ConspiracyofSilence.

Therearecertainrightswhichform thecommonheritageofallhumanity -therearecertainlibertiesintheguardianshipofwhichthewholegroutof civilisednationsareinterested.Nothing ismoreclearlysignificantthanthat conspiracyofsilenceorganisedbythe greatPressinternationalsconcerning thepersecutionoftheMexicanCatholics.Inthiscowardlysilencethe BelgianCatholicsaredeterminednot tobeaccomplices.

WhatthePopeHasSaid.

InhisConsistorialAllocutionofDecember29lastyear,theSovereignPone tiffdoesnothesitatetoaffirmthatthe braveMexicanpeoplearebeingtreatedbytheirpresentGovernment"as slavesandcriminalsundertheguise andinthenameoflaws,whichhave nothingincommon'withlawbutthe name,becausetheyareinopencontradictiontoallrightsbothhumanand divine."

DrivingGodFromtheSchools.

Article130oftheConstitutionadds thattheministersofreligionaredeprivedoflegalcapacityofinheriting nutonlyfromanotherministerofre, ligion,butevenfromanyindividual whoisnotanearrelative.Itper tainstothedifferentStatesoftheConfederationtofixthemaximumnumberofprieststobetoleratedintheir territory.

ByvirtueofArticle15ofthelaw ofJune15,1926,thosewhogivetoa politicalassociationatitlethatrecalls anyreligiousbeliefarepunishableby imprisonmentandfine.

Article22decidesthatallchurches arethepropertyofthenation,andthe Governmentshalldecidehowmanyof themshallcontinueto.beusedforthe purposeofreligion.Asregardthe housesofBishops,presbyteries,seminaries,convents,colleges,andallother edificesofreligiouscharacter,theyfall bylawunderthedirectcontrolofthe nationsoastobeappropriatedexclusivelyforpublicservices.

AlthoughArticle7oftheConstitutionguaranteesthelibertyofthe Press,thatlibertyisinpracticedenied toCatholicsbySection9ofArticle30, bywhichtheyareforbidentocriticise thefun-unions-youunderstandme, mydearcolleagues-eveninprivatereunionstheyareforbiddentocriticise thefundamentallawsofthecountry, theauthorities,or,ingeneral,whatsoeverisdonebytheGovernment.Who amongstyou,gentlemen,couldimagineaBelgiumwhereitwasforbidden tocriticisetheGovernment?(Laughter.) TheBishopsStatetheTruth.

InanadmirablePastoralLetter, signedbytheentireepiscopateofthe UnitedStates,wefindacompletehistoricalexpositionoftheMexicanpersecution.Initmorethanahundred ArchbishopsandBishopsaffirm,with, outfearofcontraditionthatthese abominablelawsarenottheexpression ofthewillofthemajorityofthepeople,butthepalpableresultofviolence andfraud."Suffrageisnotrespected inMexico,"writestheseprelates;"it doesnotaffecttheGovernment.Few citizenshaverecoursetoitbecause theirvotesareonlycountedwhenthey voteinfavourofthoseinpower,or whentheGovernmentconsentstoadmittheexistenceofasmallminority." AfteralengthyrefutationofthecalumniesbywhichtheMexicanGovernmentmakesatravestyofthetruth, andthusendeavourstodeceivepublic opinion,theBishopsadd:"Wehave givenyouthefacts;wehavedefended truth;wehaveexpoundedtheprinciples.andthushavingwarnedChristiancivilisationthatitsveryfundamentalsareattackedandundermined.ourdutyisaccomplished."

Whenprelatessowidelyappreciated intheUnitedStates,withthreeCardinalsattheirhead,makesuchapronouncement,mustwenotadmit,gentlemen,that.thequestionofanyloyal or,disinterestedmanisdecided? ShouldIremindyounowthatthisincrediblelegislationhasbeencarriedout andsanctionedwithayetmoreincrediblecruelty.

BishopsVindicateTheirAction.

Tothisassertion,publishedbythe -OfficialBulletinoftheNecessityof War,"theepiscopaterepliedbyacollectiveletterdatedDecember22,1926.

"Theseaccusations,"writetheBishops,"aremadeupoffalsehoodsand calumnies."Theofficialdocuments issuedbytheepiscopaterecommend Catholicstolimitthemselvestolegal andpeacefulmeans.Publicopinion caneverywheretestifytothetruthof this.Weseekbutthereformoflaws accordingtotheinviolablerightsof theConstitutionaccordedtoallthe citizens.Incertaincases,itistrue, Catholictheologiansproclaimtheright, notofrebellion,butofarmeddefence againstaggressivetyrannywhen'all peacefulmeanshavebeentriedin vain.Yettherehasnotbeenissued bytheepiscopateasinglewordin hicktheyhaveaffirmedthattheactualsituationin'Mexicomakessuch armeddefencelawful.

