Apparentlyanarrangementalongtheselineswas reached,withTitoagreeingtojointhe"commonwealth."ThePolish"revolution"underGomulka hadnotgonesofarthatitcouldnotbekeptwithin thisframe.GomulkaisnegotiatingwithMoscow now.

InSpainyouwouldbe allowedtoworshipindependentlytoyourheart'scontent.However,youare concernedwiththe"right" ofProtestantsgenerallyto engageinreligiouspropagandaamongtheCatholic population.ThelawinSpain wouldnotpermitthat.

Itmustberemembered thatSpainhashadthe CatholicFaithfromapostolictimes.ItwasprobablypreachedtherebySt. Paulhimself,whospeaksin theEpistletotheRomans ofhisintentiontogoto Spain.St.ClementofRome, writingabouttheyear96 A.D.,saysthatheactually didso. Inthe16thcenturythe leDEDEKOSOIXDOOMMOOONAO00eSc

CatholicBibles?

TheProtestantArchbishopMowll,ofSydney, wouldatleastappreciate theforceofthatargument, forhedeclaredattheAnglicanSynod,inSeptember last,that"theChurchof Englandbelieveditinthe bestinterestsofaunited nationthatthegreatmajorityofitscitizensshould haveacommoneducation andnotbesegregatedinto denominationalgroups" (S.M.H.,Sept.25,1956).

Onthatprinciple,he oughttoprotestagainsteffortstointroduceProtestant denominationaldifferences intoSpain.Thereisone furtherpointtobekeptin mind.Catholics,naturally, believingintheinfallible truthoftheCatholicChurch, objecttothepropagationof ProtestanterrorsinSpain.

Protestantsnotbelieving intheinfallibletruthof Protestantism,asyouadmit candidlythatyouyourself donot,havenoparticular reasonforwantingtoimposeProtestantismonpeople whoarealreadyprofessing ChristiansasCatholics.

Q.:Yourstatementthat,to promoteBiblereadingin SpainaProtestantorganisationshouldimportCatholicBiblesistoochildish tobeevenludicrous.

PersonalFailureOfChristians

DoesNotSpellRuinOfChurch

"Freelance,"Killara:Contrarytoyour claimthattheChurchasChristestablished itcouldneverfail,therearemanyindicationsintheNewTestamentthatsuchpure teachingwouldnotcontinueandthatthe Churchwouldsufferdefeatinconsequence.

R.:TherearemanyindicationsthatnumbersofindividualChristianswould notcontinueinthepure teachingsofChristandof theApostles.

ThusSt.Peterspeaksof the"unlearnedandtheunstable"whowresttheScrip-. tures"totheirowndestruction"(IIPet.3:16).St.Paul speaksofsuchpeopleas havingmade"shipwreckof thefaith"(ITim.1:19).

Butthisdoesnotmean thattheChurchitselfwould failalso.Itcouldnot.Christ Himselfhadsaid:"Thegates ofhellshallnotprevail againstit"(Matt.16:18).In theveryEpistleinwhichSt. Paulspokeofpeoplemaking"shipwreckofthefaith" forthemselvespersonally, hewrotethatthe"Church ofthelivingGod"isthe "pillarandgroundoftruth" (ITim.,3:15).

St.Johnalsowrote:"We areofGod.HethatknowethGod,hearethus.He thatisnotofGod,heareth usnot.Bytthisweknow thespiritoftruth,andthe spiritoferror"(IJohn4:6).

Inotherwords,theinfallibleandauthoritative teachingoftheApostlesand oftheChurchfoundedupon themisthetestoftruth.

Andsoitwillbe,accordingtothepromiseofChrist, "allthedayseventillthe endoftheworld"(Matt. 28:20).

Q.,ITim.4:1-4,foretells thatsameshalldepart fromthefaith,andspecifieshow:"Forbiddingto marryandcommandingto abstainfrommeats."

R.:TheCatholicChurch doesnotforbidCatholicsto marry.Catholicmarriages, withherblessingupon them,areregularoccurrences.Youhavemisunderstoodthetext.St.Paul iscondemningthosewhc declaredallmarriageevil, forbiddingmarriagealtolgethser. Asforcommandingto abstainfrommeats,St. Paulwasreferringtothose whoweretryingtoenforce theJewishobservanceofthe distinctionbetweenthe cleananduncleanmeatsaccordingtotheOldLaw.

Thushewrotetothe Colossians:"Letnoman thereforejudgeyouinmeat orindrink"(Col.2:16).

TheCatholicChurchhas neveracknowledgedthat Jewishfoodlawsarestill binding.

Q.:TheCatholicChurchis theonlymajorChristian denominationtodaywhich forbidslargenumbersof itspeopletomarry,and commandsweeklyand seasonalfasts.

R.:TheCatholicChurch doesnotforbidlargenumbersofherpeopletomarry. Shecertainlyteachesthat thosewhowish,orwhofeel calledtoitbyGod,arefree tochoosenottomarry ratherthantomarry.

