M.F.,Christchurch,N.Z.: Itdisturbedmegreatlyto readintheRomanCatholic "Tablet"thatRomanCatholicsdonotbelieveProtestantssincereintheirreligion;or,ifsincere,thatthey mustbeunintelligent.

R.:Youmentionneither thearticleconcernednor theissueofthe"Tablet"in whichitappeared;soIam unabletocheckit.

Butthestatementasyou havewordeditissoextravagentlyfalsethatI haveno,hesitationinsaying thatyoumisunderstand whatyouread,andthat yourdistress-whichone cannotbutregret-hadno sufficientgroundsforit.

Sweepingstatementsare seldomjustified.Different Catholicsthinkdifferently aboutthereligiousattitudes ofdifferentProtestantsthey happentoknow-ifindeed theydothinkaboutthe matteratall.

CertainlyhostsofCatholicswouldtellyouofProtestantfriendsandacquaintanceswhomtheyregard bothasintelligentpeople andofundoubtedsincerity.

Q.:Thisisamostunfairaccusation.

R.:Imustdenythatany accusationsuchasyouhave describedwasmade.

Q.:WhentheProtestants brokeawayfromthe RomanCatholicChurch, itwasbecausetheyhad found,astheythought, thingsitwasnecessaryto objectto.

R.:Somethoughtthat. Otherswereactuatedby othermotivesaltogether.No onesimplereasoncanaccountforthatverycomplex phenomenonknownasthe ProtestantReformation.

Animmensenumberof differentfactorsenteredinto it.Thosewhohadtrulyreligiousmotivesandthought onlyofprotestingagainst whattheythoughttobe abuses,madetheunhappy

ResultsofAdam'sSinAffected HisWholeLifeAndOursAlso

Thinker,Drummoyne:HowmanydifferentpenaltieswerepasseduponAdamfor hissin?

R.:Anadequateanswer tothatquestioncannotbe basedonlyontheactual wordsofcondemnationin Genesis.

Aattentionmustbepaid totheconditionsofhisstate intheGardenofEdenfrom whichhewasexpelled,and alsotothetotaldoctrineof thewholeofScripture,includingtheNewTestament onthenatureofgraceand ofsin,andoftheeternal destiniesconsequentupon thm.

Itwouldtakealtogether toolongtodiscussallthese aspectsindetail;butfrom themallitcanbegathered thatthepenaltyofAdam's sinaffectedhiscompletebeinginthislife,andrenderedhimliabletothefate Christdeclaredtoawaitthe wickedwhenHesaid: "Theseshallgointoeverlastingpunishment."(Matt. 25-46).

Toindicatebrieflytheex-

Happily,Scripturetellus thathewho"wasfirstformedbyGod"was"brought outofhissin."Wisd.10:1.

Q.:Wasonepenaltypassed againstthesoulandanotheragainstthebody?

R.:Thepenaltyincurred byAdamaffectedhiscompletepersonality,whetherin regardtohissoulorinregardtohisbody,intheways Ihaveexplained.

Q.:IsthepenaltymentionedinGen.2:17adifferent penaltyfromtheonementionedinGen.3:10?

Thesecondpassagerefers tothissameaspectof Adam'spenalty,butincludes theadditionalaspectof anxiouslabourinproviding forthenecessitiesoflife.

Q.:Iftherewasjustone penalty,whatwasit?

R.:ThatIhavesufficientlyexplained.

Q.:DoestheBiblesayit wasdeath,areturningto thedust.

R.:Theparticularverses inGenesiswhichyouhave quotedmentiontwoaspects ofthepenalty,alifeof anxioustoilandphysical death. But thoseparticular versesarenottheBible; theyarebutpartofit. IfwetakethetotalteachingoftheBible,welearn that,quiteapartfromphy- sicaldeath,sinassuchinflicts thespiritualdeathupon soulevenwhilstoneis stillphysicallyalive.So St.PaulwrotetotheEphe- slaw:"YouhathHequic- kened(i.e.,madespirituallyalivebygrace)whowere deadintrespassesandsins." (Eph.2:1).

Inthissamesensehe wrotetotheRomans:"For thewagesofsinisdeath; butthefreegift(orgrace) ofGodiseternallife."Sin hadthesameeffectinthe soulofAdamasinany othersoul.

Q.:OrdoestheBiblesay thepenaltywasanendlesslifeofmiseryhia burninghell?

R.:TheBiblequotes Christ'sownwordsofthose whodieinseriousandunrepentedsin:"Theseshall goawayinto punishment."everlasting (Matt.25-46).

Themanyandgrimfigures ofspeechHeemployedon variousoccasionstodescribe thenatureofthatpunishmentIhavenottimetodiscuss.ButonewayHe thoughtwell-calculatedto bringhometousthedread -onsequencesofdyingina stateofunrepentedsinwas Hiswarningagainstgoing -intohell,intothefirethat nevershallbequenched."

(Mark9:43).

Theprospectwasthe sameforAdamasforanybodyelse;althoughhappily forhim,Adam,asIhave said,didrepentandrecover thegraceofGodbeforegoingfromthisworld.

Oneorotherofthetwo verdictsisessential.The onlyalternativeistosay: "Idonotknow,andIdonot wishtoknowwhetherit wasrighttoleavethe CatholicChurchornot." Butsurely,insovitala matter,thatisnotanintelligentattitudetoadopt.It wouldbesimplyarefusal toexerciseone'sintelligence inthisparticularandallimportantmatter.
