"Methinks,"hesays,"our fightingIrishbloodhasturned tomilkandwater."

A.:Howeverthatmaybe,the factremainsthattheburdenof CatholicEducationisresting moreandmoreheavilyonthe shouldersofourCatholicpeople, andthepricetheyarebeing askedtopayinsupportoftheir principlesandtheirfaithisvery great.Howeverthatfacthas notescapedthenoticeofthe authorities,andwhiletheefforts theyaremakingtoredressthe evilarenotasspectacularas

APOSTOLICSUCCESSIONSURVIVEDBAD POPES

Thenextquestionisfrom "NoPopery."Hereitis:

"Howcananeducatedperson likeyoubelieveinthe'ApostolicSuccession,'whenyouare awarethatthePapalchairhas beenoccupiedattimesbyevil men?"

A.:Ifyouhadaclearernotion ofwhatismeantbyApostolic Succession,youwouldbeina positiontounderstandwhyI finditdifficulttounderstand whyanyperson,educatedor otherwise,shoulddoanything butbelieveinit.For,byApostolicSuccession,ismeantsimplythattheBishopsoftheCatholicChurchcantraceback theirauthorityinanunbroken linetoJesusChristandthe Apostles. Ishouldlikeyouto payparticularattentiontothat definition,forwhenyougrasp thatyouhavealltheessentials. AndIshouldlikeyoutonote particularlythatthestressison theauthorityoftheindividuals inthelineofsuccessionandnot, asyouappeartothink,ontheir personalqualities.Itdoesn't costtheHistoriananygreatefforttoadmitthattherehave beensomebadPopes,asthere havebeenbadbishopsandbad priestsandbadmenandwomen amongthelaity.Itisregrettable,ofcourse,butplainforall tosee.Butthefactthatthere havebeensomeunworthyholdersofthePapacydoesn'tfora momentdetractfromthefact thatthepresentHolyFathercan tracehisauthorityindirectand unbrokenlinebacktoSt.Peter who,asyouknow,receivedhis powersdirectfromthehands of tiesChrist.Thepersonalqualioftheholderoftheoffice hasnomoretodowithPapalsuccessionthan,say,theper- sonalqualitiesofaKingof Englandhastodowiththesuccessiontothethrone.There havebeenKingsofEngland whosemoralswerenotabove

(The"ChurchTimes.")Inthe sameway,itissafetosaythat worldlinessofsomeholdersof theofficemakesthesurvivalof thePapacyallthemoreremarkable,andallthemoreevidentlytheworkofGod.If everyPopehadbeenasaint,as indeedsomanyhavebeen,orif theyhadthegiftsofvirtuesof thePopeswhohavereigned withinlivingmemory,thecontinuanceofthelinemighthave beenattributedtosomehuman agency.Butthefactthatthe Papacyhasenduredfor1900 yearsandto-dayenjoysapres- tigepossiblyunrivalledinits longhistory,showsthehand andpowerofGodandismore thansufficienttowarrantthe acceptanceandsupportofmen ofgoodwill,nottosayofeducatedmen.

THREEPOPES.

"Atonetime,""NoPopery" "goeson,"thereweretwo Popes."

A.:Foryourinformation,I mightaddthatatonetimethere werethreeclaimantstothe ChairofPeter.Buteventhat doesn'tinterferewiththe "ApostolicSuccession"youattack.Theyweretroubledtimes andconfusionwaswidespread. Theupshotofitwasthatthree menofthedaywereknownas Pope-theywereUrbanVI., ClementVII.,andBenedict

XIII.Nowthatthefactsare clearlyknownthereseemstobe nodoubtwhateverthatUrban VI.,andconsequentlythesuccessorsofhisline,wasvalidly electedandthereforetherewas butonerealPopeandtheline ofsuccessionwasuntouched.

JUDASES.

"Surely,Godwouldchooseas theguardianofHistruthmen ofChristiancharacter."

