Peter&Paul'sBodies

M.K.C.,Goulburn:Inalettertothe "GoulburnEveningPost,"Oct.17,1958,Mr. A.0.Hendersonsaidthepressreportedthe burialofthelatePopePiusXIInearthesite ofSt.Peter'stomb.

R.:Thatistrue.

Q.:"Iamopentocorrection,"Mr.Henderson wrote,"butIhadalways understooditwassupposedthatthebodyofSt. Peterhasbeenexhibited tothefaithfulonmany occasionsbefore1950."

R.:Itisquiteclearfrom therestofhisletterthat Mr.Hendersonwishesto suggestfraudonthepartof theauthoritiesinRome,for hegoesontogivewhathe imaginestobeevidencethat thebodyofSt.Peterwas transferredfromRometo Canterbury,inEngland,in 656A.D.

Thinkinghehadapoint there,hepavedthewayfor itbythepretencethata fictitiousbodyofSt.Peter wasfrequentlyshowntothe gulliblefaithfulinRome.

Havingnoevidencewhateverforthathehad"always supposed"thatsuchfrequent exhibitionsofSt.Peter's bodytookplace;addingthat hewasopentocorrectionon thatmatter.

Ihereandnowcorrect him.Nosuchexhibitions occurred.Noone"supposed"thattheydid.Norhas Mr.Hendersonanyreasons forthinkingthatanyone

supposedthatsuchexhibitionsevertookplace.

Q.:"However,"Mr.Hendersoncontinued,"Iwishto drawattentiontothefact thatthelearnedChurch historian,theVenerable Bede(673-735A.D.), statesthatthebodiesof SS.PeterandPaul were,atthesolicitation ofKingOswyofBritain toPopeVitalian,removed fromRometoEngland anddepositedatCanterburyin656A.D." R.:TheVenerableBede doesnotsaythatthebodies ofSS.PeterandPaulwere removedtoCanterbury.He speaksof"relics"ofSS. PeterandPaul,notof"the bodies."

Q.:"Theremainsofthe Apostlesmustthen,reposeinBritishsoil." R.:Nothingwrittenbythe VenerableBedejustifies thatconclusion.

Q.:"ItshouldberememberedthatBedewasavery earnestadherentofthe papalchurch." R.:True.

Q.:"Thehonestyandsimplicityofhischaracter placehisstatementsbeyondquestion." R.:SincetheVenerable Bedestatesthat"relics"of

SS.PeterandPaulwere senttoCanterbury,and makesnomentionoftheir "bodies,"thehonestyand simplicityofonewhowould suustitutetheword"bodies" fortheword"relics,"thus falsifyingthetextofthe VenerableBede,is-tosay theleast-notbeyondquestion.

Where?

Q.:"Hewastheauthor," declaresthelearnedMr. Henderson,"ofthevaluablework:"HistoricaEclesiastica."

R.:Not"HistoricaEcclesiastica;"but"HistoriaEclesiastica."Ihavethework bothinLatinandinEnglish.Inithespeaksofthe "relics"ofSS.Peterand Paul,notthe"bodies"of SS.PeterandPaul. Manychurchesfromthe earliesttimessought"relics" fromthetombofthese Apostles;andtheword "relics"wasinterpretedina

verybroadsensecovering anysacredobjectsconnectedwiththesaintsand martyrs,ordustfromtheir burialplaces,orevenarticlesthathadbeenplaced ontheirtombs. The"LiberDiurnus,"in useinthetimeofPope Vitalian,containstheofficialformularyusedbythe Popesindespatching"relics"ofSS.PeterandPaul tofavouredchurches. Hereisitswording:"We sendyouablessingfrom thesanctuary ofthe Apostles,thatis,apallium fromtheirShrine,tobe preservedwithreverencein theChurch."

Peter&Paul'sBodiesWhere?

M.K.C.,Goulburn:Inalettertothe "GoulburnEveningPost,"Oct.17,1958,Mr. A.0.Hendersonsaidthepressreportedthe burialofthelatePopePiusXIInearthesite ofSt.Peter'stomb.

R.:Thatistrue. supposedthatsuchexhibitionsevertookplace.

Q.:"Iamopentocorrection,"Mr.Henderson wrote,"butIhadalways understooditwassupposedthatthebodyofSt. Peterhasbeenexhibited tothefaithfulonmany occasionsbefore1950."

