Itmusthavebeenobviousbynow tothosewhohavelistenedregularlyto thesessionthatattimesthequestions havebeenalittleridiculous,attimes almostunbelievablymisinformed,and againattimes,thoughrarelyenough, evenabusiveandscurrilous.Ofcourse, inasessionlikethis,oneisboundto gatherinalotofchaffwiththewheat, sotospeak,andhavingpromisedto tryandregardallquestionsasgenuine andsinceie,Ihaveleftmyselfopen toapertainamountofthiskindof thing.However,Iknowthatitisby nomeansrepresentativeofthegeneral opinionofCatholicsandtheirChurch heldbyothersectionsofthecommunity.Isupposeeverydenomination numbersitsbigotedones-thereare bigotedCatholicsaswellasbigoted Protestants.Butitisencouragingto receiveletterslikethisonefrom "Fairplay,"Subiaco,whowrites:"I thinkitisuptosomeofustoapologiseforafewoftheremarksmadeby someinquirerstoyoursessionasmentionedbyyouovertheair).Insultis neveranyargumenttomymind,and I'vebeenshockedbysomeoftheinsults offeredyou;Ithinkyouaretobecommendedforyourpatienceinyourreplies.Ionlyhopethatinthecase ofProtestantquestionersyouwillnot judgethemanybythefew.Ialso wishtothankyouforthecourtesyof yourreplytomyownquestions."And thelettergoesonfurtherinthatappreciativestrain.ThenthereisanotherfromMr.JamesMcGregor,Swanbourne,whoconcludesabeautifully wordedletterbyaskingmetoreadit overtheair.Well,Iwould,butitis alittlelongandonlyreiteratesthe sentimentsexpressedby"Fairplay." Mr.McGregoralsodefendsCatholic priests,nuns,andbrothers,Catholic schoolsandhospitals;andjustifiesthe magnificentChurchesthatCatholics havebuiltthroughoutthecountry

Iwouldliketothank,too,Mrs.Pearson,ofAlbany-road.Maddington,who hasalsowrittendeploringthetoneand contentsofsomeofthelettersIreceive.AlltheselistenersarenonCatholics,whohavebeenanxiousto rectifyanyfalseimpressionthatmight becreatedthroughsomeoftheless courteousletterstowhichtheyall refer.AndformypartIamhappy tohavebeengiventheopportunityof reassuringthemthatneitherInormy fellowCatholicsthinkforonemoment thatsuchignorantandabusivelettersexpressthesentimentsofnonCatholicsgenerally

Now,asI'veoftenstatedbefore,the purposeofthissessionistoexplain tothosewhoseekanofficialanswerto theirqueries,thedoctrinesandpracticesoftheChurchAttimesthesubjectstoucheduponhavecausedacertainamountofcomment,butIam moreorlessatthemercyofmycorrespondents,andhavetriedtohandle theirsallieswithfrankness,dignityand charity.Ithinkthatthosequalities shouldalwayscharacterisetheChurch's presentationofHerdoctrine.

But,Ican'thelpthinkingthatmany Catholicsamongstmylistenersmust havebeenwonderingforsometime pastwhenamIgoing-tostartexplainingsomethingaboutthedoctrinesthat dealwiththeLIFEoftheChurch, HerSacraments,HerSacrifice,theLiturgy,ratherthanHerframework,constitutionandlawsrertainlythisaspectofCatholiclifeisfarmoreinterestingthandiscussionsadnauseumon theregulationsregardingmarriageOr theSpanishCivilWarorthePrimacy ofPeter,whichhaveallbeendoneto death.Buthowcanoneexpectthose whoknowlittleornothingaboutthe Churchtoaskquestionsconcerning thisaspectofCatholicism?Iflistenerswouldpreferthatthesessionbroke newground,thenwhyinthenameof goodnessdon'ttheywriteinandask meafewquestionsregardingthose doctrineswhichuptodateI'venot beengivenanopportunitytoexplain. UnfortunatelyIStillhavedozensof questionstoanswer,butthesoonerI

getqueriesfromanyofmylisteners onthisothermoreimportantsideof theCatholicChurchthesoonerIshall beabletotreatofitinmyanswers.

So,it'suptoyounow,andwith thesefewwordswe'llstartonthelettersforthis evening.

ASeekerAfterTruth,Fremantle: Q.:YouclaimthattheRomanCatholicChurchisinfallible,"thesameyes, terday,to-dayandforever."Why didtheChurchwaittilltheyear1870 beforedefinitelyclaiminginfallibility?

