RESIDENTS OF St. Vincent's Home, Fall River, are routinely frisked upon entering the Bristol County House of Correction, New Bedford. Sheriff David R. Nelson is at right
SLAM! By Joseph Motta
Residents of St. Vincent's Home, FaH River, recently parti- . cipated in PROJECT SLAM (Students Learning A Message) at the Bristol County House of Correction, New Bedford:
In the anti-drug program developed by 'Bristol County Sheriff David R. Nelson, two inmates incarcerated for drugrelated crimes spoke to the group of about 15 young men, describ,jng in down-to-earth language how lives can be destroyed through substance abuse.
Launched in January, SLAM's aim is to let young adults see first -hand the other side of the drug culture, namely prison Ufe and loss of personal freedom. Sheriff Nelson also wants to bring a message to participants that will encourage them to re
o flect maturely on their own present or potential .drug involvement.
Upon entering the facility, the young "tourists" were frisked for contraband. This procedure was standard, Sheriff Nelson explained, and had drugs been found lin a visitor's possession he would have been detained. He noted that frequent attempts are made to smuggle drugs and drug pluaphenalia into the prison.'
The sheriff told the group that 80 percent of inmates at the all
male facility are serving time for drug and alcohol-related offenses.
212 prisoners are housed at the medium-security House of Correction, which has a. rated capacity of 135. Such overcrowding is typical of Massachusetts jails. The antiquated New Bedford building, built in 1828, last saw expansion in 1884.
Life decisions made at a young age determine whether or not a man will find himself incarcera ted, Nelson emphasized before conducting group members on a short tour of the dismal building, including viewing of a typical

The cell, a windowless six by eight foot cubicle, houses on~
man and contains a bed, toilet and sink. Prisoners are allowed to decorate their quarters and to supply their own radios and televisions.
Nelson noted that the average inmate is 22 years of age and must spend abollt 19 hours a day locked in his cell.
One St. Vincent home resident, when asked what he thought of the cell, said it was "not something I'd like to live in, that's for sure."
After the tour, the group' was shown to the prison chapel, where Nelson exhibited homemade weapons confiscated from prisoners and discussed drugsmuggling techniques used by visitors to supply prisoners. He showed, for instance, a pair of sneakers brought in for an inmate which were found to have drugs hidden 'in the soles.
Inmates "Peter" and "Sam" were then introduced to the young men.
Peter told the group that he "started off with downers at 12 or 13" and soon went on to harder drugs, not caring what he had to do to get them.

Cardinal Hamer refused to comment on the letter. Cardinals Oddi and Gantin could not be reached for comment.
The Vatican has voiced" concern about priests in partisan politics and public office several times during the past year. On Jan. 29, two Nicaraguan government officials, Father Ernesto Cardenal and Maryknoll Father Miguel D'Escoto, were ordered to resign their government posts or be suspended from exercising their priestly mii)istry. Neither resigned, and both were suspended.
Father Cardenal is minister of culture and Father D'Escoto is foreign minister in the Marxistinfluenced Sandinista government.
On May 23 Vatican Radio reported that the pope, through Vatican Secretary of State Car.dinal Agostino Casaroli, told Pacem in Terris, an organization of priests with ties to the Czechoslovakian government, that church ·law prohibited their membership in the association.
In 1932, the Vatican prohibited priests from belonging toassociations with strictly political aims. The ban was believed aimed at Pacem in Terris.
Political priest is suspended
GENOA, Italy (NC) - An Italian priest elected last year to the European Parliament. on the Socialist ticket has been suspended from his priestly ministry, the Archdiocese of Genoa announced Aug. 2.
Father Gianni Baget Bozzo was found guilty by an archdiocesan court of "the crimes of disobeying his Ordinary, of behavior that is unseemly or alien to the clerical state, and of taking' an active. part in. political parties," an archdiocesan statement said.
It said the priest had violated church canons 273, 285 and 287 regarding obedience, priestly behavior and political activity.
The sentence imposed the priest's suspension "a divinis" from all acts of priestly ministry and prohibited him from wearing priestly garb.
When Father Baget Bozzo announced his candidacy for the. European Parliament 'last year, he said he was running on the Socialist ticket because "in socialism there are the ancient I'oots of Christianity."
:During the church trial, which lasted several months, Father Baget Bozzo· refused to appear and refused to name a canon 'lawyer to defend him.
The European Parliament is part of the permanent structure of the 12-nation 'European Common Market. Its actions are not hinding on its members.

Despite loss of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, the Catholic il:radi,tion continues' at Our Lady's Haven Nursing Home in Fairhaven.
'Indeed, Father Lucien Jusseaume, resident· chaplain, with the addition of Miss Margaret Goggin and Mrs. Patricia Broad'land as Eucharistic ministets, has augmented ,the staff caring for the spiritual needs of those at the home.
In addition to daily Mass, Father Jusseaume regularly schedules special devotions such as novenas and recitation of the rosary. Night prayers are a'lso a part of the daily routine and the chaplain is always available for counsel.
AU in aU, Our Lady's Haven continues to show deep concern for the spiritual wellbeing of residents. It is and will always remain dedicated to Catholic principles wbile providing superb nursing and tender concern for the elderly and infirm.
As one resident summed it up: "To have this home with a chapel and Mass each day, to have a chaplain a'lways available, to have such caring employees, is to say we have a real Catholic home. I'm so glad to be here."

