Americansoldiershereduringthewarhadreturnedto theStateswithmostfavourablereportsofAustraliaand Australians,withtheresult thatFatherPeytonandhis associatesfeltthatAustralia mustbeincludedinthecrusadeatallcosts.

Whenpeopleheardofthe numbersjoiningthecrusade theybegantorealisethat perhaps,afterall,itwould makesomedifferencetothe world.Alreadyeightmillion pledgeshavebeensigned,and amongthosewere4,250from ProtestantsinNewYork State.Withthatinmind, peoplerealisedthatthiscrusademightchangehistory, becausemillionsweredoing it.

Herewasareligiouspriest (FatherPeytonbelongstothe CongregationoftheHoly Cross)travellingacrossAmerica,trespassingintoanother Bishop'sdomain,withoutany connectionoranyintroductioninHollywood.However, heleftthingsinGod'shands, andprayedveryfervently throughoutthewholejourney.

WhenhearrivedinHollywood,hetookataxitothe nearestCatholicChurch, whichhappenedtobethe Cathedral,toasktheguidanceoftheHolySpiritonhis undertaking.Goingacrossto therectory,hewastoldthat thepriest-in-chargewouldbe returninginanhouranda half.

Hespentthattimein church,andeventuallywas Introducedtothevicargeneralwho,byahappydesignofProvidence,camefrom FatherPeyton'sownhome towninIreland.

FlockedtoCause

FatherPeyton'sworkin thisspherehadtakenhimas farafieldasAlaska,where afewyearsagohemet FatherHubbard,S.J..the famousglacierpriest.Shortly afterwards,FatherPeyton's dreamofencirclingtheworld withRosariesfromPoleto Polematerialised,when FatherHubbardflewoverthe NorthPoleanddroppeda plasticboxcontainingasmall three-inchstatueofOur BlessedLady,togetherwith apairofRosarybeadsanda writtenpetitionaskingOur Ladytoblesstheirwork.

SmallBeginnings

FatherPeytonbeganthe FamilyRosaryCrusadeina verysmallway,andatfirst, peoplethoughttheideawas old-fashioned.Theyadmired hiszeal,andlistenedtohis sermons,butitdidn'toccur tothemthattheycouldhelp bysayingtheFamilyRosary intheirownhomes.

Thelackofco-operation worriedFatherPeyton,buthe continuedwithdetermination.

Eventheleadersofthe churchsaidthathewouldn't breakthroughthebarrierand inthelongrunhewouldhave tobesatisfiedifonlythe devoutheededhismessage.

ButFatherPeytonwanted todomoreforOurBlessed Mother-hewantedtohave everyfamilyprayingthe Rosary.Itevenoccurredto himthatperhapstheRosary wastoolong,andshouldbe brokendown.

Butno-afterall,hadn't OurLadyherselfrecommendeditatFatima,calling herself"OurLadyofthe Rosary,"andgentlychiding thechildrenforshortening herlovelyprayer?

Peoplemightaskwhythose Americanpriestswererushingaround,disturbingeverybody'slife,simplybecause theywantedpeopletosaythe FamilyRosary.Theanswer wasthattheywantedtoconvincepeopleofthepowerof theRosary,andsobringon morequicklythateraoftrue peacewhichOurLadypromisedatFatima.Ifonly peoplewouldpaymoreheed tothatmessagenow,ours wouldbethehappygenerationtopossessthatpeace.

DuringthecrusadeinEnglandlastyear,theHoly outhowourBlessedMother Fatherhadsentahand-writtenmessagetothepeople whichwasreadoutatarally inWembleyStadium.Inthat message,HisHolinessstated that"neverdidtheworld needprayerasitneedsittoday,"andhewentontosay that"thebestprayeris FamilyPrayer."

"Wefindabundantproof ofthisstateofthings,"the Popecommented,"inspectaculartrialswellknownto allofus,withtheirconfessions,self-accusationsand demandsforpitilesschastisements."

Emphasisingthattheessentialsafeguardoflawis theimpartialcompositionof thecourtandthatthejudge bebiasedneitherpersonally norfortheState,thePontiffdeclaredthat"the'populartribunals'intotalitarianStateswerecomposed entirelyofmembersofthe partyinpowerandoffered `nojuridicalguarantee."

YoureportadisagreementamongyourCatholic friendsonthisquestion. Withoutenteringintothat discussion,whichseemsto me-tohavegotitselflost inunverifiabledetail,let mesimplytellyouwhat thetraditionoftheChurch isinthismatter.

