Island in the sun'marking parish's

125th anniversaryKEY WEST—The history of St. Mary Star of the Sea

parish here is firmly rooted to the earliest days of the set-tlement of this twelve-by-four-mile island at the tip of theFlorida peninsula.

The City of Key West was incorporated Jan. 8,1828.The Catholic population, which numbered only a

handful during the island's earliest days, was under theepiscopal jurisdiction of the Bishop of Savannah, Ga. For 46years Key West was the largest city in Florida with apopulation that later peaked at 23,000.

WHEN Spanish ships, some hundred years before, putinto the island to seek fresh water, they came across thebones of Indians of the migrating Calusa and Carib tribeswho had fought a Ditched battle. The Spanish named the key,Cayo Hueso, (Bone Island) which was corrupted to "KeyWest" by English-speaking settlers.

Miami hadn't been established yet, when Key Westbecame a city, and there was a closer attachment to Havana,only 90 miles away, than to St. Augustine, 480 miles up thecoast of Florida.

Travel was difficult for prests attempting to reach KeyWest from the mainland and they had to rely upon sloops orclipper ships that made the island a port of call. Once or twicea year, priests would travel from Savannah to administer thesacraments to the growing population.

ON ONE occasion, in 1846, records show that Mass wasoffered on the second floor of the old city hall, by a priest whocame from Havana.

The first building, under the supervision of a FatherKirby, was completed in 1851 but was not formally dedicateduntil 1852 by Savannah Bishop Francis X. Gartland.Constructed on Duval St., which extends from the AtlanticOcean to the Gulf of Mexico—the boundaries of the newparish—the white, wooden structure was named St. MaryStar of the Sea Church hy Bishop Gartland.

In 1852 a Father Brogard became pastor of St. Mary'sand in addition he was charged by his Bishop to occasionallyvisit the Catholics of Tampa and later, Tallahassee.

The parish can truthfully attribute the existence of itsschools to stormy weather at sea.

Pope Paul raps thosewho distort Vatican II

VATICAN C I T Y -(NC)-Pope Paul VI told theSwiss bishops that Catholicswho reject the Second VaticanCouncil and the directivesimplementing its decrees orthose who go beyond thecouncil in following their ownideas both "harm the unityand the credibility of theChurch."

Pope Paul received inaudience (Dec. 1) ninemembers of the SwissBishops; Conference, two ofthem abbots, making the visitbishops are required to maketo the Pope every five years.The group was led by BishopPierre Mamie of Lausanne,Geneva and Fribourg,president of the conference.

Neither the Pope norBishop Mamie, in his addresspreceding the Pope's men-tioned traditionalist Arch-bishop Marcel Lefebvre,whose seminary at Econe inSwitzerland is the head-quarters of his movement ofopposition to Vatican II 'sreforms.

But sections of both talksclearly related to the con-troversial archbishop,suspended from the ministrylast year for refusing to obeyPope Paul's order not toordain any more priests.

"Vatican Council II andthe authorized applicationsresulting from it trace theframework of thought and thesure way to follow. Those whoneglect them or want to blockthem by invoking fidelity tothe past are unfaithful to themission of the Church todayand to its responsibility fortomorrow. Those who gobeyond them to follow theirown inspiration build on sanda rootless Church. Both doharm to the unity andcredibility of the Church," thePope said.

Bishop Mamie, in histalk, spoke of "our preoc-cupation and our hopes inwhat concerns all those who,in words and in acts, reject theauthority of the last counciland the authority of theministry and magisterium ofthe successor of Peter, that is,of those who reject theprimacy of today's Pope, His

Holiness Paul VI, whose nameis Peter."

The Swiss bishops' taskis not easy, Bishop Mamiesaid. "Our little country,under appearances oftranquility and well being, hasbeen profoundly marked bythe changes of civilization(which is no longer Christian),both in men's way of thinkingand of living."

The bishop said that thefaith of the young "is nolonger protected by the

family, the school or the city."How can people, he asked,"live human love in a worldthat calls itself more and morecivilized, but which, in fact,advances in decadence?"

The Pope told the bishopsthat the institution of thepermanent diaconate and thecall to various nonordainedministries "are inseparablefrom stimulating and sup-porting priestly vocations."The Church needs both, "eachin its place" he said,

A large banner adorns the altar of St. Augustine Church,with an Advent message in much the same spirit as church-es throughout the Archdiocese, as preparation for specialLiturgies and services grows toward the birthdate of ourSavior.

MysticismBy ARACELI CANTERO

Voice Spanish Editor"I believe that we are •

called to see the presence ofGod everywhere, ineverything and every person,and the one who sees more ofGod is more the mystic, morethe human being and morewhat God wants us to be."

These are the words ofFather George Maloney, S.J.,who talks with the convictionof a seer.

Indeed, vision is one of.his gifts.

A scholar, professor andstudent of Eastern spiritualityfor some 25 years, he seesbeyond everyday realities,seeking reality at its verycenter, discovering ineverything the continuedoutpouring of the Trinity'slove.

Some people think he is amystic, and when they tellhim he laughs withoutdenying it. He explains: "Weare all called to be mystics, it'sjust a matter of seeing more orless."

"IF SOMEONE calls methat, he really can't knowunless he is really judging howmuch I see more than hesees."

"If you only believe inblack and white, you are not amystic, not a Christian, but ifyou are, then you know thatsaints and angels walk withyou, talk with you..." he adds.

world. Through it I becameinterested in Yoga, in thedisciplines of the far East,along with Jungianpsychology where I foundmuch of what I had discoveredand studied in the Fathers ofthe desert," he said,regretting the loss of in-teriority which he finds inmany Western Christians.

"When the Church losesthe contemplative, feminineaspect, of prayer and devotionto Mary, it becomes a Churchmasculine and aggressive, itbuilds on organization tryingto solve problems with humansagacity...

"But there are areas ofour Christian life that are notproblems; they are openingsto life, to mystery, and theyare so real that if put down inblack and white they losereality."

After finishing hisdoctorate studies at thePontifical Oriental Institute inRome, Father Maloneytraveled extensely in the NearEast and spent three summersliving at Mount Athos inNorthern Greece, living with acommunity of Orthodoxmonks," a rugged primitivesociety of men dedicated tothe interior life and silence."

"WE MUST not fearsilence," he says. "Man musthear God saying from thedepths of his being: 'Be stilland know that I am God,'" he

'Silence and solitude must becreated in the heart before ourday begins to unfold... and thenagain in the evening."

Fr. Maloney

Recently in Lantana todirect a retreat at the Cenacle,Father Maloney also spoke atSt. Basil's Catholic Church(Byzantine rite), and he talkedto The Voice about his life,about mysticism, EasternSpirituality, and the role ofMary.

Using Carl Jung'sdefinition of modern man interms of the 'animus' and the'anima,' Father Maloneybelieves that "God wants usto be an integration of bothpolarities, the active and thecontemplative.

"EASTERN spiritualityhas opened me up to theanima in me, to the inner

adds quoting Psalm 46.He advises those seeking

a growth in prayer life to findtime each day to be alone withGod, and he says:

"Silence and solitudemust be created in the heartbefore our day begins tounfold at its hectic pace, andthen again in the evening.

"In the morning, startwith Scripture. Know theobjective Word of God, whatHe has spoken, what He islike, what He has done inJesus...

"Then in the evening, forat least 15 minutes, listen tohow God spoke his wordduring the day, go through it

moment by moment. Insorrow cry out to God ifsomething was wrong, askforgiveness if you hurtanybody and then offer to Godthe next day."

HE CALLS this"reflective healing," and hebelieves it does much todeepen faith in the prayer ofnext morning and through thewhole day.

"My aim in teachingprayer is to have people prayalways," he says, "Not somuch by saying prayers butby having deeper faith, hopeand love.

"And that 's thedefinition of a charismaticChristian," he adds. "One whosees God in everything."

Involved in charismaticrenewal since 1970, he.seeks to"bring my knowledge ofEastern Christianity andEastern mysticism in general,to bear upon and bringteachings to the 'renewal,'something I don't always seedone.

