Jerusalem surety asked by pope

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope John Paul II has urged Catholics to pray for peace in the Middle East and has reiterated his de­sire for international guarantees to protect Jerusalem as a city sacred to Jews, Moslems and Christians.

The papal message also sup­ported a: Middle East homeland for Palestinians and peace and security for Jews in Isarel.

Prayers are needed for "a just, solution to the problem of Jeru­salem and of the Holy Land, and for the return of peace in the Middle East," said the pope in a 1,300-word letter written in Latin and published in -L'Osser­vatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, on April 19.

"I am convinced," the pope said, "that to neglect to search for an adequate solution to the question of' Jerusalem, so as to resign oneself to a· postponement of the problem. only compro­mises further the hoped-for

peaceful and equitable resolu­tion of the crisis of the entire Middle East."

The pope called for interna­tional guarantees to protect the rights- of all segments of Jerusa­lem's population.

Turning his attention to the whole Middle East. the pope said that Jews in Israel have the right to "their desired safety and to the just tranquility which is the perogative of every nation and the condition of life and of progress for every society."

The Palestinian people, said the pontiff, "who in that region find their historic rdots and for decades have lived dispersed. have the natural right, by justice, to acquire a homeland and to be able to live in peace and tran­quility with the other peoples of the region."

'Current controversy over the s~atus of Jerusalem ~tems from the. J980 Israeli decision to make

Appeal Day Sunday Over 20,000 volunteer solici­

tors will make house to house calls within their parishes from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday on behalf of the 43rd annual Catholic Charities Appeal..

Visiting some 114,000 homes, the volunteers will ask funds for maintenance and expansion of diocesan apostolates of educa­tion, social services, health care and charity.

Explaining. the undertaking, Bishop Daniel A. Cronin last week wrote a lett~, referring to this year's campaign theme, to diocesan families.' In it he said that Catholics are asked to "Pour Out Your Hearts for the Catholic Charities Appeal."

"Only through the combined efforts of all the people in all the parishes," said the bishop, "will our programs have the as­surance of continuing to reach out to those in need in the com­ing year." D

Msgr. Anthony M. Gomes, di­

ocesan Appeal director, has sug­gested consideration of the pledge system as a way of in­creasing Appeal dnnations.

He noted that members of di­ocesan parishes received contri­bution cards together with the bishop'!; letter. They are asked to use them in making a donation or pledge on Sunday.

He requested that solicitors make returns to parishes im­mediately after completing col­'lections so that they may be re­ported promptly to area and di­ocesan Appeal centers.

Specjal Gifts Atty. James H. Quirk Jr. of

Yarmouth, the Appeal's diocesan lay chairman, has reported that the Special Gifts phase of the campaign is successfully reach­ing business and professional donors in the diocese.

He noted that this phase ends tomorrow and final reports should be made to area head­quarters as quickly as possible.

activity. . In a time that perhaps has grown just a bit too crass

and matter~of-fact in its attitudes to social concerns and needs, it is well that we once again remind ourselves that,

As thousands of lay volunteers begin their wonder­ful work of goi~g from door to .door in. each parish, all should .respond to this appeal not with mere tokenism· but with sincere appreciation of the spiritual challenge to help those in ourcQmmunity who have pressing needs of body and. soul.

It 'is especiMly important that we recognize the chal­lenge of. the Gospel in a period of our national'history that places more emphasis on weapons of destruction than on processes of healing; in a time when so many see life as expendable rather than preciou~; in an era when we are in dan~er of beginning to treat people as robots rather than persons.

In fact, we should be honored to share in an effort to awaken in our diocese the spirit of the beatitudes and to fulfill our"commitment to be known as Christians .by our love for one anotlJ,er.

In many areas of life today, the concept of charity has been aU but lost; thus it becomes all the more urgent that its principles and practice be mani(ested by persons of good willi. ',"

sponsored by the Diocesan Office of FaJDily Ministry

OPENING. PRAYER God our Father, -it's so hard

to move! It's hard to leave old friends and a place we've loved for a new, unknown area. Dear­est Lord, be with us tonight as we share our thoughts and feel­ings about moving. Thank you, dear Lord, for this Family Night. Amen.

A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS

It's been said moving is most difficult for children between the ages of two and four, and for teenagers. Difficulties begin from seventh to ninth grade, with ninth grade being especial­'ly hard, and then junior and senior years in high school are even more difficult. For infants to two years and children five to 10 years old, there are few problems. For them a move can broaden their horizons and be a great adventure.

ACTIVITY TIME Young Family

The Great Adventure. Mater­ials: paper, crayons. Have Mom and Dad start with where they lived when they were first mar­ried and draw a house for each move the family has made up

until the present. Then each per­son draw and color a picture of his favorite place to Hve and tell why. Answer together: Why is moving a great adventure?

A startling plea Why is it that when the

pope makes a statement on any aspect of priestly or re­ligious life it gets headlines and attentior' but when he made a really startling plea for house­wife salaries, it was all but ig­nored in the Catholic and secular press?

