The Mulvihill Band
Hibernians Await Mulvihill Band
Sing, dance and enjoy Ireland’s rousing,
mellow and rebel music during a special
evening of Irish music and dance November
14 at 8:30 p.m., presented by the
Hibernian Benevolent Society of Atlanta.
One of New York’s finest Irish musical
groups, the Tommy Mulvihill Band, makes
an Atlanta appearance, the band’s first visit
here, for the festive evening held in the
gym at the Cathedral of Christ the King,
Peachtree and East Wesley.
The night also includes entertainment
during a band break by costumed children
who will demonstrate Irish step dancing.
Irish goods, records and memorabilia will
be displayed and for sale, and Hibernian
lassies wearing authentic old Irish costumes
will act as hostesses.
Each member of the Mulvihill band,
Tommy Mulvihill, Johnny Murphy and
Seamus Greene, is a seasoned performer.
They have been entertaining together for
more than a year in the New York area and
welcome the opportunity to bring their
unique sound to the south for the first
time. Mulvihill not only sings but plays
guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and bass
SR. THERESA KANE
guitar. Songs such as the Tipperary tune
“Slievenamon” play up the vocal talents of
Johnny Murphy, who also contributes with
the playing of the piano accordian. Greene
handles both drums and percussion.
Music from the trio’s latest album,
released in April, will be performed,
including the album title song, “Keep the
Tradition Alive.” This is a Mulvihill
original, which he calls “our own
statement.” Mulvihill’s spirited show, laced
with humorous repartee, covers a variety of
Irish music, including one song he first
released in Ireland. Called “Ha ‘penny
Bridge,” it was written for Mulvihill by one
of his Irish friends.
To share in the night of Irish fun call
Matt Naughton at 378-3627 or 938-4968.
Tickets are $10. If available, they may be
purchased at the door.
The Mulvihill Band will perform
throughout the evening. A dance floor will
be centered before the stage and
surrounding seats will provide a good view
of the stage. Ice, water and set-ups will be
available for those wishing to bring their
own beverage refreshments.
Acknowledge Laity And Poor
MILWAUKEE (NC) -
Treasurers and fiscal
directors of religious
communities, as true
Christian stewards, will
have challenges to face in
the next decade, according
to Sister Theresa Kane,
a d ministrator general of
the Sisters of Mercy of the
Union.
The challenges center
on acknowledgements of
the gifts of the laity in
areas of finance and on
awareness of how fiscal
policies affect the plight of
the poor.
Sister Kane drew both
favorable and negative
comment in October 1979
when, as president of the
Leadership Conference of
Women Religious, she
spoke to Pope John Paul II
in a televised prayer
service when he was
visiting the National
Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception in Washington.
She asked the pope to
listen and respond to the
pleas of women to serve as
fully participating
members in all ministries
of the church.
Sister Kane was in
Milwaukee as keynote
speaker at the annual
meeting of the Conference
of Religious Treasurers.
Stewards of
congregations’ finances
must meet these challenges
with a critical approach, a
sense of compassion for
the suffering of others and
a sense of confidence, she
told the 500 financial
directors in attendance.
“Vatican II called on us
to be a church of the
people of God
community,” with
emphasis on reconcili
ation, respect for all
persons and recognition of
the diversity of gifts, Sister
Kane said.
Religious should not be
fearful of positions given
to the laity. They should
not make the mistake of
thinking laymen do not
possess the same
commitment or deny
laymen their mission in
the church, she said.
Sister Kane also called
for a responsible
divestment of assets.
Christians are being called
to review unnecessary
possessions, she said, in
order that others can have
a greater share of earthly
resources.
The challenge, she said,
will be to recommend
creative alternatives that
will assure that assets

which are divested are for
the poor of the world and
do not go into
‘‘domineering and
oppressive power systems
with extreme concern for
material profits.”
Also, she said, Religious
treasurers need to be alert
to social analysis, a tool
being used by people
concerned about the poor
in industrialized and
developing countries.
Through it, she said
economic, political and
religious systems are
studied to see how they
either advance or hinder
the right of each person to
the pursuit of life, liberty
and sanctity.
She called for global
consciousness with an
awareness of the social
dimensions of fiscal
stewardship. “Everything
we do must include a
concern for others,” she
said.
