Farm-streetChurchtheJesuit ChurchLondon)wascrowdedto itsutmostcapacitywhenFatherWoodlockspokeon"ThePopeandMalta,' onarecentSundayafternoon.

Outsidethepagesoffictionfewlivingmencanhavehadtheexperience ofhearingtheirpoliciescriticisedfrom thepulpit,asLordStricklandhad whenhesatwithSirAugustusBartolo, hisEducationMinister,andotherMaltesefriends.

FatherWoodlockdeclaredthatit was-sothispurposetoattempttodisentangletheintricaciesofMalteselocalpolitics.Hewished,asfaraspossible,toconfinehimselftothedispute betweentheVaticanandtheBritish ForeignOffice,asrecountedinthetwo officialbooks,theIB'ritishBlueBook andtheVaticanWhiteBook,which waspublishedinreplyandwhichcorrectedthefalseimpressionofthecase presentedbytheGovernment'sdocument.

SorryFigure.

"AcarefulstudyoftheBritishGovernment'sBlueBook,alongwiththe recentlypublishedVaticanWhite Bookonthesubject,revealsthehistoryofacontestbetweentheBritish GovernmentandthePopeinwhichthe ForeignOfficediplomacycutsasorry figure,"saidFatherWoodlock.

"AftereveryroundhadbeenpalpablylostbyourForeignOffice,the contestisbroughttoanendforthe timebeingbytwofoulblows,inflicted ontheMaltesepeople-thesuppression oftheelectionsbytheGovernor,an actwhichthehighestLawCourtsof theIslanddeclaredtobeultravises, andthenthewithdrawaloftheConstitutionalmeasureof'HomeRule,' whichhadbeengrantedafter120 yearsofloyaltytoapeoplewhocame undertheBritishCrownoftheirown freewillandnotbyrightofconquest in1801."

ThepreachershowedthattheMicallefcasewasoneinwhichtheinterferenceoftheMalteseMinistrywasunjustified.TheForeignOfficedropped thecaseandadmittedthePope'sright inthismatterofpurelyreligiousdiscipline.

InterferenceUnjustifiable

FatherWoodlocknextdiscussedthe accusationoftheMalteseMinistrythat theiropponentswereworkingforthe substitutionoftheItalianflagforthat ofEnglandandatransferofallegiance. Thisaccusation,hesaid,wasobviously madetowinoverpublicopinionin EnglandtothesideofLordStrickland,buttheGovernmenthadtoadmitthattherewasnotatraceofevidenceforsuchdisloyalaimsinthe opponentsoftheMinistry.

Itfollowed,therefore,thattheForeignOfficewasinterferinginpurely localpoliticsinvolvingnoImperialinterestsanditsinterferencewasunjustifiable.Onthe-otherhandtheinterventionoftheVaticanwasattherequestoftheMalteseGovernmenttransmittedthroughtheForeignOffice.

TheRimBook.saidFatherWoodlock,give-,anaccountofthecordial acceptanceofMgr.RobinsonasApostolicDelegate,andpublishesaeulogisticreportfromtheGovernorastothe thoroughwayinwhichheconducted hisinvestigations.

FatherWoodlockwentontosay thatthenextpointinwhichthePope's actionwasseentobequitefairand thatoftheForeignOfficeindefensible, wasthereiterateddemandthatthe Popeshouldforbidtheclergytoexerciseanypoliticalactivity.Father WoodlockexplainedthespecialcircumstancesoftheMalteseclergyandtheir specialprivilegesunderthe1921Constitution. ForeignOfficeDemand.

"ThroughouttheForeignOfficedemandedfromtheVaticanthatit shouldexerciseitsauthoritytosuppressallpoliticalactivitybytheclergy bothinandoutsideParliament.The Popenaturallyrefusedtoeliminate theopponentsofLordStricklandby thuswithdrawingfromtherightsspeciallyconferredonthembythe(*Constitution.InthiswaythePopewas manifestlyintherightandtheForeignOfficeinthewrong."