The only answers I can come up with, are that editors and church leaders feel it's important or that they disagree with him, in either case, the best way of killing the idea is to ignore it.

For those who didn't read it in small print on page 11 of most papers, Pope John Paul II issued a charter last fall pro­posing wages for parents who' stay home to rear their children. It stated' "Renumeration for work must ,be sufficient for es­tablishing and maintaining a family with dignity, either through a suitable salary, called a 'family wage,' or through other social measures such as family allowances or the renumeration of the work in the home of on.e of the parents."

The document further said wages should "be such that mothers will not be obliged to work outside the home to the detriment of family life and es­pecially of the education of the children."

Funny. We haven't heard any­thing about this .from our. own bishops or family Ufe commis­

sion. Why not? Could it be that at-home moth~rs are considered too trivial to be addressed? Or that this wage will have to come from taxes or increased husband wages so that the groups calling for fulltime at-home mothers are the same ones who oppose government subsidies for welfare and day care?

The controversy sure to erupt will make the equal pay for women .issue seem insignificant. Equal pay for housewives? Un­thinkable!

I know there are thousands of mothers who would turn such pay down,' stressing sincerely that they prefer caring for a home and family for love rather than money. But there are thou­sands of others in marginal and 'unpleasant jobs who would love to stay home and be fuIltime mothers and wives.

How are we going to respond to them in light of the Vatican charter? Ignore them or imple­ment it?

If I were charged with imple­menting . the Pope's words, I'd begin by calling for an episcopal statement on the need for a joint church-government stipend for mothers of pre-school children so they could remain. at home during the crucial bonding period.

This· statement would include the requirement that a woman's job be held open for her without loss of seniority until the last child goes to school, much as we

SNACK Try a "Black Cow" - root

beer and ice cream soda.

ENTERTAINMENT Take turns answering: If I had

to move tomorrow, where would I move? If I could take only three possessions with me, what

.would they be?

SHARING 1. Share a joy from this week. 2. Each share a good quality

about himself and the per­son to his right.

3. Share a moment someone felt very lonely.

CLOSING PRAYER -Suggested Prayer: Dearest

Lord, thank you for this Family Night and for the chance to share our feelings about moving. Lord, we pray for all families who will move soon and ask your Spirit to comfort them when they' say their goodbyes. Grant ·them a safe journey to a new home' and then', Lord, bless them with new loving relationships. Help them to understand you will always be there with them even if they feel lonely. Amen...

do with men who are called into service during wartime. We rec­ognize the unfairness of asking men to serve and then return to no jobs.

Defense of the family is as important as the defense of property to a nation. Yet many young mothers return to work within a few months of a child's birth, primarily because their teaching or factory job will dis­appear if they take two years off.

Next I would work for a mini­mum monthly stipend per child in the family for the non-work­ing parent (a foolish phrase since he or she doesn't exist). Whether it comes from general. taxes, taxes on a spouse's wage, dona­tions of at-home mothers who don't want it, or even elimina­tion of non-taxes for churches, it needs to be initiated if we take the pope's word seriously.

But we don't and we won't because at-home mothers have little clout in either our church or society. It's a pity, because Pope. John Paul II made a pro­found statement on the health of the family. Too bad nobody heard about it.

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Friday, May 4, 1984

To Reel film's a loser

"Terms of Endearment" won five Academy Awards, so I figured I had better go see it. I didn't want to miss a movie with so much popular appeal.

Would you believe I walked out on it? That's right. I :lasted about an hour in the theater. I thought "Terms of Endearment" was silly, coarse and obnoxious. The Shirley McLaine character was so aggressively neurotic that I couldn't stand her. The dialogue was contrived.

Maybe the movie improved after ,the first hour, but I lacked the patience to sit there and find out. I took a hike during a ridi­culous slapstick scene that had MacLaine and Jack Nicholson flailing in the water after drunk­enly driving off a beach in a sports car. This was supposed to be amusing, but it struck me as terminally stupid.

I left the Manhattan theater in a bad mood. The afternoon was sunny, so I decided to buy a magazine and find a place to sit outdoors and read. I walked around the corner to a news­stand on 59th St. There was so ,mUch. outrageous pOl1\ography on display, fullcolor magazines pandering to every aberration, that I kept on walking without pausing to browse.

This was across the street, from Bloomingdale's on the smart East Side of the cultural capital of the world.

Only a civilization sinking in slime could praise a movie like "Terms of Endearment," in my quaint opinion. Only a society drowning in dirty pictures, ob­scene films, suggestive adver­tising, debased books, inane TV fare and media sick with mater­ialism could reward such sappy mediocrity. Art reflects society, so "Terms of Endearment" is aI1t in our wrenched culture.

I felt like a voyeur watching it. The audience was subjected to talk that was much too inti­mate for public consumption. It was embarrassing. It made' me wince. Spare me from discussion of orgasms,' please! And the scene where MacLaine fixed her hair in the ladies' .room included a gratuitously vulgar touch. Why is Hollywood toilet fixated?

