Christ'sDisciplesDidNotExpectHim

ToRise;HopedforEarthlyKingdom

IhavealetterfromDowerin commentingonsomethingI saidabouttheResurrectiona shortwhileback.Thewriter doesnotactuallyformulate anyquestionsso'Ishall havetopickoutsomeofthe itemsinhisletterwhichcallfor comment.Hewrites:

Itisoftenstatedthatthedisciplesmisunderstoodthewords oftheirMasterandthought thatHewouldestablishHis Kingdomuponearth.Thisseems entirelyerroneousinviewof verse64Chapter27ofSt.Matthew'sGospel,andthefactthat theyweresentouttopreachthe KingdomofHeaven.

A.:Theverseyouquotereads thusinitscontext:

"Thechiefpriestsandthe PhariseescametogethertoPilatesaying:Sir,wehaveremembered,thatthatseducer saidwhilehewasyetalive: AfterthreedaysIwillarise again.Commandthereforethe sepulchretobeguardeduntil thethirdday;lestperhapshis disciplescomeandstealhim awayandsaytothepeople:He isrisenfromthedead.Andthe lasterrorshallbeworsethan thefirst."

Ifailcompletelytoseehow youdeduceanythingfromthis verseregardingtheexpectations ofthedisciples.Thestrange factisthattheonlyones'who seemtohaverememberedvikat ChristsaidaboutHisresurrectionwereHisenemies.Itisperfectlyclearfromthenarrative intheGospelsthatthedisciples hadnoexpectationwhatever thatHewouldriseagain.Even whentheresurrectionhadtaken placeChristhaddifficultyin gettingthemtoacceptthefact. Therecanbenodoubtthatlike therestoftheJewstheylooked forwardtotheinaugurationof theMessianickingdomonthis earth.TheGospelsarefullof indicationsofthis.Onevery obviousinstanceistheremark ofthedisciplesonthewayto EmmausonEasterday:We hopedthatitwasHethatshould haveredeemedIsrael,whereit isperfectlyclearthatHisdeath hadputanendtotheirhopes. EvenontheverydayofHis ascensionintoHeaventheir mindsarefulloftheideaofa Kingdomtobeestablishedin thisworld.InActs1.6weread

WarorPeace? WeMustGettoKnow TheMindofMoscow

ByMICHAELDELABEDOYERE, Writingin"TheCatholicHerald."

Thegreatenigmaoftheworld situationremainsto-daywhatit hasbeenforaverylongtime, namely,therealmentalityand therealaimsoftheCommunist leaders.Thismeans,ofcourse, theCommunistleadersinMoscow.Ultimately,theremaybe moreTitos.Butforthetime beingwecannotcountonthis. therehavebeenmanywhohave persuadedthemselvesthatMao Tze-Tungretains:arealdegree ofindependence.Butrecent eventshaveshownthatifindeed hedoesenjoyanysuchindependence,hechoosestouseitin awaythatisindistinguishable fromtheMoscowmasters. Throughouthehasbeenutterly uncompromising,andhisbehaviourhasbeen,ifanything, rougherthanhismaster's,Moscowremainsincommand.

Wemaysay,therefore,that theactionsofthefreeworldwill failorsucceedaccordingasit correctlyreadsthemindof Stalinandhiscollaborators.

MISCALCULATION.

IfthecrudestWesternreading ofMoscow'srealintentionsis correct,itissomethingofamysterythatRussiaandhersatelliteshavenotalreadytakenfar betteradvantageoftheirrelativestrength.

Onecanhardlydoubtthatthe wholehistoryoftheKoreanwar isaresultofaRussianmiscalculationratherthanofplanning toreachthepresentposition.It wasnotexpectedthatAmerica andtheU.N.wouldactivelyresisttheoriginalputsch.Later itwascertainlynotexpected thatAmericawouldturnthe tablesonKoreasoquickly.

TheChineseactionmustthereforehavebeenalatedecisionin responsetoasituationwhichthe Kremlinfoundintolerablerather thanpartofaconstructiveplan toattackAmericaandtheU.N. asafirststepinaworldwar. Thisclearlyisafactofvery greatimportancewhichshould influenceourownactionto-day.

Apartfromtheaccidentof Korea,thereareanynumber,of places,bothintheEastandin Europe,aswellasinthevulnerableandrichMiddleEast, whereRussiacouldmoveaggressively,andrisklessthan shehasalreadyriskedinallowingtheChinesetofightinlarge numbersinKorea.Sheiaay, ofcourse,dosoyet.Butthe factthatshehasnotdonesoordonesoinaveryminorand cautiousway-mustremaina pointertowardstherealRussian intentions.Afterall,timeis notonRussia'sside,oncethe Westbeginsrearmingon.aseriousscale.

SOVIETMOTIVE

Mostpeoplewouldprobably saythatRussiahasbeendeterredfromsuchadventuresbecauseofherfearoftheatom bomb.Itmaybeso;yetithas foralongtimebeenfairlyevidentthattheatombombwill onlybeusedveryreluctantly andasasuprememeasureby America,andwhenitisclear thatfull-scalewarhasbegunor isjustabouttobegin.

