this weekend and schools in the Fall River diocese are joining the national observance of the annual event This years theme is Catholic Schools Sharing the Vision - Teaching Values
President Reagan recognized Schools Week in a letter to Msgr John F Meyers president of the
National Catholic Educational Association
By providing a qua1ity secushylar education firmly rooted in education for the spirit Catholic schools represent all that is best about our system wrote the president
He also reaffirmed his adminshyistrations commitment to edushy
cation and his support for polishycies that will uphold the fundashymental right of all parents to edushycate their children in ways that best meet those childrens needs
Because of the great sacrishyfices American Catholics made to sustain the traditions of their faith immigrants the poor and the disenfranchised found in
Catholic schools a source of hope for the future said Reagan
A message from Father ThomasG Gallagher secretary Jor education of the US Cathshyolic Conference noted that celeshybration of Schools Week is a public re1ations event
We tell our story and tell it we shOUld But those who tell
and those who hear must reshymember that the story is not finishE~d The Catholic school community is alive and well Cathdlic schooling is as challenshyging as ever We should tell that story with the idea in mind that Catholic schools are an alterna-

On eve of Latin trip
Synodmiddot announced By NC News Service Pope John Paul II said he is
not stepping back from reforms sparked by the Second Vatican Council in his surprise anshynouncement of an extraordinary world Synod of Bishops this fall to discuss applications of the historic 1962-65 council
And while many church leadshyers were still trying to assess the impact the spedai bishops synod could have on the church Cardinal Joseph L Bernardin of Chicago called it a moment for renewal
Pope John Paul made the unshyexpected announcement Jan 25 at the end of a Mass in Rome concluding the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity It was at the same place exactly 26 years earlier on Jan 25 1959 that Pope John XXIII anshynounced plans for Vatican II
The synod sched~led for Nov 25 to Dec 8 would end 20 years after the Dec 8 1965 close of the council
The pope meeting with jourshynalists the day after his anshynouncement said the two-week synod is an effort to maintain the path of the church as orishyented by Vatican II He added that he expected Christian unity to be a key topic
His comments came on the papal flight opening his II-day visit to South America and the Caribbean The pope also said he doubts that there will be anshyother church council during his pontificate
Much more time has to pass he said
The pope also discussed his frequent trips abmad and a space defense system being studied by the United States which he said could deter sucshycessful arms negotiations and should be studied
Pope John Paul added that his frequent travels were aimed
at fostering church unity and shOWing the churchs universal nature
Latin Trip The pope began his sixth trip
to Latin America by challenging the Venezuelan bishops to find creative ways to meet their countrys social problems while guarding a g a ins t deviations from church teachings
Oil-rich Venezuela has abunshydant wealth but this does not impede it from having ample social stratas immersed in povshyerty and even in extreme povshyerty he said Jan 26 at an eveshyning meeting with Venezuelan bishops
The papal speech established social issues as a theme of the pontiffs current voyage
I know that you are justly worried by this preCarious situashytion of so many Venezuelas a situation which is a denunciashytion of the poor distribution of the resources of society the pope said
After meeting with the bishops the pope crisscrossed Venezuela matching his messages to areas visited In Maracaibo center of the nations oil industry he caBed for development of an evangelmiddot

the living word the moorira-
The Word and Words In this age of dazzling telecommunications It IS easy to
overlook the importance and need of the printed word So often we seek primarily speed and swiftness of communishy
cation We only too readily sacrifice the accuracy and exactshyness of the written word
In fact national studies show that most students are unfamiliar with words and their usage Scholastic Aptitude Tests clearly indicate that such ignorance is a major deficiency in our overall edllcation structure
Our failure to instill knowledge of and respect for language in our schools has produced generations of students who are basically illiterate and unable to transmit communicate or inform with any grace or style In the final analysi~ we seem bent on reducing our ability to communicate with one aqother to the utterance of guttural sounds accompanied by equally murky visual images
Life for many has come to center around television images emitting endless pap that contributes little to intellectual middotdevelopment
Nor do many exampl~s of the printed word hold much promise
Indeed indications are that in our struggle to make all modern knowledge relevant we have lost the ability to comshymunicate it in words To compensate we have iotroduced signs and symbolsthat can be fed into a computer and some educators tell us that the same computer holds answers to all our problems
It is tragic even to think that amachil)e might become a substitute for personal communicatiQn merital images and individual expression
Somehow we have lost sight oft-he exciting truth thatthe word reflects the mind thatwritten iUs a projection of ones person that spoken it is artaudibiemiddotexpressioiio~indlviduClJism
From the earliesttlineman has been ~aughtupin words From the tower of Babel to the Word made flesh the Scripshytures are essentially Gods verbal presence in our midst

neither male nor female For you are all one in Christ Jesus Gal 328 thought But somehow in our expanding worldw~ are losing sight of the power of the word in form and content as well as in mind and in spirit
It would be shameful if our era were to be remembered as tbe one during which man lost his ability to usemiddot words as as means of communicating his inmost thoughts and feelings Good and bad in the media
This panegyric on words is offered on Anchor Sunday to remind us of the p~wer of the word especially of the Word By Father Kevin J Harrington calls sin as a relatively good thing their influence to convey their beliefs himself and to reiterate themiddotneed to communicate Gods word A few years ago a popular dieters The pressures to conform are not In this connection there are signs to all I maxim was You are what you eat limited to children and teenagers of hope in prime time television

5 Successful model Wisconsin Rapids Wise is
a pleasant town of 1700 that draws upon a tri-city populashytion of 40000 It has one Catholic high school Assumption that serves this population It has the normal issues facing all Catholic schools but what makes it special is its Parents Guild
Unlike most parents groups it goes beyond money raising and sports boosting Every year it puts out a good chunk of time and money on a family conference dedicated to helpshying families become better And its success invites imitation
The conference is modeled on the old mission concept - parents (and children if the topic is appropriate) attend three evenings in a row to meet listen to and ask questions of a visiting parent educator on how to -deal with parenting issues morals values and spirituality in todays family
Whats astounding is attendance This past September the conference drew an average of 350 parents shythis from a school which enrolls 400 students I have spoken in areas that size that struggle to get 50 parents out - whoever the speaker or whatshyever the topic
At a time when Catholic school staffs struggle with problems more societal than educational- alcoholshyism pre-marital sex and faith doubts - the need to help parents deal with these effectively is obvious Yet when schools do offer parenting workshops
attendance is usually sparse Many parents resent being expected to attend asserting that they have met their responsibility by enrolling their children in the school
Assumption Highs success illusshytrates what can result when diocesan staffs and school parents work togeshyther Four years ago diocesan (laCrosse) family life director Father Joe Bilgrien suggested that the Guild sponsor a parents conference
As a former teacher of marriage and family at the high school he recognized the need for parents to come together and share problems and solutions with a trained parent educator As a national figure on Catholic family life he was aware of resources available He made the contacts and extended the invitation to the conference speaker
But the success factor lies neither in Father Joe Bilgrien nor the conshyference speakers It stems from parshyent ownership of the event Once he obtains the speaker Father Bilgrien turns the rest over to the Parents Guild and they do a fantastic job
Before I came they arranged a long-distance radio talk show newspaper features and widespread publicity They taped topics of intershyest to parents - strengths and stresses of modern family life the frustration of trying to establish a spiritual clishymate in todays homes and adolesshycent issues
In addition to teaching parents in the evening we - the speakers shytaught seniors in the marriage and
Why be a priest What one single factor was
the greatest influence on your decision to become a priest
I just read through s~veral
thousand replies to that question from seminarians on the level of theology studies They have convinced me that God is very imaginative in the way he attracts men to the priesthood
The question is one of more than 300 being asked in a current study of seminarians The two answers given most often are the influence of priests and an inner calling
Many seminarians point to the good example priests have given them Some say it was a priest befriending them or being open with them that attracted them to that way of life Others were attracted by priests who reflected joy happiness and stability
A few replies pointed to a dissatisshyfaction with a particular priests style of ministry and a desire to right the situation
I believe there are many priests who would say that while their parents and the laity give them considerable strength in their vocation the crucial strength comes from other priests who are models
Most would tell you as the seminshyarians did that it is a blessing to meet a brother priest who reflects joy and a zest for life who is at peace with his work and who seems to be close to God
Whether it is a call to the priestshyhood sisterhood brotherhood marshyriage or whatever nothing is more
being inspired to do something wonshyderful
The seminarians description of their call to the priesthood reflected this stirring of the heart They deshyscribed it in many differenJ ways a desire to be close to God a sense of the right thing a feeling of fulfillment an inner desire they could no longer resist a response to a deeper meaning of life a pull to do Gods will
Many attributed their vocation to prayer
As I contemplated the mention of prayer Imiddotremembered the hours of prayer my fellow seminarians and I went through We were trying to make the right decision arguing with God about the merits of other lifelong commitment and the fear th~t we might make the wrong choice
And yet I am sure that anyone who has prayed over a difficult decision looks back over that period with some fondness Perhaps it is because God gets us where he wants us on our knees uncertain and thus more dependent and closer to him
There were many other fai~ors influencing seminarians Theexample of parents and grandparerits ranked high The desire to help others was cited frequently
As I continue to analyze and reflectmiddot on the responses from the seminshyarians I wondered why a priest nun or brother can attract one person to a consideration of the priesthood but not another
Why do certain families produce vocation to the priesthood when others just as good do not How is

For many years the communion fast for the sick and aged and those who take care of them has been reduced to about 15 minutes
The new canon law of the church in effect since 1983 simply says Thoe who are advanced on age or who suffer from any infirmity as well as those who take care of them can nceive the most Holy Eucharist even if they have taken something ~uring the previous hour
Thus for all practical purposes the communion fast regulations do not apply to you Go to Communion after lunch as often as you can

Years ago the vessels for the Eucharshyist had to be solid and unbreakable Ksnt this true anymore (New Jersey)
A Present instructions concerning materials used at Mass simply say that sacred vessels should be made from solid materials which are considshyered suitable in each region (Ebony or hard wood are given as two examples) Chalices and other vessels which will hold the precious blood should have a non-absorbent cup and a base of any other solid and worthy material
Wl1I-designed pitchers or decanters are thus quite appropriate at masses when Communion will be given under both species to many people (A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about confession is available by sending a stamped selfshyaddressed envelope to Father Dietzen Holy Trinity Parish 704 N Main St Bloomington III 61701

