Therallymarkedthe closeofthevisittoWestern Australiaofthenational spiritualdirectorofthe society(theRev.D.M.Fitzmaurice,O.P.)whowasthe preacherfortheoccasion. HisGracetheArchbishop presidedinthesanctuary.

TheRosaryandsociety prayerswererecitedbythe diocesanspiritualdirector, theRev.T.Ahern,whoexpressedthegratitudeofHis Grace,theparochialspiritualdirectors,theDiocesan Unionandthatofthe branchesforthevisitof FatherFitzmaurice.

Hesaidthathismissionaryzealhadinfectedall privilegedtohearandmeet himanditwasconfidently expectedthattheprogress ofthesocietyintheWest wouldbegreatlyadvanced byhisvisitandhisuntiring workonitsbehalfduring thepastfiveweeks.

TheV.Rev.DeanHogan ledthemenintherecitalof thepledge.

SignOfVictory

Takingashistextthe clauseoftheHolyName pledge:"Ipledgemysupporttoalllawfulauthority bothcivilandreligious," FatherFitzmauricesaidthat insuchagatheringofCatholicmanhoodmightbeseen thesignthatGodhadgiven toHisChurchinthisage.

Thegreatobjectofthe enemiesoftheChurchhad beentodriveawedgebetweentheCatholicshepherdsandtheirflock.Not alonehadtheyfailedin that,buttheChurchhad beenstrengthenedbytheir veryefforts.

ThatwasthesignofvictorywhichGodhadnever failedtogiveHispeople.In daysgonebywhenChristendomwasunderattack Godraisedupgreatmento meetthecrisis.

Werethecrisisdoctrinal, agreatteacherordoctorof theuirchwouldleadmen sec tothetruth;were it tary,someinspiring leaderwouldrallythe forcesofChristendom;were itmoral,somesaintwould begivenwhoseflamingzeal wouldfillmen'shearts.

Today,Godwasmaking useofthelaity.Thiswas theageofthelaymaninthe lifeoftheChurch.Thiswas thetimewhenthesupport ofeveryCatholicmanwas needed.

Augustine'sBoast

Thewords:"Ipledgemy supporttoalllawfulauthoritybothcivilandreligious,"mustneverbecome anemptyformulaonthe lipsofaHolyNameman. Bymeansofthesimpledisciplineofhismembership hewasenabledtoassistthe Churchmightilyinhistime.

SuchsocietiesastheHoly NameSocietyaffordedthe climateinwhichtheChurch mightmakemostprogress. Wheretheregularpractice ofthefaithaboundedamong ordinarymen,theChurch wasgiventhatsupport whichenabledhertoforge aheadwithherwork.

Andthus,amanwasa betterCatholicforbeinga HolyNameman.Hewas likewiseabetterAustralian forbeingagoodCatholic.

Ifthehistoryofthepast centurybeeverobjectively, andComprehensivelywritten,itwouldbeacknowledgedthattheCatholic Churchhadcontributedbeyondmeasuretothelifeof thisnation.

Thatwasastruetodayas itwasinthedayswhenSt. Augustinesaid:

"Letthosewhosaythat thedoctrineofChristis harmfultotheStateprovide anarmyofsoldierssuchas thedoctrineofChristbids soldierstobe;letthemproducesuchsubjects,such parentsandchildren,such mastersandslaves,such kings,judges,taxpayersand tax-gatherers,asChristian doctrinewouldhavethem be-andthenletthemdare assertthatthisdoctrineis harmfultotheState.

"Rather,letthemunhesitatinglyadmit,thatwhen

observed,itistheState's greatestsalvation."

ItwastheCatholicChurch thatchallengedsecularism andwithuntoldsacrifice helditatbayuntilthe nationhadtime recognisetheevilofitsgodless educationalprogrnrnme.

Itwasandis,theCatholic ChurchthatfoughtCommunismatatimewhenour intellectualandsocialleaderstrifledwithit.

