"NotaDeceivedRomanist," SouthPerth,"writes:

"Whyhavethenatives,notablytheSouthAmericanIndians,incountrieswhereyour Churchhashadthesoleresponsibilityofevangelisation, beenboundinignoranceand superstition?"

A.:Onegoodquestiondeservesanother.Imightjustas wellaskyouwhythenativesof variousAfricancoloniesandof certainislandsintheEastIndiesandthePacificgoinfor mumbo-jumbo,forworshipofthe dead,andforsacrificestoanimalspirits.HaveEnglandand HollandandotherProtestant countrieswhocontroltheseregionsbeenconspiringtokeepthe nativeburiedinhissuperstition?

Asamatteroffact,theSouth AmericanIndiansarenotusuallylookeduponasamongthe morebenightedandsuperstitiouspeoples.Theyare,forthe mostpart,agoodpeasantstock, fairlyintelligent,andpossessing cultureoftheiroat.DoubtlessintheremoterpartsofBoliviaandamongthesteaming junglesofBrazilyouwillfold ,omepractices,mostlyharmless andemptyofmeaning,which

Nowpleasedon'timaginethat Iamseriouslyreproachingthese countriesforallowingthenativestocontinueintheirignorance,orblamingtheProtestant missionariesforthesuperstition hichisstillrife.Itwouldbe grosslyunfair,andevenridiculous,todothis.Butthepoint is,youmightjustaswellblame thevariousProtestantchurches forthemumbo-jumboofAfrican tribesorforthepastexploitsof theBorneohead-huntersas blametheCatholicChurchfor thefactthatBolivianpeasants sometimesindulgeinharvestdancesorarenotmuchgivento readingtheweek-endsupplementsofthenewspapers.Iam notaltogethersurethatwein Australiacanlookwithany complacencyonourachievements amongourownaborigines,or comparetheseaboriginesvery favourablywiththeSouthAmericanIndians.Itmightbe pointedout,forinstance,that theinitiationritesoftheArunta tribedonotsavourmuchof sweetnessandlight.Andit wouldbehardtomaintainthat thepoorfellowswhogoaway anddiewhenaboneispointed atthemshow'anysignsofhavingreceivedagoodcollegeeducation.YetifsomeoneaccusedthevariouschurchesinAustraliaofkeepingournatives "boundinignoranceandsuperstition,"Idonotthinkweshould taketheaccusationveryseriously.

Ifyoureadtherealhistoryof ,theevangelisationofSouthand CentralAmerica,youwouldbe filledwithrespectfortheheroismofthosemanymissionaries ofSpainwhogavetheyearsof theirdreadfullyshortlivesto labouringamongfever-ridden junglesoraridwastestobring themessageofChristtothose poorIndianswhosatindarkness andtheshadowofdeath.The fightofthegreatDominican missionary,LasCasas,against slavery,andtheincrediblelaboursoftheJesuit,St.Peter Clover,atCartagena,amongth importedNegroesareamongthe greatgloriesofCatholichistory. ButIamafraidyouwillnever haveheardofthesethings.You appeartotakeyourinformation aboutthehistoryoftheChurch inSouthAmericafromany sourceotherthanthehistory books.

Andyoumustrememberthat theIndiansofSouthAmerica were,onthewhole,convertedto Christianityinalltheirmillions, andtheyremainChristianto thisday.Whenonelooksat whathappenedtotheNorthAmericanIndians,thestoryisvery different.Forlongnoeffort wasmadetoconvertthematall, exceptintheFrenchCatholic settlements.Indeed,theCalvinistsinFloridaseemedto thinktheyhadsomejustifica'ionfortreatingalltheselesser tribeswithoutthelawaspredestinedtohell,andforsending themthereasfastastheycould.

FAILUREOFSCHOLARS

"NotaDeceivedRomanist"has afewmorequestions.Hewrites:

"BytwistingoneofOur Lord'ssayingstoPeter,you claimhimtobethefoundationstoneofyourChurch-its firstPope."

