Describing,ashedoesinsomedetail,KingEdward'sextremereluctance topronouncetheoffensiveDeclaration againstCatholicdoctrinerequiredof himwhenopeningParliament,theauthorseemsnervouslyanxioustoassure usthattheKing'sfeehngswereuue tohistolerantspirit,"nottoanyleaningstowardsRomanCatholicism.' Andlateron,whenEd.ardVII. pressed,andcarriedout,hisintention ofvisitingPopeLeoXIII.,inspiteof theBritishPrimeMinistersdisapproval,wehavemorecommonplacesirom SirSidneyabouttheKingsaumirable "toleranceforreligiousbeliefsother thanhisown."

Thiscuriousinsistenceon"tolerance.'and"toleration'asanall-sutticingexplanationofKingEdwardsattitudetowardsCatholicismis,Ithink, quiteintelligible.'10theJewishrace tolerationis,itnotthesupremegood, atleastoneofthemostdesirable thingsinlife-athingwhichtheyhave beentryingtosecureforthemselvesnotalwayswithsuccess-fornearly tmaltycenturiesineverycountryof Chnstendom.

ThereforeSirSidneyLeecommends KingEdward's"tolerance"-perhaps thehighestvirtueinhiseyes.But personallyIdonotintheleastbelieve thatthewordadequatelyexpresses EdwardVII.'sattitudeorfeelingtowardstheCatholicreligionandthose whoprofessedit.

Itwasnotmeretolerancewhich inspiredhiswarmregardandesteem forHenryDukeofNorfolk-aman,if thereeverwasone,thoseCatholicism madehimwhathewas-whenhecame intointimatetouchwithhimduring thelongpreparationsfortheCoronation.

TheCatholicDoctrineofPurgatory

IntheCatholictheologyofPurgatory,writesWilliamI.Lonergan,S.J., in"America,"twotruthsstandoutaccordingtotheCouncilsofLyons,FlorenceandTrent,asdefinitelyrevealed: itsexistence,andthefactthatthe soulstheremaybeaidedbythesuffragesoftheliving.Otherquestions thereare,associatedwiththedogma; forexample,thenatureandduration ofthepurgatorialpunishmentsandthe powerofthedeadtomeritorimpetrateforthemselvesorothers,but theseareofminormomentandthe Churchhasneverauthoritativelydefinedanyofthem.However,itwould indeedberashtowaivethetraditional teachingsoftheFathersandtheologiansonsuchmatters.

Purgatorymayaptlybedescribedas theplaceorstatewherethesoulsof thosewhohavepassedoutoflifewith uni'epentedvenialsinsorunsatisfiedforsins,mortalorvenial,fillupthe measureoftheirpurificationanddis- chargethroughsufferingsthedebtof 1.. temporalpunishmenttheyowebefore beingadmittedtotheVisionBeatific.

Beliefintheexistenceofsuchaplace orconditionwascurrentevenamong theJewsoftheOldTestamentthough thenameitselfisofmorerecentorigin andseemstohavebeenofficiallyadoptedforecclesiasticalusageonlyduring thepontificateofInnocentIV.inthe thirteenthcentury.Becausethe Greeks'ofhisdaymaintainedthat"this placeofpurification"wasnotindicatedbytheirdoctors"byanappropriate andaccurateword,"heissuedadecreetotheeffectthat"wewill,inaccordancewiththetraditionandauthorityoftheholyFathers,thathenceforth itbecalled'Purgatorium.'"

ApartfromRevelation,reasonitself wouldseemtojustifyabeliefinPurgatory.forunquestionablymanysouls passtoeternityundeservingonthe onehandoftheendlesspunishments ofbellandontheotherunfittedfor thesightofGod.Moreover,inthe verynatureofthings,everytransgressioncarrieswithitatwofoldresponsibility,ofguiltandofpunishment.Repentanceandabsolutionwillblotout theguilt,butitmaynotalwaysremit thepunishment.Forthat,proportionatesatisfactionmaybeexacted, andifitisnotorcannotbegivenin thislifeitstandstoreasonthatitwill berequiredinthenext.

