"I believe that if they manageto resolve the religious questionin an original way, with principles of liberty, they could givean example, distinguishing themselves from the other Marxistcountries in which free adhesionto the church is not protected,"said Cardinal Konig.
"The church, if free, can bevery useful to a great countrylike China since Catholics especially cultivate the cultural,social and familial values, contributing to the constructiveunity of the people," he added.
The cardinal described in detail his meeting with a Chineseofficial identified only as Mr.Xiao, chairman of the- government's Religious Affairs Committee.
"He told me that the govern-, ment supports with all its means
the patriotic church because -itfollows a policy of complete independence from every foreignpower and from every colonialism," Cardinal Konig said.

ROME (NC) - China must resolve the problem of "two Catholic churches" in an "originalway" that can serve as a modelfor other Marxist nations, according to Cardinal Franz Konigof Vienna, Austria.
Cardinal Konig, president of--the Vatican's Secretariat forNon-Believers, discussed hisMarch visit to China in an interview with the Italian newsagency ANSA.
He said Chinese Catholics aredivided into two camps: the National Association of PatrioticCatholics, which rejects ties tothe Vatican, and "a great number of priests, sisters and laityin work ca~ps and other situations who remain faithful to thepope."

A THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thur. May 29, 1980..3 _
The DrinanAHair
It will ~e some time before the dust settles on the socalled Drinan affair. To be sure, the' decision to requestFather Drinan to cease seeking political office, and hisoWn decision to respond to this request in a spirit of trustful obedience were difficult and demanding.
Unlike some others in the recent history of the church,Father Drinan views his priesthood as the true center of hispersonal life. Because of this commitment, he witnessed to,everyone that he is indeed a churchman before a congressman.
There will be some to say that he did nothing morethan what he vowed himself to as a young Jesuit. Oftenthose holding such a view have accomplished little ornothing with their own talents or have never possessedsuch talents to begin with as they mumble through life.But Father Drinan is a man of great talent, ability andenergy. He has used these attributes well in his drive forsocial justice, in his attempts to bring a sense of personalhonesty to politics and in his efforts to help the least of hisbrothers and sisters regardless of race, religion or ethnicorigin.
Yet he is not removed from controversy and indeedconflict. For many people his term of office was indeed asign of contradiction. It is more than understandable whypeople, especially members of his own church, found incomprehensible the fact of a priest defending a pro-abortionvoting record.
This behavior of Father Drinan occasioned concern,sorrow and even agitation for many both within and without the Catholic church. His personal attempts to justifyhis voting record only threw more coals on the smoldering.fires and drove a deeper rift between reality and reason.
However, Father Drinan was not a single issue congressman. Given the very nature of his constituency, hecould not be. Representing in many situations a modernliberal suburban mentality, he was for the majority of hisdistrict's voters, of the right bent for their personal persuasions. In this regard, it was often felt that Father Drinanbent too far in his attempts to please those of a rather crassand materialistic frame of reference.
Yet it must be clearly stated that it was not for thesereasons that he was requested not to seek another term inoffice. In the request for his retirement from public life, itwas clearly indicated that Catholic priests are not generallyallowed to seek public office and that his permission to doso had been by way of an exception.
The present Holy Father has reinforced this po~ition inmany ways from the outset of his pontificate. He has rightly indicated that the church must encourage the laity toassume their rightful place in the political sphere. As aneducator and dean of a prestigious law school, Father Drin-·an must surely agree with our Holy Father that educatedmembers of the Catholic laity indeed have a potential forlasting political reform as elected officials.
The controversy surrounding this particular situationin the life of the American church will surely make interesting reading in future historical reflections. Yet in thehere and now one ,must truly state that Father Drinan didby his words and action show that obedience is still an integral part of the priestly life. For this reminder allmembers of the church should be grateful.

Of course, that is not to blamethe paper. If no news comes,none can be printed. Maybesome day the message will getacross....
Even though you have notheard from me in the past, Iknow that being away from"home" I still have an easy wayof contact with my ImmaculateConception parish since April21, 1897.