Again,inthematterofthedeclarationofLordStricklandtobea"personanongrata"andtherefusalofan audienceinsRomeandsubsequently

ofthemakingofthewithdrawalof thePrimeMinisteraconditionforthe Pope'sentryintonegotiationsfora Concordat,FatherWoodlockshowed theactionoftheHolyFathertobe perfectlyandalsodiplomaticallycorrect.

"TohavereceivedLordStricklandin audiencewouldhavebeentomarkas apersonagrataonewhomHisApostolicDelegate,afteranexhaustiveinquiry,hadreportedtobethesource ofalltherecenttroubleinMaltaon accountofhisanti-clericalandantiCatholicactivities.Itwouldhavebeen anit condemnationoftheBishops,hisopponents.

"WhentheForeignOfficetookthe viewthattheeliminationofLord Stricklandasapreliminarycondition totheopeningofnegotiationsforthe concordat,wasaninsulttothe,Fs'ritishGovernment,itforgotthatinsuch negotiationseachsidehadadiplomatic righttolaydownconditionsandin thecircumstancestheconditionproposedbythePopewaseminentlyreasonable,thereasonsbeingcogentlyexpoundedintheWhiteBook.Hereagain Britishdiplomacy,nottheVatican, wasatfault.

"TheBishops'Pastoral,whichwarn-. edthepeoplethattovoteforLord Stricklandorthosewhowerehisabettorsinhisanti-religiouspolicywould betoincurtheguiltofmortalsin,from whichtherewouldhenoabsolution withoutrepentanceandwithdrawalof supportfromtheenemiesoftheChurch wastheoccasionofthesuppressionof theelectionsandlateroftheConstitution."

FatherWoodlockshowedhowthe Bishopsonlyappliedtotheparticular circumstancesoftheislandtheprinciplethatthememberofParliamentbeingtherepresentativeoftheelectors, theyco-operatewithhimforgoodor illif,withknowledgeofhispolicy, theyhelptoreturnhimastheirmember.TheChurchhasadutytogive clearguidancefortheconscientious useofthevote.

Apoliticalparty,saidFatherWoodlock,notrecognisingtherightsof Catholicparentsandchildren,andconcludingthatundenominationalism-or perhapsatheismasinRussia-wasin theinterestsofthecountry,might proposetheabolitionofCatholic schoolsandobligatoryattendanceof allchildrenattheinstructionsofatheisticorirreligious,oratleastnonCatholicteachers.

InsuchacasetheBishopswould nodoubtremindCatholicsthattosupportsuchaparty'wasgrievouslysinful.

ImpasseComplete.

"Thefinalstageofthequarrel,and thelastwordoftheForeignOffice,is todemandfromthePopeanorderto theMaltesebishopstowithdrawtheir pastoralandre-cantitsteaching.As longastheHolyFathearefusestodo this.theBritishGovernmentdeclares itselfunwillingtohaveanyfurther negotiationswithit.

'Theimpasseseemscomplete:the HolyFathercanneverfulfilthiscondition.

"TheloyaltyoftheMaltese,deprivedautocraticallybyaLabourGovernmentofthe'HomeRule'which theyhavewaited120yearstoreceive, willbesadlystrainedbythepresent situation.

"Therehavebeenblundersinthis diplomaticepisode,butthestudyof theBlueandWhiteBooksshow,Ibelieve,thattheblundersweremadeby theBritishGovernmentinLondonand Malta.andnotbythePopeinRome."

FatherWoodlockconcludedbyaskingthecongregationtoprayearnestly forpeace.

"Onemanistheoccasionandthe causeofthestateofthingswhichhas sosaddenedtheheartsofCatholicsall overtheworldandhas,inEngland, ledtoarevivalof'NoPopery'cries andbitterbigotry.Letuspraythat God'sgracemayinspireinhimsome courseofactionwhichmayleadto hisbeingforgivenandwelcomedbythe VicarofChristbeforehedies,asa 'personagratissima.'"-("TheUniverse.")

