtured. ,Both locally and nationally, we must significantly increase our support of the black lay witness. Efforts to help middle class white Catholics understand the difficulties of their black sisters and brothers in the U.S. church should assume priority. Eradication of racism should not be considered a mere option. It is an imperative.

Diocesan initiatives on behalf of black Catholics should be established wherever they are needed. Among their goals should be the placement of qualified black Catholic lay people in responsible church positions. Training programs, creative use of the media, and appreciation of black culture are among the avenues that should be explored in the effort to help black Catholics feel comfortable in a church where they are a minority.

It is long past time for their fellow church members to appreciate their history of suffering and their present witness. "

Losing a sense of mystery By Father Kevin J. HarriJigton

One of the greatest challenges facing our church is that of' making our liturgies .a place where people feel a sense of the holy. Our lloss of the sense, of mystery is nothing less than tragic.

Since the Second Vatican Council there has been enonnous emphasis upon the Mass as a celebration; nonetheless, too many Catholics. seem content with a mediocre observance. Many of our liturgies can rightly be criticized as simplistic' and devoid of style. .

In the early church, during the" Roman persecution, liturgies were of 17-minute duration be­.cause of fear of discovery. To­day many Hturgies are equally brief because priests fear par­ishioners might switch to a neighboring parish with a quicker Mass.

Histori:ms will probaJbly label this period of transition as the low point of iiturgy as an ar'ds­tic fonn. But liturgy should en­courage a sensitivity to the sa­cred amidst, the profane. At its best, it is the most appropriate tool with which to elevate the common to the precious.

The decade of the 70s offered the, opportunity to develop crea­

tive liturgies; but what happened was that the "experts" brought their trendy ways to the parishes and few parishioners seemed en­thusiastic.

Of course, no style of worship fits everybody. A homHy using slides of Garfield cartoons may have meaning for the young and guitars may appeal to young families, whereas others might find such innovations intrusions and feel more comfortable with the rosary, silent meditation' and the organ.

The challenge of parochial life is to recognize that while there is no pleasing everybody, there is much room for diversity and a great need for creativity.

Searching' is always painful. The church is still trying to find the right blend between old and new. For instance, while I find' delightful the televised Christ­mas midnight Mass from St. ;Peter's in Rome, I would not ex­pect grade-school children to find it altogether appealing.

But adults have a greater at­tention span than most Hturgists seem willing to give them credit for. The majority will not be bored by a 45-minute Mass, nor do they look upon it. as enter­tainment. One does not go to Mass for amusement, fun or excitement; one does go for in­

spiration and refreshment. True, we encounter shadowy

corners and anxious moments as i.e search in the realm of the spirit. Our liturgies have yet to achieve the sense of hannony and balance essential fCfr good fonn. If they are to be truly up­lifting, they must become more sensitive to that which.is gra­cious and dignified.

It may sound corny, hut good manners and, good morals are partners. A sloppy liturgy reflects carelessness with ,the means of bringing the sacred out of the ordinary.

Unfortunately, during the' tran­sition period of the past decade, there was too much careless ex­

,perimentation. We have all made our share of mistakes and we can only make matters worse if we fail to take the time to learn from them.

Perhaps the greatest damage has been done by those with a false idea of simplicity. If cele­brants do not approach the litur­gy as a celebration of sacred mysteries but solely as a secular meal, great damage will continue . to be done.

Too many people seem to feel that in lack of style there is salvation, that the vulgar life is holy. The true lack is of that which is ironically the most· uncommon, common sense!

Family Night A weekly at-home program for families (,

sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Family Ministry

OPENING PRAYER Dearest Lord, this summertime

beckons our family to grow in so many unknown ways. Lord, be our guide this summer. Help us to be helpful and joyful, wit­nessing your love first to one another in our family, then to others. Jesus, be with us in a special way this Family Night. Amen.

LESSON Use one of the following formats Young Family

Materials: one large piece of cardboard, old magazines, scis­sors, glue and crayons. Together make a mural entitled "Summer­time is" covering the cardboard with some appealing summer­time scenes or activities. After the mural is filled write in the center in crayon "Summertime Is." Each person shares his thoughts on what this summer can mean to him.

It's lls·er The first time one of my

teenagers said, "You should really get a computer, Mom," I got so nervous I changed the subject and my typewriter ribbon. I am one of those the computer folk refer to as a tech­nophobiac - an adult with an extraordinary fear of technology.

When, a few years ago, I fi­nally broke down and got a mi­crowave oven I wanted to buy a model with a dial and three speeds - low, high and thaw. Instead, I took my sons along and ended up with one whose face resembles the cockpit of a plane. While I've reached the point that I couldn't live without it and it does everything but windows, I still punch low, high and thaw. The little meat probe has never been out of its plastic packaging.

But in January I reluctantly began my journey into the com­puter world. Faced with a Sep­tember deadline on a new book and knowing that a writer's pro­ductivity increases by 50 per cent with a word processor (a word ·that means writing by com­puter), I began to ·learn every­thing I could on computers. With my husband, I read, shop­ped, talked to friends who had word processors and, most of all, listened - really listened to my teenagers - who are today's experts in this field.

