OrdoestheChurch teachthateveninHelltheseverity ofthepunishmentisgovernedby themagnitudeoftheunrepented sins?

A.:TheChurchteachesthattheseverityofthepunishmentsofHellis governedbythemdfhitude,asyou callit,oftheunrepentedsins.Itis definedbytheChurchthatthepunishmentsofHellareunequal.Andthis teachingissupportedbyseveralpassagesinScripture,ofwhichMatt.,1627,isanexample,whereitsaysthat theSonofManwillcomeinHis gloryandrenderuntoeachaccording tohisworks.Itwasalsoheldbythe FathersoftheChurch,St.Aphraates, St.Ephraem,St.Basil,St.Augustine, St.GregorytheMartyr,allteachitex plicitlyintheirwritings.Itwas taughtalsobySt.ThomasAquinas.

ButIthinkyouareconcernedmore particularlywithoneaspectofthis problem,becauseyoustressthepoint ofsufferinginachildnotoftheage ofreason.Whyshouldtheinnocent suffer?Whyshouldachildsuffer whocannotbenefitfromsuffering?

Q.:Further,yourremarksonthesubsectofcrueltiesperpetratedless than100yearsago,werebesidethe point,astheywerenotdoneinthe nameofreligionasopposedtothe SpanishInquisition.

A.:Ihavereadthescriptofthesessionwhichyouquote,andImustinsistthattheremarksaboutcruelty werenotbesidethepoint.

Thepointwasinreferencetothe chargeofexcessivecruelty-levelled againsttheInquisition.Itwaspreciselyintendedtoshowthattheywere notexcessiveifviewedinrelationto .thescaleofpunishmentsandthetype ofpunishmentinflictedbyothercourts bothatthattimeandevenmuch lateron.

Whetherornotit'wasrighttoinflictanypunishmentinthenameofreligionisanothermatter.Thatpoint wasnotsofinethatyoushouldhave missedit.

Ipresumethatyoudonotmeanby yourremarksthattheSpanishInquisitionwaswhollyevil,foritwas not,.Itdidagreatdealofgood.I presumeratherthatyoumeanthatthe excessesoftheInquisitionwereperpetratedinthenameofreligion.In otherwords,becausethewolfdressed himselfupinsheep'sclothing,the sheeparealltoblamefortheravages. Thisisacuriouswayoflookingat things,and,ifImaysayso.rather superficial.

MuchhasbeenwrittenontheSpanishInquisitionbyunscrupuloushistorians,'whosepurposeinwritingwas tocastdiscreditontheCatholic Church;andforatimetheseaccounts wereallowedtogounchallenged,so thatevenCatholicsbegantothink thatthelesssaidaboutitthebetter. Averydifferentattitudeissucceeding theseideas.Catholichistoriansare investigatingthis,thing,thatwassupposedtobetheghastlyskeletonin ourcupboard,andtheyareexposing, forwhatitisworth,muchthatpassed ashistory.Ireferyoutosuchbooks as,"TheInquisition,"byMaycock: "IsabellaofSpain,"byWalsh:"HistoryofSpain,"byBertrandandPetrie:andPastor's"Historyofthe Popes."

TheChurchhastherightandthe dutytopreserveunadulteratedthe truthsentrustedtotheApostleswhen Christsentthemtomakedisciplesof allnationsandtoteachallnations whatsoeverthingsHehadcommanded them(seeMatt.28,19-20).The Churchalwayshadthatright,andit retainsitto-day,asmuchaseverit did,anditstillfulfillsitsdutyinthis respectwhereverthereisaCatholic Bishop.Thisnecessaryworkisdone onthesameprincipleas

wouldpassa"PureFoodsAct,"and imposepenaltiesforbreachesofthis law.Therewouldbethisdifference, however,thattheChurch'spenalties wouldbespiritualonesonly.

Now,inthedayswhenChristianity wassynonymouswithCatholicismand Christianitywastheofficialreligionof nations,theStateregardedoffences againsttheofficialreligionasoffences againstthecivillawandestablished order.Consequently,theStatealso claimedtherighttopunishheretics, andonprinciplethatrightwasrecognisedbytheChurch.

