Fromthispositionofprestigeandinfluencethe Movementplannedtohaveitspositive,Christianpoliciesconsidered,and,ifpossible,implementedinthe civicarena.Successhasitsrisksininfantorganisations,particularlyanorganisationunfamiliarwiththe back-roommanoeuvresandchangingloyaltiesofthe politicalarena.Therewasariskofimprudentand prematureaction.Thentheordealcame-purification andcase-hardeninginthefireofbitteropposition fromwithout,andsharpcriticismfromwithinthe Church.

TheCatholicSocialMovementwassmearedassectarian,fascist,totalitarian,sinisterandunderhand. Theelaborateanti-Communistmachinerywasdismantledandsoonalltheheroicworkofthefirstyears wasundone.Communistofficialsweresoonbackin theiroldpositions.Disappointing,yes;butlooking backnow,itseemsprovidential.

TheC.S.M.wasforcedtotakestockofitsposition. IthasnowspreadtoeveryStateintheCommonwealthanditsmembershipcontinuestogrowrapidly. Simultaneouslytherewasseverecriticismofthe

So,too,withtheCatholicSocialMovement.Itneed notscandaliseusthatanorganisationlivingso dangerouslywouldcauseconcerninmanyquarters. ManyfeltthattheChurchwasbecomingdirectly involvedinthepoliticalandindustrialfield.Others feltthatsuchactivitywouldcauseunfavourable reactionsfrompoliticalleadersanddelayStateaidfor Catholicschools.Othersagainobjectedthatanorganisationofthiskindcouldplaceanunnecessarystrain onthefaithofCatholicfamilieswithstronglytraditionalpoliticalloyalties.

Couldyougivemesomefullerinformation,andtheir reasonsforthechange?

R.:Bookshavebeenwrittenonthissubject;but,althoughItried,Iwasunable toobtainoneforyouin Sydney.Icannotdomore herethangiveyouabrief outlineofthefacts.

AnAnglicannamedBenjaminCarlylegottheidea, about1893,ofestablishing aReligiousOrderinthe ChurchofEnglandbased upontheBenedictineRule. HevisitedvariousCatholicBenedictinemonasteries tostudytheirwayoflife, andin1896,withtheapprovalofArchbishopBenson,ofCanterbury,founded anAnglicanCommunity.

However,themembers followedCatholicBenedictinessoclosely,wearingthe samestyleofdress,and celebratingtheCommunion ServiceinLatinaswellas chantingtheDivineOffice inLatin,thatBishopGore, ofOxford,toldthemthe ChurchofEnglandcould notauthorisesuchpractices; andthatiftheywanted Anglicanrecognition,they mustgetbacktousingthe EnglishBookofCommon Prayer.

Atthetimeofthechange,

in1913,LordHalifax,leaderoftheAnglo-Catholics, blamedBishopGore,ofOxford,fordrivingtheCaldey Communityoutofthe ChurchofEnglandbyhis over-exactingdemands;but itisverydifficulttoseehow elseBishopGorecouldhave actedunderthecircumstances.

TheCaldeyAnglican monksarguedthatthe ChurchofEnglandclaims tobeCatholic,thatthe BenedictineRuletheywere followinghadhadCatholic authorityforover1,000 years,andthattheywere entitledtofollowit.

ButBishopGorewould not,andcouldnotadmit thevalidityofsuchanargument.Fortheauthorityin religiousmattersacknowledgedinEnglandinprereformationCatholictimes wasnolongeradmittedby theAnglicanChurch,and hadnotatanytimebeen admittedsincetheElizabethanrepudiationofthe Papalsupremacyatthetime oftheProtestantreformation.
