ThefirstlessonwhichI learnedwasthatthepresentsynagoguereligionis thatoftheancientPharisees,andnotthatofthe TempleortheOldTestament.

Thechiefdoctrinalbook ofmodernJudaism(or Pharisaism,ifyoulike)is undoubtedlytheTalmud. TheTalmudembodiesthe Pharisees'oraldoctrines, whichwerefirstwritten downabout2Q0A.D.and assumedtheirpresentform about500A.D.
RabbiIsaacM.Wise,writingintheprefacetoM. L. TalmudRodkinson'sBabylonian translation(onpage xiofvolumeI),tellsusthat "themodernJewisthepro- ductoftheTalmud ." Letusthenexaminethis Talmud,andseeifaJudaistwhowishedtosupport

ThebestandmostcompleteEnglishtranslation waspublishedin1935by theSoncinoPress,London, undertheeditorshipof RabbiDr.I.Epstein,with aforewordbytheVery Rev.theChiefRabbiof GreatBritain,Dr.J.H. Hertz.
Allofthefollowingreferencesarefromthat translation.TheTalmudis composedofmanybooksas istheBible,sotheirnames andreferencesaregiven.

"Sanhedrin"(58b,p.398) instructsusthat"ifaheathensmitesaJew,heis worthyofdeath."

ThetertiarieswerereceivedbythePopeduring theirnationalconventionin Rome.
Afterthefoundationof theThirdOrder,whichhad beenimbuedwiththespirit anddoctrineofSt.Francis, thetertiariesentereda worldfilledwithbattlesand revenges,theHolyFather said.Theyworkedcautiously,butdoggedly,for thehumbleclasses.

"EverytimetheChurch calledhersonstoco-operate inareform,thetertiaries werealwaysreadytolend theirsupportinthecommoninterest."
ThePoperecalledthatit isagloryoftheThirdOrder thatithasbeenblessed,approved,andsorichlyindulgencedbypopes.Then hemadethreeparticular recommendationstothem.
Hesaid:
"First,beaschoolofintegralChristianperfection. TheThirdOrderwasborn ofthedesireofthosewho hadtoremainintheworld butdidnotwanttobeof theworld.Itthereforewants soulswhoyearnforperfectionintheirpresentstate oflife.
"Itisobviousthatyou cannotbeanorganisationof perfectmen,butyoucan beanorganisation-alay order,butarealorderwhichisaschoolofperfection.Withoutthisresolute will,onecannotproperly beapartofthischosenand gloriousmilitia."

Ifthisistrue,thePope added,theconditionmust beremediedimmediatelyso thattheThirdOrder,asin timespast,mayflourishand bearfruit.
ItisnotenoughthattertiariesknowthelifeofSt. Francisandrepeatitto others,butthetrueFranciscanspirititselfmustfill theworld.

"Manyhaveansweredthis appeal'andmany,weare convinced,willstillanswer it.Menwillbeawarethat apartfromChristthereis onlysorrowanddestruction.

Afterthefoundationof theThirdOrder,whichhad beenimbuedwiththespirit anddoctrineofSt.Francis, thetertiariesentereda worldfilledwithbattlesand revenges,theHolyFather said.Theyworkedcautiously,butdoggedly,for thehumbleclasses.

"EverytimetheChurch calledhersonstoco-operate inareform,thetertiaries werealwaysreadytolend theirsupportinthecommoninterest."
ThePoperecalledthatit isagloryoftheThirdOrder thatithasbeenblessed,approved,andsorichlyindulgencedbypopes.Then hemadethreeparticular recommendationstothem.

"Themosttryingperiodofmylifewasatthebeginning,whenIbecamechiefofdistrictandprovincialgovernor,-heanswered."Ihadplansfor reformbutnotenoughpowertocarrythemout."

Diemacceptedthepremiershipandreturnedto Vietnam.Lessthanamonthlater,theGenevaConferenceendedwiththesigningoverofthree-fifths ofVietnamtotheCommunistVietminh.TheFrench expectedthattherestofthecountrywouldpass intoVietminhhandsin,atmost,twoyears.