"I don't want to be

negative," he says, referringto one of his recent articlesabout what is known amongcharismatics as 'slain in theSpirit.'

"I want to be verypositive, yet cautious, becauseI understand psychology andthe history of mysticism, andI know the dangers of psychicphenomena when these areobjectivized and sought aspower, or not brought into thelove of God.

"One must be alert andtrained to deal with the fullexistential reahn of the in-terior life," he explains.

"If the individual is illprepared for the plunge intothe deeper levels of expandedconsciousness, it will betotally destructive. It is forthis reason that every form ofmysticism within • a fixedreligion has insisted stronglyon a spiritual director, guru,shaman, or roshi," he says. Atthe same time he believes thatthe rebirth of modern societycan only come about by arebirth experienced in the

deepest reaches of each in-dividual.

"Unless man changes hisinterior world, his outsideworld will continue to reflectthe disturbed world withinhim," he explains as he refersto the 'healing of memories' aspracticed in charismaticrenewal.

Among Catholics, too,the Sacrament of Recon-ciliation is a powerful healingof the inner recesses of ones'consciousness and un-conscious," he adds.

"WHAT MUST beemphasized in the reception ofthe Sacrament is the necessityof the penitent to enter deeplyinto his being and expose hiswounds in their root sources.

"I always insist in having-a context of faith, hope andlove, so that when those innerareas are opened up—jarrede x p e r i e n c e s , in ju redrelationships—they may bebrought into an integration ofhealing."

Formerly a full-timeprofessor at FordhamUniversity, Father Maloney isthe founder of John XXIIIInstitute for EasternChristian studies there, andfounder and editor ofDIAKONIA, an ecumenicalquarterly of dialogue betweenOrthodox and RomanCatholics.

In 1974 he gave up histeaching post at Fordham,except during summers, and"now I am more completelygiven to preaching retreats,teaching seminars onmysticism, writing morebooks, praying more...," hesays.

HE ADMITS he isconstantly in airports, butfinds tremendous strength toc o n t i n u a l l y t r a v-e 1,preach and write by "wake-breaking by sleep at night."

"This I have been doingfor 15 years and the Lordopens up tremendous power jand energy fields within your \body and many creative ideas.

"When you go to sleepand you get up at about 2a.m., to pray you can worktremendously during thefollowing day, because youhave that centering upon Godvery deeply into your heart. Itgives you great calm andpeace and tremendouscreative power."

It must be true since ashe says "Many of my booksI've written in three weeks."

Among them- are: TheCosmic Christ, The Breath ofthe Mystic, Listen Prophets,Inward Stillness, Mary theWomb of God, and JesusMakes Us Free.

Court strikes down reimbursing private schoolsWASHINGTON -

(NC) —The U.S. SupremeCourt, in a 6-3 vote, has struckdown a New York law givingprivate schools some $11million in a one-shot payment

for record-keeping and testingcosts.

The court said theprogram violated the con-stitutional separation ofchurch and state.

AAsgr. Marinas to observehis golden jubilee

Msgr. Arcadio MarinasGarcia will observe the goldenjubilee of his ordination to thepriesthood during a Mass ofThanksgiving at 8 p.m.,Tuesday, Dec. 13 in St. JohnBosco Church.

The Cuban-born priestwho was born in Havanastudied at the Seminary of St.Carlos and St. Ambrose andwas ordained in St. FrancisXavier Church, Marianao onAug. 21, 1927.

As a young priest Msgr.Marinas served as personalsecretary to Bishop ManuelRuiz Rodriguez, first Arch-bishop of Havana, and alsowas secretary of the Arch-diocesan AdministrativeCommittee, chaplain at theSacred Heart School. He laterbecame chancellor and was acanon at the HavanaCathedral and a member ofthe Technical Committee ofthe First InternationalEucharistic Congress inBudapest.

Msgr. Marinas also taughtLatin at the seminary inHavana and president of thePriests' League. Following thedeath of Archbishop Ruiz,Msgr. Marinas continued toserve as chancellor, vicargeneral, dean of the Cathedral,for Cardinal Manuel Arteaga

MSGR. MARINABetancourt.

When the Castro regimetook over in Cuba, Msgr.Marinas spent many hoursplacing seminarians inseminaries' in other countriesand in seeking financial helpfor them and their studies.Many are now in the UnitedStates, Europe, and CentralAmerica. When he first cameto the U.S., Msgr. Marinaslived in New York where heassisted at St. Nicholas ofTolentine Church, Bronx. Helater came to Miami and hassince assisted at St. JohnBosco Church.

The case centers around alaw the New York legislaturepassed in 1970 to pay privateschools for certain tests andkeeping track of certain healthand personnel records.

" That law was ruledunconstitutional by a federalcourt which ordered thelegislature not to pay out anymoney under the law.

But the legislature votedin 1972 to reimburse theprivate schools for the moneythey spent for the 1971-72school year. Those costs cameto about $11 million a year.

The 1972 law has beentied up in the courts.Cathedral Academy, anAlbany, N.Y., Catholic school,sued for its reimbursement ina test case while some 2,000other schools waited for theresults of the suit.

The Supreme Court ruledthat the state aid was just asunconstitutional in 1972 andtoday as it was in 1970. *

Justice Potter Stewartsaid in the court's opinion that"the state legislature...tookaction inconsistent with thecourt's order" not to pay outany money under the un-constitutional 1970 law.

Stewart said the aid "is

unconstitutional because itwill of necessity either havethe primary effect of aidingreligion or will result inexcessive state entanglement

in religious affairs."Stewart also said some of

the tests funded by theprogram could be used toteach religious doctrine.

'Island in the sun' parish, 125 years old(Continued from page 1)

In 1859 some 12 Sisters ofthe Holy Names of Jesus andMary bound for the west toestablish a convent werepassengers aboard a schoonerwhich was forced to takeshelter in Key West harborbecause of inclement weather.

The Sisters found theonly source of education in theisland were two privateschools. Children of parentswho were financially unable topay the tuition were beingreared without schooling.

AFTER arriving at theirport of destination, the Sisterswrote to Bishop AugustinVerot of Savannah about thelack of educational op-portunities on the far flungcoral island.

Following a lengthyi n v e s t i g a t i o n , a n dcorrespondence with theorder's motherhouse inCanada, approval was givento establish a school.

When the merchantshipSedwidge sailed out of NewYork harbor on the morning ofOct. 17, 1868, there were fiveSisters of the Holy Namesaboard bound for Key West.

On the very first day atsea, the Sedwidge encounteredrough weather and after atempestuous voyage, thefreighter sailed into Key West,shortly after daylight, Oct. 24.

After discharging somepassengers and freightconsigned to the island theSedwidge sailed for Texas.She never reached herdestination. She went down inthe Gulf with loss of all handson board.

DURING the years of theCivil War, Key West was theonly city south of the MasonDixon line to remain com-pletely in control of the UnionArmy and was stronglyfortified.

The Sisters found theonly available building was anabandoned army barracks onWhitehead St., opposite thelighthouse. With financial andmanual assistance of thecitizens, the barracks wasready for the first pupils, 12white girls, within a month.

In 1869 a severe epidemicof yellow fever forced theschool to close its doors until1871, when the Convent ofMary Immaculate held itsfirst graduation exercises.

On Jan. 16, 1872 theschool was forced to closeagain because of a smallpoxepidemic.

THERE was an urgentneed for nurses, especiallyamong the stricken blackpopulation. The Sisters of theHoly Names volunteered theirservices to the city and wereassigned to duty in the "pesthouse" which had been builtin an isolated section of the

but on nearby Dry TortugasKey as well.

St. Mary's, the only' Catholic Church in SouthFlorida at the time, has therecords of baptisms andmarriages conducted byFather Dufau, who visitedseveral Catholics in March,1872 "in a place generallyknown as Miami."

In 1872, St. FrancisXavier School for Negrochildren was opened by theSisters, under the auspices ofthe parish. St. Joseph's, aparochial school for boys wasestablished in 1880 under thedirection of the Jesuit fathers.From Oct. 3, 1873 until June,1878 the Sisters staffed aspecial school for Cuban girls.

