It is only when you begin thewinding ascent to the heights be­yond that you become more andmore aware that there exists yetanother Bolivia: a Bolivia ofrural peasants trying to surviveoff the yield of the land; a peoplewhose garb and looks clearly linkthem with a history stretchingdeep into the past; a people whotoday are sHII living on thefringes of social and economicdevelopment in Bolivia.

These are the campesinos(peasants) who make up the ma­jority of Bolivia's populationwhile inhabiting the vast 75 percent of its territory that is non­urban. lt is into this Bolivia thatone emerges upon leaving thecity below and moving out intothe great stretches of altiplanothat exist at an altitude of nearly13,000 feet above sea level.Quickly you sense that you havearrived in what might be calleda middle-distance land betweenTiwanaku and the 20th century.

Moving from the general dif­ficulties which the Church findsitself faced with today to partic­ular internal troubles, Pope Paulobserved:

"And now there are some sonswho have sworn love and fidelitywho are leaving. There are nota few almost-deserted seminariesand Religious families wh.o findnew candidates only with diffi­culty. And there are the faithfulwho do not fear to be unfaithful.

"The list of these evils whichafflict the Church of God today,despite the (Second Vatican)Council, could be continued upto the point at which the greatpart of them do not assail theChurch from without, but afflict,weaken and enfeeble it fromwithin."

Despite these difficulties, theChurch will stand because it hasthe promise of Christ to be withit for a'll time, ,the Pope declared.

"Faith is the first requirementto overcome the present difficul-ties," he said. .

The Pope defined faith as "theadherence to the word of God,"

Church DifficultiesRespond to Faith

CASTELGANOOLFO (NC) ­Faith is the first requirement forovercoming the difficulties beset­ting the Church today, Pope PaulVI told his weekly general audi­ence Sept. 11.

lt would seem superfidalllythat the Churoh "is destined toburn itself out and let itself besubstituted by a more facile andexperimental rational and scien­tific concept of the world," heobserved.

Such a substitute for theChurch would be "without dog­mas, without hierarchies, with­out limits to the possible enjoy­ment of existence and withoutthe Cross of Christ," he said.

'Pope Paul asked: "Has therenot pe~haps been created anabyss, seemingly bottomless, be­tween modern thought and theold religious and churchly men­tality?"

Many today wonder "if it isstill necessary for the Church toteach us to love the poor, torecognize the rights of slaves.and of men, to care for and helpthe suffering, or to invent alpha­bets for illiterate people."

Judges were: Mrs. 'MildredNowicki,' Mrs. Theresa O'Neil,Mrs. Nellie Kaczynski, Mrs. JaneWenc and Mrs. Florence Gasior.

He further explained:

"Subjectively, it is not suffi­cient to have a vague faith, orone that is weak and uncertain.Nor is it sufficient to have a faiththat is purely sentimental, .ha­bitual composed of guesses, opin­ions, doubts or reservations.

"At the same time it is notenough, objectively, to have afaith which accepts only whatpleases it, or which seeks toescape difficulties by refusingassent to mysteries and difficulttruths." ,

An extended catechetical ef­fort beforehand tends to restoregenuine belief and commitmentas the solid basis of Christiancommunity, rather than mererate participation in 'liturgicalceremonies. It must also be reomembered that here the Massby necess:ty remains an infre·quent occasion for these peoplesince we ourselves are quite lim·ited in the number of visits toeach publio during the course of,the year due to the size of thearea. With the arrival of therainy season from Decemberthrough March many pueblos be­come completely inaccessible. Allthe more then, these leaders areentrusted with the task of con­tinuing weekly Bible services andcatechesis as the main thrust ofour efforts.

