"Heappearedtotheelevenand upbraidedthemfortheirineredulityandhardnessof heart."

-MarkXVI.

ThisisoneofthelastutterancesofOurLordbeforeHis ascension;afterallthewonders theyhadwitnessedsomestillrefusedtobelieve,somedenied Himbecauseofthehardnessof heart.Hisenemieshadcleverlycontrivedtheirfalsestatementsandhadsucceededinmakingevensomeofthedisciplesbelievethereportsoftheguards whohadacknowledged'theyhad beenasleeponthemorningof theResurrection.Butonlyten daysaftertheAscensionmore than5,000wereconvertedand fivethousandonthefollowing day.Within300yearsmore thantwelvemillionmartyrslaid clowntheirlivesintestimonyof thatfaiththathadbeengiven tothembytheSonofGod.

Ofcoursewecanhaveseveral kindsoffaith.Firstofallwe canhavehumanandfallible faith,thatfaithwhichwehave inourteachersandguides.F6r example,wearetoldthatthesun isabout90,000,000milesfrom theearth.Webelievethisbecauseeminentastronomershave toldus,eventhoughweourselveshavenotmeasuredit.This ishumanfaithand,asexperience hastaughtus,isveryfallible.

ThenwehaveDivineandInfalliblefaith,afaiththatisbasedontheinfallibilityofGod Himself.

Iftothisbeaddedthemedium bywhichtheDivineauthority forcertainstatementsisputbeforeus,viz.,theCatholicChurch, wehaveDivineCatholicFaith.

TWOASPECTS.

Subjectivelyfaithstandsfor thatvirtueorhabitbywhichwe assenttothosetruths.

Faithinthissensehasbeen definedasthatsupernaturalvirtuebywhichwebelievefirmly allthetruthsthatGodhasrevealedbecauseHe,theinfallible Truth,hasrevealedthemtous. ThesetruthstheChurchproposestoourbelief,andwebelievethemforthesolereason thatGodproposesthemtoour belief.

FAITHAVIRTUE.

Faithisatheologicalvirtue, becauseithasGodforitsobject itiscalledinfusedbecauseitis infusedintooursoulbytheSacramentofBaptism. Byitwebelieveallthetruths thatGodhasrevealed.Each andeveryoneofthemisgivento usbyHisauthority,andeach andeveryoneofthemmustbe believed.Wearenotatliberty tochoosesomeandrejectothers.

Everyvirtueistheperfection ofsomefaculty,butfaithresults fromthecombinedactionoftwo faculties:theintellect,which elicitstheact,andthewillwhich movestheintellecttodoso.

Throughouttheworldto-day wehavefourmainclassesof men.

(a)Wehavethosewholive orbelievetheylivebythelight ofintellect.

(b)Thosewhoareinfluenced chieflybytheirfeelings.

(c)Thosewhoareinfluenced bytheirmaterialsurroundings.

(d)Thosewhoareinfluenced bytheiranimalinstincts. Thesearethemenwhomwe meeteverydayatwork,andwe canrecognisethemaccordingto thesecategories.Thesearethe menwhodeclarethatweCatholicsareblind,thatweareasked tobelievethingsthatarecontrarytoreasonandexperience.

Thelossoffaithsimplymeans thatGod'sgiftiswithdrawn. Thisisusuallyapunitiveaspect, asSt.Augustinesaid,"Hewill notdesertHisownworkifHe benotdesertedbyHisown work."

"Scientist,"MontLawley:

"Whatissupernature?"

A.:Supernatural,asitisused intheology,meanswhatisabove nature,whatagivennaturehas norighttodemand.Different kindsofcreatureshavedifferent natures,somenaturesbeing higherandnoblerthanothers.

Similarly,itisconceivablethat someactivitywhichisabove man'spowersmightbenatural tosomehigherkindofcreature suchasanangel.

VariousMeaningsofthe Term"Supernatural"

ChristiansShareintheDivineNature

"Scientist,"MontLawley: "Whatissupernature?"

A.:Supernatural,asitisused intheology,meanswhatisabove nature,whatagivennaturehas norighttodemand.Different kindsofcreatureshavedifferent natures,somenaturesbeing higherandnoblerthanothers. Thuswhatmightbeanatural poweroranaturalachievement foronekindofcreaturewouldbe abovethenatureofanother.For instance,itisnaturalformanto expresshisthoughtsinwords, andthustoexchangeideaswith othermen.Thatisnotnatural forahorse;suchafacilityisin nowise"due"toequinenature. Similarly,itisconceivablethat someactivitywhichisabove man'spowersmightbenatural tosomehigherkindofcreature suchasanangel.

Whenwelookintothematter morecloselywefindthatwehave todistinguishtwokindsofsupernaturalness.Somethingsare sodivinethattheyarenot"due" toanycreature,howevernoble icsnature;norcantheybeeachievedbythenaturalpowersof anycreature,norevenbythe powersofallcreationputtogether.Suchthingsaresupernaturalinthefullestsenseof theword;theyareaboveall creatednature.Anexample wouldbetheimmediatevisionof GodasHeisinHimself.

