HeishonouredbytheChurch asSaintGregoryII.Hewas borninRomeofarichand prominentfamily,andwaseducatedinthepalaceofthePopes, whereheacquiredagoodknowledgeofHolyScriptureandof ecclesiasticalaffairs.Gregory wasconspicuousforhispiety, andPopeSergiusI.,towhomhe wasverydear,ordainedhim sub-deacon.Underthefour succeedingPopeshewasalmoneroftheChurchandafterwards papallibrarian.Hewaschargedwithmanyimportantcommissions.Sogreatwashiswisdomandlearningthathewas chosentoaccompanyPopeConstantinetoConstantinoplewhen thatPopewenttheretodiscuss personallywiththeEmperor, JustinianII.,certainoutstanding difficultiesanddifferenceswhich hadarisenoutoftheso-called CouncilofTrulloin692.

EnquirerRaisesHostofQuestions

RangingfromBaroniustoBabylon

IhavealetterherefromandDoctoroftheChuschwho "G.F.M."whoraisesanumber ofquestionswhichIthinkmight beofinteresttoawidecircleof listeners.SpeakingofanantiCatholicpamphletbysomeone called,significantlyenough, Goldsack."G.F.M."says.

Mr.Goldsackreliesaloton acertain"CardinalBaronius", whoisstatedtobeanex-librarianoftheVatican.Certain "AnnalsoftheChurch"are alsomentioned.

Couldyouenlightenmeon theexistenceorotherwiseof these"Annals"andofCardinal Baronius?

A.:Yes,CardinalBaronius wasaveryrealpersonofsaintly lifeandwidehistoricalscholarship.Hisprincipalworkin thatfieldwascontainedinthe 12volumesofthe"AnnalesEcclesiastici"whichisthework reterredtobyyourauthor.This workwasreallyanepochmakingoneinthefieldofEcclesiasticalhistory.Itwasintendedas areplytoaProtestantwork whichisgenerallycalledthe "CenturiesofMagdeburg"and serveditspurposeadmirably. TheobjectoftheProtestant writerswastoslingasmuch mudattheChurchasthey could.Historicaltruthwasan altogethersecondarymatteras farastheywereconcerned.Ba-roniuscounteredthismoveby gettingdowntohistoricalresearchonascalehithertoquite unprecedentedwith-theobject notofforgingweaponsofcontroversybutsimplyoftelling thetruthaboutthehistoryof theChurch.

Takingintoaccountthedifficultiesunderwhichheworked andthefactthathewasdoing pioneerworkinthisfieldhis achievementputshiminaclass byhimself.Hereandthereit hasbeennecessarytocorrect hisworkonmattersofdetail buttheprinciplesofhistorical criticismonwhichheworked arethosewhich followedbyeverysoundhistorian eversince.Heisrightlycalled theFatherofModernChurch History.

ABrilliantMan

wasRobertCardinalBellarmine. St,Robertwasroughlya contemporaryofBaroniusbeing bornin1542anddyingin1621. LikeBaroniushetoowasengagedindefendingtheChurch againstthehereticsofhistime. Bellarminehowevertookforhis fielddogmatictheologyand wroteafourvolufneworkon thecontroversiesofthetime whichwassomethingquitedifferentfromthetypeofvulgar abusethatpassedforcontroversyinthosedays.ForEnglishspeakersSt.Robert'smain interestisthatheengagedin controversywithKingJames1 ofEngland.Ihaveneverread thatparticularworkofhisbut Iunderstandthathepokeda certainamountofgoodhumouredfunatpoorJames'sbad Latin.Itissaidthatlikealater occupantoftheImperial Throne,Jameswasnotamused.

NowadaysBellarmineislookedonasoneofthepioneersof thedemocratictheoryofthe state.InfactIseemtoremembertohavereadalearnedseries ofarticleswhichwenttoprove thattheconstitutionofthe UnitedStatesowedsomething tothepoliticaltheoriesofthis theologian.SeveralofBellar/nine'stheologicalopinionsdid notfindfavourwithacertain schoolofCatholictheologians anditwasmainlyduetothis factthathisbeatificationwas longdelayed.Itwasonlyinour

owntimethathewasbeatified byPopePiusXI.Howeverhis canonizationfollowedvery shortlyafterwardsalongwith thedeclarationthathewasto behonouredasaDoctorofthe Church.

So,ifyourauthorquotesBellarmineasanauthorityheis certainlyongoodground.You alsoask:

Doyouknowanythingofa ChurchhistoriannamedSchaff.

A.:Iknowverylittleabout thatgentlemanexceptthathe wasanAmericanbynationality andaLutheranbyreligion.I don'tknowanythingaboutthe valueofhishistoricalwork.

