Havingtakenhisdegreein medicine,hetookupgraduateworkinphilosophyattheUniversityofChicago.Herethree non-Catholicprofessors,teachingthephilosophyofSt. ThomasAquinas,gavehim tremendousaid.

"Dr.RobertHutchinsspoke oftheintellectualloveofGod andbadehishonourstudents,if theywouldmakesenseofthe Scriptures,toreadthemasif theywerewhattheypurportto be,adivinerevelation-supernaltruth.Dr.Mortimer Adlermanifestedtheexistence ofGod,usingSt.Thomas'five proofs;andhedeclaredthat objectiveconsiderationsofthe differentreligionsmakeit evidentthattheCatholicreligionisthemostcomplete.Dr.HerbertSchwartzrecognized thathisknowledgeofGodwas itselfagiftfromGod,agiftof grace;andinhisgratitudehe wasdeterminedtomakea returnoflovefortheloveGod hadshownhim."

DespitePrejudiceHe

Is MovedbyLifeofChrist

Itissignificantthattwoof hisintimatefriends,both Jewish,bothtakingtheirown doctorates,fellalsounderthe influenceofthephilosophical systemofSt.Thomasand,as Dr.Simon,embracedtheCatholicfaith.

Butanothervoicespokemore powerfully.Oneday,fatigued andharassed,Dr.Simonopened theNewTestamentatrandom tothepassagebeginning:"No mancanservetwomasters," andendingwiththewords: "Seekyethereforefirstthe kingdomofGod,andHisjustice,andallthesethingsshallbeaddedtoyou"(Matt.vi, 24-34).

"Herewasaprogrammeof life,herewasGod'sanswerto myworries.PeacecameandI determinedsoonaftertofindmy endnotinmyself,inmyselflove,inmyvanity,pride,ambition,buttofinditinGod."He thendetermined,despitedeeply ingrainedprejudicesagainstthe verynameofJesusChrist,to readaportionoftheGospels everyday.

"Iwas,"herecalls,,"deeply impressedbythewordsandactionsascribedtoJesus.Their wisdom,beauty,dignityexceededanythingliterature,philos_ ophy,orhistorypresented.A specialqualityinheredinthem, sotranscendentthatmyinteligenceaskedinamazement:Who isthis? Whenforthesecond timeIhadreadofChrist'sappearancetothedisciplesinthelockedroomoftheCenacleon thethirddayafterHisdeath,I realisedthatIbelieved,and

thatthelovingSaviourhad passedthroughthelockeddoors ofmyheart."

ConversiontoChristmeant forhimconversiontotheCatholicChurch."TheDivinityof JesusChristandtherevelation ofdivinethings,whichHecame uponearthtoteach,requiredthe acceptanceoftheCatholic Church.IfHehadnotappointedSimonPetertobethe RockuponwhichHisChurch wasfounded,thenHisdoctrine wouldnothavehadthesafeguardwhichPeter'sundisputed authoritygaveit(Lukexxii.,3132) AndifPeter'sauthority toconfirmhisbrethreninthe faithhadperishedwithhim,the foundationlaidbyChristwould nothavebeenforallgenerations.Butwithanunbroken successionofPopes,Christ'sdoctrineispreservedandtaughtto allgenerationsofmen.The sectsofProtestantism,400of themintheU.S.,confirmthe needandthewisdomofthePap_ acy.

CompromiseonStableOrderinPalestine WillNotProvideSound,LastingSolution

Thegreatamountofpublicitybeinggiventheconsid- erationoftheJerusalemquestionbytheUnitedNationsis shotthroughwithmisleadingstatements.Someofthese statementstrytocreatetheimpressionthattheHolySee haswithdrawnfromitsoriginalstand,andwouldnowacceptsomethinglessthantheinternationalregimeforJeru- salemandenvironswhichitoriginallyasked.There hasbeennosuchchange.

"OsservatoreRomano,"theVaticanCitynewspaper, hasvigorouslyattackedthismanoeuvre,callingit"mostac- tivebutnotvery.honestpropaganda."Itsaidflatly,ina front-pageeditorial,thatitis"contrarytotruth"toassert thattheVaticanhasrenouncedtheideaofaninternational regimeforJerusalemanditsenvirons.

