FollowinguponMr.F.E.Chamberlain'stendentiousrebuttalofthemajorpointsoftheBishops' PastoralonthemenaceofCommunism,theBishop ofGeraldtonaskedthatgentlemanaverydirect question:Whatwouldreplaceindustrialgroupsto combattheCommunistmenacetounions?Mr. Chamberlain'sreplywasdepressinglyvague. Labour,hesaid,"willcreateourownpoliciesin ourowncouncilsinaccordwithourconstitutional requirementswithoutanydictatesfrompeoplewho arenotmembersoftheparty."Thatscorpion-like rejoinder,withthestinginthetail,appearstome tobetrayamanatanonplus.

PRIMACYOFPOLITICS?
ItiscuriousthatMr.Chamberlainkeepstohis chargeofclerical"interference"asamanmight clingtoastrongandoriginalidea.Itfollows naturallyenoughfromasecularistphilosophyfrom whichthespiritualisextrudedifitisnotdenied. Butitinvolvesaclashbetweenthesecularist philosophyandthedemocraticprocedurewhichit isimpossibletoreconcile.Mr.Chamberlainisfree tobelievethatreligionshouldnotpresumeto criticisepoliticalmethods,evenwhentheseimpinge inmatterswhichtouchreligiousfundamentals.
Buttherearelargerfishtofry.Numericallythe Anglicansdeservefirstmention.Intheirnational weeklynewspaperofMay6thereisaleadingarticle ontheBishops'Pastoralwhichisamasterpieceof befuddlement.Howanyonewhowasquitesober couldwritesuchclassicalobfuscationmystifiesme. ItbeganbycallingthePastorala"partisandocument"!Next,withabreath-takingsampleof anachronism,itassertsthat"anumberofCommunistswereputintheirofficesintheunionsbecause TradeUnionmemberswereafraidofRoman Catholiccontrolandchosethiswaytoavoidit."
ThewritercouldobviouslynothavebeeninAustraliaduringthepastdecadeorhecouldnot honestlyhaveperpetratedthatbackwardreadingof history.It'sratherliketheproblemofwhichwas first-thehenortheegg,exceptthatinthisinstance theansweristheRedRooster.Andhewillhavea matingseasonveryshortly.Thenthewriternaively andquiteinexplicablyaskswhethertheBishops realisethatitwasnottheRomanCatholicChurch whichsetouttodefeatthereferendumin1949and gavetheTradeUnionsanopportunitytocleanup theirownhouse.
Ihastentoassure"TheAnglican"thatCatholics don'twishtoclaimtheslightestcreditformaintainingtheCommunistsasalawfulpoliticalparty.The Anglicansarewelcometothatpalmwhichmayyet yieldbitterashes.SincetheyjoinedEvattingiving theRedscontinuedlegalexistence,itwouldbeonly gracioustoacknowledgethatCatholicsgavethe initiativewherebytheunionswereatlengthable tosweeptheirstables.
"TheAnglican"thenrejoicesthatitdoesn'thave toliveinSpain,Italy,SouthAmerica,etc.,"where forsolongRomeruled."Itseemsdesirableforthe sakeofaccuracyintherecordtostatethatnotRome butliberalMasonicgovernmentsruledandruined thoselandsuntilveryrecenttimes.Itisperhaps notquitefranktousetheterm"Romerules"where onemeansthatanationpredominantlyCatholicis ruledbyanon-Catholicminorityjunta.

ButtoattempttodealwithCommunismona sheerbasisofpoliticsisakintoapproachingthe problemsofstructuralengineeringunconvincedof theutilityofsteelandconcrete.Itistocourt failureinatotalandabjectmanner,foritmeans utterincomprehensionofthethingoneproposesto fight.WhenMr.Chamberlainsneersinferentially atthetheologicalapproachtoCommunism,he probablymeansthatLabourhasnodirectinterest withthemilitantatheismoftheReds.Whathe missesbyamileisthatfromtheMarxistdenialof Godstemsthedistortednotionofthenatureofman uponwhichthewholepervertedsystemrests.He himselfgoesontospeakofLabourpolicybeing baseduponthe"conceptofthedignityofman." Butmanhasnointrinsicworthexceptasasonof God."IfmanisnottheimageofGod,thenheisa diseaseofthedust."
HencewemustconcludethatMr.Chamberlain's notionofthedignityofmanisnotatheologicalone. SeeminglyhedoesnotthinkofmanasChristians do,butofthathumorousfellow,"EconomicMan" whoisbutanantonanant-hill,or"PoliticalMan" whosesillinessisstickingoutoneveryside.This viewofexistence(foritcannotinanysatisfactory sensebecalledlife)isknownasmaterialismand itisacommonmeetinggroundforCommunistsand secularistpoliticians.Itdoesn'treallymatterthat theCommunistisforrevolutionandSocialistfor gradualism.Theendresultofbothsystemsisthe ant-hill.Andthatiswhymenofthekidneyof Dr.EvattandMr.Chamberlainhavenogreatheart inthebattleagainstCommunism.Themethods seemalittleextremetothem,maybe,butthefinal
ButMr.Chamberlainshouldrememberthatno Christiancanacceptthatpropositionwhichelevates politicaldecisionstoaprimacyoverthespiritual whichismanifestlyabsurd.Ifheappealstothe CatholicsintheLabourPartytopreferhisguidance totheleadershipoftheirBishops,heasksforan allegiancethattheCatholiccannotgivehim.For inthisquestionisinvolvedprimaryissuesconcerningfaithuponwhichtheBishopshaveadivine mandatetoteachwithauthority.Wherethereisa collisionbetweenamatterofconscienceandamere politicalhullabaloo,allthe"interference"willbe foundonthesideofthelesserparty.
