Pope John Paul II officiaIly open­ed his ministry as pontiff Oct.22 with a plea to Christians; "Donot be afraid . . . Let Christspeak to man . . . He alone haswords of life, yes, of eternallife."

A son of Poland and the firstnon-Italian pop since 1523, Pope

John Paul compared himself toPeter, caIled to Rome in obedi­ence to Christ. During the homi­ly of his inaugural Mass, hepledged to make his pontificateone of service.

"Make me be a servant," heprayed to Christ. "Indeed, theservant of your servants."

The more than three-hour ser-

vice in St. Peter's Square inaug­urating the ministry of CardinalKarol Wojtyla as Pope JohnPaul II, started inside the basili­ca - out of the view of thehundreds of dignitaries and themore than 250,000 other peoplepacked into the square andover-flowing into nearby streets.

At 10 a.m. Rome time (5 a.m.

EDT), the Sistine Choir beganto sing "Veni Creator Spiritus"("Come Holy Spirit," as the newpope, elected six days earlier,prayed at the tomb of Peter be­neath the basilica's Altar of theConfession.

Then 112 cardinals filed outof St. Peter's to the aItar plat­form 50 feet away.

Finally came 'Pope John Paul,'flanked by his two papal mas­ters of ceremonies and CardinalsPericle Felici and Silvio Oddi.The crowd applauded vigorous­'Iy as he walked toward theaItar. More than 300 bishopswere seated on his right andsome 800 dignitaries represent-

ling attractive outings for stu­dents or factory workers onSundays to discourage Mass at­tendance.

In some fields the governmenthas made Sunday a day of work.

Yet still on Sundays thepeople flock to churches or tothe slapdash shelters set up toprotect the altars from the ele­ments.

Still about 85 percent of Po­lish youth attend parish religi­ous education classes.

IBlocked from communicatingwith the faithful by televisionor radio or a widely circulatedCatholic press, the Polish bish­ops make the most of pilgrim­ages, special spiritual exercisesand retreats.

Communications betweenmembers of the closely knit epis­copal conference are also diffi­cult. So the bishops hold five orsix plenary assemblies everyyear - three times the numberheld by most other national con­ferences.

At these meetings they drafta half dozen pastoral letterseach year which are read fromthe pulpit of every church inPoland.

Liturgies are updated, anddignified. The people join in theMass prayers with enthusiasm.

Other Vatican II reforms,however, have been harder toincorporate into Polish life.

Since there are few non-Cath­olic Christians in Poland, ecu­menism is a theoretical issue.

Development of the laity'srole in the, church has been ham­pered somewhat by governmentrestrictions on lay organizations.

The Polish church is still heavi­ly dominated by clerics and stillbears a clerical stamp.

Polish seminaries are full andvocations to orders of womenreligious are still flourishing. Un­like other European churches,the Polish church continues tosend out hundreds of mi:?sion­aries.

The government in some casesturns a blind eye when a bishopexceeds the number of seminar­ians which state officials say hecan have.

Poles have maintained astrong attachment to Our Lady,especially honored as the"Black Madonna" of Czesto­chowa.

Pope John Paul II, in fact, hasa letter "M" for "Maria" on hiscoat-of-arms.

The Polish church is oftencriticized as monolithic. But thenation's bishops say they haveno choice but to form an iron­clad unity against the Commun­ist government.

Despite their being in an IronCurtain country, Poland's hier­archy has developed remarkablecontacts with the church inother lands.

Many American, German,French and African bishops andcardinals have toured Polandwith Cardinal Stefan Wyszyn­ski of Warsaw and the newpope.

The Polish bishops say thatthe publicity giyen these tourshelps the outside world learnthe true situation of the Polishchurch and pressures the gov­ernment to make changes.

By John MuthigVATlCAN CITY (NC)

Pope John Paul II comes from acountry which, desI:ite its offi­cial atheism, is widely regardedas the world's most Catholicnation.

Poland can boast that its Cath­olics are more than nominalChristians. ,Despite hardships in­flicted on professing Catholics atschool and on the job, 80 to 90percent of the population at­tends Sunday Mass.

Parochial schools do not ex­ist. Catholic youth and lay or­ganizations are banned. Thechurch is almost entirely blackedout from the news media and isgiven no access to state-con­trolled radio and television forbroadcasting religious programs.

'Hundreds of thousands of resi­dents in the drab new industrialsuburbs of Poland must attendMass outdoors even throughrainy and cold seasons becausethe government will not permitthe building of a sufficient num­ber of churches.

Catholic newspapers, booksand magazines are strictly lim­ited in what they can print andin the quantity they can publish.

Openly professing Catholicswill never have a chance to ad­vance to important posts in lo­calor national government.

Executive posts in most ma­jor industries and professionalfields are closed to Catholics.

The government, however, hasnever been able to break the firmlinks between the bishops andthe Polish flock.

Be Not Afraid

The historic reality of a new Holy Father has takenon a dimension of urgency in world circles with the electionof the successor of St. Stanislaus, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla,Archbishop of Krakow, to follow in the footsteps of theFisherman Peter. The shock waves from this action by theCollege of Cardinals have not only stunned those whoseexpertise was church-centered but also those sages deemedworthy commentators on the more mundane aspects of lifeon this planet.

The choice of John Paul II has changed the course ofman's journey. And how did the new Pope respond to hiselection? In his inaugural address he told the Catholicworld that it must not be afraid to be Catholic. In a movingand eloquent homily, he reflected the reality of his life. Nolonger was a pope speaking whose experience of life was,limited or whose years of service were confining.

Instead, there sat in the chair of Peter a man who hassuffered persecution, who has daily taken up his cross toprofess his faith and who has been a living symbol to allin the face of those forces which would relegate the Churchto the role of silent partner. In a word, the Church has aleader whose life and words proclaim to all: "Be notafraid!"

This indeed is the fundamental sign of encouragementthe Church needs at this moment in time. To be sure, thenew pope will delight us with his innovations and style.But this is only surface, not substance. In the past, toomany have placed too great an emphasis on the former,to the detriment of the gospel message.

