FALL RIVER - The 2000 Catholic Charities Ap­, peal for the Fall River diocese reached $1.5 million a

week after it had opened and "It's full steam ahead,"says Msgr. Thomas J. Harrington, director of the cam­paign,

"This is a great first step," Msgr. Harrington said,as The Anchor readied to go to press. "But we've lotsof work ahead of us ifwe hope to meet theneeds contained inthe budgetary re­quests for our manyapostolates and in­stitutions."

The annualspring campaign l.flStyear exceeded $3.17million, an increase of9.1 percent over the1998 total.

One way in which ex­citement is generated aboutthe Appeal is the cultivation ofa friendly rivalry between neighboring parishes.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the town ofDartmouth where two of the flourishing parishes inthe diocese are located. St. Mary's in South Dartmouth,or Padanaram Village, is the older of the two. WhenSt. Julie Billiart Parish was established some 30 yearsago in North Dartmouth, the competition was kindled.

The late Father John F. Hogan, founding pastor ofSt. Julie's, and his counterpart, the late Msgr. Arthur

G. Considine, who built the beautiful St. Mary's, al­ways strove for the upper hand, recalls Msgr.Harrington.

Father Hogan and Msgr. Considine were succeededby another pair of smiling rivals, the late Msgr. Patrick1. O'Neill at St. Julie's, and the late Father Walter A.Sullivan at St. Mary's.

"During their pastor­ates the rivalry inDartmouth continued,and if anything, grewmore intense," saidMsgr. Harrington.Currently, FatherBrian J. Harringtonin the NorthDartmouth parish andFather Terence F.

Keenan in Padanaramcontinue the spirit of

competition.According to Msgr.

Harrington, Father Keenan con-fides that returns for theAppeal sim­

ply reflect the great generosity of his flock. Howeverreports abound that Father Harrington has been knownto encourage his parishioners to make sure they sur­pass their fellow townsfolk from the South Dartmouth.community of faith.

By CATHOUC NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON - By one measure, Bridgeport,Conn., is just 50 miles from New York City.

By another measure, the Diocese of Bridgeport,with 88 parishes and 361,000 Catholics, is a worldaway from the Archdiocese of New York, which has2.4 million very diverse Catholics in 413 pari~hes.

But according to a number of his fellow U.S. bish­ops, Archbishop Edward M. Egan is just the man tobridge the differences.

He was named ninth archbishop of New York May11, after serving 12 years as bishop of Bridgeport. Hesucceeds the late Cardinal John J. O'Connor who diedMay 3 after an eight-month battle with brain cancer.

FATIMA, Portugal - Pope John Paul II, ordering the pub­lication of the so-called "third secret of Fatima," believes partof it was a direct reference to the 1981 attempt on his life, saidthe Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano.

Cardinal Sodano, the highest-ranking official of the RomanCuria, said that the 80-year-old pope asked him to make "thesolemn announcement" of the secret's contents at the end ofthe pope's May 13 Mass in Fatima, 19 years to the day afterthe assassination attempt. .

StudIes repeatedly confirm thatpriests 'receive enormous satisfac"

.tion from celebrating' the Mass.Two components of the Mass es­pecially give life to' priests: thehomily and confecting the Eucha­rist.

Most priests tell us that whatenergiies them most is·me.ditat­ing on the readings for the Mass;gaining new'insights into God'sword, converting these insightsinto contemporary images thatgrab people and culminating' thiswith the. Eucharist. :They wouldadd that the praise they receivewhen a· good homily hits homenot only makes their day, it ener­gizes them for weeks.

The rewards that come frombeing close to the Word of Godand the Eucharist, and feeling theirawesome effect on others, arepowerful energizers. When thesesources of energy are missing, sois a principal part of a priest's life.

