Morethan600menoftheHolyNameSocietylastSunday nightheardtheRev.D.Lewis,0.P.,explain-andstrongldefend -therightofBishopsofAustraliatopronounceonthe"conduct ofpublicaffairs."

FatherLewiscalledon allHolyNamementogive "implicitobedience"tothe HolySeeandtheBishopsof Australia-acallwhichhe describedas"ofparamount importance."

TheoccasionwasaDiocesanRallyoftheHoly NameSocietymembersin St.Mary'sCathedral.His GracetheArchbishoppresided.

Therewereprominent menwhohadcriticisedthe Bishopsfortheirallegedincursionintothepolitical fieldintheirrecentpastoral, andonehadevensaidthat manydevoutCatholics wouldresistthatincursion, FatherLewistoldtherally.

Butalldecent-minded menwouldcreditthe Bishopswithbeinghonourablemenandwouldbelieve themwhentheysaidthey werenotenteringintothe fieldofapoliticalparty,he added.

WhileSt.Paulinsistedon theconscientiousdutyof submissiontothetemporal powers,St.Petershowedus bywordandactionthat therecameatimewhenwe mustobeyGodratherthan man-thedividinglinewas thepre-eminenceofthe spiritualoverthetemporal welfareofman.

Thetemporalpowers,on theotherhand,hadno directconcernwithman's spiritualwelfare-infact, theyopenlyconfessedtheir unconcern.

Forinstance,duringthe war,themilitaryauthorities,representingthetemporalpowers-werevery worriedaboutthetroops associatingwithwomenin housesofill-fame,Father Lewissaid.

Whatwastheirsolutiontolicensethehouses,send outpatrolsofdoctorsand providethetroopswith safeguardsagainstphysical sickness.

Theyprovidedtemporal welfareforamanatthe expenseofhissoul,he pointedout.

Itwasthereforeleftto theChurchtoprotectthe spiritualormoralinterests ofman-consequently, ChristgavetothePastors ofHisChurch,notonlythe rightbutthedutytoexamineandtopronounceon themoralissuesinvolvedin theeffortsofthetemporal powerstoadvanceman's materialconditions.

Thenovelideaofspiritualauthorityvestedinthe temporalpowers,introduced byLutherintoChristian thoughtandeagerlyadopted-forobviousreasonsbythetemporallordswas contrarytoChristianteaching.

onlytheexaggeratedclaims ofHenryIIandHenryVIII.buthadalsoresistedindefenceoftheChurch'sright toexamineandproclaim therightsofGodoverthose ofCaesar,andtoinstruct menwhen"therightsof Caesarencroachedonthe rightsofGod."

Therewasagooddealof talkthesedaysaboutMcCarthyismandthesmearingofmeninpublicplaces. SomeCatholicsevenwere sometimesafraidofbeing labelledfor"interferingin politics,"FatherLewissaid. NoCatholicshouldfear thatsmearcampaign.Christ himselfhadwarnedHis Churchthatitwouldbe persecutedasHewaspersecuted.

So,inthe16thcentury, whenmenweredeeplyconcernedwithreligion,the ChurchwasdubbedasubverteroftheGospeland today,inthefaceofaworld hardlyinterestedinGod, thechargewaschangedto politicalsubversion.

R.:Theimplicationthat theleadershipoftheBishop ofRomewaseventuallyestablishedbeyondargument issomething.Anditwas certainlythusestablished forcenturiesbeforetheProtestantreformerstookit uponthemselvestorejectit.

Butisittruethatcenturieselapsedafterthe CouncilofJerusalembefore PapalsupremacywasestablishedthroughoutChristendomandbeyondargument?Thathistorydeclaresnottobetrue.

Whatistrue,ofcourse,is thatastheChurchrapidly expandedtothemostdistantlocalities,oneinfaith andworship,thedevelopmentofsystematisationand organisationwasamore gradualprocess.

CertainitisthatSt.Peter diedinRomelessthan20 yearsaftertheCouncilof Jerusalem,whilstsuchdocumentaryevidenceashas survivedfromthefirstcenturyshowsthatbytheend ofthatcenturyaspecial dignityandpre-eminence belongedtotheChurchof Rome.

Inthesecondcenturywe haveamanlikeSt.Irenaeus,BishopofLyonsin far-offGaul,enumerating thesuccessorsofSt.Peter rightdowntoPopeEleutherius,ofhisownday,and insistingonthenecessityof unionwithRome.

Variousopinionsconcerningthenatureandfunctions ofthePapalofficemay havebeenexpressedbydifferentindividualwriters; thefactofhisofficeand leadershipwasacknowledgedinthecaseofthe BishopofRomefromthe deathofSt.Peteronwards.

R.:Baha-Ullahtaught thatallpreviousreligious teachers,Confucius,Buddha, Zoroaster,Moses,Christ andMahometwereprecursorsonly,senttoprepare thewayforhimself.