Inmattersof'dogma,however,Catholicismdoesnotmerelyspeculateor conjecture.HerCreedsarebuilded onamoresubstantialbasiseventhan thenatureofthings.OntheunshakablepillarsofScriptureandTradition, theedificeofFaithhasbeenreared. TheinfallibletestimonyoftheGodManandHisassuredprotectionofthe HolySpiritforherofficialteachersis thewarrantoftheChurchforherdogmaticprinouncements.OnthequestionofPurgatoryneitheriswanting. Theologianscommonlyadducethree Biblicalpassagestosupportbeliefin postmortempurgationandintheefficacyofprayersforthedead.Inthe OldTestamenttheclassicalallusionto thedoctrineisfoundinII.Machabees, (xii,43-46),whichrevealsinunmistakablelanguagethefaithofthe chosenpeopleonthesubject.There wearetoldthatJudasMachabeushavinglostmanyofhiswarriorsinbattle buriedtheirbodiesreverently.

Andmakingagatheringhesent twelvethousanddrachmsofsilverto Jerusalem.forsacrificetoheoffered forthesinsofthedead,thinkingwell andreligiouslyconcerningtheresurrecion.

(Forifhehadnothopesthatthey wereslainshouldriseagain,itwould haveseemedsuperfluousandvainto prayforthedead.)

Andbecauseheconsideredthatthey whohadfallenasleepwithgodliness, hadgreatgracelaidupforthem.

Itisthereforeaholyandwholesome thoughttoprayforthedead,that theymaybeloosedfromsins.

True,Protestantcriticsforthemost partrejectthispassageasuncanonical.

However.Tradition,theFathersand theancientcodicesareallagainst them.Evenifitweregrantedthat theBooksofMachabeeswereuncanonicalandconsequentlynotinspired,the Catholicargumentwouldnotbein-validsinceitwouldstillgetforcefrom anhistoricaldocumentrecordingthe beliefoftheJewsofthatperiod.

FromOurDivineLord'smodeof speechregardingthosethat"shall FpeakagainsttheHolyGhost,"namely.'itshallnotheforgivenhim,neither inthisworldnorintheworldtocome" (Matt.xii,32),St.IsidoreofSeville deducesthatafterdeath"somesins willbeforgivenandpurgedawayby acertainpurifyingfire."andAugustineGregorytheGreatandothers ,imilarlyinteroretthetext.

St.Jerome,St.Ambrose,andOrigen

findafurtherargumentforPurgatory inSt.Paul(ICor.iii.,1215):.

Nowifanymanbuilduponthis foundation(ChristJesus),gold,silver, preciousstones,wood,hay,stubble: Everyman'sworkshallbemanifest; forthedayoftheLordshalldeclare it,becauseitshallberevealedinfire; andthefireshalltryeveryman'swork, orwhatsortitis.

Ifanyman'sworkabide,whichhe hathbuiltthereupon,heshallreceive areward.

Ifanyman'sworkburn,heshallsufferloss;butbehimselfshallbesaved, yetsoasbyfire.

Whiletheologiansadmitthatobviouslythepassagepresentsitsexegeticaldifficulties,theconclusionfrom ittotheexistenceofanintermediate statebetweenheavenandhellwherein thedrossoflightertransgressionswill beconsumedandthepurifiedsoulattaintoglory,seemsbothlogicaland convincing.

ApartfromScripturetheconstant anduniversalteachingoftheFathers goingbacktoour'earliestextantrecords,OrientalaswellasthosebelongingtotheWesternChurch,supports theopinionthatmanyofthedeparted areinastateofpurificationandthat theprayersoftheliving,particularly theHolySacrificeoftheMass,can assistthem.Irenaens(d.202),Tertullian(d.240),Cyprian(d.258),Cyril ofJerusalem(d.386),Basil(d.379), GregoryofNyssa(d.396),nottomentionlaterwriters,allspeakofprayer forthedead,andevidencebeliefin Purgatory.

True,thedoctrinehassometimes beencalledinquestionbyheretics; rarely,however,beforetheMiddleAges ifweexcepttheGnosticsectsand Ariusinthefourthcentury.TheattitudeoftheEasternOrthodoxChurch maybegatheredfromtheircatechism:

"Suchsoulsashavedepartedwith faithbutwithouthavinghadtimeto bringforthfruitsmeetforrepentance maybeaidedtowardstheattainment ofablessedresurre,:tionbyprayers offeredintheirbehalf,especiallysuch asareofferedinunionwiththeoblationofthebloodlesssacrificeofthe BodyandBloodofChrist,andby Worksofmercydoneinfaithfor theirmemory(Y.376)."

Bishop"Reproached"byRome

AskedtoFindMeansforDecreasing MixedMarriages.