Scouting as ministry FORT A. P. HILL, Va. (NC)
The National Catholic Committee on Scouting will for the next two years emphasize scouting as a means of youth ministry.
Josef F. Kessler, a Boy Scout official and adviser to the Catholic committee, announced the effort for 1986 and 1987 as 32,000 Scouts from the 50 states -and 33 foreign countries took part in the Boy Scouts' lith National Jamboree at Fort A. P. Hill Jast month.
Kessler said the two-year program, themed "A Way to Christian Leadership - Catch the Scouting Spirit," has been endorsed by 'Bishop James W. Malone of Youngstown, Ohio, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Bishop Malone in a 'letter assured chief Scout executive Ben H. Love of "continued implementation and strengthening of the plan of cooperation between
the National Catholic Committee and the Boy Scouts of America."
"Scouting feels a youngman doesn't have a weH-rounded background unless he bas a religion, so we're working with the church to furnish programs that will fit a religious nature," said Marvin Smith, national chairman of the program,
With over 600,000 Catholic youth in packs, troops and other Scout-chartered organizations under Catholic auspices, more parishes will be informed how effective scouting can be when incorporated into a parish's outreach for Christian 'leadership, Kessler said. The Catholic committee has been an advisory group to the Boy Scouts since 1935.

Why are so many, people still unable to look at Vietnam through the eyes of current reality rather than those of past emotionalism? Really, 'all one need do to experience pathos transcending the conflicting viewpoints that brought our country so much al1guish and that still strangle our natio.nal conscience is to stand before the Vietnam Memorial in Washington.
. There are some who feel that Vietnam is over, that it is time to put if aside and let so-called bygC?nes be bygones, to let America rebuild and renew Vietnam as we did Germany after World War II. This attitude would have it that all"is changed and Vietnam is once more a simple, peace-loving nation cast off by American crassness.
Such an attitude is not only foolish, it is almost juvenile. First, one cannot compare the German and Vietnam expe
riences. Germany was liberated from a totalitil,rian sta.te and since that time has been democratically governed..vietnam, on the other hand, is today one of the most repressive and repugnant governments on Earth. Its vicious· Russian-supported invasion of neighboring states and its continuous brutalizing occupation iue a scandal to the world community. i
Those who would moralize about what the American attitude to such a' government sh9Uld be ~ould do well to remember that Vietnam continues to use the remains of American servicemen as bargaining chips ina game of international poker. . .
Vietnam, with the third largest army iIi the world, is nothing more than a puppet in the seesaw Soviet battle'with China. If we helped rebuild Vietnam, as some would have us do, what would we be doing but supporting Moscow's.puppet?
Only recently the Vietnam cause was editorially supported by the U.S. Catholic, an independent liberal magazine which called on Americans to help this "small Asian country that their bombs and shells have reduced to poverty."
No concern was voiced for the more than five million Vietnamese Catholics whose churches, schools ,and seminaries have been closed.
No reference was made to the uncounted faithful who have died and are still dying for their beliefs in the prisons'and jails of Vietnam.
No mention was made of the feelings of the millions of Vietnamese refugees throughout the world who have no hope of returning to their homeland.
It is not fair, just or honest to propagate the cause of a government that has become more totalitarian, more determined and' more detestable since the end of its open war with this country. If supporters of Vietnam were consistent they would also be championing nations such as South Africa.
United States Catholics must stand with their persecuted brothers and sisters in today's Vietnam. Refugee resettlement efforts should be of prime concern to local churches. Legislation that would effectively and efficiently help Vietnamese to establish themselves in our national family must receive church support on all levels of our social programs. The goverI:lment and church together 'must combat the grim disgrace of racial prejudice so often manifested toward Vietnamese refugees in our cities and towns. .
These are but a few reflections on the current Vietnamese si.tuation. We must do everything we canto alleviate the real plight of the Vietnamese. We must also loudly disclaim their Marxist government which has shown itself to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. . . ' .

