Rightthereandnowhereelseiswhere theevilsofdivorceandsocialsuicide andjuveniledelinquency-theevils whicharemakingthehumanraceinhuman-canbeattackedanddestroyed.

HarassedandHeroicWives.

Thewholepointandpurposeofthe familyistotraingoodcitizens-forthe kingdomsofdtheworldandthekingdomofheaven.Itdoesthismost effectivelywhenittrainsitsmembers toworkandplayandpraytogether. Partofitsreasonforbeing-byfar themostimportantpart-islostif theworkingandtheplayingarecooperative,whiletheprayingisindividualandseparate.

Thendoesitnotseempertinentto inquirewhatistheserveininviting thehusbandandfathertospendthree daysoraweekinaretreat-housetakingspiritualinventory,whilehisharassedwife,perhapsabitsullenly,perhapswithheroicandheavenlyresignation,staysathomehagglingwith thebutcher.worryingwiththechildren,andwonderingwhytheman whomarriedherforbetterorworse wouldn'thavepleasedGodasmuchor evermoreifhehadelectedtostayat homesayinghisprayersandhelping withthewashings?

Suchmatterscanbestbeillustratedbyturningthemupsidedown.Supposethatthehusbandsoftheparish weretostrugglehomesomeevening. lateasusual,tofindtheladiesof theirhousesgone,thechildrenunwashedandunfed,andcurtnoteson thekitchentablestotheeffectthat thewiveshavedepartedtothinkand pray,andthefatherscanjollywell shiftforthemselvesuntilfurthernotice.AcrosstheenlsuingscenesI drawamercifulcurtain.

Butafterall,what'ssauceforthe goose;andIhaveoftenruminated alongtheselineswhenIobservedthat evenintheparishchurches,which oughttobethedefendersandcemmtersofthefamily,thefatheriscoaxed togototheeighto'clockMasswith theHolyName,themothertothe TenwiththeAltarSociety,andthe childrentotheNine,wheretheymay besupervisedbythesisters.Thus thefamily'sspirituallifeischopped

topieces.Theycan'tevencome homeandreviewthesermon;because theyhavenotheardthesameone.

Itseemstomethatallthissortof thingtendstolessentheauthority andresponsibilityofparents,andto transfertheobedienceandspiritual loyaltyofthechildrenfromleather andMothertoSisterwithacapitalS. Iamnotspeakingcriticallyorcarpingly.Thereishardlyanydanger thatCatholicparentswilleverforget whattheyowetothesisterhoods. NeitherdoIforgetthatthereareparentssocarelessthatsomebodymust tosomeextenttaketheirplace.

Butreplacingtheparentswillnot restorethemtoasenseoftheirduty, norre-establishthemintherespectof theirchildren.Manyaresponsible parentcantestifythattheformula "Sistersays"seemstotakeoninthe mindoftheparishschool-childthe awfulauthorityandinfallibilityofall theTenCommandmentsrolledinto one.Fathermayremarkthathe wouldlikethechildrentogotoMass withhimandMother;butthechildrenreply"Sistersays"theyareto gototheNine(wherethereisnot roomfortheparents)andthatisthat.

NowwhatIamconcernedtoemphasiseisthattoseparatetheCatholicfamilyatMassistoweaken,notto strengthen,thedutifulnessandpres. tigeofparentsandthestabilityofthe home.Whatoughttobethecommonestsightinthechurch-thatof father,motherandchildrenkneeling togetherattheCommunionrails-has actuallybecometherarest.And whenfamiliesdonotreceiveCommuniontogether,itishardlymatterfor wonderthattheinstitutionofthefamilyisshakingonitsfoundations;or rather,totteringbecauseitschief foundationhasbeenwithdrawn.

AlmostCatholic,ShentonPark:

Yousayattheconclusionofyour letterthatifyouwereconvincedof theinfallibilityoftheChurch's'answer toyourproblems,youwouldbeCatholicforlife.Tosaythatistoputa veryheavypremiunonasatisfactory answertoyourquestions-Ihopethat youarenotsayingit lightheartedly.

