Tbeginwith,Isupposeitis besttogivesomeideaofthe historyofHolyYears.Asa matteroffactnotmuchis knownoftheiractualorigin.

IamtakingthefollowingaccountfromtheJesuitDirectory fpr1950:ThefirstHolyYearof whichwehaveactualknowledgewasheldintheyear1300. Itsbeginningwasastrangeone. Dyingthelastmonthsof1299, thereportspreadinRomeand otherplacesthatagreatindulgencewouldbegainedbyall ChristiansvisitingtheRoman BasilicaofthePrinceofthe Apostlesduringthefollowing year.OnthefirstdayofJanuary,1300,nothingunusualhappenedinRometillevening.Just aboutsunset,however,people begantoflockfromallquarters ofthecitytowardsthegreat BasilicaofSt.Peter.They streamedacrosstheTiberand crowdedintoSt.Peter'suntil thevastspacewasaseaofhumanity;yetthehumadtide flowedon,everymemberofthe crowdintentononethingonly -togainthegreatindulgence. Succeedingdayssawnodiminutioninthethrongswhocameto visitSt.Peter's,fornowstrange facesweretobeseen;theinhabitantsofthesurrounding countryandneighbouringtowns werenolesseagerthanthepeopleofRometogainthespiritualfavoursoftheNewYearandwith-thesestrangerswere yetotherswhohadcomegreat distances,impelledbysome piousmotive.

OLDMEMORY

ThePopeofthatday-BonifaceVIII.-hadnoticedthe crowds,andlearningwhathad broughtthem,hecauseddiligentsearchtobemadeamong therecords,butcouldfindin themnoreferencetoanyindulgencesuchaswasnowtalkedof.Wasthere,thed,no foundationforthereportthat haddrawnsuchmultitudesfrom farandneartotheBasilicaof St.Peter?Therecordswere silent,itistrue;buttheyhad sufferedduringturbulenttimes, andwereincomplete.Inthe absenceofwrittenevidence,

"ROMAN"

Thenextquestionisfrom "CatholicAnglican,"whoasks:

"WhydoRomanCatholicspersistinspeakingofthemselves as'Catholics,'whenthatisa wordthatshouldbeappliedto Christiansofeverydenomination?'Thewholebodyof Chrisitans,'asChambersdictionaryhasit."

A.:Ithinktheword"persist" inyourquestionisreallygood. WhatyoucallRomanCatholics haveinfactpersistedforsome 19centuriesincallingthemselvesCatholics.Thatfacttaken byitselfoughttobeasufficient justificationforthepractice. Forsomefifteenhundredyears therewerenootherclaimants tothetitleandevenatthe presentdayifyouweretoask anyoneatrandomthewayto thenearestCatholicChurchthe chanceofbeingdirectedtothe AnglicanChurchsay,isvery remote.

ThefulltitleoftheCatholic Churchisinfactthe"One,

oraltestimonywasforthcoming. AnoldSavoyardwaspresented tothePope.Hedeclaredthat hehadbeenbroughttoRomeby hisfatheracenturybefore,to gaintheindulgencewhichwas offeredeveryhundredyears.His fatherhadtoldhimtoreturnto Romein1300,ifalive,andto visitthenewChurchofSt. Peter,soastogainoncemore ,thegreatindulgence.Asthe oldman'sagewas107,histestimonyastowhathadhappeneda hundredyearsagowasconsideredsatisfactory.Otherswere found-someItaliansandtwo oldmenfromthedioceseof Beauvais,inFrance-whogave similarevidence.TheoldSavoyarddeclaredthatitwasanindulgenceof100days,which couldbegainedoneverydayof theyear.Thetwomenfrom Beauvaismaintainedthatitwas aplenaryindulgence.

CONFIRMED

ThePopeconsultedtheCardinalsandpublished,onFebruary22,1300,theBull"Antiquoramhabetfidarelatio."In thisBullhestatedthat,accordingtothetrustworthytestimonyofsomeoldmen,great indulgenceshadbeengrantedto thosevisitingtheRomanBasilicaofthePrinceoftheApostles.ThePopeconfirmedand renewedtheseindulgencesand alsogranted,fortheyear1300 andforeveryhundredthyear following,"notonlyafulland copious,butthemostfullpardon ofalltheirsins,"toallthose who,beingcontrite,should confesstheirsinsandvisitthe twoRomanchurchesofSt. PeterandSt.Paul,atleastonce adayforthirtydays,ifRomans, andforfifteendays,ifstrangersorpilgrims.

