ed the indissolubility Of marri­age and the 1968 encyclical,"Humanae Vitae," which statesthat sexual relations "must befully human, total, exclusive andopen to new life."

But the bishops also expressedcompassion toward those whofail to adhere to the church'sideal.

"In no way do we ignore thevery difficult and trying situa­tioI;l of the many Christiancouples who, although they sin­cerely want to observe the moralnorms taught by the church, findthemselves unequal to the taskbecause of weakness in the faceof difficulties," the message said.

WASHFNGTON ('Ne) - Presi­dent Carter and Republicanpresidenti"al 'nominee RonaldReagan have responded to Na­tional Catholic News Servicequestionnaires - regarding theirstance on various -issues. Someof ,their statements follow:

VATIcAN CITY(NC) - Witha firm "yes" to the indissolu­bility ot marriage and to presentchurch teaching on artificialbirth control, Pope John Paul IIclosed the 1980 world Synod ofBishops.

He said divorced and remar­ried Catholics should "not beconsidered separate from thechurch" but cannot be admittedto the Eucharist unless they"take on themselves the duty. tolive in complete continence, thatis, by abstinence from acts inwhich only married couples canengage." ,. The pope said all of ,the dis­

cussions at the synod turned on"two hinges ... namely, fidelitytoward the plan of God for thefamily and a pastoral way ofacting."

In discussing the status ofwomen, Pope John Paul quotedfrom a section of the synodpropositions which urged that"women not be forced to en­gage in external work ... so thatthe family might be able to liverightly, that the mother mightdevote .herself fully to the fam-ily." ' ,

Those in mixed mljrriages can.not simply "accommodate them­selves in a passive and easy

THE ANCHOR-:-Diocese of Fall River-Thur. 'Oct. 30, 1980 A synod score cardThere was support for' an inter­nationa,l charter of family rightsto help deal with abuses.

- Perhaps most important,'comprehensive family ministry

by the church won the synod'sunequivocal backing.

This was seen as inv()lving re­mote and ,immediate marriagepreparation, assistance to cou­ples at all stages of marriage aswell 'as to ,the widowed, separat­ed and divorced, and special pro­grams for famiI.ies with ~pecial

problems: single-parent families,families coping with 'alcoholism,drug abuse, handicaps and other

. crises, immigrant families andthe poor.

By nature, a synod is not inthe business of launching newprograms. Its recommendationsgo to the pope for his considera­tion and use. Even then, mostof the' follow-through' 'comesfrom national and local churchbodies.

But by strongly encouragingmore efforts to help families, thesynod gave an important boostto family ministry at a very highlevel. Potentially, important inthis regard was a proposal for anew dire~tory on family minis­try which would support andgive guidelines for such efforts.

Even on contraception, thesynod may in the long run beseen as having made its contri­bution to solving ,the theoreticaland practical problems of d,is-sent. .

In supporting church teachingon contraception, the bishopsalso acknowledged their respon­sibility to do more to help peopleunderstand and accept dt (forexample, ,through the' develop­ment of a new and more posi­,tive theology of sexuality) andobserve it with fewer ~ifficulties(for example, by more encour­agement of natural family plan­ning.)

-In a month of trying the synoddid not, solve all the problemsof the family. But it took anhonest look at them and ex­tended a· helping hand to fam­ilies.

some Vatican of1\icials wereafraid,the media would put toomuch emphasis on' contracep­tion. They need not have wor·ried. The bishops got there first,devoting more attention to thisissue than to anything else.

Perhaps dt was inevitable. Itcan be argued that a Catholicmeeting on marriage at whichnobody talked about contracep­tion would be like a cookout towhich no one brought' harn-burgers. -<

Still, ,the emphasis on contra­ception had the negative resultof putting the synod's discussionof' other issues in the shade. '

For example:-The problems the church

faces in adapting to trilditionalcultures and customs ,in Africanand other Third World countriesrec~ived a great deal of atten·

, tiop.Within the limits of what doc­

trine makes possible, the synodtook a generally positive viewof what is called "'inculoturation"(adaptation of Christianity to lo­cal cultures) and of increasedpower to diocesan bishops tocarry it forward.

