Ofthefreenations,Americaisfullyawaketothe Sovietstratagem.Russiansalestotheworldatlarge havegrownfrom250milliondollarsinthelate1930's tomorethan4,000milliondollarsin1958.Mr.John Diefenbaker,PrimeMinisterofCanada,saidin1958: "TradehasbecomeamajorweaponintheCommunist worldoffensive.FirstitwastheU.S.S.R.,andnowRed ChinahasjoinedinanAsiantradeonslaught,intended tocapturemarkets,andwithandthroughthemthe mindsoffreemen.TheCommunistdriveisdesignedto underminetheeconomicstrengthofthefreeworld."

ThePontiff,inawarm discoursetomembersofthe diplomaticcorps,paidtributetohisownparents, sayingthatinthemhewas shown''thegreatrealitiesof theChristianfamily"and forthishewouldnever ceasetogivethankstoGod.

TheHolytoldthediplomatshewouldputaside thefactthattheywereambassadorsandministers and,instead,wouldaddress themas"representativesof thefathersandmothersof theworld."

"Butwhentheburning dartofcharitypenetratedherheartmoredeeply,then sheknewnoothermeasure thantheperfectimitationof Himwhooutofloveforus becamemananddiedonthe Cross."

HenotedthatMother Setonhad10,000spiritual heirsintheSistersof Charity,whichshefounded, andthattheycarryonthe samesortofcharityastheir foundressintheserviceof Godandofsouls.

ThePopecomparedthe twoServantsofGod,Capu- chinBrotherJeremyofWallachiaandMotherSeton, whosedecreesofvenerabilityhehadjustheard read.

Hesaidthat"bothofthese virtuesareneededbythe modernworld,dissatisfied becauseofeverymannerof complicationandconfusion, butaboveallfeverishwith egoismwhichisacontradictionofthetranquiland fruitfullifeandofhuman andChristianfraternity."

Anditisnotofmuchuse goingonuntilyouhave settledtheproblemasto whethertheBiblestudied foroneselfismeanttobe theauthenticsourceof Christianknowledge,orthe authoritativeteachingofthe CatholicChurch.

Again,theBible-onlyProtestantapproachesthesubjectinthewrongway,and itshouldbepointedoutto himthatGodnevermeant Scripturealonetobethe ruleoffaith.

Itwouldbeamostuncertainguide.foritinevitablyleadsmentodifferent conclusions;anditwouldbe inadequateforonlyscattered fragmentsofthethreeyears' teachingChristgavetothe Apostlesandcommanded themtopreachthroughout theworld,arecontainedin theNewTestament.

Ifacriticwon'tacceptthe authorityoftheCatholic Churchforhisbeliefs,that's hisloss.Catholics,ofcourse, arealwaysfreetoreadthe Biblewithfaithanddevotion,eventhoughitdoesnot containthefullnessofChristian.truth.

TheCatholicreligiondoes notceasetoberightbecause someindividualCatholic doesnotknowenoughof scripture,theology,history, philosophyandscience,to putupanadequatedefence ofit.

Thatmustalwaysbekept inmindinsuchdiscussions.

Thissupposessomething morethanmerelyahigh degreeoforganisation.

Q.:Dr.KennthWalker,in hisbook"TheDiagnosis ofMan,"saysthattheold ideaofhiddenlife-principleaddedtomatterhas beenabandoned. R.:Hehadnoscientific justificationforspeakingin soabsoluteafashion.There arefirst-ratescientistswho havenotabandonedthat idea.

CorneliaConnelly'sHeroicSacrifice

(Continuedfromlastweek)

ThroughitallCornelia actedwithhercuriouscombinationofplacidityand gaiety,inspiteofthefact thatshewasagainexpectingachild.Whathersister Maryhadsaidthreeyears beforewasstilltrue:"They are,andalwayshavebeen, thehappiestcouplethat everbreathed."

Forfivemonthstheyworriedoverwhattheyshould do,'whilePierceenthusiasticallyexplainedhisconversiontoanyonewillingto "tentohim.

Andthen,inJune,1838, hewasaskedbytherector ofSt.CharlesatGrand CoteauinLouisiana,to comeandteach.Heneeded aprofessorofEnglish,he wrote,andhadheardofthe Connellys.Gratefully, Pierceacceptedtheoffer.

TheConnellysarrivedat GrandCoteauonJune24, 1839,andmovedintoasmall bungalowonthethickly woodedconventgrounds.

