Global stage being readiedforpush on debt reliefandAfrica aid

WASHINGTON (CNS) - Getting theworld's wealthy nations to pony up billionsof dollars to cancel debt and to finance re­lief and development, particularly in Af­rica, fs shaping up as a theme for the' glo­bal stage this summer.

And that "stage" is the artistic sort, aswell as the political kind.

In Washington, London and Brussels inearly June, presidents, prime ministers andpop stars outlined their approaches to elimi­nating global poverty.

At the_White Hous~ reGently, BritishPrime Minister Tony BlaIr said he hopedto have an agreement with the United Stateson a plan to eliminate poor countries' debtin time to present it at the July conferenceof the Group of Eight industrialized na­tions. Blair in July will become chairmanof the G-8, made up of the leaders of theUnited States, the United Kingdom, Ger­many, France, Japan, Italy, Canada andRussia,

Blair's Commission for Africa, a panelconvened to determine how to defeat pov­erty in Africa, has recommended thatwealthy nations cancel the debt ofthe poor­est countries in Africa and double eco­nomic aid to the continent.

At the White House, President Georgevy. Bush joined Blair in calling for the in­ternational community to increase emer­gency humanitarian aid for Africa and an­nounced the United States would contrib­ute an additional $674 million.

Blair said the United States and Britainshare "a real and common desire to helpthat troubled continent come out of thepoverty and deprivation that so many mil­lions of its people suffer. In a situationwhere literally thousands of children diefrom preventable diseases every day, it'sour duty to act, and we wilL"

The Catholic Campaign Against GlobalPoverty, a joint project of Catholic ReliefServices and the U.S. Conference ofCatho­lic Bishops, also is encouraging people topush to cancel the debts poor countries oweto the World Bank and other financial in­stitutions, which requires the agreement ofthe Group of Seven, the G-8 countries mi­nus Russia.

would not affect any previously rec­ognized marriage or alter any ex­isting rights. Any marriage licensesissued to same-sex couples beforethe amendment is approved by thevoters in 2008 would continue tobe legal. The amendment would beprospective, not retroactive. .

Npr would the new amendmentprohibit the state from recognizingcivil unions or domestic partner­ships. The complex task of fash­ioning benefits and determiningwhich persons should receive themwould remain with the legislature.

·Some questions for Catholicsmay arise. By not abolishing ex­isting same.-sex marriages or notb~nning same-sex civil unions,does the new amendment fail to gofar enough, making support for thisapproach morally problematic?

The Roman Catholic Bishops ofthe four dioceses in Massachusettsback this new amendment to thestate constitution. Supporters haveto collect at least 66,000 signaturesthis fall to bring it before the statelegislature next year. At least 51 outof the total of200 state legislatorshave to approve it in two differentconstitutional conventions. If thatis accomplished, then the amend­ment goes to the voters in 2008.

The legislature approved theTravaglini amendment once al­ready last year; and is expected totake it up again later this year.Since it was introduced by legisla­tors, and not through an initiativepetition, it would need 101 legis­lators' votes to be placed on the2006 ballot.

The new amendment intro­duced by VoteOnMarriage.orgwould require state officials to is­sue future marriage licenses onlyto couples consisting of one manand one woman.

Benedict noted that a culturebuilt upon "anarchic freedom"with regard to marriage, familyand sexuality is waging waragainst the traditional culture ofthe family, based on freedomdirected toward the true gift ofself in love. It is a clash betweenthose who think freedom isachieved by giving free rein to

the libido and those who--- think that freedom

comes through harness­ing it. It is, in short, abattle between moralanarchy and J'!loral order.We see the culturalexpressions of moralchaos, Benedict said, in"the various modernforms of the dissolution

of marriage, free unions and'trial marriages,' and thepseudo-matrimony ofpersons ofthe same sex."

Catholic families in theCommonwealth are, in manyways, on the front lines of thiscultural combat, especially sinceour Supreme Judicial Courtredefined matrimony to meanwhatever the SJC thinks itmeans at any given moment.How can gOod Catholicsfamilies not only withstand butrespond to the onslaught?

Benedict gives us the answer,just as he gave Christianfamilies in Rome, The first step,is to receive through the Church

the concrete material andsupernatural support in order toconfront the many threatsagainst it.

But the Church and theworld, he added, desperatelyneed truly Christian families.."Christian families are adecisive resource for educationin the faith, for the building up

of the Church as a communion,as a missionary presence in the __most diverse situations of life;and as Christian leaven through­out culture and social struc­tures."

