shortly after his ordination, he
left for the Philippines. There,
on the island of Mindanao, he
went to work, and soon such
places as Zamboanga and
Gingoog became as familar to
him as Donnybrook and
Dublin. He traveled over the
mountains sometimes by jeep,
sometimes on horseback and
even on foot to search out the
people of the barrios and bring
them God’s word and Christ’s
love. He expressed that love
not only by bringing them the
sacraments, but also by
helping them to build a better
life. Seeing their desperate
need for medical care, he
helped organize a traveling
clinic that now regularly visits

Always intensely interested
in every aspect of life in his
adopted land, Father Martin
carried his camera and tape
recorder with him everywhere.
He wrote many articles and
photo features about life in
the Philippine missions. They
ranged from his own personal
experiences to the wonders of
the coconut tree to the famous
legend of the Santo Nino
CHoly Child), who saved the
Christians of his island from
the Moslems.
Yes, “now” was always the
time for Father Martin to get
things done. Early one bright
sun-filled morning last
October, “now” was the time
for the flag-raising at the high
school he headed in his new
parish of Balabagan. He
rebuked a student for breaking
a school rule.
A few minutes later the boy
and his older brother returned
to the school plaza, carrying
guns. A shot whizzed over
Father Martin’s head.
Helplessly, he raised his hands.
But caught in the crossfire, he
fell, riddled with bullets.
There’s a loneliness and an
emptiness in Balabagan today

Says Women Better Off
In St. Paul’s Days
BY LYNNE MENEFEE
WASHINGTON (NC) - A
British woman historian said
that, despite St. Paul’s
some times maligned image as a
women - hater, women actu
ally had a wide role in thei
Church life of this day.
“Women were in a much
better position at the time of
St. Paul than they are today,
and the best years were from
about 550 until the beginning
of the Rennaissance,” said
Joan Morris, historian and
author who is currently on a
United States lecture tour.
Ms. Morris - she uses that
instead of Miss or Mrs.
“because that’s dsicrimina-
tion” - has just finished
writing “Hidden History,” a
, book on the changing
authority of women in church
and state from ancient times
to modem.
“Right through the,
centuries until the time of the
French Revolution, abbesses
of exempt religious orders
have held quasi-episcopal
jurisdiction over the clergy
and people in their‘separated’
territories,” Ms. Morris
pointed out.
She said abbesses issued
permission to say Mass,
examined confessors for
suitabliity and approved them,
paid their salaries, and
generally administered
“dioceses.”
their forgotten,” Ms. Morris said.
* Other women preached all
over Europe, like St.’
Hildegarde and St. Catherine
of Siena. Women convoked
councils and synods, and
sometimes were their chief
speakers - St. Margaret of
Scotland was canonized for
that. They distributed
Communion to the sick.
Abbesses have even heard
confessions under the rule of
silence, and might have
appointed other nuns to do so'
the historian added.
But beginning in the 13th
century, Ms. Morris said,there
was a European return to a
“pre-Christian lower
•estimation of women” based
on the belief that women were
deeply unclean, especially
during pregnancy and
menstruation.
She cited old Church laws
prohibiting women from being
baptized, taking Communion
or entering a church during
those times, for fear the
Church would be defiled. She
compared that with
contemporary bans against
women entering • the
sanctuary, handling
sacraments or reading from
the altar.
“It’s surprising how fast
and how completely the past
authority of women has been

“The growth of a more
scientific understanding of
biology has freed women from
the taboo that pestered them
for centuries,” she added. “We
may hope for a new legislation
in the Church which will take
account of these facts.”
Ms. Morris is a member of
the Company of St. Paul, a
secular institute with
headquarters in Rome. She did
research for five years,
traveling around the world, to
write “Hidden History.”

Communion
Statement
NEW YORK (NC) -
Nineteen Catholic and
Protestant theologians have
issued a consensus statement
on Holy Communion which
has, as one signer said,
“probably the broadest basis
yet seen.”
The signer, one of the
Catholic theologians in the
group, Father Carl Peter of the
Catholic University of
America, said that a consensus
among viewpoints as diverse as
those represented in the group
constituted “real ecumenical
progress.” Father Peter, a
theology professor at CU, is
also vice president of the
Catholic Theological Society
of America.
One of the 15 points of
consensus is that the “power
of the Spirit through the Word
makes Christ really present
through the Eucharist action
in His body and blood and
given to people as the
consecrated bread and wine
are distributed and received by
the faithful according to the
words of institution.”
That point represents
agreement between Catholics
who have stressed that Christ
is really present in the
Eucharist as a result of
“transubstantiation,” and
Protestants who have tended
to regard the sacrament as a
memorial rite in which Christ
is present symbolically rather
than actually.
In an introduction to the
statement, Dr. Harry J.
McSorley, a former Catholic
priest now teaching theology
at St. Michael’s College of the
University of Toronto, said
the document means “that
Christians should abandon the
polemical categories of the
past when speaking about the
Eucharist.”
The statement, which is the
result of two long meetings
here in January and April of
1970, was sponsored by the
Commission on Faith and
Order of the National Council
of Churches.
Among the signers were
members of the Catholic,
Russian Orthodox, United
Presbyterian, United
Methodist, American
Lutheran and Southern
Baptist churches, as well as
members of the Disciples of
Christ, the United Church of
Christ, the Society of Friends
(Quakers), the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod, and
the Church of the Brethren.
Father Peter said it
would be “to the great
advantage of the Christian
churches to have the
statement known to as many
members as possible.”
While the statement “is
significant in the areas of
agreement centered on,” he
said, it also “points to
unresolved problems, both
practical and theoretical.”
Among these, he said, was
intercomrimnion.
A Spokesman for the
National Conference of
Catholic Bishops’ committee
on ecumenical and
interreligious affairs said in
Washington:
“As has been made clear by
the participants, this is the
scholarly work of 19
individuals; it is not the
official statement of any
church or group of churches.
The value of the statement will
emerge as it is studied and
discussed more widely.”