ItwastheCatholicChurch alonethatresistedthose elementsthat-wouldstrike attherootoffamilylife. Shespokefortheunborn, shecherishedtheaged.

Andiftherecordsofthe HolyNameSocietybe examined,itwouldbeseen thatthepeacetimecontributionofvirtuewasbacked byacorrespondingcontributionofvalourintimeof war.

AHolyNamemanhad reasontobeproudofhis society.Godandcountry alikewerehonouredbyhis livinguptoitsideals.

OnOriginsOfChurchOfEngland

R.:TheArchbishopof Canterburydenouncedthe ideainasermonatOxford onNovember6,lastyear, 1955.TheLondon"Church Times"atoncetookhimto taskfordoingso.

Inaleadingarticleon November11itpointedout thathehimselfhadappointedacommissiontoinquire intothecanonisationof saintsintheChurchofEnglandin1948,andthatthat commissionhasnotyetpresenteditsreport.

NoProvisionMode

Itdeclaredthathehadno righttospeakinsuchaway untilthereportwasfinalised;alsothathisviews wereapersonalopinionand nothingmore,withnobindingforceintheChurchof England.

Q.:HastheAnglicanChurch evercanonisedsaints,and hasshethepowertodo so?

TheArchbishopofCanterburyprotestedagainstthe ChurchofEngland"starting"tocanonisesaints.That isanadmission,ofcourse, thattheChurchofEngland startedatthetimeofthe Protestantreformation.

Ifshewereonewiththe pre-reformationChurchin whichthecanonisationof saintswasasnormalaprocessasintheCatholic Churchtoday,shewould havestartedlongago.

Butthehistoryofthe ChurchofEnglandasa nationalchurchbeganin 1534,andshehasnever canonisedanysaints.Most Anglicanauthoritiesadmit thattheywouldnotknow howtogoaboutit.Anglicanformulariesmakeno provisionforit.

ShouldtheArchbishop's "Commission"recommendit anddeviseaprocedurefor it,thentheAnglican Church,withtheconsentof theBritishparliament, wouldhavethepowerto pronouncesaintscanonised forAnglicanpurposes;but thiswouldhavevaluefor Anglicansonly,justasany otherAnglicanecclesiastical legislation.

Itwouldrankmerelywith decisions,say,oftheMethodistConferenceofMethodists.

R.:Whentheso-called "WitnessesofJehovah"ask aCatholicaquestionlike that,itisnotthattheywant anyinformation,butthat theyhopetoscoreavictory inthedebate.

Buttheybetray,overand overagain,thattheyneither knowthegospels,norhave anyspiritualunderstanding ofthem.

AllHisbeautifulteachingswerearevelationof theSacredHeartfromwhich theycame.Again,theonly personallessonHeevergave was:"LearnofMebecause Iammeekandhumbleof heart."(Matt.11:20.)

IfSt.Paulcouldwriteto thePhilippians:"Ihaveyou allinmyheart"(Phil.1:7), howmuchmoretrulycould notOurLordsaythatto eachoneofus!

Heartspeakstoheart.The verydiscipleswhometOur LordafterHisresurrection astheywerewalkingalong theroadtoEmmaussaid afterwards:"Wasnotour heartburningwithinus whilstHespokeinthe way?"(Lk.24:32.)

Theloveintheheartof Jesusforthemwasnotless thantheirsforHim.All thismaybeaforeignlanguageto"WitnessesofJehovah,"butnottoCatholics.

Q.:Itoldthe"Witnesses" thatwegotthedevotion fromChrist'sappearances toSt.MargaretMary.

R.:Thatreplywascertainlyinadequate.TherevelationsoftheSacred HearttoSt.MargaretMary confirmedanage-longdevotiontotheSacredHeart, and,ifyouwish,gaveit greaterprecisionbesides promotingitsdevelopment intheChurch.

Certainlythedevotioncan betracedbacktotheearliestChristiantimes.The earlyChristianFatherssaw thewoundingofthesideof Christwithalance,after HisdeathontheCross,as asymbolofouraccessto theimmenseloveHisHeart everheldforus.
