TheAmbrosianChantemployedthe fourprincipalmodesoftheGreeks; andeachmodewascalledaftersome provinceofAsia.TotheseGreek modes,GregorytheGreatinthesixth centuryaddedfourothers,a higher,calledtheplagalmodes.In thisreferencewespeakofthemusic oftheancientIrish.Ifwenow comparesomeofournationaloriginal Irishmelodieswiththoseauthenticand plagalscales,itwillbeimmediately seenthat constructiontheoriginalityandpeculiar ofthoseairsmustbe ascribedtotheirbeingcomposedin scalesandmodescorrespondingtothe Grecianmusicintroducedintheearly historyofIreland.Thusthepractice ofthisspeciesofecclesiasticalmusic waswellcalculatedtomakestrongimpressionsonthefeelingsandcharacter ofthenationalmusicduringitsprogressanddevelopmentinIrelandto thepresentday.Innumerableexamplescanbegiven.

TheQuestionBox

Questionsaboutthedoctrine andpracticeoftheChurchwill beansweredinthissectionweekly. to beas Inquirersarebrie: andclearaspossible.

W.G.:TheFaithandOrderConference,towhichyourefer,washeldat Lausanne,theoldcapitalAtheCantonofVaud,Switzerland,inAugust, 1927.Itwasattendedbyfivehundred delegates,representingalmosteveryProtestantsect,theoldCatholics,and theOrientalSchismaticchurches.The representationoftheselatter,however, wasofanunofficialcharacter.The CatholicChurch,ofcourse,wasnot represented.In1919adeputationcame toRometothePope,askinghimto participateinthepreliminarymeeting atGeneva;hut,whilereceivingthem withallcordiality,heplainlyindicated theattitudeoftheChurch.Thechief mattersfo'rdiscussionattheConferenceweretheunityofChristendom, theSacraments(twoinnumber),and thenecessityofsomeformofpublic ministry.Thegreateststresswas placedontheneedforaunitedChristianChurch,buttheconferencedidnot achieveanythingofapracticalvalue. Inanycase,evenifalltheProtestant churchesunited,theywouldstillbe separatedfromtheonetrueChurch.

Freemasonry:Rethequestionasto whenFreemasonrywascondemnedby theChurch.ThefirstPapalpronouncementwasmadebyClementXII in1738.Sincethattimethecondemnationhasbeenreiteratedbyvarious Popes,ascircumstancesdetnanded.Becauseofthesecondemnations,Catholics since1738,areunderpenaltyofexcommunication,forbiddentoenteror promoteMasonicsocieties.ThispenaltyisfoundalsointhenewCodeof CanonLaw.IntheUniteci.States, Freemasonrywasalsocondemnedby thethreeCouncilsofBaltimore(1840, 1866,1884);bytheCouncilofNew Orleans(1856);andinCanadabythe CouncilofQuebec(1851).Thedifficultyissometimesraisedthatuntil comparativelyrecenttimesmanyCatholicsinEnglandwereFreemasons. Thisisexplainedbythefactthatthe opinionwascurrentinEnglandthat thePapaldecreeswerenolongervalid inEngland.SomeCatholicsremained intheorder,andoneatleast,Lord Petrie,occupiedtheGrandMastership.LordRipon,whobecameaCatholicin1874,atfirstwasunderthe impressionthathecouldremaina Mason,butwhentheattitude,ofthe Churchwasmadeknowntohim,resignedthe-GrandMastershipandleft theMasonicSoCiety..The.reiteration ofpapalcondemnationleftnodoilbt astoth,eimpOssibilityofbeing-atthe sametimi.itCatholic-andaPrekniason.