InBaha-Ullah,therefore, menweretolookforthe fulnessofGod'srevelation andthe"MostGreat Peace."Hisfollowers,the "Bahais,"saythatsinceall religionsaimatthesame goal,allshouldunitebyaccepting"Bahaism."

Theydeclarethatthe DivineCommandforthis ageisthatthe"Bahais" mustunifyhumanitywithin onefaithandoneorder,so thattherewillbe"one world"and"onereligion."

Wehaveheardallthat before,ofcourse.Father Divine,theAmericannegro whodeclareshimselftobe "god,"wantstounifythe worldinhisparticular brandofpeace;whilstthe WitnessesofJehovahthink itistheirmissiontodictatewhatthe"oneworld" and"onereligion"istobe like.Theclaimsofthe "Bahai"causearenobetterthantheirs.

"TryAgain,"Menindee: Theenclosedslipfrom the"Sun-Herald,"of March20,quotesBishop FultonSheenassaying:

"Whenyoulookatthe world'sconditiontoday, yousometimeswishNoah hadmissedtheboat."Do youagreewithhim?

R.:Thatisonlyafigurativewayofsayingthatone whothinksofitfindsthe sum-totalofunrest,distress andlackofsecurityinthe worldtodayratherappalling.Iagree,ofcourse. thatonedoes.Butthereis noneedtothinkonlyof thatandgivewaytopessimism.AndIamsure BishopFultonSheendid notmeanustodothat.He wouldbethefirsttosay thatthereisanotherside tothepicturealso.

R.:No.NordidBishop FultonSheenthinkthat. Youaretakingliterallya figurativeexpressionnot intendedinsuchaway.

Q.:DoesBishopSheenmean thattherewouldhave beennoworldasweknow itnow,ifNoahhadmissedtheboat?

R.:Hehadnointention ofdealingwiththatquestionseriously.Hiswasonly asemi-humorousallusion basedonthepopularimpressionthatNoahand thoseinthearkwithhim werethesolesurvivorsof thehumanraceatthat time;andthat,iftheyhad notbeensaved,mankind wouldhavecometoan end.

That,ofcourse,would havemeantnoworldpopulatedwithhumanbeingsas weknowitnow,andthereforenoneofthetroubles experiencedbygenerations subsequenttoNoah.

Needlesstosay,thereis notanatomofscientific justificationforthissocalled"scientifichumanism."

Q.:Mrs.Knight,alecturerinpsychologyat AberdeenUniversity,said overtheB.B.C.that"scientifichumanism"is"anattitudewhichfindsthesource ofvaluesinmanrather thaninGod."

R.:Rightly,atleast,she describesitasamental attitude.Butitisnota scientificattitude.Nordoes it"find"thesourceof valuesinmanratherthan inGod.

Acknowledgingthefact thatmoralvaluesdoplaya greatpartinhumanlife,socalled"scientifichumanists" merelydeclarethatmandevelopedthesenseofmoral valuesforhimself,andthat itiswrongtoholdthatGod implanteditinman.

NotesOnGovernor'sJoining(raft

Sir,-Inoticethatthe StateGovernor(SirCharles Gairdner)isgoingtobe installedasGrandMasterof theWestAustralianCraft (W.A.C.)onMay26,the ceremonyhavingbeenadvertisedtotakeplaceatthe University,presumablyat thetaxpayers'expense.

Uptothetimeofwriting, Ihavenotreceivedmyinvitation,whichisrather disappointing,asIhave beenlookingforwardto writinguptheceremonyfor yourpaper.

ProbablytheUniversity Lodge(No.154)willbethe hostLodge,andtheoffice holderswillbeverybusy.

TheW.M.isBrotherD.H. Fraser,theS.W.isBrother G.H.Lutz,theJ.W.is BrotherG.Hondros,and theSecretaryisBrotherJ. R.Espie.Thelodgemeets onthefirstFridayinthe month.

Mostofthe33rddegree Masonswillbepresent,and anAmericanbookstates thatthisdegreeinvolves takingthefollowingoath: "UndermyfeetItrample thepapaltiara,notasa symbolofacreed,areligion,orofaparticular church,butasasymbolof ambition,offraud,which reducesmantoservitudeby fearandsuperstition."

impliedintheforegoing vowwhenWilliamArthur inhisbook,'ThePope,the KingandthePeople,"describesoneincidentwhich takesplaceattheCoronationServiceofthePontiff: "Takethouthetiaraadornedwiththetriplecrown, andknowthatthouartthe Fatherofprincesandkings, andarttheGovernorofthe World."

Itwouldbeinterestingto knowifSirCharlesisa 33rddegreeMason,asthe localMasonicpaper,"The Craftsman,"doesnotgive thisinformation.However, theMarchissueofthat paper,whichwaskindly loanedtomebyaMasonic friend,statesthatsomebody hasbeenattackingFreemasonry.

