INVOCATIONOFSAINTS.

Q.:WhatproofhastheRomanCatholicChurchthattheInvocationof SaintsisaccordingtotheScriptures?

R.:Theprinciplesandteachingsof theScripturethemselves.IntheOld TestamentwefindthefriendsofJob sayingtohim,"Callnowiftherewill beanythatwillanswerthee,andturn tosomeofthesaints."(Job.V.,1). LongafterthedeathofJeremiah, Oniassaidofhim,"Thisishethat prayethmuchforthepeopleandfor alltheholycity;Jeremiah,theprophet ofGod."(II.Mach.XV,14).InRev.

PURGATORY. Q.:IsthereanyproofintheBible thatthereissuchaplaceasPurgatory?

R.:Yes,Theword''Purgatory"is notmentioned,butwhatthatwordis usedtodescribeisverydefinitely mentioned;thatis,thatthereisanintermediatestatewhichisneither heavennorhell,whereimperfectsouls arepurifiedafterdeath.Imightmentionthat,duringthelastwar,AnglicanauthoritiesinEnglandissuedforms ofprayerforthedepartedsoulsof thosekilledinaction.That,initself,sanctionsthedoctrineofPurgatory,foritsupposessoulsinastate wherethehelpofourprayersisneeded.Asoulinheavendoesnotneed ourprayers,andit'snouseprayingfor asoulinhell.Moreover,theDoctrinal ReportIhavebeenquotingdeclares thattheChurchofEnglanddeliberately leavesroom,bothfortheviewof thosewhodon'tbelieveinPurgatory, andfortheviewofthosewhodo.The commissiononAnglicandoctrinetells youthat,asanAnglican,youarenot obligedtodenyPurgatory.Itwould havebeenbetterifitcouldhavetold youwhatyouareobligedtobelieve aboutit.Thenyouwouldhavebeen inapositiontodiscusswhetherthe versiontheAnglicanChurchgivesto theworldon.Christiandoctrineis truerthanothers.Asitis,theAnglicanChurchequallysanctionsboththe denialofPurgatoryandtheassertion thatthereisaPurgatory.

ENFORCINGTHEFAITH!

Q.:Inarecentbroadcast,youstated thattheRomanCatholicChurch doesnotuseforcefulmeanstoimposeitsbeliefonpeople.How,then, canyouexplaintheInquisition?

R.:Verysimply.TheInquisition wasnotestablishedinordertoimpose theCatholicfaithonanybody.The verynamesuggestsitspurpose.Itwas concernedwiththosewhoalreadyprofessedtheCatholicfaith:and,from theecclesiasticalviewpoint,inquired intothesincerityoftheirdispositions.
