TheFranciscan,presumablya memberoftheZagrebcommunity whosefriarywasraidedseveral monthsagoonthedaythatthe Archbishop'sresidencewassearchedbysecretpolice,hasdescribed theArchbishopes"thecentreof

allterroristactionandinterventionfromabroad." ThetestimonyoftheArchbishop'ssecretarywastothesameeffect.He toldthecourt,accordingtoan agencymessage,that"theArchbishop'scastle(sic)inZagreb, wasthecentreofUstashi,Crusaderandterroristaction."Inreplytoquestions,FatherShalich addedtheinformationthatthe Archbishop"wantedanindependentStateofCroatia,whichwas erectedbytheUstashi,Germans andItalians."AnotherallegationisthattheArchbishophad contactwithCol.EricLisak,chief ofsecuritypolice.underGeneral Mihailovich,whoissaidtohave returnedtoYugoslaviaafterthe wartoorganisethe"Crusaders' organisation.Col.Lisakwassentencedtobehanged.

Here,forthemoment,reststhe caseagainsttheArchbishop. Whatofthedefence?Itisnecessarytooutlineithere,forlittle ofitwasheardatthe"trial."

ChampionofPeople.

-Thefirstobviouspointisthat the'Archbishopwasaccusedof actiondatingfromthetimewhen YugoslaviawasunderGerman andItalianoccupation,thecrime beingthathetriedtogainindependenceforCroatia.Inother words,theArchbishophasbeen labelledacriminalfortryingto getthebestpossibledealforhis people,atthattimesuffering fierceoppressionundertwoforeigninvaders.

WhethertheArchbishopdidor didnotplayanydirectpartin seekingtoestablishindependence fortheCroatswedonotknow.

The'Archbishophasnothimself madeanyreferencetothefact, Butwhatwedoknowisthat,if hedid,itwasinnospiritofquislingsubservience.Fortheworld knows,oroughtto,thatatthat time-whenthenameofTitowas unheardof-theArchbishopstood outheadandshouldersabovehis fellow-countrymenasthechampionofhispeople'srightsandthe onewhocondemned,openlyand vigorously,theatrocitiesofthe Germans.

BishopRosman,ofLjublana, arefugeeintheBritishzoneof Austria,andwhowasrecently sentencedinhisabsencebyTito's judiciarytoalongtermofimprisonment,vouchesforthisarbitraryinterpretationoftheword inTito'speculiarvocabulary.

BishopRozmanhasrevealedthat duringtheoccupationthepartisansusedtorushdownfromthe hillsonthedefencelessvillages, massacringtheinhabitantsand lootingtheirproperty.Seeing this,theGermanssuppliedthe partisanswitharms.Meanwhile thevillagersbandedthemselves intoakindofHomeGuardto protecttheirhomes.TheGermans,whomthesesuicidalfrays suited,armedtheHomeGuard. BishopRozmanapprovedofthe people'sdefenceoftheirhomes againstthesavagehillinvaders andsomeofhisclergybecame chaplainstoHomeGuardunits.

To-dayinTito-dominatedYugo. slavia,thevillagerswhowereforcedtodefendtheirlivesandpropertyareterrorists.Sowhen ArchbishopStepinacisacccused ofconsortingwithterrorists,it meansthat,likeMr.Churchill,he sawnothingwronginpeopletakingtiparmstodefendtheirhomes againstbrutalaggressors.

Ofthe"Crusaders in the Woods"littleisknowninthis countrybeyondthefactthatthey werementionedbyBelgradeRadioatthetimethattheArchbishOp'spalaceandFranciscan friarynearbywereraided.But itisalmostacertaintythatthere arepartisan(initstruesense) groupscarryingonunderground warfareagainstTito'sbarbarous policeState,whichseekstoimpose,atthepointofthegun,a detested,aliencultureonaChristianpeople.

ThesamestateofaffairsoperatesineverycountrywhereMoscoworitspuppetsrulebyforce. PatriotgroupsarefightinginPoland,intheBalticStates,and eveninRussiaitself.Andthey fightwiththesamemoraljustificationasdidtheundergroundorganisationsintheNazi-occupied countries.

