"Unto Us A Child Is Born"

town in Indiana, a priceless
treasure radiates the miracle
of Christ's birth," is the open-
ing description of the win-
dow in a publicity brochure.
The window, the church and

Women of hope," she said.
Benedictine Sister Mary
Collins urged U.S. nuns to
keep attending Mass despite
What she called "nee-cleri-
cal" use of the Eucharisl "as a
Symbol of male power."
"The Roman Catholic eu-
charistic heritage is a rich,
dense source of meaning and
power for women," she said.
"To insist upon construing
Eucharist solely as a symbol
of male power is to squander
a known source of spiritual
Vitality in the Catholic com-
munity," she said.
Speaking on the relation-
hip of women to the institu-
ional church, she said
WOmen religious "are already
responding creatively and
COnstructively within a reli-
gious institution that has
minimized and even negated
the signif!cance of its women
I ae tubers.
The crux of the problem for
WOmen religious, she said,
Centers on the way the Eu-
charist is celebrated today.
The Eucharist, "the central
Symbol of Catholic Christiani-
ty," has become "the central
symbol also of clerical power
and the dominant symbol for
the self-understanding of
WOmen religious."
She said there is "abundant
anecdotal evidence" that
.WOmen religious face increas-
19g conflict over the Eu-
€ h fist.

The Message -- for Catholics of Southwestern Indiana
German Catholics a very long
time ago." Kline contined,
"And when I stepped inside
the church, I felt like I was in
Cologne or Vienna ....
"Just as my wife Jean and I
entered the church, the sun
was shining through a stained
glass window behind us. We
looked up to see the most
powerful portrayal of the Na-
tivity I have ever seen,"
Falher John Davidson, pas-
lor of the parish at the time
the window was selected, de-
scribed the plate as "a glori-
ous in|erpretation of that mo-
ment when Christ and
Christianity came into the
world."
Krempp and his wife Jane
brought one of the collector's
plates to the Catholic Center,
Wednesday, Aug. 28. The
plate is a gift to Bishop Ger-
ald A. Gettelfinger.
