In a telephone interview from Baltimore on Nov. 7, Bishop Donald Page 4 W. Wuerl said the bishops Issued an important reaffirmation of the Church's position on abortion. "T h e issue at stake is the lives of babies ... unborn children." he told the Pittsburgh Catholic. "W hat we have done as Church, as a unified voice across this country, is ask people to reflect on this. When everything else is put aside, we're talking about the lives of unborn p e o p le ." Both Bishop Wuerl and Aux. Bishop William Winter attended the general meeting in Baltimore. "Because of the critical importance of the issue, and the need for a tim ely response," the U.S. bishops said in their resolution on abortion, "w e wish to reaffirm our conviction that all human life is sacred whether born or unborn." "No Catholic can responsibly take a pro-choice’ stand when the ‘choice’ in question involves the taking of innocent human life," the resolution said. The bishops urged “ public officials, especially Catholics, to advance these goals in recognition of their moral responsibility to protect the weak and defenseless among us." More state and federal laws against abortion were also recommended. At their general meeting in Baltimore, the bishops also elected Ar­ chbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk of Cincinnati as president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and U.S. Catholic Conference on the Letter first ballot. William H.

He said he believes that the willingness to accept the Israeli state, ex­ pressed earlier this year by Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat, signals a new opportunity for peace. Patriarch Sabbah rejected claims that the PLO is a Moslem extremist group. “ There are many Christians in the Palestine Liberation Organization,” he said.

Earlier actuarial studies pointed to two alarming facts that would have a serious impact on the ability of congregations to care for their retired members: 1) Religious women were living con­ siderably longer than the average American woman; and 2) Congregations have had a serious decline in the number of active members. The collection which was taken last year was truly an overwhelm ing success. Across our nation, Mi $25.4 million was collected. In the Diocese of Pittsburgh the total amount collected was PASS 863a $863,394.46, representing the largest single collection ever taken in the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Of this amount. $ 100.000 was kept locally for the Retirement Fund for Religious which was established in our diocese several years ago. I am pleased to report that $549,225.97 was returned to religious congregations with motherhouses within the Diocese of Pittsburgh. As we prepare for this year's appeal. I call to your attention that the Collection for Retired Religious will be taken at all Masses celebrated for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Tim e, Nov. 19. It should be noted that once again this year $100,000 will be retained for our local Retirement Fund for Religious. The remainder of this year's collection, less the actual administrative costs of the appeal, will be forwarded to the national office where it will be distributed according to a carefully determ in­ ed formula. The Collection for Retired Religious is scheduled on the weekend immediately prior to Thanksgiv­ ing. In the spirit of that great holiday, our support of this appeal will be a sure sign of our gratitude for the faithful religious who have served the Church so well for so many years. As they turn to us now for assistance, let us be certain not to disappoint them. The success of last year's appeal is a clear indication of the affection the Catholic people have for those who serve In religious life. It is most encouraging to know that through your generosity many Religious throughout our nation will be assisted and that substantial assistance is being provided for the Religious who have served so faithfully within our own diocese. With prayerful best wishes, I am