Itwillbewelltoremindmyreaders thattheMassoftheCatechumens,as wellastheMassoftheFaithful,isa socialfunction.ItisaunitedcommunityprayerItistheactionofallthe congregationpresentforagreatpurpose,namely,theofferingoftheVictiminsacrifice.Thesocialelementis thefirstcharacteristicofallsacrifice.

Inthesacrificesofold,whetherJewishorPagan,theunitedeffortofall thecongregationinthereligiousperformanceisverystriking.Asuperficialreadingof"Exodus"of"Leviticus"ortheBookofEsdrasintheOld Testamentisenoughtoconvince.

TheceremonyonMountCalvaryis alsoinvestedwiththesameelement ofunity.-Lookhowthefriendsof Jesusattendedthedivinetragedy,unitedbyabondofcommonlove.They actedasco-offererswithChrist.Mary, HisMother,St.JohnthebeloveddiscipleMaryMagdalene,weernotmute spectatorsonCalvary.Theycentred alltheirattentiononthedyingSaviour, andofferedtheDivineVictimunited bythebondofsufferingandlovefor theirRedeemer.

TheBattleAgainstTheosophy

Inthecurrentnumberof"TheAustralianMessengeroftheSacredHeart," theRev.EustaceBoylan,S.J.,writes: Theosophy,which,duringthelifetimeofMadameBlavatsky,itsmodernhighpriestess,madeaconsiderable noiseintheworld,has,sinceherdeath lostmuchofitsinfluence-atallevents, amongwesternpeoples-andhasbeen rentbydissensionsandschisms.

Thereis,however,acertainfascinationinTheosophy,withitsstrange mysticism,itsMahatmasorGreat Spirits,itsoccultism,itsBlackMagic controlledbyevilspirits,itsWhite Magicsupportedbygoodspirits,its doctrineofre-incarnation,itsKarma, orretributionanditswierdandprofoundlydepressingconceptionofthe DivineNature."Hewhohasmastered theoccultsciences,"saidColonel01cott,theco-founderwithMadame'BlavatskyoftheTheosophicalSociety, "finds,dwellinginfire,air,earth,and water,asub-humanorderofthings, someinimical,somefavourabletoman. Henotonlycomestoaknowledgeof them,butalsotothepowercontrollingthem. Idonotsurmisethis: Iknowit.Ihavemettheseproficients ofAsiaticOccultismandhaveseen themexercisetheirpower."

Inthebreak-upofProtestantism,a certainnumberofformerChristians cravingforsomeformofreligion,drift intoTheosophymainlythrough'fascinationofthepromisedmarvelsreferred tobyColonelOlcott.

TheTheosophicalSocietywasfoundedin1875inNewYorkbyMme.BlavatskyandColonelOlcott.Itsfounders migratedtoIndiain1878andthereremodelledtheSociety.Itsobjectswere:

(2)TopromotethestudyofAryan andotherEasternliteratures,religions, andthepowerslatentinman.

(31Toinvestigateunexplainedlaws ofNatureandthepsychicalpowersof man.

HereistheideaofGod,assetout inMme.Blayatsky's"KeytoTheosophy"--akindofCatechism.

"DoyoubelieveinGod-theGodof theChristianstheBiblicalGod?"

"InsuchaGodwedonotbelieve. Werejectthenotionofapersonal,or anextra-cosmicGod. TheGodof theologyisablindleofcontradictions. Wewillhavenothingtodowithhim"

"ThenyouareAtheists?"

"Notthatweknowof.Webelieve inaDivineUniversalPrinciple,the rootofall,fromwhichallproceeds, andwithinwhichallshallbeabsorbed attheendofthegreatcycleofBeing.
