CatholicsandtheBible

(BytheMostReverendAlbanGoodier

WeCatholicsbelievethattheBible isthewordofGod.Webelievethat sincethegoodGodhaschosento.lift menupfromthenaturaltothesupernaturallife,tooffermannotonlythe rewardoflifeonearthbutastill greaterrewardwith.Himselfinheaven, Hehasalsogiventhemthemeansby whichtheymaygainit.Thisimplies aknowledgewhichmencouldnever attainbytheirownstudyalone;itimpliesthatGodhasrevealedtomen thingsbeyondthem,truthssupernatural,ofHisownaccord.Thisis whatismeantby"revelation";and whenweusetheword"faith,"we meanbeliefinwhateverGodhasso revealed,whetherourhumanreason canunderstanditornot.

Thisrevelationofdivinetruth,to helpmantoattaintothesupernatural life,wasnotallgivenatonce.Itwas givenduringthecourseofmanycenturies,reachingbeyondathousand years.Itwasgiventoaspecialrace, whomweknowas"thechosenpeople," andtospecialmeninthatrace.These men,thoughtheyspokeinhumanlanguage,andthoughtaccordingtothe mindoftheirtimes,and'coulderrin humanthingslikeanybodyelse,yet whentheyspokeorwroteaccordingto God'sdictationwerepreservedfrom error,wereinspiredtowritethetruth ofGodasHerevealedittothem;and thisiswhatwemeanby"inspiration."

Nowtheworkswhichthesemen wrote,duringthecourseofovera thousandyears,arecollectedintoone book,andthatbookiscalledtheBible whichmeansnomorethan"The Book."Thisiswhywesaythatthe BibleisthewordofGod,thatitstruths havebeenrevealedbyGod,thatits authorshavebeeninspired.Andif weaskhowweknowthatwehavethe rightBookwhichisthewordofGod, theansweristhatwehaveitonthe testimony,teachingandauthorityof theCatholicChurch.Withoutthecare andtraditionoftheCatholicChurch itisdifficulttoseehowtheBiblecould everhavebeenpreservedorhow,havingbeenpreserved,itcouldeverhave beenrightlyunderstoodorinterpreted. Fromthebeginningshecarefullypreservedthetradition;fromthebeginningherownscholarsdidallthey couldtopreserveitfromerrorandto interpretitsmeaning;onlywhenmen brokeloosefromhertradition,andbegantointerprettheBiblefotthemselves,didtherecomedoubtandconfusion.ForthentheBibleceasedto bethewordofGodforthem;it becameonlywhattheychosetoread intoit.

S.J.,ArchbishopofHierapolis.) "Inwhicharecertainthingshardto understand,whichtheunlearnedand Unstablewrest,astheydoalsothe otherScriptures,totheirowndestruction.You,therefore,brethren,knowingthesethingsbefore,takeheed,lest, beingledasidebytheerroroftheunwise,youfallfromyourownsteadfastness"(2)Pet.iii,16,17).

InthesamewaySt.Paul,writingto Timothy,encourageshimtoteachfrom theScriptures,butwarnshimalsoto teachfromthem,notaccordingtohis ownidea,butaccordingtothetraditionwhichhehaslearnt:

"Continuethouinthosethingswhich havebeencommittedtothee;knowing ofwhomthouhaslearnedthem:and becausefromthyinfancythouhast knowntheholyScriptures,whichcan instructtheetosalvationbythefaith whichisinChristJesus"(2Tim.iii,. 14,15).

WemayquoteSt.Augstinetoshow thathe,too,wasofthesamemind.He says:

"Ifthereisnobranchoflearning, howeverhumbleandeasytolearn, whichdoesnotrequireamaster,what canbeagreatersignofrashnessand pridethantorefusetostudythe booksofthedivinemysteriesbythe helpofthosewhohaveinterpreted them?"

OfCardinalMoran,hesays: PatrickFrancisMoran,thirdArchbishopofSydney,andfirstCardinalof Australia,isoneofthemostsignificantfiguresinthehistoryoftheCommonwealth.Itisnoexaggerationto saythathecontributedmorethanany otherman,tothefoundationofmodernAustralia.Heforecastedand urgedthenecessityfortheAustralian Federation,theNavyandtheCitizen soldiery.Themanymonumentsto hismemorytestifytotheesteemin whichhewasheldbyallparties.

