AttherecentlyconcludedSummerSchool, conductedattheUniversitybytheAdultEducation board,theRt.Rev.Mgr.J.T.McMahon,together withtheRev.J.Bryant,spokeonthetheme "ReligioninthistimeofCrisis."Weprintaprecis ofMonsignor'sremarksbelow:-

AManCannotConvert

HimselfbyLogicAlone

Thepracticalquestionishow canyouandIresolvethecrisis withinusandbringpeaceto oursouls?Theintellectalone cannotanswerthatquestion.

CardinalNewman,whowasan intellectualofthefirstorder, assuresusthatmancannotconverthimself,makehimselfover intoabetterpersonbylogic alone.Inamemorablepassage inhis"IdeaofaUniversity" hewrites:"Quarrythegranite rockwithrazorsormoorthe vesselwithathreadofsilk, thenmayyouhopewiththe delicateinstrumentofthe humanintellecttocurbthose giants,thepassionandthe prideofman."

Lifemusthaveapurpose,an over-masteringaim.Whywas Iborn?ForwhatdoIlive? WhydidGodcreateme?Inthe openingpageofthetextbook onreligion,theCatechism, whichweuseinourschools,is theanswerwhichgivesthetrue philosophyoflife.Theanswer is: "Godcreatedmetoknow,to love,andtoserveHimhereon earththatImayseeandenjoy Himforeverinheaven."

LoveofGodFollows

Thefirststep,toknowGod, isaneasyone.Thesecond,to loveHim,isacross-roads. Everyhumanbeingmustlove someone,orsomething,orgo crazy,becausenooneissufficientforhimself.Directlove towardsGodandpeacefollows, turnitfromGodandtheheart becomesabrokenfoundation wheretearsfall"fromthesighfulbranchesofthemind."The thirdstep,toserveGod,should followjoyfullyfromtheloveof God,butotherinterestsdistract us.St.Paul'szealandmissionarylabourswerepossiblebecauseheconcentratedhislove uponChrist.Hewasservinga Personratherthanspreadinga

ItwaslenttotheScotsearly inthesixthcentury,whenan Irishprince,Fergur,wasbeing crownedatSconeasKingof Scotland:andneverreturned.

EnthusiasticSupport

ForChristianEndeavour

"SEEKER"continues: Whatistheattitudeofthe CatholicChurchtothismovement?

A.:Therearereallyseveral questionsinvolvedinthat query.Firstofallwhatisthe attitudeoftheChurchtowards theChristianEndeavourSocietiesasameansofpromoting interestinspiritualthings amongnon-Catholics?Itmight bethoughtthattheChurch wouldhavenoparticularinte-d inthatquestion.Butsuch anopinionwouldbefalse.The Churchissupremelyinterested inthespreadofthegoodtidingswhichChristcameon earthtoannounce.Shetakes aninterestineverymeans, howeverimperfect,whichtends tomakeChristmorewidely knownandmoresincerelyserved.Hencesheisinnowise indifferenttotheprogressof movementssetonfootbymen ofgoodwillinthenon-Catholicsectswhoseobjectitisto disposetheirfellowmento seekandfindthewillofGod intheirregard.Hencethepromisewhichtheactivemembers of.theChristianEndeavoursocietymake,tostrivetodowha teverJesusChristwouldhave themdo,hastheenthusiastic supportofeveryCatholic.We Catholicsbelievethatanyman whosincerelyseeksChristand isresolvedtodowhatever Christdemandsofhimissure tocometotheknowledgeof Christ,andifheperseveresin hisresolution,toattainsalvation.Christ'slawoffraternal charitycommandsustohavea specialaffectionforallmenof goodwillwhoareseekingtruth.Sincethemovementwearediscussingisdirectedtowards helpingsuchmenofgoodwill andincreasingtheirnumberit isworthyofourinterestand approbation.Somuchforthe movementasameansofbring-ingthoseoutsidetheChurchto

TruthCannotBeHidden ToAidFictionalUnity

afullerknowledgeofChristand amoreenthusiasticpromotion ofHisinterests.Thereishoweverafurtherquestionwhich youputinthesewords:

WhatCharityRequires Regardingnon-Catholics

Whatwouldstandintheway oftheCatholicChurchmaking fulluseofsuchasuccessfulorganisationandtherebybringingaboutadeepeningofthe spirituallifeofherownyoung people?