WHEN the Spanish-American War broke out in1898, the Sisters closed theirschools to place their servicesand their buildings at thedisposal of the government forhospital purposes. Classroomswere turned into wards for thewounded and quarters formedical personnel. The Navyerected other temporarybuildings which the Sistersused until 1966. Tents werepitched on the grounds andrecords show the "totalcapacity was 400, withoutcrowding." No remunerationwas asked from the govern-ment either for the use of thebuildings or for the services ofthe Sisters. The Navy met theSisters' one specified con-dition—that the schools bereturned after the war in thesame condition as they hadbeen when accepted.

In January, 1875 con-struction on the Convent ofMary Immaculate wasstarted. This is the buildingused as a hospital and which

Although many membersof the Society of Jesus wereamong the early pastors, itwas not until February, 1898,that St. Mary's Church wastransferred to the care of theJesuits, with Father Friendappointed pastor.

On Sept. 20, 1901 theChurch was destroyed by anarsonist. Mass was offered on atemporary altar in theConvent of Mary Immaculateuntil a new church, the,present structure, was con-structed on the corner ofTruman and Windsor lane,under the direction of FatherFriend. It was dedicated Aug.20, 1905 by Bishop W.J.Kenny. The Church hasundergone several renovations.

In 1904 the Florida EastCoast railroad completedconstruction of it 's line,joining the Florida Keys fromMiami to Key West. Duringthe years the railroad wasbeing built, priests were calledon numerous occasions todeliver the last rites to work-men who had been injured.Several hundred died duringthe construction.

Let Nativity tell Gospel messageCHICAGO - ( N C ) -

Sulpician Father RaymondBrown said the Christmasstory is a capsule of the rest ofthe Gospel, and should beused to preach it.

"The infancy narrativesare so dramatic that peopleremember them while theyforget the rest of the Gospelstory," Father Brown said in

an interview. "So why notmake Christmas the occasionto stress the connection be-tween the infancy narrativesand the essentials of theGospel?"

Union Theological Seminaryin New York and a leadingecumenist. His remarks aboutthe Christmas story appear inthe December issue of U.S.Catholic magazine.

According to FatherBrown, Matthew's infancynarrative is a "passionnarrative" that anticipatesthe rest of the Gospel. "Youcan read the same things inthe Gospel story, but theinfancy narrative is in suc-cinct form. I think this is thekey to the narrative. Matthewsays what we say about everygreat figure: Look, the traitswhich made him significantwere there even in childhood."

The priest said that theChristmas stories of Matthewand Luke are also a bridgewith the Old Testament. "Thewriters of Matthew and Lukehave a sense that you don'tstart the story of Jesus

without knowing the story ofIsrael."

Father Brown noted thesimilarities between the birthof Moses and Jesus. Moses'birth was foretold in a dreamto his father, Amram. Hisbirth prompted the slaughterof infant Jewish males at thehands of a jealous ruler. Hewas saved from that slaughterby a warning in a dream.

"THIS MOSES storywas being told in Jesus' timeand is the background for thekind of story Matthew toldabout Jesus," Father Brownsaid.

The priest said foremotional, psychological,social and economic reasons,Christmas is the most im-portant feast in the Church.

"Now you can wailagainst it," he said, "butyou're not going to getanywhere. Therefore, why not

Respect formotherhoodwhere doesit stand?

By Angela M. Schreiber"Baby trap." —"There's more to

life than just being a mother."—"Motherhood isn't all it's cracked upto be. Find a career and you'll knowfulfillment." —"Every marriagedoesn't need children."—"How canyou find out who YOU are in a worldof diapers?"

The past decade has producedcountless articles and numerousbooks promoting these ideas. Asizeable number of women (and men)believe a great deal of what they haveread. Why?

Probably the biggest reason isthe economic situation families facetoday. In many homes, it does taketwo salaries. Self fulfillment is ap-pealing. Modern conveniences makehomemaking less time consuming.And some women cannot be satisfiedwithout a work career.

Respect for motherhood is injeopardy. And children don't justgrow up by themselves successfully.They need mothering if they are tobecome the kind of adults we wantthem to be.

So where does all this leave us?First, we must face the changingattitudes about the role of woman insociety. Like almost everything else,there are good things this change isbringing and bad things.

On the plus side, society isbeginning to recognize that womenhave as much intelligence as men.Women have entered the mainstreamof the professions, business and

politics. When children have grownup, many women who might havefound themselves widowed, or withso much time on their hands thatthey didn't know what to do with itare apt to have built interests andtalents that might never have sur-faced.

The woman who has to raise afamily alone, whether throughdivorce or loss of her husbandthrough death, has betterpossibilities of finding a job thatpays an adequate wage. Society isrealizing that women are not cut fromthe same mold. We are learning tosuccessfully combine motherhood,wifehood and career. A new respectfor single women is developing. Menare realizing that mothering andhomemaking should not be taken forgranted. Some men are rediscoveringthe joys of fatherhood.

On the negative side, somewomen's groups, in their efforts toenter the competitive world, haveattacked the vocations ofmotherhood and homemaker withsuch force that a number of youngpeople question the wisdom ofbecoming parents. Since the cost ofliving continues to soar, providingfor a family becomes increasinglymore difficult.

Focus on the development of theindividual can foster the kind ofselfishness that tears down themarriage relationship of buildingtogether. Literature, as well as othermedia, that has torn down respect forraising children has brought with it anegative attitude toward marriageand homemaking.

The economic situation is notlikely to change. Women will neveragain be willing to leave the main-stream. We are well into a transitionperiod which began with thetechnological advances and an actualneed to use the talents of the entirehuman race. And in the midst of it allis the family.

The past decade has taught usquite a lot about family. We havelearned that schoolage children can-not be left unsupervised after school;babies and pre-schoolage childrenshould have the mother's entire timeif at all possible; if the family is tosurvive as a unit, every member mustwork together; liesure time has takenon greater significance; we'reexamining the quality of timeparents spend with children.

The changes that have takenplace are massive, yet some thingshave not changed and will neverchange. The dependence human

beings have for one another. Thewonderful discovery of love foranother. The unspeakable joy amother experiences when she sees herinfant for the first time. The hope forthe future reborn with every newgeneration.

Answers to each new challengethe human race faces came a longtime ago with the coming of anInfant born in Bethlehem. Today Hetells us that He did not choose tosimply appear in the world. He choseto be born of woman. The greatestgift that could possibly be bestowedon mankind, He chose to give to awoman! Woman alone knew the joyof nurturing the life of the Lordwithin her body. All womankindshares in the gift God gave to Maryeach time a new babe is born. Onlywoman can bring forth new life.

And God honored man bychoosing Joseph for His earthlyfather figure. Jesus, Mary andJoseph were a family. But as im-portant as the task of bringing Jesusto adulthood was, Mary and Josephhad to be about the business ofnormal everyday living. They, too,had to learn to do a variety of thingswell. And so can we. He will neverchallenge us with anything thatcannot be met.

Wanted and unwanted in modern worldBy Fr. Joseph M. Champlin

Every Sunday a childlesscouple in our parish par-ticipates at one of the Massesand prays for the gift of ababy. It appears very unlikelythat the infant so earnestlydesired will come from herwomb and be the result oftheir loving sexual union.

Thus they wait and waitand wait, hoping for a childunwanted by another, butdeeply wanted by the two ofthem. Reading statistics froma large eastern city indicatingthere were more abortionsthan births last year in thatmetropolis must cause thisfine husband and wife greatdistress, perhaps anger.

"We will love and care forthe tiny one inside of you,even if you won't. Please justgive us a chance. Have yourbaby and allow us to share atleast the joy of parenting,since we cannot taste thedelight of fatherhood andmotherhood." Unspokenwords like these probably runthrough their minds afterhearing data about increasesin abortions or listening to apregnant woman complainabout her situation.

That certainly representsone aspect of motherhood inthe modern world. Another,however, concerns thosespouses who hope to havechildren or an additional one,

but not right now. What doesa couple like that do whenthey have pondered theircondition carefully, purifiedtheir motives, prayed forguidance and judge, as far asthe light of their consciencesdictates, God calls them toavoid conceiving a baby atthis time?

