Dr.PaulinoGarcia,chairmanoftheNationalScience DevelopmentBoardofthe Philippines,alsotoldthe firstAsiancongressofCatholicphysiciansthatsolutionsbasedonartificial birthcontrol,sterilisationor abortionarebothimmoral and'impractical.

Doctorsfrom14countries tookpartinthecongress, whosethemewas"The CatholicPhysicianLooksat ModernAsia."Heldat SantoTomasUniversity here,themeetingdiscussed Catholicprinciplesinmedicalpracticeandeducation aswellasthepopulation problem.

AmessagefromPresident CarlosGarciaofthePhilip- pinescongratulatedthecongressonitschoiceoftheme.

Hesaid:

"Thethemeisnotonly well timelytaken,butspecially inthelightofthe encouragingmedicalprogressthatAsiahasachieved inrecentyears.Medical practice,liketheotherprofessions,movesalongandis guidedbyauniversalcode ofethicsthroughwhichthe sickandafflictedaretenderedthebestmedicalservicepossible.

"Ibelievethatifthiscode isfurtherbuttressedbya deepsenseofreligiononthe partofthemedicalpractitioner,hecouldthebetter servehisprofessionandhis brethren.Catholicnorms,I amcertain,canaidthe medicalprofessiontoserve theteemingmillionsofAsia ablyandwell."

TheAsiandoctorsresolvedattheirfirstcongress:

(1)Thatapracticalsolutiontotheproblemsof overpopulationwouldbea betterdistributionofpopulationthroughouttheworld.

(2)Thatartificialmeans ofcontrollingpopulation shouldbereplacedwith technologicalandproductive effortstocopewiththe needsofpopulationpressures.

(3)Thatthereshouldbe atleastoneCatholicmedicalschoolineverycountry, andthatintheabsenceof

(6)Thatthepracticeof therhythmmethodofbirth control,thoughpermissible inindividualcases,maynot beendorsedbyagovernmentinmeetingtheproblemofoverpopulation.

Inregardtothequestion ofoverpopulation,theCongressurged:

(1)Greateragricultural andindustrialproductivenessamongthehave-not nationsasasolutionto theirpopulationproblems.

(2)Moreconscientious practiceofcontinencein maritalrelations.

(3)Helpbyprogressive nationstolessfortunate neighboursinAsiatoovercomewidespreadpoverty.

Re-BirthTaughtBy ChristThroughBaptism

H.A.W.,Beechworth:Whydon'tyouteachaborn-again asJesusdid?

H.:TheCatholicChurch teachespreciselythat''bornagain"messagewhichJesus taught.

WhenJesussaidtoNicodemus:"Exceptamanbe bornagainofwaterandthe HolyGhost,hecannotenter intothekingdomofGod" (Jn.3:5),Hewasstressing thenecessityofourreceivingbymeansoftheSacramentofBaptismaprinciple ofspiritualandsupernatural lifeoverandabovethe merelynaturalprincipleof lifewereceivedfromour earthlyparents.

Everybirthmeansalife, andifwearetobeborn "again"or"anew,"itmeans thatwemustreceiveanadditionalandnewlife.That isthelifeofdivinegrace,as opposedtothestateofspiritualdeathcalledsin.

Yourideaofthe"bornagain"messageis,ofcourse, notthat.But,then,your

ideaisnotinaccordance withtheteachingsofChrist.

Youthinkoneis"born again"byconsciousconversion,byrepentanceofsin, theturningofthesoulto God,andthepersonalacceptanceofChrist.Butthat isnotenough. St.Paulwentthroughall that;yet,afterthat,received theSacramentofBaptism (Acts,9:18).Itwasthen thathewas"bornagain"of waterandtheHolyGhost.

Q.:Instead,youteachthe CatholicFaith,whichIs onlyformal.

R.:Didyouknowanything abouttheCatholicFaith,or wereyoutoreceiveinstructioninit,youwouldnot entertainthatfoolishidea.

EveryCatholicknows quitewellthat,whilstGod's graceandnewpowersare giventothesoulintheSacramentofBaptism,thereis

aseriousobligationnotto allowthattoremainamere formality.

Oneisobligedtokeepin astateofgrace,toyield one'sheartandmindand willtoChrist,toresisttemptationstosin,torepentof allfailurestodoso,andto makeeveryefforttogrowin thoseChristianvirtues whicharepropertothe newlifeinChrist.