ThePrimatepublishedonMay1, 1927,anaccountofhisinterviewof April2withtheMinisterofInternal Affairs.TheArchbishoprecallsthe conversationwiththeMinisterinthe followingwords:-

"Sir,theepiscopatehasclearlydeniedanyresponsibilityfortherevolution,butitisnotits,officetodispute withlaymentheirrightofself-defence againstunjustaggression,especially whennolegalmeansremaintodefend* theirpersonalrights."

"Butthatisrebelan."

"Thatisnotrebellion,butlegitimate defenceagainstunjustifiabletyranny."

"Pardon,itisfailingtorecognise legalauthority."

"Thewholeworldknows,"replied theArchbishop,"whatismeantby thesemockeriesofelectoralassemblies whichputthepowerintoyourhands."

ProcessionsandQbsessions

ByJ.S.Woods-Costyn.

Havingreadwithpleasurethereport ofyourMelbournecorrespondenton theProcessionoftheBlessedSacrament,heldatFitzroy,andhavinghad theprivilegeofbeingpresent'atthat procession,Iammovedtomakeafew remarkstosupplementyourcorrespondent'sreport.

Firstly,Iamnotalittlesurprised thatnoCatholicpaperthatIknowof hastakenthetroubletocorrectthe wrongideaofthe"Elevationofthe Host,"allegedtobetheprincipalobjedtiontotheholdingofthegreatprocessioninSydney,inconnectionwith theEucharisticCongress.

EveryCatholicknows,andwemight, surely,passontheinformationto otherpeople,thattheEleyationofthe HostispartoftheMass,neverperformedoutsideoftheMass,andphysicallyimpossibleofperformanceina movingprocession.Apriestcould notperformanyceremonyknownto Catholicpractice,oreventoCatholic phraseology,asthe"Elevationofthe Host,"apartfromtheMass.Aswe allknow,itisusualtospeaksimplyof the"Elevation."

TheraisingoftheHost,intheform ofblessingovereachcommunicant,is neverspokenofasanelevation, neitheristhemoresolemnblessing givenatBenediction(thisistautological,astheBenedictionisthe'blessing) isnotevenreferredtoasthe"ElevationoftheHost."

Itwouldbepossibleforapriestto performthe"ElevationoftheHost" inaprocessionifhewereaccommodatedwithanaltaronalarge,steady, movingplatform,andcouldcelebrate Mass,butanybodywhoisacquainted withCatholicpractice,knowsthatthis isunthinkablefromthepointofview ofregularity.Itsimplywouldnot beallowed,andnobodyeverthought ofsuggestingit.

TheRev,Albiston,whomyourcorrespondentwasconcernedwith,made agreatmouthfulinhisaddressat Prahranaboutthe"Elevationofthe Host,"butitwasallinignoranceof whatitmeans.Mr.Albistonisby nomeansanhopelessbigot,heisthe headoftheProtestantFederation, andspokemoderately,consideringhis unfoundedapprehensions.Mr.Albistonsaid:''FatherMcLaughlinsays, thattheBlessedEucharististheSacramentinwhichJesusChristispre. sent.truly,reallyandsubstantially."

IfthereisapriestnamedFather McLaughlin.hemustsurelyhavesaid thatthousandsoftimes;butIcan't imaginewhyhewasquoted.Father Smith.andFatherJones.andFather Robinson,andalltherestofthem havesaidthat,andwillcontinueto sayitto''theendofend."Mr.Albistonwouldhavemadeabetterhitby sayingthattheparishpriestof Prahransaidit;butashedidnot quotetheP.P.ofPrahran,probably thereasonisthathethoughtFather McLaughlintobea"whiteblackbird" amongtheCatholicpriesthood,and thathis"extremeviews"wouldberepudiatedbyMelbournepriests,andwe shouldhaveawranglingcontroversy goingontodiscredittheCongressand theChurch.

But,ofcourse,nothinghappened, forFatherMcLaughlinswordsexpressedsimplyandterselythefaith oftheChurch.

Therewasathreatattheendof theaddressofRev.Albistonwhichno sensibleCatholicshouldbeangrywith, thatifitwerepersistedin.inholding theprocession,that"fromathousand pulpitsthroughoutthelandwouldbe !oldthetaleoftheProtestantmartyrswhodie4tobringfreedomto CatholicsandProtestantsalike."