What really infuriated me, Though, was the scene in which the MacLaine character attemp­ted to persuade her daughter to have an abortion. Believe it or not, this scene was intended to be funny. I was expected to laugh. The audience was sup­posed to sympathize with the MacLaine character, to appreci­ate her viewpoint, to be tickled by her preference for abortion rather than a grandchild. Holly­wood was trying to make the

. aftl~r that btt.

Many of you no doubt saw ''TE!rmS of Endearment." You may disagree with my reaction. Difference of opinion ·is what makes horse races and life in­teNlsting. A friend of mine saw it and liked it. I could be wrong, but I hated it. It's huge popular­ity is a sign of society gone hay­wire, in my opinion.

My opinion is likely to find more agreement among Catholic press readers than among others, a thought that reassures me and

. maJ{es me profoundly grateful for the existence of these dioce­san publications.

I read several Catholic papers eve.ry week, and I look forward to their arrival. I learn a lot and I find hope and inspiration in the spirituality expressed in the news stories, features, columns and editorials.

We Catholics have a wonder­ful resource in our unique press. ;Where e]se could you. see "Terms of Endearment" assailed, for ex­ample? I would be dismissed as a crank for ripping the movie in the secular me~ia.

Thank God for the Cathoiic press. I believe that if American culture gets reformed, the in­spiration must come from the church and the churc~ press. I can't imagine from where else. Can you?

Frozen embryos condemned

VATICAN CITY (Nq - The frozen embryo method of initia­ting pregnancy, implantation of a frozen human embryo in a womb after in vitro fertilization, was condemned in an April 18 editorial in the Vatican news­paper, L'Osservatore Romano.

The editorial said the method involves masturbation and arti­ficial insemination of humans, activities pr~viously condemned by the church.

In vitro fertilization involves removing eggs from a woman and fertilizing them in f:I. labora­tory.

The editorial commented on the recent birth in Australia of Baby Zoe, the wOllld's first fto­2lenembt;yobaiby;Xt wa.swdt­ten by Itan¢iscanlather GI,no 'Col1cetti,a 'theOlo,glan. who W:iI':i:tesrreqentl!~in.[;~Os$erva.

couples' desire to have child.ren, but.it must be stressed ithatnot everything one desires is tight and not even scientific progress can make it so," said the editor­ial. ,­

"What matters most is not that , a child is obtained, but that it

is obtained in a human manner," it added.

"Can the end alone justify an act, masturbation, which in anY case is considered illicit by Cath­olic moraHty?" said the editorial.

~eanwhile Melbourne re­searchers resp,onsible fol,' the fro­zen embryo birth said they will begin impregnating other women with donllted frozen embryos.

Dr. Linda Mohr, a member of the Monash University in vitro fertiHzatlonteam. told the Asso­ciatedPress AprH18 that 200 frozenembl'yos are avaihlble for the implantation.

Before leaving "the U.S. he hopes to attend the annual Catholic Preas Association ·con. vention in Chicago. Beforebis Rome appointment was an,­nounced, he was about to be elected president of the associa­tlon,an organi~ationof U.S.. and Canadian publications.

The newly named Vatican of­ficial declined' to spell out an agenda. fior hls new job or pre­

appointment caught him by sur­prise and he does not ye.t know enougbabout the 'c,ommissionito

,make advance decisions,he said. The archbishop-elect did

speak, however, about his 'phil­osophy of communications' and' church relations wltb the news media and abOut the attitudes he will catry into his job.

Concerning frequent press complaints about Vatlean,'se­

.crecy,he said he favors giving reporters as much information as possible.

,"Mygener8ilprindpl'e. is that we're always bound fo tell the troth. To deceive, would be im­moral -and also self-defeating," be said.

He noted, however, that in certain cases, such as some it'e­cent controversies about Vatican financial dealings, there may be "lega)'reasons" for not'making public statement about specific issues involved.

In difficult controvel'sieslitmay Il'lsohappen that no one knows enough about the situation to comment publicly, he said.

Asked .if .hewouldfavoropen. ing major meetings at the Vat:i~ can to the press, Archbishop­elect Foley said he had "no ob-. jection to meetings being open to 'the, press." .

When he was the Vatican's English-'language press" liaison for Pope John Paul II's 1979 triplo Jrre.larld and the 'UnIted' States, fellow journalists on. the papal plane said they were im­pressed with his efforts to an­swer,qJ,lestionsol' obta.inlnfar­mation for them.

At the 1980 World Synod of Bishops, at which he was again English·language liaison,be was noted' for his openness.

.Journalists who did not speak English often checked with the inglish·speaking press corps to leaI'ttwhat Msgr; li'aley reported in his press briefings. Since he is also reasonably 'fluent fn Italian, French and' SpanisQ, re­.porters ,of other ~snID1ages·also

frequently asked him directly for assistance.

But Archbishop-elect Foley, who for years was also a pi-ess

. aide for .national' .meetings of theU~S.bisbOps,saidthat ·open. ing meetings ,to the press can be a mixed blessing. When the U.S. bishops had closed meeting$,he sai'd, the only thJrlgs .he did:not report to journalists at the press briefings were the discussions explicitly off the record - and iibose,wer:eeonsideJ::ably fewer than ,the matters covered intbe off·the-record executive sessions

,now a regular feature of the bishops' meetings.

