Vol. XXXIII No. 21 Catholic Archdiocese of Miami Price 25$ Friday, October 31,1986 Religious peace summit Worldwide leaders join at Assisi
ASSISI, Italy (NC) — Religious leaders from the distant corners of the earth joined Pope John Paul II this week in a common call for peace, ex- pressed through a multitude of prayers. Sixty government leaders — includ- ing President Reagan — expressed support for the peace summit, the first event of its type in history. In the Italian hill town of Assisi, where St. Francis preached his peace message 800 years earlier, churches and civic halls overflowed with the sounds and sights of some 15 major religions. The day, which began with a welcoming talk by the pope, conclud- ed with a joint service and a common meal that broke several hours of fast- ing by the estimated 150 Christian and non-Christian representatives. In between, in a rich display of the world's faiths, were separate peace prayers by Christians, Moslems, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, African ariimists.

Parish resources are not sufficient to keep Catholic schools operating, the archbishop wrote. But by pooling resources, Catholic schools can continue, with financial stability and talented teachers paid a just salary. The archbishop's decision came more than two yeas after the archdiocesan Task Force for School Financing issued its preliminary report, calling for elimination of parish subsidies for tuition, a tuition assistance program and formation of school boards to operate parish schools. The proposals met with objections from parents, pastors and principals and a revised report made the recommendations optional with incentives to parishes which went along with the plan. The archbishop's plan brings a new identity to Catholic schools, which for the past 100 years have been run by individual parishes except for the clustering of city parochial schools and formation of three regional schools. Parishes will still run the schools — but through a corporate interparochial school board. All the parishes served by a school — whether or not they have a school currently — will be a part of it. Families will be charged the full cost of educating their children. Tuition assistance will be made available to families who otherwise couldn't afford Catholic schools.

PAGE 2 / Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, October 31,1986 On elections and bishops' meeting My beloved: I am in the clouds again flying home. I left Miami this morning for a quick trip to Bleauvelt, New York, where I presided at a ceremony where my cousin and twelve companions observed their Silver Jubilee of religious profession as Sisters of St. Dominic. It was a pleasant experience driving along the Hudson River and enjoy- ing the colorful autumn trees that reminded me of a huge oriental carpet. But, even more exhilarating, was the joy of the jubilarians and their families and friends celebrating twenty-five years of religious life. 'The secularism of our times and the total misunderstanding of the Vatican Council and its teaching on ecumenism, have caused some Catholics to become indifferent'
I reminded them of their unique contribution to modern day life. By their vows, they are confronting the deplorable attitudes that are so harm- ful to society. They are witnessing to a revolutionary love of God and neighbor. In answer to materialism, they boldly take the vow of poverty. In answer to self-indulgence, they take the vow of chastity. In answer to egoism, they take the vow of obedience. Nov. 4 elections In this rarefied atmosphere, my thoughts are turning to the coming elec- tions. I hope there is a great turnout of responsible voters. I hope the casinos will be defeated. I am concerned over the bad effect casinos would have on the morals and character of the community, on family life, on our economy, on our fight against crime. I hope, too, our people will reject the proposal to lower the real estate tax exemption. I fear that would hurt our poor. I hope the people of Dade County will express themselves as rejecting pornography. I have much reading material to occupy me while the passengers near me are dozing. I have been reading the hundreds of pages of agenda documents for the upcoming meeting in Washington, D.C., of the The PBS documentary airs Nov. 9 on the U.S. Bishops pastoral letter on the economy, which will be voted on by the bishops at American Catholic Bishops'(November 10-13). their annual meet the next day.

