Anglo-CatholicsandReunion

Anglo-Catholicismis,ofcourse,a sectionoftheChurchofEngland.It representsthosealwaysontheup- wardandconstructivegradeinthe spirituallife.Thetitleisnew,but notthespirit.Therehasalwaysbeen abetterschoolinthemany"schoolsof thought"whichgotomakeuptheNationalChurch,asitisincorrectlycalled.ButAnglo-Catholicismis-itself subdividedintomanyothersections.

"Wedon'tgoquitesofarasthat,"is anexpressionfrequentlyheard.Once throwovertheCompassanddropthe Pilot,thereisnoendtothemeanderingcourseoftheship.

TheadvancedAnglo-Catholicsproposepublishingaseriesof"Unity Tracts.'bytheAnglicanSocietyof St.ThomasofCanterbury.Thefirst is'headed:"Whithergoestthou?TowardsRome."Theobjectinview istofurther"CorporateReunion"with theHolySee,thecentreofChristendon\

We,Catholics,willbesomewhat startledbythewordsofthewriter, whosays:

"Moreespeciallyitwillbecomenecessaryopenlytoputasideeverything originallyemanatingfromStateau- thorityinEngland,whichconflicts withthepractiteoftheUniversal Church.

"Thus,,theStateBookofCommon Prayerwillneed,notonly,tobe'improved'inaccordancewithcurrent "Anglo'Catholicpractice,butdisplaced,

asopportunityoffers,andthelawful Churchritesandservicessubstituted; aprinciplewhichholdsgood,notonly withreferencetotheMass,butforthe administrationoftheSacramentsgen- erally.Norcanweconsistentlyattempttoretainpeculiarpracticesof thepost-ReformationChurch,suchas theuseofthevernacularintheMass, orCommunionunderbothkinds,simplybecausetheirabolitionwillmean difficultyandconflict."

Inotherwords,theAnglo-Catholics must,asitwere,getbehindtheReformation-andallitsbadbusiness. Romeinpre-Reformationdayswas the"UniversalChurch."TheStatemadeChurchofElizabethwasarebellionandmustbewipedout,evenif onlygradually.Withadmirablelogic thewritercontinues:

CardinalDuboisandtheFrenchElections

THECATHOLICPOLICYDEFINED.

CirdinalDubois,Archbishop'of Paris.inaninterview,hasissueda publicdeclarationofpolicytobefollowedbytheCatholicsofFrancewith regardtotheelectionsof1928.

InthishisEminenceadmonishes themtoobserve,duringthecoming campaign,thatspiritofpeacefulconciliationwhichtruejustice,wisdom, andcharitydemandandwhichtheattitudeoftheHolySeehasalwaysexpressed.Aboveallthings,heurges uponthemthespiritofpeace-bothinternalandexternalpeaceinthepoliticsofthecountry.

"IfallthoseFrenchmenareconsideredasCatholics,"saidCardinalDubois,"whoarebaptised,marriedor buriedbytheChurch,thenFranceis almostunanimouslyCatholic.But thosewhodoactuallypracticetheirreligion,applyitsprinciplesintheirpubliclifeandfollowinallthingsthedictionoftheepiscopate,donotconituteamajorityinthecountry.

*. "ThepractisingCatholicsshould, therefore,inthefieldofpolitics,seek alliancewithothermenofgoodprinciples.Withthesetheyshouldenter intonegotiationsandreachunderstandings.Andindoingthis,they shouldnotexhibitaspiritofuseless intransigence,norshouldtheyexact impossibleconditions.Everyonemust roak.2somesacrificestothespiritof peace."

TheCatholicsinFrance,theCardinal declared,areconfrontedwithtwoalternatives.Bythe,first,theywould makeonlymoderatedemandsandally themselveswiththosegroupswhich, althoughnotprofessedlyCatholic,fav ourthemaintenanceofreligiouspeace.

Bythesecondalternative,theCatholicswouldconstitutethemselvesa sortofelectioncoalitionofbothrepublicansandmonarchistscombined,and drawupaprogrammeofradicaldemandsincludingtheabrogationofall theso-called"laylaws."

