WHYHONOURTHESAINTS?

C.R.PMountLawley:

Q.:NowhereintheNewTestamentdowefindanycommand topraytosaints,

A.:Nowhere,evenoutsidethe Bible,dowefindacommandto praytosaints.Atthesametime, Youwouldseemtorequirethat, inthismatter,thereshouldbein theNewTestamentacommand inexplicitterms:Thoushaltpray tothesaints.

TheCatholicChurchdefinitely teachesthevalidityofthepracticeofprayingtothesaintsand itsusefulness.TheChurchsays thatitis"goodandusefultoinvoketheassistanceinordertoobtainbenefitsfromGod,through JesusChrist,WhoaloneisourRedeemerandSaviour."

Q.:Infact,thewholeideaof prayingtosaintsisrepugnantto thespiritoftheNewTestament."

A.:Thatisnotso.Doyouthink itrepugnanttothespiritofthe NewTestamenttoaskyourfriends toprayonyourbehalf,particularlyintimesofgreatneed,and particularlyifyouconsiderthem peopleoftruereligiousspirit?

Anyhow,St.Paulseemedto thinkitquitetherightthing."Ye alsohelpingtogetherbyprayerfor us,"hewrotetotheCorinthians, "thatforthegiftbestowedupon usbymanypersons,thanksmay begivenbymanyonourbehalf." (Cor.II.,11.)AndtotheChristiansofEphesus:"(I.)Ceasenot togivethanksforyou,making mentionofyouinmyprayers;that theGodofOurLordJesusChrist, theFatherofGlory,maygiveunto youthespiritofwisdomandrevelationinthe1:nowledgeofHim."

(Ephes.I.,16and17.)

Andnotonlydidheprayfor others;healsoaskedothersto prayforhim.Thus,attheconclusionofhisEpistletotheThessalonians:"Brethren,prayforus."

IV.,25.)"No*Ibeseechyou, brethren,fortheLordJesus ,Christ'ssake thatyoustrive togetherwithmeinyourprayers toGodforme."(Rom.15,30.)

Well,ifitisnot'repugnantto thespiritoftheNewTestament toaskfortheprayersofourbrethrenonearth,whyshoulditberepugnanttoaskfortheprayersof ourbrethreninHeaven?

Q.:Youmakeupanewsortof thingaltogether--somethingyou callasaint.

A.:Idonotknowwhatreligion youprofess,butIdoknowthatin manynon-CatholicChurchesitis customarytorecitethe"Creed"; andwhenamanrecitesthe "Creed"hesays,amongother, "IbelieveintheCommunionof Saints."

SothatwhentheChurchcanonisesasaint,itcanoniseshim;it doesnotmakehim.Inother words,theChurchdeclaresthathe issurelyinHeaven,becauseofhis liftofheroicvirtuewhileonearth. Thefaithfulmayhonourhimpublicly,theChurchhonourshimofficiallyasoneofourbrethren-pne ofthoseunitedwithusinChrist ---,Whohas"foughtthegoodfight andwonthecrownoflife."

"Enquiry,"Kalgoorlie:

Q.:Whatisthereligiousbodti, knownas"OldCatholics"?

A.:"OldCatholics"isthename giventoasectwhichhadits origininGermany,andwhichwas inspiredprincipallybyopposition totheDogmaofpapalinfallibility. Itsfirstmemberswereabout1,400 GermanCatholics,who,filledwith ideasofLiberalisminreligion,refusedtoacceptthisdogma,which theyclaimedtobe"aninnovation contrarytothetraditionalfaithof theChurch."

Thiswasthebeginning.More followedasthemovementgatheredimpetus.Inaconferenceat Munichin1871,whichwasattendedalsobyrepresentativesofthe AnglicanChurchandbyAmerican andGermanProtestants,the tenetsofthenewbodywereproclaimed.Themainlineswere: AdherencetotheancientCatholic faith,.withtherejectionofnew Dogmas:adherencetotheState againsttheattacksofultra-montanism,i.e..theso-calledinterferenceofthePopeintheaffairsofa nationalChurch;reformofthe Churchwithparticipationofthe laityinitsconstitution:reform inthetrainingandpositionofthe clergy.

beenmadeknowntomankindby God,cannotchange.Bywhose authorityhavetheybeendiscarded?

Q.:ManyChristianswhorespect historicChristianity,atthesame timerealisethattheteachingof theChurchmustbeadoptedto modernconditions,

A.:Modernconditionscannot affectthevalueoftruth.It istruethatinothersciences,or inotherbranchesofknowledge, thingsthatwereheldtobetruein thepasthavenowbeenproved face.Thatisbecausetheconclusionsheldpreviouslyweredrawn fromfalseorincompletepremises. Forinstance,manyajudgment,in mattersofhistory,hashadtobe revisedinthelightoffreshevidenceuncoveredbyhistoricalresearch.

Q.:Thatthisistrueisprovedby thefactthatleadingchurchmen inmanycountriesnolongerhold withtheoldwayofthinking.

A.:Yourstatementasastatementoffactiscorrect;evenprominentchurchmenhavediscarded someofthetruthsoftheChristian religion,orhavechangedthemto suit,astheyclaim,moderncondi-

Butyourconclusionisnotjustified.Theirwayofthinkingand preachingdoesnotprovethatsuch truthsshouldbeormustbediscarded.

Q.:Theysaythat'Christianteachingmustberestatedinaway thatwillmakeanappealto peopleintheworldtoday.

LaterontheelectionofaBishop wasdecideduponandaconstitutiondrawnup.

Q.:Hasitanyconnectionwiththe RomanCatholicChurch.

Idonotknowwhatyouwould understandby"theCommunionof Saints."buttheCatholicChurch understandsbyit:theunionwhich existsbetweentheblessedin Ileaven,thesoulsinPurgatory, andthe-faithfulonearth.Inother words,theunionofallwhobelongtoChrist.

Andthisconcept,ongeneral linesatleast,cannotappear strangetoanyonewhoknowsthe NewTestament. St.Paulusedtheexpressionfrequentlyinregardtothefaithful onearth.Forexample:"Paul,an apostleofJesusChrist,bythewill ofGod,andTimothyourbrother; totheSaintsandfaithfulbrethren inChrist,whoareatColossa." (Coloss.I.,1,2.)

Andnowyouseemtothinkthat theChurchmanufacturessaints, peoplesHeavenwithanewspeciesofcreatures.Notso.Saints aremadeonearth,notinHeaven. Whenwespeakofsaints,inthe restrictedsenseinwhichweare speakingnow,wemeanallthose whoareinHeaven-allthe Blessed.TheCatholicChurch,in fact,hasaFeastDay-lstNovember-calledtheFeastofAllSaints.

A.:Nonewhatsoever.Except thatitsfirstadherentswereCatholics.InthebeginningtheseOld Catholicsclaimedtobethetrue Catholics,andthisclaimwasrecognisedbyseveralcivilgovernments inGermanyandSwitzerland.But asearlyas1871,aswellaslater on,officialstatementsfromRome madeitclearthattheOldCatholicshadnoconnectionwiththe CatholicChurch,butwereareligi oussocietyentirelyseparatefrom it.Andstilllater,initsconstitutional,disciplinaryandtheological development,OldCatholicismtravelledalongwayfrom"the AncientCatholicFaith"whichit originallyclaimedtoprofess.