I was incredibly ignorant and, suspecti~g there might be others out ther~ like me, perhaps I can offer a little information on a middle-age housewife ·level to help all~ate some fears.

The first barrier is terminol-

Middle Years Family Materials: paper, pencils. Have.

each member write 'two para­graphs: the first, what he Hkes best about summer and the sec­ond, what he likes least about summer. Share them all together. Then together' make a list of five ideas for making this sum­mer a delight for everyone.

Adult Family Materials: pencils, paper. To­

gether make a weekly chart with jobs listed for different family members. Plan to rotate them weekly for the summer. Then each person can make a list of four inexpensive things he'd like to do this summer with the fam­ily. Write them on small pieces of paper and then place them .in a bowl for the family to draw

•·r•••__· -r. .7' __·r-r friendly

ogy. There's an intimidating language tossed around by com­puter people that includes words like logging, files, software, hardware, DOS, dual disks and terminals. Don't let it scare you. There are harder words in rec­ipes.

I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't even know the dif­ference between a computer and a program. I thought I would simply sit down at a computer and type faster than on my trusty Adler.

For other domestic technopho­biaes, I will try to put it in terms we can understand - the sewing machine. The computer itself is the sewing machine. It doesn't do anything without fab­ric, which is the program. Just as we use a variety of fabrics and patterns, there are programs for writing, accounting and play­ing games. These programs are called software while the sewing machine scissors and iron would be considered our hardware.

Now comes the beautif'ul part. Imagine making a stitching error and realizing tllis, punching a button on your sewing machine . that would remove it and re­stitch correctly. Or of logging in (punching numbers) ·the sizes of your family and having .the machine automatically sew a perfect fitting garment. Now you get the idea of the time-saving nature of a computer.

Finally, the finished garment needs a body to wear it. So does a computer need a printer to get the words off the screen and on­to paper. A printer is simply an electronic typewriter that plugs into the computer. When you're done with your brilliant words on the screen (monitor) you simply press a button and the printer starts typing while you smell the flowers.

Not so confusing, right? To women who can run a sewing machine, remove a sock from a vacuum' cleaner or program a washer, it's a piece of cake. And if you have any questions, just ask your kids. They love being the experts to nervous parents.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., July 13, 1984

How maU)T

- ?tlme,s. Q. About the time the

:new Code of Canon Law was formulated, I heard a priest announce that one is now permitted to receive Holy Communion any number of times in one day if be attends a Mass and remains for the entire Mass.

I never again heard anyone make the same statement, nor have I seen it in print. What is the present ruling? (Iowa)

A. During the past 15 years or so, the church has indicated a number of circumstances when people might receive the Eucha­rist more than once a day. Most­ly they involved special events, such as marriages, funerals, First 'Communions and so on.

The new Code of Canon Law, in effect since fall 1983, simply says that anyone who has re­ceived the Eucharist may receive it again on the same day only during a eucharistic celebration. (Canon 917)

The church has two concerns here. First, receiving the Holy Eucharist should be part of our participation in every Mass. Communion is not an incidental, optional element of the eucha­ristic sacrifice. It is the fulfill­ment and completion of that ac­tion in which we, united with Christ, offer his eternal sacri­fice to the Father, and in which he gives 'Us that -same sacrificed body and blood as our food and drink.

On the other hand, the church knows from experience that spir­itual things easily, for some peo­ple, deteriorate into superstition.

I once knew a woman who .boasted she attended 13 Masses every Sunday morning.

The same thing can happen with Communion. "If one is good, six must be better."

Thus the church wants us to receive the Eucharist often, but always ·remembering that ·the Mass places the Eucharist in its true perspective, as the sacrifice and sacrament by which our Lord unites us with himself in his death and resurrection, and in which he pledges our share with him in eternal glory'.

Q. I have been hesitatingly thinking of petitioning for an annulment. My first marriage was 17 horrendous years of physical and mental abuse for myself and DI¥ children.

While I was separated and be­fore the divorce I met the man I am now married to. We shared an apartment for about a year before the final decree, IIIOt be­cause it was the fashion or be­cause we wanted a trial Dli8Jl'o

riage but because of what we thought was financial necessity, for simple survival.

Would this fad of our living together hinder my obtaining an annulment?

I am looking forward to your

answer as this question is an added burden to my already guilt-ridden conscience. We are prayerfully nooking forward to the tIme when we can have our marriage blessed and receive the sacraments once again. (Massa­chusetts)

A. The fact that you lived to­gether or that you married your present husband out of the church, does not affect the pos­sibility of an annulment.

An annulment decree is based on an investigation of the status of a marriage from the begin­ning, to discover whether an im­pediment existed which made a true marriage impossible for those two people.

Please talk to a priest and see what might be done. I too hope you will be able to return to the sacraments as quickly as pos­sible.