Thisprogrammehasnotyetbeen drawnupindetailbutitistobesupposedthatitwouldincludetheabrogationofthelawseparatingthe ChurchandState,thedivorcelawand thelawrequiringlayinstructioninthe publicschools,andthedivisionofthe governmentbudgetbetweenthepublic andtheparishschools.Someeven recommendthatthelastdemand shouldbechangedtotheentirereplacementofpublicschoolsbyreligiousschoolsor,asissometimesproposedinAlsace,thecompleterelinquishmentofallgovernmentauthorityover theschools.

Communionandtheprivilegeofbeing marriedorburiedbytheChurch.

"ThePope,"theCardinalsaid,"did notcondemnthe'ActionFrancaise'becauseitdefendsthemonarchy.A Catholicmay,withaperfectfreeconscience,preferamonarchialtoaRepublicanregime.Thecondemnation ofthe'Action'Francaise'didnothave asitsobject,andcouldnothaveasa result,anyharmtothebestinterests ofFrance;andthiscondemnationwas notdirectedagainstapoliticalgroup, butagainstadoctrine,whichona numberofpointsiscontrarytothe teachingsoftheChurch,andamethodofprocedurewhichiscontraryto thelawsofChristianmorality.""CatholicHerald."

CatholicSympathyforZion

"OughtCatholicstosupporttheZionistMovement?"wasthesubjectofa debateopenedbyFatherArthurDay, S.J.,atasessionoftheCatholicCitizens'Parliament,Vauxhall,London.

ThoughtherewerepointsofsimilaritybetweentheJewsandtheIrish, contendedFatherDay,therewasone greatdifference,namely,thatwhereas, wherevertheIrishmanmightbeforcedtowander,healwayshadhisnative Irelandbeforehismentalviison,the Jewhadnosuchconsolation,havingno countryatallofhisown.

Touchingonthe"home-sickness"of Jews,thespeakershowedhow,with theindividualriseofaboutadozen falseMessiahs,thereoccurredanaccompanyingwavetowardsthere-poesessionoftheir"PromisedLand."It wasinterestingtonotealsohowinthe seventeenthcentury,OliverCromwell ascloselyscrutinisedasbeingapossible"Messiah."

Referringtothepresentoccupantsof Palestine,theArabs,FatherDayurged thattherelativedistancebetween themoughtnottoraisetoomanydifficultbarriers,astheywerepractically firstcousins,theArabsbeingthelineal descendantsofAbraham's"bondwoman."Statisticsshowedthat,whereasthirtyyearsagotherewereonly about20,000JewsinPalestine,there wereto-dayabout160,000;andthough theworld'sJewishpopulationwasin theneighbourhoodof15,000,000,itwas highlyprobablethatnevermorethan about2,000,000wouldcomprisethe totalnumberoftheminPalestine.

InshowingthattotheJewwhobelievedinhisreligion,Palestinewasthe dreamtoberealised,FatherDay pointedhow,in1905,aschemetoprovidealargetractoflandinAfricafor JewishcolonisationproposedbyMr. IsraelZangwill,wasultimatelyrejected byamajorityofthe"chosenpeople."

Speakingoftheprescriptiverightof theArabtoPalestine,FatherDaynotedthat,whereastheArabwashighly agricultural,theJewhadlostmuchof thatgift,which,however,hehadpossessedinabundanceinearlydays.

AsregardsthoseJewsreturningto Palestine,thoughhecouldnotdefend agnosticisminanyform,itwasperhapsbetterthattheyshouldbeso thanwhollyorthodoxJews.Thelatterwouldmeanthatweweresiding endsympathisingwithamovement whichwouldultimatelybedetrimental totheinterestsofthespreadofCatholicity.There-possessionofthe HolyLandwouldnotonlybebeneficialtothosewhowouldmigratethere butwouldbebeneficialtothoseJews whowouldremainwithus,becauseit wouldremovethatjibewhichothers wereonlytooreadytomakeconcerningtheirhavingnocountry.

Inthecourseofhissubsequentreply tomanyquestionerswhotookpartin thelengthydebate,FatherDaysaid, dealingwiththepossibilityofanylarge movementtowardsJewishconversion onalargebasis,thathehopedfor thatdaywhentheChurchwouldnot onlyhaveaGreek,LatinandEastern Rite,asnow,butlikewise,aHebrew Rite.