Finally,thereisthequestion: "Why.ifArchbishopStepinacis suchanotoriouscriminal,did Titonotarresthimlongago?"If itissaidthatevidenceislacking.thereistheobviousretort thattheArchbishop'sconductduringtheGermanoccupationhas beenwellknownthroughoutthe countryforyears.Furthermore, itismanymonthssincetheArchbishop'sresidencewasraided,his secretaryarrestedandthe archivestakenawaybythesecretpolice.Onthatoccasion thequestionwasaskedbynewspapermen:"IstheArchbishop himselfimplicated?"TheGovernmentspokesmanhedged,answeringineffect:"Well,whatdo youthink?"Butnoactionwas taken.

Undismayed,theArchbishop foughtforjustice.Withinthe past'year,protestingagainstthe chargeof"warcriminals"the YugoslavBishopschallengedthe Alliestosendaninternationaltribunaltojudgetheaccusations publiclymadeagainstthem.They courageouslydeclaredthatsuch acommissionwouldbesoonconvincedthat,notthey,butthe Communistswerethetruecriminals.

FactstobeRemembered

Twootherfactsshouldbe borneinmindabouttheforthcomingtrialofArchbishopStepinac:

First,theSovietanditspuppets havesecretbutveryefficient meansofreducingprisonerstoa stateofabjectacquiescence,so thattheybecometheirownaccusers.Thetestimonyofthetwo priestsagainsttheArchbishopis, therefore,suspectfromthestart.

Secondly,itisonlyinRussia anditssatellitesthattheBishops andclergyareaccusedwholesale. InAlliedcountries,theChurch hasasplendidrecordofresistance againstevilideologyandbrutal terrorism.

Hierarchy'sAppealforFreedom VaticanRadiothisweekbroadcastthesalientpointsofapastoralletterissuedbytheYugoslavHierarchyinwhichtheGovernmentwasurgedto"givepracticalmeaningtothosebeautiful words,'libertyofconscienceand freedomofreligion'."

Outliningthepositionofthe Catholicreligion,theBishopssay:

"Therearewholeregionsin whichnoreligiouslessonsaregiven.Obstaclesareevenputinthe wayofpriestswho,becauseof theseregions,!eelittheirduty togathertogetherthechildrenin churchesforreligiousinstruction Itisheldagainsttheprieststhat theypreachaboutGodandabout othertruthswhichtheChurch, astheteacheroftruthandinfulfilmentofthemissionentrusted toherbyChrist,isconstrainedto preach.

"Weregretthatwearenot freetopublishCatholicpapers, whichwouldbeofsomuchhelp tousintheeducationofyouth"

OfTito'sdemandthatthe ChurchinYugoslaviashouldsever itselffromtheHolySee,theMishopsdeclare:"Wearenotinthe leastpreparedtofollowthatadvice.Onthecontrary,ever,' attackagainsttheHolyFather servesonlytocompelustoamore lovingunionwiththeFatherof ChristianitywhositsintheChair ofPeter"

TheBishopsfinallywarntee GovernmentthattheStatewill bestflourishwhenthepeopleare happyandthattheywillbehappy when"theyseetheirFaithesteemed."

JusticeForSchools!

Sir,-Iwaspleasedtoreadthe articlebyFrancisGilbertonthe CatholicattitudetoStateassistancefordenominationalschools inthe"WithoutApology"page of"TheRecord"ofAugust28. Heveryclearlystatesthepositionoftherightsofparentas againstthoseoftheStateinthe matteroftheeducationofour children,whichwasapleasure. Therightsofparentsappearto havebeenforgotten,evenamcr.gstCatholics,dnd,inmyopinion, itcannotbegivenprominencetoo often.TheState'srights,ashe pointsout,areclearandlimited inthismatter,anditistheir dutytoactwheretheparents havefailed,orareunabletodo so.Thechildrenbelongtothe parents,whoarethenaturalguardians,andthatrightcomesfrom God,notforanyStateauthority.

