PERTH, Australia (AP) — Pope
John Paul II lashed out at abortion
as an “unspeakable crime” at his fi
nal Mass in Australia on Sunday and
reiterated the Roman Catholic
church’s opposition to contraception
and sterilization.
“As the family goes, so goes the
nation, and so goes the whole world
in which we live,” he told 60,000
people during a service in this city
on the Indian Ocean.
“Can the pope come to Australia
and fail to ask Australian couples
and families to reflect in their hearts
how well they are living their Chris
tian love?” the pope said.

He said Catholics should consider
whether government policies for de
fending family values are appropri
ate.
“In a world that is becoming ever
more sensitive to women’s rights,
what is to be said of the rights of
women who want to be or need to be
full-time wives and mothers?” the
pope said.
The pontiff was nearing the end
of a two-week tour of Asia and the
Pacific. After a stop in the Sey
chelles, he was to return to Rome to
day.
During his six days in Australia,
he stressed traditional church teach
ings, seeking to spell out what it
means to be a Catholic and appeal
ing to former Catholics to return to
the church.
John Paul, who last week cuddled
a koala in Brisbane, finally got to see
a kangaroo Sunday. He patted a
gray one in a group brought to him
in Adelaide before departing for
Perth.
The pope, wearing purple vest
ments, celebrated his final Mass at a
race track.
Many in the crowd wore bush hats
and blue souvenir baseball caps com
memorating the papal visit.
“The church’s well-known opposi
tion to contraception and steriliza
tion is not a position we arbitrarily
lake,” he said.
He emphasized the sanctity of hu
man life, saying this was why the Sec
ond Vatican Council “considers
abortion an unspeakable crime.”
It was the first time during his
Australian tour that he directly re
ferred to contraception and abor
tion.

Reagan calls press irresponsible
in handling of Iran controversy
NEW YORK (AP) — President
Reagan in an interview published
Sunday called Lt. Col. Oliver North,
who was fired last week, “a national
hero,” and said the press must “take
responsibility for what they have
done” in revealing arms sales to
Iran.
The president was quoted by
Time magazine as saying he had “a
bitter bile in my throat these days”
because of the controversy set off by
disclosure of the sales. Although the
outcome was disappointing, he said,
“I don’t see anything I would have
done differently.”
The president referred to critics
as “sharks, circling like they are now
with blood in the water” and specif
ically lambasted the news media.
“What is driving me up the wall is
that this wasn’t a failure until the
press got a tip from that rag in Bei
rut and began to play it up,” the
magazine quoted Reagan as saying.
“I told them that publicity could de
stroy this, that it could get people
killed. They then went right on.”
The U.S. connection to Iranian
arms sales first was revealed by Al-
Shiraa, a pro-Syrian Lebanese mag
azine, on Nov. 4, Election Day in the
United States. Reagan said he did
not know that profits from the arms
sales were being channeled to rebels
fighting Nicaragua’s Sandinista gov
ernment until Attorney General Ed
win Meese began an investigation.
Poindexter, Reagan said, followed
Navy tradition by taking responsibil
ity “even if you are asleep in your
bunk when your ship runs ag
round.”
“Lt. Col. North was involved in all
our operations: the Achille Lauro,
Libya,” Reagan said. “He has a fine
record. He is a national hero. My
only criticism is that I was not told
everything.”
Reagan said Meese briefed him
last Monday, and he decided to re
lease the results of the probe imme
diately. National Security Adviser
John Poindexter resigned on Tues
day and North, a Marine officer who
worked for Poindexter, was fired.
Reagan said Meese’s investigation
is proceeding.
The president said the Iranians
approached the United States, say
ing they were trying to “do some
thing” about terrorism. “We said
that if they were really sincere, then
they could show us by getting the
hostages released,” Reagan said.
“We got three people (hostages)
back,” he said. “We were expecting
any day to get two others. The press
has to take the xesponsibility for
what they have done.”
