TheTheologyofMartyrdom

THEpasorzosOFTEECHURCH. (ByRev.R.A.Knox,MA.)

Theterm"martyrs,"inthetheologicalsense,doesnotincludeanyone whosuffersdeathforacause,oranyonewhosuffersdeathforareligious cause.Nodoubtthereisapsychologicalsenseinwhichyoucanattach thenameofmartyrtoanyonewho giveshislifeforanideal;anditis naturalthatthosenumerouspersons whodisbelieveinabsolutetruthshould soapplythename,withoutregardto thevalueoftheidealsinvolved.

But,theologically,themartyrdomis somethingmorethanadispositionof themind.(Ifitwereameredispositionofthemind,willingnesstodie shoulddodutyinsteadofdeath.)It isadirectgatetoheaven,independent ofBaptism.Itis,indeed,aquasiSacrament,inwhichthe'opusoperaturn"mustfigureaswellasthe"opus operantis"-nay,therearemartyrdoms, rastherearebaptisms,inwhichthe "opusoperantis"playsnopartatall (e.g.,theHolyInnocents).

Inmartyrdom,asinbaptism,two peopleareinvolved.Youcannot martyryourself;noris(forexample)a priestwhodiesofcontagionafterministeringtotheplague-strickenproperly calledamartyr.Thisquasi-Sacramentmusthaveaquasi-minister, namely,thepersecutorwhoinflicts deathuponthemartyr,andwould nothavedonesobutforthemartyr's connectionwiththeCatholicfaith.

Inasense,therefore,martyrdomdemandsanattitudenotonlyonthe partofthevictim,butonthepartof thepersecutor;ifatyrantshoulddecidetodecimatethepopulationofa country,irrespectiveofacreed,aCatholicthusmurderedwouldnotbea martyr. PopularModernUsage.

Infact,popularmodernusagewould defineamartyrasanyonewhoundergoesdeathdeliberatelyforthesakeof anideal-moreparticularlyifheisdefencelessagainsthisenemies.The Churchmeansbyamartyranyonewho undergoesdeath(whethertheageof reasonhasbeenattainedornot)in witnesstothetruthoftheCatholic religion.Wemust,however,define thisstatementmostaccurately(a)"ex partetyranni";(b)"expartemar.

(a)Thecommondefinitionstates thatmartyrdommustbedeathinflictedbyatyrant"throughhatredofthe faith."Thisphraseisonewhich necessitatesveryelaborateexplanation whenitcomestotheindividualcase. Forexample,whatifthejudge,inperfectlygoodfaith,believestheaccused guiltyonatrumped-upcharge?Itis martyrdom;butthehatredofthefaith istobefoundintheaccuser,notin thejudge.

Again,itis'admittedthatthehatred

neednotbeexplicit;thetyrantmay cloakitunderthepretextofpolitical orpatrioticconsiderations.Butit maybedoubtedwhethertherootof thetroubledoesnotliedeeper.Can anybody,afterall,hatethefaithas such-merelyforitsownsake?

Ifwecannotpreferevilexcept"sub speciboni,"surelyallhatredofthe faithmustarisefromsomeimagined advantageofapersonalorpolitical kind.AndisitnotpossiblethatVoth judgeandaccusershould,withoutconscioushypocrisy,believethemselvesto beactingonpurelypoliticalgrounds, andyettheirvictimbeamartyr?

CardinalBillot,whodoesnotreferto hatredofthefaith,butdefinesamartyrasonekilledforChrist'scause,lays itdownthat"whateverbethetruthas totheendcontemplatedbytheagent, itisenoughformartyrdomiftheend oftheactioninvolvesthesuppressing oftheChristianreligion."Thisseems toaccountforthepracticesofthe Churchwithlessstrainingoflanguage thanthephrase"hatredofthefaith" demands.

(b)Soldierswhoarekilledfightinginthecauseofreligionarenot martyrsthoughcaptivesoldiersmay becomeniartyrs,iftheyareoffered, whendisarmed,thechoiceofdeathor recantation.Thegroundfortherefusaloftheaureoleinthiscaseisthat themanwhotakesuparms,evenfor thefaith,isnotimitatingthepatience ofChrist,whichimitationisessential tomartyrdom. Thisprinciplemustsurelybeextendedtopoliticalagentswhoareendeavouringtofurtherthecauseofreligionbyworldlymeans(plots,politicalagitation,etc.).ThusEnglishmenwhowereexecutedfor(proved) plottingagainsttheSovereignorthe safetyoftherealmarenotcanonised, howevermuchthereligiousadvantage ofthecountrymayhavebeentheirrulingmotive;nay,eventhesuspicionof complicityinaplotmaydelaythe causeofamissionarypriestlikeFather HenryGarnet.

