By1920Fremantlehaddeveloped intoacityof25,000people.Itwas butnatural,therefore,toexpectthat itwouldbesubdividedintoseveral parishes.Dr.Clune,Archbishopof Perth,askedtheVicarofMissionsto giveupthatdistrictknownasNorth Fremantle,asitwastobecomeaseparateparishincareofasecularpriest.

Anyhow,thinkitover.Puzzlehead.

Q.:Isitrightfor'Christianstohate atheistsastheydo?Theso-called -sometimesself-styled-atheistdoes nothatetheChristians.

A.:ItiswrongforChristianstohate anybody,evenatheists.Ontheother hand,itistruetosaythatifgood Christiansdonothateatheists,they dodetesttheirdoctrine.Howcould theydoanythingelseinconscience buthatethismonstrousinsulttoAlmightyGodandtohumanintelligence?TheattitudeofaChristian toanatheistshouldbetheattitude Christadoptedtowardsthosewho clungtodarknessratherthanthelight Hecametobringthem:anattitudeof pity,patienceandlove.

Q.:ChristsaidHecamenottoalter thelawbuttoenforceit,andthen (yousay)rescindedallthelawsof theOldTestamentregardingdivorce.

A.:ChristsaidthatHecamenotto destroythelaw,buttofulfillit.And thatispreciselywhatHedidwhen HereiteratedtheOldLawconcerning divorce.InSt.Matthew'sGospel Christisquotedassaying:"Haveye notread,thatHethatmadethemfrom thebeginning,madethemmaleand female,andsaid,forthiscauseshalla manleavehisfatherandmotherand shallcleavetohiswife;andthetwain shallbecomeoneflesh?Sothatthey arenomoretwainbutoneflesh:What thereforeGodhathjoinedtogetherlet nomanputasunder.Theysayunto Him,WhythendidMosescommand togiveabillofdivorcement,andto putheraway?Hesaithuntothem: Mosesforyourhardnessofheartsufferedyoutoputawayyourwives;but fromthebeginningithathnotbeen so."(Revisedversion,Matt.XIX., 4-8.)

Inthatverypassageyouhaveyour answer,Puzzlehead.Theoriginallaw wasnodivorce,andChristreiterated thislawfromwhichtheJewshadbeen dispensedtemporarilybecauseofthe hardnessoftheirhearts.

Q.:Christtaughtthedoctrineof"resistnotevil"and"loveyourenemies,"yetHedrovetiemoneychangersfromthetemplewitha whip.(Theycertainlydidn'ttake longtocomeback.) Isthisconsistent?

A.:NowheredoesChristteachthe doctrine"Resistnotevil."Onthe contrary,Hetaughtustoresistitwith allourmight.InSt.Matthew,V.,39, wereadofChristsaying,"Resistnot himthatisevil,"butthatisanentirelydifferentthing.Christalways taughtconsistentlythatweshould hatethesinandlovethesinner.

Yes,Christtaughtustoloveourenemies,butwhenHedrovethemoneychangersfromthetempleHewasnot beinginconsistent.Ifafatherchastisesachildforwrong-doingitdoesn't meanthathedoesn'tlovethechild. Ratherit.islovethatpromptsthe fathertoseekthegreatestgoodfor hischild;andlikewise,whenChrist drovethemoney-changersfromthe temple,Hedidnothatethem-Hewas seekingtheirowngood,andthegood ofallthosewhowouldlearnHislessonbycontemplatingtheincidentin afteryears.

Q.:Christsaidyoumustbelievein Himtobesaved.Isnotbelief,like love,aninvoluntaryemotion?

Q.:Finally,whyshouldGodgiveyou somuchfaithandmesolittle,or airsIreasonableinthinkingperhaps itisIwhohavethefaithbecauseI ampreparedtohavetowaitandsee (notwithoutalittlehope-alwaysI hope).

A.:Inthelastanalysisthereason whyGodgivesmoretooneandless toanotherisjustHisinscrutable-Providence-amystery.Wedonotknow thereasonbecauseHehasnotrevealedittous.Wecanonlyacceptthe fact,knowingthattoallmenHegives sufficientfortheirsalvation,for,asSt. Paultellsus,Godwishesallmento cometotheknowledgeoftruthand tobesaved.