-Much time was devoted tothe problems of divorced and' re­married Catholics.,

To no one's surprise, ,thesynod supported the church'steaching on the 'indissolubility ofmarriage and refrained from re­commending that Catholiics insecond marriages be admitted tothe sacram~nts, though somesentiment was expressed for fur­ther study of this question. Butit ,did underline the bishops' de­sire to offer divorced and re~

maR"ied Catholics as much helpas possible.

-The synod strongly reaf­firmed ,the church's commitmentto social justice, with specialreference to marriage and familylife.

Coercive government practicesin fields such as education andpopulation control were roundlydenounced, as were public andcorporate economic pol i c ,i e swhich threaten family stability.

DURING A PAUSE in synod deliberations, Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Fran·cisco, Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati and Cardinal Franciszek Marcharski ofKrakow, Poland, have a conversation. Archbishop Bernardin has -been elected to thesynod's ,permacnent council. (NC Photo)

VATICAN CITY (NC) -' Thescore card for the world SYnod,of Bishops adds up somethinglike this:' It satisfied no Me fullybut offered hope to as many asare willing to be hopeful.

For a month 216 bishops andother church leaders, convenedby and with the pope to con­sider the role of the family inthe modern wotld, wrestled withintractable problems.

Contraception, divorce and re­- marriage, the church's efforts to

adapt to non-Western cultures,the impact 'of poverty on familylife, and other knotty issuesgenerated hours of talk and tonsof paper.

In the end the syn'od did twothings. It stood by the church'steaching and it strove mightilyto express pastoral concern forpeople who have trouble accept­ing it.

HelpAt a Mass of thanksgiving

celebrated Oct. 19 in observanceof the 75th anniversary of OurLady of Perpetual Help parish,New Bedford, Bishop Daniel A.

, Cronin made the following re­marks:

, I greet you .with the traditionalPolish salutation that we -hearso often from the lips of ourbeloved Holy Father, Pope JohnPaul II: "Praised be JesusChrist!"

We gather together today tocommemorate the 75th Anniver­sary of the founding of this ven­erable parish of Our Lady ofPerpetual Help, here in NewBedford.

And it is indeed fitting thatwe celebrate a Mass of Thanks­giving on this very significantoccasion, for Almighty God hasblessed this parish communityabundantly over these manyyears.

At the conclusion of the Gos­pel of Saint Luke proclaimedmoments ago in today's Liturgyof the Word, our Blessed Saviorposes a question to his disciples."When the Son of Man comes,"He asks, "will he find any faithon the earth?" Jesus' questionfinds a positive response in thewonderful witness of faith whichthe history of Our Lady of Per­petual Help parish brings to thechUrch in our beloved dioceseof F~ River.

Indeed, the faith which Jesustaught and which the bi~ops,

successors of the apostles, con­tinue to teach, the life of faithwhich the Lord calls his Churchto live has remained vibrant inthis noble parish over these 75years. (Luke 18:8)

God's plan for this commun­ity of faith began to unfold inthe year 1905, when Bishop Wil­liam Stang, first bishop of FallRiver, established Our Lady ofPerpetual Help parish for theprecise purpose of ministeringto the pastoral needs of the manyPolish Catholics who were, atthat time, emigrating to ourdear country and who· weremaking their homes within ourdiocese.

Bishop Stang appointed as firstpastor Father Edward A. Umin­ski. The bishop presided at the

-On another defense issue,Carter said it would be difficultfor the president, a~ commanderin chief, to effectively defendthe nation if "selective" cons­cientous objection were permit~

ted in the United States. TheU.S. bishops have urged that thegovernment recognize the rightto object to a particular war onthe grounds that while somewars might be proper, othersmight not be morally justified.

RONALD REAGANRepublican presidential nom­

dnee Ronald Reagan, while con­tinuing his strong stance in op­position to abortion, has sa-id hewill not make ,the abortion issuea "litmus test" in the appoint­ment of federal judges.

"Abortion is obviouslY.a vitalissue, but I will not promulgatein advance a 'litmus test" forjudicial appointments," saidReagan.

Reagan's comments came inwritten responses to a series ofquestions on campaign issuesposed by NC News.

