Thepriestyoumentionactedquite correctly.TheChurchforbidshimto ministertheSacramentstoanybody whodoesn'tbelongtoit,eventhough suchapersonbeingoodfaith.And so,beforeyoucouldreceiveAbsolutionfromhimyouwouldfirsthaveto seekinstruction,assureyourselfofthe truthofhisChurch,andbecomerecinciledwithit.Thenhavingbecomeamember,andonlythenwould youbeentitledtotheprivilegeof membership.Andsurelythisattitude isreasonableeenough.

SALVATIONISHARDEROUTSIDE

THECHURCH

L.P.H.,MidlandJunction

Q.:Doyouadmitthatpeoplecanbe savedeventhoughtheydonotbelongtoyourChurch,and,ifso,isn't theirchurchconsequentlyasgoodas theCatholicChurch?

A.:Well,now.L.P.H.,totakethe firstpartofyourquestion,"Canpeople besavedwhodonotbelongtothe CatholicChurch?"Theanswer,of course,is"Yes,theymostcertainly canbesaved";andmyadmission,as youtermit,isnotamerepersonal opinion,butitistheteachingofthe Churchthatthoseoutsideherranks canbesavediftheyarebaptised,are ingoodfaith,anddie,aswesay,ina stateofgrace.Suchpeoplebelongin spirittotheChurch,sincetheirwish istodoGod'swill.

But,andthereisatrigbut,oursalvationorourultimateparticipationin theDivineLife,towhichwealllook forward,ismuchmoreeasilyattained throughactualmembershipofthetrue Church.AnditisonlytheCatholic Churchthatstillprovideshermembers withALLthemeansinstitutedby Christforthesalvationandthedivinisationofmen.Shealoneoffersher members,forexample,allsevenSacramentsandthedreamoftheMass. ThinkforamomentwhattheSacramentofPenanceorConfessionalone means,Thereisnootherreligious systemthatdoesreallyprofesstoget ridofthesinsofmen.ThelateG. K.Chesterton,whenaskedwhyhe joinedtheCatholicChurch,usedto reply,"Togetridofmysins,of course."Notthatthatwasbyany meansthesoleadvantageofconversionfortheinimitableG.K.Butthe pointis,herealised,amongstother things,thatsinsaremuchmoreeasily andsurelyforgivenbyAlmightyGod throughtheSacramentofPenancein theCatholicChurch.

Thewholequestionmightbeclarified throughaverysimplecomparison.A manmightbeabletocrosstheBight inanopenboat,butitwouldnotbe aseasyascrossinginaliner.Ifhe chosetoattemptthecrossinginthe openboat,whenthelinerwasavailable,hewouldn'tmeritanysympathy ifhewere'frowned.

Andnow,foryoursecondquestion: "Ifpeoplecanbesaved,eventhough theydonotbelongtoyourChurch, isn'ttheirchurchconsequentlyasgood astheCatholicChurch?"Inother words,isn'tonechurchasgoodas another?No,thatdoesnotfollow. Youmightaswellclaimthatanopen boatisasgoodastheliner,The pointis,OurLorddidn'tthinkso,and that'swhatreallymatters.Therewere manydifferentformsofworshipinHis ownday,butHerejectedthemall,includingevenJudaism,thereligionof theChosenPeople.AndinsteadHe demandedthatmenbelieveonlyinthe doctrinesthatHetaughtandthatthey bebaptisedintotheChurch'whichHe founded.ThatChurchistheCatholic Church.

Isupposeyou'llfeellikeasking, WhatproofistherethattheCatholic Churchis,andalwayswas,theonly trueChurch?Theproofliesinthe factthattheCatholicChurchalone correspondsperfectlytothereligion establishedbyChristwhenonearth.I thinkyou'lladmitwithmethatthe Christianreligionisthatreligion which-

la)W'asfoundedbyChristpersons' ally:

('b)hasexistedcontinuallyincethe timeofChrist;

NowtheCatholicChurchalonecan claim-

"REPRESSIONISMORESEVERETHANTHATOFTHECZARS"

Article5.

WehaveshownfromofficialCommunistauthoritiesthatCommunismis:

(a)AimingataDictatorshipand therebyendangeringfreedomandopeningthewaytowidespreadinjustice;

(b)Asystembasedonlawlessness, andthereforeimmoralandopposedto goodcitizenship(weusethewordimmoralherenotintherestrictedsense of"sexuallicense,"butasmeaning"op`posedtorightorderandsoundreason");

(d)Aphilosophyofmaterialism committedinitspracticalprogramme toacompleteuprootingofreligion,yet aprogrammeandaphilosophycompletelyinadequatetofacethefactsof man'sownspiritualnature.

Thesearethemainreasonswhywe ohouldrejectCommunismasasolutiontooursocialproblems.

InexaminingCommunisminthis wayweconsiderthenatureofCommunismitself,Wedonotmerelyask whatotherssayaboutit;butweturn toCommunistauthorsofstandingand ask:"WhatIStheirprogramme? Whatisittheyreallywant?Whatis theessenceandnatureofthething, calledCommunism?"Thisistheprocedurewehavefollowedsofarin thesearticles.Wehavefoundour answer.Wehaveseenthecompelling reasonswhyCommunismmustberejectedbyright-thinkingmen.We havejudgedCommunismbyitsown words.-L.D.

Sofarwehavemadeonlycasual mentionoftheSovietUnion,where since1917,theprinciplesofCommun., 1.:ismhavebeenmoreorlessappliedto socialorganisation.

ThequestionofCommunismisconsiderablycloudedandconfusedboth bythosewhodefenditandthosewho opposeit,bytheargumentfromthe Russianexperiment.Itseemstome thatweshouldjudgeCommunism primarilybywhatitisandwhatit aimsatdoing.ThisIhavedonein Previousarticles.

',IfCommunismbreaksdownandfails asasocialinRussia,itwouldnot necessarilyfollowthatCommunismis essentiallyafailure.Ontheother hand,ifCommunismsucceededinestablishinga"workers'Paradise"in Russia(asitmostcertainlyhasnot) itcouldstillbewrongandinhuman.

Forthisreasontheargumentsthat aredrawnfromtheRussianexperimentbybothdefendersandopponents ofCommunism,areunsatisfactory.

Ifwearetotakeabalancedview oftheRussianexperimentthereare manyfactorswemustbearinmindbeforeassessingitssuccessorfailure.

Amongthesefactorsare:(1)Thevast territoriesandpopulationsgrouped nowundertheU.S.S.R.TheSoviet Constitutionof1936(Art.13)namesII differentRepublicswhichconstitute `the"UnionofSovietSocialistRepublics."These11republicscomprise peopleofwidelydivergentracesand languages.Theirterritoriescomprise one-sixthofthelandsurfaceofthe globe.Theirpopulationsnumber over170millions.Itwouldindeed beanamazingmiracleofsocialachievementifanewsocialsystemwithInthespaceof20oreven50yearswere abletobuilda"workers'Paradise"out ofthis!Again,wemustrecall(2) thatRussiaundertheoldCzaristregimewhichtheCommunistsdisplaced, wasoneofthemostshockinglybadly administeredcountriesintheworld, TheCzaristGovernmentswerenotoriouslytyrannousandtheadministrationdeplorablybacldward;education, agriculture,industry. allwereina

badway.Asystemwhichcouldnot improveonthatoftheRussianCzars wouldbebadindeed.EvenifCommunismhassubstitutedoneformoftyrannyforanother,andiftheCommissarsaremuchthesameastheCzarsin thelongrun,atleastgiganticstrides havebeenmadeineducation,industry andagriculture,thoughthecostin humanlibertyandlifehasbeenappalling.InfairnesstotheRussianexperiment,themagnitudeofthetaskofsocialconstructionthatconfrontedCommunismmustbeborneinmind, Againitmustberemembered(3)that theRussianpeopleneverhaveexperiencedbeforeorsincetheCzars"democracy"asweunderstandit,withits freedomofthepress,freedomofspeech freedomofpoliticalassociation,etc. Whatweofthedemocraticcountries wouldviewasthe"insufferabletyrannies"oftheCommunisttotalitarianism,theydonotnecessarilyviewin thesamelight.

Theworldhasbeenfloodedwith booksontheSovietexperimentrangingfromtheworthlessimpressionsof touristswithneithertimenorability toformanaccurateoreventolerable reliableestimateofthesuccessorfailureoftheexperiment,tobooksofmen whohavespentlongyearsinthe U.S.S.R.andhavebeeninapositionto makeasounderjudgment.William HenryChamberlain,forexample,whose book,"Russia'sIronAge,"isoneof ..hemostauthoritativeworksonthe U.S.S.R.,livedinMoscowfrom192'2to .434 Hisevidenceislikelytobe moretrustworthythanthatofsome itinerantTradeUnionrepresentative invitedtoabriefCongressinMoscow.Yethesaysinthecourseofthe booknamed:"ThatSovietrepression ismoreseverethanthatoftheCzars isscarcelyopentodenial."

