SinAndPsychiatryMgr.Sheen

"IthankThee,0Lord,thatmyFreudianadviserhastold methereisnosuchthingasguilt,thatsinisamyth,andthat Thou,0Father,artonlyaprojectionofmyfathercomplex Oh,IthankTheethatIamnotliketherestof men,thosenastypeople,suchastheChristianthereinthe backofthetemple,whothinksthatheisasinner,thathis soulstandsinneedofgrace. ImayhaveanOedipus complex,butIhavenosin.-

ThusMonsignorFultonJ.SheenparaphrasestheparableofthePharisee(Luke,18;10-14),todramatisethe mainpointofhisnewbook,publishedrecently,"Peaceof Soul."

PersuasiveFultonSheenwould liketointroducemodernman toGodbywayofSt.Thomas Aquinas'famedfiveproofsfrom reasonofGod'sexistence,but hefeelsthatmanyaharassed, scatterbrainedmodernmanmay be"tooconfusedtograspthem."

SoMsgr.Sheenbeginshisbook wherethereadersofself-improvementvolumesseemtofeel mostathome:therealmofpsychology."Ifthemodernsoul," hewrites,"wantstobeginits questforpeacewithitspsychologyinsteadofwithourown metaphysics,wewillbeginwith psychology. Ifthemodern manwantstogotoGodfrom theDevil,why,then,wewill evenstartwiththeDevil."

COUCHORBOX'

Msgr.Sheendoesnotdenounceallpsychiatry,oreven allFreudiantechniques.He concedesthatmedicalscience,in dealingwithmentalproblems thathavenoethicalormoral causes,"hasavastareainwhich itcanlegitimatelyoperate."He objectstoFreudiandoctrines chieflywhentheyenterthe

realmofphilosophywithsuch assertionsas"manisananimal andhasnofreewill,orthat'religiousdoctrinesareillusions.', ButthemajorpointatissuebetweenMonsignorSheenand muchofmodernpsychiatryis thesubjectofguilt.Thedenial ofpersonalsin,heholds,has donemoretokeepmanfrom God,andtodisintegratesociety, thananyothersinglefactor. Psychiatristsareenemiesof man,Sheensays,wheneverthey viewthesenseofguiltasanundesirablesymptomandtryto getridofitbyconvincingthe patienteither(1)thathewas notresponsibleforhissinfulactions,or(2)thatsuchactions arereallyhealthyandnormal.

Byman'ssenseofguilt,Sheen says,theRomanCatholic ChurchcanleadhimtoGodandpenance."Therearemany soulsstretchedoutonpsychoanalyticcouchesto-daywho wouldbefarbetteroffifthey broughttheirconsciencestoa confessionalbox. Thevery passivity issymbolicofthe patient'sirresponsibility,which thewholetheoryofFreudas-

sumes.Itisinstrikingcontrasttothemanwhosays,not 'OhwhatafoolIhavebeen,'but 'Godbemercifultome,asinner.'"

DOMINIONOFSATAN.

Muchofthepsychiatry,Sheen argues,onlygivesmanafalse sensethatalliswellwithhim, wheninrealitythingscouldnot beworse.Thepsychiatrist's patientmayindeedgainpeace ofmind,buttheChristiangets somethingfarbetter-peaceof soul."Thereisaworldofdifferencebetween(them).Peace ofmindistheresultofbringingsomeorderingprincipleto bearondiscordanthuman experiences;thismaybeachievedbytolerance,orbya grittingofone'steethintheface ofpain;bykillingconscience,or denyingguilt,orbyfindingnew lovestoassuageoldgriefs.Each oftheseisanintegration,but onaverylowlevel.Thiskind ofpeaceOurLordcallsfalse,andhelikensittolivingunder thedominionofSatan..."

Butpeaceofsoulis"bornof thetranquillityoforder,whereinthesensesaresubjecttothe reason,thereasontofaith,and thewholepersonalitytothe WillofGod.Thetruepeace isdeepened,notdisturbed, bythecrosses,checksanddisquietudesoftheworld,forthey arewelcomedascomingfrom thehandsoftheLovingFather.
