ItShewascertainlyforhisignoranceofEnglish mistakeninthinkingthathistory.

"her"titleas"Defenderof theFaith"wasderivedfrom thePope.

PopeLeoXgavethat titletoHenryVIIIin1521 fordefendingthePapal SupremacyagainstMartin Luther.ThetitlewasgrantedtoHenrypersonally,and notbeinheritedbyhis successors.

WhenHenryVIIIhimself lateronlefttheCatholic Churchhewasexcommunicatedandthetitle"DefenderoftheFaith,"given tohimasapersonalhonour, waswithdrawn.

"Christian,"Roseville,N.S.W.:Recently,inAmerica,aLutheranCommitteefoundayoungLutheranministerguiltyofheresy becausehedeniedtheVirginBirthofJesus,therealityofsome ofthemiraclesinthegospels,andthetransfiguration,resurrectionandascensionofChrist.

R.:Denialssuchasthose wouldcertainlyberegarded bytheCatholicChurchas heretical,andaCatholic bishopwouldimmediately suspendfromofficeany priestguiltyofthem.

InrealityitlapsedbeforethatwhenHenrywas excommunicated.Andwhen, afterthat,Henryarrogated thetitletohimself,heno longerprofessedthefaith whichfor10centurieshad madeEnglandtheland'f saints,norhadanyintentionofbeingthedefender ofit.

Hewasdeterminedto wagewaronPapalSupremacywhichhehadpreviously declaredessentialtothe CatholicFaith;andoneof hisfirstactswastowreck theshrineofSt.Thomas a'BecketinCanterbury Cathedralwhohaddied asamartyrpreciselyfor theprincipleofPapal Supremacy.

PopePiusXnodoubtintendedhiswordsasa graciouscomplimenttothe EnglishCatholicpilgrims; buthewasclearlyunaware oftheactualhistoryofthe title"DefenderoftheFaith" asclaimedbyBritish sovereigns.

But,whilsttheLutheran Churchmayinsistinits officialformulariesonthe truthofthesethings,itisin somewhatofaquandary whenarecalcitrantLutheranministerappealsto MartinLuther'sownprincipleoftherightofeach readeroftheBibletointerpretitforhimself.

Q.:TheRev.Mr.Cristadmittedthatheheldviews withwhichhewas charged,butdeniedthat hisbeliefsdifferedfrom theteachingsofMartin Luther,thefounderofthe LutheranChurch. Itwouldbedifficultto provethatMartinLuther sharedMr.Crist'sunbelief intheparticularmatters mentioned.

throughthewholeof humanitywasAdam. Hisfavouriteepistle,that totheRomans,saysclearly that"byonemansinenteredtheworld";andcommentingonRomans(8:3), Lutherwroteexpresslythat weallhaveavitiated naturethroughAdam'ssin." Ifhebelievedinnothing else,Luthercertainlybelievedinthedoctrineof originalsin.

Butsincehetaughtthe rightofprivatejudgment inbiblicalmatters,andthe LutheranChurchprofesses toacceptthatprinciple,it isdifficulttoseehowLuther himselfortheLutheran ChurchtodaycouldcondemntheRev.Mr.Cristfor arrivingbyhisownprivate judgmentatconclusions fromhisBiblereadingof whichtheyhappentodisapprove.Butthatdilemma isoneforLutheransthemselvestosolve.

PriestTellsWhy ConvertsIncrease

(ByFatherIvarS.McGrath)

Formosa.-AhighpercentageoftheconvertswhohavehelpedtodoubletheCatholic populationofFormosainthepasttwoyears havecomefromtheChinesemainland.The islandnowhas50,000Catholics.

WhiletheFormosa-born Chineseoutnumberthe Chinesefromthemainland byaboutfourtoone,about halfthetotalconversionsto Catholicismareamongthe mainlanders.

Itwouldappearthatthe twomainreasonsforthis arethefollowing:

Itisafactthatsocial customs,closelyboundup withandbasedupon,local traditionsandpagancults, isthegreatestobstacleto conversion.

ThemainlandChinesein Taiwan(Formosa)have beenup-rootedanddetachedfromthetraditional pagansocietyoftheir

nativetownsandvillages. Agreatobstacle,therefore, totheiracceptanceofthe truthsofCatholicismhas beenremoved.

Itisalsoafactthat thevicissitudeswhichhave causedthemtoleavetheir homesonthemainland, havealsocausedthemto seekasureandabidingintellectualandspiritual haven.
