"J.T.,"ofKalinga,haswritten askingforanoutlineoftheoriginanduseofthevestments wornbythepriestatHolyMass.

Ashadbeensaidsooften-the Massgoesbacktotheinstitution byOurLordoftheBlessedEucharist;whenpriestssayMass theyarecarryingoutHisinjunction-"DothisforacommemorationofMe."NowtheApostlesandthebishopsconsecrated bythemsaidMassintheordinarylayclothesofthetime.And thereinbriefistheanswerto yourquestion.TheChurch neveradoptedspecialgarments. orvestments,foruseatthe altar.ThepriestusedhisordinarylayclothestosayMass. butafteratimethecustomgrew upofkeepingaspecialsuitof clothesforuseduringMass.But fashionsinlaydressarealways changing,andsincetheclothes setasideforuseatthealtar wereusedfornootherpurpose, theybecameoutofdate,and peoplebecameaccustomedto seeingthe''oldfashions-in Church,andnaturallyaftera whileitwouldseemunfittingto useanyotherstyleofcostume. Sothestyleofgarmentsusedat thealtarremainedthesame. Thesuccessivechangeoffashionshasgoneonforsomany centuriesthatthevestments usedatMassnolongerbearany resemblancetolaydress.There isanotherfactor,too,thattendedtoemphasisethedifference; thefaithfulChristiansnaturally wishedthatthepriestshouldbe dressedinamannerbefittingthe sacredfunctionshewastoperformatthealtar,sogradually thepracticegrewupofmakingthevestmentsasbeautifulas possible;inthecourseoftime everyformofornamentation andembroiderythatthedevout mindcoulddevisehasbeenused toenrichthepriestlyvestments, butthevestmentsthemselves haveretained,incutanddesign, theiroriginalformandarestill recognisableasthelaydressof theancientworld.Thevestmentsare:

Onelastquestiontobeansweredisthis:

HISTORY.

"FromwhatperiodoftheRomanEmpiredothesevestmentsdate?"

A.:Aswehaveseen,theprincipalvestmentisasurvivalof acloakworninpre-Christian times.Butingeneralwemay saythatourmodernvestments aretheclotheswornbyChristiansthroughouttheRoman Empire,whichextendedfrom SyriatoEnglandandfromBelgiumtoEgypt,inthe2nd.,3rd., and4th.centuries. Such,then,inbrief,istheoriginofthevestmentswornat Massto-day.Theyremindus thattheCatholicChurchgoes backrighttothetimewhen

ChristOurLordreferredtothe RomanEmpire:GiveuntoCaecar,whenHesuffereddeathundersentencefromthatEmpire, whenHisApostlePaulclaimed therightsofRomancitizenship, butremindedtheChristiansthat theyallpossessedahighercitizenship,thatoftheKingdomof Heaven.Andifthegreat Christianleadersoftheancient

THEFLOOD.

Thenextquestion,from "Antediluvian,"ofFremantle;is this:

"Ihavealwaysthoughtthat 'TheFlood'wasgeneral,butin arecentdiscussion,someheld theopinionthatitwaslocal, becausetheaccountinthe BiblewaswrittenbyaHebrewwhowouldhaveno knowledgeof,forinstance, America.WhatistheteachingoftheChurchonthis point,andalsotheapproximatedateoftheflood?"

A.:Yourfriendsmayberight indenyingthatthedelugewas overthewholeearth,butthe reasontheygiveisnotagood one.Ofcourse,thesacred writersusetheirownnatural knowledgeacquiredbyordinary observation,e.g.,inwritinghistory.Butwecannotregardall theirknowledgeasnaturallyacquired.Godoftenrevealedto themeventsdistantintimeand place,andpropheciesareusuallyaboutsuchfutureeventsas couldbeknownonlythrough Revelation.SoifAmericahad beencoveredbytheFlood,even thoughthesacredwriterhadnot naturalknowledgeoftheexistenceofthatcountry,Godcould easilyhaverevealedtohimits existenceandsubmersion.

RESTRICTEDSENSE.