R.:Itisquiteclearfrom therestofhisletterthat Mr.Hendersonwishesto suggestfraudonthepartof theauthoritiesinRome,for hegoesontogivewhathe imaginestobeevidencethat thebodyofSt.Peterwas transferredfromRometo Canterbury,inEngland,in 656A.D.

Thinkinghehadapoint there,hepavedthewayfor itbythepretencethata fictitiousbodyofSt.Peter wasfrequentlyshowntothe gulliblefaithfulinRome.

Havingnoevidencewhateverforthathehad"always supposed"thatsuchfrequent exhibitionsofSt.Peter's bodytookplace;addingthat hewasopentocorrectionon thatmatter.

Q.:"However,"Mr.Hendersoncontinued,"Iwishto drawattentiontothefact thatthelearnedChurch historian,theVenerable Bede(673-735A.D.), statesthatthebodiesof SS.PeterandPaul were,atthesolicitation ofKingOswyofBritain toPopeVitalian,removed fromRometoEngland anddepositedatCanterburyin656A.D." R.:TheVenerableBede doesnotsaythatthebodies ofSS.PeterandPaulwere removedtoCanterbury.He speaksof"relics"ofSS. PeterandPaul,notof"the bodies."

Q.:"Theremainsofthe Apostlesmustthen,reposeinBritishsoil" R.:Nothingwrittenbythe VenerableBedejustifies thatconclusion.

Q.:"Hewastheauthor," declaresthelearnedMr. Henderson,"ofthevaluablework:"HistoricaEclesiastica."

R.:Not"HistoricaEcclesiastica;"but"HistoriaEclesiastica."Ihavethework bothinLatinandinEnglish.Inithespeaksofthe "relics"ofSS.Peterand Paul,notthe"bodies"of SS.PeterandPaul.

Manychurchesfromthe earliesttimessought"relics" fromthetombofthese Apostles;andtheword "relics"wasinterpretedina

(ByJamesC.O'Neill)

Rome,Feb.16.-Insolemnceremonies markingtheclosingoftheLourdesCentenaryattheBasilicaofSt.MaryMajorhere, HisHolinessPopeJohnXXIIIstressedthat adorationofChrist"isatthecentreofevery formofdevotiontoHisBlessedMother."

"ItisthroughMarythatonegoestoJesus,"Pope Johntoldthe20,000peoplewhocrowdedRome's greatestMarianchurchfortheoccasion.Hesaidalso thatthetraditionaldevotiontoOurLadybythesuccessorsofSt.Peterisoneof"inspirationandgreatness."

ThecelebrationatSt.Mary'sMajorfolloweda tridiumofeveningMassesineveryRomeparishin honouroftheclosingoftheyear-longcelebrationof the100thanniversaryoftheappearingoftheBlessed VirgintoSt.BernadetteSoubirousintheFrench mountaintownofLourdes.PopeJohnwastomark thefinaldayofthecentenary,February18,bytaking partinspecialservicesattheChurchofSt.Louisof theFrench,theFrenchnationalchurchinRome.

OnenteringSt.MaryMajor,thePontiffwascarriedonhisportablethronetothemainaltar,where hekneltinprayerbeforetheexposedBlessedSacrament.

Inhis15-minutesermon,hespokeofhisownlast visittoLourdes-lastMarch25,whenasPatriarch ofVeniceandLegateofPopePiusXIIheflewthere toconsecratethehugenewundergroundbasilicaof St.PiusX.

TracingtheMariandevotionofthePopesfromthe fourthcentury,whenPopeLiberiusbuilttheBasilica ofSt.MaryMajoritself,tothepresenttime,Pope Johnsummedupthe15centuriesbysaying:"The housesofthePopesisthehouseofMary."

TurningtotheplaceofMariandevotiontothe Church,thePontiffsaidthatalthoughwebegMary tointercedeforusinmanytemporalandearthly matters,weshouldnotbeginourprayerswiththese pleas:"Theymustnotoccupyallourtimeorallour heart."

Instead,PopeJohnsaid,itisnecessarytorecognise twooftheChurch'sprincipalteachings-discipline andpenance.

"Itisdisciplineandpenancewhichinfactbring abouttheincreaseofsocialbenefitsandassureoneof peace.Thisisreality.Withoutdisciplineoneisnot aman,andwithoutpenanceoneisnotaChristian."

Inhisconclusion,thePopepointedoutthatSt.Mary MajorhousesthepaintingoftheBlessedVirginwhich istheonemostesteemedbythepeopleofRometheimagebearingthetitleMary,HelpoftheRoman People-aswellasastatueofMary,QueenofPeace. Thenheofferedthisprayer:
