InvoluntaryHappenings,EvenDisasters, AreAscribedtoGod'sPermissiveWill

Thefirstletterthisevening isfrom"Fatalist,"ofBedford Park,whoasks:

"Isitrightorwrongtobelieveinsuchaxiomsas'What istobe,willbe,'and'Whateveris,isbest,'Thereisa destinythatshapesourends, roughhewthemhowwe will.'?"

A.:Itdependsonthemeaningoneputsintothewords.Like mostproverbsthesequotations suggestacertainportionofthe truth,butnotallofit.In applyingthewordstoourexperienceoflife,wehavetosafeguardtwoveryimportantthings freewillandcommonsense. Thisbeingdone,thewordsare harmless."Whatistobe,will be,"istrueinreferencetothe absolutedecreesofGod;itis falseinregardtoresultswhich areconditionedbyman'sfree will.

"If,forinstance,"heasks,"I approachedapriestandasked himtocomeandimposehands onaparalyticpatientpreviously preparedbyfaithandprayerwouldthepriesthaveanyhesitationincoming?"

Thisinterestingquestionwould requirealongerandmorecarefulanswerthanIcaneasily giveonthissession.Toanswer inaphraseortwowouldbe worthless.Here,however,are afewthoughtsfromwhichthe Catholicpositionmaybegleamed:
