P e 4 - SOUTHERN CROSS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1973 time to keep by Michael Newman

Editorial-------

Next witness, please The recent document from Rome on infallibility came a month ahead of the feast established through exercise of papal infallibility - the Assumption - a little more than 20 years ago. Next Wednesday ceremonies throughout the Universal Church will mark the dogmatic belief that the "body and soul" of Our Lord's Mother found their resting place "in heaven." For many, this is the only use of the doctrine of infallibility they can remember - a doc- trine declared at the First Vatican Council a century ago. Vatican I, reacting to the times, produced the edict of the pope's infallibility under specific conditions. Vatican II refined the doctrine to apply to the whole People of God, expressed normally through the bishops in unity with the Pope. Whether it was necessary to restate the doctrine in terms of the recent statement "against cer- tain errors of the present day" may be a matter of debate. What is more important, though, is that every Catholic has a direct share and responsibility in the true and infallible witness of the faith. Un testimonio mas El reciente documento de Roma sobre la in- falibilidad, lleg6 un mes antes de la fiesta e tablecida por el ejercicio de csa prerro- gativa del Papa - la Asuncion - hace poco mas de 20 anos. El pr6ximo Miercoles las ceremonias ccle- braran en la Iglesia Universal la definici6n dogmatica de quc "cl cuerpo y el alma" de la Madre de! Senor hallaron su lugar de gloria en "el cielo." Para muchos estc es cl (mico caso de! empleo de la doctrina . obre la infalibilidad, que cllos pucdcn recordar - una doctrina 1n·o mul ada n I onc1lio Vati ano Pri.m o , hace un s iglo. El Vaticano I, reacc ionando ante los tiempos, produjo el edicto acerca de la infalibilidad de! Papa bajo condiciones especificas. El Vaticano II perfeccion6 la doctrina para aplicarla a todo el pueblo de Dios, que se expresa normalmente por medio de los obis- pos en unidad con el Papa. Si era necesario recalcar esta doctrina en los terminos de la rcciente declaraci6n "contra ciertos errores de los tiempos pre entes" podria ser materia de debate. Lo mas importante, sin embargo, es que todo Cat61ico tiene una directa participaci6n y responsabilidad en el verdadero e infalible testimonio de la fe.

Really, }'atlwr! In a recent column, Father Andrew Greeley, the priest who writes more than should be possible for any one man , spoke of bigotry. That's a good subject for his biting wit. But does he really have to say: "I hope a group of Catholic intellectuals will . . . raise bloody hell about this kind of bigotry." Is such language really necessary? I would object to it in my home, and I object to it in Catholic newspapers. CathoHc journalist superior His name had a ringing sound and his words were some of the finest in Catholic journalism. Michael de la Bcdoycre, former editor of the British Catholic Herald was a leader in bolh his profession and his faith . When he died recently, aged 73, he left behind a legacy of literature and comment probably un- matched among F.:ngli h speaking Catholic lay journalist . He transformed the small introspective Irish nationalist journal known as the Catholic Herald into a widely read and intellectually respected national Catholic newspaper, providing Britain with aggressive and yet reasonable liberal thought even before Vatican II De la Bedoyere - of Breton ancestry - was edu cated by Jesuits at Stonyhurst and withdrew from seminary studie ju t before ordination, in the 1920 . Iii 17 books include biographies of George Washington, Lafayette and several saints. including St Francis of Assi i and St. Catherine of Siena.

And as for night opening and Sunday supplies, these seem to be a thing of the past. I'm reasonably happy about the Sunday closing - after all, it is Sunday - but the night closing leaves you stranded if you have mechanical trouble. 'o huttle rihhons One of the "growing pains" of the charismatic renewal, r understand, has been the tendency for some adherents to consider themselves "something special" over the spiritual g,1 ts Father Ron Mendonca. Notre Dame High School principal, one of the movement's leaders in this diocese, told the seminar sessions for beginners at the conference last weekend : "All gifts - from diaper changing to tongues - are given to people as part of the Body of Christ. Spiritual gifts are not battle rib- bons or rewards of esoteric games. They are tools to be used in the service of the Body of Christ. "

"For this is what I recei\'ed from the Lord, and in turn passed on to you: that on the same night that he was betrayed. the Lord Jesus took some bread and thanked God for ii and broke it. and he said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this as a memorial of me' " (I Corinthians 11 :23). One can get tied into a system, any systems helpful for growth and development, and by means or that system cause a lot of suffering by the impersonal way the process is applied. Systems are here to stay: but then. so is suffering. and through the in- dignation worked up O\'er the memorv of accumulated suffering. systems ca~ be changed. Suffering can unite men and pro1·ide them with a pcrspecth-e diffl'ring from the successful and the established . Suffering tells me that there is something wrong. Secondly, that if I am willing to go into suffering and face up to it I might be able to change what is wrong. It calls me to responsibility

and holds the door open to freedom In this sense the memory or suffering is dangerous and sub\'ersive. The Church is not in the world to drop God's name, as though my use of God's name caused a magic arbitration. but the Church is present, rather, to kt>ep alive the memory of our crucified Lord . and , thus. the mc>mor_y of a demanding and dangerous freedom amidst the s_ystems. "l\T_y brothers, you will always ha,·l' your trials, but when they come, try to treat them as a happy privilege; you understand that your faith is only put to the trst lo make you patirnt but patience too is to have its practical results so that vou ,1 ill br fullv del'eloped. complete. with nothin~ missing"

I know that it is generally the function of their well-informed Christian conscience to see that the divine law is inscribed in the life of the earthly city. From priests they may look for spiritual light and nourishment.

the spirit' And the Charismatic Renewal movement's Bishop Joseph McKinney said: "We have problems because we pussyfoot abouwin." In between working sessions they gathered in small prayer groups, spontaneously, easily. They were quietly cheerful. At the end they left behind a spotless sports field. During the two conference days 68 priests attended seminars by Bishop McKinney, and at the final Mass there were more than 40 con- celebrants with Bishop Maher and Archbishop Joseph T. Ryan from Alaska . "The spirit of Jesus is among us" declared the 45 foot banner suspended 25 feet above the altar on the field-turned "cathedral." And the thousands answered: "Praise the , Lord!"
