Iamsorrythatyouarehavingtroublewithyourlittle niece.Youwrite: "Ihaveanieceofeightyears ofage,whoattendsaCatholic school.Forachildoftender yearssheisafrightfulliar." A.:Iseemtohaveheardthat storybefore.IfIremember rightly,Ihadanothercorrespondentwithideasverysimilar toyourownwhocomplainedin

ImmaculateConception DefinedBeforeLourdes

Thenextquestioncanbeansweredverybriefly.Itisthis:

"Isitafactthatthedoctrine oftheImmaculateConception wasfirstrevealedtoapeasant girlinavillageintheSouthof France,andthatthedoctrine waslaterdefinedbythe Church?"

A.:No,thatisnotafact.The apparitionofOurLadytoBernadetteatLourdestookplace somefouryearsafterthedefinitionofthedogmaoftheImmaculateConceptionin1854.Ifyou like,youmayregardtheseapparitionsandthenumberless miracleswhichhavesincebeen workedatLourdes,andarestill takingplacethere,asagracious recognitiononOurLady'spart ofthesolemndefinitionbythe Churchofhersingularprivilege.

DemandforDateandPlaceofSatan'sFall RevealsIgnoranceofWords'Meanings

"Interested,"ofPerth,writes: "IhearditstatedthatChrist sawthedevildescendingfrom Heaven.Thismustsurelyhave beenanimportantevent.Can yougivethedayandtheyear andtheplacewhereittook place?Failingtodoso,you mustadmititispurefiction."

A.:Mydearfriend,youareevidentlywhatwecallnowadaysa wishfulthinker.Itbynomeans followsfromthefactthatone cannotassignaplaceanddate toaneventthattheeventdid nothappen.Idon'tsuppose youhaveevergivenmuch thoughttothenatureoftime andspace.Hadyoudoneso, withanyprofittoyourself,you wouldnothaveframedyour questionasyoudid.Idon'tintendtounrollto-night,orany othernightforthatmatter,the problemofthenatureoftime andspace.Itisquitesufficientformypurposetopointout thattimeandspace,whatever theirultimatenature,areinseparablefromextendedchangeablebeing.Beforethecreation ofthematerialuniversethere wasnosuchthingastimeor place.Hence,tospeakofthe dateandplaceofSatan'sfallis merelytoshowignoranceofthe meaningofthewordsoneis using.Possiblyyoudonotrealisethatsomethingcanbereal withoutbeingmaterial.Ifthat isso,perhapsyouhadbetter postponeyourenquiriesinto Satan'shistoryuntilyouhave convincedyourselfthatthere aresuchbeingsasspiritswhich areveryreal,butatthesame

Archaic,ModernPhrase UsedinLord'sPrayer

Anotherquestionfrom"Interested."Sheasks:

"Wouldyoukindlytellme whysomechurchessay111 earth'andothers'onearth,' whensayingtheLord'sPrayer?"

A.:Theform"inearth"is moreprimitivethantheother, andisareminderthattheOur FatherinitsEnglishformdates fromthetimeofHenryVIII.

Thereisreasontobelieve thatthe"bourgeoisnationaldeviationism"theCommunists chargeismanifestingitselfin Czechoslovakiagoesdeeperthan manysuspect.Therearedefiniteindicationsthatithaspenetratedallclassesofthepopulation,thosewhowerealways faithfultotheidealsofthe Westandthosewhoarenow convertedfellow-travelersand ex-Communists.Therehasbeen agradualawakeninginCzechoslovakiatotheultimateconsequencesofthecommunist regime.

Thisisthecommonopinionoftwonotedconverts, oneChineseandtheotherJewish,whohaverecentlywrittentheirautobiographies.Dr.Karl Stern,Germanphysicianandauthorof"ThePillarofFire,"publishedbyHarcourtBrace,writes:

"ThusImadeanotherimportantdiscovery.Christianityconfirmedandbelievedeverything whichJewrybelieved,butaddedonefundamentalassertion Jewryrejected.Heresiesare basedondenials.Inthissense Christianitywasnoheresyfrom Judaism;itrejectednothingessentialbutmadeanewpositive claim. Onaspiritualplane ChristianityisJewry.Itis Jewryledtoitsfulfilment."

Theotherconvert-authoris Dr.JohnC.Wu,formerAmbassadorofNationalistChinatothe HolySee,whowrote"Beyond EastandWest,"publishedby SheedandWard.

Aneminentjurist,philosopher,authorandteacher,aswell asadiplomat,Dr.Wu'svaried careerhasmadehimwidely knowninbothEastandWest. HewaseducatedinChinaand theUnitedStates,andhas taughtinbothcountries.He isformerpresidentoftheInternationalCourtatShanghai,and wastheprincipalauthorofNationalistChina'sconstitution.He isnowprofessorofphilosophy attheUniversityofHawaii.

AMethodistconvertbeforehe becameaCatholic,Dr.Wuwas firstattractedtotheChurchby thewritingsofCardinalNewman.HefinallydecidedtoentertheChurchafterreadingthe autobiographyofSt.Theresaof Lisieux.Describinghisconversion,Dr.Wuwrites:

"Ioftenthinkofmyselfasa MagusfromChina,wholays beforetheDivineInfantinthe armsoftheBlessedVirginthe goldofConfucianism,themusk ofTaoism,andthefrankincenseofBuddhism.Atasingue touchbyHishands,whateveris falseinthemispurified,and whateverisgenuineistransmutedintosupernaturalvalues. ByembracingtheTrueChurch ofChrist,Ihavelostnothing, butgainedall."

Dr.Stern,firstanOrthodox JewandlateraMarxist,left GermanyduringtheNazipersecutionoftheJews,andfinally wenttoMontreal,wherehebecameamemberofthestaffof McGilluniversity.Hisconversion,whichbeganinGermany,wascompletedinCanada, wherehewasreceivedintothe Church.

Amongtheessentialqualities oftheCatholicPressshouldbe thefollowing:-TruthtoCatholicprinciples;ability;independenceofentanglingalliance with,orsubservienceto,politicalparties;fearlessness,temperedwithapropermeasure ofdiscretion;andfinally,a spiritofChristiancourtesyto all,andoffraternalunionand mutualcharitytowardsthose whoareourcomradesandcoworkersinthesacredcauseof Catholicjournalism.