ROME (NC) - Religious indifference, rather .than formal atheism, has emerged as a main challenge to modern Christianity, say
_church experts. Most delegates to a Vatican
plenary session of the Secretariat for Non-Believers said the "good life" of material and technological progress has been accompanied by growing religious disinterest in their countries.
Unbel.ief is not so much tied to ideas, they explained, as to the uncritical acceptance of consumerism, loss of family values and an emphasis on personal pleasure, all reinforced by advertising and mass media. '
.The reports, by about 20 experts, . were' published by the secretariat under the title, "Atheism and Dialogue: ..
Surv'eys in several European countries, for example,showed that while less than to percent of the population identified themselves as non-believers, only a minority said they practiced their religion.
In traditionally Catholic Spain and Portugal, 'only about onethird of those surveyed said they practiced their faith.' .
. In Portugal, "explicit atheism" is limited to a few intellectuals and students ofcommunist philosophy, a repoitsaid. But "practical atheism" is much more widespread.
"People live as if God didn't exist," said its author, Bishop Jose da Cruz Policarpo, auxiliary of Lisbon.
He' blamed "forces of Freemasonry and various Marxisms" .for nullifying the influence of reli-gion in Portuguese art, liturature, cinema, schools, social organizations and mass media.
In France, another report said, many people live a life of "day-today indifference," without asking essential questions about life and death. It noted that many people are satisfied with "daily banalities," citing renewed interest in ancient paganism, astrology and sorcery.
Reports from the United States, Ireland 'and Italy said theoretical atheism had little or no impact on society. Among causes of practical atheism, the reports said, was self-interest.
The Irish study said the church should recognize "the atheism inherent in consumer values and the ethos of money." .
Marxist ideology affects few in . Ireland, the report said, except for republican paramilitaries.· Those associated .with paramilitary violence used to .continue practicing their religion, but no longer do so, it was observed.
In Italy, practice 'of religion has suffered a "steep, 'decline," partly because of empha~is on ~'materialism, selfishness and comfort," said the report from that nation.. . . In the United States, the traditional attitude· of separation between church and state has given unbelief a certain legitimacy, said a report by Bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany, N.Y..
TodaY/,the report added,..con
cern for a higher life is eclipsed by "the concern of many for achieving the 'good life' of prosperity and self-improvement. "
Reports from Poland and Angola said that even in those Marxist countries indifference is religion's main challenge. "The faith seems to have sometimes disappeared in important areas of life," said a report by Bishop Alfons Nossol of Opole, Poland, citing "relatively high numbers of abortions, divorces and alcoholics."
In Africa, too, there is a tendency to llnbelief, said a report by Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze, who heads the Vatican Secretariat for Non-Christians. It is partly caused by the influence of European and American indifference, he said, and partly by anger over racial discrimination. .
An influential minority in Africa, he said, has concluded that "religion is a tranquilizer, not much in use in Europe but very much in use in Africa to keep the people down.
~n Zaire, sects have replaced eucharistic participation with "wordly meetings, embellished with lectures and fantastic explications Qf the Bible," said a report by Bishop M'Sanda Tsinda Hata of Kenge, Zaire.
In Latin America, religious indifference is tied to an "implicit athe~
ism" that replaces God with "the idols of pleasure, power and haveing" reported Bishop Antonio Quarracino of Avellanada, Argentina, president of the Latin American bishops' council.
It can't he doIle Let's fantasize that one Sun
day your pastor says that he's concerned about the unemployment in your area and feels the parish should take an active role in meeting the needs of these people. To this end, he suggests turning a room in the parish hall into a Center for the Unemployed, staffed by volunteers and underwritten by the parish.
He explains that because so many unemployed do not have access to 11 phone where they can call about jobs or get messages from potential employers, the room will focus on offering several phones, coffee, doughnuts, and a worker who will ' take incoming calls and put messages in sealed envelopes for job seekers and others.
Further, because so many ~ingle
parents can't go to interviews with children, he wants to set up a list of parishioners willing to sit children while parents are job-hunting, and another list of parishioners willing" to drive people to job interviews.
Perhaps, he explains, the parish could even become a quasi-employment agency, taking calls from employers and posting jobs on a message board. He would like to initiate the project at once.
All of this has taken only ten minutes. Yet, as you sit there, what's your reaction? Which of the following will it most approximate?
1. It won't work. 2. It's not a
proper activity for a church. 3. It might work but I don't want to be involved. 4. It will draw a class of people we don't want. 5. It might work so let's try it. 6. It's a fine idea. Let's give it a try.
How we react tells us a lot about ourselves and ourcategoryofthink~
ing. According to psychotherapist Richard Fowler of the Judson Family Institute in St.. Paul, only 40% of us can think abstractly. That is, we can envision something that hasn't already been tried and· proven. We're the ones who are apt to respond, "Let's try it."
The other 60% of us think concretely. That is, we can't envision anything new as workable until it's already ,been tried and found successful. Then it is concrete and we're willing to go with it.
Therefore, according to Fowler, all progress begins with abstract thinkers who are also riskers. Concrete thinkers value security' over risk. ,"It, ca'n't be' done" is a reaction of concrete thinkers, and one we tend to reach for when a risker comes up with a new idea.
We live in a wondrous couritry revealed to Europe by Columbus. But in 1490, a commission formed by Queen Isabella and K.ing Fer-. dinand to report on the feasibility of Columbus' plans to sail west to find a shorter route to the Indies reported the voyage was impossible because: "I. A voyage to Asia would require three years. 2. The
The parish council If your pastor asks you to
run for the parish council what should you expect? A questionnaire I saw recently included a list of questions which, when studied and put in declarative statements, reveal something of what to expect.
Let me give a few examples: If elected to the council you
ought to find yourself with a mixture of different types of people. There probably will be persons of various ages and marital status, from differing ethnic, racial and socio-economic backgrounds. Parish councils are supposed to reflect the mix of the parish population.
The ideai atmosphere of the council should be serious, reflective, prayerful and, at times, playful. By serious is meant a feeling that the pastor, parish staff members and parishioners respect and give priority to your work. A deeper sense of ownership in the parish and of personal responsibility usually is part of the seriousness. There also should be a sense that your talents are appreciated and needed.
Council work might consist in planning a parish program, evaluating one already in progress, setting goals for the coming year or decade, or brainstorming about the future.
Your reflective powers undoubtedly will be taxed,. as will your powers of observation and the ability to reason from them to constructive conclusions.
All work and. no prayer or play cause dullness and can lead to a sense that what you are involved in is nothing more than an extension of your work in the office. As a council member, expect to spend a
considerable amount of time in prayer and meditation on how your contribution fits into God's plan.
There should be get-togethers intended only for relaxation.
You will have sessions in which you feel you are at the foot of the Tower of Babel. There will be times when the most perfectly laid plans will self-destruct because of some seemingly insignificaPt detail that was forgotten. '
You will find that not everyone will agree with you.
Be prepared to be asked about every possible ministry in the church: How can the parish best get involved in parish renewal? Should ther(!\). be lectures on the bishops' pastoral letters on peace and the economy? How do you increase the parish collection?
What do you do to attract youth to parish life? Who is looking after senior citizens and shut-ins? Do your parish members feel welcome?
If you are thinking about running for election to a parish council, but are hesitant about becoming too involved, I suggest you conduct a little experiment. Practice taking council with your family or a group of friends.
Get together and pose a problem that needs solving or an idea that needs further analysis.
Be serious and reflective. Pray together and try to come up with a plan or vision. Concentrate especially on how well you accept another person's ideas and feelings, and how well you can work together.
Ifyou find you have a high level of tolerance and enjoy the experience of collaboration you proDa.bly should run for your parish council. Mor~over, if yo.u feel a

From the abstract thinkers reading this, the pastor would probably get support and the right to fail. Concrete thinkers will be relieved to know that an ecumenicill group in Portland, Oregon, is already operating the Center I describ~d and it's working well.