Yes, there are protocols to follow, but they must neverinfringe on the freedom of expression so necessary to makeChrist's message real to the world. It is easy escapism tobecome a comfortable Catholic. But this is a contradictionin terms and all of us will know it as John Paul II directsthe Church in the light of his charism as a suffering servantof the Lord.

Many still ask, why a pope from such an environmentand background. The answer of faith is simple. God haswilled it. The answer of man is not so simple. However,it could be a point of speculation that the theme of thispontificate has already been set in the reality of a livingChurch that is not afraid.

In this country where so many' in the Church are heldby bonds of materialism and are constantly threatened bythe ideology of paganism, a new light has appeared fromthe east and has been set before us as an example of man,father and pope. A priest, bishop and cardinal who hasknown in his daily life the experience of being unable toexercise his Godgiven freedom, Pope John Paul II bringsto Rome the Church renewed in the spirit of Peter and Paul.He gives to us all a new spirit of freedom, a realization thatCatholics should not be afraid.

Serving St. Mary's parishnearly as long as Msgr. Coylewas Msgr. James Dolan, whoafter almost 34 years as pastorretired from active ministry in1969. Now 98, "Father Jim" livesat the Catholic Memorial Homein Fall River.

Following his pastorate,Father James Lyons served St.Mary's from 1969 to 1976. Dur­ing this time he supervised res­toration of the church's organ.The present pastor, Father Con­nolly, is assisted by FatherArthur DeMello. In residence inthe parish are Father ThomasC.

Among its features is a1448-pound bell, christened"Sancta Maria" on July 30,1865 by Bishop Francis McFar­land of Hartford. Completed in1868, no major changes havebeen made in the church ex­terior, although interior reno­vations have been made as nec­essary.

At the moment, for instance,Father Paul G. Connolly, thepresent pastor, is directing a re­storation project which will in­clude repairs to St. Mary's glor­ious stained glass windows, itstower and the building flashing.

The church was dedicated in1872 and was consecrated Oct.1, 1916. On the same date,Father James Coyle, pastor from1896 to 1931, was named a dom­estic prelate and was investedby the late Bishop Daniel Fee­han.

In 1908 St. Mary's opened aparochial school, staffed thenas now by the Sisters of theHoly Union of the SacredHearts, who over the decadeshave earned the affection andtrust of parishioners. In theearly days, notes Sister MaryMargaret Rommal, principal,Holy Union Sisters from France,Belgium and Ireland staffed theschool, in most cases never re­turning to their native countriesfrom their American assign­ments.

In 1911 a high school follow­ed the grammar school, at firstopen to boys and girls and later,with the opening of Msgr. CoyleHigh School for boys, becominga girls' school and eventuallymerging with the present Coyleand Cassidy High School.

An ecumenical observance ofthe occasion came last' monthwhen parishioners joined withmembers of St. Thomas Episco­pal Church, also in Taunton, tomark St. Thomas' 250th anni­versary as well as St. Mary'scentury and a half.

Sunday's program, however,will be a "family affair," witha 4 p.m. liturgy at which BishopDaniel A. Cronin will be princi­pal concelebrant. He will alsobe guest of honor at a banquetand dance to follow at Taunton'sRoseland Ballroom, with a so­cial hour at 6 and the meal tobe served at 7 p.m.

The occasion is one of nostal­gia, as parishioners look back­wards at St. Mary's rich history,which has seen the parish partof the Boston, Providence andnow the Fall River diocese.

Records indicate that the firstMass was probably said inTaunton on Feb. 10, 1828 byFather Robert Woodley, whose"parish" included Rhode Island,a large part of Massachusettsand Hartford, Conn.

Pope PromisesPrudent Action

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Inhis first major address, PopeJohn Paul II, pledged to pro­mote "with action that is bothprudent and stimulating" appli­cation of the norms of VaticanII.

The first non-Italian pope tobe elected in 455 years read anll-page address in Latin afterconcelebrating a Mass the dayafter his election with the 110cardinals who elected him. Thespeech addressed to Catholicsand to "all men of good will,"stressed the importance of con­tinued reflection on councilteachings regarding the natureof the church.

Pope John 'Paul remindedbishops and Catholics in generalof the importance of fidelity tothe church's teaching authority,particularly in the doctrinalfield. He cautioned against goingbeyond liturgical norms or re­fusing to accept changes thathave been approved by churchauthorities.

He said he intended to con­tinue on the road already takentoward Christian unity.

The new pope said he would"take to heart the most graveproblem" of war-torn Lebanon.

For the Mass the cardinals,wearing gold vestments, tookplaces in the Sistine Chapel atthe red-cloth covered tables atwhich they had voted the pre­vious day.

Recalling the death of PopePaul VI and "the prematuredeath of his lovable successorJohn Paul," the new popeasked: "How could we have for­seen that their formidable heri­tage would be passed upon ourshoulders?"

Because recent events caughthim by surprise, the new popesaid he had not been able to"trace a program that would bethe fruit of long reflection andcareful elaboration." But, headded, the initial address givenby Pope John Paul I in thesame chapel a little more thana month ago "still appears valid."

CaIling Vatican II "a mile­stone in the 2,000-year-old his­tory of the church," he notedthat "its applications are notfinished."

Problems of Converting to a Peacetime EconomyBy

JIM

CASTELLI

Within six weeks afterPresident Carter ordered anend "to production of theB-t bomber, more than5,000 persons working on tlieplane for Rockwell Internationalwere out of work, without sig­nificant federal efforts to findthem new jobs.

But Rockwell itself was farbetter off; its contract with thegovernment indemnified it

against any loss if the programwere cut.

Labor, church and peacegroups use this story to 8howthe lack of a comprehensive planto deal with economic disloca­tions caused by defense industrycutbacks.

Many of these people favorsuch cutbacks and hailed Car­ter's B-1 bomber decision; butthey are also concerned withtl:.ose unemployed Rockwellworkers.

