U.S. pastoralon women

topic ofVatican

consultationVATICAN CITY (CNS) - The"

Vatican-sponsored consultationon the· U.S. bishops' pastoral onwomen can help the bishops makethe church's teaching more under­standable without "betraying" theChristian message, said the Vati­can secretary of state, ArchbishopAngelo Sodano.

The arch bishop opened thisweek's two-day meeting of 18 bish­ops, five Vatican officials and twowomen observers to discuss thesecond draft of the proposedpastoral.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, pre­fect of the Congregation for theDoctrine ofthe Faith, and Archbi­shop Daniel E. Pilarczyk of Cin­cinnati, president of the U.S.bishops' conference, also madeopening remarks. Archbishop Sod­ano's was the only text releasedTuesday, the first day.

The second draft of the pro­posed pastoral letter focused onthe dignity and equality of womenand urged that all church positionsnot requiring ordination be opento them. .

. It stressed the sinfulness of sex­ism and all forms of discrimina­tion against women both in thechurch and in society.

Archbishop Sodano told theparticipants, "We set our minds onstudying the most effective way toannounce Catholic doctrine on therole of women in the church and inthe society of our time,'~

While what the pastoral finallysays is up to the U.S. bishops, "wecan offer them important elementsof judgment, so they can presentthe Catholic doctrine on the mis­sion of women in a way moreunderstandable to modern mental­ity without, however, betrayinganything of the integrity and orig­inality of the Christian message."

He told the participants, who ­came from 13 countries, that "weall know that the church of Christis neither European, nor African,nor Asian, nor Aftlerican. It is the'catholic' church by definition."

While the Gospel is identicalthroughout the world, Arch­bishop Sodano said, "the bishopsmust strive to find the best way tomake it understood by men andwomen oftheir own time and their·own place."

He said "it is legitimate tounderline" one aspect or anotherof the church's teaching in a par­ticular time or under certain cir­cumstances, but one can "neverforget the whole, as in a sym­.phony,"

a long-term victory we can't tellyet."

Marshall, who was a congres­sional aide when the Title X pro­gram was initially approved by theHouse in 1970, said it was clear atthat time that Congress did notintend Title X funds to be used forabortion counseling.

He described the decision aspart of a continuing movement bycourts to "divest themselves of thefinal sign-off' on the abortion issuein favor of seeing it settled in statelegislatures or the U.S. Congress..

Mark E. Chopko, USCC generalcounsel, said the conference agreedwith the high court ruling thatTitle X regulations did not uncon­stitutionally restrain "legitimateliberties."

"The rules only made clear thatTurn to Page II

Ms. Alvare commented in Tem­pe, Ariz., where she was address­ing a workshop at the annual Cath­olic Press Association convention.

In a separate statement issuedby her Washington office, Ms.Alvare said she was "very pleased"with the decision.

"There is a major differencebetween planning a family anddestroying a developing memberof the family," she said. "Thecourt's decision simply allows fed­~ral funding policies to continue torespect that difference."

Robert Marshall, director of re­search for the American LifeLeague of Stafford, Va., said thedecision was "clearly a victory forpro-life" but "whether there will be

The 5-4 decision in Rust vs. Sul­livan upheld regulations banningabortion counseling in the govern­ment's Title X family planningprogram, saying the rules do notviolate free-speech rights or awoman's right to an abortion.

Guidelines planned~for MedjugorjeVATICAN CITY (eNS)

Yugoslavian bishops are prepar­ing liturgical and pastoral guide­lines for visitors to Medjugorje,the controversial site of allegedMarian apparitions.

In a recent statement, thebishops also repeated their earlierjudgment: that there is as yet noconvincing evidence that super­natural apparitions or revelationsare occurring at Medjugorje.

Medjugorje supporters believethat Mary has been appearingdaily since 1981 to young people inthe Yugoslavian village. Otherchurch officials, including ,thelocal bishop, are skeptical andhave tried to curb pilgrimages.

The Bishop's statement, issuedat the close of a three-day nationalmeeting, was reported by VaticanRadio. Last fall, after hearing areport from a nationw'ide commis­sion investigating Medjugorje, thebishops forwarded a similar decla­ration to the Vatican, but it wasnever officially published.

The bishops said the nationalcommission would continue to re­search events at the site. Mean­while, they said, the influx of well­motivated pilgrims requiresgreater pastoral attention.

Yugoslavian church sourceshave said the bishops' action isaimed at taking advantage of thespiritual fervor at Medjugorje,while more closely controllingwhat people are told and taughtthere.. The area has developed intoone of the world's most popularpilgrimage sites.

It's OK to be richCHICAGO (CNS) - Entre­

preneurs are undervalued and oftenunjustly maligned by church lead­ers, a Paulist priest told an organi­zation of Catholic business leaders.

Paulist Father Robert Sirico,president of the Acton Institute

, for the study of religion and libertyin Grand Rapids, Mich., spoke atthe 1991 Legatus three-day nationalconference, held recently in Chi­cago. Legatus was founded in 1987by Tom Monaghan, owner ofDomino's Pizza and the DetroitTigers. '

"Why is it that the best you peo­ple hear from religious leaders isthe only way you can redeemyourself is if you give me your

'money?" said Father Sirico.The priest, whose institute tries

to show the consistency betweenreligious values and the free enter­prise system, said he has heardfrom Catholics who left the churchbecause they said they were' con­demned for their ability to makemoney.

Father Sirico said church lead­ers do not understand -entrepre­neurs.

"There's a sheer lack of anycourses on economics in all theseminaries I'm acquainted with,;'he said. "That hasn't stopped themfrom pronouncing on economics.

"I'm not advocating the churcha<lopt an economic bottom-linementality," Father Sirico added."What I am saying [is that) beforereligious professionals pronounceon economic matters they [should)become informed."

I:.egatus, which means "ambas­sador" in Latin, was founded tosupport Catholic business leadersin living out their faith. Member­ship is limited to practicing Catho­lics who head companies with atleast 50 employees and $4 millionin annual sales.- Father Sirico said religious lead­

ers misunderstand the economicworld, seeing it as a pie to bedivided - bigger pieces for somemean smaller pieces for others.Entrepreneurs, on the other hand,work to increase wealth by offer­ing "something of value," he said.

Father Sirico said that to blamebusiness leaders for the existenceof poverty is "deadly because it'skilling the golden goose."

"The amelioration of povertycan only be achieved by the pro­duction of wealth," he said.

