Itwouldbewellthatyou engageasmanyCatholics aspossibletoworkwith youinthisnobleandmeritorioustaskofdistribution.
Youshouldendeavourto enlisttheinterestandenthusiasmofthepupilsof ourCatholicschools,andof themembersofourlayorganisations.
Makeknowntothem theimportanceofyour work.Tellthemofyour needformoreapostolicmen andwomen,boysandgirls, inorderthattheCatholic thoughtandtheCatholic slantonthingsmayreach moresectorsandpenetrate moredeeplyintotherhythm ofsociallife.
Thechildrenofour schoolsandcolleges,the membersofouryouthorganisationsarereadytobe stimulated;buttheyneed thestimulation.
ThedoctrinesoftheFaith andthewaysofChristian lifetaughtintheclassesof religioninstructedbythe priests,brothersandsisters needtobecomplemented bypracticalapostolicaction.

Butinorderthatthis apostolicactioncomeabout itisnecessarythatincessantlytheylearnfromthe mouthsoftheirpastors, brothers,andsisters,the apostolicapproachand understandingofChristian life.

Q.:InEnglishthewords mean:"Thereisnosalvationoutsidethe Church."
R.:Thatistrue;anditis anaxiomwhichnoChristiancanreject,howeverhe mayinterpretit.ForChrist certainlyinstitutedaChurch tocontinueHissavingwork inthisworld.

Origen,wholivedfrom 185to254A.D.,wrote:"Let noonetherefore,persuade himself,letnoonedeceive himself outsidethe Churchnooneissaved."
Origen,writingatthebeginningofthethirdcentury thusrecordedwhathad beentheacceptedChristian teachingfromtheverybeginning.

Q.:Bythisdoctrineis meantthatthereisno salvationoutside"the RonianCatholicChurch," declaresMr.Lewis.
R.:Thatintroducesanothermatteraltogether. Thattheaxiomexistedin theChristianChurchfrom theverybeginningiscertain.
saytopeople:"Itreally doesn'tmattertoanyone whetherhebelongstoour Churchornot!"
Q.:"Thisisamatterwhich lendsitselftoasimple, practicalandobvious test,"Mr.Lewiscontinues.
"IfItcouldbesaid:"AD theChristiansareinthe RomanCatholicChurch; youhaveneverseenan Anglican,oraBaptist,or aCongregationalist,ora Methodist,oraPresbyterian,oranyotherwho inanysensecouldbe calledaChristian,and thatnoneofthesehasany ofthegraceofGod-tbea theclaimthat"thereis sosalvationoutsidethe RomanCattholicChurch' wouldbejustified.Butit ismanifestlyimpossible tosaythat."
R.:HereMr.Lewisjumps toathird,andagainadifferentproblem.Thefirst concernedtheexistenceof theaxiom:"Outsidethe Churchthereisnosalvation."
Thesecondconcernedthe claimoftheCatholicChurch tobethetrueChurchas distinctfromallother Churchesopposedtoher.
Nowthenewproblemis raisedconcerningtheinterpretationoftheaxiom: "OutsidetheChurchthere isnosalvation."Thekeyto itscorrectinterpretationI havealreadyindicatedby sayingthatitisnecessary fortheirverysalvationthat allwhorealisethetruthof theCatholicChurchmust becomemembersofit.
ButevenGodcouldnot expectamantodowhathe doesnotrealiseheoughtto do.If,throughnofaultof hisown,amanisunaware thattheCatholicChurchis thetrueChurch,thenGod overlookshis'innocentmistake,andgrantshimthe gracesnecessarytoenable himtoliveuptosuchconscientiousconvictionsashe doespossess.

The"convictpriests,"astheyarepopularlycalled, wereFatherJamesHarold,FatherJamesDixonand FatherPeterO'Neil.
FatherHaroldwasthefirsttoarrive.Hereached SydneyonJanuary11,1800,ontheMinerva, describedbyoneofthepassengersinhismemoirsas "afloatingdungeonofdisgustingfilth."Hestepped ontoAustraliansoilonJanuary13.
Atthetime,underaruleofthecolony,Catholic convicts,whonumberedaboutathirdofthepopulation,wereforcedtoattendChurchofEnglandreligious ceremonieseverySundaymorningorbeflogged.
SoCatholicpriesthadbeenallowedtoministerin thecolony,and,ofcourse,therewasnoCatholic placeofworship.

Asecondpriest,FatherBarry,wastohavebeen sentontheMinerva,too,buthediedbeforebeing placedontheship.
Terriblesufferings-includingthirst,cruelty,confinement,vermin,depravity,filthandhunger-were enduredbytheunfortunateconvictsduringthe voyage.

WhenNorfolkIslandwastemporarilyabandoned in1807,FatherHaroldwassenttoTasmaniaandthus becamethefirstCatholicpriesttowalkonTasmanian soil,althoughthereisnoevidencethathewasallowed toministerthere.

HecompletedhisstudiesatLouvainin1784,and acurateatCrossabegwhenthe1798insurrection,in whichhisbrotherwasaleader,brokeout.
Probablytheparticipationofothermembersofhis familyintheuprisingdirectedsuspiciontowardshim andhewasundoubtedlythevictimofunscrupulous informersaswell.
