Life Lobby asks halt to mass burial WASHINGTON (NC) — The American Life Lobby, a pro-life organization, has asked the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to stop a proposed mass burial of more than 16,000 human fetuses found stored near Los Angeles. "We want to make sure that no federal rules were broken," said Judie Brown, president of the American Life Lobby, Oct. 4. In Los Angeles, Superior Court Judge Leon Thompson scheduled an Oct. 18 hearing on a request by Los Angeles County District Attorney John Van De Kamp to permit the burial. Van De Kamp sought burial for all but 193 of 16,390 fetuses that had been stored by Melvin Weisberg, who once operated a pathology lab. The 193 were more fully grown fetuses that may be evidence of illegal abortions, said a spokesman for the district attorney.

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, October 15, 1982 / PAGE 13 Playboy shows its true colors No doubt many Catholics, like other Americans, read (and ogle) Playboy magazine with the attitude that it is a slick quality publication spiced up harmlessly with a few girlie pictures. We have in hand a copy of an article to be in the November issue which clearly exposes the true nature of this magazine as anti-Christian, and crude and debased, beneath its exterior sheen. The article referred to is entitled "The Second Coming" and mocks the Holy Family and the birth of Christ. It is subtitled, "Do you know the story of Mary and Joseph and the angel? You haven't heard this version." Indeed not. The so-called story, written in a very flip, sarcastic eighth grade prose, begins this way: "I'm stupid and my wife is

None."» Therefore, they invite in a "smart" male friend to have sex with the wife so they can have a smart child who will grow up to make lots of money and support them. While the sex is taking place, the husband goes to the park where he meets an "angel" who is a "sexy young woman" who flippantly informs him that he is the new Joseph and his wife is the new Mary and their child-to-be-is going to make them billionaires and also be the Messiah. The angel then has sex with him which "you'll remember till your dying day." He then goes back home and the story pointlessly ends. Seldom have words been written that are all at once so stupid, so obscene, so offensive and so depraved in value. The story's opening paragraph, quoted above, demeans both IT'S GOING BACK IN THE TUBE' marriage and life and states that an unitelligent child's value is As such, Playboy's rank materialism and depiction of persons as "none."

KNOW YOUR FAITH

By David Gibson NC News Service

Amid a jumble of social messages about what life's sexual dimension means, it would be easy to miss an essential message.

One social message indicates that life's sexual dimension is something to sing about. For song after song tells of the passions that draw people together or drive them apart.

Another message often is found in advertising: It subtly, or not so subtly, suggests that people happily in touch with their sexuality drive nice cars or drink special kinds of liquor or spend all their leisure time in glamorous kinds of places (ski lodges, ocean beaches).

Again, you can easily get the message in so- ciety that sexuality is funny. For it becomes the basis of endless jokes and double entendres. Sexuality is a vital ingredient in the makeup of human beings. This powerful force motivates people to seek Sometimes the message implied here could be out companionship with the opposite sex, to marry and create a lifetime relationship. The physical experience that sexuality is not to be taken seriously. of sexuality within marriage allows couples to develop a deep intimacy which nourishes their marriage, (NC photo) Then there is the message that sexuality, in and of itself, is off-color and not to be men- tioned.

Jive as though another person really does matter in an essential way or as though another person doesn't really matter all that much. Of course, few people are perfect in this.
