TheQuestionBox

Questionsaboutthedoctrine andpracticeoftheChurchwill beansweredinthissectionweekly.Inquirersaretobeasbrief andclearaspossible.

Gargoyles.

G.C.:GargoylesfoundinGothic ChurchArchitecturearegrotesquefigures,caricaturesrangingfromcherubs tohalfhumanatrocities.Themeaning oftheoriginalFrenchis"throat,"and, strictlyspeaking,agargoyleisaspoon usedtodischargerainwaterfromthe roofsofbuildings.InGothicarchitecturethesewerecarvedtorepresentthe headsofmen,ofdemonsandof mals,symbolsofvariouscharacteristics.Lateron,theywereusedsimply forornamentation.Thebestexamples ofgargoylesaretobefoundinthe CathedralofNotreDame,inParis.

Rawdation.

W.F.:(1)RevelationmeansthecommunicationoftruthsfromGodtoman bymeansoutsidetheordinarycourse ofnature.Thesetruthsmaybemysteries,whichthehumanintellectcannotfullyunderstand,evenafterthey havebeenrevealed.Ontheotherhand, theymaybetruthswhicharenotbeyondthepowersofhumanreason. TheessenceofrevelationiscommunicationfromGodtoman.(2)ThepossibilityofRevelationisprovedfrom thefactthatitisinGod'spowerto maketruthsknownman.Asregards naturaltruths,ifGodseesfittomake theacquisitionofHeaveneasier,by revealingthem,insteadofleavingman todiscoverthemunaided,Heiscertainlynotdoinganythingderogatory toHisDivineWisdom.Therevelation ofmysteries,ontheotherhand,isnot impossible.Theargumentthatmysteriesarerepugnanttowisdom,and thereforeimpossible,hasafalsefoundation.Themysteriesofreligionarenot opposedtoreason,butbeyondit.Althoughwecannotfullyunderstand them,wecannotfindinthemanything contrarytoreason.

Sabbath.

Reader:SabbathisaHebrewword meaningahostorarmy.IntheOld Testament,itisoftenusedtogether withthenameofGod,asatitleof majesty:"theLordGodofHosts." Theexactmeaningofthephrasehas beenvariouslyexplained.According tosomescholars,"hosts"meant,at leastinthefirstplace,thearmiesof Israel.ofwhomGodwasKing;accordingtoothers,itmeanttheHeavenlyHosts,theangelsand,metaphorically,thestarsandtheentireuniverse.

Anorderlyprocedureinthismatter willhalfovercomeitsdifficulties. Letus,first,dealwithitsnameand institutioninthepresentarticle,reservingthenatureoftheMassforthe nextone.

II. Name.

TheHolyMasshasnotalwaysbeen calledbythatname.TheearlyChristians.whousedtocelebratetheEucharisticSacrificeinprivatehomesinconjunctionwithacommunitymeal, "agapecalledthisreligiouscelebration"Thebreakingofthebread,"in latin,fractiopanic.""Andcontinuingdailywithoneaccordinthetemple, andbreakingbreadfromhouseto house!'(Acts.2.46).

SincethedaysofPopeSt.Gregory theGreat,intheseventhcentury,the word"Mass'hasreplacedallother namesgiventotheDivineSacrifice. "MassisaderivationfromtheLatin expression,`Missaest"employedat Masstoindicatethatpeoplearereleasedfromattendance."Missaest"means "dismissed,"closeofprayer."The Englishnamecomesfromthisdismissal. Inancientdays,theLatinexpression, "missaest"seemstohavebeenused, generally,tosignifythecloseofprayer inreligiousservicesorincommunity life.So,forinstance,myHolyFather St.Benedictasfarbackasthesixth century,employsinhis"Rule"theexpression"Missaefiant"toindicatethe endoftheDivineOfficebythecommunity.

Institution.