I believe that what is killingpries~s today is the absence of timefor meditation to fully develop theliturgical heart of their ministry.This is happening because priestsare letting themselves, Gonsciously

.or unconsciously, get caught up

CATHOUC NEWS SERVICE·

The news'specials on the deathof Cardinal John O'Connor OfNew York, along with the April29 edition of America magazine,left me feeling that not only wasthe cardinal being commended toOQct; .but so was the priesthood:

One television network startedwith a review of CardinalO'ConnQr's life and then abruptly

'switched to the topic ofthe.priest­hood sho'rtage. A number oflengthy articles in the New YorkTimes didthe same thing. And ina recent article, "Are We KillingOur Priests?",'Norbertine FatherFrancis Dorff argued that priestsare killing themselves because ofunreasonable demands being puton them by the Church and bythemselves. .

I believe 'that the barrage ofnews on the demise of the priest­hood is going to continue as long~s the priesthood statistics con­tinue to decline. This growingproblem is calling for answers totough questions. Where do priestsfind their greatest satisfaction, andwhat must happen to keep thatsati~faction,level high?

.. ' ,;' - Much of the'media"simply.ignoresdeveloping'data~concerniIig., '.. the· effect- of abortion; Our secular society' has become: impervious

'.' ", . 'to abortion:and the fallout such a procedure has in the· lives of so.." ' many people..The .story ofabortion's other side is really not being, ~" told. And, it· shollldbe, not simply from a spiritual point of·view

but 'also from proven'psyc~ological and physical implications.A recent research'~study on this subject revealed spme very

interesting data. Women who' have' had abortions are at a greaterrisk of suffering emotional trauma,' which on a psychological plane·would reduce .their ability to cope with work and sleep. It was alsonoted that'postabortion women are more likely to engage in drugs

'.' and alcohol abuse: This of course would limit their ability to func­tion in the workplace. Active behavior also is known to limit thepossibilities of meaningful and healthy relationships.

It'should be noted that repeat abortions are on the rise. Thereare 1.6 million abortions a year; 56 percent are first abortions; 44percent are second or more. Studies have shown that· some womenundergo repeat abortions as an act' of ".self-punishment" often withgrave negative implications. An increasing number are develop­ing real physical health problems" especially with breast cancer.'Women who carry their first baby to term cut their chances of thisdisease almost in half. Women 'who' abort their first pregnancyalmost double their chance or" breast cancer. With two or moreabortions there is a corresponding increase. More studies. in thisarea confirm the correlation bet'ween the increase risk of breastcancer and abortions. In our efforts to eliminate this disease shouldwe not also attempt to negate abortions?

Postabortion women have greater difficulty in establishing ahealthy relationship with a male partner. Multiabortions by oneperson are solid indications that she simply will continut:: to gothrough many self-destructive affairs. Emotional and'psychologi­cal problems increase at an alarming rate. Concept of self-respectbecomes vague and often irrational.

Our Internet social order is not addressing this issue. Money isthe name of the game. Life is not our central concern. Our elec­tronic world is becoming dehumanizing. The value of the personmeans very little in the world of robots. Abortions and the corre-

. sponding consequences have been set aside as a given; it's part ofour culture. Well, it is not.

The Church has taught staunchly, much' to the chagrin of oth­ers, that it's the human being that counts and tre individual rightto life in all its multifaceted stages must be protected. The inalien­able right to life of every human person is a constitutional dementof civil society from the moment of conception to natural death.Those who oppose this fact fail to recognize that these humanrights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents, ·theybelong to human nature ,and are. inherent in the person:. When thisis denied, then the consequences are dire. Too many babies"have'been murdered and too many women are suffering grievous ·rami-fications in the name of personalchoice. . . ' '

, As a nation, we are pursuing so many areas of life \vith cancerprevention and mental health programs. If we are honest aboutthese endeavors' we must:take tirile,'and review the many ·studiesthat indicate a correlation between abortion, breast cancer andmental illness. People must be educated in this regard. Scare'tac-

'tics have little effect Abortion does qot eliminate problems, it sim­ply eliminates people. The problematic ',aftereffects of abortionmust surface if we believe in preyentive medicine. It is not just amatter of law and right; it is' a 't6ncern::for the survival and well- .being of people. Human life is a pr~cious gift. To view it other.,wise serves only to encoudlge 'the "even' greaier evils whiCh' ulti-'mately lead to self-destructivism.