Current surveys lead usto believe that most Americanhusbands and wives, in-cluding Roman Catholic ones,turn to some artificialchemical or mechanical meansfor resolution of the dilemma.Contrary to statements that"birth control" is no longer aconscience problem for U.S.Catholics, my pastoral ex-

perience reveals many spousescontinue to experience guiltand anxiety over suchdecisions. Moreover, there areapparently a substantialnumber of people who reactnegatively to these artificialmethods for medical oraesthetic reasons.

Such people might in-vestigate natural familyplanning, a relatively new,generally not well publicizedsystem of developing anawareness of a woman'sfertility in order to spacepregnancies. Different fromthe older calendar rhythmmethod, this sympto-thermalapproach, based chiefly onpresent fertility signs, seemsto offer a viable alternative for

contemporary couples. Itsadvocates maintain thatnatural family planning,practiced faithfully by WP"instructed spouses, can pnas effective as the pill, &~ceptable to the Church andcompletely devoid of harmfulside effects.

Several diocese havefamily life offices sponsoringworkshops on this program.In the Archdiocese of Miamithe Family EnrichmentCenter recently established byArchbishop McCarthy, iscompleting plans for aworkshop with prominentspeakers the weekend of April8 of next year, for those in-terested in natural familyplanning.

AVE MARIA:

By Fr. Alfred McBride

One of the most striking featuresof medieval piety was devotion to theVirgin Mary. Practically every majorgothic cathedral was either namedafter her (Notre Dame-Our Lady) orhoused a splendid shrine in herhonor. Surviving art works show heras a queen offering her Son Jesus tothe world. Legends, songs, prayers,litanies about the Virgin Maryabound.

Some liberated women today,looking back on this, argue that themale dominated Church put Mary ontoo high a pedestal. By moving her sofar from earth, men could do thesame to all women and thus renderwomen ineffective in the day-to-daymanagement of affairs. According tothis argument, the medieval Churchset a pattern, through the Mariandevotion, that would endure to thisday.

The point seems to be that Maryas role model for women was a meansto keep women in a subservientposition. By moving Mary to a leveltoo far beyond the human, religiousdevotion in effect dehumanized her.In a like manner, by over idealizingall women, men in effectdehumanized them. The substance ofthe criticism is then: Devotion toMary has generally been bad newsfor the state of womanhoodthroughout history. Marian devotionsimply reinforced the male chauvinistposition with religious reasons.

Yet a sensitive meditation on themedieval art works depicting theVirgin Mary reveal quite anotherpicture. Far from making Mary agoddess to be co-opted by males, theartists portrayed the immense

imanity of Mary. She comesarough, not as a cold goddess, but

as a warm earth mother. And if onesings and chants the prayers, songsand poems of the period whilecontemplating the statues andsculptures, one gets the clear im-pression that Mary is a welcomeocean of love, and a perceptivewoman anxious to bring freedom andfulfillment to those seeking her goodcounsel.

Still, in all fairness, it should besaid that there is some truth in theaccusation that devotion to Mary hasbeen used to misrepresent the role of

was she dehumanized?

woman. Be it also said that we havemisused Jesus to misrepresent therole of man as well. Our sinful side isvery clever in abusing the religiousmessage entrusted to our care.

Having admitted that we areperfectly capable of diluting religioustruth, we should also boast that inthe longrun the history of Christianshas been a valiant effort, with God'sgrace, to bring the real Gospel valuesto bear on human living. We know weare sinners. We also believe the Spiritof truth abides with us to help us inpositive achievements.

The key to women's liberation isfound in Paul's statement: "InChrist you are neither male orfemale." (Galatians 3,28) Despite themistakes, the record shows thatChristians have been instrumental in

liberating women throughout theages. It was precisely the Christianattitude to women that caused somany of them to join the Church inthe early period.

Devotion to Mary has been a keyideal in bringing this about. Byupholding her unique humanity andwomanly virtues, the Church hasreminded the male population thatwomen are not playthings,possessions, chattels or mere maritalconveniences. A woman is a personjust as much as a man. She deservesthe same respect, reverence andfreedom as a male.

The medieval Church saw thisand much more. Mary representedspiritual comfort and human hope.The legend of Herman the Lame tellsthe story of a lame baby left at a

monastery door. The monks take himin, raise him and train him to be amath teacher. He becomes a brilliantteacher. His lameness doesn't em-barrass him, but causes him life-longbackaches. He lives a cheerful,productive life. On his death bed he isasked by the monks to tell them thesecret of his spirituality. He asks fora pad and pen, upon which he writesthese words:

"Hail, holy queen, mother ofmercy, my life, my sweetness and myhope. To you did I cry, poor banishedchild of Eve. To you did I send up mysighs, mourning and weeping in thisvalley of tears. And you turned, mostgracious advocate, your eyes ofmercy toward me. Now, after this,my exile show unto me the blessedfruit of your womb. Jesus O clement,0 loving, 0 sweet Virgin Mary."

Some insights of Christmases post

Last Sunday we heard FatherJohn McGrath, our pastor atVisitation Parish, give a homily onAdvent and Christmas. The thoughtshe shared were of real insight to usand prompted other thoughts thatfollow from Mimi's column lastweek. He reminded us that Adventwas a time of preparation forChristmas and that Christmas isChrist's birthday not ours. He gaveus a little history on how personsprepared for Christmas centuries agoand provided insight into suchtraditions as the Christmas tree andSt. Nicholas.

It seems that during the Adventseason we often forget what we arereally preparing for—the comingof Christ into the world—of Godbecoming man, of the revelation ofGod's saving power and love for us.We tend to shop for presents, sendout Christmas cards and becomeinvolved in some superficial thingsthat really don't even relate closely toChristmas.

I don't suggest we do away withall the traditions we all have ob-served over these many years. Let'sjust reapply them the way weoriginally intended.

The Christmas tree is far more

By TERRY and MIMIREILLY

than a decoration and can become asignificant reminder to us of Christand his life, death and resurrection.The decorating of the tree canbecome a joyful and meaningfulexperience. When decorating the treethis year share with the children thatback in the Middle Ages white waferswere hung on the tree to symbolizeChrist in the Eucharist. Over thecenturies the wafers evolved into ourpresent day decorations. Candles litthe trees symbolizing Christ theLight of the World. Today we useelectric multi-colored lights insteadyet they too can be symbolic ofChrist.

Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas,was a bishop who gave gifts to thepoor and teaches us the grace ofgiving. He's not some kind ofnebulous white bearded fairy thattickles children with his gifts. Onefamily we know adopts some personor family and gives giftsanonymously. Another familypurchases a baby layette for anewborn and gives it to the nearestBirthright organization. One thoughtyou might consider is changing yourgifts "from Santa Claus" to "fromJesus." We often do this in ourfamily.

There are so many opportunitiesto seek out the real "ChristmasSpirit" and put Christ into Adventand Christmas. A natural is the timethat we have with our family andfriends at parties and sharing in

A family seated togethersharing a crossed bread.

meals. Be present to your family andfriends in a special way by talkingabout the gifts of time and loveyou've given to one another. Whenyou exchange gifts on Christmas youmight also include a letter to eachfamily member giving them a gift ofyour time and love.

The opportunity to touch friendsand relatives who won't be presentcertainly exists with the exchange ofChristmas cards. How unfortunate itis to see a Christmas card that reallyexpresses very little of Christ.

A great tradition to start in thefamily are tape recorded messages.Borrow a cassette machine ifnecessary and tape an Adventmessage from each family member.Christmas Eve play it. Keep thetapes from year to year with theholiday decorations and plan to playthe old tapes from the past as well asadding a new one. As years pass,hear how thoughts and voice changewith time.

As Advent progresses and theChristmas rush begins to close in onyou may the words below, taken fromthe Advent Booklet of St. Joan of

Arc Parish in Boca Raton, be ofenrichment.

Your Christmas lights will goout.

Your Christinas tree will fade.Your Christmas gifts will wear

out.Your Christmas tinsel will be

forgotten.

ONLY CHRIST WILL REMAIN.Long after the Christmas dinner

is eaten.Long after the merry-making is

hushed,Long after the guests have

departed.Long after the gift certificate is

cashed.

