WHOFOLLOWEDCHRISTANDBECAMEASAINT,

OnNovember30,wecelebratethe FeastofSt.Andrew,ApostleandPatronSaintofScotlandandofRussia.

Wedonotknowagreatdealabout anyofthetwelveapostles,themen whomJesuscalledspeciallytofollow Him,tobeHisintimatefriendswhile Hewashereonearth,andthefoundationmembersoftheChurchwhichwas tocarryontheworkofsalvationafter Hewasgone.Butwedoknowthat Andrewwasthefirsttobecalled,and thathealwaysheldanhonouredplace amongthosewhowereclosesttoJesus.

OnedayAndrewwaslisteningtothe preachingofJohntheBaptist.Andrewhadforalongtimebeendissatisfiedwiththeformalreligionofthe Jewishpriests,andhefeltstronglyattractedtowardstheextraordinary preachingofthehermitofJordanwho criedaloudforrepentanceandwh' baptisedhisconvertsintoanewand deeperformoflife.WhileAndrew waslisteningJesuswalkedby,and John,whohadbaptisedJesusonthe previousday,criedout:"Beholdthe LambofGod!"

Andrewimmediatelyfelttheurgeto followJesus,andheandanotherdiscipleoftheBaptistwentafterHim. JesussawthemwiththeeyesofHis spiritbeforehebeheldthemwithHis corporaleves,andturningHeasked: "Whatseekye?"Theysaidthey wantedtoknowwhereHedwelt,and Hebadethemcomeandsee.The, ,,tenttwohourswithHim,andAndrewclearlylearnedthatJesuswas theMessias,andresolvedfromthat momenttofollowHim;hewasthus thefirstofHisdisciples.Hethen fetchedhisbrother,thathemightalso knowHim,andSimonwasnosooner cometoJesusthantheSaviouradmittedhimalsoasadisciple,andgave himthenameofPeter,

FromthistimeAndrewandPeter werethefollowersofChrist,notconstantlyattending astheyafterwardsdid,buthearingHimasfrequentlyastheirbusinesswouldpermit, andreturningtotheirtradeandfamilyagain.Theywerefishermen.and theyhadaspartnersJamesandJohn, thesonsofZebedee.

ThencamethedaywhenJesuscalledthemdefinitely.Letushearthe storyinthebeautifulwordsoftheGosPel:

"AndJesus,walkingbytheseaof Galilee,sawtwobrethren,Simonwho iscalledPeter,andAndrew,hisbro-

ther,castinganetintothesea(for theywerefishers).

Andhesaidtothem:"Comeyeafter Me,andwillspakeyoutobefishers ofmen.

Andtheyimmediately,leavingtheir nets,followedHim.

Andgoingonfromthence,Hesaw othertwobrethren,James,thesonof Zebedee,andJohn,hisbrother,ina chipwithZebedee,theirfather,mendingtheirnets:andhecalledthem.

Andtheyforthwithlefttheirnets, andfather,andfollowedHim."(Matt. 18-22.)

Whatstrikesonemostaboutthis simplenarrativeisthatwhenJesus called,thefishermenobeyedinstantly.Fromthatdaytheyneverleft Him,

CANJEWSBESAVED?

Q.:CanJewsenterintoheavenif theydonotbelieveinJesusChrist theSonofGod?

A.Jewswhoingoodfaithdonot believethatJesusistheNiessiasand SonofGod,canbesavediftheykeep thelawofGod,repentoftheirsins, anddieinthestateofgrace.

Whe;theyareingoodfaithand aresincerelyignorantofthetruecharacterofChristandtheclaimsofthe CatholicChurchorChristianity,they aresaidtobelongtothetrueChurch inspirit,andarehencecapableof sharinginthegraceofGod.If,however,theyareinbadfaithregarding thepersonandclaimsofChristand theChurch,theycannotbesaved.

ThefollowingextractfromapronouncementofPopePiusIX.onthis matterputsthecaseclearly.After assertingthatthosewholivedoutside thetruefaithandCatholicunity, throughtheirownfaultcouldnotattaineternallife,hecontinued:

"Itisknowntousandtoyouthat thosewhothroughnofaultoftheir ownareignorant-ofourmostholyreligion.butwhoobservethepreceptsof thenaturallaw(i.e.,theTenCommandments)whichGodhaswritten intheheartsofallmen,andwhoin theirwillingnesstoobeyGod,livean honestanduprightlife,maybytheaid ofthedivinelightandgrace,attainto eternallife.ForGodwhobeholds, searchesandknowstheminds,the hearts,thethoughtsandhabitsofall men,inHisSovereignGoodnessand Mercy,doesnotpermitanyonetosuffer,eternalpunishmentwhoisguiltless ofawilfultransgressionofHislaw."

InthispronouncementthePope, whilevigorouslyupholdingtheteachingthatmembershipintheChurchis theordinarymeansofsalvation,atthe sametimetaughtthatonewhoin goodfaithisignorantoftheclaimsof theChurch,isexcusedfromguilt,and willbesaved,ifhediesinthestate ofgrace.

Q.:IsitpermissibleforaCatholicwho hasbeengrantedaseparationfrom herhusbandbytheauthorityofthe Church,toseekacivildivorce,in ordertoobtainthebenefitoftheecclesiasticaljudgment?

A.:Yes,itispermittedCatholics whohavebeenlegitimatelyseparated fromtheirpartnersbyecclesiastical authoritytoseekandobtainacivil separationfromtheState,inorderto enforcetheseparationlegally.

Andiftheseparationgrantedbythe Churchispermanent,andthehelpof thecivillawisneededtoenforceit, theecclesiasticalauthoritymightallow theCatholicpartytoseekandobtain acivildivorce. Suchapersonwouldnotbea divorceeintheacceptedsenseofthe termbecausethereisnotintentionto dissolveavalidmarriage,becausethat isnotpossible.And,ofcourse,there isnointentiontomarryagainduring thelifetimeoftheotherparty.In fact,-aswornstatementtothiseffect i-requiredbytheecclestiasticalauthority.

Q.:Wouldsuchapersonberefused theSacraments?

A.:No. ACatholicactinginthe abovemannerwouldbeactinginaccordanceWithCatholicdiscipline,and isthereforeentitled,totheSacraments. Ineverycaseofthiskind,permission topetitionthecivilcourtsmustbe soughtfromtheBishopoftheDiocese whoistheonlyjudgeinsogravea matter.

Q.:Doyouconsideritselfishofa womantoremainsingle?Isthere anobligationonsuchapersonto marry?

A.:Ifawomandefinitelydislikes theideaofmarrying,thereisnothing intheworldtopreventherremaining single,withaclearconscience.There isnoobligationonanyparticularpersontomarry.Apart,however,from aspecialcalltothereligiouslife,one's valuetotheworldandreligionwould normallybehigherinthemarriedlife thaninthesingle.NormallyIsay, hutnotnecessarily.Someofthe greatestofourCatholiccitizenswere unmarriedwomen,livingintheworld.