Thisisinaccordancewith theteachingofChristWho, whentheApostlessuggestedthatitwasnotexpedienttomarry,repliedthat notallwillchoosetorefrain frommarriage,butthoseto -whomitisgiventomake suchachoiceforthesake of"thekingdomofheaven" (Matt.,19:10-12).

SuchalsowastheteachingofSt.Paul.Hewasunmirried,andsaid."Iwould thatallwereevenasmyself; buteveryonehathhispropergiftfromGod."He wentontosaythatitwas goodtoremainunmarried, thatiswithoutawifeis solicitousforthethingsthat belongtotheLord,howhe maypleaseGod andthe unmarriedwomanandthe virginthinkethonthethings oftheLord,thatshemay beholybothinbodyandin spirit"(ICor.,7:7-8;32-34).

Themotive,ofcourse,isa spiritualone;or,asChrist said,forthesakeof"the kingdomofheaven."

Asfortheregularpracticesoffasting,theCatholic Churchissurelynottobe blamedforthusfulfilling Christ'sownpredictionconcerningHisfollowersthat, afterHisdeparturefrom thisworld,"thentheyshall fastinthosedays"(Mark 2:20).

WhenSt.Paulurgedthe Colossians:"Mortifythereforeyourmembers"(Col. 3:5),andsaidofhimself:"I chastisemybodyandbring itintosubjection"(ICor. 9,27),hewasspeakingof self-denial,oneformof whichisbyfasting.

Itisabsurdtoconfuse suchapracticeofChristian asceticismwiththeefforts tore-introducetheJewish distinctionbetweenclean anduncleanmeatswhichSt. Paulcondemned.

Asanefforttoprovethat theCatholicChurchhasfallenintoerrorandapostasy fromChristsucharguments areworthless.

WhenCatholicismBecomes AnUnmentionableIssue

Reluctancetoadmittheexistenceofprejudiceand discriminationtowardminoritieshasbeentypicalof intergrouprelationsintheUnitedStates.People almostinvariablybeginbydenyingtheyhaveany suchproblemandendbyunconsciouslyairingtheir prejudicestowardaracial,ethnic,orreligiousgroup.

Today,however,asaresultofresearch,popular books,pictures,andstoriesinthedailypressabout discriminationtowardNegroesandJews,itbecomes absurdtodenysuchproblems.Inanationsokeenly awareofminoritygroups'problemsandgenerallyso eagertoremedythem,itisamazingthathostility towardonegrouphasprettymuchgoneunnoticed. Howcanoneexplainthefactthatanti-Catholicism remainstheunmentionableprobleminAmerican grouprelation?

Duringthepastsummer,aCatholicsocialscientist wasinvitedtoadressaninstituteonintergrouprelations.Whenheproposedasa-topicProtestantCatholicrelations,therewassomehesitation.Was thisreallyaproblem?Diditmeritequalairingwith anti-Negroandanti-Semiticproblems?Finally,it wasagreedthatitdid.

Theaudiencewascomposedmainlyofpublic schoolteachers,intelligent,well-informed,andwelldisposedindividualswhowerestronglyopposedto prejudiceanddiscriminationtowardminorities.The Catholicattidudesinnineteenth-centuryAmerica. speakerdiscussedtheoriginanddevelopmentofantiThemeetingwasthenthrownopenforquestions.

Thequestionsaskedbythoseparticipatinginthe institutewererevealingandtosomeperhapsamazing.Someofthosepresentweresointentupon criticisingCatholicismthattheyeitherdidnothear orchosetoignorethecontentofthetalk.

Ayoungladywhohadappearedtobelistening attentivelythroughoutthespeechimmediatelydemanded,"Whyareyouinfavourofaidtoparochial schools?"Thespeakerpointedoutthathehadsaid nothingatallonthisscore.Whythendidtheyoung ladyaskit?Sheaskedit'becausethisaspectof intergrouprelationswasintheforefrontofher mind.

Shewasprimedtoaskthethisquestion,tocriticiseandtoattackCatholicsonthisissueasshe eventuallydid.Hermindwassosetonthisthatshe imaginedsheheardwhathadn'tevenbeensaid. Thisisaconditionnotuncommonamongthosewith prejudice.

Amaturewomaninthegroupthenasked,"Why istheCatholicChurchsoproudandarrogantasto claimitistheoneandonlytrueChurch?"Again, thespeakerwasforcedtostatethathehadmentionednothingonthispoint.Heindicatedthathe wastheretodiscussthesocialogical,notthetheological,aspectsofinter-religiousrelations.Heagreed however,toofferananalogy.

Heexplainedthatthelightsintheroomwere connected.Ifhesaidtheywereoffandthelady saidtheywereon,oneofthemwasrightandone waswrong.Sinceteachingsofsomechurchesare diametricallyopposedontheologicalmatters,both cannotberight.