TheGeneralAssemblyoftheUnitedNationsvotedlast DecemberfortheinternationalisationofJerusalem,butits actionhasnotbeenimplemented,anditisnowwidelyas- sertedthatastrongattempttoreverselastyear'sdecision willbemadeinthecurrentAssembly.Theslysugges- tionthattheHolySeehaswithdrawnfromitswell-known standonthisquestionisapparentlyapartofthiscunning manoeuvre.

Thesefearsareheightenedbytheintroductionofa "compromise"proposalwhichisreceivingnotablepublicity.ThecompromiseabandonstheideaofaninternationalisationstatuteforJerusalem,andsubstitutesamereguarantee fortheHolyPlacesbasedonextra-territorialstatus.The Netherlands,Canada,andsomeSwissexpertsintheU.N. havebeenheldupassonsorsofthecompromise.Itcan besaidwithfullconfidencethatthiscompromiseproposal wouldnotbeacceptabletoCatholics.Itsimplydoesnot givesufficientguaranteeofsecurityforJerusalemandthe HolyPlaces.Actually,greatamazementhasbeenex- pressedthattherepresentativesofCatholicsinHolland, whohaveaconsiderableresponsibilityingovernment,have agreedtosupportthepresentationofsuchacompromise.

As"11Quotidiano,"theCatholicActiondailynewspaperintheCityofRome,pointedoutveryemphatically recently,theHolySeefirmlyadherestoitstraditionalposi- tionthataninternationalregimeforJerusalemanditsen- vironsisessentialinordertoguaranteerespectandsafety fortheHolyPlates.

"IIQuotidiano"saideditoriallythattheHolySee'spositionhasbeenmadeclearfourtimes"beyondanypos- sibilityoferror"intheencyclicals"Multiplicibus"and"Re- detnptorisNostri."theApostolicexhortationofNov.10, 1949,andtheChristmasmessageofthePopein1949.The editorialsummarizedtheCatholicpositionasfollows:

1.AninternationalregimeforJerusalemanditsen- virons.

2.ProtectionandsafetyofHolyPlacesoutsideofthat territory,withfreeaccesstothem.

3.LibertyforallCatholicinstitutions.

4.ProtectionofhistoricalCatholicrights.

TheRomenewspapernotedthat,inspeakingofthe "compromise"plananditsproposalofanextra-territorial statusfortheHolyPlaces,someofitsproponentsmention thejuridicalpositionofVaticanCityinItaly.Itisnot correcttotalkaboutthe"extra-territoriality"ofVatican City,thepaperreminds,because"VaticanCityisjuridically anindependentsovereignstatelikeanyother."

Whilebeingonguardagainstthecontinualinsinuation thattheHolySeehasreverseditsstandinthismatter,one woulddowelltorecallthewarningof"OsservatoreRomano."Thepaperemphasisedthat"thedestinyoftheHoly PlacesandthecauseofpeaceinPalestineremaincloseto theheartofthewholeCatholicworld;"that"astableorder guaranteedbycountriesfaithfultotheidealsandmethods ofpeaceandfreedomistheonlyroadpossibletoreach thataim,"andthat"everyothersolution,achievedthrough painfulcompromiseforthesolepurposeofavoidingpre- sentdifficulties,wouldheafalsesolution."

DespitePrejudiceHeIs MovedbyLifeofChrist

Itissignificantthattwoof hisintimatefriends,bothJewish,bothtakingtheirown doctorates,fellalsounderthe influenceofthephilosophical systemofSt.Thomasand,as Dr.Simon,embracedtheCatholicfaith.

Butanothervoicespokemore powerfully.Oneday,fatigued andharassed,Dr.Simonopened theNewTestamentatrandom tothepassagebeginning:"No mancanservetwomasters," andendingwiththewords: "Seekyethereforefirstthe kingdomofGod,andHisjus- tice,andallthesethingsshall beaddedtoyou"(Matt.vi, 24-34).

"Herewasaprogrammeof life,herewasGod'sanswerto myworries.PeacecameandI determinedsoonaftertofindmy endnotinmyself,inmyselflove,inmyvanity,pride,ambition,buttofinditinGod."He thendetermined,despitedeeply ingrainedprejudicesagainstthe verynameofJesusChrist,to readaportionoftheGospels everyday.