Cursillo WitnessA cursillo here leaves no doubt

about the desire which campe­sinos have for bringing the mis·sian to their communities. Many,will walk sometimes for hoursover the mountains in order tocome in and, spend an entireweek with us. Tired as they maybe and unaccustomed as they areto classroom learning, they sitattentively through classes frommorning to night. it is both hum­bling and heartening to beamong a people who set them­selves so passionately to the taskof learning, realizing well thatthis is their first step in thestruggle for a better future.. The chaHenge to ,us is one

of patience as we try to teachin a way that is simple and com­prehensible to them. Both in cur­sillos and in our work among thepueblos we find ourselves forcedto contend in a new manner withthe very basic meanings and is·sues of the Gospel as called forby the mode of the campesino'slives. This is as healthy for us asit is for them. It breathes a newspirit into our own understand­ing of the Gospel and into' ourefforts at handing it on to othersin such a way that it will effec­tively strike at the heart of theirown lives and invite them into anew perception of faith imd ser·vice within their pueblos. Thereis with this the excitement ofwitnessing honest beginnings, ofseeing how the Word of Godmoves and shapes a new people,

to stay at home or to hire baby­sitters. For many such infantsthis will be the only view theywiiJI ever have of the big worldaround them.

High DeathsThe infant mortality rate in

the campo runs close to 60 percent, a factor whioh also reflectsthe total lack of health faciltiesin the campo. Pain and sicknesssimply have become an acceptedpart of life. And in the harshrhythm of nature seen allaround, dying is resigned to ascoming to ultimate terms withthe bargain of being born.

It is in this setting that we areseeking to carryon a missionarywor,k among these people bothby the efforts of our catecheticalcenter in Paria and by our timespent in the campo. Basically ourwork is aimed at trying to slow­ly bring the people to a fullerawareness of the possibilitiesthat lie within their reach forgrowth and development as indioviduals and as communities.Such is the premise for our pre­sentation of the Gospel.

Lay LeadersOur approach is through the

formation of lay leaders hopeful­ly committed to the faith andcapable of promoting it amongtheir own pueblos. Such a taskhegins with week long courseswhich we offer periodically dur­ing the year here in Paria.

The follow-up effort thencomes in our visits to the pueb­los along with regu~ar meetingsamong the leaders. Alreadyfruits of this work are beginningto show in several leaders whoare assuming ever greater re­sponsibilities both within, theirown pueblos and in extendedmissionary efforts to other pueb­los.

Sacramental LifeOur ministry in the sacraments

at this stage is governed by the,growth of faith from within thecom·munity. We let this be theprimary factor in determining'both the need and desire of thepeople for the sacraments. This,we find, puts sacramental life ina much better perspective thanthat found where unrelenting in­sistence on weekly Mass and reoception of the sacraments is_o~ten done at the expense of areal investment of faith by thepersons themselves.

-is the poverty in which theylive. To spend a few nights ora week living with them is alesson ,indeed.

Their homes are nothing morethan adobe huts with thatchedroofs. For a floor they can boastonly the bare earth. In a house,whose total space may not bemuch more than the size of aliving room in an Attleborohome, a family of husband, wifeand several children will oftenbe living. One end of the littleabode hut is used for cookingand the other end for sleeping.

One WardrobeThe campesina himself bears

his status in his clothing usuallylimited to a wardrobe of one set,well worn, sewn ,and patched.Children's clothing will often bepieced together from differentremnants, not uncommonly fromportions of flour or sugar sacks.The meals of a campesina familyare a steady diet of potatoes,rice, sometimes a few green veg­etables, and very infrequently afew scraps of meat.

This sub-standard level of liv­ing carries over into the worklife also where the whole familygets into the act. Plowing is stilldone by a team of bulls haul1nga plowshare fashioned from atree trunk and perhaps fittedwith the leaf of a car springhoned into a blade. In this way'acres and acres of rugged terrainare plowed, one furrow at a time.

Everyone WorksWh'ile the men are engaged

at this the women and childrenof four years and older are outamong the fields or hills tendingflocks of sheep or llama. It issomething to see a child of onlyfive or six years old already as­suming the responsibility of ashepherd, like a young David,skillfully handling the "honda,"or s.1ing, used to control theflock. '

900 Mi. ParishIn order to really understand

the life of this people you mustget beyond Paria to,the more dis­tant reaches of the campo. Ourparish consists of a 900 squaremile area within which aresome 50 or so small pueblosscattered throughout the hillsand valleys. All are Aymara andQuecba Indian folk whose com­mand of Spanish is somewhatlimited. The first unmistakableimpression one has of thesepueblos and their people-aftersurmounting the initial difficul­ty of even reaching many ofthem by way of rutted roadwaysthrough mountains and riverbeds

of La Paz. This small pueblo ofabout 40 families has its ownS))ot in history as being the firstsettlement established by theSpanish here in Bolivia nearly400 years ago. Situated wherethe mountains melt into the flatpampa-land, Paria has the fea­tures of all pueblos that exist inthe campo so far removed fromwhat we commonly accept asthe marks of modern civilization.

It is a land without pavedroads, without electricity, heat,or running water. Apart from afew small stores selling simplefoodstuffs, the people live byfarming, cUltivating what fewcrops can be grown at this alti­tude - beans, potatoes, barley, 'onions, and quinoa, a high pro­tein grain-and by raising live­stock in the way of hogs, mules,

- llama, and sheep which roamquite freely around and throughthe town. The evidence of the al­titude is marked also by the ab­sence of trees. This might drawa barsh judgment on the landas being a very barren, unattrac­tive territory, but in its ruggedbeauty of mountains, valleys andravines it manages to have aspecial charm and allure all itsown.

It is in this tradition, alongwith many other' contemporarymissionary groups, that the So­ciety of St. James arrived inBolivia fifteen years ago as avolunteer group of diocesanpriests from throughout theworld founded by the late Cardi­nal Cushing of Boston. Its mem­bers are now working' in Peruand Ecuador as well as in Bo­livia. And so it was that I myselfarrived in Bolivia this past MarcIlafter spending four months atlanguage school in Lima.

It seems that all of us, fromour first glimpses of a modelglobe in our early school years,inherit a prejudice about thesouthern hemisphere: it is theunderside of the world-or soit seems-and we are on top.

Some BiasesThis prejudice, whether con­

sciously or not, seems eventual­ly to embrace the presumptionthat whatever is from the north­ern hemisphere, and especiallyfrom the United States, musttherefore be better. Or its oppo­site, we come to judge with acharacterisNcally American su~

periority complex that whateveris different than "our way" mustsomehow be less in quality andvalue.

The first challenge on, enter­ing this new life and new worldis to shed something of thatAmericanism' in order to beginboth to recognize and to acceptthe values, styles, and customsof a new people, 'to see and cred­it them ,in their own right andnot just for how they may differfrom us, as if the United Stateswere the only norm for the en·tire world.

confreres recently ordained,priests informally discuss theirparochial ministries with t:heirBishop, the chief priest of theDiocese.

The retreat schedule for eachpriest included twelve spiritualconferences by Father Sullivan,recitation. of the Prayer of Chris­tians three times daily, and Ben­edicNon of the Blessed Sacra­ment each evening. "Phe liturgi­cal high point of each day'sactivities was the ConcelebratedMass held in the Camp -chapel.Bishop Cronin served as.principalconcelebrant during the firstweek's sessions, and Bishop Ger­rard undertook this role duringthe second week of retreat. Spe­cial Masses for the cause of vo­cations, for deceased bishops andpriests of the Diocese, in honorof the Blessed Virgin Mary, Di­ocesan Patroness, and in honorof Jesus Christ, the Eternal HighPriest, were offered each week.

Many favorable commentswere heard from the one hundredand eighteen priests who com­pleted the retreat about FatherSullivan's spiritual counsel andgu'idance. Well known to manyresidents. of this area, FatherSullivan, formerly the President.of Stonehill College and present­ly associated with the HolyCross Retreat House in NorthEaston, seemed to thoroughly en­joy the experience, not an easyone in the view of many clergy,of providing points for medita­tion for the assembled priests.

Arrangements at CathedralCamp were made by FatherLeonard M. Mullaney, Camp Di­rector, ably assisted by a crewof ten Diocesan seminarians andthe Camp staff.

The priests have by' now re­turned to their various parishand institutional assignments,bringing with them a renewedsense of, their mission as spiritualleaders of God's, people. Theyare ready now for another yearof labor in the Lord's Vineyard.

PilgrimageIn a five-hour car and helicopter: pilgrimage the other

day to' places connected with the life and death of S1.Thomas Aquinas, Pope Paul pointed 'out that S1. Thomasgives answers to anxieties that troub)e modern man. ThePope. said that our time shouts loudly about the conflictbetween two forms of consciousness: in the mind of thebeliever-faith and knowledge. :

St. Thomas resolves these, the Pope said, because "hestarted with the Word of God reveal~d and supported byreasonable motives of credibility, arid then applied thehuman mind-knowledge-to study it: with its own prin­ciples and methods in a way that th~ resulting theology

. could rise, without presumption and s4perstition, to a trueand wonderful level of the knowledge of God."

The Pope indicated that the desire 'I of modern man forclarity and depth and truth is one that ,can be fulfilled and51. Thomas showed the way; indeed, tll.ose in his own timeyearned for the same assurances and tpe saint, taking thesame powers of the human mind that men have today, andtaking the same revealed Word of God that men have today,showed how the reconciliation can take place and theassurances be attained. :

The pilgrimage itself of the Holy Father, from hissummer residence by helicopter to the Basilica of St.Thomas in Fossanova, -showed a reconCiliation of the un­changing truths of religion with modetfn techniques. Theaction itself was an example of what Pppe Paul says anddoes. In himself he presents to the world the Church, everold and ever new, ever living in the present while everrooted in eternity. \

The Contemporary SchodlI

As schools open throughout the nation, several commu-nities in widely differing areas of the c06ntry are offeringparents a different type of education for their children. They.are holding out "alternative schools." I

One of these in Palo Alto, Californ,ia, typical of theothers, and calling itself "the contemporary school," says inits prospectus that its goal and philosophy is to' emphasize"academic skills and subject matter and the establishment ofgood study habits ... in a quiet and orderly environmentwhich many children need in order to learp. -... A majorityof the school hours will be devoted to: the teaching ofreading, writing, spelling, language and arithmetic...."

Well, now, this is quite a switch from .'what many haveconsidered "alternative ~chools." The "~lternative schools"of the last decade or so were largely unstructured schools.Some were successful because children learned under thesophisticated and low-keyed guidance of excellent teachersable'and,willing to work hard in the indivi~ual developmentof the child while not appearing to domin*te or to dictate.Some scl1.ools of the type be~ame places of chaos.

. But now co~es "the contemporary sch9ol" which seemsto have brought the matter full circle. More ~nd more people,and especially parents, are coming to demand that theirchildren learn the basics, are coming to as1,{ that school be'presented not just as a fun place but as the setting in whichthe development of skills and the acquisition of knowldegehave a priority. .,

No one should advocate that schools b~come places ofrigid and blind forcing of faCts upon children, with no regardfor individual temp'eraments and.make-ups. :

But too many of the "alternative schools" of the lastdecade have not done the job either. -. Perhaps the "contemporary school" is the one that will

blend the necessary learning setting and supject matter ofthe structured school with the innovation and creativity andindividual concern of the "alternative school.~'

One Faith

During his address to the dioc­esan priests' meeting, the cardi­nal asked what a priest shouldbe.

He answered his own questionby saying that humanism is themost important trait for a priest.

Using examples and stressingChurch doctrine concerningunity, he urged the priests tostrike a proper balance betweentheir professional and spir·ituallives.

"I rejoice that the vast major­ity of priests do not lOok upontheir ca'lling as a profession,"Cardinal Wright said. "They dotheir work for the love of it."