CHRIST WILL REMAIN.He will be one with you because

he came to identify with you.He will endow your life with

meaning.He will bless your home with

unfailing joy.He will bring fulfillment when

life seems empty.He will give refreshment when

you grow weary.Yes, He will do all these things

and many more, because"He was made man"

HE WILL CONTINUECHRISTMAS FOR YOU AS LONGAS YOU WISH.PREPARE THE WAY OF THELORD!

Family NightTHE 3RD WEEK OF ADVENT:

Opening Prayer

Christ, Light of the World,Shine above me.Shine below me,Shine around me.

Christ, Light of the World,Sparkle within me,Dance within me,Speak within me,Command within me.

Christ, Light of the World,Take me, mold me,Use me, hold me,For I love you, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Activity TimeThis week the pink candle of joy is lit on the family

Advent wreath to remind us Christmas Eve is drawingever near. Tonight may be used to reflect back overAdvent thus far and plan what still needs to be done toprepare for Christmas.

Choose one or more of the following:Young family—The Joy Tree—materials; small

table size tree or large vase of greens, pens, pieces ofpaper two inches by 4 inches, red and green yarn orribbon. Each family member fill a couple cards with ashort prayer of praise or thanksgiving to God forblessings in the family or for friends during thisAdvent. The little Joy Notes may be hung on the treewith the colored yarn or ribbon. Place the tree in aprominent place, along with new cards, yarn, andpens so that the family and friends may continue toplace note prayers on the tree up until Christmas Eve.December 24th collect them all together and wrapthem as a gift for the baby Jesus to be openedChristmas Eve.

Medium—Birthday Box for Jesus—materials; onegood-size box, a bible, wrapping paper, ribbon, tape,

writing paper, pen. Place the bible in the box with amarker set at Luke 2:1-20, "The ChristmasNarrative." Then write a family letter to Jesus (sayanything in people's hearts, a welcome, whateveranyone wishes). Place the letter and bible in the box.Wrap the box and place it under the tree to be openedChristmas Eve and shared.

Adult-Bake Time—together make homemadeChristmas cookies or candies.Snack

Eggnog and homemade ginger bread boys.

Closing PrayerOh Wonderous and Gentle Lord, thank you for the

beauties of this evening. How grateful our family is toYou for the precious mystery of Advent and Christmas.Help us to continue to prepare our hearts and minds forthe holiness and awe of Christmas.

Advent is the season of the 'Anawim'By MARY MAFER

Margaret A' ,/ood, acontemporary Canadianwriter, in her recent novel,"Surfacing," let her maincharacter, a 30-year-oldwoman struggling for renewedidentity, say this:

"This above all, to refuseto be a victim. Unless I can dothat I can do nothing. I haveto recant, give up the oldbelief that I am powerless andbecause of it nothing I do willever hurt anyone. A lie whichwas always more disastrousthan the truth would havebeen."

Advent is aboutdependency and in-dependency, knowing thenurturing and the toxic kindsof both. Some types ofdependence are healthy for us;other types are destructive.Some types of independencyare healthy; others are selfdiminishing. And then, ofcourse, between the two liesthe interdependency thatrelates them to each other.Advent is the season of the"anawim," those independent,courageous faithful ones ofYahweh, who depended uponHim for even their food, thatgrain which was left in thefields after harvesting andproclaimed to belong to thesepoor ones. They are called thelowly, the little ones whoremained faithful to God, evenin hard times.

And yet, anawim neverappear victimized, never sit ontheir thumbs moaning abouttheir hurt, never look likepassive dependents gaining alot of credit for their piety and

the anawim to take a closerlook at this process in ourfaith lives now. We know thatdependency upon God doesnot blot out our own actionand initiative, toss us into the"God-will-take-care-of-us-and-it-doesn't-matter-what-we-do"

alienating more by theirnaivete. They did not cling totheir pain as if that gave themtheir identity. Albert Camuswould have liked them for hespoke and wrote often ofdisliking those Christianbelievers who climbed on thecross simply to be seen a longway off.

We all experience thestruggle which we havethroughout our lives tobalance our emotional healthdepends to a large extent onhow we work through themany stages of this dialecticin our lives.

During this season ofAdvent we are called through

attitude. God does not invitefaith as a substitution forworking through our feelings.

Consider the majesticRuth of the Hebrew Scrip-tures. She depended upon theGod of Naomi's people and yetshe was a spunky decisionmaker on her own. A mar-velous feminist!

Consider John the

Baptist who counseleddepending upon God and thenacted with a personal forcewhich is almost unbelievable.

Consider the Abraham-like Mary, Mother of Jesus,who said that all she didmagnified God and then, inJewish style, was concreteenough to take off across thecountryside to help Elizabeth.

Of course, many of ourimages of God depend uponhow we really ask very basicquestions of our relationshipwith God. Questions such as:Is faith for the weak, forovercoming those weaknesseswe have? Does belief in Godalso involve our strength?Does it involve times when weexperience dependency andindependency? (I am notsuggesting that dependency isweak and independencystrong.) Does faith knock outthat necessary confrontationwith feeling that is sonecessary to human life? Doesfaith make us more men andwomen, not sniveling by-products of a misreading ofgrace? Does faith excite us tostrenuous lives of justice?

It is the season of theanawim, the little ones whoreally are quite colossal. LikeTolkien's hobbits, when weget close to them, we feel howright it is with our hearts to beboth needy and independent.And the thing that holds usmost from understanding ouranawim nature is the littlefears in our lives which wegive importance to by makingthem big.

But at the risk ofadding to the hype, let's sayshe dominates the screen as noactress has since Jane Fondain a similar role in "Klute."

Part of the reason for thatdominance is the generalfailure of writer-directorRichard Brooks ("In ColdBlood") to provide much elseto notice or think about. Hisadaptation of JudithRossner's 1975 qualitybestseller diminishes theoriginal so clumsily that italmost seems a remake of"Jekyll and Hyde."

As a novel, "Goodbar" isessentially a why-did-it-happen story, beginning withthe brutal slaying (based onthe 1973 Roseann Quinn case)of a young, apparentlyconventional Irish Catholicschoolteacher in a sleazyGreenwich Village flat, andflashing back to tell her lifestory.

There were many tragicingredients: a rigid andloveless upbringing, traumat-ic childhood disease, theproblem of competing withmore successful sisters, andfinally a sour romance with amarried college prof who usedher, then dropped her. Thusscarred and rejected, TheresaDunn turned to the casualn o n - d e m a n d i n g sexrelationships of the singlesbars where she met men aswounded as herself, and begana figurative descent into hell.

There was value in allthis. Rossner, after severalgood novels that didn't sell,had a commercial sex-and-violence subject. (She got over$500,000 for paperback andmovie rights). Moralists couldsee it as a story with an ob-vious point. There was ex-ploration of the fate of thesingle woman adrift in thewicked city, and especially ofthe pits of the singles bars.Feminists were pleased by theliterary breakthrough (afemale initiating sexual en-counters and using them asonly males had been allowedto do) and by the descriptionof the destructive power ofmen over women.

The movie goes straightfor the obvious. Brooksdoesn't begin with themurder, and so is able tosuggest that almost any ofTheresa's boy friends werecapable of killing her, whichi m m e d i a t e l y f o r c e smelodramatic distortion ofcharacter. Thus, the one manin the book who is sym-pathetic and non-exploitingand offers Theresa a chancefor love that she is afraid toaccept, comes on in the film asjust a different, more pathetickind of psycho.

Her family life is hardlyexplained at all, with herfather (Richard Kiley) as aloud-mouthed boor who

CATHOLIC CHURCH

watches TV in his Notre Damejacket, and her sister(Tuesday Weld) as a flaky,whimpering sexpot. Theelements of Catholic culturethat manage to leak onto thescreen are so dumb andbizarre that the Moonies incomparison would seem likebrain surgeons.

The net effect is thatthere is no clear motivation forher double life, aside from aneurotic need for sex and thebad luck of meeting one rottenweirdo after another. We don'tlock into the heroine's per-sonal tragedy, and we don'tsee her as a typical lonelysingle, either. What we do see,endlessly, is a lot of kinkygroping in dimly lit bedrooms,in which Keaton sets somesort of record for variations onsimulated ecstacy, and forbeing beaten up and finallyexpunged in artycinematography.