Regardingtheclaimrecently putforwardbytheAnglican SynodforStateaidforsecondary denominationalschools,Francis Gilberthasstatedthdposition verylucidly.Hepointsout that"parentsarenotcompelled tosendtheirchildrentosecondaryschools,buttheyarecompelledtosendthemtoprimary schoolsuntiltheyattainschool-

Iwonderwhathewouldsaytodayifhecouldcomebackand viewourCatholicschools,which havesurvived,andwillcontinue tosurvive.

Thismeasurewouldsurelycommenditselfonlyinextremecases. Thespiritofhyper-nationalism, whichwillnotpermitpersonsof differentoriginandculturetolive togetherinharmonyandfellowship,is-athoroughlyevilthing; itoughtnottobeencouragedby transferenceofpeoples.Besides,conditions,ontheContinent areto-daysodifficultthatatransferofthekindcouldnotbecarriedoutwithproperhumanity andcare.Suchatransferhas nothingincommonwiththewickedpolicy,nowrampantinEastCentralEurope,ofdrivinghundredsofthousandsofpeoplefrom theirhearthsandhomes-Slovaks outofHungary,Hungariansout ofSlovakia,and,worstandmost widespread,GermansfromCzechoSlovakiaandfromSilesia.This policy,whateverbethereasons alleged,iscriminal.

Never,inthewholehistoryof mankind,hasanyoneofsound reasonbutChristHimselfputforwardsuchaclaim.Whatisthere inHiscasetomakeuslistento andadmitit?

ThecharacterofChristisset outforusveryfullyandvery clearlyintheGospels.Hewasa manofrareintellectualpowers,of singularmoderation,calmjudgment,anddeliberateaction.Ile wassincere,truthful,humble,unselfish,reverenttowardsGod,and intenselyreligious.Therecords ofmankindoffernoparallelto Christ.Thereisnopersonage inallauthentichistorywhomwe shouldthinkforamomentofputtingonalevelwithHim.Men ofallreligions,menofnoreligion, areagreedthat:iftheGospel storybeatrueone,Christwas theideal,theperfectman.Since HislifeanddeathinPalestine manyhundredyearsago,Hehas beenthesupremeobjectofadmiration,love,worship,tocountlessmillions.Learnedandunlettered,menandwomen,slave andfree,princeandpeasant,the bestandnoblestineveryage, havebelievedinHim,havetaken Himforapattern,havelivedand labouredforHim,havebeen readytodieforHim.Theyhave foundinHimtheabsolutelycompleteembodimentofallthehighestintellectualandmoralexcellencewhichtheworldhasever seen.Suchbeingthecharacter ofChrist,wecannotrejectHis claimtobeGod,howeverextraordinaryitmayseem.Hewas notanimpostor;Hewasnota fool;and,ifwerejectHisclaim, itcanonlybeonthegroundthat Hewasoneortheother,ifnot both.

WitnessofMiracles

Wehavenoneedforfurther argument,norisanyothersoconvincing.ButChristHimself gaveothers.HegaveHismiraclesasaproofofHisclaims. HesaidHimself:"Thoughyoudo notbelieveMe,believetheworks:

thatyoumayknowandbelieve thattheFatherisinMe,andIin theFather."(Jo.X.,23.)

AndHisworksweresonumerousandsowonderfulthat,as theGospelsays:

"Ofthepeoplemanybelievein Him,andsaid:WhentheChrist cometh,shallHedomoremiracles thanthesewhichthismandoth?" (Jo.VII.,21).

Weneednotdiscussthemindetailnow,butitisenoughtoread themastheEvangelistsnarrate them:Themultiplicationofthe loavesandfishes;thewalkingon thewatersandthestillingofthe tempest;thehealingofblindBartimaeus;thecleansingofthe lepers:thecureofthecountier's child:theraisingofthewidow's sonatNaim;andmanyothers -tobeconvincedthatChrist workedmiraclesandworkedthem inconfirmationofHisclaims.

Oneofthem,however,callsfor somespecialconsideration,ifonly becauseChristHimselfandHis Apostlesmakeitthefoundation oftheChristianFaith."IfChrist benotrisenagain,"St.Paul writestotheCorinthians,"thenis ourpreachingvain,andyourfaith isalsovain."(2Cor.XV.,14.)