At a Mass at Blessed Sacra­ment Cathedral, the' cardinal saidin his homily that even though'there are many diHerences in theChurch, unity is essential.

"Office may differ from of­fice," he noted, "but it is all oneChurch, one body of Christ, onefaith, one L?rd, one Baptism."

consultation with scholars intheology and Sacred Scripture,were endorsing "by example thegrowing trend toward continuingeducation."

He said most bishops "felt wewere sent here by the priests andpeople of our diocese who looked,upon the trip not as a vacation'but as a chance to return toschool."

Catholics expect bishops to be"teachers and preachers todayrather than executives and ad­ministrators," he said.

The consultation is being heldat the North American Collegegraduate house, 16th-centurystructure ·in downtown Romewhere the bishops are living instudents' quarter.s.

So far the bishops have dis­cussed the theology of tne resur­rection, original sin and redemp­tion. In addition to sessions intheology, Scripture and philos­ophy, the consultation includestwo days of spiritual reflection,emphasizing authority in theChurch as a service to the com­munity. The final week's agendaincludes an examination of moralprinciples.

Bishop Louis Gelineau of Prov­idence, R. I., said the consulta­tion "enriches my Hfe personally,and I hope the experience willredound to the life of the peopleof my diocese."

Cardinal Cooke said the con­sultation was not only an oppor­,tunity for Amerkan bishops tosupport each other but also to"support the Holy Father andmove ahead with him as collab­orators in the leadership he has'given since the (second Vatican)Council."

GREENSBURG (NC) - Theworld has experienced an explo­sion of knowledge without a cor­responding advance in wisdom,Cardinal Wright said here inPennsylvania.

Cardinal Wright, prefect of theVatican Congregation for theClergy, addressed a meeting of150 diocesan priests after hold­ing a news conference on theday of his arrival.

While talking with reporter·s,lhe cardinal sa'id that society hascome to place too much empha­sis on "know hOW" and notenough on ,"know why."

"We've had a great knowledgeexplosion," Cardinal Wri.ghtpointed out, "with no corre­sponding wisdom explosion."

The cardinal, a former bishopof Pittsburgh, recalled his ownhackground of being taught inthe home. Many parents, he said,'rely on the school to leach suchbasics as manners and decency.

As a result, he added, teachershave less time to teach reading,writing, mathematics and the artof thinking.

"They ex'pecl the school to doit ... There is not enough train­ing at home," he said.

The cardinal appealed to thepublic to begin what he called atrend away from excessive pro­fessionalism and toward com­passion, . empathy, and love inteaching. He defined profession­alism as a preoccupation with"know how" instead of "knowwhy," and called it "a greatAmerican disease."

At this juncture seeding canhe done'. The best time to seed alawn is in the Fall when thereare light rains and the grass isnot overcome with heat. Theyoung grass has ample oppor·tunity to take root, grow andspread before winter dormancysets in. .

Finally, there is the wateringwhich must be done in order tokeep tlhe seed mOist and germi·nating. I have found that thebest times for watering are earlymorning and mid·afternoon. Agood soaking with a light spray-in the morning will last untilwell into the afternoon, whenanother watering is sufficient tokeep the seed moist until the fol·lowing morning.

A lawn treated in such a wayis 'bound to be healthy and'strong. Ideally, this procedureshould be followed each 'year,but unfortunately most of us donot have the time or energy forthis. But doing it every threeyears or so should help to renewthe lawn and keep it from reoquiring a major overhaul.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Th~

Senate has passed a bill creatinga commission to police the $520billion-a-year agricultural futuresmarket. The National CatholicRural Life Conference supportedsuch a -commission in congres­sional testimony earlier this year.

Futures markets are the armof a commodities exchangewhich buys and sells agriculturalproducts before they are deliv­ered.

The Senate votcd o.verwhelm­ingly by a vote, to establish anindependent, full-time Commodi­ty Futures Trading Commissionto protect investors in fast-mov­ing trading and to protect againstspeculation that may add to in­flation for consumers.