Butonthequestionoffact,we maysaythatthestatementsin theBibledonotnecessarilyimplygeographicaluniversality. suchphrasesasarefoundinthe context,e.g.,thewaterswere uponthewholeearth,occurfrequentlyinScripture,notinalitteralsense,butonlyofthe wholeneighbourhoodspokenof inthecontext.Weread,for example,,inGenesis41/54,"The famineprevailedinthewhole world."Thephrasemeansonly inthelandoftheJews,asthe writerhimselftellsusthatthere wasastoreinEgypt.Sowe readinActs2/5"thatatthefirst PentecosttherewereinJerusalemmenofeverynationunder heaven,"thoughhisownlist showsthattheSacredwriter doesnotmeanbythephrase thattherewerethereChinese, Japanese,British,Australian aboriginals.Theidiomiscommoninalllanguages.Atthe timeIamwritingthislettera friendfromtheEasternStates Writesme:"Therearefloods everywhere."Iknowwell whatmyinformantmeans.He isspeakingoffloodsscatteredup anddowntheEasternStates.He andIknowthathereinPerth we'vealmostforgottenwhatrain lookslike!Hisword,"everywhere,"isnottobetakenlitterally.Inthesameway,your friendsarequitejustified.in holdingthatthefloodmaynot havecoveredallthecontinents oftheglobe,andIthinktheir viewisacommonone.

Ontheotherhand,thewhole Catholictraditionholdsthat thefloodwasuniversalinthe sensethatitsubmergedtherace ofmenexceptthosepreserved intheArk.Suchcertainly seemstobethesenseofboththe

VenerableBrethren:

TheHolyYear,whichisin thecourseofpassing,has alreadyfurnishedUsmorethan onereasonforjoyandconsolation.ToRome,whencethelight oftheGospelteachingradiates sincetheoriginsoftheChurch, multitudesofthefaithfulhave streamedfromallpartsofthe world.Theyhavecometothe SeeofPeternotonlytoredeem theirownfaults,butalsoto expiatethesinsoftheworld andimplorethereturnofsocietytoGod,fromWhomalone cancometruepeaceofheart, civilconcordandthewell-being ofnations.

TherecentexcavationsunderSt.Peter's Basilicahavetakenusbacktothedawn oftheChristianera.

ByRev.FrancisX.Murphy,C.SS.R. Inauguratedatthebeginning ofthepresentPontiff'sreign, theseinvestigationswerepursuedwithaboldnesscharacteristicofHisHolinessPopePius XII'srealisticapproachtothe modernworld.Atthesametime, theyhaveprovedtobeasource ofgreatconsolationtothe Christianworldatlarge,linking astheydothepresentgenerationwiththatofthePrinceof theApostles,atatimewhen thepressureofmountingpersecutioncanonlybeoffsetbya convictionbasedontheindestructibilityoftheChurchas experiencedbytheearliest Christians.

Tenyears'diggingsbeneath thegreatbasilicaatthecentre ofwesternChristendomhavere_ vealedanancientRomancemeterythatranalongaslopeof VaticanHill,andwhichwasin useduringthefirstthreecenturiesoftheChristianera.It containstombsandburialurns, mosaicsanddecorativedevices ofancientpaganaswellasof earliestChristianculture.These diggingshavenowlaidbarethe foundationsofEmperorConstantine'sbasilicabuiltroundthe originaltombofSt.Peter.

EVIDENCE"INCONTESTABLE."

Romewaslikewisesackedon severaloccasionsinthecourse ofboththefifthandtheninth centuries.ThoughinalllikelihoodtheactualtombofPeter wasnottouched,thereisstill tobeconsideredthefactthat intheLateran,arelicthat purportstobetheheadofthe Apostleisondisplay.

Mostprobably,ofcourse,if thetombofPeterhasnowbeen opened,ithasbeenfoundempty, forasoneoftheVatican archeologists,theJesuitFather Kirschbaum,warns:"Whenwe speakofthetomboftheApostle,wearenottoimaginethat thereshouldbefound,atwho knowswhatdepth,acoffinin whichiscontainedabodymiraculouslyincorruptoverthe courseofnineteenhundred years;but,asinthecaseofthe greaternumberoftombsof saintsandheroesofhistory,we shouldsay:hereistheplace wheretheboneshavebecome dust,andwherethePrinceof theApostleswillonedayce- lebratehisgloriousresurrection."

In1594,whenPopeClement VIIIhadthepresentmainaltar inSt.Peter'sbuiltimmediately overitspredecessor-thework ofCallistusIIin1122-the Pontiffrefusedtoallowany tamperingwiththefoundations ofthataltar,whichrestedupon anoriginalputinplacebyorder ofPopeSilvester(314-336)and wasprobablyreornamentedby GregorytheGreat(590-604). Severalpagancoffinsandtombs weredugupin1615and1626, andhelpedtoconvincethehistoriansofthetimethatPeter's tomblayinanancientpagan cemetery,whichwasinuse untilatleastthethirdcentury.

