Q.:IcannotunderstandhowanyMass orsuchceremoniescanalterGod's will. IcannotrecallwhereChrist orHisApostlessuggestedanysuch thing.

A.:Well,Iguessyouunderstand readilyenoughhowthepetitionsand representationsmadebyfriendsandrelativestoahumanjudgecouldmove himtocommuteasentenceofdeathto oneofpenalservitudeforlife.You couldunderstand,too,howrepresentationsmadebyotherscouldmovea mantoreleaseanotherfromadebt whichheowedhim.Soyoureally shouldn'thavemuchdifficultyinunderstandinghowtheprayersofChristiansonearthcanmoveGodtorelease asoulfromPurgatory.Ofcourse, yourdifficultyisthatyoudon'ttake intoconsiderationthedoctrineofPurgatory.However,IthinkthatiiChrist suggeststhatthereisaPurgatoryitis onlyreasonabletobelievethatprayers, andespeciallytheMass,whichisthe greatestprayerofall,willhelprelease soulsfromthatstateofpurification. AndChristdoesspeakofsuchaplace whenHesays:"Thoushaltnotgoout fromthence,tillthourepaythelast farthing"(Matt.,5,26).Healso speaksofsinswhich'shallnotbeforgiveneitherinthisworldorinthe worldtocome"(Matt.,12,32)implyingthatthereisaplaceintheworld tocomewheresinsareforgivenand wheredebtsarepaid.Moreover,we havetheteachingofScripturesin2 Mach.,12,46,whereweread:"Itisa holyandawholesomethoughttopray forthedeadthattheymaybeloosed fromtheirsins."

But,inanycase,evenifthewords ofChristexplicitlyteachingsomedoetrinearenotrecordedanywhere,that wouldnotbeproofthatChristdid notteachit.TheGospelsdonot claimtobeacompleterecordofall thatChristdidorsaid.Onthecc's. trary,theyclaimtheveryOpposite whenSt.Johnwrites;"Andthereare alsomanyotherthingswhichJesus did,whichiftheyshouldbewritten everyone,theworlditselfIthink wouldnotbeabletocontainthebooks thatshouldbewritten"(Jo.,21,25).

Ontheotherhand,thesurestguide foraCatholicastojustwhatChrist actuallyDIDteachisthetraditonal doctrineoftheChurchitselfwhichHe founded.AndthefulldoctrineconcerningPurgatoryhadbeentaught fromApostolictimes.Sothat'sthat.

TheGospelsbearwitnessthatChrist gatheredtwelvemenaboutHim,trainedthemandsentthemwithHisown authoritytoteach,sanctify,andrule mankindspirituallythroughthemediumofHisChurch.ItisbyacceptanceofthisinstitutionofChrist's,and byenteringintoitslifeofSacrificeand Sacramentsthatsalvationisbrought tomen.SurelyTHATisthereal planofredemption.Howcanwebe saidtoacceptChristinspiritandin truthifwerejectthisdivineinstitutionofHis-thevisibleChurch?It waspreciselytofoundtheChurchthat Godbecamemanatall!Andthere's noneedformetorepeatallthosetexts Iquotedearlierinthesessionto-night.

ExaltedGenerosityofEdmundRice'sContributiontoIrishworkingClass

-PublicRecognitionofWorkofChristianBrothers'Schools

OpenedByDanielO'Connell

Therequestsfornewfoundationsof hisOrderpouredinonBrotherRice, andcausedhimmuchworry,butGod cametohishelpandmanyworthy postulantsenrolledthemselvesunder hisbanner.ApartfromtheapplicationsforfoundationsinIreland,there werepressingappealsfrommany citiesofEnglandandtheColonies.

The"HistoryofWaterford,"bythe Rev.R.H.Ryland,publishedin1824, containedthefollowing:

"IntheschoolsestablishedbyEdmundRice,Esq.,fortheeducationof RomanCatholicboys,wehaveasplendidinstanceofmostexaltedgenerosity.Thisgentlemenhavingacquired anindependentfortunebycommercial pursuitswithdrewhimselffrompublic engagements;and,beingstronglyimpressedwiththenecessityofgiving thelowerordersareligiouseducation, hedevotedhistime,histalents,and hisfortunetoerectandendowschools fortheiruse.Amongadistressedand unemployedpopulation,whosereligiousopinionsmilitateagainstthesystemofeducationofferedthembytheir Protestantbrethren,theseschoolshave beenofincalculablebenefit.They havealreadyimpressedupontheboys acharacterwhichhithertowasunknowntothem.Thenumberofintelligentandrespectabletradesmen, clerksandservantswhichtheyhave sentforthbearthemostunquestionabletestimonytothepublicservices ofEdmundRice.Intheschoolsunder hissuperintendencethereareninehundredboys.Theteachersareyoung menwhofromreligiousmotiveshave devotedthemselvestotheinstruction ofthepoorandwhoactwithoutreward."

CommissionofInquiryIntoPrimary Education.

Inthissameyear11842)aRoyalCommissionofInquiryintothecondition ofPrimaryEducationinIrelandwas appointed.AlltheCommissionersbut onewereProtestants.Theirreport containedareferencetothenewly foundedCongregation:"ThereisanInstitutecalled'BrothersoftheChristianSchools.'Thereareatpresent aboutfortyBrothersunderwhosesuperintendencetherearethreeschoolsin Dublin;oneinWaterford,containing aboutsevenhundredboys;onein Cork,containingathousand;onein Limerick,havingfivehundred;onein CarrickandoneinThurles,withtwo hundredboyseach;oneinDungarvan andoneinEnnistymon.Thesystem ofeducationisprescribedbyMr.Rice andheappointsthepersonsassisting him.Theboysrangeuptoeighteen yearsofage,andthereareafew sailors,stillolder,whostudynavigation.Theboysareingooddiscipline andmasters,seldomhaverecourseto corporalpunishment.ThefirstobjectoftheirSocietyistheinstruction intheRomanCatholicreligion,but theyarenotprohibitedfromgiving secularinstructiontoProtestants,and theyteachcharityandgoodwillto mankindwithoutdistinctionofreligion."

Thereportrousedmuchinterestand manyeducationistscamefromEnglandandelsewheretostudythe uniquesystemthatseemedtosolve theproblemofdenominationalism. Oneofthevisitors,adistinguished Protestantclergyman,putastrange andunexpectedquestiontoapupilof theCorkSchool:'IamaProtestant minister-shallIbedamned?"The boylookedathimwithsurpriseand thenreplied:"Idonotknow;thatis amatterbetweenyourselfandGod."

AtthemeetingoftheCatholicAssociation,followinghisinterviewwith BrotherRice,O'Connellinformedthe membersoftheerectionofthebuildingproposedbyhisfriendtheFounder oftheChristianBrothersinIreland; andproposedthat,astheAssociation hadincontemplationtheestablishing ofaModelandTrainingSchool,it shouldbeinconnectionwithBrother Rice'sSchoolinRichmondStreet.He furthersuggestedthatallshouldjoin withhimintheceremonyoflaying thefirststone."This,"heobserved, "wasmostdesirableandtheoccasion mostopportune,astheproceedings,by beingmadeasimposingaspossible, wouldhavetheeffectofraisingthe spiritoftheCatholiccommunityand ofdemonstratingtotheGovernment andtheunrelentingProtestantascendancythedeterminationthatanimated theirunemancipatedCatholiccitizens."

"Theassertionthatmanisonlyon earthbecauseofhisnationisinfact equivalenttoatheism."

Noneoftheobjectionsraisedagainst immortalitycouldstandseriousexamination.Manypeoplesaidnowadays thatfaithinimmortalitydetracted fromthevalueofthislife,sothatthose whobelievedledalessusefulandfull lifeinthisworld.TheBishoppointed tothelegacieswhichmenwhobased theirlifeexclusivelyonworldlyconsiderationsleftbehindthem,mentioningtheBolshevists,asanexample: "Onlyfoamingriversofblood,prisons filledtotheveryroofs,onlythe throngsofslavesrobbedbyviolence oftheirlibertyandplungedintothe depthsofmiseryandthemorassof moralabasement,onlynationswhich weepwhiletheyaredisgracefullyexploitedandcursetheirmastersasthe scourgesofGod."

Finally,thedoctrineoftheone-ness ofbody,mindandsoulwasbeingpro- claimedatthepresenttime;this,too, couldnotstandexamination,andwas simplymaterialismandgodlessnessin disguise.

