BrilliantSurvey.Shows ImpactOfOurSchools

AbrilliantshortsurveyofCatholiceducationinAustraliahasbeenpublishedbythe DepartmentofTutorialClassesintheUniversityofSydney,asits"CurrentAffairsBulletin"forAugust25.TheBulletinshowsthatCatholicschoolseducate25percentof primaryschoolchildrenand26percentofsecondaryschoolchildreninAustraliawithoutanyGovernmentsupport.ItconcludesthatAustralianeducationdependsonthe entiresystemofbothGovernmentandnon-Governmentschools,andanyreappraisal whichistobecomprehensiveandrealisticshouldtakethemallintoaccount.

TheCurrentAffairsBulletin,entitled"TheCatholicSchoolinAustralia,"statesthatenrolmentsin CatholicschoolsthroughoutAustraliahaverisenby 64percent.between1946and1956-from211,000to 348,000.

TheCommonwealthOfficeofEducationestimates thatby1964therewillbe424,000childreninCatholic schools-anincreaseofover100percent.overthe 1946figure.

Thiswillmeanthattheentiresystemwhichwas createdbetween1872and1946(74years)mustbe duplicatedduringtheperiodbetween1946and1964 (18years).

Threefactorshavecontributedtothetremendous andincreasingpressureonschoolaccommodationand teachingpersonnel-anincreasedbirth-rate,migration,andthetendencyofchildrentoremainlonger atschool.Childrenattendingnon-Government schoolsstayatschoollongerthanthoseattending Stateschools.

TheBulletinsaysthataconservativeestimateofthe numberofchildrenrefusedadmissiontonon-Governmentschoolsbetween1953and1956was64,000.Of theseupwardsof50,000wouldbeCatholics.This "overflow"fromthecrowdednon-Government schoolsmustofnecessitygointotheStateschools, increasingtheburdenonteachersandthecostsof variousStateEducationDepartments.

Inthefiveyearsbetween1950and1954theexpenditureonschoolbuildingandmaintenance(excluding teachnicalschools)was£270,872,000.Thefigurefor thefiveyears1954-58inclusivewillbefarhigher.

Thus,duringthe1950-1954periodtheysavedAustralianGovernments(andtaxpayers)morethan £60,000,000.Thesavingtothetaxpayersince1954 wouldobviouslybefargreater,becauseofthehuge increaseinenrolmentsduringthatperiod.

IntellectualsCaughtByTrickery

AsafurtherillustrationofCommunistinsincerity, FatherThorntontoldmethedetailsofthe"RectificationCampaign"whichwaslaunchedbytheCommunistsinFebruary,1957.

Thiscampaignwasannouncedinafour-hourspeech byMaoTse-tung,ChairmanoftheChineseCommunistParty,inwhichhequotedtheancientChinese proverboftoleration,"Letahundreddifferentflowers bloomtogetherinthegardenandletallschoolsof thoughtcontend."

Joyfullywasthisannouncementgreetedbythe "intellectuals"ofChina,whoformorethanseven years,sincetheCommunistsseizedpower,hadbeen compelledtogivelip-servicetotheparrot-phrases ofMarxism,iftheywishedtoavoidhavingtheirheads cutoff,oraholedrilledinthebackoftheirskulls, oratleastiftheywishedtoavoidbeing"indoctrinated"inprisonorsenttobe"reformed"bybreaking stonesinalabourcamp.

Nowthe"intellectuals"wereactuallyinvited,by theheadoftheCommunistParty,toexpresstheir criticismsofthepartyopenlyandfearlessly!TraditionalChinesetolerationhadtriumphed!Everyflower ofthoughtcouldbloom!

ForafewmonthstheCommunistPressrepeated theinvitationtotheintellectualstoexpresstheir thoughtsopenlyandfreely.Butthisinvitationwas onlycheesetobaitamousetrap

Whenasufficientnumberofwell-meaningpersons hadwrittenorspokencriticismsoftheGovernment anditspolicy,theCommunistPresssuddenlyannouncedthatChinawasinfestedandmenacedwith "right-wingdeviationists."

