ChurchRejectsNotionOf ChristSettingUpKingdom

"SearcherAfterTruth,"Croydon:WhenspeakingoftheSecond ComingofChrist,yousaid:"Hewillnotcometothisearthinany senseoflivinginthisworldoncemore,orofsettingupanykind ofearthlykingdom."

R.:Despiteallyouhave tosayinyourpresentletter,Iwouldbeobligedto giveexactlythesamereply onthesubjectastheone youhavequoted.

Q.:Yourstatementrulesout whathasbeentaughtin theChurchsincePentecost. R.:Itisopposedto nothingthathaseverbeen taughtinthenameofthe CatholicChurch.

DuringthefirstfourcenturiesvariousChristian writersexpressedvarious opinionsonthesubject, somethinkingthatChrist willcomeagaintosetup anearthlykingdomfora thousandsyearsormillennium;othersthatHewill establish,notstrictlyan earthlykingdom,butakind ofThesespiritualisedkingdom weretheirown speculations.Theywere individual,neveruniversal beliefs;andalwaysthere wereotherequallyimportantwritersstronglyoppos- edtothem.

Fromthefourthcentury onwardsthemindofthe CatholicChurchhasmanifesteditselfmoreandmore decidedlyagainstanykind ofkingdominthisworld followingupontheSecond AdventofChrist.

Q.:YoualsosaidthatSt. Paul"declaresthatthose

R.:Correct. Q.:Allright.Thatthere willbesomelivingatthe SecondComingpresupposesanearthforthemto liveon.

R.:Naturallytheearth willcontinueasitisuntil theSecondComingof Christforthosetoliveon uptothatmomentwhoactuallywillbelivingthen. Butthatinnowaymilitatesagainstmystatement thatChristwillnotcometo setupanearthlykingdom inthisworld.

St.Paulwrites:"Behold Itellyouamystery In amoment,inthetwinkling ofaneye,atthelasttrumpet thedeadshallrise againincorruptible,andwe shallbechanged."(1Cor. 15:51,52.)

Thereisnosuggestion thereeitherofHissetting upakingdomonthisearth, orofourremainingonthis earth.

Q.:Isthistheteachingof theinfallibleuniversal Church,ortheteachingof theIndividualpriest,Dr. Rumble?

R.:TheCatholicChurch hasnevergivenaninfallibledefinitionofdoctrineon thissubject.Butthatdoes notmeanthatshehasnever givenanyauthoritativerulingsconcerningit.
