S.J.K.,

Edgecliff

Q.:DoestheCatholicChurchteachits flockthatitisasintocommitadultery?

R.:Mostdecidedly.Itisavery gravesin,indeed.WhenGodsaid, "Thoushaltnotcommitadultery,"He certainlymeantit.

Q.:ThenhowcanaCatholicspinster attendMasseverySunday,yetcontinuelivinginadulterywithamarriedman?

R.Ishouldimaginethatitwould bewithgreatmentaldiscomfort,adiscomfortrenewedandintensifiedeverytimesheattendedMass.Forthere thecontrastbetweenwhatsheought tobeandwhatsheiswouldbeimpressedup,,iiher,Andshewouldbe presentwiththeacuterealisationthat sheiscutofffromtheSacraments,and thatifshediesinastateofunrepentedmortalsinshewillgotohell. Sheknows,too,thatGodisnotobligedtoletherlivetillshedoesrepent, andthatHecantakeherfromthis lifeatanymoment.Suchthoughts can'tbepleasant,andsolongasshe continuestoattendMassshewillnot beabletoforgetthem.

Butyouarenotsomuchconcerned withhermentalstateaswiththefact thatshebothgoestoMassandcontinuestoliveinastateifsin;and youwonderhowshecandothat.It isbecausetheviolationofoneofthe tencommandmentsdoesnotforbideffortstokeeptheothers.Suchapersonasyoumentionbreaksthesixth commandment(youwouldcallitthe seventh),forbiddingadultery,andtries tokeepthethird(youwouldcallit thefourth),insistingonthedueacknowledgementofGodbypublicworshipeverySunday.AndI'msurethat withme,youwouldnotwantherto giveupthegoodthingshetriesto dobygoingtoMass.Rather,she shouldgiveupthebadthingsheis doing,livingwithanotherwoman's husband,Andsheismorelikelyto dothatifshecontinuesgoingtoMass thanifsheceasesdoingso.

FORGIVENESSEVERPOSSIBLE.

Q.:Ibelievethatsuchapersonis neverforgiven, R.:Youhavenogroundsforthat belief,Howeverbadandnumerousa person'ssinsmaybe,ifthatperson doessincerelyrepent,noChristiancan saythatGodwillrefusetoforgivehis sins.ChristsaidthatHecameto save,notthejustwhoneednotrepentance,butsinnerswhodo.And Godpromisesthatifatrulyrepentant person'ssinswereasscarlet,theyshall bemadewhiteassnow,ThispromiseofGod'smercydoesnotjustify apresumptionthatwouldgoonsinningbecauseofit,butitdoesforbid ustosaythatatypeofsinweparticularlydislikewillneverbeforgiven underanycircumstances.Ifitisnot repented,itwillnotbeforgiven.If

itisrepented,itwillbe.Whetherit willberepentedofbeforedeath,only Godknows.

THELOTOFTHEDAMNED.

Q.:Suchapersonwillbedamnedand destroyedintheresurrection.

R.:Bymentioningtheword"resurrection"yougivetheimpressionthat youprofesstobeaChristian.But whatyousaycancelsthatimpression. AccordingtotheteachingofChrist,if suchapersonweretodiewithoutrepenting,shewouldbedamned'forever inhell,withnohopeofeverbeingforgiven.Shewouldnotbedestroyedin theresurrection,forattheresurrectionthebodiesofthegoodwillbereunitedwiththeirsoulstoshareintheir eternalhappiness,whilstthebodiesof thewickedwillriseonlytoshareinthe eternalmiseryofthedamned.Christ declaresthatHewillsaytothosewho diedinmortalsin,"Departyecursed, intoeverlastingfirepreparedforthe devilandhisangels."

"Iknowofnootherorganisationso fullofpromisefortheremovalofsocietyastheY.C.W.,"wrotetheBishopofLancaster.

"Ideeplyfeeltheneedofthe Y.C.W.,"statedCardinalHinsley.

ItisthereforewiththoroughconfidencethatFatherCorboy,ofMiddlesboroughwrotetotheEnglish"CatholicHerald"lastyear:"Iprophesy thattheprogressoftheY.C.W.Movementwillbephenomenal,andthat,in England,itwillsoonbeaforceequal totheJocismofFranceandBelgium."

Thesewordsofpraise,comingfrom thehighestquarters,mustindeedhave encouragedtheyoungsterswho,despitetheterrificeffectsofthewaron theirMovement,werestillcarryingthe flagoftheY.C.W.forward.

Thesewordsareencouraging,too,to thosepriestsandyoungworkersin Australia,whosecourageandenergy havealreadyestablishedastrongfoundationfortheY.C.W.here,Atthe beginningitwasfrequentlysaidthat theJocistmethodsmightbeallright inFrance,Belgium,andCanada,but theywouldnotworkinEnglishspeakingcountries.Thisbaselessassumptionhasbeenthoroughlydisprovednot onlybythesuccessoftheMovement

Recentcorrespondenceandarticlesin theEnglishpressshowthatthisprogressisnotconfinedtowords.The numberofsectionsinEnglandhas doubledsincetheoutbreakofwar.