Amonthlatertheirseconddaughterandfourth child,MaryMagdalen,was born.Shewasweakand ailing,andlivedonlyafew weeks.HerdeathleftCorneliamentallyandphysicallydepressed.

Butherresiliencewasalwaysamazing,andherrecoverywasswift.There was,asusual,muchtodo. Sheranherhousewithone maid,madeherchildren's clothesandtaughtand playedwiththem,besides givingmusiclessonsinthe convent.

Thedayspassedquickly andinpeace.Gradually, withPierceawayallday, Corneliafellintothequiet, meticulousroutineofthe nuns.

~Romehadexcitedher,but here,inthisquietcountry convent,shebecameslowly andthoroughlyacquainted withthepracticeandpreceptsofherfaith,andwas fascinatedbythem.

Shehadreadagreatdeg, especiallySt.Ignatius, whosebold,clearstrokes enchantedher.Shesurprised herspiritualdirectorbyembracingwhathecalled"the thirddegreeofhumility"avoluntarypreferencefor suffering,hardshipand humilitywheneverpossible.

Pierce,too,wasreading avidly,andtogetherthey begantheirpersonalsearch forpersonalsanctity.When Piercereturnedintheevenings,"wereadtogether,"as hewrote,"alwaysendingup withachapterofthe'ImitationofChrist.'"

ThenumberoftheConnellys'convertsduringthe yearsatGrandCoteauwas impressive.Theyear1840 claimedCornelia'ssister Mary,whowasfollowednot muchlaterbyAdeline.

Thenextyearadded

GeorgePeacockandJohn Connellytothelist,tobe followedayearlaterby John'swife.

Corneliaspentagreatdeal oftimewiththethreechildren,Mercer,Adyand PrettyBoy(JohnHenry), whowasthedarlingofthe family,adventurous,lightheartedandgay.

Corneliaworriedabout beingtoohappyatGrand Coteau.OnedayinJanuary, 1840,whenshewasstanding inthegardenwatchingJohn Henry,itseemedtoherthat shewastoofortunate,that herloveforGodhadmeant nopropersacrifice,had broughtwithitnospecial demands.

Inamomentofgenerosity,sherecalledlater,she askedGodtoaskofherany sacrificeHechose.Itisnot oftenthatthecasualupliftingofone'sheartistakenso literally.

Twenty-fourhourslater herlittlesonlaydying.

HehadrunintothegardenwithahugeNewfoundlanddog.Theyhadplayed together,andsomehow,betweenthegood-natured clumsinessofthedogand theunsteady'limbsofthe littleboy,JohnHenryhad fallen,orbeenpushed,into amaplesugarboiler.He tookalongtimetodie.For 43hours,scaldedandin agony,helayinhismother's arms.

HerDiary

"Atearlydawnonthe feastofthePurification,"she wrotelater,"hewastaken intothetempleoftheLord." Threewordsinherdiaryrecordthenight:"Sacrifice! Sacrifice!Sacrifice!" Itwasanageofnotetaking,ofresolutionsand counsels,oflong,careful introspections.Clergymen, soldiers,politiciansand housewiveskeptdiaries.

ButCornelia'sspiritual notesaredifferent.Theyare haphazardjottingsinaneat script,sometimesoneline, sometimesseveralpages carefullyfilled,sometimes severalpagesleftempty. Theyareshortandpractical, ashorthandofexperience andcontemplation. Atthistimeinherlifeshe waswriting:"Ourselvesthe worstenemiestothosewe lovenaturally,becausewe donothelpthemtomortify themselves":and,fromSt. TheresaofAvila,"One single'BlessedbeGod'in adversityisofmoreavail thanathousandthanksgivingsinadayofprosperity."

Preoccupied,perhaps,with herowngriefandbusywith MercerandAdyandthe routineofherhousekeeping, Corneliadidnotnoticethat Piercewasbecomingrestless.

Hissentimentswerestill sincereandhispietyimpressive,buthefeltrestricted andlimitedatGrandCoteau. Hehadbecomeaccustomed tobeingthecentreofattention;itwashardforhimto beanamateuramongprofessionals,alaymanamong thepriestsatGrandCoteau.

InOctober,withcharacteristicabruptness,hetold Corneliathathewantedto becomeapriest.Shewas expectingtheirfifthchild.

Theywerewalkinghome fromMassonSundaymorningwhenheopenedthesubject.Shehadhadnoforeboding,nosuspicionofany kind.

Pierce'sDemand

Heexplainedtoherthe formalitiesofapplyingto Romeforaseparation,and theprobabilitythatshe wouldberequiredtoenter aReligiousOrderifhewere tobeeligibleforordination.