Q. Are the banns of marriage announced at all anymore? My niece is to be married soon. The priest said they were not neces­sary. She is marrying III maD! who is not CathoUic and I remember hearing that this could make a difference. (Ohio)

A. The banns of marriage are announcements of a forthcoming marriage so that anyone aware of impediments to that marriage will make that fact known.

Publication of the banns was required under the former Can­on Law of tlhe church for mar­riages involving two Catholics. Partially because of other inves­tigations that normally took place before a mixed marriage, they were not announced if one of the spouses was of another religion, which may be your re­collection.

Banns have been considered less important for a number of-. years, perhaps because our pop­ulation is much more mobile than formerny; people who knew the bride and· groom are likely to be quite spread out. Also, the testimonies of family and friendS required before marriage are more extensive ·than in the past.

The present law of the church (since November 1983) does not require Ibanns, b':lt provides that

.bishops' conferences of different nations may include them among appropriate inquiries which are to precede marriage (Canon Law No. 1067). Our American bishops do not prescribe them at this time.

Altar girls," ritual dance

under stud.y NEW YORK {NC) - The Vati­

can is considering seriously the questions of altar girls and litur­gical dance, Archbishop Virgilio Noe, secretary of the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Wor­ship, told New York-area litur­gists with whom he met during a recent U.S. trip.

The ltaUan archbishop, 62, who was master of ceremonies to three popes before taking his present. job, was asked about altar girls. He said that his con­gregation receives letters' every week on the matter and is "very aware" of U.S. concern.

"The Holy See wants to study very carefully the il'ole of women in the worship community," he said, opining that here was no "theological reason" for the pro­hibition against women serving at the altar. He said th'e rule was "a discipline" which is now under study.

He asked the liturgists to "have patience" as the Holy See studies the question of the use of dance in the liturgy. Acceptance of dance would !be "a great change in tradition," he said, pointing out that dance plays a different role in Western cultures than lin others, such as in Africa, and reaction to its use in liturgy would vary.

Eventually, he said, "the de­cision will be taken at the con­sideration of the Holy Father."

Also raised was the matter of advanced taping of televised Masses. "As Uturgists, we have have a problem with priests celebrating .the Mass of Easter Sunday in the middle of Lent," said one sister.

Archbishop Noe said the ques­tion was both theological and Hturgical implications and "I cannot give an answer."

Father Cuthbert Johnson of the divine worship congregation, who was with Archbishop Noe on his U.S. visit, responded to concerns that Mass on 1V is a "technological experience" rather~

than a "human encounter." . .

He noted that spiritual writ­ings of centuries ago can 'still bring spiritual be'nefit, and that a newscast can elicit compassion from a viewer not present at the original event.

Sim'larly, a 1V Mass can evoke appropriate responses from the viewer. "The Spirit blows where he wills," he commented.

the bishops' committees on Mi­gration and Tourism and on canonical affairs.

Judge Ruggero J. AIldisert, chief judge of ·!the 3rd Circuit who .presided at the June 5 event, referred to the special combined session, held to formally permit the bishop to practice in state and federal courts, as a "con­celebrated court session" at­tended by 13 justices.

It was the applicant's national, mora'l and professional stature,

. said Aldisert, that 'prompted such an impressive welcome.

During the ceremony Bishop Bevilacqua was' caBed to the bench three times. Each time he raised his right hand and was administered the oaths.

Saying he was "very much overwhelmed by this august body,'~ Bishop Bevilacqua added, "I did not expect such a recep­tion. I never swore so much in my life." .

Expressing gratitude for the welcome, .the bishop continued, "the words that I want to say

'won't come to my lips. I know that my tnother and father, who couldn't read or write, are look­ing down on me from heaven and are .awed too."

7 Waterfront priest dead at 73

NEW YORK (NC) - Jesuit Father John M. Corridan, 73, whose work with New York City 'longshoremen was the basis for the 1950s movie, "On the Water­front," died July 1 in the Bronx.

Born In Manhattan. Father Corridan entered the Jesuits at 51. Andrews-on-the- Hudson Col­lege and Seminary in Pough­keepsie, N.Y., in 1931 and was ordained in 1944.

He beca,me known as "the waterfront priest" while he was assistant director of the Xavier Labor School, established by the Jesuits to educate and give spirit­ual direction to area laborers, most of whom were dock work­ers.

His ministry inspired the book, "The Waterfront Priest" by Budd Schulberg, who also wrote the screenplay. Actor Karl Malden, whose character, Father Barry, was based on Father Corridan, won an Academy Award for the role.

They were married 15 days before attending the audience.

Franco Prinel, a 30-year-old Australian of Italian descent,

,made plans a year earlier when he 1eft his hometown of Ade­laide, on a peace pilgrimage to Rome. To draw attention to his cause, Princi, an actor, walked from London to Rome dressed as the "Little Tramp" ,character portrayed by Charlie Chaplin during the silent film era.

"I went as Charlie Chaplin to show that even a 'little tramp, even this character without posi­tion or power, can do something. My seeing the pope symbolizes the reality even of little people to help change the world," he said after the pope blessed him and heard about his peace walk.

Princi spoke to the pope for about two minutes and also re­ceived papal blessings for flasks of water and candles he had

, eollected from different cities on his route.

'During the sumer the Wednes­day general audiences are held in the square to accommodate the tens of thousands of summer tourists and pilgrims anxious to see the pope each week. The rest of the year, ,they are held in the papal audience hall, which seats 8,000.

Under a summer sun which often tops 85 degrees, people with sophisticated cameras and sound equipment compete for, choice spots with people holding Instamatics and pocket casette recorders to capture the pope's words and image.

The pope enterS the square in an open-topped jeep in which he stands to wave at the crowd. The jeep travels slowly and· often stops, allowing the pope to chat with people along the aisles. But. it does not always take the same route, making it impossible to choose ,a spot 'ahead of time with any degree of certainty that -it will put one close to the pope.

After the audience talk, the pope descends the small stage set up in front of the square and walks along several rows of seats ~ a section reserved for people with tickets._

People without tickets are seated behind this section. Their opportunity to get close to the pope comes when he enters tl)e square in his jeep.

Only during the summer audi­ences inthe square are people allowed to attend without tickets.

U.S. Catholics wanting tickets ,to a general audience can get them by having their pastor or bishop write to: Bishops' Office for U.S. Visitors to the Vatican, Via DelI 'Umilta 30, 00187 Rome, Italy.

Letters should include the Wednesday date for the tickets and the number needed and should be written about a month in advance to allow the office to make reservations. The ,tickets are free and can be picked up after 2 'p.m. on the Tuesday

'Conv,e'ntio'n nears ByUz' S. ArmstrOng

WASHfNGTON (NC) - Demo­cratic Party members may find

. their July 16-19 convention in San Francisco anything but routine. ,

As pre-convention planning finalized:

- Pro-life Democrats, al· though aware that their chances of getting the party to repudiate legal abortion are slim, put f.inal touches on a Sunday rally to be held near the convention center. They also planned attention-get­ting convention activities, such as having banners and wearing badges on the floor, to' promote ·the pro-life cause.

- A Hispanic, attorney and party official sympathetic to Rev. Jesse Jackson's campaign warn­ed -that the biggest challenge facing the Democrats will be achieving unity during and after ,the convention.

- Two Ca~olic politicians, ,Rep. Geraldine .Ferraro of New 'York and Mayor Henry G. Cis­neros of San Antonio, Texas, are potential v.icepresidential candidates among several con­sidered by Mondale as running mates. ~ Two politically conserva·

tive groups, the Mora'! Majority Foundation and Free -Congress Foundation, held a Fami:Iy Forum III July 12·13 in San Francisco to call attention to their politi­cal agenda. But the Arehdiocese of San 'Francisco's Social Justice Commission expressed mis­givings fearing the forum might -lead to hostility against homo­seX'Uals.

- Feminists led by the Na­tional Organization for Women pressured presidential hopefUl Walter Mondale to pick a female vice presidential candidate, ,threatening a divisive floor fight if he does not.

- Bl~ck activis~s led by Mr. "Jackson, who claims the aHegi­ance of at least 400 of the con­vention's nearly 4,000 delegates, suggested he' might, urge blacks and other minorities to "sit out" the· 1984 election altogether if the convention overlooks their ,concerns, even if boycotting the election contributes to victory for President Reagan. '

With regard to the abortion issue, a platform draft to be voted on by convention dele­gates describes abortion as a "reproductive right" and says the party "supports the 1973 Su­preme Court .decision on abor­tion rights as the Iaw of the -land and opposes any constitu­tionai amendment to restrict or overturn :that decision."

Tony Bonilla, a 'Catholic at­torney and Hispanic from Cor­pus Christi, Texas, who serves on the party, credentials com­mittee, said political issues of particular concern to Hispanics include U.S. policy toward Latin America, immigration, job train­ing and re-training, and other questions, such as worries over nuclear proliferation and "a mili­tary build-up at the sacfifice of

, domestic needs."

.' I GO WITH GOl7. EVERYONE: ELSE CAN TAKE A FLYING LEAP:"

Because "most Hispanics are practicing Catholics, most His­panics are opposed to abortion" as weH, Bonilla said. "But I don't think most Hispanics have made

. th'at a priority political issue simply because they support the

•position of the church" on abor­tion, he said.

He said he would be wary at the convention of possible at­tempts to replace' the party's backing for legal abortion with an anti-81bortion platform plank likely to fail.

The National Conference of Catholic Bishops, -like other out­side groups, planned to send ob­servers to:the convention. "We're particularly concerned about further development of the plat­form," 'said an NCCB govern­ment affairs exPert who asked not to be identified.

The NCCB in June issuect its own 'lengthy platform recom­mendations, including concern over nuclear weapons, abortion, education, immigration and 11m­man rights

Mixed reception for Menotti Mass BALTIMORE ~C) - A new

Mass by composer Gian-earlo Menotti received a mixed recep~ tion at the recent closing of the Baltimore Archdiocese's obser-_ vance of the founding of Mary­land.

Described as a contemporary Gregorian Mass, "Mary's Mass: A Mass for the Contemporary Liturgy," was ­ performed in Baltimore's Basilica of the As­sumption.

The archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Review, said that aUhough applause was "long arid hard" for the premiere perfor­'mance, one musician in the con­gregation caned the Menotti work a "put-on" resembling "something from the 1940s."

Menotti had complained about changes in the Mass, criticizing Carole Sorrell, archdio'cesan music consultant. The composer was quoted as saying Ms. Sor­rell should be "an air stewardess in· Lufthansa rather than a musi­cal director in a church." .

"The Catholic Church must 1earn to treat the arts with more respect and understanding, or it wiN lose' us aU," said Menotti.

. "Fortunately, r wrote this Mass for the glory of God, and I hope

God will receive my modest ef­fort more mercifully than Ms. Sorrell did." added the composer,

, famous for such operas as "Am­ahl and the Night Visitors," "The Medium" and "The Saint of ~leeker Street."

Ms. Sorrell said she was in shock from Menotti's pUblic criticism and said he was SloW in turning over, the music for rehearsal.

"We· were given the score for the Menotti Mass on May 15," she said

Robert Twynham, director of music at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen .in Baltimore, said he di~ not believe Menotti under­~ood "where the church is in music now."

"Though he is a world·class composer, I think he's got some­thing to learn about religious composing. Menotti's approach to religious va!ues is more from the dramatic point of view," said Twynham.

The Mass was commissioned by :the Paul VI Institute for the Arts, -a Washington gallery :which sponsors activities to pro­mote the arts. The commission was funded by the Anthony and Anna Louise Crozza Foundation of Hillcrest Heights, Md.

you this way? I don't know and neither do you. All of us seek approval and affirmation. Why does any human· being put an­other down, and especially why do we put down those wh.om we profess to love? .

Recognize that you can nei­ther explain nor change your mother. It may surprise you to learn that you are not alone.

Rejection by a parent is not that unusual, and there are

• many people in their 30s and 40s stH! trying to win parental approval and love. Unfortunate­ly, they rarely succeed. If par­ents have not shown approval and love by this time, they.are unlikely to do· so in the future.­

Since you can neither explain nor change your mother, your task is to concentrate on your­self. Your first very difficult but realistic step is to. quit expect­ing approval from your mother. At the same iime, recognize that despite your mother's failure to approve, you are an OK person.

Write down everything that is good about yourself. Be hon­est about your good qualities. Keep this personal :list to read over when you feel low. Recog­nize that God has given you inany gifts and thank. him for his blessings.

You might grow through this experience to become a more positive and affirming person yourself. Since you know first­

hand that criticism and. put­downs .are devastating, you might avoid such behavior to­ward others.

Keep the Hnes open with your mother by remembering her birthday, communicating on hoi­

. idays and showing other such conventional attention. You can sincerely wish her well without subjecting yourself to criticism and put~owns.

The behavior I am suggesting demands tremendous growth and maturity on your part. In effect, you must forgive a very deep hurt and accept your mother as she is without allowing her to damage your life and your spirit. Your task is not easy, but as.you strive to deal with this relation­ship you will become the kind of person you want to be, whether your mother recognizes it or not.

es be open as much as possible for prayer or meditation.

While acknowledging the need for security' against vandalism, he said, "I have a dream that 'every church in our archdiocese can be kept 'open at least dur­ing the daylight hours by sched­uling volunteers to be present and at prayer."

In the Fall River diocese, ale most-perpetual adoration has been established at St. Margaret's

.parish, Buzzards Bay, where F.ather James F. Buckley, pastor, says that only a few night hours remain uncovered In the seven­day-a-week undertaking.

There is also almost contin­uous adoration at the Lourdes chapel of Sacred Hearts Church, North Fairhaven.

In a separate, longer letter to priests, deacons, eucharistic ministries and parish liturgy com­mittees, Archbishop Hickey list­ed specific norms to promote eu­charistic devotion.

Among them were: -"Only hosts .made of wheat

and water without additives and unadulterated altar wine are to be used at Mass. As communion under both species has made purchase of wine in gaBon jugs more common, care is needed to assure that the wine has not soured since opening. .

- Containers' for the elements at Mass. are to be of "precious metal or special crystal," since containers of ordinary materials "a'll too quickly become com· mon and are apt to be handled carelessly."

- Genuflection before the Blessed Sacrament "is not a quaint custom we are free to abandon" but a sign of "our complete faith in the presence of Jesus."

- Those distributing the eu· charist to the sick and home­bound should "maintain a spirit of prayer" while carrying it. "Grocery shopping or a meal must never interrupt us when we are privileged to carry the body and blood of Jesus Christ."

- Exceptions to the norms of proper liturgical vestments for Mass may be acceptable in some missionary circumstances or "the extraordinary situation of con· centration camps," but not in the Washington archdiocese.

- "The Lord's house is a house of prayer. ... people should either observe a respectful si· lence or speak ,in a low voice so as not ,to interfere with others at prayer."

