DoestheCatholicChurchKeepPeoplefromThinking?
ByRev.B.J.Otter',S.J.
DoestheCatholicChurchinterfere withfreedomofthoughtordoesshe not?
Theanswermaybeeitheryesorno, accordingtothemeaningoneattaches totheterm,"freedomofthought." Thereisafreedomofthoughtthat spellstreasontoman'srationalnature, andthereisafreedomofthoughtthat isthebirthrightofeveryhumanbeing; withtheformersheinterferesmostdecidedly,withthelattershedoesnot interfereinanysense. Toformacorrectjudgmentonthe pointinquestion,wemustbearin mindthattheCatholicChurchclaims tohavereceivedfromherDivine Founderthecommissiontoteachall nations,andtoteachthemwhatsoever Hecommanded.Thevalidityofthis claimsheprovesbyargumentsthatare calculatedtoconvinceanyonewho givesthesubjectseriousthought,and whoisdisposedtoacceptthetruthno matterwhatobligationsitsacceptance mayinvolve.ChristpromisedthatHe wouldbuildHisChurchuponPeter, theRock.andthatthusbuilt,thegates ofhellshouldnotprevailagainsther. HepromisedthattoPeterHewould givethekeysoftheKingdomof Heaven,thePowertobindandloose uponearthinsuchwisethatitshould beboundorloosedinHeaven.He appointedPeterinHisownplaceas chiefshepherd,withtheprivilegeand thedutytofeedHislambsendHis sheep.HeprayedthatPeter'sfaith shouldnotfail,sothathemightbein apositiontoconfirmhisbrethren.He madePeter,therefore,theheadofHis Churchonearth;andwithPeter, dulysubordinatedtohimastheirhead, HeassociatedtheotherApostlesinthe workofcarryingonHisownmission ofmercyandloveforthesalvationof theworld.
Thustheteachingbodyofthe Churchwasconstituted,andthisarrangementwastolasttilltheendof time.HencewhenChristgaveHis Apostlestheirfinalcommissionto preachtheGospel.Hesaidtothem: 'AllpowerisgiventoMeinheaven andinearth.Goingtherefore,teachye allnations;baptisingtheminthename oftheFather,andoftheSon,andof theHolyGhostTeachingthemtoobserveallthingswhatsoeverIhavecorn. mandedyou:andbeholdIamwith youalldays,eventotheconsummationoftheworld."Notonlywithyou personally,duringyourlifetime,but alsowithyouinyoursuccessors,"all days.eventotheconsummationofthe world." This,theCatholicChurchclaims,is hercommission-toteachthetruth thatChristtaught,toteachitwith Hisauthority,toteachittoallnations. Tothiscommissionshehasbeenfaithfulfromthebeginning,tothisshewill befaithfultotheend.Itisinvirtueof thiscommissionthatsheexercisesthe rightanddischanrgsthedutyof'watchingoverthefaithandmoralsofher children.Andasfaithandmorality findexpression,notonlyinexterior conduct,butalsointhoughtandYohtion,shenecessarilyclaimsauthority towatchoverboth,inorderthatshe maycomplywiththeinjunctionofher DivineFounder.
First,then,Ireadilygrantthatthe Churchdoesplaceaecrtainrestraint uponfreedomofthought:butIcontendthatthisrestraintisexercised alonglineswherefreedomofthought isintheverynatureofthingsillegitimate.Shedoesnot"keeppeoplefrom thinking."butshekeepsthemfrom wrongthinkingandfromthinking wrong.Herrestrictivesupervisionextendstomorality,thetruthsoffaith, andtoothertruthsinsofarasthey haveabearinguponfaith.Inreferencetomorality,nothingneedbesaid onthepresentoccasion;becausein thisrespecttheChurchpracticallycontentsherselfwithenforcingthecommandmentsofthedecalogueasapplied totheChristiandispensation,andwith thatnoonecanreasonablyfindfault. Infact,noProtestant'Churchthat makesanypretensionatalltobeing theChurchofChrist,daresclaimless asitsrightandduty.Henceifthe CatholicChurch"keepspeoplefrom thinking,"ismustbeinmattersof faithorinreferencetotruthsinsofar astheyhaveabearinguponfaith. Inrespectoffaith,ortheacceptance of-revealedtruths,theChurchmaintainsthatherauthorityisfinal,sothat herdecisionsarenotsubjecttocorrectionbyanyoneofherchildren,no matterwhatbehispositionorlearning.Invirtueofhercommissionto teachallnations,shedemandsthat truthswhichhavecertainlybeenrevealed,andwhichforthatveryreason canneverceasetobetruths,beacceptedassuchbyallwhodesiretobelong tohercommunion.Shedoesnotattempttoforcethefreewillofanyone, andthereforeifanytherebewhodo
notwishtothinkinmattersoffaith asshethinks,theyarephysicallyfree toseektheirsalvationsomewhereelse; butthemoralobligationofsubmitting toherguidanceremains,andthatobligationcomesfromthewillofChrist. Ontheotherhand,thefaithfulhave fulllibertytostudythesetruthsof faith;theymaystrivetounderstand theminalltheirbearings;forthispurposetheymayevenexcogitatedifficultiesandurgeobjectionsagainst them;theymaydiscusstheminlearnedbooksandpopulartreatises;butin alltheydo,theymustseetoitthat theydonotcallthetruthsthemselves inquestion;becausetheyarevouched forbyGod'sinfallibleword.