The Senate bill is tougher thana similar bill passed by theHouse. The two bills will be rec­.onciled in a joint conference. TheSenate bill would model the in­dependent commission along ·thelines of the Securities and Ex­change Commission, with fivefull-time members appointed bythe president and cOilfirmed bythe Senate.

In testimony before the HouseAgriculture Committee and aletter to the Senate AgricultureCommittee, Archbishop IgnatiusStrecker of Kansas City, Kan.,president of the rural life con­ference, called for stringent con­trols on the futures markets, in­cluding an independent commis­sion.

Archbishop Strecker said fu·tures markets were designed toprotect the return a farmer couldexpect on his investment and as­sure a continuous supply ofgoods for consumers. But; hesaid, the futures have "fallenshort of this hoped-for goal."

Urge CandidatesTo Take StandOn Abortion

DETROIT (NC)",:"","The Knightsof Columbus opposed abo~tion

The knights resolved that po­litical parties and candidatesshould be "forced to take a posi­tion" for or against a constitu­tional amendment reversing the1973 U.S. Supreme Court deci­sion barrfng most restrietions onabortion.

The,eso!ution, passed by the386 delegates to the meeting ofthe supreme ,council, declaredthat the Supreme Court's ruling"brought about a moral catastro­phe more malignant than thescandal of Watergate or the rav­ages of inflation."

The Supreme Council of the1.2 million-making organizationalso stated that it "opposes thegranting of wholesale uncondi­tional amnesty or pardon of con­viction for' deserters from themilitary, draft resisters or otherswho have chosen to become fugi­tives from their country to avoidmilitary service, but it supportsa policy of limited amnesty fortruly conscientious objectors."

School AidThe Knights' supreme council

also called for "appropriate leg­islation and if necessary a consti­tutional amendment .. : to pro­vide financial assistance to non­public school students" that willinclude "transportation, purchaseof services, textbooks in secularsubjects and tuition grants' or re­lief through income tax grants."

The supreme council pointedout that rising costs have mad~

it increasingly more difficult tomaintain religiously affiliatednon public schools withaut taxsubsidies "thereby denying toparents the freedom of choice es­sential to the exercise of theirconstitutional guarantees."

Another resolution declaredthat "obscenity and immoralityare detrimental to every com­munity" and urged all units ofthe Knights of Columbus to"strengthen their fight againstpornography" by vigorouslypressing states and communitiesto adopt laws banning worksthat are patently offensive, pre­dominantly prurient and haveno serious' literary, artistic, po­litical or scientific value and toenforce such laws stri,ctly.

The administra­tion is currently consideringwhether to spend this much ormore, McGovern said.

"But that appears to be thedirection in which our policy isnow headed," McGovern said.

Bishop Boza said he recog­nizes that peace moves must bewelcome by Christians every­where both among great pawersand smaller nations.

"But peace is the fruit of jus­tice and the tranquility of order,"he saW. "If we do not have both,there cannot be true peace."

He also warned against the"climate of rapprochment be­tween Marxists and Churchmembers in which com'promiseand opportunism seem to re­place principles."

It was guerrilla activity inVenezuela, attributed to Castro,which in the first place led theOAS to impose political andeconomic sanctions on Cuba inJuly 1964. Now the co-sponsorsof the proposal claim the sanc·tions have not been very effec­tive. Several members of theOAS have gone ahead and rees­tablished relations with Cuba inrecent months.

SANT.IAGO (NC) - Catholic,Protestant and Jewish leadershave appealed to Chile's militarygovernment for amnesty for po­litical prisoners, a lifting of the"state of internal war" and a re­view by Civilian courts of thesentences imposed by militarycourts. Their appeal came almosta year after the overthrow ofMarxist President Salvador AI­leinde, Sept. II, 197:3.