Q What do the letters INRI stand for on the top ofthe crucifix Someshytimes the letters are IHS I have been told that means I have suffered Is this true (Idaho)
The-Gospel ofJohn (19 19) tells us that Pilate placed an inscription on the cross of Jesus which read Jesus of Nazareth the king of the Jews The other Gospels have a similar passage
The letters you indicate are an abbreviation for those words which in Latin would be Jesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum
The symbol IHS is the (irst three letters iota eta and sigma of the name )of Jesus in Greek This symbol was used long before the English hmguage developed so it is not an abbreviation for English words

Tridentine rules removal asked COCHIN India~NC) - Folshy
middotlowers of dissident Archbishop Marce1 Lefebvre have begun Cirshyculating a petition worldwide asking for removal of the disshycriminatory conditions set for celebration of the Tridentine Mass
The letter also asks for restorashytion of the Mass to its pre-Vatishycan II form and reportedly asks the pope to revoke the unjust suspension of Archbishop Lefeshybvre a well-known opponent of Vatican II changes The Frenchshyborn archbishop was suspended from all priestly functions in 1976 by Pope Paul VI after he ordained priests against Vatican orders
Father Patrice Laroche one of Archbishop Lefebvres misshysionaries said the archbishop alshyready has asked Rome that the conditions be dropped
In October the Vatican Conshygregation for Divine Worship issued a qetter to bishops worldshywide approving use of the Trishydentine Mass for groups of Cathshydlics who request it However the letter said the Mass was not for ordinary use in parishes and Bishops should allow its use only by priests and faithful who lccept the liturgical changes in the new Roman missal
At that time Archbishop Augustin Mayer prefect of the Vatica~ congregation said it was by no means a concession to Lefebvre
Father Laroche who visited Cochin to recruit priests for Archbishop Lefebvres seminary in Econe Switzerland said he thought the October indult was a smal1 step toward reconciliashytion betweenthe Vatican and the archbishops Fraternity of St Pius X He said the archbishops followers would not be satisfied with the new Mass until it undershywent strong revision
People who are attached to the Tridentine Mass are attachshyed not because it is beautiful but because the new Mass is leading to Protestantism Father Laroche said
A Vatican source said reinshystatement of Archbishop Lefeshybvre would depend on a reconshyciliation between the pope and the archbishop
Faith important VATICAN CITY NC) - Good
religious education includes modshyern catechetical methods Pope John Paul II said at a regular Wednesday audience Every positive initiative which has been developed should be praised and encouarged the pope said In his talk the pope also noted the faith of the catechist is imshyportant in teaching Christian

Restraining order continued
AlJBANY NY (NC) - A New York judge Jan 25 extended a temporary restraining order obtained by Bishop Howard J Hubbard of Albany to prevent opening abortion faciHties at Planned Parenthood clinics in Alshybany and Hudson NY
State Supreme Court Justice Harold Hughes said that to overshyturn the restraining order would make largely academic the legal dispute between the dioshycese of AiJbany and the state whose health department issued permission for the ahortion censhyters to open
Led by Bishop Hubbard the Albany diocese chalJenged both the need for the abortion facilishyties and the states procedures in approving their opening
Initially the state hea1th deshypartment allowed the facilities to open without holding a public hearing After public outcry a hearing was held but the health department reiterated its decisshyion
Michael costello attorney for the bishop said the issue in the case is not the legality of aborshytion itself but the states handshyling of the matter and the quesshytion of whether the centers are necessary since he said aborshytion demand is down in the Alshybanyarea
He also s~id abortions would mean fewer children could be placed for adoption through Community Maternity Services a pregnancy-assistance program affiliated with Catholic Charishyties
Deborah Bachrach assistant state attorney general assigned to defend the state heamiddotlth departshyments action in approving the abortion centers said the issue is not the number of abortions but the need for low-cost aborshytions
She said thata hospital aborshytion costs $700-$1000 while Planned Parenthood abortions would cost about $200

Some schools will mark the week with field trips to nursing homes libraries and fire stations to bring to others the students desire to share the vision through action
Many schools will hold special liturgies plan teacher appreciamiddot tion days host luncheons p1an-

LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

the living word the moorira-
The Word and Words In this age of dazzling telecommunications It IS easy to
overlook the importance and need of the printed word So often we seek primarily speed and swiftness of communishy
cation We only too readily sacrifice the accuracy and exactshyness of the written word
In fact national studies show that most students are unfamiliar with words and their usage Scholastic Aptitude Tests clearly indicate that such ignorance is a major deficiency in our overall edllcation structure
Our failure to instill knowledge of and respect for language in our schools has produced generations of students who are basically illiterate and unable to transmit communicate or inform with any grace or style In the final analysi~ we seem bent on reducing our ability to communicate with one aqother to the utterance of guttural sounds accompanied by equally murky visual images
Life for many has come to center around television images emitting endless pap that contributes little to intellectual middotdevelopment
Nor do many exampl~s of the printed word hold much promise
Indeed indications are that in our struggle to make all modern knowledge relevant we have lost the ability to comshymunicate it in words To compensate we have iotroduced signs and symbolsthat can be fed into a computer and some educators tell us that the same computer holds answers to all our problems
It is tragic even to think that amachil)e might become a substitute for personal communicatiQn merital images and individual expression
Somehow we have lost sight oft-he exciting truth thatthe word reflects the mind thatwritten iUs a projection of ones person that spoken it is artaudibiemiddotexpressioiio~indlviduClJism
From the earliesttlineman has been ~aughtupin words From the tower of Babel to the Word made flesh the Scripshytures are essentially Gods verbal presence in our midst
Prophets historians and scientists have striven endlessly in There is neither Jew nor Greek there is neither bond nor free there is their words for exactness of expression and integrity of
neither male nor female For you are all one in Christ Jesus Gal 328 thought But somehow in our expanding worldw~ are losing sight of the power of the word in form and content as well as in mind and in spirit
It would be shameful if our era were to be remembered as tbe one during which man lost his ability to usemiddot words as as means of communicating his inmost thoughts and feelings Good and bad in the media
This panegyric on words is offered on Anchor Sunday to remind us of the p~wer of the word especially of the Word By Father Kevin J Harrington calls sin as a relatively good thing their influence to convey their beliefs himself and to reiterate themiddotneed to communicate Gods word A few years ago a popular dieters The pressures to conform are not In this connection there are signs to all I maxim was You are what you eat limited to children and teenagers of hope in prime time television

5 Successful model Wisconsin Rapids Wise is
a pleasant town of 1700 that draws upon a tri-city populashytion of 40000 It has one Catholic high school Assumption that serves this population It has the normal issues facing all Catholic schools but what makes it special is its Parents Guild
Unlike most parents groups it goes beyond money raising and sports boosting Every year it puts out a good chunk of time and money on a family conference dedicated to helpshying families become better And its success invites imitation
The conference is modeled on the old mission concept - parents (and children if the topic is appropriate) attend three evenings in a row to meet listen to and ask questions of a visiting parent educator on how to -deal with parenting issues morals values and spirituality in todays family
Whats astounding is attendance This past September the conference drew an average of 350 parents shythis from a school which enrolls 400 students I have spoken in areas that size that struggle to get 50 parents out - whoever the speaker or whatshyever the topic
At a time when Catholic school staffs struggle with problems more societal than educational- alcoholshyism pre-marital sex and faith doubts - the need to help parents deal with these effectively is obvious Yet when schools do offer parenting workshops
attendance is usually sparse Many parents resent being expected to attend asserting that they have met their responsibility by enrolling their children in the school
Assumption Highs success illusshytrates what can result when diocesan staffs and school parents work togeshyther Four years ago diocesan (laCrosse) family life director Father Joe Bilgrien suggested that the Guild sponsor a parents conference
As a former teacher of marriage and family at the high school he recognized the need for parents to come together and share problems and solutions with a trained parent educator As a national figure on Catholic family life he was aware of resources available He made the contacts and extended the invitation to the conference speaker
But the success factor lies neither in Father Joe Bilgrien nor the conshyference speakers It stems from parshyent ownership of the event Once he obtains the speaker Father Bilgrien turns the rest over to the Parents Guild and they do a fantastic job
Before I came they arranged a long-distance radio talk show newspaper features and widespread publicity They taped topics of intershyest to parents - strengths and stresses of modern family life the frustration of trying to establish a spiritual clishymate in todays homes and adolesshycent issues
In addition to teaching parents in the evening we - the speakers shytaught seniors in the marriage and
Why be a priest What one single factor was
the greatest influence on your decision to become a priest
I just read through s~veral
thousand replies to that question from seminarians on the level of theology studies They have convinced me that God is very imaginative in the way he attracts men to the priesthood
The question is one of more than 300 being asked in a current study of seminarians The two answers given most often are the influence of priests and an inner calling
Many seminarians point to the good example priests have given them Some say it was a priest befriending them or being open with them that attracted them to that way of life Others were attracted by priests who reflected joy happiness and stability
A few replies pointed to a dissatisshyfaction with a particular priests style of ministry and a desire to right the situation
I believe there are many priests who would say that while their parents and the laity give them considerable strength in their vocation the crucial strength comes from other priests who are models
Most would tell you as the seminshyarians did that it is a blessing to meet a brother priest who reflects joy and a zest for life who is at peace with his work and who seems to be close to God
Whether it is a call to the priestshyhood sisterhood brotherhood marshyriage or whatever nothing is more
being inspired to do something wonshyderful
The seminarians description of their call to the priesthood reflected this stirring of the heart They deshyscribed it in many differenJ ways a desire to be close to God a sense of the right thing a feeling of fulfillment an inner desire they could no longer resist a response to a deeper meaning of life a pull to do Gods will
Many attributed their vocation to prayer
As I contemplated the mention of prayer Imiddotremembered the hours of prayer my fellow seminarians and I went through We were trying to make the right decision arguing with God about the merits of other lifelong commitment and the fear th~t we might make the wrong choice
And yet I am sure that anyone who has prayed over a difficult decision looks back over that period with some fondness Perhaps it is because God gets us where he wants us on our knees uncertain and thus more dependent and closer to him
There were many other fai~ors influencing seminarians Theexample of parents and grandparerits ranked high The desire to help others was cited frequently
As I continue to analyze and reflectmiddot on the responses from the seminshyarians I wondered why a priest nun or brother can attract one person to a consideration of the priesthood but not another
Why do certain families produce vocation to the priesthood when others just as good do not How is

