DoesCatholicismfavourDemocracy? InterestingBriticismofSocialistArguments

LECTUREBYPROFESSORI'HILLIMORE,M.A.

OnFriday,October4,Professor Phillimore,M.A.,deliveredtheopeninglectureofthepresentsessionof theGlasgowCatholicSocialReform AssociationintheNationalHall, Glasgow.TheMostRev.D.A.Mackintosh,ArchbishopofChersona,presided,andbrieflyintroducedthelecturer.TheProfessor,whotookfor hissubject,"Religion,Science,and Democracy,"receivedawarmreceptiononrisingtospeak.

Noquestion,hesaid,hadoccupied moreattentionduringthenineteenth centurythanthat"Whatwerethe relationsbetweenthechurchand Democracy-weretheyfriendsorirreconcilableenemies?"Thelastcenturyhadbeen,inasense,thegrowth andinheritanceoftheFrenchRevolution.Duringthecourseofthat Revolutionitbadbeentakenfor granted,onallsides,thatthethrone andthealtarwereinseparablyconnected,thattheenemiesofonewere theenemiesoftheother,andthat, whenthethronewentdown,thealtarmustgodownalso.Itwasassumedthattherewasasimilarconnectionbetweendemocracyandatheism.Thisideawentonunquestionedduringthefirsttwentyorthirty }earsofthenineteenthcentury,and itwasonlywiththemovementof thoughtinFrance,ledbythethree greatnamesLacordaire,Montalembert,andLamennais,thatEurope wasfirstledtoaskwhetheritmight notbepossiblefortheChurchand Democracytoheonthesameside afterall.However,therevolutionof 1918wassomuchcomplicatedwith theRomanquestion-thePapalquestion-thatevendowntothemiddle ofthecenturyitwasgenerallytaken forgrantedamongstatesmenthat theCatholicChurchcouldalwayshe foundalliedwiththeGovernment, evenwhenthatGovernmentwasdespoticandoppressive.Thenatural alliancewithGovernmentwasso strongthateventhevicesoftheGovernmentcouldnotbreakit.andit wasonlyinthelasttwentyyearsof thecentury,perhaps,thattheveil wasfullylifted.Theycouldremembertheastonishmentandincredulity withwhichpublicmenheard THATLEOXIII.HADFORMALLY DECLAREDHISACCEPTANCE THEFRENCHREPUBLIC. anddeclaredittobethedutyofCatholicsinFrancenottofightagainst theRepublicanylonger.Thesame note,thesamedoctrinethatthe Churchwasnecessarilyanti-democraticwasthenoteonwhichmodern anti-clericalismwasnevertiredof harping.TheSocialistPartyinItaly,had,however,madethediscovery thatanti-clericalismwasofno!Lore use,thattheyhadbeendeceivedby anti-clericalprofessionslongenough, andtherehadbeenaformalsplitbetweentheFreemasonsandtheSocia.listainthisconnection.Thisvas arevolutionofwhichtheeffectshad notyetbeenseen.Thesamething wasgoingoninFrance,onlymore slowly.InPortugaltherehadalso beenananti-clericalrevolutiontwo yearsago.Therevolutionistsaere nothingifnotdemocraticintheir pr.fessions.Oncemorethethrone andthealtarwereintimately:Hied tobecastdowntogether.Butthe ac7i-clericalFreemasonGovernment notbeenlonginofficewhenit ratherdisappointeditsdemocratic ad-.):rersbyproceeding

Althoughsheownednoparty,there werecertainpointsonwhichsheallowednocompromise,nosurrenler. Suchwas,forinstance,thes..nctity ofprivateproperty.TheChurchassertedthatprivatepropertywassacred.Again,theChurchwasagainst plutocracy,which,thelecturerfointedout,ledtoadeepcleavagebetweenrichandpoor.Historyhad shown,byalongseriesofexamples, thatwhatwaswelldescribedashumaneandreasonablegovernmentwas whattheChurchhadalwaysbeen workingfor.TheProfessorshowed byaseriesofhistoricalexamples thattheChurchwasal,aysopposed tooppression.Assoonasaking wishedtosethimselfupasatyrant, hefoundsomethingincompatible withthatambitionintheCatholic Church,andinordertogratifyhis ambitionhewashoundtoattack her.TheconstitutionofthePapacy itself,ifoneweretoregarditasa purelyhumaninstitution,mightbest hedescribedasademocraticmonarchy.

Socialistsandsecularistswerefond ofclaimingthattherewassomething calledscience,whichwasademocraticforce,againstwhichtheChurch wasset,justas,accordingtothem, theChurchwassetagainstdemocracy.Itwasdifficulttodetermine whatthesepeoplemeantbyscience, butwhatevertheymeantbyit,it wasthelastthingintheworldwhich couldhecalledademocraticforce.

Theshortaddress.adeliveredbyHis LordshipDr.CluneatSt.['atrick's PrimarySchoolConcertonFriday Rightlastweek,waspublishedin the"WestAustralian"onSaturday, andwasthesubjectoftheleading articleinMonday'sissueofthe samejournal.

inbehalfoftheCatholicCommunity,wethanktheEditorofthe "WestAustralian"forthepublicationoftheBishop'sremarks,forthe manycourteousreferencestoHis Lordship,andforthesplendidtestimonyungrudginglygiventothe greatworkoftheCatholicSchools inWestAustraliaandelsewhere.

