"TheCurtainFalls,"MountLavrloy:

Q.:"Whatistheoriginandmeaning oftheword'Mass'?"

A.:Theword"Mass"comesfromthe Latin"missa,"whichinthefourthcenturywasatransitionalformofthe classicalLatinword"missio,'meaning dismissal.IntheearlyChurchthere weretwodistinctpartsoftheMass: thefirstpartwasforeveryone,includingcatechumensorthoseunderinstructionbutnotyetbaptised;whilst atthesecondpartonlythosewho werebaptisedChristianswereallowed toremainandassistatthesacrifice offeredbythePriests.Attheendof thefirstparttookplacethedismissal or"missa"ofthecatechumensorthose whowerenotyetbaptisedandthereforenotyetcountedamongthefaithful;andattheendofthesecondpart wasthedismissalor"missa"ofthe faithfulwhohadremainedonforthe offeringofthesacrifice.Andfrom theuseoftheword"missa"onthese twooccasionsthewholeceremony graduallytookitsname.Originally thiscentralactofCatholicworship wasknownastheFractioPanisorthe BreakingofBread,andbyothernames, butformanycenturiesnowithasbeen referredtosimplyas"TheMass."

A.:No,notprecisely;butbyvari,,uspiecesofevidencebothinthetext itselfandfromcontemporarywitnesses otherthantheauthors,itispossible togivethefollowingapproximate dates:Matthew,MarkandLukewere writtenbefore70A.D.,andJohnabout 96A.D.SometraditionssaythatMat. thewwrotehisgospelfirstinAramaic asearlyas40A.D.,+-etraditionaldata ofthedispersaloftheApostles throughouttheworld.Asregardsevidence,withoutgoingintotoomuchdetail,therearevariousmeansofattestingthesedates,e.g.,Matthew,Mark andLukemusthavewrittenbefore thedestructionofJerusalembyTitus intheyear70A.D.,becausetheyall showaveryexactknowledgeofthe delicateandcomplicatedreligiousand politicalsituationswhichexistedprior tothatevent.TheyrecordveryexplicitlytheprophecyofOurLordconcerningthedestructionofJerusalem, buttheymakenomentionofthefulfilmentofthisprophecy-whichwould haveconstitutedaverygoodpieceof persuasiveevidence,hardlylikelyto havebeenomitted.Thenthereare documentswrittenasearlyas75A.D. whichquotetheSynopticGospels.St. John'sGospelwaswrittenobviously withtheintentionofcompletingthe othergospelsalreadyinexistence,and ofsupplyingmanyincidentswhich theyhadnotrecorded.Theapproximatedateof96A.D.isagreedupon bymostseriousscholars,Catholicand non-Catholicalike.

Sundayweekisthe(layappointedfortheannualreadingof thejointPastoraloftheWestralianHierarchyonmixedmar- riages.AmongthedecreesoftheFourthPlenaryCouncilof AustraliaandNewZealand,thatrelatingtothematterofmixed marriagewasofparticularimportance.TheBishopsnotedwith regretthat,despitetheannualinstructionsgiveninallchurches."mixedmarriagesareannuallyincreasingwithlamentableresults." AftersettingouttheteachingoftheChurchonthesupernatural aspectofmarriage,andtheCatholicideal,thePastoralproceeds toexaminethehazardsofmixedmarriages,particularlyasthey endangerthefaithofthechildren.Thedivergenceofoutlookbe- tweenthepartiesonthefundamentalissueofreligionisstressed asasourceofmaritalunhappiness."Intheverymomentof union,"statetheBishops,"theystandatanunspeakabledistance fromeachotherinallthatconcernsthesouls-itsfaith,itshope, andaspirations."

Thepromulgationofthe"NeTemere"decreeof1908provoked averitablesectarianstorm.PeoplesaidthattheChurchwas completelyunreasonableandhigh-handed.Yet,after30years, theHierarchy,sofarfromrelaxingtheconditionsofmixedmar- riage,wasmoved,evenattheriskofgreaterinitialdefection,to makethemyetmorestringent.Allofwhichdemonstratesbe- yondfurtherdisputehowtheChurchdisapprovesofmixedmar- riagesandhowSheisinducedtotoleratethematallonlyfrom fearofgreaterevilsandscandalsbeingprecipitated.ThealmostcertainspiritualshipwreckoftheCatholicpartyorofthechildren, .orofboth,isprovidedagainstbythedifficulty,amountingtoim- possibility,ofobtainingadispensationinthecasewherethe womanisanon-Catholic.Thisisveryunderstandable.Inmost casesitisthemotheralonewhoistheeducatorofthechildren.