Onthewhole,Russia'sactions sofararebestexplainedbythe fruitsofwarwithouthavingto principlethatRussiaseeksthe fightorseriouslyriskafullscaleworldwar.

Whyisthis?Weshalleasily deceiveourselvesifweallow ourselvestothinkthatRussia's dislikeofaworldwarismotivadbythesamereasonsasour hoorofit.

STALEMATE.

Ourmoralattitudetowaris verydifferentfromhers,while weknowthatwehaveeverythingtolosebywar,evenifin theendwewinthefinalvictory. InRussia'scase,thefirst stagesofaworldwarmustbea greatextensionofherpresent

WEAKNESSES.

Inviewofallthesegreat temptations,itwouldseemthat Moscowhasveryseriousreasonsofherownfornotwanting tostartathirdworldwar.

Onereasonmaywellbeher ownrealisationthatthereare limitstothesuccessfuloccupationandcommunisationofalien andhithertofreepeoples.

Wecanonlyseethefacadeof Communistrule.Wedonot reallyknowthemoralandhumansituationinsatellitecountries,norforthatmatterinthe immenseareasofCommunist China.NorhasRussiahithertofoundithealthytoallowthe tooliberalexportofRussian Communiststhemselvesintothe West.

Moscow,too,maywelljudge thattheinternaldisorganisation anddisruptionwhichwarwould undoubtedlycauseeveninher tyranisedpoliceregimewould notbeworththerisksnecessaryforgraspingthe'great prizes,whichmusttempther.

Communismhasalwaysloved thetactics.ofconfusion,keeping thepressurefirstinodeplace, theninanother.Isshelikelyto keepthisuptotheend?

Lastly,therestillseemstobe greatignoranceaboutthesize andqualityofRussia'sarms.Is shereallyweak?Orisshewaitingforanearlyzerohour?How muchdoourleadersknow?

POTENTIALTHREAT.

Suchspeculationsmustbe mereguessworkforanyindividualpoliticalcommentator. ACatholiccommentatorcan onlyunderlinewithcertainty thefactthatthemassesofthe peasant'Catholicpopulationsin EasternEuropewillneverbecomereconciledintheirhearts toaGodlessmilitarytyranny. WhereversuchCatholicsform thebulkofthepopulation,we maybesurethatapotential threattotheCommunistregime remains. Butitshouldsurelybepossibleforthemajorgovernments oftheWesternworldtoinform themselvesprettyshrewdly aboutthetruesituationinCommunistandCommunist-dominatedcountries.Theyhaveallies inplentybehindtheIronCurtain,andtheymustdisposeof agentscapableofreturninga truepicture.

Atacriticaltimelikethis,as completeaknowledgeaspossibleoftherealstateofmind inMoscowwouldprovethe mostvaluableofallfactorsin decidingontherightlineof policy.

AsregardstheFarEast,itis probablethatGeneralMac-

Arthurhasamuchshrewder ideaofwhatisgoingoninthe mindsoftheChineseandthe KoreansthananyoneinWashingtonandLondon.Ifso,his advicemayyetbeprovedmore valuableinregardtopolicy thanithasbeeninregardto actualmilitaryoperations.

POLITICALCHESS.

Itisquiteunhelpfultothink ofpolicyintermsofgeneralisationslike"appeasement"or "resistance"or"notlettingdown ourfriends."Suchwordsdenote ourownmoralresolutions;but thesemoralresolutionshave littlechanceofbeingrealisedif wearenot'preparedtoplaya veryshrewdandskilfulgame ofpoliticalchesswithouropponents.

Non-CatholicMinister

Thesecondpointtobemade clearisthatthisviewofmixed marriagesisnotpeculiartothe CatholicChurch.Considerthe articlewrittenbyanEnglish ProtestantministerintheLondoneveningpaper,"TheStar," undertheheading"TwoLovers -TwoFaiths."Hewrites: "Everymarriageinvolvesrisk.

HappyMixedMarriage DoesExist,theException

Tobequitefairaboutit,we mustadmitthattherearemixedmarriagesuponwhichhappy homesarebuilt.ManynonCatholichusbands,thoughnot membersoftheChurch,doall intheirpowertoidentifythemselveswitheveryinterestof theirCatholicfamily.Suchmen, notinfrequentlydoreceive thegraceofFaith.These aremen,who,beforemarriage, studiedcarefullywhathonour demandedofthem.Buthere istheblunttruthanditwould beextremelyfoolishonour parttocloseoureyestoit.For everynon-Catholicpartnerina mixedmarriagewhoisacredit tohimselfandanexampleof couldgiveadozenexamplesof menwho,refusingtohonour theirbond,havebroughtmiseryuponthemselvesandupcn theirgrowingfamilies.

DangertotheFaith; DisunityinInterest

FatherConway,theAmerican Paulist,wasonceasked:"Apart fromthefactthatrealhappiness