The central difficulty isthat Brooks has turned apossibly touching, pitiful andmeaningful reality into a"Cuckoo's Nest" of sick andimprobable characters who, attimes, are even expected toamuse us. Keaton seems themost normal and likeablecharacter in the film, andincredibly, her relentless sexand drug activity seemsalmost cool.

Write "Goodbar" downas Missed Opportunity. Itmay be a landmark in Ms.Keaton's career, and in ex-ploring sex from a woman'sviewpoint. But the moviestarted with those assets, andtook them nowhere. (C, R)

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, December 9,1977 / Page 17

MATTER OF OPINION ***»>Editorial )

Fascell's abortion view short-sightedOn page 19 of this issue of The Voice is

an interview with Rep. Dante Fascellconcerning his generally pro-abortionvoting record in congress. The interviewattempts to divine Fascell's views onabortion, and what comes through is anapparent unconcern for pre-natal life.

He does not favor any kind of human lifeamendment to the Constitution because "Ibelieve we shouldn't be amending theConstitution with respect to that..."

As for statutory law, Fascell does notlike the Hyde Amendment (which restrictsgovernment spending for abortions)because "it is much too restrictive."

What about statutory law that is lessrestrictive, making expections for suchthings as incest or injury to health or life?Fascell says "I'd probably have less dif-ficulty supporting" such a measure (em-phasis ours).

Notice, he does not say he would like tosupport such a measure protecting unbornlife, just that he would have "less dif-ficulty."

Asked if he thought the unborn shouldhave any rights at all, the Congressman

falls back into vague relativism in terms ofhow people could always disagree from alegal, religious and social point of view. Ofcourse, that answer would be true onpractically any issue that comes beforeCongress.

Asked at what point he would protecthuman life, his reply was that he could notmake any exact point and raised questionsabout viability, normalcy, deformity andsaid "all of these things trouble me."

Again, as in many other issues, thereare gray areas that are troublesome butrequire research, judgment and then adefinite stand.

Fascell has been progressive and rightin many areas of legislation, but like manypeople he appears to be uninformed aboutviability of young fetuses, their humannessand medical technology of premature birth.As he said, "I haven't gone into that aspectof the change in viability..."

What he probably is highly informed onis a whole batch of social problems such asteenage pregnancy, ghetto living and such.And like many Congressmen and citizens heprobably feels (though he didn't come right

out and say it) that abortion is a solution tosome of these social problems.

What Rep. Fascell and others aren'tfacing is that those social problems con-tinue on and on and that abortion doesn'tclear them up. In some ways it even com-pounds them by presenting what appears tothe individual to be a solution ("Well, it'sokay if I get pregnant. The government willget me an abortion.") And because abortionappears to give at least a partial solution italso tends to minimize in the minds ofpeople such as Fascell and the public theneed to come up with more in-depth socialsolutions that will minimize the number ofunwanted pregnancies and maximize thedignity of any woman who does becomepregnant by placing a high priority on thehuman life she is capable of creating.

Some alternatives to abortion havealready been proposed by theAdministration, but as long as leaders likeFascell take lightly the killing of human lifein its gestation period, then other morehumane and dignified solutions to suchsocial problems will be likely to get lesssupport.

Why is Our Lady of Guadelupe popular in the U.S.?Q. We always think of

Our Lady of Guadelupe as aMexican idea and feast. Whyis it such a popular devotionand celebration in the UnitedStates? (Iowa)

A. There are at least twogood reasons. First, the manyUnited States citizens ofMexican descent, and those ofother nationalities, are thank-fully very proud of theirreligious and other customsand feasts. They have helpedmake the devotion to OurLady of Guadelupe popularhere.

Second, in one importantway, the feast is as much oursas theirs. When the BlessedVirgin appeared to the IndianJuan Diego on the hill nearMexico City, the year was1521, nearly 100 years beforethe Pilgrims landed atPlymouth Rock. At this time,of course, there wei •• none ofthe present boundaries ornations in the Ne-• World,thus the event at ; adeluperemains a signific me notonly for Mexico bv all theAmericas.

The Feast of ady ofGuadelupe is De>

Q. What can with

old blessed candles, pictures,statues, etc., that we don'twant to keep and can't begiven away? (Fla.)

A. They should beburned, broken or otherwisedestroyed and then discarded.Such items are no longerconsidered blessed once theylose their identity.

Q. I think the time hascome for the confessional boxto go and I am convincedthousands agree with me. Youcan hear what is being said onthe other side and even in theback seat of the church. It'svery embarrassing. I wishthere were more group con-fessions at Mass. Where dothey have these? (Mass.)

A. There may bethousands who agree with youabout traditional con-fessionals, but there are alsothousands who would giveyou quite a fight. Never-theless the problems youmentioned can be considerableand they are not yours alone.

A growing number ofchurches now have con-fessional rooms rather than(or in addition to) thetraditional booths. This notonly provides more privacy,

but allows a face-to-facerelationship with the priestwhich many find helpful, andallows a much more ap-propriate use of the new Riteof Penance. A completelyanonymous confession with a"screen" is also possible inthese rooms; it's up to thepenitent how he wishes to doit.

As you indicate, there arecommunal penitential ritesheld occasionally in most*churches, however, to receivethe sacrament of Penance, atleast private confession of sinsis normally included, eventhough all other ceremoniesand prayers for the sacramentmay be public. You wouldhave to watch the parish

bulletins for these occasions orcall a parish to obtain theinformation.

Incidentally, you will dothe priest a favor if you tellhim about the "overhearingproblem." He's probablyunaware of it.

Time is running out

"Some years ago, it seems, a Europeanaquarium ran short of sea water just as it receiveda shipment of live salt water invertebrates, suchas beautiful anemone, delicate feather dusterworms or gorgonians.

"Since the formula for sea water is wellknown, the curators decided to manufacturesome. This was soon done. But when the marinecreatures were installed in it they soon died.

"Then) an inspiration. Some real sea waterwas added to a tub of the man-made and thefragile beings that were put in it lived.

"Is this not marvelous? It implies that eachof the trillions of drops that the great oceanscomprise has a life of its own, an invisible sparkthat we do not understand, but that makespossible the incredible myriads of marine lifeforms...Surely this blessed miracle of life is thegreatest treasure on earth..."

This is not a quote from a theology manual,but from the pen of the renowned underwaterscientist who has become the guardian and in-terpreter of the seas—Jacques-Yves Cousteau.

"This blessed miracle of life is the greatesttreasure..." Undeniably true, of course, and one ofthe themes of the Advent season when the Churchturns us gently, but firmly, to consider man, thehighest form of life, awaiting his end, the

fulfillment of his destiny.You have noticed the change in attitude to

Advent. The penitential thrust of a generationago has lost some of its force. We were fighting alosing battle in making Advent a miniature Lent,while Christmas music and pageants' on theChrist Child and holiday plans for travel andfamily reunion were occupying our minds.

So without ignoring the ever present need ofprayer and penance, the Church is stressing thevalue of our life in the mystery of salvation. In theliturgy of these days, we hear of tribulations,disasters, wars, famine and final judgment, butall this is balanced by the promised return ofJesus in majesty and triumph. Thus the panoramaof ancient history is brought down to theboundaries of our own lives, and we are faced withthe reckoning of the use of personal freedpm, theterrible responsibility of choosing the Way, theTruth and the Life, or rejecting it for all eternity.

The Church urges us to be reflective aboutthis life we hold in such a fragile frame. See howprecious it is, she tells us; don't be a foolishgambler and risk losing the most valuable of allgifts. Seek the light and avoid the darkness. Bevigilant and wide awake. We don't know at whatmoment the judgment may come, not for thewhole world, but for me, the moment when it willbe noised abroad that I am dying.