In his responses, Reagan also:- Called tuition tax credits

an issue of "distributive justice,"- Maintained that a new

SALT III treaty can be negotia­ted even if SALT II is not rati­fied by the Senate;

- Called for a "comprehen­sive reassessment" of U.S. re­lations with Mexico as part of abroader look at the illegal alienissue, and

- Said the importance of the"profession of homemaking"should be given official recogni­tion.

The controversial question offe4eral judgeships and abortionarose after the Republican PartyinCluded in its platform a planksaying it will work for the ap­pointment of judges "who reospect traditional family valuesand the sanctity of innocent hu­man life." ,

Later, a Reagan aide said inWashington that as PresidentReagan would not requirejudges to take any oaths or vowsbeyond the one required by theConstitution.

"I strongly believe that therights of unborn children mustbe protected in a civilized andhumane society," said Reagan.

. "Therefore, as president, I willask Congress to pass a consti­tutional amendment to protectthe rights of all innocent humanlife.". Reagan said the question of

_ tuition tax credits is not achurch-state issue but rather ,"anissue of distributive justice in­volving government and parent,not government and church."

On SALT II, Reagan rejectedthe contention that the existingproposed treaty should be ap­proved as a stepping stone tofurther reductions in the yet tobe negotiated SALT III.

"To claim that SALT II is anecessary 'first step' in this pro­cess is an attempt to cover upwhat is essentially a flawedtreaty," said Reagan.

Carter said &tudents who areeducationally disadvantaged,have physical handicaps, have anative language other than Eng­lish, or have other special prob­lems should be fully served byfederal government .no matterwhether they attend public orprivate schools.

"I have, therefore, supporteda variety of legislative and ad­ministrative actions ,to ensurethat private school children withspecial needs panicipate on anequitable basis ~n eJdsting fed­eral elementary . and secondaryeducation programs," said Car­ter.

He also said his administra- .tion's aUernative to tuition taxcredits on the college level wasthe Middle Income Student As­sistance Act, which he said ex­panded student eHgibility forfederal aid programs.

Carter said he had no object­tion to organized religion "tryingto provide guidance and dnspira­tion for a president or other po­Htical leader."

He added, "However, I amconcerned when t~ere is an or­ganized 'attempt that ~s highlyfinanced, in which tax exemptstatus is used or the right of thepublic airwaves ,is' used to shapethe outcome of an election."

On abortion, Car,ter said heopposes the use of federal fundsfor abortion and has :tried to dIs­courage the need· for abortion byimproving adoption services, ser­vices for unmarried pregnant

,women and by encouraging fam­ily planning programs.

"This is a highly emotionalissue that affects people deeplyand I have not felt -it is ady.isableto have a constitutional amend­ment ,that would specifiCally pro­hibit all abortions," ne.'said. -

Carter defended hiis adminis­tration's military aid program toEl Salavador despite pleas f.romchurch leaders there to have theaid halted.

He said· the aid has been close­ly monitoted and that the UnitedStates is additionally reassuredby the fact ,that two of the cur­rent ruling junta's members areleaders of the Christian Demo­crats who led the fight for hu­man I'ights in the country.

Asked ,to comment on theCa,tholic League's charge thatthe use of the pope in a politiclllcommercial was an insult' toCatholics and that the pope didnot intend "to lend himself to apartisan poHtical campaign,"Carter said he did not share theleague's view. .

He said the visit of the popeto the White House was "prob·ably ,the most exciting momentof my first term as president,"and said he "would do nothingto insult this great human being"

, or CathoHcs in general.Carter called SALT II "a criti­

cally important first step" inthe effort to reduce nucleararms. Responding to the chargethat a major flaw in the treatyis that it does not actually reosult in reduced arms, Cartersaid SALT II would result in

.the moorin~A Prayerful Call

Once again, The Anchor heeds the call to proclaim theGospel message, to announce the Good News, to tell allthat the harvest is ripe and to pray the harvest master tosend harvesters into the field. Once again, we remind ourreaders that vocation is an integral part of' the mission ofevery baptized Catholic.