Andinthosedayscivilpunishments wereverysevere.Norwasthatseverityrelaxedformanycenturiesafter. Seventyyearsagoayoungservant girlwastransportedforlifetoTasmaniaforscorchinglinenwhilstironing.

We,atleast,shouldbethelastto condemnthecivilpenaltiesofthe 16th.centuryfortheirseverity.

Now,inadditiontothisattitudeof theStatewhichregardedoffences againstreligionasoffencesagainstthe StateandpunishedthemwiththeaccustomedSeevrityofthetimes,there werespecialproblemsinSpain.'The JewsandtheMoorswhoformeda largepartofthecommunitywere adoptingChristianityfrommotivesof expediencyandwereaverydisruptiveandunrulyelement.Theyalso usedtheirorthodoxyasacloakfor politicalintrigues,andonthewhole theyformedthegreateststumbling blocktoFerdinandandIsabellain theirpolicyofunitingSpain.ConsequentlytheSpanishInquisitionwas setup,withtheapprovalofthe Church,anditwasasnecessaryfor SpainatthattimeastheCriminalInvestigationBranchisnecessaryforour ownpoliceforceto-day.

Casesweretriedandthosewhopersistedintheirdisruptivedoctrines wereallowedtopassintothehandsof thecivilauthorities,andwerepunishedinthemannerofthosetimes.They werenomoreseverethantheoutrageousburningsofso-calledwitchesin Protestantcountriesofalaterdate. Nevertheless,thePopeprotested stronglyagainsttheseverityofthe Spanishauthorities.

CardinalXimenesexpostulatedwith Ferdinandandwastoldbythismonarch,"Ifthiscouncil(i.e,theInquisition)hasanyjurisdiction,itisonly owingtotheKing."PopesSixtusIV. andInnocentVIII.protestedagainst whattheyconsideredtheexcessesof theInquisition,andPopeLeoX.actuallyexcommunicatedtheInquisitors ofToledo.

Andthatistheextenttowhichthe ChurchcanheblamedfortheSpanish Inquisition.ItwasaninstitutionintendedtothetruthoftheChurch's doctrinesinadifficultanddesperate period:thepunishmentsinflictedby theStateforwhatitregardedasoffencesagainstitselfwereinkeeping withtheseverityofthetimes:and theabusesofthisinstitutionwerecommittedindefianceoftheChurch'srepeatedprotestsandinstructions.

Oneexampleofthismould-behisIan'sworkisenough.Fromhim emanatedthestorythatTorquemada puttodeathover8,000victimsduring histermofofficeontheInquisition. Nowrecordsrevealthatonepercent. ofthosebroughtbeforeTorquemada wereputtodeath.Andthatsurely isaverylowpercentagewhencomparedwiththepersecutionsofCatholicsbyElizabethandCromwell,continuedonforovertwocenturieswhen itwasacrimetobeaCatholicin Englandandtorefuseforconscience saketoconformtotheStateestablishedreligion.PossiblyTorquemada shouldhavebeencommendedforhis leniency,whereashehasbeenvillified forcenturies-thankstoLlorente.

Inthefirsttwoquestionsofyour letteryouraisepointswhichIcannot dealwithindetailinthissession.I mustcontentmyselfwithsayingthat theanswerisintheaffirmative,It isnotaquestionoftheChurchabsolutelyforbidding,asifitwerethe Church'sownprecept:itisaquestion oftheChurchinsistingonwhatShe holdstobeGod'slaw.Information tothecontrarygivenyouwasincorrect.Ifyoucaretosendyourfull nameandaddressIshallbepleasedto sendyouafullpersonalreply.

"AbsurdIdeaofUnlimitedSovereignty"

13 JOHNLaFARGE,S.J.,in "America.

TherearetwoentirelydifferentpositionswhichthepresentPopecould havetakenonthewar.Hecoul, havesaidtohimself:Warisane.sil andprofanething.TheHolydews missionisspiritual;modernstatesignoreitsauthorityandareincreasingly self-sufficient.Therewillbenopeace untiltheworldisconvertedtoJesus hrist.13uttheworld,ingreatmeasure,hasrepudiatedtheSaviour. HencelettheChurchwithdrawand abstain'fromeveryphaseofthisconflict,andcontentitselfwithsalvagingmen'ssoulsamidthereignofevil, andleavethehopeofjusticetothe LastJudgment,thehopeofpeaceuntil theworldtocome.

