CATHOLICJOURNALISTHITSBACK.

Dr.Barnes,AnglicanBishopofBirmingham,hasbeenengagedinalively controversywithaCatholicdailypaper ofSantiagodeChile,SouthAmerica, saysthe"Universe"(London).

HisLordshipdenouncesCatholicism asnon-reformed,and,therefore,defective;SenorDonRicardoCoxMendez, hisChileanopponent,remindshim that"bytheirfruitsyoushallknow them,"andaskshimtocomparethe privatelifeofthenon-reformedSt. ElizabethofHungarywiththereformedQueenElizabethofEngland.

TheBishoptauntsSenorMendez's paper,"ElDiarioIllustrado,"asrepresentingonlyan"enthusiasmdeprived ofinstruction;"towhichDonRicardo repliesbypointingouttheignoranceof theAnglicanclergycomparedwith"a modestChileanlayman."

Wants"NewReformation."

ThecontroversybeganbythepublicationofanarticlebySenorMendez onBishopBarnes's"gorillasermon." Acopyofthepaper,withaletter,was senttohislordship,whorepliedas follows:

"Itinterestsmethattheprotestin St.Paul'sCathedralandmysubsequentcorrespondencewiththeArchbishopofCanterburyshouldhavebeen regardedsufficientlyimportanttoreceivenoticeinaChileandaily.

"ForanEnglishmanaccustomedto considertheRomanCatholicChurch asanon-reformedand,therefore,defectivetypeofChristianity,theattitudeofthearticleisratheramusing.

"In.consequence,ItaketheReformationasapointofdeparture;and onthereformationofreligionthenestablished,Iseekanewreformation necessaryinourownepoch.

"Yourarticledoesnotindicatethat thenecessityofaprogressivedevelopmentasthisisrecognised_inChile; perhapsyourpaperrepresentsonlya religiousenthusiasmdeprivedofinaruction."

InhisreplytoDr.Barnes,Senor Mendezmentionsthatthesmile broughttohislipsbythesceneatSt. Paul'swhenacanonforbadeabishop tomountthepulpithadnothingto dowithhistypeofChristianity.He continues:

"YouthinkthatRomanCatholicism isadefectiveformofChristianitybecauseithasneverbeenreformed.But thequalityofthetreeisknownbyits fruits.

"AformofChristianitythathasproducedsomuchvirtueandhasgivenso manysaintstotheworlddoesnotappeartobeverydefectivenortoneed anyreformation. ."

DonRicardogoesontosaythat Chileansarewellversedinmodern science;thatDarwinismhasbeenrelegatedtoantiquity,andthatrealsci entistsdeclaretherecanbenoconflictbetweenscienceandreligion.DealingwiththeBishopofBirmingham's attitudetotheReformation,heasks himto:

"ComparetheprivatelifeofSt.Bei, nard,orSt.FrancisofAssisi,orSt. ElizabethofHungary-non-reformed Christians-withthatofLuther,ZwingliorElizabethofEngland,Christians reformedbytheirowninitiative."

Finally,SenorMendezdealswiththe Bishop'stauntofthelackofinstructionofthose"ElDiarioIllustrado" represents.Fromhisownsojournsin England,hesays,heknowsthatin bothcountriestheclergyarebetter educatedthanthelaity.

Butheretortsthatwhenhewasin \VesmitnsterAbbey,he,aChilean,was abletotalkinEnglishtooneofthe clergyoftheAbbey,who,ontheother hand,knewnothingofSpanish.He askedtheclergyman"foramodest stipend"tocopyoutandtranscribefor himtheLatininscriptiononthetomb ofMary.QueenofScots.Thisthe ministerpromisedtodo,butafew dayslatersenttheinscription.untranslatedtoSenorMendez,witha notethatthetaskwasbeyondhim SenorMendezdidithimselfinhalfan hour.

"NotAChurchButTheChurch"

THESPIRITUALAND1100NOMICCRISESINENGLAND.

Thewell-knownDominicanlectures, writer,andpreacher,FatherVincent McNabb,speakingintheDo. Brighton,England,lastmonth,saia that,asahealthyoptimist,hethought thatoneofthemostconsolingthings inhislifetimehadbeentheextraordinaryinterestmanifestedinthecrisis intheChurchofEngland.Therewas throughoutEnglandagreatstruggle beingmade,overareligiousidealsand thatthethingchallengedwastheEstablishedChurch.

Therewerethreegroups,hesaid,in 'theEstablishedChurch,buttheywere notjusttypicaloftheChurchofEngland-theyweretypicaloftheEnglishattitudetowardsrevealedreligion. TherewastheattitudewhichwascalledAnglo-Catholic.

TheAnglo-Catholichadinheritedthe greatideathattheremustbeavisible Church.Thatwasbasedreallyon thetruththatJesusChristwasGod, andthat,ifJesusChristwasGod,He didnotcomeintotheworldtoforma Church,buttoformtheChurch,and thatitwasnotthebusinessofsubsequentagestorevisewhatHehad founded. Hethoughtthatwhere,theAngloCatholicsfailedindrawingtheproper conclusionswasthatatthepresent timethatChurchhadceasedtobe visible;atleast,itwasinaudible,and .achurchthatwasinaudiblewasinvisible.

