BethKinsman,MentonPark:

Q.:IamnotaRomanCatholic,but believetherearemanysincereChristiansamongstthem...YetIcannotunderstandwhyCatholiesdoand believemanythingsthatarenotauthorisedbytheScriptures.

A.:Formanynon-Catholicsthe Bibleisthesoleruleoffaith,inthe sensethatunlessathingistherewritteninblackandwhiteintheBible they'willnotbelievethatithasbeen revealedbyGod.NowasIhaveexplainedbefore,thesynthesisofdoctrinesthatcomprisetheCatholicfaith havetheiroriginintwosources-the writingsoftheOldandNewTestaments,andtheperennialteachingof theChurchknownastradiiton.You see,allthetruthsthatChristrevealed whenoneartharenotwrittendown forusintheGospelsorintheother booksoftheNewTestament.AsSt. Johnhimselfsaysattheendofhis Gospel:"Therearealsomanyother thingswhichJesusdid:whichifthey werewritteneveryone.theworlditself,Ithink,wouldnotbeabletocontainthebooksthatshouldbewritten." Inotherwords,Scriptureitselfdenies thatitistheonlyruleoffaith!

Andthatisjustthepointinthe teachingauthorityclaimedbythe Church,throughwhichCatholicsknow thatthedoctrinesofChristarebeing faithfullyhandeddownfromgenerationtogeneration,whethertheyare containedinthewrittenScripturesor

intheoraltraditionoftheChurch.St. Paultellsusoverandoveragainthat muchofChristianteachingistobe foundintradition.Onewhoclings tothereadingoftheBibleonlymight beabletocitehundredsoftextsyet stillnotknowallthatChristreally taughtandthesignificanceofit.Why, theadoptionoftheBibleonlyasthe ruleoffaithhasledtoasmany,opinionsastherearebelieversamongnonCatholics.Inanycase,Scripturetells usvery,veryclearlythattheCatholic Churchistheruleoffaith-that ChurchwhichChristsenttoteachall nationsandwhichHecommanded mentohearandobey.OnewhobelievesinScriptureashisonlyguide endsbybelievinginhisownmistaken interpretatiorisoftheBible,andthat meansthatheendsbybelievinginhimself.Whatismore,asyouknow,the booksoftheNewTestamentwerewrit tenatvarioustimesbetween40and90 yearsafterthefoundationofthe Church.IftheGospelsweretheonly ruleoffaith,thenbeforetheywere writtentherecouldhavebeenno Christianruleoffaithatall!

Q.:WhydoyoupraytotheVirgin Maryaskinghertointercedewith Christ,who,theBiblesays,isthe onlymediatorbetweenGodand man?

A.:Well,thisquestionhasreally beendealtwithbefore,butitmightbe justaswelltoreiterateCatholicteachingregardingthepoweroftheMother ofGodtointercedeforusinheaven. ChrististhesoleMediatorbetween GodandmaninHisownright.But throughHim,withHim,andinHim, Maryisalso,asit(were,asecondary mediatrixonourbehalf.Without Christshewouldhavenopoweratall. andthereforeHeisthesourceofall mediationwithGodonbehalfofmen. CatholicsdonotbelievethatMaryis divine,orthatMaryisomnipotent, butthatthroughherwehaveaccess totheomnipotenceofGod.Inasking hertointercedeforus,wearenot doinganythingun-Scriptural.All throughtheBibleyouwillfindGod conferringfavoursthroughtheprayers ortheintercessionofothers.Inthe OldTestamentwereadoftheprayers ofAbraham,Moses,andofthevarious prophets.IntheNewTestamentSt. Tamestellsus(V,18):"Prayonefor another,thatyoumaybesaved.For thecontinualprayerofajustman availethmuch."Ifwemustalways praydirectlytoGodandmaynotask theprayer4sofothers,whydidSt.Paul writetotheThessalonians,"Prayfor usthatwemaybedeliveredfromimportunateandevilmen?"(2Thee., 2).Whydidn'theaskthatdirectly ofGod,insteadofaskingtheprayers oftheThessalonians?Orwouldyou bemoreScripturalthantheNewTestamentitself?Andifsuchpoweris attributedbyJamesandPaultothe prayersofordinarymen,hots./much morepowerfulmustbetheintercessionoftheMotherofGodherself

DidtheIrishDiscover America..

ClaimsofSt.BrendanSupported byIcelandicScholar

Astowhowastheactualdiscoverer ofAmerica,claimsaremadeatthe momentbytheChinese,Japanese,Negroes,Welsh,DanesandIrish,writes ColinWardin"TheIrishWeekly." Generallyspeaking,theonlypointat whichtheseclaimantsagreeisthat whoeverelsethediscovererofAmericawas,itcertainlywasnotChristopherColumbus,whoserealname,by theway,wasChristobalColon,andnot ChristopherColumbusatall.Columbusneversetfootonthemainlandof NorthorSouthAmerica.Hisfirst landing,onOctober12,1492,wason theislandofSanSalvador.Onhis returnvoyageshelandedonother islandsintheWestIndies,andalthoughhesailedalongthewhole lengthoftheAmericancoastfromthe islandofGuanga,onthenorthcoast toHonduras,downtothesouth,and backtoSpain:heneverlanded.