Toapplytheseprinciples-wedonot needtoprovethatthepersecutorsof theEnglishmartyrsdesiredtheextinctionoftheCatholicreligionforits ownsake;itisenoughiftheydesired apoliticalendwhichwas(orseemed tobe)inconsistentwiththesurvival oftheCatholicreligion.

Ontheotherhand,wedonotneed toprovethatthecausewhichbrought themartyrstoexecutionwasnotan agitationconductedby_themagainst theCrown;orthatiftheydidconduct suchanagitation,theyearnedthe crownofmartyrdombyrefusingthe offerofpardonuponconditionoftheir acknowledgingtheSupremeGovernor. shipoftheSovereign.

FeaturesofAustralianCatholicism

(MichaelD.Forrest,M.S.C.,in"America.")

Atthepresenttimetheeyesofthe CatholicworldhavebeenturnedtowardsAustralia,wherethetwentyninthInternationalEucharisticCongressjusttookplaceinthepresence ofamultitudeofAustralianandNew ZealandCatholicsandofdistinguished representativesfrommanyothercountries.Australiaisafar-flungcontinentandis,therefore,comparatively rarelyvisitedbypilgrimsortourists, atleastinlargenumbers,fromthe otherpartsoftheearth.Besidesthe questionofdistanceandexpense,such visitorswouldbeinclinedtoaskthemselveswhatshrinesormonuments, whathistoricalspots,whatextraordinaryscenesofbeautywouldbetheir recompenseattheendoftheirvoyage.

ComparedwiththeOldWorld,Australiahasnonationalshrines;comparedwithAmerica,shehasfewpointsof anyhistoricalinteresttotheoutside world.Herhistory,especiallyherreligioushistory,is,indeed,veryinterestingeventotheoutsider.Butitis notmypurposetoattemptanaccount oftheestablishmentandrapidgrowth oftheChurchinAustralia.Ishall limitmyselftoadescriptionofafew ofthecharacteristicfeaturesofAustralianCatholicism.

TheCatholicsofAustraliaaresubjecttothesameunjustsystemofeducationthatprevailsintheUnited States.Although,liketheAmerican Catholics,theycontributetheirquota tothesourcefromwhichpubliceducationisfinanced,theydonotreceivea pennyinreturntowardthebuilding, upkeep,ormaintenanceoftheirparish orsecondaryschoolsdespitethefact thatintheseschoolsthesecularinstructionimpartedisatleastequivalenttothatwhichisgiveninthepublic schools.

Inthismatter,however,Australian Catholicshaveconstantlypursueda moremilitantpolicythantheirAmericanbrethren.Withoutexpressingan opinionastowhichpeoplefollowsthe moredesirableoreffectivecourseof action,ImaystatethatAustralians arenotsogentleortimidincriticisingorattackingtheAdministration, StateorFederal.Catholiclaymen andpriestsinAustralia,andespecially prominentmembers hierarchy, consistentlyaddiesstheStateopenly andseverely,anddemand,notasa favour,butasanactofsimplejustice,thatthemoneytheycontribute intaxationforeducationbedevoted totheirownschools,oratleast,that theGovernmentreturnwhatisnecessaryfortheirmaintenance.

Still,humanlyspeaking,thereseems littleprobabilitythattheGovernment willharkentothisprotestagainstinjustice.Buttheconstant,publicprotesthashadtwoverysalutaryeffects: thenon-Catholicpublic,putasitwere onthedefensive,hasshownnodesire, asintheStatesofOregonandMichigan,totrespassfurtherontheeducationalrightsofCatholiccitizens,while theCatholicconsciencehasbeenso trainedandformedthatCatholicparentsinAustraliaregarditalmostas treasontotheFaithtosendtheirchildrentoasecularschoolwhereaCatholicschoolisavailable.

course,isnoreflectionwhateveron thtabilityofthestudentofthiscountry.

Thosewhohavetodealwithreligiousoreducationalmattersinthisgreat Republicrealisethatracialquestions areagreatproblem.Arecentmanifestationofracialconsciousnessinone sectionofthecountryinregardtothe establishmentofcentralhighschools andthedirectionofcertainmatters inracialparishesisastrikingillustrationofthispoint.

InAustraliaracialparishesand schoolsarepracticallyunknownfor practicallytheentirepopulationis Engish-speaking,andeightypercent. oftheCatholicpeople,whoconstitute twentypercentofthenationalpopulation,areIrishorofIrishorigin.The CatholicChurchinAustrliais,infact, apartoftheCatholicChurchtransplantedfromtheEmeraldIsletothe LandoftheSouthernCross.

NorhasthespiritoftheFaithsufferedinbeingtransplanted.Itisinevitable,humanlyspeaking,thatin thecircumstancessurroundingthe IrishCatholicswhomigratedtoAmericaandAustraliathereshouldbea certainleakagefromtheChurchamongstthemortheirdescendants,but whatofthewondrousfaithretained bythevastmajorityofthoseemigrantsandpassedonfaithfullyto mostoftheirdescendants?