Orhecouldsaythat,becausethe Churchisendowedwithasublimereligiousmission,shecannotremaina strangertotheconflict.ThePopeis mostfaithfulto.theChurch'soriginal mandatetorendertoGodthosethings thatareGod's,torendertoCaesar whatisCaesar's,whenheispresentto thewar.Thepolicyofpresence,not ofwithdrawalandabsence,shallhe thepolicyoftheHolySee.

PopePiusXII,saysProfessorGuido Gonellainhisrecentbook,"AWorld toReconstruct."chosethelatteralternative.Hemadeknownhischoiceina seriesofgreatutterances,from1939to 1943,ontheconditionsofajustpeace andapost-warorder,whichhavepassedintotheworld'shistory.Butthe Pope'spresence-inamoralsense-to theconflictwillmeanlittlepractical unlesstheFaithfulthroughoutthe worldarethemselvespresenttoits moralproblems;forthePopespoketo justthatpurpose.

InordertoaidCatholicstoexercise thatpolicyofpresence-asopposedto absenceandaloofness--ProfessorGonella,aneditorofthesemi-officialVaticanorgan,"OsservatoreRomano," wrotetheseriesofprofoundandthoroughlypreparedstudiesofthePapal peaceideas,whichthisbookcontains. Rev.T.LincolnBouscaren,S.J.,professorofCanonLawinWestBadenCollege,hastranslatedfromtheItalian. Andthesameidea,thatofaidingnot onlyCatholics.butallpersonswho willrespectandappreciatethegreat moralprinciplestowhichthePope appeals,inspiredtheCommitteeonthe Pope'sPeacePlanoftheAmerican Bishopstohavethistranslationappearundertheirspecialauspices.They areanxiousthatitshallreceivethe widestpossiblecirculationandattention.

Thisisnocasualproduction;though personal,itisnotjustaprivatework. Theauthor'schaptersonthiswhole seriesoftremendouslyimportantand controversialsubjectsappearedweek afterweekundertheeyesoftheHoly Fatherandwithhisapproval,andin collaborationwithVaticanexperts. Dr.Gonellamakesnoexplicitclaimsof authority.Buthespeakswithsuch certitudeanddefinitenessastotheessenceofthePapalprogrammethatit leavesnodoubt,fromthataspect alone,ofthegreatweightofhisinterpretation.

"AWorldtoReconstruct"isno merescholarlycollectionofprinciples andinformation.Itisdominatedby groupofpowerful,far-reachingideas. Theseideasarepresentednotsimply asspeculations,butasasternmoral imperative.Sincethismoralimperativepiercestotheheartofcertain majordecisionsardentlydebatedit) Congressandminutelydiscussedin

platformcommitteesofthemajor politicalparties,wecaninnomanner be"present-totheworlddramagoing onaroundus,unlessweourselvesare fulls-awareotthemoralissuesinquestion.

ThePapalPeacePlan,asinterpreted byDr.Gonella,proposesasthebasis forafuturepeacea"federatedsociety" offreeandindependentpeoples.He explainsthisasathoroughlyChristian idea:notassomethingdirectly"set up"byChristianity,asitwouldsetup areligiousorganisation,butasanindirectcreation:astheinevitablelogicalconsequenceofthepenetrationof thetemporalorderbythelife-giving tenetsofChristianity.

Suchabroadproposal,however, meanslittleornothingunless,weknow moreindetailjustwhattheauthor hasinmind.Heisguidedbycertain leadingthoughts,expressedwithgreat clearness,insistenceandaconfidence thattheycanbefullydocumentedand authenticatedfromtheteachingsof theChurchandtheutterancesofthe HolySee.

SocietyofFreePeoples.

Firstof-all,suchaninternationalsocietyistobemadeupoffreepeoples.

InthefirstpointoftheChristmasmessageof1939,theHolyFatherdeclared thatafundamentalrequisitefora justandhonourable toeverynation,largeorsmall,powerfulorweak,itsrighttolifeandindependence."In1941,thePopeadded thattheremustbe"noroomforthe violationofthefreedom,integrityand securityofotherstates."

