TheBeliefofDr.Barnes

JesuitQuestionsAnglicanBishopof Birmingham.

Rev.FatherFrancisWoodlock,S.J., atSt.Chad'sCathedral,Birmingham, dealtwiththeattitudeofDr.Barnes, theAnglicanBishopofBirmingham, towardsthe'BlessedSacrament.He asked:

"DoesBishopBarnesbelievethat Christ,atHisfarewellsupperwithHis Apostles,intendedtoinstitutetheSac ramentandbadeHisApostlesto'Do this'afterHisascensionintoHeaven? Ordoeshenotrathersuggestthat Christwouldhavebeensurprisedhad HeknownhowtheChurchwouldobservetheEucharisticfeastasaSacramentandaSacrifice?

"TheBishopsuggestedatOxford thatitwastheChurchwhichinvented theSacrament,notChrist;andthe Church,notguidedbytheHolySpirit, butundertheinfluenceofitspagan environment,inwhichthemagico(the mysteryreligionsflourished.Inhis OxfordpaperDr.Barnescommendeci theuseofHolyCommunion,because, inspiteofitsprobablypaganorigin andassociations,Godhaduseditas thechannelofreligiousexperiencesin soulsduringtheChristianera.

"LettheBishopofBirminghamdeclareopenly,"saidFatherWoodlock, "thathebelievestheHolyCommunion tohavebeenplannedandinstituted byChristattheLastSupperasagift toHisChurch,andthenhemaygoon toexpresshisreasonsforrejecting theCatholicdoctrineofTransubstan-

FatherWoodlock,dealingwiththe reunionproblem,saidbitterthings hadbeensaidagainstRomebecause ofherinsistenceonsubmissionto Papalsupremacyandinfallibilityas essentialconditionsofreunion.

LetRome'sadversariesremember that,weretheChurchtounsayanyof herdefineddogmas,shewouldcommit suicideandwouldceasetoexistasa teachingChurchwhichclaimedtobe infallible.OnCatholicprinciples,once adogmawasdefined,thewholeteachingauthorityoftheChurchwasinvolvedinthatdogma,sothattheVaticandecreeofthePapalprerogatives andthedogmasdefinedatNiceaand enshrinedinthefirstconciliaryCreed wereequallyirreformabletoCatholics to-day.

TherewasnothingintheOldorNew Testamentstosuggestwhyitshould besocalled.HefoundintheBible abrokenrecordofmenblindlyseekingafterGod,andthey(themembers oftheConference,Isuppose),could notfindanythingelse."

Tomymind,theCanon'sutterance ishonestandchaotic,andneednot havecalledforthanywrangling.To makeitclear,Iwouldputitincatecheticalformthus:

Q.:"IsanythingimpossibletoCanon Lacey?"

A.:"ToCanonLaceythreethings areimpossible."

Q.:"Whatarethesethreethings?"

A.:"Thesethreethingsarekeeping silence,regardingtheBibleasone book,andspeakingoftheBibleasthe WordofGod."

Furthermore,Iwouldpointoutthat theCanonlightedonthedelightfuldis coverythatintheBiblemen"broke therecord,"inseekingafterGod.In theScripturalstyleofputtingthelast first,ImustcommendtheCanonfor thisdiscovery,whichisnotstartling, becausethat'sexactlywhatalltrue ChristiansknewtheBibletocontain, sinceevertheCatholicChurchcompiledit.Ofalltherecordsbrokenof whichtheBibletellsns,thegreatest is,ofcourse,therecordofmenblindly seekingafterGod,andfindingHim.

WithregardtotheCanon'simpossibilities,firstofall,I'msurehecould keepsilenceifhetried.Secoidly, itisverydesirablethatheshould keepsilence,untilhelearnstomaka abetteruseofthegiftofspeech.

TheCatholicChurchmadetheBible, bycollectingthedifferentbooksof whichitiscomposed;itrejectedseveralother'scriptures"andpronouncedofwhatitapprovedastheWordof God.NoProtestantwhorejectsthe authorityoftheCatholicChurchhas anysolidgroundsforbelievingthe BibletobetheWordofGod.

InacontroversyontheCanon'sutterance,onemantoldwiththeairof Cortezandhismengazingonthat peakinDarien,that"ifthe'Bibleis nottheWordofGod,thenChristhas leftusnowrittenrecordofHimself."

OfcourseHehasn't.Heneverwrote awordoftheBible.Hewrotesome wordsonthesand,once,butthewind blewthemaway,andthatwasthe onlyinstancerecordedofHishaving written.

(ByCHARLESJ.ROONEY,for"TheRecord.")

DuringthisgreatCentenaryyearof WesternAustralia,manyinteresting historicalitemshavebeenpublished inthepapers;butthesedealtespeci- allywiththeearlydaysofthesettlementofthisStateandthehardships andprivationsofthebraveandhardyoldpioneerswhoarrivedhereduring thefirsthalfofthelastcentury.

Iwasaboyatthetimethatgold wasdiscoveredatHall'sCreek,in Kimberley,andmyfather,incommon withhundredsofothers,becameinfect. edwiththegoldfever,sothatonthe 8th.ofJune,1886,weleftSydneyfor CambridgeGulfonboardthes.s.Haverton,anoldtrampsteamerofabout 1,500tons,whichwasloadedtothe limitwithdiggers,horsesandcargofor thewonderfulgoldfield,whereitwas reportedgoldcouldbeshakenoutof thespinifexroots.Wehadpractical- lynoknowledgeofthecountrywe wereboundfor,asWestAustraliawad aterraincognitatomostoftheinhabitantsoftheEasternStatesin thosedays.Weweretoldthatthe landwasdryandarid,andfullofhostilenatives,butwewentforthwith somethingoftheadventurousspiritof theoldbuccaneersinquestofgold,and preparedtofacehardshipandeven death.Ourshipmateswereamotley gatheringofallclasses,andcomprised diggers,fossickers,andhatters,from thegoldfieldsofNewZealand,Queens- land,andVictoria;shearers,shepherds,androuseaboutsfrominlandstations;alsobushwhackersandafew ex-soldierslatelyfromtheSoudan, wherethefirstAustraliancontingent hadhelpedEnglandagainstArabia Pasha.Almosteverynationalitywas represented,withtheexceptionofAsiatics,andthisheterogeneouscollection ofdie-bardswasquiteagoodtempered andjovialcrew.Notwithstandingthe factthateverymanwaswellarmed forprotectionagainstthewildblacks, whoweresaidtob,fierceandwarlike, sNehadfineweatherandanenjoyable tripalongtheGreatBarrierReef,and foundmuchpleasureinviewingthe hundredsofprettygreenislandsofthe PercyGroup,whichextendforagreat distancealongthecoast.