The family, in other words,has an irreplaceable role within

, the Church as a school of faithand communion of love, but italso is the fundamental launch­ing pad for the proclamation ofthe Gospel - as salt, light andyeast - outside the Church.

These truths are as relevantfor the Diocese of Fall River asthey are for the Diocese ofRome, for families here arefacing even greater threats thanthose in the Italian capital.

Pope Benedict has picked upright where his predecessor leftoff.

Pope John Paul II spent most,of his priesthood, and all of hispontificate, trying to strengthenthe Christianfamily. Throughletters and encyclicals; diplo­matic interventions, participa­tion in international confer­ences, the founding ofthe John Paul II Institutefor the Study of Mar­riage and Family, andcountless homilies,speeches and individualmeetings, he laboredindefatigably to defend -the truth and rights ofthe family againstconstant and variousassaults.

For the last two years of hislife, he gave particular attentionto an intensive program tostrengthen family life in theDiocese of Rome. Last week, atthe end of that two-year process,his successor addressed the

'thousands of delegates at theDiocese of Rome's FamilyConvention.

Pope Benedict noted that thefamily is "subjected to manydifficulties and threats andtherefore has a particular needto be evangelized and concretelysupported."

Families need the Church, hesaid, because families need thetruth of the Gospel as well as

the moorins.-,Viewing true needs

Recent newspaper reports indicate that the Pentagon has a realmonetary problem on its hands. ,The center of the difficulty is to befound in the development of new weaponry. Currently the Pentagonhas more than 80 new weapons systems in progress. At this stage,their combined overrun is $300 billion over cost estimates. It is thoughtthat the total bill would be well over $1.5 trillion. The problem is everescalating, ~d there is no real financial accountability in sight. Muchof this is due to the fact that the development of new weaponry isoften cloaked in strict secrecy. Ofcourse, the nation being in a ques­tionable war clouds the problem within the cloak ofnational security.

An example of these exaggerated and somewhat irresponsiblefinancings is to be found in the development of a new Navy de­stroyer. Currently, it is going to cost $20 billioQ for as few as fiveships. The Air Force is planning to acquire 180 new jets at $330million each. In these procurements there also exist some very ques­tionable deals. Recently, the Pentagon inspector general released areport that seven Air Force officials violated acquisition guidelineswhen they approved a $23 billion deal with the Boeing Company. Inall ofthis it should be noted that trillions ofdollars are proposed forweapons expansion while there are very dubious accounting prac­tices to justify such expenses. We have set our hand to the plow ofvast monetary outlays'for military purposes clouded in shady deals.

With this in mind, the recent meeting of British Prime MinisterTony Blair and President George W. Bush, which centered on a majoroutreach to the truly struggling ,people ofAfrica, was an Americanembarrassment. The prime ministe'r is to host the July G8 Summit inScotland. At the same time, Blair will assume the rotating presi­dency of the European Union. At the Summit he wants the leadersof wealthy, nations to increase their aid, care and c9ncern for thedesperate needs of Africa. Sad to say, President Bush simply re­buffed this idea from Blair. This indeed is more than unfortunate.'First and foremost, we have plenty ot' questionable funds to experi­ment in military fantasies. Our fortunes of war are straining theAmerican budget. In such circumstances, the Bush refusal to in­crease aid to the least of the world's families comes at a time whenwe need to boost our national image as a people who really want tohelp those who are in dire need.

Now, some critics will state that the United States already doesmore than its share in alleviating poverty and disease throughout theworld. In face, it has been stated by economists that this countryspends under a quarter of one percent. Those who feel that we arethe great benefactor of the world are relying on a great economicmyth. Could it be suggested that our current fiscal policies seem tobe supporting big defense corporations, with little consideration forhuman beings in extreme need? The Bush response to the Blair pro­posal has a separating effect, widening the gap ofinternational cred­ibility. We need all the friends we can get to help us complete thewar in Iraq. Self-centeredness will not help create a positive Ameri­can outlook among the natioQs ofthe world. The United States can­not lose a friend like Blair, who really went out on a limb when hesupported the so-called Iraqi solution.

In all of this, let us remember that rich nations have a moral re­sponsibility to those who are unable to ensure the means of theirdevelopment by themselves, or have been prevented from doing soby tragic historical events. The efforts ofpoor countries working forgrowth and liberation must be supported, even ifthis means reform­ing international economic and financial institutions. It is an obliga­tion in justice and charity.

