"Deacon,"Crawley:

"IamabelievingChristian, andbythatImean,thatIbelievethatJesusChristisGod andconsequentlythatwhatHe taughtistrue. Irecognise theScripturesasthewordof God.Iconsiderthatmanyof thedoctrinestaughtbythe RomanCatholicChurchare,in fact,theteachingofJesus. OnethingIcannotaccept,and thatis,theteachingofthat ChurchonthesubjectofConfession.Theredoesnotseem tobeanywarrantforthis practiceintheScriptures."

A.:Ifinditveryhard,"Deacon,"tounderstandhowyoucan makethatassertion.Youadmit, ofcourse,thatJesusChrist,as man,hadpowerfromGodtoforgivesins.TheGospelspresent Himtousasexercisingthis power,andwhenHisauthority wasquestioned,workingamiracle,toprovethatHehadthis power. Youwouldadmitalsothat afterHisResurrection,HeconferredonHisApostlesthepower offorgivingsins.Theincident isrecordedinJohnXX,21sqq., andisworthyofdetailedconsideration.Thepassagereads:

"Hesaidthereforetothem again:Peacebetoyou.As theFatherhathsentme,I alsosendyou.WhenHehad saidthisHebreathedonthem andHesaidtothem:Receive yetheHolyGhost.Whose sinsyoushallforgivetheyare forgiventhem,andwhosesins youshallretaintheyareretained."

Inthesewords,youhave,first ofall,thereminderthatthe Apostlesweretotakeoverthe mission,whichhadbeengivento ChristbytheFather.Wecan

sumthatmissionupinoneword.

Itwasthedestructionofsin. ThiswouldentailteachingrevealedtruthwithHisauthority andHisinfallibility.Itwould alsoentailtheguardianshipand administrationofthemeansof grace,whichareHisSacraments.Hethen,specifically, confersonthemthepowertoadministerthatoneofHisSacraments,whichwasinstitutedby Himfortheforgivenessofsin committedafterbaptism.

FromthewordswhichHe usedonthisoccasion,wegeta sufficientlyclearindicationof themannerinwhichthenew meansofgracewastobeexercised.NoticethatHegave thempower,bothtoforgiveand toretainsins.Thereisobviouslyaquestionhereofpassing judgmentonthesinsofother men,andgivinganauthoritative sentence,whichwouldberatified inHeaven.Judgmentpre-supposesknowledgeofthematterto bejudged.Nowthemento whomthispowerwasdelegated werenotmind-readers.Thesins tobeforgivenorretainedwould havetobeconfessedbytheone whowasseekingforgiveness.

Soyousee,inthewordsin whichChristconferredthis power,Heimplicitlyprescribed theessentialsofConfession,asit isunderstoodintheCatholic Church.Furthermore,sincethe powerwasgives'inconnection withthecontinuanceofChrist's ownmission,whichwastoendureforalltime,itfollowsthat thispowerwasnottodiewith theApostles.Itwastobehandedontotheirsuccessorstillthe endoftime.Incidentally,up tillthetimeofthedisruptionof Christendomthisobviousfact wasneverseriouslycalledin question.

"AsfarasIremember,in answertoaquestiononthe powerofprayer,itwassaid thatGod,beingomniscient, mustknoweverythingthat was,is,orwillbe,andthat althoughweprayforfavours, Hehasknownexactlywhat willhappenand,beingGod, cannotchangeHismind.He wouldalsoknowifandwhen anyofHiscreatureswouldor wouldnotpray.

Allourprayers,asIsuggested atthebeginning,areforeseenby Godfromalleternity.Hence thereisnoquestionofany changeintheprogramme,as youputit.Godknowsalready whatthatprogrammeisgoing tobeinourregard.ThatforeknowledgeofHis,however,does notchangethefactthatforeach oneofustheoutcomeofour livesdependsontheusewemake ofourliberty,eithertoserve GodortoneglectHisservice.

GermanyVergesonDespair andChaos

Louderandstrongerprotests byCatholicleadersinGermany andAustriaagainsttheexcesses ofRussianruleindicatethat thesecountriesarefastbeingreducedtoastateofdesperation.

RecentlybothCardinalvon Preysing,BishopofBerlin,and HbrrHelmer,AustrianMinister oftheInterior,spokeopenlyand vigorouslyagainstthedeportationofmenandwomentoSoviet territory.InGermany,the leadersofthe700,000strongLeagueofCatholicYouthissuedan appealtotheChristianyouthof theworld,askingittotrytosecurefortheGermanpeoplea justpeacetreatyandwarning thenationsthatunlessreliefis soonforthcomingGermanywill begiventodespairandchaos.

"Nobodyhaseverheardofa courtandnobodyhasheard aboutanypossibilityofdefend ingtheseyoungpeople.Itis truethattheGermanscommitted enormitiesduringthewar,but. nevertheless,theyhavestillthe righttobetreatedjustly."

TheCardinalalsodeploredthe factthatreligiousinstructionis notpermittedintheschools.

SituationinAustria.

