A.:Thatisbecauseyouarea CatholicoftheLatinRite, thoughthefactperhapsdidnot dawnonyoubefore.Thereare alsootherriteswithinthe Church.Youwonderperhaps howthedifferencebetweenthe riteswithintheChurch'arose. YourememberthatOurLord wascondemnedtodeathbya RomanProcurator,ormagis-trate.Thatremindsusthatthe Churchwasestablishedata timewhenthecivilisedworld consistedofonepoliticalunit, calledtheRomanEmpire.This empireeventuallyextended fromEnglandtoSyriaandfrom EgypttoBelgium.IntheEasternhalfof dominanttheEmpirethepre,languagewasGreek, andintheWesternhalfitwas Latin.WhentheApostlesset outtopreachtheGospeltothe world,theysaidMassinthe variousplacestheyvisitedand consecratedbishopsandordainedpriestsallbelongingtothe OneCatholicoruniversal ChurchfoundedbyOurLord JesusChrist.Itwasusualto sayMassinthelanguagepre- dominantintheplacewherethe Gospelwasbeingpreached.

"RollingStone"goeson: "LaterIwastoldthiswasa CatholicChurch."

A.:FromwhatI.havesaid, youwillseethatyourinformant wasright.

A.:No,Idon'tthinktheattitudeoftheChurchtomixed marriagesshouldbeblamedfor theunhappinesswhichsometimesfollowsonthosemarriages.Shedoeseverythingshe cantodissuadeherchildren frommakingsuchmarriages. Theunhappinesswhichisliable toariseinmixedmarriagesis onlyoneoftheverygoodreasonswhichtheChurchhasfor beingopposedtothem.Perhapsthemainreasonforher oppositionispreciselytheveryhighidealswhichshehasre-

THEORIGINSOFRACES

Thenextquestioncomesfromsinglepair,intheanimalworld. oneofourregularlisteners,or,I shouldsay,"readers,"forhefollowstheseanswersin"TheRecord"inanotherState.He callshimself"Formoy."He writes:

"WhenOurLordaddressed Hisdisciplesandtoldthem togointoalltheworld,Iwonderdidtheyknowofallthe otherpartsoftheworld.I havebeengiventobelieve thattheknownworldatthat timecentredaroundtheMediteraneanandallpeoplebelievedthattheworldwasflat."

ChristHimself,ofcourse,knew everythingthattherewastobe knownaboutthegeographyof thisplanetofours,butthere doesnotseemtobeanyreason forsupposingthatHeimparted thisknowledgetoHisdisciples.

"InhonouroftheHolyand IndivisibleTrinity,fortheexaltationoftheCatholicFaithand theincreaseoftheChristianreligion,bytheauthorityofOur LordJesusChrist.oftheHoly Apostles,PeterandPaul,and byOurown;aftermaturedeliberation,everimploringtheDivineassistance,bytheadviceof OurVenerableBrethrenthe CardinalsoftheHolyRoman Church,thePatriarchs,ArchbishopsandBishopspresentin theEternalCity,wedecreeand defineasaSaint,andWe inscribeinthecatalogueof SaintsandBlessedMariaGoretti,ordainingthathermemory becelebratedwithdevotion everyyearintheUniversal Church."

AfterwardsthePostulants thankedtheHolyFatherinthe nameoftheCardinalProcurator andbeggedhimtoorderthe publicationoftheApostolicLettersrelatingtotheCanonization.TheProtonotariesApostolic wereaskedtodrawupthe ActoftheCanonizationandthe ceremonyendedwiththePope intoningtheTeDeumand impartinghisApostolicBlessingtothehalfamillionpeople assembled.

ButbeforetheBlessinghis Holinessspoketothepeople. Standingupright,amajestic figure,attheThrone,PopePius deliveredasix-minuteoration whichthoughitwasinItalian andmostlyunintelligibletothe Australianpilgrims,was,nevertheless,anexampleoforatory thatcannotbeforgotten.Using bothhandsinfree,sweeping andeasygestures,andwith hisvoicecomingresonantly throughtheBasilica'sexcellentamplifyingsystem,the HolyFathergrippedhisvast audiencebytheveryfervour andspontaneousarrestingattitudesofhisaddress.Speaking eloquentlywithhishands,and withhisarmupraisedfrequentlyindramaticcommandor appeal,hewasfascinatingto watch.Itwasreadilyapparent thatherewasoneofthebest oratorsofourtime.