Ancienttradition,modifiedto someextentbyrenaissance scholarship,maintainedthat Constantinehadbuilthisbasilicaoveratleastonewallof theCircusofGaiusandNero. Thistheoryprovedfalse,when notracewhateverwasfound ofthattheatreofsport.Instead, conclusiveevidencewasproduceddemonstratingthatConstantinehadselectedthesiteof theancientRomancemeteryon theVaticanhill,levellingan immenseplainbyloppingoff thetopoftheheight,andfillinginthemausoleum-cladravine,andusingasanaxisfor hisnewbasilicathbpavement ofonetomb-thatinwhichlay theremainsofSt.Peter.

"Listener's"queryconcerns heImmaculateConceptionof OurBlessedLady. "Whatdoyoumeanwhenyou sayMarywasbornwithout originalsin?Wouldyouplease explainthereasonforthisbelief?"

A.:ForsafetysakeIthinkI hadbettertrytoexplainfirst whatweunderstandbyoriginal sin.Asyouknow,whenGod createdAdam,Hecreatedhimin thestateofsanctifyinggrace Adamwasputonprobation.God gavehimacommand.Had Adamobeyedthatcommandall thedescendantsofAdamwould havebeenborninthestateof sanctifyinggrace.Theywould haveinheritedgracefromhim. Adam,however,didnotobey thecommandGodgavehim,and asaresulthelostsanctifying graceforhimselfandalsoforall hisposterity.Theresultisthat weareallbornwithoutthisgift ofgrace,or,aswesay,inthe stateoforiginalsin.Thename isperhapsunfortunate,since originalsinissomethingtotally differentfrompersonalsin, whichiswhatwenaturally thinkofwhenweusetheword sin.

REASONABLEGOAL.

Henceifwehadonlyreason toguideurkwewouldconclude thatGodintendedmantocome tothekindofknowledgeand loveofHimselfthatwouldbe withinman'snaturalpowers. SuchaknowledgeofGodwould beofthekindthatwehavein thislifebytheuseofourreason,namely,theknowledgewe getofGodfromthecontemplationofHiscreatures.Itwould bethekindofknowledgewe haveofacausebyobservingits effects.However,God,when Hemademan,wentverymuch furtherthanthat.Hegave managiftwhichwasabove anythingduetohimonaccount ofhisrationalnature.Hemade mancapableofatotallydifferentkindofknowledgeofGod, thekindwhichdoesnotinvolve anyarguingfromeffecttocause, aknowledgewhichisimmediate andwhichwecallvision,orseeingGod,notasHemanifests Himselfinanythingoutsideof Himself,butas'HeisinHimself.

SANCTIFYINGGRACE.

pensationtheordinaryremedy isthesacramentofbaptism: Christhasdeterminedthatitis bymeansofthissacramentthat thesavingeffectsofHisdeath aretobeappliedtothesoulsof thechildrenofAdam.

NowIthinkyououghttobe abletounderstandwhatwe meanwhenwesaythatMary wasbornfreefromoriginalsin. Actuallywesaymorethanthat. WesaythatMarywasconceivedfreefromoriginalsin.We holdthatthatisasingularprivilegebelongingtoheralone. St.JohntheBaptist,thoughconceivedinoriginalsin,wasfreed fromthisincapacityforthesupernaturalbeforebirth.You probablyremembertheincident narratedintheGospelwhenhis mothertoldMaryhowthechild hadjumpedforjoyatthesound ofhersalutation.Atthatmomentsanctifyinggracewasinfusedintothesouloftheyet unbornchild.

InMary'scase,however,there wasneveramomentwhenher soulwaswithoutthelifegiving giftofsanctifyinggrace.That iswhatwemeanwhenwespeak oftheImmaculateConceptionof Mary.Shewas,ofcourse,a descendantofAdam,andthereforeinneedofredemption.Unlikealltheothermembersofthe humanraceherredemptiontook placeatthefirstinstantofher existence,sothatatnotimewas hersoulwithoutgrace.You ask:

REASON.

"Whatisthereasonforour belief?"

