Una Parej a Encuentrista
HAS OIDO HABLAR
D EL ENCUENT R O
MATRIMONIAL?
ENTREVISTA CON UNA
PAREJA ENCUENTRIS-
TA.
Este movimiento
coraenzo como una
experiencia de gente
eatolica preoeupada por
ayudar a las parejas a vivir
mejor su matrimonio y a
tomar conseieneia de lo que
es el sacramento del
matrimonio. Pero mas que
un movimiento que reune a
las parejas es una
experiencia de vida en la
cual se nos plantean varios
interrogantes:
Quien soy ho como
persona? Quien soy yo
f rente a! otro, como
espose? Que planes tiene la
eultura para la pareja? Que
iugar tiene Dios en nuestra
vida? Que planes tiene Dios
para la pareja?
Nuestro objetivo es
demostrar que viviendo
como catolicos, podemos
ayudar a que el mundo sea
mejor; lograr que la pareja
se integre a la sociedad y
analice que puede hacer por
ella. Por eso las charlas que
se dictan en el movimiento
no tratan sobre teorias, sino
que cada cual cuenta como
vive, como afronta cada
uno de los aspectos de la
vida. SEGUN ESTA
ORIENT ACION, ESTOS
ENGUENTROS SON
SOLAMENTE PARA
M A T R I M O N I O S
CATOLICOS? No, anuque
se basa en el sacramento del
matrimonio de la Igiesia
Catoliea, esta abierto a
todos, aun para parejas que
no esten casadas. El unico
requisiito es que quieran ser
mejores como pareja, eso es
lo que importa.
En que forma se han
vineulado tantas parejas a
este movimiento?
Real men te no hemos
necesitado ningun tipo de
propaganda. Generalmente
las parejas que han ido a un
encuentro invitan e
inscriben a sus familiares o
amigos; de esta forma es
que se han vineulado hasta
ahora la mayoria de las
parejas.
El movimiento realiza
solamente los encuentros?
En realidad el encuentro
es solamente la puerta de
entrada pues existen otros
programas. Nuestro
objetivo es que cada
persona aprenda a valorarse
y valorar a los demas y
luche por su superacion
personal. Uno siempre esta
culpando a los demas de sus
propios problemas en lugar
de tratar de mejorar todo lo
malo; porque la realidad es
que uno solo tiene lo que ha
luchado. A traves del
encuentro se busca que la
persona logre una mejor
comunieaeion con su
pareja, asi tambien
aprendera a tener una
comunieaeion efectiva con
los demas. Nuestro interes
es que cada persona
conozea su puesto dentro
de la sociedad y sepa que su
grano d e arena es
importante.
LA ASISTENCIA AL
ENCUENTRO ES,
ESPECIALMENTE. PARA
PAREGJAS CON
PROBLEMAS?
No, aunque muchas
parejas asisten pensando
que se les van a resolver
todos los problemas
conyugales; pero en
realidad lo unico que
podemos ofrecerles son las
armas para luehar. El
encuentro no es para
matrimonios que esten en
crisis, sino para aquellas
parejas que quieran ser
mejores. Quienes no tienen
problemas graves son los
que pueden aprovechar
mejor los frutos del
encuentro; la pareja normal
y corriente que ha pasado
por las dificultades de
cualquier matrimonio y
desea enriquecer su
relacion.
QUE ACTIVIDADES
REALIZA LA PAREJA
DURANTE EL FIN DE
SEMANA?
Aunque muchas parejas
asistan al encuentro, no se
trata de una actividad
colective. Todo el trabajo
lo desarrolia la pareja en
privado, sin la intervencion
de nadie. En la orientacion
de estos encuentros se
alpiican las teorias mas
modernas de la sicologia. El
plan comprende algunas
charlas que son dictadas
pro tres parejas y un
saeerdote, a fin de motivar
a los asistentes a analizar
como estan ellos viviendo
determinadas experiencias