A.:Shedidn't.Thedoctrineofin, fallibilitywasheldtobeanessential partofCatholicteachingrightfrom sheveudaysoftheApostlesthemselves.TheearlyFathersinsistonit, andwiththemtheChurchhasALWAYSclaimedthatthisprerogative ofinfallibilityinmattersoffaithand moralswasconferredbyChristupon St.Peteranduponhissuccessors,the BishopsofRome.TheVaticanCouncilin1870didnotinventanewdoctrine,didnotmakeanewclaim,but merelysaiddefinitely:"Thisisthe Christiandoctrinecont..inedatleast implicitlyintherevelationoriginally giventomankindbyChrist."The ChurchdoesnotsayinHerdefinitions, "Inowrevealthisdoctrine,"but"I definitelydeclarethistobethedoctrinerevealedbyChrist."Ifshe nevertaughtwithsuchauthoritymen wouldsay."Whatisthegoodofthe Church?"Ifshedoesteachwithauthoritytheysay,"Sheisinventingnew doctrines.''Soyhereareyou?

Q.:Wassuchaclaimordeclaration notanacknowledgnentthatthe Churchhadchanged?

A.:Well,nowthatI'veexplained justwhatCatholicsmeanwhenthey speakoftheinfallibilityof the Church,perhapsyouwilladmitthat sofarfrombeinganacknowledgement thattheChurchhaschanged,aninfalliblepronouncementisonlyanother confirmationandguaranteeofthe changelessnessofherteaching.The declarationofinfallibilityonlyformulatedexplicitlyadoctrinethathadalwaysbeenbelievedimplicitlybyCatholicsofallages.TherewasnoquestionoftheChurchchanging,there neveris,herdoctrinesare,asIsaid, thesameyesterday,to-dayandforever. Whilstonthesubjectofinfallibility, Iwouldlike,atthispoint,toanswera queryfromJ.L.Thomas,Perth:Does nottheinfallibilityofthePopedeny himfree-will,supposinghewantedto purposelymisleadthefaithfulofthe CatholicChurchinanimportantmatter?

A.:Thegiftofinfallibilityhasno bearingatallonthePope'sfree-will. Now,intheeventthatyousupposeandImustsayitisamostunlikely case-inwhichthePopewantedtopur-

poselymisleadtheChurchinanimportantmatterconcerningfaithor morals,thenGod,becauseofHispromisetotheChurch,wouldintervene. ButeveninthiscaseGod'sinterventionwouldnotnecessarilymeanany interferencewiththePope'sfacultyof free-will.Thereisanalmostinfinite numberofwaysbywhichGodcould achieveHispurposewithoutinfluencinginanydegreeatallthefree-willof themanwhowishedtoabusesucha tremendousprerogative.Inthecase youinstancethePopewouldbequite freetomakeuphismindtomislead thefaithful-therewouldbenointerferencethereonGod'spart,butthe Pope,havingmadeuphismind,quite freely,Godwouldthenintervene,miraculouslyifnecessary,topreventthe Popeputtinghisintentionintoeffect. ButthePope'sfree-willisnotviolated. Topreventamanputtinghiswishes intoeffectisnottodenyhimfreewill theformulatingofthoseintentions.

Butsupposeyouinsistand.putit likethis,thatthePopeisnotfreeto speakanythingbutthetruthwhenhe makesaninfalliblepronouncement. Well,hemaymakeuphismindto speakthetruthornot,justashe pleases,butshouldhemakeuphis mindtospeakanythingotherthanthe truththen,asIsaid,Godwouldintervene-nottoinfluencethePope'swill directly,buttopreventhisputting hisfreely-willedintentionintoeffect. Atnostageisthereanyviolationof thePope'sfree-will.

Q.:TheinfallibilityofthePopewas declaredbyaPopewhowasnotthen regardedasinfalliblebyall,andhe mayhaveerredinthatdeclaration.

Pleaseexplainthis.

A.:AsIhavebeenatpainstopoint outthePopein1870didnotdeclarea newdoctrinewhenhedefinedthe dogmaofinfallibility.HemerelydeclaredthatthisdoctrinehadbeenrevealedbyChristHimself,andhadalwaysbeenpartoftheChurch'steaching.Thediscussionatthetimethis doctrinewasdefinedwasnotasto whetherthePopehadpowerfrom Christtospeakwithinfallibleauthorityonmattersoffaithandmorals, butastowhetheritwasprudenttodefinethedoctrineatthatparticulartime whenpoliticalcapitalwouldprobably bemadeoutofthepronouncement. Therewasnodoubt,however,astothe doctrineitself.

