OntheverydaywhenthisEncyclical-onUnionwas"released"inRome, apamphletwaspublishedinLondon entitled"NotesontheConversations atMalines,1921-25:PointsofAgreement."ItsauthorisViscountHalifax. Ofthispamphletwepropose,inthe interestsofreligiouspeace,tosayas littleaspossible.Itappearstous tobeonelong-drawnimpropriety;but wethinkwemaysafelyleavecertain livingdivineswhoarenamedinitto makeappropriatedeclarations.The rightcoursewillalsobefollowed,we expect,bysomeparticipantsintheMalinesConversationswhoarenotexplicitlymentionedbyLordHalifax, butwhosetheologicalviewsaresummarisedbyhislordshipinasurprising manner.

Itisonlybecauseoursilencemight beinterpretedasassentthatwealludetooneortwospecificstatements bytheViscount.LordHalifaxblames CatholicEditorsforcompellinganold

mantomakealongjourneytoRome inwinter.Hedecidedtovisitthe EternalCity,"toascertainthefacts," largelybecauseof"theattitudeofthe EnglishRomanCatholicPress,which seemedtobejealousoftheinterest CardinalMercierhadtakeninEnglish affairsiregardingReunion."

Tothisuncharitable,provocativeand unjustremarkwewillreplywithout heat.NoEnglishCatholicjournalist isnoworhaseverbeenjealousofCardinalMercier'sinterestinEnglishaffairs.ThelateArchbishopofMalines wasagreatBishop,anadmirable scholarandatruepatriotonwhose tombwehavelaidourcrownoflaurels:buthisinterventioninEnglish andIrishaffairsrevealedhislimitations.Whyshouldwebejealous?

TheBelgianHierarchyconsistsof learned,piousandzealousBishops; andsodoe'stheEnglish.ItsPrimate wasworthyofhisprimacy;andsois theCardinalArchbishopofWestminster,whowouldbethewrongmanfor hisexaltedpositionifhedidnotunderstandEnglishecclesiasticalaffairs betterthananyforeignprelate.Our onlyjealousyisforCardinalMercier's memory,whichLordHalifax,ifweare tojudgehimbyhispamphlet,holds lightly.

CardinalMerciergenerouslycompro misedhisreputationforprudencewhen heansweredLordHalifax'sknockat hisdoor.Knowingmorethanalittle aboutHisEminence,wedOnothesitatetosaythatCardinalMercierwould nothaveconversedwithAnglicansif hehadforeseenthattheConversations wouldbemadesubservienttothe ChurchofEngland'sdomesticpolitics. Vetthisiswhathashappened.Inhis pamphlet(pp.3,4)LordHalifax says:

"OnmyreturntoEngland,boththe EnglishandFrenchReportswhichhad beenforsometimeintheprinter's hands,wouldhavebeenpublishedhad nottheArchbishopofCanterbury wishedthepublicationpostponedtill theRevisedPrayerBookhadbeen submittedtoParliament.Another postponementofuncertainlengthhas beenoccasionedbytherejectionofthe PrayerBookMeasure."

WeeksbeforethemeasurewasdebatedbytheLordsandCommons.the Editorof"TheTablet"wrotetothe Editorof"TheTimes"franklyregrettingthattheMalinesReportwasapparentlybeingheldbacktosuitthe Parliamentarystrategyofthenew Book'schampions.Throughoutthe weekfollowingthepublicationofthis letter,"TheTablet's"Editorwasthe recipientoflettersfromAnglicansdis daininghimasapersonofcrooked mind.Hewasassuredthatthenotionofsomeconnectionbetweenthe MalinesReportandthePrayerBook stretegywasamaliciousoutcome fromanuncharitableandmeanbrain.

Andnowwefindthat''TheTablet's" guesswasright.

Beforepassingfromthispamphlet byLordHalifax,wemusttakenoteof itsomissions.TheIntroductionis datedaslateas"theFeastofthe Epiphany"-onlyaweekago.ThereforeLordHalifaxwasawareof"The Tablet's"complaintthathislordship hadattributedtothispaperastatementwhichithadnevermade.Further,theViscountknewallaboutthe badbusinessofthe"ChurchQuarterly Review,'"whichhadopeneditscolumnstoaGermanProtestant'sblundersabouttheMalinesReportandto themonstrousstatementthatEnglish RomanCatholicshadbeenrebukedby theHolySeefortheirlackofcharity towardsAnglicans.Fromneitherof theseuntruthsdoesLordHalifaxdissociatehimself.

