Show Catholic Bishops The Salt Lake Tribune, Wednesday, Octobers, Associated Press Writer VATICAN CITY Roman Catholic bishops discussing family issues here are sharply divided over the need for a reappraisal of the churchs stand on birth control, posing a potential dilemma for Pope John Paul II. A number of cardinals and bishops from Western and Third World countries have asked Pope John Pauls first synod to examine the problem of the Catholics who do not accept the church ban on contraception. In most cases, the bishops made it clear that they are not pressing for any specific change in the church doctrine and that they accept Pope Paul VIa 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae" which reiterated the churchs opposition to all forms of birth control except the rhythm method of sexual abstinence. are pressing for greater pastoral concern" and a more symBut they pathetic approach by the church to couples using banned birth control methods. As one Vatican analyst put it, the bishops want the church to consider the use of contraceptives as a minor, pardonable offense and not a major crime. Opposition by Italians Archbishop John R. Quinn, calling for a completely honest examination of the issue, cited published studies showing 76.5 percent of American Catholic women are using birth control and that only 29 percent of Catholic priests in the United States believe contraception is immoral. The prelates pressing for a reappraisal, described by Pakistani Cardinal "Its going to be a hard one for the pope because Quinn and his supporters are taking a cue from Pope Paul himself who had spoken of the need to Factory Owner Shares Wealth ZURICH CUPD Electronic instrument factory owner Erhard Mettler said a $31.2 million thank you to his 2,200 employees when he sold his company.

Coroner Robert Wilson said the death of Bonham, whose body was found Sept. 25 in the $2 million Windsor home of the group's lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, was an accident. Page, who for unexplained reasons was too weak to stand in the witness box during the inquest, testified that Bonham was already tipsy when he arrived at the estte for rehearsals for an American tour that was to start Oct. 16. 40 Shots of Vodka that Bonham had consumed 40 shots more than a quart of vodka during a Wilson found AuoclatM Pru Laaerphoto Upstairs Parking AMSTERDAM No, its not a Dutch innovation to solve parking problem in one of the worlds most densely populated lands, but a work of art by Theo Van Laar on blank wall facing playground.

Supporting a review are the bishops from the United States, Britain, Canada, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Bangladesh and other Asian countries. Latin American bishops are reportedly split on the issue. The bishops, who broke into 12 individual groups for more detailed discussion, will be voting on all major issues of contention in the final phase of the synod.

The inquest was told that Bonham was so drunk before his death that he had to be carried to a bedroom at the estate, overlooking Queen Elizabeths castle, some 20 miles west of London.

The black magic theme became popular among the groups fans, both because of Pages fascination with the occult and because of a string of tragedies haunting the group.

Taking his turn after Quinn spoke, Italian Cardinal Pericle Felici, prefect of the Vaticans Supreme Tribunal, told There is no need of the bishops: rediscussing it, no need to pay attention to statistics because statistics dont signify anything. The encyclical is closed. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Munich, West Germany, summing up discussions during the first 11 days of the month-lon- g synod, said two general tendencies have emerged from the meeting: Difficulty Faces Pope Hiere are fathers who have insisted that the usual formulas not be repeated, as if the doctrine had been made for once and for all." The other group of bishops believed that the church must not be overwhelmed by current opinions, as if it were a sociological doctrine, but must prophetically preach the medicine of the Gospel to the ills of the world. The sharp division poses a difficult choice for the Polish-bopontiff who has criticized contraception, but has not addressed himself to the need of finding pastoral guidelines for dealing with Catholics who ignore the church ban, said a Vatican-base- d prelate who asked that his name not be used.