Andagain:"TheexperienceofRussia'sIronAgewouldcertainlyindicatethatthestate-aswellastheprivateemployer,canbeexploiter."(p. 2751.

Anothernoteworthyattemptata fairestimateoftheSovietexperiment wasthewidelyreadworkofJosephE. Davies,whowasAmbassadorofthe U.SA.totheSovietUnionfrom1936 to1938.Hisbook,"MissiontoMoscow,"inspiredthefilmofthattitle whichwashailedwithdelightbythe Communistpress.Butextravagant admirersofSovietismglideoverinsilencethemostimportantverdictsof Daviesand(featureonlythoseaspects ofhisworkwhichsuittheirpurposeof propaganda.Daviesseemsmost anxioustopaytributetowhatever goodhasbeenachievedunderStalin. TheachievementsofSovietart,particularlyinthetheatre,heglowingly praises.

InaconfidentialreporttotheAmericanSecretaryofState,datedApril 1.1938,hewrites:"Publicimprovements-buildings, roads, bridges, canals,andthelike-areimpressive notonlyinthemselvesbutinthespeed oftheirprojection. Stalin,historically,willberecognisedprobablyasthe greatbuilderinRussiafollowingPeter theGreat."Butheadds:"TheTerrorhereisahorrifyingfact.There aremanyevidenceshereinMoscow thatthereisafearthatreachesdown intoandhauntsallsectionsofthe community."(p.232.)Furtherinthe book(p.238)hewrites:"Noamount ofmaterialimprovementscanever compensateforthedenialoffreedom, ofliberty.andtherightsoftheindividual."Andonp.498hesays:"I don'tcarehowmuchtotalitarianstates ordictatorshipsmayprovideinmaterialbenefitsorsocialbenefitsto childhoodoroldage iflibertyand freedomhavetobesacrificed,thenthe priceistoohightopay."

Suchreliabletestimonyasthisdoes notnecessarilyprovethecaseagainst Communism;butitdoesmakerubbish oftheextravagantclaimofmuchRed propagandawhichhailstheSovietas aParadisefortheworkerandasa modelforalldemocracies.

ThesplendidresistanceofRussia (luringthewarhaslikewise,beenillogicallyrepresentedasinsomewayor anotheranargumentinfavourofCommunism.This,too,isaconfusionof theissue.WhentheNazisinvaded Russia,herpeoplefoughtaswouldthe peopleofanycountrywhentheinvadersetsfootupontheirnational soil.OnlyafewyearsagotheCommunistsridiculedthevirtueofpatriotismasabourgeoisnotioninventedby Capitaliststoexploitthepoor!The mightoftheSovietarmynomore provesthatCommunismisrightthan didthemightoftheNaziarmiesprove thatNazismwasright.TheheroicresistanceoftheRussianpeoplenomore provesthatRussiaisaworkers'ParadisethantheheroicenduranceofLondonersprovedthatEnglandisaworkers'Paradise!

AsforRussia'sindustrialoutput,it wouldcertainlyseem,ifwearetoacceptevidenceofJohnScottinhisrecentbook,"BackoftheUrals,"that theworldhasyettorealisethetitanic achievementoftheRussianpeoplein exploitingthefabulousresourcesof iron,coal,copper,bauxite,lead,manganese,potash,magnesium,zincand petroleumoftheUralregions,This vastareaofwhichthenewly-founded cityofMagnitogorskisthecentre, comprisesroughly500milessquare andissetalmost1,000milesbeyond

Whateverthe-defenders'ofCommunismmightsaytojustifysuchasacrificeofhumanvaluesforthecauseof industrialefficiency,itiscertainthat mostpeopleoftheWesterndemocracieswouldagreewithJosephDavies that"thepriceistoohightopay."

However,asIhavealreadyinsisted, thewholequestionoftheRussianexperimentopensupquestionswhich makeadebateonCommunismunnecessarilycomplicated.Quiteapart fromwhateverevidencemightbeproducedonewayoranotheronthepresentstateoftheU.S.S.R.oronitsrecenthistory,thebasicprinciplesof Communismareclearanditisupon theseprimarilythatitistobecondemned.