It was those same convictionsthat had led Chaplain O'Connor toput his life on the line bringing thesacraments to men and women inharm's way, and that compelled the"archbishop of the capital of theworld" (as Pope John Paul II oncedescribed him) to overcome hisshyness and become a compellingpublic personality. As the WallStreet Journal put it nicely, JohnJoseph O'Connor "was not 'tem­pering' his theology. He was living"it."

VATICAN CITY - Educat­ing young people is more than justa profession, Pope John Paul IItold the Christian Brothers.

"It is a mission, which consistsof helping all people to recognizethey are irreplaceable and unique,so that they can grow and developfully," the pope said in a messageto U,S. Brother John Johnston,superior general of the Brothersof the Christian Schools.

The pope encouraged the or­der to continue its work in edu­cation and evangelization, "espe­cially of poor children and youthand of those experiencing diffi-culty." '

He urged the brothers to "be

John Joseph O'Connor had arichly-developed sense of theironic, So it must have bemusedthe late cardinal no end to find, inthe first several pews ofSt. Patrick'sCathedral during his May 8 funeral,numerous public figures with whomhe had done battle over the years,now professing with' their presencetheir admiration for the deceased.

~,c;!oubt ~hat he planned it thatway, but Boston's Cardi­nalBernard Law 'gentlyaddressed that irony when,in his homily, he remindedthe vast congregation thatCardinal O'Connor'slegacy was a CatholicChurch that is "unambigu­ously Pro-Life." The re-

sulting ovation began at L----------U~~the back of the cathedraland rolled forward, eventuallybringing everyone (including sev­eral hundred bishops) to their feet- with the exception of the presi­dent of the United States; his wife,the senatorial candidate; the' for­merly Pro-Life vice president; andMrs. Gore. They, too, finally stood,although they didn't applaud. Howcould they? An essential moralclarification about the life andlegacy of John Joseph O'Connor- and that legacy's relationship tothem - had just been made by thelate cardinal's hand-picked eulogist.

Cardinal Law's simple, effectivestatement was about the future aswell as the past. Being "unambigu­ously Pro-Life" was not a personalcrotchet of Cardinal O'Connor. Itwas and is the firm conviction ofthe Catholic Church, and it is notgoing tq go away. That convictionmay be traduced by some Catholicpoliticians or challenged by certainCatholic intellectuals, but it is notgoing to change. Ever. No matterwhat the New York Times thinksabout it.

Speaking of the Times, it was ina nasty mood after the cardinal'sdeath. In amean-spirited editorial,it deplored what it termedO'Connor's "strong-willed, conser-

bother you," but it did. Kennedy, now a 38-year-oldlawyer and father of two, s"itid firmly, "Never say to achild, 'You shouldn't feel that way.' My feelings werenever validated. People told me how brave I was, andparadoxically that isolated me. In the hospital my full­time job became to keep everybody cheered up.

"I was growing up in an Irish Catholic family, aculture where anger was unacceptable and sadness notallowed. The attitude was: Pull yourself up, and get

over it. If I cried, I knewI'd be letting everybodydown."

What a. burden thatwas for a child! Kennedysays today that it took himyears to "mourn his loss."Now he knows it's allright for a child to be an­gry over loss. "It's theweakling who keeps emo­

tions in. They're scared. It takes incredible strength toprocess these feelings and emotions, and not be afraidof what others might think."

Now he works to promote "value and dignity inevery life."

He also has learned the importance of acceptance.''The key to happiness is to live in the moment, toappreciate how, wonderful life is, to be able to staygrateful, not to be afraid of emotions: not· to intellec­tualize everything."

He speaks of how he. "can use the Kennedy nameto advance" his work for rights for the disabled, andfor promoting value and dignity in every life.

