Dies At 44
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
(NC) - James F. Andrews,
44, board chairman of the
Universal Press Syndicate
and former managing
editor of Ave Maria
magazine and National
Catholic Reporter, died
Oct. 19 in Kansas City
after a heart attack.
He founded Universal
Press Syndicate in 1970
with John P. McMeel after
acquiring the rights to the
comic strip “Doones-
bury.”
The syndicate
distributes more than 60
features and comic strips.
Columns include those by
Father Andrew Greeley,
William Buckley, James
Kilpatrick and “Dear
Abbey.” Universal Press
Syndicate is also the
parent company of
Andrew and McMeel
Publishers.
A funeral Mass for
Andrews was to be
celebrated Oct. 22 at Cure
of Ars Church in
Leawood, Kansas. Garry
Trudeau, who writes and
draws “Doonesbury,” was
to give the eulogy.
Andrews had started
working with Trudeau in
the late 1960s when
Trudeau was publishing
“Doonesbury” in the Yale
Daily News.
“He had a real talent
for spotting talent,” said
Art Winter, who worked
with Andrews at National
Catholic Reporter. “He
was kind, hardworking --
the kinds of things you say
about people when they
die are really true about
Jim.”
Andrews was managing
editor of National Catholic
Reporter from 1968-1970.
He was managing editor of
Ave Maria from 1965-67
and a book editor at Sheed
James F. Andrews
and Ward, Inc. from
1963-65.
He was the author of
“The Citizen Christian”
and co-author of “The
Perplexed Catholic,”
which was written with
Holy Cross Father John
Reedy. Books he edited
include “Creative
Suffering,” and “Pope
Paul VI: Critical
Appraisals.”
Andrews was
co-chairman, along with
Philip Scharper,
editor-in-chief of Orbis
Books, of the Committee
for the Responsible
Election of the Pope in
1978. The committee was
aimed at briefing members
of the College of Cardinals
and other interested
people on the
qualifications of future
candidates for pope.
A native of Westfield,
Mass., Andrews was
graduated from St. Mary’s
Seminary and University
in Baltimore. He met
McMeel while doing
postgraduate work at the
University of Notre Dame
in South Bend, Ind., where
he roomed at the home of
McMeel’s mother.
Survivors include his
wife, Kathleen, and two
sons.

Children’s Church
Membership Considered
WASHINGTON (NC) -- A recommendation Of the
Eastern Orthodox-Roman Catholic Consultation in the
United States could lead to having the Catholic Church
drop its insistence that a Catholic marrying an Orthodox
promise to do everything possible to raise children of the
marriage as Catholics.
Father Joseph W. Witmer, associate director of the U.S.
bishops’ Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious
Affairs, made that assessment of the joint
recommendations issued after the meeting in New York
City Oct. 10-11 of representatives of the Catholic Church
and of major Eastern Orthodox churches.
The decision about the children’s church membership
is up to the husband and wife and “should take into
account the good of the children, the strength of the
religious convictions of the parents and other relatives, the
demands of their consciences, the unity and stability of
the family, and other aspects of the specific context,” the
consultation said.
“In some cases, when it appears certain that only one
of the partners will fulfill his or her responsibility, it
seems clear that the children should be raised in that
partner’s church. In other cases, however, the children’s
spiritual formation include a fuller participation in the life
and traditions of both churches, respecting, however, the
canonical order of each church.
“Here particularly the decision of the children’s church
membership is more difficult to make,” the consultation
said. “Yet we believe that this decision can be made in
good conscience. This is possible because of the proximity
of doctrine and practice of our churches, which enables
each to a high degree to see the other precisely as church,
as the locus for the communion of men and women with
God and with each other through Jesus Christ in the Holy
Spirit.”
Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland of Milwaukee
headed Catholic participants in the consultation and
Greek Orthodox Bishop Maxinos of Pittsburgh led the
Eastern Orthodox participants.
“The Orthodox-Roman Catholic couple contemplating
marriage should discuss the problem of the spiritual
formation of children with both their pastors,” the
consultation recommended. “Both parents should be
urged to take an active role in their children’s spiritual
formation in all its aspects. Pastors should counsel the
parents, and their children as well, against indifference in
religious matters, which so often masks itself as
tolerance.”
The consultation urged all family members to leam
more about their faith and to “agree to pray, study,
discuss and seek unity in Christ, and to express their
commitment to this unity in all aspects of their lives.”
Father Witmer noted that the recommendations of the
nine Catholic and 13 Orthodox consultation members'
must be adopted by their churches before they are
implemented.

