TwodaysaftertheUniversalChurchhadcelebratedthegreatestfeastoftheMotherofGodherbodilyassumptionintoHeaven-theAnglicanArchbishopsofCanterburyandYorkannouncedthattheChurchofEngland"doesnot andcannotholdthisdoctrinetobeanecessary partoftheCatholicfaith."Veryconfidentlytheir Graceswentontoassertthatthereisnotthe slightestevidenceintheScripturesorintheteachingoftheearlyChurchofherbodilyassumption."

Furthermore,theirsincerityisnottobe.questioned.Withpatenthonesty,theyapprehendthat thedefinitionofthedogmaoftheAssumptionwill increasedogmaticdifferencesinChristendom, "andtherebygravelyinjurethegrowthofunderstandingbetweenChristiansbasedonacommon possessionofthefundamentaltruthsoftheGospel."Whiletheirgoodfaithistobeadmitted,their errorsandomissionscannotbeglossedover.It 'maybesoundProtestantismto whateverisnottobefoundintheScriptures,butitis notsoundsense.TherelianceontheBibleasthe soleruleoffaithwasthefirstdogmadefinedby theReformers.Itwasadevicetocircumventthe historicauthorityofthePapacyandwasself-contradictory.FortheScripturesclearlytaughtthe primacyandauthorityofPeterandtheReformersdependedonthejudgmentoftheRomanSee forwhatwasthecanonofScripture.Atatime wheneminentAnglicanecclesiasticsmay,with impunity,denythedivinityofChristoropenly advocateatheisticCommunism,itismorethana littlenaivetoclaimthatAnglicanismstandsor fallsbytheScriptures.

WhenwecometotheEarlyChurch,theAnglicansareonevenmoreuncertainground.From thesixthcentury,thedoctrineofMary'sAssumptionbecomesmorallyunanimous,beingattested intheworksoftheFathersandintheliturgiesof bothEastandWest.Itisfoundexplicitlystatedin thewritingsofSt.AndrewofCrete,St.JohnDamascene,St.GregoryofTours,St.Modestusof Jerusalem,St.JohnofDamascus,St.Ildephonsus and-St.GermanusofConstantinople.Inthe6th and7thcenturiesitisfoundintheGreekliturgy andtheGallicanandGothicmissalsofthe8th centurycontainit.Althoughitwasnotandhas notyetbeendefinedbytheChurchas,anarticle ofFaith,PopeBenedictXIVdeclaredthatit wouldbeimpiousandblasphemoustodenythe universaltraditionoftheChurch.

ThePowerof OrganisedBodies

Whatistheprincipalfactor contributingtothisproblem?

"Ofthefactorsdistinguishing thiscenturyfromtheothernineteenoftheChristianera,none ismoresignificantthanthe overwhelmingimportancewhich organisedbodieshaveassumed overthelivesofindividuals."

Amongthoseorganisedbodies maybenamedgovernments, politicalparties,employers'associations,tradeunions,combines,cartels,organisationsof primaryproducers,etc.,and, whileitistruethat,inthelast century,controlofthegovernmenthascometomeanacloser andmoreintimatecontrolthan everbeforeoverthelivesofthe governed,atthesametimeitis equallytruethattheleadersof organisedbodiesareoftenmore powerfulthanthegovernments themselves.Andinthisfactor istobefoundaprimecauseof themasssufferingofthepeople ofthetwentiethcentury.The dailylivesofvastnumbersof ordinarypeoplearedominated bytheinfluenceoforganisations, whosepoliciesinturnaredictatedoftenbyleaderswhoactin defianceorinculpableignorance ofthemorallaw.

Herein,toaverylargeextent, liesthecruxoftheproblem. "Thecontroloforganisationsis thekeytothewell-beingorthe sufferingofthemasses."These organisationsaretheoperative force;whethertheyworkfor goodorevildependsonthepoliciesbywhichtheyareinspired. "Ifgovernments,intheirmutual relations,areinspiredbypoliciesofjusticeandcharity,the resultisinternationalpeaceand concord.Butifgovernments areinspiredbypoliciesbasedon greedorhatred,thentheresult isinevitablywaranddestruction."

"Aswithgovernments,sowith thegreateconomicorganisations,whicharealmostall-powerfulinourera.Ifthepolicies animatingorganisationsofemployersandworkersarepolicies ofjusticeandcharity,theresult willbeindustrialpeaceandharmony,theabsenceofindustrial turmoilandunrest.Butifthey arepoliciesofgreed,suspicion, andhatred,theresultswillbe conflictandclass-war."

But,ifhereinliesthecruxof theproblem,hereinliesalsothe keytoitssolution.Organisationspossessthepowertobring happinessorsuffering;whichof thesetwotheybringdependson thepoliciesbywhichtheyare inspired.Butpoliciesarea matterofconsciouschoice.Policiesaretheworkofmen,of men'sminds;theyspringfrom theattitudes,fromthemoral conductofthose,firstofall,who areleadersintheseorganisations,andsecondly,ofthosewho aremembersofthem."Forit isuponthemoralconductof menandwomen,inrelationto theseorganisedbodies,thatthe well-beingorthesufferingof mankindlargelydepends."

Itfollowsthat,bydeclaring themoralprincipleswhichmen andwomenshouldfollow,we canpointthewaytoasolution oftheproblem.

PrinciplesWithoutCompromise