America'sforeignpolicy,therefore, mustnecessarilybeguidedbythisconsideration,since,saysGonella: Theforeignpolicywhichregards theparticularinterestsofapeople asitsuniqueobjective,invariablyends bydenyingallreciprbcityofrights anddutiesamongnations:thatis. itcicniesallsoundinternationalcooperationfortheattainmentofthe commongoodofstates.

Inequalitiesofright.saysGonella, areoffsetbyequalitiesofright."in theinternational,asinthedomestic community,whereallracesandclasses haveequalrights. And"material forcecannever(exceptinthecaseof defence)heusedasaninstrumentof foreignpolicy,"inaproperlyorganised internationalcommunity.

Thisisparticularlyseeninthefield ofeconomicco-operation.Nonation hastherighttoexploitanotherorto establishoveritapoliticalhegemony,merelybecauseofitseconomic dependence.

Severeblame,likewise,istobelaid uponthe"calculatingegoism"shown ininternationaltrade.

AnInternationalInstitution,

ThesocietywhichthePopehasin mindisnotamereassociationofcompletelyindependentunits,bound merelybyagreementsorcontracts, butalivingandclose-knitinstitution.

ItisbaseduporAtheorganicconcept oftheinternationalcommunity,an Ideatowhichitheauthorconstantly recurs.Thesocietyofnationsisnot justagroupingforcertainpurposes: itisabody,ofwhichthevariousnationsformparts.Thatwhichunites thepartsisthesearchforthecommongoodoftheworldsociety;and eachnation,thoughitremainsbasicallyfreeandindependent,isobliged,as adutyofinternationalmorality,to subordinateitsownparticulargoodto thatcommongoodofallpeoples.

SovereigntyLimited.

Thismeans,fromthenatureofthe case,aclearandunequivocallimitationofnationalsovereignty.

TheState,saystheauthor,isamediatorbetweentheindividualandhumanity(asthefamilyisanintermediarybetweentheindividualand theState)andasasinglecountry "cannotliveinisolation."

Hemptheexistenceofaninstitutionwhich canbeatoncethe centrefromwhichemanatejuridical formsandthecentreforthecoordinationandlimitationofthewill ofstates;ahighersourceofobligationsandanorganforthecontrolof thearbitrarywillofnations.

Thefollowingparagraphsshowthe author'sthoughts:

Theinternationalinstitutionwill permittheStatetocomeoutofits isolation;itwillmodifytheabsurd ideaofunlimitedsovereignty:itwill makeofeverynationasubjectin associationwithothersubjectsin theCommunityofnations.

Inorderthatinternationalsociety arriveatthismaturity,itisnecessary thatthenaturallawofnationsbegivenrecognitionandeffect inpositivelaw.

Respectforthepersonalityofthe variousnationsdemandsthatthe lifeoftheinternationalinstitution expressitselfinformsofco-operation.Hencethewillwhichgovernsinternational,relationscannot beahegemonicwill(thatis,the willofthestrongest),northewill ofagroupwhichisinquystofparticularinterests,butitmustbea socialwill,thatis,thewillofthe institutionalorganismitself.

"Astatemay,"saysGonella,"andat timesshould,sacrificeitsowninterest forthegoodoftheCommunityof States."

DisarmamentandCoercion.

Theauthorappliesthisprincipleunhesitatinglybylimitingtherightto maintainarmamentsandtomakewar. Furthermore.comingtoanothervital point:

Onaninstitutionalbasisthenorm ofinternationalobligationwillreinforceitsauthorityandwillalsoacquirethatcoercivecharacterwhich itnowcompletelylacks.

Cansuchaninstitution,imposin5 suchsacrifices,usingsuchforce,beachieved?Isolationism,saystheauthor,isstrong: Formanyandcomplexreasons,al! desireforortendencytowardaninternationalorganisationalonglines ofsolidarity,islanguidandinoperat ive.Therootcausesaredeafness onthepartofthenationstothecall ofthemoralconscience,andamistakenviewoftheirownparticular interests.

Pastattemptsinthislineshouldbe studied,eventhoughseriousmistakes weremade."Insteadofindulgingin abstractanduselessspeculationsasto whatmighthavebeen itseems moremodestandusefultodowhatwe cantopreventthefruitsofexperience frombeinglost."

GalltoAction.