THE SERRA CLUB of New Bedford recently held its lastmeeting after 47 years of service to the diocese.

Coleman; and Father Brian Harrington,Serra Club spiritual advisor.

I've been a dad for nearly 26years now, and it just recentlydawned on me that we don'tneed a Father's Day. For mostdads, every day is Father's Day.

By that I DON'T mean thatit's an easy job, and everyminute of it is enjoyableand fun. On the con-trary, the task is oftenpainful, frustrating,worrisome, exasperat­ing, and for many of us,it seems at times togreatly reduce our lifeexpectancy.

But the rewards faroutweigh the conse-quences, and as the littlemonsters grow up (and out), wedads seem to be able to recoup afew of those lost years.

My brood consists of a pair ofsons and a pair of daughters. Myoldest is a 25-year-old (OUCH)son who has spread his wingsand left the nest, or flew thecoop, depending on whoseperspective one believes. Heworks hard and has little, if any,free time, mostly because hedevotes so much time and effortto things he loves; acting anddirecting in theaters across thearea. He's happy despite theoccasional turbulence that comes

While serving as the Krakowarchbishop's secretary, he alsotaught liturgy at the Krakowcatechetical institute and edited thearchdiocesan bulletin.

According to his Vatican biog­raphy, his doctoral dissertation waspublished as a book in Italy in 1984,and he also has written an accountof the 1981 attempt to assassinatePope John Paul. The book, "ITouched This Mystery," has beenpublished only in Polish.

Rice said the United States pro­vides $96·million in foreign aid tohelp countries.combat human traf­ficking. She said this year's reportwill h~lp raise awareness on the"brutal crime ofhuman trafficking"and increase international resolveto end the practice.

Countries cited in the reportcould face a variety of penalties,including the denial ofnonhumanitarian aid. The StateDepartment said a decision on sanc­tions would be made after a periodof helping countries fight traffick-ing. .

John R. Miller, Rice's senior ad­viser on human trafficking, said theproblem exists in every country, in­eluding the United States.

Ordaining him a bishop in 1998,Pope John Paul told him, "From thebeginning of my Petrine ministry,you have been at my side as myfaithful secretary, sharing with medifficulties and joys, hopes andfears."

In addition to serving as thepope's personal secretary, he alsoheld the title of assistant prefect ofthe papal household. At the Vaticanand during papal trips abroad, heusually was the final arbiter ofwhogot personal access to the pope andwho did not. .

The pope named him an arch­bishop in 2003.

Rice said that up to 800,000people are victims of internationaltrafficking every year, with millionsmore trafficked internally.

"Victims of trafficking, most ofthem women and children, areforced, defrauded or coerced into .inhumane conditions. They aremade to toil on farms and in workcamps, in brothels and in sweat­shops. Children are even forced tobecome soldiers," she said.

"The G-8 leaders have it withintheir power to alter history," saidGeldof's statement on thewww.live8live.com Website. "Theywill only have the will ~o do so iftens of thousands of people showthem that enough is enough."

The goals of Live 8 are to havewealthy nations double their aid toAttica, cancel all debts and "delivertrade justice."

Besides asking them to go toEdinburgh, Live 8 organizers wantpeople to send in photos of them­selves for a planned two-mile-longdisplay along the city's PrincesStreet, and to wear white plasticbracelets to indicate support for theproject. The bracelets are availablethrough anti-poverty campaigns be­ing promoted in at least seven na­tions by actors and other popular fig­ures.

The One Campaign asks theUnited States to allocate an addi­tional one percentofthe federal bud­get to support basic human needs inpoorcountries, It is co-sponsored bymore than two dozen charitable or­ganizations including Bread for theWorld, OxfamAmerica, Sojourners,the United Methodist and Episcopalchurches. Those speaking on behalfofthe campaign include actors BradPitt, George Clooney, Jamie Foxxand Penelope Cruz, as wel1 as Chris­tian pop singer Michael W. Smithand the Rev. Pat Robertson.

Oblate Father Andrew Small,monetary policy adviser for theUSCCB, said on the one hand it isadmirable that the star-studded anti­povertyefforts emphasizejusticeanddevelopment, notjust raising money.

However, it should not replacethe sort of "caring for our brothers

. and sisters" that goes on every daythrough the Church, he said.

