REASONANDMODERNISM

DR.BARNES'NEWCHURCH.

IfthereisoneideawhichAgnosticismandModernism,itscousingerman,havestrivenwithalltheirenergytoimposeuponthepopularmind inthiscountry(England),itisthat thereisastrongantithesisbetween ReasonandFaith,byFaithbeingunderstoodtheChristian,andespecially theCatholicFaith,writes"H.R.,"in the"CatholicTimes."

Theyhavehadacertainsuccess withthoseuninstructedmassesfor whosespiritualdirectiontheEstablishedChurchislegallyresponsible. Theyhavefailedentirelytoimpress thebodyCatholic,andtheirfailurehas affectedadVerselynotonlytheirmentalprocessesbuttheirtemper.

Agnosticismisatthemomentrather inthebackground,anditistothe Modernistthatweareindebtedfor mostofthereligiousgaietywhichthe nationcanaffordto-day.DeanInge liesregularlyonhisbackandkicksat theIrish,notforgettingtodemonstratethesuperiorityofhisownnurserybyinventingoffensivenicknames forlesswealthychildren.

ThepositionofDr.Barnesisnot soassuredthathecansafelyfollow initsfullnessthisadmirableexample, orpossiblytheepiscopalmitrehas hithertoexercisedsomemagicalrestraininginfluence.

Hithertosofarasthepresentwriter isaware,hehasnotfounditnecessary tohisargumenttocaricaturethe namesofprominentCatholicclergy, andhispronouncementshaveonly beenoffensivetoallCatholics,not pointedlytoanidentifiablesectionof them.

Thepointatthemoment,however, isintheinterestingspectacleofhow Moderniststhemselvesreacttothat Reasonwhichtheyhaveenshrinedin thefalseantithesisreferredto.

Dr.Barnesiseverreadytofurnish chapterandverse,anddidsoinhis Pro-CathedralatBirminghamonNew Year'sDay.

1."Ibelievethattotheshadowof warisduethatfallinthebirth-rate thenoflate-hasbeenalikewelcomed anddenouncedwithreligiousfervour. (Allquotationsarefromthe"Birmingham-Post,"January2nd.) forthedefencemustoften furnishdelightfulsurprisesfortheir clientsbutthoseoftheBishop'shearerswhopractisebirthpreventionmust havebeenextremelygratefulforanentirelynewexcuse.This,veryprobably,willbetheonlyfruitofastatement soobviouslyoutoftouchwithreality -andreason.

2."Manyhold,Ibelieverightly,that theunderlyingcauseofthegreatwar wasthetreblingofthepopulationof Europeduringthenineteenthcentury. Sothedesireforsmallerandbettercared-forfamilieshasbeenlinkedtoa desireforsmallerandbetter-ordered nations."

Pressureofpopulationcanbethe occasionofwarwhenaneighbouring countryisinvitinglythinlypeopled,or whenpublicmoralsaresuchthata conqueredpopulationcanbeexterminated.Neithercasewasrealised inEurope,andtherewasnoreason whyparallelincreasesinpopulation shouldhavehadtheeffectsuggested.

Remotecauseswhenproximateones areavailableareunreasonable,butDr. Barnercouldnothaveknownthis. OtherwisehecouldhardlyhaveignoredtheambitionofPrinces,theabandonmentofthatChristwhoissooften inhislips,thegreedoftherich,the uncontrollablemomentumofindustrial production,historicalanimositiesand thejerrymanderingofpoliticiansand armamentfirms.

Itmaybesuggestedwithduemodestythatallthesearesubjectsproper tobediscussedbythepastorofaflock Theyareignoredinfavourofahigh- lydoubtfultheory,whichleadshimto whatwemayassumetobehismain point.

3."Increasingly,indignationiscausedbythelargefamiliesoftheunfit whichareaburdentothewholecommunity.Simultaneouslyamovement torestricttheimmigrationofprolific peoples.ofalowercultureisgaining headway;andnowthatSouthernIrelandhasvirtualindependence,its swarmingpopulationmightwellbeexcludedfromGreatBritain." HisLordshipexplainsFaithbyReason.Asever,hewillworkforthe elimination,notofthesinful,butof theunfortunate.Thereisnogreater taskinBirmingham,motherandmistressofalltheindustrialisrms,which shoulddemandhisattention.Buthe forgetsthathehaspreviouslyurged thatthiscountryarrangedisarmament withAmerica.

Hisnexteffortatstatesmanshipis toprohibitfreemovementwithinthe Empire,andthereforetodestroythe Empire.DoesevenDr.Barnesthink thatGreatBritainalonewouldbeso deferredtobyAmerica?EvenaMod ernistcannothaveitbothways. Thedeliberate,highlyartificialand characteristicallyoffensiveinsulttothe Irish,towhichDr.Marnes'elaborate argumenthasobviouslybeenleading up,neednotdetainus.Usuallyhe takeshisideasfromsourcesnotquite soreadilyidentified,butinthiscase heyieldedtotemptationandechoed Inge.

