Friday a judge said they're rule-breakers for praying so loudly in church that they drown out the choir. Westmoreland County Judge Bernard Scherer sided with Holy Cross Church, which, tired of two of disruptive behavior, sued the women for years splashing holy water and refusing to pray quietly. Cecelia Miscovich, the only defendant to appear in court, agreed Thursday to change her ways. The judge said Cynthia Balconi and Joan Sudwoj (pronounced S0O-wodge) can return only if the parish priest, the Rev. Angelo Ciuffoletti, agrees.
"If they come in and agree to abide by our rules and regulations, we'd probably let them in," said Vincent Morocco, the Greensburg Roman Catholic Diocese's lawyer. After the ruling, deputies fanned out to give the decision to Sudwoj and Balconi. "The judge has opened the door for the priest to ban them from the church, but that's never something we've tried to do," said James Falcon, the church's attorney. Scherer said Sudwoj and Balconi violated the church's property rights and broke rules established by the priest. The judge prohibited the women known in church newsletters as the "shouting ladies" and "rosary women" from vandalizing the church, disrupting services or distributing literature.
The trio's motivations remained unclear even to members and lawyers. No one answered at Sudwoj's house, and Balconi did not return a message left at Westmoreland County Community College in Greensburg, where she works as a computer operator. Miscovich had no comment. Morocco said women believe in a purported 1970 sighting of the Virgin Mary in New York City and last year passed out publications about it. In a lawsuit, the congregation of 800 families accused the women of splashing holy water around the church without Ciuffoletti's approval and shouting down the priest during services.
The lawsuit said the women ignored repeated requests from Ciuffoletti and Bishop Anthony Bosco to stop. Ciuffoletti wrote in the church bulletin: "It is characteristic of vulgar people to shout and make a noise. God hears hearts, not voices. He hears our thoughts." The congregation accused Sudwoj of instigating a shouting match with Ciuffoletti during one children's Mass. The priest said she railed at him about the morals of students at the nearby community college where she once worked and where Balconi still works.
Teachers said some children who saw the confrontation later cried, and some asked for definitions of words Sudwoj used "fornication, adultery and ho- Scottish voters desert Tories By The Associated Press GLASGOW, Scotland In an unprecedented shutout that bodes ill for Prime Minister John Major, Britain's governing Conservative Party failed to win control of a single town council in Scotland. The Conservatives couldn't even hold east Renfrewshire a district of suburban tranquility that boasts no less than nine golf courses according to results Friday. And next month, they have an even greater challenge local elections in England and Wales. Some observers think a big defeat there could provoke a challenge to Major's leadership. Gordon MacDonald, a Conservative politician in east Renfrewshire, blamed Thursday's election debacle on the unpopularity of Major's national government.
"I can't think of any other explanation for it," he said Friday. The left-of-center Labor Party captured 42 percent of the vote for local councils. The Scottish National Party captured 26 percent, while the humiliated Conservatives could only muster 11.2 percent. Major blamed party disunity for the loss. "People in this country expect the Conservative Party to be united," he said.
The Conservatives have been lagging far behind the revamped Labor Party in opinion polls with national elections looming within two years. The big issue gnawing at Major is Britain's place in the European Union. His party is torn between enthusiasts for Europe and British nationalists who resent the growth of European power. "He's got to lay down the law on this. We've got to get behind him, and if we don't, or if individuals don't, they should get out of the said Phil Gallie, a Conservative lawmaker from Scotland.

Sudwoj is one of three "rosary women" accused by the church of disrupting daily services by drowning out the choir with loud prayers and splashing holy water. mosexuality." John Terrick, the church council's president, said frustration drove church members to court. "I think it's the kind of matter that I hoped would work itself out, without such drastic action," he said. Earlier Friday, Sudwoj sat quietly through a children's Mass in the red brick, hillside church in Youngwood, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
She then began reciting the rosary during the last note of the service's last hymn. She kneeled alone in the last pew, bowed her head and spoke loudly enough that her words echoed throughout the building. "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee," she said, hitting a higher pitch on "thee." An hour later, she was still praying. Rwandans bury th thousands slain in '94 massacre By The Associated Press REBERO HILL, Rwanda They walked for miles up a long, dusty road, then stood silently under a blazing sun. They stood, too, in the downpour that followed, through speeches that lasted for more than seven hours.
It was time to bury the dead. The remains of thousands of people were reburied Friday at a memorial service held for the 500,000 or more Rwandans who died in the ethnic massacres that began last April 7 and continued for three months. Bodies were laid to rest, but Rwandans were left with their anger that, a year later, the killers remain unpunished. "We shall look for these people, whether inside the country or outside the country," said Vice President Paul Kagame, drawing applause. "They must be held accountable, there is no doubt about that." Kagame also said Rwandans "must be able to understand this sickness" that tore apart their country.
"I think it's up to us, all of us to make sure that nothing ever happens again like this." At least 10,000 survivors of the civil war attended the service atop Kigali's highest hill, Rebero. The gathering was as much a protest as a funeral. Mourners carried protest signs and banners, and wore T-shirts with slogans that showed their anger at the slaughter and the failure of both their government and the international community to punish those responsible. "To do nothing about the genocide diminishes all of us," said one sign. "Justice delayed is justice denied." "We need to bury the dead, not to bury the truth," said one T- shirt.

Their remains may have been among those of an estimated 6,000 bodies that were exhumed from makeshift, wartime graves and placed in 200 plain wooden coffins for reburial at a new cemetery on Rebero Hill. Purple cloths lay atop the coffins, and on them, green wreaths with lilies and sweetly scented bougainvillea woven in. One grave was designated to symbolize all those who died in the genocide.
Flags flew at half-staff Friday, and there was a moment of silence at the memorial. Need Extra Storage Space?
