OnWhatKindOfCrossChrist

WasCrucified

"Artist",Maylands,writes:"Inartistic representationsofthedeathofChrist manytypesofcrossesaredepicted.Dowe knowdefinitelythekindofcrossthatwas used?Alsowerebothfeetfastenedwithone nail?"

R.:Itistruethatmany typesofcrosseswereused inancienttimes.Theearliestwasindeednotacross atallinoursenseofthe wordbutasimplestake withnocrossbeam.Tothis theculpritwasbound, theretodieofexhaustion ortobedevouredbywild beasts.Occasionallyhewas impaledonthesestakes.Of thecomplextypeofcross, i.e.onecomposedoftwo crossbeams,therewerefour maintypes.

Onewasintheformofa capitalX,anotherinthe formofacapitalT:inthe thirdandfourthtypes, theGreekandLatincrosses, thecrossbeamscuteach otheratrightangles,but withonedifference.Inthe Greekcrossthefourarmsof thecrossbeamsareofequal lengthfromthecentre ratherlikeour"plus"sign, whereasintheLatin crosstheupperportionof theverticaluprightisshorterthanthelowerportionratherlikeasword.

ThecrossonwhichChrist OurLorddiedcertainlyhad theshapeofaLatincross. Ishallnotenterintoanexhaustiveproofhere,but shalljusttouchontwoindications.First,thefact thatthewrittentitle"Jesus .ofNazarethKingofthe Jews"wasplacedabove Christ'shead,andhenceat thetopofthevertical upright,showsthatitwasa Latincross.

Again,severalofthevery earliestChristianwriters clearlytestifyinfavourof theLatincrosswhenthey saythatthebodynailedto thecrossresemblesabird

inflightoramanswimming.

Furthermore,thereisalmostnoevidencetoshow thatthefeetofJesusrested onawoodensupport,which artistsfrequentlydepict.On thecontrary,however,somethingwhichartistsusuallyomitwasalmostcertainlythere;apegorpieceof woodfixedinthemiddleof theuprightandonwhich thesuffererwasseated.

Thissupportwasnecessarytopreventthebody fromfalling,forthenailed handswouldbeunableto sustaintheweightforlong, withoutbeingindangerof tearing.

Thepresenceofthiscentralsupportisattestedby witnesseswhowroteata timewhenthepunishment ofcrucifixionwasstillvery common:St.Justin,St. Irenaeus,andTertullian.

Finally,notthreebut fournailswereused.Again thisistestifiedbyalmost alltheveryearlywriters.It seemsalsotobeconfirmed bymedicalevidence,though Icannotspeakwithanyassuranceonthispoint.

AFrenchcommentator, RohaultdeFleury,writing onthismatter,saysthathe consulteddoctorswhoassuredhimthatitwasimpossibletofixbothfeetofa livingmanwithonenail withoutbreakingsomebone. Andweknowfromthe SacredScripturesthatno bonewasbroken.Whatever maybesaidfromthemedicalviewpointwehavethe testimonyoftheveryearliestwritersthateachfoot wasfixedwithadifferent nail.

TwoQueriesOver TheLord'sPrayer

Twolistenershavesent queriesontheLord's Prayeror"OurFather.'" Ishallgroupthemtogetherforconvenience. Weshalldealfirstwith "Sceptic",Nedlands, who writes:"Iamdoubtful if theLord'sPrayerwas reallycomposed by Jesus Christfor,first,very closesimilaritiestoit havebeenfoundinthe Talmudand,anyway,if ChristwereGodhow couldheaskGodtoforgiveHimHissins".

Talmud'Borrowed' R.:Somepeoplehave triedhardtofindclosesimilaritiesbetweentheTalmudandtheLord'sPrayer, buttheireffortshavebeen apurewasteoftime.Of courseifyoutakeanexpressionoutofitscontext, youwillfindvaguesimilaritiesinmanyotherplaces. Butmostofso-calledsimilaritiesyourefertoareborrowedwordforwordfrom theOldTestament.

Idonotintendtodiscuss thequestionatanylength here,forIamquitesure thatitwouldnotinterest thegeneralreader.Ifyou areastudent,asIsuspect fromyourletter,Ireferyou totwoscholarlyworkson thequestion:DALMAN, "DasVaterunser,"(pp.285365);orBILLERBECK, "Kommentarzumneuen TestamentausTalmudand Midrasch",(Vol.1,pp.406425).