In a letter to Gen. AugustoPinochet, the head of the militaryjunta and Chile's chief of state,the leaders of four major churchbodies in Chile also asked for a"mitigation of the consequencesof political struggles we haveknown and suffered," an appar­ent reference to continuing re­pression.

Afterdecades of reminders that onlythe sacred hands of a priest maytouch the host, we should expecthesi,tant acceptance or even hos­tile rejection of a developmentin which relatives, friends andneighbors have suddenly beengranted thi~ privilege.

By Rev. Joseph M. Champlin

On a Sunday afternoon soonafter publication of the. new ritefor anointing the sick, I stoppedfor a visit at the home of an ail­ing parishioner. He was seriouslyill, but not critical at that pointand certainly in no imminentdanger of death.

We had talked for 15 minutesor so when I inquired if hewould like to be anointed. Thesudden change in his expressionreally surprised me. Our conver·sation stopped, his jaw tightenedand he looked with a quiet grim­ness off into the distance.

'His wife broke the silence andmentioned homilies we had givenon previous Sundays a'bout thehealing power of this sacrament.The children repeated similarthoughts, ideas they had ab­sorbed at' the local Catholicschools. But to no avail. For themoment this notion of receiving'"last rites" overwhelmed himand I dropped the subject.

I should not have been sostunned by his reaction.

Head and HeartA few words from the pulpit,

a paragraph or two in the bulle­tin, a magazine article may suc­cessfully explain some newchange in the Church and gainour mental acceptance. But mov­ing our hearts to accept the in­novation is quite a different pro­cess, a much harder and longerone.

Our sick parishioner knew alla1bout the revised approach tothis sacrament; he had listenedto those sermons, glanced at thebulletin, read the article. But anear half century of living andlearning ahout the priest giving"last rites" leaves deep impres­sions within a person's being imdattitudes formed over so manyyears are not altered immediate­ly. His heart, for the present,just wouldn't or couldn't goa,long with this change.

Too Well TrainedIn a way, Catholics have been

taught and trained too well. Ourthorough earlier formation hasplaced some. obstacles in thepath of renewaL It often makespainfully difficult approval of anew development even when thisreform is highly desirable, care­fully introduced and stronglysupported by papal authority.

We can cite several other il­lustrations of this clash betweenwhat the head grasps and theheart will accept.

Consider, for example, large,thick brown altar breads in placeof tiny, thin, white Communionwafers. There are several cogentreasons why the former shouldbe used; but many Catholic Chris­tians r~el against their insertionwithin Mass..

I feel guilty, some will say,chewing those larger particles.We were told never to do so.Others will recall instructionwhich linked the holiness andpurity of Jesus with the white­ness of the host.'

They may nod in agreementwhen tlhese points are explained;but in pracNce, at least for a

set by the Pontiff, who admittedthat his action in calling theHoly Year not only can be con­sistently fitted in with the spir­itual line adopted by the Sec­ond Vatican Council," but "cando much to meet the moral needsof our: time."

Thc Holy Year of Jubilee is aperiod of time in which the.church inv,ites her people to par­ticipate in special practices andpilgrimages intended to revivetheir faith, to intensify their spir­itual purification and tostrengthen their Charity.

Rooted in Old TestamentThe Christian Jubilee' Year

finds its roots in the Old Testa­ment when every 50th year wasdesignated a Jubilee Year (Lev.25:8-17; 29-31). The word Jubileecomes from the Hebrew word"yobel" meaning horn. The be­ginning of the Old TestamentJubilee. was marked by thcsounding of the' "shofar" orram's horn.

In the Old Testament traditionthe Jubilee was marked by atime of festivity during which,among other' things, existingdebts were cancelled, propertywas restored to original owners,and Hebrew slaves were freed.

Catholic tradition of JubileeYears began in the 13th Centurywhen the Church was afflictedby heresies and moral decadencefrom within and the menace ofTurkish power from' without.