The machinists', electricalworkers' and longshoreman'sunion, along with the Coalitionfor a New Foreign and MilitaryPolicy, which includes a numberof church groups, have launchec:

a campaign to provide planningfor "economic conversion" tohandle such cases.

William Winpisinger, presi­dent of the Interna.tional Asso­ciation of Machinists and Aero­space Workers, says "Simplyput, economic conversion meansplanning now to avoid unem­ployment and loss of income andemployee benefits in the futurefor those workers affected whena defense plant or program iscut back or terminated."

The unions and the coalitionlist four aspects of conversionplanning:

-Preparingaltemative useplans for military bases and de­fense plants with warning if a

.facility is to be shut down.-Bringing unions, manage­

ment and community representa­tives together to make thoseplans.

-Redirecting military tech­nology toward civilian purposes.

-Providing government in­come guarantees and retrainingfor workers affected by shut­downs.

Conversion supporters citesuccessful efforts. They say thatin 75 communities which re­ceived federal adjustment aid be­tween 1961 and 1975, 78,000civilian jobs were created to re­place 68,000 military jobs; in theearly 70s, the AVCO plant inCharleston, S.C., found it em-

ployed more workers to maketruck engines than when it madeArmy helicopters.

Senators George McGovern(D-S.D.) and Charles Mathias (R­Md) and 24 congressmen haveintroduced a bill to pay salariesand benefits to displaced work­ers for up to two years; providetraining and retraining for work­ers who need it; require alterna­tive use plans for military facili­·ties and finance conversion plan­ning through an assessment ondefense contracts.

Last March, President Carterissued an executive order re­quiring economic impact analy­sis before bases are closed, achange from past policy.

RODERICK

With one girl in collegeand one on the way nextyear, the clothing budget isnot doing as well as it usedto, therefore, I'm resorting to re-

cycling. If we can recycle cansand furniture, why can't we reocycle clothes?

Yesterday, for instance,came across a long plaid skirt ofMelissa's t!'tat has been wornabout five times in the past threeyears. We decided to shorten ita bit for daytime wear. PlaiC:skirts are in and this one looksgreat with a black or navy bla­zer. Thus, with just a fewswipes of the scissors and anhour with the needle, this skirt

gained a new lease on life.At this moment, with the same

idea in mind, I have a long blackevening gown waiting to be cutto cocktail length. With blackevening shoes and the new pat­terned stockings it too will re­turn to active life.

With the price of clothes astro­nomical, we just have to adoptthe European women's attitudethat I have mentioned so oftenin this column - that clothesare an investment to be treas­W'ed for years. Therefore a

major purchase, such as a coat,will not be made lightly but withmuch care and consideration.While styles change for fadishclothes, the classics remain. Acashmere sweater, properlycared f<;>r, will last for years, a'good grey flannel skirt can haveits hem lengthened or shortenedand a classic polo coat remainsjust that - a classic.

Another way of recyclingclothes is to visit stores thatspecialize in second-time around

clothing in excellent condition.At one such store I picked up alike-new golf sweater for $6 thatretails for at least $30. Thistype of store is the perfect placefor gowns and cocktail dresses abusy woman has worn once ortwice and then tired of.

'Ingenuity is going to be thename of the dressing game fromnow on and if you want to lookwell dressed on a minimumbudget - recycle and rethink.It's a challenge!

ing foreign nations were in theseats to his left.

Among representatives ofother churches was AnglicanArchbishop DonaEd Coggan. TheCanterbury archbishop's appear­ance for a papal installation isthe first since the Reformationand may well be the first ever,since travel was slow and diffi­cult in the pre-Reformation days,when the Canterbury primatewas a Roman Catholic.

National delegations includedPolish President Henryk Jab-

. Ionski and King Juan Carlos andQueen Sofia of Spain. Headingthe U.S. delegation were Speak­er of the House Thomas J. "Tip"O'Neill and his wife and Polish­American Zbigniew Brzezin~ki,

presidential assistant for nation-

al security affairs.Robert Wagner, former New

York City mayor who was justappointed as special presidentialenvoy to the pope, also wasnamed to the delegation. Otherdelegates listed were Sen. Ed'·mund Muskie (D-Maine); LucyJohnson Nugent, daughter of for­mer President Lyndon B. John­son; Father Stanley Milewski ofSS. Cyril and Methodius Semin­ary in Orchard Lake, Mich.; andin Orchard Lake, Mich.; andPeter Sarros, assistant to thepresident's papal envoy.

(Prior to leaving for Rome,Father Milewski said he waschosen for the U.S. delegationbecause he is Chancellor of theOrchard Lake Schools, the onlyeducational complex in the U.S.ministering to the needs of thePolish-speaking. As Cardinal

Karol Wojtyla the new PopeJohn Paul II visited OrchardLake twice.)

Simple CeremonyOnce the pope was seated the

formal but simple inaugurationceremony began. Cardinal Feli­ci, the church's .senior cardinal­deacon, draped a pallium overthe new pope's shoulders. Thepallium, a simple band of whitewool with six black crosses, isworn by the pope in solemn lit­urgical rites as a symbol of hisauthority.

Like his predecessor, JohnPaul I, 'Pope Paul II did not fol­low the centuries-oEd traditionof being crowned with the papaltiara.

Following investiture with thepallium, each cardinal, begin­ning with the dean of the Col-

lege of Cardinals, Cardinal CarloConfalonieri, ascended the stepsto the chair and pledged hisobedience to the new pope.

In a break with normal cere­monial pre~edence, the secondto pledge obedince was CardinalStefan Wyszynski of Warsaw,Primate of Poland. Pope JohnPaul rose as the 77-year-old pre­late approached. And when Car­dinal Wyszynski knelt at hisfeet, the pope knelt also and heldthe cardinal in a strong em­brace.

After the concelebrating car­dinals came two of three otherCardinals who were not concele­brating: 83-year-old CardinalFalolo Marella and CardinalJosip Slipyi, 86-year-old exiledUkrainian-Rite Archbishop ofLvov, Soviet Union.

The third cardinal present butunable to concelebrate or as­cend the steps to pay homagewas U.S. Cardinal John Wright,69, still iIi a wheelchair follow­ing recent leg surgery.