So very often in our narrow-visioned concept of churchwe forget that one of the reasons why the church faces aso-called vocation crisis is because so many who have beenincorporated into the Lord Jesus have forgotten or igtloredthe fundamental fact that vocations are everyone's business.

_ In )ife circumstances,dominated by the truly paganmajority, many have forgotten that they have been sentby the Lord to see to it-that the wheat does not rot in thefield or the grape decayort the vine, but that the harvestbe brought to the Lord.

However, it is more than encouraging, especially inthis diocese, to see that once again interest in the sacramentof Orders is being manifested. The fact that many aretaking a positive interest in the priesthood and diaconateis clearly a sign of hope for the local church.,

One factor that has influenced this renewed interestin the Lord's service is the awakening of the Catholiccommunity to the life of the Spirit. During the past fewyears a new and vital prayer life has been developing inmany areas of church life. Each day more and more Cath­olics are becoming actively engaged in various approved

. and encouraged prayer forms.In such movements as the Charismatic renewal, the

Cursillo and Marriage and Engaged Encounters, people arebeginning to see in an active and positive way that beinga Catholic means more than just being baptized.

These prayer foims together with more traditionalavenues of personal piety are now beginning to form apeople whose dedication to the Lord is more active thanvocal, whose faith activities are more enthusiastic thanpassive and whose witness is more open' than hidden.

In other words, there is a substantial and growingarea of Church life whose members feel that they mustfulfill the Gospel mandate by apostolic and public witnessto the truths of revelation.

To ,be sure, there are skeptics whose unwarranteddoubt and fearful concern would cast a pall of gloom oversuch a renewal while at the same time there are otherswhose enthusiasm would tum the church into a travelingroad show. In between these obvious extremes there nowexists a faithful committed to the work, life and love ofthe church. 1

In this area, in these reaches of prayer life, will today'sworld find a spiritual solution to pagan fantasies and bringforth men and women willing and able, to undertake thework of Jesus..

It is in this renewed prayer life of the church that theseeds of vocation will be nurtured, fostered and developed.

Thus it is "imperative that all, especially those in leader­ship role$ in church life, encourage and guide renewedprayer forms, that they...may be the vital and spirit-filledhope for the future life of the church.

I

They· share the good news ofJseus in many ways. Their min­,istries may vary from meeting­needs in a local parish or school,in their own friaries or in hos­pitals and college campuses, toreaching out to God's p~ple onevery continent as missionaries.

Capuchins in the Province ofSt. Mary (New York· an~ NewEngland) begin thei'l' training asfriars ,in a one-year n6v.itiateprogram. 'For brothers there isan integrated four year programof academic and techndcalcourses. <::andidates f~r the• • I

In addition, the Congregationhas three provinces in ,Poland

. and vice provinces in ·Canadaand Brazil. Its Generalate is iri;Rome. '. From the outset, the Feliciansisters have emphasized educa­t~on, from elementary schoolthrough college, and the' worthand dignity of tl;1e individual.

Today over 3,000 Feliciansisters serve the church' in thefields of. education, evangeliza­tion, health care and sodal ser­vice in the spirit of Mother MaryAngela: "I wish that I' couldmultiply myself a thousandtimes and live God's love."

The process for the beatifica­tion of Mother Mary Arlgela isin process and her charism is aprecious legacy to the congrega­tion.

Like all followers of St. Fran­cis, the Felicians hold as. theirideals simplicity, poverty ofheart and lifestyle, and a joyfulhospitable spirit. Prayer andpenance are also elements ofFeli(lian-Franciscan spirituality.

The spirit of the congregationis one of love of God and neigh­bor, of loving reparation'to theEucharistic Christ' through theImmaculate Heart of·, Mary.Members are stren~thened tolive this spirit through the'source of love, Jesus, daily ex­posed in the Blessed Sacramentin all provincial houses.

They are the Dominican Sis­ters, Congregation of 81. Roseof Lima, otherwise known as theServants of Relief for. IncurableCancer. Their foundress was aconvert, -,Rose Haw,thorne La­throp, charming and talenteddaughter of Nathaniel Haw­thorne. She deserted tJ;1e socialand literary circles of New YorkCity 'to live in 'the slums of theLower .East Side, searchingamong the poor for those whowere so greatly dn need of com­passionate care, so deplorablyneglected and avoided.