Father Raymond Kemp. arch­c'iocesan secretary for parish life and worship, said he did not think the II etters were occasioned by aberrations but reflect deeply felt ,views of the archbishop on the place of the eucharist in Catholic ~ife.

·Father Kemp estimated that about one-fourth of archdiocesan parishes have a regular program of eucharistic adoration. He added that "a number of teen groups have gotten more and more into" starting or partici­pating in eucharistic, prayer vigils.

FATHER ALOYSIUS SCHWARTZ and Nancy Reagan are surrounded by Korean orphans 'at a performance given last November for the First Lady. (NC Photo)

Missioner in I(orea is proposed fo~ Nobel, U~S. awards

WASHINGTON (NCr-Father Aloysius Schwartz, 52, an Amer­ican missionary in South Korea, has been proposed for the Nobel Peace Prize and the U.S. Presi- . dential Medal of Freedom.

The priest's "Life and work are an inspiration to the world and a Hving example of the brotherhood of man," said Rep. Steny Hoyer, D.JMd., in a letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Selec­tion Committee.

Hoyer also asked President Reagan to honor Father Schwartz with the PresidentiaJ Medal of Freedom of his work among South Korea's poor.

A native of Washington, D.C., Father Schwartz began misssion­ary work in South Korea in 1957. He has founded:

-Boystowns in Seoul and Pusan and a girlstown in Pusan, which care for 3,800 orphans, including about 400 who are handicapped.

-Two 120-bed hospitals that provide free medical care to the poor and dying, couples with dispensaries for the poor that treat about 300 outpatients a day.

-A hospice for 1,500 home­·Iess and destitute men.

-A 150-member order of Ko­rean sisters and a 10-member order of Korean brothers, both dedicated to serving the poor.

The boystowns and girlstown, which take in children found in the streets, are 'large complexes of white buildings. They include independent but government­accredited educational facilities from pre-school through a tech­nical junior college.

Father Schwartz has received numerous 'awards for his work, including South Korea's presi­

dential Citizen's Award and the Order of Civil Merit. Last year he received the Magsaysay Award for International Under­standing from the Magsaysay Foundation in the ,Philippines.

Hoyer got the idea of propos­ing Father Schwartz for the Nobel Peace Prize from William WiHoughby, religion writer for

. the Washington Times, who said in a column Jast year that

. he knew of "no one more de­serving than this humble priest" for the Nobel award.

Willoughby called Father Schwartz "Korea's Mother Te­resa" and described his work as

"the biggest individually run hu­man welfare program in the world."

Hoyer, who proposed Father Schwartz's name to the Nobel committee in April, noted that nominations for this year's prize closed in January, but he said he hoped that he wHl be con­sidered for the prize in the future.

In the United States 'Father Schwartz has founded Korean Relief, Inc., a charitabJe agency in Hyattsville, Md., which col­lects donations from across the country to fund his South Ko­rean projects.

PG-13 denounced by U8CC official WASHINGTON (NC) - A

U.S. Catholic Conference official has denounced the new PG-13 movie rating as a "transparent ploy to exploit ,the young for crass commercial purposes."

Richard Hirsch, USCC secre­tary for communication, said that "rather than assisting par­ents in determining what films are suitable, the P<J-I3 will only make a hard job still harder for them."

He said ·PG-I3 would allow films that previously would have been rated R, which re­quires children under 17 to be accompanied by an adult, to be placed in ,the new category,

As a 'result, Hirsh said, par­ents of 13-to-I6-year-olds' "wiU have much greater cause for worry than they had before."

The new rating, which took effect July 1, warns parents that certain movies contain material that may be inappropriate for

to the attendance of children" at such movies.

The Motion 'Picture Association of America announced the change following a wave of protest over violence in 1'ecent movies rated PG - parental guidance sug­gested - such as "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and "Gremlins."

Citing statistics indicating that teen-agers comprise more than 24 percent of the movie-going audience, Hirsch said the change appears to be the result of "in­creasing pressure from film pro­ducers and theater owners to re­duce the number of flims placed in the restricted R classification."

Because PG-13 does not pro­hibit theater owners from ad­mitting children under 13, "in­genious moviemakers will quick­ly find the means of getting graphic sex and violence into the PG-13 and thus avoid the

viewers under age 13 and urges.-- loss in revenue at the box office parents to give "special guidance than an R rating entailed."

Nulie .involvement 'prompts com:panies to sell stock NEW YORK ~NC) - Twenty- ­ which they say contribute to so­

six. Catholic religious orders haveannoun<;ed the sale of their General Electric Co. stock, 49,000 shares, worth an esti­mated $2.4 miUion, to protest the company's continued pro­duction of nuclear warhead components.

Orders represented in Jthe FaU River diocese that took part in the action include the Francis­cans of Holy Name Province, N.Y., and the' Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia.

In addition, the 'Mercy Con­solidated Assets Management Program, representing Sisters of 'Mercy, including rthose of the Province of Providence, reaf­firmed a 1981 pledge not to purchase stock from GE. MCAMP' criteria prohibit pur­chase of stock from GE or other corporations which receive over $200 million in defense con­·tracts in a given fiscal year; or derive five percent or· more of. total sales from weapons pro­duction; or engage in nuclear weaponry. '.

