Reader says women priests
like ‘female bridegrooms’

Dear Editor:

Please allow me to correct the
false statement, ‘‘Today, women
cannot be ordained in the Roman
Catholic Church because, accord-
ing to the Pope, they are not
created in the image of Jesus
Christ,” which appears in the
column Spiritually Speaking in the
May 13 News.

The constant teaching of the
Catholic Church has been that all
human beings are created in the
image and likeness of God, in ac-
cordance with scriptural reveia-
tion. (Gen, 1:27)

In Pope John Paul II’s letter
On the Dignity and Vocation of
Women, he states, ‘‘In calling on-
ly men as his apostles, Christ
acted in a completely free and
sovereign manner.

**In doing so, he exercised the
same freedom with which, in all
his behavior, he emphasized the
dignity and the vocation of
women, without conforming to
the prevailing customs and to the
traditions sanctioned by the legis-
lation of the time.

**Consequently, the assumption
that he called men to be apostles
in order to conform with the
widespread mentality of his times,
does not at all correspond to
Christ's way of acting.”

Therefore, the most compelling
reason for the male priesthood is
the fact that Christ called only
men to be the first priests.

We must also remember that
the priest is the symbol of Christ,
who offers himself on the altar at

Dear Editor:

Forty-five years have passed, oh
so quickly. | remember the sirens
going off, the nine o’clock gun,
the fireworks and all the horns in
the inlet.

No more blackouts!

Yes, at Jast it was VE day and I
knew my husband would be com-
ing home. I not only cried tears of
joy but tears of sorrow for those
who would not be coming home.

Our generation is gradually
dimizishing in number in the
aftermath of the First World War,
then the Great Depression and on
to the Second World War.

But we have left a legacy for
our children by trying to make a
better world for them.

All we ask is they have a little
patience with us, be it in a
crosswalk or in the slow lane traf-
fic.

We have earned the right to en-
joy the years we have left. We are
survivors.

WEIGHT WITH
HYPNOSIS

“Losing weight should be en-
joyable if the individual is go-
ing to keep it off? says Daniel
Rutley, a counsellor and clinical
hypnotherapist in North Van-
couver. “Diets don't work? he
explains, “because they are
awkward, frequently time con-
suming and unnatural”

Most people won't stay on a
diet for an extended time. Then
the weight returns. Rutley
works with each person in-
dividually and shows them how
to lose weight which is unique
to them and their lifestyles.
