South Korean censorship is nothing new to LMU freshman student David

says, however, that despite close government supervision of his family’s
activities, the Park regime is doing an adequate job meeting the needs
of the citizens.

Sinnott raps U.S. support
of South Korean government
by Greg Clinton
So far, President Carter is only
“putting his big toe in the water’*
in his attacks on human rights
violations in South Korea, said
Rev. James Sinnott, a Maryknoll
missionary who spent 15 years in
South Korea.
Sinnott, ousted from South Ko¬
rea for protesting the government
of President Park Chung
Нее/
criticized the United States support
of Park before a group of about 25
LMU students and faculty last
Thursday at the Student Develop¬
ment Center. ..
“He is fully, completely and
totally supported by the United
States government, intravenous¬
ly,’’ said Sinnott.
Sinnott has been arrested three
times since coming back to the
United States . The charges ranged
from “unlawful entry’’ to “dis¬
orderly conduct’’ which .allegedly
took place at the Korean embassy
in Washington, D.C..
In one incident, Sinnott went to
the embassy to invoke a prayer for
a Korean man who was pushed off
a mountain for protesting the Park
regime. Before Sinnott had said a
word, he claims, the ‘ I diplomatic
police’’ had him stretch out on the
lawn outside the embassy. They
searched him, arrested him, and
sent him to jail for unlawful
entry.
Sinnott was arrested another*
time for what he claims was only
sitting on the lawn outside the
embassy “reading the Bible!’ The
charge was M disorderly conduct!’
Sinnott attacked Secretary of
State Cyrus R. Vance for saying
that the U.S. would not reduce aid
to South Korea or the Phillipines
because of “security reasons!’
“He didn’t have to say that,’’
Sinnott retorted. “By saying it he
gives a green light to Park and
[Phillipine President] Marcos to
" continue repression. .Why didn’t he
just shut hjs mouth or else say,
‘OK, we’ll stop it in Uruguay.’?”
Sinnott refuted the claim that the
North Koreans are a serious threat
to South Korea.
“It’s admitted in Washington by
defectors from the State Depart¬
ment that our presence there is not
a strategic presence. We’re there

Church views on sex explored
at Jesuit panel discussion
“I think the worst problem today
with regards to sexuality is the
incredible trivialization of sexuality
in our culture,” said Rev. Thomas
P. Rausch, SJ, assistant professor
of Religious Studies while speaking
to a group of oyer .100 students and
faculty. The remarks were part of a
“Church and Sexuality” discussion
held last Thursday, sponsored by
the Student Development Center.
The other Jesuits who presided
over the discussion were Rev.
Herbert J. Ryan, associate profes¬
sor of Religious Studies, and Rev.
Milton Gonsalves, a Jesuit
superior.
Rausch said that the Catholic
Church has often been guilty of
Puritanism. He alluded to ancient
and not-so- ancient customs requir¬
ing a three-day abstention from
intercourse to receive communion,
or forbidding people from watching
animals mate, or setting a three
second time limit on kissing.
He went on to say, however, that
the Catholic Church is basically
correct in its teachings on sexu¬
ality. He also refuted the claim that
the Catholic Church is anti-sex.
Ryan discussed the question of
what it means to be human in a
"Christian context. He said that
Christians are called to be lovers.
“It’s not a big do’s and don’t’s
game,” he said, “It’s an adventure
and a pilgrimage in the personal
love of God.”
Gonsalves discussed the purpose
of sexual relations. He said that the
intention of procreation and the
expression of love are both es¬
sential in sexual relations.
IJe also discussed the Church’s
view toward homosexuals. He rea¬
soned that because homosexual
acts are -not “life-giving” they are
considered immoral by the Church.
Gonsalves indicated, however,
that the Church’s teaching on
homosexuality “leaves room for
further investigation. I don’t think
that the door is completely closed,
if not closed tight and locked, never
to be open again.”
“There doesn’t seem, on the
other hand, to be any approbation
forthcoming from Rome for persons
who are exclusively homosexual, ”
Gonsalves added.
In the discusssion following the
presentations, one student asked
how the Catholic Church could
reconcile its teachings to the pre¬
sent “norm of society.”
Ryan responded by saying
Christian witness should not be
“reduced to the ratification of
whatever secular value happens, at
the moment, to be popular.”
There were also questions" re¬
garding the legitimacy of contra¬
ception. The Jesuit panel respond¬
ed by saying that contraception
absolutely excludes the possibility
of procreation and is therefore
immoral. Natural rhythm methods,
like the Billings method, are ac¬
ceptable for Catholics because they
do not absolutely exclude the
possibility of pregnancy.