Fromtheearlycenturies oftheChristianera,ithas beenexplicitlytaughtthat thebirthofChristwasa virginalone,inthefull senseoftheword.Thatis tosay,HisMotherwasa virgin,notmerelywhenshe conceivedHim,butalso whensheboreHim.Her physicalintegritywasnot destroyed,inthecustomary way,bytheprocessofparturition.

Napoleon'sAnnulment FromJosephineInvalid

"Non-CatholicStudent", SafetyBay,writes: Iamastudentofhistory, andamnowstudyingthe Napoleonicera.Willyou pleaseadvisemeonthefollowingpoints:

(i)WhywereNapoleon andMarie-LouiseofAustria marriedbytheritesofthe CatholicChurch?Hehad divorcedJosephine,with whomhehadcontracteda validmarriage.

A.Napoleon'soriginal marriagewithJosephine wasapurelycivilone. However,beforehiscoronationinNotreDameCathedral,in1804,hesubmitted, withabadgrace,tothe demandofPopePiusVII thatthismarriageberegularizedbytheChurch.The ceremonywasperformed privately,inthepalaceof theTuileries,byNapoleon's uncle,CardinalFesch.Witnesses,itseems,werenot admitted,butFeschhadall thenecessaryfacultiesfrom thePopeforconvalidating themarriage.

ThreeyearslaterNapoleondecidedtomarryagain, inthehopesofhavingan heir.HerepudiatedJosephinebyacivildivorce,and enteredintonegotiationsfor thehandofMarie-Louise, daughteroftheAustrian Emperor.Thecourtof Vienna,however,insisted thatthewaytothissecond marriagebedeclaredopen fromthereligiouspointof view,aswellasthecivil.

PopeNotConsulted Napoleon,atthattime, wasmasterofhalfEurope. Hehadbeenbullyingthe Popeforyears,andhadat lastmadehimhisprisoner, atSavona.However,hedid notapplytothePopefora solutionofhismarriage problem(knowing,probably,thathewouldgetno helpfromthatquarter). Instead,hesetecclesiasti calmachineryinmotionin Paris.

h d

eemstohaveactedingood aith.TheFrenchambasadoratViennagavehim iswordofhonourthatthe entencepronouncedbythe iocesanauthoritiesof Pariswaslegal.Hemust laverealizedlaterthat hiswasnotthecase,buthe wasprobablyinnoposition oseethroughthehoaxat hetime.Onthefaceof hings,atleast,hisdaugherseemedtobemarrying amanwhohadneverbeen properlymarriedbefore. AustriansHoaxed Themarriagetookplace onApril1st,1810.Thirteen cardinalsthenpresentin Parisrefusedtoattendthe ceremony,andwerepromptlypunishedbyNapoleon.It isfairlyclearthatnotonly churchmeningeneral,but alsotheordinarypeople, soonrealizedthatNapoleon hadsimplygothisownway byintimidation,andthat thissecondmarriagewas quiteinvalid.Josephinewas veryfarfrombeingamodel consort,orevenfrombeing aproperlymoralwoman, butshewascommonlyand quitecorrectlylookedupon asbeingNapoleon'sreal wife,andtherewasmuch sympathyforher.

Youwrite: (iii)WhatwasthepositionoftheEmpressMarieLouiseintheeyesofthe CatholicChurch?Sheseems tohavebeendevout.

A.Icannotvouchfor herdevoutness.Shewas probably,however,ingood faithatthetimeofcontractingthemarriageto Napoleon.Butintheeyes oftheChurch,shewasnot hislegitimatewife.'She becamealienatedfromNapoleonduringhisexileat Elba,fouryearsafterthe marriage,andshedidnot considerherselfobligedto remainfaithfultohim,ap-parently,duringthefinal exileatSt.Helena.

Finally,youask:

seaprinceoftheChurchis spiteofallthatoccurred.

A.:CardinalFeschisa rathercontroversialfigure. Ishouldn'tcare,however, tosaythathe"gaveinto allNapoleon'swhims".He wasNapoleon'suncle,and hestrovetoreconcilea familyloyaltywithhis deeperloyaltytothe Church.His methodsweresometimes ratherdubious,buthecourageouslydefendedthePope onoccasionagainstNapoleon,incurringimperialdispleasureandthelossof subsidies.Andhecertainly strovehard,withsuccess, topreventNapoleon'srupturewithRomefrominvolvingtheChurchofFrance inschism.

