BureaucracyineverycountryoftheWesternworld,andin manyEasterncountriestoo,wasanaturaldevelopmentinahighlycomplicatedsociety.ThiswassaidbytheRev.W.J.Smith, S.J.,attherecentCatholicSummerSchool.
Whensocietiesgottoa certainstageoftheirevolution,tothestagethatthey hadreachednow,theyinevitablyhadthegrowthof bureaucracy.
Itwasnecessarytoprotectcitizens'interestsin manyways,tobring smoothnessinGovernment, toknowinadvancewhat thegovernmentalprocesses wouldbe.
Withabureaucracycitizensdidnothavetodepend somuchonthewhimsof individualstogetcertain rightsforthemselvesthat, forinstance,wasdoneaccordingto.asetformulaby aMinistryforHealthora MinistryofLabour.
Thedevelopment of bureaucracywasnotwithoutconsiderabledanger.It coulddotoomuch;thecitizencouldbecomecompletelyapathetic,,nottakingan interestintheaffairsofhis country,justlettinghimselfbetreatedasanobject oftheGovernment's benevolentsection.

TheStatedefinitelyhad arighttodocertainthings. TheStatehadanecessary function;theyhadtohave bureaucracy,Government Departmentsandsoon.
Butneverthelessthey mustnotletthatinterfere withthefirstdutyofman, hisobligationtomakehimselflikeGodbybeingactive,bymakinghisowndecisionsasfaras,andasfrequentlyashecould.
Askedabouttherightsof theStateinresumingprivately-ownedlandfor housingprojects,Father Smithsaidthatdefinitely itwastherightofthe Statetolookafterthecommongoodofthepeople. ThereforetheStatehada righttotakeoverland wherethatwasnecessary.
Hemustgetaround,meet peoplewhothoughtlike!Butshouldthatbethe

Sometimestherewasa definiteemergency,and somethinghadtobedone quickly.ThentheStatehad toactimmediately.Butin thenormalrunofaffairs, thatemergencywayofactionshouldnotbethegeneralrule.Thegeneralrule shouldbe:"Howcanwecooperatewithprivategroups aridindividuals,putthese problemstothem,andget themacting"
Inastudyofthatsortof question,thatwculdbethe principlethatshouldcome upinthediscussion,and thatshouldbethesortof solutionthatenewould hopetoarriveat.
Ifthethingwasurgent andtherewasnootherway ofdoingit,thentheState hadadutytoact,totake overland.
Ontheotherhand,ifthe positionwasnotsourgent, andthethingcouldbedone inawaythatbroughtalot ofpeopleinandmadethem dothingsforotherpeople, thenthatwasthebetter way.
InaplacelikeAustralia wherefrequentlythesitua-
tionwasnoturgent,they shouldtrytogetfixedright intotheirmindstheprincipleofsubsidiarity.
Theprincipleinsistedthat ifasmallergroupcoulddo anyjobreasonablywell, theyshould,andbigger groups,suchasGovernments,shouldkeepoutof thesituation.
Whatitcamedownto fundamentallywasthemore powerfulbodiesweretoregardthemselvesasasort ofhelpinneed.Theword "subsidiarity"camefroma Latinword"subsidium" whichmeanthelp. IntheRomanArmy,for instance,therewasagroup ofordinarytroops,and,in reserve,abodyoffirst-class troops.Theselatter,the subsidiary,orsupporting troops,wereusedonlyifit wasnecessary.
Iftheordinarytroops werewinning,thenyoulet themdoit,andthesupportingtroopscouldbe savedforanothertime.If theordinarytroopsjust couldnotmanageit,then youbroughtintheexperts. Thatwaswhattheywere for.Theyweresubsidium-ahelp.
AGovernmentwassupposedtobeahelp.Itwas nottheretodoallthejobs, andtheyshouldbebetteroff iftheysaidtotheGovernment:"Whatwecandowe shalldo,andyoustay exactlywhereyouare."

Buteveniftheevolution ofman'sbodyfromlower animalswereanestablished fact,itwouldnotfollowthat Godgavespiritualandintelligentsoulsinthebeginningtomorethantwofirst humanbeings.
InhisEncyclicalLetter, "HumaniGeneris,"1950, PopePiusXII.declaredthat althoughthequestionofthe evolutionofman'sbodyis anopenone,Christiansare boundbydivinerevelation toholdthatalllaterhuman beingsaredescendantsfrom Adam,thefirstofthe humanspecies.
TheNewTestamenttells usthatbyonemansinenteredintotheworldand thatinhimallhumanbeingslapsedfromgrace.We areall,therefore,children ofaguiltyrace,needingredemption,owingtothe originalsinofafirstparent.
Scientifically,thegeneral weightofopinionamong anthropologistsagrees.Thus inarecentarticleon"EvolutionandAntiquityOf Man,"I.W.Cornwall writes:

C.B.,Bullaburra:What didSt.Paulmeanbyspeakingof"fillingupwhatis wantingtothesufferingsof Christ?"SurelyChrist's sacrificeontheCrosswasa perfectoblation,andnothing wecandocouldaddtoit.
II.:Thewordsyouquote arefromColossians,1:24. St.Paulhimselfimmediatelygivesthekeytotheir meaningbyadding:"for Hisbody,whichisthe Church."
Thepassagecannotbe understoodbythosewho thinkofChristianityin termsofanisolatedindividualism,asifallthat mattersisthepurelyprivate andpersonalrelationshipof eachsoulwithGod.
TheCatholicandtruedoctrineisthatbybaptismwe becomemembersofChrist. IfHeistheHeadandwe Hismembers,thenasunitedintheChurchweform Hisbody.
"Nemo,"Pitt-street:Ridiculingtherecentdecreeof thePopeforCatholicsconcerningthedutyoffasting beforereceivingHolyCommunion,theofficialAnglieqnpaper,"TheAustralian ChurchRecord"said:"The Bibleanticipatedthissort oferror,andhaswarned usagainstit."
R.:Nosortoferrorisinvolvedinthismatter;and itisquiteevidentthatthe Anglican"ChurchRecord" hasn'taclueastowhatthe Bibleanticipated.
Twothings,amongmuch else,theBibledidnotanticipate.Firstly,thatthe CatholicChurchwould legislatewithdivineauthorityinreligiousmatters,inheritingthecommissionof Christ:"Whatsoeveryou shallbindonearthshallbe boundalsoinheaven." (Matt.18:18).
Secondly,thatany,inthe nameofprivatejudgment, would"wrestScriptureto theirowndestruction."2 Pet.3:16.
Q.:"TheKingdomofGod," quotesthe"ChurchRecord,""isnoteatingand drinking,butrighteousness,peaceandJoyinthe HolySpirit."(Rom.14: 17.)"
R.:Thattexthasnoreferencewhatevertothe questionofabstainingfrom foodanddrinkbeforereceivingHolyCommunion. ThereweresomeChristianconvertsatRomewho were vegetarians,and thoughtitwrongtoeat meat.St.Paultoldthebetter-instructedChristiansat Rometodowithoutmeat whendiningwiththemand becontentwithotherfood, ratherthanshockthem.
Hecommendedthisasan actofcharity,sayingthat selishlyindulgingone'sappetiteinthiskindoffood orthatisnowaytopromotetheinterestsofthe kingdomofGodinwhich themainthingtoseekis righteousness,peaceand joy. Butwhatonearthhas thattodowiththelawof abstainingfromanykindof foodordrinkasapreparationforreceivingHoly ion?Thecases thepartrequiredofHimasCommun HeadofHisChurchbyHishaveabsolutelynothingin sacrificeontheCross;butcommon.Onewouldexpect associatedwiththatsacri-betteroftheAnglican ficeareHissufferingsin;"ChurchRecord"thanthat.

Newcastle:Theusualreplyto theproblemofunansweredprayeristhat Godgivesuswhatisbestforus.
R.:Thatexplanationit quitesound.Inreality thereisnosuchthingas unansweredprayer.What peoplemeanbyunanswered prayerisprayernotansweredpreciselyatthetime andinthewaytheywish.
ButGodneverpromised thatourprayerswillbe answeredimmediately. Againandagainwearetold intheNewTestamentto persevereinprayer,topray withoutceasing. NordidGodintendprayer tobeameansofgetting anthingwemayhappento want.St.Jamesrightlysaid:"Youask,andyoureceivenot,becauseyouask amiss."(Ja.4:3).

Butbecausewemeant wellwhenwedidpray,He willcertainlygrantuspro-portionateblessingswhich willbebeneficialtous.
Q.:ThatisnotwhatOur Lordsaid.
ifblankchequetobepaid indemand,andwhichthey :ouldfillinforanything .heypleased.Thatwould mean genuinesuperstition,not religion.
Q.:OurLordsaid:"Ifyou asktheFatheranything inmynameHewillgive ittoyou."
R.:Thosewordsoccurin Jn.16:23.Togettheirright meaningonemustconsider thecontextofwhichthey formapart.
OurLordhadjustspoken ofHisdeathandresurrection.HepointedouttoHis Apostlesthathithertothey hadaskedHimmanyques-tionsaboutHisteachingsandconsultedHim.
Buttheyhadnever thoughtofprayingtoHim, orthroughHimastheir MediatorwiththeFather.
"Hitherto,"Hesaidtothem, "youhavenotaskedany- thinginmyname."
Theywere,ofcourse,men ofprayer,butratherasdevoutJews,notpreciselyas disciplesofChrist,checking theirdesiresbyreference tothemindoftheirMaster.
WhenHesaidtothem thathenceforththingswould bedifferent,declaring:"If youasktheFatheranything inmynameHewillgive ittoyou,"theimportant wordswere"inmyname," thatis,asHisrepresentativesactinginHisnameand prayingasHewouldpray wereHeintheirplace.
ThatChristregardsthe sufferingsofHismembers asHisownsufferingsisevidentfromHiscomplaintto St.Paul,whobeforehis conversion,was going toDamascustopersecute theChurchthere:"Saul. Saul,whypersecutestthou Me?"(Acts.9:4).
Briefly,then,nothingwe candoasisolatedindividualscouldfillupanythingwantingtothesufferingsofChrist.
ThelifeoftheChurchis therefore,acontinuationof thelifeofChristintime; andeachmemberofthe Church,insofarashekeeps unitedwithChristbya stateofgrace,cansay,also withSt.Paul:"Ilive,yet notI,butChristlivethin me."(Gal.2:20). Christfulfilledperfectly f TAXIS TRICOLOR