Valuabletime,however,maybesavedthroughtheissueofthisHalifax pamphlet.Wehintedlastweekthat theMalinesReporthasoverstayedthe market.Ifitweretobelaidonour deskto-morrowmorning,weshouldnot feelabletoacceptanyofitsstatementswithoutverification;which meansthatCardinalMercier'smemory hasbeendishonoured.Whenitcomes' out,itmaycallfornotmorethanpassingmention.

TheAargaupoliceconfiscatedthis pamphlet,andthecantonalgovernmentcouncilupheldthem,pointingto whatittermedrevolutionaryandnihilisticpassagesinthebooklet.

TheReasonWhy

Rev.Dr.PeterGuilday,ProfessorofChurchHistoryattheCatholicUniversityofAmerica,writingon"TheCatholicQuestion"intheUnitedStates, whichissomewhatanalagoustotheCatholicquestioninthiscountry,notes that:

"InthelonglineofbattlebetweentheopposingforcesofProtestantism andCatholicism,thetwoarmieshavefoughttheirbloodiestbattlesnotat anydoctrinalpointbutupon.thefieldofdivergentpoliticalstandpoints.Essentially,ProtestantismisaStatereligion;itisnationalistic,intolerantly boundupwiththeStategovernment.Catholicism'scapitalsinintheeyesof aProtestantgovernmentisthatitisinternationalinitsreligionandinits administration.InEnglishspeakingcountries,asCarltonJ.H.Hayeshas pointedoutit1his"EssaysonNationalism,"anti-Catholicismhaschieflybeen LasedupontheinherentdreadProtestantismhaseverhadfortheinternatonalorsuper-nationalinfluencewhichradiatesfromRomeoutacrossnationalborders.SincetheclaysofQueenElizabeth,"hewrites,"ithasbeen thefeelingandinmostconvictionofgenerationaftergenerationofEnglishmen.Scotsmen,andAmericansthatCatholicscannotbegoodcitizens,and thisfeelinghaSfoundrepeatedexpressionnotonlyinthepenallawsofthe seevnteenthandeighteenthcenturies,butintheGordonriots,the'no-popery' demonstrations,theactivitiesoftheBritishKensitites,andthepropaganda ofahordeofAmericansocieties-theKnow-NothingParty,theAmerican ProtectiveAssociation,theKuKluxKlan,etc.Itisdifficult,indeedimpossible.forafair-mindedscholartofindinthehistoryofthelastthreehundred yearsanyoccasiononwhichtheCatholicminorityamongthesenationalities havelaggedbehindtheirfellowcitizensinthedischargeofcivicobligations; invariablytheyhavewillinglybornetheirproportionatepartoflossesofblood andtreasureinthenationalwarsoftheirrespectivecountries.Yetto-day CatholicsinEngland,Scotland.andtheUnitedStates,thoughtheyarelegally tolerated,areobjectsofpopularsuspicionsometimesvictimsofsocialostracismandpoliticalandeducationaldiscrimination,andalwaystargetsforvilificationbyprofessionalitinerantlecturersandbycheapandwidelycirculated publications.JustasBritishersstillthinkitimportanttoretainthelegal prescriptionthattheirking,whohasnopower.shallhea'faithfulProtestant: SOasufficientnumberofAmericanscanbecountedontouniteatamoment'snoticetopreventthegreatpowersofthepresidencyoftheUnited StatesfrombeingwieldedbyaCatholicAmerican." *

OntheoriginofProtestantismDr.Guildaywrites:Essentially,Protestantismwasaprotest---aprotestoriginallydirectedagainstcertainpoliticaldisn'erswhichh:.dcreptintotheCatholicChurch;later,itbecameaprotest againstcertainCatholicdoctrinesorarticlesoffaith;andlaterstill,aformal protestissuedattheDietofSpeyer(1529)againstfurthertolerancebeing grantedtoCatholicsinallthoselandswhichhadgoneovertotheReformation.Itwasatthistimethatthename"Protestant"aroseAndtheprotest itselfmeantpracticallythis:NoCatholicprinceorlordwastobepermitted tohindertheprogressoftheReformedreligionwithinhisownterritory;no Protestantprincecouldbecompelledtograntpoliticalandreligiousequality toCatholicsinhisownland.