"We help others by the power ofexample. Becauseof what happened to me, I became sensitized to ascope of issues. There's a tremendous amount of workto do around the world."· ,

Christianity.Q. Is it still a law of th~ Chur~h that ev~ry

. Catholic should go to confession at least om;~ ayear, during the Easter time? I am 85 years young,and it seems to me many people do not do that(Indiana)

A. According to the "Catechism of the CatholicChurch" (1457), ·all Catholics are obliged to "con­fess serious sins" at least once a year. In those words,the catechism repeats canon law (989) and the Intro-

duction to the Rite of Pen-ance (34). .

In other words, the ob­ligation for at least annualreception of the sacramentof penance, which' goesback to the Fourth LateranCouncil in 1215, does notapply to those who are notaware of an unconfessedmortal sin.

In all these statements, the Church is not impos­ing a new obligation for confession, but simply pre­scribes a time within which mortal sins' should beconfessed so that, if for· no other reason, the Eucha­rist might be received.

Canon law requires Catholics to receive Com­munion at least once a year, during the Easter seasonunless a serious reason forces it to be done at anothertime.

It bears noting again that these laws deal with theminimum required. Obviously they in noway sug­gest or recommend that these sacraments be receivedonly once a year or that penanc~ be receiveq onlywhen one is conscious of serious sin.

The healing and strengthening graces of the sac­rament of penance are such that it, along with theEucharist, of course, should be a regular part of ourspilituallives as Catholics.

The BottomLine

For the past seven years, Jim Emswiler has con­ducted the National Conference on Loss and Transi­tion. After his wife died more than a decade ago, hecould find little help for himself and his two childrenin how to cope with the pain of this loss, and so hedecided to do something about it. He founded theNew England Center for Loss and Transition, and hasworked ever since to bring professionals together tolearn better how to help people, especially children,who are hurting.

This year, his keynotespeaker was Ted KennedyJr., who lost his leg frenncancer when he was 12.He is the son of Sen. TedKennedy of Mass.

The younger :Ken­nedy's story was riveting.He emphasized right off ....---------~L..L.......;__...J-Ithat his experience hadbeen a "transformingevent" that made him more com­passionate. It also brought him to his· life's work ofpromoting the 9isability rights movement to "enhancethe dignity of all" who are in any way disabled.

He told us how back in 1973, when he was playingfootball, "everything that touched my leg would hurtabnormally." His pediatrician said the swelling thathad developed below his knee was a calcium deposit.Before long, when the pain got excruciating, he wasbrought to the hospital for X-rays. The problem wascancer; his leg was removed the next day.

"When my dad told me, I was shocked and horri­fied. I couldn't imagine living without both my, legs:I remember thinking I'd rather die. It was a tremen­dous loss of self-esteem. I was incredibly embarrassedabout how I would look."

His family, trying to help, told him "Don't let it

Reincarnation.Q. I have a friend, a sincerely good person,

who strongly believeS in reincarnation. Can yousuggest any arguments that would dissuade herfrom this belief? (New York)

A. I doubt that there are any such arguments forpeople who genuinely embrace this sort of belief,because it isn't one that is arrived at by logic orreasoning in our usual meaning 9f those words.· Itcomes from a.whole other approach to spirituality, adifferent perspective for viewing life, God, and suchrealities as death andeternity.

Reincarnation is anancient idea, originatingin Asia and integratedinto Hindu thoughtaround 600 B.C. Ac­

.cording to this "doc­trine," all living beings,

.from plants to humanbeings and even gods,go through a continuous cycle ofdeaths and rebirths.

. By the law of "karma," which literally means ac­tion, the'condition of life at each rebirth depends onthe moral quality of actions in the previou's life.. Thebelief is predominant in Hinduism, Buddhism andother Eastem religions.

Today reincarnation is also a significant elementin at least some major branches of the New Agemovement in North America and Europe, which maybe where your friend made contact with it.

As I said, since belief in reincarnation does notresult from any systematic or structured theology, itis difficult to refute at that level. It is undoubtedly,however, entirely incoJ.l1patible with traditional Chris­tian and Catholic teaching.

For us Christians, death is a final, unrepeatableevent, unique for every human being. As the letter tothe Hebrews tells us, "It is appointed that humanbeings die once, and after this the judgment" (9:27).

