R.:Iwilldealwiththesectionsthat haveabearingonyourenquiries, Q.:Theapplicantsforexemptionfrom anydutiesconnectedwiththewar were"WitnessesofJehovah,"andI wouldlikeyoutogivetherightinterpretationoftheScripturesthey quoted.

R.:Notoneofthepassagesthey quotedfromScripturejustifiedtheir attitude.Infact,theirattitudewas completelyopposedtoSacredScripture.Twoofthemdeclaredthatthey owednoallegiancewhatevertothe King,despitethefactthattheNew Testamentinsistsagainandagainon thedutyofChristianstohonourthe Kingandfulfilalltheircivicduties fortheloveofGodinthecountryto whichtheybelong.

AMISUSEDTEXT.

Q.:AllquotedII.,Cor.X.,3,4,which says,"Thoughwewalkintheflesh, wedonotwaraccordingtothe flesh.Fortheweaponsofourwarfarearenotcarnal,butmightyto God."

R.:InthosewordsSt.Paulis speakingofhisownauthorityinthe Church.SomeoftheCorinthians hadsaidthathehadnophysical powertoenforcehisdirections,St.

SATANANDFREEWELL.

Q.:IunderstandthatSatanisthe "fatherofallevil."Thedevil,accordingtodivinerevelation,was Lucifer,theLight-bearer,oftheorder ofthosespiritualbeingsweknowas angelscreatedbyGod.Wearetold inScripturethatpridewasthecause ofthefallofLucifer,andoutofthis pridecameevilAndthereisno doubtthatevildoesexist.

R.:Allthatistrue.

Q.:Now,thisismyproblem.When manwascreated,hewasendowed withanattributenotvouchsafedto anyotherbeing,noteventothe angels,namely,"freewill," R.:Thegiftoffreewillwasgranted bothtoangelsandtomen.Freedom ofwillnecessarilyaccompaniesthegift ofintelligence;andtheangelsareintelligentspiritualbeings.

Q.:Icanunderstandmansuccumbing totemptation,disobeyingGod,and becomingevil,astatewhichisan

abominationinthesightofGod,and whichwouldmakeitimpossiblefor mantoattainhishighcalling,which willbeabovetheangelsaccordingto God'spurpose.Hence,thenecessity oftheRedemption.AmIright?

R.:Inallthatyousaythereyouare right.

Q.:ButLucifer,inhisdivinelycreatedofficeofArchangel,andwithout theendowmentoffreewill,became evilthroughpride.

R.:YouwronglysupposethatLuciferwaswithouttheendowmentoffree will.

LUCIFER'STEMPTATION.

Q.:Theveryterm"freewill"implies theexistenceoftemptationtodisobey.

R.:Thatisnotquitetrue.Itimplies,increatedintelligentbeings,the possibilityofnotobeying,atleast whilsttheyarestillinastateofprobation.However,themeritoriouschoice toserveGoddoesimplyanencounter withandthedeliberaterejectionof motivesorinducementsnottoobey, Suchtemptationscouldariseeither fromoutsideoneself,orfromwithin oneself.Weknowthatthefirsttemptationencounteredbyourfirstparents wasfromoutsidethemselves,SatansuggestingtheirrebellionagainstGod. Rut,beforehisownfall,SatanorLuciferwasnottemptedbyanother.Aware, livhisintelligence,bothofhisown magnificentendowments,andofhisdependenceuponGod,hecouldfreely choosetoconcentratehisattentionon himself,ignorehisdependenceonGod, andeventuallydeclarehisindependenceofGod.Thishechosetodo,and thus,asOurLordsaid,"Hestoodnot inthetruth."

GODNOTRESPONSIBLE.

Q.:Followingthistoalogicalconclusion,God,whenHecreatedafree willagent,man,musthaveprovided, orcreated,thetemptation,orevil. ButthisconclusionofmineIknow tobewrong,evenblasphemous.

R.:Yourrightlyseeyourconclusiontobeerroneous.AsIsaidearlier, Godisnottheauthorofevil.He endowedangelsandmenwithfreewill, forbiddinganyevilchoice,achoicethey werequiteabletoavoid,Hepermittedourfirstparentstobetempted. Buttemptationisnotevilinitself.If resisted,itcanbetheoccasionofavery greatgood.Andourfirstparentsneed nothaveyieldedtothetemptation. Afterall,virtueisdevelopedonlywhen wearecalledupontoexerciseit.And thereisnotmuchvirtueinbeinggood

whentheirisnotemptationorinducementtobehavebadly.Wepractisepatience,notwhenthingsaregoing right,butpreciselywhenthingsare goingwrongandweresistthetempts tiontoloseourtempers.Ifourfirst parentsyieldedtothetemptationproposedbySatan,itwastheirowndeliberatechoice.Theywerecompelled neitherbyGodnorbythedeviltodo so.