Ofcourse,intestifyingtothecxeellenceofourCatholicSchools,the Editorofouresteemedcontemporarywasonlystatingfactsthatare we:1knowntousandtoeverykeen observeroftrueprogress.Butthere aremanyoutsidethecatholicChurch whoareratherslouinrecogni4ing therefacts;someofthemhaveeyes ar.0seenot,othersaregunerally co:our-blindwhentheyareaskedto logisatthefruitsofourwork,while afewhereandtherealwaysclose theireyesanddarkentheirminial visionwhenthesubjectofCatholic Fal,icationisintroduced.

Henceitwaswithfeelingsofpleasureandwithacertainamountof encouragementthatwereadthefollowingunstintedtestimonytothe workofourschoolsintheleading 'articleofMonday's"WestAustralian" HisLordshipwasonfirmground inreferringtothesplendidwork c!theRomanCatholicschools.In Britishcommunitiesthestandard raeducationsetintheschools maintainedbytheadherentsofthe P.,AnanCatholicfaithissecondto thatinnootherdenominational nraStateschool.InWesternAustraliatheBishopcouldfindmany elamplesofsuccessfuleducational worktheresultoftheuntiringenpreyandenthusiasmofeducated re:igiousbrotherhoodsandsister!-adsoftheRomanCatholic !_arch.whoseTealhasbeenwor- tesimportedbythemembersof theflock.Indeedtherightreveraaarentleman-suchexcellentedur,.tionalfacilitiesvrovidedbyhis -.ith1;eclosetohand-mightwell nardoned foranyslightswelling .-2 worldly-'rideinwitnessing Itsneaksvolumesforthe

Havingaccompaniedusthisfar, theEditordepartsfromusandfollowsapathwhichalthoughitmay bepopular,remindsusverymuchof atangent.

1.Atfirstthepartingoftheways ishardlynoticeable:-

"BishopClune,inurgingthe claimsofhisChurchmustfeelthat heispleadingforeveryformand shapeofReligiousOrganisation. WhathedemandsfortheRoman Catholicsmust,ifgranted,begiventoeverysectthatprefersto assumetheEducationofthe Young."

No,BishopClunedoesnotbyany meanspleadthatwhathedemands shouldbegiventoeverysectthat "assumestheeducationofthe young;"inthatcaseinefficientand ignorantfanaticsmightspoilthe won'tofEducation.HisLordship pleads,notforthosewhomerely "assumetheEducationofthe young,"butforthosewhotakeup thatworkwhole-heartedly,whocarryitoutsuccessfully,forthose whoseteachers,whoseschools,and whosepupilsmeetthemostexacting demandsoftheStateinthematter ofSecularEducation.

2.TheEditorlaysstressonwhat hecallstheargumentof"public policy,whichdemandsthatouryouth ofeverycreedshall,ifpossible, growtomanhoodcapableofcherishingtheirindividualfaiths,while beingabletorespectthebeliefsof others.Tothisenditisdesirable thatthechildrenshouldmingleirrespectiveofcreed.FortheState,by areversiontothesystemofdenominationalendowment,topreventthis healthycomminglingoftheyoungstersistosowfreshseedsthat havematuredelsewhereincropsof bigotryandhatred."

Andthisiswhatthe"WestAustralian"calls"thestrongerargumentofpublicpolicy!"

Firstofall,whatrighthavethe StateSchoolstoarrogatetothemselvestheclaimthattheirsystem istheonewhichenablespupilsto "cherishtheirindividualfaiths,and torespectthebeliefsofothers?"

Theveryaimofdenominational schoolsisthepracticalcherishingof individualfaithswhilerespectfor thebeliefsofothersishonourably andreligiouslyobservedbybothteachersandpupils.

Whenhasthehealthycommingling referredtoceasedtoexistinour CatholicSchools?

3."Thedutyofthe-citeisaccomplishedinseeingthattheEducationalStandardindenominationalschoolsismaintainedataproperlevel."

Ifthisprincipleweregenerallyactedupon,weshouldsooncaveanew phaseoflabourunrest"Dothis workifyouwish;butrememberit mustcomeuptomystandardand hearinmindthatyouwill^etno wagesMydutyceaseswhenisee thattheworkisdoneexactlyasI wishattobedone!Herearethe specifications,therearetheboundaries,thisisthemeasureandstandard,butI'mnotboundto:dyemy payment!"

4."Whatisthestrengthoftheargumentthatdemandsforthosenot contentwiththeordinaryrightsof citizensasnecialeducationalprivilege?Itis a demandfortheState EndowmentofReligion."

Thiscertainlyismisleading.We arenotdemandingaspecialeducationalprivilegebeyondthe)rniaary rightsofcitizens.Therethalicdemandhasbeenstatedagainandag-

aim,andwearemorethansurprised tofinditmis-statedandclumsily misrepresentedintheaboveparagraphfromtheleadingcolumnsof the"WestAustralian."

TheStategivesprimarysecular educationfreeofchargetothechildrenofitscitizens.ThemoneyexpendedthusbytheStatecomesindirectlyfromcitizensofalldenominationsbymeansoftaxation.The Catholiccitizensiftheychooseto buildandequiptheirownschoolsare atlibertytodosothoseschools alwayshavebeenuptothestandardexactedintheStateSchoolsin thematterofseculareducation.And yetCatholicsaredeniedtheordinaryrightsofcitizens,namely,the righttohavetheexpenseincurredin thePrimarySecularEducationof theirchildrendefrayedbytheState thatgatherstaxesfromthemfor thisverypurpose!

Weshouldliketoknowhowthe Editorofthe"WestAustralian,"or fromanyoneelsewhocangiveus theinformationWHEN,WHERE, ANDTHROUGHWHOMDIDTHE CATHOLICSoFWESTERNAUSTito1.1AMAKEA"DEMANDFOR THESTATEENDOWMENTOFLELIGION"?