Hugh Lavery in a meditation of Advent inhis "In a Glass Darkly," quotes a writer assaying, "I am an atheist in the daytime, but at

night I have second thoughts."The night and its mystery move even the

most buoyant extrovert to reflection. In themorning with the sun high and the drabbest citydyed to gold, a man may believe himself lord ofthe world. No heavy thoughts of mortalitycontend with his elation. What need of a creator?Who needs Christ? There is salvation in the veryscent of the morning and all's well with a won-derful world.

"The night brings second thoughts. As theday dies, a man may observe the faultless ritual ofsunset with a quiet melancholy. Perhaps withfear. Night troubles the mind and burdens theheart as it inks over the bright blue enamel of thesky. It is then that man senses his need, becomesaware of weakness. No longer is he the king ofcreation. No longer captain of his soul."

We are in darkness now in this life. Nomatter how bright the sun in the daytime, howbrilliantly lighted are the streets and homes atnight, we cannot yet see God nor the worldlessgreatness of Christ's death, resurrection andascension. Except for what Jesus has taught us,we cannot see the priceless treasure of our lives.We take it on faith that we must prepare everysingle day for our meeting with Jesus, seekingenlightenment through our prayer and works ofcharity and mercy, seeking guidance and strengththrough greater dependence on the liturgy.

We have something extraordinary to see. Nolonger can we waste time, says the Church inAdvent. Because time is running out...

By Dick Conklin

Rep. Fascell gives abortion viewsMiami's Rep. Dante Fascell is

one of the most consistently pro-abortion congressmen inWashington. Why does a legislatorhold such a point of view? Ignoranceof the medical facts? Strong lobbyingfrom pro-abortionists? Lack of mailfrom pro-life constituents? A pro-abortion party platform? In an effortto find out what makes Rep. DanteFascell vote the way he does, wetalked to him during the Thanks-giving recess. A portion of theconversation follows:

Voice: Your recent votes on theHyde Amendment indicate that youfavor the use of tax money forabortions, in spite of considerableopposition. Why is that?

Fascell: It is much toorestrictive. I'd probably have lessdifficulty supporting a restrictiveamendment, for example, if it in-cluded rape, incest and substantialinjury to health or life.

Voice: How do you feel aboutthe Senate's current wording?

Fascell: I believe I could supportthat easier than I could support theHyde Language.

Voice: Many people feel that theU.S. Constitution should beamended to protect human life at allstages of development, from con-ception onward. What is yourposition on this?

Fascell: I've taken a veryconsistent position on it, that Ibelieve we shouldn't be amending theconstitution with respect to thatconcept.

Voice: Do you mean "conceptiononward"?

Fascell: Whatever the concept

is, which in effect strikes down theSupreme Court decision.

Voice: Any particular reasonwhy?

Fascell: I don't feel it should bein the constitution. And, whilethere's plenty of room for discussionon all sides of the issue, I just feelthat locking that down into theconstitution would set a precedentI'm not ready to support yet.

Voice: A lot of people felt that itwas in the constitution before theSupreme Court decision. They feltthat it really did protect all humanlife, and that the word "person"meant everybody—born and unborn.

Fascell: It raises a legalquestion—I'm not familiar with allthe legal ramifications. Both legally,medically and spiritually I supposethat one could argue it forever andreasonable people could seriouslydisagree on the interpretations—onall three counts.

Voice: If the Supreme Courtruling had not been made, do you

believe that the unborn child shouldhave any rights at all? What wouldthey be?

Fascell: I wouldn't begin tospecify on the legal rights of theunborn child, if any. From a medicalstandpoint, you have to rely on thebest medical judgment that yoursociety can provide at the time. Froma spiritual standpoint, it depends onwhat religion you believe. From anethical standpoint, it depends onwhat the mores of a society are.

Voice: Many doctors feel thatcurrent medical knowledge provesthe humanity of the unborn child(heartbeat, brain waves,chromosomes) in the first trimesterof pregnancy. This is reinforced bythe number of viable (able to survive)infants under three months. If thiswas demonstrated to yoursatisfaction, would you change yourposition?

Fascell: I don't know. I haven'tgone into that aspect of the change inviability with respect to the firsttrimester. I'm not prepared to make aflat statement. My mind is open onall of the medical facts, as well assome other matters. There's noquestion that there are changestaking place. I'm just not prepared togive you a flat commitment today onthose criteria.

Voice: What is the point, asclose as you can describe it, whereyou would start protection of humanlife?

Fascell: I'm not making a point,as such. If medical evidence changes,for example, you might want to havea different place to start. I'm notbeing dogmatic about where and

Miami

how. You cite medical evidence aboutviable fetuses in the first trimester. Iwould ask a lot of questions aboutthat. What is viability? Are youtalking about a normal human being?Are you talking about a fetus that isborn with no eyes and flippers? All ofthese things trouble me.

Voice: President Carter made acampaign promise to work forlegislation that would supportalternatives to abortion. Have youseen any bills on this subject, andwhat is your opinion of them?

Fascell: It seems to me I heardthe Secretary of Health, Educationand Welfare, Mr. Califano, make thatstatement too. I'm not personallyaware only because I don't have theresearch available right now as towhether there are any administrationproposals. It would take me sometime to find out. I've already in-dicated that there are alternativesthat ought to be made available.

(The fact that a lot of Democratsdon't agree with Fascell's stand onabortion was evident at the recentstate party convention in Orlando. Astrongly pro-abortion platformcaused a split among delegates.Fascell's former chief administrativeassistant, John Buckley, said "Youhave distorted this platform by thisissue to the point where it is ab-solutely a destructive plank for us."Raleigh Green, a candidate forgovernor, said he was "saddened thatthe human rights of our unbornchildren have been so callouslytrampled in the platform.")

Anuncio de Belen _que llega cada anoPor el Padre JUAN SOSASon dos las ciudades en Israel

en las que predomina lapoblacion cristiana: Belen yNazaret. El peregrino capta alinstante un constraste asombrosoentre ambas ciudades y la ciudadSanta de Jerusal&i. Este con-tra ste, sin embargo, no surge nide la configuracion de las calles,ni de la forma de hablar de sushabitantes, ni siquiera de laforma de actuar o de vestir.

El contraste parece nacer delos acontecimientos historicosque han hecho de Bel6n y Nazaretlugares especialisimos para elmundo cristiano. Si en Jerusalem

"iQu6 signifies para mi contemplaresta maravilla arc/uitectdnica si noparticipo dinamicamente delprofundo acontecimiento que dichaconstruccidn me sehala: Dios-con-nosotros?"

se palpa visiblemente lapresencia de muchas culturasreligiosas ( musulmana, judfa ycristiana), tanto en Belen comoen Nazarets, respira el aire que.acarici6 a Jesus en su vidaprivada.

Para el peregrino, como paralos habitantes de estas ciudadessagradas, la actividad diaria seconcentra alrededor de lasBasilicas construfdas en honor alos acontecimientos hist6ricosque ocurrieron hace 2,000 afios.

La Basilica de la Natividadmarca el lugar donde la tradici6nha senalado el nacimiento delSeftor Jesus, el nuevo Mesias, elSalvador. El pesebre yace ahorabajo una construcci6n formidableque impresiona al visitante. Ensus alrededores siguenpastoreando sus ovejas lospastores de la comarca como sianunciaran diariamente con eltrabajo del dia la llegada deAquel que Iogr6 transform ar lavisi6n del mundo.

El cristiano que camina porlas calles de Belen, que reza confervor en la gruta de laNatividad, y que comparte laalegria de la salvaci6n que surgi6

adviento, adviento, ad v ten to,

,..ir al desierto de nuestrocorazon para encontrarnosa nosotros mismos en elDios de nuestro silencio...

Basilica de la Anunciacidn donde Cristohizo came nuestra en Maria.

de aquellas praderas se puedepreguntar con seriedad: £Qu6significa para mf este lugarsagrado si acaso no cultivo yo enmi corazon la Palabra de Aquelque nacio de la Virgen Mariapara anunciarnos el amor?

iQue significa para micontemplar esta maravillaarquitectdnica si no participodin&micamente del acon-tecimiento tan profundo quedicha construcci6n me sefiala:' 'Dios-esta-con-nosotros'' ?

tAcaso no son estas tambienlas preguntas que todo cristianodebe formular y tratar deresponder en su vida? El anunciode Belen llega todos los aflos pararecordarnos la presencia delSefior Jesiis y nuestro com-promiso con su Iglesia. Quizessea nuestro coraz6n renovado lamejor basilica que pudieramospresentar al Hue'sped de Belenhoy y siempre.