MUCHAS PAREJAS
HABLAN DEL
ENCUENTRO COMO
ALGO MARAVILLOSO.
QUE HAY DE ESPECIAL
EN EL?
En realidad son , las
parejas que asisten, las que
realmente hacen el
encuentro, tratando de
vivir mas profundamente
cada experiencia de la vida
diaria. Duran te el
encuentro no se realizan
terapias de grupo, ni nada
por el estilo. Los resultados
buenos, satisfactorios o
excelentes, se dan solo en la
medida en que la pareja
trabaje por ello. Se trata de
que cada cual busgue su
camino.
El resultado del
encuentro puede
compararse con un regalo;
algunos lo guardan con
mucho cuidado y no se
vuelven a acordar de el;
otros lo sacan solo cuando
hay visitas, v hay quienes lo
aprovechan a diario.
LAS PAREJAS QUE
ASISTEN AL ENCUEN
TRO, TIENEN ALCA NA
OBLIG ACION PARA CON
EL MOVIMIENTO?
No, no existe ninguna
obligacion. Sin embargo
muchas parejas han
decidido auydar a esparcer
el movimiento despues de
haber asistido a un fin de
semana, y lo hacen
voluntariamente, cada uno
da el tiempo que desee, y
realiza el trabajo que
quiera; el que mas se adapte
asu manera de ser.
EN DONDE SE DAN
ENCUENTROS AQUIEN
LOS ESTA DOS UNIDOS?
En los Estados Unidos se
realizan encuentros en la.

tienen una numerosa
poblacion hispana. En el
area de Los Angeles, por
ejemplo, se realizan mas de
8 encuentros al mes. Eso es
un total de mas de 200
parejas al mes. Aqui en
Atlanta, se realiza uno
aproximadamente cada 3
meses, dependiendo de el

Limiting The Federal Courts
BY JIM LACKEY
WASHINGTON (NC) -
While most of the news out
of Washington these days
concerns taxes and
budgets. Congress also is
beginning to address itself
to another issue with
perhaps equally radical
implications: the proposal
that it strip from the
federal courts the power to
rule on the “big three”,
social issues of abortion,
school prayer and busing.
Such a proposal has
been made a number of
times in the past on issues
as diverse as school prayer,
school desegregation,
congressional reapportion
ment and the admissability
at trial of criminal
confessions.
But what is different
this year is that both houses
of Congress are examining
the idea not just in
connection with a single
issue but in the larger
context of Congress’
overall power to define the
role of the federal
judiciary.
Take, for instance, the
Senate’s subcommittee on
the Constitution, chaired
by Sen. Orrin Hatch
(K-Utah). It announced
that it would hold hearings
in May on S. 583, a bill
introduced b\ Hatch to
limit the jurisdiction of the
courts of the United States

in matters relating to
abortion. But later the
subject of the hearing was
amended to cover, in
Hatch’s words, the “much
larger issue” of Congress’s
function in defining the
role of the federal
judiciary.
The subcommittee’s
counterpart on the House
side, while much more
hostile to legislation that
would tinker with federal
court jurisdiction, also held
hearings the first week of
June after it found itself
faced with 16 separate
proposals for limiting court
power.
The issue also has come
up at the hearings chaired
by Sen. John East (R-N.C.)
on the “human life bill,”
which includes a section
with judicial limitations
similar to those in the
Hatch bill.
Of course some see the
proposal as the answer to
their prayers and a way to
short-circuit unpopular
court decisions. But others
see the plan as a grave
threat to the Constitution
and the principal of
separation of powers.
And both sides have
accused the other of letting
their views on the ultimate
effects of the legislation
prejudice their views on its
constitutionality.
The proposal to limit
court jurisdiction springs
from Article 3 of the
Constitution, which sets
out the judicial power of
the United States. It
establishes a Supreme
Court, gives Congress the
power to establish lower
courts, and gives Congress
the power to regulate the
appellate jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court.
While many scholars are
divided on the meaning of
those clauses in the
Constitution, a number of
witnesses at Hatch’s