Andnow,gettingbacktothefirst letter,from"SeekerAfterTruth,"Fremantle,thenextquestionisbasedon averyspeciousargument.

"TheJesuitsweredrivenfromSpain, Portugal,andFranceandotherRomanCatholiccountries,andsuppressedbythePopein1773,yetthey arepermittedinBritainandthe UnitedStatesofAmerica.Isnot thisanindicationthatProtestants aremoretolerantthanCatholics?"

A.:Notatall.Itistruethatat varioustimesinthepast Jesuits havebeendrivenoutofCatholiccoun tries,butthenatsometimeorother theyhavebeendrivenoutofalmost everycountryintowhichtheOrder hasbeenintroduced.Theyhave beendrivenoutofCatholiccountries byanti-CatholicGovernmentsinthose countries,andalwaysforthebasestof motives,butIwouldn'thavechosen BritainasashiningexampleoftoleranceifIwereyou,fortheJesuitswere bannedinEnglandtooforquitealong whileaftertheso-calledReformation.

Q.:"Theendjustifiesthemeans."Is thisadoctrinetaughtbytheRoman CatholicChurch?Ifso,couldn'tany crimebejustified?

A.:Ifitwere,itcould,butitisn't. TheChurchalwaylshasandalways willcondemnthedoctrinethat"the endjustifiesthemeans."Thisbeing so,thereisnopointinyourfount, questionaboutthemassacreofSt. Bartholomew'sDay.Exceptperhaps this:Yousay,"asfarascanbeascertainedtheperpetratorsofthishorrible crimewerenotreprimandedbythe Popein1572."Well,itmightinterest youtoknowthattheperpetrators werereprimandedbythePope.The massacrehadnothingtodowiththe Church,inthefirstplace.TheChurch didnotinstigatethepogrom,nordid thePopehaveanyknowledgeofitbeforehand.-Itwasapurelypolitical andcold-bloodedmurderengineered byCatherinedeMedici,awomanalmostcompletelyirreligious.Afterit happenedalyingreportwassentto thePope.Hewastoldthatitwasa likuccessfulrepressionofaplottomurdertheKing.Inthanksgivingforthe King'ssafety,thePopeorderedaTe DeumtobesunginRome.Butwhen GregoryXIIIheardtherealstory,he expressedhishorrorandoutrightcondemnation,andrefusedtoallowone oftheleadersoftheattacktobepresentedtohim,saving,"Iwillnotreceiveamurderer."

Q,:Iwouldbegladifyouwouldanswertheabovefully.Iamaconstantlistener-intoyourbroabcasts, butamnotquiteclearonyourpronouncementswhenyouputthe blameforwrong-doingonindividuals connectedwiththeChurch,whilein youropiniontheChurchisblameless. SurelytheChurchmustacceptresponsibilityfortheactsofitsauthorisedagents?

A.:Firstofall,Iwouldliketopoint outthatIamnotmakingpersonalpronouncementsonCatholicdoctrinein this,session,butmerelyplacingbefore youtheofficialteachingoftheChurch.

NowtheChurchacceptsresponsibility fortheactsofherauthorisedagents inmuchthesamewayasdoesthepoliticalgovernmentofacountry.First ofall,aGovernmentwouldonlyaccept responsibilityfortheofficialactsofits representatives.Secondly,iftheseactionswerenotinaccordancewithgovernmentpolicyandinstructions,then theywouldberepudiatedbythegovernmentconcerned,andrightlyso,too. Itwouldberidiculoustoimputeevery singleaction,publicandprivate,ofan officialrepresentativetothebody thatherepresents.So,too,withthe Church.Shedoesnot,andcannot,be expectedtoacceptresponsibilityfor everyactofherauthorisedagents whetherinthedischargeoftheiroffice ornot.Andeveninthedischarge oftheirofficetheChurchhasevery righttorepudiateactionsthatarenot inaccordancewithherdoctrines,prim

TheChurchcannever'dowrong,for Christhaspromisedtobewithherall dayseventotheconsummationofthe world.Andso,whateverabouther ministersandmembers,theChurch MUST,inthelightofthosewords,be withoutblameuntiltheendoftime.

