The priests "are more in love with the political ministry than with the priestly ministry," he said. Bishop Vega, head of the prelature of Juigalpa, Nicaragua, spoke in an interview published in the Feb. 2 issue of the Italian Catholic magazine, 30 Days. He did not say what sanctions would be applied. The bishop, who became conference president in 1983, referred to an agreement in 1981 between four office-holding priests and the Nicaraguan Bishops Conference after the bishops had warned the priests that they faced church sanctions if they did not leave their posts.

PAGE 12 / Miami, Florida /THE VOICE / Friday, February 10,1984 In praise of schools Students honor God with motion

By Prentice Browning Voice Staff Writer It was a special Mass in celebration of Catholic School's Week in which the faculty of Little Flower school in Coral Gables rededicated themselves to their profession of teaching. As usual in such celebrations there was a choir composed of school children led by a music director after the homily. But that is where what is usual end- ed, for school children participated not just in the choir but in the liturgy itself performing a graceful sacred dance introducing the offertory. The dance, accompanied by recorded liturgical music, was chor- eographed by Mary Gene Salazar, the director of the St. Theresa School of Ballet, who believes passionately that sacred dance can be a beautiful expression of the love for God. AT LITTLE FLOWER last week over a dozen children dressed in white tunics presented the host to pastor Msgr. John Glorie and formed several lines on the altar. All members of the ballet school, the children each formed a circle with their hands, fingertips touching, that expressed the "radiation of the Maria Rives (above left) cups her hands in a gesture ex- spirit." pressing the projecting of the Spirit within us. Right, a They then made a rocking motion girl's hands are raised in praised before the crucifix. with their arms as their hands moved Below, Norma Cueto assumes a pose symbolic of a sur- upward and they turned slowly in rendering tO God. (Voice photos by Prentice Browning) unison. As their hands were extended over their heads they pressed them together and bowed their heads in a symbolic offering of their r understanding to God. Toward the end of the cycle of movements the dancers bowed their heads and then palms upward throw- ing their heads back in surrender to the Lord. The dance performed at the altar was possible because of the support of Msgr. Glorie who believes that sacred dance when it is performed properly is a beautiful expression of prayer and a "source of inspiration." "It is also a way to get the children more active in the liturgy itself," he said, so they don't see the altar area "as something foreboding." ALTHOUGH MOST people seem to respond positively to sacred dance there are some who believe strongly that it is too distracting to be part of the Mass. "The choreography of the dance has to reflect meaning, the liturgical essence, so at no time will the gestures of the dancers be a distraction," says Salazar. She emphasizes that the dancers are filled with humility and at no time is the dance a "performance." "It's a new dimension of prayer" she says, "using God's given talent to praise him, because he gave us a beautiful body."

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, February 10,1984 / PAGE 13 Mideast stifling Christianity

It is ironic that in the part of the world that gave birth to Chris- tianity the Faith is slowly being eradicated. The attempt at a coalition government that might maintain a balance of the various religious and ethnic groups in Lebanon ap- pears to be rapidly crumbling. Strident Syria moves ever closer to annexing or taking control of a large part of Lebanon which has traditionally been the major bulwark of Christianity m the Middle East. Christians there are under mounting pressure to flee, and it is highly questionable whether Christianity will long remain a major force in Lebanon. ."' As Maronite Archbishop Francis Zayek puts it, "The apostolic churches are drowning in an ocean of Islam and disbelief." While Islam does contain in its teachings the possibilities of compassion and tolerance, most of today's Mideast leaders are playing on the most aggressive interpretations of religion and siezing on past sins to further the course of hostility and retribu- tion there. He points out that in Egypt the Copts, for the first time in history, are now emigrating out because of discrimination, their patriarch under confinement. In Saudi Arabia there is no sign of Christianity in society though there are over one million Christians there. No sign of Easter or Christmas celebration is permitted. (Yet Moslems are EDITORIAL able to express freely their faith in most of the Western Christian world.) In Syria, Christians are emigrating to Lebanon but now must go on to other nations. In Iran, members of the Latin Rite are considered foreigners, and it is believed that other Christian groups will be coming under increasing pressures. Iraq, which is at war with Iran, is currently helping Christian communities, but this too is believed to be temporary. Christians are reasonably safe in Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, but the Patriarch of Jerusalem has said that one- fourth of his population has left because of discrimination or a feeling of isolation. President Quaddafi of Libya has told the Christians of Lebanon to choose between the sea and the coffin—depart or die. The Moslem Convention at Lehore in 1980 decreed that Christianity must be eradicated from the Middle East by the-end of this century, according to Archbishop Zayek. WHO'S BEHIND BARS? While we can take comfort in Jesus' promise to Peter that the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, we must not overlook the implication that the church must, therefore, come up And all this is occurring, ironically, in the part of the world against those fiery gates. where the Church first flourished. In our own part of the world where we worry—or ought to Our prayers are needed as is our tangible support for agencies worry—about materialism eroding Christian values, we forget that and organizations attempting to bring peace and compromise to even in modern times, there are still Christians in many countries the Middle East.