Burial at sea
Q. I am interested in ocean burial. noes the Catholic Church have any objections to this idea? (Florida)
A. From the very beginning Christians have taken burials very seriously. The attitude and customs of any people toward their dead says much about their beliefs concerning the meaning of life, respect for our bodies and life after death.
The Christian church was and is no different. Funeral customs al
.ways reflect Christians' faith in Christ, their conviction about the dignity ofour human persoo including the body; and of course belief in life after death. To this day, it even sets aside reserved space to receive the bodies of those who have died.
For these reasons the church strongly discourages any practices that might, in a frivolous way, begin to reflect dishonor on the dead or seem to minimize, if not ridicule, beliefs'which are extremely precious to us. ,
It is within this context that your question must be approached. Ifa good and valid reason suggests it, there is no rule against burial at sea. Obviously it is done thousands of times in emergency situations, particularly in time of war. This type of burial therefore would not be automatically wrong for you.
I would suggest only that you consider your reasons carefully, and that you discuss the matter with your parish priest who would be responsible for carrying out your wishes within the framework of our Catholic liturgy for the dead.
Q. A few weeks ago (Anchor, June 21) you,answered a question from a mother whose children wondered whether they would have their dog in heaven. In part of your answer you said you would not be surprised to see dogs and trees and flowers In heaven.
I thought heaven was just being with God. Will we need more than God to make us happy? I think your answer is misleading. (Oklahoma)
A. I think you're leaving out an important truth of our faith, that we will share in the resurrection of the body.
We know very little about what our bodies will be like in their exalted condition after the resurrection. We do know, however, that they will be our bodies - like Christ's, with eyes, ears, mouth, touch and other senses that are p'art of our human nature.
If the resurrection means anything, these senses and organs will not be atrophied and useless. Our eyes will see, our ears will hear, our tongue.will taste. As Jesus apparently tried to prove to the disciples after he rose from the dead, to deny these things ~ould'be to deny the resurrection.
Yet, apart from the human nature of Jesus, God is pure spirit. What then would there be in heaven to hear, feel, taste and touch? True, the essence of heaven is our presence with God. Is it possible, however, that God might even reve~l

himself to us in ways similar to, ic' immeasurably beyond, the ways he reveals himself. to us here on earth?
After all, even in heaven our mind s and wills will still be created minds and wills; we will never know and love him as he knows and loves himself, with one eternally perfect act of comprehension and union.
How then will God reveal himself to us? One thing we do know. Having taken our human nature, he has a tremendous respect for it. It is our best Christian guess that he will use it, all of it, even in heaven.
If this sounds strange, perhaps one reason migha be that we do not respect and reverence our human nature as much as God does. More than one saint (and theologian) has suggested that one of the great suprises of heaven may be in how many respects it J:,esembles our life on earth, trees, !flowers, smiles and maybe even dogs. '
Q. I went to confession and confessed stealing a large amount of money. The priest told me I could not be forgiven unless I made reparation and gave it back. Is this the CatboUc Church ruling? (Pennsylvania)
A. This isn't a Catholic.Church ruling; it's part of the Ten Commandments. Our sorrow and repentance after stealing something from someone doesn't change the fact that it still belongs to the wronged person. •
Confession of your sin does not make the money yours. In fact, then: cannot be real repentance unless you intend to give the money, or whatever is stolen, back to its rightful ownc;r.
If it can be done, the money must be returned to the one from whom it was stolen. If that is not possible, it may be given to the pOOl' or to some charitable purpose. But it does not belong to you.
Q. I just broke my engagement to a line man who was generous In every way except one. He hates children.
I want children when I get married and told him so, but he has a peculiar 'outlook on having a family.
Can you give me a few reasons why a man shouRd say awful things about children? Otherwise he has a nice personality. But I had to give up the thought of marrying him. (New Jersey)
A. I can think of a number of reasons that a man might not want children, either because of some unfortunate experiences in his background or simply because of his gem:ral attitude toward life.
Whatever the reason, you are fort'unate in having the wisdom and courage needed to end the engllgement. A lot of men and women would 110t have sufficient conviction of their own principles to make such a decision, or in many cases they entertain the vague hope that "something will work out." It rarely does.

The workshop, sponsored by the U.S. Catholic' Conference Depilrtment of Communication, was" a step towards· organizing :local participation in the church's legislative agenda for communications policy.
Mark GaHagher,assistant director for the USCC government liaison . office, told the meeting that' "if issues are, not strongly supported by til majority of (a, legislator's) constituents or by powerful interest 'groups, then lrigislators rarely focus on them."

7 Catechists taken in EI Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador (NC) - Two catechists and other parshioners were swept up in a series of arrests in an El Salvador parish late in July.
The parish, St. Francis in Mejicano, has also seen one of its priests assassinated during the violence of recent years.
Among those arrested July 24 were Consuela Contreras de Guevara, 54, and her IS-yearold son, Petronillo de Jesus Guevara Contreras. Both are catechists at the parish, 10cated :in a poor area outside San Salvador.
Mrs. Guevara's 63-year-old husband and at least three other parishioners have heen reported arrested since July 22.
A church source said a family member present during the arrests reported that a group of heavily armed men stormed into the family's home without identifying themselves.
They tied up the family members, including a pregnant woman, and forced them to lie facedown on the floor for nearly three hours while the house was searched. Confiscated were religious items which the men insisted were political. They included Bibles, religious songbooks, catechetical training items and Christian music cassettes.
At St. Francis Parish, assassinated Father Octavio Or-tiz Luna is buried behind the altar. He was a close friend of assassinated Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador, and was the first priest whom the Archbishop ordained.
In January 1979, Father Ortiz and four ,teenagers were killed by government troops who stormed a church retreat house.