NotHisPrayer

Yourseconddifficulty causedmeverygreatsurprise.Really,itistoonaive forwords.Ofcourse,Our LorddidnotaskHisFather toforgiveHimHissins.Just lookatthecontextandthe difficultyvanishes.

OnedaywhenJesushad finishedpraying,oneofthe disciplessaidtoHim: "Masterteachustoprayas Johntaughthisdisciples." ChristOurLordanswered "whenyoupray,praythus." Isitnotasclearascrystal thattheprayerHetaught themwasmeantforthem, notforHimself.Really, tuttut!

Thesecondlistenerwho writesontheLord'sPrayerasks:"Doesthe phrase"Giveusthis day ourdailybread"referto

WhyDidOurLord CurseFigTree?

ordinaryfoodortothe Eucharist?"

R.:St.Augustine,indiscussingthisquestion,gives youachoiceofthreeexplanations:thewordofGod, and materialbread.Acasecan bemadeforallthree.

Takefirstthewordof God;itisofcoursenourishmentofthesoul.OurLord said"Mymeat(ormynourishment)istodothewill ofHimthatsentme."But itishardtobelievethatthe disciples,withoutfurther indication,wouldhave thoughtofthisheavenly nourishment.

TheideaoftheEucharist was,perhaps,lessremote fromtheirthoughts.Some monthsearlierChristhad proclaimedHimselfthe BreadofLife,andhadpromisedtogiveHisfollowers Hisbodyandbloodasfood anddrink.Nevertheless,beforetheactualinstitutionof theBlessedSacramentand beforetheChristianshad beenaccustomedtoreceive Itdaily,theEucharistcould scarcelyberecognizedunderthefigureofdailybread.

Mormons'WeirdBeliefsAbout Christ,Marriage&TheChurch

Whatofman?Apparentlyitwassinful for"Adam"togeneratechildren,foraccordingtotheMormonCatechism"hehadtosin byeatingtheforbiddenfruit,otherwisehe wouldnothaveknowngoodandevilnor couldhehavemortalposterity."

However,humanbeings whohavebeengenerated,if theyaregoodMormons,will eventuallybecome"Gods, creatingandgoverning worldsandpeoplingthem withtheirownoffspring." (Manual,PartI,p.52).

TheMormonheavenis evidentlyverydifferent fromtheoneinwhich,accordingtoChrist,"theyshall neithermarrynorbemarried."(Matt.XXII,30).

Meantime,accordingto Mormonteaching,Godis continuallycreatingsouls whicharelongingfor humanbodies.Andthoseon earthwhoprovidethegreatestnumberofbodiesfor theseanxiousspiritswillbe themostgloriousineternity.Polygamyisobviously indicated!

Mormonssaythat,providedtheyobeytheprecepts oftheirreligion,theirsalvationismadepossible throughtheAtonement wroughtbyChrist.Butwho isChrist?JosephSmith's ArticlesdeclareHimtobe the"SonofGod."ButMormonwriterstellusthat,in theincarnation,"Hewas notbegottenoftheHoly Ghost."Theyarguethat conceptionisimpossible withoutphysicalmaritalintercourse.

Addressingchaplainsandmembersof theLegionofMaryintheCathedralatthe 'closeoftheirrecentcongress,HisGracethe ArchbishopexpressedthewishtoseeestablishedapraesidiumoftheLegioninevery parishwhereitwaspossibleandpracticable todoso.

SpeakingtotheLegionariesHisGracetheArchbishopwelcomedthemto theMotherChurchofthe Archdiocese,dedicatedto MarytheMotherofGod.

Theyhadcome,hesaid, inrepresentativenumbers todohonourtoOurLady andtobeg,throughher,the blessingofherDivineSon onthedeliberationsofthe Congressjustconcluded.He hopedtheCongresswould giveaddedimpetustothe activitiesoftheLegionof Maryandthatitwouldbe fruitfulofmuchgoodin furtheringtheinterestsof thatveryworthyapostolate.

HisGracethankedthe spiritualdirectorsfortheir keeninterestintheLegion andexpressedthewishthat apraesidiumwouldbe establishedineveryparish whereitwasatallpossible andpracticabletodoso.

Hethankedtheofficeholders,allthemembers, bothmenandwomen,who devotedthemselvessozealously,actively,conscientiouslyandself-sacrificingly totheapostolatebyword andbydeed,andaboveall byexample.

ThegoodworktheLegion haddoneintheArchdiocese inthecomparativelyshort timeofitsexistence,he hadgoodreasontoknow andwasproudpubliclyto acknowledge. Theirwork,continued HisGrace,couldtrulybe saidtobeasummaryofthe spiritualworksofmercytoadmonishsinners,toinstructtheignorant,tocounsel thedoubtfulandtocomfort thesorrowful.

FortheirPresidentMormonsclaimaninfallibility farinexcessofthatever claimedbyanyPopeinthe CatholicChurch.Writingin the"EncyclopaediaBritannica"on"Mormonism"Reed Smoot,ex-Senatorfor Utah,says:

"Thereisbutonemanon earthatatime whomay receiverevelationforthe guidanceoftheChurch,and heisthePresidentofthe Church,God'sProphet,Seer andRevelatorandmouthpiece.Hisofficialword, whenspeakinginthename oftheLord,theChurchis toreceiveasfromGod's ownmouth."

Comparedwiththishow muchmoremoderateisthe CatholicclaimthatthePope hastorely,notonanydivinerevelation,norevenon divineinspiration,butonly onthedivineassistanceto safeguardhimfromerror.

BaptismofDead

HideousBlasphemy

WasJoseph,then,the fatherofJesus?No.For thenChristwouldnotbe theSonofGod.Sotheysay thatGodtheFathercame toearthinhumanform,took MaryasHislawfulwife, andoftheirmaritalrelationsinthefleshChristwas born!

Suchindeedwastheir recordofzealintheservice ofMaryandsouls.The secretoftheirsuccess,of course,wasdevotiontothe MotherofGod;astheirsuccesswasmorethanordinary,so,too,wastheirdevotion.

TheArchbishopencouragedthemtoevengreaterdevotion.Themoredevoted theyweretotheMotherof God,saidHisGrace,the moreinfluencetheywould haveonthosewithwhom theycameincontactintheir apostolicwork.

"Marchforward,"hesaid, "asLegionariesunderthe leadershipofyourMother Mary.Marchforwardwith invincibleoptimism.Your causecannotfail,forMary iswithyouandyourwork inconductedinher, throughherandwithher."

HisGraceurgedthemto befaithfultotheirconstitution.Hishopeswerenot onlyfortheLegionbut aboveallforanenthusiastic andmilitantLegion.Heexpressedthewishthatthe numberofpraesidiawould increase,thatmembership oftheLegionwouldincrease andthattheirenthusiasm inthecauseofOurLady wouldneverwane.

"Mayyourworkinthe futurebeassuccessfulasit hasbeeninthepast,"concludedHisGrace."Maythe livesofeachandeveryone ofyoubeacontinualround ofapostolicachievementin Mary'sservice.Andwhen theshadowsfall,mayyou befoundworthytobe numberedintheglorious armyoftheLegionin heaven."

Worsestill,OrsonHyde, inhis"Journal,"saysthat ChristHimselfpractised polygamy,marrying"the MarysandMartha,sothat HecouldseeHisChildren beforeHewascrucified!" Toanyonewiththeslightest understandingofitsuch teachingsarebutablasphemoustravestyofChristian doctrine.

TheMormondoctrineof theChurchisequallyastonishing.Wearetoldthat ChristfoundedHisChurch inPalestine,choosingtwelve apostlesthere,butthat Churchfailed.Apparently anticipatingthefailure, ChristwenttoAmerica afterHisresurrectionand choseanothertwelveapostlesfromamongsttheNephites,settingupHisChurch onAmericansoil.Butthat Churchfailed.

Theonlythingtodowas towaitforJosephSmith'sarrivalonthesceneinthelatterdays,andgethimtoset upanotherChurchforHim.

1831thathefirstbeganto speakofadditionalunions ascelestialmarriages,and quotedtheexampleofthe patriarchsofoldinjustificationofthem.Whenhis wifeEmmaobjectedtohis bringingotherwomenhome tosharehimwithher,Josephpromptlyhadarevelationtocalmherscruples.

In"DoctrineandCovenants,"(n.52.sect.132),he makesGodsay,"Andlet Minehandmaid,Emma Smith,receiveallthosethat havebeengivenuntoMy servantJoseph,andwhoare virtuousandpurebefore Me."