During the cardinal's process­ion, which -lasted 45 minutes asthe new pope spoke personallywith each, the Sistine Choir andthe 250,000 people in the squarealternated in signing a canticleof praise to God with the anti­phon: "You are Peter and uponthis rock I will build mychurch."

The Gospel was read first inLatin and then in Greek as asign of church universality.From St. John, it recalled howJesus told Peter to "feed mysheep."

to the throngs in the square.The pope himself distributedCommunion for nearly 10 min­utes.

After the Mass the new popemoved down the steps towardthe barriers separating him fromthe huge crowds in the square.

He went to his left where adozen handicapped people, in­cluding two children, were seat­ed in wheelchairs during theMass. He gave them a specialblessing.

Someone from a group dressedin Polish costumes sitting justbehind the barriers threw a bou­quet of flowers over the barri­cade. A young boy slippedthrough' the barricade andbrought it to the pope. He tookit and gave the boy a hug anda pat on the head.

"Viva el Papa!" ("Long livethe pope"), chanted the crowdas he trailed the last of thecardinals into 'St. Peter's Basili­ca.

About 20 minutes later he re­appeared at his window over­looking the square and led thoseremaining in reciting the Sun­day Angelus.

And then he urged them to re­turn home, with the down-to­earth comment, "Enough, I mustgo. It is time for lunch!"

The installation Mass was thefirst time. that a Vatican religi­ous ceremony has been trans­mitted live and in full to Poland.Streets were nearly deserted asPoles gathered around televisionsets, and the red-and-white Po­lish flag flew beside the yellow­and- white Vatican flag from thetower of the Cracow cathedral.A thanksgiving Mass was heldin the cathedral and similarMasses were held throughout Po­land to commemorate the in­auguration.

Continued from Page SixSpeaking in a strong, vibrant

voice in his half-hour homily,Pope John Paul stressed Peter'sdeclaration to Jesus: "You arethe Christ, the son of the livingGod."

The pontiff was repeatedly ap­plauded as he told the crowdin his excellent Italian:

"To the See of Peter in Romethere succeeds today a bishopwho is not a Roman, a bishopwho is a son of Poland. But fromthis moment he too becomes aRoman. Yes - a Roman."

He also received long ova­tions when he switched fromItalian to Polish to tell the hun­dreds of Poles in the crowd:

"What shall I say? Everythingthat I could say would fade intoinsignificance compared withwhat my heart feels, and yourhearts feel, at this moment. Solet us leave said words. Letthere remain just great sHence

- - before God, the silence that be--comes prayer."

He then greeted others in thecrowd in French, German, Span­ish, Portuguese, i.ithuanian,Ukrainian, Serbo-Croat and Slo-vak. .

In English he said: "To all ofyou who speak English I offerin the name of Christ a cordialgreeting. I count on the supportof your prayers and your goodwill in carrying out my missionof service to the church andmankind. May Christ give youhis grace and his peace, over­turning the barriers of divisionand making all things one inHim."

As the Offertory prayers be­gan, 300 priests, many of themAmericans, filed up in row afterrow beltind the altar, carryingciboriums filled with hosts tobe consecrated and distributed

Pope Saw ShroudVATICAN CITY (NC) -After

the election of Pope John PaulI, the future Pope John Paul IIvisited the Holy Shroud of Turinand then joined Polish primateCardinal Stefan Wyszynski for agoodwill visit to the church inGermany.

"Personally I have been veryattached to this relic since I wasin the seminary and read a bookin Polish which spoke about it,"he said in Turin.

"Unfortunately in Poland wedo not have the chance to travel.But if we had greater liberty, Ithink that there would be mil­lions of Poles who would cometo see the shroud."

The shroud, which was onpublic display from Aug. 27 toOct. 8, was examined by 44Italian and U.S. experts Oct.8-13.

Many of the scientists paidtheir own expenses and usedtheir own equipment for the ex­periments. Costs were estimatedat over $1.2 million.

During the 120 hours ofshroud study, scientists took30,000 photographs of the linento aid them in further study.

Photographed for the firsttime was the rear side of theshroud which has been coveredwith a cloth lining for centuries.An expert in stitching cut cor­ners of the cloth lining to per­mit scientists to photograph thehidden side with special equip­ment.

It is expected that it will betwo years before results of thestudy will be made public.

Finally, we encourage behavior that is incompatible 'With theum..ani.~u behavior. We valuegood health. Parents and child­ren jog, swim or exercise regu­-larly. We do not demand ath­letic achievement, but we ap­plaud it when it occurs.

On the other hand, we domake rules that we can observeand enforce, rules such as dothe dishes, attend school and behome by 11 o'clock.

Sometimes authoritarianismworks. Parents say, "You willnever (smoke, drink, smoke pot,etc.)" and the child is so awedby the consequences that henever does. Even when thisstrategy works, we reject it. Thechild's compliance is purchasedat the price of his failing tomake his own decisions an,d todiscipline himself. For us, thisis too great a price.

Second, we do not give orders,we cannot enforce. We do nottell our teen-agers that theyare forbidden to smoke cigar­ettes, smoke pot, drink or ,acein cars. We cannot control thisbehavior by autho;:-itarian com­mands when the children are outof our presence. Forbidding themleads to sneaking and denial onthe part of children and suspi­cion on the part of parents. If thebehavior does occur, there is noway it can be discussed.

We do not condone such be­haviors. We control them inways that are more effectivethan giving orders. The first isgood modeling: We don't smokeourselves, we drink in modera­tion and we are cautious in cars...We emphasize that our disap­proval of drunkenness and carracing stems from commonsense and is not merely a par­ental hangup.

Secondly, since these activi­ties are not forbidden, there isno game of sneaking or hiding.When they occur - and attimes they have in our family

After new state legislationmade continued care of adoles­cent girls impractical at GoodShepherd, the order converteda portion of the large mainbuilding into a haven for bat­tered women and their children.