ST. CATHARINE, Ky. (NC) In the late 1950s Sister Maria Rose, a Dominican nun from South Vietnam, stayed with the St. Catharine of Siena Dominican sisters in' central Kentucky while studying in the United States.
That event nearly 30 years ago began a relationship which has made the Kentllcky com· munity a haven for Dominican Sisters fleeing Communist rule in Vietnam.
Sister Trinita McIsaac, promoter of mission at St. Catharine, said 11 Vietnamese nuns have made the St. Catharine
- community their first home in the United States.
"Coming here is always their request," Sister McIsaac said. "But once they are here, we help them until they can plan their own futures." Of the 11, four now work with fellow St. Catharine Dominicans in Louisville, 50 miles northwest of the motherhouse. The others have begun ministries in Massachusetts, Texas, California and Illinois.
Sister Hue Le, a Vietnamese Dominican since 1961; was one of four in her community who fled Vietnam for America in 1975 when the South Vietmimese capital of Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City, fell.
They escaped by boat and within a few months made it through the hastily set-up refugee resettlement processes to reach St. Catharine.
Sister Hue began preparations to join the American communoily permanently, and three years ,later became a member, while also retaining membership in her Vietnamese congregation. Her' new family "loves me and I love them," she said.
DOMINICAN SISTER Hue Le feeds a baby at a Louisville, Ky., day care center where she works wJ1ile taking college courses. (NC photo)
u.s. Dominicans welcome Vietnamese colleagues
Most of the refugee nuns have not formally joined an American order, however, but remain Vietnamese Dominicans.
Language and culture barriers made it difficult both for the first arrivals and for the' nuns who welcomed them.
"We learned to listen and talk with our hearts," Sister McIsaac said.
"Coming here is very hard on the sisters," she ad~ed, "but being there is also hard. We are trying to bridge the gap with faith.
"We are learning the ways of their faith and they are learning the ways of ours. And we can easily see how much we have in common. When you share a basic faith, the language barrier is . a small problem to overcome."
There are still about.500 Dominican nuns in Vietnam. But their religious life is sharply restricted and they never know when a convent may' be shut down, forcing them to move or flee.
Sister Nang Nguyen fled Vietnam at her superior's direction in 1981, leaving behind not only her fellow nuns but a large family. •
She said that open practice of the faith by religious communities has become impossible in her homeland.
"Here," said Sister McIsaac, "they can pray in peace."
"I enjoy the freedom," said Sister Nang.

Bronislaw Dabrowski,' has said that recent newsprint cutbacks in Poland have hurt the coun· try's Catholic press and represent "a hostile act of repression" 'against the church. In a letter to government authorities, the aTl:hbishop said the decision to cut newsprint allocations to 'all publications by 20 percent caused particular problems for Catholic publications because they were often .sold out immediately, due to growing demand and government-imposed circulation limits. In contrast, he said, government publications were circulated in great numbers but remained largely unsold.

Days of recollection and' other parish retreat programs are held periodically.
"One of the unique things in this parish is that we have many people for daily Mass," Father.McClenahan said. "It's rare that we have less than 50 people daily in the winter."
The church itself, a little more than a stone's throw from Atlantic beaches, is s'imply decorated and quite elegant, seating 600 between cool green walls. Father McClenahan observed that the lack of distractions contributes to its devotional atmosphere.
The Holy Redeemer church building has recently added more classroom space, utilized by the religious education program and occasional guest lecturers.
Father McClenahan hopes to establish more opportunities for adult education within the parish, as well as to expand the high school CCD program.
A parish mission, Our Lady of Grace in South Chatham, offers Masses throughout the year and is also a center for some parish fundraisers.
Poland honors priest in Texas PANNA MARIA, Texas (NC)
- Father .Bernard. Goebel, 80, who spent five-and-a-half years in a German concentration. camp, has been given the title honorary canon of the Cathedral Chapter of . the Diocese of Chelmno, Pelplin, Poland.
Father Goebel is pastor of, Immaculate Conception Parish, Panna Maria. .
In ·his letter to Father Goebel, . Bishop Marian Przykucki of Chelmno said that the title, akin to that of monsignor in the United

The bishop said that Father Goebel was arrested in October 1939 and was freed by U.S. forces in 1945. After a period of recovery and adjustment, he renewed his pastoral work in Germany, then came to Texas.
Father Goebel said he survived years at the'infamous Dachau camp by living "day to day". 928 priests lost their lives at.the camp,. while 1,213 were liberated at war's end.

By Dr. James and Mary Kenny
Dear Mary: We've been marrieCi nearly 10 years and have al5-yearold son.
For several years my husband has been disenchanted with his high-pressure job. However, he won't (or can't) do anything to change the situation; neither will he consider something to reduce stress.
He has almost no interests. I've told him I'm willing to change our standard ofl'niving - inclu~ing seiling the house. He won't consider "lowering" himself. I already work full time so my getting a job wouldn't be an issue.
He is so unhappy with himself. Lately·it's most evident inhis weight. He gains and loses repeatedly. He is short-tempered and impatient.
I've been supportive and have had "pep talks" with him to no ' avail. He's getting increasingly dill'flcult to live with. A few months ago I urged him tq get counseling, offering to go too. I explained I didn't think I could continue to live with him unless he got help. He hasn't. - Rhode Island.
You seem to have tried many things and made good.suggestions which did not work. What now?
How can you change someone who is unhappy but does not want to change? Since you cannot get him to make major changes, try for small ones.
His diet is a significant part of his problem and can be a major factor in how he feels. Does he come home tired and tense, reach for the alcohol, eat a large dinne.r heavy on fats, red meat and sweets, then drift off in front of the television? It is not an unusual pattern for persons in high-stress jobs.
You say he can:t change his eating pattern. However, unless your household is unusual, you do most of the shopping and cooking. By setting small, specific goals you can systematically change eating
.patterns. Start by using more poultry and
fish, less red meat. Substitute fresh fruit for sugar-filled desserts. Write down your plan and stick to it. Gradually eliminate whatever is ruining his weight and health.
The second change is exercise. It is a rare man over 40 today who does not fear heart disease. Your husband might want to change but 'feel too discouraged and depressed. to try.
Try to get him to join you for a walk befpre dinner every evening. Neither of you will feel like doing it alone. Encourage each other.
If your husband is under care for high blood pressure, ask your doctor for a walking program. You will probably ~tart with a mile 'or two. Eventually you can probably work up to four or five miles.
Won't walking take time? Certainly. Dinner might be delayed.
Your son might be inconvenienced occasionally, but since IS-yearolds generally have odd schedules, it should be no great problem.
After your walk, reach for mineraI water with a twist of lime or a tart lemonade, then enjoy a lowfat, low-sugar dinner together. After starting the evening this way, your husband may not want to tune out in front of the television.
As you get in shape, propose other diversions. Drive to a scenic park or woods occasionally to take your walk. Try a 1O-mile walk on the weekend. Take back packs and stop for a light snack. Challenge him to get up with you on a summer morning for a hike and a picnic breakfast.
None of these efforts will succeed unless you do them with him. They are much less drastic than changing jobs or homes. And they are go~d..!~r.J~~'__
In a few years your son will leave home. You and your husband will be a couple again. Ifyou are good friends and possess good health, you can enjoy some of the best years of your marriage. The efforts you make should not only protect your husband's health now, but prepare for the years ahead.
Reader questions on'family living and child care to be answered in print are invited. AddreSk the Kennys, Box 871, St. Joseph's College, Rensselaer, Ind. 47978:

Are bishops held captive by their staffs?
By Msgr. George G. Higgins
"Catholicism in Crisis," a layedited neo-conservative magazine published at but not by Notre Dame University, monitors the U.S. Catholic Conference almost as closely as the FBI monitors the Communist Party.
Almost every issue features an article - usually critical - about the conference. In addition, Philip Lawler, a'regularcolumnist, reports on the conference every month under the heading "USCC Watch." His findings are more often negative than positive.
"What would happen if the USCC suddenly ceases to exist?" he asks in his July column, a question he is at pains to say "is not simply an outburst ofwishful thinking." Perhaps he doth protest too much.
Lawler is realistic enough to know the conference is here to stay if only because the Second Vatican Council "presumably" (sic) had some reason for encouraging the development of such councils and because "the new Code of Canon Law makes explicit provision for them." Clearly, he says, "the universal church sees a need for these groupings."
It is difficult to say if Lawler agrees. He admits it would be going too far to say the conference serves no useful purpose whatsoever. It does, provide some neces-, sary in-house services to the bishops, he concedes, and can even be "a great convenience" to journalists like himself.
But, he concludes, "ifany bishop is interested in reforming the USCC, he should keep one comforting thought in mind: If a few staff aides - or a few offices disappear from USCC headquarters, most ordinary Catholics will never notice the difference. "
Lawler and his associates must not consider themselves "ordinary Catholics" for, goodness knows,
they seem to be mesmerized by the USCC. Be that as it may, since the conference is here to stay, the most they can hope for is that the bishops will eventually decide to trim the organization's sails. . Lawler's concern about the USCC staff is shared by other critics of the conference, some of whom write for or at least subscribe to Catholicism in Crisis. They are convinced that the poor innocent bishops are at the mercy of"liberal" staff members who allegedly on their own initiative draft all sorts of left-leaning policy statements which the bishops, for lack of time, routinely and uncritically rubber-stamp. '
As one who worked there for 36 years, I think I can say with some authority that Lawler and his associates know far less about the conference than they claim, grossly exaggerate the stafrs influence an~ demean the bishops by portraying them as passive and subservient captives of their staff.
The USCC staff, as in every large-scale organization, contributes to the drafting of policy statements. To suggest, however, that the staff initiates major policy statements and dictates what goes into them is absurd, particularly in cases like the 1983 pastoral letter on war and peace and the first draft of the forthcoming pastoral on the economy.
I cite these two documents because they seem to be of major concern to Lawler and company and the ones they have most frequently and severely criticized. To suggest that these documents were initiated by and drafted by the USCC staff is contrary to fact - as the bishops who spent three years debating every syllable of the peace pastoral can attest.
Critics ofconference documents would be well advised to make their case objectively on the merits of a given document instead of trying to drive a wedge between the bishops and their staff. That's more an insult to the bishops than to the staff.
Student drivers By Hilda Young
Say wha,t they will about the tension between adolescents and their parents, there is a six-month hiatus in that maturing process during which a parent becomes
. someone with whom the teen wants to spend as much time as possible.
It's the six months between the time a child turns old enough to obtain a learner's permit and the time he or she takes. the driver's test.
During this time the teen who would question you if you stated that the sun set in the west, becomes the teen who volunteers to drive you two blocks to visit a, neighbor.
As a matter offact, an unspoken rule now governs this person's. life: If the car moves, he or she had better be given good reason if he or she is not the one behind the wheel.
This is the 'person who, six months earlier, had to be' removed from bed. with a crane for Sunday Mass. Now. the same person is hustling his younger brothers and sisters into the car for Mass so he can' drive the family to church.
This person whom you were sure had suffered a hearing impairment sometime between his 13th and 15th birthdays now can hear a car key jingle for blocks.
The non-communicative child suddenly is pestering you with_ more reasons to be driving somewhere for something than you thought p'ossible. She will volunteer to drive you to PTA meetings and' do her homework with a flashlight in the car so she can drive you back home afterward. She will offer to tum the car around in the,driveway , so it will be headed out when you leave next. '
This person who used to think nothing ofdrawing pictures on car windows with greasy fingers or having a banana fight with a brother in the back seat, now becomes incensed ifsomeone leaves a fingerprint on the dashboard. And heaven help the person who
'would smear the rearview mirror. Granted, a parent can be fooled'
into a false sense of security during these six months. , Still, there are the times your
student driver asks:'you to duck down in the seat whenapproaching his friends that keep YO\l5~alistic.