The archbishop-elect, who covered the Second Vatican Council as a .reporter said that eonciHarbriefings<:ouldsetve as a model for Vatican communi­cations. During the meeting, he said, there were daily press brief· .1ng&lst whichrepOJlleFS.were given factual summaries of What had taken place. In the after­noons the U.S. bishops followed ,,-,p with another pxessoonferenee at whiCh experts offered their analysis of the meaning and im­plications of the events.

Asked if he would favor an occasionalpapalpxess confer­ence, A1'I¢hbi$hop-electl'101ey sal'ef' he did not know.

"This Holy Father could cer­tainly handle himself very wel,l" with bisflueney h'lseveral lang" uages and his grasp of the is­sues, he ·said. "But I would hate to' see the papacy tri~ialized by questions wbichmay be ephe­meral' or perhaps by question­ing people who don't have an adequate background."

Thefllndamerlta:1 I'~'eof the Pontifical Commission for Social Communications is "evangeliza­tion in aU its aspects, making kn0wntbe goodnews of the Gospel," said Archbishop-elect Foley.

with NC New~ reports

"Our people are different from your people . . . they have little human hope and (we have) few graduates," humanitarian Jean Vanier told Catholic educa­tors at last week's Nationa'! Cath­olic Educational Association con­vention in Boston.

But Vanier, the keynote speaker and founder of rArche, an international movement of­fering care and lifetime security to mentally handicapped adults, added "Both we and you are shepherds, wanting to bring peo­ple to growth and fulfillment."

Vanier, son of a former gov­ernor general of Canada and holder of a doctorate in philoso­phy from ,the Catholic Institute of Paris, said operation of his homes was based on the Gospel and the beatitudes.

"The more I live with the' handicapped, the more I discover' of primitive human nature," he declared. "They reveal to' us what we are in the deepest part of our beings."

Stressing the primacy of love, Vanied said that the unloved child, "so fragile," is in danger of death. He defined love as

, "trusting people to do things and to grow" and listed among its characteristics "to,delight in an­other and to waste time with an­other," Just as, he added, to pray is "to waste time with Jesus."

Vanier told the story of Eric, a blind and deaf l'Arche resident with whom workers could com­municate only by touch. "He awoke my heart and gave me life," he said, noting that Eric had a similar effect on many who worked with him.

"Those who come to I'Arche may want to serve the poor but must first discover that they ,themselves are poor - we must discover the Eric within our­selves," he said. '

"We cannot understand the mercy of God unless we've touched our own brokenness," he continued. "Otherwise we speak'to Eric from a pedestal and cannot enter into a true relation­ship with him.

"In my community," he said to the educators, "what atten­tion do I give to the littlest and weakest? Are they a problem or do we love them? Do we push

people to success or awaken their deepest value - the capacity to love?" '

The world will only continue, Vanier warned, "if many rise up with hearts of compassion." As disciples of Jesus, educators "are called to equip our people to take their place in the struggle against evil, oppression, anguish, destruction and despair," he said.

In the second part of his key­note address Vanier said that in­,stead of talking about big issues and causes, people need to know that a way to work for peace is "to 'live with difference" and to do liftle things.

He asked the educators to work for peace in their class­rooms and to teach their students to be peacemakers.

"We have to learn to accept and love the differences in the community," such as the differ­ences betw~n man and woman, rich and poor, parents and child­ren, those 'in authority and those who have no authority, Vanier said.

JEAN VANIER

But although differences must be honored, Vanier admitted they cause pain.

Difference makes people feel threatened and insecure and "when we are threatened we put ourselves on a pedestal and con­demn."

This insecurity causes people to become elitist, he said, and refuse to listen to others for fear of revealing flaws in them­selves. Such teachers and par­ents become tyrants, he said.

Diocesan Partlclpants Diocesan participants in - the

convention which drew over

15,000 delegates and sprawled over nine Boston hotels, includ­ed Father Robert, S. Kaszynski, who discussed evangelization in the school community, drawing on his experience at his parochial, school, St. Stanislaus in Fall River; Dennis R. Poyant, princi­pal of 51. Mary's School, New Bedford, who contributed to a 'panel on ,the place· of the lay teacher oradminstrator in the Catholic school; and Michael J. Tabak, director of development at Coyle-cassidy High School, Taunton, a panelist on the ·sub. Ject of high school development plans.

Tabak explained Coyle.(;as. sidy's, unique problem of meld­ing three previously existing schools into one institution while retaining the loyalty of three alumni groups, plus alumni of the "new" school.

He stressed' importance of co· operation with ,local media and noted that constant school pub­licity has increased enrollment. He also said that alumni ap­preciate news of teachers known

, to them, citing the case of Sis­ter Vera Herbert, SUSC, 77, a longtime and very popular fac­ulty 'member.

"Alumni were thrilled to hear she was sHU at Coyle-cassidy," said Tabak.·

The development director also noted the success of the school's current capital funds campaign and' offered pointers on directing such an undertaking.

