HowCalvinApostatizedFrom Rome&FoundedPresbyterians

Thisshortarticleisanefforttogive withinnecessarylimitationsasconiprehesiveasurveyaspossibleofthePresbyterianChurches,asthoseChurcheshavebeen calledinAnglo-SaxoncountrieswhichfollowedtheleadgivenbytheProtestantreformer,JohnCalvin.

HisownnewChurchCalvinhimselfcalledsimply, "TheReformedChurch"; andasitspreadontheEuropeanContinent,ittookthe nameofeachcountryin whichitwasestablished. Thusarose"TheReformed ChurchofHolland,"or'of France,"or"ofGermany." Butallthesechurchesare basedmoreorlessonPresbyterianprinciples.

Initself,theword"Presbyterian"sayslittleofdoctrineorworship.Itrefers chieflytotheformof Church-governmentadopted,whichisvestedin"presbyters,"i.e.,in"Seniors"or "Elders,"asdistinctfrom episcopalandcongregationalisttypesofProtestantism.

Aweddingofconsiderableinterestwas solemnised,withNuptialMass,inSt.Mary's Cathedral,onJan.9,bytheAuxiliaryBishop,theMostRev.L.J.Goody,assistedby theRev.J.McNamaraandtheRev.M.Keon.

tury,and.intheearlier yearsofthisone,andI couldgoontopraiseothers oftheirachievements.But Idon'tthinkthisisreally thekindofthingyou_have inmind.

DecadentSigns youwrite: "LookingthroughaselectionofSovietdressstyles forwomeninajournal,I observedthatMODESTY seemedtobethefirstconsideration.IalsosawapictureofsomeWesternand Russiandiplomatswiththeir wivesataneveningfunction.ThedressoftheRussianwomenwasmodest anddecorousincontrastto thesemi-nudityofthedemocraticladies."

A.:Ithinkitwouldbe truertosaythattheSoviet regimediscourageswomen fromattachingmuchimportancetoelegancein dress.Thecultoffashion andtheparadesofnew stylesinthegreatestablishmentsofLondonand Parisarelookeduponby theSovietmentorsofpresent-dayRussiaasbeing symptomsofbourgeoisdecadence-althoughthereis someevidencethatacertainmildemulationisbeing allowedtomanifestitself discreetlyhereandthere.

ButtheplainnessandsimplicityofthedressesfamouredforwomeninCommunistRussiaisnotanexpressionofanyhighermorality;itsimplymeansthat, onthewhole,thosewho maintaintheregimehave decidedthatitisbetterto directtheenergiesofthe womenintochannelsof greatereconomicsignificance.ThePartywasnot muchinterestedinseeing RussianwomenrivalthesocietylightsoftheWestern world;itwasverymuchinterestedinseeingthatthey filledtheirquotasofwork inthefactoriesandonthe collectivefarms.

Therewasnorealplace intheirsystemforelegance ofdressassomethingof valueinitself;whatthe Frenchcall'lahautecouture"(dressmakingasa fineart)wasjustsomething thatwoulddistractwomen fromtheirwork.Ifthere arenowSovietfashion journals,youcanbesure thattheyaremainlyforexport:travellerstoRussia cantellyouhowthewomen dressthere-anditisnotso muchthemodestyasthe dowdinessthatseemstoimpressthem.

LicenceatStart

WithregardtotheSoviet attitudetowardsquestions ofmodesty,chastity,etc., thetruthofthematter,as Iseeit,isthis:Atthebeginningoftheregimethere waspracticallyunbridled licence.Marriage,aswe understanditintheWest, Theirhighstandardofqualitynevervaries

SHAKESPEARE:His=expurgatedtextsarenotput intothehandsofchildren oftenderage. waslookeduponasabourgeois(i.e.,capitalist)institution,andthepeoplewere encouragedtoemancipate themselvesfromit.There wasaperiodofappalling immorality,ofwhichyou canseeplentyofevidenceandverydisgustingevidence,too-intravellers'accountsofthe1920's.

However,thepolicywas laterswitched.Marriage andmaritalfidelitywerereinstatedinaplaceofhonour-notthroughanyconcessiontoChristianmorality,butsimplyintheinterestofgreaterefficiencyand socialstability.Idon't thinkthattheSovietrulers attachanyabsolutevalueto sexualmoralityatall;they simplyfindthat,onthe whole,itworksbetterifthe emphasisonsexinpublic lifeiswithdrawn.Andas, ofcourse,thereismuch abuseinthismatterinthe Westerncountries,thecontrastgivesthepropagandistsoftheSovietregimean opportunityofposingas sternandrighteousmoralists.

However,wehaveseen plentyofinstancesinthe fairlyrecentpastwhich makeitquiteclearthatthey areprepared,atanymoment,toholdouttheprospectofcompletesexual licenceasanincitementto revolution:thiswasnotably thecaseinthepolicyadoptedinSpainintheperiod immediatelyprecedinsthe CivilWarof1936andduringthewaritself.

