CARDINALO'CONNELL'SADDRESS

InaugurationoftheNewRector CATHOLICUNIVERSITYOFAMERICA.

TheCatholicUniversityofAmerica isoneoftheveryyoungestofthat greatfamilyofcentresoflearning, whoseoriginstretchesbacktothe MiddleAges--whosebirthwasblessed bygreatandlearnedPopes-and whosecharterswereendorsedbythe civilrulersoftheirtime,whether emperors,kingsorpresidents. TheAlmaMaterofallgreatChristianschoolsfromBologna,Padua, ParisandOxfordtoWashingtonwas SanctaMaterEcclesia.Themost beneficentandpowerfulfoundersand protectorsoftheschools,whether popularorofthehighestgrade,were thePopes,fathersofChristendom. Everconsciousoftheirdivinecommissiontogoforthandteach,they havebeennotonlythecommon fathersofallthenationsduringallthe centuries,butthepromotersofevery- thingthatwassurestandsanestand soundestinthewholewideworldof ChristiancivlisationandtherefinementofChristianinfluence. Theirfirstcare,naturally,wasthe propagationofthefaith,thetruth whichcomesfromGod;butthatnever preventedthemfromgivingthefreest scopeandencouragementtothecultivationandthestudyofalltruth,humanaswellasdivine.Andsonot onlytheology,butthehumanitiesand lawandmedicineandliteratureand thefineartsandallthevariousbranchesevenofexperimentalscience, madetheirhomeinthegreatcentres oflearning,foundedandendorsedby PopesandCardinalsandBishopsin nearlyeverylandwhereverthefaith waspreached.

Forreasonsobviousenoughtoan impartialeye,thisstoryofthefoundingoftheschoolsofEurope.andof America,especiallySouthAmerica,has beendeliberatelyobscured,ignored, minimised.Butthefactswereso plainthatnomodernhistdrian,who respectshisownreputationfortruth, nowhesitatestoproclaimitfromthe house-tops.

Everystudentofthehistoryofhumanlearningrealisesquitewellthat evenuniversitiesmayhavetheirfads andfancies;andthatfromtimeto timemeresuppositionsandconjectures,whicharenothingbuttheories intheend,areseizeduponwiththe frenzyofanenthusiasmworthofa bettercause,andraisedtothedignity ofadogma.

Dealingwith"TheresaNeumann's VisionoftheCrucifixion,"Dr.Wesselysaid:

"OfthewordspokenfromtheCross. aspronouncedbyTheresaNeumann, thewords'Ela(h)i,Ela(h)i,lema shebaktani(withquiteahollow'a'in Ela(h)i)correspondabsolutelytothe narrationintheGospelsaccordingto St.Matthew27,46,andSt.Mark15, 34,andaretheArameanfor'MyGod, myGod,whyhastThouabandoned Me!'Further,TheresaNeumannhears 'as-che,'thatis,'Ithirst.'