As we read in the Gospel story of the rich manand the poor Lazarus, between those on this earthand those who have died lies a great chasm, overwhich no one may cross from one side to the other(Lk 16:26). .

This understanding ofthe conclusiveness ofdeath .has never been seriously questib.ned or challenged in

As a result, my sister overtime developed a similar aversionto misuse of the vernacular. And,interestingly enough, she has de­veloped her own abilities tolaunch "the look" to a degree herown children clearly find "hair­raising."

"As we begin a new century,Catholic education in America isstrong, vibrant and growing," hesaid in a statement.

At the end of April, during theannual NCEA convention, DeFioreannounced that enrollment inCatholic schools had increased dur­ing the past eight years and thatmore than 250 new schools havebeen built in the last decade.

The 'president also reportedstrong enrollment trends in Catho­lic colleges and universities andstrong religious education and semi­nary programs across the country.

Police officials have said get­ting a conviction in.this case with­out the priest's testimony may bedifficult.

bers of the John Carroll Society, a group of busi­ness and professional men and women in service tothe Archdiocese ofWashington, Weigel said the popewould want them to remember that every step theytake in their everyday lives is in mission territory.

.Recalling a sign he once saw'leaving a churchparking lot which read, "You are entering missionterritory," he said that summarizes the call of everyChristian to evangelize and to reflect Jesus' love intheir homes, workplaces and communities.

The new evangelization, he said, is not just thework of "priests and religious professionals alone"- it is the work of every Catholic.

Father Mentrup told local po­lice the evening of May 5 thatFinefrock had stabbed him, buthe advised police that because ofthe seal ofconfession he could notdiscuss the incident, saidMiddletown Police Chief BillBecker. Finefrock's bond was setat $25,000 with a preliminaryhearing on May 15.

The priest told police he willnot testify against Finefrock, cit­ing canon law, which forbids aconfessor "to betray in any way apenitent in words or in any man­ner and for any reason;"

"There are no eiceptions orloopholes" to the seal of confes­sion, said Dan Andriacco, com­munications director for the Cin­cinnati Archdiocese. Middletownis 32 miles north of Cincinnati.

DETROIT - Theologians of the 21 st cen­tury have much to learn from the pontificate ofPope John Paul II, the author of last year's highlyacclaimed papal biography told graduates of Sa­cred Heart Major Seminary.

George Weigel, whose "Witn'ess to Hope: TheBiography of Pope John Paul II" was published lastfall by HarperSanFrancisco, was commencementspeaker and received an honorary doctorate in Chris­tian letters from the seminary.

According to Weigel, a syndicated columnist andsenior fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Cen­ter in Washington, the first lesson theologians canlearn from the life and teachings of Pope John PaulII is that "doctrine is liberating."

"In the biblical view of reality, truth binds andfrees at the same time," he said. "This is a difficultnotion for our contemporary culture to grasp."

He said theologians must help people link theidea of freedom to the liberating power' of truth."For the better part of two generations now, ourculture has been dominated by the idea of freedomas personal autonomy - 'I did it my way,' as FrankSinatra sang in what might be the theme song ofthis diminished and ultimately degrading conceptof freedom," Weigel said.

The theological thinking of Pope John Paul IIhas been "innovative and compelling" while at thesame time "rooted in tradition," Weigel said, point­ing to what he called the pope's "groundbreaking"theology of the body, his social doctrine, his con­cept of the 'Marian church' of disciples, and hisanalysis of life issues.

A second lesson "is that we must learn once againto do theology on our knees, not simply at our desksor in ~ur libraries," Weigel continued.

A .third lesson is that, theology, today must beecumenical in its sensibility, he said. In one sense,Weigel said, that means the "ecumenism of time,"in which today's theologians include "as honoredpartners" in the conversation of theology the earlyChurch fathers and the medieval masters.

The fourth lesson to be learned from the pontifi­cate of Pope John Paul is "that the theological vo­cation is a vocation to holiness," Weigel said.

By pursuing their vocation as a means to holi­ness, "the theologians of the 21 st century will sanc­tify both the Church and the world," he said.

