ScapularDevotionHasClose TiesWithLourdes'Visions

(.13yV.Rev.W.F.Nugent,0.Corm.,D.D.)

TheapparitionsofOurLadyofLourdesmaybesaidtoemphasisethedevotiontotheBrownScapularinathree-foldmanner. ItwasprominentlyastheImmaculateVirginthatOurLadymade herselfknownatLourdes;andtheBrownScapularhasalways beenthetraditionalsignofConsecrationtoMaryImmaculate. Then,theLourdesvisionary,St.Bernadettewasmostdevotedto OurLadyofMountCarmelandworeherscapularmostlovingly. Finally,thelastandmostbeautifulofalltheLoordes'apparitionsoccurredontheFeastDayofOurLadyofMountCarmel, July16,1858.

ThememoryofOur Lady'sapparitions atLourdes,whichhave beenbroughtsostronglyto thenoticeoftheCatholic worldduringthecentenary year,hasundoubtedly warmedCatholichearts anewtotheBlessedVirgin Mary.

Thehighlightoftheseapparitionswastherevelation bytheblessedVisionofher identitytothechosenshepherdess,thesaintlyBernadette.InresponsetoBernadette'searnestlyrepeated petition.theapparitiondeclared"IamtheImmaculate Conception."

MonsignorFrancisTrochu inhisrecentbook,Saint BernadetteSoubirous,tells usofthismemorableevent inthesebeautifulwords: "Itwasthemorningof thetwenty-fifthofMarch, theFeastoftheAnnunciation.Theskywaspureand litupwiththefirstraysof dawn.

Theapparitionhadforestalledherlittlevisitor. "Shewasthere,"relatedSt. Bernadette,"tranquiland smilingasafondmother watchesoverherchildren. Afterpouringoutmyheart toherItookoutmybeads."

AtthatmomentBernadette,inherectasy,felt moreeagerthaneverto knowatlastthenameand rankofthismysteriousbeingwhosoenraptured'her. Soinaresolutetoneshe asked:

Atthisthirdentreaty, whichmovedhermorethan alltheprevious,precisely becausethechild,stillconfidentinspiteofapparent refusals,waspractisingthe importunitycommendedin theGospel,theApparition, who,tillthen,hadkepther handsjoined,openedher armsandloweredthemas ontheMiraculousMedal, thuscausingherrosaryof alabasterandgoldtoslip downtowardsherwrist.

OfNationality

P.H.,Wahroonga:How manyofthePopesoutof the262,withtheexceptionofPeter,HadrianIV. andHadrianVI.werenot Italian?

R.:Thatisanimpossible questiontoanswer;for manywhomwe,withour present-dayideas,would regardasItalians,would nomorehaveregarded themselvesasItaliansthan theearlyBritonswould havethoughtofthemselves asEnglish.

IndealingwiththesuccessionofPopes,wearedealingwithalmost2000years ofhistory.Nodifficulty arises,ofcourse,inthecase ofthosePopeswhowere bornoutsidethegeographicallimitsoftheItalian Peninsula.

Q.:Besidesbeinginfluenced byourinheritedweakness,weareinfluenced byotherthingssuchas oursurroundings,brainwashing.etc.

R.:TheCatholicdoctrine ofthe"existence"offree willasahumanattribute isinnowayaffectedbythe factthatvariousinfluences canmakeits"exercise"difficult,orinexceptionalcircumstancesimpossible.

ThattheCatholicChurch isfullyawareoftheinfluenceofsurroundings,environment,etc.,isevident fromherteachingthat peopleareobligedtoavoid "occasionsofsin."

Toputoneself"voluntarily"intoevilsurroundings oranevilenvironmentis itselfsinfulpreciselybecausethewill'spowersof resistancecanbethusdiminishedorundermined.It followsthatpeoplewho, throughnofaultoftheir own,findthemselvesin suchcircumstances,andare "involuntarily"exposedto dangerousinfluences,are lessguiltythanothersif theysin.thoughtheywill stillbeguiltyaccordingto thedegreeoffreedomthat remainedtothem,ifany.

FreedomOfWillIsNotPossible ToEverybodyInAllCircumstances

"Perplexed,"Collie: haveneverbeen abletograsptheCatholicChurch'stheory

R.:Youareworkingon wrongideasofwhatthe teachingoftheChurchis aboutfreewill.Oneis sparedalotofunnecessary worryif,beforespeculating aboutagivenCatholicdoctrine,hefirstmakessure thathehasaccuratenotions ofthenatureofthedoctrine andoftheconditionsby whichitisaffected.That Godhasendowedhuman beingsingeneralwithfree willisnotmerelyaCatholic "theory."ItisafactrevealedbyGodinSacred Scripture,andisasmuch adefinedarticleofthe CatholicFaithasanyother officiallyproclaimeddoctrine.Itispartofhuman natureitself,then,tobeendowedwithfreewill.But itdoesnotfollowthatbecausefreedomofwillis basictohumannature,the exerciseoffreewillisalwayspossibletoeverybody, underallconceivablecircumstances,andineverything.TheCatholicChurch hasnevertaughtthatthere arenolimitationswhatever restrictingthescopeoffree will,ordiminishingour powertoexerciseit.Butto saythatamanisnotfreein allthings,andthatheis freeonlyinsomethings, doesnotdenyfreewill:it assertsit.

Q.:Tomymindthereare manythingsthathinder estosuchanextentthat Wecanneitherthink clearlynorwillfreely.

Butcertainlyforthefirst 300yearsbeforeConstantine,nocitizenofRome wouldconsiderhimselfan Italian.Andduringthecenturiessincethenwhatwe todaycallItalyhasgone throughallkindsofchanges ofindependentcitiesand States,attainingpolitical unityonlyin1870.

WhatOfInheritedTaint?

"Perplexed,"Collie,WA.: Wearetaughtthatwehave inheritedaweaknessincurredbythelapseofour firstparents,AdamandEve.

Q.:Wouldthishereditary weaknesshinderusfrom exercisingourfreewill?

R.:Itdoesnothinderus "from"exercisingourfree will,althoughitmayhinder us"in"exercisingit,demandingmoreeffortonour partthanwouldbethecase hadwenotinheriteda fallenhumannature.The CatholicChurch,hascondemnedashereticalthe teachingofthefirstProtes-

"Inthegreatpartof Chinatodaywhichisunder Communistrule,Christianityispassingthrougha crisismorechallengingand tragicthananythingwhich hasconfrontedourfaithin moderntimes.

"AllAmericanswhohave grownupinProtestant SundaySchools,Churches andyoungpeople'sorganisationshaveheardthatstory againandagainfromthe mouthsofreturningChristianmissionaries.

ThestruggletoChristianiseChina,whichbegan historicallywiththearrival ofDr.MorrisoninCanton in1807,isoneofthemost gloriouschaptersinthehistoryoftheProtestant, Church.Inthisgreateffort, theCatholicsprecededthe Protestants.

"St.FrancisXavier,itwill berecalled,diedin1552on anislandatthemouthof theWestRiver,justbelow Canton,afteravainattempt toreachthemainlandof ChinatopreachChristianity.