FirstPope Boniface VlH declared

the first Christian 'Jubilee Yearin 1300 'and it consisted of mak­.ing a penitential pilgrimage to

and dying, a bas-ic beliefs course.We begin, however, by consid­

ering ,the revised rite for thesacrament of Penance which wasreleased by the V'atican at thebeginning of this year and shouldbe available in English transla- .tion within a few months. Thatrestored ritual, specifically de­signed for the reconciliation ofourselves with one another and

. with God, obviously should havean important place in any pro­gram of prepara1tion for the HolyYear.

Here are a few noticeably newfeatures in the liturgy for recon·ciling indiV'idual sinners:

'Prayer Shared By Priest andPenitent. Every liturgical bookpublished since Vatican II hasarranged workship services indialogue form. Various persons,in that concept, exercise distinctroles, e.g., celebrant, lector, ser­ver, congregation. The priest isnot .t:he only one who speaks; itis expected that those presentparticipate, at least by a verbalresponse.

The reformed rite for PenancefoiIows a similar pattern.

a kind manner and with under­standing words. The ritual nextsuggests both ma'ke the sign ofthe cross, and then the celebrantprays for the sinner spontane­ously or wHh ones of severalsupplied formulas.

After the confession and abso­lution, there is likewise a brief,prayerfUl dialogue, a proclama­tion praising God whose limitlessmercy will last forever.

In addition, the flexible riteoffers throughout the celebrationopporturiities for' confessor an_dpenitent to pray toge,ther in aquite personal way about thesinner's situation.

Reading From Sacred Scrip­ture. Before the confession ofsins and the acceptance of ~ pen­ance, the priest either by mem­ory or from a printed text· readsto or with the penitent somesection of the Bible. This passageannounces God's great mercyand summons the sinner to aconversion or change of heart.

That remains an optional step,but one highly desirable and cer­tainly 'eJivisoned by the Churchwhich lists in its ritual over 100scriptural excerpts suitable forthe punpose.

An Act of Contrition. In recentyears, penitents have been en­couraged to make the traditionalact of contrition either before orafter confess-ion itself. With avernacular absolution it seemedbest for the sinner to listen and~ear the pronouncement of for­giveness.

The revised rite, however, nowinvites the penite'nt to verbalize!this inner repentance in his orher own words or according toone of t'he 10 formulas provided.

The confessor delays proclaim­ing absolution until th\lt act ofcontrition has been completed.

A New Absolution Formula. Asimpler form brings out more ex­plicitly the action of the HolySpirit in the sacrament and theChurch's part in this reconcil­iation process.

Imposition of Hands. Whilespea'king the phrases of forgive­ness, a confessor imposes hishands upon the head of the pen­itent or at least extends his righthand toward bhe sinner.

The restoration of that ancientgesture recalls, of course, the wayin which a bishop, during thosefirst centuries, reconciled indi­vidual sinners who had removedthemselves from the Christianc,ommunity. So too today, theconfessor, representing the chiefshepherd of a diocese, welcomesback a sinner cut off from or butweakly attilohed to the Body ofChrist and the People of God.

Wlhen the Holy Year was in­troduced in the'13th Century itwas planned to follow the OldTestament interval of 50 years,but the interval was later re­duced to 25 years by Pope PaulII in 1470 in order to give everyge'neration the opportunity of a

'spiritual' renewal through thespecial graces, of the Jubilee.

Only in 1800 and 1850, whenthe Holy See found itself in great.difficulties, . was the celebrationomitted:

.New ElementsThe 1975 Holy Year has two

new elements. First its unusualduration, which covers a periodof two-and-a-half years, andsecond a reversal in the order ofcelebra'tion. In former JubileeYears the celebration was firstobserved in Rome then extendedtJhroughout the world. This.HolyYear the observances first .beginat the local level, then will ex­tend to Rome beginning with theopening of the Holy Door onChristmas Eve.

,These new elements were in­troduced so that the localChurches may become more con­scious of th~ir role and responsi­bility as part of the universal