AtpresentitistheclaimoftheIrish asbeingthediscoverersofAmerica thatismosttothefore.Hithertofore theladingIrishcandidateforthe honourhasbeenSt.Brendan.How ever,althoughthestoryofSt.Brendan'svoyagetothe"WesternParadise"waswellknownintheMiddle Ages,andispreservedinmanuscripts inseverallanguages,theaccountis generallyadmittedtobelegendary

ThecurrentclaimoftheIrishis supportedbydocumentaryevidence, andisstrengthenedbythefactthat itsadvocateisThorThors,thegreat Icelandicscholar,whocitesashisauthoritythe"DeMensuraOrbisTerrae,"writtenintheyear825A.D.,by Dicuil,anIrishMonk,livinginFrance, andpointsoutthattheIrishhaddiscoveredIcelandandwerelivingthere before795A.D.

"Noscholar,"declaresThors,"disputestheaccuracyofDicuil'saccount, andtheideathattheearlyIrishnarrativesaredisputedresultsfromconfusingDicuilwithBrendan."

Inthelightofthisstatementitmay heasked-grantedthattheIrishwere inIceland60yearsbeforethefirst Scandinavians-howdoesthatjustify theconclusionthatIrishmendiscoveredAmerica?

IcelandicScholar'sTheory.

Areasonableassumption,basedupon thepremisethattheIrish,emulating theEskimos-whoareknowntohave maderegulartripstoNewfoundland -pushedontoGreenland,andlandedonwhatisnowthecoastofAmerica.

CristobalColon,orChristopherColumbus,theItalianyouth,diedwithouteverknowingthathehaddiscoveredanew:world.Hebelievedallalong thathehadfoundanewroutetoIndia.

BothColumbus,theItalian,andLeif Ericsen,theDane,whentheyarrived onAmericanshores,foundhumaninhabitantsandplentyofevidencethat notonlyhadthecountrybeendiscovered,buttoaconsiderableextent,settledbymenandwomenlongbefore thearrivalofanyEuropeans.And justhowlongbeforeisaquestiondiscussedjudiciallyinabrochureissued recentlybytheFieldMuseumofNa tionalHistoryinChicago.

Nodogmaticanswertothequestion isgiven,butenquirersareassuredof onething:humanbeingsdiscovered Americasolongagothattherewere camelsinthecountryatthattime.

What'smore,inallprobability,the originalhorse,thegrandfatherofthe EuropeanhorseswhichwereintroducedintoAmericaafter1492,stamped thepristineturfofthecountrythen. And.quitelikely,thegiantsloth swungfromthebranchesoverhanging thesiteswherethegreatAmerican citiesnowstand.Thoseextinctbeasts werecontemporariesofthefirstAmericans.

AnotherSuggestion,

Inhisintroductiontothebrochure mentioned,indicatingtheimportant excavationsandanalysisofprehistoric humanremains,Mr.PaulS.Martin, ChiefCuratoroftheDepartmentof AnthropologyattheFieldMuseum, writes:

"Wemustacceptwhatinformation themostcompetentgeologistscangive usconcerningthelengthoftimeman hasinhabitedtheNewWorld.All evidenceseemstoshowthathehadnot arrivedinNewAmericabeforethelast glaciation.Allthepcissibleroutes throughCanadawereprobablyblockedduringtheperiodoftimefrom 65,000to20,000yearsago.However, therewasoneexception-abreakin theicewhichoccurredabout40,000 yearsago.Atthattimeitwouldhave beenpossibleforamantotravelfrom BeringStraitsthroughAlaska,down theMackenzieRiver,andalongthe easternpartoftheRockyMountains, oralongtheplateaubetweentheRockiesandtheCoastRange,although thereisnoconclusiveevidencethat thisoccurred.

"Forthelast20,000years,however, therehasbeenanopenroutefrom Alaskasouthward.CarefulinvestigationsconductedbythestaffofGila Pueblo,Globe,Arizona,in1937,show thattherewerepeoplelivingonthe beachesofnowdrylakes,whichwere formedduringtherainyperiodsthat weresynchronouswithglaciations.

EarlyIrishWriters.

TheearlyIrishwriters-Dicuil,Dungal,DunsScotusandSedulius-derivedmuchprofitfromtheirsojournon theContinent.Theyallperfectedin Europetheknowledgeacquiredin theirnativeland.Butfromthetestimoniesoftheircontemporariestothe learnedmenwhocamefromIreland itwouldappearthattheythemselves consideredthelearningofthemen fromIrelandtobesuperior,andrealisedthattheprogressmadeinspiritual andintellectuallifewaslargelytheir achievement.

Dicuil,theIrishgeographer,who completedhistreatise,"DeMensura OrbisTerrae,"intheyear825,declares thatIrishmonkshadvisitedtheFaroe Isle,situatedalmosthalf-waybetween theOrkneysandIceland,andthat aboutahundredyearsearlier-A.D. 795-some65or70yearsbeforethe dategenerallyacceptedforitsdiscoverybytheScandinavians,theyhad discoveredthelatterisland,whichhe calledThule.Dicuil'stestimonyis confirmedbythetraditionpreserved intheIcelandic"Land-na-Mabok."