"Notatall,"shoutedanelderlylady."Ifmost peopleinthisroomsaythelightsareon,eventhough theyareoff,thentheyarereallyon."Thiskind ofsubjectivitywastoomuchformostoftheaudience, buttheyseemedtoagreethatthistypeofanalogy hadnothingtodowiththematterathand.

Leadersoftheinstitutewereshockedandamazed attheseandsimilarquestionsdirectedtothespeaker. Theyreluctantlyconcludedthattheirgroupdid sufferfromacertainamountofanti-Catholicism, whichithadperhapsunwittinglyexposed.One askedthegrouptoexplainwhyquestionswere phrasedinthisstyle.

SOMEQUESTIONSARELOADED

Forinstance,toaskthespeakerwhytheCatholic Churchissoproudandarrogantastoclaimitisthe oneandonlytrueChurchisaloadedquestion.As aCatholic,hedidbelievehisChurchwastheone andonlytrueChurch.Yetinadmittingthishe mightappeartobegrantingatthesametimethat itwasproudandarrogant.Prejudicehadphrased thisquestion.

theNegroproblemintheircommunity. anddiscriminationaretobereducedoreliminated, thenalltypesofthemmustbecombated.

Theyarelikeacancerinthesocialbody.Ifthey aremerelycheckedatonepoint,theyimmediately threatenanotherpart.Onthebasisofevenpurely personalandselfishreasons,allAmericansshould beconcernedaboutanti-Catholicism.

Whyaren'tthey?Anti-Catholicismisatermrequiringsomeinterpretation.Itsobviousmeaning wouldbeprejudiceanddiscriminationtowardCatholicsonthebasisoftheirreligion.Suchattitudes andbehaviors,however,wouldviolatethetenetsof democracysoreputedlyandassiduouslypropagated bytheverypersonswhoattackCatholicism.Hence amodusvivendiisessential.

Againandagainwritersandspokesmenofthis typemaketwocarelessdistinctions.First,they claimtheyarenotopposedtoCatholicsatall,but rathertotheAmericanCatholichierarchyandsome ofthoseteachingsoftheCatholicChurchwithhave theirdirectimpactonsociallife.Second,theyalso claimthatsuchopposition,farfrombeingundemocratic,isbasedexclusivelyupontheirdesiretopreservedemocracyintheUnitedStates.

Onthebasisofsuchspeciouslogic,theseopponentsceasetobebigotsandbecomepatriots,atleast intheirownmindsandthemindsoftoomanyAmericans.Theabsurdityoftheirpositioncanbeclearly indicated.

WhenagreatdealofProtestantAmerica,under theleadershipofitsclergy,supportedandsucceeded inpassingtheprohibitionlaw,itwasconsidereda typicaldemonstrationofdemocracyinaction;the willofthemajorityhadprevailed.WhenCatholics incertainstates,inconformitywiththenaturallaw andtheteachingsoftheirChurch,vtitedagainst publicdisseminationofartificialcontraceptivein formation,itwasconsideredundemocratic,totalitarian,repressive,andtheresultofclericaldictatorship.

ThelegislationoftheCatholicChurchonmixed religiousmarriageisinvariablycitedasaviolation ofdemocraticprinciples.YetOrthodoxJewsabsolutelyforbidmixedreligiousmarriage.Nodispensationsarepossible-asinthecaseofCatholics. NoOrthodoxrabbiwouldperformsuchamarriage, andinthepastatleast,theserviceofthedeadwas readbyhisfamilyforasonwhomarriedanonJew.

WHYTHEUNMENTIONABILITY?

SomeofthesmallerProtestantsectsautomatically excommunicateamemberwhomarriesoutsidehis religion.SomeofthelargerProtestantdenominationshaverecentlydecriedmixedreligiousmarriages. Somehoworother,suchactionsonthepartofnonCatholicsareeithernotthoughtof,orcertainlynot cited,asundemocratic.Theyapparentlybecomeso onlywhentheCatholicChurchisinvolved.

Theveryessenceofdemocracyisextensionofthe samerightsandprivilegestoallAmericancitizens regardlessofrace,nationalorigin,orreligion.Under suchcircumstances,Protestantministersandliaty mayindeedopposethesaleofalcoholicbeverages, OrthodoxJewsmaylikewiseforbidmixedreligious marriage.

Quitelogicallyandrightfully,then,Catholicsmay opposepublicdisseminationofbirthcontrolinfotmatonandrequiredispensationsandprenuptialagreementsformixedreligiousmarriage.Thatis,of course,ifdemocraticprinciplesaretoprevail.

Herethenisthebasicreasonwhyanti-Catholicism theunmentionableprobleminAmericangroup relations.Toadmitexistence,exceptinthemost flagrantandviolentincidents,wouldupsetordestroythesmugnessofcertain"liberals"whoarethe outstandingantagonistsofCatholicism,andwhoat thesametimeconsiderthemselvesthegreatestbulwarkofdemocracyinAmericaexceptforthepublic school.
