Q.:IsMarytrulythe MotherofGod?
A.:Theanswerisawonderfulyes,forthereisno divinetruthmorebeautiful thanthatcontainedinthe divinematernityofMary.
Q.:Howdoweknowthat 'MaryistheMotherofGod?
A.:Weknowthissublime factontherevelationof God.Itwasfirstmade knowntomenindetail whentheangelGabrielannouncedtoMarythatshe wastoconceiveandbring forthaSon."Andthou shaltcallHisnameJesus. .Heshallbegreatandshall becalledtheSonofthe MostHigh"(Lukei,32). Andthentheangelwenton laexplainhowthiswonderfulmysterywouldtake placewherebyMary,a creature,wouldbecomethe MotherofGod:"TheHoly Spiritshallcomeuponthee andthepoweroftheMost Highshallovershadowthee; andtherefore,theHolyOne tobebornshallbecalled theSonofGod"(Lukei, 35).
Justastheconceptionof Jesus,throughthepowerof God,transcendednature,so thebirthofOurLordtranscendednature.Asthe "CatechismoftheCouncil ofTrent"says:"Heisborn ofHismotherwithoutany diminutionofhermaternal virginity,justasHeafterwardswentforthfromthe sepulchrewhileitwasclosedandsealed,andentered theroominwhichHisdiscipleswereassembled,the doorsbeingshut(Johnxx, 19);or,nottodepartfrom everydayexamples,justas heraysofthesunpenetrate withoutbreakingorinjuring intheleastthesolidsubstanceofglass,soafteralike butmoreexaltedmanner didJesusChristcomeforth fromHismother'swomb withoutinjurytohermaternalvirginity.Thisimmaculateandperpetualvirginityforms,therefore,the lustthemeofoureulogy Suchwastheworkofthe HolySpirit,whoatthe

WiththesewordsChrist conferredontheApostles andtheirsuccessors,thq powertrulytoforgivesins.
conceptionandbirthofthe SonsofavouredtheVirgin Motherastoimparttoher fecunditywhilepreserving inviolateherperpetualvirginity."
Q.:HowcouldMarybe theMotherofGod?
A.:Thereiscertainlyno truehistoricargument againstthefactthatMary isthemotherofthePersonwhowasknowninhistoryasChrist.Scripture provesbeyondtherealmof areasonabledoubtthat Christ,asthepromisedMessias,istrulytheSonofGod. Testimonytothisfactwas givenbyGodtheFather Himself"Nowitcameto passwhenallthepeoplehad beenbaptized,Jesusalso havingbeenbaptizedand beinginprayer,thatheaven wasopenedandtheHoly
SpiritdescendeduponHim inbodilyformasadove, andavoicecamefrom heaven,'ThouartmyBelovedSon,inTheeIam wellpleased'"(Lukeiii, 21-23).
BecauseChrististruly theSonofGod,itfollows thatMary,whoconceived andboreHim,istrulythe MotherofGod.Generation, doesnotterminateinanaturebutinaperson.Thus amotherissaidtobethe motherofapersonrather thanamotherofanature; thus,forexample,Mrs. Jonesiscalledthemother ofapersonwhoisJohn ratherthanthemotherofa naturewhoisJohn.Mary istrulythemotherofaDivinePerson,JesusChrist, theSonofGod;sheistruly theMotherofGod.
Q.Willthosewhoaresleep(die),butwe'shallall livingattheendofthebechanged." worldhavetodieatthat time,orwilltheycontinue tolive?
A.:Therehasnotbeen unanimityofopiniononthis pointamongCatholictheologians.ThedivisionresultedfromafaultyreadingoftheVulgateversion ofICor.xv,51:"Weshall allindeedrise,butweshall notallbechanged".Most oftheGreekmanuscriptsof theNewTestamentrender thisverse:"Weshallnotall
Q.:God'sstatementof theFourthCommandment includesapromisefor thosewhokeepit:"That thoumayestlivealong time,anditmaybewell withtheeinthelandwhich theLordthyGodwillgive thee"(Dent.v,16).Yet oftenthemostdutifulchild diesyoung.Coulditbe thatthispromiserefersonly toeternallife?
A.:No.God'spromise madeinconnectionwiththe FourthCommandmentrefers tophysicalaswellasspirituallife.Thefulfilmentof achild'sdutiestohisparentsiscalledfilialpiety, andSt.Paulsaysthatthis virtueis"profitableinall respects,sinceithasthe promiseofthepresentlife aswellasofthatwhichis tocome"(IITim.iv,8).
Thepromiseincludesnot onlylengthofdays,but alsopeaceandsecurityto livewell;cf.,"thatitmay bewellwiththee."
TheFathersoftheCouncilofTrentconcludedthat sometimesthebestchild diesyoung"becauseitis betterforhimtodepart fromthisworldbeforehe hasstrayedfromthepath ofvirtueandduty".
Isaiassaid,"Thejustman istakenawayfrombefore thefaceofevil"(Isa.lvii, 1).
Inthisinstance,God's rewardtopioussonsand daughtersconsistsintheir removalfromtheworldto enjoyeverlastinglife.
Thislatterreading,inthe judgmentofthebestScripturescholars,istobepreferred.Consequently,the morecommonopinionamong modernScriptureexperts, aswellasamongsomeof thegreatestChurchFathers, isthatthosealiveattheend oftheworldwillnotdie, thoughSt.Thomasheldthe oppositeview
Nordoesthiscontcadict theteachingthat"itisappointedforallmenonceto die."Thestatementneed notbetakeninitsmost exhaustiveextension.Itis certainlytruethatdeathis thegeneralrule,butthe rulecouldsufferthevery smallexceptionofthose comparativelyfewsurviving attheendoftheworld.
WhatPaulTaught
Thefactofthesurvival ofthelastmenisconfirmedbyIThess.iv,17:"Then wewholive,whosurvive (ontheLastDay),shallbe caughtuptogetherwiththem(thedeadjust)in cloudstomeettheLordin theair..."St.Paulsays nothingofthedeathofthe lastmen.
St.Paul"didnotvaryhis teachingthatthelastgene- rationofthejustwillbe clothed withoutwithimmortality experiencingdeath," statesFatherFernandPrat, S.J.,anoutstandingscholar oftroublesomePaulineteaching.Inthe textfromI Corinthians,St.Paulanswersthosewhoexpressed thedesiretoseetheworld's endsoasnottobeunder thenecessityofdying.The ApostleoftheGentilesdoes notdenythatthefinalge- nerationwillsurvive;rather hetakesitforgranted.