Also refusing to buy stocks or bonds of nuclear-producing companies 'are the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur of Con­necticut. . The communities are members of the ecumenical Interfaith Center on Corporate --.responsi­bility in New York City. Since its founding in 1970, center members ·have used shareholder resolutions, legal actions, public hearings and consumer pres­sures to fight corporate policies

cial injustice. ~. Larry. Uaber, a ·GE press rep­

resentative, said the sa'le won't have a poticeable effect on the company since it has nearly one-half billion shares outstand­ing.

The action against GE, an­nounced earlier this month, fol­lowed six years of dialogue and shareholde'r resolutions in which the orders raised concerns over the company's participation in the nuclear arms race. Accord­ing to the U.S. D'epartment of Defense, GE produces nuclear reactors for submarines and air­craft. carriers and warheads for the Minuteman and MX mis­siles.

"If a company's policy is un­acceptable or if by its action!! it moves us closer to nuclear annihilation," said Dominican Father Charles Dahm~ "and if we have exhausted al1 possibil­ity of changing the company's position through· other actions, it is necessary to totaUy dis­associate one's institution ·from any form of complicity in nu­clear weapons production."

The company ·had refused earlier pleas from the group to cease managing a plant that produces the neutron generator

_for nuclear, weapons. In its proxy statement; GE said it pI-anned to continue participa­tion in the nation's defense ac­tivities.

Elderlv are concern - .;

ST. LOUIS (NC) - More co­ordination of the nation's limited resources is needed to serve the growing elderly population, said speakers at the 69th annual Catholic Health Association meeting in St. Louis earlier this month.

Sister Catherine N. Herron' of the Congregation of the Infant Jesus, urged the church to view its res'ources as gifts of God to be shared with those needing assistance.

"In ministry, we are searching for God where the people are," said Sister Herron, executive director of the Nursing Sisters Home Visiting Service Inc. in Brooklyn, N.Y.

."Younger" elderly can help the infirm elderly who are home­bound and in need of long-term care, said Jesuit Father Andrew J. Christiansen, assistant pro­fessor . of social ethics at the Jesuit School of Theology, Berk­eley, CaHf.

"The free time of retirement can ,be used by many .elderly as a time for prayer and contem­plation," he said, adding that service to others should be part of that time.

Some people view health care

as a commodity rather than a ser· vice, said Dr. Robert E. Fred­ricks, senior vice president for medical affairs at St. John's HospitaI and Health Center, Santa Monica, Calif. He said some health care facilities view patients as numbers rather than individuals.

At the meeting's opening ses-' sion, Jesuit Father Joseph 0'·' Hare, recently named president of Fordham University, spoke on trends in Catholicism and how they will affect the church.

"As the church takes shape in tomorrow's society, the greatest test will always be jus~ like back in its early days - to find con­tinuity wIth the Gospel," said Father O'Hare.

One example of this contin­uity is in the healing ministry, he said. Just as Christ hea'led the body and soul of those who came ,to him, so do those in­volved in Catholic health care ministry, he said.

He also said the church must recognize that technology "is not demonic."

''The challenge of Christianity is to put this technology to good use," he said.

'Reafling Rainbow' aids beginning readers

NEW YORK ~C) - Many parents, educators and ~egislators

have deplored the lack of quality children's programm:ng on com­mericial TV.

Public television, however, of­'fers programs for youngsters of every age. Last summer, for in­stance, PBS presented "Reading Rainbow."

This summer it will be re­broadca~t following a premiere week of new shows beginning Monday, July 16. These half-hour programs air three times each weekday: 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. EDT.

"Reading Rainbow" helps youngsters develop a liking for reading. Each program centers on one storybook, the illustra­tions of which fill the screen while its text is read by a pro­fessional narrator.

Some books are also reviewe4 by "guest critics" - youngsters telling simply but engagingly why thef liked a particular story.

The single most important contribu~ion of the program is that it affords young viewers the opportunity to hear a story read aloud and to listen to the magic of good writing. It is what par­ents used to do for their children before TV became the home's main storyteller.

The measure of success for ,the series came in a survey of child­ren's 'librarians who credited '''Reading Rainbow" for a 55 per­cent increase in the book circu­lation last summer.

Publishers and booksellers al­so reported found enormous in­creases in sales of books used on "Reading Rainbow." Twila Liggett, program creator, is hop­ing for an even greater response to the series' second season. That's important bec~Use it would help her secure funding for a third season.

Ms. Liggett describes the ser­ies as preventive rather than a remedial approach to reading but mourns that "I have dis­covered that it is a lot easier to get funding. to try to remedy a problem after it has occurred than to prevent it in the first place."

Q. Is it right to 11m off with the person -you love even though your parents object to your get­ting married? (Kansas)

A. This high school senior sounds impatient. This may be a good time to recall an old pro­verb: "Marry in haste; repent at leisure." .

The decision to marry should be based on much more than romantic feelings. Such feelings can be so strong that they blind one's mind to other more impor­tant realities.

And all tpe realities of mar­ried life should be taken into account in 'making a lifetime commitment to another person. Disregard of them may be a key reason why so many marriages today end in divorce.

One plus for young people, however, is the h~lp the church gives them in preparing for a successful marriage. Some par-.

ishes require siX months of soul­searching preparation for this important step.

The six-month wait is a far cry from "running off with the person you love." Self-con~rol is a mark of maturity and marriage is for the mature" not for those who give in easily to the im-' pulses of romantic. feelings.

There are other-angles to·con­'sider. A young man and woman ' entering a lifetime commitment need aU the help they can get.

God's help is given to them in a special way when they utter their, solemn vows publicly with­in the context of Mass in the presence of a Christian ~omniun-ity'o '

In this way they celebrate the sacrament ,of matrimony with their loving relatives and friends. They will s~rise in a special way the ~mportance of what they are doing and will reme~ber Jesus'

pres'ence"and help through all the long years ahead.

But if a ~ouple simply runs off together,' they will' npt ex­perience the joy and the warmth of a Christian celebration of their marriage. To some extent, God will be left out.

And what of. this high school senior's parents?

God asks us to honor our par­ents. One w~y is to listen to their advice and objections on this important matter and to try to discuss them calmly, perhaps considering postponement of ' marriage until objections have been resolved, if possible.

Many parents have wisdom based on experience that can be extremely valuable in helping

'the young avoid unhappiness and maybe years of bitterness.

Whatever else you watch on television, be sure to see "Eight Minutes to Midnight: A Portrait of Dr. Helen CalcHcott," airing I~rlday, July 13, 10-11 p.m. EDT on.'PBS.

Dr. Caldicott is an Australian pediatrician who moved to Bos­ton in 1977 to practice at the Harvard Medical School. There she began researching themedi­cal consequences of radiation and making other'doctors aware of the noclear issue.

To help the public understand the genetic dangers that nuclear waste materials pose for future generations, Rr. Caldicott wrote "Nuclear Madness: What You Can Do."

The book was published in 1978, which is where this docu­mentary begins as the doctor

, goes on the talk-show circuit to promote her book.

The film closes as she ad­dresses a group of physicians in 1980 on the increasing sophisti­cation of nuclear weapons which she fears increase the chances ()f an all-out nuclear conflagra­tion.

. That was in 1980. Since then, the nuclear arms a-ace has es­calated, cruise ~ssiles have been plaoed in Europe and arms talks between the superpowers have broken off. .

An .indication of how much the situation has worsened since this documentary was made is .apparent in its title. It refers to the 'doomsday clock used by a group of nuclear physicists to dramatize the closeness of nu­clear holocaust. Last December that clock was advanced to three minutes to midnight.

one of the most spectacular views in the entire area is ilie Red IJm. Located right on :t:h.e water, iliis old inn' is just beauti­ful.

The diner has the choice of smoking or non-smoking areas and ilie table settings are care­fully prepared as is ,ilie lUncheon menu.

Our selection of ilie fish of the day was fortunate. The seafoOd selections were of good quality, fresh and well prepared, al~

iliough, once more, expensive. A:gain, the only fault to be

found' in ,iliis par:tioular dining exp~rience was ilie service. The poor 'waitress seemingly couldn't get her act coordinated and her inexperience made everyone nervous. For instance, she had to go through two bottles of wine before she could extricate a cork in one piece. It makes one wonder why restaurants of Red Inn caliber do not spend more time ,training their help.

.Our . third restaurnnt choice, however, was super. This time we decided on dinner.

The name of Franco's Hide. away would give one second ilioughts about making reserva­tions, but inItial hesitancy gave way to a joyful dining experi­ence.

In a complete art deco setting, the staff was superb.' Helpful and friendly, iliey knew what they were doing and why they were there.

For our main course we all selected various northern ital ­ian dishes. To ilie last mouiliful, they were great. The pasta was fresh, sauces were delicate and vegetable "al dente." The Soave was served wiili due considera­tion. Again, prices were high but expected at iliis time of year. Franco's 'Hideaway was a real find.

These are ,iliree quick reviews. For the future, some columns win discuss several restaurants, others will zero in on just one. We hope to vary our approach so that Gourmet Galley will do more ilian place X number of stars beside an eating place's name.

Please be sure that your com­ments and Jetters will be 'ap­preciated. '

For our first review we selected ' three of the town's best restau­rants. From the outset, however, be aware iliat ilie' minute you cross the Cape Cod Canal prices become ridiculous' and iliat once 'you get to Provincetown, you should add a few more dollars to your expectations.

Since ilie iliree restaurants we chose had many food offerings in common, ,the dift:erences were to be found in the service: Surly Service, Silly Service and Super Service about sums up the styles we encountered.. '

Pepe's has been long one of Provincetown's more famous gourmet restaurants, and rightly so. One can expect a unique and delightful lunch and dinner menu.

At our lunch,ilie food lived up , to expectations and we arrived in plenty of time to enjoy th.e view from the new upper deck overlooking the harbor.
