BONN,Sept.29.-InKonrad Adenauer,theGermanpeople havechosenoneofthemostdistniguishedCatholicsoftheir countrytobeatthehelmofthe newWesternState.Alawyer byprofession,Dr.Adenauerhas playedavitalpartinpubliclife forthepast30years.Now74 yearsold,heisasvigorousas manyayoungerman.Since 1917,andforanuninterrupted periodof16years,hehasbeen MayorofCologne,oftencalled the"GermanRome,"thegreat metropolisof spectaculartheRhine,whose riseinthe'twentieswasdueprimarilytohis initiativeandability.Foralmostthesamelengthoftime,he presidedoverthepre-Nazi CouncilofStateofPrussiaand hadconsiderableinfluencein nationalaffairsasoneofthe mostprominentmembersofthe nowdefunctCatholicCentre Party.

WhentheNaziscameto powerin1g33,itwasaforegone conclusionthatDr.Adenauer wouldbepersonanongrata.He hadbeentoooutspokenagainst them,andhewasnotamanto compromisehisCatholicconvictions.Thenewrulersdeposed himfromofficeandevenbanned himfromhisnativeCologne.

"Iquestionedbothworkers anddirectors,"hesays,"about theindustrialorganisations knownasSyndicates.There arenotradesunionsinSpain similartotheBritishtype.

"ThroughoutmyvisitIalwaysaskedtheworkersandthe employersseparatelyfortheir viewsoftheSyndicates,and everywherefoundtheworkers moreenthusiasticthantheemployers.

"ThebesttributeIgotfrom anemployerwasthatbefore Francotherewasalwaysstrife andhunger,butnowtherewas peaceandbread...."

Inreplytothestatementthat youhadbeentaughtatschool thattherewerethreeSacraments, namely, Baptism, ConfirmationandtheLord's Supper,Irepliedbyquotingthe wordsoftheXXVArticleof theXXXIXArticlesfromthe BookofCommonPrayer.This showedthat'intheProtestant Churchtherearebuttwosacrar ments,namely,Baptismandthe Lord'sSupper. Sincetheministersofthe ChurchofEnglandhavenot validordersandcannotchange breadandwineintotheBody andBloodoftheLord,youare reducedtoonesacrament.The onlyreasonwhyyourministerscanadministertheSacramentofBaptismisbecauseanyone,priest,minister,orlayman, hasthepowertogivebaptism. Thislogicallyreducesyourministerstothestatusoflaymen. TheSacramentsofConfirmation, Penance,Orders,Matrimony, and'ExtremeUnction,theBook ofCommonPrayertellsus,were notinstitutedbyChrist.Yet hereinAustraliaandelsewhere Confirmationisadministeredby AnglicanBishopswithgreatsolemnity,andputonaparity withBaptism.TheBookof CommonPrayersays.thatitis nottobecountedforaSacrament,becauseithasgrown partlyfromthecorruptfollowingoftheApostles.Thoughwe knowthatsevensacraments wereinuseeveninthelifetimeoftheApostles,agroupof rebelsagainstlawfullyconstitutedauthoritywithoutany rightorjustcause,decidedthat therewereonlytwoSacraments afterall.Whomdoyouthink wereinthebetterpositionto judge,theimmediatesuccessors oftheApostlesorthosewho came1600yearsafterthem?

ANCENT UNANIMITY.

"IgatherthatinyourChurch therearesevenSacraments."

A.:TheCatholicChurchdefinesthattherearesevenSacramentsoftheNewLaw.Before theReformationitwasuniversallymaintainedbyboththe EastandtheWest,thatthere weresevenSacraments.Peter Lombardmentionsthemallby name,andnoonehadeven questionedthe:factseriously. TheGreeksNvlodiscussedevery possiblepointofdifferencewith theLatinsattheCouncilof LyonsandthatofFlorence, neverdoubtedbutthatthere weresevenSacraments.When theGermanReformersapplied toJeremias,thePatriarchof Constantinople,forrecognition intheEast,theywerepromptly informedbyhimthatherepudiatedentirelytheirnewteaching whichheexpresslymentioned: thedoctrineofthetwosacraments.Muchhasbeenmade ofthefactthattheFathersof theChurchneverexpresslymentionthenumber,butthat neednotcauseanyworry,fortheywerenotinthehabitof writingasystematisedtheology. TheagreementbetweentheEast andtheWestonthispointis sufficientproofthatthisdoc- trinewasheldforatleasta thousandyearsbeforetheCoun-

"WhendidthesevenSacramentsoriginate?"

A.:WhenChristwasonearth. WebelievethatGodaloneisthe authorofGrace,andthatonly byHisspecialappointment couldmaterialritesbemadethe channelsofHisgracetomen.

FromtheverybeginningChristianshavehadsevensacraments;theyreceivedthemfrom theApostles,whohadreceived themfromChristOurLord.At thetimeoftheReformation Protestantsweredeprivedofall butoneofthesesacraments.