"The'herrenmensch'whothuscomes intoexistenceisfundamentallyan animalwhichstandsuprightandis deckedoutinfashionableclothes;a blondebeastandnothingmore."

Therewerepeoplewhocondemned conscienceasadistortedgrowth,and whenfinallytheycouldnolongerstill ittookrefugeinsuicide,whiletheir victimshadtocontinuetohurigerand suffer.ThepoweroftheStateitself couldbecomeabrutaltoolinthe handsofinjustice.Thedoctrinethat everycrimecarrieditspunishment withinitselfwasinadequate,andonly thethoughtofimmortalitysufficedfor justice.

Theimmortalityofthesoulwasanchoredinrevelationandwasatruth ofprofoundconsolation.

"Therefore,Germannation,hold fasttothissacredlegacyfromyour fathers,anddonotallowyourselvesto bedeceivedbypeoplewhosemadness wasalreadydescribedintheancient bookofwisdom.

TheStrangeCaseof FatherOrlemanski

(ContinuedfromPage4,) totheheadsoftheUnitedStatesGovernment.

Inviewofthecriticismofhim,he thoughtthatitwouldbeunwisetoundertakeatriptoWashingtononhis own,andgavethereporterstheimpressionthathewouldprefertobeinviteddowntoWashingtontodiscusspersonallywithPresidentRooseveltor 6ecretaryHullthenatureofthemessageswhichhecarriedbackfromMarshalStalinconcerningbothPolandand theCatholicChurch.

FatherOrlemanskiisallegedtohave disclosedthefactthathehadappealed tohisExcellencyArchbishopCicognani,ApostolicDelegateatWashington,andhadsentthefollowingletter toBishopO'Leary:

"DearBishop: "YouareherebynotifiedthatIam nolongerunderyourjurisdiction,but thejurisdictionoftheApostolicDelegateinWashington,D.C.

"SincerelyyoursinChrist, "Rev.StanislausOrlemanski." CloseofIncident.

ArchbishopCicognani,whenapproachedbythepressatWashington.limited hiscommentstotheremarkthat"like everyotherdiocesanpriest,FatherOrlemanskiisdirectlysubjecttohisBishop."

OnMay15itwasannouncedpublicly-that.bowingtothedisciplinaryordersoftheMostRev.ThomasM. O'Leary,BishopofSpringfield,Father Orlemanskihaddecidedtoleavehis parishandretiretoamonasteryfor anindefiniteperiod.

OnMay16FatherOrlemanskiexpressedregretfortheincidentandapologised,andtheSpringfieldChancery Officeannouncedthathissuspension hadbeenlifted.

"Iregretmyseemingdisregardfor thelegislationanddirectivesofmy Church,andIhastentoapologisefor thelackofrespectforecclesiasticalauthoritywhichcouldbeinferredfrom myaction,"FatherOrlemanski'ssigned statementsaid.

"Itisnowmyfixedpurposeandpro-

misetoceaseandseparatemyselffrom allactivitieswhicharenotinaccordancewiththerulesandmindofthe CatholicChurch.

"Iwishalsoatthistimetomake knownthattheSpringfieldChancery Officenotifiedmethatmymessageto theApostolicDelegate,whichmerely containedtwoquestionsandanswers alreadyprintedinthepressofthe country,wasreceivedattheDelegation,andthatthemessagewillbegivendueconsiderationandreferredby theApostolicDelegatetotheproper Churchauthorities."

Theconsensusofworthwhileopinion inAmericaisthatthemanoeuVreof theSovietGovernmenttowinapproval intheUnitedStatesofitsPolishpolicy Lack-fired.Insteadofpromotinga morefavourableattitude,especially amongcitizensofPolishextraction,it hasdirectedattentiontotheapparent effortsoftheRussianGovernmentto pavethewayforsettingupaPolish regimeinconformitywithitsplansfor establishingaWesternpoliticalfront, and,incidentally,stressedtheimportanceofPolandasthepivotintheline ofbufferStatesbetweenCentralEuropeandRussiaproper.

ItisheldgenerallythatthetwovisitorstoRussiawerepawns-willing pawns-inamuchlargerenterprise,the enlistingofpopularsupportinthe UnitedStatesforRussia'splansfor"an independentPoland."

Thus,forthetimebeingatleast, the"Orlemanskicase"rests.
