Onaskingmyfriendswhy CatholicsworshipMary,1 wastoldthattheydonot. Then,whyisitthatthey make,againstthesecond Commandment, graven imagesinthelikenessof Mary?

A.:TheBlessedVirginisa creatureofGod,andhasbeen greatlyhonouredbyGod.She

is,aswereadintheGospel,"full Jfgrace,"sheistheMotherof God,sheis"blessedamongstwomen.""Hethatismightyhas (lonegreatthingstoher."Consequently,Catholicshavethe highestpossibleregardforher, forhergodness,forhergreatness,andforherpowerasan :ntercessor.But,Catholicsknow thatsheremainsacreatureof AlmightyGod,thatsheremains whatshecallsherself,"the handmaidofGod."

Youaskwhywemakegraven imagesinherrikeness,andas.ertthatthisiscontrarytothe secondCommandment.Youare mistaken.ThesecondCommandmentforbidsustomakegraven :magestoadorethem,asdid thepagansandidolatorsinthe primitivetimes.Goddoesnot forbidustousepicturesor statuesinordertohelpusto drinkofthosepeoplewhomthe picturesandstatuesrepresent.

Youaskagain:

WhydoCatholicsomitthe originalsecondCommandment?

A.Wedonot.ReadChapter 20oftheBookofExodus.There youwillfindthetenCommandments.Theyarenot,youknow, dividedupwithnumeralsin frontofeachoneofthem.The lastCommandmentgivencontainstwoessentialpoints,that wemustacknowledgeandworshipthetrueGod,andthatwe mustavoidfalsegods.Weread: IamtheLordThyGod,Who broughttheeoutofthelandof Egypt,outofthehouseofbondage.Thoushaltnothavestrange godsbeforeMe.Thoushaltnot maketothyselfagraventhing, northelikenessofanything whichisinheavenabove,oron theearthbeneath,norofthose thingsthatareinthewaters undertheearth.Thouthaltnot adorethemnorservethem.

Protestantsfrequentlytaught thatthewordsinthefirstCommandmentreferringtoimages constituteasecondCommandment.TheCatholicChurchincludesthesewordsinthefirst Commandment.Catholicsdonot omitanyCommandment.

Youaskagain: DidtheCatholicChurch changethesabbathdayto Sunday.andifso,why?

Youaskagain: MymotherdoesnotunderstandwhyaCatholicshould havetoconfesshersinsto apriest.Whycanshenot confessthemstraightto God?

A.:BecauseChristOurLord institutedthesacramentofConfession.HesaidtotheApostles: "ReceivetheHolyGhost;whose sinsyoushallforgive,theyare forgiventhemAndwhosesins youshall tained."retain,theyarere-

A.:Itisnotstatedexplicitly intheBiblethatOurBlessed Ladywastakenafterherdeath bodyandsoulintoheaven. Weare,however,taughtin theBiblethatdeath,andthe corruptionofthegrave,arethe penaltiesofsin.Wearealso taughtthatOurBlessedLady wasfullofgrace,wasblessed amongallwomen,thatHethat ismightyhasdonegreatthings toher,thatsheistheMother ofGod.Shewasconceived withoutsin,andneverinher lifedidsheoommitanysin.There is,however,thereforenoreason whysheshouldpaythepenalty ofsin;thatis,whysheshould dieorseethecorruptionofthe tomb.Thereis,however,anotherreasonwhysheshoulddie.

FreemasonryisanAntiCatholicReligion NoCatholicMayBelongto theCraft

"TrueCatholic,"Geraldton, writes:Canyoutellmewhy Freemasonryisforbiddenby ourChurch?

A.:Catholicsareforbiddento bemembersofanyMasonic Lodge,becauseCatholicismand Freemasonryareirreconcilable, afactwhichisadmittedbyMasonicwriters.Masonryclaimsto beauniversalreligion,voidof dogma,ignoringChrist,ignoring allsupernaturalrevelation, faith,grace,andSacraments.Its onlyandsufficientbeliefisin theGreatArchitect,asHeis knownfromtheconstructionof theworld.Fortherest,revealedreligiousteachingsareofno consequences,Masonry,therefore,standsforsupremeindifferenceinreligiousbelief---and istheveryantithesisof CatholicbeliefandofthesupernaturalreligiontaughtbyOur DivineLord,DuringtwocenturiestheMasonicLodgeshave beenthecentreofthemost virulentattacksontheCatholic Churchinmanypartsofthe world.ThespokesmenofMasonryhavemadenosecretof theiraim.SenatorDelpech,the PresidentoftheGrandOrientin France,saidinaspeeendeliveredonSeptember20,1902: "ThetriumphoftheGalilean (i.e.ChristOurLord)haslasted manycenturies,butnowHedies inHisturn.Hepassestojoin thedustofotherdivinitiesof India,GreeceandRome,who sawsomanydeceivedcreatures prostratebeforetheirthrones.