Other Programs

In other convention progra~s,

in keeping with the meeting's theme, "Freedom Our Heritage - Peace Our Challenge" educa­tors heard talks on nuclear dis­armament, on peace education in the classroom, and on the U.S. bishops' 1983 pastoral letter, "The ChaUenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response."

Reports were also given on the needs and achievements of Catholic secondary schools, the values of Catholic school teachers and how effective Catholic schools operate.

President Reagan, in a tele­gram April 24, pledged to the educators that he will work for peace and the eventual elimina­tion of nuclear and chemical weapons.

High court agrees WASHINGTON' (Ne) - The

U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a Michigan case involv­ing a public-private schools ar­rangement which allows public school teachers to teach special classes to parochial school stu­dents in parochial school class­

rooms. The case in an appeal by Michigan officials of lower court rulings that the "shared-time" system is a violation of the con­stitutional separation of chureh and state. At issue are shared.­time classes, many offered dur­ing regular school hours, and similar "community education" classes, offered during non­school periods. '

dential judgments on specific is­sues such as "no first use," they are to give "serious attention and consideration" to the bish­ops' views in forming their own consciences.

- Realism demands recogni­tion of Soyiet repression and., the threat of Soviet power, but it also demands recognition that there are "irreducible" mutual interests which can serve as a common basis for negotiations.

- Because true peace must be based on justice and the pro­tection of human rights, U.S. political and economic policies must be aimed at rpeeting the needs of the world's poor and promoting just international sys­tems favoring development. The U.S. should be more supportive of the United Nations and work for a wOJ'lld order in which con­,f1icts between nations can be peacefully resolved.

- The church's theological traditions of a just war and nonviolence are distant but com­plementary. Each contributes to !lIe full moral vision needed to pyrsue peace. While peace is understood in a varie\y of ways in Scripture,. the Bible stin pro­vides a. unique source of revela­tion on war and peace issues.

- Prayer and penaJ)ce are es­sential elements of peace, and· U.S. Catholics I;lre urged to pray, and do penance for peace especi­ally on Fridays throughout the year.

- Catholics in various pro­fessions and .states of life have different responsibilities in pro­moting peace. Those in ,the mili­tary are involved in preserving peace in a special way and must maintain highmora,l standards in their profession.

- Parishes and dioceses should carry out educational pro­grams to promote better under­standing of war and peace is­sues by all Catholics.

BRIEFLY NOTED

Never the same ATLANTA (NC) - "We will

never be the same again as a nation" because of the Rev. Martin Luther King's prophetic voice for racial justice, Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago told a packed congregation at Dr. King's old church In Atl"pta. Dr. King's vision today might be directed against the "distorted priorities" of military security, and there is a·"direct link" be­tween his vision and the U.S. bishops' war and peace pastoral, the cardinal said at an obser­vance honoring King's birthday.

Much is needed WASHINGTON (NC) - The

Testifying ,at a hearing in the basement of a new emergency shelter for the homeless six ,blocks from the Capitol, Bishop Marino said the respoqse to the homeless "must be more than helping them just find a roof over their .heads and food for their stomachs,"

The bishops accused Sandinista officials of "equating the state with the party, which creates an absolute dictatorship,'\'

Hidden dangers WASHINGTON (NC)

School fingerprinting programs hav~ hidden dangers, including the possibility that the prints may be misused, law experts at Catholic University of America have warned. Many school sys­tems and police departments are collecting children's fingerprints for identificatibn if the child is kidnapped. If the prints are kept at the police department or school, they could be used with­out the parents' knowledge should a question regarding the child's activities arise, said William Kaplin, professor of law.

vanni Battista- Judica-Cordiglia, an Italian scientist, has perform­ed experiments which he says ex­plain how the image of a man, believed to be Jesus Christ, could have been created on the Shroud of Turin by lightning.

L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily newspaper, reo ported his theories April_II.

Judica-Cordiglia said that he believes a lightning bolt struckthe burial cloth 2,000 years ago,creating a negative photographic image.

The scientist said he has con. ducted experiments with elec. tricity to recreate what he be­lieves were ~he conditions which caused .the Image of a ma~ to ,be impnnted on the 14-foot piece

' of'linen believed by many Chris­tians to be 'the shroud in which the body of the crucified Christ was wrapped.

A lightning bolt striking the shrouded body of. Christ could! have caused the hoen to react like photographic paper and to remain imprinted with a negative image, he said.

He added that the oilS' and creams used to annoint the dead body could have helped create the image by changing the chemistry of the linen cloth.

To recreate the conditions in his laboratory, Judica-Cordiglia used 90,000 volts of electricity to create the image of an anoint­

ed and linen-wrapped human hand on a piece of cloth.

For centurieS" scientists have argued about how an image of a man was imprinted on the shroud. The image shows marks on the body where Scripture says that Christ was wounded during his crucifixion. •

Many scientists have conduct­ed experiments which they have said prove that the brownish cloth dates from the time of Christ and came from the region of the Holy Land where Christ lived. They have added that it is impossible scientifically to prove whose image is on the cloth.

