AnglicanArchbishopHailsPapalEncyclicalsas"GreatLandmarks"

AdmitsReformationasSourceofSocialEvils

GeneralCorrespondenceWithCatholicThought

ThefollowingarticlewaswrittenbytheAnglicanArchbishopof York,England(Dr.Temple)for"TheListener,'asoneofaseriesof talkson"ASocialCharter."Itisremarkableforthetributeitpays tothePapalSocialEncyclicals,foritsacknowledgmentoftheReformationasthehistoricalsourceofthesocialproblem,andforits generalcorrespondencewithCatholicsocialthought.

Thelasthundredyears,andconspicuouslythelastfiftyyears,have seenagreatrevivalofthetraditionof theChurchconcerningtheorderingof sociallife.Twogreatlandmarksin thatrevivalarethetwoPapalEncyclicals"RerumNovarum"(issuedby LeoXIIIin1891),and"Quadragesimo Anno"(issuedbyPiusXIin1931,to commemoratethefortiethanniversary oftheformer)...Thesetwogreatpronouncements,forwhichallChristendomshouldbegrateful,aretobemore fullyexpoundedinthetalkswhichwill follow.Mytaskhereistoillustrate tosomeextentthemovementasa wholeinwhichthosetwoEncyclicals takeaveryprominentplace.

RightsandDutiesofProperty, THEREisacontinuoustradition ofChristianteachingonsuch subjectsasthenature,rightand dutiesofproperty,fromtheNewTestamenttothelaterMiddleAges.It wasnotunchanging;itwasverymuch alive,andaccordinglyshowedrealdevelopment;butthisdevelopmentwas markedbycontinuity;itwasthe growthofalivingtraditionwhichinfluencedconductandwasinfluencedby experience.Itispossibletopointto certainmainstagr,sinthedevelopment, Inthefirstperiod,theChurchwas aminority-unable.'"cocontrolgeneral policy;soitsthinkingwasratherabstractanddetached,andshowedmore interestinidealconceptionsthanin thedirectionofpractice.Accordingly itwasinsistedthatpropertyowesits origintosin,forifallmenlovedtheir neighboursasthemselvesallthings couldbetreatedascommontoallmen withoutriskthatsomewouldtakemore thantheirshareanddepriveothers. Thatisperfectlytrue,andisimportant asabackground.Butitdoesnothelp ustodealwiththeproblemsofthe sinfulworld.

WiththeConversionofConstantine, theChurchenteredonaperiodofpracticalinfluenceandtheemphasischanged.Whiletheoriginofpropertywas stilltracedtosin,itwasrecognised asnecessarysolongasmenaresinful, andtheeffortwasmadewithsteadily

greatersuccesstodefineitsrightsand dutiesinrelationtoeachother.The Churchwassuccessfulinsecuringuniversalrecognitionoftheprinciplethat property-ownersaremorallyentitledto rightsovertheirpropertyonlysolong astheydischargefunctionsinthelife ofsocietyassociatedwithit.

ThenSt.ThomasAquinasintroducedfromAristotlethenotionthatsome propertyisnecessaryasameanstothe fullexpressionofpersonality.This maybecalledthepositivesideofthe earlierdoctrinethatpropertyisrooted insin:forsinisself-centredness;and whatthisdoctrinesaysisthatpropertyisnecessaryforself-expression.I thinkyouwillfindthatintheexpositionofPopeLeoXIII'sEncyclicalthis viewofpropertywillbepresentedas underlyingalltheteachingoftheRomanCatholicChurchonthissubject.

IntheentireeconomicschemeofSt. Thomas,thetwopillar-doctrinesare theprohibitionofusury(aboutwhich MosesandAristotleagreed)andthe justprice,asdistinctfrombuying cheapandsellingdear.Later,as commercedeveloped,wefindSt.AntoninoofFlorencedevelopingand qualifyingtheteachingofSt.Thomas tomeettheproblemsofamorecomplexage.Hewasconfrontedwiththe developmentsofcitylife,andthekind ofcommercewhichitfacilitates.Trade wastakingmoreindirectformsinplace ofrelativelydirectexchanges,andhe hadtoallowformeansbywhicheach stageinacomplextransactionmight beremunerative.

Butallthisteachingwasprimarily adaptedtoapeasantcivilisation.Lutherwasapeasant,andfollowedthe tradition.ButCalvinlivedinacity, andwaspressedbytheneedsofthe newerurbancivilisation.Hegavea grudgingandstrictlyguardedassentto usury.Heonlysetthedoorajar;but whenonceitwasunlatcheditwould soonflywideopen,unlessnewprinciplesfortheregulationofintereston commercialloanswerescientifically workedout.Thiswasnotdone.The mottooftheagewasindependencefor everydepartmentoflife:artforart's sake,businessisbusiness:andcivilisationsetitscourseonthetrackthathas ledusthroughchaostohell.

Thelastgreatexpressionofthis movementwastheOxfordConference of1937onChurch,StateandCommunity,whichreviewedtheentireproblem initsmanyaspects.

Itwouldbetedioustoquotefromthe findingsoftheseconferences.Theyall carryforwardinrelationtomodern needsthetraditionabandonedsoon aftertheReformation,whilemaking roomforwhatexperiencehastaughtus sincethattime.Theystresstheevils ofanacquisitivesociety;theyinsist thatthewholeeconomicactivityof manexistsforanendbeyonditselfthefullnessofhumanpersonalityin fellowship-andmustbejudgedbyits serviceofthis;andtheyurgeadeliberateplanningoflifewithaviewto thepreservationofpersonalfreedomin spiteofthemechanisationofindustry. Theyinsistthatthedueremuneration oflabouristhefirstchargeuponindustry:andtheydemandthatpolitical freedom,hallbefulfilledineconomic freedom.

IntheChurchofEnglandthismovementofthoughthasfoundexpression duringthepresentwar,inaconference heldatMalvernlastJanuary.Of courseitwasnotspeakingforthe Church,andcouldonlyexpressthe mindsofthosepresent.Itrepublishedthetraditionaldoctrine,whileraisingmorepointedlythanhasbeenusual thequestionwhethertheprivateownershipoftheprincipalindustrialresourcesiscompatiblewithsocialwelfare,andindicatingsomespecificproposalsasconstitutingachallengesufficientlyserioustodemandexamination byexperts.

Hence,whenreadingofdifficulties betweenChristiansandtheGovernmentofIraq,itshouldberemembered thatmanyormostofthesetroubles concerntheAssyriantribesmenand theirPatriarchMarShimun,andnot thefarmorenumerousCatholicChristians.Thesedifficultieswerepartly solvedaftertheAssyrianrevoltof 1933bythemigrationoflargenumbers toSyria.
