Freemasonrybecame prominentatthebeginning ofthe18thcenturyandas earlyas1738wefindit condemnedbyPopeClementXIIbecauseofits naturalism,itsinscrutable secrecy,itscomprehensive andterrifyingoathsand ritual.

Sincethattime,membershipofFreemasonryhas beenprohibitedtoCatholicsunderpenaltyofexcommunication.Butitis notclearthatthisprohibitionwasfullyunderstood forsometime.

ThoughMozartwasassociatedwithFreemasonry heseemstohaveremained apractisingCatholic.

DismayedbyLodge

Awriterinthe"EncyclopaediaBrittanica"notes inreferencetoMozart's membershipofMasonry: "Freemasonrydidnot,at thattime,involvethecen sureoftheCatholicChurch, orMozartwouldcertainlyhaverenouncedit".Thisis notabsolutelycorrect.

Theprohibitionwasthere since1738,but,ashasbeen remarked,itsfullimplicationsmaynothaveheel understood.Itisinteresting tonotethatMozart'smembershipofMasonrydidnot ensureforhim,fromthe Brotherhood,afuneralcortegeandanhonouredgrave.

Itseemsevidentthat Mozartwasneveran enthusiasticmember. Perhaps,likesomeofhis compatriots,suchas Goethe,Lessing,Herder,he wasdisappointedanddismayedbywhatheexperiencedintheLodgelife.

Iamglad,too,thatyoudid notjumptotheconclusion thatmoneyhadanythingto dowiththelengthofthe twoceremonies.Sucha conclusionwould,ofcourse, bequitewrong.

"Ihavebeentoldthat RomanCatholicsbelieve thatpriestsintheconfessionalhavethepowerto forgivethesinsofpeople whoarenotreallysorry forthesinstheyhavecommittedandconfessed,and whoreallyintendtogooff anddothesamewrong thingsagain.Isthistrue?"

And,ofcourse,heisin goodfaithalmostalways. SinceheknowstheteachingoftheChurchonthis point,herealisesthatit wouldbefutiletocome withoutthesetwonecessarydispositions.

However,sorrowforsin doesnotmeanthatwemust feelsorry.Thesorrow whichisrequiredmustbe inthewill,notnecessarily inthefeelings.Afterall itwasthewill,notthefeelings,whichsinned,and thereforeitisthewillwhich mustrepairtheinsult.

AnimalsHaveNoMentalSorrow WhichMakesUpMostHumanPain

Yoursoulisnotmaterial; yourdog'sismaterial.Your soulisendowedwithtwo wonderfulpowers,thoseof reason(orintellect)and freewill;yourdogcannot reason,anddoesnotpossess freewill.Yoursoul,being non-material,hasnoparts intowhichitcandisintegrateordie;itisimmortal, willliveforever.Your dog'ssoul,beingmaterial, willendwithdeath..

"B.D.,"Bayswater,writes: "Thismorningtwopeople cametothedoorandtried toconvertmetotheirsect. Theyassuredmethatthe NewTestamentcontainsno mentionorreferencetothe btunortalitYofthesoul.

"Further,theysaidthat fortwocenturiesafterthe deathofOurLordChristiansdidn'tbelieveinthe immortalityofthesoul,and thattheideawasintroducedintoChristianityby GreekconvertsandgraduallyadoptedintotheteachingoftheChurch.How trueisthis?"

R.:Thereisnotawordof truthinit.Isuspectyour visitorswereWitnessesof Jehovah,whohaveanastoundingaddictiontopickingoutafewtextsof.Scripturefromtheircontext, twistingthemtosuittheir amazingdoctrine,and blandlyignoringdozensof othertextswhichteach quitethecontrary.

Thesearequotations,not themosttellingones,but deliberatelychosenatrandomfromeachofthefour evangelists.St.Paul,of course,isconstantlyreturningtothisdoctrine.You willrememberthepassage IdealtwithlastSunday,1 Cor.,xv.,whereSt.Paul preachesimmortality-to somenewly converted Greeksbytheway-who heldthatonlythoseChristianswhoarealiveat Christ'ssecondcomingwill receiveimmortality:those whodiebeforethat,they held,perishaltogether.To themPaulreplies:'Thedead shallriseagainincorruptible,andweshallallbe changed."CompareII.