The shroud! was brought to Europe in the Middle Ages and was the property of Italy's now­exiled royal family, who housed it in the cathedral ot Turin, Italy, Last year the family gave ownership of the shroud to Pope John Paul II but it has remained in Turin.

Beth K's small business in Weymouth was proving far more successful than she had ever hoped. With' orders coming in ,. as fast as she could write them and her workforce doubling in mere months, Beth desired larger quarters for the business. Recognizing that addi­tional sources of financing would be needed, Beth sought a bank loan to fund this move.

Beth's story is quite common. If you are the 'owner ofa small business, you have probably con­sidered obtaining a loan from a

WASHINGTON (NC) .:- Right behirid the religiously divisive· issues of U.S.-Vatican diplomatic

.relations and organized prayer in public schools, another hot question steals onto the national scene: Proposed congressional legisla:tion to move the U.S. em­bassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. .

/ Gathering momentum since it

was discussed at a Senate For­eign Relations Committee hear­ing in late February, the move­the-embassy bandwagon now in­cludes more than 200 members of' Congress; Democratic presi­dential hopefuls Walter Mondale and Gary Hart; and' members of the Jewish cornnlunity. But ob­stacles are being 'scattered in the path 0 fthe movement by Presi-' dent Reagan 'an~ Secretary of State George :Shultz, wlio" as op­ponents of the idea,are on the same' side as the U.S. Catholic Conference and Arab-Americans.

The ,bilI would "require that the' United States embassy in Is­rael be located in the city of Je~salem.'· '

The proposal's main sponsor in the Senate l is Daniel ·Patrick M()ynihan, a Catholic and Demo­crat from New ·York. The House version's leading sponsors are Reps. Tom Lantos, D-Calif., and Benjamin Gilman, R-N.Y., both

. Jewish. Those who favor a change of

address for the embassy (geo­graphically, a move of 'about 40 miles) say it will r~flect the real­ity of Jerusalem as· the capital

Obtaining· a small business loan bank or similar lending, institu­tiol\. When seeking. any such loan, however, there are some simple but useful considerations. you should keep in mind. \

In deciding which lending in­stitution to use, you should shop around first, just as you would

. for any Jll8jor purchase. Before selecting a 'lending institution you should consider many fac­tors. The policies of these insti­mtions vary, so you should look for one that best- suits your needs. . , .

The most basic question in discussirig 'toans is: What will it cost? Interest rates and other

. terms may differ from bank'to bank. A good source of informa­tion about these terms is other local business owners. Check with them to get an idea about current rates and what deals they have obtained from specific banks. A little homework· can save you a lot of money.

There is, of course, more than the bottom-line cost of financing

'to examine. You should consider the bank's available,serVices and locations. For example, Beth found that payroll processing and, a night depository were ~s-sential to her. Identify the ser­vices that' are important to you and look' for, a bank that offers them.

Another area 'of concern has to do with the particular charac­teristics of the bank. An early consideration should be the gen­eral lending' policy of the insti­tution. Does the bank ordinarily grant loans on reasonable terms to small businesses? Is it favor­able to small business?

Other policy factors may also be key. Beth, for example, sought a ,lender who would be willing to finance her accounts receivable through short-term loans. '

Some borrowers believe that .the size of an institution is an important factor. You should seek a lender large enough to meet ,your current ·needs and future growth..without being too big to take an ,interst in your business' future.

A baDk's reputation Is also a characteristic worth examining. Your bank can be a useful source of business contacts. You never know who you'll meet while waiting in one of those long lunch hour lines to see a teller. In addition, affiliation with a civ.ic-minded institution may help bring some of the community's goodwill to, your bUsiness. A bank with a sound reputation is more' likely to' br.ing you these benefits.

Finally, it may be desirable if the bank has some knowledge of your type of business in order to provide additional aid to you.

Once you have chosen your bank, you should be prepared to discuss your loan application with a bank officer.

The, bank wiU be. looking for basic facts and figures about your business in determining ;whether to give you a loan. Be prepared to present your possi­ble lender' with recent balance sheets, sales and profit projec­tions, income statements and other financial information.

It may be helpful to project a confident attitude when pre­senting this material. This may favorably influence the lender in analyZing the merits of your application. .

When the time comes to bar­gain over the terms and condi­tions .of your loan, there are cer­tain items in the loan'agreement of which you should be acutely aware:

Default Provisions are very important as they describe the forbidden actions and conditions that can cause your loan to be

',immediately due in full. A Grace Period is sought by

many borrowers to enable them to cure defaults. This provides a stated number of days in

of Israel and show support for Israel.

"Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and we should stop pre­tending it's not," -Lantos said.

Initially, after the 1947 parti­tion of what had been British Palestine, Tel Aviv was the capi­tal of Israel. However,' by 1950, after the 1948 war with Arab states, Israel had begun regard­ing the western portion of Jeru­salem which it controlled as its capital. East Jerusalem remained in Jordanian control until the 1967 war and the international commuhity continued to focus its attention on Tel Aviv as Israel's diplomatic ,headquarters. Then:'in 1980, Israel underscored the ini~ portance' it places on Jerusaiem by dectaring the undivided city its "eternal 'capital.'!'