DIETZEN
For many years the communion fast for the sick and aged and those who take care of them has been reduced to about 15 minutes
The new canon law of the church in effect since 1983 simply says Thoe who are advanced on age or who suffer from any infirmity as well as those who take care of them can nceive the most Holy Eucharist even if they have taken something ~uring the previous hour
Thus for all practical purposes the communion fast regulations do not apply to you Go to Communion after lunch as often as you can
Q On Trinity Sunday I visited anottner church and on the altar were two 1~lass pitchers with wine to be consecrated The tthalices were filled later to distribute to the people
Years ago the vessels for the Eucharshyist had to be solid and unbreakable Ksnt this true anymore (New Jersey)
A Present instructions concerning materials used at Mass simply say that sacred vessels should be made from solid materials which are considshyered suitable in each region (Ebony or hard wood are given as two examples) Chalices and other vessels which will hold the precious blood should have a non-absorbent cup and a base of any other solid and worthy material
Wl1I-designed pitchers or decanters are thus quite appropriate at masses when Communion will be given under both species to many people (A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about confession is available by sending a stamped selfshyaddressed envelope to Father Dietzen Holy Trinity Parish 704 N Main St Bloomington III 61701

Tridentine rules removal asked COCHIN India~NC) - Folshy
middotlowers of dissident Archbishop Marce1 Lefebvre have begun Cirshyculating a petition worldwide asking for removal of the disshycriminatory conditions set for celebration of the Tridentine Mass
The letter also asks for restorashytion of the Mass to its pre-Vatishycan II form and reportedly asks the pope to revoke the unjust suspension of Archbishop Lefeshybvre a well-known opponent of Vatican II changes The Frenchshyborn archbishop was suspended from all priestly functions in 1976 by Pope Paul VI after he ordained priests against Vatican orders
Father Patrice Laroche one of Archbishop Lefebvres misshysionaries said the archbishop alshyready has asked Rome that the conditions be dropped
In October the Vatican Conshygregation for Divine Worship issued a qetter to bishops worldshywide approving use of the Trishydentine Mass for groups of Cathshydlics who request it However the letter said the Mass was not for ordinary use in parishes and Bishops should allow its use only by priests and faithful who lccept the liturgical changes in the new Roman missal
At that time Archbishop Augustin Mayer prefect of the Vatica~ congregation said it was by no means a concession to Lefebvre
Father Laroche who visited Cochin to recruit priests for Archbishop Lefebvres seminary in Econe Switzerland said he thought the October indult was a smal1 step toward reconciliashytion betweenthe Vatican and the archbishops Fraternity of St Pius X He said the archbishops followers would not be satisfied with the new Mass until it undershywent strong revision
People who are attached to the Tridentine Mass are attachshyed not because it is beautiful but because the new Mass is leading to Protestantism Father Laroche said
A Vatican source said reinshystatement of Archbishop Lefeshybvre would depend on a reconshyciliation between the pope and the archbishop
Faith important VATICAN CITY NC) - Good
religious education includes modshyern catechetical methods Pope John Paul II said at a regular Wednesday audience Every positive initiative which has been developed should be praised and encouarged the pope said In his talk the pope also noted the faith of the catechist is imshyportant in teaching Christian
values He said that scientific aspects of pedagogy would not be sufficient tomiddot make up for a lack of faith

Restraining order continued
AlJBANY NY (NC) - A New York judge Jan 25 extended a temporary restraining order obtained by Bishop Howard J Hubbard of Albany to prevent opening abortion faciHties at Planned Parenthood clinics in Alshybany and Hudson NY
State Supreme Court Justice Harold Hughes said that to overshyturn the restraining order would make largely academic the legal dispute between the dioshycese of AiJbany and the state whose health department issued permission for the ahortion censhyters to open
Led by Bishop Hubbard the Albany diocese chalJenged both the need for the abortion facilishyties and the states procedures in approving their opening
Initially the state hea1th deshypartment allowed the facilities to open without holding a public hearing After public outcry a hearing was held but the health department reiterated its decisshyion
Michael costello attorney for the bishop said the issue in the case is not the legality of aborshytion itself but the states handshyling of the matter and the quesshytion of whether the centers are necessary since he said aborshytion demand is down in the Alshybanyarea
He also s~id abortions would mean fewer children could be placed for adoption through Community Maternity Services a pregnancy-assistance program affiliated with Catholic Charishyties
Deborah Bachrach assistant state attorney general assigned to defend the state heamiddotlth departshyments action in approving the abortion centers said the issue is not the number of abortions but the need for low-cost aborshytions
She said thata hospital aborshytion costs $700-$1000 while Planned Parenthood abortions would cost about $200

LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984
by ~ow Sounds music
THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

the living word the moorira-
The Word and Words In this age of dazzling telecommunications It IS easy to
overlook the importance and need of the printed word So often we seek primarily speed and swiftness of communishy
cation We only too readily sacrifice the accuracy and exactshyness of the written word
In fact national studies show that most students are unfamiliar with words and their usage Scholastic Aptitude Tests clearly indicate that such ignorance is a major deficiency in our overall edllcation structure
Our failure to instill knowledge of and respect for language in our schools has produced generations of students who are basically illiterate and unable to transmit communicate or inform with any grace or style In the final analysi~ we seem bent on reducing our ability to communicate with one aqother to the utterance of guttural sounds accompanied by equally murky visual images
Life for many has come to center around television images emitting endless pap that contributes little to intellectual middotdevelopment
Nor do many exampl~s of the printed word hold much promise
Indeed indications are that in our struggle to make all modern knowledge relevant we have lost the ability to comshymunicate it in words To compensate we have iotroduced signs and symbolsthat can be fed into a computer and some educators tell us that the same computer holds answers to all our problems
It is tragic even to think that amachil)e might become a substitute for personal communicatiQn merital images and individual expression

5 Successful model Wisconsin Rapids Wise is
a pleasant town of 1700 that draws upon a tri-city populashytion of 40000 It has one Catholic high school Assumption that serves this population It has the normal issues facing all Catholic schools but what makes it special is its Parents Guild
Unlike most parents groups it goes beyond money raising and sports boosting Every year it puts out a good chunk of time and money on a family conference dedicated to helpshying families become better And its success invites imitation
The conference is modeled on the old mission concept - parents (and children if the topic is appropriate) attend three evenings in a row to meet listen to and ask questions of a visiting parent educator on how to -deal with parenting issues morals values and spirituality in todays family
Whats astounding is attendance This past September the conference drew an average of 350 parents shythis from a school which enrolls 400 students I have spoken in areas that size that struggle to get 50 parents out - whoever the speaker or whatshyever the topic
At a time when Catholic school staffs struggle with problems more societal than educational- alcoholshyism pre-marital sex and faith doubts - the need to help parents deal with these effectively is obvious Yet when schools do offer parenting workshops
attendance is usually sparse Many parents resent being expected to attend asserting that they have met their responsibility by enrolling their children in the school
Assumption Highs success illusshytrates what can result when diocesan staffs and school parents work togeshyther Four years ago diocesan (laCrosse) family life director Father Joe Bilgrien suggested that the Guild sponsor a parents conference
As a former teacher of marriage and family at the high school he recognized the need for parents to come together and share problems and solutions with a trained parent educator As a national figure on Catholic family life he was aware of resources available He made the contacts and extended the invitation to the conference speaker
But the success factor lies neither in Father Joe Bilgrien nor the conshyference speakers It stems from parshyent ownership of the event Once he obtains the speaker Father Bilgrien turns the rest over to the Parents Guild and they do a fantastic job
Before I came they arranged a long-distance radio talk show newspaper features and widespread publicity They taped topics of intershyest to parents - strengths and stresses of modern family life the frustration of trying to establish a spiritual clishymate in todays homes and adolesshycent issues
In addition to teaching parents in the evening we - the speakers shytaught seniors in the marriage and
Why be a priest What one single factor was
the greatest influence on your decision to become a priest
I just read through s~veral
thousand replies to that question from seminarians on the level of theology studies They have convinced me that God is very imaginative in the way he attracts men to the priesthood
The question is one of more than 300 being asked in a current study of seminarians The two answers given most often are the influence of priests and an inner calling
Many seminarians point to the good example priests have given them Some say it was a priest befriending them or being open with them that attracted them to that way of life Others were attracted by priests who reflected joy happiness and stability
A few replies pointed to a dissatisshyfaction with a particular priests style of ministry and a desire to right the situation
I believe there are many priests who would say that while their parents and the laity give them considerable strength in their vocation the crucial strength comes from other priests who are models
Most would tell you as the seminshyarians did that it is a blessing to meet a brother priest who reflects joy and a zest for life who is at peace with his work and who seems to be close to God
Whether it is a call to the priestshyhood sisterhood brotherhood marshyriage or whatever nothing is more
being inspired to do something wonshyderful
The seminarians description of their call to the priesthood reflected this stirring of the heart They deshyscribed it in many differenJ ways a desire to be close to God a sense of the right thing a feeling of fulfillment an inner desire they could no longer resist a response to a deeper meaning of life a pull to do Gods will
Many attributed their vocation to prayer
As I contemplated the mention of prayer Imiddotremembered the hours of prayer my fellow seminarians and I went through We were trying to make the right decision arguing with God about the merits of other lifelong commitment and the fear th~t we might make the wrong choice
And yet I am sure that anyone who has prayed over a difficult decision looks back over that period with some fondness Perhaps it is because God gets us where he wants us on our knees uncertain and thus more dependent and closer to him
There were many other fai~ors influencing seminarians Theexample of parents and grandparerits ranked high The desire to help others was cited frequently
As I continue to analyze and reflectmiddot on the responses from the seminshyarians I wondered why a priest nun or brother can attract one person to a consideration of the priesthood but not another
Why do certain families produce vocation to the priesthood when others just as good do not How is

DIETZEN
For many years the communion fast for the sick and aged and those who take care of them has been reduced to about 15 minutes
The new canon law of the church in effect since 1983 simply says Thoe who are advanced on age or who suffer from any infirmity as well as those who take care of them can nceive the most Holy Eucharist even if they have taken something ~uring the previous hour
Thus for all practical purposes the communion fast regulations do not apply to you Go to Communion after lunch as often as you can
Q On Trinity Sunday I visited anottner church and on the altar were two 1~lass pitchers with wine to be consecrated The tthalices were filled later to distribute to the people
Years ago the vessels for the Eucharshyist had to be solid and unbreakable Ksnt this true anymore (New Jersey)
A Present instructions concerning materials used at Mass simply say that sacred vessels should be made from solid materials which are considshyered suitable in each region (Ebony or hard wood are given as two examples) Chalices and other vessels which will hold the precious blood should have a non-absorbent cup and a base of any other solid and worthy material
Wl1I-designed pitchers or decanters are thus quite appropriate at masses when Communion will be given under both species to many people (A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about confession is available by sending a stamped selfshyaddressed envelope to Father Dietzen Holy Trinity Parish 704 N Main St Bloomington III 61701

