ALSO CHANGES ANNULMENT PROCEDURES Code expands laity role • People to learn.. .P4 By Father Kenneth J. Doyle 10 Years after VATICAN CITY (NC) — In a 10-minute ceremony Jan. 25 Pope John Paul II signed a decree promul- gating the church's new Code of Canon Law, expanding the role of lay men and women and changing mar- riage annulment procedures. A Vatican official said the revised code would take effect Nov. 27 and one of its key aims is to expand the role of the laity especially in areas where there is a severe shortage of priests. The date of the signing, Jan. 25, marked the 24th anniversary of the announcement by Pope John XXIII that an updated version of the church's laws would be drafted and that he would convene the Second Vatican Council. The new code, replacing the pres- ent one issued in 1917, governs the administrative life of the church and codifies the reforms of church law and practice developed during the Second Vatican Council, held from 1962-65.

At a press conference on Jan. 25 prior to the signing ceremony, Arch- bishop Castillo Lara said the new code greatly expands the role of the laity. As an example, he noted that in areas where there is a severe shortage of priests, the new code allows for parishes to be administered by lay men and lay women. Lay people so designated could not celebrate Mass nor hear confessions but could be permitted to be regular ministers of baptism, witness marriages, preside at funeral services and direct prepa- More than 150 pro-lifers marched in the rain along SR 441 last Saturday to raise funds for South ration for the reception of the sacra- BrOWard'S Respect Life Office.

PAGE 8 / Miami, Florida / THE VOICE /Friday, January 28 1983 Billboards 'dare'to priesthood TORONTO (NC) — A 13-week outdoor advertising campaign daring young men to choose the priesthood has been launched by the Toronto Archdiocese. The campaign is using 35 outdoor nosters and three large billboards ich show a crucified Christ against a backdrop of the city's skyscrapers and bear the slogan, "Dare To Be a Priest Like Me."

THE ARCHDIOCESE has set up a special telephone line for inquiries and the number is shown on the out- door boards. Father Sean O'Sullivan, director of vocations for the archiocese, said the message on the signs is a modern ver- sion of Mark 8:34: "Anyone who wishes to be a follower of mine, must leave self behind, take up his cross and come follow me." Father O'Sullivan'said, "The bill- board campaign will serve to heighten awareness of the church in the arch- diocese and act as a reminder of the ongoing need for priests." At present, there is one priest for every 3,000 Catholics in the Toronto A figure of the crucified Christ imposed on Toronto's skyscrapers appears on billboards posted at 35 intersections archdiocese and church officials fear throughout Toronto, Canada.

St. Mark's School in Boynton Beach celebrated it's silver anniversary recently with a 'It''' special Mass and reception that got everyone in- volved — from kindergarten through eighth grade. But the guest of honor, and hdmilist for the Mass, was a 1967 graduate of the school — i! Father Robert Ghristman, now of Sacred Heart Parish in Homestead. In recalling his school days, Father Christman said that he remembered St. Mark's best for its devotion to the Eucharist. "It had a special im- S portance to us, particularly in the daily Mass. But the Eucharist is so much more than a memory from our"childhood: It forms us, it makes us who we are. Oilr love for it is a heritage to be handed down." He asked the kids to look ahead 25 years in the future. "You need a vision of peace," he said. "Build a desire to break down barriers. The most important things in life can't be seen — bonds of family, gifts of devotion. What is your vision?" . "Adults are great on criticism," Father Christman reminded them, "but not so hot on praise. You need to teach us praise. We need that from you."

Affidavits filed in the case of the Women's Care Center in Miami where four women have died from botched abortions depict a disgusting scenario of monetary greed and human callousness toward women who get anything but the "care" proclaimed in the center's title. • The affidavits from former "patients" tell horror stories of abor- tionists hustling large numbers of women through their assembly line mill dressed in bloody cassocks, bloody hands without surgical gloves, more closely resembling butchers than doctors. One woman said she saw another woman brought out on a stretcher and tossed onto a sofa where she fell to the floor and was left there. The stories go on and on, and there are things to be learned from this case. . Certain groups, because of their zeal for political "rights," have EDITORIAL succeeded in preventing enforcement of medical standards in abortion clinics, claiming that abortion is just another routine surgical procedure. But the Women's Care mill perfectly illustrates the fact that abortion is not just another minor procedure like wart removal. Abortion involves life and death (of the unborn baby and in some cases the mother); it involves human reproduction, the creation of human life or the decision to kill the human life that has been created; it involves one's sexual and emotional life. What other single surgical procedure has produced tens of thousands of clinics all over the country devoted exclusively to that one procedure? Doesn't this suggest something about abortion different from other medical procedures? What other surgical procedure involves the body removal of living tissue which (unlike a gall bladder or appendix) is a holocausts, or the live-born aborted baby breathing and squirming complete living entity in itself with its own set of organs and the for hours until dead, even on clean hospital tables; the doctors who biological aspiration to its own independent existence?

Miami, Florida / THE VOfCE /Friday, January 28, 1983 /PAGE 21 The Spirit of ancient By Father Alfred McBride, 'O.Praem. NC News Service The first Christians are best re- membered for their charity and their courage. A second-century church father, Tertullian, wrote: "See how these Christians love one another." He re- ferred not only to the affection and forgiveness among Christians, but also to their monetary generosity to those in need. Tertullian writes about how Chris- tians voluntarily financed their charities. "Every man once a month brings some modest coin ... No one is compelled to contribute."

THE FUNDS were spent "riot on banquets and parties, but to feed the poor and bury them, for boys and girls who lack property and parents, for slaves in their old age, for shipwrecked sailors. The money also goes to people in the mines, on penal islands or in prison. Christians finance their charitable beliefs." Within a century after the first Easter the Christians began to build a miniature welfare state within the Roman Empire that for the most part lacked social services. Early Christian martyrs await death in the Roman arena. They were noted not only for their courage in the face of great In the fourth century, the Em- persecution but for their charity as well.

In many ways, the prophet Isaiah was the op- posite of Amos: of a • Amos was of humble birth and station. Isaiah was a nobleman. • Amos' companions were the sheep he tend- ed and the tradesmen whose camel trains passed along the roads bordering his fields.