Unfortunately,manyidealisticpeopleinforeign countries,stillbelievingthatCommunismaimsat upliftingthemasses,andunawareofitstruenature asthepower-cultofaschemingminority,haveheard onlythefirstpartofthisstoryofthe"newtoleration" inChina. Theystillbelievethatallflowerscanbloominthe Communistgarden.Theyhaven'theardthattheRed Scythemowsdowntheflowersassoonastheydare tobloom

Toconcludethesebriefreportsofmytalkswith Catholicmissionarieswhohaveactuallybeenexpelled fromChinabytheCommunists,Iquotefrommy notesofaninterviewwithRev.FatherJohyHerrygees,nowlivinginanoutersuburbofTaipei,onFormosa.

FatherHerrygeesisDutch,borninHollandin1901. Hewasordainedin1926asaVincentianandwent toTangShan,acityinNorthChina,in1927.This district,100milestotheeastwardofPeking,hasa populationof700.000,withindustriesofcoalmining andironandcementmanufacture.

FatherHerrygeesworkedthereasparishpriest until1942,whentheJapaneseinternedhim.Hewas releasedin1945andsoonafterwardswasappointed ApostolicAdministratorofthediocese,pendingthe arrivalofanewBishop.

Therewereninepriestsunderhisadministration, alsolaybrothersandVincentianSistersofCharity, bothChineseandEuropean,conductingschools,a hospitalandahospiceforoldanddisabledpeople.

TheVincentianMissioninNorthChinawashighly respectedbytheChineseforitsmanyyearsofdevoted careofthesick,theaged,orphansandthepoor.This madeitverydifficultfortheCommuniststopretend thatthemissionarieswere"enemiesofthepeople."

InDecember,1948,theCommunistArmyarrived atTangShan,afterbattlesinwhichtheNationalist forcesweredrivenback.

Soonafterwards,fiveCommunistPartyofficials calledonFatherHerrygeesandaskedhim,"What isyouropinionofCommunism

Thepriestreplied:"Youhaveputuppostersstating thattherewillbefreedomofreligion.Ifthatistrue, wecanbeneighboursandgoonwithourwork."

TheleaderoftheCommunistsbangedhisclenched fistandshouted,"Whatdoyoumeanbysaying,'If thatistrue?'Wealwaysspeakthetruth!Youwill havetoco-operatewithusoryourcan'rollout'!"

TheSecurityPoliceswoopedandmorethan60,000 "rightists"weregaoled,brain-washedandsentenced to"ReformbyHardLabour,"nownewly-described as"labourcustody."

TheCommunistsexplainedthatwhattheyreally meantby"freedomofdiscussion"was"freedomto discussthebestwayofstrengtheningCommunismin China."

Meantime,grantedthat thesoulhasnotceasedto live,buthasundergone onlya'transition,"the questionarises-"transition"towhat?According toRosicrucianteaching,the universeor"cosmos"isthe wholeofreality.They speakofthe"cosmicconsciousness"and"cosmic mind."

ThereisnoGodoutside anddistinctfromthe"cosmos."Individualhuman beingsliveinsubconscious contactwiththevast,obscurelifeofthe"cosmos;" andany"transition"ofthe soulcanonlybewithinthe "cosmos,"merelyfroma senseofseparationentailedbyourindividualityto acloserunionwiththe "cosmicconsciousness."

Thisisallutterlyunchristian;forChristianity teachesthatthereisonly oneBeingexistinginHis Ownright,God;thatHe, andHealone,iseternal; thatintimeHecreatedall else;andthatallelseis everdependentonHisWill foritscontinuedexistence.