WhatHydeSaw

IstheBibletoBeReckoned NithIndecentLiterature?

"Curious,"Subladoo,writes:historicalbooksoftheOld Testamentadopted.

"Reindecentliterature, surelycertainportionsof theBibleshouldcomeunder thatheading.Ihaveseen girlsandboysofschoolage sniggeringoverthemore luridpassages.Thiswas ataStateschool,wherethe olderpupilsusedtobring BiblestostudyandmemorisecertainPsalms.Why thelushness,thefondness forfleshlyincidentsandobservations,inabookoondderedsacred?QuitePossiblytheScriptureshave beentheoccasionofsinto manyreaders,especiallythe untrained,immature,and inquisitivetype.Theycould domoreharmthanthecorniestcomics."

A.:Iamsurprised,and,to tellyouthetruth,alittle shocked,attheattitudeyou havechosentotaketowards thenarrativeportionsofthe OldTestament.Fromyour signature,Iseethatyouare amarriedwoman;andfrom this,surely,Ihavetheright todeducethatbynowyou shouldhaveattainedacertainedmaturityofoutlook aswellasyears.

UnprurientTales

Icanonlyexplainyour attitudetomyselfbymakingtwosuppositions.In thefirstplace,Ithinkit quitelikelythatyouarenot altogethersincerelyexpressingyourownreactionstowardsthepassages,say,in theBookofGenesis,which youhaveinmind.Youare thinking,rather,ofwhat childrenintheirearlyteens maymakeofsuchpassages; sothatwhatyousayabout thiselementintheScripturesdoesnotexpressyour realopinionasanadultpersonsomuchasyoursolicitudeforthedelicacyand

ReverentTone

Asamatteroffact,I thinkthatanybodywithany literarysensewouldfindthe narrativesoftheOldTestamentverybeautifulindeed -notexceptingthosepassageswhichyouhavein mind(oncetheseareseen intheperspectiveofthe wholestory).

If,insteadofallowing yourselftobeshockedby thekindofforthrightness andsimplicitywhichisnot considered"nice"nowadays,ytAsallowedyourself tosinkintothesenarratives,experiencingsomethingofthereverenceand beautyoftheirtone,andenteringintotheprofound backgroundofreligious feelingagainstwhichthey arewritten,Iamsureyou wouldthinktwicebefore applyingtothemsuchtotallyunsuitableepithetsas "lush,"orfindinginthem any"fondnessforfleshly incidents."Icannotthink ofanyliteraturewhichisso removedfromthecoarse sniggering,prurientexcitability,ormorbidcuriosity, whicharetherealmarksof thepornographic.

NotfortheYoung However,onceyouraise thequestionofthesuitabilityofcertainportionsofthe OldTestamentforyoung readers,thematterisonan entirelydifferentfooting. Everyoneknowsthatthe normal,healthy,assimilation offacts,andtheachievementofsanityandasense ofproportion,inwhathas todowiththeself-propagationofthehumanrace,are thingsthatmustcomeslowly,withwideni,ngexperi- impressionabilityoftheenceandgrowthinknowyoungpeopleinwhomyouledge,aswellasinage,and areinterested. thattheprocesscanbe greatlyhelpedbytheproperguidanceofthechild's parentsandbytheattitude ofsocietyatlarge.

And,ifreadingtheOld Testamentshocksyou,I dreadtothinkwhatmight happenifyoulookedinto thehabitsoflifeofthe membersofthepresent CommunistpartiesinFrance andGreatBritain.You mightmakeastart,ifyou arepreparedtofaceit,on someoftheobservations thattheex-Communist newseditoroftheLondon "DailyWorker,"Douglas Hyde,makesinhisautobiography,"IBelieved."That willridyou,Ithink,of thenotionthatCommunism hasevolvedasuperiormorality,aspartofitsprogramme.

MatterofExpediency

Inpointoffact,youwill findthatthosewhodirect thespreadofCommunism, fromRussia,takeupanattitudeofpureexpediency inthesematters.Theyfind thattheirownpeopleat homeworkbetterifthey don'tindulgeagreatdealin sexualirregularities;andat thesametimetheyfindthat so-called"emancipation" andlicenceareusefulmeans fortheformingofakind ofCommunistunderground intheWesterncountries.

Byallmeans,then,admiremodestyandgood tastewhereveryouseeit, butdon'tbanktooheavily onthatasasignofmoral soundnessassociatedwith theCommunistwayoflife.

Thesecondsuppositionis this:youreadtheScriptureswithoutanysenseof historicalperspective,and havemadenoallowancefor theprimitive,and,insome cases,ratheruncouthfeatures,intheancienttribal traditionsoftheJews.Your sensibilityisprobablyfurtherexacerbatedbythe plain,un-mealy-mouthed styleandvocabularywhich thehumanwritersofthe