TheinstitutionoftheHolySacrificeoftheMasscanbeascertainedby meansoftheOldTestament,fromthe New,andfromtradition.Letthe lightoffaithbeourguideinourinvestigation.Likeaburningtorch,let uscarryitaloftinourhands,soasto safelyguideourfeet,acrossthedark nightofunbelief,intothetrueDivinityofChrist.ItisherethattheoriginoftheMassistobefound.

"ButMelchisedechtheKingofSalem, bringingforthbreadandwine,forhe wasthepriestoftheMostHigh,blessedhimandsaid:BlessedbeAbraham bythemosthighGod,Whocreated heavenandearth."

Melchisedechaccordingly,madea foodofferingofbreadandwine,andhe madeitbecausehewasapriest.Now MelchisedechwasafigureofChrist. Consequently,ChristhasofferedsacrificeafterthemannerofMelchisedech, namely,inbreadandwine.But,Christ, beingtherealityofMelchisedech's priesthood,hasofferedsomethingmore thanbreadandwine-otherwisereality isnotopposingthefigure-thatis: ChristhasofferedthesacrificeofHis BodyandBloodundertheappearancesofbreadandwine.Asamatter offact,itistheteachingoftheGospelthatJesus,attheLastSupper, tookbreadinHisBlessedHandsand said:"ThisisMyBody."Then,He tookthechalicewithwineandsaid: "ThisisMyBloodoftheNewTestament."Therightconclusionfromour reasoningisthis:ThatMelchisedech's offeringofbreadandwine,asthefigure,findsexpressionintheofferingof themostpreciousBodyandBloodof ourLordasthereality.

ThefollowingsentencefromtheCate. chismoftheCouncilofTrentisaconfirmationofthetruthfromtheScripture:"TheSaviourHimselfoffered toG6dtheFather,attheLastSupper, HisBodyandBloodunderthespecies ofbreadandwine,declaringHimself constitutedaspriestforeveraccording totheorderofMelchisedech."

Withregardtothepropheciesofthe MassfromtheOldTestament,thebest andclearestprophecyisthatofMalachias."Ihavenopleasureinyou, saiththeLordofHosts:andIwillnot receiveagiftofyourhand;forfrom therisingofthesun,eventothegoing down,mynameisgreatevenamong theGentilesandineveryplacethere isasacrifice,andthereisofferedto mynameacleanoblation,saiththe LordofHosts."(Mal.I.10-11).Malachias,thelastoftheminorprophets, fivehundredyearsbeforeChrist,reprimands,atthebiddingofGod,the priestsofhisowntimeforneglectof DivineWorshipandfortells,"Anew cleanoblationfromtherisingofthe suneventothegoingdown."

SinceLordStrickland,moreover,has becomeheadoftheGovernmentof Malta,alsobyvirtueofCatholicvotes, hisanti-clericalpolicyhasbecomeeven moreaggressive.

1.Hebeganbyattackingintheir capacityofprieststheecclesiasticswho areMembersofParliament.

Thus,asanexample,aslongas CanonBugellirepresentedtheLabour PartyintheHouse,hewascalledby LeofStrickland"thepiusBugelli": whenhowever,thelatter,fearingan encroachmentofsubversiveelements andthinkingitwelltoabandonthe Labourparty,gavehissupporttothe Nationalistparty,hewasthencalled to-LordStrickland"arenegade,the cononwithoutaconscience."

LordStricklandbehavedinasimilar mannertowardsMgr.Ferris.Thelatter,however,onaccountofcertaincalumniesbyLordStricklandwhichappearedinthepress,summonedhimbeforethetribunalintheCriminalCourt andtheCourtofAppealgavejudgment againstLordStrickland.

Thepersonwhoinsultedtheclergy inParliamentwasthesameLord Strickland,who,onthe21stJuly,1923, hadwritteninthe"MaltaHerald,""I havealwaysupheldtherightofthe clergytositinParliament,andhave notonlyproposedbuthaveinsistedto theColonialOfficethataspecialrepresentativeoftheclergyshouldbeprovidedintheConstitutionof1887."