Byalovingdispositionof DivineProvidence,saidtheHoly Father,thehighhonourpaidto thishumbledaughterofthe people,onsuchaluminous night,wasasolemnitywithout equal,inaformuniqueinthe annalsoftheChurch.Thegreat gatheringshowedthatina worldapparentlygivenoverto impurity,therewasanimmense multitudeforwhomthesupernaturalfragranceofapure Christianlifeexercisedanirresistableattraction.HisHoliness appealedtotheyoungboysand girlspresenttoberesolutein resistingtemptationandto fathersandmothersthatthey wouldfollowtheexampleofthe motherofSaintMariaGoretti, presentamongthem,inthe educatingoftheirchildren.

AftertheApostolicBlessing, hisHolinessstoodacknowledgingthecheersofthemultitude, andenteredtheBasilica.The bellsofSt.Peter'sbegantoring joyfullyasthecrowdstreamed fromthefloodlitPiazzaintothe adjacentstreets.Itwasjustafter 8p.m.Tablesonthefootpaths andthemanyrestaurantsalong theViadellaConciliazionewere quicklyoccupied,andthebroad thoroughfarewasgivenagala appearance.Buildingswere lightedwithcandlesandelectric globesanduntilalatehour peoplestillwalkedbackwards andforwardsintheirhundreds, rejoicinginthenewandpopular Saint.

ThismorningwasthePapal MassofCanonization.Here, again,theamazingcrowdscenes werere-enacted.TheMasswas

at10,butathalf-past6people werehurryingalongtheVia dellaConciliazionetowardsSt. Peter's.TheAustralianpilgrims hadticketsadmittingthemto theBasilica,butevensothey wereadvisedtoarriveearly.

ProvidedbytheCentralCommitteeoftheHolyYearoffice withapress,Iwenttothe Basilicashortlybefore8,30.The word"stampa"-press---entitled metogo"anywhere,"except intotheplacereservedforthe ceremoniesthemselves.Taking upapositionnearthegreat Baldacchino,whereIcouldsee boththehighaltarandthespace betweenitandthePapalThrone intheChapeloftheChair,in theapse,Iwasabletosee everythingexcellently,Beside meweretheSwissGuards, strechedoutinalinearound theenclosure.Quiteclose,therefore,passedthesplendidprocessionandtheHolyFatheron hewayroundthealtar.Quite closewerethespectacularce- remoniesoftheMass.TheBasilicaiswelllighted,evenwith naturaldaylight,butwhenthe Popeentersinprocession,a myriadlightsareturnedon andthevastbuildingisilluminatedlikefairyland,thecolours oftheastonishingmosaicsmakingabrilliantbackgroundtothe gleaminglights.Againstthis theredandwhiteandgoldof theecclesiasticalvestments,the redandblueandyellowofthe SwissGuards,andthedecorativeuniformsofthePapalGendarmes,PalatineGuards,and thevariousPapalOrdersmake aglitteringdisplay.

TheMass,initsessentials,is familiar,ofcourse,toCatholics theworldover.Butnowhere intheworldcantherebeseen suchpageantryaswasseenthis morningastheprocessionmovedthroughtheBasilicaandas theceremonieswereperformed. ButtheMassofCanonisation hassomeveryunusualfeatures. Apartfromthegorgeouscolours ofthevestmentswornbythose participating,fromthePopeand Cardinalsdown,andtheinterestingfunctionsoftime-honouredecclesiasticalofficialsattendantupontheHolyFather,there wereceremoniesnotseenin one'snativeland.

Therewasthepreparationof thewineandhostsatthePapal credencetable,whenthePapal Cup-bearertastedthewineto showthatitwasfreefrompoisonousingredients;therewas thesingingbytheGreekdeaconoftheEpistleandGospel inGreek,aftertheLatinsinging.TheGreekchantisbeautifullyfluidandmelodious;then therewasthespecialceremony attheOffertory,whenaprocessiontooktothePopeanofferingofdecoratedcandles,bread, wine,water,twoturtledoves, twopigeons,andseveralsmall birds.Thiswas,ofcourse,a relicofthetimeswhensuchofferingswerebroughtbythe faithfulfortheEucharisticSacrifice,butthepigeons,doves, andotherbirdssymbolisedthe purityandcelestialnatureof theSacrifice.Thecandles,two weighing601bs.each,were stampedwiththepictureofthe newsaint;theloaves,oneinsilverandoneingold,hadthe Papalarmsontheminrelief; thewineandwaterwereingold andsilverbarrels;andthebirds wereinhandsomecagesofgold andsilver.