-TocomenowtoEngland,continuesDr.Guilday.Withthepassage ofthetwoActsofSupremacyandUniformityin1559,QueenElizabeth'sgovernmentaccomplishedtwothings:first,theygavetotheQueensupremejurisdictioninreligiousaffairs;andsecond,theystandardisedreligiousworship -anddisciplineinaccordancewiththeviewsoftheEdwardinereformers.The immediateeffectofthetwoActswastomakethenewly-establishedChurch ofEnglandadepartmentofthegovernmentandtooutlawtheCatholicFaith intherealm.HowtheCatholicssufferedunderthelegaldisabilitiescreated bytheActsdoesnotenterintoourstory.Weareinterestedchieflyinthe factthatthenewEnglishChurchwasakindofcompromisemadeupofCatholicandProtestantfactors.Thisreligiouscompromisewasnotsatisfactory toonegroupintheAnglicanChurch.andtheoppositionthuscreatedhas lasteduntilourowndayandisintimatelyconnectedwithmostofthepoll-, ticalhistoryofGreatBritain'andIreland. * *

Therewaspresent,therefore,atthebirthoftheAnglicanChurchagroup, ofProtestantswhoweredeterminedtocarrytheprinciplesoftheReforma tiontothebitterendinEngland.TheirpurpokwastoridtheEstablished Churchofeveryvestigeofworshipanddisciplinewhichinanywaymightre calltheCatholicdaysofyore.Throughtheirefforts,theChurchofEnglandwastobe"purified"ofalllingering"Popish"elements,andtheepiscopal systemofChurchgovernmentwastobesupplantedbyCalvin'smoredemocraticsystemofcongregationaladministration.ThediscontentedProtestants whowishedtoeffectthesechangeswhilstremainingmembersoftheState Church,wereoffensivelycalledPuritans.Therewereotherswhorebelled againstthecloseunionofChurchandStatesetupbytheActsof1559.These latterseparatedfromtheAnglicancommunionandwerecalledIndependents SeparatistsandlaterCorn_regationalists" *

THECHURCHOFCHRIST.

TheBishopsoftheChurcharethe truesuccessorsoftheApostles. Itisadoctrineoffaith,definedby theCouncilofTrent,thatthebishops oftheChurcharethetrueandlegitimatesuccessorsoftheApostles: "WhereforetheholySynoddeclares thatbesidestheotherecclesiastical grades,bishopsinparticularbelongto thehierarchialorder,sincetheysucceededtotheplaceoftheApostles andwereplaced,astheApostlesays, bytheHolyGhosttoruletheChurch ofGod.'

ThetestimonyofSt.Irenaeusisespeciallyvaluableinsupportofthis doctrioftheChurch,becausehewas adiscileofSt.JohntheApostle.He saysthathehadheardPolycarptell ofhisrelationswithJohntheApostle andwithotherswhohadseentheLord, andthathehadlearnedmuchfrom themconcerningtheLord,Hismiracles andteaching.Withsuchopportunities forknowingtheteachingofChristand theApostles,St.Irenaeuswrote:"We areinpositiontoreckonupthosewho werebytheApostlesinstitutedbishopsinthechurches,andtodemonstratethesuccessionofthesemento ourowntimes. TheApostleswere desirousthatthesemenshouldbevery perfectandblamelessinallthings, whomalsotheywereleavingastheir successors,deliveringuptheirown

placeofgovernmenttothem."

TestimonyfromtheApodtleaand earlyFathersprovethattheywere recognisedassuchfromtheearliest yearsoftheChurch.Now,itismanifestlyimpossibleforanybodyofmen toobtainrecognitionassuccessorsof theApostlesfromtheverybeginning oftheChurch.andmaintainthatpositionundisputedforsixteencenturies, unlesstheywereinfactwhatthey claimedtome-truesuccessors.Any otherhypothesiswouldmeanthatthe Church,asChristfoundedit,ceasedto existwiththedeathoftheApostles, andthattheworldhassincebeenwithoutthemeansofsalvation;itwould meanthatChristfailedinHispromise tobewiththeChurchalldays,evento theconsummationoftheworld.

IfthebishopsoftheChurchare notthesuccessorsoftheApostles,then therearenosuccessors,fornooneelse hasevenclaimedthisdistinction;in thatcasethepower'andauthority committedtotheApostleshavelapsed, andcannotberenewed,exceptbya directinterventionofChristinconferringthemanewandre-establishHis Church.Suchanactonthepartof Christwouldhavetobeconfirmedby theperformanceofmiraclesastheonly -meansbywhichwecouldbeassured ofitsreality.
