Bishops view U.S. as world’s guardian at meeting
WASHINGTON (API — In a < I.irion call
against isolationism, the nation's Catholic
bishops Wednesday declared the United
States the world's keeper in Somalia, the
Balkans and Central America
The bishops also called on the United
States to keep o ban on nuclear testing, stop
being the world's leading amis peddler and
to increase its humanitarian aid to countries
where it onc e fought proxy wars against
communism.
"Liberty and justice for all is not only a
profound national pledge, it is also a worthy
goal for a national leader." the bishops said
in a follow-up statement to their historic
peace pastoral of I'lH.t
Also at their annual fall meeting Wednes
day. the bishops approved a major policy
statement on the family that dec lores
Catholic husbands should submit to their
wives and should help with household
chores and parenting.
In language that draws from the nasi ent
men s movement, the bishops in partic ular
encourage Catholic: men to he caring spous
es who are willing to share tears along with
the laundry and changing diapers
"Marriage is a partnership of a man and
woman ecjual in dignity and value." the
bishops state in "Follow the Way of Love:
A Pastoral Message of the U S Catholic Bish
ops to Families."
A lies ade ago. the bishops' pastoral letter
"The Challenge of Peace" drew a firestorm
of protest from i ritics both inside the church
and in the Reagan administration for its calls
to reduce military spending and the nation's
nuc lear arsenal.
In their new statement, titled " The Harvest
of Justice is Sown in Peace." the bishops
said the c luilieiige for peac e today is no less
urgent in a world suffering from massive
starvation, regional wars and arms trading.
"After thee ( .old War. there has emerged an
‘Liberty and Justice for all
is not only a profound
national pledge; It is also a
worthy goal for a national
Catholic bishops
understandable but dangerous temptation to
turn inw i, to focus only on domestic
needs anu to ignore global responsibilities
This is not an option for believers in a uni
versal i hut h or for citizens in a powerful
nation,” t ..e bishops said.
Cardin i Roger Mahony of l.os Angeles
said the statement "is as relevant today in
1993 to th- new world order ns the 1083
din ument was then.
But Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Gumbleton
of Detroit < riticizod the statement for con
tinuing to rely on the just-war tradition
whit h stati s military force is valid to attain
goals such ns feeding starving children or
preventing the slaughter of whole popula
tions.
In reality. Gumbleton said, nearly three
quarters of people lulled in wars in the late
1980s wei innocent noncombatants.
The statement on marriage and family
addresses ide range of issues, with a cen
tral theme being the importance of friends,
family and the parish community in helping
married t t uples work through difficult
times
But some 'I the document's strongest lan
guage t oiik - m a section on “mutuality that
represents perhaps the prelates' most com
prehensive attempt to address relations
between th sexes.
Many i onservative Christians espouse a
hierarchical view of the family, referring to a
passage in the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians
that speaks of the husband as "the head of
the wife just as Christ is the head of the
i him h."
Hut the bishops instead hold up the apos
tle's statement in his Letter to the Galatians
that "there is not male and female" in the
new creation" made possible in Christ.
In particular, the bishops encourage men
to be nurturing parents and sensitive spous
es The prelates recognize that "sharing feel
ings and a willingness to be vulnerable can
be difficult, particularly for those of us
raised in the strong and silent' tradition
The issue of sexual equality has been a dif
ficult one for the bishops, who have come
under intense criticism from groups favoring
the ordination of women. Disagreement over
that issue caused them last year to abandon
a pastoral letter on women after nine years of
work.
Several bishops said the document would
find a place not only in Catholic homes, but
would be received well by the larger faith
community.
"I believe that we, at this moment, have an
awful lot to offer all Americans to encourage
them to strengthen their families," said Bish
op John J. Nevins of Venice, Fla.
In other business Wednesday, the Nation
al Conference of Catholic Bishops voted to
try and make it easier to dismiss from the
priesthood clerics guilty of sexually abusing
minors.
The bishops voted to ask the Vatican to lift
the church's five year statute of limitations
on dismissals, to raise the age when abuse
victims are considered minors from 15 to 17
and to speed up the judicial process by
requiring initial appeals to be filed with
regional tribunals in the United States rather
than Koine.

"I am advised that your officers

wrote Fields wrote that no nude
photos of the youths exist.
The letter was filed with other
court documents in the civil law

who said Jackson sexually
molested him. A hearing in that
case was planned for Tuesday
Jackson has not lieen charged
with wrongdoing, and police

Ruling gives schools
authority off campus
WKNATOHEh, Wash. (AP)
- Sc hoot officials have author
ity over students off c ampus
when they reasonably believe
rules are being broken, o court
commissioner ruled.
The ruling Tuesday by
Chelan County Juvenile Court
Commissioner Pete Young
means marijuana seized from
a Wenatchee High School stu
dent caught smoking the drug
just off the school grounds
can be used as evidence in
her trial next month. She is
charged with misdemeanor
possession of marijuana.
"I believe school authori
ties have certain rights off
school grounds, ns long as
they ore conducted in a man
ner that is reasonably related
to the efficient operation and
the maintenance of discipline
of the school," Young said.
"Otherwise, you'd have a
football team drive off in a
bus and no longer be under
school authority."
The 15-year-old girl's attor
ney. Tomas Caballero, argued
that a teacher had no right to
send her to the principal's
office because she was not on
school property when the
teacher allegedly smelled
marijuana smoke,
Caballero contended the
marijuana and pipe found in
the girl's purse in the princi
pal's office was improperly
seized and should not bo
allowed as evidence in her
trial.
But Young found that
search standards for teachers
are not as strict as those for
police officers.
Where police must estab
lish "probable cause" before
searching someone suspected
of criminal activity, school
officials need only have a
“reasonable belief,” Young
said.
Appeals court rulings have
established that the school
must act in a reasonable man
ner when seartiiing a student
and must be acting on specif
ic information, he said.
“The original attention-get
ter was the smell of marijua
na,” Young said. “Clearly,
this was a legitimate exercise
of investigation.”
