Adm DiscoveryUnder St.Peter'sUpholds ClaimsFromPast

"Well-Wisher'",Mt.Lawley,writes:

Ihearthatrecentexcavationsunderthebasilicaof St.Peter'sinRomehave broughttolightthebones ofthePrinceoftheApostles.Thisshouldputanend, atlonglast,totheidea fosteredbyanti-Catholic propagandathatSt.Peter wasneverinRome.Would youcaretocommenton this?

A.:Yes,Ishould.Firstof all,therewasnoneedto waitfortheexcavationsof 1939-49todismissthat "canard"ofold-fashioned propagandists,thatSt.Peter wasneverinRome.No scholarwhowasworthhis salteverdalliedforlong withthatidea,fortheevidence,literaryandarchaeological,tothecontrarywas overwhelming.

Theideawasinfact broachedbysomeold-fash ionedpropagandists,who believed,mistakenly,that iftheycouldcallinquestionSt.Peter'sresidencein Rome,theprimacyofthe RomanSeewouldbeundermined,andtheposition ofthePope,asheadofthe Church,madeuntenable.

IftheyhadknownCatholictheologybetter,they wouldnothavewastedtheir timeoverthismare'snest andtheymighthavecut lessundignifiedfiguresin controversialhistorythan theynowdo.

Inthesecondplace,I havetotellyouthatthere isnocertainevidencethat St.Peter'sboneshavebeen found.Whathasbeenfound isamemorialshrine,deep downbeneathSt.Peter's, andcoveringasmallempty spaceinanancientcemetery.Theshrinehasbeen identifiedwithpractical certaintyasthe"trophy"of St.Peter,erectedonthe VaticanHill,towhicha RomanpriestGaiusrefers abouttheyear200.

Whatishighlysignificant isthat,asthecemeterywas builtuponhigherlevelsin thesecondcenturyand later,thesmallspaceunder theshrinewasalwayskept free.Notombswereallowedtoencroachonthat centralspot.Inaftertimes ashaftranfromthelater structuresbuiltoverthe cemetery,downtothe shrineandthespotitcovered.

Thisshaftwasacommon featureofChristianaltars. Itleddownfromthealtar totheplacewherethebody ofamartyrwasburied, thusgivingworshipersa senseofcloseconnection withthedeadmartyr,and alsoallowingthemtolower objectstotouchthebody itself.

Itseems,then,thatthe shaftrunningdownfrom lateraltarsheretothe earlyshrineamongthefirst centuryChristiantombs, pointsdirectlytothespot wherethebodyofSt.Peter oncelay.Theonlybones, however,thathavebeenrecoveredfromthisshaftcannotbesaidwithanycertaintytobethoseofSt. Peter.

Itisquiteremarkable,in thefirstplace,thatthere wasthislittleChristian"island"inthemidstofa first-centurypagancemetery.Itismoreremarkable stillthatthis"island"enclosesonecentralspotwhich waskeptfreewithjealous care,coveredwithashrine, andconnectedbyashaft, inlatercenturies,withthe altarsbuiltonhigherlevels.

Tothearchaeologist,these factstellstheirownstory. Thisisthespotreverenced bytheearlyChristiansin connectionwiththebodyof St.Peter,theheadoftheir Church.

Onarchaeologicalevidence,thisrecentlyuncoveredshrinemustbedated asnotlaterthanc.160170.Thereareverystrong reasonsforconcludingthat itwasbuiltoverthespot whereSt.Peter'sbodyonce rested.Theemptyspace overwhichitstandsoccupiesacentralpositionin agroupofveryearly Christiantombs,someofthe secondhalfofthefirstcentury.ThisgroupofChristiantombsformsasmall enclosureinthemidstof apagancemetery.

Whathappenedtothe bodyitselfwedonot know.Perhapsitwasremoved.Perhapsthebones latercrumbledantodust. Butitmaybelookedupon ascertainthatthisisthe spotwhereearlyRoman Churchhonouredthememoryofitsmartyr-founder.

Thisarchaeologicalevidencenowmadeavailable confirms,ofcourse,what wasknownbeforefromreferencestoSt.Peter'smartyrdominRomeinearly Christianliterature,and fromSt.Peter'sownallusiontohispresencein "Babylon"(ie.,Rome)at theendofhisfirstepistle.

A.D.G.,Bunbury,writes: "Ionceheardyousay thatMartinLutherwasa Catholic.Ireadrecently that,afterhisbreakaway fromtheCatholicChuch, hemarriedaformernun. Wouldthisbeavalidmarriageaccordingtotherules oftheCatholicChurch? Whydidhedothis?Iask thisbecauseIhaveseena referenceinanAmerican magazinetoanewfilmon thelifeofthisman."

A.:Thefactsarethese: MartinLutherwasanAugustinianfriarandaCatholicpriest.Duringhismonasticlifehewastormented byscruplesofconscience, bydoubtsabouthissalvation,andotherformsof spiritualmorbidity.Inan endeavourtoreachtheassuranceandemotionalsecuritywhichheneeded,he camemoreandmoreto caricatureCatholicismin termsofhisownmorbidities,andtoconstructanew religioussystemoutofbits andpiecesofSt.Paul,St. Augustine,andtheGerman mystics,interpretedaccordingtothepeculiaritiesof hisownemotionallife.The subterraneanprocessofdisaffectionburstintothelight ofdayin1520-21.Luther becameopenlyheretical, andwasexcommunicated byRome.

Thereafterhebecamethe leaderofareligiousrevolt thatspreadthroughpartof Germany.Underhisinfluence,anumberofmonks andnuns,whodonotseem tohavehadanyrealaptitudeordesireforreligious life,abandonedtheirmonasteriesandconvents,and laughedatthevowsofpoverty,chastity,andobediencetheyhadtakenthere.

OneofthemwasacertainKatherinevonBora. Shefirstbeganaloveaffair withanoblemancalled HieronymusBaumgartner, andthen,whenthisfell through,withtheexiled KingofDenmark.That cametonothingtoo,andshe wasthenaskedinmarriage byacertainDr.Glatz. However,bythistime,she seemstohavebeensetting hercapatLutherhimself, andrefusedGlatzasnot beinguptoherrequirements.

ForatimeLutherseems tohavebeenratherinawe ofher,forshecameof somewhataristocraticstock, whilehewasofpeasant origin.However,withina yearortwo(in1525)he surprisedandshockedhis friendsbymarryinghis "Katey,"ashenowcalled her.Thisactioncaused quiteastirintheLutheran camp.Manyofthesemen stillretainedfromtheirCatholicdaysafeelingforthe sacrednessoftheChristian priesthood,andeventhough theyclaimedtoattachno importancetothereligious vowswhichLuther(and, forthatmatter,Katherine Bora)hadpreviouslytaken,theywere,infact,somewhatdisturbed.

Manyoftheselaterbecameasoreembarrassment toLuther.Thefirstthing someofthesesorryspecimensseemedtothinkof,as soonastheyhadputthe monasticwallsbehindthem, wastogetmarried,andthe menoftenrushedprecipitouslyandludicrouslyinto unionswiththefirstservant girlswhomadeeyesat them.