Peoplewhohadneverseenacelebrantwithdeaconandsub-deacondid notknowwhattoexpect,andthey said(Iheardthem)inreverentwhispers:"That'sDr.Mannix,"and."Is thatDr.Mannix?It'sthefirsttime I'veseenhim,"andthey-lookedfor thefirsttimeintheirlivesattheexpressiononthefaceofapriest,who, accordingtotheRomanRitual,walks recollectedandunmindfulofanything elseforthewhile-theshortwhile,that inadifferentsensetoSt.Paul'smeaning,hislifeis"hiddenwithChristin God."Onegirlsaidtoanother: "Whatlovelyrobes!"Theanswerwas, "Yes,letmesee,whitesatin;isn'tit lovely?"Twoveryoldwomenstared straightandhardattheMonstrance.

ItisnotgenerallyknownthatIrelandhasplayedanimportantpartin theworld'sgreatmusicalachievements,writesJosephineSmithina "Special"forthe"IrishWorld."

Thebardicschools,seatsoflearning wheremusicandpoetryweretaught totheyouthofIrelandwereancient institutionswhenSt.Patrickcame. AccordingtosomeoftheIrish Visions,likethoseofAdhamhnAn,the ministeringangelschantedmusicof ineffablesweetnessfortheGloryof God. WhenConnorMacNessawas King(abouttheperiodwheretheOld TestamentendsandtheNewTestamentbegins),musicandsingingwere common.MinstrelsandHarperslulled Connorandhisfollowerstosleepafter battle.AfterSt.PatrickhadchristianisedIrelandthechurchpatronised music.WelearnfromtheLivesof theSaints,thatIrishmissionariescarriedaharpduringtheirwanderingsin foreignlands.ThusIrishmusicbecameknownandfamedalloverEurope.Maongalwasappointedheadof themusicschQolofSt.GallinGermany.Tuathal,hispupil,wasalsoa successor,andamorebrilliantmusicianeventhanhisfamousteacher.

TheancientIrishmusicianshad threestyles:merriment,lamentation andsoothinglullaby.GiraldusCambrensis,whoheardthemin1185,said: "Theyareincomparablymoreskilful thanthoseofanyothernationIhave everseenorheard."

Whenourauthorfirstbegantostudy thehistoryoftheCelticChurchin theseislands,hewas"stronglybiassed" infavourofthetheorythattheCeltic ChurchwasindependentofRome; "notmerelythatitwastoagreatextentlefttomanageitsaffairsinits ownway,butthatitrejectedthe claimoftheBishopofRometobe, tinderChrist,theChiefPastorofthe wholeflockofChristonearth,thevisibleHeadofthevisible'Church."Here seehaveoneoftheeminentlysane remarkswhichrecurconstantly throughMr.McNaught'svolume.He realisesthattheCelticChurch"wasto agreatextentlefttomanageitsaffairs initsownway;"inthecircumstances oftimeandplace,thiswasinevitable. Nothingcouldbemorenatural.

Certainly,Iknowofnothingfiner, evenfromaCatholicpen,thanMr. McNaught'scalm,scholarlydemonstrationofthefactthattheCeltic Church,whetherinIrelandorScotland,inEnglandorWales,wasalways inunionwiththeHoly'See.Hisbook isamodelofurbanity,quiteuncontroversialintone,fullofsweetreasonableness,anddisplayinganabundanceof criticalscholarship,aswellasacommendableeconomyofwords.The listofworks1ProtestantandCatholic alike)whichhehaspatientlystudied, runstofourpages;andtheonlywonderis,howtheministerofaremote Scottishvillagecouldhavemanagedto borroworbuysomanyvolumeson hisfavouritesubject.Assuredlyhe hasmadegooduseofthem;thereisno signofhasteorcarelessnessinhis writing;heseeshissubjectsteadily andseesitwhole.Everynowand then,heindulgesinarevealinglittle flash,whichthrowsafloodoflighton thetopicwithwhichheisdealing.

Thus,afterprovingthatSt.Columba wasaccustomedtooffertheholysac. rificeoftheMass,:lecontinues:-

"FromthefirstintroductionofChris. tianityintotheseislandsdowntothe timeoftheProtestantReformation, theMasscontinuedtobetheChurch's supremeactofworship,andthecentre ofherdevotionallife.TheReformers,whiletheysucceededinabolishing somerealabuses,destroyedalsomuch oftheedificeoffaithand.worship erectedbySS.Ninian,Kentigernand Columba.Theythrewdownthealtars,andsubstitutedforthemtables fortheadministrationoftheLord's Supper.TothemtheMasswassomethingabhorrent,ablasphemousand idolatrousrite.Iftheirdoctrinewas true,Columba,everytimehewentup tothealtartocelebrate'thepuremysteriesofthesacredoffering,'committed theheinoussinsofblasphemyand idolatry.IftheReformerswere preachersofthepureGospel,Columba assuredlywasaperverterofthetruth, who,hadhebeenlivinginScotland undertheregimeofJohnKnox,would havefoundhimselfliabletobeputto deathasamass-priest."