Thereisnoevidencefor thisintheNewTestament itself,butthetraditionof theChurch,asrepresented byearlyChristianwriters comparethevirginalbirth ofChristwiththepassage ofHisglorifiedbody,after theResurrection,through closeddoors.

StrongTradition

Letmemerelyaddthat thereareexcellenttheologicalreasonsforthefurther assertionthattheMotherof Christwassparedthepains ofchild-birth.Thesereasons aresupportedbythevoice ofThetraditiontowhichSt. Jeromewitnesses,whenhe says,inhisfamouswork againstthehereticHelvidius:"Therewasnomidwifethere,nosedulous womenattendants...She wraptHimupinswaddling clothes,andlaidHimin manger."

Anattemptwasmadeto provethatthereligiousregularizationofthemdriage withJosephinewasnull andvoid,owingtotheabsenceofwitnesses.Doubt wasalsothrownontheintentionwithwhichNapoleonhadsubmittedtothe ceremony.However,the casefortheannulmentof themarriagewassoweak astobepracticallynonexistent,andtheutmost thattheecclesiasticalpromoterofthecausefeltable todowastorecommend thatNapoleonmakegood thepossibledefectsinhis marriagetoJosephine.But ofcourseNapoleonhadno intentionofdoingthat.

WeDon'tGetStateAssistanceFor OurSchoolsBecauseWeDon'tAsk

Sir,-Thereportofthe RoyalCommissiononKindergartenswaspublished recently.Itisofinterest thatitrecognisesthatmore childrenaregivenkindergartenorpre-schooleducationinschoolsnotassociatedwiththeKindergarten unionthaninthosethatare associated.Amongstthe non-associatesare,ofcourse, ourpre-schoolagechildren inconventschools.

ThegranttotheKindergartenunionschoolsisto beraisedtoafigureof£8 perchildperannum,plus administrationandother costs,whichbringthetotal granttotheK.U.upto £22,000perannum.

Bycontrast,granttochildreninourownschoolsis notmentioned,andis,in fact,anissuewhichisconvenientlyside-steppedfor theverygoodreasonthat neithertheGovernmentnor theRoyalCommissioners fortheenquiryhavebeen stronglypressedforsuch aid.Wheremoneyfrom theGovernmentisconcerned,thegeneralruleisin fact"nothingask,nothing grant."

Amajorreasonthatwe donotgetanyhelpwith ourschoolsatkindergarten levelisthat,althoughwe makemuchcomplaintabout hardship,wenever,andapparentlyhavenever,taken thesimpledirectstepof pressingandaskingtheGovernmentforanyhelpwith Catholicschools.

Toemphasisethedifference,-itisinterestingto tracethewayinwhichthe KindergartenUnionhas obtaineditspresentfavouredpositionasaneducational bodyprovidingatypeof educationoutsidethatof theStateSchoolsystem.

ThisCommissionhas furtherconsolidatedthe K.U'spositionandgivenit moremoneyandasomewhatmorepermanentestablishmentinthefaceofconsiderableoppositionfrom Governmenteducationinterestsandtheonlycontrolit hasacceptedfromtheGovernmentisGovernment inspection.

Bycontrast,although Catholicschoolshavelong concededrightofinspection totheGovernment,they haveneverbeengiven moneytohelpthemtomaintainstandards.

Nowifpoliticiansareapproachedonthesubjectof aidtoCatholicschools,and theyarenotallowedtoside -steptheissue,inthewri-

ter'sexperiencetheyalways agreeinprincipleandwill promisesympathytowards aidfornon-Stateschools.

Buttheyalwayssuggest, andmostrightlysuggest, thattheycannotdoanythingtowardsobtainingaid fornon-Stateschoolsuntil theyareaskedtodoso;and theywilladdthattheyare neveraskedbythosein authority.

Perhapsasaparentwho suffersconsiderablestringencyinkeepingalarge familyatCatholicschools, andwhoisbynomeans satisfiedthatthestandards ofbuildings,equipmentand staffingareadequatetothe needsofmoderneducation, itisallowabletolookfor reasonswhythoseoverus donottakethesimpleand directstepofaskingforaid toCatholicschools.

Inconsequenceofthe continuedpolicyofnotmakingadefiniteapproachto theGovernmentfon,aidfor ourschools,wefindthatthe WestAustralianPremieris abouttogotoCanberrato askforfurtheraidfromthe Commonwealthtomeetrisingeducationcostsinthis State.But,althoughthe LabourPartyiscommitted toaplatformof"aidfor allformsofeducation",Mr. Hawkeisnotseekingmoney toimplementsuchapolicy becausehehasnotbeen askedto.Untilheispressedstronglyonthispointhe isunlikelytomakeany movehimself.

