Traveling to Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Trinidad Jan. 26-Feb. 5, the pope warned religious to adhere to church teachings and told lay persons to unite to solve their problems. He defended workers' rights and Indian rights and beatified two women religious. He also repeatedly called for a deepening of the understanding and practice of the faith so that Christians could ef- fectively influence society and solve some of its key problems.

He is demanding seven bottles of methadone (a heroin substitute) to take with him on his out-of-town honeymoon. State regulations stipu- late that he is allowed only six at one time. He refuses to accept the ruling. As he leaves, he is white-faced and shaking and completely at the mercy of his own rage.

"I have a dream that some day on the red hills of Georgia former slaves and former slave owners' children can sit down together at the table of brotherhood." Carlos Malcolm and Alice John- son had a dream: to musically keep alive the story and message of peaceful cooperation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Not only did they want to keep his name alive among those who are old enough to remember the great .civil rights leader but also among a new generation of children and teenagers who were born after his death. Recently, in commemoration of King's birthday the dream was real- ized at several successful perfor- mances of "Keepers of the Dream," a musical based on Dr. King's life that was written by the two devout black Catholics. Hundreds of school children, fill- ing the Joseph E. Caleb Auditorium in Liberty City, clapped and gleeful- ly laughed at the rollicking gospel lyrics introducing the musical. They watched attentively as an ac- tor playing the civil rights leader's father explained in a song with strong African rhythms to several children no older than themselves, the family's African heritage. The musical is the latest collaboration between writer and Christ the King parishioner Johnson and musician and former Christ the King parishioner Malcolm. Malcolm, who had once been an orchestra leader and recording artist (he wrote part of the score for the classic James Bond movie "Dr. No") met Johnson, a former teacher and author of several novels, at a symposium in the late 70's in Miami on the subject of Alex Haley's book "Roots."

A black lady in Montgomery, Alabama, explains the narrator, refused to give up her bus seat to a white man, and upon her arrest Dr. King led the black community in a non-violent protest. "A year later the laws were changed. Black people were allowed to sit anywhere on the bus. From that day forward, Dr. King became the leader of an awakened people."

Many of us are concerned and not always certain about what is the best course to follow there: More arms? Less arms? Dialogue? Support contras in one country and the government in another? Certain incidents not only point up the difficulty of that area but also only make matters worse. For instance: A priest, Father Dennis O'Mara, was recently thrown out of Chile for criticizing the right-wing government which has been documented as using torture widely. Instead of being applauded when he passed through the Miami airport he was cursed and called a communist by some Hispanics gathered there. This is more than just an isolated incident as it represents a mentality of many Americans that if you support social change or land reform (as does the Pope) you must be a communist.

Voice editorial

Valiant men who have been tortured and served the best years of their lives in Castro's jails have been villified and called communists after their release simply for suggesting dialogue as a way of improving the situation in Cuba and at- taining human rights for others still in jail. Indeed, there are those who have their freedom here who would deny freedom of speech to others here who have paid dearly for it. Then there is the White House Digest we received the other day which quotes Catholic bishops of Central America about that area. The quotes all appear to support arms shipments or other Reagan policies in Central America. However, Archbishop Rivera Damas of San Salvador has writ- ten a letter of protest about his quotes being taken out of context. "It is absolutely clear that we oppose both the war and the^provision of arms from whatever source and that our principal position is that we favor the dialogue as the solution to our problems." Rivera Damas, ironically, has been called a communist by some of those type of people mentioned in the airport incident. Thomas Quigley, the U.S. Catholic Conference Latin Affairs THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE advisor, said the document is "dishonest and one sided." The situation in Central America is difficult enough without Nicaragua and other Latin nations. the government bending the truth to gain the citizens' support If we, as a people, do not uphold truth and the right of and local zealots blocking even the consideration of possible everyone to be heard fairly, then how can we expect to solve alternative solutions to the various situations in Cuba, problems with guns or hatred anywhere in the world?
