Thenextcommunicationis from"A.E."andtakestheform oftwocuttings.Thefirstisan articlefrom"Signsofthe Times"whichistoofoolishfor detailedtreatment.Ishallhoweveranswerthequestionswhich formthetitleandsub-titleof thisarticle.

Thefirstis:

Whoinventedhell?

A.:Accordingtothisarticle thedoctrineofhellisaconsequenceofthepagandoctrineof theimmortalityofthesoul whichtoquotethisabsurddocument"wasadoptedbythe apostatechurchofthesecond century."Well,ifthatwereso, howareyougoingtoexplain thathellbulkedsolargelyin thepreachingofJesusChrist, whoaloneofmenwasinthe positionipknowwhatdidhappentousafterthisearthlylife? ItisfromHimthattheChurch learnedthedoCtrineoftheeternalpunishmentofthosewho departthislifeinenmitywith God.Heitwaswhotoldus whattheJudgewouldsayto thewickedatthelastday:Departfrommeyoucursed, intoeverlastingfire,whichwas preparedforthedevilandhis angels.Ifwehadthattextalone itwouldsufficetoestablish,for anyonewhoheldthattheScripturesarethewordofGod,both theexistenceandtheeternity ofhell,aswellasthefactthat thosewhorefusedtoobeythe commandmentsofGodwhileon earthanddiedwithoutrepen-tanceweredestinedforHell.

HenceonthewordofChrist, whoisGod,weknowthatthere isastateofpunishment,crea- tedinthefirstplacefortheangelswhorebelledandtobe sharedbyallthosemenwho departthislifeinthestateof gravesin.Onceagainoneis, struckbythecolossalignorance oftheScripturesshownbythose whopretendtomaketheBible thesoleruleoffaith.Thatthe writerofthearticleoneVarner J.Johnsdoesmakethispre- tension,whichasIhavesaid repeatedlyisamostunscrip- turalone,seemstvidentfrom thesubtitlewhichformsour nextquestionnamely:

ClearEvidence

OfPurgatory's ExistenceGiven

Ispurgatoryscriptural?

A.:TheCatholicanswerto thatis:Well,whatharmifit isn't?Wehaveneverbeen guiltyoftheabsurdityofmaintainingthatthewholeofthe truthrevealedtousbyGodis containedintheBible.However therearecertainechoes,asyou mightsay,ofthisdoctrinein theScriptures.Wedon'trely ontheseforourproofofthe doctrine.Ifyouweretoturn uponeofthestandardtextbooksoftheologytoseewhat

wassaidonthesubjectyou wouldfindasentencesomething*likethis:Scripturealone doesnotprovideaconvincing argumentfortheexistenceof purgatorybutmerelyonewhich isprobable,whichhoweveris renderedcertainbytheinterp- retationsgivencommonlyby theFathersoftheChurch.The doctrineisofdefinedfaithfrom theexplicitteachingofthe Church.

Asasampleofwhatyoucan findintheBible,thoseofyou whopossessanunmutilated biblecanturntothe12thChap- teroftheSecondBookofthe Machabeesfromverse43on.

Thisbook,ofcourse,isquite arbitrarilyrejectedbysome whoseemtoimaginethatthe dutyoffixingthecanonof Scripturedevolvesonthem.The bookisactuallycanonicaland justasmuchthewordofGod asanyotherbookoftheBible. Inanycaseyouwillfindinthe placeImentionedanaccountof whatJudasMachabeusdidwith theobjectofhelpingthesouls ofthoseofhisfollowerswho hadbeenkilledinbattle.He madeacollectionwhichrealised twelvethousanddrachmasof silverandthishesenttoJerusalemforsacrificetobeofferedforthesinsofthedead, thinkingwellandreligiouslyconcerningtheresurrection,as theBibleaddsandthetextcon_tinues."Forifhehadnothoped thattheythatwereslainshould riseagain,itwouldhaveseemed superfluousandvaintoprayforthedead.Andbecausehe consideredthattheywhohad fallenasleepwithgodlinesshad greatgracelaidupforthem.It isthereforeaholyandwhole-

somethoughttoprayfor_the dead,thattheymaybeloosed fromsins."Ifyoulookcarefully atthattextyouwillfindthe Catholicdoctrineofpurgatory asastatewherethesoulsofthe justwhohavenotyetexpiated fullytheirsinsaredetainedand alsowheretheycanbehelped bytheprayersoftheirbrethren onearth.Thatthereisnota questionoftheactualforgivenessofgravesinisclearfrom thefactthatthoseforwhom thesacrificewasofferedhad "fallenasleepwithgodliness."

Inanycase,M.Spaak's wordsdeservethecloseattentionofourAustralian politicians.Mr.Menzies, forexample,wasveryvoluble wheninOppositionabout theneedofrestoringreligion totheschools.Sincehis elevationtothePrimeMinistership,however,nothing whateverhasbeenheard fromhimonthisscore.Currentpoliticaldiscussionson educationrevolveabout whethertheStatesorthe Commonwealthshouldcontroltheadministration.That isaconvenientmethodof glossingovertheprimary issuethatitistheparents' righttodecidewhatkindof educationtheirchildrenshall receive.