Nownothingcanbemoreplain andexplicitthanthetestimonyof theNewTestamenttoChrist's Resurrection.Itiscertain,therefore,thatChristrosefromthe dead;thatHisResurrection'was infulfilmentofHisownpromises andprophecies;thatHispropheciesweremadeinconfirmationof Hisclaims.Onthisground, therefore,asonthatofHisperfectmoralandreligiouscharacter,Hisclaimsmustbeadmitted. AndHeclaimed,aswehaveseen, tobeveryGod.

WhySundayMass isobligatory "Nontatholic,"EastPerth: "WhatisthereasonforobligingCatholicstogotoMasseach Sunday?Surelyamancan praytoGodandhonourHim athome?Whatcanaman doatMasswhichhecannotdo inhisownhouse?Andcan youtelluswhyyoubringthe VirginMaryintoreligion?She didnotsaveus."

A.:TheCatholicChurchteaches withtheauthorityofJesusChrist. HebadeHisApostles:"Goteach allnations,baptisingtheminthe nameoftheFatherandofthe SonandoftheHolyGhost.Teachingthemtoobserveallthings whatsoeverIhavecommanded you,andbeholdIamwithyou alldayseventotheconsummationoftheworld.''(Mt.XXVIII., 20.)

OnanotheroccasionHesaidto them:"Hethathearethyou,hearethMe."(Lk.X.,16.) Christ's ChurchspeakinginHisName teachesthattheCommandmentof theOldLaw:"Rememberthou keepholytheSabbathDay,.ie., theDayofRest,"istobeobservedbythemembersoftheChurch sanctifyingtheSundaybyassistingattheHolySacrificeofthe Mass.ThisgreatSacrificewhich renewsandcommemoratesthe greatSacrificeofourRedemption offeredbyChristOurLordon MountCalvary,isrightlytaught bytheChurchtobethecentral andessentialfactorintheChristianFaith.IntheMasstheSacrificeofCalvaryisrenewedbecauseinitsoffertngthesameVictimoffered,thesamePriestofficiates,andbothforthesamepur-

pose-theSalvationofMankind bytheatonementtoAlmighty Godforthesinsofmen.Christ OurLordistheVictimoffered, andChristOurLordisthePriest WhooffersHimselfthroughthe handsoftheearthlypriestinthe HolySacrificeoftheMass.In thisofferingintheMassiscommemoratedinamysticwayand withoutthesheddingofblood thedeathofChristonCalvary.

"Asoftenasyoushalleatthis breadanddrinkthechalice,you shallshowthedeathoftheLord, untilHecome"(Cor.XI.,25), wroteSt.PaultotheCorinthians. Isitanywonder,then,thatthe ChurchinsiststhatallhermembersbepresentontheLord'sDay

atthisHolySacrifice?Especiallybecausethefaithfulpreeent arenotmerelypassivespectators ofthesacrifice,butarebytheir unionwithChristthroughSanctifyingGrace,jointoffererswith Him.Justthinkofthegreat gracesthatflowintothesoulsof thefaithfulofferingtheHolySacrificewithChristonaSunday morning,andgreaterstillifthey partakeoftheBodyandBloodof theLordinHolyCommunion,as theyareurgedto,inorderthat their-progressinholinessmaybe steady.

Thisthenisthereasonthatthe ChurchrequiresallCatholicsto assistatMasseverySunday.

ThecharacterofChristisset outforusveryfullyandvery clearlyintheGospels.Hewasa manofrareintellectualpowers,of singularmoderation,calmjudgment,anddeliberateaction.He wassincere,truthful,humble,unselfish,reverenttowardsGod,and intenselyreligious.Therecords ofmankindoffernoparallelto Christ.Thereisnopersonage inallauthentichistorywhomwe shouldthinkforamomentofputtingonalevelwithHim.Men ofallreligions,menofnoreligion, areagreedthat:iftheGospel storybeatrueone,Christwas theideal,theperfectman.Since HislifeanddeathinPalestine manyhundredyearsago,Hehas beenthesupremeobjectofadmiration,love,worship,tocountlessmillions.Learnedandunlettered,menandwomen,slave andfree,princeandpeasant,the bestandnoblestineveryage, havebelievedinHim,havetaken Himforapattern,havelivedand labouredforHim,havebeen readytodieforHim.Theyhave foundinHimtheabsolutelycompleteembodimentofallthehighestintellectualandmoralexcellencewhichtheworldhasever seen.Suchbeingthecharacter ofChrist,wecannotrejectHis claimtobeGod,howeverextraordinaryitmayseem.Hewas notanimpostor;Hewasnota fool;and,ifwerejectHisclaim, itcanonlybeonthegroundthat Hewasoneortheother,ifnot both.