Q.:Ihappenedtolisteninto-nightto theCatholicPropagandistSession, withextremeinteresttoyourapologeticsonbehalfoftheso-called "VicarsofChristonearth,"whoyou admitlivedscandalouslivesofimmoralityanddebauchery.

A.:Itwouldbemorecorrecttosay thattheapologeticswereonbehalf, notofthoseparticularPopes,butof thePapacyasaninstitution.

Q.:Youstatedthatitwasamazing thatonlysomesixcotoftwohundredoddPopeshadlivedlivesunworthyoftheirposition.whereas oneofthetwelveoftheApostles wasafailure,Wasn'titagoodjob thatJudashadn'tthefallacyto temperwiththeelectionballotfor headoftheCatholicChurch,asdid (soyousaid,Alexander).Hadhe doneso,andthenbetrayedOur Lord,Isupposeyouwould+have apologisedforhisactionbysaying thathisprivatelifewasnottobe "Impeccable,"andOurLord'sbetrayalwasnotanofficialactofthe Pope,andthereforewouldhaveno bearingonhisinfallibility.

A.:Correct.Inthecircumstances whichyousomewhatirreverentlypicture,IwouldsaythatJudas'greatsin ofbetrayalwouldnotaffecthisinfallibilityashearloftheChurch-onlyI wouldn'tapologiseforhisaction,any morethantheChurchapologisesfor th,unworthylifeofAlexanderVI. Afterall,JudaswasanApostlechosen byChrist,andevenafterhehadconceivedhisnefariouspurposeofbetrayinghisMaster.evenafterhehad conspiredwiththeHighPriests.he treatedbyChristas'anApostle. Furthermore,Peter,whowaschosen byChristasfirstHeadoftheChurch, publiclydeniedChrist.Thatdidnot alterhisposition.

Q.:Ifyouareconsistent,surelyyou mustagreethatifyoushouldlead thesamedebauchedandimmoral privatelifeasthePopeyoumentioned,thiswouldhavenobearing inyouradministeringtheSacramentsandexercisingyourpriestly functions,exceptthatitappears scandaloustothosewhoarenot abletoregardtheCatholicChurch asinfallible.

A.:Churchdisciplinewouldsoonattendtomeifmymodeoflifegave scandal.Nevertheless,evenifmy privatelifeweredebauchedandimmoral,theSacramentsIadministered wouldstillbevalid,andmypriestly functionswouldstillhavetheirown value.Itisnotcorrecttosaythat theonlyresultwouldbescandalto thosewhoarenotabletoregardthe CatholicChurchasinfallible.It wouldheascandalalso,andamuch greaterscandal,toCatholics,butsince

theybelieveintheChurch,theywould beabletodistinguishbetweentheunworthinessoftheministerandthe valueofhisministrations.

Q.:Isitanywonderthatthisscandalousbeliefleavesitselfwideopen foractsofscandal,whetherby Popeorpriest?

A.:TheChurch,asyouknow,does notcondonescandalousbehaviourby herpriests.ButChristtellsusthat scandalsmustcome.Younamethis ascandalousbelief.Itwouldbea scandalousbeliefifitdidcondone scandalousbehaviour,Moreover,the interpretationyouhavegivenit,asI haveshown,isnotalegitimateinterpretation.TheChurchdoesn't, andCatholicsdonotbelievethatit doesnotmatterhowapriestlivesas longasheperformshisnecessary priestlyfunctions.Thatwouldbea scandalousbelief.

Q.:ApparentlyinfallibilityonlybecomesanattributeofthePopeafter hiselection.

A.:Naturally.

Q.:Themeansbywhichheiselected isapparentlynotsubjecttoinfallibility,andbetweenthedeathof onePopeandtheelectionofanother,theChurchhasnoinfallible guidanceandcertainlycanerr.