Wehavealreadynoticed theMormondoctrineof createdsoulsanxiously awaitinghumanbodies throughwhichalonethey canattaineternalblissas gods.Themorewivesmen have,therefore,andthe moretheirchildrenthe greaterwillbetheirglory. Infact,pluralmarriagesare necessaryforone'sownsalvation!

ThatMormonsbelieve, theoreticallyatleast,that polygamyisnecessaryfor salvationisnotanexaggeration.WhentheGovernmentoftheUnitedStated begantotakestepstoprohibitpolygamy,theFirst PresidentoftheMormon Churchissuedaproclamationin1885saying:-

Such,then,istheChurch whichMormonsholdtobe thesoleChurchoftheLivingGod,allothersbeing accursedabominations.

AsregardsSacraments, Mormonsfollowtheusual Protestanttraditionoftwo, BaptismandtheLord's Supper.FromtheBaptists theyborrowedthedoctrine thatBaptismmustbeby immersion(forwhichthere isnowarrantinScripture) andteachthattheriteis absolutelynecessaryforsalvation.

Sincetheyalsoteachthat allBaptismsadministered fromthedeathofthelast oftheApostlesuntiltheadventoftheirownChurch werenullandvoid,they feltthattheyhadtofind somemeansofavoiding suchawholesaledamnation ofallpreviousgenerations ofChristians.Sotheyhave introducedproxy-baptisms forthedead.Charitable Mormonsmaytakethe namesofdeadpeopleon theiilipsandbebaptized ontheirbehalf!

IfallMormons,taking thisseriously,wereutterly unselfishpeopleandspent theirwholelivesfrominfancytoextremeoldage doingnothingbutreceive proxy-baptismforthedead, theywouldscarcelymake anappreciableimpression onthevastnumbersofpreviousChristianswhohave livedanddiedduringthe pasttwothousandyears!

SothelastoftheNephite prophets,Mormon,leftfull instructionsforthebenefit ofthesaidJosephSmith.

RestoringPrimitive

In1830,actingunderthe divinecommands,Joseph Smithreconstructedthe ChristianChurch,givingit thesameorganization-so heclaimed-asthatpossessedbytheprimitiveChurch. AndtheChurchheestablished,theMormon Church,istheonlytrue Churchintheworldtoday!

JesuitStatesmenOutlinesHow IndiaRegardsMissionaries

Foraboutoyearnowtherehavebeenconflictingreportsaboutthepositionof CatholicmissionariesinIndia.StatementsbyChristianleadershavefocussedtheoftentionofCatholicsallovertheworldonwhatlookslikearealcrisisfortheChurckin India.ThereisnowundoubtedlyanimpressionthatIndiaisgoingthewayofsome otherAsiancountriesinbarringtheentryofallforeignmissionaries.Whatarethe facts,andwhatistheextentofthecrisis?

ByFatherJeromeD'Souza,

Itisnecessarytorecall thatevenunderBritish ruletherewasnounrestrictedfreedomformissionaryactivityinIndia. TherewerecertainsemiindependentstatesgovernedbyIndianprinces wheremissionarieswere notpermittedtoreside andcarryonconversion work.

Therewereotherareas whereonlyCatholicor Protestant missionaries wereallowedbutnot bothatthesametime. Moreover,themissionaries hadtopromisenottotake partinpolitics.

Duringthedaysofthe Indianstruggleforindependencesomewereexpelledfromthecountry onthegroundofantigovernmentactivity.Finally,duringthewar, missionariesbelongingt "enemycountries"were internedandsomesent backtotheirhomes.

LiberalPolicy

Notwithstandingthese restrictions,thepolicyof theBritishgovernment wasaliberaloneinregardtomissionarywork. ThegovernmentofindependentIndiahasdeclared thatit,too,wantstofollowthesamepolicyof toleranceandfullfreedomforallreligions.This hasbeenguaranteedboth asapartofcivicrights andasasafeguardtothe minoritycommunities.

Amongthereligious rightsguaranteedinthe Constitutionistheright freelytoprofess,practise, andpropagatereligion. Thisrightisgiventoall personsinIndianterritory,includingforeigners livinginIndia.Butitdoes notnecessarilyimplythe rightofaforeignerand

SJ offoreignagenciesto enterIndiainorderto propagatereligion.