Theitemreads,"TheinterestshownbytheRoyal FamilyandtheirrepresentativesinFreemasonryis byfarthebestanswerto critics.WeinthisState havebeensubjectedinrecentyearstoaparticularly scurrilousattackbyclever andruthlessenemies.Let this(thatis,theGovernor's installation)beouranswer."

NowIwonderwhohas beenattackingFreemasonry?Cananybodyhelpme solvethatmystery?

Sir,-YourissueofApril 28cametohandtoday.I wasindeedpleasedtoread H.Gollop'sletteronthe Yaltaagreement.Iamin completeagreementwith himonthesubject.

Isincerelycongratulate himandmustsayitisrefreshingtofindsuchunexpectedcommonsenseappearinginyourcolumns.

Itisnotrealisedperhaps bymanyofyourcontributorsthatthelastGerman warwasaveryclosely-run contestindeed-evensolate asDecember,1944.

Germanywascapableof givingussomenastyshocks uptothebitterend.

GermanStrength Germanjetfighterswere, forinstance,wellaheadof anythingwehaduptill then. Fortunatelythey neverreachedthecombat zonesinquantity.

ThefastGermanU-boats neversawservice.Had theydonesotheBattleof theAtlanticwouldhave hadtohavebeenrefought andwouldverylikelyhave been lost.

Therewereotherthings, too,whichtheGerman Boffinswerecookingup-if reliablerumoursweretrue.

Butthetwomentioned abovecouldhave,ifthewar hadlastedanotheryear, alteredourfortunesmost adversely.

Thesethingswereknown tothethreeatYalta.Stalin, thecynic,whowouldhave madepeacewiththatother arch-villainHitleratthe dropofahathaditsuited him,couldthereforeeasily imposehistermsonthe othertwo.

GuiltOfHitler

Iamnotsuggestingthat everyactionbythesemen mustberegardedasstampedwiththeimprimaturof hierarchicalapproval.But Istateemphaticallythat theirstandinthis"outstandingissueforthe NationandtheChurch"is muchnearertotheheart andmindoftheBishops thanisthestandtakenby SenatorTangney.

TwoAnswers

Itisnotwithoutsignificancethatinrecentmonths, andasa"reward"forhis pains,Mr.Burkehasbeen removedfromCaucusexecutive,andhassuffered censureandhumiliationat thehandsoftheState Executive.

Bycontrast,Senator Tangneyhasbeenelevated totheCaucusexecutiveactuallytothepositionfrom whichMr.Burkewasremoved.(Iamnotcertain that,atthepresenttime, electiontoCaucusexecutive representsan"elevation." Infact,theremaybesome whoconsideritaplumbing ofthedepths.)

Itmaybeasked:Whathas allthispoliticalstufftodo withanarticleonthe SistersofSt.Josephofthe Apparition?

Sir.-Quitealotofpeople arewonderinghowthe LabourPartywillfight(?) theCommunistsnowthat Dr.Evatthasdestroyedthe IndustrialGroups,anda Melbournedailypaper,the "Herald"alsogotcurious andaskedsomequestions oftheFederalLeader(Dr. Evatt)andMr.J.V.Stout, presidentoftheVictorian pro-Communistbranchof theA.L.P.

Herearethequestions thatwereasked:

HowwillLabourfight Communistsintheunions nowthatindustrialgroups arebeingorhavebeendestroyed?

WhatdoesLabourmean byaneducationalprogrammetocombatCommunism?Doesitmean therewillbeschools,radio talks,distributionofpamphlets,meetings?

WilltheLabourParty activelybacksectionsin unionstryingtooustCommunistunionofficials?

WillanyoftheLabour Party'sfundsgotothat end?

WilltheLabourParty givetheutmosthelpin unionelectionstoopposing Communistcandidates?If so,how?

Ifanti-CommunistsectionsinunionswantLabour Partyhelp,howshouldthey goaboutgettingit?To whomshouldtheygo?

WilltheLabourParty helpJ.J.Browntogetback hisjobintheVictorian Railways?

Thefirstansweristhat thequestionimpliesacceptance,atleastinpart,ofthe secularheresyofthedivisionofourlivesintothe nicewater-tightcompartments,withtheoneforreligionkeptwellinthebackgroundexceptperhapson Sundaysandafewother oddtimes.

Thesecondansweristhat thepublicationofanarticle intheCatholicpressadds totheprestigeoftheauthor, atleastintheeyesofCatholics,anditlendsanaura ofrespectabilitytohis(or her)activitiesgenerally.

Blackmail,notconspiracy andnothoodwinking,Isthe keytotheYaltapuzzle.

Andweshoulddowel torememberthatHitler wasevenmorehostileto ChristianitythanStalin andwasevenmorebloodyminded.

Itisnotformetoapportionguilteventosuch wretchesasStalinandHitler,butinmyopinionno onemoreevilthanAdolph Hitlerwasborntowoman sincethebirthofNero.
