ChristGavePowerToPardon

J.Cromarty,Kyogle:Inansweringthis, dousemyname,asIamnotashamedof quotingChrist'swards.WereIashamedof Him,Hewouldbeashamedofmeonmy dayofjudgment.

R.:Icommendyourspirit ofloyaltytothePersonof Christ.Inthatregard,I couldhaveonlyonewish foryou-thatyoumaykeep itandintensifyit.

ButtoquoteChrist's words,readingintothema meaningHeneverintended, owingtothePresbyterian traditionwhichhascoloured youroutlookontheChristianreligion,isprofitless. Youdothis,ofcourse,in quitegoodfaith.

Buteventhoughthere maybenoquestionofa man'ssincerity,theproblemcanremainasto whetherornotheismistakeninhisideas.Itis withthatproblemonlythat Iintendtodeal.

Q.:Thepriest'spositionas r forgiverofsinsistaken away'bythefollowing textsofScripture,andby manyothers.

R.:Thatcannotbe;forin spiteofthetextsyouquote, wefindChristHimselfdeliberatelyconferringon speciallychosenmenthe power,justasHeHimself hadexercisedthepower.

Andshouldyousucceed, ofcourse,youwillhave succeededinprovingChrist guiltyofblasphemywhen HesaidtoHisApostles: "Whosesinsyoushallforgive,theyareforgiven them."Thatthoughtat leastshouldmakeyougo carefully.

Q.:Jesussaid:"Iamthe Way,theTruth,andthe Life.Nomancomethunto theFatherbutbyMe." Jn.14:6.

R.:Catholicsarewell awareofthosewords,and fullybelieveinthem.Believinginthem,theylook toHimfordirectionsasto whatreligiousdutiesthey mustfulfil.

AndHemadeclearHis intentionofdispensingHis forgivenessinHisChurch throughtheministryof thoseuponwhomHeconferredthepowertoforgive sinsinHisname.

Q.:Lk.24:47says:"Repentanceandremissionof sinsshouldbepreached inHis nations."nameamongall

R.:TheCatholicChurchis doingthatamongall nations.Butthewordsyou quotedon'ttouchthefurtherquestionastowhether theremissionofsinstobe preachedistobeadministeredbythosemenwho haveinheritedthepower givenbyChristwhenHe said:"Whosesinsyoushall forgive,theyareforgiven them."Catholicssayyes.

YourPresbyterianChurch by-passesthosewordsand treatsthemasiftheydid notexist.

WhatChristDirected

Q.:Acts10:43says:"ToHim allthephophetsgivetestimony,thatbyHisname allreceiveremissionof sins,whobelieveInHim."

Ft.:Ifonereallybelieves inChristinsteadofmerely sayingthathedoes,heis preparedtodowhatChrist hasprescribed.

Catholicsdoso,andthe remissionofsinstheyobtainbymeansoftheSacramentofConfessionisinthe nameofChristandbythe powerandauthorityof ChristwhoexercisesHis mercybymeansofthat priesthoodinHisChurchto whichHiswords*apply: "Whosesinsyoushallforgive,theyareforgiven them."

Christ'sChurch

EstablishedFor EveryNation

Convert,W.A.:Ididnot feelthatIcouldhesitate, chaseeveryscruple,and possiblywaittillIwas40 or50tobequitesure Iwasdoingtheright thing.

R.:OurLordneverintendedtoleavepeopleto puzzleouteveryconceivableaspectofreligionfor themselves.

Heestablished,commissionedandguaranteedHis Church,saying:"Go,teach allnations."ThatChurch istheCatholicChurch.

Onceoneisconvincedof thisfact,heissurethathe isdoingtherightthingin becomingaCatholic.He makesageneralactoffaith: "IbelieveintheHoly CatholicChurchandinall shebelievesandteaches."

Thatwasnecessary,for sinceGodalonecanforgive sin,theyhadtobegiven thepowerofGodtoactin Hisnameforsuchapurpose.

ThenChristsaidtothem: "Whosesinsyoushallforgive,theyareforgiven them."Howeverelsethe textsyouquotearetobe interpreted,theycannot rightlybeinterpretedin suchawayastorobthis actionandthesewordsof Christofallmeaning,and makeHimcontradictHimself!

Q.:St.Luke5:21reads:

"Whocanforgivesinsbut

Godalone?"

R.:ThePhariseesurged thatasanobjectionagainst Christfordaringtoforgive sins.Theydidnotbelieve thatsuchapowercouldbe communicatedtoandexercisedthroughanycreated humanity.

Thesickmanwhosesins Rehadforgiven,therefore, Christmiraculouslyhealed beforetheirveryeyes.By thataction,ofcourse,He provedthetruthofHisown claimstobeGod.

ButasHeexercisedHis divinepowertoforgivesins throughHisowncreated humanity,soHemadeprovisionforexercisingit throughtheinstrumentality ofthehumanpriesthoodin HisChurch.

Nothingisgainedbysaying:"Godalonecanforgive sins."Thatwealladmit. Whatyouhavetoprove,if youwanttorefutethe Catholicposition,isthat GodHimselfcannotexerciseHisownpowerofforgivingsinsthroughany appointedhumanagencies. Youwillfindthatnosmall task.

1.Warnedagainsta"blindfascinationforprogress," cautioningthattechnologybyitselfmayimprison man"withinitsownlimitations."

2.EmphasisedthatarejectionofChristinsociety means"theirondisciplineofcollectivism,"entailing the"anonymousexistenceofonegroupalongsidethat oftheother."

3.RemindedthatCatholicsshouldworkwithall menofgoodwilltobringabout"divineharmony"in theworld.

4.WarnedthatcommonChristianactioninapluralisticsocietymaynotdegenerateinto"anexclusively'human'plan"ifthismeans"agnosticismwith regardtoreligionandthetruevaluesoflife."

5.DefendedtheexistenceofstrictlyCatholicorganisationsasnecessaryforthetrainingofleadersin thoroughlyChristianprinciples.