A.:Thatistrue.But,onthe otherhand,God'sagentsare freeandtheycanrejectthe gracesofferedthemorbetray God'sconfidenceinthem.There wasonebadApostleamongthe Twelve,thoughhewashand picked,onemightsay,byGod andhadthebenefitofthepersonalinfluenceofJesusChrist. Itisacommonpracticeofcritics oftheCatholicChurchtomake greatcapitaloutofbadPopes. Butitdoesnotgiveafairview ofthePapacytoharponbad Popes-oneofwhomwemust admitisonetoomanyandsay nothingaboutthevastlygreater numberofgoodonesandthe amazinginfluenceforgoodthe Papacyhashadontheworld.

"Throughoutthegreatpartof itshistory,untiltheReformation,"writestheAnglicanC.A. Briggs,"thePapacyrepresented thecauseoftheChristianpeopleagainstemperor,kingsand princelets.Itwasthesaviour ofChristiancivilisationfrom heathenbarbarism."Somuch thenforthegeneralinfluenceof thePapacyintheworld.What oftheindividualswhoaregiven custodyofthetruth?Ofthe 260oddoccupantsoftheChair ofPeter,eightyarecanonised saintsandagreatmanymore wouldbeacknowledgedbyallto havebeenmenofsaintlylives.

FatherKoenigdidnotsay much.Heonlytookfromhis pocketacopyofatop-secret Nazidocument.Itcamefrom GauleiterBohrmann'sheadquartersinMunichandcontainedanordertoseizeand confiscateallCatholicmonasteriesinAlsace-Lorraine.Father Roeschwashorrified.Hecould notbelievehiseyes.

Theysatforawhileand wonderedwhattodo.They knewthatoncetheAlsacemonasterieswereseized,othersin France,Holland,andBelgium wouldfollow.Onthesuccessor failureofthisfirstorderofseizuredependedthefateofall monasterieswithinNazireach. Onehadtoactimmediately.It wasWednesdaynightandthe Naziorderwastobeexecuted onthenightofSundayto Monday.Theyhadbarelyfour daysattheirdisposal.Without revivinganyexplanation, FatherRoeschwastoldthatthe mattercouldnotbedealtwith throughthearchiepiscopaloffice inMunich.Thiswasout.He wastolearnaboutthereason forthisdecisiononlymany yearslater.

HAZARDOUS

Theonlyalternativewasto visittheGermanbishopnearest toAlsaceandinducehimtoact. TheBishopofFreiburgin Breisgauwouldbetheman. Thedecisionwasmadequickly.

Bothpriestswenthome,changedintorailroadworkers'clothes,andsodisguisedboardedthe firstmorningtraintoStuttgart. Theirworkers'attiremade themlookinconspicuousand theygotbytheGestapo.

ThatnighttheyarrivedatStuttgart.Worriedanddepressed,theyplungedintothedarknessofacitywhichneitherof themknewwell.Fearofbeing stoppedbypoliceanddiscovery hauntedthem.Hidinginadark cellarofaruinedbuilding,they dozedforawhileandthen wenttothestationtocatchthe traintoFreiburg.Afterawearisomejourney,theyarrivedin theearlymorningandwent straighttotheepiscopalpalace. OntheBishop'sresponsehingedthewholeissue.Wouldhe acceptthedocumentasauthentic,andthenwouldhehave thenecessarycouragetoact?

INSPIRATION

BishopGroeberwasextremelysurprisedtoseethetwo priests,whomheknewwell,in suchoddattire.Hejokinglyaddressedthemas"gypsies."This wasagoodbeginning,Father Roeschthought.TheBishop wasingoodhumorandina gaymood.Inordertobring aboutarelaxedatmosphere, theyjoinedinthejovialcharacteroftheconversation.Then, abruptly,theycametothe point.FatherKoenigproduced thesecretNazidocumentfrom hispocketandreaditaloud. "Well,thisisit,"saidtheBishop,horrified.Hefeverishly grabbedforthepapertoread ithimself.FatherRoeschstoppedhimshortandwarned: "Youshouldnothavethisdocumentinyourhandsevenfor asecond.Incaseofinvestigation,youmustbeabletoswear thatyouhavenevertouched it.""Whatdoyouwantmeto do?"askedBishopGroeber. Then,likeaflashofinspiration,suddenlyawholeplan cameintoFatherRoesch's mind,anideathathadnotbeen formulatedduringthewhole longjourney.