Q.:WhydoesyourChurchconfound sanctificationwithjustification?By yourmethodofconfessionandabsolution,yourflockneverrealiseor reachsanctification.Justification throughChristleadstosancity,but notthroughapriesttheforgiveness ofsinsbymanwasabolishedwhen Christpaidthesupremesacrifice.

A.:Thereappeartobeseveralideas underlyingtheselinesofyours.You seemtosuggestthattheSacramentof PenanceorConfession,asitisoften called,hinderedratherthanhelped one'ssanctificationandperfection.On theotherhand,itisactuallyoneof theprincipalmeansofachievingsanctityleftusbyChrist.Justification throughChrist,yousay,leadstosanctity,butwhatdoyoumeanby"justificationthroughChrist"?Furthermore,itisnotthepriesthimselfwho sanctifiesyoubutChrist.Thepriest issimplyHisminister,actingwithdelegatedauthorityandpowerfrom Christ.Thepriestdoesnotforgive sinsofhimself,forGodalonecanforgivesin,butitisamatterratherof thewayinwhichGodhaschosento administerthatforgiveness.WeCatholicsholdthatGodcandelegatethat powerifHesowishes,justthesame asthesupremeauthorityintheState candelegateajudgetoadministerjustice.Youwouldn'tdenyGodthat power,wouldyou?AndChristdefinitelysaidtotheapostles:Whosesins youshallforgivetheyareforgiven them;andwhosesinsyoushallretain theyareretained.(Jn.,XX,23.)

ThatcanonlymeanthatChristdelegatedHispowerasGodtoforgive sinanddelegatedittothepriestsof HisChurchintheSacramentofPenance.Iftheforgivenessofsininthe

SacramentofPenancedoesnotjustify asThnerinthesightofGod,thenwhat will?FaithinGod'smercyisnot enough-Ihaveoftenstressedthat point.And,ifyoudon'tacceptthe wordsofChristwhichIhavejustquotedforyouinthesensethattheyare interpretedbytheCatholicChurch, thenwhatdoyouthinkIStheirreal meaning?"Whosesinsyoushallforgivetheyareforgiventhem;and whosesinsyoushallretaintheyareretained."Finally,theforgivenessof sinsbymanwasnotabolishedwhen ChristpaidthesupremeSacrificeas yousay,fortheverysimplereason thatitwasneverrecognisedintheOld Lawthatmancouldforgivesin.Why ononeoccasiontheJewswantedto stoneChristtodeathbecauseHeforgavesinandtheysaidthatonlyGod coulddothat,ThereforeHewasmakingHimselfequaltoGod'andthatwas blasphemy,acapitaloffence.Soyou see,thatevenbeforeChrist'ssacrifice theforgivenessofsinebymanwas neverrecognised,tobeabolished. (Mark,chapter2,verse7.)

ASeeker,Perth:

Q.:AsyourChurchclaimstobethe firstandonlyoneteachingunadulteredreligion,canyoutellmewhythe beliefinreincarnationhasnotbeen taughtsince,W,rLord'stime,because,accordifftotheBible,Matt., XVL,13-14,itwasarecognisedbelief?

A.:Ithinkyoumistakethemeaning ofthepassageyouquote.Christhad askedthed.ciples,"Whomdomen saythattheSonofManis?"andthey replied,"SomeJohntheBaptist,and othersElias,andothersJeremias,or oneoftheprophets."Buttheydid notmeanthattheprophetsmentioned hadappearedagaininthebodyofanotherman.Theythoughtthatitwas actuallyEliashimselfwhohadappearedonearthagain,orJeremias,orJohn theBaptist,asthecasemaybe.That isnotthedoctrineofreincarnationas itisusuallyunderstood.

Inanycase,eveniftheydidmean theirwordsinthatsense,thenthereasonwhythedoctrinehasnotbeen taughtsinceChrist'stimeisbecause itisquitecontrarytotheteachingof Christ.Hetaughtthatmenshallall riseagainattheendoftheworld,and nottillthen,withthesamebodiesthat wehaveinthislife.Itispaganand quiterepultivetoChristianitytobelievethatoursoulsbecomereincarnate inthebodiesofothermenor,worse still,ofanimals.Thedoctrineisstill widelyheldinsomeOrientalcountries, butlikemanyothermistakendoctrines currentatthetimeofChrist,itwas finallysupplantedintheWestbythe truthofChristianity.