2.Whentherepresentativesofthe clergyintheSenateunabletoapprove anylongerthepolicyofLordStrickland'sjudgment,votedagainsttheLaw ofApprovaloftheGeneralEstimates, LordStricklandlaunchedeverysort ofabusethenwithviolentpublicationscontainingfalsehoodsandcalum-' nieshetriedtoincitethemassofthe peopleagainsttheauthorityofthe Church,portrayingthepriestsasoppressorsoftheworkingclasses.This ledto:-

(a)Hostiledemonstrationsunder thewindowsoftheArchbishop'spalace,withhorribleprofanityagainst ChristtheKing, Inthecircularofthe12thJuly,1928, theArchbishopofMaltainacircular deploredtheeventandexhortedthe peopletomakepublicreparationfor theblasphemies.Meanwhile,asareply tothisreligiousactoftheArchbishop, theministerialpaper,the"DailyMalta Chronicle."ownedbyProfessorB'artolo, atpresentMinisterofEducation,appearedwiththeirreverentcomment "theinaccuracyandprecipitancyofhis GracetheArchbishop'scircular,however,areitsleastobjectionablefeatures,"concludingthattheArchbishop indeploringashehad,theregrettable incidents,hadfallenintothefallacyof "muchadoaboutnothing."

(hiTheleafletentitled"Whodoes notrotemoneyforworkistheexecutioneroftheworkman,""MMma jiyvutaxfinsghasxogholhuaitbojja talhaddiema."printedbyLordStrickland'sprintingoffice,anddistributed byhisparty,were,amongstother things.iswritten:TutheSenators Terinistiwithfullstomachsandfedby thewagesoftheSenate,yourdiscomfortsareofnoaccount;theyearnas muchastheywishandperhapsmore, .romthecourtsandchaptersofcanons;forthemyourtearsareasthe winetheydrinkbeforetheirdessert. Thisisarealvendettaagainstthe bloodoftheMalteseworkman,and forthisvendettatheywilhavetorenderaccounttoGodinthefuture."

TheArchbishopofMalta,fulfilling theobligationofhisministry,tookup thedefenceofhisclergyandshowed thefalsityofthecalumnywithwhich theyhadtriedtodefamethem.Thus, hepublishedalettertohisvicar-general,ofwhichitmayherebeopportune totranscribetheprincipalparts:-

"Theonlyideaoftherepresentatives oftheclergyinvotingthesumsexceeding86,000lireofthereservefundfor thespecialworkswasthatofthegood ofthepeople,andespeciallythatof thepoor.Tothisendtheabove-mentionedsumwasvoted.

"AtthelastsittingoftheSenate, duringWhichonlyquestionsoflegality andformalityweredealtwith,itwas theHon.Mgr.CannonZammitwho, duringthesitting,approachedtheGovernmentinorderthat,onthefollowingdayasittingmightbeheldfor thevotingofmoneyfortheworksof the'HarperArea'andonthesuggestionoftheGovernmentitself,alsoof 4heHospital.

"Wewillhope,mostReverendSignor Vicario,thatnoonewillbelievethe falseinsinuationswhichhaveappeared,sowersofclasshatred,andthat allwhohavenotlosttheirreligious feelingcondemn,togetherwithusthe spiritofdiscordwhichisnotthatof ourLordthePrinceofPeace."

(c)BoththeArchbishopofMalta andtheBishopofGozodidnotfail toapproachLordStrickland,exhortinghimtoputanendtothisfiery anti-socialandanti-clericalcampaign: heansweredthebishopswiththreateningandresentfulletters,and,afew