ANGELSHAVEFREEWILL.

Q.:AmIwronginpresupposingthat angelsdonothavefreewill?

R.:Yes.

Q.:Ifso,pleaseexplain,and,ifpossible, provemyerrorfromScripture.

R.:ItisevidentfromScripturethat youaremistakenintheideathatangels havenotfreewill.PsalmVIII,,6, saysofman,"Thouhastmadehima littlelowerthantheangels."Now, man'stwogreatestgiftsareintelligence andfreewill.Angels,therefore,by naturehigherupinthescaleofperfection,mustpossessintelligenceand freewill.InII.PeterII,,4.weread, "Godsparednottheangelswhosinned,butcastthemdowntohell."The EpistleofJude,verse6,says,"Theangelswhichkeptnottheirfirstestate butlefttheirownhabitation,Hebath reservedineverlastingchainsunder darknessuntothejudgmentofthegreat day."AndOurLordHimselfdeclares thatthefinalsentenceuponwicked menwillbe,"Departfromme,ye cursed,intoeverlastingfire,prepared forthedevilandhisangels."Matt. XXV.,41. NowGodisjust.Such ajudgmentandpunishmentoftherebelliousangelswouldbeimpossible weretheynotresponsiblefortheir ownevilbehaviour.Butresponsibilityitselfwouldbeimpossibleunless theyhadfreewill. * * * *

THERIGHTCONCLUSION.

Q.:Imustbewrong,becauseI've reachedanimpossibleconclusion, R.:Iamgladyouseethatforvourself.Itiscertainthattheangelsare endowedwithbothintelligenceandfree will.Theonlyreasonyougivefor yourideathatangelswerenotendowedwithfreewillseemstobethe factthattherewerenootherevil beingstotemptthem.ButthatI haveexplainedbypointingoutthat temptationneednotnecessarilyarise fromwithinoneself.AndLuciferfound histemptationinthecontemplationof hisownperfectionseventothepoint ofregardinghimselfasself-sufficient andaboveanyacknowledgmentofhis dependenceuponGod.

Simplified"Worship"

T.M.F.,Maroubra:

Q.:Icontendthatworshipshouldbe thesimplestofallthings.

R.:Inrealityyouwhittleitaway tosuchadegreethatyouabolishaltogetheranythingdeservingthename ofworship.Allyouofferisahuman philosophyvaguelytintedwithreligiousnotionsdrawnfromthelingering Christianatmosphereoftheenvironmentinwhichyouhavelived.

Q.:Iusetheword"simple"incontradistinctiontotheword"complex," whichcharacterisestheformulasinsisteduponbytheCatholicChurch.

R,:Itgoesdeeperthanthat,You rejectthetruthsthoseformulasexpress, foryoudonotbelieveinanybodyof doctrinesrevealedbyGodthrough Christ.Beautifulformulariesandserviceswillnaturallyhavelittleappeal forthemanwhorefusestobelievein theverytruthstheyembodyandexpress.Anduntilyoubecomeconvincedofthetruthsthemselves,discussion oftheformsbywhichtheyareexpressedisawasteoftime.

ANANALOGYTHATFAILS.

R.:Thatanalogywon'tpassmuster. Forahousewouldstillbeahouseon whateverfoundationitwasbuilt;but worshipwouldnotbeworship,inthe religioussenseoftheword,unlessit wereoffereddirectlytoGod.Secondthereisnoobligationtoacceptthe specificationsofaparticulararchitect forthebuildingofahouse;butthere isanobligationtoobeyGodinany prescriptionsHechoosestomakeconcerningman'sconduct,religiousor otherwise.Thirdly,whilstparticular internaldraperiesandexternalfishpondsarenotessentialtoahousethat amanmaydwellinit,areligionto bepractisedbymanmustbeadapted tohiscompleteandtwofoldnatureas materialandspiritual.Thatisinaccordancewiththenaturallaw(of whichyouaresofondtgoverningthe typeofexistencethatishis.Finally, religionisnotaquestionofaccommodatingone's"in-laws"andone'sneighboursaswellasoneselfinahouse builtforhumanuseandbenefit,Itis aquestionofrenderingtoGodtheacknowledgmentduetoHim,aduty

CharlestheSecond,thoughaCatholicatheart,forreasonsofState hadtobeanominalProtestantking.