Hewasbornin,Ireland,atLeighlinbridge,in1830,theonlysonofPatrickMoranandAliceCullen,sisterof theCardinal.Orphanedatanearly age,hewassenttostudyinRome.He becameVice-RectoroftheIrishCollege,ProfessorofHebrewatPropaganda,andVice-RectoroftheScots

College.Frombeingsecretary&his uncletheCardinal,whomsheaTFompalsiedtotheVaticanCouncilandto whoseinfluenceheowedmuch,hebecameBishopofAlboinpartibusand co-adjutortotheBishopofOssory.

AsanIrishmanhewasavigorous championofHomeRuleandheprovedhimselfacapablediploniat.

HewastranslatedtoSydneyas Archbishop,beingPopeLeoKIII.'s personalchoice,in1884,andcreated Cardinal-PriestofS.Susannainthe followingyear.Hispastoralworkwas amazinginextent-hefoundednoless thanthirty-twoCharitiesbesidesnew parishesandschoolsinSydney.He diedatManlyin1911.

ItissometimessaidthattheCatholicsdonotknowtheBible,thatthe CatholicChurchhasneglectedit,and hassubstitutedherowndogmainits stead.Nothingcouldbemoreuntrue. InthefirstplasceherdogmaisentirelybuiltupontheBible;sheherself choosestheBibleasthebasisofher teaching;ifadoctrinecanbeshown todifferfromtheteachingofthe Bible,thenshedeclaresatoncethat thedoctrineisunsound;ifonthe otherhanditcanbeprovedtobeidenticalwiththatoftheBible,thenshe declaresitanarticleoffaith.Inother wordsthedoctrinesof'theChurchmay practicallybecalledtherightinterpretationoftheBible.-Inthesecond placeitmaysafelybesaidthatinside theChurchtherehavealwaysbeen. andtherestillare,morestudentsof theBible,andmoreBiblescholars, thaninalltherestoftheworldput together,eventhoughformanygood reasons,theirvoicesarelessoften heardthanarethevoicesofothers.

Still,whenallthisissaid,itremains truethatwecanneverknowtheBible toowell;andifwereaditwiththe rightguidancethereisnobookwhich willmorerepayourstudy,bothfor ourselvesandforothers.Tobegin with,therearethefourGospels.These wecanallread.Theytellusofour Lordasnootherbookcantellus,and thereisnoknowledgegreaterthan that.Theyprovideuswithmatterfor ourprayerwhichnootherbookcan provide;hewhomadethefourGospelshisregularprayerbookwould soonlearnhowtopray.Theyteach usprinciplesofmorallifewhichno othercanteach;hewholivedupto theSermonontheMountwouldhe ahappymanandasaint.

DemocracyandtheChurch

IrishChampionsofCivilLiberty.

ChargesthattheCatholicChurchis inprincipleorpracticeopposedtocivil liberties,andisamenacetofreeinstitutions,wereansweredbyRt.Rev.

Joseph.Schrembs,BishopofCleveland, Ohio,attheAnnualConferenceofthe Laymen'sRetreatMovement.

"AlthoughtheDivineFounderof Christianitydidnotintendtointerfere withcivilgovernments,"hesaid,"yet theverynature#ndthetendencyof Hisdoctrineswastoequalisethesocial conditionsofmankind.

"Hiswasareligionwhichsolaced andraisedupthepoor,andtaught thoseinpowertobeartheirhonours meekly,andtorememberthatbefore Godallareequal,forwithHimthere isnoacceptationofpersons.TheCatholicChurchhaseverbeenguidedby theseprinciples.Shehasalwaysproclaimedthetruththatallmankind werebornalike,childrenofwrathand thatbybaptismtheyallbecomechildrenofGod."

ThroughtheAges.

QuotingtheencyclicalletterofPope LeoXIII.ontheconstitutionofChristianStates,theBishopdeclaredthat theChurch,speakingthroughherhigh estauthority,positivelydisclaimedall righttointerferewithcivilgovernments,actingintheirpropersphere, andshehadalwaysfollowedthisprincipleinpractice.