Q.:OnSunday,August1,youstressed the"Divine"appointmentofthe Popes.

A.:OnSunday,Augustthefirst,I said,inanswertoaquestion:"Finally mightIremindyouthatPiusXII.is thedivinelyappointedspiritual Fatherofmenofallnations,heisthe enemyofnomanandofnonation,but allareequallyinhiseyeschildrenof GodandmembersofChrist."

Now,Idonotthinkthatcouldbe called"stressingthe'Divine'appointmentofthePopes."Itwasmerely referringinpassingtothefactthat thePapacywasinstitutedbyChrist andis,therefore,aDivineinstitution, andPiusXII.beingadulyelected memberofthePapacy,wasconsequently,theDivinelyappointedFather ofallmen.Theremarkwasnotmeant tohaveconveyedthatindividualPopes werepersonallyappointedbya"Divinity."

Q.:Howdidthedivinity(presumed tobeinfallible)cometomakesuch hideousmistakesastheappointmentsofGregoryIX.,whoconceivedtheInquisitionAlexanderVI., who,thoughaso-calledcelibate, wastheadmittedfatherofCesare Borgia-perhapsthegreatestGrimanalknowntohistory?

A.:Reading'historyoneisamazedat thenumberofgoodandsaintlyPopes therehavebeen,andatthefewwho

havebeenunworthyoftheiroffice.It isdifficulttoascribethisremarkable facttoanythinglessthanthatDivine ProvidenceiswatchingoverthePapacy.Inadynastyof262Popesnot morethansixor.sevencanbesaidto havebeenunworthyoftheiroffice, whilesixtyarecanonisedsaints,forthe mostpartmartyrswhohavediedfor theirfaith.IfyourejectthePapacy becauseofbadPopes,youmustalso rejecttheApostlesthemselves,because oneofthemwasatraitor.TheproportionofhadPopesisroughlyone in37;theproportionofbadApostles was1in2.

WhenwesaythatthePopeisinfalliblewedonotmeanthatheisimpeccableandcannotsin.Heisjustas humanasweare.Allwemeanis thatthePopecannotmakeamistake when,asHeadoftheChurchand Christ'sVicaronearth,hedefinesdoctrinesconcerningfaithandmoralsto beheldbyallthefaithful.Hisown personalsanctityhasnothingtodo withthequestion.AjudgeintheSupremeCourtmaybeleadinganimmorallife,butthatdoesnotprevent himmakingcorrectjudgementsabout thelaw,eventhoughhemaybebreak ingthatverylawhimself.So,too,th. Pope,thoughheisunworthyofhis office,maypronounceinfallibly-2-mcerningGod'slaw.

Idonotknowwhatyouimagine theInquisitionwas.Butitistrue thatGregoryIX.,asyounaivelysay, conceivedtheInquisition.Hesetup or"inquisitores,"withpower andproceduretodealwithheresy,especiallyAlbigensianism,intheSouth ofFrance.TheAlbigensianheresy wasalsoathreattotheState,forits doctrine,thatmarriagewasevilinitself,wasdepopulatingthecountry. TheEmperorFrederickimposedthe deathsentenceonallheretics,because heconsideredtheywereamenaceto theState,andGregoryIX.recognised thissentenceofthecivillawas"due punishment."Theredoesnotseemto beanythingparticularlyevilinthis, andhistoryrecordsthatGregorywas aprelateofripeexperience,learned, resolute,notablyreligious,andaPatron oftheUniversityofParis.Hewas afriendofSt.FrancisofAssisiand St.Dominic,whobothdealtsoeffectivelywithheresybytheirpreaching.

SotheappointmentofGregoryas Popeseemsnottohavebeenthehideousmistakeyousayitwas.