EXPOSURE

"Bishop,"hebegan,"you mustprepareyourselfforthe worst,possiblymartyrdom.The thingyouhavetodo,andimmediately,istomakeknownto theNazisthattheyhavebeen uncovered,thattheplanisno longerasecret.Youshouldsend fifteentelegramsiofprotestright

"Finally,theworstcame," continuesFatherRoesch."After theattackonHitler'slifeon June20,1944,massarrests beganthroughoutGermany.No onewassafeanylonger.Count vonMoltkeandFatherDelp werearrested.Allourpapers, blueprints,andnoteswere seizedanddestroyed.Nothing wasleftofthearduouswork andplanningconductedforso manyyearsandmonths.Everythingwasfinished.Wewere defeated.

Itwasagreedthatwithina weektheBishopwouldsomehowletthemknowtheoutcomeofthetelegrams.Should theplansucceed,apostalcard containingagaydescriptionof goodhealthandfineweather wouldbesenttoMunich.In caseoffailure,onenegative sentenceinthemessagewould announcethebadnews.

Thepriestsreturnedhome.

Afterafewdaystheanxiously awaitedpostcardcame.With shakinghandstheygrabbedfor it.Themessagewasfullofjoy andspokeofgoodweatherand happydays.Itworked!The monasteriesweresaved!

Thefactswerethat,after receiptofthetelegrams,the GestapokeptthewholeofAlsaceunderthoroughguardfor sixweeks,searchingaround andtryingtofindacluetowho couldhavecapturedthesecret orders.Butnothingleakedout.

EXPLANATION

AfterthewarFatherRoesch metayounggirlinastreetof Munich.Shestoppedhimand asked:"AreyouFatherRoesch whoonceproceededtoFreiburg inthequestionofmonasteries andhadtelegramssenttoall Nazibigwigs?""Yes,Iam,"the priestanswered."Whydoyou askme?""Well,"repliedthe girl,"IwastheonewhoproducedthesecretNazidocument. IwasemployedattheGestapo headquartersandwasgiventhe orderofseizuretotype.When Ireaditscontentsmyhead boiled,andIdecidedthatasa CatholicImustdosomething aboutit.Ipreparedoneextra carboncopyandpasseditonto FatherKoenig.Thisishowyou gotthedocument."

Shedescribedhowmadthe Nazichieftainsgotafterthe telegramsstartedcomingto eachimportantofficeinthe country.Theymadeathorough searchattheMunichheadquartersandmadeinquiries everywhere,butithappened thatnoonesuspectedtheinnocent-lookinggirl.Sheescaped safely."Now,youunderstand," sheconcluded,"whyIhadasked thatthematterbenotraised throughthearchiepiscopalofficeinMunich.Itwouldhave beentooobvious,andeverybody wouldhavebeencaught."

Thisisoneexampleofmany missionswehadtoperform, FatherRoeschsays."Ialways hadtworoomsatmyhome wheresomeendangeredpersonswouldsleep.Inthelatter stageofourwork,Ineverspent twonightsinsuccessionatthe sameplace.Whatmadethis workdifficultforme,"saysthe priest,"wastheinnerconflict inmysoulwhichneverleftme.

Thisoddassortmentofmen askedtheguardtoleadthem tothecommandant'soffice. Oncefacetofacewiththeman himself,eachoftheemissaries producedhisarguments.None ofthemseemedtowork,however.Thecommandantwasa disciplinedofficial,andpersuasionhadlittleeffectonhim.

