N 'balance of terror'
A VATICAN ARNING
Archbishop Goody ordained Father Samuel Bruce Jones at St Mary's last Thursday night. Father Jones entered the priesthood at 41 starting a four-year course at St Paul's Seminary in South Australia. St Paul's is the only mature-age entry seminary in the Southern Hemisphere. Father Jones said that he had had the calling since he was seven. "At 23, I wanted to join the Cistercians in Victoria butIjust didn't get in because of family reasons,” he said. "Looking back in retrospect it was the hand of God saying 'not yet'. "The amount of experience I have had in lifeIfeel I can bring into the priesthood. Prior to joining the priesthood, Father Jones was a teacher and his hobby was breeding and racing horses. At the ordination, a large section of the racing fraternity was present, including jockeys, trainers and bookmakers. All Father Jones' horses had religious names like Lourdes Pilgrim (9 wins) and Ingoda Star (In God A Star). Father Jones has also studied singing and opera and appeared in Gilbert and Sullivan musicals in Perth.
The nuclear arms "balance of terror" is fragile and the world remains "at the mercy of error in judgment, information and interpretation" the vatican has warned.

The first step in disarmament should be the firm renunciation of veritical proliferation — increased and improved arms production — by countries already having nuclear weapons, he said. Mr Backis also spoke of the danger of horizontal proliferation — the spread of nuclear weapons to new countries — a process facilitated by scientific and technological advances, which make it more difficult to maintain a distinction between the use of nuclear power for peaceful or for military purposes. Improved controls in the transfer of nuclear technology and in the treatment, sale and transport of nuclear

This is the belief of top Irish liturgy specialist Father Sean Swayne. He says that the reason for this lack of understanding is that neither priests nor plc have been sufficiently instructed in the new liturgy and he rates this omission as a major failure. Catholics should now concern themselves with the spirit behind the letter of the law an
pray for the success of the new liturgy. The laity is involved in the procession of the gifts at Mass and reverence for the gifts should register in the manner in which they are carried, but too often the procession of the gifts degenerates into a functional exercise.
There are some excellent lay readers at Mass, Father Swayne says, but he wonders if the people get the message of God for which the readers are the mouthpiece. • (Full story, Page 16)