Today the' Hawthorne Domin­icans staff seven homes for ter­minal cancer patients, dncludingthe Rose Hawthorne LathropHome in FallR!iver.

WHAT WORK DO TIlEY DO?

They care for Christ's poor ofall races, creeds and colors, whoare afflicted with 1ncurable can­cer. They do the nursing and all'other duties connected with thecare of. the Patients, remember-'ing always that ."Whatsoeveryou do to one of these, My leastbrethren,. you do 11nto Me." Itis a rich and rewarding life.Many of those bear.ing the dou­ble cros~ of sickness and povertyhave no one to tum to, no oneto mourn· at the .last, exceptthese Sisters. .

This month, the Congregationo{Feli~ian Sisters celebrates the125th anniversary of its found­ing. The congregation came intobeing. unobtrusively in Warsawon November 21, 1855. Itsfoundress, Sophia Truszkowska,later .known as Mother MaryAngela, took pity on the plightof orphaned .and neglected Po­lish children.

Soon she was joined by ninecompanions who consecratedthemselves to the Blessed Virgin.Directed by a Capuchin priest,these women pledged themselvestoa life of prayer and works ofmercy and became the nucleusof the Feliciim congregation.

The Sisters were called "Sis­ters of St. Felix" or simply Feli­cian Sisters because of theirfrequent visits with the childrento the shrine of St. Felix ofCantalice. Recognizing the hand

the past; if anything it has re­affirmed its essentials - com­munity life, prayer and dedica­tion - and added a new under-

.standing of the traditional vows.The emphasis and responsibilitylie now with the individual per­son.

Through prayer and 'dialogwith the other members of hiscommunity, the brother strivesto be alive to the needs of theChurch, and to see Jesus as helives in the human community,as well as in theology and scrip­ture.

" Community Hving forms an es­sential part of the brother's life.Jesus gathered his disciplesabout him and worked closelywith them. The brother strivesto do the same: with his com­munity he gives and receivesthat mutual support that comesfrom fraternal living. He prays,works, laughs, ·and worship'swith his brothers.

With its non-materialistic ori­entation, religious communitylife. stands in opposition to theconsumerism and status strugglewhich claim so much attentionand energy.

With its attempt to set a bal­ance between thought and ac­tion, work and prayer, personand community, it opens optionsthat lead to genuine life. At thecenter of this life is God and itis here that meaning, integrity,and happiness are found.

What is a brother?

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall, River-Thur. Oct. 30, 1980

Religious life is one way ofbeing a' Christian. ,Within thisreligious life, men and womenlive out their basic Christianvocation in many ways.

The brother chooses to livehis commitment in Christ in apraying community of vowedmen engaged in service to theirfellow men. Hence the three ma­jor characteristics of thebrother's life: prayerful commun­ity, vows or promises, and ser­vice.

In a Church which is experi­encing growth and rapid change,the brother stands as a witnessof the unity that binds all man­kind.

His consecration reminds allof us that the Church is abrotherhood of believers.

His apostolic endeavors showthat the Church is redeemingthe world as Christ did by lovingit. He is a sign and an examplethat God wishes all men to bebrought together in peace andharmony through mutual effortsof understanding and· coopera­tion.

A brother lives a simple, Gos­pel-centered life in a celibatecommunity. If that image isbland and colorless, the realityisn't. In the world of post-Vati­can 11 a new consciousness hasgrown among religious men andwomen.

Today's religious communityis one which has not rejected

FATHER COLUMBANCROTTY, 55.CC., has beennamed vocation director forthe east coast province ofthe Congregation of the Sa­Icred Hearts of Jesus andMary. His headquarters areat 3 Adams St., Fairhaven.

A native of Kilkenny, Ire­land, Father Crotty hasworked in Japan for 17years, serving tWice as vice­provincial of his community.

