Bishops argue birth control at synod
VATICAN CITY(UIP)—An Italian cardinal yesterday criticized a proposal by an American archbishop that the Roman Catholic Church review and update its ban on artificial birth control, introducing an element of heated debate into the Fifth World Bishops Synod.
Cardinal Pericle Felicia, a member of the Roman curia, said there was no need for new study of "Humans needs Pope John Paul II to ban the use of contraceptives.
"There is no need to reusecus it," he said. "There is no need to give credence
to statistics because statistics don't mean anything."
Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco, president of the American Bishops Conference, had called for a ban on abortions because of depriving birth control and sexuality.
Quinn said that the crisis of faith caused by birth control was immense.
In the United States alone, nearly 80 percent of Catholic women use contraceptives, he said. Only 29 percent of American priests were reported to believe that contraception was intrinsically immoral and only 26 percent
of priests would deny absolution to those who practiced it.
"Approaches found in the manuals and in pre-Vatican II authors are not adequate for the present situation," Quinn said.
"New approaches must be found which are compatible with fidelity to truth and with the changed situation of the modern world."
The most forceful criticism came from British Cardinal George Basil Hume, who accused the Catholic Church's total ban on e-mailial birth control.
Carlin. senators mull waste dumps
TOPEKA (UPI)-Gov. John Carlin met with two state senates yesterday to discuss the possibility of using his executive powers to combat the toxic waste problem posed by unauthorized dumps in Kansas City, Kan.
Carlin teams to inspect one of seven unauthorized industrial waste dumps in Kansas City, Kan. today.
The state senators, Jack Steineger, D-Kansas City, Kan., and Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, discussed the possibility of Carlin issuing an executive order that would temporarily prohibit the State Department of Health and Environment from issuing any new dumping licenses. This would free
additional state personnel to intensify the inspections of dump sites.
THE SENATORS also suggested that Carlin immediately appoint a non-political committee of technicians, engineers or university teachers to solve the problems to review the state's hazardous and industrial waste dumping laws and procedures.
Their recommendations could be used in formulating legislation for consideration in the next legislative session.
Towns, Carlin, area legislators and Kansas City, Kan. Mayor Jack Reardon
will visit a dump discovered at 14th and State streets, near the city's downtown
CITY AUTHORITIES recently found seven dump sites containing possibly lethal metal dust. The dump sites were licensed for industrial waste material.
The potentially hazardous materials had been discovered after a few residents complained of health problems.
Steineger said he already had requested a bill that would further restrict illegal dumping of hazardous or industrial wastes. Steineger's bill would make it a felony to illegally dump toxic wastes.
"These Catholics," said Hume, cannot accept the total prohibition of the use of artificial means of contraception, where circumstances seem to make this necessary, or even desirable.
"It cannot just be said that these persons have failed to overcome their human frailty and weakness. The problem is more complex than that.
"Such persons are often good, conscientious and faithful sons and daughters of the Church."
The comments by the archbishop of Westminster were the latest in a series of comments by synod bishops that carefully criticized the Catholic Church's implementation of Pope Paul VI's encyclical "Humanae Vitae," which banned all forms of artificial birth control.
Two American bishops said Monday that the church had to modernize its methods of teaching doctrines on birth control and other sexual matters, further disregard by church members.
Archbishop Joseph Berhardin, of Cincinnati told the synod, "A new, more positive theology of sexuality is necessary to help people understand and accept the teachings of the Church."
Bernardin's suggestions for a new outlook toward human sexuality called for the Catholic Church to further open discussion on the topic, considered for many years unmentionable by some Catholic priests and nuns.
