MODERNCAPITALISM

ThefollowingisasummaryofalecturedeliveredbyRev.E.Cahill,S.J., inDublin,recently.Itisoneofa seriesoflecturesonCatholicSocial Science: TheCapitalisticsystemmay'bedescribedasthepracticalapplicationof theLiberaleconomicteaching.Its unnaturalandunsocialcharacteris apparentfromtheevilswhichithas wrought.Thegreatmaterialdevelopmentsofthepasttwocenturieshave broughtnorelieforimprovementto thetemporalwell-beingofthemasses ofthepeople.Pauperism,unrest, anddegradationareimmeasurably 'moreintenseandwidespreadto-day thantheywereinCatholicmediaeval times:andtheirprevalenceinany givencountrywillbefound,broadly speaking,tobeinproportiontothe prevalencethereoftheCapitalistic system.

InhisEncyclical"OntheConditionoftheWorkingClasses,"Leo XIII.usedthesewordsofthemodern capitalisticsystem:"Theancient workingmen'sguildshavebeenabolished...Publicinstitutionsandthe verylawshavesetasidetheancient religion.Hence,bydegreesithas cometopassthattheworkingmen havebeensurrenderedallisolatedand helplesstothehard-heartednessof employersandthegreedofunchecked competition.Themischief.hasbeen' increasedbyrapacioususurywhich,althoughmorethanoncecondemnedby theChurch,is,nevertheless,undera differentguise,butwithlikeinjustice, stillpractisedbycovetousandgraspingmen.Tothismustbeadded theconcentrationofsomanybranchesoftradeinthehandsofa_fewindividuals;sothatasmallnumberof -eeryrichmenhavebeenabletolay -upontheteemingmassesofthepoor ayokelittlebetterthanthatofslaveryitself."FurtheronthePope writes:"Theresultofcivilchangeand revolutionhasbeentodividesociety ,..ntotwodifferentcastes.Ontheone ski:thereisthepartywhit%holds powerbecauseitholdswealth,which hasinitsgraspthewholeoflabour andtrade,whichmanipulatesforits ownbenefitanditsownpurposesall thesourcesofsupply,andwhichis evenrepresentedinthecouncilsof theStateitself.Ontheotherside thereistheneedyandpowerlessmultitude,brokendownandsufferingand everreadyfordisturbance."These wordswerewrittenbeforethemonopolyofcredithadatainedtoanything approachingtheextremeandtyrannicalconditionswhichprevailto-day.

WhatiscalledtheCapitalisticsys'temofsocialorganisationisthevery reverseoftheChristianideal.In thissystemarelativelysmallclass controlsnearlyalltheproductivepropertyofthecommunity,whilethevast majorityoftheworkingpopulation possessnoproductivepropertyofany kind.HencetheCapitalisticsystem, evenifitmeant-nomorethantheconcentrationofCapitalinthehandsof afew,iscompletelyoutofharmony withthetraditonaltendenciesand idealsofChristianity.Butasamatteroffact,modernCapitalismincludes severalotheressentialtraitswhichare notonlyoutofharmonywiththe Christianideal,butareindirectantagonismwithChristianteaching.

Itisoutsidethescopeofthesestugliestodiscuss.theopposingviews aboutthecientificdefinitionofthe term,.Capitalism.Inanearlierlectureabroaddistinctionwasnotedbetweengoodsofconsumption,suchas foodandclothing,whichserveforthe purposeofdirectlysatisfyingone'simmediateneeds,andproductivegoods, suchasland,machinery,railways,farm stock,which,althoughmeantultimatelytosatisfyhumanneeds,are directlyatilisedratherfortheproduetionofothergoods.Forthepresent purposeCapitalmaybeunderstoodin thegeneralsenseofproductivegoods. Capital,therefore,isanessential4ementintheconductofindustry;and asinnsasthesocialorganisationis baseduponprivateproperty(whichis thesystemwhichhasalwaysobtained,andistheonlysystemconsistent withhumanwell-beingandpeace),individualproprietorswillalwaysown theCapitalofacountry,atleasttoa considerableextent.Thetendencyof theChristiansocialidealhasalways beentofavourtheextensionofprivate

Importantfactorsweretheriseinto importanceofliquidorfluidfunds, andtheloweringoftheprestigeofimmovableproperty,whichbeganinthe 16th.century,andhavecontinuedto develop'downtoourowntimes.The kindofownershipwhichprevailedduringtheMiddleAges-thatoflandand landstock,mines,fisheries,factories, workshops,etc.-isofamoreorless socialkind,anddoesnotlenditselfto individualismasmuchastheownershipofmoney.Thesearticlesofreal propertyneedlabourandcare,and theco-operationofotherstorender themproductive.Owners'andemployeesmustsharetosomeextentin theproduceaswellasinthelabour, andarethusbroughtintomutualcontact,fromwhichspringcommoninterestsandmutualsympathy.Itisvery differentwithmoney,whichisportable,easilyguardedorconcealed,and canbeutilisedwithouttheco-operationofothers.Theownership.of moneydoesnotcarrywithitmanifest socialresponsibilities,norestablish naturaltieswithtenantsorworkers liketheownershipoflandsorworkshops.Moneylentoutatinterestis madetobearfruitorprofitwithout anylabour,evenontheowner'spart.

