,ThePaulistFathersandthe"CatholicWorld"

Dr.PeterGuilday,inanexcellent seriesofarticleson"TheCatholic QuestionintheUnitedStates,"gives amostappreciativenoticetothatwonderfulReligiousOrderwhichinthe ProvidenceofGodhasdoneremarkableworkfortheChurchandthesalvationofsouls-thePaulistFathers, foundedbythegreatAmericanconvert,IsaacHecker.

ScarcelyanyoneeventinthehistoryoftheCatholicChurchinthe UnitedStatesseemsmoresurelythe actionofDivineProvidencethanthe foundationofthePaulists.Theycame intoexistenceasaseparatecongregationinthosestirringyearsimmediately beforetheoutbreakoftheCivilWar, whenitlookedtoall,high-andlow alikeinthenation,asiftheunity createdbytheFoundersoftheFederal Constitutionwasatlasttobedissolved.Theircommunitywasfoundedin 1858,duringoneofthoseperiodiclulls whichcomefromtimetotimeinthe anti-Catholicagitationsofourcountry. Butthedistingishedconvertsfrom Protestantismwhogatheredaround Hecker-Hewit,Walworth,Bakerand Deshon-knewtoowell,touseBrownsonwords,thatinsuchalullmany Catholicsseemedtobepossessed"with anundefinednotionthatthepeople whomadethePenalLawsandexecutedthemhavebecomeimbuedwitha milderspirittowardtheChurch;that know-nothingismwasathingofthe past,thevirtueofthecryof'NoPopery'dissipated,andthefellspiritof Native-Americanpartyutterlyextinct." Themembersofthenewcommunity -America'sffrstgifttothegreatlegacyofreligiousordersandcongregationsintheChurch-hadastheexternallabouroftheirruletheconversion ofnon-CatholicsintheUnitedStates. Convertstherehadbeeningreatnum. bersfromlatercolonialtimesdown totheyearofthePaulistfoundation, butnoconcertedandsystematised efforttobringtheFaithtotheminds andhearts,ofnon-CatholicAmerica hadbeentriedbefore.Thetaskwas averydifficultone.Herewasagroup ofpriestswhohadbeenProtestants goingoutintothemissionaryfieldto preachCatholicdoctrinetothoseoutsidetheChurch.Notenoughhas beenmadeofthefactthattheirvery knowledgeoftheerrorsandpitifulin-

consistenciesofProtestantismledthem toseeandtoappreciatethemorehighlytheblessingofdogmaticCatholic faith.

Catholicteachinginitsentiretywas sacredtothesepioneerswhobelieved thatthetimehadcomeatlastto bringlightintotheever-darkeningreligiousfoldofProtestantism.They soughtnothingnovelincarryingout theitmission.Buttheydidstrikea newnoteinCatholicapologeticsinthe country;theyweredeterminedto carryintothecampoftheenemy-it isdifficulttofindakindlierwordfor thosewhohadbeenattackingthe Churchso'viciouslyuptothattimetocarryintotheenemy'scampthelessonthatnotonlycouldaCatholicbe agoodAmerican,butthatheought tobeamongthebestAmericansinpatrioticloveforourcountrybecauseof hisCatholicism.Likewise,Father Hecker'spreachingbroughtapregnant messagetoCatholicsthemselvesnamely,thattheUnitedStates,consideringthepoliticalandeconomicconditionoftheworld,offeredaparticularly attractiveopportunityforthespread ofCatholictruthandfortheaccept. anceoftheCatholicFaith.

Itiswelltostressthesepointsfor .thereasonthattheyarethemotive forcebackofthecreationof"TheCatholicWorld"in1865.Theclaimis made,andwithjustness,thatnowhere canastronger,moreenlightened,more appreciativedefenseofCatholictruth, orCatholicinterests,andofCatholic politicalphilosophybefoundthanin theissuesof"TheCatholicWorld." ThisoldestofoursurvivingCatholic Monthlymagazines,indeeditisthe thirdoldestmagazineinAmerica,was beguninaspiritofmutuallovefor Godandcountry:forChurchand State.FatherHeckertaughtnonew doctrinenoranynewadaptationof thatdoctrineinthisdifficultquestion oftherelationsbetweentheyoung StateandtheancientChurch.But hedidrealise,asthebestmindsin theChurchherehavealwaysrealised, thatinthedoctrinesandinthemoral disciplineofthe'CatholicFaithAmericanaspirationsandidealswouldfind theirsurestfoundationandtheironly securesupport.Thiswastobethe messageof"TheCatholicWorld,"especiallyduringtheyearsofHecker's editorship(1865-1888).

