Many of the families are on
Welfare, and the only way
these mothers can break out
of the cycle of poverty they
are trapped in is to get a job
that would give them enough
income to maintain their
family.
There was no facility for
caring for their children and
so the Society opened a
Day-Care Center in April of
this year. This center is
licensed to care for 40
children ages 6 months to 6
years. It is open five days a
week from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
and has a professional staff
trained in child-care work.

The center serves the dual
purpose of releasing parents
for employment and giving
the children an opportunity
for a pre-school education
that will give them a head
start when they get into
elementary school. The
Society must pay 25 per cent
of the $48,000 cost and the
federal and state government
the remaining 75 per cent.
There is much more that
can be done to improve the
lives of the people of this
community. Metropolitan
Atlanta Boys Club has a club
in this area, but there is no
organized activity for girls.
There is a great need for a
program that will give
guidance and leadership to
the girls of this community.
Additional space has been
offered by Atlanta Housing
Authority that could be used
for a meeting place.
Additional programs could be
offered that would help
adults, such as cooking and
sewing classes, and advice on
family budgeting. A reading
room could be set aside to
offer library services to the
community.
“All of the services offered
to the people of the
Bedford-Pine community are
the result of the generosity of
the parishioners in
Methopoiitan Atlanta,”
stated Joe Flanagan,
Executive Secretary of St.
Vincent de Paul. “To
continue to serve and to offer
more help to these people
many of whom live below the
poverty level, we are asking
that our benefactors be even
more generous.” The goal for
this year’s drive is $29,020. A
homily will be given in all the
churches of Metro Atlanta on
Sunday, Sept. 26, and the
collection will be taken up on
Sunday, Oct. 3.

Churchmen Blast Voodoo Act
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
(NC) — A wave of protests
over a telecast of voodoo
worship has caused Brazil’s
TV networks to adopt an
ethics code.
TV-TUPI here featured on
a recent Sunday a
“macumba” (voodoo) rite led
by a voodoo priestess named
Caclida. In a startling display
marked by frenzied gyrations,

Witch-Doctors Okay
In Hospital, He Says
PORT MORESBY,
Papua-New Guinea (NC) —
Witch-doctors in white coats
practicing their sorcery in
Christian hospitals?
It’s not out of the question
in New Guinea, according to
a surgeon, Father Frank
Flynn. He thinks that
hospital officials ought to
allow witch-doctors to
exercise-within limits-their
sorcery on native patients.
“If the patient has
pneumonia or is very sick, the
witch doctor should not be
permitted to take him down
to the river and dump him in
as part of the technique,” the
priest said in a radio
interview.
“But to allow him to come
into the ward and do
whatever he wants to do,
without upsetting the patient
from our standards-this is
quite in order.”
A priest of the Missionary
Servants of the Sacred Heart,
Father Flynn is director of
the National Health Office
for the Catholic Missions of
Papua-New Guinea and the
British Solomons, and a
board member of the
Combined Churches’ Medical
Council of Papua-New
Guinea.
He was interviewed about
the medical council’s recent
annual conference which,
among other things, explored
the topic of sorcery.
Permitting witchcraft in
Christian hospitals would
help link the native customs
to the Christian faith, the
priest said.
He noted, however, that
such practice should be
allowed only at the hospital
officials’ discretion.
The priest said the purpose
of the medical council’s
discussions was “to try to
gain a little depth of our
understanding of exactly
what we refer to when we
speak of ‘sorcery.’
“There are some forms of
what we call sorcery that are
really outright murder,” said
the priest, referring to
witch-doctors’ use of sharp
thorns, other pointed objects
and lethal drugs which result
in the death of their patients.
He said a medical council
panel that reviewed the
sorcery issue felt some forms
of witchcraft should be
allowed in the hospitals, but
under close supervision by
hospital officials.
Father Flynn said that,
under some circumstances, he
sees no incompatibility
between sorcery and the
Christian faith.
“No matter what one’s
speciality may be,” the
surgeon and priest said,
“sorcery is a subject which
can easily stimulate an
interest.
“I myself, although
opthalmic surgery is my
specialty, intend to devote
some considerable time
during the next 12 months to
focusing greater attention on
this problem of sorcery.
“I think we can gain a lot
by discussing it with medical
students who have a chance
to fuse both (Christian and
native custom) streams of
thought. That could be very
helpful, I think, in guiding
our thoughts, too, along this
line.”

she claimed her “spirit” could
perform miraculous cures.
Cardinal Eugenio Sales of
Rio de Janeiro said the show
was “a ridiculous attempt to
offer substitutes for the true
God.” He added that such
cults “are far beyond any
sensible claim to religious
freedom.”
Speaking for the Brazilian
Bishops Conference, secretary
general Bishop Ivo
Lorscheider said “this
misrepresentation of religious
emotion” abused the public’s
interests.
Letters to newspaper
editors and congressmen
prompted vigorous
government action. Tax
investigators said they would
look into Cacilda’s business
operations and state censors
suspended all live television
shows unless scripts are
previously approved.
A macumba priest in Rio
said: “Cacilda is pretending
to be possessed by certain
gods in order to improve her
business.”
TV-TUPI and another
television network, Globo,
had said earlier that they
would subscribe to an ethics
code proposed by the
industry, which in fact bans
presentations of sexual
perverts and physically
deformed persons, and shows
promoting superstition or
exploiting extreme poverty
and human tragedy.
Cardinal Sales,
commenting on the voodoo
priestess’ performance, cited
a growing “hunger for God
among the people.” “It is a
tragedy to see the starving
person reach out for poisoned
food,” he said.
The Rio de Janeiro
cardinal said that the voodoo
show “was to the
detriment-moral and
psychological--of many
viewers.”
TV-TUPI program director
Flavio Cavalcanti told the
communications ministry: “It
was not our intention to
provoke scandal.” Globo
network officials pledged “a
radical change in
programming addressed to
the large mass of viewers.”
