If,therefore,Catholicsholdthereis nosalvationoutsidetheChurch,you canseethatthismaximcanonly shockthosewhounderstanditwronglyandwhoareignorantofwhatis commonlytaughtconcerningthe"Soul oftheChurch.'Allitmeanstous isthatthereisnosalvationoutside theTruth,whichexplicitlyorimplicitly-isfreelyofferedtoall.Webelievethatthereisnosalvationoutside theTruth,andthefactthatallmen donotexplicitlyknowtheTruth,the factofreligiousdivision,farfrombeing agoodinitself,isamarkofthedistressofourcondition.

THEabsurdattIIackmadebyProfessorAnderson,oftheSydney University,ontheteachingofreligion inschools,hasmetwithapleasingcounter-blastfromtwoprofessorsofthe UniversityofW.A.Speakingatthe AnglicanTeachers'Conference,theprofessorsexpressedtheviewthatreligiouseducationwasanecessarypartof children'seducationinschools.In discussingChristianeducation,ProfessorA.C.Foxsaidthatthehistoryand principlesofChristianitywerenot purelyprivatematters.Theyshould betaughtwithopportunityforcriticism,becauseoftheirpublicnatureand theirinfluenceonco-operativelivng. Thesuccessfulteachermustbetheembodimentoftheseprinciples.Theideal wasaschoolwhichwasitselfaChristiancommunity.Christianitymustbe taughtasbeingnaturaltomanand hispresentneedsandknowledge.ProfessorCameronsaidthatreligionmust claimaplaceintheschool.Themost helpfulformofreligiousteachingfor olderchildrenwouldbeacourseon comparativereligion.Christianitycould alwaysstanduptoanyreasonedcriticismorscrutiny.Are-statementof Christianbeliefaccordingtomodern needswasrequiredtoclarifycertain elementsinChristianteaching.

WhilewewelcometheseendorsementsofCatholicclaims,therearea fewpointswhichneedclarification. WhenProfessorFoxsaidthat"Christianitymustbetaughtasbeingnaturaltomanandhispresentneedsand knowledge,"thereisdangerofmisapprehension.Naturallyinthebriefpress reportanadequateoutlineofanymodificationstheProfessormayhavemade "ofhispublishedstatementwouldnot begiven.ButitisobviousthatChristianity,beingasupernaturalreligion, isnot"natural"toman.Itmakesdemandswhichhisunaidedhumannature ofitselfisquiteunabletomeet.Hence thenecessityofDivineGracetosupply thedeficiencesofnaturebroughtabout byOriginalandactualsin.Again, Christianitymayanddoesilluminate allbranchesofknowledge,butitsreceptionorpreservationdoesnotdependonknowledge,butontheDivine infusionofFaithinthefirstinstances, andontheincreaseofGracethrough prayerandtheSacramentalsystemin thesecond.

Itisunique.Butperhapsitstrue naturewouldbeshowntogreateradvantagebyastudyofitshistorythan byanycomparisonwithanythingelse. Thereisnoparityinanyparallel, thereisnocommondenominator.

Finally,ProfessorCameron'sadvocacyofa"restatementofChristianbeliefaccordingtomodernneeds,"must beproperlyunderstood.SinceChristianitydoesnotdependuponknowledgeforitstruth,itsauthorityand itssanctions,sononewavenueof thoughtcanchallengeitsteachings. Therecanneverbeaquestionofchange a

Thestrangestcontributiontothe Conferencereportedinthepresswas madebyanAnglicanclergyman.The Rev.Dr.H.R.Trenamanisreported assayingthat"thesecondaryschool boyshouldbegivenachanceofconsciouslyacceptingorrejectingChristianityasaphilosophyoflife."TheobviousretorttothisisthatGodgotin firstwhenHegaveevensecondary schoolboysthegiftoffree-will.It seemstomethatthereisnooccasion togiveaboy"achance."Healready hasitinhisnature,andnopowerin heavenorearthcanpreventhisrejectingChristianityifhesodesires.

CSTRALIA'Schiefperil,'apart fromtheminionsoftheSonof Heaven,isthatwemayfinishupwith theverysystemwesetouttodestroy. "ForFreedom,"the1942SocialJustice Statement,emphasisedtheviewthat totalitarianismisnottobefoundonly inGermany,RussiaandItaly."PatternforPeace"pointedoutthatit cancomeinanycountrywhenthe State,insteadofensuringthatthefamily,localandregionalauthoritiesand industries,havetheeconomicmeans, thesocialopportunityandthelegal powertocarefortheirownmembers, substitutesitselfforthem,andattemptstofulfiltheirfunctions.I havesaidthatthisisAustralia'schief peril,andbythatImeantitisatrend towhichthewholeofAustraliansocial lifehasleanedprogressivelyduringthe pasttwogenerations.Whetherthis beexplainedbyourservileorigins,or whetheritisadecadentperiodfollowingtheHomericlaboursofthepioneers,Icanotsay.Thefactremains.

Anarticle,publishedoriginallyin theOrthodoxmagazine,"Pravo-SlavnayaRouss,"ofSlovakia,andsigned P.Perof,hasattractedconsiderable attentionbecauseofsuggestionsmade regardingthefutureevangelisationof Russia.

Theauthor,whosayshisdeductions arebasedonpersonalcontactswith SovietcitizensandRussianprisoners ofwarinGermany,believesthatBolshevismhasneversucceededineffacingtheRussiannationalsentiment whichisstronglystampedwithorthodoxconceptionsoftheworld;andthat thenewRussiawillbebuiltonlyin thespiritoforthodoxy-anindispensablepresuppositionofcivilisationand theRussianState.

Astothecurrentattitudeofthe Russianpeopletowardsreligion,M. Perofdividesthepopulationintothree principalgroupsofquitedifferentnumericalimportance.Inthefirstgroup,

thosewhohavenotlosttheFaithof thefathers,heputsthegreatmassof thepeople,particularlythepeasants. Anti-religiouspropaganda,hecontends, hasneversucceededinpenetrating thedepthsoftheRussiannational soul.

"Theonlythingthathasbeenshaken,"hewrites,"isanaiveandprimitivefaithinreligiouspractices,andthe conventionalexpressionofreligious sentimentwhich,toooften,isconfused withtruepiety.

"ThereligiousfoundationofRussia couldnotbedestroyedbecause-iffor nootherreason-itisolderthanorthodoxyitself.Beliefinopposingforces ofgoodandevilandthefinalvictory ofgoodoverevil;beliefinpunishmentforallfaultsonearthitselfand therecognitionofaregulatingpower beyondhumanpassions-thesehave notchanged.Theyformedtheoriginalsoilonwhichfellthemustardseedoforthodoxy."