Father Sirico warned that busi­ness talents can be abused unlessaction is grounded in obedience toGod. Business leaders can be en­snared by "the original sin of thebright and beautiful angel whoforgot his dependency_on God."

a former city school building foruse as the parochial school.

Towards the end of Father Mar- .ciniak's 21-year pastorate, he razedthe old parish hall and in 1946completed building of a ne~ .cen­ter. Nor did he neglect the splrltualwelfare of his people, establishingmany organizations in. addition topreaching and administering thesacraments.

Father Marciniak was succeededby his former curate, Father An­selm Kwilos, during whose 13­year tenure the parish mortgagewas burned, three marble altarswere installed in the church andadditional land was acquired. Thenext pastor, serving from 1960until his untimely death in 1964during a parish celebration of his30th anniversary of ordination,was Father Vincent Wolski. Dur­ing his brief tenure, he had super­vised extensive renovations to theparish school, convent, church andrectory.

Father Wolski was followed byFall River native and former HolyCross parishioner Father FelicianPlichta, who supervised the parishcelebration of its golden anniver­sary Sept. 25, 1966. The festivitiesincluded a pontifical Mass cele­brated by the late Bishop James L.Connolly and ajubilee banquet atthe Dwelly Street Armory in FallRiver.

Now in 1991 the parish looksback on 25 more years as a com­munity. Highlights include the Feb.21, 1971 occasion of Bishop DanielA. Cronin's first pastoral visit toHoly Cross, where he celebratedMass and met parishioners at afollowing reception. Less joyously,the year was marked by the with­drawal from Holy Cross School ofthe Franciscan 'Slsters of St. Jo-.seph, who had served the parishchildren for 55 years. Subsequentlythe school and convent were de~

molished and in 1984 the schoolproperty was sold for constructionof housing for the elderly.

In 1972 the Holy Cross Men'sClub was founded; and in 1976Father Plichta was named pastorof Our Lady of Perpetual HelpChurch in New Bedford. Today heserves at Corpus Christi parish inSandwich.

Parish HistoryHoly Cross parish was founded

in 1916 at the request of Polishfamilies living in the Maplewood,Flint and Niagara sections of FallRiver, who found it difficult toattend St. Stanislaus Church, thenthe only Polish church in the city.

In the early years of the parish,members attended services at near­by SS. Peter and Paul Church, forthe most part with Polish priests astheir spiritual shepherds, but forthe two-year period from 1920 to1922 with direction from FatherThomas Kelly, then SS. Peter andPaul pastor.

In 1922, then Bishop Daniel F.Feehan requested the ConventualFranciscan Fathers to take overthe care of Holy Cross; and FatherCasimir Cwiklinski was appointedto lay the groundwork for a per­manent parish structure. He wasfollowed by Father Peter Hajna,OFM Conv., who became the con­gregation's first pastor.

During his time in Fall River,Father Hajna developed portableschools and supervised construc­tion of a convent. He Was followedas . pastor by Fathers SylvesterParzych, Raymond Marciniec,

The publication "loudly' andclearly sounds a warning alert tothe recent calls by some analystsand policy makers for ... explicitsystemic programs of health carerationing by governmental agen­cies,"· wrote Auxiliary BishopJoseph M. Sullivan of Brooklyn,N.Y., chairman of the CHA.

"These proposals, because theyrepresent a new watershed in pub­lic policy, impel us to recommendthe ethical criteria and invite allpeople of good faith to use them inmeasuring the moral content of

. this important public policyissue," Bishop Sullivan c~mtinued.

The eight principles start with abasic ques~ion of.whether ther~ is ademonstrable need to withholdavailable medical treatment. "Ifyou can't get,beyond that, ration­ing shouldn't be done,.. said Bresch.

The 'other principles addresshealth care' as common good forsociety; provision of basic care forall; rationing standards that applyequally to all; open discussion ofthe 'process; protection for disad­vantaged people; freedom fromdiscrimination in the process; andmonitoring of the outcome.

The family budget does notallow them to do more than one.

"There is no doubt there isrationing going on in the presentsystem," Bresch said. "And toooften it is unjust."

Oregon will become the firststate to consciously set out toration health care. In an effort toput basic medical treatment inreach of all its residents, three lawswere passed in 1989, but still areawaiting federal authorization .ofthe programs before they can takeeffect. Legislators and administra­tors in .the other 49 states and atthe federal level will watch Oreg­on's effo'rts closely, for keys tohow they may also guarantee med­ical care for all without goingbankrupt in the process.

Spurred in part .. by Oregon'sefforts, a CHA panel representingtheologians, physicians, adminis­trators, ethicists and researchers,among others, set out to establisha common definition for rationingin health care and to set an ethicalframework for any discussions ofhow to implement it.

"We don't take a stand for oragainst rationing itself," Breschexplained. "But if there's going tobe any rationing then there are eth­ical considerations to bring up."

"Growing numbers of Ameri­cans experience health care ration­ing based on their inability to pay,

WASHINGTON (CNS) - Asmedical costs soar and health careslips out of reach of more Ameri­cans, policymakers are acknowl­edging that a system of rationingmedical resources may be needed.

Meanwhile, some argue thatrationing already takes place,through restrictions on access toMedicaid, high price tags for pro­cedures, inaccessible insurance andeven changes in locations or servi­ces offered at medical centers.

The Catholic Health Associa­tion has taken the lead in trying toprovide a basis for making deci­sions about rationing health carewith a publication due for distri­bution starting in June. The organ­ization represents about 1,200 Cath­olic medical institutions, relatedoffices and individuals.

themoorin~A Good Faith Example

Various'elements of the church in America too often spendtheir energies on seeking acceptance ina liberal secular society.But in trying to be "relevant" to the upwardly mobile, they arein danger of losing a true sense of what it means to be aCatholic.

In fact, many such people have developed tunnel vision withregard to whatever their own causes may be. As a result, thebroader vision of church has little impact on their lives.

The recent activities of the church in Russia would, forinstance, be of little interest to those of this mind-set. But inactuality, what is going on in this vast area ofthe world shouldmake all in the church realize the power of the Spirit toovercome all "isms." The recent restoration ofthe Latin Rite inparts of the Soviet Union is a major historical event, albeitrecognized as such by few American Catholics..

Most of us, indeed, were unaware that there were Latin RiteCatholics in the Soviet Union, assuming that Roman Catholi­cism had been eradicated by Communism and that the RussianOrthodox was the only active church.

It is true, of course, that 70 years of official atheism, includ­ing periods of intense persecution, have changed religiousboundaries. This is especially true in regard to Siberia where,due to uncounted deportations, many Latin Rite Catholics livein areas where previously there were none.

In order to provide them and others with pastoral care, thepope has named the first resident bishop of Moscow in 55years, has created new dioceses in Byelorussia, where alonethere are 1.5 million Catholics, and has named bishops for newapostolic administrations in Siberia and Kazakhstan.

All this is but the beginning of Church activity in the Soviet.republics. Contacts already established in the nation havedisclosed the surprising vitality of Latin Rite Catholic com­munities, many composed of Poles, Germans and Lithuaniansnow legally recognized by virtue of the 1991 passage by theSoviet Union of a freedom of conscience law. I

The papal initiatives have provided Latin Rite Catholics inthe USSR with the church structure necessary to foster anddevelop religious practice and' have also sought to give themleaders qualified to conduct ecumenical dialogues with theRussian Orthodox Church.

These actions by the pope may well qualify as among themost important of his pontificate. Provision of the sacramentsto millions previously unable to practice their faith openly hasimplications that may change Russia.

It is to be hoped that these events may also change thearrogant attitude of the many American Catholics who havedrifted from the Church. What is sad is that many of thesereligious yuppies owe their excellent educations to a self­sacrificing church which has and does suffer in fulfilling itsmission to teach as Jesus did.

Relevance seems to have become the new Gospel for manywho really don't want to hear the Good News of salvation.Casting the baby out with the bath water, it's the old story or'not realizing what you're doing.

May we hope that the prayers and example of our brothersand sisters in Russia will bring many here back to the Church.

OMary, Mother of theChurch and my Mother,teach me to live, throughthe liturgy and the sacra­ments, in ever more inti­mate union with the threedivine Persons, so that mywhole life may be a "glorybe to the Father, to the Sonand to the Holy Spirit."Amen.

they faithfully adhered to the con­venant's conditions, they wouldhave a better life.

The author of Hebrews was veryfamiliar with this concept. Blood'slife-giving aspect is certainly behindhis belief that".. .If the blood ofgoats and bulls. . .can sanctifythose who are defiled so that theirflesh is cleansed, how much morewill the blood of Christ, whothrough the eternal spirit offeredhimself up unblemished to God,cleanse our consciences from deadworks to worship the living God!"

No blood is more life-givingthan Jeslls'. If we join ourselves tothe blood of someone who rosefrom the dead, we also will liveforever.

Yet this is not some simplistic,magic formula for salvation.Receiving the Lord's blood willonly bring us life if we enter intohis covenant.

After recounting Jesus' LastSupper words over the bread,Mark tells us, "He likewise took acup, gave thanks and passed it tothem, and they all drank from it.Hesaid to them: 'This is my blood,the blood of the covenant, to bepoured out on behalf of many.. .'''

Jesus seems to be saying thatthough he gives his blood for all,all will not benefit from his gener­ous action. Only those who see theimportance of this event, and will­ingly join their minds and heartscompletely to the Lord will attainthe life he attains.

Certainly by receiving Jesus'body we show our oneness withhim and all Qthers who comprisethe Body of Christ. We alsoacknowledge the strength whichcomes from such reception; strengthwhich is essential for carrying Onthe Lord's will in everything wedo.

But taking the cup adds a deeperdimension; something which Jesusand his disciples thought essentialto their faith. When we receive hisblood we are publicly proclaimingthat we have made a covenant withhim and are already experiencingthe new life which comes from thisagreement.

simply called "Corpus Christi"(Body of Christ). The change to"The Body and Blood of Christ" is 'an attempt to return to our biblicalroots.

For centuries we ignored theimportance of Jesus' blood. Be­cause the faithful received theEucharist under the species ofbread only, we emphasized, theol­ogized, homilized and sang aboutthe Lord's body. His blood waspushed into the background. Eventoday, most Catholics still pass bythe cup during the Lord's Supper.Lurking in the back of our mindsis an idea that receiving underboth species is "for extra credit."Why risk the germs? The body issufficient.

It is essential to see why, from abiblical view, Jesus had to give usboth his body and his blood.

Our first reading shows the sig­nificance of blood for our ances­tors in the faith. During the cov­enant making ceremony on Mt.Sinai, " ...Moses took half of theblood [of the sacrificed animals]and put it in large bowls; the otherhalf he splashed on the altar. Tak­ing the book of the covenant, heread it aloud to the people, whoanswered, 'All that Yahweh hassaid, we will heed and do.' Then hetook the blood and sprinkled it onthe people;' saying, 'This is theblood of the covenant which Yah­weh has made with you in accor­dance with all these words of his.'"

Because ancient people saw thatliving creatures quickly died whentheir blood was drained, they logi­cally regarded this red stuff as thesource of life. It was not consi­dered gross or ghoulish, Instead ofsymbolizing death, blood symbol­ized life.

When we join this concept to the'belief that all treaties and coven­ants should bring a better life tothe parties involved, we see whyevery ancient treaty and covenant­making ceremony included bloodin its rituals. The blotches on thepeople's body and clothes weresymbolic of their commitment tokeep the terms of the agreement. If

Should churches be involved in child care? -.: \'

CURRAN

A group of church child careproviders I addressed last springwas one of the most encouragingand uplifting groupsI've met. Partof a national effort, The Ecumeni- ­cal Child Care Network, (475 Riv­erside Drive, Room 572, New York,NY 10115-0050; phone: (212) 870­3342), the group serves as a net­work for church-sponsored childcare programs and providers toshare ideas, resources, and support.

There are chapters all over thecountry, and I want to make read­ers who are interested in operatingchurch child care centers aware ofthis valuable resource - becauseit can be lonely out there.

I know I will hear from readerswho object to the church's involve­ment in child care because theydon't see it as a valid part of minis­try or because they feel it willfurther erode the presence ofmothers in the home. I recall apicketer outside one church childcare conference with a poster read­ing, "Would Mary have put Jesusin day care?"

There are good reasons for relig­ious day care centers. "Parentswant values for their children anda loving day care environment,"one director said. "Centers thatdemonstrate how faith strengthensconcern for children will always be

popular with many parents. Ob­viously, they're going to continueto turn to their churches whenthey're looking for help with theirchildren."

Maybe Mary wouldn't have putJesus in day care, but supposeJoseph hadn't believed a dreamtelling him to go ahead and marryher in spite of her strange preg­nancy. Suppose her family, inshame, sent her off to Elizabethwho didn't want to have anythingto do with her.

Suppose she found herself in anunfamiliar environment and solesupporter of her child. My guess isthat she would turn to her syn­agogue for help. And she would begrateful for the kind of lovingfaith-based child care that onlychurches can give.

Kathy Turley, head of the Colo­rado Interfaith Child Care Net-

work, says that churches and syn­agogues interested in outreachministries that help real familiesshould seriously consider childcare.

"I know day care for very youngchildren raises all kinds of toughissues and many churches are scaredto get involved. But this issue isn'tgoing to go away. It's time forchurches and synagogues to honor,respect and assist young parents intheir decisions On ch!ld care."

She added, "Isn't that a validrole for churches? Can't we thinkof that as a ministry?"

Yes, if we truly believe that relig­ious values and traditions begin inthe early formative ages. Who isbetter equipped to offer them thanchurches? If children are cared forby the kinds of people I met, peo­ple with a deep love for both Godand children, people who are will­ing to work for lower wages be-

cause they have a high sense ofcalling and commitment, it couldbe one of the most effective formsof catechetical and family minis­tries we offer.

Some church day care programshave been in existence for 30 yearsand are reaching second genera­tion families. Others experiencesome difficulty in expectations."The key is to be upfront," saidone director. "Parents can't thinkyou're a social services center, whilech,,!rch leaders think you're thereto baptize all the babies and makethem good Presbyterians, or what­ever."

If the dedicated and faith-basedteachers I met are any indicationofthe quality of church-based daycare, I wouldn't hesitate to enrollmy children even if I were at home.It would give them a better start infaith life than I was able to givethem when they were toddlers.

Tracing the origins of the word "Jew"By

FATHER

JOHN J.

DIETZEN

Q. The word "Jew" never ·ap­peared in the ~riginallanguagesofthe Bible; Hebrew and Greek. Itfirst appears as a mistranslation ofthe Catholic Vulgate Bible in the18th century. Before that, the wordwas never in the Bible.

The question is, what word didthe aposties use? The word in the

Latin Vulgate is "Judaeus," andany scholar knows that wordshould be translated Judahite,applying to anyone from the tribeof Judah. It has no religious con­notations. (New York)

A. The above letter reflectssome of the "facts" being dissemi­nated in certain Catholic circles.They generally involve the signifi­cance of the word "Jew," andits meaning in modern Bibles. Itmay be helpful to clarify a fewpoints.

Our word Jew comes, through anumber of language chal)ges, fromthe Hebrew "yehoudi," which be­came Greek "Ioudaios" and Latin"Jud~ios." These all refer back' toJudah, one of the 12 biblical sons

of Jacob (Israel) and patriarch ofone of the "tribes of Israe\'''

The disciples of Jesus in biblicaltimes would have normally usedan Aramaic (Hebrew dialect) formof that name.

The Bible calls the Hebrew peo­ple by many names: "Men ofJudah" (Is. 5:3), or simply "Judah"(Is. 9:21); "Israel" or the "house ofIsrael," Zion, Jerusalem.

Whatever the designation, thename usually referred to both theethnic and religious bonds whichjoined them. This was especiallytrue in the late centuries just beforeChrist. The books of Maccabeesprovide numerous examples.

That this twofold meaning stoodbehind the term "Judaeos" in the

.Gospels is clear for several rea­sons. Where the synoptic Gospels,for example, designate phariseesand scribes as the religious ene­mies ofJesus, John simply uses theword "Jews."

Also, he several times speaks ofthe Jewish followers of Jesus asbeing afraid of "the Jews."

Jesus was unquestionably a Jewofthis ethnic and religious "peopleof Judah." .

We find the word Jew in EnglishBibles long before the 18th cen­tury. It appears numerous times asthe translation of the Latin "Ju- .daeus" in the Cat~olic Douai­Rheims translation of the NewTe~tament (l5~2) and Old Testa­ment (1609), as well as in;the Prot-.

estant Authorized (King James)Version in 1610.

Shakespeare, of course, writingduring the same period, used theEnglish term "Jew."· Part of thepeople's familiarity with it resultedfrom their acquaintance with theeven earlier English Bible transla­tions (Tyndale, the Geneva Bible C

and others) utilized by the 54 schol­ars who produced the King.Jamesversion.

A lternative wayDear Editor:

I commend you on your cover­age of conscientious objection inthe May 3, 1991 edition of TheAnchor. In this day of media glori­fication of violence and war it isimportant from the moral point ofview to present to our young peo­ple an alternative way of dealingwith problems.

All too often topics such as con­scientious objection are not dealtwith in schools, on television, or inother forms of media. Young menand women do not realize thatthey do not have to blindly followthe leader when they realize that .war is wrong and that there areother means to solving conflictsbesides killing and war. It is goodto read that some people are cour­ageous enough to pursue alterna­tives.

Dear Editor:As a layman, I was concerned

with the banning of our Lt. Gov­ernor from speaking at the CatholicHigh School in Hudson. CardinalLaw, the head of our archdiocese,was within his rights in taking thisaction. The Lt. Governor has al­ways been in the "pro-choice"group which uses the old clichethat. "personally I am againstabortion, but my votes and poli­cies have always been to allowwomen to have pro-choice."

This stance has always beenheld untenable by Catholic lead­ers, and rightfully so. The positionof the Catholic bishops to that

.effect was made known publicly atthe time the Governor of NewYork expressed similar views asthe Lt....Governor.

I believe that our Lt. Governor,a Catholic, ought to choose, evenat the cost of votes, not to confinehimself to a series ofdouble-mindedclaimers and disclaimers on moralpolitical issues like abortion thatconcern the personal, family, andcommon good of all citizens. No,Mr. Lt. Governor, the Church is

• not intolerant! Cardinal Law's de­cision was fair and just!

Mother Celine's excellent edu­cation and knowledge of lang­uages assisted her in establishinghomes of the congregation simul­taneously in various countries.The Sisters' first apostolate was aschool for girls in Rome wherethey conducted workshops anddiscussions for women, hoping toraise their status in that society.

During the same year, their firstfoundation was established inKety, Poland, and a novitiate wasopened a year later. It is there inKety that the bodies of Mother

The first arrival of ResurrectionSisters in the United Statesoccurred on February 2, 1900,when four sisters accepted theinvitation ofthe newly founded St.Mary of the Angels parish in Chi­cago to teach imigrants in the par­ish school.