Within 24 hours after itsopening, the shelter had 17 per­sons in residence and soon therewere ...8. "We prefer to keep thetotal at 40," said Sister MaryLourdes, administrator, "butwe find it hard to say no."

Stella, a young mother in hermid-20s, is a typical resident.Her alcoholic husband hastrouble holding a job and wassuspicious of her movements. Hewould threaten or attack herany time she went out alone,even to the laundromat.

Referred to Good Shpherd byan older haven in Pasadena, gen­erally filled to capacity, thepregnant woman arrived withswollen lips and bruised body- and with her children, aged5, 3 and 1.

At the convent, she shares anapartment with another family.Each child and adult has his orher own room, a thrill for manyaccusto.med to sleeping three toa bed. "Rooms" are sma'll, ac­tually curtained-off cubicles, butthey are private.

Each apartment has a fur­nished living room, with tele­vision, and a kitchenette wherethe mothers cook for their fami­lies. Each day the Sisters bringin food, much of it from a Cath­olic Worker hospitality kitchen.Guests who need clothing re-

The candidates of Cursillo #87will begin their climb tonight,October 26th. AlI Cursillistasare asked to remember the menand the team this weekend.

The diocesan leadership of theCursillo movement has presentedits pastoral plan for this area forthe coming year. Among changeswill be a strong effort to increasethe leadership potential of teammembers. In addition to en­couraging . new candidates, astrong thrust will be made inthe direction of alIowing themto relate to the total CursiIloteam from the beginning, thusletting them witness the teamcommunity spirit.

Such suggestions reflect thework being done to update andrevaluate the effectiveness of theCursillo movement in the dio­cese. With greater openness, itis hoped that some misunder­standings that have existed willbe eliminated, thus encouraginggreater effectiveness of themovement.

The diocesan Leaders' Schoolwill shortly begin its four monthprogram. Goals include creationof a broader leadership base forthe movement; study of diocesanneeds and ways to meet them;and development of greater inter­action between members.

Papal SidelightsVA11ICAN CITY (NC) - The

new pope "works like an ox,sleeps very little and is veryopen, especialIy to youth,". saidPolish Bishop 'Boleslaw Dabrow­ski in a radio interview afterPope John Paul II's election.

Bishop Dabrowski said thatPope John Paul II is "very de­voted to the Blessed Mother andprays the Way of the Crossevery day."

Despite the fact that he livedin the large archepiscopal pal­ace in Cracow, the cardinal usedto sleep in a smalI simple bed­room, said the bishop, who issecretary general of the PolishBishops' Conference.

Bishop Dabrowski said thatthe new pope's family was takento prison camps by the Nazis,but that Karol Wojtyla managedto escape them by joining atheatrical group.

Msgr. Bogomil Lewandowskiof the Vatican Congregation forthe Clergy said that the newpope is an athlete and energeticoutdoorsman.

"Once I remember encounter­ing him at a mountain refuge ashe led a youth group on a hike,"said the Polish monsignor. "Theycame in a downpour, and assoon as he changed' clothes heasked me to play a round ofping-pong with him to warm upa bit."

Others who know the popesay that he likes to ski and is acanoeist. He has also writtenpoetry under a pseudonym.

By no means, however, is aMass automaticalIy possible atevery interfaith mariage. Twomajor conditions are required.First the non-Catholic should bea baptized Christian. NormalIy,only a Christian would under­stand and believe in the religioussignificance of the Lord's Supper,and therefore appreciate insome proper way its reenact­ment in our eucharistic celebra­tion.

Second, both partners mustdesire and freely request thattheir marriage be celebratedwithin the Mass. The intent here,of course, is to be sure that thesensibilities of the non-Catholicand his family are honored, andthat both partners see the cere­mony as a commitment to Godand each other in the sacramentof marriage.

Both requirements also. aimat eliminating any use of theMass as simply a social adorn­ment making the marriage cere­mony more ostentatious.

Decisions .on this matter'should be reached in consulta­tion with the priest performingthe wedding, who ultimately isresponsible for assuring that alIrequirements are fulfilled.

Questions for this columnshould be sent to Father Diet­zen, c/o The Anchor, P.O. Box 7,FalI River, Mass. 02722.

By Father John DietzenQ. Is it true that the bishop of

Rome, the pope, has forbiddenreception of Holy Communionin the hand in his diocese? If so,why? How can our diocese al­low it when Rome frowns on it?(Fla.)

A. I'm receiving this questionregularly again since Pope JohnPaul's funeral, and will proba­bly be avalanched once moreafter millions watch the newpope instalIed on television.

The answer is simple. Thepope as bishop of Rome doesnot alIow Communion in thehand in his diocese becausechurch regulations forbid it inItaly.

Bishops in the United States(and 60 or 70 other countries)asked for and received permis­sion from the pope for the optionof receiving the Eucharist in thehand. Italian bishops have notasked this permission. The popeis, therefore, only folIowingwhat is presently official churchpolicy in Italy. Official churchpolicy in the United States isdifferent.

Q. SO now we're not sure ifthere may not have been morethan one Adam and' Eve (Ques­tion Comer, Sept. 28). It's timeyou nutty neophytes were putin a cage. How stupid can youget?

Christ said they were two inone flesh. It is time you stupidegotists realize that God's wordis (a) external; (b) immutable;and (c) not to be paraphrased,edited or rewritten by a bunchof ant-heads who know less thanthe apes who the creator is, andthe source of their origin.

I have found the Douay versionof the Bible to be 100 percentaccurate to the finest detail. Youidiots use your incomplete new­found knowledge to attack theauthenticity of God's word. Eventhe solar holes have been heresince the beginning.

Don't question God. Go backand study some more. (La.)

A. I didn't catch your ques­tion, but it's always nice to hearfr0!!1 a fan.

Q. My fiance and I will bemarried in November. I am Cath­olic, and he has no denomina­tion, but he attends Mass with!I1e regularly and loves the Cath­olic Church. We have begun ourpre-nuptial instructions. Thepriest told us that since my fi­ance is not Catholic, we couldnot have a Mass.

