Atlanta Sisters Schedule
Group Process Workshop
The Atlanta Conference of Sisters will sponsor its annual
workshop, March 21 and 22 at St. Joseph Infirmary on the
topic “Fire on the Earth: Religious Groups in Conflict.”
The workshop, presented by Dr. M. Vera Duvall, RSM, and
Dr. Joseph F. Scheuer, CSP, will focus on the group process as it
affects sisters and priests working in the Church today.
Participants in the workshop will analyze case studies in
which a confusion of roles and conflict have been caused by
changes in the Church.
Noted sociologists, Sister Duvall and Father Scheuer plan to
“delineate many of the perspectives from which conflicts arise.”
Their aim is to make sense out of “troublesome situations” and
thus “ease fears and release energy for Church related work.”
Sister Duvall brings to the workshop extensive experience as
teacher, author and lecturer in sociology, anthropology and
oriental spirituality. She has also had field experience in
inner-city parishes in New York City and travelled to eight cities
in India as well as several in the U.S. studying oriental religions.
Sister is presently working on a book “The Languages of
Sociology.”
Father Scheuer has, at various times, served on the faculties
of St. Joseph College, Rensseler, Indiana, and at Fordham
University in the departments of Sociology, Political Philosophy
and Social Sciences. He has also been research assistant or
consultant on a number of projects including the Juvenile Court
Community Development Project and the Urban Child Study.
He co-authored a book entitled, “The DeRomanization of the
American Catholic Church” with Ed Wakin and is presently
working on “The Languages of Sociology” with Sister Duvall.
Sisters of Savannah Diocese have also been invited to the
workshop which will begin March 21 at 7:30 p.m. and continue
through Saturday afternoon.
The program is being organized by the Personal Development
Committee of the Atlanta Conference of Sisters, including Sister
Frances Ann Cook, RSM, Sister Barbara Sitko, IHM, and Sister
Mary Margaret O’Hara, GNSH.
Reservations or inquiries may be directed to Sister Madeline
Roddenbery, RSM, President of ACS, at the Office of Catholic
Schools, 881-6643.
Renewal Night Set
At Corpus Christi
“Come Holy Spirit, fill the
hearts of your faithful. . . and
you shall renew the face of
the earth.” This is the central
thought of the fourth renewal
night to be held at Corpus
Christi Parish on Friday,
March 14. The theme of the
evening is “Witnessing in the
Holy Spirit: Fulfilling Our
Responsibility for the Mission
of the Church.”
The evening will begin at 7
p.m. around the Eucharistic
table with Scriptural Stations
of the Cross.
After a brief welcome by
Father Joseph Beltran in the
parish center, Cecile Nelson,
committee member in charge,
will introduce the evening’s
theme. Father Patrick Padden
will develop the relationship
between witnessing in the
Holy Spirit and the Catholic’s
responsibility for the mission
of the Church. An
opportunity for questions
and answers will follow.
To enter into the practical
realms of daily living two
workshops will be offered,
one on Witnessing in the
Home and one on Witnessing
on the Job. Participants in
the renewal evening will be
invited to attend the hour
long session of their choice.
Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament. with Scripture
readings will be the setting
for the final half hour of
personal reflection for the
evening.
A coffee will conclude the
three-hour evening of sharing
and prayer.

Restore Devotion to Penance
Pope Tells Foreign Visitors
VATICAN CITY (NC) - Pope Paul VI has
called on Catholics to restore to the sacrament
of Penance the “devotion, the gratitude and
the joy it deserves.”
The Pope made the plea first in French in
the Papal audience hall where about 5,000
foreign visitors were gathered. At noon that
same Feb. 26 he repeated his plea in Italian to
visitors in St. Peter’s Basilica.
The weekly papal general audience was held
in two parts to accommodate Holy Year
pilgrims whose numbers have increased
markedly in recent days.
The Pope noted: “The concept, the esteem
and the use of the sacrament of Penance have
not always received from everyone the
privileged consideration they deserve.”
He added: “Let us give to this sacrament
or, if need be, restore to it the devotion,
gratitude, and joy it deserves from our faith
and piety.”
The Pope traced the historical development
of the sacrament of Penance and noted that
the early Church was hindered in its
understanding of the sacrament “by a too
narrow and literal interpretation of a phrase in
the Epistle to the Hebrews: ‘if we sin willfully
after having received the knowledge of the
truth, there remains no longer a sacrifice for
sins’ (10,26).”
A clearer view of the sacrament was given
last year with the publication of the Ordo
Paenitentiae by the Vatican Congregation for
Divine Worship. The Pope said this document,
updating the rite of Confession, was
“certainly among the most significant pieces
of recent liturgical and pastoral legislation.”

BY JIM CASTELLI
WASHINGTON (NC) - A
revised definition of death
adopted by the American Bar
Association closely parallels a
position taken by the Health
Affairs Committee of the
U.S. Catholic Conference.
The ABA position,
adopted by a voice vote at a
Chicago meeting, says “For
all legal purposes, a human
body with irreversible, total
cessation of brain function,
according to all usual and
customary standards of
medical practice, should be
considered dead.”
The ABA position, reached
after an 18-month, $200,000
study, goes beyond the
current legal definition of
death, which is the stoppage
of heartbeat and respiration.
An ABA spokesman said
the new definition was
needed because heartbeat and
respiration can be continued
artificially through medical
technology after such
“irreversible, total cessation
of brain function” has
occured.
The ABA position will be
introduced into all state
legislatures for consideration.
The ABA position was
developed in response to
concern expressed about
determining death in cases
where organs from the
deceased will be used in
transplants.
The American Medical
Association has opposed the
establishment of a “legal”
definition of death, claiming
death should be determined
only by the medical
profession.
Directives adopted by the
USCC Health Affairs
Committee last November
retain cessation of the
heartbeat and respiration as
the standard criteria for
death. But, the directives
said, “there are certain
clinical circumstances when
these criteria may be
insufficient, particularly in
the course of maintenance of
cardiopulmonary function
and when considering the
procurement of donor organs
for transplantation.”