Sothereisnoroomatthisjuncture for.any"easypessimism,"whetheras tothepreventionofwarorthe trrganisationofpeace."Allarecalled" tothis"slowanddifficultbutconstructiveworkofelevatingthemoralconscienceofindividualsandnations." Theseven-pointPatternForPeace,issuedinthiscountry.laaautumn,likewisechallengedthe'moralconscience ofAmericanstoconstructandpatticipateinajuridicallyorganic,effectively coerciveinternationalinstitution.Dr. Gonellarepeatsthischallenge.His hookisstrongmedicine,muchstrongermedicinethanmostpeopleinthis countryandmostofourpoliticians arepreparedtoswallow.Butthe graceofGod,andthewideenlightenmentthistranslationisdestinedto produce,shouldgiveusstrengthto ruleoutvainexcuses,piousorprofane,andtoacceptthenecessaryinstrumentforpreventingarecurrence ofthoseconditionswhichwouldpermit,inPopePiusXII'swords:"The calamityofaworldwar toenvelop thehumanraceforathirdtime."

RebirthofFrance

TherecentnewsthatPariswasfreed ofGermanoccupationandthatmore andmoreFrenchterritorywasbeing liberated,wasreceivedwithjubilation acrosstheworld.

Catholics,rememberingthatFrance, althoughasanationshehasattimes sinnedbadly,remainsthe"Eldest DaughteroftheChurch."wereparticularlygrateful.

HolyFatherRebukes"CatholicCommunists"

VainAttempttoUniteChurch'sDogma&HistoricalMaterialism

EminentTheologianCondemns ReactionarySocialOutlook

Socialism-aFalseIdeal' ThatLeadstoTyranny

Receivingmembersofthe"Circolo SanPietro,"PopePiusexhortedthem toremainfaithfultotheChurchand deploredthatcertainofhischildren, callingthemselvesCatholics,believe theycanreconcilethedoctrineofthe ChurchwithconceptsthataretheantithesisofChristianity.

ThisallusionbytheHolyFather wasinterpretedasbeingdirected againstso-calledCatholicCommunists. Thosewhopersistinfollowingthe doctrineof"CatholicCommunism"jeopardisetheirCatholicism,theRev. MarianoCordovani.0.P.,warnsinan articletitled"CatholicCommunism," inarecentissueof"OsservatoreRomano,"whichhasattractedwideattentionbecauseoftheeminenceofits author.FatherCordovaniisMaster oftheApostolicPalaces,officialtheologiantotheCardinalSecretaryof State,andaConsultorof.theSacred CongregationoftheHolyOfficeand otherCongregationsoftheSacredCollegeofCardinals.

"Catholicdogma,"saysFatherCordovani,"hasitsmoralprinciples,and thesocialpractice.ofhistoricalmaterialistshasitsideology.Wishingto uniteCatholicdogmaandthishistoricalmaterialism,theseyoungmenrelegateCatholicdogmatothegarret whilethepoliticstheyembracepushes them,againstthewill.towardthat ideology.

"Ithinkthat,iftheydonotcorrect theirposition,theywillinevitablyjeopardisetheirCatholicism."

"Someyoungmen,"FatherCordo'vanicontinued,"wholovethemost audaciousideashaveunitedinasocial 'movementwhichiscalled`Catholic Communism.'Theyintendtoremain Catholicsandtheyrejectthedialectic materialismofCommunism,whichis openlyanti-Christian,buttheyaccept thehistoricalmaterialism,sincethey considerpoliticsmerelyagame."

Theveryaspirationsof"Catholic Communists,"thewritersays,show howmuchtheyareincontrastwith

DuringtheentirehistoryofChristianity,thearticlesays,thecoupling ofcontrastingtermshasbeenrecurrentand,apparently,theEncyclicals "AtheisticCommunism"and"QuadragesimoAnno"havenotsufficedfor peoplewhoto-daycouplethesecontrastingterms.

Theauthorcitesthecondemnation of"TerreNouvelle,"anorganof"RevolutionaryChristians,"in1936,which warnedthefaithfulthattheyshould bewareofpubicationsinsidiouslypropagatingthecollaborationofCatholics with ofCommunism,especiallywhenthisisdoneunderthepretext offriendlyco-operation.
