J.Butler,Cottesloe:

Q.:"IsthereanyfundamentaldifferencebetweenCommunismandChristianity,seeingthatthebasisofboth isthebrotherhoodofman?"

A.:Aslongagoas1846Communism wascondemnedbythereigningPope, PiusIX,asan"infamousdoctrine whichisabsolutelycontrarytothe naturallawitself,andifonceadopted wouldutterlydestroytherights,propertyandpossessionsofallmen,and evensocietyitself."

SuccessivePopeshaveissuedeven moretrenchantcondemnationsof Communism,referringtoitasa"SatanicScourge,"aimingnotatcollaborationwith,butattheannihilation ofChristianity.Ifitwerenotfor thefundamentaldifferencebetween CommunismandChristianity,the ChurchwouldnotforbidCatholics"to collaboratewithitinanyundertakingwhatsoever;"Shewouldnotrefuse toCommuniststheSacramentsandthe rightofChristianburial.Sofarfrom beingatonewithChristianity,Communismisthegreatestheresy,the arch-heresy,ofalltime.LastweekI citedtheteachingsofMarx,Leninand Stalinonreligion-andthereforeon Christianity.Thewholeworldknows thattheyhavepledgedthemselvesand theirdisciplestorootingtheideaof Christianityoutofthemindsofthe people.Theyhavecalleditthe "opiumofthemasses"-thecreation ofvestedintereststolulltheproletariatintoacceptinginjustice;theylook onthepriestasakindoftse-tse(tetsee!fly,goingaboutinoculatingthe workingclasswithsleepingsickness.

Yousaythebrotherhoodofmanis thebasisofCommunism.Isaythat brotherhoodismeaninglessunless thereisacommonfather,andcenturiesbeforeCommunismwaseverconceived,Christtaughtmankindthatour commonFatherwasGodHimselfWhomCommunistsridiculeandoutrage.Ifthebrotherhoodofman werethebasisofCommunism,howdo theyjustifycivilwar,theclasswar, thesabotagingofanation'swar2i-fort whenitisfightingforsurv:valwith itsbacktothewall:howdotheyjustifytheRedrevolutionandthestreets runningwithbloodthattheyarequite openlytalkingaboutandworkingfor to-day:iftheybelieveinthebrotherhoodofmanandthefreedomofthe individual,whydotheywishtoimpose onthisdemocraticnation,throughthe violenceandbloodshedofcivilwar,a totalitarianregime,whichwilldeprive ourpeople,asithasintheAxiscountriesagainstwhomweareatwar,of freedomofworship,freedomof thoughtandspeech,freedomoflabour,freedomofthefamilyandfreedom oftheindividualhimself.

TherecouldbenothingmorediametricallyopposedtoChristianitythan Communism.

A.:Itissomuchofamoney-makingschemethatthewholeCatholic communityhastomakeavoluntary subscriptioneveryweektowardslighteningthecrushingburdenofdebt underwhichourCatholicschoolsare labouring.AtMasseverySundayCatholicscontribute,andImustsayreallygenerously,toacollectionforthis purpose,andfrommyrepliesinsessionssubsequenttotheoneyoumention,youwillhavegatheredthatthe chargeofhighfeesatCatholicschools isjustamyth.Thefeesassuchare nohigherthanthosechargedatother Primary,High,orSecondaryschools, moreoftenthannottheyarelower: thehighstandardofeducationisevidencedbyexaminationresults;no childisrefusedagoodeducation.merelybecausetheparentscannotafford topay;andifyouthinkthatwe shouldchargepracticallynothingfor theeducationofsome13,000children atpresentattendingCatholicschools inthisdiocesealone,thenIwouldremindyouthatwehavetobuild,equip, andmaintainallourownschools,and thatthebuildingsandfurnituremust hepaidfor,themaintenancecovered, andthePriests,BrothersandNuns suppliedwiththeirfrugalmeals,a habittowearandthethreadbare comfortofroomorcell.Thefactthat theyoffertheirlivestothisworkof Catholiceducation,andthattheygive theirtirelesslaboursfree,alonemakes itpossibleforourschoolstocarryon atall.Asitis,inmanycasesthe parentshavetomakeafurthercontribution,asIsaid,eachweekinadditiontotheschoolfees.

Ofcourse,wehaveCatholicSecondarySchoolsaswellasPrimarySchools, andnooneresentsthehighercharge attheSecondarySchool-thecapital outlayandmaintenanceisgreater,the standardofeducationhigher:hutV011 mustn'tforget,ontheotherhand,that therearethousandsofyoungWest AustraliansbeingeducatedatCatholic schoolsforsixpenceaweekandoften less.

FairPlay,Subiaco:

Q.:"YoumentionedoneSundaynight thattheProtestants,forsomereasonsoftheirown,hadomittedseven chaptersoftheBiblefromtheir teachings.Canyoutellmewhat thesesevenchaptersare,andfrom whencetheycame?"