If you watched the diocesan tel-'evision Mass on May II, you wit­nessed an event in preparation for100 years: the celebration of thecentennial of the Sisters of theResurrection.

In the Fall River diocese, inaddition to operating St. SaviourDay Nursery in New Bedford since1962, the sisters have been sacris­tans for the television Mass since itbegan in September, 1963. It wastherefore appropriate for theircentennial festivities to include anon-air Mass.

As a comn'1unity of Polish ori­gin, it was also appropriate thattheir Mass should be celebrated byFather Roman Chwaliszewski,OFM Conv., pastor of New Bed­ford's Polish parish, Our Lady ofPerpetual Help.

The congregation included near­ly all of the 30 three and four-yearolds at the day nursery, their par­ents, former nursery students,friends of the community and sis­ters from other parts of the easternU.S. province of the Sisters of theResurrection.

Sister M. Krystyna Kobielus,superior of the New Bedford con­vent, said that three of the sisterswho founded St. Saviour's in 1962are still in New Bedford. They areSister Rose Konopienis, now 96and the oldest member of the con­gregation; Sister Leandra Jankow­ski, who has been a TV Masssacristan since "day one"; and Sis'­ter Casimira Wolejko.

Also residing in the convent areSisters M. Bertha Krzysko, JaneRose Urbanski and Jane ThereseHulak.

Sister Faith, in turn, praises the, Feehan faculty and staff for mak­ing her years at the school mean­ingful.

"We have always had a dedi­cated, committed faculty. You findfaculty members here above andbeyond the call ofduty: on week­ends, for special events; you'veheard the saying - it's not just ajob, it's a vocation for them."

As she leaves, Sister Faith ex­presses confidence that "Feehan isin good hands with outstandingpeople who've proven their love ofthe school."

As for her own future, she saysshe is considering a few offers shehas received for the end of. hersabbatical year.

Meanwhile, she muses, "I couldprobably write a book. I've oftensaid I would."

She adds cryptically, "I tell thekids it would become a bestsellerfor more reasons than one!"

TestimonialOn June 9 members of the Fee­

han community will gather at theVenus de Milo Restaurant inSwansea to honor the principal forher nearly three decades of faithfulservice.

Beginning with a reception andsocial hour at 6 p.m., followed bydinner at 7:30 p.m., the testimon­ial will feature speakers represent­ing faculty, alumni, parents andstudents.

Feehan development dire,ctorSister Evangela McAleer, RSM,will be mistress of ceremonies.

Information on the event isavailable by calling 226-7411 byJune I.

The testimonial will extol "adedicated and devoted religious, awoman ofdiscipline tempered withkindness and justice blended with

. compassion"; and will honor "oneamong us who has never soughthonor;" who "has given withoutcounting the cost," notes SisterBlute, Episcopal Representative forReligious of the diocese.

Guidance counselor and sched­uling director Alan Kazarian, aFeehan graduate, has worked withSister Faith for 15 years andknown her for 22.

"She's certainly going to bemissed," he said. "She is an out­standing educator and Christianperson. Her witness is exemplary.

"She works very hard to providea solid, well-rounded Christian ed-

can make Sister Faith a toughacademic taskmaster.

"She cares how we do in school- she pushes us to get on thehonor roll," said Jen Cocuzzo.

"She really cares about the schooland she really wants us to try,"added Mary Crowley.

Students will also tell you thatSister Faith's is a familiar face ateverything from sporting events tobanquets to arts programs.

With a student population ofonly 700 or 800, said Sister Faith,"You have the opportunity to getto know them. I try to attend asmany extracurricular activities asI can. It's important for the kids toknow you're present and inter-ested." ,

Her encouraging and suppor­tive attitude goes a long way withthe student body.

"I think she gets a real sense ofthe students," said Elizabeth Swee­ney. "She wants the best of us ­always pushes us to our limits. Ithink she's really great!"

Personally RewardingSister Faith counts as her most

personally rewarding experienceat Feehan "seeing the success theschool has been, the success ofindividual students."

And her interest in students doesnot end with their receipt of a Fee­han diploma.

It's something they may notrealize while still in high school,she said, "but later, in college orcareer, they look back and arethankful. They say to you, 'Maybeyou don't realize the great spirit ofthis school, what a great place thisis!' "

Actually Sister Faith has knownthat all along and it is not withoutmixed emotions that she will closeher perennially-open office doorfor good this spring.

However, she says, "Therecomes a time when a change inadministration is good."

Her plans to participate in "arenewal program, take refreshercourses, do a little traveling" are adefinite change from keeping pacewith teenagers.

"Here the days are very long,"she says. "We begin before 7; schoolcloses at 2, but that's when every­thing begins!" Some days, withactivities, "will go until 9:30 or10."

The switch to something "not so'demanding and time-consuming"will be a "difficult adjustment,"she admits. "It's going to be hardto leave. I love the school. I'veestablished friendships with thekids, the faculty, parents - whomI've found very supportive, veryinvolved, very interested in theirkids. I couldn't.-ask for ~ore.", ::.

mention the numerous alu~niwhohave returned to teach at theschool; who have donated theirtime and effort to activities; orhave enrolled their own~hildren.

"It says a lot for the school,"Sister Faith affirms.

And is it strange to see the chil­dren of former students roamingthe same corridors?

"Interesting!" Sister Faith replieswith an amused smile.

Success'Others would name an additional

important factor in Feehan's suc-'cess: the guiding hand of SisterMary Faith, who teaches by ex­ample respect for the individualand the importance of "gettinginvolved." ,

A history of the school com­piled by Sister Mary Noel Blute,RSM, notes that "Her influencefor good has been tremendous, herimpact on students and graduatesof this school is immeasurable."

That is because Sister Faith be­lieves iri each and everyone ofthem.

This is a principal for whomsuccess is measured not by curricu­lum, programs or citations, but byindividual achievements.

Whether her students are striv­ing in the classroom, on the play­ing field, in theater arts or gleeclub, Sister Faith is their most avidfan. .

"The most extraordinary thingI've observed in her," said seniorJonathan Ty, "is that she keeps apersonal interest in the students.You can catch her in the hall andtalk; she doesn't play favorites."

Says Sister Faith, "We do asmuch as we can for the individualstudent - and I'm not just talkingabout the high honors student. Wewant each student to becomeactually what he or she is po-tentially." ,

That means "staying on top ofeach student," making each newface feel welcome, so that whenstudents transfer in, "they feel theyare known," she says.

