OurPaperWas FoundedToFight GreatPrejudice

"TheRecord"wasestablishedin1874Mr.J. T.Reillyin"ReminiscencesofFiftyYearsin WesternAustralia"says that"thecontinuedand prevailingprejudicemanifestedtowardstheCatholicbody,andtheparticu- larlyannoyingandpartial mannerinwhichthe newspapersofthecolony wereconducted,eventuatedintheestablishment andpublicationofthe 'W.A.CatholicRecord.'"

Mr.Reillysaysthat consideringthefinancial positionofthecommunitytheundertakingwasa seriousone,butasitbecameeverydaymoreevidentthatifprogresswere tobemadeandCatholic politicalrightsandreligiousfreedommaintaineditwasimperatively necessarythattheaidof thepressshouldbeinvoked.

"Havingbeenconnectedwiththepress,"says Mr.Reilly,"Iwasfully convincedofitspower, andmyviewsbeingsharedbytheRev.Father Gibney,therewasnot muchdifficultyininducingtheV.Rev.M.Griver, theAdministrator,togive hisconsenttothepu- rchaseofapressandother plant.Iwastherefore commissionedtomakethe purchase,andIwasvery T.fortunateinsecuringa goodpressandprinting plantfor£120."

Theissueofthefirstnumberof"The Record"wasregardedwithconsiderableinterestandinfactthecontents oftheveryfirstissuealmostledtoits abruptdiscontinuance.Mr.Reilly wroteanarticlecriticisingtheamountcontributedbytheGovernmenttowardsthesupportoftheorphansand,inhisownwords,-indulged insuchout language-spokenandindependent thatGovernorWeldwas highlyincensedatthegeneraltone."

TheGovernor,was,however,even-tuallyappeasedandtheamountcon- tributedbytheGovernmentwasimmediatelyincreased.

Theuseofincenseis mentionedallthroughHoly Scripturefrombeginningto end.Weread,bothin Leviticus(6:15),howGod commandedthepriestsofthe OldLawtoofferincenseas asweetsavourtotheLord. Psalm140(141):2makes theplea:"Letmyprayer ascendasincenseinThy sight."IntheNewTestament,St.Lug-etehsusthat itwaswhenZacharyhad enteredthetempletooffer incensethattheangelannouncedtohimthathe wouldhaveason,Johnthe Baptist(Lk.1:9),whilst amongthegiftsbroughtto honourthechildJesuson Hisbirth,theMagiorWise MenfromtheEast,includedincensewiththeirether tributes.

Intheverylastbookof theNewTestament,St. John,inhisvisionarydescriptionofheaven,speaks ofanangelhavingagolden censerandofferingincense withtheprayersofthe saintsbeforethethroneof God(Rev.8:3). Despitethisscriptural sanction,however,the CatholicChurchdidnotuse incenseinherritualduring thefirstfourcenturies.

Thereasonforthatwas becauseoftheintense strugglewithpaganism. ForthepaganGreeksand Romansusedincensein theirworshipofheathen gods.

Indeed,duringthefirst threecenturiesofpersecu tints,itwasenoughfora Christiantothrowalittle incenseonapaganaltarto admitthathehadrenouncedChristandhadreverted topaganism.

SoTertullianwrotein thesecondcentury:"Wedo nutburnincenseasisofferedtoidols."

Whenthepaganpersecutionsceased,however,and therewasnolongerdanger ofmisunderstanding,the CatholicChurch,actingon biblicalprinciples,revived theuseofincenseinher liturgicalritesasasymbol ofprayerandworshipofferedtothetrueGod.

Despitehisoutrightdenial thatheisoreverwasa Communist,somepeople stillhavedoubtsaboutCaptainAntonioNunezJimenez,directoroftheAgrarian ReformInstituteandthe mostpowerfulmaninCuba nexttoFidelhimself.