"NotesforTeachersandExaminers" makesitsfirstappealtotheteachers. "AllCatholicteacherswhoarechargedwiththenobleworkofteachingand trainingtheyouthofoursecondary schoolsshould,inthefirstplace,under Divineguidance,formloftyideasof thenatureof'theworkonwhichthey areengaged;theywillrealisethatit isasupernaturalwork,aco-operation, infact,withChristandHisChurch inthegreatworkofsavingsouls.Their firstpreparationistobeferventprayer-theywillstrivetomakeitalabouroflovebyfrequentandfervent prayer.Theirfirstdutyistoteach byexample.Moreover,bearingin mindtheenormousinfluenceofpersonalexample,theywillendeavour, byconformingtheirlivestothatof theirDivineMaster,toexemplifyin theirpersonsthevirtueswhichtheyincillsate,andthelessonswhichtheyimparttotheirpupils."IntheprofessionaltrainingoffutureCatechiststhe Bishopsarewiseinprescribingacourse oftheologyforthealreadytrained teacher,andacourseofpedagogyfor thetheologians."Inorderthatan adequatesupplyofhighlyqualfiied teachersmaybeprovidedandmaintainedintheschools,forasubjectof suchparamountimportanceinthese days,itwillbenecessarythattheybe speciallyselectedinthefirstinstance, andthattheyreceivespecialtraining throughsummercoursesorotherwise.

Thewholeofthedelegation,said hisGrace,wasleavingAustraliawith themostkindlyandaffectionatememoriesandadmiritionforthewonderful generosity,kindness,andcourtesyof theAustralianpeople.Thesequalities, hisGracethought,wereunrivalledanywhereintheworld.SincethepreviousvisittoTownsville,madeonthe journeytoBrisbane.thedelegationhad visitedSydney,Melbourne,Canberra, Goulburn,andBrisbane,andinevery placefoundthesamesplendidcharacteristicsoftheAustralianpeople.Althoughthedelegationdidnotcometo Australiapreparedfortherathersharp weatherwhichgreeteditinMelbourne, itsmemberswere,onthewhole,delightedwiththeAustralianclimate.

WhatChineseFear TheAuthorityofthePope

ThepresentsituationinChina,as revealedbyaprelateofmanyyears' experience,isstillunsettled.While theleadersoftheSouthernArmyusuallyhavebeenrespectfulofChurch propertyandrights,thesoldiersstill continuetheiranti-foreignandantiChristianattitude.Theprelatesees intheorientalisationoftheChurch architecture,statues,andpictures,the meansofdisabusingthesoldiersand uneducatedpeopleoftheideathatCatholicismmeanspresenceofEuropean power.

TheconductoftheSouthernArmy inrelationtotheChurchhasdepended ontheparticularleader.Thesoldiers ofYen-si-Chan,the"modelgeneral," havebeenwellbehavedandrespectful inthis-regard.Thoseofthefamous so-calledChristiangeneral,Fen,g-yur Hsiang,havebeenfranklyandopenly anti-Christian.

TheSouthernArmysoldiersandjuniorofficersconsidertheCatholicsand allChristiansasrepresentingforeign powers.Oneofthebestanswersto thisisfoundinthepresenceofnative priestsandhierarchy.Aninstanceis hadintheVicariateApostolicofLihsien,whichisunderaChineseBishop, RightReverendMelchiorSuen,and incareofChinesepriests.

UpontheentranceoftheSouthern Armythecommonsoldierswerethreat. eningtheCatholics,accusingthemof representingforeignpowersandimperialism.WhentoldthattheBishop andallthepriestsoftheVicariate werenativeChineseandthattheCatholicsacknowledgednoforeignpower exceptspiritualallegiancetotheHoly Father,thesoldierswereatfirstincredulous.

Whenconvincedofthetruth,the militarymenimmediatelychanged theirattitudeandpromisedtheCatholicsimmunityfromharmandpositiveprptection.Theentiredivision leftearlythenextmorningwithout theslightestdisorderordamagetothe town.

Theattitudeofthenewgovernment cannotyetbeascertainedwithcertainty.Theleadersshowextreme cautionandreserve.Everymember ofthepartyinpowerhasbeenexaminedandthoseunderthesligjitestsuspicionofrevolutionaryorcommunistic tendencieshavebeendismissed.The aimoftheleadersisevidentlytopreserveorderandthuswintheconfidenceoftheconservativistsandthe generalpublic.Allimprudentandexcessivemanifestationsofanti-foreign feelinghavebeenfrownedupon,but itisevidentthattheGovernmentitselfisbasicallyanti-foreign.

