WillanInfant,DyingBeforeBaptism

BeEternallySeparatedFromItsMother!

"Jasper,"ofHarvey,asks:

"DoesyourChurchteachthat aninfantdying!mtorebaptism willbeforeverseparatedfrom itsmother,assumingshegoesto heaven?"

A.:BeforeIdealwiththeproblemunderlyingyourquestion, Ishallanswerthequestion bluntly.Theansweris,No. TheChurchdoesnotteachsuch aneternalseparationofmother andchild.

Nowtotheunderlyingproblem.Whatisthefateofinfantswhodieunbaptised?

Theusualteachinginthe Churchisthatsuchinfantsare eternallyhappy,butwithnaturalhappiness.Thatistosay theirhappinessdoesnotinclude norarisefromthedirectknowledgeofGod,technicallyknown astheBeatificVision.

Attheoutsetitisrighttosay that,evenuptoourowntime, sometheologianshavetaughtorratherconjectured-thatsuch infantsdo,bysomespecialprovidenceofGod,receivesanctifyinggracebeforedeath.As sanctifyinggraceistheonepassporttotheBeatificVision,it wouldfollowthatsuchinfants enjoy,notonlynaturalhappinessbutalsotnesupernatural happinessoftheBeatificVision. However,revelationandtheofficialteachingoftheChurchgive nosupporttosuchconjectures. MostCatholictheologians,indeednearlyall,denytheBeatificVisiontosuchinfants.This commonteachingisbasedon twodoctrines:1.Thedoctrine thatisoffaith,namely,thatto attaintotheBeatificVision,a soulmusthavereceivedthegift ofsanctifyinggrace.2.The doctrinethat-settingasideany questionofmartyrdom-theonly revealedwayinwhichinfants receivesanctifyinggraceis throughtheSacramentofBaptism.

"spiritualbody,"asSt.Paulcalls it,seemtoruleoutphysicalseparationofthetypeimagined. Whatthenisthestateofsuch infants?Theyundergothe consequencesoforiginalsinand, accordingtoordinaryteaching, havenottheimmediatevisionof God.But,tofollowthesafe teachingofSt.ThomasAquinas, theyareunitedtoGodnotby grace,butbytheperfectionof theirnaturalknowledgeofGod, andconsequentlyareinastate ofnaturaljoy.Noristheirjoy marredbybodilyillsandanxietiesofmind.Intheirstateof existencethereisnosourcefrom whichsuchillsandanxieties couldarise.But,itisurged, surelytheveryfactthatthey theyhavenottheBeatificVision,isasourceofsorrowto them.St.Thomas,inhisearly writingonthesubject,saidthat therewasnosorrowonthisaccount,becausetheyknowthat theBeatificVisionwassomethingquiteoutsidetheirpowers: accordinglytheywerenomore grievedthanarewewhenwe reflectthatwearenotkings andqueens,orthatwecannotgo flyinglikeabird.But,inlater years,hegaveamoreconsideredreplytothedifficulty,areply basedonafullergraspofthe natureoffaith.Hetaughtthat suchinfants,nothavingreceivedthehabitoffaithinbaptism,

UnbapfisedInfant WillNotGrieve

Thereisnothingtobegained bymoreimaginativespeculationsaboutmutualvisitsbetweenmotherandchild.Such ideasarecrudeandtakeusbeyondrevelationandbeyondthe reasonablelimitsofspeculation. Perhapsasimpleillustration mayhelpustorealisewhatwe meanbydifferenceofstateand differenceofhappinessofthe motherandtheunbaptisedinfant.Supposethatamother andaten-year-oldsonbothread "Gulliver'sTravels."Theboy willdelightintheexuberant fancyofSwiftandintheever changingimages.Themother willalsobeabletoappreciate thebittersocialandpolitical satireofthetales.Thechild hasnotthecapacityforsuch appreciation,butdoesnotregret hislimitations,isnotevenaware ofthem.Soanunbaptisedinfantanditsmotherwill,inthe lifetocome,bothfindcomplete happinessintheirknowledgeof God,butthemother,withthe higheranddifferentcapacity givenbygrace,hasahappiness ofwhichthechildisincapable. Butthechildisunawarethat suchhappinessispossibleand thereforedoesnotregretit.

"NoPopery,"inthecourseof anunpleasantletter,asks: "HavenotsomeCatholicsbeen grantedHonoursinrecentdistributions?Whydidoneofthem goabroadatonce?"(Ihave omiittedtomentionthenames whichyougive.)

Thiscommonteachinghasraiseddifficultiesfromanearlytime. St.Augustine,intheyear415, wrotetoSt.Jeromeaskingfor somehelpinhisperplexity. SaintJerome'sreplythrowsno lightonSt.Augustine'stroubles.

