NineProtestantsofLondonClaimThatThereisNoScriptural ProofoftheAssumption;NeitherIsThereofGod'sExistence.

sumptionoftheMotherof Godcauseacleavageina bodywhichisalreadyinan abyss?

ExistenceofGodCannot BeProvedFromBible

Thetragicironyofthe positionofLondon'snine Protestants(and,presumably,ofthefollowersofthe ArchbishopofCanterbury) isthattheirimpudentchallengemightbemoreeffectivelyansweredbyMoscow thanbyRome.Forallreligionsrestbasicallyupon beliefinGodandthetheism oftheLondonProtestant cannotbeinanywayproved fromtheScriptures. ThatisthesupremeanomalyoftheProtestantpretensethattheBibleisthe soleRuleofFaith.Forto believethattheScriptures areinspiredbyGodistoconfesstoapriorbeliefinthe existenceofaSupreme Being.Ifoneproposesto demonstratetheexistenceof I'vefoundit'sfun tosewwithLADA

GodfromtheBible,oneis caughtintheprettytangleof aviciouscircle.Forthe demonstrationthatthereisa firstuncausedCause,which isapersonalbeing,isthe problem,notofexegesis,but ofphilosophy.SothatdependenceontheSoleRuleof Faithbreaksdownsadlyon thefundamentalpostulateof Christianbelief.

SoleRuleofFaithWas

PreservedbytheChurch

Moreover,theacceptance ofthesomewhatmutilated canonofScripturefrom whichtheProtestantsprofess solelytoderivetheirbeliefs, i:anunconsciouswitnessto theteachingauthorityofthe CatholicChurch,andevento itsinfallibilityinbeingable toseparatetheinspiredfrom theapocryphalbooksofthe Bible.

Inaddition,theProtestants shouldbegracefulenoughto thanktheHolyFatherfor thefactthatitwassolely duetotheCatholicChurch whichpreservedtheBible duringtheDarkAgesthat theypossessaRuleofFaith atall.If,astheysooften allege,theChurchisthe enemyof-Scripture,itisastonishingthatShepreserved itwithsuchpainstobecomethesourceofreligious errorattheReformation.

ItisImpossibleTo

EscapeLivingTradition

No,thenubofthewhole matteristhattotaldependenceonScripturalteaching isnolongertenable,and

wouldnotbeevenifProtestantismacknoWledgedasupreme,infallibleinterpreter oftheWordofGod.The Scripturesthemselvesproclaimthattheydonotcontainthetotalteachingof Christ,andcommonsense drivesthesincereand rationalbelievertohave someregardfortheliving traditionhandeddownfrom thetimeoftheApostlesand forthewritingsofthe FathersoftheChurchwhich checkandprotectit.

Itwaspreciselysuchaline ofenquirywhichbrought Newmanat:.castintothe unityoftheChurch,and broughtabouttheexistence oftheHighChurchparty withintheranksofthe ChurchofEngland.It,and nottheauthorityofthe Scriptures,isthebasisto-day oftheextensivecopyingof theCatholicChurchwhichis evidentintheexternalsof somanyAnglicanpractices.

ConfusionExistsAbout TheNatureofFaith

Itmaywellbethatthe PapaldefinitionoftheAssumptionwilldefinethe cross-roadsformanyaHigh Churchmanperplexedand hardpressedinspirit.Forit marksofftheCatholic Church,inunmistakable fashion,asabodywhichdependsforitstruthsonthe living,teachingauthorityinstitutedbyChristandexercisedbyHisvicarsfromthe daysoftheapostles.

Thereisafurtherreflectionaboutthechallengeof theLondonProtestants.It istheirutterlackofunderstandingofthenatureof Faith.If,theydare,the PopecanadduceproofpositivefromtheBiblethatOur Ladywasbodilyassumed intoheaven,theywillbecome Catholics.Theprocessis notassimpleastheyimag-

Wecannotexplainwhy theFaithisgiventosome andwithheldfromothers whomaybe,regardednaV urallv,peopleofsuperior worth.Butwedoknow thattherearecertainqualitiesofsoulwhichpredispose amanforthereceptionof God'sfreegift.Thechief oftheseisthevirtueofhumility,andfromthetoneof thispresentchallengeit wouldnotappeartobeits strongemotiveforce.

ItIsNoNewDoctrine

WhichthePopeDefined

Letitbesaid,attherisk ofmonotony,thattheAssumptionofOurLadyisno newdoctrine.Whenwefind ituniversallybelievedby bothEastandWestasearly astheseventhcentury,we maybesurethatthecoincidencecannotbeattributed tothemachinationsofRome.

Norisitwithoutsignificancethatjustastheempty tombwasthefirstpremonitionhadbytheApostlesthat Christwasrisen,sothetomb oftheVirgin,whichhas beenemptyfortheChristiansofallcenturies,isa mosteloquentwitnesstothe truthwhichthePopeproclaims.