TheproblemoftheChurchistoconvincetheChinesemassesthatCatholicismisinnowayconnectedwithimperialismandforeignpower.For threecenturiesthedocumentsofthe SacredCongregationofPropaganda Fidehaveemphasisedthispoint,and inrecentyearsthemessagesofPopes BenedictXV.andPiusXI.haveclarifiedbeyondadoubtthepositionof theHolySee.Thishasalwaysbeen theaimoftheApostolicDelegateto China,HisExcellencytheMostReverendArchbishopCelsoConstantini.

Chinesearchitecturehasbeensuccessfullyadoptedinthecreationof severalCatholicchurcheswithgratify. ingresults.ImageshavealsobeenexecutedinOrientalstyle,especially thoseoftheChintsemartyrs.Itis feltthatsuchmeasureswillhavegreat influenceinsavingCatholicsfromantiforeignoutrages-(Fides.)

InOldenTimes

Inancienttimes,therighttoissue moneywasthespecificrightofthesovereign,and,assuchauthoritywasconsideredfromGod,aChristianmonarch deemeditfittingtopaytributetothe Deity.InFrance,asfarbackasthe 8thcentury,duringthereignofLouisthe-Debonaire,coinswereinscribed "GratiaDeiRex,"whilethegoldpieces ofSt.Louiswerepopularlyknownas "goldenlambs"becauseoftheprayer theybore,"AgnusDeiquitollispeecatamundi,misererenobis."The coinageofPepin-the-Shorthonoured theBlessedVirginwiththewords "SanctaMaria,"sometimesabbreviated"Sea.Mar.,"orthewords"Maria" and"Virgo"formingacrosswiththe letter"r"asthenointofintersection. "Christusvincit.Christusregnat,Christusimperat"appearedononesideof themoneyofCharlesVI..whilethereversedepictedtheAngelGabrielappearingbeforethekneelingVirgin,and wasinscribed"Ave."

RespectinWhichituHeldbyNon, Catholics.

CatholicslovethePopeandobey himfromadutyofconscience,which derivesfromtheDivineLawinstituted byChrist.ThoseModernistswho20 yearsagoheldthatitwaslawfulto criticiseandopposethesuccessorof Peter,exceptincaseswherehedefined "ex-cathedra,"evidentlyignoredthe mostfundamentalprinciplesoftheCatechism.

ThefaithfulknowthattheVicarof Christistheinfallibleandprudent teacheroftheChurch,towhomthey owesubjectionnotonlyinmattersof faithbutalsoofdiscipline.Hewho rebelsagainstthePopewhenhedefinesadogmaisaheretic;hewhorefusestoobeywhenhecommandsis disobedient.Whetheroneseeksperditonthiswayorthatmatterslittle, becauseinbotharegraveoffences.

OutsidetheTrueFoldopinionsthe mostvariousareheldontheauthorityofthePope-fromtheliberals,who callthemselvesCatholics,toheretics, Freemasonsandpagans.Allthese agreeinasmuchastheirconceptof Papalauthorityisfalse.Nevertheless,andespeciallysincethewar,practicallyallareeager,frompractical motives,toshowtherespectinwhich theyholdtheHeadoftheChurch. Protestant,schismaticandpagan Governmentsmakeconcessionsto Rome,concludeconcordats,receiveand renderthehighesthomagetonuncios andrepresentativesoftheHolySee, Consideringtheirreligiousornon-religiousviews,itseemsverystrangethat theyshouldpaysuchrespecttoone whom,atothertimesandalwaysin theirhearts,theydisdain.Theydo so,evidently,notbecauseoftheDivineLawofChrist,butbecausethey recognisethePopetobethegreatest moralinfluenceintheworld. Hencetheirpolicyprescindsfrom anyprincipleofreligionandisfoundedmerelyonaconditionoffact.And, therefore,ifitcouldhappen,perimpossible,thatthePopeshouldlosehis presentinfluenceasamoralforceand thattheCaliphortheGrandLamaof Tibet,ortheheadofanyotherreligion,themostabsurd,weretoacquire foratimeequalmoralinfluence,the esteem,friendshipandrespectwhich arenowpaidtothePopeongrounds ofexpediencywouldpassfromhim toanother.