Hispanic bishop for D.C. WASHINGTON (NC) - The
U.S. Catholic church got its first Puerto Rican-born bishop Aug. 4 when Jesuit Father Alvaro Corrada del Rio was ordained an auxiliary bishop at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. .
The church, one ofthe largest in the world, was ja~med with 5,000 people who drowned out the choir with a roar of applause and cheers as the bishop-to-be came in the door at the end ofa long entrance procession. Many in the congregation waved Puerto Rican flags or held up pictures of the new bishop.
Bishop Corrada, 43, is the first, Hispanic to be an auxiliary of the Washington Archdiocese. A member of the New York province .of , Jesuits, he is also the only bishop' from that order serving in the 48 contiguous states. .
Archbishop James Hickey of Washington, chief ordaining bishop, presided at the three-anda-half hour afternoon ceremony in
. the shrine. Afterward, the people poured onto the adjoining campus of the Catholic University of America for a fiesta that went on until sundown.
Among more than 30 bishops who joined in the ordination were Cardinals John O'Connor of New' York, Luis Aponte. Martinez of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Patrick O'Boyle, 89, first archbishop of Washington and now the oldest U.S. cardinal.
Among concelebrants of the ordination Mass was Father Kevin J. Harrington, Taunton area director of the Diocesan Apostolate to Hispanics and a member of tbe natloilal planning committee that has made preparations for the Third National Hispanic Pastoral Encuentro, to be held Aug. 15 to 18 at Catholic University.
Coadjutor Bishop Sean O'Malley of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, former coordinator of Hispanic ministry in Washington, was homilist at the Mass. He called holiness and service the key qualities of a bishop.
Christ showed what it means to be a bishop when he washed and dried the feet of the apostles at the Last Supper, Bishop O'Malley said. "Ourjob as bishops is to fight over the towel," he added. '
Cardinal O'Connor drew laughs when he jokingly complained, in English and Spanish, about losing, Bishop Corrada to Washington after ,"I taught him how to be a bishop."
Ordained a priest in 1974, Bishop Corrada has spent the past six years working in the New York Archdiocese first as a parochial vicar and since 1982 as pastoral coordinator of the Pastoral Center for Hispanics in the Northeast.

Vermont bishop directs U.8. seminary study By Corl Fugere
BURLINGTON, Vt. (NC) Bishop John A. MarshaH of Burlington has a special spot in his diocesan center that he calls the "seminary room." It is a small office where he keeps volumes of material for the study of U.S. seminaries that he is coordinating for the Vatican. .
It has been nearly four years since Pope John Paul II named Bishop Marshall to head a major study of the splroitual, academic, pastoral, administrative and community aspects of every Catholic seminary in the country.
Study teams directed by the bishop so far have made fiveday visitations to about 40 theological seminaries out of a total of 58. The final report on each seminary, ,including a seif-study, a catalogue, and program descriptions, averages about 600 pages.
About 200 other institutions - collegiate seminaries, formation houses and theological unions - wiU also be part of the total study.
Bishop Marshall said that although he Is ultimately responsible to 'the Holy see for the study, , be works closely with the National Conference of CathoUc Bishops and the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, especially with their priestly formation committees.
The visitation, the centerpiece of the study of each seminary, was modeled dn large part on an earlier program developed by the NCCB and CMSM com· mittees for voluntary evaluations
of U.S. seminaries. After the .visit, there ~s an
oral report to the local bishop (or provincial superior of religious-order seminaries) and seminary rector and faculty, then a written report drafted by the team chairman, reviewed by other team members, and checked by a bishop who was not part of the team.
The final report is read by Bishop Marshall and. his chief aide in the study, Father Donald Wuerl, a former seminary rector.
It is then forwarded, with recommendations, to the Vatican office in charge of seminaries, the Congregation for Catholic Education, which is headed by American Cardinal William W. Baum.
"We've been very pleased with the cooperation we've received from all sides," Bishop
, Marshall said. The basic })urpose of the study,
he said, is to ensure that ,U.S. seminaries are following Roman documents and the U.S. bishops' Program of Priestly Formation.
The study, initiated by the Holy See in september 1984, started slowly because of the extensive consultations involved in developing the overall plan and specific study instruments for each type of seminary institution. Actual seminary visits did not begin' until 1983, but the whole study wiH probably be completed by the end of 1987, Father Wuerl said.
Bishop Marshall said that despite the time required for the study, 'he is still abh~ to admin-

ister confil1l1l:ii.on, throughout his statewide diocese and attend other functions, such as meetings and parish anniversary, celebrations.
But he has had to put on hold a parish visitation program he had established under which he visited about 20 of the state's 100 parishes each year, spending a weekend at each one.
"I miss that," he said.
How does study actually work?
By 'Ne News Service What does the Vatican-man
dated stUdy of U.S. seminaries mean in practice?
Although Dishop Marshall and Father Wuerl do not wish to talk about sPecifics, both express overaH posiotive reactionll to studies this far completed.
But officials of the St. Cloud diocesan seminary and its theology school at St. John's University, Collegeville, Minn., readily revealed the main: results of a recent visitation there.
In an interview wiith the St. Cloud Visitor, newspaper of the St. Cloud Diocese, Daniel Rush Finn, dean of the University's theology school, and Father Mark WiHenbring, rector of the seminary, repoNed a summary of what the visitation team said in two key areas of its report: commendations of current strengths in the seminary and recommendations for improvement.
The visiting team commended the seminary' and theology program in six areas, the school officials said:
- high-quality faculty (pastoral experiences and educational backgrounds);
- strong theological library; - the integration in class
rooms of seminarians and others studying for non-ordained church ministries;
- the seminary's Jerusalem program, which mandates all seminarians to study one semester in the Holy Land; ~ the .affiliatIon with St.
John's Benedictine Abbey and the monastic environment con
ducive .to mOO'itation, prayer, reflection and study;
_. the strong and harmonious relationship between the St. Cloud diocese and St. John's Abbey and University.
The visidng team suggested four areas for improvement, the offic:ials said:
-- a change in the deacon internship, placing seminarians in parishes and social ministry work during Ithe summers, thus giving tltem eight full. semesters on campus;
-- increased course requirements for students and a more diversified offering of courses in Scripture, moral theology and canon law;
- a greater focus on ecumenism, utilizing facUities and perllonnel at the Center for Ecumenical and Cultural Research on the Collegeville campus;
-- a study of fundamentalism to prepare seminarians for the questions they will encounter about it in' their' priestly ministries.