"It should supplement, not sub­stitute for the type of work beingdone from the parish level on up,"he said.

Geldof's feilow Irishman, U2lead singer Bono, has long workedthe halls of the U.S. Congress andthe national legislatures of Europeand Canada on debt relief and re­lated issues. In an address in Brus­sels, Bono challenged leaders oftheEuropean Union to forget nationalpolitics and take advantage of themomentum building in support ofdebt reliefand development aid.

"People are dying for the moststupid reasons," he said. "These are.avoidable catastrophes."

Geldofsaid one theme ofLive 8will be to encourage people to go toEdinburgh, Scotland, for a massiveral1y July 6 as the G-8 leaders gatherthere July 6-8.

Pope Benedict XVI was invitedto participate in the Live 8gatheringin Edinburgh. However, a June 9statement from the Vatican said thepope's first foreign trip would be inAugust to World Youth Day in Co­logne, Germany.

Twenty years later "it strikes meas being moral1y repulsive and in­tel1ectual1y absurd that people die ofwant in a world of surplus," Geldofsaid at a recent press conference inLondon.

Pope Benedict says traditionalfamily must be defended, helped

CHILDREN FROM St. Edward Parish in Lowell, Ind., prayin front of the Eucharist during a children's holy hour at theirchurch recently. St. Edward started a children's prayer hourto coincide with monthly First Friday Benediction. With anadult leader, children gather around the altar, where they pray,sing and discuss their faith. (CNS photo by Karen Callaway,Northwest Indiana Catholic)

VATICAN CITY (CNS) ­Pope Benedict XVI turned his at­tention to the family in early June,encouraging Church members tohelp couples in crisis and reaffirm­ing Church teaching that marriagebetween a man and a woman is theonly legitimate basis for family life.

Because human beings were cre­ated in the image of God, and be­cause God is love, "the vocation tolove is that which makes the per­son an authentic image ofGod: Onebecomes similar to God to the de­gree that one becomes one wholoves," the pope said.

The pope's speech to the Dio­cese ofRome's annual conventionat the Basilica of St. John Lateranwas the most extensive ofhis threeinterventions on the family in threedays.

Pope Benedict told the diocesanconvention that contrary to whatmany people think today marriageis not a "casual sociological con­struction," but a reflection of thetruth about the human person, themeaning oflife and the relationshipofhuman beings with the God whocreated them out of love and forlove.

A lifelong pledge offidelity be­tween a man and a woman and theopenness to having children also area reflection of the identity of thehuman person as an "indissoluble"unity ofbody and spirit.

"Man is a soul which expressesitself in the body and a body that isgiven life by an immortal spirit," hesaid.

"The body ofman and ofwomanhas, then, a theological characterthat is not simply corporeal, and thatwhich is biological in the humanperson is not simply biological, butis an expression and fulfillment of

our humanity," Pope Benedict said."Human sexuality is not some­

thing that exists alongside our be­ing a person, but belongs to it," hesaid.

When a man and a woman say''yes'' to each other, they are pledg­ing their entire being to one another:body and soul, he said. Saying ''yes''implies using one's freedom tomake a choice and a commitment,he said.

"The greatest expression offree­dom is not the search for pleasurewithout ever making a true decision;rather, it is the ability to make a de­cision about a definitive gift inwhich freedom, freely given, findsits fullest expression," he said.

"The various modem forms ofthe dissolution of marriage - likefree unions, 'trial marriages' and thepseudomarriage between persons ofthe same sex - are expressions ofan anarchic freedom," he said.

What many people today thinkof as freedom is a way of actingbased on the idea that each personshould do whatever he or she wants,whenever he or she wants, payingno attention towhat it means to havebeen created male and female andcalled to love completely and re­sponsibly, the pope said.

Just as understanding the fullmeaning of human sexuality re­quires an acknowledgment of thehuman vocation to love, so the truemeaning of parenthood can begrasped only when seen in the lightof love, Pope Benedict said.

The pope said it is "contrary tohuman love, to the profound voca­tion of man and of woman, to sys­tematically close their union to thegift oflife and, even worse, to sup­press or tamper with the life aboutto be born."

o Pope Benedict said the Church'sobligation to help build strong fami­lies must not stop with defendingmarriage, preparing engagedcouples and helping marriedcouples in crisis.