Just ask transfer student Eliza­beth Sweeney.

"She helped me a lot," said thejunior, explaning that she neededa letter of recommendation fromthe principal to play golf.

"It could have ended right there,"said Elizabeth, "but it didn't ­she's been very supportive."

"She lets you know where youstand with her,"'commented Jona­than. "She gives the same respectto every student. You can reallyfeel it when she's talking to you-she looks you right in the eye."

SISTER MARY FAITH HARDING

. By Marcie HickeyIt is a name that is virtually syn­

onymous with Bishop Feehan HighSchool.

But Sister Mary Faith Harding,RSM - principal, educator, role

.model, adviser, friend - a guidingforce at the Attleboro school since1964, will step down next weekwhen the academic year comes to aclose.

After 27 years, she says, "It'stime for a change."

She muses that her 17 years asprincipal, preceded by 10 as librar­ian and English teacher, have been"a drop in the bucket."

To say the least.The Fall River native, whose

accomplishments in. Catholic edu­cation earned her a 1991 CatholicElementary School DistinguishedGraduate Award from the NationalCatholic Educational Association,attended Fall River's SS. Peterand Paul School and the formerMt. St. Mary's Academy.

She entered the Sisters of Mercyin 1950 and had assignments inRhode Island Catholic schools be­fore coming to Feehan.

Now it is hard to imagine thehigh school without her.

"She's great, she's understand­ing - she's kind of a mother­figure," junior Mary Crowley char­acterized the principal.

"That's exactly what she is,"agreed senior Jen Cocuzzo. "Shekeeps you in line, but we can cometo her with anything. She's alwayswilling to give us an opportunity."

Sister Faith has been present atevery Feehan graduation, knowsevery student who has passedthrough its halls, has seen theschool grow from infancy into arespected and successful institution.

Under her leadership, Feehan'sacademic, extracurricular and spir­itual programs have prospered.

And when asked to reflect onher career, it is obvious SisterFaith has a classic case of schoolspirit.

"The school was very youngwhen I came here," she says, "andover the years I have witnessedsuccessful growth - the schoolhas had a very good reputation,has since the beginning gained agreat deal of respect from the dif­ferent communities [it serves], andhas seen expansion in all facets,"including the establishment of adevelopment program and thebroadening of the athletics andfine arts programs.

As of last .year, the principalcontinued, Feehan had completedevaluation for a 1O-year accredita­tion from the New England Asso­ciation ofSecondary Schools, withFeehan receiving "high marks"for both curriculum and extracur­ricular activities. '

"We also have something uni­que - a religious education cen­ter," she said, adding, "We alwaysemphasize the importance of ourreligious program."

Students take religion classes ineach of their years at Feehan; allclasses begin with a prayer; andwhen Masses or prayer servicesare held, Catholics and non-Catho- 'lics alike attend.

Sister Faith attributes theschool's success to such factors asthis Christian environment, as wellas a dedicated faculty, involvedstudents, and what she calls "sta­bility."

"Not just with myself as princi­pal," she says, "but with all thededicated laypeople and religious,some of whom have been herealmost as long as I have" - not to

Incapacitated pope wo-uld stymie churchVATICAN cn'y (CNS) - If a

pope becomes seriously ill it wouldbe administratively healthier forthe church ifhe died quickly ratherthan linger in a lengthy coma orlose the mental ability to rule.

Unlike the United States, wherePresident Bush's recent heart ail­ment reminded citizens what wouldhappen should a president becomeincapacitated or die, the churchhas no vice pope. '

A pope who is alive but hin­dered from ruling would de factoparalyze the universal church. Nomajor decisions, including thenaming of bishops, could be made.

In contrast, when a pope diesthe College of Cardinals quicklymoves to elect a successor with fullpowers.

The unique situation stems fromchurch laws' which are clear re­garding what to do after a popedies but say nothing about thegovernance of the church if a poperemains alive, yet is unable toexercise his office.

Since the pope is Catholicism'ssupreme authority for life, thechurch would be in a legal bind ifhe became mentally unable to rulebefore freely offering his resig­nation.

It would be "very murky," said aVatican canon lawyer.

"There is no authority in a posi­tion to intervene" to even deter­mine if a pope is hindered fromruling, he said.

Canon law, the church legisla-tive code says: '

"When the Roman See is vacantor entirely impeded nothing is to

be innovated in the governance ofthe universal church; however,special laws enacted for these cir­cumstances are to be observed."

The "special laws" currently inforce specify that the College ofCardinals is responsible for pre­paring the election of a new popeand administrating routine churchaffairs until a new pope is elected.Usually this is done by a commit­tee of cardinals appointed by theirpeers. This delegated authoritydoes not involve taking on thepope's infallibility or his teachingauthority in faith and morals., Nothing· is mentioned in the

laws about "the complex issue ofthe impeded see, for example, whena pope might suffer a coma orother total disability, become in­sane, or be otherwise truly inca­pacitated from either exercisinghis office or resigning," says acommentary on canon law com­missioned by the Canon Law So­ciety of America.

Another example ofan "entirelyimpeded" papacy would be if apope was kidnapped or imprisonedby hostile political forces and pre- 'vented from regular contact withthe rest of th~ church. There havebeen several cases of this, such asthat of Pope Pius VII, who wasprisoner of the French emperorNapoleon from 1809 to 1814., The last time church officialsworrried about such a situationwas during World War II whenRome was under Nazi occupationand there was fear that AdolfHitler would order'the arrest ofPope Pius XII.

Vatican officials say they knowof no current official study into the

.' situation, and as the problem in­volves the papacy, any initiative toestablish "special laws" would haveto come from the pope.

A delicate issue to be dealt within any "special laws" is whether anew pope should be elected if thecurrent pope 'is judged by doctorsto be in a prolonged coma or insome other way mentally unfit toexercise his office.

Electing another pope wouldsolve the immediate issue of keep­ing the church from crumbling forlack of authority. But it runs therisk of a serious crisis if the first'pope recuperates and the churchfinds itself with two heads, eachclaiming legitimacy; ,

Although there are no currentrules for an impeded papacy, it hasbeen a concern of past popes wor­ried about imprisonment.

In the 1880s Pope Leo XIIIwrote a series of secret decreesdelegating basic administrative au­thority to a committee of threecardinals in case he was taken pris­oner. He also provided for a quick­ened, streamlined approach forthe election of a new pope in casehe died during a "time of persecu­tion."

