Catholic Archdiocese of Miami Vol. XXXI No. 23 Friday, July 29, 1983 Price 25C Silver Jubilee Year Humanae Vitae gets 2nd look Called prophetic by ex-doubters

By Sister Mary Ann Walsh Papal documents sometimes appear to have been written to be read in hindsight. And of all 20th century Church documents, none seems to call for such a reading more than Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life), which this month celebrates its 15th anniversary. Our Sunday Visitor recently inter- viewed Catholic theologians who have reflected on the document for more than 15 years. Most see it as pro- phetic and point out that the sexual license and decreased standards of morality which Humanae Vitae predicted would come through use of artificial means of birth control have arrived with a florish. But dissent still exists. Some theologians still puzzle as to how a document which expressed a revolu- tionary theological understanding of marriage and world population pro- blems could simultaneously reaffirm the Church's traditional position of opposition to artificial means of birth control. They also question the fact that Braking bread—actually cake—together was part of a and layette set to Winnifred Tiger, of the Seminole Tribe Pope Paul VI appointed a commis- Mass and celebration at the Pastoral Center here last of Florida, Lisa Jimmie, sister of the newborn receiving sion to study contraception and then week.

The Sunday worship, apparently because of unruly behavior by an earlier group of Roman Catholic leader cited Vatican directives as excluding use of females as Western evangelists.

U.S. bases make sex industry Religious News Service OLONGAPO, Philippines (RNS)—Now the site of a large U.S. naval base, this former fishing village has become a fastmoving city of 220,000 people known for its pro- stitutes, bars, nightclubs, disco houses and massage parlors. Olongapo owes its population boom to the nearby U.S. Naval Base at Subic Bay, one of two huge military installa- tions the United States maintains in the Philippines. In 1945, Olongapo was a quiet village of 2,000 people. When an aircraft carrier is in port, some 5,000 to 10,000 sailors hit the streets here in search of "R and R" (rest and recreation) at some 300 enter- tainment spots where an estimated 15,000 prostitutes work.

Marian Center throws a party, handicapped display talents i

STORY AND PHOTOS BY PRENT BROWNING It was a swimming exhibition, an art show, a dance, and a picnic all wrap- ped up in one. But most of all it was a time for sharing and expressing gratitude. This was the occasion of a pool renovation blessing at the Marian Center, school for the retarded, recently attended by parents, students, faculty and one of the center's chief benefactors. As children gathered on the edge of the modern School's pool before a blessing by Fr.

Top right, doing the "hokoy pokey" was the learning occupation for many Mrs. Mastronardi donated funds that made it possible to install new pool Marian Center children after the pool blessing. tile, a new pool house roof and other renovations. THE MASTRONARDI'S interest in helping the mentally handicapped began years ago in New York when Mrs. Mastronardi's niece took her retard- ed son out for walks on the street and other mothers of retarded children ask- ed if they could join her. Eventually the involvement of the Mastronardis with the mentally handicap- ped resulted in the creation of the Charles A. Mastronardi Center for the men- tally handicapped in Brooklyn, which is now teaching 750 students. The couple became one of the major benefactors of the Marian Center since it's inception in 1963. Also honored at the pool blessing were Alberto and Ree Stoppa who con- tribute turkey dinners to the school every Christmas. After a swimming exhibition by the students and a picnic lunch, the students displayed some colorful plates they had painted. Then, with Sr. Lucia accompanying them on the organ, the children joined hands with their parents and danced. At the end of the affair Sr. Lucia Addressed parents and students on disciplining their children. One mother stood up and spoke about her child. "I look forward to being with him because he's so grown up. I thank the sisters, the teachers, and everyone who has helped him." Fr. Kubala, above, blesses the newly renovated pool. Below.
