ForgivenessofSins

Q.:InthewordsofOur Lord,nothingismentioned aboutconfessingone'ssins toapriest.Whydoesthe Churchinsistonsucha practice?

A.:Thepowerthatwas conferredbyChristmustbe exercisedinajudicialact, thatisbytryingthecase.

Theproofofthisliesinthe factthathewasactually revivedbymedicaltreatment.Ifthesoulhadbeen releasedfromthebody,the doctorswouldhavefoundit impossibletorevivethe man.Thesoulisthevital principleofthebody.Withoutthesoul'spresencelife cannotreturntothebody, nomatterhowgreatthe skillofthephysicianwho :attemptstorevivethevictim.

Q.:Christianityteachesthatwemustloveourenemies.Doesitnotseemcontrarytonaturetohaveto loveapersonwhoobviouslyhatesyou?

A.:Toloveone'senemies iscontrarytohumannature,butnotcontraryto supernature,whichisengenderedinthesoulbythe infusionofGod'sgrace.The obligationoflovingone's neighbourarisesspecifically fromChrist'sdoublepre ceptofcharity-thenecessityoflovingGodabove all,andoflovingone's neighbourfortheloveof God.TheSaviour,whomade itclearthatwemustexcludenoonefromourattitudeofcharity,saidthat the"wholelaw"iscontainedintheloveofGodand neighbour.

Herod'ssolutionofthe problemwascharacteristic ofhisdiplomacy.HewouldholdtheRomancensusin hiskingdom,butnotbythe Romanmethod.Itwasthe Romancustomtoenrolpeo- pleintheiractualplaceof residence.TheJewswould resentthismethod,sohe wouldnumberthepeople accordingtotheirowncustoms.

Fromancienttimesthe Jewshadbeenorganised into12tribes,subdivided intofamilies,andtheninto households.Ifanyman hadmovedfromtheplace oforiginofhishouseand family,hewouldbesureto bringbackorsendback thenamesofanychildren borntohimabroad,thus keepinghisgeneologyupto date.Josephustestifiesto thefactthattheselistswere carefullypreservedand thatthe"publicrecords" weretobefoundatthe headquartersofthetribe.

These soughttheirwritinginthe record,andfounditnot:and theywerecastoutofthe priesthood"(2Esd.7:61, 64).