HadheconsultedReasonhemight havelearntthat,althoughEnglishmen arenotfairerormorecharitablethan theirneighbours,theydolikealittle bithofbuttertotheirbread.They liketheirpubliciststotalkatleastlike gentlemen.OurIrishfriendsmay quitesafelyleaveDeanandBishopto theirpublic.

4."Simultaneously,thereligious ideasofIndiaandChinaarebecoming assignificantasthoseoftheMediterranean."

NVesuspectedit.Dr.Barnesis superiortothebeliefsofthesouthern Irish,butwillwelcomethoseofHindusandChinese,presumablybecause theyaretrulyNordic.Wesuspected it,butifDr.Barneshadlistenedto reasonhewould,havesuppressedthis particularaffinity.

Wearecharitable,wedonotpress h;rn,butitwouldbeinterestingto knowwhetherthemagicofChinese crackersontheidolatryofthefour (orisitseven?)armedVishnupleases himmost.

5."Catholicismisseenasavariant ofChristianity,whichbroughttoNordiclandsthefolk-beliefsoftheMediterraneanbecauseofthepartwhich theRomanEmpireplayedintheancienthistoryofEurope.Cathblicismis thusstampedasprovincial."

Ifwecannotseehowclearlythis followsitisbecausewearenotNordie Buttheonlythingthatemerges learlyisthatMr.Bellocrecentlyinflictedmorewoundsthanheknew ofandthatsomeofthemsmartmost damnably,butasaripostetheepiscopalretortlacks-well,shallwesayit lacksReason?

6."Englandseemstobeshaping anewitsreligiousconvictions.The workisbeingdonelessbyprofessional ecclesiasticsthanbyafewscholars. Theycombinewithmenofscience,socialreformers,andseriousjournalists togiveusanewunderstandingofthe teachingofJesus."

Somewhereabouttheyear107A.D. anagedBishopwasbeingbroughtin chainsfromAntiochtoRometobe deliveredtothelions.Ontheway hefoundopportunitytoaddressletters tosectionsofhisflock,andinoneof theseletterswefindthefollowing statement:

"TheDocetaeabstainfromtheEu- charistandfromprayerbecausethey refusetorecogniseintheEucharistthe fleshofJesusChrist,OurSaviour;that fleshwhichsufferedforoursins,and whichtheFatherbroughttolifeagain. Itisthusthattheywhorefusethegift ofGodfinddeathintheirvariances. Itwouldbefarbetterforthemto practiseCharitysoastohavepartin theResurrection."

TheyarethewordsofSt.Ignatius, whowasdirectlyconnectedwithSt. PeterintheSeeofAntioch.Penned someeighteenhundredyearsago,they stillretainalltheirpoint.

Theonlydifferencebetweenthe Docetaeandmodernopponentsofthe Eucharististhattheformerarrived attheirnegationthroughdenyingthe HumanityofChrist,whilethelatter arriveatthesameconclusionbyre- jectingHisDivinity.

Itisinterestingtonote,inview ofsubsequenthistory,thatSt.Igna- tiusconsideredtheEucharisttobethe- principleofimmortalityforeachin- dividual,andfortheChurchtheprin- cipleofunityandconcord,Thevery wordsheusesare:"WhereverChrist

Jesus.s,therealsoistheCatholic Church."

HalfacenturyafterthedeathofSt. Ignatius,wefindSt.JustinatRome writinghis"Apologia"indefenceof Catholicdoctrine.Histeachingon theEucharistissimplythis:"Thisnourishmentiscalledamong ustheEucharist.. "Wedonotreceiveitasordinary foodanddrink.Justasbytheword ofGodOurSaviourJesusChristtook fleshandbloodforoursalvatinn,so,by virtueofthewordsofJesusChrist, thefoodoverwhicharepronounced thewordsofprayerandwhichistrans- formedintoourfleshandbloodistruly thefleshandbloodofJesusChrist mademan."

St.Justinwasmartyredforhisopin- ionsatRomein167A.D.,fromwhich ittranspiresthattheEmperor,An- toninusPius,wasinnowayconvinced ofthetruthexpoundedforhisbene- fit.ThattheearlyChristiansatRome believedinTransubstantiationisabun- dantlyevidentfromthemartyr's words.

"OnthedogmaoftheEucharistIreneusexpoundsthewholeCatholicdoe- trineinamannertrulyinsuperable. Heconsidersittheoreticallyandprac- tically.

"Theoretically,itisthecentreofthe entireChristianrevelation,sinceinthe Eucharist,.inthedoctrineoftheSac- ramentoftheBodyandBloodof ChristandoftheRealPresence,theChristianfindsembodiedallthefun- damentaltenetsofhisfaith.Practic- ally,intheSacramentoftheAltar, JesusChristMan-Godistheretruly andsubstantially,andis,consequent- ly,presentamongHisfaithful.Heis thetrueTreeofLifewhocangiveusincorruptibility,theaxisroundwhich revolvestheentireChristianreligion, thepointofdepartureandreturnofall actsdfworship,thecentrifugalforce ofChristianLove."(Franceshini,Pa- trologia,p.129.)