ChurchPropertyStolenDuring ReformationNotRecoverable
Enquirer,Ryde:Iamcurioustoknowwho aretheownersofWestminsterAbbeyand, otherpropertiesinEnglandstolenbytheProtestantreformers. R.:No.Withthedeathof Maryandtheaccessionof Elizabeth,suppressionof monasteriesandconfiscation ofthembecametheorderof theday. Monkswerehanged, drawnandquartered,orexpelledfromthecountry. Theyhadnotevenalegal righttoexistinEngland,let aloneanyrighttothepro- tectionoflaw.
DuringthereignofQueen Mary,whenCardinalPole wassentbythePopeas ApostolicLegatetoarrange forthereconciliationof EnglandwiththeCatholic Church,theproblemarose astowhatwastobedone inregardtoecclesiastical properties.
Many,ofcourse,werestill beingusedforreligiouspurposes,andtheywouldautomaticallycontinuetobe usedfortherestoredCatholicworship,beingregarded simplyashavingbeenCatholicChurchpropertyall along. ButduringthelargescaleplunderoftheChurch duringthereignsofHenry VIIIandEdwardVI,much ecclesiasticalpropertyboth inlandsandbuildingshad passedintosecularhands.
Thereweremanywealthy peoplewhohadenriched themselvesattheexpense oftheChurch. CardinalPolewasauthorisedbythePopenotto demandtherestorationof theseill-gottenproperties, but,athisowndiscretion tocondonethepastfrom thispointofview,andconfirmpossessorsintheirtitle toownership.
ButCardinalPoledied beforetakingactioninthis matter,andthecasehas beenleftinabeyancefrom thatdaytothis.
Q.:Didthemonksevertry toestablishtheirrightin aCourtofBritishjustice?
WhenCatholicEmancipationcamein1829,thepossessorsofsuchproperties werepossessorsin"good faith,"andtheirtitleswent backwelloverthehundred yearsrequiredforavalid titleby"prescription"as farasBritishlawisconcerned.
Civiljusticewouldnotregardanycaseagainstthem asactionableatlaw.For allpracticalpurposes,the presentownersofpre-ReformationecclesiasticalpropertiesinEnglandmustbe regardedasthelawful owners.
ShouldEnglandever,as acountryandanationreturntounitywithRome, theHolySeewouldmake suchprovisionsasmightbe necessarytobringeverythingintoconformitywith thelawsoftheChurch.
Buttherearenoprospectsofthatinourgeneration.
Q.:Furthermore,arethe Englishpeoplegenerally acquaintedwithhistoryin thesematters?
R.:Iwouldsaythatat mosttheyhaveonlyavague andveryinadequatenotion ofitwrappedupinahost ofdistortionsandinaccuracies.
WhyGreekError?
Q.:Furthermore,Matthew, MarkandLukewrotein Greek,inwhichlanguage Ibelievetheycouldeasily haverenderedthecorrect meaning.
R.:Hereyouareonbetter ground.Forwhilstin Aramaicthewordbrother (orsister)wouldbeused foranyrelativeingeneral, theGreeklanguagedidhave aprecise,wordfora'kinsman,"namely"suggenes," asdistinctfromtheword for"brother,"namely,"adelphos."
Why,then,didnotthe evangelistsusetheword for"kinsmen,"whenwritinginGreek,ifindeedthe brothersandsistersofJesus werenotstrictlyso,instead ofusingtheGreekword for"brethren?"
HebraismsInBible
Thereasonisbecause, althoughtheywrotein Greektheystillthoughtas JewsinAramaic,andused theword"brethren"inthe Aramaicsense.
Asamatteroffact,the Greekwordfor"brother" wasitselfusedbythe Greeks,notonlyfora "brother"inthestrictsense oftheword,butforany "relative"ingeneral.
Buttheevangelistswere notconcernedwiththe Greeksense.Theywere translatingAramaicideas literally,intendingtheAramaicsense.Theirlanguage isreallyAramaicinaGreek dress.
ThinDisguise
Sopronouncedarethe HebraismsintheGospels thatC.C.Torrey,in1936, maintainedthatallfour Gospelsmusthavebeen writtenoriginallyinAramaicandthatwehavein themon1y"translation Greek,"athindisguisefor Aramaic.
Fewscholarshavebeen willingtogothatfar;butit bringsoutthefactthatthe Aramaicwayofthinkingis veryevidenttoHebrewexperts,andthatnosoundargumentcanbebasedon thefactthattheGreekword for"brethren"wasusedin theGospelsinsteadofthe Greekwordfor"kinsmen" ingeneral.
"CommunistManifesto," thePlatformoftheA.L.P. hasnotyetbeenally clarified?
R.:Thatnotonlycnbe said.Itmustbesaid.Asa matteroffact,thePlatform cannotbefinallyclarified untiloneoftwothingshappens.
Eitherthe"Objective"itself,namely,thesocialisationofindustry,production, distributionandexchange, willbeabolishedandanonMarxist"Objective"substitutedforit,towhichafinal andprecise"Platform"can be jective"adjusted;orthe"Obwillremainuntil communiststakeover,when a"Platform"willbedevised fullyinaccordancewithit.
AsDr.LloydRosspointedoutin1954,thepresent A.L.P.regardssocialismas an"umbrellaterm,"coveringamultitudeofideas, interpretingitaccordingto thepoliticalneedsofthe Australiannation.
Asthesituationconstantlychanges,so,too,the "Platform."Butthetrouble is.thatthe"Objective"is allowedstilltostandandis consistentlyreaffirmed.

Asaresult,allthesoftpedallingofsocialisationby amoderateLabourGovernmentwillgofornothingif communistelementssecure control.

PiusXIissuedhisfamousencyclicalQuadragesimoAnna inMay,1931.TheLatinnamefollowstheVaticancustom oftitlingsuchdocumentsaftertheirfirstwords. In English,thenameRestoringtheChristianSocialOrder wasattributedtothisdocument.QuadragesimoAnnowas sugiTstedbywhatiscalled"theincomparableencyclical ofLeoXILIofhappymemory,RerumNovarum,"which appearedjust40yearspreviously.

ManypriestsandCatholiclaymen,whohadlongdevoted themselvesto"relievingtheundeservedmiseryoftheworkingclasses,"refusedtopersuadethemselvesthattheunjust distributionoftemporalgoodswasinharmonywiththe designsofanall-wiseCreator.