Doctors Criticized
DUBLIN, Ireland (NC) - Some doctors are acting as
“social executioners,” said Dr. C. Everett Koop of
Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia at an international
pro-life congress.
Abortion on demand, infanticide and euthanasia are
related like falling dominoes, he said.
Infanticide is widely practiced, he added. “Physicians
deny it. Nurses affirm it.”
Koop spoke at the International Congress of the World
Federation of Doctors Who Respect Life in Dublin.
Jerome Lejeune, a genetics professor at the University
of Paris, criticized an unsigned article in the Lancet,
British medical journal, in which a doctor said he had
killed newborn babies with Down’s Syndrome
(mongolism) by giving them barbiturates.
Lejeune said prospects were good for prevention of
neural tube defect leading to Down’s Syndrome by
multivitamin therapy for pregnant women.
Quoting birth statistics from 1972 to 1977, Dr. J.
Michael Harry of Aalborg, Denmark, predicted that
abortion on demand will halve the Danish population
within 158 years.
About 360 persons, mostly doctors, from 40 countries
attended the congress.
Papal Support
j
A Surprise
LONDON (NC) - Pope John Paul II surprised the
Brazilian government by supporting the pastoral policies
of the Brazilian church, said Archbishop Helder Camara of
Olinda-Recife, Brazil.
“Our line was strongly approved” during the pope’s
trip to Brazil in July, he said at a press conference Oct. 23
in London.
Papal approval came as a terrible surprise for the
Brazilian government, which had expected the pope to
take different positions, said the archbishop.
Many Brazilian bishops have been at odds with Brazil’s
military government over human rights and social justice
issues.
Standing up for the rights of the oppressed means
becoming engaged in politics, but this is a duty and a right
of churchmen, added Archbishop Camara.
He said he was skeptical about the government’s
program of political liberalization which authorities say
will eventually lead to civilian rule.
“For me it is a great illusion,” he said. “If the
government is opening doors and windows, it is very easy
for it to close them again.”
The archbishop said a newspaper was forced to close
after publishing the names of wealthy Brazilians it said
had numbered accounts in Swiss banks.

Demands Endurance
ESTES PARK, Colo.
(NC) - Nellie Bagley is a
woman whose life has
been focused on fighting
for the rights of “welfare
mothers” in Bridgeport,
Conn., through a group
called the Economic
Rights Organization.
Does she get
discouraged by the
continued existence of
poverty and injustice?
“Sometimes I do,” Ms.
Bagley said. “I’ve been in
this for years ... and year
after year I have to go to
the governor and fight so
they won’t cut back on
housing for my women.
But when I get depressed,
I think about those
women who need me. And
I know somebody has to
do it.”
She is involved in the
work of the Campaign for
Human Development, the
Catholic Church’s
10-year-old domestic
anti-poverty program
which supports self-help
projects of poor and
disadvantaged people.
CHD recently held a
national meeting at Estes
Park.
CHD participants
discussed the obstacles
they and the poor
confront in their
day-by-day, year-after-year
struggle and the need for
awareness of the issues of
justice and social change.
But they “keep
plugging away” as one
urban pastoral minister
said. “There’s so much
that needs to be done.”
They’re what Bishop
Lawrence J. McNamara of
Grand Island, Neb., called
“long-distance runners for
justice and peace.”
Describing his previous
work as CHD executive
director, Bishop
McNamara said that “the
work of justice” takes a
lifetime. There have been
some great “short-distance
runners” who with a
tremendous burst of speed
seem to be accomplishing
great things, but who soon
tire, he said.
“True social change is
brought about by the
long-distance runners . . .-
the long-distance runners
for justice and peace,” the
bishop said.
Bishop McNamara
recalled that when CHD
began there were many
questions about the
organization’s chances for
success and continuation.
To all those questions
he replied: “Here we are
on CHD’s 10th
birthday . . . and I say we
have made a difference.”
During the Estes Park
meetings, some CHD
participants suggested that
the U.S. bishops, who
established the campaign,
should emphasize its
mission in justice-related
education as well as its
mission of funding
self-help projects.
They also said that the
poor should be a greater
part of the CHD process.
(However, according to
CHD guidelines, projects
funded must benefit the
poor and be directed by
low-income groups
themselves.)
Some persons also said
institutional changes are
needed within the church
itself as well as in the
social and political
structures outside it.
But the CHD
conference wasn’t all
discussion-oriented.
Participants said it was
also an opportunity to
meet people from across
the nation engaged in
similar work.
‘‘It’s just beautiful,
communicating with all
these people, from all
parts of the country .. .-
knowing that there are so
many working for justice
and peace,” said Loretta
Mau of Brooklyn, N.Y.
At a Mass he
concelebrated with Bishop
McNamara, Archbishop
Patrick Flores of San
Antonio, Texas, told a
parable about a group of
people looking for Christ.
They sought Jesus on the
altars, in the sacristy, in
the cathedrals, to no avail.
So they told God that
Christ was lost. As the
archbishop continued:
“God asked the people,
‘Did you look for Him in
the pockets of misery, in
the slums, in the inner
cities, in the poor villages
of paper and boards?’
“‘No, the people told
God.’
‘“Then Christ is not
lost,’ God told them, ‘You
are lost,”’ the archbishop
said.
CHD “has found
Christ,” he stated. “It has
found Him in the fields of
migrant farmworkers
.. . with the blacks, the
browns, the white
poor ... in the inner
cities, in the factories
where workers need better
conditions, in the pockets
of misery ... in people
seeking self-determinat
ion... in helping senior
citizens seeking better
housing ... in battered
women, in abused
children.” The campaign
“has denounced injustices
not only verbally but also
by its actions,” he added.
