News at a Glance Salvadoran bishops call for peace talks SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (NC) — The Salvadoran bishops, saying that they share the suffering of Salvadorans victimized by violence in the country's civil war, called on all sides to open talks leading to peace. In a letter dated July 17 the bishops said, "We exhort all parties involved in the conflict to abandon their obstinate stands and open a dialogue with sincerity, clarity, loyalty . . . and to put the unity of the entire Salvadoran community above the interests of in- dividuals or groups." A spokesman for the Revolutionary Democratic Front, the political arm of the revolutionary guerilla forces, said the front was ready to answer the call of the bishops and open dialogue leading to a negotiated settle- ment. As of Aug. 2, the government had not commented on the bishops' letter. U.S.C.C. director says pope calls for economic reforms WASHINGTON (NC) — Ronald Kreitemeyer, director of the U.S. Catholic Conference's Office of Domestic Social Development, in his 1982 Labor Day Statement, says that the teaching of Pope John Paul II calls for "fundamental reforms in our (U.S.) economy." The 3,000-word statement focuses on the "pro- found challenge" of the pope's encyclical, "On Human Work."

Church needs help in Latin America Dear Friends in Christ: The Catholic Faith was established in Florida over 400 years ago by Spanish Missionaries, therefore the Church in Florida has a special rela- tionship with the Church in Latin America. Our early Catholic heritage was established by Spanish Missionaries who also brought the faith to Latin America. The first priests in Florida were four Spanish Diocesan priests who came to St. Augustine in 1565. We share a common faith with our Catholic Brothers and Sisters in Latin America. We also share a responsibility to support the Church, particularly in Central and South America. One third of the world's Catholics live there, but many of them are uninstructed in the basic teachings of our faith because of the lack of priests and other religious.

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, August 13, 1982 / PAGE 13 Matter of Babies are people, not livestock Is it really any surprise? Last year when the creation of the Repository for Germinal Choice was announced, we predicted something like this would happen. It was inevitable. The Repository, you will recall, is a sperm bank, storing sperm donated only from Nobel Prize Winners, the idea, supposedly being to enable willing mothers to breed future Nobel tots. The concept at first glance may not seem to be such a bad one, the breeding of high achievers. The problem with this so-called "positive eugenics" is the mentality behind it, in addition to the morality of third party artificial insemination. The mentality that would breed human beings to obtain certain desired traits, intelligence, physical prowess, racial purity and such is all too obviously akin to the Nazi superman attitude that would at- tempt to breed "superior" human babies. EDITORIAL That is why we don't find it surprising that the first Nobel sperm bank baby was recently born to parents who, it was discovered, had lost custody of their two natural children because of their obsession with producing brainy children. John and Joyce Kowalski of Phoenix had tried to beat and humiliate their previous two children into being smart — which is, of course, really dumb. They had sent the daughter to school once with "dummy" written on her forehead and her brother went to school in his pajamas with a sign, "bed wetter." They frequently whipped the kids over homework mistakes. This is the tender loving couple into whose care little Victoria was recently born. The sperm bank people, in their eagerness to launch the new super-race, didn't care enough about the human welfare of the baby-to-be to even check out the parents' back- ground. And the fact that Nobel laureates would donate sperm to such a project raises the question as to how superior such persons should really be presumed to be. But, you say, maybe the Kowalskis have changed. Fat chance. "We'll start training Victoria on a computer when she's three. I see her working out complex mathematical equations quicker than a computer," said Mrs. Kowalski, who, incidentally, along with her husband also has served time for mail fraud and false loan filing. This baby is not a human child to these parents, she is a store- bought purchase to fulfill two adults' perverted sense of superiority. And that is the problem with all such thinking.

Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, Aogost 13,19S2 / PAGE 21 UNITY How does ecumenism affect you? By Neil A. Parent NC News Service Approximately 40 percent of all Catholics who marry in the United States select non-Catholic mates; and the percentage is even higher in areas where the Catholic population is small. Interesting? Yes, for it shows just how much ecumenism — the promotion of Christian unity — relates to people's daily lives.

PEOPLE WHO SHARE homes or who work together, who go to school together or who are next-door neighbors, may be united in many profound concerns. But they often still ex- perience some pain and frustration over religious issues that divide them. That is one reason why you might say the ecumenical movement is so important. It clearly affects so many of our personal relationships. Just how seriously is the ecumenical move- ment taken today? Many of us went inside Buckingham Palace recently via television and newspapers. There Pope John Paul II was visiting Queen Elizabeth II, in her capacity as head of the Church of England. Later, we saw the pope and the archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, kneeling side by side in the Anglican cathedrai at Canterbury. They prayed for the future unity of Anglicans and Roman Catholics. And renewing their bap- tismal promises together, they called attention to the fact that, although divided, there is much about Christian faith that they share.

THE POPE'S BRITISH visit received con- siderable attention. It marked the first time a pope had set foot on British soil. But it also was a highly significant ecumenical event. The gulf of separation and dissension that had existed for more than 400 years between the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church, was being narrowed. Pope John Paul II has demonstrated a strong personal commitment to work for Christian uni- ty. • In 1979, he traveled to Istanbul to meet Patriarch Dimitrios I, spiritual head,of the Eastern Orthodox churches. Ties between the two communities were severed in the year 1054. • In 1980, the Pope visited Germany, where Martin Luther in 1517 nailed his 95 theses to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. In Ger- many, the pope had the opportunity to meet with Lutheran leaders. ••'• His visit to England recalled the break in the During his recent trip to England, Pope John Paul II worships with Anglican Archbishop Robert Runcie 16th century with the Church of England follow- of Canterbury, right, and Metropolitan Anthony Bloom, head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Great ing Henry VIH's divorce from Catherine of Britain, in Canterbury Cathedral in London, (NC photo from UPI) Aragon.

GREENWOOD LAKE, N.Y. (NO — Hot dogs, picnics and amusement parks are some of the reasons children from Northern Ireland enjoy their visit to the United States sponsored by Project Children. Freedom from fear is another reason. Soldiers, fighting and fear play a big part in the lives of the children from Northern Ireland, where fighting between Catholics and Pro- testants has gone on for centuries. But Project Children, run by Denis Mulcahy of Holy Rosary Parish in Greenwood Lake, brought 301 children from both the Catholic and Protestant sections of Northern Ireland for a six-week summer vaca- tion from the tension. "To them, the soldier in the street is their life. They know no other life," said Dolores McVeigh, whose Eleven-year-olds Pat Donnelly, left, and Michelle Campbell, both good friends in Belfast, Northern Ireland, share a husband, Pat, is the Long Island, laugh at a picnic thrown by Project Children at the Salesian Seminary in Goshen, N.Y.
