PAPAL MESSAGE
Healthy Church Needs Mission Spirit
POPE COMES BACK -
Standing in an open car and
reaching out to the crowd, Pope
John Paul II arrives in St. Peter’s
Square for his first general audience
since being shot at an audience May
13. Two dozen police and Swiss
Guards escorted the pope at the
audience. His return came only a
day after another world leader,
Eqyptian President Anwar Sadat,
was assassinated in Cairo. The pope
praised Sadat as a “great
statesman” and condemned the
attack as a “barbarous
assassination.”

VATICAN CITY
(NC) -- A church
without missionary
commitment is “an
incomplete church or a
sick church,” Pope John
Paul II said in a message
for the 1981 World
Mission Day, Oct. 18.
The pope also urged
parents to teach their
children that “there are
more fundamental
concerns than money,
vacations or fun” and
called for increased
contributions by people
in rich nations to the
pontifical mission
societies.
The message was
issued at the Vatican
Aug. 11, while Pope
John Paul was still in a
Rome hospital after an
assassination attempt
May 13 and subsequent
medical complications.
Bearing the date of June
6, it was the first major
papal document dated
after the shooting.
“World Mission Day
is an occasion for
everyone to make an
examination of
conscience on this
matter and to set forth
to the people of God the
doctrine of the church;
in fact, it involves the
future of the
evangelization of the
world,” the pope said.
“If all Christians
could be persuaded of
their missionary
obligations, the
difficulties would be less
weighty,” he added.
Pope John Paul said
parents bear the
principal responsibility
for teaching their
children about the
missionary duties of
each Christian.
“The prayer of the
parents, like that of the
Christian community,
will be for the children
an initiation into the
search for God and to
listening to His calls,”
the message said.
“This supposes that
the children learn in the
family, as a normal
consequence of prayer,
to look at the world in a
Christian way,
according to the
Gospel,” he said. “It
also supposes that in the
family they learn
concretely that in life
there are more
fundamental concerns
than money, vacations
and fun.”
In addition to
individual missionary
commitment, the effort
requires concrete
financial aid, the pope
said.
“To obscure or to
criticize this aspect
could be a slender
pretext for dispensing
with being generous,”

La situacion de los
jovenes hispanos que viven
en los Estados Unidos hoy
esta marcada mas que nada
por la palabra ‘Escoger.”
Nos encontramos viviendo
en una cultura
extraordinariamente
fuerte. La moda, musica,
valores y estilo de vida
norteameriacano es tan
atrayente que en toda
Europa, America Latina y
demas continentes se ven
los “jeans”, se baila el
“rock ‘n roll”, y tanto los
negocios como las
instituciones culturales han
sido definitivamente
marcados por cosas o
maneras de hacer las cosas
“Made in USA.”
Nosotros vivimos en
Estados Unidos, somos
educados en escuelas
americanas, vemos
television, leemos revistas,
hacemos compras y
trabajamos en ingles. Los
valores e ideales
norteamericanos nos
empapan. Esto nos pasa no
solo a nosotros los jovenes,
sino a ustedes los adultos
tambien. Queramos o no
admitirlo, nos gusta vivir
aqui. Muchos hemos nacido
aqui. Nos sentimos orgullos
y damos gracias a Dios por
poder vivir en esta sociedad
donde se respeta el valor del
trabajo, donde a pesar de la
descriminacion racial, se
puede uno superar,
estudiar. Aqui hay libertad.
Aqui a nadie que este en
contra de un gobernante se
le pone preso o torturar. Es
por esto que ustedes,
nuestros padres, han
decidido vivir aqui.
Nosotros vemos los
ideales norteamericanos
pero tambien vemos las
cosas que no son buenas. El
sexo desordenado, las
drogas en nuestras escuelas,
el materialismo, el divorcio,
las familias dispersas, rotas,
destruidas, la descrimin
acion, la poca aceptacion
que tiene la jerarquia de la
Iglesia por nuestro idioma y
nuestra manera de ser.
Estas cosas no nos gusta.
Los jovenes estamos frente
a estas alternativas.
Estamos tomando
decisiones que nos
afestaran para el resto de
nestras vidas. Estamos
frente a opciones

demanda todo lo contrario.
No confia en ella. Esta
dualidad de valores es una
hipocrasia y ante esa
alternativa decimos NO.

ancianos norteamericanos

sociedad de productos
desechables lo viejo se tira a

decimos NO.
La juventud hispana

opciones. Tomar lo mejor

nosotros los jovenes vamos

pedimos tu apoyo. Hablale

he wrote.
“The financial needs
of the young churches,
which includes nearly all
the countries in the
Third World, are still
enormous despite their
efforts to reach financial
autonomy,” Pope John
Paul added.
The financial
contributions of
Christians in poor
countries “must cause
reflection among the
rich nations, which
often give only a small
part of their surplus,” he
said.
Pope John Paul said
that missionary funds
can be better spent if all
contributions go to the
pontifical missionary
societies for distribution
by the superior council,
which meets at the
Vatican.
“Only a fund of
central solidarity can
avoid the danger of
forgetting some
JOAN BAEZ
churches, expecially the
poorest, or certain of
their essential needs,”
he said.
“Only through a
program of aid
appropriate to various
needs can the obstacle
of partiality and
therefore of discriminat
ion in the distribution of
aid be avoided.”
The document made
no mention of the
attempt on the pope’s
life, but indicated he
hopes to continue his
apostolic visits to
foreign countries.
“These trips allowed
me to admire the faith,
the spiritual richness
and vitality of the young
churches, to share their
joys, their needs and
their sufferings, to
encourage their efforts
to root the Christian
faith in their own
cultures,” Pope John
Paul said.

Mis s ione rs ’ De aths
Brought Unity
WASHINGTON (NC) -- Folk singer Joan Baez, who
toured Central and South America for five months, said the
death of four U.S. missionary women in El Salvador
brought the religious communities in the United States and
Latin America closer together.
The four were killed last December near the San
Salvador, El Salvador, airport.
Miss Baez toured Latin America as chairman of
Humanitas International, a human rights group
headquartered in Menlo Park, Calif.
Commercial concerts scheduled by local groups in
Argentina, Brazil and Chile featuring the singer were
cancelled by authorities who “feared her protest songs
could encourage the opposition,” a Humanitas report said.
She sang in churches and poor neighborhoods.
Miss Baez was in Washington to share her experiences
with administration officials and congressmen as well as
church and human rights groups.
She attributed the large crowds at the improvised
concerts in churches and neighborhoods, “even from the
middle class and the well-to-do, to my records played by the
young in their homes.”
Besides wide distribution given to her records in English,
the album in Spanish “Gracias a la Vida” has gained
popularity in Latin America.
Of the warm reception given by authorities and crowds
in Nicaragua, she had mixed feelings.
“The men and women we met had unequivocally put
their lives on the line for the liberation of Nicaragua and
were highly admirable human beings . .. Yet it troubled me
the sight of people, young and old, marching around with
M-16s slung over their shoulders.”
She said her main point to congressmen and officials at
the Department of State regarding aid to military regimes
was that “we (Americans) have a reputation for being a
caring nation and we must know whom we choose as our
friends.”
“Humanitas defends the rights of all unjustly oppressed
regardless of ideology. It doesn’t matter if the guard beating
you with a rubber hose is a communist or a capitalist. It
hurts the same ... We engage in dialogue with both sides, so
that the yoke of ideology does not hang on them for their
entire life.”