We are both disappointedabout this, but will accept it.However, several people, includ­ing a nun, told me that it sim­ply isn't that way any more,that it changed with Vatican II.What is the rule now? (III.)

A. Some things obviouslyhave changed since Vatican I,and nuptial Masses are nowsometimes alIowed at tqe wed­ding of a Catholic and non­Catholic.

KNOW YOUR FAITHNC NEWS

Where is God, oh, where is God?

John the Apostle

Searching

By Father John J. Castelot

The earliest proclamation ofthe good news began with theministry of John the Baptist. Itwas to him that the first record­ed words of Jesus in his ownpublic ministry were addressed.From this moment on, until Johnwas executed, there was astrange, rather distant relation­ship between the two.

It is difficult to disengage aclear image of John from theGospel portrayal of his person­ality, expectations, mission.Quite expectedly, the earlychurch and the Evangelists in­terpreted his role and words ina Christian sense, a sense hehimself would not have under­stood.

The picture is further compli­cated by another important fac­tor: an apparent tension betweenloyal followers of John (see Acts19, 1-7) and the first Christians.One detects an effort on the partor the Evangelists to keep Johnin a subordinate role withoutminimizing his importance in thehistory of salvation.

However, from a careful read­ing of all the pertinent textsthere emerges the image of asombre figure from the long lineof stern prophets. John appearssuddenly from the desert with amessage of impending judgment,the long-awaited intervention ofGod to punish evildoers andestablish his kingdom for therighteous.

Whom was John expecting tocome as the agent of this judg­ment? It does not seem that hewas expecting the Messiah, spe­cifically. Rather, he seems tohave been following a strongJewish tradition that the prophetElijah would return to usher inthe final days.

This may explain why Jesuspuzzled him and why, when heheard about the works Christwas performing, he sent a mes­sage by his disciples to ask him,"Are you 'He who is to come'or do we look for another?" (Mt.11, 2-3). "He who is to come"was a standard designation forElijah, and Jesus was not actingin the way Elijah was expectedto act, bringing fiery judgmenton the world. And John's de­scription of the awaited one asranking ahead of him becausehe existed before him would fitElijah perfectly.

The Gospels record only onepersonal meeting between Jesusand John, on the occasion ofJesus' coming in all the humilityof his humanity to accept John'sbaptism, an event treated dif­ferently, and a bit gingerly, bythe different Evangelists.

John is simply presented inthe Gospels as the humble her­ald of the Messiah. Like so many

knowledge of God and his exist­ence comes mainly through love.Yes, we are to use our minds tofind God. But we will be farmore successful by using ourhearts.

Each time we perform an actof love, we unlock one moredoor that hides· the mystery andwonder of God in our lives. Alltoo often we say that hate is the·opposite of love. Yet contem­porary psychology confirmsJohn's teaching that fear is thereal enemy of love.

People fear love because it re­quires them to be open and vul­nerable to the beloved. .It de­mands a passion, a fire and acommitment. John knew thiswhen he wrote about the foolish­ness of being too careful in ourunion_ with God. Joyful abandonis to be preferred to the cautious,timid commitment of ourselvesto God and others.

John's spirituality is a perfectcombination of other worldlyvision and down-to-earth con­cern. He does not divide love ofGod from love of persons. "Ifanyone says,'I love God,' andhates his neighbor, he is a liar."Thus John avoids the pitfalls ofmere humanism that calls forhuman love without God and afalse spirituality overcomes thatdivision.

"I keep searching for real hap­piness. But when I find it, itlasts for such a little while. Ithought resuming my careerwould give me the satisfacticnI lacked. Buying something newused to give me a lift. I've gota busy social life. I'm married toa man I'm in love with and "ehave beautiful children. I'm be­ginning to be afraid that I'mneurotic."

This was a distraught youngwoman, indeed, who sat talkingwith me across the kitchen table.I had always thought Jenny w£.scompletely happy.

Feeling more than a little help­less, I put the coffee on and en­couraged her to talk. I askedher how she defined happines3.She thought for a moment andreplied, "Happiness is havingyour life well ordered and beingwith the people you really caleabout. And happiness is succe!swith your work. I have all that,but I keep looking for somethingelse - something I can't define."Then an expression akin to feuand incredulousness crossed herface, and she said softly, "Un­less what I'm looking for .sGod."

I knew instantly that she hadanswered her own question. Atthe same time, it was evidentthat she was afraid of her an­swer.

Nevertheless, she continued toexpress her thoughts out loud."If God is the Christ I haveheard about all my life, howcould he accept me? I don't al­ways live by his rules. I'm notsure I even want to."

",From what I know of you,Jenny, I don't see that you're sofar away from living a Christianlife," I answered.

For ChildrenBy Janaan Manternach

(With this issue of The An­chor, the Know Your Faith pagewill begin including a children'scolumn for pre-teens to read orhave read to them.)

Our first story is about an un­usual man named John. He lived20 centuries ago in Israel. Hisclothes were rough camel hairand he ate only honey and locustseed. He wandered through thedesert telling people, "The Lordis coming. You must changeyour lives."

Crowds came out to hear himand asked, "What should wedo?" He told them, "The manwho has two coats should giveone to him who has none. Theman who has food should shareit with those in need."

Tax collectors, who collectedmoney from the people for thegovernment, also asked Johnwhat to do. "Don't cheat any­one," he told them. And soldiersasked him, "What about us?"John told them, "Don't bullyanyone. Don't lie about others."

If people were willing tochange their lives, John baptizedthem in the Jordan River. Hesubmerged them and raisedthem from the water as a signthat they were starting a newlife.

John's followers knew he wasa good man; They felt he was aprophet, one God sends to speakin his name. They began won­dering if he might be the Mes­siah, the one God would send tofree them.

John knew this and he said,"I am not the Messiah," Johnknew that he was to prepare theway for someone greater thanhimself, but he did not knowwho it would be. He neverguessed that it was his cousin,Jesus.

Then one day Jesus came toJohn to be baptized. As Johnbaptized Jesus, he heard God'svoice saying, "This is my be­loved Son. My favor rests onhim."