Dr.Cowgill,BishopofLeeds,states thatintheletterfromRomeacknowledginghisrecentstatementonthe conditionofthediocese,coveringthe fiveyearsendingin1922,"ourattentionwascalledtotheverylargenumberofmixedmarriagesthattakesplace inthediocese,andhopeswereexpressedthatsomemeanswouldbe takentobringaboutachangeinthis matter."

HisLordshipproceedstoexplainthe reasonsftItheChurch's"uncompromisingattitude'onthequestionof marriage.

"First,letitberememberedthat,accordingtotheteachingoftheChurch, and,consequently,accordingtodivine revelation,marriageundertheChristiandispensationisindissoluble.'What Godhasjoinedtogetherletnoman putasunder,'mustbetakenliterally.

"Withhumannatureasitis.prone toevil,andsoeasilythevictimofthe concupiscenceoftheflesh,theconcupiscenceoftheeyesandtheprideof life,thisconditionmaybeacauseof greatdifficulties,andverytryingto humanloveandconjugalfidelity.How truethisismadeevidentbywhat takesplaceintheDivorceCourts wherehundreds,naythousande,seek tohavetheirmarriagedissolvedonthe pleaofcrueltyandinfidelity.

ViewsofArchbishopDuhig.

DuringhisjourneytoItalyonthe Orama,ArchbishopDuhighadseveral aspectsofmigrationbroughtunderhis notice,reportstheBrisbane"Age."He spentsometimeamongstthethirdclasspassengers,morethanhalfof whomhadcometoAustraliaasmigrants,butwerereturningtoBritain afterwhattheydescribedasahopeless" attempttosettleinthiscountry.Dur'ingconversationshelearnedthatthese peopleweretakingawaywiththemimpressionsthattheyhadbeenbrought toAustraliaunderfalsepretences,and thattheywerenotwantedhere."It wasastrangeposition,"saidDr.Duhig, "becauseonthesameboat,returning toEnglandforaholidayweremigrants whohadmadegoodinourCommonwealth.Ihadaskedpermissionto addressameetingofthesepeople,and ItoldthemthatIregrettedtosee Britishmigrantsreturninghomewith suchunfavourableimpressionsofAustralia.HadtheygivenAustraliaa fairtrial?Itwashardlyfairtore-, turntoEnglandanddisseminatesuch impressionsastheythem9elveshad conceived.Itoldthemoftheunpropitiouscircumstancesunder-which theirforbearscametothiscountry andtheyhadhadtoworkhardto pavethewayfortheirchildren.They hadmetwith'success,andAustralia owedmuchtothem.Aftertheaddresssomeofthemensaidthat'pornmies'werelookeddownuponinthis country,andthattheAustralianworkerseemednottowantnewarrivals whiletheconditionsoflandsettlement didnotpromisegoodreturns."

"SomethingRadicallyWrong."

Inthecourseofthatmeeting,Dr. Duhigcontinued,therewassomevery plainspeaking,andhis'eyeswereopenedtosomeofthedisabilitiesoutlined. Someveryuncomplimentarythings weresaidaboutAustralia.Itwasvery strange,too,becauseonthesteamer weremigrantswhohadmadegood, andalsoItalianswhoweregoinghome toItalyandwould-bringoutmembers oftheirownfamilies."TheonlyconclusionIcouldcometo,"heremarked, "wasthatthereissomethingradically wrongintheorganisationofmigration inEngland,and,forthatmatter,in Australia,whenthecountryislosing migrantsaftermuchmoneyhasbeen spentonbringingthemouthere. Whateverthecauseitwillbeaswell tosetitasideassoonaspossible. However,-myownopinionisthatthe righttypeofmigrantsisnotbeing selectedinLondon,whileinAustralia thereisnoproperorganisationforreceivingthemandprovidingthemwith work.Whateveibadimpressionsare disseminatedinEnglandconcerning ourcountry,itisevidentthatsome peoplearenotledbythemfor,onthe outwardtripofthevessel,therewere 1,100migrants,allinterestedinAustralia.-Itappearstomethatthemajorityofthemigrantsexpecttoomuch andarenotpreparedtoshiftforthemselves,astheoldpioneersdid.Personally.Iputitdowntothefactthat theyaretoousedtocitylifeandconditions,whichtheylookforonarrival inAustralia.Iregretthebadname giN'entoourcountrybysuchpeople."