hearings said there is little
or nothing that prevents
Congress from limiting
court jurisdiction. While
some praised the fact that
Congress could exert such
control, others called it an
“unfortunate mistake” on
the part of the framers of
the Constitut ion, who were
divided on the
establishment of a federal
court system and arrived at
the final wording of Article
3 only through
compromise.
Another group, though,
says that while Congress
does have broad power to
limit federal court
jurisdiction, it cannot do so
when constitutional rights
are involved. To do so, they
argue, would be a violation
of Supreme Co urt
precedents that Congress
may not discriminate
against particular
constitutional rights -
including, for the time
being, abortion - by
burdening their exercise.
If such limitations were
upheld, they add, then
some future Congress could
decide to limit court
jurisdiction in cases
involving freedom of
religion. That would mean
that state courts for the
most part would have the
final say on First
Amendment freedoms,
leading to possibly 50
different interpretations of
what freedom of religion
actually means.
But supporters of limits
on federal court
jurisdiction contend that
the lower federal courts are
no wiser than the state
courts in interpreting
constitutional issues. In
fact, they say, some federal
judges -have become
“zealous, partisan and
prejudiced” champions of
abortion rather than
dispassioned interpreters of
the law.
And since the Supreme
Court still could reverse a
state court decision that
denies rights such as
freedom of religion,
supporters say, the fear
that such rights ultimately
would be trampled is
unfounded.
Resolution of the issue
probably is still a long way
off. While the Senate may
approve one or more
limitations on court
jurisdiction before the 97th
Congress expires at the end
of 1982, the proposals are
likely to be bottled up in
the Democratie-controlled
House.

CHARISMA TIC CONFERENCE
Coming To Pentecost
Through The Cross
BY GRETCHEN REISER
Notre Dame University’s modern and massive Athletic
and Convocation Center was dominated for three days in
May by a replica of a 12th century Byzantine-style cross.
The painted cross, red, black and gold, was a replica of
the one St. Francis of Assisi prayed before in the chapel of
San Damiano. There, he heard a voice telling him to go and
rebuild “my house.”
Suspended from the rafters of the Athletic Center, the
10-foot-high replica of the San Damiano cross served.as the
focal point for the 1981 National Conference on the
Charismatic Renewal in the Catholic Church. The theme,
taken from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, chapter
two, was “Jesus Crucified - the Power of Cod.”
Between 10-11,000 people from the United States and
Canada came to Notre Dame May 29-31 to hear leaders in
the renewal movement speak.and join in prayer, Masses, and
a healing service.
At a closing Mass on Sunday, Auxiliary Bishop Joseph
McKinney of Grand Rapids, Mich., spoke of the themes
which had emerged repeatedly during the conference. The
previous night had been a joyous momeat for him, he said,
as he had waited 13 years in the renewal “for the applause
for God to be louder than the applause for a basketball
star.” Then, turning to the cross, he capsulized the words of
many speakers who had been at the podium before him
during the weekend.
“No one comes to Pentecost except through the cross.”
he said. “There is no other way.”
On the cross Jesus was stripped “of all vainglory, He has
no possessions, no position of honor, no power.”
“There is one thing He has and it’s the source of His
strength. He is totally Son . . . and no power on earth could
strip Him of His sonship.”
Bishop McKinney called those gathered to “glory in the
crosses that come from being a Christian.”
“That’s a cross you should grab onto andjoyfully take,”
he said, “because from that cross Cod will bring victory.”
The conference opened Friday evening with a call to
pray before the cross, and speaker Kevin Ranaghan,
executive director of the National Service Committee of the
renewal, spoke of Jesus as “the bearer of God’s saving
power.”
In the Old Testament, that saving power was expressed
for the faithful in the miracle of the Red Sea, he said. In
Jesus, he said, “is born the saving power of God.”
During His life, Jesus expressed the power of Cod in
miracles of healing and teaching, but in His death he
expressed the power “so that we might have the power to
live with Him in God.”
This gift from God can only be received, not gotten, he
said, but he spoke of “four things I believe to be things God
is calling us to basically, fundamentally in each of our lives.”
They are a continual conversion to Jesus -- “a need to
turn more and more of myself over to Him” - a daily
yielding to the work of the Holy Spirit, and regular and
frequent use of the sacraments of confession and the
Eucharist.
“We need to see what Jesus saw from the cross for the
power of the cross to have the full outworking in our lives,”
he said. “He looks out on His whole church, He looks out on
His whole world. We have to see His desire and His longing
to have the saving power of Cod break through.”
“We are not just to be the receivers of the power of Cod.
We are to be the bearers of the power of God”to the larger
world, he said.