A.:Ididnotsaythatsevenchaptereshadbeenleftout,butseven books:Tobias(Tobit),Judith,Wisdom,Ecclesiasticus,Baruch,I.andII. Machabees.Besidesthesebooksthere werealsocertainchaptersofother booksomitted,as,forexample,thelast sixteenchaptersofEsther.Youask whencetheycame?Well,theseportionsofHolyScripture,forthemost part,werewrittenafterthereturn oftheJewsfromtheBabyloniancaptivity,anddrawnupbyEsdras (Ezra)onthatoccasion.ThePalestinianJewsdidnotgivethesebooks thesamehonourastheolderbooks. OntheotherhandtheJewsofAlexandria(whohadtranslatedtheScripturesintoGreek)werelessrigidtraditionaliststhantheirbrethreninPalestine,andtheyincludedandtranslatedthesehookswiththerest.Now theProtestantBiblefollowsthePalestiniantradition,whilsttheCatholic

ChurchofbothEastandWesthasalwaysusedthemorecompletecollection.

Q.:'Also,isitnotafactthatCatholicservicesarenotconducted,as oursare,fromtheBible,butfroma speciallycullededitionmadeupinto aCatholicPrayer-Book?"

A.:Thetwoofficialprayer-booksof theCatholicChurcharetheMissalor Mass-book,andtheRomanBreviary, containingtheofficialprayersrecited eachdaybythePriestsonbehalfof thewholeChurch.Bothofthesebooks containnumerousextractsfromthe OldandNewTestaments.IntheAnglicanChurchatleast,bothofthese bookshavebeenreducedtoone-the BookofCommonPrayer-inwhichthe totalvolumeofscripturalreadings wouldbeconsiderablylessthaninthe Catholicbooks.Soitisnotcorrectto saythatCatholicservicesarenotconductedfromtheBible.

Q.:"Icanfindnomentioninthe Bibleofanyspecifiedreligionmyself,exceptthatoftheJews."

A.:Areligionmaybedefinedasa systemofteachingsrelatingtoman's serviceofGodandofhisneighbour. ChristveryclearlyexplainedthatHe wassupercedingtheJewishreligion withHisown:thatHewasgivingnew commandmentsandnewcounsels,and HesentHisApostlestoteachallnationswhatsoeverHehadcommanded them.Thiswasthereligionof ChristorChristianity.Therecan onlybeonetruereligion,thatistaken forgrantedintheBible,anditisnot givenanametodistinguishitfrom anyothersectsorcreedsthatmight ariseinthecourseoftime.

WithonevoicetheChurchesofEuropehavecondemnedtheNazipolicy offorcedlabour,havecondemnedit openlyinunmeasuredterms.The VaticaninabroadcasttoFrancestated:"TheChurchwillneverrecognise aregimewhichisbasedonforced labour,ontheuprootingofpopulation, onexpropriation,onthedispersalof families.ThecurseofGodwillbring aboutthefallofthesecivilisationsand violentorderswhichdenycorporal libertiesandneglectthem."TheBelgianBishopsissuedaPastoralLetter whichwasreadfromthepulpitof everyBelgianChurchonMarch21, 1943:"Therequisitioningofhuman beingsisutterlyinexcusable;itisa violationofnaturalrights,ofinternationallawandofChristianethics.It thrustsasideallconsiderations;it takesnoheedoftheessentialdignity andlibertyofmankind;norofthe supremeinterestsofsocietywhichwill inevitablysuffertheconsequencesof theangerandsullenhatredthesemeasureshavesownintheoppressedhearts ofmanythousandsofpeople."

InHollandCatholicandProtestant churcheshavesentacombinedprotest addressedtotheNaziSeyssInquart, drawingattentionto"theincreased violationofjusticeintheenforceddeportationoftheDutchforGermany."

TheNazishavealwaysrealisedthe menaceoftheChurchesandhaveattemptedtostopthemouthsofboth ProtestantsandCatholicsbyeverypossiblemeans.

CatholicActionLeaderWarns AgainstRedStrengthin IndustrialMovement

"Communistsdidnotlooktoelectionstogainpower.Theyregarded parliamentanddemocracyasafarce, andusedelectionssimplyasameans ofpropaganda."

ThiswasemphasisedbyMr.B.A. Santamaria,B.A.,LL.B.,speakingto over400membersoftheHolyName Society,MiddlePark,attheannual Communionbreakfastrecently.

ManyCatholicsseemedunawareof theterriblehostilityagainstthe Church,butitexistedandwasever pressingforward.AustralianCatholicswereinclinedtobeeasygoing, andtotakethingsforgranted,particularlyhappeningsintherestofthe world,Theinclinationnottothink seriouslylessenedtheapprehensionsof theCatholicpeople.Hereorelsewheretheywerenotgettingafair deal.ThishadlongpassedinEurope,andinAustraliatheChurchwas facedwithgravedanger.Thecrisis wasfargreaterthanthatoftheReformation.Lutherwasnothingto theforcestheywerefacingto-day.It wasnotacrisisbetweenCatholicism andProtestantism,butaviolentconflictbetweenreligionandhate.Ca-