Mass attendanceDear Father Moore:
I was confused about the article in The Anchor (May 1) in regard to the "Electronic Gospel"by Thomas McDonnell.
Listening to some of thoseprograms has brought manyfolks closer to God.
Having a Catholic Mass onTV is wonderful for those whoare unable to attend due to illness. Those who are able to goto Mass should realize that it'stheir obligation to go to church.But to say that the Mass doesnot have the same value as anyother Mass, it is contradictingour Morning Offering in whichwe unite our intention to Massesbeing celebrated at that moment.
We have the daily Mass fromBoston which I enjoy and find itvery enlightening, for with nodistraction I can listen to theword of God. Many of my friendsdo the same. They too are upsetabout The Anchor article. -
As one said, "Sitting in myliving room with my husband,who is an invalid, seeing theHoly Sacrifice of the Mass andhearing the gospel has donewonders for both of us. PraiseGod!"
I think that such opinionsmake other denominations lookon us Catholics as being arrogant, which is a sin.
I love our Catholic religion,but also enjoy listening to BillyGraham, Oral Roberts, etc. Theytoo are praying to the sameLord, Jesus our Savior.

(Mr. McDonnell was simplypointing out that watching atelevised' Mass does not fulfillthe Sunday or holy day obligation for the viewer. This obligation, of course, does not existfor those legitimately impededfrom physical presence at theEucharistic liturgy. In itself, atelevised Mass has the same infinite value as any other. Editor)

AgreesDear Editor:
Regarding Mr. Acton's letterin our May 8 issue, his indignation is solidly placed. The impact of Matt. 18, 1-7; Mark 9,36-37; Luke 9, 46-48 is lost uponmany. Life is the most ponderable gift of God. A millstonehangs heavy.
Gestating people, like allother people, are the supreme,sovereign political power of theUnited States Government, aswas plainly and irrefutably demonstrated in the constitutionalproceedings of 1787. This secularaspect ought to be pursued vigorously to its limit by all patriotic people.

that can be done to give usor our survivors a measure
of the peace of mind that

"Questions can then beanswered in a relaxed at

He said that the scope offuneral home services, location of gravesites, regulations affecting monumentsand overall funeral andcemetery costs are among

Directors citebenefits ofpre-planning
Greater Fall River funeraldirectors agree that pre-plannedfuneral arrangements offer manyadvantages to both the personmaking the plans and his or hersurvivors.
But most say that, human nature being what it is, they arenot overwhelmed by requestsfor their services in this regard.
An exception is Lucien J. Dionof August Hebert and Son Funeral Home, who says that histime is fairly evenly divided be-tween conducting funerals and Father Blais noted thatmaking pre-need arrangements. Catholic undertakers and

POTOMAC, Md. (NC) - Sister Margaret Crowley, major superior of the Sisters of Mercy ofHartford, Conn., was electedpresident of the Federation ofthe Sisters of Mercy of the Americas at a recent meeting inHolyoke, Mass., the federationannounced.
The federation is an organization of 18 independent congregations and nine provinces ofthe Sisters of Mercy. It includesmembers of the province ofProvidence, who serve many institutions in the Fall River diocese.
but also as bound in a specialmanner to the community'sleader, the bishop.
In what is termed the patristic age, when the Word washanded on .in the writings ofchurch leaders, this unique relationship between bishop anddeacon surfaces in great detail.During five centuries of churchlife, various writings remind ustime and time again that diaconal service was offered to thechurch fundamentally throughthe bishop and through him alsoto the presbyters or priests.
In a recent paper on this subject, Father John Farrell, S.T.D.,professor of patristic studies atSt. John's Seminary, Brighton,offered this reflection found inthe Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus who has he stated, "observes and attests the clarity ofthe distinction within ecclesialoffice, between sacramentalministry fulfilled by bishops andpresbyteers and diaconal ministry discharged by deacons. Onlythe bishops lay hands on a deacon. He is ordained, not for thepriesthood but for the service ofthe bishop, to carry out hisorders,"
These considerations are notput forward to give the idea thatdeacons are the lackeys of thebishop, but rather to indicatethat they have a relationship tohim distinct from that of thepriest.
-Permanent Deacons
WASHINGTON (NC) -Madalyn Murray O'Hair's son, WilliamMurray, 33, whose initial complaint about being forced to prayin public school led to the landmark Supreme Court decisionbanning the practice, now sayshe is sorry for what he did andwants to undo the damage.
Murray spoke briefly at a newsconference at the Capitol calledto publicize efforts in Congressto remove the jurisdiction of theFederal courts from schoolprayer cases.
"I admit being beguiled andmisled," said Murray about hisfamed atheist mother and hisdecision as a Baltimore teenagerto stay home rather than participate in public school prayers.
"Now that I've seen the damage, I can only urge others tohelp me correct that damage,"added Murray, now 33, who firstpublicized his newfound regreta couple of weeks earlier in aletter to a Baltimore newspaper.
Murray said his conversionwas the result of several monthsof introspection about the concept of God and the realizationthat his rejection of God hadturned his life into chaos.
Murray's years after the Supreme Court decision weremarked by a teen-age marriagethat ended in divorce, troublesin the Army, failure to latch onto a steady job, and finally a decision in 1975 to rejoin his mother at her atheist center in Austin,Texas.
He said that what followedwas two years of "pure hell."

