Cardinal'sWorkForFederation

IntheelectionstheCardinalwasdefeatedbeing placed14thoutofthefiftycandidates.ButFederationwasachieved,forasB.R.Wiseputit,theCardinal"swayedthousandswhomthepoliticianswould nothavereached."TheLabourleaderW.A.Holman notedhowtheCardinal'sspeecheshad"stampedhim asagreatstatesman."Andinalandwhereagreat statesmanisararaavis,theCardinalisashining exampleforthosewhowouldseektheirnation'sgood.

EvenSirHenryParkes,whowasnogreatlover ofCatholics,declared:"Ofallthevoicesonthe (Federal)question,novoicehasbeenmoredistinct, morefullofworthyforeshadowingofthequestion's greatnessandmorefraughtwithaclearprescience ofwhatislikelytocomeofFederation,thanthe voiceofthiseminentprelate."

PAGENINE andtheotherunionsswelledthecheers.Theprattle ofignorantmenaboutan"outside-influence"might beacauseofmirthtothisherooftheUnions.One thingiscertain;today'scryof"LettheBishopskeep tothesacristy"wouldhavesoundedveryhollowin theearsofthosedesparatemen.

TheleadershipofCardinalMoranwasnotconfinedtoCatholicworkers.Hewenttoallworkers andgavethemdignityandpolicywhentheirdefenderswerefew.Naturallyunionleadersfelthis helpgiventotheircause.Oneofthem,DuncanRoss, wrote:"Asatradeunionist,Iamdelightedtohave soaccomplishedachampionasCardinalMoran,the highestdignitaryoftheRomanChurch,onourside.

Littlewonder,therefore,thatfuturegenerations shouldplacetheCardinal-ArchbishopofAustralia alongsideCardinalManningofEnglandandCardinal GibbonsofAmerica.Littlewonder,also,thatthe nationjoinedwiththepeopleofSydneyinmourningthedeathofagreatpriestwho,inthewordsof ArchbishopMannix"didasmuchasanymanto putAustraliaonthemapoftheworld."Hisgreat reignoftwenty-seven-yearscametoanendonAssumptionDay,1911.

Butwhatofhisfaults?CardinalMoranwasnot withouthisfaults;forasArchbishopErisO'Brien hasnoted,theCardinal'spartintheConvention whichwastopreparethedraftoftheFederalConstitution,wasagainstjudiciousadvice;consequently therefollowed"amostbittercampaignofsectarianism."

ArchbishopMannixfinallysumsupthisgreatpriest bysaying-"HewasagreatIrishman,agreatAustralian,andagreatChurchman."This,Ithink,must betheverdictofallthosewho"beholdagreatpriest whoinhisdayspleasedGod,andwasfoundjust; andinthetimeofwrathwasmadeareconciliation."

TheIndianInquiryCommissionforesawthatitsReport wouldre-echothroughouttheworld.TheCommunistpress ofPekingwasthefirsttocongratulateIndiaforwishingto imitateChinainexpellingthemissionariesandorganisingan independentchurch.InChina,wherethisstagehasbeen reached,thechurch,tobetterdeceivetheChristians,iscalled "patriotic"andtheCatholicswhorefusetobecomepartof itarecondemnedasanti-revolutionariesandtraitorstotheir country.

DuringthefiveyearsofCommunistruleinChina,foreign missionarieshavebeenexpelledasspies.Actually,asofthe monthofSeptember,thereremain24foreignmissionaries: aBishop,H.E.MostRev.JamesE.Walsh,M.M.,and3priests withlimitedfreedom,9priestsinprisonand11Franciscan MissionaryofMarySisterswho,inPeking,conductaschool forforeignchildren.Twenty-four!Theseareallthatremain ofthe5,500missionariesoncenumberedinChina.When theCommunistsimposedtheirred"liberty"onChina,there wereapproximately3,000missionarypriests,500Brothers and2,000Sisters.
