AACCW’s Memorable Weekend
BY THEA JARVIS
It was a memorable weekend for the
women of the archdiocese as the
twenty-fifth annual convention of the
Archdiocesan Council of Catholic
Women met at the northwest Atlanta
Hilton September 25-26.
One-hundred fifty members were on
hand to attend Saturday workshops,
celebrate Mass, attend to necessary
business and share fellowship together.
On Friday evening, Mayor Dana
Eastham welcomed the convention
guests to the city of Marietta. Guest
speaker at the Friday business meeting
was the national president of the Council
of Catholic Women, Mrs. Donald LeFils
of Osteen, Florida.
Council workshops presented a wide
variety of subjects, including the crisis in
El Salvador, the effective organization of
parish volunteers, and preparation for the
“Golden years” of the elderly.
Special recognition at the convention
was given to Monsignor Michael Manning,
former moderator of the Atlanta
Archdiocesan Council, on the occasion of
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
archdiocese.
At the Saturday evening banquet, the
traditional close of the weekend’s
activities, a “Walk Through Twenty-Five
Years” was staged for a delighted
audience. Outgoing president Joy Russ
was honored and the 1981-1982 officers,
led by president Marie Doyle, were
installed.
Scientists Favor 4 Big Bang’
Theory At Vatican Meeting
BY NANCY FRAZIER
VATICAN CITY (NC) - The “big bang”
theory of the origin of the universe was a
popular topic when 30 scientists from seven
countries held a week-long study session on
cosmology sponsored by the Vatican.
According to Jesuit Father George V.
Coyne, director of the Vatican Observatory,
participants in the study week heard further
evidence supporting the “big bang” theory
and reached unanimous agreement that it is
“the most accepted theory on how the
universe began.”
But many questions remain, he said.
The meeting, arranged by the Pontifical
Academy of Sciences, brought together
scholars from China, India, the United
States, Great Britain, Italy, France and West
Germany.
The “big bang” theory, developed by a
Belgian scientist, Father Georges Lemaitre, a
former president of the pontifical academy,
says that the universe was formed in an
explosive nuclear reaction within a dense,
hot globule of gas expanding rapidly
outward.
“But the big bang did not take place in a
given place. It happened everywhere,” said
Father Coyne. “Some people think that
because on earth everything is expanding
away from us, this must be where the
‘center’ of the big bang was. But everything
in the universe is expanding from
everywhere else too.”
Father Coyne, a 48-year-old native of
Baltimore, said that cosmologists can see
only 10 percent of the universe, while 90
percent is part of the so-called “dark mass.”
“You could say, in a certain sense, that
human society is blind to 90 percent of the
universe, but that blindness does not stop
our curiosity,” he said.
One participant in the Vatican-sponsored
study week calculated that the number of
possibilities about the actual state of the
“dark mass” is 10 to the 80th power, or 10
followed by 80 zeros, Father Coyne said.
Discussions at the meeting centered on
the five most likely theories on the “dark
mass,” and participants concluded that
further study is necessary.
The recent evidence by four American
astronomers that space contains a huge,
mysterious “gap” was “a hotly debated
issue” at the study sessions, Father Coyne
said, but participants agreed that the
findings do not challenge the “big bang”
theory significantly.
Although some scientists interpret the
new findings as evidence that the universe
could collapse, “there was fairly good
unanimity at the meeting that the universe is
expanding at such a rate that it will continue
to expand, that there is not enough material
to draw it back in,” Father Coyne added.
Pope John Paul II addressed the issue of
the origin of the universe when he met with
members of the Pontifical Academy of
Sciences and other scientists Oct. 3 in
Castelgandolfo, Italy.
“Any scientific hypothesis on the origin
of the world, such as the hypothesis of a
primitive atom from which derived the
whole of the physical universe, leaves open
the problem concerning the universe’s
beginning,” the pope said. “Science cannot
of itself solve this question.”
Father Coyne previously did research
work at the University of Arizona’s
observatory.
Named to direct the Vatican Observatory
in September 1978 by Pope John Paul I, he
heads a staff of six astronomers, an engineer
and a mathematician specializing in
computer science.
Father Coyne, an ex-officio member of
the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, said the
academy sponsors study weeks each year,
devoting a session each eight to 10 years to
cosmology.
“Each time, we define our ignorance
better,” he said. “We know better what we
don’t know.”
YOUTH FOOTBALL
“Violence Under Guise Of Fun And Games”
RICHMOND, Va. (NC)
- Bishop Walter F. Sullivan
of Richmond called for an
end to Catholic-sponsored
grade and high school
football in his diocese Oct.
5 after an eighth-grader on
a parish team died in a
game.
Calling football
“violence under the guise
of fun and games,” the
bishop said it is too
dangerous for adolescents
and that it fosters
unhealthy attitudes as well.
“Can elementary and
high school football be
called a sport? Each year
over 50,000 youngsters
suffer injuries,” the bishop
wrote in his weekly column
in the Oct. 5 issue of the
Richmond diocesan
newspaper, The Catholic
Virginian.
“Can football promote
respect life attitudes when
violence is at the heart of
the contest?” he added.
“The constant threat of
serious injury and even
death far outweighs any

pressure from parents and

people skirt the intent of
the prohibition by forming
athletic associations which
are outside the realm and
supervision of both school
and parish,” he said.
He cited a 1980 warning
from the American
Academy of Pediatrics
against the dangers of
injury to young people in
vigorous contact sports and
said that “injuries are
inevitable because of the
nature of the sport” even if
all precautions are
exercised.
“I ask the full
cooperation of our pastors,
school principals and
parents in supporting my
position that football on a
grade school level, either
through the school, the
parish or an athletic
association, must be
outlawed,” Bishop Sullivan

Charles E. Mahon,
editor of The Catholic
Virginian, said that the
bishop’s column received
“surprisingly little”
reaction in the form of
letters or phone calls and
that that reaction was
mixed.
According to Mahon,
five of six diocesan high
schools and one private
Catholic high school in the
diocese have football
programs. He said he knew
of several parish-related
teams at the elementary
school level that
participated in little league
football but said Bishop
Sullivan was not aware of
their existence until
Robinson’s death.