John told his friends thatJesus was the one they werewaiting for. Many became Jesus'followers.

As Jesus began to preach anddraw people to himself, Johnstepped back. He told his friendsthat Jesus "must increase and Imust decrease." By that, Johnmeant that Jesus was the im­portant one whom they shouldfollow.

But Jesus did not act as Johnhad thought the Messiah would.Jesus ate and drank with peopleJohn could only see as sinners.So John wondered more andmore about him.

Finally he sent his friends toask Jesus point-blank if he werethe one all Israel had been wait­ing for. Jesus answered by quot­ing a text from the Hebrew

SeminarianContinued from Page ThreeThe Pope thanked all for shar­

"

After the Mass, he greetedthe crowd, waving, smiling,shaking hands and even re­ceiving a bouquet of roses froma young boy. Then it was over.The processian wound into theBasilica, the bells of St. Peter'stolled in joy, the people beganto make their way out of thejammed piazza.

The crowd was still buzzingwith excitement when suddenlya chant of "Viva il Papa" brokeout. To our amazement the popemade his customary noon Ang­elus appearance on his study bal­cony. He addressed the crowd,in particular the youth, as "thehope of the world, the hope ofthe Church, my hope."

It was indeed a day of greatjoy and hope for the Church.The memories of this day aremany, the happiness of witness­ing this great moment' in thehistory of the Church is over­whelming.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (NC)Loyalty to the pope and sharingwith the poor emerged as ma­jor concerns of the fifth annualEastern General Conference ofthe Charismatic Renewal, at­tended by 30,000 in AtlanticCity earlier this month.

Theme of the conference was"The Unity Which the SpiritGives." Auxiliary Bishop Ed­ward Hughes of Philadelphiasaid that because of the lack ofChristian unity, the world doesnot know who Jesus is. "We donot come together to deny doc­trine."

A priest, nun and three laypersons from Lord's Food Tablein Juarez, Mexico, highlightedthe idea of sharing with the poor."The Lord is calling us to pluginto his plan, to be brothers andsisters to the poor, to be willingto share everything - our food,our money, our time, ourhomes," said Sister LindaKoontz, a member of the Sistersof the Holy Name of Jesus andMary.

In a closing liturgy, Francis­can Father Richard Rohr of Cin­cinnati said charismatics haveto feel the pain and powerless­ness of the retarded, poor andsenile persons who enter theirlives. "Invite the black persondown the block who does notfeel at home in his neighbor­hood to supper," he said. "We'vegot to try."

Much emotion was shown atthe conference, Ibut participantsalso attended intellectually stim­ulating workshops.

There were special sessionsfor 2,300 youths and there were

. family sessions for 300 coupleswith young children.

A few charismatics visited At­lantic City's casinos, but a con­ference newsletter discouragedgambling.

One talk was to have beendelivered at a beach and board­walk session, but was movedindoors because of rain. Ex­plained conference chairman JoeBreault of Rutherford, N.J.: "We

An honor guard at the Masswas provided by alumnae ofSacred Hearts Academy.

\In his homily, Msgr. Sha'lloosaid that Sister Aloysia's lifewas summed up by the mysteriesof the rosary, with moments ofjoy and sorrow and now the timeof glory.

"She did not take' life tooseriously, only God," he said.

Recalling her longtime devo­tion to the Red Sox, Msgr.Shalloo opined that "Don Zim­mer now has a designated hitterwho can possibly help solve theglorious mysteries of FenwayPark."

Describing Sister Aloysia asa "true Christian, an ideal reli­gious and a perfect friend,"Msgr. Shalloo also paid tributeto her lifelong devotion to theclassics by quoting Cicero: "Thelife of the dead consists in beingpresent in the minds of theliving."

people then and now, he was at­tracted to Jesus but puzzled byhim. And Jesus respected him,treated his insecurity gently.

Unsure though he was, Johncarried out his prophetic missioneven to the point of martyrdom.He was always there in the back­ground, never getting in Jesus'way, never causing conflict.

The fourth Gospel sums upJohn's attitude in this simpleavowal: "He must increase, whileI must decrease" (In. 3, 3).

Scriptures, "The blind see, thelame walk, the deaf hear ... andthe poor have the good newspreached to them. Blessed is theman who does not give up onme." Many, many years before,the prophet, Isaiah, had writtenthose words.

Jesus' words were mysterious.They did not answer John's di­rect question with a simple yesor no. But John understood.Jesus was helping people to befree. Not too long afterwards,John was killed. He died know­ing that he had found and ledothers to Jesus.

That is the story of John theBaptizer, an unusual man, whosewhole life gradually found itscenter in Jesus. Like John, weare to look to Jesus. John's storyfinds its meaning in his relation­ship with Jesus. Our stories willfind their richest meaning in thesame way.

But I hadn't known that she hadreached so far beyond. Whowould ever have dreamed that achild whom everyone thoughtcame with such limited promisewould bring with her such pre­cious gifts?

men she coached in Latin inpreparation for seminary exam­inations was the now CardinalHumberto Medeiros of Boston.

Among mourners at her fu­neral were members of the En­larged General Council of theSisters of the Holy Union of theSacred Hearts, meeting in theUnited States for the first time.They were headed by Sister Ig­natius Loyola Barry of England,superior general of the commu­nity.

Representing Bishop Daniel A.Cronin, in Rome for the installa­tion of Pope John Paul II, wasFather Lucien Jusseaume, Epis­copal Representative for Reli­gious.

Principal concelebrant andhomilist for the funeral Masswas Msgr. Daniel F. Shalloo,pastor of Holy Name Church,Fall River, and a longtime friendof Sister Aloysia.

In the depths of my soul, Iblamed God and felt that he hadfailed me and failed my child.

Our close friends knew therewas a grave problem with thebaby. No one quite knew howto handle it so they 'stayed away.Everyone except Jenny. Jennywas waiting for our arrival. Shehad a meal prepared and a lovelygift for Yvonne. (It wasn't con­venient for her; she had takenthe day off from a busy job.)