Althoughtheword"Jubilee" doesnotappearintheBull 'Antiquorum',theresemblance betweentheChristianHoly Year-andtheJewishYear01 Jubileewassufficientlystriking fortheJewishwordtobeborrowedandtocomeintogeneral useatonce.ThefirstPopeto usethewordofficiallywas ClementVI(1342-1352).

Aswehaveseen,Holyyears weremeantfirsttobeheldonly everyhundredyears.Laterthe intervalwaslessenedto50 yearsandthento25years. Thesearetheyearsof"Ordinary"HolyYears.ThePopecan andsometimesdoesdeclare other"Extraordinary"Holy Years.Hedidthis,farexample in1933,whenthe19thcentenary ofthePassionwascelebrated.

Perthaudienceshavealready hadanopportunityofhearing thisgreatsingerwhenshevisitedAustraliain1948,andinthe meantimeshehasgivenconcert performanceinBerlinandZurich,andstarredinoperasat CoventGardensandtheMetropolitanOperaHouse.Asone whowasdeeplyimpressedby thequalityofhersingingather previousappearancesinthe Capitol,Icanonlysaythatthe 18months'intervalhasdetractednothingfromtheintelligence anddepthofherinterpretation, andhasaddedmorepowerto hervoicewithoutinanyway impairingthedelicacyand warmththatwonheraudiences' unstintedapplausein1948.

Theopeningbracketforthe eveningconsistedofthearia, "SonRosignol"("IamaNightingale"),bythe18th.century Italiancomposer,Torri,and twoHandelnumbers,"OhSleep, WhyDostThouLeaveMe?" fromtheopera"Semele,"and thearia,"RejoiceGreatly," from"Messiah."Tothefirst Bergerbroughtatoneofpure liquidqualitythatcapturedthe atmosphereperfectlyandflowed onthroughthesongwitheffortlessgrace.Inthesecondaria hervoicewaswarmandsoftas shepleadedwithsleepto"restoremywand'ringlove."The contrastwascompletedinthe exultant"RejoiceGreatly,"in whichoneofthehighlightswas theeasymanipulationofthe difficultphrasing.

"Whyhavethese14,000missionariesremainedinChina? Thereisatemptationtoanswer thisquestionbydenyingallthe false aboutchargeswhicharemade thesemissionaries.I preferherejusttoaffirmpositively,insimpleandplainlanguage,theprincipalreasonswhy ourmissionariesremainedat theirposts.

"Theydidso,first,because oftheirsincerefriendshipfor theChinesepeople.Themissionarycanneverbeamerely foreignmissionary.Heisnotan ordinaryforeigner,butheisone whogivesuphisnativeland andhomeandadoptstheland andlivelihoodofthepeopleto whomheministers.Heismore interestedintheuniversality andunityofthehumanfamily thanineventhelegitimatenationalbarrierswhichexist amongstmen.Themissionary dedicateshislifetothefatherhoodofGodandthebrotherhoodofman.

"Iknowofnootherclassof peoplewhoaresopractically andsototallydedicatedtothis ideal.Themissionarybecomes apartofthelandofhisadopt- ionandheisboundbytheties ofsincerefriendshipwiththe peopleofthatland.Heconsiders thatpeoplehisownflock.On thebasisofthissincerefriendship,themissionarywillnotdeserthispeopleintimeof trouble.Ourmissionariesremainedwiththeirpeoplebecause theyarefriendsofthosepeople. Thefactthattheyremainedis proofofthesincerityoftheir friendship.

"Thesecondreasonwhyour Catholicmissionariesremained isthatthisisapartoftheage- oldCatholictradition.The Churchtakesthespirituallife ofmanveryseriously.From centurytocentury,inpeace andinwar,.shehasaffirmed theprimaryimportanceofthe spiritualmanasagainsttheanimalman,theeconomicman orthepoliticalman.Inthe Catholictraditionthesoulof manisofsupremeimportance.
