TheTeachingChurch

TheRev.FatherFrankRatcliffe, S.J.,attheevening'sserviceatSt. FrancisXavier'sChurch,Liverpool, onthe2ndSundayinMay,preached thesecondofacourseofsermons on"Catholicism."

Thepreacherbasedhissermonon thetext"Andinthedaysofthose kingdomstheGodofHeavenwill setuPakingdomthatshallnever bedestroyed,andthiskingdomshall notbedelivereduptoanotherPeople,anditshallbreakinpieces,and shallconsumeallthesekingdoms, anditselfshallstandforever."(ProphecyofDavid,chap.ii,verge41).

PrivateinterpretationoftheBible saidFatherRatcliffeattheoutset, lednotonlyinabsurditiesofbelief,but,ashistoryshowed,italso ledtothemostabsurdbehaviouron thePartofmen.Aninquiringlook intohonesthistorywouldverifytae truthofthatassertion.Looking intothehistoryofLutherinGeemanytheHuguenotsinFrance,the HussitesinBulgaria,and"St.ThomasCranmer"inEnglandthey wouldfindastoryofhorror fit tomakethefleshcreepandtheflair standonend-theresultofprivate interpretationoftheScriptures.That wasahistoryofcrime,thedetailso4 whichhedarenotmentionfromthe pulpit,andallofwhichhadbeen committedwithatextofScripture onthelipsoftheperpetrators. UnderMartinLutherinGermany, anumberofevangelicalpreachersarosewhothoughttheycouldinterpret theBibleaswellasLuther.The\ preachedtothePeople,withtheresultthatthelatteraroseagainst theirmastersinwhomtheyprofessedtoseetheequivalentofthePhilistinesoftheScriptures.Thisdid notsuitLuther,atwhoseinstigation manythousandsofpeasantswere slainwithoveronehundredpreachers.MartinLuther,himself,writingofthissaid"It.wasIthat slaughteredthesepeasantsin the insurrection,foritwasIthatauthorisedtheirmassacre,butIthrow allresponsibilityontheLordGod,

foritwasHethatcommandedme toorderit."Thosehorribledeeds backedupbyblasphemy,saidthe preacher,weretheresultofprivate interpretation.Proceedingheque.*a. edcasestriedattheSynodofGeneva,inwhichmenwerepunishedby thetyrannical"Reformers,"forthe crimeofexercisingtheirprivatejudgmentininterpretingtheBible,inasmuchastheirjudgmentdidnot coincidewiththatofthezealots. Andso,inEngland,theyfoundThomasCranmer,whoinsisteduponemulatinghisroyalmaster,HenryVIII inpossessinganumberofwives,punishingcatholicsandnon-Catholics alikefordisagreeingwithhistenets. Continuing,FatherRatcliffe demonstratedthesadfallingofffrom Christianitywhichwasaresultcf thisgospelofconfusion.AprotestantCanon,speakingsomethirty yearsago,statedthatbarelyfivePer cent.oftheworkingclassesattended anyplaceofworship."Iwonder to-day,''saidFatherRatcliffe,"if twopercent,gotoanyChurchor placeofworship?"Thatwasthe directresultofuncertaintyandvagueness,andobtainedwhereanauthoritativeandteachingbodylike theChurchofGodwasnotaccepted. TheCatholicChurchfromthevery beginning,hadbeenateachingibody, whichneverhesitatedforamoment inpromulgatingGod'slaws,whether menlikeditorotherwise.Shewas theChurchthatadoptedthemost uncompromisingattitude,andmade themostdreadfulaffirmationsinregardtodogma,forshe,andshealone,wascoiiimandedtoteachall nationswhatsoevershehadbeen taught. TotheCatholicChurch wasmadethepromisethatGod Himselfwouldhewithheralldays eventotheendoftime.For1900 yearsshehadbeenthecustodianof truthasrevealedtoherby God Himself,andunlessthePromiseof Christbeaterribleblasphemyand hideousmockery,shemustberegardedasthebodywhichChristHimselffounded. Shewastheonly Churchthateverclaimedtobe a teachingbodyandtospeak with authority,andwithnouncertain voicesaid"Icannotmakeamistake,becauseGodiswithme."If theearlyChurchwassunkinidolatry,asthe"Reformers"said,what thenofthepromisetoHisChurch madebyChristthat.'thegatesof hellwouldnotprevailagainstit?" WeretheygoingtobelieveinCreamerorinJesusChrist?"