During those first difficultweeks, she dropped by in theevenings and stood up under mytears and my moods. I didn't tellher that I thought God had aban­doned my baby and me, but shesensed my feelings.

One day she said, "You know,I'm praying for Yvonne and youtoo." I wanted to thank her.But I could not. My answer wassilence. "I know God exists. Istill haven't found him but Idon't feel as much emptiness asI once felt."

As time passed, and Yvonnegrew, the joy within her reachedout to me. Life began to bebeautiful again.

And one day Jenny said, "Bynow, I suppose you know I'vefinally filled that void in my life.Yvonne came into my life, too.When I knew you needed me,

_I tried to help by being there be­cause you listened to me when 1needed someone.

"I had never given quite thatmuch of myself to anyone before,and as time went on, my dissat­isfaction with myself dwindled.As giving became easier, I beganto know God. And if I had notlearned that, I never would havefound him."

As I sit here thinking aboutthis part of my life and Jenny's,I realize that Yvonne hasbrought a very special kind oflove and happiness into my life.

The Bee Gee's are a leading group. Andy Gibb is the younger_brother of this group's members. He has become a successful re­cording artist on his own.

"An Everlasting Love" represents well his style and abilities.Its message perpetuates the myth of a "star-crossed romance"a concept OK for daydreams, but of little meaning in seeking anauthentic love relationship.

An everlasting love is the outcome of sharing, openness tolove and pain, and the investment of freely given commitment,rather than some romanticized drawing power of the stars.

The message of disco remains on the fantasy level, surfaceand faddish. Perhaps it is this lack of involvement with life'smeaning that makes it so popular in our undeflective society. Discoasks few questions and challenges few potentials. It presents loveas a power for the moment rather than a guiding influence for thefuture.

Our task as Christians is to offer an alternative to such aview of life, to affirm the values of life and love as needing re­flection and personal consideration. Without this the disco worldof movement soon becomes a world of emptiness.

THE ANCHOR-Thurs., Oct. 26, 197814

By Cecilia Belanger

Writer: It is hard to be aCatholic!

Ans: In his book "My FriendGod," Jewish writer David Bergwrites, "In the ghetto I con,·stantly heard the mournful cry,'It's hard to be a Jew.' When:grew up, I found that it's hard.to be anything! Christian, Mo·hammedan, Buddhist, Lily White,Beautifully Black, MantanBrown or Communist Red, thewhole business of living is atraumatic experience."

Writer: I have problems withtemptation.

Ans: I'm sure your pastor ­if you've consulted him - hastold you to pray, to stay awayfrom those places and peoplethat tempt you. I'm not handingout advice without being asked,but would recommend somesolitude. Yes, solitude.

Look to Christ for your ex­ample. It's in those lonely places,away from people, that youcome eyeball to eyeball withwhat temptation is all about.We are born alone, we die alone,and in between we stumblealong in tpe footsteps of otherlonely people. Solitude may bescary, with no place to hide fromone's weaknesses, but this isthe tUne you can pay. a c~l onyour true self. It's up to youwhether you will allow tempta­tion to rule your life. Tempta­tion is not living - overcomingis life!

Writer: My children succumbto peer group pressure.

Ans: I admit this is a power­ful influence in the lives ofyouth. Loneliness and the questfor popularity are often involvedin why youth conform to the

. wrong behavior of others. Someyouth are just pushovers, let'sface it, with no convictions oftheir own.

It's a good :dea for parents togo back a bit and see if theyhave failed in this regard. "Don'tsay this, don't think that, letus do your thinking for you."

Also, there are the shiftingsands of morality. Youth followtheir peers because their eldersaren't worth following. They arenot blind to the relativism theysee in their homes and com­munities. Young people have tobe shown that "selling out" toany kind of pressure, whetherpeer or adult is for the birds.

Writer: If you were to adviseme to read one passage or onepage of something, what wouldit be?

Ans: Lately I've been concen­trating on the 23rd Psalm. Ifind something new to thinkabout whenever I read it.

Anything that begins with,"The lord is my shepherd I shallnot want," has to be a signpostand a hitching post. You can'tmiss. Albert Camus once said:"For rich people the sky is justan extra, a gift of nature. The

Tu·_sday, Oct.. 31, 9 p.m. (CBS)- "Devil Dog: The Hound ofHell" - When their dog is killedin an accident, a family unwit­tingly accepts as a replacementan adorable puppy possessed bysome evil force. The father ofthe family (Richard Crenna) atlength consults a shaman (VictorJory) in order to free himselfand his loved ones from the bale­ful influence of the dog.

Though this is a new made­for-television film and so neitherreviewed nor classified, parentsare advised to think twice aboutletting their children see it be­cause of its possible harmfuleffects both in terms of religionand mental health.

- "Obsession" (1976 - A man(Cliff Robertson) whose wifeand daughter had been killedin a kidnapping 15 years beforemeets a young woman who looksjust like his deceased wife (Gene­vive Bujold). He falls in love atonce, his passion spurred by asense of guilt over what he feelsis his own responsibility in hiswife's death.

The premise is set up wellenough, despite flat dialogue andshallow characterizations, butthe conclusion is ludicrously im­probable. A muted incest theme,which from time to time is coylysuggested, makes the film ques­tionable material for youngerviewers. (PG) A-III

"Summer of My German Sol­dier," airing Monday, Oct. 30, at9-11 p.m. on NBC, is set in asmall Georgia town. The time is1944 and German prisoners ofwar are interned in a nearbycamp.

A teen-age Jewish girl (KristyMcNichol) is impressed by oneof these POWs (Bruce Davison)because he speaks English andtalks to her on an adult level.When he escapes from the camp,she helps him hide.

Even though she feels deeplyabout the Nazi atrocities, she be­lieves she is right to help thisGerman, but when her secret isdiscovered, she is treated as anoutcast by her family and as acriminal by the townspeople. Itis the black housekeeper, heronly friend, who helps herthrough the tragedy.

As a parable on racism, thisfilm convincingly portrays thedestructive nature of prejudice.Acting is first-rate and this issatisfying entertainment thatalso conveys the message ofhuman solidarity.