However,untilrecently missionariesofalldenominationswereallowed toenterfreely,andtheir actualnumberinIndiais greaterthanitwasbefore independence.

Theattitudeofthegovernmentnowisthatas farasforeignmissionaries areconcernedtheycome

partinpoliticsandacted againsttheinterestsof India.Thishasbeenstated inparticularagainstthe missionariesworking amongtheNagasand othertribalpeoplewho havebeenclaimingeither independenceoranautonomousregimewithinthe IndianUnion.

NationalistPlaints

Secondly,thereisan impressionamongHindu leadersthattheinfluence ofmissionaries,ifnotpositivelyanti-national,is notfavourabletoIndian culture.Lastly,therehave beepfrequentaccusations byHinduleadersthat Christianmissionaries havebeenusingunfair meansof"proselytization," holdingoutthebaitof materialadvantageslike freeeducationandmedicalservice,andfinancial assistancetomakemass conversions.

Christianswhoaskfor helpfromtheirforeign brothersandatwhoseinvitationacertainnumber ofmissionariesapplyfor visas.

Further,casesofmisbehaviourshouldbe dealtwithonthefactsof eachcaseandtheChristianorganizationsthemselvesarereadytotake actionwhenevernecessary.Appointmentsof "inquirycommissions"are harmfulandoffensive.

JesuitStatesmenOutlinesHow IndiaRegardsMissionaries

Foraboutayearnowtherehavebeenconflictingreportsaboutthepositionof CatholicmissionariesinIndio.StatementsbyChristianleadershavefocussedtheattentionofCatholicsallovertheworldonwhatlookslikearealcrisisfortheChurc6in India.ThereisnowundoubtedlyanimpressionthatIndiaisgoingthewayofsome otherAsiancountriesinbarringtheentryofallforeignmissionaries.Whatarethe facts,andwhatistheextentofthecrisis?

ByFatherJeromeD'Souza,S.J.

Itisnecessarytorecall thatevenunderBritish ruletherewasnounrestrictedfreedomformissionaryactivityinIndia. TherewerecertainsemiindependentstatesgovernedbyIndianprinces wheremissionarieswere notpermittedtoreside andcarryonconversion work.

Therewereotherareas whereonlyCatholicor Protestant missionaries wereallowedbutnot bothatthesametime. Moreover,themissionaries hadtopromisenottotake partinpolitics.

Duringthedaysofthe Indianstruggleforindependencesomewereexpelledfromthecountry onthegroundofantigovernmentactivity.Finally,duringthewar, missionariesbelongingt "enemycountries"were internedandsomesent backtotheirhomes.

LiberalPolicy

Notwithstandingthese restrictions,thepolicyof theBritishgovernment wasaliberaloneinregardtomissionarywork. ThegovernmentofindependentIndiahasdeclared thatit,too,wantstofollowthesamepolicyof toleranceandfullfreedomforallreligions.This hasbeenguaranteedboth asapartofcivicrights andasasafeguardtothe minoritycommunities.

Amongthereligious rightsguaranteedinthe Constitutionistheright freelytoprofess,practise, andpropagatereligion. Thisrightisgiventoall personsinIndianterritory,includingforeigners livinginIndia.Butitdoes notnecessarilyimplythe rightofaforeignerand

offoreignagenciesto enterIndiainorderto propagatereligion.

However,untilrecently missionariesofalldenominationswereallowed toenterfreely,andtheir actualnumberinIndiais greaterthanitwasbefore independence.

Theattitudeofthegovernmentnowisthatas farasforeignmissionaries areconcernedtheycome

partinpoliticsandacted againsttheinterestsof India.Thishasbeenstated inparticularagainstthe missionariesworking amongtheNagasand othertribalpeoplewho havebeenclaimingeither independenceoranautonomousregimewithinthe IndianUnion.

Secondly,thereisan impressionamongHindu leadersthattheinfluence ofmissionaries,ifnotpositivelyanti-national,is notfavourabletoIndian culture.Lastly,therehave beepfrequentaccusations byHinduleadersthat Christianmissionaries havebeenusingunfair meansof"proselytization," holdingoutthebaitof materialadvantageslike freeeducationandmedicalservice,andfinancial assistancetomakemass conversions.

Thenetresulthasbeen first,refusalbygovern-