Concluding,thepreacherdwelton themarvellousunityoftheChurch, whichinitselfwasevidenceofher divinemissiontoteachallnations.

SomeThoughtsaboutthe Church(II.)

BYACATHOLIC.

Inmyfirstshortarticle,Icalled tomindthedivinecommissionand embassyentrustedtotheChurch, andIattemptedtoshowwhatshould hesaidofthestatementthatthe Churchfellintoerror-howthisimputationaffectedthepromises of ChristthatHewouldremain alwayswiththeChurchwhichHeappointedasatrueteacher,toteach allnations,andthattheHolyGhost wouldalsoabidewithherforever. Iattempted,too,toshowthedifficultieswhichencompasstheposition ofthosewhosupporttheProtestant Reformation,declaringthatitsend wastorestoretheancienttruthdestroyedbytheerrorsintowhichthe ChurchofGodhadfallen.

Inowwishtopointoutthatthe positionofsuchpersonscannotcommenditselftotheapprovalofthose whodescribethemselvesasBible ChristiansforIfailtofindinthe Bibleanywarrantfortheirviews, whicharethattheChurchshouldfall intoerror,andthatafterninecenturiesthereshouldbeaReformation andareturntotheGospeltruths.

Wecannotadmit,orpretend,that Christcameagainintotheworld, torectifytheerrorincommissioning adefectiveChurchtopreachthe Gospel,orthatHegaveanewCommissiontoanyotherChurch.Isay, therefore,thatthosewhoadmitno truthbutwhatisfoundintheBible couldnot,upontheirownprinciple, pretendeitherofthesethings,any morethanwecanforanysuchnew commissioncouldnotbeintheBible,thelastPageofwhichwas writtenabouteighteenhundredyears ago.Yet,ifthesupposedwreckof theoriginalChurchhasbeenrectified inorderthattheremayyetbe a trueChurchtoteachandbaptisein Christ'sname,andtoleadmenin thewayofsalvation,itwouldseem todemandthatChristshouldhave comeagaintobuildituP,andto giveititsdivinecommission, so thatmenmightacceptitsmission, believeinit,andsubmittoitsatthority.Ilookinvainforany,convincingevidence,or,indeed,anyevidencewhatever,ofare-establishment byGodoftheChurchthat was wrecked,orofanynewdivinelyfoundedChurchtotakeherPlace. IftherebeanysuchChurch,letit produceitsproofofadivinemission,andtheevidenceofitsbeing thetrueChurch,endowedwithdivinelyconstitutedauthority,andlet itshowthemarksbywhichwemay recogniseit,sothatwemaysubmit toit.

AndnowIturntotheCatholic Church.WhatdoIsee?Whatevidencedoesherhistoryafford? I passoverthemiserableandunworthyconductofsomeofhermembers.evenofthoseinhighdegree-. conductcondemnedbytheChurch foritdoesnotaffecttheconstit1tionoftheChurchherself,orhermissiontotheworldineveryage.I seetheCatholicChurch,bearingevertheDivinestampoftruthand unity,comingdownfromChristand HisApostlesthroughallages to ourowntime,theChurchofmany tonguesandracesflourishingineveryland.Ihearher,withouthavingrenouncedanyofherrights,r changedanyofherteaching,speakingwithauthorityasshehasever spoken.IendtheCatholicChurch ofto-day,tohetheverysame churchthatoverthrewpaganism, andthatcarriedthelightofFaith intothecountriesoftheEastand oftheWest,intoItaly,Spain,Gaul, Britain,Ireland,andGermany,every-whereregeneratingsociete and establishingseatsoflearningandof art.
