Nowthatthecoronation festivitieshavedescended intobathoswiththeQueen's visittoNorthernIreland, theroyal"welcome"having beenensuredwiththeaid ofpolice-Statemethods,itis probablynotsoanomalous thatgroupsofearnestpeople areprotestingattheomnsionofthetitle"Defender oftheFaith"fromtheconageofourcountry. WhatIdofindpuzzling iswhythesepeopledidnot bestirthemselveswhenthe title"EmperorofIndia"was dropped.For,byoneofthe fewactsofpoliticalrealism inourtime,bothtitleswere disposedofbecausethere wasnocongruitybetween theirhistoricsignificance andthepresentaspirations oftheBritishthrone.
Themonthlymeetingof theCatholicNursesguild willbeheldintheFlorence Nightingaleclubroomson Wednesday,July15,at8 p.m.TheRev.J.McNamar willbetheguestspeaker.
Therewereseveralpoints ofsimilarityinthetwo titles.TheIndianpeopledid notconferthetitleonthe Englishreigninghouse.It wasarrogatedbyVictoria asanactofself-adulation forBritain'sdefactorule overtheIndians.Whenthat militaryandpoliticalsituationceasedtoexist,the self-conferredhonourdisappearedwithit.
Thetitleof-Defenderof theFaith"wasconferred upontheCatholicHenry VIIIbythePopeinacknowledgementofthemonarch's orthodoxyindefendingthe sevenSacramentswithhis pen.Evenwhenhelaunchedintoschismwiththe ActsofSupremacy,theking didnotrevokehisbeliefin theSacraments(eventhe SacramentofMatrimony) norinanyotherdoctrineof theCatholicChurch.
WithhisdeathandtheaccessionofCecil(orElizabeth,asiscommonlybelieved)Englandexperienced officiallyachangeof"faith," thoughittookovera centuryofrackandropeto imposeitpopularly.Now Elizabethretainedthetitle "DefenderoftheFaith"despitethepatentfactthatshe hadsetitsruinintrain alongthelinesofconspiracy laiddownbyCecil.Thetitle hadnotmerelybecome meaningless.Ittookonthe positivecharacterofalie, reflectinginquiteastartling way,thecynicismofCecil andthegullibilityofElizabeth.
Nobody,itseems,averted tothequestionofusurpation.
Perhapsthatwasnatur..1 enoughwhentheveryright ofsuccessionmighthave beenchallengedonthe groundsofillegitimacy.It yetremainedthatthetitle, "DefenderoftheFaith"was apersonalonegivento Henryforaspecificactof loyaltytotheCatholic Church.Itwasnotinanywayhereditaryasthough vestedintheBritishcrown.

WASHINGTON(NCI.-Stigmatamay havedsupernaturalorigin,butthatdoesnot meantheycannotalsobecausedbythe emotions. SowritesFatherJamesVander Veldt,O.F.M.,oftheCatholicUniversityof America,inanarticleinthecurrentissueof the"AmericanEcclesiasticalReview,""An EvaluationoftheKonnersreuthControversy"
Thearticleconcernsthe caseoftheGermanstigmatist,ThereseNeumann, ofKonneisreuth.Nothing FatherVandeVeldtstates, hasyetbeendecidedasto thesupernaturalorigin.of herstigmata,thewoundsof Christ,whichhavebeenappearingsince1926.While givingnoexplanationof givingnoexplanationof theircauseshimself,the authordiscussesthetheories ofothers.
Personswhoholdthat MissNeumann'sstigmata mustbesupernaturalbecausesheleadsaholylife arewrong,heclaims,since theChurchteachesthat personalsanctitylisnot conclusiveproofofthesupernaturaloriginofstigmata.
Ontheotherhand,he adds,peoplewhoarguethat herstigmatacannotbesupernaturalbecausesheisnot holyenough,areequally wrong.Lackofpersonal piety,hepointsout,quoting PopeBenedictXIV,isnot adequateevidencefordenyingthesupernaturalnature ofstigmata.
ThosewhoclaimthatMiss Neumann'swoundsarenaturallycaused-mostof whommaintaintheyarea symptomofsomeformof hysteria-havefailedto bringforwardsufficient prooffortheircontentions, heasserts.Headds,however.thattheymaybecorrect.
Ithasbeenshownexperimentally,hepointsout,that purelynaturalemotionscan producestigmata.Healso notesthattwoprominent authoritiesonthesubject, FathersThurstonandSiwek,holdthatinallknown casesofstigmatisationthe tigmatistswerehighlynervousandevenhysterical people.
Thus,heconcludes;stigmatamaybepsychosomatic phenomena.Thatis,they maybephysicalmanifestationsofemotionalstates. Therisingnumberofrecognisedpsychosomaticdiseases,hedeclares,givesincreasingevidencethatmany peoplereactphysicallyto emotionalstressorother strongfeelings.
But,hestates,evenif stigmataarepsychosomatic phenomena,itdoesnotfollowthattheyarebasicilly onlynatural.Whilean emotionalconditionmaybe theirimmediatecause,he pointsout,theirunderlying causemaybeeithernatural orsupernatural.
Forexample,hewrites: "Godmayproduceincertainpersonsanemotional conditionandsuchemotionalconditionmayexternaliseitselfinthebody. Stigmatathatsoresultare naturalinthemselvesinso farastheyaretheproduct ofapurelynaturalstateof emotion,buttheyaresup-