BrotherMasons,werejoicethat wearenotwithoutoursharein thisoverthrow'offalseprophets. TheCatholicChurchbeganto decayfromthedaytheMasonic Associationwasestablished."

TheSwissMasonicLodgedeclared:"Wehaveoneirreconcilableenemy-thePopeandClericalism."Again,theGrandOrient inFrancesaid:"Theaimofthe GrandOrientistocrushCatholicisminFrancefirst,andthen eisewhere."

MasonicjournalsinEngland havesaidthatEnglishMasonry didnotagreewiththeseextravagantstatements.Anditis truethatmanyindividual Masonsdonotsharetheseextravagantviews.ButtheChurcn isnotatwarwiththeseindividualmen;shelegislatesagainst thethingwhichisMasonry acodeofreligionwhichisantiChristianandanti-Catholic,A certainAlbertPike,oneofthe leadersofMasonryinAmerica forover30years,andanhonorarymemberofnearlyevery supremeMasonicCouncilinthe world,repliedtotheprotestof theEnglishLodge.Hesaid:"It isidletoprotest.Weare Masons,andwerecognisethe FrenchbrotherhoodasMasons. Oursisauniversalfraternity."

TheCatholicChurchtherefore condemnsMasonry,itssecret oathanditsanti-Christianreligion.NoCatholicisallowedto becomeaMason,andheisexcommunicatedifhedoesso.

Youcontinue,andsaythatyou haveaCatholicfriendwhoisa Mason. A.IfyouhaveaCatholic friendwhoisaMason,thenhe isexcommunicatedfromhis Church.TheChurchcannotbut forbidCatholicstojointhe avowedenemyoftheirChurch andoftheirreligion.AsIhave shownyou,inEurope,Masonry aimsatthedestructionofthe CatholicChurch.Thereareof

course,manyindividualMasons inAustraliawhoarefreefrom thisaim,'but,theChurchcannot distinguishbetweenMasonsof onecountryandanother.They allclaimandboastoftheir world-widesolidarity,andall mustfallundertheonecondemnationofMasonry.

Contraceptives andMixed Marriage

"AlwaysInterested,"writes: Willyoutellmewherein theBibleitsaysthatthe useofcontraceptivesis againsttheWillofOur HeavenlyFather?

A,TheBibleforbidsthispracticeexplicitlyandimplicitly,It doessoimplicitlywhenitcommandsustoobservethenatural law.Then,theBibleforbidsthe thingexplicitly,asyoucanread intheBookofGenesisCh.38,V. 10,wherewereadthatOnan wasslainbyGodforthissin. "AndthereforetheLordslew him,becausehedidadetestable thing."

Youaskagain: WhenaCatholicmarriesa non-Catholicwhyarethey marriedatthesidealtar?

A.BecausetheChurchdoes notwanttoencouragemixed marriages.Statisticsshowthat thegreatmajorityofthesemarriagesarenothappyones.They showthatthemajorityofchildrenofsuchmarriageslosetheir faith.Consequently,theChurch mustfacethefacts.Herlegisiationisveryunpopular,butit isright.Shedoernotcastany reflectiononthenon-Catholic partyinthemarriage,whomay beanexcellentpersonBut marriedlife,wherehusbandand wifedifferonthemostsacred thingsinlife,wheretheydiffer onquestionsoffaithandmorals, beginswithaverygreathandicap,andfiguresprovethatthe differencebringsaboutunhappinessinthemajorityofcases, andalsobringsaboutthelossof faithandofthepracticeofthe worshipofAlmightyGod,For thesereasons,theChurchgives herconsenttosuchmarriages reluctantly,andshowsherreluctancebyhavingthemarriage celebratednotatthehighaltar oftheChurch,butintheSacristy.