PopeAlexanderVI.,whoreigned from1492-1503,wasamanofgreat ability,vigorousandcapableinaffairs

andcharminginmanner.Itisnow agreedthathewashardlysobada manashehasbeenpainted-afterall commonsensewouldtellusthatone mancouldnothavedoneallthethings attributedtoAlexander. Nevertheless,heisstronglysuspectedofhavingfacilitatedhisownelectiontothe Papacy.Heabusedhispositionin ordertoamasswealthwhichhedissipatedingambling.Hisrelationswith womenwereopenandnotorious.But hispersonalsinswouldnothaveaffectedhisinfallibilityasPope,muchas hisunworthinessforthatofficewas deploredbyCatholicsboththenand now.AsChrist'sVicaronearth,no matterhowunworthyoftheposition, hecouldstillpronounceinfalliblyconcerningdoctrinesoffaithandmorals tobeheldbyallthefaithful,justas thejudgeImentionedbeforecould, thoughbreakingthelawhimself,inhis officialcapacity,makesoundjudgementsconcerningcivillaw.

Q.:Andwhydid"TheDivinity"appointAlfonso,anothermemberof thenotoriousBorgiagang,underthe pseudonymofCallixtusEa?

A.:SomehowIthinkyoumustbear agrudgeagainsttheBorgiafamily. Firstofallyouaccuseoneofbeing thegreatestcriminalinhistory,and thenyouspeakasthoughaBorgia weredefactoanoutlaw.Youforget perhapsthatoneofthemwasasaint, St.FrancisBorgia,S.J.,andeventhe badoneswerenotasbadastheyhavebeenpainted.Anyhow,whypickon poorAlfonso?Hedidnothidebehindanypseudonym;hejusttookthe nameCallixtusorCallistusIII,when hebecamePopeonApril8,1455.After threeyearshedied,avenerablePontiffofexcellentreputation.Hischief worksweretorevisethetrialofJoan ofArc,arevisionwhichultimatelyled tohercanonisation,andtocanonisean Englishsaint,St.OsmundofSalisbury. However,shortthoughhisreignwas. hecausedconsiderablediscontentby advancingandshowingpreferencefor hisrelativesandcountrymen.This faultmighteasilyhavebeenforgiven inanoldman,butatworstitcould nothavebeenconsideredasmorethan badpolicy.Soalsoisthewayin whichyouseeminglycondemnallBorgiasasmembersofanotoriousgang badpolicy.Itisbadpolicyandalso badhistory.Finally,Idonotsee howyoucouldconsidertheappointmentofCallixtusIII.inanywaythe "hideousmistake"yourlettersuggests itwas.

Sorrento,ParishandHouseofMissions.

Asalreadymentioned,afoundation wassecuredintheMelbourneArch. diocesein1926. OnMay16ofthat year,FatherCallanannouncedtothe littlecongregationtherethattheOblateFatherswereabouttotakecharge ofthedistrict.Afewweekslater, FatherHavesarrivedfromtheWest andwentintoresidenceinacottage loanedbyaMrs.Devine,untilsuch timeasapresbyterywouldbebuiltTheworkentrustedtousinSorrento wasatrulyOblateone.Therewere onlyabout150Catholicsscatteredover thepeninsulafromPortseatoRye. Theywerepoor,andfromaspiritual pointofview,moreorlessabandoned. Itistrueapriestcamefromtimeto timetosayMass.especiallyduringthe crowdedholidayseason.Butthere wasnoCatholicschoolwithin30miles. Theresultwasthatthepeoplewithfew exceptionswereignorantoftherudimentsofourHolyFaith.Forthe firsttwoYearstheRectorcookedhis ownbreakfastandtea,andwenttothe localhotelforhismiddaymeal.His meansofconveyanceoverthescattered parishwasanantiquatedmotor-cycle, whichrepeatedlyrefusedtostrikeoil!

In1931anewchurchwasopenedin Rye,attheotherendoftheparish,at acostof£1,100.TheArchbishop,on thisoccasion,confirmed30candidates.

DuringthisyeartheSistersof MercypurchasedalittlecottageinSorrento,withaviewtoopeningaCatholicschool.Theurgencyofthelatter needsnoelaboration.Thenewschool wasbuiltattheendof1931,aidwas formallyblessedbyDr.Mannixin January,1932.Therewere30pupils tostartwith.

thechurchatSorrento wasrenovatedthroughout.Stationsof theCross,marblealtar,andthreestainedglasswindowswereinstalled,giving toSt.Mary's,StaroftheSea,atruly artisticanddevotionalatmosphere.

