WhyEasterIsTheCauseOfOurJoy

ThelongpenitentialseasonofLentgrowstoa close,throughGenthesemaneandGolgotha,tothe gloriousmorningoftheResurrection.Ithasbeen averyrealseasonofgrief,forthememoryof Christ'sreparativelifeandredemptivedeathhave beenheightenedbythewoeofaworldnotatwar, butinuneasyarmistice.Butthetribulationsof ourtimearenotworthytobecomparedwiththe realissuesthatarebeingeternallyfought,onthree fronts,betweentheindividualsoulandtheChurch ofChristagainsttheworld,theflesh,andthedevil.

Indeed,warwouldnotbesofutilehaditbrought totheworldatleastsomeconvictionthatitscauses proceededinthelastanalysisfromthefailureof individualsandnationstoacknowledgethesove- reigntyofChristasKing;andhence,impervious aliketothedemandsofjusticeandcharity,had reducedWesterncivilisation(ofwhichtheCatholic Faithhadbeenthechiefformativeelement)toa conditionofjunglewar.Buttheworldhassofar lostcontactwiththeChristianbeliefthatitcanno longersublimateitssufferings,toservethecauseof Christbywayofexpiation.Onthecontrary,itis onlyembitteredbypainandisthrownintoyet greaterdesolationandperplexityastowhetherlife hasanymeaningorpurpose.

Itistheheightoffatuitytosupposethatthemere combinationorconflictofmaterialforceswillautomaticallyproduceabetterworldorder.Thisisthe grossestlieofmaterialism.Theworldwillnever beanybetterthantheindividualswhoinhabitit, andtheindividual,thoughtosomeextentconditionedbyhismaterialenvironment,isyetsuperior toit.

This,aboveall,isthemessageofEaster-thatthe individualsoulshouldrise,withChristandthrough Christ,fromthedeathofsintothelifeofgrace. Until factofsinisrecognised,anditsconsequencesinthewayofrepentanceandreparation, themoderntalkofprogressandofenlightenmentwillremainhypocriticalcant.Forbysin,asSt. Augustinedeclares,manbecomesmerelyman,and ifhistoryhasanylesson,itisparamountlythatman isnotsufficienteventohimself.Thefactofmarriage aloneindicatesthistruth,butthefactofsinproves ittothehilt.

Theseelections,theysaid (article7),"shalltakeplace inJuly,1956,underthe controlofaninternational commission"composedof representativesfromIndia,CanadaandPoland.

Somedistinctionsmustbe keptinmindhere.

1.Two signedagreementswere inGenevaregarding Vietnam.Onewasthedetailedagreementforamilitaryarmistice.Theother wasthedeclarationby sevengovernmentsonthe armisticeandonpolitical issues.

2.Thegovernmentofthe StateofVietnamsigned neither testedagreements,proagainstboth,

3.Onlythetwoopposing militarycommands,the FrenchandtheVietminh, signedthearmisticeagreement.TheFrenchsigned foralltheforcesundertheir command,whichincluded the VietnameseVietnamesetroops.The authorities, whileprotesting,promised torespectthearmistice terms.

4.Thearmisticeagreementdidnotprescribeelections.Itreferredtothem once,withoutspecifyingany date.Inarticle14aitsaid thatthesidewhosetroops are"regrouped"inazone willhandleciviladministrationthere,"whileawaitingthegeneralelections thatwillbringaboutthe unityofVietnam."

5.The"finaldeclaration" whichdidprescribegeneral electionswassignedby France,GreatBritain, SovietRussia,Communist China,theVietminh"DemocraticRepublic,"Laosand Cambodia.

TheU.S.delegationdid notsign.Itrepeateda statementmadeinWashingtonfavouring"freeelections,controlledbythe UnitedNations,"tore-unite "nationsdividedagainst theirwill."

6.Vietnam'sprotestde-niedtherightoftheFrench HighCommandtofixelectiondatesforVietnam withouttheconsentofthe Vietnamgovernment.

MasonryOnlyAgainst ReligionForCentury?

PARIS,March24NC)-Contraryto whatisgenerallythought,EuropeanFreemasonrywasfoundedbyCatholicsandbecameanti-religiousonlyduringthepastcentury.Thisconclusionisreachedbythe FrenchCatholicauthorMauriceColinonin ,hisnewhistoricalstudy,"L'Egliseenface delafrancmaconnerie"(TheChurchand Freemasonry),publishedherebyArtheme Fayard.

Freemasonrybegan,accordingtoMr.Colinon, whenEnglish,Germanand Italianarchitects,stonecuttersandmastermasons metinStrasbourgCathedralin1275tofounda GrandLodge.

Aslateasthemiddleof the19thcentury,theauthornotes,EuropeanFreemasonrystillrecognisedits Catholicorigins,although ithadlongsincebeencondemnedbytheHolySee.

Itwascondemned,he asserts,mainlybecauseit wasasecretsocietyand becauseofitstendencyto adheretowhatitconsidered thebestdoctrinesofvariousreligions.

Inthe17thcentury,the studypointsout,the MasoniclodgesofScotland werearefugeforthefollowersofthedefeated Stuartkings.FerventroyalistsandCatholics,theScottishMasonswerehunted downbyOliverCromwell andsoughtrefugeinthe FranceofLouisXIV,where theyintroducedMasonry amongtheFrenchnobility.

Becauseofitscontinued disavowalofallreligious values,FrenchFreemasonry wasformallycondemnedby theEnglishMasoniclodges in1938,Mr.Colinonreports.InEnglandasinthe UnitedStates,hepointsout, Masoniclodgesareconsideredsocialclubsandare notespeciallyknownfor hostilitytowardsreligion.