'The U.S. Conference believe's that moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would erode already shaky chances for peace in the Middle East.

Testifying before. the Senate Foreign 'Relations Committee, Father J. Bryan Hehir, secretary~ designate if th,e USCe's Depart-' ment of Social Development and World Peace, linked the USCC's views to the Vatican's position.

Moving the embassy would be "unwise", and would "endanger rather than enhance the pursuit of a peaceful solution" to Middle East conflict, Father Hehir said.

The Holy See has urged uni-' fication of Jerusalem but opposes any I unilateral moves and be­lieves debate over the city should ' involve' other concerned nations because of Jerusalem's unique

" . '. '.' ;;

position as a site holy to Chris­tians and Moslems as weB as Jews.

Father Hehir also took note of the "delicate issues" of the Jeru­salem question because of "strong and significant bonds" between Ainerica's Catholics and Jews.

Much Jewish sentiment favors relocation of the embassy.,

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Or­ganizations has termed the loca­tion of the embassy in Tel Aviv an "irrational situation" which "must now end."

That group described as "grati­fying" Mondale's support for moving the embassy and praised

a recent statement by Hart that he will vote for the' Moynihan bilI if it reaches the Senate floor.

The White House and, State Department are unhappy. about ideasto move the, embassy. Rea­gan has indicated he may veto the bill if it passes. .

One reason the administration cites is fear of a' bloody reprisal by Middle East terrorist groups against American civilians and diplomatic personnel if the em­bassy is moved. Even moderate Arab nations and other states with significant Moslem popula­tions reportedly have warned U.S. officials of their inability to protect Ainericans from such attacks.

Other reasons given by the ad­

which you may alleviate any situations that would otherwise constitute a default. Such a pro­vision will enable you to avoid any trouble arising from such problems as the late delivery of a payment.

Representations and Warran­ties are those promises you make to the bank regarding your business operations. You should carefully examine these repre­sentations for accuracy. Making a false representation or war­ranty may constitute a default.

Waivers. Loan agreements sometimes include a provision under which you agree to waive your right to a hearing in court if you default. Such a provision may be undesirable as it elimin-. ates one protection you would otherwise have 1n the event of, a misunderStanding regarding your loan.

In general, carefully read the proposed loan agreement and raise any objections, qualifica­tions or questions before you sign. If necessary, seek the ad~

Cardinal c~itiqu~ liberation, theologies VATICAN _CITY (NC) - Car­

dinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, told a ~ress conferenc? here, that ~hl1e some .~~eolo~les of hbe!a­tlon are legitimate, those which e~brace M~st analysis as a ~ ~mver~al guide should be re-Jected.

The press conference was held to' review a meeting in Bogota, Colombia between doctrine con­gregation officials and represen­

. tatives of the Latin American bishops' conferences.

While some, expressions of liberation ,theology are "fully legitimate: even necessary," said the German cardinal, "others

are open to criticism," while still 'others are "in the final analysis, . unacceptable."

Cardinal Ratzinger criticized branches of liberation theology which "use Marxist analysis as a scientific instrument to inter­pret not only 'history ,and social and economic· reality, but also the Bible and the Christian message. i, '

Only bishops were inv!ted to the Bogota ,meeting, the congre­gation head said, "so as·. to un­derline tbil proper responsibility of the ep,iscopal order, above all on doctrinal matters - a re­sponsibility which cannot be delegated."

Other topics discussed at the

Bogota meeting were relations between bishops and religious; cooperation between bishops and theologians; ecumenism; pastor­

.al 'i~sues such as catechesis and .liturgy; and moral problems such as violence and abortion.

Regarding ecumenism, Car­dinal Ratzinger said relationships between the Catholic Church and other large Christian denom­inations are good but that "the situation is not so easy w.lth regard to the relations with numerous minor sects which are very active in Latin America, with generous finances at their disposal and pledged at the mo­ment to an intensive work of proselytism." .

13 Free education a must in Malta

By NC News Service The Parliament of Malta has

passed by one vote a controver· sial bill allowing the Socialist government to take over private secondary schools which do not offer free education, according to press reports.

The bill provides that all sec­ondary education in the tiny Mediterranean country be free beginning next fall and that if private schools charge fees, the government will assume running of the schools at the expense of their owners.

Virtually all Maltese private schools are Catholic and Catho­lics form 91 percent of the 370,000 population.

Government officials said the measure is aimed at implement· ing a party pledge to make equal education opportunities available to all children.

Earthquake hits Assisi sites

ASSISI, Italy (NC) - The Ba­silica of St. Mary of the Angels, which houses the Portiuncula. the small chapel called the "cradle of the Franciscan order," was among sites damaged by a series of earthquake tremors which struck Assisi and neigh-' boring ,towns April 29.

The Franciscans were founded in 1209 by St. Francis of Assisi.

The Basilica of St. Francis al­so was shaken by the tremors, but the Giotto frescoes on the basilica walls did not appear damaged.