Permanent Diaconate
Atheist's son regrets acts
In this diocese, from the veryfirst drafting of the permanentdiaconate training program, itwas loudly and clearly statedthat restoration of the order ofdeacon also involved restorationof the unique and vital relationship that must exist between
'bishop and deacon.
Let it be honestly proclaimedthat the chief support of thisrestoration of the diaconate inthe church in this diocese is tobe found in the person of thebishop.
This is not a mere gilding ofthe proverbial lily but a trustingand supportive reality. From theoutset a sincere effort was madenot only to define clearly theorder of deacon as a uniqueentity in the hierarchy of ordersbut also to restore the historicrelationship that existed betweenbishop and deacon from theearliest days of the church.
From its first institution, thediaconate has been closely connected with the bishop, the presider of the local church. Intext after text of the New Testament, including references inII Corinthians, I Timothy, IPeter, Romans and Colossians,the deacon is seen not only as aservant to the entire community

For children IIBy J{lDaaD Manternach
The Passover meal was over.Jesus and his friends walked outof Jerusalem to the Mount ofOlives.
Jesus' spirits were heavy. Heknew that his enemies wereclosing in on him. He was afraidand troubled.
As they approached an olivegarden called Gethsemani, Jesustold his friends: "Stay here, whileI go over there and pray." Wondering what was wrong, theysat under the olive trees.
Jesus asked Peter, James, andJohn to go farther with him. Hewanted the presence and supportof his friends. "My heart is nearly broken with sorrow," he confided . to them" "Stay awakewith me."
The three sat against an oldolive tree. Jesus walked a fewyards farther, fell to the groundand groaned. "My Father," hepleaded, "if it is still possible,don't let it happen. Still, I wantto do whatever you want."
He lay on the cold ground fora long time. His spirit felt asblack as the night. He trembledwith fear at the thought ofwhat might happeD to him.
Then he arose and stumbledback to his three closest friends.They were asleep.

'Everyone admired the beautiful infant but littleBruce spent almost all his time ·sleeping.'
By Roger I.. Sandon
The trend towards moving thementally handicapped out of institutions seems noble and just,on the surface. .
It means a movement awayfrom "warehousing" - out ofsight, out of mind. It meansmaking an effort to tap the talents of all members of society,helping those who cannot helpthemselves find their niche inlife.
For one family out West, however, the proverbial pendulumhas swung a bit too far.
Two children in the familyare severely retarded, requiringconstant attention for fulfillment of their most basic needs.
The parents bore the burdenwell. But when they realizedtheir other children were suffering because of it, they faced adifficult choice: an institution.
The retarded· children entereda protected environment, awayfrom situations in which theirfailure was inevitable. Awayfrom those who, not knowinghow to relate, avoided them.Most of all, away from the painfull rejection by those too insensitive to understand.
Family Hfe regained normalcy.With faith, the family memberswere able to avoid guilt feelings.They knew their institutionalized children were receiving thecare they could no longer pro-vide. .
'But when their state waged acampaign to remove the mentallyhandicapped from institutions,the problems began again. Social workers insisted the parentsremove their children, nowgrown, from the institution andtake them home.
"They couldn't or wouldn'tunderstand that the institutionwas their home - the placewhere their needs could be fulfilled. We weren't ready to bringthem back to the rejection," themother said.
The children remain in the institution. Their parents had tofight to keep them there; and
II Choosing an institution
cross, he experiences the stillmore crushing sense of abandonment (Matthew 27:46), eventhen, as Luke tells us, his finalword is one Qf quiet trust:"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46).
When Jesus returned to hissleeping disciples, he warnedthem: "Be on guard, and praythat you may not undergo thetest" (Matthew 26:41). The testis one we all face, sometimesoften: to walk confidently in thedark of sorrow or pain or bewilderment, and to go on trusting in a loving, faithful Father.
This test can take manyforms: serious illness or protracted pain, the death of aloved one, the need to institutionalize a loved child.
In this "Garden of Olives" thesupport of family, friends, fellowparishioners is needed. It is sadwhen, like the disciples, theyleave us alone. But the darknessis never complete and we arenever really all alone.
After reassuring us that Jesussympathizes with our weaknessbecause he has shared it, theauthor of Hebrews says: "So letus confidently approach thethrone of grace to receive mercyand favor and to find help intime of need" (Hebrews 4:16).

Reluctantly, they placed Brucein the institution. Even thoughit was ·only a half-hour drivefrom home, they felt lost andlonely.
Still, each time they visitedBruce, they felt they had madethe· right decision. Mary treasured the moments she held herson in her arms. He cuddled upto her and she knew that he felther love. Bruce lived for threeyears.
During his life, his parentsoften felt lonely, as though theyhad been forgotten by others intheir community. But there werethose who stood by them, whoreally cared. Today, ~hen Derrick and Mary hear of a situa-

help those who are tempted"(2:18). "For we do not have ahigh priest who is unable tosympathize with our weakness,but one who was tempted inevery way that we are, yetnever sinned" (4:15).
Tempted throughout his life(Luke 22:28), he was about toundergo the supreme test. Hisvery posture suggests the intensity of his emotions: "He advanced a little and fell prostratein prayer" (Matthew 26:39).
When it is recalled that standing was the usual posture forprayer - not even kneeling the full impact is grasped of hisfalling to his face on the groundto make this prayer. His wordswere agonized, yet trustful.
Jesus so often urged people toturn toward God as a loving,trustworthy Father. Now, evenin this blackest hour, he spokewith the childlike words: "MyFather," and acknowledged thathis request might be impossibleto grant: "If it is possible, letthis cup pass me by. Still, letit be as you would have it, notas I" (Matthew 26:39).
His trust in the Father's wisdom and love remains unbroken,even if he cannot understandfully, even if he is prostrate withsorrow and fear. When, on the
and her husband Derrick werecompletely closed to the idea.They concentrated on providingstimulation for Bruce. Almosteverything they read stated thata child develops best in a lovinghome.
Bruce seemed to be comingalong better until he was threemonths old. Then he had hisfirst seizure. They became moreand more frequent until littleBruce sometimes had two orthree in one day.
During one seizure, he wasclose to death. Mary was exhausted and Derrick almostnever got an entire night's sleep.

Jesus speaks to his three disciples as he is about to beginwhat is known as the Agony inthe Garden: "My heart is nearly broken with sorrow. Remainhere and stay awake with me"(Matthew 26:38).
Sharing our humanity, Jesuswas about to experience in anespecially keen way some of itsmost painful emotions: Loneli.ness, heartbreak, revulsion atthe thought of impending suffering and death, struggle to carryout what clearly seemed God'swill for him.
From the beginning, Christiantradition has held that the humanity of Jesus should be accepted with all its implications.Still, considering situations likethe Agony in the Garden, thereis a temptation to qualify: "Ohyes, but he was God." Of course,that is true.
But the humanity and divinityof Jesus are not to be confused.When we talk about the historical Jesus of Nazareth, we aretalking about an authentic human being.

Mary Scanlon was so happywhen the nurse put her beautifulnewborn son in her arms., Thepain of an exceedingly difficultlabor seemed far away.
In a few days, the little famone admired the beautiful infant but little Bruce spent almost all his time sleeping. Hehardly ever cried and seemed tohave no interest in kicking.
At first, Mary attributed hisinactivity to exhaustion from adifficult birth. But he becamemore and more lethargic. Whenhe was two weeks old, she madean emergency appointment witha pediatrician, who advised having Bruce admitted to the hospital for a more thorough examination.

Then he went back a secondtime to his friends. Again theywere asleep. Jesus felt very muchalone. He did not wake them up,but went back to pray again, thesame prayer, asking God to lethim escape the terrible sufferingshe feared. But he placed his lifein his Father's hands.
Jesus felt more at peace now,but he was still anxious and depressed. He could feel dangerin the darkness of the olivegarden. His friends slept sound-,ly. Only his Father would bewith him.