On Oct. 9-10, 1985, Archbishop TOSHOWFORIT Hunthausen was given the results of that visitation "in extensive consul- tation" at the Vatican Embassy, the chronology said. It said he was then given an oppor- tunity "to offer a response and seek clarification.,. It was his interpretation of the importance of these matters and the inadequacy of his response that were the [Holy See's] principal con- cerns." The chronology said Archbishop Hunthausen was given an auxiliary, Bishop Donard Wuerl, and asked to delegate full authority to him over cer- tain problem areas as a "compromise." Bishop Wuerl was given final authority over liturgy, the marriage tribunal, seminarians, clergy forma- tion, priests leaving the ministry or already laicized, moral issues in health care institutions, and ministry to homosexuals. The chronology said the Holy See did not require the archbishop "to make a public announcement that he had agreed to surrender any episcopal duties. This was never contemplated." In response to numerous complaints about a lack of information regarding the problem areas, the chronology presented a more detailed accounting of the issues than had been made public before. These, it said, included the following: • "The tribunal — the At Highland Park Hospital, we have the finest medical dedicated to providing the finest mental health misunderstanding and systematic mis- directors available anywhere, and we're proud of that. programs that do just that, keep you healthy. application of the so-called internal From left to right, we would like to introduce you to These highly acclaimed doctors as welf as the forum solution, and the lack of a plan them: Dr. Barry Miller, Clinical Director of the Adult first class doctors in the community are a major part to employ degreed personnel in the Program; Dr. Ed Georgia, Medical Director of the of our success.

All who PAGE 22 / Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, October 31,1986 Know Your Faith Readers share stories of faith Dear friends: Several months ago I invited you to write to me about your concrete experiences of God in everyday life and about what faith means to you. Hundreds of you did so from all over the United States. Responses came from small farms and big cities, nursing homes and kitchen tables. One person wrote sitting on a big rock in a national park, another from jail- Mail cam£from children as young as 10 and adults almost 90. Some wrote poems, others wrote a kind of spiritual autobiography. Although your circumstances vary, certain themes emerge from the stories of your relationship with God. Nature continually reveals the Creator's glory and -mystery in your letters. A child observes: "Yesterday saw a robin let a worm go; that's like God." A young park ranger feels closest to God when she's . backpacking alone in the wilderness. An Ohio reader writes: "Where I live in the city I observe 10 crabapple trees in their different seasons...they remind me of Christ." One woman glimpses God in "the marvelous complexity of the human body which never needs to be redesigned." The family is an almost universal theme in the letters, a place of contentment, but also of challenge and even deep sorrow. Families give rise to faith and hope. Some of you are parents of special Downes Syndrome children; their gentleness is your blessing. Others have buried children, and that form of crucifixion has rooted you still more firmly in the mystery of God. A teen spoke about a younger sister: "Megan's just a toddler, always so happy; she gives me hope." Husbands and wives cherish their small, everyday sharings, so much like rituals in the flow of a day. Widows and widowers are grateful for what has been; they move through their grief to a new kind of waiting. God's presence was felt by one woman who tapped into unexpected courage in deciding to leave an abusive spouse. Adult children write about forgiving alcoholic parents. No matter what the family's shape, readers find it a primary means for encountering God, day after day. Many of you identify work as a means of deepening the experience of God. beginning of a total life conversion, a cross road that led to concern for the poor, One young man finds his work environment stressful, but says he's actually . for example. You have sensitivity to society's social and structural sins. learned to enjoy it through prayer. Another reader views his labor with a contemplative eye. Many of you spoke of your parishes' importance. Clearly you are distressed "Sometimes while cleaning furnaces in dark and lonely cellars, God presents by what a reader calls un-thought-through homilies, or a tacit message that the himself to me in the intricate designs of the spider webs, the fire from the furnace pastor is not to be disturbed. or the friendly cat." But many others cite moments when a homily's words were exactly what was ••• needed. You speak of pastors who gave you self-esteem and courage to change. Almost all of you mentioned friendship as a sign of God. A reader writes: "I have a friend at work, a very down-to-earth sort of guy...he understands so many You value the post-Vatican II participation in parish life. A Milwaukee things I'm going through. I believe he's close to God." correspondent said: "The Church today is a real force in the world, not so much Young people, especially, understand God's presence in friendship.

The special friendship that characterizes Alcoholics Anonymous and Al Anon So many of you said that no one ever asked for your stories of God before. is a healing, sustaining force for others. We are glad we asked. Your commitment to ministry cannot be overlooked.
