HowTheFaithMayBeLost

"HonourAmongMen,"Manly:havejust read"IWasaMonk,"byJohnTettemer who,after25yearsasapriestofthePassionistOrder,lefttheOrderandalsoaban'clonedtheCatholicFaith.

R.:JohnTettemer,who asapriestwasknownas FatherIldefonso,lapsed fromtheChurchabout40 yearsago,in1918. Hedidnotjoinanyother Church,butprofessedtobe acompleteagnostic.He diedin1949,withoutany signsofhavingrecovered hisChristianfaith.

Q.:Ashislifeseemsto havebeenexemplary, howcouldGodallowsuch afaithfulservantnotonly tolosehisvocation,but alsotheFaith?

R.:Godneverdesertsany man,unlessthatmanfirst desertsHim.Buthaving bestowedonmanthegiftof freewill,Hewillnottake itback.Andifamandeliberatelyneglectstotake themeanstopreservehis faith,hedeservestoloseit.

Q.:WasJohnTettemerjus-tifiedinleavingthe Church?

R.:Hecertainlyhadno excuseforhavingarrivedat astateofmindwhenhe "thought"heoughttoleave.

Q.:Hesayshewaslaterreleasedfromhisvowsand membershipofthePassionistOrder.

R.:Hehimselfappliedto Romeforadispensation fromhisvowsasamember ofhisReligiousOrder,and receivedit.Butthiscasts doubtonhisownprofessionofsincerityinhisunbelief.

Ifhehadindeedlostthe faith,hewouldnolonger believethathisvowswere binding,butwouldregard themasmeaningless;nor wouldhebelievethatRome hadpowerorauthorityto dispensefromanything,and hewouldnothavebothered applyingforaworthless document.

Q.:leaveWouldthedispensation himfreetomarry, ashesubsequentlydid?

R.:No.Thedispensation merelyreleasedhimfrom membershipofhisReligious Order.Itdidnotrelease himfromtheobligationof celibacy,bindingallwho havebeenordainedas priestsintheWestern Church.

Q.:Inoticethat,inSt. Paul'sandSt.Peter'sGospelofLovethereis'no brandofreligion.

R.:Inthatcase,youhave noticedwhatisnotthereto benoticed.SoverydefinitewasthebrandofreligionpreachedbySt.Paul thathewrotetotheGalatians:"Thoughanangel fromheavenpreachagospeltoyouotherthanthat whichwehavepreachedto you,lethimbeaccursed." (Gal.1:8).

St.Peterwrote:"Beready alwaystosatisfyeveryone thataskethyouareasonof thathopewhichisinyou" (IPet.3:15);i.e.,areason forthebrandofreligionyou profess.Hegoesontoask: "Whatshallbetheendof themthatbelievenotthe gospelofGod?" Thatis,ofthemthat knowinglyandwilfullypre- fersomeotherbrandofreligion,ornoreligion.In hissecondEpistle,St.Peter warnshisreadersagainst wrestingtheScriptures"to theirowndestruction."(2 Pet.3:16). Hiswarningwasagainst losingtherightbrandofreligionandsubstitutinga wrongbrandofreligionfor itbyprivatemisinterpreta-tionofScripturethroughone'sownprideandstupid- ity. Q.:Rightlytheytaughtno brandofreligion,for thereisno"imprimatur"

Andhewroteofhimself: "1havekeptthefaith.As totherest,thereislaidup formeacrownofjusticewhichtheLord,thejust Judge,willrendertomein thatday;andnotonlyto me,buttothemalsothat loveHiscoming."(2Tim. 4:1-3,8).

SoTimothyhadtopreach therightbrandofreligion againstunsounddoctrine. St. thePaulhimselfhad"kept faith,"andhisfidelity totherightbrandofreligionearnedforhimthe crownofjusticewhichthe justJudgewouldgivehim.

St.Peter,writingfromRometotheseniorpriests ofPontus,Galatia,Cappadocia,AsiaandBythinia, commandedthem:"Feedthe flockofGodwhichisamong you,takingcareofit andwhentheprinceofpastorsshallappear,youshall receiveanever-fading crownofglory."(I.Pet. 5:2,4).

Hisinjunctiontothemto "feedtheflock,takingcare ofit"meantbyteachingthe flocktherightbrandofreligionandprotectingit againstthecorruptionof .v-nogbrandsofreligion. Fidelitytothisdutywould earnforthema"neverfadingcrownofglory."

SpainHasTriedHardToGet PapalSocialTeachingWorking

WithregardtotheChurch'spartinsocial actionandreform,wemustconsiderthe questionfromtwopointsofview:what theoreticalapproachhastheChurchit Spaintakentowardtheissue,andhowhas thistheorybeenapplied?

TheChurchinSpainhasrepeatedlyandforcefully recalledthetraditionalteachingofthePopes.

Recentlyareaffirmationofthisdoctrinewasput forthbytheSpanishBishopsintheirjointpastoralof September,1956.

InordertoappreciatethespiritofclarityandfreedomwithwhichtheBishopsspoke,itwillbewellto examinesomepassagesfromtheirstatement:

"Whenasociety,asageneralandpermanentrule, excludiesworkersfromsharinginmutualbenefits, andtheseareaccumulatedbycapital-suchasociety, consideredinthismostseriousway,isnotconstituted inaChristianway

WithreferencetothecorporativesysteminSpain, theSpanishBishops,citingthedoctrinescontainedin RerumNovarumandQuadragesimoAnno,recommend thatanydisputesbesettledwithintrade-unionsand professionalguilds.

Thefollowingarticlewaswrittenby BishopAngelHerreraOriaofMalaga, Spain,veteranjournalistanddistinguishedleaderinSpanishsocialwork.

Theyurgethatbothmanagementandlabourhave anauthenticrepresentationintheseorganisations. TheState,furthermore,hasarighttoadistinctive roleintheseorganisations,asrepresentativeofthe commongood,without,however,deterringthefree activityofmanagementandlabour.

TheBishopshadthistosayonthepoint,speaking intheirjointpastoral:

"Itwouldseemreasonableandpropertoreservethe solutionof(labour)disputestoprofessionalorganisa-tionsinwhichbothlabourandmanagementarerepre- seated,andthroughwhichtheywillfindthejuridical basistoobtaintheirrightsandtrytomediatetheir opposedinterestspeaceably.Theinterventionofthe Statemaybenecessary,notonlyasrepresentativeof thecommonwelfarewhichisabovebothmanagement andlabour,butalsoasarbiterofthedispute.The Statecannotbeasubstituteforthefreeactivityof eitherparty,butmustlimititselftoanecessaryand sufficientassistanceoraid.Thisisnothingmorethan theteachingofQuadragesimoAnno."

ThejointpastoraloftheBishopscontinues,bycitingthepapalteachingconcerningprofit-sharing:

"TheChurchlooksfavourablyupon,andevenencourages,allthatwhichwouldtendtointroduce elementsofthesocialcontractintothelabourcontract andwhichwouldconsequentlyimprovethegeneral conditionoftheworker."

TheBishopsfurtherrecommendanequitabledistri- butionofthenationalincome:

"Ifworkersandemployeesdonotreceiveasuffi- cientsalarybyaddingtotheirincomeashareinprofits itthenbecomestheobligationoftheState.according toitssupplementaryfunction,tocorrectabusesinthis matterand,bymeansofappropriatelegislation,to grantpartofthenationalwealthtothoseclassesnd individulsmostinneed."