St.PeterinRome

Nextquestion: GoldsacksaysthatSt.Paul neverwrotetoSt.Peter,therebyindicatingthatSt.Peter wasnotatRome.Pleaseexplain.

A.:Icannotexplainthat amazingconclusion.Thefact thatwehavenoletterfromSt. PaultoSt.Peterdoesnoteven provethatsuchlettersdidnot existatonetime. Iwouldbe surprisedifSt.Peterkepta steelfilingcabinetandaprivate secretary.InanycaseSt.Peter wasinRome,Mr.Goldsack notwithstanding.

ScriptureLanguage

Finally:

WhatlanguagewastheNew Testamentoriginallywrittenin?

A.:AsortofGreek,withthe exceptionoftheGospelofSt. Matthewwhichseemstohave beenwritteninAramaicwhich isakindofHebrew.

ProphetIsaiasForetoldThatBabylon

WouldbeDestroyed:CityisnoMore

Ihavealetterherefrom "K.D."whoasks: Willyoupleasetellmewhat ismeantbythefallofBabylon andwhatandwhereisBabylon.

CasareBaroniuswasbornat SoranearNaplesin1538.He studiedinRomewherehecame incontactwithandbecamea followerofandlatersuccessorto St.PhilipNeri.Hewasordainedpriestin1564.Thecompositionofhis12volumesofthe Annalstookhimfrom15881607.Hehadtoovercomealmostincredibledifficultiesin bringingoutthework.Forone thinghewasconstantlybeing draggedawayfromhishistoricalstudiestoperformother duties.In1596hewasmadea CardinalandappointedlibrarianoftheVaticanandputin chargeoftheVaticanpress.It seemsthathehadacoupleof narrowescapesfrombeing madePope,adignitywhichhe didnotambition.Hediedin Romein1607.Ifyouwould likemoredetailyouwillfind aninterestingaccountofhimin the"CatholicEncyclopedia" whichypucouldconsultatthe PubliclibraryorattheCatholic library.

TAEGU,Korea,Jan.25(NC).

-Whenacorrespondentfinds himselffiguringinanewsstory thatisnewstohim.that'snews initsownright.

"LastweekinSeoul,"said "Time"magazineforDecember 25,"threeAmericanclergymen -aMethodistandtwoRoman Catholics-madeaformalprotest.Inanindignantpublic statementtheychargedthat manyofthevictims(executed) hadnotrialsandhadbeenshot withouttheconsentofPresident Rheeorothercivilofficials."

ThatwasthefirstIheardof this"publicstatement,"andI wasoneofthethree.

"PriestsBlockedinMoveto StopRheeExecutions,"saida headlineintheWashington "Times-Herald"ofDecember17.

Thatcameasasurprise,too.The UnitedPressstoryunderneath said:"TwoCatholicpriests, seekingtoblockthemassexecutionofpoliticalprisoners scheduledforto-morrow,failed to-nightineffortstoseePresidentSyngmanRhee."Wedid fail,onlybecausethetelephone communicationwithPresident Rhee'shousewasnotoperating. anditseemeduselessat9.15 p.m.totrytoseehimwithout telephoninghisheavilyguarded residencefirst.

Thesearethefacts:

LateonDecember16Ilearned thatgroupexecutionshadtaken placethatmorning,andonthe previousday,inSeoul.ItalkedtoanAmericanofficerwho hadseenatruckfilledwith bowedprisonersturningintothe executionground,andhadseen wherethebodieslaylightlyburiedaftertheshooting. Iheard that35werescheduledforexecutionnextmorning.

EarlierthatweekIhadseen deplorableconditionsinWest GatePrison.Iknewthatwhen Msgr.GtorgeM.Carroll,M.M., ofBrooklyn,andDr.WilliamE.

Accordingly,Inowsought themouttoaccompanymeon aninformalvisittothePresident.Therewasgravereason tofearthattheexecutionswere exceedingtheboundsofordered justice.Itwaslikelythatthe Presidentdidnotknowabout them,justashehadnotknown aboutconditionsintheprison,If wewaiteduntilnextday,35 moreexecutionswouldprobably beaddedtothetoll.

BythetimeIhadjeeped acrossSeoultofindMonsignor CarrollandDr.Shaw,itwas longpastthehourforvisiting presidents.Wetriedtotelephone,tomakesureofgaining entry,buthistelephonewasout oforder.Thenwecalledona

WecouldnotlocatetheHome Minister.Finallywecalledon amemberoftheUnitedNations Commission.Welearnedthat membersofthecommissionhad alreadybeendiscussingthematterwiththeHomeMinisterand hadbeenassuredthatthe35 executionsscheduledforthe morrowwouldnottakeplace.