Pope Leo was worried becauseItaly at the time was governed bystrongly anti-clerical politicalmovements.

His ounce of prevention was notneeded and his rules are no longerin force. But he did set a precedentfor developing special norms foran impeded papacy.'

malized governance of an arch­bishop.

Bishop Kondrusiewicz was thennamed an archbishop and ap­pointed head of the third kind ofapostolic admjnistration - a new,permanently established territorysimilar to a diocese.

The Vatican estimates there are60,000 Catholics in the new Apos­tolic Administration of Moscow,but has no exact figures - noteven on the number of priests., Having, to start from scratchplayed a part in the decision not tomake Moscow a diocese, alongwith other, more sensitive reasons.

A Vatican official familiar withthe situation said it was helpful atthis point not to have a diocese inMoscow, which is the patriarchalsee, or main archdiocese, of theRussian Orthodox Church.

He said the Vatican is requiredto notify the Soviet government of.church appointments as a cour­tesy, but government approval isnot necessary.

Another Vatican official saidthe Russian Orthodox Church fearsthe new appointments are the be­ginning of a campaign to win con­verts in the Soviet Union.

Although the Orthodox havebeen assured that the appointmentsare designed to improve the life ofSoviet Catholics, the deCision tomake Moscow an apostolic ad­ministration could be a symbolicway of calming the fears.

Passage of the Soviet freedomof conscience law allowed the Vat­ican in mid-April to unite the dio­ceses of Minsk and Mogilev into anew archdiocese under the nor-

strict religious practice, requiregovernment approval of ecclesias­tical changes or are in other situa­tions which would profit from the'section's diplomatic experience.

Apostolic administrations areestablished under three generalconditions, all requiring "particu­lar and very serious reasons," ac­cording to canon law.

In the first two cases, the apos­tolic administration is not a newterritory and it is expected to returnto its original status as a diocese., If the diocesan bishop is pre­vented from governing for politi­calor personal reasons,an 'apos­tolic administrator can be named.It's also called for if the diocese isvacant because of internal churchdifficulties or because of church- 'state problems.

Many dioceses in communist­controlled countries have been, orstill are, under the care of apos­tolic administrators.

The Diocese of Minsk, Byelo­russia, was established in 1798, butthe see was vacant for many yearsunder strict Soviet rule. BishopTadeusz Kondrusiewicz was ap­pointed apostolic administrator ofthe diocese in 1989.

mediate plans to establish a dioce­san clergy.

The Diocese of Tambacounda,Senegal, was created in April 1989after being an apostolic prefecturefor 19 years; it skipped over theapostolic vicariate stage.

Thediocese now has 5,720 Cath­olics among its'395,000 residents,10 parishes, four diocesan priestsand 17 religious priests.

Bothjurisdictions operate underthe Congregation for the Evan­gelization of Peoples, which is incharge of territories in missionarylands.

Holy Cross Father Charles A.Schleck, undersecretary of the con­gregation, said deciding what sta­tus to give a missionary territoryalso involves consultation with thereligious order working there.

If an order is .willing to take onthe responsibility for a 'territory,members are asked what personal"character" they want the localsuperiQr to have, Father Schlecksaid.

If they don't want him to be abishop, the territory is an apos­tolic prefecture; if they want himto have episcopal consecration, anapostolic vicariate is called for.

Either way, in his governance of, the territory the superior has thesame power as a diocesan bishop,but exercises his ministry in thename of the pope.

The Congregation for Eastern­rite Churches does the planningfor territories for Eastern-riteCatholics, and in areas where theCatholic Church and its hierarchyare well established, the Congre­gation for .Bishops handles thearrangements. /l

The Secretariat of State's Sec­tion for Relations with States iscalled in when territories are beingestablished in countries which re-

no detailed test for the determina­tions. Nor is there a time limit forpassing from one stage to the next.And an area can skip stages. '

The choice involves a study ofhow many Catholics, how manyparishes and how many priests arein the area. Geographical size isconsidered; so are finanCial re­sources.

The fluid standards also vary byregion or country, taking into ac­count the strength and maturity ofthe Catholic com~unity and the

, political, ecumenical or interrelig­ious situation under which it lives.

The differences can be seen inJamaica and Senegal.

U.S. Father Paul M. Boyle, aformer superior general of thePassionist order, was named abishop and head of the'new apos­tolic vicariate of Mandeville, Ja­maica, in late April.

The territory was carved fromtwo existing dioceses and has 6,000Catholics among its 500,000 resi­dents. The Passionists will care forthe faithful and there are no im-

Dioceses: what you alw~ys wanted to, know but were afraid to askVATICAN CITY (CNS) - A

group of6,000 Catholics would beconsidered a parish in some partsof the world, but elsewhere theVatican. would call the group adiocese and give it a bishop.

In between parish and diocesethe Catholic Church has a varietyof structures to provide (lrder andorganization in a given territory.

Four Vatican offices are involvedin recommending that the popeestablish new jurisdictions and inhelping him decide how to labelthem.

In missionary regions thechoices are: mission "sui juris"(which is not connected to a dio­cese), apostolic prefecture, apos­tolic vicariate, and diocese. A de­veloping Eastern-rite jurisdictionis called an apostolic exarchate.

A diocese-in-formation in acountry where the church alreadyis well established is called a terri­torial prelature. And if none oftheabove choices fit, the pope canerect an apostolic administration.

euthanasia," Bishop McHugh said.The bishop also discussed rem­

oval of food and water frompatients iri a persistent vegetative ­state - sometimes referred to bythe initials PVS - to hasten theirdeaths. .. "The problem is that at the pres­

ent time we know that a PVSpatient is living, is brain-damagedand disabled, but given nourish­ment, liquids and nursing care,such a patient may live for manyyears," Bishop McHugh said.

"This is considerably differentfrom the patient who is uncon­scious but actually dying ofcancer,heart failure, AIDS complications,multiple injuries or some otherfatal disease," he added. "Artifi­cially provided nutrition and hydr­ation in these cases may be uselessto sustain life or too burdensome[to the patient] to provide."

In a 1989 letter to Camden di­ocesan priests, Bishop McHughsaid the removal offood and watel'from patients who were not dyingof their injuries or illnesses intro­duces a new cause of death, namelystarvation.

"We should take the safestcourse" in such matters, the bishopsaid in his talk.

"N utrition and hydration shouldbe provided as part of a patient'snormal care, even if provision ofsuch care requires medical tech­nology, unless or until the benefitsof nutrition and hydration areclearly outweighed by' a definitedanger or burden. or they areclearly use~ess in,sustaini.ng life." .

