WORLD NEWS BRIEFS VENEZUELA

Rebel presence increases in Congo: The United Nations warned Wednesday of what it called a "dangerous and troubling" intensification of fighting and buildup of forces in rebel-held east Congo. The warn­ ing comes even as Congo's government and rebels move into the scheduled last days of South African-sponsored power­ sharing talks. South Africa alters AIDS drug policy: In a major shift in policy, the government announced Wednesday that sexual assault victims would be given access to AIDS drugs. The government had long argued that the drugs' safety remained unproven, and ignored pleas that they be provided to rape victims.

If not, they have the option of remaining sexually active bachelors. For men and women who choose the nonconformist vow of celiba­ cy, an alternative path to fulfillment is embraced. Their motives are generally questioned by skeptics, who view such people as sexually repressed and abnormal. In a society obsessed with sex, the aver­ age person wonders how anyone could make a vow to abstain from what many deem a necessity. Sex, so says the norm, is the requisite accompaniment to any romantic relationship. Anyone who chooses to abstain until marriage is considered a prude. Those who choose to abstain for life are thought to be down­ right aberrant. These are unfortunate stereotypes. They stem from a fundamental misconception of the significance of chastity and celibacy. Although all are called to be chaste, whether single or married, only some are called to the vow of celibacy, which is the commit­ ment to remain unmarried. True, people exist who make the vow of celibacy for the wrong reasons. But the vast majority do so for the right reasons. And, contrary to popular misconceptions, the celibate are joyful, deeply fulfilled individuals. For the celibate, the issue is not merely about giving up a sexual need. Celibacy is accompanied by a vow of poverty; thus, the issue is centrally one of giving up possession of all earthly things - including possession of another person. Why? In order to under­ stand this, one must first understand the role of God in one's life. Some think of God as an abstract principle floating in the sky, utterly irrelevant to us on any level, or a vengeful judge ready to strike us with holy lightning. However, if you believe that God is Love itself, that He knows you intimately and desires only good for you, then one can more readily understand the willingness to trust oneself wholly to Him. Celibacy is a gift. It is a calling for some, just as marriage is a calling for others. Both vocations experience their own sacrifices, their own duties, their own blessings. God can be profoundly expe­ rienced through both paths. Lack of response reflects However, despite the joys of married life, loneliness is not erased through finding a spouse. No human is capable of fulfilling all the deepest yearnings of our hearts. Earthly relationships, as satisfying as they are, can also involve misunderstanding and heartache. Certainly there have been times in our lives when we have been dis­ respect of privacy appointed by our relationships and disappointed in ourselves. To 1 what, or to whom, do we turn then?

This Week in Campus nistrv Further Reflections on the Church Scandals .. Coleman-Morse Center • 631-7800 Signs of Hope • by Fr. Richard V. Warner, C.S.C. Eucharistic Adoration Counselor to the President & Director, Campus Ministry 11 :30 a.m. - 4:45 p.m. Just before the ordination to the priesthood of four young Holy Cross priests on Saturday of Basilica of the Sacred Heart Easter Week in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, and in the midst of the unprecedented and negative publicity against the Catholic Church, several hundred priests and several bishops, I tried to ac­ 807 Mass knowledge that the actions of priests who violated their vows by sexually abusing minors was sinful 8:00 p.m. and a betrayal of a sacred trust, and the actions of the Church authorities who covered up these Hammes Student Lounge abuses, through transfers or other means, were simply wrong and completely unjustified. Coleman-Morse Center Now, on the eve of Pope John Paul Il's all but unprecedented summoning of the U.S.cardinals Senior Retreat #7 and the president and vice president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, to gather April 19-20 in Rome for a two day meeting to begin next Tuesday, I would like to share further reflections on this Sacred Heart Parish Center crisis with you. Many of the cases of sexual abuse of minors which appear daily in the secular press, occurred from NDE Retreat #71 20 to 70 years ago. This time frame predates your birth at the very least, and your grandparents' April 19-21 birth at the extreme! Yet the stories appear in the newspapers, especially The Boston Globe, where the Fatima Retreat Center crisis began three months ago, and The New York Times, on a daily basis. Sometimes the coverage includes a full page or more; sometimes slightly less. The current crisis is, in part, media-driven. Indeed, one can legitimately claim that the Catholic Church in the United States (not the "American Catholic Church") is as weak and vulnerable as it has We know what an incredible been perhaps for scores of years.