A.:Notsofast.Imustnowgive youabriefbut,Ihope,clearoutline oftheCatholicdoctrineofinfallibility.

1.ChristfoundedateachingbodyontheApostles,withSt.Peterattheir head.Heimposedonallmenthe obligationofacceptinghisdoctrineas arequisitetoeternalsalvation.This implinitlymeansthiatIliateaching bodyisinfallible,sinceifamanis boundtobelieve,hemusthaveanabsolutelycertainguaranteeforthedoctrineheiscalledupontobelieve.And indeedChristgavethisguaranteeby promisingtobewithHisteaching bodyalways.

2.Thatbeingso,whereinthe Churchisthisinfallibilitytobefound?

Naturallyinthesuccessorsofthe Apostles,theBishopsoftheChurch, withthePope,successorofSt.Peter, attheirhead.Forinstance,when theBishopsassembleinaGeneral Council,undertheauthorityofthe Pope,wehavetheinfalliblevoiceof theChurch.

Then,inthePopeasHeadofthe Church,andbecauseofthepromises madebyChristtoSt.Peterindividually,sothatwhenthePopespeaks "exCathedra,"wehavealsotheinfalliblevoiceoftheChurch.

3.Nowastothesubjectmatterof infallibility,astowhatcomeswithin itsscope.

E.Davies,Hollywood:

Q.:Ihavebeenlisteningtoyoursessionsforsometime,andamwon deringtheobjectofthem,seeing thatinoneofyourearlysessions, youadmittedtheBiblewastheinspiredwordofGodandwasthe onlyreliablehistoryofthehuman race.

A.:Wenotmerelyadmit,weclaim thattheBibleistheinspiredWord ofGod;alsothatitisareliablehistoryofthehumanrace.In'some things,felltheperioditcovers,itis theonlyhistory.Iwouldnotgoso farastosaythatitistheonlyreliablehistory.Imightremark,however,thatinmanyinstances,inwhich thecorrectnessoftheScripturalaccountwascalledinquestion,morerecentscientificinvestigationshave provedthataccountcorrect.The waythatthishasoccurredsomany timesisstriking.

Q.:Why,then,doyounotinevery instancegiveyouranswerfromthat Book?

A.:BecausetheCatholicChurchre cognisestwochannelsofDivineRe. velation,viz.,HolyScriptureandTradition.

Afterall,ChristcommandedHis ApostlestopreachHisGospel:"Going therefore,teachyeallnations teachingthemtoobserveallthing, whatsoeverIhavecommandedvoi." (Matt.XXVIII.,19-20) Wedonot findanywherethatHecommanded themtowriteit.Thousandsofthe earlyChristiansmusthavebeensaved withouttheBible.Atmosttheyhad readtothemsuchportionsofthe Scripturesaswerekeptinmanuscript intheirownChurch;i.e..atJerusalem,atEphesus,andsoon.Christ institutedateachingbodyandpromiseditinfallibility:"BeholdIam withyoualldays,eventotheconsummationoftheworld,"(Matt. XVIII.,20.)

Q.:DoyouputtheOatholitAnswer abovetheHolyBible?

A.:Certainlynot.Wequotefrom bothScriptureandTradition.They arenotcontradictory,butsupplement. arytooneanother.

Q.:Ifso,howdoyoufitintheScripturesinRev.XXII.,19,andProverbsXXX,51;wheretheLord warnsaboutaddingandtaking from?

A.:Ishallquotethesetextsinyour ownversion.

1.Rev.XXII.,19:"Andifanyman shalltakeawayfromthewordsof thebookofthisprophecy,Godshall takeawayhispartoutoftheBook ofLife,andoutoftheHolyCity.and fromthethingsthatarewrittenin thisbook."

ontheReferendum

2,ProverbsXXX.,5.6:"Everyword ofGodispure:heisashieldunto themthatputtheirtrustinHim. Addnotuntohiswords,lesthereprovethee,andthoubefoundaliar."