The-Bishopthenpassedontohis tory,recallingthatPontiffsandbishopshadassertedthemselvestocruel oppressivemonarchs,sometimes payingfortheircouragewiththeir lives.

"ACatholicbishop-foundstheRepublicofAndorraandaCatholicmonk thatofMarino,whichisoverfifteen hundredyearsold,andtheChurchprotectedboth."theBishopcontinued.

"UndertheauspicesoftheChurch, Venice,Genoa,Florence,Pisa,Vienna, lirescia,BergamoandMilanbecamea galaxyoffreedemocraticgovernments, sheddingalightofgloryandhappiness awlprosperityupontheItalianpeople whichcomparesfavourablywiththe conditionsofthe'UnitedItaly'oftoclay.

Werethet'atholicbishopsand baronswhowrested'MagnaCharta' CrumthehandsofthetyrantJohnon thefamousplainsofRunnymedein 1215enemie:,ofcivilliberty?"asked BishopSchrembs.Hepointed,too, toWilliam'Wallace,RobertBruce, WilliamTell,theKnightsofSt.John, andotherswhostruggledinthecause ofliberty.

ks,exceptthatinsomeofhislast writinghisbitterfeelingsinthisregardseemedsomewhatmitigated.Becauseofhisanti-clericlmentality,his children,includingDr.Aldo,whowas bornin1883,wereneverbaptised.

Atthepresenttime,Dr.AldoMezzabottaisafunctionaryoftheItalian policeandisthefatherofthreechildren,allofwhomhehadbaptisedand educatedintheCatholicreligion.He himself,however,alwaysremained,as hisfatherhadbroughthimup,completelyoutsidetheinfluenceofthe Church.Buthismindwaswelldisposed,and,afterpeacehadbeenrealised betweentheChurchandItaly,hebelievedthat,alsoaccordingtopaternal sentiment,thedifficultythathadkept himawayfromtheChurchhadbeen overcome.Heaccordinglyaskedto receiveBaptismandtheotherSacramentsoftheChurch.

*CongratulatedbyFascists.

Hewaswarmlyreceivedbytheecclesiasticalauthorities,and,aftera convenientdiscussionandpreparation, wasbaptisedandreceivedFirstCommunionintheparishchurchofLido, nearVenice,whereheresided,onthe FeastoftheImmaculateConception.

Theotherincidentcametolight withtherecentpublicationofajudgmentbythethirdsectionoftheTribunalofRome.ItdealtwithacertainGiordaoBrunoDaveli,whowas borninRomein1889,andwasaresidentofGenoa.Thepetitionerinthis easewasal,obornatatimewhen thetensionbetweentheChurchand theStatewasgreat.andboreanindelibleindicationofthisfactinhisname - GiordanoBruno,thatofaDominicanfriarwhobecameahereticandwas burnedatthestakeinRomein1600.

Daveli,whenhebecameolder,was nothimselffarfromtheChurch,but alwaysexhibitedferventCatholicsentiments.Asaconsequence,hegreatly dislikedthenamethatrecalledthe anti-Christiansentimentswhichwere hisfather's,butnothisown.

Italsoorderedthat,inofinformitv,all documentspertainingtoMr.Davelibe correctedaccordingly.

Theseincidentsrecallstrikinglythe memorablediscoursepronouncedby HisHolinessPopePiusXI.,whenthe entirediplomaticcorpsaccreditedto theVaticancalleduponhimtoextend theirfelicitationsonthesettlementof theRomanQuestion.Inthatdiscourse,theHolyFatherdeclaredthat amongthethousandsofcongratulatorylettershehadreceivedfromall partsoftheworldontheoccasionof theConciliation,thosemostdearto himwerethosewhichhadcometo him,innoindifferentnumber,from peoplewhosaidthatfromthemoment peacewasmadebetweentheHoly SeeandItaly,theyhadbegunto"fare lePasqua"(tocelebrateEaster)-that is,theyhadbegunagaintopractise theirreligion,whichtheyhadpreviouslydesertedthroughtheconsideration ofpoliticalevents.-"CatholicLeader."
