AsfromJuly1ofthisyear,thereareseveralveryimportantnewregulationsrelatingtothecelebrationofMarriage.

Theseregulationscameintoforcebyvirtueofan"Instruction"fromtheSacredCongregationofSacramentsin1941,but onaccountofthewar,fulldetailshaveonlyrecentlyarrived inAustralia.

Asamatteroffactthenecessityofcarefulinvestigationhas longbeenrecognised,andthese investigationshavebeencarried outbytheparishpriests.Now theseinvestigationsmustbein writingandthepriestsmust preserveawrittenrecordofthe questionsaskedandtheanswers received.

Priestswillbeboundinconsciencetocarryouttheseinvestigations,andthepartiestoan intendedmarriagemustdoallin theirpowertohelphim.Especiallymusttheynotifyhimif thereareanyimpediments throughconsanguinityoraffinity tothemarriage.

"Whatistheideabehindthe useofcandlesintheCatholic Church?"

A.:Theusesofcandlesinthe servicesoftheChurcharemany andvaried.PerhapsfewCatholicsevenrealisehowmuch thecandleentersintothevariousliturgicalservices.Besides beingusedonthealtaratMass andBenediction,theyareused intheadministrationofallthe sacraments,withtheexceptionof theSacramentofPenance.Wheneveradignitaryhastomove aboutheisgivenanescortof acolytesbearingcandles.On HolySaturdaymorningoneof themostbeautifulandmostimpressiveoftheliturgicalceremoniesistheblessingofthePaschalCandle,accompaniedasitis bythesingingoftheExultet. Candlesareburnedinfrontof imagesandpicturesoftheSaints asasignofhonour.Anofferingofcandlesismadebythe candidatesforordinationtothe ordainingbishop,andsoon.

Thosewhoareacquaintedwith pagan pointoutthe., candlesareusedalsoinpagan rites,anddeduce,rightlyenough, thatthereisnothingpeculiarly Christianabouttheuseofcandlesinliturgicaloffice.The truthisthatthepracticewas takenoverandpurifiedandgivenadeepersignificancebythe Church.Itisperhapsworth mentioningthataseven-branch candlestickwasoneoftheornamentsoftheTempleinOldTestamenttimes.

Historicallyitmaywellbe thatthefirstintroductionofcandlesandothersourcesoflight intotheservicesoftheChurch hadautilitarianpurpose.In thedaysoftheearlyChurchin Romeitwasnecessarytohold religiousservicesintheCatacombs,wheresomesourceof lightwasneeded,However,it wasnotlongbeforetheChristiansbegantoattendtothesymbolicsideoftheuseofcandles. Christ'scallingHimselfthe LightoftheWorldwouldbean obviousstartingpointforthe developmentofthesymbolism.

AllegationsoftyrannyandoppressioninNorthernIreland, asbadasanythingtakingplacebehindtheSoviet"IronCurtain"inEurope,weremadeintheHouseofCommonsrecently.

ThedebateintheCommonswasonanamendmenttoaBill authorisingtheBelfastGovernmenttoundertakepublicworksin waterandelectricityschemes.

Theamendment,signedby200M.P.'s,demandedthatnofurtherpowersbegrantedtoNorthernIrelanduntilthepresent powersareuseddemocratically.

CriticismoftheNorthernIrelandGovernmentwasledbyMr. GeoffreyBing,LabourM.P.for Hornchurch.

ReferringtotheCivilAuthorities(SpecialPowers)Act,herecalledthattheHomeSecretary ofNorthernIrelandhadsaid: "ItgivestheHomeSecretary powertodowhateverhelikes,

Mr.Bingdeclared:"Anylegislationwepassto-daymust haveoneprimeobject-thedestructionofblindsectarianism. Iftherecamefromthat FrontBench(theOpposition) onewordofcondemnationofsectarianism,whatadifferencethat wouldmake."

AdefenceoftheNorthernIrelandGovernmentcamefromSir HughO'Neil,M.P.forAntrim, whoclaimedthatthealteration

Thatisquitetrue,butitisalso truethattheScripturesseemto hefrequentlysilentwhereour curiositywouldwishthemto givethegreatestdetail.There probablyisadeepreasonforthis silence.

Nextquestion: "WhenIwasachildIwas toldthatSt.JosephwasOur Lady'scousin.IsthereanythinginTraditionorsomewhereelsetosupportthis statement?"

A.:Well,thereisthis,that commentatorsprettygenerally arguefromwhattheScriptures sayofChristastheSonof David,accordingtotheflesh,to theDavidicaldescentofMary,so thatbothMaryandJosephwould atleasthavebeenofthesame tribe,arelationshipwhichcould bedescribedasakindofcousin. ship.Individualcommentators haveconstructedingeniousargumentsfromthecomparisonbetweenthegenealogyofChristas givenbySt.Matthewwiththat giveninSt.Luke.Theythink thatMaryandJosephhada commonancestornotveryfar back.Theydisagreeaboutthe details.Thefactofthematter isthattheknownfactsabout thefamiliesbothofMaryandof Josephareverymeagreindeed.