Tridentine rules removal asked COCHIN India~NC) - Folshy
middotlowers of dissident Archbishop Marce1 Lefebvre have begun Cirshyculating a petition worldwide asking for removal of the disshycriminatory conditions set for celebration of the Tridentine Mass
The letter also asks for restorashytion of the Mass to its pre-Vatishycan II form and reportedly asks the pope to revoke the unjust suspension of Archbishop Lefeshybvre a well-known opponent of Vatican II changes The Frenchshyborn archbishop was suspended from all priestly functions in 1976 by Pope Paul VI after he ordained priests against Vatican orders
Father Patrice Laroche one of Archbishop Lefebvres misshysionaries said the archbishop alshyready has asked Rome that the conditions be dropped
In October the Vatican Conshygregation for Divine Worship issued a qetter to bishops worldshywide approving use of the Trishydentine Mass for groups of Cathshydlics who request it However the letter said the Mass was not for ordinary use in parishes and Bishops should allow its use only by priests and faithful who lccept the liturgical changes in the new Roman missal
At that time Archbishop Augustin Mayer prefect of the Vatica~ congregation said it was by no means a concession to Lefebvre
Father Laroche who visited Cochin to recruit priests for Archbishop Lefebvres seminary in Econe Switzerland said he thought the October indult was a smal1 step toward reconciliashytion betweenthe Vatican and the archbishops Fraternity of St Pius X He said the archbishops followers would not be satisfied with the new Mass until it undershywent strong revision
People who are attached to the Tridentine Mass are attachshyed not because it is beautiful but because the new Mass is leading to Protestantism Father Laroche said
A Vatican source said reinshystatement of Archbishop Lefeshybvre would depend on a reconshyciliation between the pope and the archbishop
Faith important VATICAN CITY NC) - Good
religious education includes modshyern catechetical methods Pope John Paul II said at a regular Wednesday audience Every positive initiative which has been developed should be praised and encouarged the pope said In his talk the pope also noted the faith of the catechist is imshyportant in teaching Christian
values He said that scientific aspects of pedagogy would not be sufficient tomiddot make up for a lack of faith

Restraining order continued
AlJBANY NY (NC) - A New York judge Jan 25 extended a temporary restraining order obtained by Bishop Howard J Hubbard of Albany to prevent opening abortion faciHties at Planned Parenthood clinics in Alshybany and Hudson NY
State Supreme Court Justice Harold Hughes said that to overshyturn the restraining order would make largely academic the legal dispute between the dioshycese of AiJbany and the state whose health department issued permission for the ahortion censhyters to open
Led by Bishop Hubbard the Albany diocese chalJenged both the need for the abortion facilishyties and the states procedures in approving their opening
Initially the state hea1th deshypartment allowed the facilities to open without holding a public hearing After public outcry a hearing was held but the health department reiterated its decisshyion
Michael costello attorney for the bishop said the issue in the case is not the legality of aborshytion itself but the states handshyling of the matter and the quesshytion of whether the centers are necessary since he said aborshytion demand is down in the Alshybanyarea
He also s~id abortions would mean fewer children could be placed for adoption through Community Maternity Services a pregnancy-assistance program affiliated with Catholic Charishyties
Deborah Bachrach assistant state attorney general assigned to defend the state heamiddotlth departshyments action in approving the abortion centers said the issue is not the number of abortions but the need for low-cost aborshytions
She said thata hospital aborshytion costs $700-$1000 while Planned Parenthood abortions would cost about $200

10 THE ANCHOROiocese of FCiilRiverFriday Feb 1 1985
LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984
by ~ow Sounds music
THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

the living word the moorira-
The Word and Words In this age of dazzling telecommunications It IS easy to
overlook the importance and need of the printed word So often we seek primarily speed and swiftness of communishy
cation We only too readily sacrifice the accuracy and exactshyness of the written word
In fact national studies show that most students are unfamiliar with words and their usage Scholastic Aptitude Tests clearly indicate that such ignorance is a major deficiency in our overall edllcation structure
Our failure to instill knowledge of and respect for language in our schools has produced generations of students who are basically illiterate and unable to transmit communicate or inform with any grace or style In the final analysi~ we seem bent on reducing our ability to communicate with one aqother to the utterance of guttural sounds accompanied by equally murky visual images
Life for many has come to center around television images emitting endless pap that contributes little to intellectual middotdevelopment
Nor do many exampl~s of the printed word hold much promise
Indeed indications are that in our struggle to make all modern knowledge relevant we have lost the ability to comshymunicate it in words To compensate we have iotroduced signs and symbolsthat can be fed into a computer and some educators tell us that the same computer holds answers to all our problems
It is tragic even to think that amachil)e might become a substitute for personal communicatiQn merital images and individual expression
Somehow we have lost sight oft-he exciting truth thatthe word reflects the mind thatwritten iUs a projection of ones person that spoken it is artaudibiemiddotexpressioiio~indlviduClJism
From the earliesttlineman has been ~aughtupin words From the tower of Babel to the Word made flesh the Scripshytures are essentially Gods verbal presence in our midst
Prophets historians and scientists have striven endlessly in There is neither Jew nor Greek there is neither bond nor free there is their words for exactness of expression and integrity of
neither male nor female For you are all one in Christ Jesus Gal 328 thought But somehow in our expanding worldw~ are losing sight of the power of the word in form and content as well as in mind and in spirit
It would be shameful if our era were to be remembered as tbe one during which man lost his ability to usemiddot words as as means of communicating his inmost thoughts and feelings Good and bad in the media
This panegyric on words is offered on Anchor Sunday to remind us of the p~wer of the word especially of the Word By Father Kevin J Harrington calls sin as a relatively good thing their influence to convey their beliefs himself and to reiterate themiddotneed to communicate Gods word A few years ago a popular dieters The pressures to conform are not In this connection there are signs to all I maxim was You are what you eat limited to children and teenagers of hope in prime time television

a pleasant town of 1700 that draws upon a tri-city populashytion of 40000 It has one Catholic high school Assumption that serves this population It has the normal issues facing all Catholic schools but what makes it special is its Parents Guild
Unlike most parents groups it goes beyond money raising and sports boosting Every year it puts out a good chunk of time and money on a family conference dedicated to helpshying families become better And its success invites imitation
The conference is modeled on the old mission concept - parents (and children if the topic is appropriate) attend three evenings in a row to meet listen to and ask questions of a visiting parent educator on how to -deal with parenting issues morals values and spirituality in todays family
Whats astounding is attendance This past September the conference drew an average of 350 parents shythis from a school which enrolls 400 students I have spoken in areas that size that struggle to get 50 parents out - whoever the speaker or whatshyever the topic
At a time when Catholic school staffs struggle with problems more societal than educational- alcoholshyism pre-marital sex and faith doubts - the need to help parents deal with these effectively is obvious Yet when schools do offer parenting workshops
attendance is usually sparse Many parents resent being expected to attend asserting that they have met their responsibility by enrolling their children in the school
Assumption Highs success illusshytrates what can result when diocesan staffs and school parents work togeshyther Four years ago diocesan (laCrosse) family life director Father Joe Bilgrien suggested that the Guild sponsor a parents conference
As a former teacher of marriage and family at the high school he recognized the need for parents to come together and share problems and solutions with a trained parent educator As a national figure on Catholic family life he was aware of resources available He made the contacts and extended the invitation to the conference speaker
But the success factor lies neither in Father Joe Bilgrien nor the conshyference speakers It stems from parshyent ownership of the event Once he obtains the speaker Father Bilgrien turns the rest over to the Parents Guild and they do a fantastic job
Before I came they arranged a long-distance radio talk show newspaper features and widespread publicity They taped topics of intershyest to parents - strengths and stresses of modern family life the frustration of trying to establish a spiritual clishymate in todays homes and adolesshycent issues
In addition to teaching parents in the evening we - the speakers shytaught seniors in the marriage and
Why be a priest What one single factor was
the greatest influence on your decision to become a priest
I just read through s~veral
thousand replies to that question from seminarians on the level of theology studies They have convinced me that God is very imaginative in the way he attracts men to the priesthood
The question is one of more than 300 being asked in a current study of seminarians The two answers given most often are the influence of priests and an inner calling
Many seminarians point to the good example priests have given them Some say it was a priest befriending them or being open with them that attracted them to that way of life Others were attracted by priests who reflected joy happiness and stability
A few replies pointed to a dissatisshyfaction with a particular priests style of ministry and a desire to right the situation
I believe there are many priests who would say that while their parents and the laity give them considerable strength in their vocation the crucial strength comes from other priests who are models
Most would tell you as the seminshyarians did that it is a blessing to meet a brother priest who reflects joy and a zest for life who is at peace with his work and who seems to be close to God
Whether it is a call to the priestshyhood sisterhood brotherhood marshyriage or whatever nothing is more
being inspired to do something wonshyderful
The seminarians description of their call to the priesthood reflected this stirring of the heart They deshyscribed it in many differenJ ways a desire to be close to God a sense of the right thing a feeling of fulfillment an inner desire they could no longer resist a response to a deeper meaning of life a pull to do Gods will
Many attributed their vocation to prayer
As I contemplated the mention of prayer Imiddotremembered the hours of prayer my fellow seminarians and I went through We were trying to make the right decision arguing with God about the merits of other lifelong commitment and the fear th~t we might make the wrong choice
And yet I am sure that anyone who has prayed over a difficult decision looks back over that period with some fondness Perhaps it is because God gets us where he wants us on our knees uncertain and thus more dependent and closer to him
There were many other fai~ors influencing seminarians Theexample of parents and grandparerits ranked high The desire to help others was cited frequently
As I continue to analyze and reflectmiddot on the responses from the seminshyarians I wondered why a priest nun or brother can attract one person to a consideration of the priesthood but not another
Why do certain families produce vocation to the priesthood when others just as good do not How is

DIETZEN
For many years the communion fast for the sick and aged and those who take care of them has been reduced to about 15 minutes
The new canon law of the church in effect since 1983 simply says Thoe who are advanced on age or who suffer from any infirmity as well as those who take care of them can nceive the most Holy Eucharist even if they have taken something ~uring the previous hour
Thus for all practical purposes the communion fast regulations do not apply to you Go to Communion after lunch as often as you can
Q On Trinity Sunday I visited anottner church and on the altar were two 1~lass pitchers with wine to be consecrated The tthalices were filled later to distribute to the people
Years ago the vessels for the Eucharshyist had to be solid and unbreakable Ksnt this true anymore (New Jersey)
A Present instructions concerning materials used at Mass simply say that sacred vessels should be made from solid materials which are considshyered suitable in each region (Ebony or hard wood are given as two examples) Chalices and other vessels which will hold the precious blood should have a non-absorbent cup and a base of any other solid and worthy material
Wl1I-designed pitchers or decanters are thus quite appropriate at masses when Communion will be given under both species to many people (A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about confession is available by sending a stamped selfshyaddressed envelope to Father Dietzen Holy Trinity Parish 704 N Main St Bloomington III 61701