Neitherofthesetextsgivesweight toyourobjection.Inthefirstplace theCatholicChurchdoesnotinter. ferewiththewordsofHolyScripture; neitheraddsnortakesaway.

Inthesecondplace,Traditionalso istheWordofGod,becauseitssource isDivineRevelation.YourobjectionwouldbevalidonlyiftheCatho. lisChurchclaimedtherighttoadd tothe''depositoffaith"handed downfromtheApostolicage.

Listener,Manjimup:

Q.:Couldyoupleasetellmeabout thelivesofSaintFrancisofAssisi andSaintAnthonyofPadua?

A.:St.FrancisofAssisi:Francis wasbornatAssisi,inUmbria,in11812.Hisfatherwasamerchant,and Francis,inhisearlymanhood,assistedinhisfather'sbusiness,Inspired bytheidealofChristiancharity,he renouncedhishereditaryrightsanddevotedhimselftoalifeofpovertyand penance.Subsequently,havingbeen joinedbyanumberofothers,whohad beenattractedbyhisexample,he foundedtheOrderofFriarsMinor,or Franciscans.Themembersofthis OrderdedicatedthemselvestopreachingtheGospel.especiallyamongthe poor.Thedistinguishingtraitsof Francis'characterweredeephumility andsimplicityoflife,andaloveof poverty,whichwonforhimthename of"IlPoverello,""TheLittlePoor Man."Inallcreation,inanimals, birds,flowers,andsoon,hesawthe handofGod.Heisprobablythe bestknownofthosewhoreceived theStigmata,theimpressionofthe woundsofChrist.Francisdiedin 1226.

St.AnthonyofPaduawasbornin Portugalin1495.HebecameamemberoftheFranciscanOrderand, havingbeenordainedapriest,won greatrenownasapreacher,especially incombatingheresy.Hisofficeof preachingtookhimfarandwide,but hislastdayswerespentinPadua, whencehistitle.

Anthonyisremembered-principally byhisfameasapreacherandasa miracleworker.Duringthelastyears ofhislifeatPaduahissermons,which weredirectlymostlyagainsthatred andenmity,wereattendedbyhuge crowds;andthroughhisinfluence manyevils,typicalofthesocialcorruptionofhisday,wereredressed.He diedinPaduain1231.

Q.:Afriendrecentlytoldmethatit waswrongtohavestatuesinthe church,thereasongivenwasthe followingquotationfromtheBible: "Thoushaltnotmakeuntotheeany gravenimage,orthelikenessofany thingthatisinheavenaboveor thatisontheearthbeneath,or thati..inthewaterundertheearth. Thoushaltnotbowdownthyselfto them,norservethem."(Exodus 4-5.)

A,:Theforteofthisprohibitionis directedagainsttheworshipofgraven imagesasgods,againstgivingthem divinehonour."Thoushaltnotbow downthyselftothem,norservethem." otherwisewewouldbeforbiddento makestatuesorimagesofanysort,for anypurpose.Catholicsdonotworshipthestatuesintheirchurches;the statuesareplacedthereinhonourof thepersonstheyrepresent,andto helpthedevotionofthepeople.Very oftenthosewhoobjecttotheuseof statuesandimagesrecogniseinother thingstheprinciplestheycondemn inthis.Iftheyburnamanineffigy theyscarcelymeantodishonourthat image!

How,then,doesitmeasureupto thestatementsofDr.Mannix,who statedthatshouldtheReferendum belost,itwouldnotbethroughthe faultofhimself,theBishops,orthe CatholicChurch.

Q.:Also,:lowdoesthatstatementre. conchsitselftoyouremphatic4:1,nialthattheR.C.Churchtakespart Inpolitics?

Nowtheimportanceofthispoint cannotbeover-emphasised.Whatis mainlywrongwithAmericanmothers, whatkeepsthemonpinsandneedles, whatisweakeningorwreckingtheir nervesandtheirhealth,bothmental andphysical,isthattheygetnorest.