Itwouldbeverydifficulttoknow wheretheAnglo-Catholicswouldfind .atthepresenttimeanexistingbody whichwouldgivethemdecisionsand settlemattersoffaith;for,whereas,as .aworkingtheory,theyrestedonthe authorityoftheepiscopate,itwasentirelytothecreditoftheepiscopate oftheChurchofEnglandthatthey hadalwaysprotestedthattheywere notinfallible.

Thesecondattitudewastheattitude oftheEvangelicals-againaveryfine attitude,anattitudewhichwasjusta littlesuspiciousofthevisibleChurch, whichhadanideaoftheverygreatimportance.theabsolutenecessity,ofthe individual,andwhichstressedtherelationshipofthatindividualtoGod.

Thatwasaverypowerfulposition. Hethought.ofcourse,itwasbasedon themisunderstandingthataninstitutionwhichwasorganisedbyJesus Christcould,assuch,interferebetween thefreetrafficoftheindividualsoul andJesusChrist.

Again,Evangelicalshadthatmagnificentideaofthesacredscriptures,of eventheirinfallibility.They,therefore.appreciatedCatholicswhenthe latter,intheirservices,kissedthesacredScriptures.

Father'McNabb,turningtothethird partyintheChurchofEngland,the Modernists,quotedSt.ThomasAquinas,whohadsaidthat"Ifreasonhas provedanything,certainly'theoppositecannotbethemeaningofthe SacredScripture,andcannotbethe teachingofFaith."

Catholicshadallthatwastruein allthosethreepositionsoftheChurch ofEngland.TheyheldthesupremacyoftheVisibleChurch.Hewas notintheChurchinordertoteachit andbringittoacertainstandardof dogma.Hewasinittobetaught, and.asapriest,hehad,tobetaught muchmorethanothers.Hewas taughtandhe'obeyed. -

CatholicsIfeldthattheChurch'was aGod-madeChurch,andtheydidnot holdthataChurchwhichGodmade oughttoberevised,orbroughtup-todate.orsomethingofthatsort.

TheCatholicChurchalonehadthe greatprincipleswhichwouldsolvethe presentcrisisbetweenreason,which dreadedinconsistency,andthoseother lusthalf-beliefswhichended.witha strangepracticalinconsistency.

Passingfromthespiritualcrisisto theeconomicone.FatherMcNabbsaid thattheCatholicChurchdiagnosed thedisease.quitefearlessly.Thedis. casewassin.

Hewouldnotlookatanysolution oftheeconomicdifficulty.Ahathadnot theideaofsininit,justashewould notlookatanyattemptedsolutionof thatdifficultythatdidnotadmitfree will.Hethenrealthediagnosisof PopeLeo "Theresultofcivilchangeandrevolutionhasbeentodividesocietyinto twowidelydifferentcastes.Onthe onesidethereisthepartywhichholds Dowerbecauseitholdswealth,which hasinitsgraspthewholeoflabour andtrade.whichmanipulatesforits ownbenefitanditsownpurposesall thesources-ofsupply,andwhichis evenrepresentedinthecounselsofthe Stateitself.Ontheothersidethere istheneedyandpowerlessmultitude, brokendownandsuffering.

"Ithascometopassthatworking menhavebeensurrendered,allisolatedandhelpless,tothehard-heartednessof'employersandthegreedofuncheckedcompetition.Themischief hasbeenincreasedbyrapacioususury, which.althoughmorethanoncecondemnedbytheChurch,is,nevertheless,underadifferentgarb,butwith alikeinjustice,stillpractisedbycovetousandgraspingmen.Tothismust beaddedthecustomofworkingby contractandtheconcentrationofall themanybranchesoftradeinthe handsofafewindividuals.Asmall numberofveryrichmenhavebeen abletolayupontheteemingmasses ofthelabouringpoorayokelittlebetterthanthatofslaveryitself....

"Thelawshouldfavourownership, anditspolicyshouldbetoinduceas manyaspossibleofthehumbler classestobecomeowners."

ThePopediagnosedthedisease: twoclasses,therelationbetweenthem, therelationofinjustice.ThePope couldnotgivetoonethatwasunjust therighttobeunjust,ortherightto onemannottogivebacktoanother manthemoneythatwasthatother man's. Noecclesiasticalpower,priest,BishoperPope,couldrightarelationship ofinjusticeuntiltheinjusticehad beenrighted.

Lookingoutontheorganisationthat wasatpresentobtainingincivilised countries,thePopesawonerelationshipwhichwasnotnecessaryand just-the-relationshipbetweenthe wageearnerandthewagegiver-and anotherrelationship-thatbetweenthe ownerandthething-andhesaid,if oneincreasedthewagerelationshipany more,onedecreasedtheownershiprelationship.