Onthereadingofthisletter,Lord Stricklandwasmuchupset,and,declaring,inrisingtospeak,thathefelt 'thedisadvantageandthehandicapof beingapracticalCatholic,"hemade thefollowingstatement.Hesaid:"We arenolongergovernedbyprejudice andunlimitedauthority";andobserved"thatthe.timewaspastwhenthe ecclesiasticalauthoritiescouldinterfere incivilmatters,"proceededtoqualify theletterofthetwoSenatorsofthe clergyas"adeclarationofwarforthe nextelections,"whichheacceptedwithoutfear,because,in'Malta"thewomen havenovote,"andbecause"hecould trustthemenofMalta,"sothatfrom thisdeclarationofwarhecouldonly comeoutvictorious.Heconcludednts speechasfollows:"Letthemrememberthatifeducatedandpractical Catholicsinthiscountry,orinany othercountry,aretohavetheirchance intradeorpolitics,thenthosewhoare inthepositionoftheecclesiastical authoritiesshouldnotmakeblunders thatareinexcusable," (elInthesittingofthe21stFebruary,'1929,heattackedinavulgarmannerthethenVicar-GeneralofMalta, Mgr.Camilleri,goingsofarasisapply tohimaveryoffensivenick-naine.The ArchbishopofMaltaagainsewhimself forcedbydutytowritetohisvicara publicletterofprotestig.nosttheatrocityofthecalurnsbroughtapstinst him;in:tsiecategormailelensed:1.e calumnyanipoinze,.!outhowsucha scandalousandoffensiveincidentobligedhimtodefinecondemningit,as anti-clerical,thepolicyofLordStrickland, 3.Theseattemptstoincitethework. ineclassesagainsttheclergybymeans ofinsinuations,calumniesandMisstatementsoffacts;theseinsultshurled,onemightsay.dailybytheParliamentaryTribuneandbythepress againstthereligiousauthoritiesofthe islands,andagainsttheArchbishop Caruanahimself,amanmostdevoted totheEmpireandfullofrespectta wardsthepersonofLordSthekland himself,weremorethansufficientmotivesiscreateanopenbreachbetween Churchan.1Covernmeni,andtocon straintheecclesiasticalauthoritiesto declarethepolicyof 17AStri,kland hostiletotheChurchandevenharm.

PeoplesaidthatJackMulcahywas peculiar,becauseheseemedunableto fretwhensorrowcame.Whenahorse fellintoadyke,oracowdiedsuddenly,lossesthatincasesturnedother mentodrink,Jacktookthematter easilyandpointedouthowthings couldhemuchworse.

Jackhadreachedthefourmilesof long,.straightroad,lonelybutbeautiful,whichlaybetweenhimandhis home.whenheperceivedamanwalkingstumblinglyalong.Presentlyhe recognisedhimasapoorblindfiddler, knownasPatBradley,whoformany yearshadatperiodsattendedthatdistrict.Thodghtsoftwentyyearsbefore cametoJack,whenthissamefiddler playedattheweddingfestivitiesin Knockglos.

"Why,Padmyman,isityou?" askedJack,ashesprangoffthecart togreettheblindman.

"Wisha,isitJackMulcahyI'mtalkingto?And'tisthemercyofthe goodGodthatsentyou,because'tis tiredI'mfeeling.Iammakingfor yourhouse,Jack."

"Andnoonewillbemorewelcome. Pad.Situp.andwewillbegoing."

Theblindmanwashelpedintothe cartandmadeascomfortableaswas possible.Thejourneywasresumed.

"Andhowareyou,Jack?"askedthe blindman.

"Well,itstheway,Pad,wecould beagreatdealworsethanweare," answeredthefarmer."Wehaveour healthandstrengthandtheblessing ofGod:andwhatmoredowewant?"

"Itistrueforyou,Jack"addedthe blindman."Youarebetterthan happy.foryouknowthatyouare happy."

"Andyourrequestwasgranted?" askedthefarmer.

"Inthisveryparish,Pad,therewas afarmer,whohadasniceaplaceas you'dseeinaday'swalk,andhethrew itallupandwentforeign.Ihearnow thathewouldgivemuchtohavethe samechancesagain.Hehadallthe meansofbeinghappy-butIamforgettingtoaskyouwhatkeptyouso longfromusthistime?"