Q.:PleaseexplainChrist's words"Iamtheway,and thetruth,andthelife" (Johnxiv,6).

Q.:Ireadinanewspaper anadpublishedbya"faith healer"sect.Thissectapparentlyusesoccultwords andsignstoeffect"cures." Isnotthistypeofprocedurewrong?Isthereanysimilaritybetween"faith healing"andprayingfor thesick?
A"Faithhealing"that usesvainobservancesinan attempttoproduceacure iscontrarytothevirtueof religion,andhenceismorallywrong.St.Thomas Aquinascondemnedsuch practiceswhenthey"donot haveanaturalconnection withtheeffect(health)to beproduced."His-reason wasthat,sincenonatural connectionexistsbetween suchobservancesandtheir supposedeffects,theobservancesthemselvesaremerelyemptysigns,andcan thuspertainto"apactenteredintowiththedevil".

Q.:Howdoweknow Godcreatedtheworld?
Reason,ifunprejudiced andlogical,mustadmitthat theworldandthethingsin itdidnotcomeintoexistenceofthemselves.Onlyan adequatecausecanexplain theexistenceoftheworld. OnlyGod,aninfiniteCreator,canbethatadequate cause.
Andagain"IamtheLord, thatalonemakeallthings,thatalonestretchoutthe heavens,thatestablishthe earth,andthereisnone withMe"(Is.xliv,24).
Itisnotstrange,therefore,thatcreationoutof nothingshouldbeadogma offaith,whichhasfound expressioninthevarious creeds:"IbelieveinGod, thecreatorofheavenand earth."
Beyondthisreasoningwe haveGod'swordforthefact ofcreation.InSacredScripturewereadinthefirst chapterofGenesis:"Inthe beginningGodcreated heavenandearth"(i,1).The samedoctrineisfoundin thePsalms,whereeverythingissaidtohavebeen madebythesimplewordof God;intheSapientialbooks, whereitisassertedthat, Godmadeallthings,even theabyssesandeventhat whichtousseemsevil(hail, famine.death).
God,SoleCause
Itisstatedclearlyinthe SecondBookofMachabees, wherethemotherofthe martyredMachabeebrothers,"beingfilledwithwisdom,"asScripturesays,thus addressesheryoungestson: "Ibeseechthee,myson,look uponheavenandearthand allthatisinthem;andconsiderthatGodmadethem outofnothingandmankind also"(vii,28).

Q.:Ihadalwaysbelieved thatSt.MatthewtheEvangelistwasthesamemanas theLevimentionedbyMark andLuke-thepublican whomChristcalledtobe HisApostle.Anon-Catholic acquaintancetoldmethat MatthewandLeviwere twodifferentpersons.Which iscorrect?
A.:Theoverwhelming weightofopiniongoeswith theidentityofMatthew andLeviasthesameman
Those,inasmallminority, whoholdtheopposite,point tothisargument:Matthew nevercallshimselfLevi, andLeviisnevercalled MatthewbytheotherEvangelists. Scholarswhostandbythe identityofMatthewand Levithusanswerthisargument:St.Paulnevercalls himselfSaul;andyetSaul andPaulwerecertainly identical.TheFathersofthe ChurchsaythatMarkand LukeneveridentifiedMatthewwiththepublican Levibecausetheywantedto shieldhisgoodname(publicanswerescornedbythe orthodoxJews).Onthe otherhand,Matthewconfessedclearlyhisformer occupationasasignofhumilityandtoencourage otherwould-beconvertsto embracetheChristianfaith.