"Iwas,"herecalls,"deeply impressedbythewordsandactionsascribedtoJesus.Their wisdom,beauty,dignityexceededanythingliterature,philosophy,orhistorypresented.A specialqualityinheredinthem, sotranscendentthatmyinteligenceaskedinamazement:Who isthis?

ThegreatamountOfpublicitybeinggiventheconsid- erationoftheJerusalemquestionbytheUnitedNationsis shotthroughwithmisleadingstatements.Someofthese statementstrytocreatetheimpressionthattheHolySee haswithdrawnfromitsoriginalstand,andwouldnowacceptsomethinglessthantheinternationalregimeforJeru- salemandenvironswhichitoriginallyasked.There hasbeennosuchchange.

"OsservatoreRomano,"theVaticanCitynewspaper, hasvigorouslyattackedthismanoeuvre,callingit"mostac- tivebutnotvery.honestpropaganda."Itsaidflatly,ina front-pageeditorial,thatitis"contrarytotruth"toassert thattheVaticanhasrenouncedtheideaofaninternational regimeforJerusalemanditsenvirons.

TheGeneralAssemblyoftheUnitedNationsvotedlast DecemberfortheinternationalisationofJerusalem,butits actionhasnotbeenimplemented,anditisnowwidelyas- sertedthatastrongattempttoreverselastyear'sdecision willbemadeinthecurrentAssembly.Theslysugges- tionthattheHolySeehaswithdrawnfromitswell-known standonthisquestionisapparentlyapartofthiscunning manoeuvre.

Thesefearsareheightenedbytheintroductionofa "compromise"proposalwhichisreceivingnotablepublicity. Thecompromiseabandonstheideaofaninternationalisa- tionstatuteforJerusalem,andsubstitutesamereguarantee fortheHolyPlacesbasedonextra-territorialstatus.The Netherlands,Canada,andsomeSwissexpertsintheU.N. havebeenheldupassonsorsofthecompromise.Itcan besaidwithfullconfidencethatthiscompromiseproposal wouldnotbeacceptabletoCatholics.Itsimplydoesnot givesufficientguaranteeofsecurityforJerusalemandthe HolyPlaces.Actually,greatamazementhasbeenex- pressedthattherepresentativesofCatholicsinRolland, whohaveaconsiderableresponsibility'ingovernment,have agreedtosupportthepresentationofsuchacompromise.

As"11Quotidiano,"theCatholicActiondailynewspaperintheCityofRome,pointedout emphatically recently,theHolySeefirmlyadherestoitstraditionalposi- tionthataninternationalregimeforJerusalemanditsen- vironsisessentialinordertoguaranteerespectandsafety fortheHolyPlates.

"IIQuotidiano"saideditoriallythattheHolySee'spositionhasbeenmadeclearfourtimes"beyondanypos- sibility,oferror"intheencyclicals"Multiplicibus"and"Re- demptorisNostri,"theApostolicexhortationofNov.10, 1949,andtheChristmasmessageofthePopein1949.The editorialsummarizedtheCatholicpositionasfollows:

1.AninternationalregimeforJerusalemanditsen- virons.

2.ProtectionandsafetyofHolyPlacesoutsideofthat territory,withfreeaccesstothem.

3.LibertyforallCatholicinstitutions.

4.ProtectionofhistoricalCatholicrights.

TheRomenewspapernotedthat,inspeakingofthe "compromise"plananditsproposalofanextra-territorial statusfortheHolyPlaces,someofitsproponentsmention thejuridicalpositionofVaticanCityinItaly.Itisnot correcttotalkaboutthe"extra-territoriality"ofVatican City,thepaperreminds,because"VaticanCityisjuridically anindependentsovereignstatelikeanyother."

Whilebeingonguardagainstthecontinualinsinuation thattheHolySeehasreverseditsstandinthismatter,one woulddowelltorecallthewarningof"OsservatoreRomano."Thepaperemphasisedthat"thedestinyoftheHoly PlacesandthecauseofpeaceinPalestineremaincloseto theheartofthewholeCatholicworld;"that"astableorder guaranteedbycountriesfaithfultotheidealsandmethods ofpeaceandfreedomistheonlyroadpossibletoreach thataim,"andthat"everyothersolution,achievedthrough painfulcompromiseforthesolepurposeofavoidingpre- sentdifficulties,wouldbeafalsesolution."