The fundamental role ofparentsto educate their children in the faith,in morality and in good citizenshipalso is under attack today, he said.

"A particularly insidious ob­stacle to education today," he said,"is the massive presence in our so­ciety and culture ofthat relativism,which recognizes nothing as defini­tive, leaving as the ultimate stan­dard only the individual and his orher desires."

The pope said that without guid­ance a person's individuality anddesires end up "being a prison,"rather than freedom.

Meeting at the Vatican with pil­grims from the Diocese ofVerona,Italy, Pope Benedict said it was rightthat concern for the family was atthe center oftheir diocese's recentlyconcluded synod.

"In your diocese, as is the caseelsewhere, the number ofdivorcesand irregular unions has increased,and this is an urgent call to Chris­tians to proclaim and witness to theGospel oflife and of the family inits entirety," the pope said.

Pope Benedict said that, despitethe problems all couples face andthe "social and cultural condition­ing" that currently seems to encour­age couples to split, "Christianspouses have not stopped being asign of the faithful love ofGod."

Also, Pope Benedict con­firmed the convocation of theFifth World Meeting of Familiesin July 2006 in Valencia, Spain.Pope John Paul II had convokedthe gathering.

Do first the thing you don't want to doBy KASE JOHNSTUN

"Do the thing you don'twant to do first," I have hearda million times.

I tend to agonize oversomething I don't want to dountil I get to the point that Iwon't do it.

It is amazing how manyother little things you candistract yourself with whileavoiding something important.Rearranging my music selec­tion from alphabetical to theorder of the lead singer'sbirthday is not a priority, but ithappens when I don't feel likebeing responsible enough todive head first into householdchores or homework.

Truth is, the agony and the

stress of putting off myresponsibilities really createagony and stress about puttingthings off, and that agony andstress really stress me out, so Icontinue to agonize.

Just starting the thing youdon't want to do - householdchores, exercising, homework,visiting grandma, taking yourlittle sister to the park or evengetting up out of bed to go toschool - will move you alongthe road toward alleviating theagony and stress that procrasti­nation brings.

Trust me: When college rollsaround, procrastination be­comes easier and easier. So nipit in the bud now or you willspend every night between 12and 4 a.m. finishing homework

for your early morning class.I have a friend, Kristen,

who all the way through highschool didn't get started on herhomework until 10 at night.

flge

Ten will become midnight asshe begins her collegiate runnext fall, and I can't wait forthe stories.

"I just can't get rolling until10," she always tells me.

Personally, I know thereare many of you out there

like me who will miss their"window" if they don't getstarted on their responsibili-,ties by six or seven in theevening.

What do I mean by "win-o dow"? The space shuttle

always needs its window toenter the atmosphere. If thepilots miss the window, theyhave to orbit until anotherwindow opens up, and if theytry to enter without thewindow the ship may burn uparound them.

I can never begin work late.Otherwise I will have to orbitagain. My window is in theearly evening. Just like as mynew puppy is learning, if I sit Istay, so I have to jump intowhatever I have put off or it

won't happen until tomorrow,raising my stress and agonylevel higher and higher untilthe next evening when itpeaks.

"Do the thing you don'twant to do first" I have heard amillion times, and I admit, likeyou, I am trying this every day.It's not easy, but I find thatwhen I have tackled thatmiserable chore I no longer amannoyed by my own stress andagony. There is nothing moreto stress and agonize about ­until tomorrow.

And then tomorrow, "Do thething you don't want to dofirst," and you may avoidmissing the window andburning up in the responsibilityatmosphere.

The pope said in his written mes­sage that Mary and Joseph still rep­resent the ideal model for all fami­lies.

"In the house ofNazareth, Jesusreached maturity within a family ...that continues to be a model for allfamilies," he said.

Born into a family that displays"an understanding climate and recip­rocal support," a child develops theability "to undertake without uncer­tainty the way of the good, withoutbecoming disoriented by trends orideologies that alienate the humanperson," the pope said.

Spain's lower house of Parlia­ment approved a gay marriage billApril 21. The bill, which also clearsthe path for gay couples to adoptchildren, was to go to the Senate. Thefirst gay marriages could be held inSpain as early as this July.

In his letter to Spanish bishops,Pope Benedict asked for Mary's in­tercession in protecting human lifefrom conception "to its natural end"and protecting those who are victimsof social injustices. He also askedthat religipus freedom be respected,as well as. "the freedom of con­science ofeveryone."
