ThroughStrangePaths (ContinuedfromPage2.)

ThePapacy.

Fromhistorytheenquirerlearnt thattheSeeofPeterhadbeenmarvellouslypreservedfromerrorinits pronouncementsonmattersofbelief, also,thatitwastheworld'schiefbulwark,asnootherecclesiasticalcentre hadevenpretendedtobe,fromthe evilsofanarrownationalism.Atthe councilsoftheChurchmenofallnationshadmet;athertribunalsappellants,eventhehumblest,fromall lands,hadreceivedpatienthearing; hereyeshadbeenuponallpartsof theworldtodefendjustice,torepress iniquityandtoencouragepiety. HowdomattersstandatthepresentdaybetweenRomeandher would-berivals?Zacharias,keenly alivetothesocialandpoliticalfacts andmovementsofhistime,compared theutterancesandactionsoftheCatholicChurchontheonehandandof dissidentsectsandtheirchiefsonthe otherwithregardtothebigandurgentquestionsofthetime-divorce, birth-controlandthelike;andsaw ontheonesidefirmnessandconsistency,ontheotherflabbinessandselfcontradiction.Hecontrastedthe partsplayedbythetwocontesting forcesinthedeepandtryingproblems posedbytheGreatWaranditsconsequences,andrecognisedintheSeeof Peter,attheheadoftheChurch,the onepower,trulyinternationalandeffective,thatcangivepeacetothe world.

PapalInfallibility.

Thus,then,hadlogicandhistory combinedtoleadthewandererupto thedoctrineofPapalinfallibility-By inductivereason,fromthefactsofhistory',hesawtheChurchinitsvisible headmarvellouslypreservedfromerrorandenabledtoguidemensafely throughtemporalpeacetoeternalsalvation.Bydeductivereason,from thenotionofadivinelygivenreligion,hesawthattheChurchmust teachdogmaticallytheninfalliblyand ifinfalliblythenbyasinglesupremely-authorisedvoice."Ifthetrumpet giveanuncertainsoundwhoshallpre. parehimselfforbattle?"'TheChurch's trumpetisthevoiceoftheHolySee. ThevoiceoftheHolySeemustbeunhesitating,mustcompel,asfarasthe occasionrequireobedienceandsubmission.

Conversion.

Thepilgrim'slongjourneytofind thecentreoftruthwasnowended.It onlyremainedtocasthimselfintothe armsoftheMotherandMistresshe hadfound.OnHolySaturday,1926, Dr.Zachariaswasreceivedintothe ChurchintheChapeloftheJesuit HouseofStudies,Kurseong,Bengal.