"And it is by, looking at thiswith the eyes of 'faith . . . thatyou perform acts that havebearing even' unto, eternity, abearing completely apostolic; inmaintaining the priest in therectory, by the divine charityexercised in doing this work,you are, by participation; trulydoing sacerdotal acts. And sothere, my dear daughters, iswhat is beautiful, sublime andwhat elevates YO\1r vocation, in'appearance so humble, to im­measurable heights ... "

simply be servants, precious anduseful though they may be, butthat' you would above all elsebe souls consecrated ,to, God.Your Father wishes you to beless in the service of the prieststhan in the service of the priest­hood and that your functions,material though they be, aresaintly functions, because theyare always performed in view ofthe sacred character of thepriest.

Rev. Marie..clement Staub,AA, founded the Congregation ofthe Sisters of St. Joan of Arc in1914, as an answer to a special'need in the Church. Through hisministry as preacher, he oftenhad the occasion to verify theneed of help in various' rectoriesand thus considered how muchreligious nuns couid assistpriests.

Presently the, congregationserves in 44' residences,' 27 inCanada and 17 in the UnitedStates. In the Fall River diocesesIsters are at the bishop's resi­dence and St. Mary's Cathedralrectory.

The special goal of the con­gregation is that of collaboratingwith the priestly apostolate. Sis­ters' are housekeepers in rector­ies, houses for religious com­munities and episcopal residencesas well as· secretaries and sacris­tans. They offer their prayersand work for priests throughoutthe world.

The ideals of the Sister of St.Joan include:

- a desire for total consecra­tion to the Lord;

- a hunger for prayer;- a great love for the church

and its priests; .- the will to live these ideals

in community.

The service of the Sisters wasdescribed well in a message fromCardinal Villeneuve at the silverjubilee of the congregation'sfounding: "Your founder ...did not conceive that you would

SILVER SPRING, Md. (NC)Proceeds from the sale of the:Sisters of Mercy 'of the Union'sgeneralate will go to shelter the ­homeless, the order announced.It sold the property to the U.S.Postal Service for $6.8 million. -

Sister Theresa Kane, presidentof the order, said the Sisters of

. Mercy have relocated -their na­tional headquarters from Poto­mac,- Md., to Silver Spring.

The decision to sell the landand the center came during theMercy Jubilee year 1979, whichhad been proposed as a year "forletting go." Sisters of Mercythroughout the .country weresurveyed regarding the nationalcenter building and property.

"After research, study, dial­ogue and prayer, it was theoverwhelming decision of the10th General Chapter to sell the

_ buildings and land which hadserved as the headquarters ofthe Sisters of Mercy for 50years," Sister Kane said.

"A contributing factor to thedecision to sell the Potomacproperties was the major shiftthat has taken place in theneighborhood, from a predomin­antly farm-like setting to an ex­clusive suburb - "a symbol thatis a sign of contradiction whenwe are being urged so stronglyto respond to the millions ofpoor -in this country and theworld," Sister Kane said.

international organizations"which adopt policies that "doviolence to families."

"Family' rights in regard to re­ligious liberty, responsible par­enthood and education are notrespected," the message said.'"Families are compelled - andthis we oppose vehemently ­to use such immoral means forthe solution of social, economicand demographic problems ascontraception or, even worse,sterilization, abortion and eu­thanasia."

The synod urged the adoptionof a charter of family rightSi_toprevent these abuses. .

The issue of cultural differ­ences, raised many times by Af­rican participants, requires "ac­ceptance and evaluatiqn" fromthe synod fathers.

"The church must accept andfoster this rich diversity whileat the same time encouraging'Christian families to give effec­tive witness to God's plan with­in their own cultures," the mes­sage said. "But all cultural ele­ments must be evaluated inlight of the Gospel."

On women's rights, the synodurged the church to "effective­ly affinn and defend the dignityand rights of women" and to,recognize "the essential equalityand complementarity of thesexes, as' well as the differentcharisms and duties of spouseswithin marriage."

The message encouraged thedevelopment of strong familyministry programs which involvelaity, Religious and priests andwhich include Iike-to-Iike min­istry.

In conclusion, the bishops saidtheir discussions on marriageand family life "can be summedup in two words - love andlife." ,

As the synod concluded, mem­bers elected- 12 bishops to itspennanent council, which handlessynod matters in the three-yearintervals between general meet­ings. Among those elected wasArchbishop Joseph Bernardin ofCincinnati.