A.:Imustsaythatyoucompelmyadmirationforthedevilmay-carecourageandthecompletefreedomfromintellectual scrupleswithwhichyoumake yourassertions. Ishouldhave thoughtthatiftherewasany twistingdoneonthismatterof OurLord'swordstoSt.Peter, itwasdonebyanybodyrather thanCatholics. Wetakethe wordsintheirstraightforward sense:"ThouartPeter(Kepha inAramaic-OurLord'slanguage),anduponthisrock(Kepha again)IwillbuildMyChurch." IfOurLordisnotsayingthat HewillbuildHisChurchon Peterasuponarock,thenwords meannothing.Atthevery least,theonusofprovingthey meansomethingelseisonthose whodonottakethemintheCatholicsense.Forhundredsof yearsnowProtestantscholars havebeentryingtoexplainthem away,andeverynowandagain anewmethodofgettinground thetextisdiscovered.Onceit wasthefashionamongnon-Catholicstosaythat.OurLordwas referring,nottoPeterhimself, huttohisfaith-adistinction whichcrasslyignorestheplay onthewords,Kepha-Kepha (Peter,Rock).Thenitwas thoughtthattherewasaway outbyinsistingthattheGreek wordsforPeterandrockwere differentintheGospeltext. Howkever,whensomeonepointedouttheobvious,namely,that OurLorddidnotspeakGreeK butAramaic,andinAramaicthe wordsforPeterandrockarethe same,iterasseenthatescapein thisdirectionwascutoff.Then agreatscholarcalledHarnack

TOEXPLAINITAWAY

triedtoshow,intheteethofall theevidencefromthemanuscripts,thatthesewordstoPeter musthavebeenputinbysomeonelongaftertheGospelwas written,withtheexpresspurposeofprovingtheRoman claims.Theinterestingthing aboutthislineofattackisthat itimplicitlyrecognisesthatthe words"ThouartPeter,etc.,"do meanwhatCatholicshavealwaysunderstoodthemtomean. ItwaspreciselybecauseHarnack sawtheoverwhelmingforceof thewordsthathetriedtoshow thattheywerenotgenuine.But, beinganhonestman,hewas graduallyforcedtowithdraw fromhisposition,firstallowing thatthiswordandthenthatwas probablygenuine,untilhehad practicallydesertedhisformer explanation,andrestoredthe wholetext. Alltheseattemptsbynon-Catholicstogetroundtheobvious meaningofthewordshaveprovedunsuccessful.Whetheryou couldcallthesesomanyefforts attwistingtheGospelisanother matter.Iprefernottousea harshwordliketwisting,because IthinkthatmanyofthenonCatholicscholarswhotriedto weakenthesewords,ortointerprettheminstrangeways,orto removethemaltogether,were goodmen,andtheirattempts werenotmadeinbadfaith.It remains,nevertheless,thatthose attemptshavefailed.

Catholicshavealwaysbeen simpleenoughtobelievethat thesewordsmeanwhattheysay. Icouldunderstandifyoureproachedusforbeingexcessivelynaive,orperhapsforbeingtod literalinourunderstandingof thetext,orforputtingtoomuch weightonthisonetext,butwhen youtellusthatwehavetwisted it-weofallpeople-Icanonly commendyoutoallthegodsof commonsense:"Therestissilence."

ScripturalEvidenceofSt. PeterinRome

WITNESSOFARCHAEOLOGY

Youwrite: "ForSt.Peter'spresencein Romeyouhaveonlytradition -noScripturalauthority."

A.:Itdoesn'tmuchmatterto thedoctrineoftheRomanprimacywhetherSt.Petereverset footinRomeornot.Allthe evidencegoestoshowthathe did-thathewasthefirstBishop ofRome-andthereisnota scrapofevidencetothecontrary.ButevenhadSt.Peter remained,say,inAntioch,where hecertainlywasforatime,he couldstillhavemadeprovision forhissuccessorswhoweretobe BishopsofRome.Heknew that,accordingtoOurLord's promise,theChurchwouldendurethroughalltime,andthe gatesofhellwouldforeverfail toprevailagainstit.Heknew, then,thattheheadshipwhich Christhadgivenhimwouldbe continuedafterhislifeinalong lineofsuccessors.Noonein theearlyChurcheverthought ofdisputingthefactthatthese successorswere,infact,the BishopsofRome.