ConspiracyOfEventsWhich FavouredLuther'sRevolt

InourlastarticlewesaidthattheProtestantReformationwasduenotonlytothe leadersofthenewmovement,butalsotothe religious,cultural,politicalandsocialconditionsofthetime.Letuslookalittlemore closelyatthesebeforeturningtoother matters.

Wemustrememberthat,whodenouncedRomewithduringthecenturypre-outdemandinganyhigher cedingtheReformation,thestandardofvirtuethanthat Renaissancehadbrought therevivalofthepagan GreekandLatinclassics, andthesenotonlydiverted men'smindsfromthestudy ofCatholicphilosophyand theology,butledtocorruptionoflifeamongsttheeducatedclasses.

Moreover,manyofthe bishopsandpriests,farremovedfromRome,hadbeen toosubservienttosecular authorityandhadneglected toenforcethedisciplineof theChurch,thusweakening theirholduponthepeople. Asaresult,discontentpervadedalmosteveryphaseof society.

CorruptioninChurch

Nowsocietyisdiseased whenlargenumbersare discontentedwiththeirlot; andclergy,princesandpeasantswerealikedissatisfied.

Bishopswereworldly,enjoyingrichbenefices,whilst ignorantandpovertystrickenpriestsabounded asaclerical"proletariate".

Themcnasteries,too,resentedtheinterferenceand exactionsofbishops,and werethemselvesonlytoo oftenoflaxobservance,with consequentinternaldissensions.

Manyoftheclergy,therefore,bothreligiousand secular,werereadyto throwawaytheirvocations andfollowthestillmore lenientgospelofMartin Luther.

Thepeople,leftuninstructedandincredibly ignorantoftheirreligion, didnotdiscerntherealevil oftheseparatistmovement, andwereeasilyswayedby theideasofthereformers,

whichhadprevailed.

Butbesidesthesereligious andculturalfactors,politicalconditionscontributed greatlytowardsthesuccess oftheProtestantrevolt.The prestigeofthePapacyinaffairsofStatethroughout Europehadsteadlydeclined duringthetwocenturies priortotheReformation, andtheauthorityofthe Emperorhadalsobeen greatlyundermined.

Forthegreaterpartof thefourteenthcenturythe Popeshadbeencompelledto liveawayfromRomeat Avignon,inFrance,leaving themselvesopentothe charge,byothernations,of beingunderFrenchpoliticalinfluence.

Again,almostimmediatelyaftertheirreturntoRome, therecamewhatisknown asthe"GreatWestern Schism,"when,besidesthe lawfulPope,therewere twoanti-Popes,eachpre- tendingtopossesssupreme authorityovertheChurch.

IsShare-Holding ClassWarReply?

When,towardstheclose ofthenineteenthcentury theneweconomicmethods andthenewdevelopment ofindustryhadappeared,itbecamemoreandmoreobviousthathumansociety wasdividedintotwoclasses. Thefirstclasscomprisedthe wealthymanufacturers,who enjoyedpracticallyallthe variouscomfortsoffered thembymodernscientific inventions.

Thesecondclassconsistedoftheimmensemultitude ofworkingmen,whowere extremelypoor,andwho "struggledinvaintoescape fromthestraitswhichencompassedthem."

Therichwerequitecontentwiththeseaffairs;the poor,ofcourse,soughtrelief.Manywerecarried awayunderevilguidance, seekingopenrevolt.Others tookrefugeinmoremoderatemeans.

ExtremeClaims

Asgenerallyhappens whenmattersarediscussed hotly,theanswersproposed aretwoextremes,eachregardedbytherespective championsastheonlytrue solutionofallproblems.The samethinghappenedwhen capitalandlabourclashed. Eachstooduponitsprerogatives.

Theoutcomewasthat capitalunjustlyclaimed that"byaninexorableeconomiclawallaccumulationofrichesmustfallto theshareofthewealthy, whiletheworkingmanmust remainperpetuallyinindigence,orreducedtothe minimumneededforexistence."

Labour,inoppositionto thatfictitious"inexorable law,"baseditsclaimsupon anequallyfalsemoralprinciplewhenitdemanded "thatallproductsandprofits,exceptingthoserequiredtorepairandreplaceinvestedcapital,belongby everyrighttotheworkingman."
