GodDoesNotLead

UsIntoTemptation

Ihavehereacoupleofquestionsnowfrom"E.T.S."of Dardanup.Firstquestion:

Insayingthe"OurFather"I seemtotripupoverthephrase "Leadusnotintotemptation." Istherenotsomethingwrong here?Shoulditnotbeleadus away,fromorout,oftempation?

A.:Thewordingofthatpetitionisslightlymisleadingat

firstsight.Howeverifwe.rememberthatintheScriptures Godisfrequentlysaidtodo whatHemerelypermitsthe sensebecomeclear."Leadus notintotemptation"meansthen "donotallowusthroughour ownfaulttowanderinto temptation."Wedonotexactlyaskthatwemaybefree fromtemptationentirely. Temptationisanecessary partofourpreparationfor Heaven.Atthesametimewe mustnotputourselvesinthe wayoftemptation.Thepetition referstothiscarelessgoing needlesslyintotemptation.

Angels,CreatedFree,HadtoMeritEternal Reward;FailureCastThemIntoHell

Nextquestion: Wearetoldthattheangelsor someofthemrebelledagainst GodNowhowcameitbethat angels---yes,ANGELS,could rebel,andbeinginheaven,just whatdidtheyhavetorebel about?Asangels,theirunderstandinganddispositioncould surelynotpromptanyoneof themtofeelthathecouldsupplantGodHimself.Icanunderstandbricklayers,carpenters andlabourers(andevenIrishmen)rebellingagainstwhat theyconsiderunjustconditions butIfinditdifficulttounderstandangelsrebellingagainst conditionsinHeaven.

A.:Thefactofthematteris thatweknowverylittleabout thefalloftheangels.Thesource ofourinformationcanonlybe divinerevelationandithasnot pleasedGodtotellusanyofthe details.WeknowfromScripture thatanumberoftheangelsdid refusetoobeyGod,insomeway orother,andthatforthwith theywerecastintoHell.Asto whatwasthenatureofthesin theycommittedourknowledge ismostlyofanegativecharacter.Weknowthattherearea

numberofsinswhichanangel couldnotcommit,Weknowtoo thatanyfreecreatureiscapableofdoingevil.Theangels werecreatedfreeandfreedom necessarilyinvolvesfreedomto choose,andinthecaseofafinitebeingfreedomtochoose goodorevil.

ItwasGod'splanthatthe angelsshouldmerittheireternal rewardbyarightuseofthe freewillHegavethem.Someof themrefusedtomakearight useofthisfreedom.Thesincan onlyhavebeensomeformof pridewhichconsistsessentially inpreferringoneselftoGod. Thatsuchachoicewasirrationalisclear,buttheneverysin isirrational.

Itisnottruetosaythatthe angelswerealreadyinheaven whentheysinned."Beingin Hes:'ien"meansenjoyingthevisionofGod,seeingGodasHe isinHimself.Suchvisionexcludesthepossibilityofsin.It wasinorderthattheymight qualifyforthisvisionthatthe angelsweretried.Thosewho rebelledwerethosewhofailed topassthetest.

AllModernSocialSystemsFalsely

BelievethatManIsIndependentofGod

Nextquestion:

Intreatingthefollowing pleaseaccepttheconditionthat atheismissomethingquite apart.Cana"goodCatholic"be agoodSocialist,orgoodCommunist,oragoodfascistora goodcapitalist?

A.:Youmightjustaswell askmetodiscussthequestion whetheragoodCatholiccould beagoodmurdererprovided therewastobenocorpse.All the"Isms"thatyoumentionif theyarepushedtotheirlogical conclusionsinvolveatheismbecauseeveryoneofthemsupposesthatmanisultimately independentofGod,Nomatter howmuchthesesystemsdiffer amongthemselvestheyareall basedonthefundamentalfalse principlethatallthatiswrong withtheworldisthepresent socialorganisation.Clearthat awayandthen,sincemanisnaturallygood,everythingwillbe perfect.NoCatholiccanaccept thatposition,nomatterwhat outwardformittakes.

PopeHasNottheSamePowerAsGod

ButActsinHisName&withHisAuthority

Ihavealetterherefrom "A.H."whichIhavehadfor sometime.Iwouldliketoapologizetothiscorrespondentfor thedelay,whichwaslargely unintentional,inansweringhis questions.

"A.H."asks:

IsitatactintheRomanCatholicChurch,thatthePopeIs regardedasChristonearth,will allthepowersthatChristhimselfhadwhenHewasonearth?

A.:No,wedonotconsider thatthePopehasallthepowers thatChristhadwhenHewas onearth.Christwasofcourse GodandGod,asyouknow,is omnipotent.Nobodyimagines thatthePopeinomnipotent.A fewexamplesoughttomake thematterclear.Christwhile onearthhadthepowerofworkingmiracles,thePopehasnot. Christ,hadHewishedcould haverevealedtruthswhichin pointoffactHedidnotreveal. Hecouldhavetoldus,forinstance,whatproportionofmen wouldbesavedandwhatwould gotoHell.Heycouldhavetold uswhenthelastdaywouldarrive.Hecould,hadHewished, haveforetoldthewholecourse ofhumanhistorywithabsolute certainty.

ThePope,ontheotherhand, hasnopowerofaddingtothe depositofrevelationgiventous byChrist.Evenwhenhemakes aninfalliblepronouncement regardingmattersoffaith,he doesnotmakeanewrevelation. Hedeclaresauthoritativelythe contentoftherevelationgiven totheChurchbyGod.Christ kneweverything.ThePope's knowledgeislimitedevenin matterspertainingtofaithand morals.HehasChrist'sguaYOUCAN

SoIthinkyououghttobe abletoseethatifwereferto thePopeas"Christonearth" wedonotunderstandthat phraseasmeaningthatthe Popehasallthepowersthat' ChristhadwhenHewason earth.Whatwedomeanis thatwithincertainverydefinitelimitsthePopeistherepresentativeofChrist,empow- eredbyHimtospeakandact inHisnameandwithHisauthority.WhenthePopeexercises thisauthoritytheresultsare thesameasthosethatwould followwereChristHimselfto act.