A.:Well,verybriefly,webelievethistruthsimplybecauseit isrevealedbyGodandthatitis sorevealedisguaranteedbythe infallibledeclarationofthe supremeteachingauthorityof theChurch.

Beinginthestateoforiginal sinmeansbeingincapableof doinganythingatalltowards theattainingofourdestiny, namely,thevisionofGod,the seeingofGodinheavenasHeis inHimself.Perhapswhat 1 meanwillbeclearerifItryto explaintoyouwhatsanctifying graceis. Sanctifyinggraceis oneofthosethingswhichwe callsupernaturalinthestrictest senseoftheword.Supernatural,ofcourse,meansaboveand beyondthenatural.Iwonder ifyouhaveeverreflectedon themeaningofthatwordnatural.Everythingthatcomes underourObservationhasacertainnatureandthatnaturedeterminesthekindofactionsof whichthethingiscapable.Take man,forinstance.Heismade upofbodyandsoul.Theseelementsgotomakeuphisnature andfromtheiruniontherearise, asamatterofcourse,certain powersandpropertiesbyreason ofwhichmaniscapableofdoing certainthings.Heiscapableof manualworkandofintellectual work.Becausehehasanintellecthecaneffectimprovements inhisenvironment.Hecan makeprogress.Theseactivitiesarenaturalto.him.They wouldnotbenaturaltoanirrationalanimal.Allthesepowersareduetomanbecausehe hassuchanature.Grantedthat Godchosetocreatesuchabeing asmanwithanintellectcapable ofpossessingtruthandawill directedtotheattainmentof good,GodowedittoHimselfto makeitpossibleformantoarriveattheknowledgeandlove

ButaJesuitscholar,Father Nell-Breuning,clarifiedtheissuesinawidely-quotedarticle tellingwhattherightofjoint decisionsmeansandwhatit doesnotmean,andtowhatextentitshouldbeappliedinthe variedkindsofbusinessundertakingsandindustrialplants.

"Thebigproblem,ofcourse, isthequestionofhowtheright shouldbeimplementedinpracticalreality,"vlishopMuench wrote."Thisisunderstudy.A numberofinterestingproposals havebeenputforward,among themthatoftheInstituteofthe GermanLeagueofTrade Unions.

EnOlishPriestChallengesAnglican Archbishop (N.C.W.C.NewsService)

LONDON,April10.-AnglicanArchbishopofYork,Cyril Garbett,hasbeenchallengedbytheRev.JohnHe.enan,a notedCatholicbroadcasterandlecturer,toproducefigures whichwillprovearecentstatementhemadethat"thereis two-waytrafficonthehighwaybetweenCanterburyand Rome,andmanyleaveRoutefortheChurchofEngland."

TheAnglican,whoisPrimate ofEngland,asdistinguished fromthePrimateofAllEngland,theAratibishopofCanterbury,madethisassertionin adiocesanletter,commenting ontherecentVaticanstatement onco-operationwithnon-Catholics.

Hestatedintheletter:"I knowofmanywhoinrecent yearhavejoinedourChurch andIhavelettersfromothers, ex-Romans,whohavefoundin theChurchofEnglandtheir spiritualhome,aswellasfrom clergywhoarefrequentlypreparingRomanCatholicsfor admission."

FatherHeenan,whoissuperioroftheCatholicMissionarySociety,inareplypublishedintheUniverse,London Catholicweekly,stated:

"Dr.Garbettseriouslymisleadshisreaders.Hemaywell besincerewhenhedeclares thatonthehighwaybetween CanterburyandRomethereis atwo-waytraffic.Butthisisto suggestthatasmanyarereceivedintotheChurchfrom Anglicanism.

"Thisissimplynottrue. EveryCatholicpriestandevery Protestantpersonknowsthatit isnottrue.Dr.Garbetthimself mustknowthatitisnottrue,

TheAnglican,whoisPrimate ofEngland,asdistinguished fromthePrimateofAllEngland,theArchbishopofCanterbury,madethisassertionin adiocesanletter,commenting ontherecentVaticanstatement onco-operationwithnon-Catholics.

Hestatedintheletter:"I knowofmanywhoinrecent yearhavejoinedourChurch andIhavelettersfromothers, ex-Romans,whohavefoundin theChurchofEnglandtheir spiritualhome,aswellasfrom clergywhoarefrequentlypreparingRomanCatholicsfor admission."