Therewasthegreatproblem-the greatpolicy-whichtheCatholic Churchlaidbeforeitspeople.He wonderediftheycouldacceptthechallengeofthe'CatholicChurch,forhe wasafraid,notthattheprinciplesof theCatholicChurchwouldfailthe world,butthattheyCatholicsshould fail'theprinciplesoftheCatholic Church.

Aboveall,itwasapetprojectofM.

AmelioratedConditions.

Frenchwriterswhodiscourseupon religiousmattersare,perhaps,temperamentallydisposedtoindulgeinunduly vehementexpressionsofindignation overtheunjusttreatmentofCatholics atthehandsoftheState.Nosuch faultcan,however,beimputedtoM. CharlesFlory,honorarypresidentof theCatholicAssociationofFrench Youth,whohasrecentlycontributed animportantarticleonreligiousmatterstotheperiodical,"Politique." Fromthisgentleman'sadmirablereviewwegatherthatthesituationof theChurchinFranceatthepresent timeis,generallyspeaking,assatisfactoryascanbeexpected.Thus, afterhavingforalongtimeaprivilegedplaceinaStatethatwasflattered atbeingcalled"mostChristian,"the ChurchsawtheRepublicafteritsinstitutioncarryoutatfirstitsdoctrine toreligious"neutrality"anaggressive ofintolerantpoliticians,fomentingand exploitinganti-clericalpassions,gave toreligous"neutrality"anaggressive andpersecutingcharacter.Duringa periodoftwentyortwenty-fiveyears, theWaldeck-RousseauandCombes epoch,therecamethelawsagainstreligiousOrders,thesuppressionofthe embassytotheVatican,theseparationofChurchandState.To-day, theeraofpersecutionandannoyance seemstohaveended.Manyoftheinjusticestodatehavenotbeenatoned for,buttheChurch,onthewhole, knowspeaceandtranquility,and,in thebreathingspace,shebelievesthat sheapproachesareturntoanequality ofrightsandlibel*ofaction.What weretherelationsofChurchandState dotingthetwenty-yearperiod?What aretheyto-day?Certainlythatis thefirstpointtobeconsideredinthis study.ImmediatelyfollowingtheLaw ofSeparationof1905,theRepublicno longermaintainedanambassadorat theVatican.Shedeclaredofficially thatshenolongerrecognisedanyreligion.Theclergylosttheirplacein officialreceptionsandprocessions.Publicdocumentswentsofarastoreplacethetitle"Monseigneur"Withthat of"Monsieur."TheStatewasforbiddentotakeanypartinreligiousceremonies,eventhosecelebratingpatrioticevents.TheBudgetitemforreligion(45,000,000francsayear)was abolished.Propertyformerlyplaced atthedispositionofthechurchesor ownedbythem(religiousedifices,presbyteries,seminaries,stocks,endowments)wereofferedtoreligiousbodies undersuchrestrictionsthatPopePius X.,ratherthanacceptsuchterms, whichdisregardedtherightsofthe hierarchy,refusedtoletthemorganise andpreferredtheabandonmentof everything.

SIRW.JOYNSONHICKS'CRITICISM.

TheBritishHomeSecretaryissued astatementinwhichhevigorously criticisedtheBishops'attituderegardingthePrayerBook.Therewasa longacademicdiscussiononthedisunionintheProtestantchurchesat thecloseoftheAnglicanChurchCongressatCheltenham,England.

SirWm.JoynsonHick.sinhisstatementsaysthattheBishops'arrivedat theconclusiontheycouldnotdealwith illegalitiesexceptbytheperhapseasy thoughnotheroic,policyofconvertingtheillegalintothelegal.Parliamenthadnowdeclinedtosanctionthe alterationsinthePrayerBook.

TheBishopshadnowquitedefinitelysaidthattheyintendedtoactupon thenewBookasifithadbeenpassed byParliament,andthattheyintended toauthorisethenewservicesand-inferentially-thenewdoctrines.That wasaverygravedecision.TheBishopsweremembersofParliamentand dignitariesofaStateChurch.They admittedthattheBookofCommon Prayercouldnotbealteredwithout thesanctionofParliament.

Theyhadsuggestedthattheirown desirewastorestorelawandorderin theChurch,andnowtheyturnround andsetafurtherexampleofdisregard ofthelaw.Surelytheywerethelast peoplewhoshouldadvisethecommunitythatiftheycouldnotget whattheywantedlegallytheymight takeitnotonlywithouttheauthorityofParliamentbutindirectoppositiontoitsdecision.

They,Evangelicals,couldnotgiveup tileprinciplesofReformationforwhich theirforefathersfoughtandsuffered, enshrinedastheywereintheBookof CommonPrayer.

ForthefirsttimeduringtheCongress,representativesofchurches,other thanAnglican,wereallowedtotake partofficiallyintheCongress,Canon GarfieldWilliams,secretaryofthe MissionaryCounciloftheChurchAssembly,referringtotheimportance ofre-unioninthemissionfield,said thattherewasnotanon-Christian countryintheworldthatdidnotutterthegibe:"SeehowtheseChristians hateoneanother."