Also damaged were San Ruf­fino and St. Mary Major, two other Assisi churches, and the Shrine of Rivotorto, a church outside Assisi built on the site where St. Francis lived when he wrote the Franciscan rule.

'Great victory' CHICAGO (NC) - A' federal

The archdiocese issued only a' brief statement expressing "dis­appointment at the decision" and saying that it was "taking fur­ther appeal under advisement." Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin of Chicago had 30 days after the verdict to decide whether to ap­peal.

Imprimatllrs removed from two boo){s By NC News Service

Archbishop Raymond G. Hunt­hausen of Seattle has re~oved

his imprimatur _from the book "Sexual Morality," by Sulpician Father Philip S. Keane, at the re­quest of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, the archbishop an­nounced April 24. The book is published by PauHst Press.

A statement by the Archdio­cese of Seattle said the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith informed the arch­bishop that "an imprimatur is to be granted only to those works which completely agree with of­ficial church teaching." '

"I am bound in conscience to withdraw f my imprimatur from Father Keane's book because it does not meet the necessary re­quirements as these are presently set forth by the congregation," Archbishop Hunthausen said.

The imprimatur is an official declaration that a book is free of doctrinal or moral error, but does not imply that the person ,giving the imprimatur agrees with the contents, opinions or statements in the book.

Father Thomas Herron, an Am­erican staff member of the doc­trinal congregation, told NC News in Rome that the fact that "Sexual Morality" carried an im­primatur could have been taken "as meaning that the book could be used for catechetical pro­grams and that it represented official Catholic teaching faith­fully."

The removal of ,the imprima­tur, he said, does not mean that the book cannot be read, for ex­ample, in a seminary course, but "it certainly means that ,the book should not be used as a textbook, that it should not be taken as 'a compendium of Catholic theo­logy."

The Vatican congregation's request was the second made public since April 16. At that time the congregation asked that "Christ among Us," ,by Anthony T. Wilhelm, a top-seHing cate­

chetical work also published by print of the work in the future.' Paulist Press, be withdrawn from "In view of these decisions by circulation, and Newark Arch· church authorities, Paulist Press bishop Peter L. Gerety withdraw is suspending circulation of his imprimatur from the work. 'Christ Among Us' and has so

Businessman-priest dead at 91 DALLAS, (NC) Msgr.

Arthur C. Hughes, 91, a business­man-turned-priest who was or­dained at 76 through a special papal dispensation which waived seminary training, died April 13.

At the time of his death Msgr. Hughes was assistant adminis­trator at St. Jude Chapel, a downtown Dallas chapel and Catholic information center which was dedicated in 1968 after then-businessman Hughes spearheaded the drive which netted the $320,000 needed to build it.

Even after he was ordained in Dallas later in 1968 he main­tained his business ties, juggling duties as vice president of a beer and sports shoes distribu· ting company with, his priestly ministry.

Msgr. Hughes was a convert to Catholicism at 21. He in­structed more than 100 converts and talked to hundreds more about the Catholic faith.

His philanthropic efforts, no­tably the Arthur C. Hughes Foundation, helped hundreds of young men and women to ob­tain a college education or to

study for the priesthood. He opened his home to several homeless boys over the years.

The youngest of nine children. he had wanted to study for the priesthood early in life, but was advised that his' obligation to his parents should be fulfilled first. Never married, he cared for his parents until their deaths.

Well, at that time life was vastly different. Drugs were not easily obtaiJiable; and another phrase, "extramarital sex," hadn't even bee~ coined.

pay for dreaming." There's no doubt that dreams are important, for they provide ,the vision that helps expand our perspective. Yet dreams are risky for they can heighten expectations. While you shouldn't back off from dreams, you need to be careful of unrealistic expectations.

Love flourishes in a climate of dialogue. It's unfair to the other person not to discuss ex-' pectations.

Sometimes, however,' sharing hopes can cause a person to realize that ,the other doesn't hold the same expectation's. But trying, to work through such dis­

. appointments can lead to love being given more realisticaUy. Continuing dialogue enhances the potential for future growth in a relationship. Love builds on hon­esty, acceptance and respect of another's needs.

My comments don't address the song's question: "How am I supposed to live without you?" I suspect that. one reason the song did so well is that many people can identify with this situation. . Getting over the hurt involved ·in a broken relationship is im­portant in going on to love others. Therefore, I would like to invi~e you to share your re­sponse to the question. I will in­clude some of your answers in future columns.

Pope urges confession VATICAN CITY (NC) -Con- .

fession is an important means to conversion, said- Pope John Paul II during a recent general audience in St. Peter's Square.

Speaking to more than 60,000 persons who stood in the rain, the pope said that while people do not have to rely solely on confession for the forgiveness of venial sins, they still should go ,to confession often because "the fruitful reception of sacramental confession offers us the grace of conversion, helps us to grow in humble awareness of our need for pardon, and brings us to a greater trust in God, who is rich in mercy."

Venial sins also may be for­given though reception of the Eucharist, according to church teaching.

The pope cited church teaching that the normal means of for­giveness for serious sin is through reception of the sacra7 ment of reconciliation.