THE"CONTINUITY"CLAIM

CardinalBournedeclaresthat"no onewhohasreallystudiedandunderstoodthehistoryofthese.martyrscan honestlymaintainthatthereisany realcontinuityofdoctrine,worship, anddisciplinebetweentheElizabethan Church,stilllegally.astablishedinEng land,andtheCatholicChurchsetup amongusbySt.Augustinein957,of whichweCatholics,inunionwiththe ApostolicSee,arethesolelegitimate representativesto-day. Amarked distinctionistobedrawnbetween thosewhosufferedintheschismof HenryVIII.,andthosewhowerethe victimsofthedefiniteheresyofElizabeth.. WhereasunderHenryVIII., JohnFisher(BishopofRochester) alone(amongtheBishops)openlyresistedtheKing'sunlawfuldesigns,in 1559allbutone(Bishop)manfullyresistedtheQueen'sschismatical-and hereticaldesigns:and,inconsequence, theyweredeprivedbyunlawfuland purelycivilmeasures,devoidofany ecclesiasticalsanction,bbthoftheir seesandoftheirpersonalliberty.

"ThusdidtheElizabethanChurch beginbydeliberatelyseveringitself fromtheeclesiasticalhierarchywhich, setupbytheHolyRomanSee,hasexistedinEnglandfromthedaysofSt. AugustineofCanterbury.Intheplace ofthisancienthierarchy,knowntoand recognisedbythewholeWestern Church,thecivilpower,againwithout ecclesiasticalsanctionofanykind,set upaneworderofBishopsunknownto andtothisdaystillunrecognisedby thatsameWesternChurch;andgave tothoseBishopsthussetupbycivil lawaformofconsecrationthevalidity ofwhichhasbeencontestedbythat sameWesternChurchfromthevery beginningofitsuse.This,andthis alone,istheoriginofthepresent ChurchofEngland,whollydistinctand

disseveredfromtheold'EcclesiaAnglicana,'orCatholicChurchinEngland,fornighathousandyearsoneof thegloriesoftheWesternChurch;and stillatthisday,aftersomuchpersecutionandsomanyvicissitudes,noun. worth"memberofthatworld-widetrue ChurchofJesusChrist."

ThePastoralLetteraddsthatthe siikteenBishops,all,ofcourse,Catholic Bishops,inpossessionoftheirsees underQueenElizabeth,"bravelyre sistedthehereticaldemandsofthe Queen,withtheoneexceptionofAntonyKitchen,ofKlandaff.Theysteadfastlyrefusedtotakethesacrilegious oathacknowledgingtheRoyalsupremacy,andwereinconsequencedeposed, sofarascivillawcouldaccomplish theirdeposition,andruthlesslythrust outoftheirsees.ThuswastheElizabethChurchbroughtintobeing, againstthewillandinspiteofthedirectoppositionofthewholeexisting CatholicepiscopatewiththeexceptionofonesolitaryBishop.Ithas thusnoconnectionofanykindwith theoldhierarchyofEngland.

"HavingdisposedoftheCatholic Bishops Elizabeth,stillinvirtueof thecivilauthorityandwithoutecclesiasticalauthorityofanyrecognised kind,,proceededtocreate;setup,and organiseherownChurch,theProtestantEstablishedChurchofEngland. Sheimaginedthatbyintimidation, flattery,orcajoleryshewouldgraduallywinoverthenationtoacquiescenceinhernewly-foundformsofworshipandChurchorder."

TheCardinalrecallstwoevents whichwere"toshatterthehopesand dreamsthatthisimperiouswomancaressed."TheseweretheestablishmentbyWilliamAllen,oftheEnglish CollegeatDouai,in1588,andtheexcommunicationofElizabethbyPius V..in1570.Whereasinsomeother northernlandstheCatholicpriesthood becamepracticallyextinct,inEngland, owingtoAllen'sforesight,"fromthen tillnowinever-growingnumbers thatsacredandvalidministryof God'sChurchhasalwaysbeenaliving activeforce.WithinfiveyearsAllen wasabletosendalmostonehundred newlyordainedCatholicprieststosave thefaithinEngland."