AsfortheproofofSt.Peter's presenceinRome,Ithinkany reasonablemindwillbesufficientlyimpressedbytheevidence fromarchaeologyandunbroken tradition.Youseemtothink thatthereshouldbesomeevidencefromtheScripturesalso. ButthentheNewTestamentwas notwrittenwithaviewtotellinguswhereeachoftheApos- tleswentandwherehewas whenhedied.Theonebook whichrelatessomethingoftheir movements,viz.,theActsofthe Apostles,ismainlyconcerned

St.Peter,anhonourofwhich manycitieswouldhavebeen jealous,couldithavebeendisputed.Andthereiswritten evidencedatingfromwithinthirtyorfortyyearsofSt.Peter's deathabouthispresencein Rome.Afterthatthestreamof testimonyiscontinuous.And forthearchaeologistthematter isbeyonddispute,asoneofthe mostdistinguishedoftheirnumberhasproclaimed.

RENEWEDSTUDYOFBIBLE AMONGCATHOLICS

Finally,youwrite: "Whydidyoudiscouragefree circulationandindividual studyoftheBible?"

A.:Thatisratherlikeasking whycatsdiscouragethefree circulationofmilkorducksdeprecate,theuseofwater.Some weeksagoItoldalistenerthat ifhewantedtostudytheBible heneedonlygoalongtoaCatholicbookshopandbuyone. Andifhewantstomakea choicebetweenseveralversions availabletohim,hecanaskadvicefromanypriest.ThroughouttheCatholicworldgroupsof laymenareformingforthe sudyoftheScriptures,andnew Scripturalreviewsarecomingto light.Moreover,inrecentyears thePopehasbeenurgingtherenewedstudyoftheScriptureson thewholeCatholicworld.In-

Thetranscendantargument, shebelieves,islove."Loveis thewordthatbegetsgraceand gracealoneilluminesandlifts theintellect.So,intheend,all conversionsareeffectedthrough love.

"Themindishungryfortruth, butthesoulisathirstforlove. Anditisthesoulthatmustbe touched."

'TheBookofthePsalmsin LatinandEnglish"isyetanother exampleoftheirfinework.It isaveryattractivebook,well printedandeasytoread.This ismorethanamerebook.It issomethingwehavebeeneagerlyawaitingforsomeyears.

Fromtheearliestdaysof ChristianitythePsalmshave hadaplaceofspecialprunnneme inChristianlifeandworship.In thosedaystheywerereal,:owed and,aboveall,understoodbythe faithful.

Inthesedays,however,they arenotunderstood,andconsequentlyneitherreadnorappreciated.TheoldVulgatetext presentedmanydifficulties,and 1wellrememberhowseriousstudentsusedtobuymassivepsalterswithwidebordersjustso theycouldwritecorrectionsand explanationsinthemargins,and thusunderstandbetterthesacred songsofthe"ChosenPeople."

Withtheobjectofmakingthe psalmsmoregenerallyintelligible,thePontificalBiblicalInstitutehaspreparedanewtranslationbasedontheoldestsurvivingmanuscripts.Thisnew translationhasreceivedtheap- provalofPopePiusXli.,andis herepublishedforthefirsttime inGreatBritain.Rt.Rev.MonsignorRonaldKnox(already famousforhisclassicaltranslationoftheNewTestament)has preparedtheEnglishtranslation andnotes.Iwillnotgosofar astosaythatthisisthebook thatwillbringthePsalmsback intocurrentuseamongthe faithful,butIwillgosofaras toassertthatthosepeoplewho havebeenrecitingthemforsome timeintheDivineOfficeorprivateprayers,willgetadeeper andtruerappreciationofthem throughthisbook,andthosewho arejuststartingtheirstudyof thePslamshaveinthislittle workthebesttextandthebest translationwehavehadsofar. -ROGET.