A.:Iamnotquitesure whetheryoumeantosuggest thatyoungCatholicsshould jointheChristianEndeavour societiesorwhetheryoursug- gestionisthatweshouldstart somemovementsimilarincharactertotheChristianEndeavourmovement. Wecandisposeofthelatter suggestionatonce.TheCatholic Churchisalreadysuperabundantlysuppliedwithorganisationstopromotethespiritual lifeofherpeopleyoungand old.Thereisandalwayswill beroomforimprovementinthe usethatismadebyherchildrenofthemeansthatthe Churchsuppliesforthedeepeningoftheirspirituallifebut therereallydoesnotseemtobe anyurgentneedforthecreationofneworganisations.

Ithinkwhatyouintendto proposeisthatCatholicsshould joinwithmembersof,other denominationsinsomesuch societyastheChristianEndeavoursociety.Suchasuggestion raisesapointwhich Ithink manywell-meaningnon-Catholicsfinditratherdifficultto understand.Theirdifficultyis perhapsincreasedbytherather unsatisfactoryexplanationsofferedthembytheirCatholic friends.Letustrytomakethe Catholicattitudeonthismatter quiteclear.

Therearetwobasicprincipleswhichregulateourassociationswithnon-Catholics.The firstis.ofcourse,Christ'sown commandment:"Thoushalt lovethyneighbourasthyself." Nomatterhowwidelyourfellowmanmaydifferfromusin creedandincult,heisstillour neighbourinthesenseinwhich Christusedthisword.Whether hebeCatholic,Protestant,Jew, Buddist,oratheist,hehasa claimonoursupernaturallove. Thisclaimisbasedonthefact thathissoulismadetothe imageandlikenessofGod,that itisdestinedtoeternallifeand isoroughttobeendowedwith sanctifyinggrace.Invirtueof thisprincipleofCharityweare obligedtointerestourselvesin thespiritualwelfareofthose

ThesecondprinciplegoverningourassociationwithnonCatholicsinthematterofreligionisthatfundamentaldoctrinethattheCatholicChurch istheonetrueChurchmembershipofwhichisobligatory onall.Weknow,ofcourse,that thosemenofgoodwillwho throughnofaultoftheirown arenotvisiblymembersofthe Church,butwhobelievein GodandloveHimandareready todoHiswillinallthingsat whatevercosttothemselves, canbesaved.Buteveninthis casetheyowetheirsalvationto whatwemightperhapscall implicitmembershipoftheone trueChurch.Theironereason fornotbelongingtotheChurch istheirinculpableignoranceof thedivinecommand.

Nowitoughttobeperfectly obviousthatitwouldbeagainst thelawofcharityforanyCatholictohidefromhisnon-Catholicneighbourthetruththat theCatholicChurchandthat Churchaloneistheonefounded byJesusChristforthesalvationofallmen.Itisthisfundamentalpreceptofcharity whichexplainstheattitude whichCatholicstaketowards associatingwithnon-Catholics inreligiousmatters.Thatattitudedoesnot narrowmindedspringfromany intoleranceas outsidersseemtothink.Any otherattitudewouldtendto confirmtheoutsiderinthat fatalerrorthatonereligionis asgoodasanother.

Henceitisbecausewedo sincerelyloveournon-Catholic brethrenthatweareunableto lendeventhesemblanceofap- provaloftheirerrorsbyjoining withtheminanyassociationon areligiousbasis.Thereforeyour suggestion,ifthatiswhatyou didmeantosuggest,namelythat withCatholicsshouldjoinup non-Catholics.intheChristianEndeavoursocietiesisquite unthinkable.IfIhavefailedto makethisclearIhopeyou.will tellmeandIshalldowhatI cantogiveafullerexplanation someothertime.