Tridentine rules removal asked COCHIN India~NC) - Folshy
middotlowers of dissident Archbishop Marce1 Lefebvre have begun Cirshyculating a petition worldwide asking for removal of the disshycriminatory conditions set for celebration of the Tridentine Mass
The letter also asks for restorashytion of the Mass to its pre-Vatishycan II form and reportedly asks the pope to revoke the unjust suspension of Archbishop Lefeshybvre a well-known opponent of Vatican II changes The Frenchshyborn archbishop was suspended from all priestly functions in 1976 by Pope Paul VI after he ordained priests against Vatican orders
Father Patrice Laroche one of Archbishop Lefebvres misshysionaries said the archbishop alshyready has asked Rome that the conditions be dropped
In October the Vatican Conshygregation for Divine Worship issued a qetter to bishops worldshywide approving use of the Trishydentine Mass for groups of Cathshydlics who request it However the letter said the Mass was not for ordinary use in parishes and Bishops should allow its use only by priests and faithful who lccept the liturgical changes in the new Roman missal
At that time Archbishop Augustin Mayer prefect of the Vatica~ congregation said it was by no means a concession to Lefebvre
Father Laroche who visited Cochin to recruit priests for Archbishop Lefebvres seminary in Econe Switzerland said he thought the October indult was a smal1 step toward reconciliashytion betweenthe Vatican and the archbishops Fraternity of St Pius X He said the archbishops followers would not be satisfied with the new Mass until it undershywent strong revision
People who are attached to the Tridentine Mass are attachshyed not because it is beautiful but because the new Mass is leading to Protestantism Father Laroche said
A Vatican source said reinshystatement of Archbishop Lefeshybvre would depend on a reconshyciliation between the pope and the archbishop
Faith important VATICAN CITY NC) - Good
religious education includes modshyern catechetical methods Pope John Paul II said at a regular Wednesday audience Every positive initiative which has been developed should be praised and encouarged the pope said In his talk the pope also noted the faith of the catechist is imshyportant in teaching Christian
values He said that scientific aspects of pedagogy would not be sufficient tomiddot make up for a lack of faith

Restraining order continued
AlJBANY NY (NC) - A New York judge Jan 25 extended a temporary restraining order obtained by Bishop Howard J Hubbard of Albany to prevent opening abortion faciHties at Planned Parenthood clinics in Alshybany and Hudson NY
State Supreme Court Justice Harold Hughes said that to overshyturn the restraining order would make largely academic the legal dispute between the dioshycese of AiJbany and the state whose health department issued permission for the ahortion censhyters to open
Led by Bishop Hubbard the Albany diocese chalJenged both the need for the abortion facilishyties and the states procedures in approving their opening
Initially the state hea1th deshypartment allowed the facilities to open without holding a public hearing After public outcry a hearing was held but the health department reiterated its decisshyion
Michael costello attorney for the bishop said the issue in the case is not the legality of aborshytion itself but the states handshyling of the matter and the quesshytion of whether the centers are necessary since he said aborshytion demand is down in the Alshybanyarea
He also s~id abortions would mean fewer children could be placed for adoption through Community Maternity Services a pregnancy-assistance program affiliated with Catholic Charishyties
Deborah Bachrach assistant state attorney general assigned to defend the state heamiddotlth departshyments action in approving the abortion centers said the issue is not the number of abortions but the need for low-cost aborshytions
She said thata hospital aborshytion costs $700-$1000 while Planned Parenthood abortions would cost about $200

LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo

THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

5 Successful model Wisconsin Rapids Wise is
a pleasant town of 1700 that draws upon a tri-city populashytion of 40000 It has one Catholic high school Assumption that serves this population It has the normal issues facing all Catholic schools but what makes it special is its Parents Guild
Unlike most parents groups it goes beyond money raising and sports boosting Every year it puts out a good chunk of time and money on a family conference dedicated to helpshying families become better And its success invites imitation
The conference is modeled on the old mission concept - parents (and children if the topic is appropriate) attend three evenings in a row to meet listen to and ask questions of a visiting parent educator on how to -deal with parenting issues morals values and spirituality in todays family
Whats astounding is attendance This past September the conference drew an average of 350 parents shythis from a school which enrolls 400 students I have spoken in areas that size that struggle to get 50 parents out - whoever the speaker or whatshyever the topic
At a time when Catholic school staffs struggle with problems more societal than educational- alcoholshyism pre-marital sex and faith doubts - the need to help parents deal with these effectively is obvious Yet when schools do offer parenting workshops
attendance is usually sparse Many parents resent being expected to attend asserting that they have met their responsibility by enrolling their children in the school
Assumption Highs success illusshytrates what can result when diocesan staffs and school parents work togeshyther Four years ago diocesan (laCrosse) family life director Father Joe Bilgrien suggested that the Guild sponsor a parents conference
As a former teacher of marriage and family at the high school he recognized the need for parents to come together and share problems and solutions with a trained parent educator As a national figure on Catholic family life he was aware of resources available He made the contacts and extended the invitation to the conference speaker
But the success factor lies neither in Father Joe Bilgrien nor the conshyference speakers It stems from parshyent ownership of the event Once he obtains the speaker Father Bilgrien turns the rest over to the Parents Guild and they do a fantastic job
Before I came they arranged a long-distance radio talk show newspaper features and widespread publicity They taped topics of intershyest to parents - strengths and stresses of modern family life the frustration of trying to establish a spiritual clishymate in todays homes and adolesshycent issues
In addition to teaching parents in the evening we - the speakers shytaught seniors in the marriage and
Why be a priest What one single factor was
the greatest influence on your decision to become a priest
I just read through s~veral
thousand replies to that question from seminarians on the level of theology studies They have convinced me that God is very imaginative in the way he attracts men to the priesthood
The question is one of more than 300 being asked in a current study of seminarians The two answers given most often are the influence of priests and an inner calling
Many seminarians point to the good example priests have given them Some say it was a priest befriending them or being open with them that attracted them to that way of life Others were attracted by priests who reflected joy happiness and stability
A few replies pointed to a dissatisshyfaction with a particular priests style of ministry and a desire to right the situation
I believe there are many priests who would say that while their parents and the laity give them considerable strength in their vocation the crucial strength comes from other priests who are models
Most would tell you as the seminshyarians did that it is a blessing to meet a brother priest who reflects joy and a zest for life who is at peace with his work and who seems to be close to God
Whether it is a call to the priestshyhood sisterhood brotherhood marshyriage or whatever nothing is more
being inspired to do something wonshyderful
The seminarians description of their call to the priesthood reflected this stirring of the heart They deshyscribed it in many differenJ ways a desire to be close to God a sense of the right thing a feeling of fulfillment an inner desire they could no longer resist a response to a deeper meaning of life a pull to do Gods will
Many attributed their vocation to prayer
As I contemplated the mention of prayer Imiddotremembered the hours of prayer my fellow seminarians and I went through We were trying to make the right decision arguing with God about the merits of other lifelong commitment and the fear th~t we might make the wrong choice
And yet I am sure that anyone who has prayed over a difficult decision looks back over that period with some fondness Perhaps it is because God gets us where he wants us on our knees uncertain and thus more dependent and closer to him
There were many other fai~ors influencing seminarians Theexample of parents and grandparerits ranked high The desire to help others was cited frequently
As I continue to analyze and reflectmiddot on the responses from the seminshyarians I wondered why a priest nun or brother can attract one person to a consideration of the priesthood but not another
Why do certain families produce vocation to the priesthood when others just as good do not How is

DIETZEN
For many years the communion fast for the sick and aged and those who take care of them has been reduced to about 15 minutes
The new canon law of the church in effect since 1983 simply says Thoe who are advanced on age or who suffer from any infirmity as well as those who take care of them can nceive the most Holy Eucharist even if they have taken something ~uring the previous hour
Thus for all practical purposes the communion fast regulations do not apply to you Go to Communion after lunch as often as you can
Q On Trinity Sunday I visited anottner church and on the altar were two 1~lass pitchers with wine to be consecrated The tthalices were filled later to distribute to the people
Years ago the vessels for the Eucharshyist had to be solid and unbreakable Ksnt this true anymore (New Jersey)
A Present instructions concerning materials used at Mass simply say that sacred vessels should be made from solid materials which are considshyered suitable in each region (Ebony or hard wood are given as two examples) Chalices and other vessels which will hold the precious blood should have a non-absorbent cup and a base of any other solid and worthy material
Wl1I-designed pitchers or decanters are thus quite appropriate at masses when Communion will be given under both species to many people (A free brochure answering questions Catholics ask about confession is available by sending a stamped selfshyaddressed envelope to Father Dietzen Holy Trinity Parish 704 N Main St Bloomington III 61701

The letter also asks for restorashytion of the Mass to its pre-Vatishycan II form and reportedly asks the pope to revoke the unjust suspension of Archbishop Lefeshybvre a well-known opponent of Vatican II changes The Frenchshyborn archbishop was suspended from all priestly functions in 1976 by Pope Paul VI after he ordained priests against Vatican orders
Father Patrice Laroche one of Archbishop Lefebvres misshysionaries said the archbishop alshyready has asked Rome that the conditions be dropped
In October the Vatican Conshygregation for Divine Worship issued a qetter to bishops worldshywide approving use of the Trishydentine Mass for groups of Cathshydlics who request it However the letter said the Mass was not for ordinary use in parishes and Bishops should allow its use only by priests and faithful who lccept the liturgical changes in the new Roman missal
At that time Archbishop Augustin Mayer prefect of the Vatica~ congregation said it was by no means a concession to Lefebvre
Father Laroche who visited Cochin to recruit priests for Archbishop Lefebvres seminary in Econe Switzerland said he thought the October indult was a smal1 step toward reconciliashytion betweenthe Vatican and the archbishops Fraternity of St Pius X He said the archbishops followers would not be satisfied with the new Mass until it undershywent strong revision
People who are attached to the Tridentine Mass are attachshyed not because it is beautiful but because the new Mass is leading to Protestantism Father Laroche said
A Vatican source said reinshystatement of Archbishop Lefeshybvre would depend on a reconshyciliation between the pope and the archbishop
Faith important VATICAN CITY NC) - Good
religious education includes modshyern catechetical methods Pope John Paul II said at a regular Wednesday audience Every positive initiative which has been developed should be praised and encouarged the pope said In his talk the pope also noted the faith of the catechist is imshyportant in teaching Christian
values He said that scientific aspects of pedagogy would not be sufficient tomiddot make up for a lack of faith