At one time it was
expected that the finance
person would take charge
of the money and others
would do the social
concerns work, she said.
‘‘Your challenge is to
reverse that belief with a
global perspective on
issues, systems and
structures,” she stated.

Catholic Lutheran Dialogue
NC NEWS SERVICE
Divisions among
Christians ‘‘are a
challenge to our
conscience,” Bishop
Arthur J. O’Neill of
Rockford, Ill., told
Lutherans and Catholics
gathered for the first in a
series of “reconciliation
festivals” to continue in
November.
In his welcoming
address, the bishop asked
more than 700 laymen
and clergymen in St.
Peter Cathedral in
Rockford to “level the
hills and make straight
the winding paths” in the
ecumenical effort.
Meanwhile, in
Orlando, Fla., Lutherans
and Catholics meeting at
a statewide Lutheran
convocation expressed
optimism that the
Roman Catholic-Luthe-
ran dialogue in their state
has been strengthened,
deepened and made more
alive.
At the meeting in
Rockford, the Rev. A.R.
Kretzmann, pastor of St.
Luke Lutheran Church in
Chicago, discussed
Lutheran development
and placed the Augsburg
Confession, the
16th-century statement
setting forth Lutheran
beliefs, in a historical
perspective. He noted
that Martin Luther’s
treatise was written when
the Turks were
threatening Europe.
“The emperor was so
desperate ... he even
agreed to sit and listen to
theologians,” Mr.
Kretzmarin said. The
confession was discussed
by secular as well as
religious leaders of the
day.
Mr. Kretzmann said
that “freedom came not
from the Reformation
but from a modem
world” when people fled
religious persecution to
come to a new land.
“The church cannot be
strong, healthy and clean
without a constant
protest; but it cannot be
these things on protest
alone,” he added.
The Lutheran minister
also described the
distribution of the
Scriptures around the
globe. “With millions all
over the world we can
say, ‘We believe in God
the Father Almighty.’
The impact of those
words is shared by all
Christians,” he said.
In the Florida
discussions, Father
Harold B. Bumpus,
chairman of the St.
Petersburg diocesan

MEMBERS OF THE LIVING
WORD Lutheran Church in
Jonesboro and Saint Philip Benizi
Parish, Jonesboro, shared a
bus to attend the Lutheran-
Catholic Reformation/Recon
ciliation Service, October 26.
These churches have cooperated in
various ways, including an annual
joint Thanksgiving Day Service.
To the right is Father John C.
Kieran, Pastor of Saint Philip’s,
and Reverend Steven Lorimer,
Pastor of Living Word.
ARCHBISHOP THOMAS A. DONNELLAN
and Bishop Gerald S. Troutman of the
Southeastern Synod, Lutheran Church in
America, recently joined in celebrating
Reformation - Reconciliation Sunday.
Ecumenical Commission,
called Mary and the two
churches’ approaches to
grace as the block that
must be surmounted for
Lutheran and Catholic
approaches to such
questions to converge.
The Lutheran view on
these matters “is still an
insight to instrumentality
and grace, how God
works,” the priest said.
The essential difference
between the theologies is
“what grace does to the
creature and what the
creature does with
grace,” he said.
“The opposed error in
Catholicism, folk
religion, is that Mary is
sometimes seen as an
independent agent, a
person possessing a
certain divinity in
herself,” he said. “But
the ground we are
concerned with is
rational and theological,
not emotional, even
though most reasoning is
focused by and through
the emotions. That
ground is the doctrine of
grace.”
Because Mary is the
exemplar of God’s grace,
this makes her
objectionable to most
Lutherans, Father
Bumpus said.
“We may find the two
approaches coming
closer” as Lutherans and
Catholics deal with
Mariology in the context
of grace. Their dialogue
is seeking a convergence
of the theologies of
grace, he said.
Jill Raitt, a member
of the U.S. Catholic
bishops’ Commission for
Interreligious and
Ecumenical Affairs and
president-elect of the
American Academy of
Religion, was optimistic
about Lutheran-Roman
Catholic dialogue. Her
reasons included
20th-century biblical
scholarship, historical
understanding,
theological development
and ecumenism following
Vatican II.
“Today we are more
conscious of God and of
each other and willing to
enter into the mystery to
solve it,” she said of the
discussions of grace and
other beliefs of the two
churches.
Bishop Thomas J.
Grady of Orlando
expressed the hope that
“we will all be united in
the next 450 years.”
The Rev. David
Wolber, an American
Lutheran Church dean
(akin to a non-residential
bishop), summed up the
Florida Lutheran-Cath
olic meeting. “With new
exposure to the wider
expression of oneness of
Christian brothers and
sisters, the Roman
Catholic and Lutheran
dialogue in Florida has
been strengthened,
deepened and made more
alive,” he said.
Also in Florida, the
annual Reformation
Service of the Dade
County Lutheran
churches featured, for
the first time, an address
by a Catholic priest -
Msgr. Bryan 0. Walsh,
Miami archdiocesan
director of Catholic
Charities.
In his remarks, Msgr.
Walsh reminded his
listeners not to forget the
people when working
together. “Reconciliation
is something that begins
and ends in the hearts
and minds of men and
women, old and young,”
he said. “This is a danger,
if we concentrate our
attention too much on
institutional progress,
important as it is, and
ignore the people in the
pews and the pastors in
the front line of our
pulpits.”
Shroud Claimed Authentic
BY NC NEWS SERVICE
A Redemptorist priest who is president
of the Holy Shroud Guild in the United
States and several members of a U.S.
scientific team investigating the image on
the Shroud of Turin have rejected the
recent claim that the image was painted on
the cloth.
The shroud, which some Christians
believe is the burial sheet of Jesus Christ, is
a folded piece of faded linen, about 14 feet
by 4 feet, kept in a silver box in the
cathedral in Turin, Italy. In a photographic
negative its markings appear as the image
of a crucified man.
John Jackson, a physicist at Colorado
State University who is a co-founder of the
Shroud of Turin Research Project, took
issue with the claim made in September in
London by Walter McCrone, a Chicago
expert in microscopic chemical analysis
and a former member of the research
project. McCrone said he had found
evidence of iron oxide on the hairlike
strands, or microfibrils, of the shroud’s
linen fibers. The presence of the iron
oxide, McCrone said, indicated that an
iron-rich earth pigment like red ochre was
used to paint the image.
Jackson said a painter would have had
to have almost superhuman skill to
produce the shroud’s three-dimensionality,
the variations in brightness of the image
which precisely reflect varying distances
between parts of the body that arise when
a cloth is laid over a human form.
With Eric Jumper, an Air Force
Academy aerodynamicist, Jackson
discovered the three-dimensional relief four
years ago with sophisticated
image-analyzing equipment.
Jackson said that up close to the shroud
a person can see only amorphous stains and

can’t tell to what part of the body the
stains correspond.
He said the iron particles could have
come from the decomposition and
abrading of blood stains. Hemogobin, a
protein in human blood cells, contains
iron.
Redemptorist Father Adam Otterbein,
assistant pastor at Mother of Perpetual
Help Parish in Ephrata, Pa., and president
of the Holy Shroud Guild in the United
States, said none of the other U.S.
scientists involved in the shroud research
project concurs with McCrone’s
conclusions. Questions McCrone cannot
answer, the priest said, are “If it were
painted, where are the brush strokes?” and
“How can the negative photographic image
the shroud provides be explained?”
Father Otterbein said scientists
abandoned the theory that the shroud was
painted as early as 1902.
All that McCrone said is that he was
convinced the shroud was a fake, but could
not prove it, Father Otterbein noted. “Our
response is that until he can prove it, he
shouldn’t claim the shroud is a fraud.”
Samuel Pellicori, an optical physicist at
the Santa Barbara Research Institute in
Goleta, Calif., who has been analyzing
hundreds of microscopically magnified
photographs he took of the shroud in
1978, said the image is so delicate that it
had to be the result of natural chemical
changes caused by a crucified body’s
secretions and burial oils.
Alan Adler, a professor of chemistry at
Western Connecticut State College, another
member of the research project, said he
and John Heller of the New England
Research Institute in Ridgefield, Conn.,
have completed a series of microchemical
tests on shroud fibrils and have found no
evidence of dyes, stains or pigments.
