AlthoughEachHasDivineNature

ThreePersonsOfHoly TrinityAreYetDistinct

CatholicismAloneWill NotCreateFalseGods

byC.J.HORROCKS,B.A.

Weallknowandfeelintenselythatthe CatholicFaithgivesussomeuniqueadvantageoverotherformsofChristianity,but whenitcomestoansweringthequestion, "What'sthedifference?"wemayfindourselvesatalosstoexplainjustwhatthoseadvantagesare.

Weallknowthatweare membersoftheOneTrue ChurchfoundedbyOur LorduponSt.Peterandthe Apostles;thatthepowerto pardonortoretainsins wastransmittedfromthe earliesttimesthroughthe SacramentofOrdinationor theLayingonofHands; thatwealonecanshow unbrokenhistoricalcontinuity;thatChristOurLord keptHisPromisetobe "withyoualldayseven untotheconsummationof theworld"byHisRealPresenceintheHolyEucharist andintheHolyTabernacle oftheAltar;thatwemay receiveHim,completeinall HishumanityandDivinity inthesameBlessedSacrament;thatHeiseverpresentuponouraltars,where wemaymeetHim,talkto Him,tellHimthatwelove Him,askHishelpand comfortinallourtrialsand difficultiesandneveraskin vain.

thatwehavetheprivilege ofsharinginHissufferings; thatwecan"offerthemup" byunitingourcrosseswith theCrossofChrist.We knowthatHehasmadeus (throughBaptism)membersofHisMysticalBody: theChurch,and,fromthat momentofourBaptism, weknowthatwearejoinedtoHim,asthebranches tothevine,foralleternity.. andcanneverbeseparated fromHimunlessitbe throughdeliberatemortal sin.

Allthisweknow.But thereisoneaspectofthis differencebetweenourreligionandotherreligions thatisnotsufficientlyunderstoodorrealizedby mostofusCatholics.Itis thepeculiarfactthatothers -perhapsmostofthemareforevermakingGod intheirownlikeness.

Now,thereallyunique thingabouttheCatholic religionisthatitdoes nothingofthesort.Onthe contrary,itaccepts Christ'steaching,literally, becauseHeistheTruth.It leavesallmannerofmysteriestobeexplainedwhen itshallpleaseGodtoexplainthem,anditbelieves everywordHesaidbecause Hecanneitherdeceivenor bedeceived.

TheBishopwasalsoasked aboutrestrictionsonthe pressandlabourmovemen inSpain

BishopHerrerasaidhe himselfhasfrequentlycalledforanewpresslawguaranteeinggreaterfreedom. Hepointedoutthatthegovernmenthasnamedacommitteewhichisnowdrawingupamoreliberalpress law.