Restraining order continued
AlJBANY NY (NC) - A New York judge Jan 25 extended a temporary restraining order obtained by Bishop Howard J Hubbard of Albany to prevent opening abortion faciHties at Planned Parenthood clinics in Alshybany and Hudson NY
State Supreme Court Justice Harold Hughes said that to overshyturn the restraining order would make largely academic the legal dispute between the dioshycese of AiJbany and the state whose health department issued permission for the ahortion censhyters to open
Led by Bishop Hubbard the Albany diocese chalJenged both the need for the abortion facilishyties and the states procedures in approving their opening
Initially the state hea1th deshypartment allowed the facilities to open without holding a public hearing After public outcry a hearing was held but the health department reiterated its decisshyion
Michael costello attorney for the bishop said the issue in the case is not the legality of aborshytion itself but the states handshyling of the matter and the quesshytion of whether the centers are necessary since he said aborshytion demand is down in the Alshybanyarea
He also s~id abortions would mean fewer children could be placed for adoption through Community Maternity Services a pregnancy-assistance program affiliated with Catholic Charishyties
Deborah Bachrach assistant state attorney general assigned to defend the state heamiddotlth departshyments action in approving the abortion centers said the issue is not the number of abortions but the need for low-cost aborshytions
She said thata hospital aborshytion costs $700-$1000 while Planned Parenthood abortions would cost about $200

LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

Tridentine rules removal asked COCHIN India~NC) - Folshy
middotlowers of dissident Archbishop Marce1 Lefebvre have begun Cirshyculating a petition worldwide asking for removal of the disshycriminatory conditions set for celebration of the Tridentine Mass
The letter also asks for restorashytion of the Mass to its pre-Vatishycan II form and reportedly asks the pope to revoke the unjust suspension of Archbishop Lefeshybvre a well-known opponent of Vatican II changes The Frenchshyborn archbishop was suspended from all priestly functions in 1976 by Pope Paul VI after he ordained priests against Vatican orders
Father Patrice Laroche one of Archbishop Lefebvres misshysionaries said the archbishop alshyready has asked Rome that the conditions be dropped
In October the Vatican Conshygregation for Divine Worship issued a qetter to bishops worldshywide approving use of the Trishydentine Mass for groups of Cathshydlics who request it However the letter said the Mass was not for ordinary use in parishes and Bishops should allow its use only by priests and faithful who lccept the liturgical changes in the new Roman missal
At that time Archbishop Augustin Mayer prefect of the Vatica~ congregation said it was by no means a concession to Lefebvre
Father Laroche who visited Cochin to recruit priests for Archbishop Lefebvres seminary in Econe Switzerland said he thought the October indult was a smal1 step toward reconciliashytion betweenthe Vatican and the archbishops Fraternity of St Pius X He said the archbishops followers would not be satisfied with the new Mass until it undershywent strong revision
People who are attached to the Tridentine Mass are attachshyed not because it is beautiful but because the new Mass is leading to Protestantism Father Laroche said
A Vatican source said reinshystatement of Archbishop Lefeshybvre would depend on a reconshyciliation between the pope and the archbishop
Faith important VATICAN CITY NC) - Good
religious education includes modshyern catechetical methods Pope John Paul II said at a regular Wednesday audience Every positive initiative which has been developed should be praised and encouarged the pope said In his talk the pope also noted the faith of the catechist is imshyportant in teaching Christian
values He said that scientific aspects of pedagogy would not be sufficient tomiddot make up for a lack of faith

The educator and civic and diocesan leader died Jan 23 in Memphis Tenn at age 84 Her whole life centered
around the church summed up Msgr Anthony M Gomes dioshycesan Ball director and Miss Lashyheys longtime friend He reshycalmiddotled visiting her in Memphis in 1983 when he was in the city for a Liberty Bowl game with the Notre Dame football team
She came to a Mass I celeshybrated and then I blessed h~r

She taught special education classes in Fall River public schools until her retirement in 1965 then taught an additional five years at St Patricks School Fall River
Miss Lahey was active and held office in area teachers asshysociations and was named 1977 Woman of the Year by the Fall River Business and Professional Womens Club of which she was a charter member She was first woman chairperson of the Greatshyer Fall River chapter of the Amshyerican Red Cross

Restraining order continued
AlJBANY NY (NC) - A New York judge Jan 25 extended a temporary restraining order obtained by Bishop Howard J Hubbard of Albany to prevent opening abortion faciHties at Planned Parenthood clinics in Alshybany and Hudson NY
State Supreme Court Justice Harold Hughes said that to overshyturn the restraining order would make largely academic the legal dispute between the dioshycese of AiJbany and the state whose health department issued permission for the ahortion censhyters to open
Led by Bishop Hubbard the Albany diocese chalJenged both the need for the abortion facilishyties and the states procedures in approving their opening
Initially the state hea1th deshypartment allowed the facilities to open without holding a public hearing After public outcry a hearing was held but the health department reiterated its decisshyion
Michael costello attorney for the bishop said the issue in the case is not the legality of aborshytion itself but the states handshyling of the matter and the quesshytion of whether the centers are necessary since he said aborshytion demand is down in the Alshybanyarea
He also s~id abortions would mean fewer children could be placed for adoption through Community Maternity Services a pregnancy-assistance program affiliated with Catholic Charishyties
Deborah Bachrach assistant state attorney general assigned to defend the state heamiddotlth departshyments action in approving the abortion centers said the issue is not the number of abortions but the need for low-cost aborshytions
She said thata hospital aborshytion costs $700-$1000 while Planned Parenthood abortions would cost about $200

Some schools will mark the week with field trips to nursing homes libraries and fire stations to bring to others the students desire to share the vision through action
Many schools will hold special liturgies plan teacher appreciamiddot tion days host luncheons p1an-

10 THE ANCHOROiocese of FCiilRiverFriday Feb 1 1985
LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

14 THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Friday feb -1 1985
By Charlie Martin
GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984
by ~ow Sounds music
THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others
Whats O~ Y~l1r
mindmiddotmiddotmiddotmiddotmiddotmiddotmiddot Q A frIend has parents who
are getting a divorce What can I do to help him through this Also should I talk to him about it or ignore it (Oregon)
A What your friend likely needs above all else at this time is plenty of supportive friendshysJtip So be a strong and good friend bull
Let liim know that if h~ vants to talk aboutmiddot his paren~s div- orce you wilLbe a willing Hstenshyer If he prefers not tlti~lkab~ut
it and wants t9 speak of Ather things when hes with You let him know thais OK too If you think he likes to do
things that will distract him from the painful sitUation atmiddot home try to be ready with ideas forthings the two of you cando But dont become hyper about
plannjng activities and keeping up a steady str~am of talk about things other than the divorce

LENNON
Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

M Laurita Hand PBVM supershyintendent of diocesan schools noted that observances include parent sessions some already held where students parents and teachers brainstormed to disshycover unique ways of sharing the vision and teaching of valshyues
Among results she said were parent offers of aid at schools ranging from monitoring schoolshyyards to preparing specia1 prayer experiences
Some schools will mark the week with field trips to nursing homes libraries and fire stations to bring to others the students desire to share the vision through action
Many schools will hold special liturgies plan teacher appreciamiddot tion days host luncheons p1an-

The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984
by ~ow Sounds music
THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

Catholic schools are not only an alternative of choice they are also an alternative way of doshying the work of education in a school environment We have a message to share Jesus is Lord He is our supreme value and in Him we are dega community of brothers and sisters joined by the good news that we are beshyloved of the Father This messhysage chaUenges us to design new processes that practice the messhysage we preach
As we celebrate and are chalshylenged by the values we teach and the vision we share let us all remember and be encourshyaged that in the final analysis what really matters is the integshyrity with which we pursue our high and noble goals visions

Diocesan Observes On the diocesan level Sister
M Laurita Hand PBVM supershyintendent of diocesan schools noted that observances include parent sessions some already held where students parents and teachers brainstormed to disshycover unique ways of sharing the vision and teaching of valshyues
Among results she said were parent offers of aid at schools ranging from monitoring schoolshyyards to preparing specia1 prayer experiences
Some schools will mark the week with field trips to nursing homes libraries and fire stations to bring to others the students desire to share the vision through action
Many schools will hold special liturgies plan teacher appreciamiddot tion days host luncheons p1an-
As a result of such extreme poverty tuberculosis has inshycreased dramatically In the last few years every day I had one or two emergency baptisms of bashybies dying from malnutrition
Father Murrays new work wi1l take him into the dioceses of New York Bridgeport Hartshyford and Norwich and include talking to churchmiddot groups about Peru recruiting missioners for overseas service and raising funds for poverty projects
Born in New Bedford May 18 1922 Father Murray is the son of the late Mr and Mrs Charles Murray Before entering the Maryknoll community in 1942 he attended Boston University
June 20 1976 he celebrated a Mass with priest friends in the diocese at St Lawrence Church New Bedford in thanksgiving for his silver jubilee of ordinashytion
ned and cooked by students and express in various ways their appreciation for continuing supshyport from parents and grandshyparents of students
Also expressing the values of Catholic education will be essays posters letters and messages of gratitude to parish communities for support and concern said Sister Laurita

10 THE ANCHOROiocese of FCiilRiverFriday Feb 1 1985
LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

By Charlie Martin
GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984
by ~ow Sounds music
THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

Diocesan Observes On the diocesan level Sister
M Laurita Hand PBVM supershyintendent of diocesan schools noted that observances include parent sessions some already held where students parents and teachers brainstormed to disshycover unique ways of sharing the vision and teaching of valshyues
Among results she said were parent offers of aid at schools ranging from monitoring schoolshyyards to preparing specia1 prayer experiences
Some schools will mark the week with field trips to nursing homes libraries and fire stations to bring to others the students desire to share the vision through action
Many schools will hold special liturgies plan teacher appreciamiddot tion days host luncheons p1an-
As a result of such extreme poverty tuberculosis has inshycreased dramatically In the last few years every day I had one or two emergency baptisms of bashybies dying from malnutrition
Father Murrays new work wi1l take him into the dioceses of New York Bridgeport Hartshyford and Norwich and include talking to churchmiddot groups about Peru recruiting missioners for overseas service and raising funds for poverty projects
Born in New Bedford May 18 1922 Father Murray is the son of the late Mr and Mrs Charles Murray Before entering the Maryknoll community in 1942 he attended Boston University
June 20 1976 he celebrated a Mass with priest friends in the diocese at St Lawrence Church New Bedford in thanksgiving for his silver jubilee of ordinashytion
ned and cooked by students and express in various ways their appreciation for continuing supshyport from parents and grandshyparents of students
Also expressing the values of Catholic education will be essays posters letters and messages of gratitude to parish communities for support and concern said Sister Laurita

While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference
WITH FLOWERS BALLOONS and the presence of (left) Msgr Luiz G Mendonca diocesan vicar genshyeral and pastor of Our Lady of Mt Carmel parish New Bedford and Bishop Florentino A Silva from the Alshygarve province of Portugal Dorothean Sister Margaret Walsh celebrated her 90th birthday last Jan 12
The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984
by ~ow Sounds music
THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

LOU FLORIO of St Pius X parish South Yarmouth ajunior at Virginia Military Institute was among volun- teers who spent part of their Christmas vacation working on projects sponsored by Glenmary Home Missioners in Lewis County KY
While in Kentucky Florio worked at a health care center for the handicapped and helped clear land and dig a foundation for a home for a needy family
The alcoholics family By Dr James and Mary Kenny program for recovery The famshy treatment to no avail So the
Dear Dr Kenny I read your answer to a mother whose adult son was a heavy drinker Where an alcohOlic is present four to five additional people may beshycome emotionally physically and spiritually sickmiddot Everyone begins to blame everyone ~se
I wish you would have menshytioned AI-Anon to the mother and the wife If the son decided to get h~p in AA the mother and the wife would remain sick until they got help for themshyselves
The problem is the disease of alcoholism - Kentucky
Thank you for reminding us of Alcoholics Anonymous and its partner group for relatives AIshyAnon Of all the self-help groups AA and AI-Anon are the most successful in accomplishing their purposes
The relatives of alcoholics and all our readers can benefit from
ily also needs help in coping with problems caused by the exshycessive drinking
The alcoholic may be suffershying from an illness but one which has a tremendous effect upon the spouse parent sister brother and child The more Unshy
settled these persons become the less constructive their help will be The interaction between alshycoholic and family must ibe changed if the alcoholic is to reshycover
While the problems of alcoshyholism do not lie in the bottle but in persons recovery cannot
begin until the alcoholic is able to break away completely from the bottle and stop drinking alshycohol Recovery is similar to the construction of a middotlarge building Many persons may contribute but the cornerstone must be put in place by the alcoholic or the structure fails
family tries to cover up to shield the alcoholic from the conseshyquences of the drinking If the alcoholic continues to be in conshytrol it is because the family does not know how to respond to this situation
Love fades Compassion canshynot exist Resentment fear and even hatred take its place
The only way love can be kept alive is for family members to learn how not to suffer when drinking is in progress and to refuse to undo the consequences of the drinking The family needs patience and understanding of the illness but firmness as well in confronting the alcoholic and refusing to pay the price
As St Paul said Love is alshyways patient and kind ~
Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins but delights in truth
This same point of patience plus honesty is s~ressed in the
literature you sent particularly the pamphlet A Guide for the Family of the Alcoholic pubshylished by AI-Anon Family Group Headquarters Box 182 Madison Square Station New York NY 10159
No one can take the alcoholics place and stop the drinking for him or her Choices must be made and action taken by the alcoholic of his own free will if recovery is to last
The alcoholic controls the famshy
literature and the Serenity Prayshyermiddot central to AA and AI-Anon God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference
The family sometimes needs more assistance and counseling than the alcoholic The family needs to learn how to stop its unconscious support of drinking
ily especially the wife husband or mother in some frightening ways The alcoholic drinks reshypeatedly and the family screams cries pleads prays

WASHINGTON NC) - The US~ Military Vicariate based in New York since it was formed
bull is to be moved to the Washingshyton area a vicariate official said
A report on the planned move appeared in the Jan 28 issues of Army Times Navy Times and Air Force Times related civilianshyruri weekly magazines for US military personnel
After the reports were publishshy ed Msgr James Markham a vice chancellor of the vicariate conshyfirmed to Natio11al Catholic News Service that the move was being actively pianned although it was not yet officially anshynounced
All of the 31 military vicarishyates in the world are in their nashytions capital except ours he said
We are going to move It is the intention of the Holy See he said
He added that the specifics of the move are up in the air until Pope John Paul II names a new military vicar The vicarishyate has been under temporary_ administration since the Jast vicar Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York died in October 1983
Msgr Markham said the vicarishyate plans to embark on a fundshyraising project for contributions to finance the purchase or rental of chancery facilities in the Washington area Since its forshymation the vicariate has had use of New York archdiocesan facilities for its headquarters he said
The US Military Vicariate is in charge of Catholic chaplainshycies in the US armed forces It is bigger by population than any territorial diocese in the counshytry with responsibility for more than 2 mHlion Catholics These are chiefly military persqnnel and their families but patients of Veterans Administration hosshypitals and members of the US diplomatic corps abroad are also under the vicariates care
Cardinal Cooke like New York Cardinals Francis Spellshy
man and Patrick Hayes before him was both US military vicar and head of the New York Archdiocese When Archbishop John OConnor a former chief of N~vy chaplains and a former auxiliary bishop of the Military Vicariate was named archbishop of New York in January 1984 he was also named apostolic adshyministrator of the Military Vicarishyate
It was announced at that time however that a different milishytary vicar would eventually be named That ended apractice dating back to 1919 formalized by a Vatican decree in 1957 under which the archbishop of New York was also the US military vicar
The US government pays the salaries of chaplains but does not fund the vicariate offices
Msgr Markham said that half of the vicariates annual budget of about $125 million currently comes from funds of the Nashytional Conference of Catholic -Bishops while the other half
comes from contributions by Catholics in the military
The vicariate is in the third year of a five-year transition
from complete funding by the NCCB to complete funding from the contributions of the Cathshydlics it serves he said
China refuses Mother Teresa
ROME(NC) - Chinese offishycials have not granted Mother Teresa of Calcutta permission to establish her order the Missionshyaries of Charity inmiddot China acshycording to Italian press reports
The press reports from Peking quoted a spokesman for the Nashytional Association of Patriotic Catholics and an official of the Religious Affairs Ministry as sayshying that Mother Teresa made the request during her visit to China Jan 20-22
The authorities explained to her that the- social system in China is different than that of other countries and as a result poor and homeless people are rare a spokesman for the pashytriotic association was quoted as saying
The patriotic association is a government-approved church without ties to the Vatican
Just as Bad Incessant company is as bad
as solitary confinement Virginia Woolf
Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference

The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

Its a matter of life and death By Antoinette Bosco
New York Gov Mario Cuomo recently set up a commission to study some of the moral and ethical issues surfacing as techshynology gallops ahead into areas that have to do with life and death
He is right to do so As we become powerful enough to make decisions about how life will begin and how to sustain it artificially when the end ape proaches we ought to know why were making the choices we are
Having sat in on many comshymissions and study groups I have some sense of how the arshyguments will go Points will be raised tangents dismissed sources quoted and probably some fine insights placed on the table
This is a necessary and imporshytant process But while the deshycisionmaking process goes on so will the reality people are near death and loved ones have to decide whether to keep them alive by machine couples agonshyize over their inaibHity to conshyceive a child and look to a Jaborashytory for help
People will be in the here-andshynow situation demanding that they act that they make a deshycision which can at best be calIed moralIy ambiguous
As a nurse put itmiddot recently How do you deal with an order attached to an apparently dying patients chart which says Do not resuscitate
In some medical circles do not resuscitate is used so freshyquently that -it is referred to by its acronym ONR Furthermore in some cases the patient has not given a clear consent to this order
A recent MacNeil-Lerhermiddot TV newscast discussed this issue A speaker concerned with the esmiddot calation of DNR orders made an important point A patient after resuscitation may live only a few days or a week but if that person wants that extra time of life he or she has the right to have it
This issue hits close to home for me A few days after Christshymas my nieces boy friends father suffered a heart attack Bill and Joanne stayed alI night at the hospital and it was Bill who was given the responsibility of making a fateful decision shyto pull or not to pull the plug of the machine keeping his father alive
In that hour of crisis all he had on his mind was - did this really happen Did his vigorous 70-year-old father just back from a cruise realy have a heart attack Was that him in a coma possibly dead dependent on a machine
He told me that its fine in theory to say youd give pershymission to pull the plug if a loved one apparently was unable to live pn his or her own But when youre looking at a person you lov~ youre only praying for that life to continue
Bill refused to have that plug pulled or to authorize any do
not resuscitate orders He held to the hope that his father was strong enough to come back on his own
The most powerful issues we will ever deal with are life and death - and the love that makes sense of both Technology is enmiddot tering that arena for good or ill and the new ethics must be explored not as an academic exercise but as a very human one
The discoveries of commissions ike Gov Cuomos will be the support base for the BiBs who are there facing the person the plug and the dilemma
Laicization request delayed
NC News Service
Father IEdgard Parrales Nicamiddot raguas ambassador to the Ormiddot ganization of American States said Jan 22 that he has made efforts since 1983 to be laicized but that a decision on his reo quest has been delayed indefinshyjely
Father Parrales made a public statement in Managua Nicaramiddot gua after finding out the deshycision on his laicization had been put off without any clarificashytion of for how Jong or whether there were additional procedushyral requirements to be fulfilled
Father Parrales and three other priests holding government posts in Nicaragua had been under pressure from the Vatican and the Nicaraguan bishops to resign from their government posts or face sanctions from the church Church officials cited canon law forbidding priests from holding office involving the exercise of civil power
Father Parrales and the other three priests accepted their posts in the Marxist-influenced Sandinmiddot ista government saying there were not enough trained Jay people to fill their jobs The bishshyops initially allowed the priests to hold their offices until they could train Jay people for the jobs
Last summer the Nicaraguan bishops set an Aug 31 deadline for the priests to leave their goyernment posts or face sancshytions In September the pope also said if they did not leave their posts they would face sanctions
In November newly elected Nicaraguan President Daniel Orshyttga announced the four priests would remain in their jobs
1n December Nicaraguas edushycation minister Father Fernando Cardenal was dismissed from the Society of Jesus which said his government job was inshycompatible with his status as a Jesuit
On Jan 10 Father Cardenal and the other two priests shyFather Ernesto ~ardenal culture minister and Maryknoll Father Miguel OEscoto foreign minister - were barred from performshying their priestly ministries acshycording to Bishop Pablo Antonio Vega head of the Nicaraguan bishops conference
WITH FLOWERS BALLOONS and the presence of (left) Msgr Luiz G Mendonca diocesan vicar genshyeral and pastor of Our Lady of Mt Carmel parish New Bedford and Bishop Florentino A Silva from the Alshygarve province of Portugal Dorothean Sister Margaret Walsh celebrated her 90th birthday last Jan 12
The observance included Mass in Our Lady of Mt Carmel convent chapel concelebrated by Bishop Silva and Msgr Mendonca
Born in Providence Sister Margaret entered the Dorothean community in 1912 at age 17 She served in England Portugal and Belgium before coming to Our Lady of Mt Carmel 39 years ago where she taught third grade until her retirement in 1965

This is especially needed in Maracaibo because it is undershygoing great human and professmiddot ional transformations brought by the discovery of oil he added
In the jungle boom town of Ciudad Guayana which has deshyveloped into an industrial center in the past 23 years the pope issued a ringing defense of workers rights He also spoke of the need to keep techndlogy within moral bounds that defend human dignity
At a meeting with priests and religious the pontiff said the clergy should be visible signs of the nations spiritual renewal and should fight the tendency to measure social well-being by the possession of material goods
Arriving in Ecuador Jan 29 the pope was greeted by cheershying people often 12 deep who Iined iboth Sides of the six-mile motorcade route that brought him to Quitos cathedral from the military airport at which he landed
It was the first papal visit to Ecuador and the pope said he came to mark the 450th annishyversary of the arrival of the first Catholic missionaries in the area During an evening meeting with bishops and clergy he said Cathshyolics should commit themselves to a just society
He praised the efforts of bishshyops and priests saying that their service has been a real testimony to the preferential opshytion for the poor
He also praised small comshymunities such as the basic Chrisshytian communities and other
apostolic lay movements Priests were urged to pay
more attention to the needs of Ecuadors Indians
You should learn the langshyuages necessary for your formashytion and your pastoral ministry such as the language of the Inshydians the pope said ~
Today the pope is scheduled to leave Ecuador at 415 pm Eastern time for Lima Peru He
will visit various areas of the country and leave Peru Tuesday Feb 5 for a six and a half hour stay in Trinidad and Tobago
Leaving the -tiny nation at 10 pm he is expected to Rome at 715 am Feb 6

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

Scientists at Vatican doubt feasibility of space weapons VATICAN CITY (NC) ~ Scientshy
ists from the United Stated and the Soviet Union expressed doubts about the feasibility of space-based weapons systems during a four-day conference at the Vatican the presishydent of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences said Jan 25
About 30 international experts reached consensusabout the techshynical aspects of such weamiddotpons and have endorsed a report that will be sent to Pope John Paul II Carlos Chagas said at a Vatican press conshyference He said he did not kno~ whether the report would be middotmade public
Chagas said that neither the academy-sponsored conference nor the report touched on moral or politshyical issues raised by use df weapons in space
Themeeting was limited to a t~chnical discussion of possibilities he said somiddot that the acmiddotademy woufq not be seen
as interfering in US ~Soviet arms negotiations
Chagas said that some conference participants dou~ted whether a space-based defensive weapons sysshytem such as proposed by President Reagan could work The Reagan proposal popularly known as the StarmiddotWars system is und~r study in the United States and has been sharply criticized by the Soviet Union as an incitement to the arms race
The conference report Chagas said represented a consensus on the entire complexity of the technoshy
logical issues involved including current capabilities cost and potenshytial efficiency of suchsystem
Pope John Paul met Jan 24 with conference participants His remarks were not made public
Chagas explained that the delicate timing of the conference determined that moral and political aspects of the issue be excluded from the agenda An October meeting on the use of outer space at the academy prompted a report that recomshymended treaties to prohibit the milshyitarization of space The report was released by the Vatican Jan 23
Asked why such a politicalrecomshymendation was made four months earlier but was not discussed in tJJe January meeting Chagassaid At that time the Gereva talks had nqt yet beglln
While useful- technological progress could grow out ora Star Wars system he ~aid such benefits
could be obtained otherwise Its not necessary to have this fantastic project to have these new technolo~ gies he said
Chagas also said th~t such a sysshytem might take 15 years to develop and our world cant wait that long for a solution to the nlicIear arms problem And I dont believe that such a system will have a real effishyciency he added
Father Theodore Hesburgh presshyident of the University of Notre Dame participated in the first day of the conference He told National Catholic News Service that most of
the scientists were against placing weapons in space and had doubts about the Star Wars proposal
Almost everybody said its unworkable today costly and costshyinefficient he said
Father Hesburgh said he told the group that we ought to make space out of bounds for military activity He said he thought he expressed a consensus of the group
On a theoretic level the id~a of a defensive weapons system based in space appealed to some of the scientshyists Chagas said For example Giampietro Puppi a Bologna scientshyist who participated in the meeting
said in an interview with the Vatican
newspaper LOs~ervatore Romano Jan 24 that Reagans proposal aims at killing weapons not people
As an idea he said it is cershytainly good and morally sound
In the same article however another participant Vittorio Canuto said themiddot proposal could result in further arms escalation Canuto who coordinated the October meeting on uses of space at the academy added that the probshylem involved not only technical aspects but also the psychological motivations of the two superpowers

What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo

THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless

GO INSANE Two kinds of people In this world Winners loseis I lost my power in this world Cause I did not use it (Chorus) So I go Insane Like I always do And I call your name Shes a lot like you Twoklnds of trouble In this world Living dying I lost my power In this world And the rumors Bre flying
Yes I go Insane Like I always do And I can your name Shes a lot like you Shes a lot like you Shes- Ii lof like y~ Go go go Golng insane Gogogo Going Insane Go gogo
WrItten and s~g by Lindsey Buckingham (c) 1984

THERE ARE two kinds of in this world causeI did not People in this world winners use it losers in the words of Lindsey Winners are not afraid to use and acknowledge the goodness Buckinghams new release Go their gifts anamp powers Loser~ and abilities that we possess we Insane While the song does often hold back wishing that put ourselves on a winning path not make much sense his they were different 0r possessed in life thoughts on winning and losing additional abilities They forget are worth noting to use the talents they have Your comments are always
What does it take to be a Winners like and accept them- welcome Address Charlie Marshywinner One hint is found in the selves They can recognize that tin 1218 S Rotherwood Ave songs words I)05t my power they are not always the most Evansville Ind 47714
athletic the best looking or the smartest people in their class They accept the fact that every person cannot have these gifts They also realize that such gifts are not the only ones leading to success Winners acknowledge and use the abilities skills and gifts they possess
Winners believe in themselves Consequently they set goals and try new experiences Of course they sometimes fail to reach their goals or do poorly in the new experiences that they attempt
But winners learn from their mistakes Whatever the circummiddot stances or outcomes of their enmiddot deavors they draw upon their inner resources and approach the future with hope
Buckingham states that there are two kinds of trouble in this world living dying iNo doubt our lives contain moments of each times when we feel really alive and times when all life seems drained out of us
Winners do nOt give up on life or what they believe they can give to me Even though winners can face depressed and down times moments when they feel like an empty shell of what they want to be they remember to look inward and find strength They continue being open to life with its dying and painful exshy
periencesWill you be a winner or loser
Ultimately each of us must make a choice God gave us the power to be winners When we stop comparing ourselves to others

Just b~ a relaxed fri~nd Easy does it
Perhaps you can have him over to your house a bit more often - for supper or for studyshying or for just watching TV
If you see signs of him wantshying to escape the pain through the use of marijuana or alcohol point out that drugs do not pro vide a realistic escape They are much more Hkely in the long run to create stiH more pain and trouble than he has now
A better way to provide re- lease from the tension and pain is physical exercise whether its just shooting some baskets or taking a long long walk with him
If your fri~nd chooses to talk about his parents listen sympashytheticaJJy iff youre unsure of how to respond you might say things like It must be very hard for you or That would be tough to take
Better not talk about how your parents resolve their conmiddot flicts That might sOJnd like youre bragging about hOw good your parents marriage is If your friend does press you for such information tell him about your parents simply and in a matter-of-fact way He might find this useful years from now when hes married
When the divorce is final dont suddenly cool down on your friend He may need you more than ever when one of his parents Hves away from him

Loving care By Cecilia Belanger
Loving care is a wide-ranging theme the bottom line of Chrisshytianity
caring has many definitions to love to like to look after provide for ~ it means to proshytect to have solicitude for to be concerned for someones welshyfare Who are we describing Is it not the one who cared first Yet words can never fully deshyscribe the depth of Gods love We can only look at the cross and hope we have some inkling
In Ephesians-we read Be ye therefore followers of God as
most dear children To follow God is to catch a
spark of the spirit of the Father This is the great end of our exshyistence to live as Jesus lived as closely as humanly possible We know we can never attain such perfection but our human pershyfection lies in our aim
Gods love communicates itshyself to us daily - pieces of himshyself are there for us to recogshynize to touch and to feel It lies in our concern for one anshyother in nature in the heavens We should not just glance at these things - we should take them seriously We should refleCt on what they mean on who we are and on where we are going
hi the last few years we have discovered a greatmiddot deal about personhood in our society But theres still a long way to go
Much work has been done in such things as improving our ability to listen to people really trying to hear what they are reshyvealing )Jnder their words Cries of help are more often listened to and not ignored A greater need for sensitivity has been realized for we have becQme aware of how very complex we are and of how things are not
always what they seem on the surface
We are learning more about what people go through when they face death and periods of mourning We are learning through the Holy Spirit how to deal with personal conflicts withshyin ourselves and with others There are many signs that we are looking more carefully at the faces of our brothers and sisters and b~coming more aware of each others needs gifts and depths
We can enjoy Earth only if we do see one another as children of God all together in a reproshycal caring relationship This is how God becomes real to us and what gives Jesus suffering such meaning He Ibonded us together and wherever we are wherever we go we are bonded in him
Just as God brought harmony into the creation so he wishes us to bring harmony into the world to e~ase divisions to break down barriers to quiet the I strident voices heard across the land People are thirsting for the Good News not bad news
There isnt a vice or an evil that cannot be swallowed up by love Love does conquer and trishyumph There is this great mysshytery this unfathomable depth in human love
We see the soul bursting its limits when we see acts of cour age of unselfishness of great sacrifi~e of giving ones life for another The gospels contain our Chrisshytian roots Tlle face they show us is THE face rising nobly majestically and magnificently out of the pages a face that deshyspite rejection looked with lovshying eyes on humanity
This is the unshakable love we see~ to give and to receive This is what proves to lis that the world is not meaningless