Inthis,asyousee,theChurchexercisesacertainrestrainton.freedomof thought;butshedoesnot"keepthe peoplefromthinking."Itisarestraint verymuchlikethatwhichasensible teacherputsuponhispupilswithregardtocertainfundamentalprinciples thatadmitofnodoubt,as,forinstance, themultiplicationtable.Heisquite willingthattheyshouldknowallthat iscontainedtherein,thattheyshould beabletoapplyitreadily;butinall theirworkheinsistsrelentlesslyupon aprofoundrespectforeveryitemofits contents.Nordoesthecommunitythat engagedhisservicesfindanyfaultwith hisapparentintellectualdespotism.In fact,werehetoaccommodatehimself tothevagrantviewsofhispupilsin thismatter,hewoullsoonbenotified tolookforotherfieldsofusefulness. Hewouldbealtogethertooprogressive formenwhoholdthattruthistruth totheendofreckoning.
Theparityinthecaseliesinthis, thatasthemultiplicationtableisbut atabulationofcertainnaturaltruths which-vdmitofnochange,soisthe teachingoftheChurchbutanauthoritativepresentationofcertainsupernaturaltruthsthatareunchangeable. Intheformercasethetruthsarebased uponthenatureofthings;inthelatter theyarefoundedupontheinfallible wordofnature'sGod.
Thefactis.wherevertruthisrecognisedascertain,freedomofthought ceaseswithregardtothatsametruth. Thisfollowsnecessarilyfromthelaws thatgovernourmentaloperations. Thus.tomakethematterclearbya tangibleexample,whenIlookatmy watch,mysensesreferani,piageofit tothebrain;mybrainreceivesthe imageasrepresentedintheformofa phantasm;fromthismyintellectabstractsaspiritualideawhichcontains allthatispredictedofawatch,andin virtueofthisideamyintellectisforced byitsownnaturetoformthejudgment:Thisisawatch.Itisnotat libertytoconcludethatitisahorse,or asteamengine.Andsoinallother cases:wherevertheintellectrecognises truth,therefreedomofthoughtisout ofplace.
Inregard,therefore,torevealed truthsthatarecretainlycontainedin thesacreddepositoffaith,theChurch justlyrequiresthatherchildrenshould thinkasshethinks.Toallowthemto thinkastheyplease,eveninthis matter.andstillretainthemasmembersofhercommunion,wouldbenothinglessthantobetraythesacred trustwhichChristcommittedtoheras teacherofthenations.Perhapsyouwill saythatProtestantchurchesaremuch moreliberalinthisrespect.Somostof themare,ifnotall;butwhatdoesthat show?Thattheyhavegreaterregard forintellectualfreedom?No;notat all.Itonlyshowsthattheyarenot convincedofpossessingthetruth.For iftheywereconvincedofthat,andyet allowedthemembersoftheircommun ionstothinkastheypleasedinmatters offaith,theywouldbeconsciously guiltyoftreasonagainstChrist. But,wearetold,theChurchextends herrestrictivemeasureseventotruths thatarenotcontainedinthesacreddepositoffaith;eventotruthsabout whichviewsmaydifferwithoutviolatingthelawsofthought.Soshedoes; butbywayofguidanceonly.Beyond thetruthsthathavecertainlybeenrevealed,andoverwhichtheChurchby Christ'sowncommandmustkeep watchandward,thereextendvast fieldsoftruthsmoreorlesscertain,or ofmereprobabilities,andoverthese sheallowsherchildrentoroamasright reasonandgoodsensemaydirect.She definesnoreligioustruthssavesuchas havebeenrevealedbyGod;sheenforcesnoparticularsystemofphilosophytotheexclusionofothers;she prescribesnosubjectsofinvestigation ormethodofresearchtomenof science.Whereverherpositionasreligiousteacherpermitsit,shegivesfull andfreescopeofhumangeniusand personalinitiative.Butwhendangerousconclusionsaredrawnthatarenot warrantedbythefactsinthecase,or whenunfoundedtheoriesaresetupthatruncountertothetruths-over
whichshewascommissionedtokeep guard,shesoundsthealarmandbids investigatorsretracetheirsteps;becausesheknowswiththecertaintyof divinefaiththattheyhavegoneastray intheirsearchfortruth.Why?Because truthcannotcontradicttruth,andthe truthofGod'swordshallnotpass away. Andthereasonablenessofherposi. tioninthisrespectisbornewitnessto evenbythefactsofhistory.Thereis hardlyadepartmentinthewholefield ofsciencethatisnotstrewnwiththe wrecksofcountlesstheories,which,in theirshortday,wereconfidentlypredictedtobethefinalundoingofthe Church.Yettheyareallabandoned andforgotten,whilstsheisstillstrong andvigourousasinthedaysofher youth.ThetruthofGod'swordshall notpassaway."BeholdIamwithyou alldays,eventotheconsummationof theworld."