AsthesplendidCatholicpeopleof America,springingfromvariousCatholicpeoplesofEurope,havegraduallyevolvedadistinct,thoughtruly Catholictype,sotheCatholicpeopleof Australia,descendingchieflyfromIrish stock,havegraduallystampedacharacteristicimpressontheCatholicism theycherishsodearly.Speakingon thismatterontheoccasionofthe Month'sMindforthevenerableArchbishopCarr,HisGraceArchbishop Mannixsaid:

"EssentialunityisthemoststrikingattributeofthetrueChurch.But withthatunitythereisalsoanendlessvariety.FortheChurchineach nationorcountrytakeson,asitwere, theformandcolouroftheplace,and thespiritandthegeniusofthepeople. AndsodifferentpartsoftheChurch haveeachitsowndistinctions,itsown goodqualitiesandcharacteristics, whicharenotfound,orarenotsoprominent,elsewhere.Australia,with Ireland'sfaith,hasgotinlargemeasurethebestqualitiesofIreland'sCatholicpeople.Bytheirfruitsweknow them,andCatholicAustraliahasgot aheritageofwhichwemaybejustly proud."

AustralianCatholicsobserveanabsolutealoofnessfromtheirProtestant fellow-citizensineverythingthatpertainstoareligiousorquasi-religious function.Notonlydotheynever participateinanykindofcolourless unitedreligiouscelebration,butthey simplyrefusetopraywithProtestants,eventhoughacommonformof prayerwouldbeused.Take,forexample,thecelebrationofAnzacDay.

speakers-priestsandlaymen-have invadedtheSydneydomainonSunday afternoonsandinthatrendezvousof allclasseshaveexpoundedCatholic doctrineandsocialquestionsandhave invitedobjectionsandquestionsfrom theeagercrowd.Besides,Catholic evidencelecturesareregularlygivenin apublichallinalargecentre,andnonCatholicsarecordiallyinvited.

Althoughintensebigotryprevailsin certainquartersinAustralia,themajorityofnon-CatholicAustraliansis, Ibelieve,fair-minded.In411civic, State,andnationalmatters,theCatholicsofAustraliaare,needlessto say,willinganddedIroustoworkin perfectharmonywiththeirProtestant fellow-citizens,whohaveoftenplaced onrecordtheirappreciationofthe sterlingcitizenshipandpatriotismof theCatholicbody.

Inreferringtothemilitantspiritof theChurchinAustralia,IshouldmentionthatCatholicstheremakeeffectiveuseoftheweaponknownasthe "indignationmeeting."Whenthere isaflagrantgrievancewhichcannot beadequatelyexpressedthroughthe columnsofthesecularpress,because thesecularjournalsareoften ingtopublishsuchmatter),an"indignationmeeting"iscalled.Tothis meeting,whichisannouncedfromall theCatholicpulpitsandthroughthe Catholicpapers,prominentspeakers, layandclerical,areinvited.Even fair-minded,fearlessMembersofthe StateandFederallegislatures,ProtestantaswellasCatholic,areoftenwillingtoattendandspeak.Specialresolutionsareformulated,andeach speakerisassignedhispart.Theresolutionsarethenputtothemeeting, carriedwithacclamationbytheimmensegathering,anddirectedtothe rightquarters.

Withoutinstitutinganyinvidious comparison,Istate,asasimplefact, that,ifAustraliastoodinthesame relationtoMexicoasdoestheUnited States,suchmeetingsofprotestwould longsincehavebeenheldinevery largecentrewithouttheslightestfear ofcriticising,embarrassing,orantagonisingthenationalAdministration.

Ihavebuttouchedonafewfeatures ofAustralianCatholicism.Australiansfullyrealisetheirownshortcomings,andaredesirousoflearningwhat isbestinothernations.TheCatholicsofAustralianaturallygivetheir firstandbestlovetotheirsunnyhomeland.But,deepdownintheirhearts isanardentaffectionforIrelandand America.Onthemotiveswhichinspirethataffectionspacedoesnotallowmetoenlarge.InIrelandthey recognisethemotherthatbrought forththeyoungAustralchurch,inCatholicAmericatheyrecogniseanelder memberoftheirownfamily,whose statureandvigortheyhopeoneday toattain.

Ontheeveofhisdeparturefrom Adelaide,MostRev.P.E.Magennis, GeneraloftheCarmelites,inaninterviewgiventoalocalnewspaper, gavehisimpressionsofEuropeancountrieswhichhehasvisitedinthecourse ofhisdutiesasGeneral.