WitnessofMiracles

Wehavenoneedforfurther argument,norisanyothersoconvincing.ButChristHimself gaveothers.HegaveHismiraclesasaproofofHisclaims. HesaidHimself:"Thoughyoudo notbelieveMe,believetheworks:

thatyoumayknowandbelieve thattheFatherisinMe,andIin theFather."(Jo.X.,23.)

.andhisworksweresonumerousandsowonderfulthat,as theGospelsays:

"Ofthepeoplemanybelievein Him,andsaid:WhentheChrist cometh,shallHedomoremiracles thanthesewhichthismancloth?"

Jo.VII.,21).

Weneednotdiscussthemindetailnow,butitisenoughtoread themastheEvangelistsnarrate them:Themultiplicationofthe loavesandfishes;thewalkingon thewatersandthestillingofthe tempest;thehealingofblindBar. timaeus:thecleansingofthe lepers;thecureofthecountier's child;theraisingofthewidow's sonatNaim;andmanyothers -tobeconvincedthatChrist workedmiraclesandworkedthem inconfirmationofHisclaims.

Oneofthem,however,callsfor somespecialconsideration,ifonly becauseChristHimselfandHis Apostlesmakeitthefoundation oftheChristianFaith."IfChrist benotrisenagain,"St.Paul writestotheCorinthians,"thenis ourpreachingvain,andyourfaith isalsovain."(2Cor.XV.,14.1

Nownothingcanbemoreplain andexplicitthanthetestimonyof theNewTestamenttoChrist's Resurrection.Itiscertain,therefore,thatChristrosefromthe dead;thatHisResurrection'was infulfilmentofHisownpromises andprophecies;thatHispropheciesweremadeinconfirmationof Hisclaims.Onthisground, therefore,asonthatofHisperfectmoralandreligiouscharacter,Hisclaimsmustbeadmitted.

WhySundayMass isobligatory

"Non.Catholie,"EastPerth:

"WhatisthereasonforobligingCatholicstogotoMasseach Sunday?Surelyamancan praytoGodandhonourHim athome?Whatcanaman doatMasswhichhecannotdo inhisownhouse?Andcan youtelluswhyyoubringthe VirginMaryintoreligion?She didnotsaveus."

A.:TheCatholicChurchteaches withtheauthorityofJesusChrist. HebadeHisApostles:"Goteach allnations,baptisingtheminthe nameoftheFatherandofthe SonandoftheHolyGhost.Teachingthemtoobserveallthings whatsoeVerIhavecommanded you,andbeholdIamwithYOU alldayseventotheconsummationoftheworld."(Mt.XXVIII., 20.) OnanotheroccasionHesaidto them:"Hethathearethyou,hearethMe."(Lk.X.,16.)Christ's ChurchspeakinginHisName teachesthattheCommandmentof theOldLaw:"Rememberthou keepholytheSabbathDay..ie., theDayofRest,"istobeobservedbythemembersoftheChurch sanctifyingtheSundaybyassistingattheHolySacrificeofthe Mass.ThisgreatSacrificewhich renewsandcommemoratesthe greatSacrificeofourRedemption offeredbyChristOurLordon MountCalvary,isrightlytaught bytheChurchtobethecentral andessentialfactorintheChristianFaith.IntheMasstheSacrificeofCalvaryisrenewedbe. causeinitsofferingthesameVictimoffered,thesamePriestofficiates,andbothforthesamepur-

"Asoftenasyoushalleatthis breadanddrinkthechalice,you shallshowthedeathoftheLord, untilHecome"(Cor.XI.,251, wroteSt.PaultotheCorinthians. Isitanywonder,then,thatthe Churchinsiststhatallhermem bersbepresentontheLord'sDay