Catalina de Hueck, la mistica rusa, habla amenudo y con gran insistencia de lanecesidad que todo cristiano tiene de en-contrarse con Dios en la "poustinia".

Poustinia, en ruso, quiere decir desierto. Ydesiertos, hay muchos en la vida - no todosellos de arena y sol.

Pero deseo confiarte un secreto que quizaste parezca extrafio: para ti y para mi, esteAdviento ha de ser una "poustinia", hemos deir al desierto para prepararle el camino aJesus.

Esa realidad del desierto siempre ha sidoimportante para el cristiano:

Israel sale de Eglpto y conoce a Dios en eldesierto de Sinai.

Jesfis marcha al desierto para estar con SuPadre antes de emprender su misi6n.

Juan el Bautista es la voz que Isafasescucha gritar en el desierto, preparando elcamino del Sefior.

Tu y yo tambien hemos de ir al desierto,pero, no te preocupes- no nos hacen falta niavion ni carro para Hegar a 61. El desierto quebuscaiaos no es una entidad geografica.Quizas sea por eso que el viaje es largo yarduo, porque buscamos una "poustinia delcotazdn."

No creo que esta corta meditaeion se prestea un largo estudio de Io que nos espera ennuestro "desierto del corazon". Hablemospues de una realidad que todo eristlano ha deaprender a vivir: la soledad.

Nuestro desierto requiere soledad. lEsrequisite impreseradible!

No creas que hablo de la soledad queconocemos al quedar abandonados o al estarfaltos de amor y amistad. En verdad, esasoledad es triste, y aterradwa, pero noestamos hablando de ella.

Eit nuestro Adviento nos hace falta otraclase de soledad, la que proviene de labusqueda que el hombre emprende en pos deSi mismo y de su Dios. Es mas bien unapartarnos del vivir diarlo para

POR EL P. PEDRO JOVE

haga ver la desnudez de nuestra finitudhumana —entonces, es mas ficil abrirnos aDios.

Los evangelios nos hablan de estasoledad en relaci6n a Jesus:

"De madrugada, cuando todavla estabamuy oscuro, Jesus se Ievant6, salidy fue a unlugar solitario donde se puso a orar..." (Me.1,35)

iQuien sabe lo que transcurri6 duranteaquellas horas? Marcos no lo dice, pero a lolargo de su evangelio nos lo da a enteder. Enei vemos a un Jesus que vive para cumplir lavoluntad de su Padre. Todo en Jesus escomuni6n con Aquel que le envi6.

Imposible que dos vidas estuviesen asi deentrelazadas sin un conocimiento profundopor ambas partes, y mas imposible aun serfaesto sin un amor que brot6 de la soledad.

Jesus se encuentra eon Su padre en aquellugar solitario donde fue a rezar. Jesus seencuentra a si mismo; encuentra la verdad yel por que de su mijsion.

El fruto de aquella "poustinia" no fue eldesespero. Jesus so se sinti6 abandonado niolvidado. Cierto, Jesus se ve solo, pero ello esIo que le permite ver al Padre sin obs-trucciones ni obstaculos.

Asi ha de ser uuestro Adviento.Busquemos la soledad de nuestro corazdn -nopara perdernos ni abstraernos del mundo,sino para encontrarnos a nosotros mismos enel Dios de nuestro silencio.

Al estar solos enfrentamos el silencio denuestras vidas. Poco a poco, quedan mudoslos ruidos del vivir diario: el hablar de lagente, el bullicio de la ciudad, hasta ellenguaje que nos hablan las ideas y recuerdosacaba por callar.

Cuando se aos cierren, por asi decirto, lasalas de la imaginacWn y no nos quedenpalabras - entonces quizas podamos escucharen el corazdn la voz de Aquel que nos llama.

Entonces empezaremos a saciar la sed'deDios, que nos espera como la unica flor quehallaremos ea la aridez del desierto quellamaiaos alma.

Discurso del Papa al Pontificio Consejo para las Laicos, al Comite para la Familiay al Pontificio Consejo "Cor Unum"

Queridos hermanos yqueridos hijps en Cristo:

Vosotros colaborais ennuestro ministerio apostblicocomo los demas miembros de laCuria. Vosotros sois conscientes,de lo que esta tarde implica. Nose trata de una funci6n honori-fic a. Lo que se pide de vosotros esun verdadero servicio.

La Santa Sede cuenta convosotros para que, atentos a losproblemas, a las necesidades y alos logros interesantes de lasIglesias locales de aquellosambientes y lugares a que per-teneceis o de los que podeis sertestigos.

Debeis estar dispuestostambien a acoger las ex-periencias y las reflexiones,diversas y complementarias, devuestros colegas, a fin de abriroscon ellos una visi6n misuniversal, que es la quecorresponde a la Santa Sede en laIglesia.

Al aceptar vuestro nom-

bramiento, os comprometeisigualmente a testimoniar unafidelidad total al pensmiento delMagisterio y a los objetivos de laSanta Sede.

Hoy mas que mine a la Iglesiase siente 11am ada a vivir sumisi6n o salvaci6n en el seno deun mundo atormentado, que seinterroga sobre su destino, sobresus fabulosos descubrimientos yrealizaciones, y tambien sobresus limites y fracasos al tratar deconseguir una sociedad estable,basada en la justicia, el amor y lafraternidad. Este mundo necesitaun alma: es responsabilidadnuestra el presentarle la luz delEvangelio, y contamos convosotros para que junto con Nos ycon todos los Pastores, latestimonies activamente.

AL CONSEJO DE LOS LAICOS:Queremos animarnos a -

promover la participacion dellaicado cristiano en la misi6nevangelizadora de la Iglesia. El

campo, a Dios gracias, es in-menso. Y la tarea considerable:evangelizar a las personas, lasculturas, "trabajar desde dentro,como la levadura, en la san-tificacidn del mundo". (Lumengentium, 31), impregnar el ordentemporal del espiritu evangelico,para la construeci6n de un mundomas digno de los hombres, hijosde Dios.

Por regla general, vosotrosteneis que acoger y apoyar condiscernimiento lo que los laicos ysus multiples asociaciones hanpuesto ya en practica, sobre todocuando su apostolado alcanzaenvergadura internacional. Ellosdeberan encontrar en vosotrosimpulso, estimulo para sureflexi6n, orientaci6n todaviamis evangeiica y eclesial para suactividad, y coordinaci6n conotros esfuerzos.

Pablo VI sobre Adviento:

La venida de Cristo noes fantasia es historiaAmadisimoshijose hijas: Ha

comenzado el Adviento, unperfodo de tiempo que, en laoraci6n oficial de la Iglesia, nosprepara a la Navidad, teniendoen cuenta la memoria de la vidatemporal de Cristo y de su obra,

es decir, la redenci6n, el misteriode Dios en la historia.

Si, la Iglesia en estos dias noshabla de Cristo, nos recuerda suvenida. No se trata de fantasias.Es una historia, un hecho con-creto, la entrada del Hijo de Dios

en el escenario del mundo, quenos recuerda nuestro deber deconocer la Historia Sagrada y laTradici6n como fuente hist6rico-divina de nuestra fe.

Son gstas una mirada altiempo pasado que ha proyectado

"...miren como el labrador aguardala valiosa cosecha de la tierra,esperando con paciencia a quereciba la lluvia temprana y la tardfa...refuercen el animo, que la venidadel Sehor esta cerca."

en los siglos la Palabra de Dios,manantial de riqueza paranuestra religibn. Para celebrarbien el Adviento hemos de tenersumo respeto de esta prudenteactitud: mirar hacia atr&s, a la"Historia Sagrada" a travel dela cual ha brotado la luz del

mundo.Hagamos todos el propbsito

de enriquecer nuestra formaci6nreligiosa, buscando la Verdadque salva en el estudio de laSagrada Escritura, a la luz delMagisterio de la Iglesia. Connuestra bendici6n apostdlica.
