Itmayhelptoclearnessof ideasifwebrieflyconsider the.question. Inthis,asinmanyother matters,wefindasolution onlybygoingbacktothe fundamentalfactsoflife.

Religionistheworshipof God;thismeansacknowledgementofHispositionas Creator,reverenceforHim, andtheserviceduetoHim byrationalbeings. IfweleaveGodoutof humanlife,wefindourselves withsomethingmuchmore emptyandmeaninglessthan HamletwithoutthePrinceof Denmark.

Religioncannotbeconsideredasan"extra";far frombeinglikeanadded ornamentonafabric,itis, theverywarpandwoofof life.

God'sWillIsLaw

Themostfundamentaland universalofalllawsisthat we,ascreatures,mustlive ourlivesinaccordancewith God'swill;ifwedisregard thatwecanonlybehopeless failures.

Thatisthereason-why CatholicsmustbeCathoilcs, notonSundayonly,but everydayoftheweek;they cannotbeservantsofGod whileatprayer,andservants oftheworldatothertimes.

Themorallaw-thatis, God'slaw-appliesatall timesandineverydepartmentoflife.EveryChristian mustshareintheruleoflife ofChrist:"Iaminthis world,nottodoMyown will,butthewillofHim thatsentMe."

A"Catholic"'chemist,then, isonewhoacceptsthisview oflifeandlivesbyit.But' itisnotalwaysaneasytask forhimtoguardhisprinciplesagainstthesoftening influenceofaworldthatis largelypagan.

ButdutytoGodinvolves alsodutytoourfellow-men. Godhasestablishedhuman society,anditisinassocia-

Inthissocietyweare necessarilybothgiversand receivers;weshareinthe benefitsthatcommunitylife confers,butatthesametime weareboundtocontribute tothecommongood.

It thatunfortunatelyhappens theattentionofagreat numberofmenisfixedon whattheywanttoget,tothe extentthattheyalmostlose thesenseofobligationto give.

Animportantsayingof OurLordhasbeenforgotten: "Itisamoreblessedthing togivethantoreceive" (Acts20:35.

Asmembersofsocietywe haveourrights,butwealso havecorrespondingduties. Inmodernsocietytheemphasisisalmostentirelyon rights.

Nationsandsectionsof nationsandindividualsare clamorousaboutwhatthey asserttobetheirrights,but hardlyawordiseversaid abouttheirduties.

AttentionToDuty

Yetwhenourliveswillbe subjectedtothescrutinyof theeternalJudge,weshall notbeheldtoblameif othershavesometimesfailed togiveusourrights(rather willittendtoouradvantage);butifwehavefailed inourdutiesweshallbe calledtoaccountforthat.

Notafewofthetroubles which wouldafflictmodernsociety disappearifmenwere topaymoreattentionto theirobligationstotheir fellow-men;andtherewould belessneedtoinsiston rightsifeveryoneweremore concernedwithdoinghis duty.

Itisnotnecessarytopoint outtheimportantpartthat chemistsplayinthecommunity,fortheserviceswhich theyrenderareverynecessary/onesandcontribute greatlytothewelfareofall.

Butbesidesbeinghuman societyingeneral,thereis specialsocietyinwhich Catholicchemistsbelong, namelytheChurchofChrist.

Itisasupernaturalsociety, anditsmembersliveasuper- naturallife,fortheyshare inthelifeofChristHimself, asbranchesoftheVinethat isChrist,ormembersofHis body,whichistheChurch.

Asthisgivesahigherform oflifeandahigherformof activity,soitalsoincreases theobligationsofCatholics towardsallwhoarem-mbersofChrist'sbody,either actuallyorpotentially. Theirobligationstowards theirfellow-mentakeona newcharacter:intheirdealingswithotherstheyareno longeractingasmeremen, butasChristianmen,other Christs.

Itisobvious,then,thata Catholicchemistmustbe quitedifferentfromonethat isanunbeliever,forhemust takequiteadifferentview 'of-hisprofessionandofhis duties.

"Formelifemeans Christ,"saidSt.Paul(Phil. 1:21),bywhichhemeantin thecontext,thathislifewas devotedtothebuildingupof thebodyofChrist.

Pt.:UntiltheProtestant reformation,allinWestern Christendomsimplycalled themselvesCatholics. CatholicsinEnglandwere membersofthesameCatholicChurchasCatholicsin France,Germany,Spain, SwitzerlandandothercountriesontheContinent.

AstheAnglicanBishop Frereadmits,inthe"DictionaryofEnglishChurch History,-itwasonlyduring thereignofQueenElizabeth I,afterEnglandhadbroken awayfromthePapacy,that Protestantsinventedthe name"RomanCatholics"for thosewhoremainedloyalto thePope. ButCatholicscannotbe expectedtoacceptsucha Protestantdescriptionof themselves,evenapartfrom theabsurdityoftheexpressionfromalanguagepoint ofview.

Q.:WouldyoukindlyexplaintheofficialChurch attitudetotheuseofthe word"Roman."

R.:Adiscussionofthis mattertookplaceatthe VaticanCouncilin1870.

TheCouncilofficiallyrepudiatedtheexpression "RomanCatholic"inwhich theword"Roman"wasused asaqualifyingadjective,as iflimitingtheword"Catholic:"forthatwouldbeequivalenttosaving:"thelimited unlimitedChurch."

Atthesametime,since theCatholicChurchhasits headquartersinRome,all Catholicsaresubjecttothe RomanSee.

Theheadquartersofthe CatholicChurchhasgotto besomewhereonthisearth.

HadSt.Peterremainedand diedinJerusalem,Jerusalem wouldhavebeenthoseheadquarters,thesuccessorsof St.Peterinthebishopricof Jerusaleminheritinghis office.

HadSt.PeterdiedatAntioch,Antiochwouldhave beentheheadquarters. Asamatteroffact,however,St.PeterwenttoRome anddiedthere;andthe BishopsofRome,ashissuccessors,inherithissupremacy.

TheVaticanCouncil, therefore,decreedthatthe fulltitleoftheCatholic Churchis"theHoly,Catholic,ApostolicandRoman Church."

Theword"Catholic" showsthatitistheuniversal Church;theword"Roman," separatedfromtheword "Catholic"sothatthereis nosuggestionof"Roman Catholic,"merelymeansthat theCatholicChurchasa matteroffacthasitsheadquartersinRome.

WeAustralianCatholics"Australians"fromanationalpointofview,and"Cathollies"fromareligiouspoint ofview-acknowledge,a;all otherCatholicsthroughout theworld,thesupremespiritualauthorityoftheBishop ofRomeassuccessorofSt. Peter,thechiefofthe Apostles.Ihopethatmakes thepositionclear.