Withtheadditionofanewconvent thisyear,theparishofSorrentois fullyequippedfromeverypointof view.Whowouldhavethoughtin 1926thatsuchaprogrammecouldhave beencarriedoutwithsuchslender resources!Assuredlythepeopleof SorrentoarejustlyhappyforthearrivaloftheOblateFathers.

Missions(EasternStates).

ThefirstOblateMissioninVictoria wasgivenbyFathersAhearneand PurcellinWestMelbourne,Octolio625,1929.Sincethentheworkhas forgedaheadyearbyyear,andwith theincreaseintheMission-Staff,our labourshaveextendedalloverthe EasternStatesfromQueenslandtoTasmania.From1930to1940theFathers fromSorrentoconductedover200Missionsand300Retreats,andeachyear hadtorefusemanyapplicationsowing tothelimitednumberofFathers.Our Missionsatalltimeshavebeenconductedaccordingtothetraditionsof ourCongregationandhavebeensingularlyblessed.LaudeturJesusChristusetMariaImmaculata.

Thisdreadfulwar,inwhichAustraliaissodeeplyinvolved,has,ofcourse, curtailedmissionaryactivity.But wheninGod'sgoodtimepeaceisrestoredtotheSouth-WestPacific,St. Mary's,Sorrento,withitsaccommodationfortenFathers,willbecomeonce moreaspiritualpower-houseformissionaryendeavours.

St.Joseph'sNovitiate,Geelong.

InOctober,1932,anIndultwasreceivedfromRomeerectingourSorrentohousetothestatusofaNovitiate.Whenadvisedofthis,Dr.Mannixseemedverysurprised;andwhile heagreedtothemoveasanOblate affair,HisGracethoughtamoresuitableplacecouldbefoundforthispurpose.Towardstheendof1932,Father D'Arcy,apriestoftheBallaratDiocese,informedtheOblateSuperiorthat hewoulddonateablockof40acres nearGeelongfortheproposedNovitiate.FatherD'Arcywasempowered todothisaccordingtothetermsof hislatebrother'swill,ofwhichhewas executor.

WhenFatherHayesannouncedthis newstohisCommunity,theydidnot sharehisenthusiasm.Theywereof theopinionthatwhereasSorrentowas verysuitableforaNovitiateexperiment,itwasmostunsuitableasa HouseforMissioners.Being60miles fromMelbourne,considerableexpense andtravelwereinvolvedtoandfrom thecity,evenbeforestartingtheir journeystothevariousscenesoflabour.TheFatherswerelookingforwardtoahousenearthecitywithin reasonableaccessoftrainandmotor services.Theacceptanceoftheland nearGeelongandtheerectionofa buildingthere,wouldprejudiceour chancesofanotherhouseintheArchdiocese.Howeveritwasnowtoolate toreasonastheofferwasaccepted.

Thelegaltransferofthe40-acreblock tookaconsiderabletime.Itwasonly inJanuary,1934,thatitwasfinalised. Thenextstepwasthedrawingupof plansfortheproposedNoviceship.The firstofthesewasrejectedbytheProvincialCouncilastooambitious,and modifiedplanshadtobesubmitted. Eventuallyaplanofabuildingtocost about£8,000wasapproved.Workwas begunonJuly5,1934,andinMarch, 1935,theNovitiatehousewasalmost ready.ItwasplacedunderthepatronageofSt.Joseph.FatherIlayes hadalreadybeenappointedNovice Master,hisplaceasSuperiorofSorrentobeingfilledbyFath.1-T.Haugh (March,1935).FatherD'Arcy,owing tohisgenerosity,wasaccordedthe privilegeofsayingthefirstMassinSt. Joseph'sNovitiateonMarch12-inpresenceoftwopostulantswhohadjust arrived.

AsSt.Joseph'sissituated6miles fromGeelong,outintheopenfields, muchdifficultywasmetwithinthe earlystagesinsecuringsupplies.However,inthecourseoftime,theacquisitionofautilitytruckhelpedtosolve theproblem.

St.Joseph'swassingularlyhonoured in1937bythevisitoftheApostolic Delegate,ArchbishopPanics),andinthe sameyear,ofVeryRev.FatherSweeney,O.M.I.,asthepersonalrepresentativeoftheSuperiorGeneral.