"WiththeexceptionofSpain,"he said,"Italyhasmadethebestprogress oftheEuropeancountriessincethe war.Thishasbeenduetothegenius ofMussolini.Heseemstobeaborn leader,forhe,createsenormousenthusiasmThroughoutthecountry.While hismethodsmayappeartobetyrannical,theyneverthelessseemtosuit thecountry.Theonlydifficultyappearstobethatthereisnoonecapable ofsucceedinghimshouldanythinghappentohim.

"Onegreatproblemfacinghimat thepresenttimeisthestateoftherelationsbetweenthepeopleintheprovincesannexedbyItalyfromAustria afterthewar.Thesepeople,principallyAustriansandGermans,objectto theuseoftheItalianlanguage,and alsotodealingwithItaliansinstead ofwiththeirformermarketsinAustria.Mussolinicontendsthatthey spokeItalianforcequriesandshould dosr.now,butthereconciliationsof thesepeopleisbeingaccomplishedwith extremedifficulty.

"OneneverhearsofastrikeinItaly inthesedays.Atonetimestrikes werefrequent,butMussolini,finding themdetrimentaltothewell-beingof thecountry,prohibitedthem,andthe workersdonotappeartohavesuffered byhisaction."

FranceandGermany,hesaid,were rapidlyregainingtheirfeetafterthe setbackofthewar,andeverywherethe peoplewereworkinghard.Thiswas particularlynoticeableinGermany, where,notbeingconfinedtohoursof labour,thepeoplewereoncemore placingtheircountryonthehighroad toprosperity.

Speakingofthepost-warfrivolity whichwasnoticeableinsomeofthe Europeancountries,FatherMagennis saidthatthepeoplewereregaining theirrespectforhumanlife,andtighteninguptheirmorals,whichbecame loosenedforatimeafterthewar.

HealludedinhightermstothepeopleofPoland,'butstatedthatthey wererestiveunderthenewrepublican rule.EverywhereinPolandthepeopleexpressedawishforthereturnof themonarchy.

Russiahasnotbeenvisitedby FatherMagennis,butheexpressedthe viewwhatSovietGovernment,which heregardedasanexperiment,would notbethesuccessanticipated.

Withafirst-handknowledgeofAmericanaffairs,hedisplayedinterestin theoutcomeoftheforthcomingPresidentialelection.HeconsideredMr. A.Smith(GovernorofNewYork)to bethestrongestmantheDemocratic Partycouldhavechosentorepresent itintheelection,butdidnotcare toexpressanopinionconcerninghis chanceofsuccess.

Thefactthat,althoughAustralian Catholicshavethustopaytwicefor theeducationoftheirchildren,there nowexistsinAustraliamoreparish schoolsthanparishes(whichmayseem aparadox)issurelyahightributeto thespiritofCatholicismthatprevails intheyoungSouthland.

OneofthedistortionsofCatholicdoctrinewhicheducatedenemiesofthe ChurcharecirculatingquitegenerallytocreateprejudiceagainstCatholicism inthemindsoftheignorant,isthatitisateachingoftheCatholicChurch thatanypersonwhodoesnotprofesstheCatholicfaithinevitablywillbe damned.TheydeducethisdistortionfromtheteachingsoftheCatholic Churchthat"outsidetheChurchthereisnosalvation."Butitisafalse deduCtion,writestheSt.Paul"CatholicBulletin."Itmaybethatthose whospreadthismisrepresentationofCatholicdoctrineareperhapsinneed ofanexplanationwhichtheyhaveneverbeenafforded.Theexplanationis quitesimple.TheChurch,asanytheologianwilltellthem,hasasoulas wellasabody.IfeitherthemostconvincedProtestant,oranuntutored savageofanunexploredregionoftheDarkContinent,atthehourofdeath, weretomakeanactofperfectcontritionforhissinshewouldcomewithin thesouloftheChurchandwouldbesaved.Thereisnowarrantwhatever, therefore,forthestatement thattheCatholicdoctrineholdsthatsalvationisnotpossibletoanypersonnotbelongingtothebodyofthe CatholicChurch.

InanEncyclicaltotheItalianBishops,August19,1863,PopePiusIX. dealtwiththequestionofthesalvationofnon-professingCatholics.Hesaid:

"Itisknowntousandtoyouthatthosewhoareininvincibleignorance ofourmostholyreligion,butwhoobservecarefullythenaturalwayandthe preceptsgravenbyGodupontheheartsofallmen,andwhobeingdisposed toobeyGodleadanhonestanduprightlife,may,aidedbythelightofdivine grace,attaintoeternallife;forGod,Whoseesclearly,searchesandknows theheart,thedisposition,thethoughtsandintentionsofeach,inHis suprememercyandgoodnessbynomeanspermitsthatanyonesuffereternal punishmentwhohasnotofhisownfreewillfallenintosin."
