Buechlein said the two-day papal visit to St. Louis was “a fantastic experience” and he especially liked seeing “the excitement of the youth” during the youth prayer rally Jan. 26 at the Kiel Center. “I was at the youth rally yesterday afternoon and evening,” Archbishop Buechlein said, “and it always moves me to see how the Holy Father and the youth interact.” Before the Holy Father’s arrival at the rally, the arch- bishop said, “the bishops even did ‘the wave’ with the kids. We’re good sports. But I must admit [after hearing several Christian bands perform], I wouldn’t want to go to too many rock concerts.” Archbishop Buechlein said he liked the pontiff’s homily to the youth. “He challenged them, but also showed our [the Church’s] great care and love for them. He spoke of their importance to us now, not just in the future.” During the eucharistic liturgy at the Trans World Dome, the archbishop said, “I liked the fact that he was so clear See MASS, page 26

ST. LOUIS (CNS)—In a solemn Evening Prayer ser- vice at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis Jan. 27, Pope John Paul II was joined by a rabbi and several leaders of other religious faiths. About 2,000 people filled the pews of the cathedral. Rabbi Robert Jacobs, vice president of the St. Louis Rabbinical Association, read a passage from This Ad Is Isaiah, delivering the first sentence in Hebrew. It was the first time a rabbi has proclaimed a reading at a Catholic service officiated by the pope. Camera Ready! Arizona Supreme Court upholds state tuition tax credit law Catholic Advertising Network/Seton Hall Univ. TUCSON, Ariz. (CNS)—In a ruling Jan. 26, the Arizona 6992 Supreme Court upheld a 1997 state tuition tax credit law. As a result, Arizona parents seeking a Catholic education for their children can earn tax credits for their donations to a 4x7 “tuition support organization.” The 3-2 ruling rejected argu- ments by opponents of tax credits, who claim that credits Paper effectively give public funds to private schools. Bob Heslinga, administrator of Tucson’s diocesan tuition support organization, told the diocesan paper, Catholic Vision, that he disagrees. “I am not anti public school. I am for choice,” he said. “In this diocese, we have bona fide schools that are fully credentialed. Why must parents be penalized for choosing one of those schools for their children?” Renewal of community life called key to resolving crisis