TraditionofBurial DatesBacktoJews

But,youmayask,ifthereis nothingintrinsicallyevilinthe practice,whyforbiditatall? Well,thereareanumberof goodreasonsagainstthismode ofdisposingofthebodiesofthe dead.Thepracticeofcremation wasreintroducedinEurope aftertheFrenchRevolutionbya gangofatheistswiththeideaof usingthispracticeasanexpressionoftheiratheism.Theyintendedbyburningthebodiesof thedeadtogivetestimonyof theirdenialthatthereisanother lifeafterthispresentone.They seemtohavethought,intheir childishway,thatbytheapparentlytotaldestructionofthe body,theywouldbeabletopreventitsresurrection.Suchan ideais,ofcourse,laughable,but thenatheistsarelikethat.At allevents,forthemthisdestructionwouldbeasymbolof theirdisbeliefthatmanwasto riseagain.Inthecircumstancesitwasnaturalthatthe Churchshouldtakestepsto counterthisimpiousattack.

Apartaltogetherfromthis practicalreason,therearemany otherreasonswhyCatholics havealwaysfrownedoncremation.Foronethingthereis theage-longtraditionextending rightbacktothedawnofrecordedhistorythatthefitting modeforthedisposalofthe bodiesofthedeadisearthburial.Thistraditionhasbeen constantintheChristianChurch andbeforethefoundationofthe ChurchintheJewishnation whichwasitsforerunner.That thereshouldhavebeensucha constanttraditionisinitselfa proofthatforthoseatleastwho worshipthetrueGodthereis somethingparticularlyfitting aboutthismodeofburial.Perhapsthisfittingnessisaccountedforbythebeliefheldby JewsaswellasbyChristians thatweshallallriseagainwith thebodieswhichwehadinthis life.Suchabeliefgivesanew significancetothesebodiesof ours,andnaturallydisposesus totreatthemwithrespect,not merelyduringlifebutalsoafter death.

ThePetition:ThyKingdomCome

Q.:"IntheOurFather,what isthemeaningof'ThyKingdomcome?"

A.:IthinkIcouldhardlydu betterthangiveyouthegistof whatthefamousexegateCornelius,aLapide,saysonthis textinhiscommentaryonSt. Matthew'sGospel,acommentarywhich,bytheway,hasbeen translatedintoEnglishbysome ofthedivinesofyourowndenomination.Thekingdomof God,hesays,isfourfold: 1.It istheempireofGodoverall createdthings.Ofthisitis saidinthepsalms,"Thykingdomisaneverlastingkingdom, andthydominionendureth throughoutallages."2.God's mysticalkingdom:bywhich, throughfaithandgrace,He reignsintheheartsofthefaithful.Itissuchakingdomas this,wherethedevilshould ceasetohavepower inthe worldandsinshouldnolonger reigninourmortalbodies,that St.Ambrose,St.Jeromeand Euthymiusthinkisheremeant. St.Ambrose,forinstance, writes:"Thepetitionis,thatthe kingdomofChristmaybeinus. IfGodreigninus,theadversary canhavenoplaceinus.Fault orsinreignsnot,butvirtue reigns,modestyanddevotion reign."

3.ThekingdomofGodisin heaven,whereHereignshappily andgloriouslyamongtheBlessed.Thisisthesenseinwhich TertulianandCypriantakethe petition."Well,indeed,"says St.Cyprian,"doweprayforthe kingdomofGod,thatistheheavenlykingdom,becausethereis alsoanearthlykingdom.But hewhohasrenouncedtheworld isalreadygreaterthanitshonoursanditskingdoms:andthus hewhodedicateshimselftoGod andtoChrist,desiresnotearthlybutheavenlykingdoms.

4. Thatisthekingdotnof God,mostperfectandcomplete, inwhich,afterthekingdomof thedevil,aftersinanddeath

havebeenaltogetherconquered anddestroyed,Godaloneshall ruleoverHisfriends,thatisthe saints,andHisenemies,theimpiousandreprobate.Andthis shallbeattheResurrectionand theDayofJudgment."

Thislast,saysaLapide,isthe bestwayofunderstandingthis petition,forthesefirstthree petitionsoftheLord'sPrayer areconcerneddirectlyonlywith God'shonourandglory,and withoursonlyasaconsequence. Themeaningthenisthis-We pray,0Lord,thatThoumayest reignwhollyandwithoutany adversary,thatallcreatures whatsoevermaybewhollysubjecttoThee.Hencealsowe askasaconsequenceforourselvesthatwemaybespeedilyremovedfromthisworldasfrom awearisomepilgrimageanda perilouswarfare,tothekingdom ofeverlastinggloryandhappiness,thatwemayreignwith ChristandHissaintsforever. ForthenshallGodwhollyreign inus,andweinGod,according tothewordsoftheApocalypse: "ThouhastmadeustoourGod akingdomandpriests,andwe shallreignupontheearth.'For thenshallGodbeallinall."

Logically,ItIsBettertoProveChrist's DivinityBeforetheDoctrineoftheTrinity

Thenextletterisfrom "Fabiola."Shewrites:
