Catholic Archdiocese of Miami Vol. XXX No. 31 September 17, 1982 Price 25C 20-MINUTE MEETING -Arafat reaction • , Voice react, Page 14 From JVC News Service Pope John Paul II's meeting this week with Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat stirred bitter protests from Jews and criticism from some Catholics as well as a denun- ciation of Israel's "deliberate appeal to anti- bigotry" in its condemnation of the Vatican action. , The Vatican later said the Pope and Arafat met privately for 20 minutes before Wednesday's general audience but did not immediately offer any other details. ]n a diplomatic communique made public the day before, the Vatican emphasized that the pope's meeting with Arafat was meant "as a sign of the good will and concern of the supreme pontiff for the Palestinian people without any political significance." Informed church sources said the wording of the communique was designed to repudiate any inter- pretation of the meeting as an endorsement by the pope or the of the PLO's claim to be "the sole and legitimate representative" of the Palestinian people. That claim has been supported by the United Na- tions, but the Holy See has taken no official stance on it.

IN MIAMI, Father Edward LaCerra, chancellor of the Archdiocese, said "I can appreciate the con- cern of the Jewish leaders, yet, on the other hand, Mr. Arafat is a personage who simply is not going to go away. I don't know if you can pretend he does not exist. "I think that as a world leader the Holy Father has a right to meet with all parties," Father La Cerra continued. "I'm sure his intention is to bring to the highest resolve his desire for peace." Meanwhile, Catholic participants at a leadership conference in Washington sponsored by the Na- tional Interreligious Task Force on Soviet Jewry voiced their objection to the papal meeting. H In a telegram to Archbishop Pio Laghi, apostolic delegate in the , the group of Catholic clergymen, Religious arid laymen at the conference BLESSED ARE THE TOTS — While blessing the new center at St. , Archbishop said the pope's audience with Arafat "would McCarthy takes time to bless the children, as well.

World nears anarchy says U.N. secretary UNITED NATIONS (NC) — The world is "perilously near to a new interna- tional anarchy" and the current mechanisms of the United Nations may not be able to reverse the trend, according to Javier Perez d? Cuellar, U.N. secretary general. This was the theme of Perez de Cuellar's first annual report to the General Assembly, which is scheduled to open in late September. He released the report Sept. 7. It presented his conviction that U.N. peace-keeping and peace- making efforts must be refurbished. One of the ideas in the report echoes the thinking of the Soviet Union. The secretary general wants the Security Council to meet "at the highest possible level" to discuss some Of the problems currently plaguing the world. The Soviets launched this idea a year ago, but did not press it too hard. At that time me otner big powers in the Security Council, including the United States, opposed a U.N. summit.

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, September 17, 1982 / PAGE 5 Mariel ills exaggerated—bishop Only few were bad, most good, he says The problems caused by the influx of Mariel refugees into Dade County have been greatly exaggerated, while the smooth integration of most of them into the Spanish community is often overlooked, Auxiliary Bishop Agustin Roman said on the 2nd an- niversary of the giant boatlift this month. Drawing on statistics gathered by Dr. Juan Clark, a sociologist, and on his own observations as rector of the Shrine of Our Lady of Charity, Bishop Roman issued a reflection on the exodus two years ago this month. The bishop acknowledged that the ethnic percentages changed rapidly in Dade and Hispanics are now 38 per cent of the county population and will likely outnumber other ethnic groups by 1985. He stated that some Cubans retain THRONGS OF FAITHFUL packed Miami's Marine Stadium once again this year as Cubans celebrated Sept. 8, the feast a "confusion" related to a mixture of day of their patroness, Our Lady of Charity.

One of the songs advertised and sung was entitled "Yurnmy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got God In My Tummy" while a picture of the Last Supper was on the screen. This same network used the birthday of Jesus to promote the Playboy Playmates in their "George Burns Early Early Christmas Program." The real meaning of the bir- thday of our Lord was censored out and His birth- day was used to promote the hedonistic Playboy philosophy. Yet the networks say they don't know what we are upset about. When Lee Rich, producer of "Dallas," "Flam- ingo Road" and other programs, said that he had not been to church since he was 17 and did not know a single person who goes to church (he mixes and mingles with those who are responsible for what we see on television everyday and knows them on a first name basis), it answered a lot of i questions about why television ignores Christian characters or belittles Christian values.

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, September 17,1982 / PAGE 13 Matter of Opinion Pope and Arafat -wait and see

We suggestlthat world opinion makers cool down and temper their tongues before rushing to condemn Pope John Paul for meeting with Yasser Arafat. With a little less heat and more thought one might at least wait and see what results, if any, are forthcoming from the meeting. . For one thing, it should be pointed out that on the very day of the meeting, headlines around the world were proclaiming the EDITORIAL ~~ apparent fact that the man who had shot the Pope not only had been backed by Russia but was trained in terrorist tactics in a PLO camp, information of which the Pope has no doubt been aware of for some time. This is a pope who has dealt with the realities of Communist (not to mention Nazi) oppression all his life, a man who has told the Russians they would face him in:person if they invaded , and who was apparently shot down for it. He is hardly a babe in the woods. Meeting with a man who may well be partly responsible for an assassination attempt on the Pope's own life might just be a great act of personal sacrifice and courage, a repugnant necessity in the greater interest of somehow helping to resolve the Palestinian problem. Jesus, too, was criticized for walking among murderers and thieves, but He saw mixing in the real world as a necessary part of His role. The reaction of Jews and other concerned persons to any possible aggrandizement of the tormentor of Israel is under- standable, but we hope they will hold off judgment and assume worthy motives of the Pope. Christian-Jewish relations have come too far to become polarized over misunderstanding or dif- ference of opinion over this event. , 'Were hardly in shape to have guests' Years of bombs and angry words have not brought peace to the Mideast.

The result was sacred history, salvation Pathway history. The Israelites told of the hand of God, Spirit. the spirit of God, active in the most ordinary happenings. It is supremely important to keep this in mind when reading the historical books of the Bible.

MOSES was considered gifted by God with special qualities of leadership. He possessed the spirit of God in an extraordinary way. There is a good example of this in the story told in Chapter 11 of the Old Testament book titled Numbers.

Miami, Florida /THE VOICE / Friday, September 17, 1982 / PAGE 23 Teen's time, talent turn to treasure for parish

LAREDO, Texas (NC) — Seventeen-year-old Diana Rendon didn't take on any ordinary job for the summer. Hers required dance slippers, imagina- tion and a lot of patience. For the past two summers, the Laredo native from San Martin de Porres parish has taught dancing to over 100 girls from ages 2 to 17, many of whom had never danced a step in their lives. And if the Rendon's summer job seems a little out of the ordinary, her take-home pay was even'more unusual. She raised more than $5,000 over the past two summers, but did not keep a penny. All proceeds from her June-to-August dance classes and the recital at the end of the summer were donated to her parish. It all started one Sunday when Father Morgan Rowsome, pastor of the parish, was calling on parishioners to "give something in service to the church.

"FATHER ROWSOME said some people can't give money, but they can give time and talent," said Rendon. "So I asked him if I could put on a dance workshop to give my time and talent." Father Rowsome agreed. And Rendon, a high school senior, had her Diana Rendon, 17, shows off work cut out for her when over 100 girls in leotards showed up in the some of the more than 100 parish hall for the first practice. talented girls, aged 2 to 17, from "I thought I'd be lucky to get 20 girls, so when 100 were there waiting the dance classes she has for me I was shocked," said Rendon, who has taken dance lessons since taught during the past two sum- mers.