The"cosmos"meansthe createdandorderlymaterialuniverseinwhichwe nowfindourselves.Besides thismaterialuniverse,God hasalsocreatedangelsin adifferentorderofbeing, notspatio-temporalatall, accordingtotheconditions weknow.

However,lettingtheaspectofdivinegracego,take thesimplestofallconsiderations,thatofhistory.In Matt16:18,Christsaid:"I willbuildmyChurch."He said"Church"not "Churches,"speakinginthe singular,notintheplural.

OfthatChurch,Hesaid "Andthegatesofhellshall notprevailagainstit."When sendingHisApostles,upon whomHehadfoundedHis Church,toteachallnations, Hesaid:"Andbehold,Iam withyoualldaysevento theconsummationofthe world."Matt.28:20).

Historically,theCatholic ChurchistheonlyChurch whichhasbeenintheworld alldayssincethen.Itis Catholicism,therefore,or nothing.Noroomisleftfor anyotherchoice.

Q.:Itisthepaganismof Catholicbeliefthatsickensme.

R.:Thatisasstrangeas wouldbetheinstitutionof aliturgicalFeastDayby theCatholicChurchin honourofMartinLuther! JustasMartinLutherstands asasymbolofanti-Catholicism,soMagnaCarta standsasasymbolofantiAnglicanism,foranyone whoknowshistory.

FortheAnglicanChurch owesitsexistencetoadirectviolationofMagna Carta.TheAnglicanhistorian,Dr.Z.N.Brooke,in hisbook,"TheEnglish ChurchandthePapacy," writesasfollows:

"Thelibertywhichthe EnglishChurchwasgranted byJohninMagnaCarta waslibertyfromroyalinterference,andnotliberty frompapalcontrol;rather, aswithBecket,itimplied libertytobeunderpapal control."

Clearly,whenHenryVIII repudiatedpapalcontrol andconstitutedhimselfas headoftheChurchofEngland,hewasreversingthe provisionsofMagnaCarta.

ThatAnglicansshouldrejoiceinthesigningofa documentsoradicallyopposedtotheestablishingof theirChurchinthefirst placeisanotheroflife's insolublemysteries.

Andwhenthesoulgoes fromthebodyatdeath,it goestotheGodwhogave it.Itdeparts,notonly fromthebody,butfromthis worldanduniverseintoa "non-cosmic"stateofexistencebeyondspatio-temporalconditions;astateof existencepropertodisembodiedspirit-beings.

Q.:Rosicruciansholdthat afterso-calleddeath,the soulgoesthroughaperiod ofpurification. R.:Theyholdthatthat isaccomplishedbyreincarnation.Theycan'tgetout oftheironlyandselfexistent"cosmos,"sohave topostulateanotherlifein thismaterialworld.

Q.:How,then,canRosicruclanteachingbe"Pantheism,"ifCatholicismalso teachesthatthesoul mustundergoaperiodof purificationinPurgatory orLimbobeforeitcan enterHeaven?

R.:Firstly,merelyto teachthenecessityofprogressivepurificationno moreenablesRosicrucianism toescape"Pantheism"than thesameteachingenables Hinduismtoescapeit.Rosicrucianismidentifiesthe "cosmos,"thiscreateduniverse,withGod. Itspeaksofthe"cosmic consciousness,"ofthe"cosmicmind,"evenofthe"infiniteintelligenceofthe cosmos."Itknowsnothing ofatranscendent,personal God,distinctfromtheuniverse,andtheCreatorof it.

Secondly,its"purification"isaprocessofreincarnationswithinthe"cosmos"whichnevergetbeyondthe"cosmos;"andits ideaof"heaven"isonlya moreintimatemerginginto the"cosmos."

Allthatismaterialistic andpantheisticintheextreme,asfarremovedas possiblefromthetrulyspiritualandsupernaturaldoctrinesofCatholicism,and therevealedteachingsofthe NewTestament.NoChristiancouldacceptit.