Inthemeantime,hetold her,theymustlivetogether asbrotherandsisterin ordertotesthisvocation andtheirendurance.Ifthey thenfeltconfidentthatit wasGod'swill,theycould pursuetheircausewith Rome.

Thiswasnothrillingcall tosacrifice,butasober, frighteningdemand.IfCorneliarefusedhimshemight bestandinginthewayof hispropervocation.Shewas strickenanddisbelieving.

Amongthespiritualdirectorswhotoldhermost stronglythatPiercewasa mancutoutforgreatthings, amanapart,wasBishop Flaget,theirfriendandadmirerformanyyears.

TheBishophadlivedallhis lifewiththeburningdesire tobecomeaTrappistmonk; tohimthespecialvocation seasadelicate,important callthatmustbeheard.He assuredCornelia,inspiteof hertears,thatbothPierce andshewerespecially called.

InMarchtheiryoungest son,Frank,wasborn.Corneliamusthavefoundrelict' inthenormaldemanding Abandonment affectionsofthebaby.Some, short,jerkynotesinoneof herspiritualdiariesareall thatremainofthestruggle thatwentonwithinher.

Inoneplace,arguingwith herself,shewroteunder "Pros":"Itisfortheglory ofGodthatweshouldsave oursouls.Ifwecansave

Theprayerwasanswered. Withabrevityandbrisknessthatwerelatertypical, shewrote:"Examinedvocation.Decided.Simplicityconfidence Iabandon withoutreservealltoThy will."

St.VincentdePaulInauguratedModernSeminary

Whenwerealisethatwehave,inAustralia,onesecularpriestfor etgerythousandCatholicpeople (inroundnumbers),andagroupof eightseminaries,trainingabout1,400studentstoreinforcethese priestsyearbyyear,wemaytakeitforgrantedthatthiswasalways thenormalstateofaffairsintheChurch.But,infact,theseminariesoreacomparativelylateinstitution.

IntheearlyChurch,the Apostles,andfollowing them,theBishops,selected somehelperswhomthey trainedthemselvesintheir ownhouses,ordaining prieststhosewhomthey foundfittedforit.

Intimeschoolswere formedattheBishops' CathedralsandatthemonasteriesoftheReligious Orders,wheretheeducation andformationoftheclergy wasgivenstepbystep. Fromtheseschoolscame thenumberlesssaintsof thosetimes.

Theseschoolsdeveloped intotheuniversities,andit wasnaturallypartoftheir universalteachingtogive coursesinphilosophyand theology.

Sincetheseuniversities werescatteredthroughout Europe,itwastherethat studentsdidtheirstudies forthepriesthooduntilthe 16thcentury.

However,thosewhohad thepreliminaryschooling andthefinancialmeansto followauniversitycourse werefewinproportionto theneeds;consequentlythe ranksoftheclergyhadto besupplementedwithothers whohadnottheseadvantages.

Ithasbeensaidthatafter :heplagueoftheBlack Death,whichravagedEuropeinthe14thcentury

(morethanhalfthepeople ofBritain,andmorethan two-thirdsoftheclergyin someplacesdiedfromit), thenumberofpriestswas solowthatitbecamenecessarytoordainanyone judgedtohavethegoodwilltoundertaketheir duties.

Theywouldhecoached foramonthortwo,but couldlackanysolidreligiousspirit. Thisisapossibleexplanationofthedeclineinnumberandqualityoftheclergy inthe15thand16thcenturies,andoftheconsequent unreadinessofthepeople towithstandthefeverof heresy.

Moreover,theclerical statehadbeeninvadedin thosetimesbynomineesof thekings,whocouldappointtheirfriendstomany positionsinrewardforservicesrendered;andfortunehunterswereattractedby theavailableincomestoofficeswithintheChurch.

AbluntrebukeofFather AdrianBourdoise,acoreformeroftheclergywith St.VincentdePaul,'gives anestimateofhistime: "Thereisonequestion whichthoseofferedaparish hardlyeverfailtoask: 'Whatisitworth?'Andto themthisisabouttheonly answer,namely,thatit couldbethepriceofhel

forthosewhoasksuch questions,showinganavariciousmindratherthanzeal forthesalvationofthe soulsoftheparish."

Atanyrate,atthegreat CouncilofTrent,inthe16th century,theChurchdecidedthatrecruitingforthe clergymustberestoredby somethingliketheold Cathedralschools,which weretobeestablishedby eachBishopinhisdiocese.