WhatisthePurposeofthkEucharisticFast?

ThelawoftheChurchisandhas beenforcenturiesthatbeforethereceptionofHolyCommuniononeshould remainwithoutfoodordrinkfromthe previousmidnight.EvenSt.Augustine,wholivedfrom354to430,wrote thatthisPreceptwasenforcedinhis timeintheuniversalchurch.

This,however,wasnotsofromthe beginning.Weknowthatthefirst HolyCommunionwasgivenbyChrist totheApostlesaftertheyhadeaten ofthePaschalmealonHolyThursday evening.Likewise,inthedaysofSt. Paul.itisevidentfromhislettertothe Corinthiansthateatinganddrinking eitherprecededoraccompaniedthereceptionoftheEucharist.(I.Cor.II, 20).Hence,shortly,thecelebrationof Masswaschangedfromanevening hourtoamorning.Probablycoincidentwiththischange,andcertainly fromthedaysofTertullianonwards, thereceptionofCommunionwasmade whilefasting. Theonlyreasonsthatcanbeadducedforthiscustomthatfirstsprang upspontaneouslyandlatergainedthe forceoflawaretopreventabusessuch asSt.PaulfoundatCorinthandto manifestthegreatreverencethatisdue totheTableofChrist.

Severalquestionshavebeensubmittedaskingaboutthisfastandthe breakingofit.Itshouldbenoted thatwhetherthefasthasbeenbroken purposelyoraccidentallymakesno difference.Herethereisnoquestion ofwrong-doing,ofsin,orofblame. Simply,anyonewhoinanywaybreaks hisfastis,forthatday,excludedfrom thereceptionofHolyCommunion.He may,andlaudablyshould,fastand receiveHolyCommunionontheday following.

SetusJ.Koubel,inthe"North-West Review,"tellshowEngland'scharter ofLibertywaswrestedfromatyrant byaCatohlicArchbishopofCanterburyinthefollowinginterestingstory: Astrangeandgrimscenewasrevealedbythewavering,unsteadylightof candlesonthehighaltarandthedrippingtorchesinthesconcesonthepillarsofSt.Edmund'sChurch,inSuffolk,England.Itwasnightandthe loftyGothicceilingwaslostindarkness.OutsidethewindhowleddrearilyforitwaslateNovember,theyear 1214.Thechurchwasfilledwiththe earlsandbaronsofthekingdomand therewasanairofsecrecyaboutthe gathering.Occasionallytheclanking ofaswordasitstruckagainststone interruptedthemanwhostoxlbefore thealtarspeaking.

ThemanwasStephenLangton,ArchbishopofCanterbury.Hishearers wereassembledhereto-nighttotake measuresagainstthecrueltyranniesof theirking,JohnLackland.

Amoreunworthysovereignthan KingJohnhadneverruledEngland.

Itwasoftheseoldrights,oncepossessedbyEnglishmen,thatArchbishop Langtonwasspeaking.

"England,myfriends,groansbeneathoppression.Yourrightsare rightsnomore.Mylords,haveyou forgottenyourheritage.Beholdthe forgottencharterofyourgreatking, HenryI.,theLionofJustice"

AshespokeLangtonunrolledthe parchmentinhishands.Itwasa charteroflibertieswhichhadbeenissuedahundredyearsbeforebyanable andjustking.Itsprincipleshad beenignoredandscoffedatbyKing John.

"Mylord,letusdrawupourdemandsandpresentthemtotheking. Letusmakethecharteryouholdin yourhandsourmodel."

"Aye,"saidanother,"andletusdie, ifneedbe,indefense,ofourrightsif theKingbeobstinate."

"Anoath!"criedsomeone,"anoath fromall,swornuponyouraltar,that iftheKingrefusethesedeinands,we willwithdrawfromhisallegianceand byarmsforcehisconfirmation."

Areadyassentfromtheknights greetedthisproposalandeachinhis turnascendedthealtarsteps,layupon thealtarhissword,andsworeuponit tokeepfaithwithhiscomradesand allEngland.

Thedemands,asagreedupon,were drawnupandpresentedtotheKing forconfirmationintheformofacharter.John,hearingthemreadbythe messengersoftheknights,blazedinto angerandvillification.

"Thesedemandsarevainandvisionary,"hedeclared.

Thenhelaughedderisively.

"Whynotaskformyentirekingdom,fools?"

Suchwashisattitudetowardthede. mandsofhisnobles.Furtherefforts toreachanagreementprovedequally futile.