In a talk in Washington the day before to mem-

Clearly he was the movingforce behind getting this ont~ thebig screen, but; ironically, this willprobably go down as his worst­ever movie.

Cardinal Sodano told an esti­mated 600,000 people at theshrine of Our Lady ofFatima thatthe third part of the message re­vealed to the three shepherd chil­dren in 1917 "concerns, aboveall, the war waged by atheist sys­tems against the Church andChristians."

But, it also includes referenceto the'ministry and suffering ofa "bishop clothed in white,"whom the children believed wasthe pope, Cardinal Sodano said.

Cardinal Sodano said the mes­sage would be published onlywith the commentary because"the text contains a prophetic vi­sion similar to those found inSacred' Scripture, which do notdescribe with photographic clar­ity the details of future events,"and, therefore, require an inter­pretation.

Father WingateBorn in Wellesley, the son of

ferent from a biblical revelation."The "Catechism of the Catho­

lic Church" explains that throughScripture and in Christ, in a fulland exceptional way, God has re­vealed everything that is essen­tial for faith ..

However, it says, "Throughoutthe ages, there have been so-calledprivate revelations, some of whichhave been recognized by the au­thority of the Church. They donot belong, however, to the 'de­posit of faith. It is not their role .to improve or complete Christ'sdefi'nitive revelation, but to help'live more fully by it in ,a certainperiod of history."

The cardinal told the crowd'the pOpe came to .Fatima to be­atify ttW.two children, but also to.renew his thanks to Our Lady'ofFatima·"for her protectio'n dur­ing these. years of his papacy. Thisprotection seems al~o tobe linkedto the so-called 'third part' of thesecret·of Fatima." (

In the late 1930s, Sister Luciamade public the first two parts ofthe 1Jlcssages from Mary, whichthe children kept. secret. ';

The first two parts included thevision of hell shown to the chil­dren, along with prophecies con­cerning the outbreak of WorldWar'II, the rise of communismand the ultimate triumph of theImmaculate Heart of Mary, in­cluding over Russia, if the coun­try were consecrated to her Im­maculate Heart.

"Even if the events to whichthe third part of the Secret of Fa­~ima refers now seem part of thepast, Our Lady's call to conver­sion and penance, issued at thebeginning of the 20th century,remains timely and urg<:;nt today,"Cardinal Sodano said. .

Msgr. Regan was named amonsignor on June 30, 1974. Hewas named episcopal vicar for theFall River and New Bedford ar­eas in December 1974. He served.

.as director of Diocesan HealthFacilities from1974 to 1988;served as director of the Catho­lic Charities Appeal for the Cape ,Cod area in 1968; was a memberof-the Commission for DivineWorship, and in April 1974 wasnamed financial administrator ofThe Anchor. In 1997 he was in­vested as a Knight of the Eques- 'trian Order of the Holy Sepul­cher of Jerusalem.

Rome after the beatification cer­emonies that publication was ex­pected "within days, perhaps aweek."

In the message, CardinalSodano reported, as the. pope"makes his way with great efforttoward the Cross amid the corpsesof those who were martyred ­bishops, priests, men and womenreligious and many lay persons .:......he, too, falls to the ground, ap­parently dead under a burst ofgun-fire." .

. Mehmet Ali Agca, a Turk, triedto assassinate the pope in St.Peter's Square May 13, 1981.

In his homily during the beati­fication Mass at Fatima, Pope JohnPaul renewed ,his thanks to Godand to Our..Lady of Fatima forsaving his life, and he hinted atwhat Cardinal 'Sodano would re­veal an hour later.

Cardinal Sodano said that Sis­ter Lucia - whom the pope metwith privately before the Mass tobeatify her cousins, - confirmedthe Vatican's interpretation. '

Navarro-Valls said the pope hadseveral reasons for delegating ·theannouncement to Cardinal Sodanoin addition to the fact that the car­dinal is his top aide.

First, he said, it is because thepope is a subject in the messagesand, second, "because it concernsa private revelation, which is dif-