THE ANCHOR-'-Diocese of Fall River-Fri., May 31, 1991 11

BOSTON (CNS) - BishopJames T. McHugh of Camden,N.J., thinks American society ison a "downhill run" toward legaleuthanasia and assisted suicide.

He warned of "new and deter­mined efforts to shape a public.morality that approves activeeuthanasia" in a recent talk at St.John Seminary in Boston..

"I n the short span of20 years wehave gone from stating the ques­tions [concerning euthanasia] toadvocacy for and attempts tosocially justify, approve and per­haps mandate euthanasia," he said.

Bishop McHugh cited threerecent cases 'in which physicianspublicly admitted helping seriouslyill or dying patients kill themselves:

- Dr. Jack Kevorkian. a retiredMichigan pathologist whose "sui­cide machine" was used in theassisted suicide of an Oregonwoman in the early stages of Alz­heimer's disease.

- "It's Over. Debbie·," anunsigned opinion piece publishedin 1988 in the Journal of the Amer­ican Medical Association, in whichthe author, who claimed to be aphysician in residence, admitted toinjecting a lethal dose of morphineinto a patient dying of ovariancancer after deciding the patientwas suffering too much.

- A New York physician's recentrevelation in The New EnglandJournal of Medicine that he helpeda leukemia patient with a 25 per­cent chance of survival kill herself~y taking an overdose of bar-bituarates.· .·"1 bdieve these three cases indi­

cate that we have already begunthe downhill run toward legallyapproved assisted suicide and active

Women's pastoralContinued from Page One

ed the meeting participants atmidday.

Susan Muto, an adjunct pr'ofes­sor of theology at Duquesne Uni­versity in Pittsburgh and the staffwriter for the pastoral, said Cardi­pal Ratzinger's presentation wassimilar to comments the doctrinalcongregation sent the U.S. bish­ops after the second draft was pub­lished in April 1990.

Ms. Muto and Sister MariellaFrye, a member of the MissionHelpers of the Sacred' Hearr and'chief staff person for the pastoral,were at the meeting as observers.

The doctrinal congregation's com­ments were never made public, butMs. Muto said the main points

. included observations on'the pas­toral's methodology and ,anthro­pology, its treatment of Mary andits discussion of the roles ofwomen in the church.

·Cardinal Ratzinge(s concernaboutthe methodology - holdingwidespre!ld consultations .withwomen about their experiences inchurch and society and reflectingtheir responses in a pastoral letter

, - was that it be done in "dialogue··with the magisterium," she said.

"The difficulty and the beautyof the document" is that it tries "to

.hold in tension the re~liiy of whatwomen are thinking, experiencingand feeling" and the church'steaching in areas which some finddifficult, she said.

Another observation was thatthe letter must affirm the equalityof women and men without deny­ing women's '~unique identity."

Ms. Muto said there was a"general concern" among Vaticanofficials and some bishops that thepastoral could be overly influ­enced by what they "naivelylabeled as radical feminism."

"For many American womenfeminism isn't only a radicalagenda," she said, and explaining"Christian feminism" is one of thetasks of the U.S. participants atthe consultation.

..Archbishop Pilarczyk and Card­inal Ratzinger made it clear this isnot about putting any bishop onthe defensive - this is a sharing,"she said.

She said the archbishop gave anoverview of the history of the pas­toral and its main points.

He then told the participants

Boston parishesaccept-iiIegal guns

BOSTON (CNS) - Four par­ishes in-the archdiocese of Bostonlast week accepted illegal guns ­no questions asked - during thecity's Gun Amnesty Week design­ed to reduce the number of wea­pons on Boston's streets.

Cardinal Bernard F. Law saidthe program was not a cure-all forthe city's violence problems butwas a step in the right direction.

Pastors at the four Catholic par­ishes - St. Catherine of Siena, St.Augustine, St. Patrick and St.Paul -, turned over to police anyweapons they received.

The Gun Amnesty Week wasamong recommendations of theCardinal's Committee on the City,a body convened by Cardinal Lawlast year to address the problem ofurban youth;violence.

Title XContinuedfrom Page One

abortion was always outside thescope of a Title X program," hesaid. "There is simply no constitu­tional requirement that Congresssubsidize abortion."

Bishop James T. McHugh ofCamden, N.J.-:former head of theU.S. bishops' Secretariat for Pro­Life Activities, described the deci­sion as "positive and encouraging."

"Clearly, the decision today isconsistent with congressional in­tent and with the thinking of theAmerican people," he said. "Re­fusal of government funding forthe promotion of abortion is not aviolation of free speech or a wom­an's decision to obtain an abor­tion. It simply safeguards the rightsof those who do not want to becompelled to pay for abortions bytax-supported government pro­grams."

Douglas Johnson, legislative di- .rector for the National Right toLife Committee, said he was "de­lighted" that Associate Justice

. David H. Souter, Bush's first ap­pointee to the court, had votedwith the majority in Rust vs. Sulli­van, the only abortion-related caseto come before the court during its1990-91 session.. .Calling it "a landmark ruling,"Johnson said the decision "is adefeat for those organizations thatdemand tax dollars to promoteabortion as a 'family planningoption.' "

The decision also drew imme­diate reaction from supporters ofabortion rights.

Kate Michelman, head of theNational Abortion Rights ActionLeague, said the ruling was "anenormous shock, far worse eventhan we, feared, an,d undeniableevidence that the chill wind blow­ing from this court threatens ourmost fundamental, inalienablerights and liberties."

". In Congress Reps. Ron Wyden,D~Oie., and John Porter; R-Ill.,announced plans to introduce leg­islation to overturn the decision.

- Silverware drawer: a trainingground for future conflict resolu­tion. If you can survive and com­promise on which way the forks,knives and spoons should bearranged, you have solid groundfor a good marriage.

Should soup and tablespoonsbe mixed? What about salad anddinner forks? Which way shouldthe handles face? Should the potatopeeler or any paring knives beallowed?

- Credit card: the credit man­ager of the local bank who saysthings like, "You have no credithistory so you may not havecredit."

- Buying in bulk: purchase offoodstuffs, paper products andother items in quantities approp­riate for aircraft carriers. Sugges­tion: Do not purchase paper tow­els in quantities that require youbuy a pickup truck.

- Budget: a compound wordconsisting of "Budge" and "get,"usually prece~ed by the words"nothiQg will." Often used to des-