"Eventually,aftermonthsof hiding,onJanuary11,1945thedayFatherDelpandvon Moltkewerehanged-Iwas seizedbytheGestapo.They tookmefirsttoDachauand subsequentlytothefamous MoabitPrisoninBerlin.There IstayeduntilafewhoursbeforetheRussianscapturedthe town.

"Myprisondayswerethe finestmomentsofmypriestly life,"FatherRoeschreminisces. "ThereIhadthechanceof bringingcomforttothedying, strengthtothoseindespair.I foundoutthatevenamongthe SSguardstherewerehuman beings,Christiansinsomehiddencorneroftheirhearts.Due tosuchindividuals,Iwasable

Then,suddentlyFatherRoesch decidedtotryonceagain.He askedtheguardtolethimgoto thecommandant,thistime alone.Whilehewasapproachingtheprisonoffice,theofficial wasjuststeppingout.Theymet inthecorridorandtheman said:"Iamgladyoucameback, Father.Ihavejustdecidedto letallofyougo."Thegood tosayHolyMassinmycellnewsmadeFatherRoeschmotalmostthroughoutmywholeionless,andhestoodtherewith stayinprison.Ihadhosts,hisfeetgluedtothefloorfora Masswine,andasmallmissalwhile.Bothmenhadtearsin smuggledintomycell.Ona chairbehindtheprisoncotI saidMass,concealedfromthe eyesofapossibleGestapoinspection.

Theclimaxintheidealogical struggleforChinacamelastDecember16,whenMaoTse-tung, theChineseCommunistleader, tookofffromMoscowand Stalin'sconferencetable.After twomonthsofnegotiationsa pactwassignedonFebruary14 linkingthefortunesofChinato theSovietUnionforthenext thirtyyears.Herearethechief provisions:

1."ATreatyRegardingFriendship,AllianceandMutualAid." ChinaandRussiaagreedthatin theeventofanattackononeof thepartiestothetreatyby JapanoraJapaneseally,the otherwouldgrantimmednate militaryaidwithallthemeans whichitwouldhaveatitsdisposal.

2."AgreementRegardingthe ChineseChangchunRailway, PortArthurandDairen."In 1945theChineseNationalist Government,underpressure fromherwar-timeallies,grantedtheUSSRcertainrightsin Manchuria.Inthenegotiations whichendedthreeweeksago, Moscowagreedtoabdicatethese rightsandreturncontrolofboth railwayandportsonceaJapanesepeacetreatywassigned,or atleastby1952.

3."AgreementontheGrantingofCredits."Russiaalso agreedtograntChinaaloanof $300millionoveraperiodoffive years,toenableChinatopurchasecapitalequipmentand rawmaterialsfromtheUSSR.

4.ExchangeofNotes.Russia agreedtotransfertoChinawith-, outcompensation"propertyacquiredbySovieteconomicorganisationsfromJapanesepropertiesinManchuria."

Itwouldbenaivetoassume thatthisisalltheconference hastoshowforitssixtydaysof deliberations.ThatSovietRussiaandCommunistChinahave hadanunderstandingof"friendship,allianceandmutualaid"is surelynonews.Theindirect referencetotheUnitedStates, supposedlyoneofthecountries associatedwithJapan,isnot startling,giventhehostilityalreadymanifestedtowardAmericabyboththeSovietUnionand CommunistChina.TheconditionalagreementtorestoreChineseportsismerelyanagreementtorestorewhatalready rightfullybelongstoChina.The $60-million-a-yearcredit-a merepitanceforacountryin suchdireeconomicstraitsthat millionsofitsinhabitantsare actuallyonthevergeofstarvation-coverslessthanone-sixth ofthevalueofManchurianindustrylootedordestroyedby Russiaafterthewar.

Andthisisexclusiveofthe enormousnumbersoffemales engagedinpart-timeemployment.
