TheArchbishop'splea forthe"spiritofsupernaturalcharity"inthe applicationofthecanon lawtoparticularcases cameinthemidstof highlytechnicaldiscussionswhichmarkedmost oftheconvention'ssessions.

ThepurposeofCanon Lawishigherthanthe merepreservationoforderanddiscipline,he said."Itsultimateaim istostrengthenthelove ofGodandtowidenthe areainwhichthepeace ofChristwillreign."

IndulgencesInvolveNoIssue OfPermissionToCommitSin

Next,agentleman-Ithinkitisaman fromthewriting-whochoosesaspen-name thetorridtitle,"Timbuctoo,"Perth,asks whatisthemeaningof"sevenyearsand sevenquarantines,"atermsometimesfound inprayer-booksaftercertainprayers.

R.:Asyouhaveprobably surmised,theword"quarantine"inthiscontexthas nothingtodowiththeisolationimposedonshipswhen theyarriveatFremantle withpeoplesufferingfrom infectiousdiseases.Inboth cases,however,quarantine comesfromtheLatinword for"forty."

Inyourprayerbookthe termmeansthattheChurch hasattachedtothesaying ofthisprayer,undercertainconditions,anIndulgenceofsevenyearsand seventimesfortydays.

Icanimaginesomelistenersmilingsuperiorlyand thinkingtohimself:"There youare,theR.C.Churchis justasbadasIhavesuspected.ThisIndulgence businessmeansthattheold boywhosaysthisprayeris givenafreehandtosinfor sevenyearsandsevenquarantines!"

Wrongagain,Cuthbert; youareverywideofthe mark.NeithertheCatholicChurch,norevenGod Himself,couldgiveany manpermissiontocommit evenonesin.Indulgences onnoaccountgiveaperson leavetocommitsin.Anotherwidespreadmisconceptionamongnon-CatholicsisthatanIndulgence meanspardonforpastsins: gainanIndulgenceandyour sinsareforgiven!Again, thisisgrosslyuntrue.

Sincanbeforgiven,only throughrepentanceandthe SacramentofPenance.Unlesstheguiltofsinhas firstbeenforgiventherecan benoquestionofgainingan Indulgence.

Whatthen,isanIndulgence?Whenasinnerrepentsandconfessesagrave sin,hereceivespardonfor theguiltofthatsin,pardon alsofortheeternalpunishmentwhichthatsinentailed.Butthoughtheeternal punishmenthasbeenremitted,theremaystillremain whatis"temporalpunishment?!viz.,somepenalties tobepaid,eitherinthislife

orinPurgatory,inorderto atonefortheself-indulgence whichsininvolves.

Now,thesepenaltieswe canpaybyprayer,byearnestlyreceivingtheSacraments,byvariousgood worksandbyself-denial. Butinmakingamendsto Godforpastsinswhichhave beensubstantiallyforgiven wearenotalone.Arewe not,asSt.Paulsays,one withChristandHisSaints; asinalivingbody,each partofwhichwheninneed candrawstrengthandnourishmentfromotherparts ormemberswhichhave somethinginreserve.So we,thesicklymembersof Christ'sMysticalBody,can drawontheinexhaustible reservoirofgoodthings donebytheinfiniteChrist whenHelivedanddiedfor us.

Andthedispenserofthis treasureis,ofcourse,the ChurchwhichChristsetup tocontinueHisworkof lookingafterthespiritual welfareofHischildren,and towhichHegaveallthe authoritynecessaryforthis purpose.ThisIdonothave toprove;itisindeedevident.

sufficientatonementforsin, theChurchbecamemore liberalinaddingtothepersonaleffortsofthesinner bydrawingmoreandmore fromthetreasurythatwas inherkeeping,i.e.,theinexhaustibleover-abundant meritsofChristandthe saints.Thusthesystemof Indulgencescameintobeing.

Tosumup:anIndulgence isaremission,throughthe poweroftheChurch,of someorallofthetemporal punishmentwhichmaystill bedueforsinafterthesin itselfhasbeenforgiven.The sevenyearsandsevenquarantines,towhichyourefer, meanthatfordoingcertain goodworksorsayingcertainprayerstheChurch grantsaremissionoftemporalpunishmentroughly equivalenttothatlengthof publicpenanceintheearly daysofChristianity.

Isayroughlyequivalent; wecannotsaypreciselyhow muchofthedebtforsin suchpartialindulgenceswill pay.Buttheexpressionof timeattachedtovariousindulgencestellsustheirrelativevalue.Thusanindulgenceof300daysismore valuableinitselfthanone of100days.Butonthe fervourwithwhichwe carryouttheprescribed goodworkswilldepend whetherthatindulgenceis forusasvaluableaswould havebeenoneorthreehundreddaysoftheearlier penance.