AddressingtheAustrianParliament,HerrHelmeraccused theRussiansoutrightofdeportingciviliansandprisonersof warreleasedfromcampsinthe westtoU.S.S.R.territory.None ofthosetakenawayhasyetreturned,hesaid.

TheMinisteralsotaxedthe RussiansandJugoslayswithdetainingbignumbersofprisoners ofwarintheircamps.The Jugoslays,hesaid,returnonly thesickandinfirm,aswellas menwhohavebeentrainedin specialanti-Fascistcamps.They havetoldtheAustrianGovernmentthattheremainderwillbe releasedonlyafterthepeace treaty.

AppealingtothebigPowers tohelp,HerrHelmertoldthe M.P.'sthattheGovernmenthad maderepeatedapproachestothe U.S.S.R.forastatementofthe numberofAustrianprisoners there, "Wehavefailedsofar,"he added,"toreceiveanyaccurate information.TheRussiansmerelysaythatourAustrianestimatesareinaccurate.Nearly allAustrianprisonershavereturnedfromthewest,butrepatriationfromtheU.S.S.R.proceedsveryhaltingly."

ChristDidNotIntendtheApostles toHaveSuccessors!

PERSONALPRIVILEGESANDESSENTIALPOWERS

"Non-Conformist,"Maylands:

"Itdoesnotseemtomethat ChristintendedtheApostles, tohavesuccessorsatall,forit isevidentthatasanApostle mustbecalledpersonallyby Christ,andmustbeawitness ofHisResurrectionandlife andbeendowedwithpersonal infallibilityandthepowerof workingmiracles,hecannot haveasuccessorinhisoffice.

Ifthisisso,thepretensions ofPopeandBishopshaveno foundation."

A.:Theconclusiondoesnot followfromthepremisesatall. Youhaveenumeratedanumber ofqualificationswhichthe Twelvedidinfactpossess.In spiteofthelengthofyourenumeration,youoverlookedthereallyessentialnoteofapostleship, whichiscontainedinthename itself.Anapostleisonewhois sent.ShortlybeforeOurLord's AscensionHegavethemthis sendinginitsfinaldefiniteform. Youwillfindthewordsofthe commissioninthe28th.chapter ofSt.Matthew,verses18-20.

"Allpowerisgiventomeinheavenand.onearth.Goingthereforeteachallnations,baptising theminthenameoftheFather andoftheSonandoftheHoly Ghost,teachingthemtoobserve allthingswhatsoeverIhavecommandedyou;andbeholdIam withyoualldayseventothe consummationoftheworld."

Itisclearfromthelastwords ofthiscommissionthatthe Apostlesweretohavesuccessors inWhatconcernedtheessential partoftheirofficeuntiltheend oftheworld.Theywouldnot livetoseethatday,butthe workthattheyweretocommencewouldbecarriedonby otherstowhomtheywouldcommunicatetheirauthority.

Inadditiontotheseessential powersofteachingwithauthority,administeringthesacramentswhichChristhadinstituted,andrulingtheChurchHe founded,theApostlesalsopossessedacertainnumberofpurelypersonalprivileges,which werenecessaryintheearlydays oftheChurch,butwhichwould notbehandedontothosewho tooktheirplace.Such,forexample,wasthepersonalinfallibilityofeachApostlewhichnow belongstotheRomanPontiff whenexercisinghisofficeofsuccessorofSt.Peter,andtothe Churchasawhole.

Soyourassertionthatthe Apostlescouldnothavesuccessorsrestsonamisunderstanding ofwhatconstitutesApostolic succession.Unlesstherewere tobemenwhowouldtaketheir placesandexercisetheessential powersconferredontheApostlesbyChrist,thenHiswords, whichIhavequoted,wouldbe nonsense.

Yousay:

"How,then,canthePopes claimtobewithtruthsuccessorsoftheApostles?"

A.:Inpointoffact,thePopes claimtobethesuccessorsofSt. Peter,thePrinceoftheApostles.TheBishopsarethesuccessorsoftheotherApostles. TheproofthatthePopesarein factthesuccessorsofSt.Peter isfoundedonthewordsinwhich ChristconferredonSt.Peterthe primacyintheChurchwhichHe founded.Thisprimacy,asHis wordsclearlyindicate,wasto enduretotheendof4ime If thisistobetruethen,sinceSt. Peterwastodieabouttheyear 67,hispowerasPrimateofthe Churchmustpasstoalineof successorstobecontinuedtothe endoftime.

WasSt.PeterEverinRome?

Youconclude,saying:

"Also.howcouldPeterhethe firstPopeofRome,when thereisnoauthenticevidence thathewaseverinRome?"

A.:MightIsuggestthatlogic doesnotseemtobeyourstrong suit.Evenifitwereafact thattherewasnoauthenticevidencethatPeterwaseverat Rome,thatwouldnotprovehe hadneverbeenthere.Itwould onlyprovethat,ifhehadbeen there,theevidencehadbeenlost. However,yourstatementisfalse inanycase.Thereisquite goodauthenticevidencethat PeterwasinRome.MightI askdidyouevermakeanyattempttoexaminetheevidence?