Thereareotherthingswhich aresupernaturalsofarasman's natureisconcerned,butnot necessarilysupernaturalinres BardtothewholeofGod'screation,Theserelativelysupernaturalgiftsareoftencalledpreternaturaltodistinguishthem fromwhatisabsolutelysupernatural.Anexampleofsucha preternaturalgiftwouldbethe giftofbodilyimmortalitywhich wasrivenbyGodtoAdamon conditionthatheremainedfaithfultoHiscommands.Bodily immortalityisnotduetomanby virtueasarationalanimal;for man'sbody,likethatofevery otheranimal,containswithinitselftheprinciplesofdecayand fnaldissolution.Ontheother hand.thereisnocogentreason forthinkingthatGodcouldnot

makeabodythatwouldbenaturallyimmortal.Hencewesay thatbodilyimmortalityisnotan absolutelysupernaturalgift; thoughitissupernaturalinso farasman'snatureisconcerned. Againagiftthatisquitenaturalinitselfmaybeacquiredin asupernaturalmanner.Forinstance,theabilitytospeaka foreignlanguageisanatural gift.Peoplecanacquireitfor themselvesiftheytakethenecessarytimeandtrouble.Weread intheActsoftheApostles,however,thattheApostlesonsome occasionsgotthegiftoftongues ready-madefromGod,andthus wereabletopreachtheGospelto peoplewhoselanguagetheyhad neverlearned.Thatwouldbe anexampleofanaturalgiftacquiredinasupernaturalorpreternaturalmanner.

Sofardhavebeentryingto explainthemeaningof"supernatural"inanegativeway,by tellingyouwhatitis,notrather thanwhatitis.Canweform anykindofpositive-conceptof thesupernatural?Wellperhapswecangetaninklingfrom revelationinSt.Peter'ssecond letter.Inthefirstchapter,the fourthverse,hetellsusthatthe supernasuralgiftsreceivedby Christiansmakethemsharersof thedivinenature.Thatisobviouslysomethingthatcannotbe "due"toanycreature.Butwhat doesitmean?Well,itmeans this:thenewlevelofbeingto whichaChristianisraisedby thegiftofsanctifyinggraceand theothergiftsthataccompanyit, canbestbeconceivedasakindof deificationofthecreatures:it givesusalikenesstoGodII:mself.Thoughthispartialdeificationofmanismostcompletely attainedbytheunionofthesoul withGodinthebeatificvisionin Heaven,itisattainedinalesser degreeinthispresentlifebythe giftofsanctifyinggrace,which putsusintotherelationshipof adoptedsonsofGodandheirsof Hiskingdom.

ChineseRedsHoldBishopand SixteenMissionaries

ByRev.PatrickO'Connor,S.S.C.

AccusedbytheJapineseduringthewarofespionageandcollaborationonbehalfofChinese Reds,BishopIgnatiusKrause,of Ltuntehfu,inHopeiProvince,and anumberofhispriests,noware beegheldbyChineseCommun. istsonthefantasticchargeof havingservedas"Japaneseintelligenceagents."

PolishMissionaries.

TheBishop,sixpriestsandone nunhavebeenimprisoned,while onepriestandeightnunshave beendetained.Theyconstitute theentirepersonnelofPolish missionariesinShuntehfu.

ThefantasticaccusationagainsttheBishopandhispriestsappearedinaCommunistEnglishlanguagepropagandarelease, eightweeksafterthemissionarieswereimprisoned,obviously intendedtocounteractAmerican andEuropeanpressreportsof thecurrentpersecutionofreligioninCommunist-heldareasof China.

Headed"PolishCatholicMissionariesplotunearthedinHsingtai"(Hsingtaiisanothername forShuntehfu),theCommunists' releaseallegesthepriests"have madeafullconfessionoftheir crimesofusingtheirpositionsas Catholicmissionariesasamask forJapaneseintelligenceactivitiesandconcealingwarprisonerstoprepareviolenceagainst thelocaldemocratic(meaning Communist)government."

Whattheallegedconfessions specifyisnotstated.Itisknown forcertainthattheRedsresorted totortureandbeatingstoextract "confessionsofguilt"fromthese missionaries,butasfarasis knownthesecrueltieshavefailed intheirpurpose.

"Proofs."

The"proofs"offeredinthe Communists'storyarevagueand someobviouslyarefalse.The onlystatementbearingonespionagethatischargedisthat-1i Polishmissionaryin1938received"aspecialdocument"fromthe JapaneseArmy"toorganisein-

telligence."Thedocumentis notquotedandits.natureisunspecified.

Theonlydocumentobtainedby theBishop,whoevidentlyisthe Polishmissionstrymentioned, fromtheJapanesewasatravel permitissuedthatyearwhenhe camefromtheUnitedStatesto China.MydefiniteinformationisthattheJapaneseat aboutthattimegaoledtwoPolishpriests,triedtokillanother anddestroyedtwochapels,and byface-slappingandfrequent questioningsmanifestedsuspicionofthesemissionaries.

ThoughtheCommunistsrefer toseveraldocuments,onlyone quotationisgiven-asinglesentencepurportedlyfromamissionary'sdiary.Presumably thediarywaswritteninPolish andaPolishresidenttellsme thatintenyearshehasn'tmet oneChinesewhoknewthePolish language. TheCommunists' publicityofficeinexecutiveheadquartersknowsnoneintheCommunistpersonnelwhospeaks Polish.Thetranslationofthat -Polishdiaryinaprovincialtown is perplexing.

HiddeninChurch.

TheCommunistsallegethat43 puppetofficerswerehiddenin theChurchandlatersmuggled away,butthiswouldhavebeena difficultundertakingsincesome domesticswereobligedtolive outsidethecompoundforlackof space.Italsoiswellknown thattheprincipalofficermentioned,Kao,wasinPeipingwhen theRedsenteredShuntehfu.The Polishpriestsalsowereaccused ofhidinganotherpuppetcommanderinYungnien.ButYungnienisnotevenintheBishop's diocese.

TheCommunists'storysummarises:"Morethan20Japaneseintelligenceagentsmasqueradingasmissionariesmade fullconfessions."Actuallythe PolishmissionariesinShuntehfu aretheBishop,sevenpriests andninenuns,atotalof17.The Bishop,sixpriestsandonenun havebeenimprisonedandthe othersareheldinretention.