on ,your
mind? Q. How do you let a guy to
like you? Should you act like yourself or act like what you think the guy likes? (Pennsyl-' vania)
A. Don't playa role. Don't wear a mask. Don't be the phony you. Such strategies aren't much fun and' at .times they can, be stressful.
Be yourself. DQn't, however, carry thata~vice too ~ar.
It could ibappen that you would "be yourself" to an uncompromising degree, rigidly in- . sisting on your ideas, your plans, your way of' doing things and your view of reality. .
Take another track. Be yourself by Iloving other people sincerely. Make this so much a part of your dife that "being yourself"actualIy 'means in part loving and caring for..others.
Be sincere. But don't be so
By
TOM
LENNON
sincere that' you speak the truth in ways ithat are· hurtful. Don't in the name of truthfulness say something like, "I hate your new jacket." In other. words, temper truth with tact and kindness.
All this applies to the guy you mention as well as the other friends you have. Take a sincere and caring interest in this young man. If it makes him feel good to talk about his game of soc· ce~, then talk about that sport.
If photography is his hobby, try to. develop an interest' in cameras, film, lighting, composition and so fort·h. .
If his dad .has ,lost his job or is ill" be ready with some .heart· felt sympathy.
Do these things, not to fake. him into H1dng you but to show
'you like him and truly want to share a part of ibis life at this' time.
. Sho~l1d you ev!!r "act like what you think the guy. Jikes?"
On the one hand, you obviously shouldn't say, "I think football is dumb," if the young man isa quarterDack.
On the other hand, if you hate the sport, you might be bored to d~athif you' 'go . to every game.
And you might discover that .you're really not as interested in this young man as you thought you were.
But there's another path you might take before you give up on him. Try developing an in· terest in football or. whatever else int'erests him.' You might find you like the sport when you know more' about :it, and
. your friendship with this young man would perhaps flourish.
And that's one of the values . of new friendships. They can open you up to new ways of looking at things, to new interests, hobbies and experiences.
-But don't play a role. Don't try to manipulate an acquaintance ora friend. Let caring for other!? be your own way of ex· pressing yourself and winning friends.

The .song's message is unclear and of pleasure, nothing lasts
forev~r. Everybody wants to rule the world."
Few of us aspire to do as the song suggests and lIule the world. Yet, having some control over our own lives is important. This type of power and control reo suits from discipline .and selfdirection. Rarely is it· attained only :by seeking fun and pleasure:
To rule the direCtion in our lives" we need a clear idea about where we want to go.' This
. means setting goals and working hard to reach them.
Part of reaching 'goals is hav· ing the discipline to keep try'ing. Perhaps someone has set a vocational goal, for example, to- become a doctor. Such a goal requires a long-range effort to get good· grades, both through high schOOl and college. It will entail sacrifices. Perhaps the person with this goal won':t be able to socialize as much as others or participate in every ..sport he or she likes.
Working toward goals does not mean that our Hves should be joyless. Indeed, we need to find a balance 'between' working for goals and, time spent in activi·ties -that renew us.
:t:'inding such a balance takes time and experience. 'As we learn to work hard when appropriate and to take enjoyable, renewing breaks from our efforts, we establish the type of drive that enables us ·to reach our goals.
I encourage each of you to spend time setting goals for your future. You possess the power and gifts to plan and make decisions about your me. You can be a ruler of your di· rection in 'life.

Predictably, the boy turns out to be too quick a study and has to be taken down a peg before the happy ending. Mediocre entertainment, not very funny and manipulatively sentimental. A'3, PG·13
"National Lampoon's European Vacation" (Warners) The family that cavorted in the original (Chevy Chase and 'Beverly D'Angelo playing the parents) does it again, this time in Europe.

She is the indirect victim of an act of violence that seems whol1y unprovoked. But was it?

Vatican greeting unfavorably
PE~ING (NC) - The Chinese government has 2lccused the Vatican of interfering in China's internal affairs.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Li Zlllaoxing said July 31 that the Vatican "still maintains socal1ed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and continues to interfere in China's internal affairs."
The spokesman was responding to recent remarks by Pope John 'Paul II, who said, "The Catholic Church ~ooks upon China as one great family, the birthplace of lofty traditions and vital energies, rooted in the antiquity of her history and culture."
The pope was relaying a greeting to the Chinese people through a U.S. television crew filming a TV series to be shown in China in 1986.
In the message, he also said that the "church -is sympathetic to the commitment to modernization and progress in which the Chinese people are engaged."
Last year, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Agostino Casaroli said that despite papal initiatives, the Vatican had been unable to establish direct contact with the Chinese government.
China's government-approved National Association ot Patriotic Catholics rejects Vatican ties.

The Bread of August .. You may feel yourself getting hungry during
the Sunday liturgies for August. Woven throughout the readings are rich images of manna, bread, and God feed
ing his people; It's surprising and meaningful that these readings appear in August because from the earliest Christian times this
month has been a time to celebrate the wheat harvest and give special thanks for the grains that will become bread. August was once known as Lammastide ("Loaf Mass") and breads made from first new
wheat were brought to church for blessing and giving to the poor. Few of us have had the experiece of growing wheat: we are probably
much more aware of the full harvest of vegetables, fruits and berries that August brings. Summer is a time when we are blessed with good foods. The
Sunday readings in August invite us to taste and see that the Lord is good and create a hunger for the special bread that gives life forever.