There'snomereformality aboutallthat.

Q.:TheCatholicreligioncan nevercausesoulstobe bornagain.

R.:Itcannelhelpcausing soulstobebornagainwhenevertheSacramentofBaptismisadministered.

OurLordinstitutedBaptismforthatpurpose,andit isHewho,bymeansofthe Sacrament,communicates thenewlifeofgracetothe soulofthebaptisedperson.

Naturally,asthosebaptisedininfancygrowupand aretaughttheirreligion, theyareexpectedtolive theirreligion.

Anadultwhoisconverted beforereceivingBaptism,as wasSt.Paul,doesnottherebyenterintofullunion withChrist.Suchconversionisnotasubstitutefor Baptism.

ThereceptionoftheSacramentisstillnecessaryfor theimpressionofthetrue Christiancharacteruponthe soul,foradmissiontothe Churchasthemysticalbody ofChrist,andforlifeinthat Churchasamemberof Christ.

Q.:Jesussaid:"Exceptye bebornagain,yecannot entertheKingdomof ofHeaven."

R.:YouomittheexplanationgivenbyJesusHimself toNicodemus,whoasked howamancanbeborn again.

Jesusreplied:"Verily, verily,Isayuntothee:Exceptamanbebornagainof waterandoftheSpirit,he cannotenterintothekingdomofGod"(Jo.3:5,A.V.).

ItistheSacramentof Baptismwhichgivesthefull lifeofgrace,andmakesone a"born-again"memberof ChristandofHisChurch. TheActsoftheApostles tellsusofthe3,000convertedbySt.Peter'ssermon onthedayofPentecostand oftheirreceptionofBaptism,describingthemas havingbeenaddedtothe Church.

ManyProtestants,calling themselves"born-again" people,or"twice-born" people,onabasisoftheir purelysubjectiveandpersonalreligiousfeelings,are victimsofanindividualism quiteforeigntoNewTestamentteaching.

Theyhavenoideaofthe Church,noroftheworship ofGodprescribedbyChrist, andtheydispensethemselves inawholesalefashionfrom manyverydefiniteduties requiredbytheChristian religion.

Andwithallthis,thereis aconstantdangertothem, notonlyofanextraordinary self-complacency,butofthe pridewhichthanksGod theyarenotliketherestof men.

Such"born-again"ideas arenotonlyfalse,butmost deceptiveanddangerousto thosewhoarethevictimsof them.

WhyDoExtremesOfPoverty, RichesExistInSomeLands?

Q.:Iaskbecauseaneighboursayshebelievesin theMillenniumorthousandyears'reignofChrist onearth,forwhichhe quotestheBookofRevelation.

R.:St.John,inRevelation ortheApocalypse,chapter 20,speaksofChristreigning forathousandyears,but thepassageishighlysymbolical,andtheexpression "athousandyears"iscertainlynotintendedliterally andnumerically. Itrepresentsfiguratelya longperiod,andrightlyappliedtothewholeperiodOf theChristiandispensation, extendingfromtheIncarnationtilltheendofthe world. Aliteralinterpretationis opposedtothatwhichthe wholeoftherestofthebook demands.

Q.:Cansuchadoctrinebe disprovedfromtheBible itself?

Moreover,ChristHimself said,inMatt.22:30,thatin theresurrection"theyshall neithermarrynorbemarried,butshallbeasthe angelsofheaven."

InthatreplytotheSadducees,Heindicatedthat angelicortotallydifferent conditionsfromthoseofthis materialworldwillfollow immediatelyuponthegen eralresurrection. Athousandyears'reign onearthisaltogetherexcludedbythatclearteachingofChristHimself.

Q.:NothingIcansayseems toconvincemyfriend.

R.:Inthatcase,youwill havetoagreetodiffer,re stridingyourselvestothe discussionofothersubjects.

St.John'smysteriousreferencetothe"thousand years"is,however,easily explained.Theaccountof creationinGenesismade usesymbolicallyofsixdays forthecompletionofthe workofcreation,the seventhdaybeingfigurativelyofthesabbathorrest.

ElsewhereintheOld Testamentwearetoldthat a"thousandyears"arebut asadayinthesightofGod.

St.John,intheApocalypse,usessimilarfigurativelanguage.

Afterthelongpreparation forthecomingoftheMessiah,"God'sday"dawned withtheIncarnation,and thewholeoftheChristian dispensationfromthentill theendoftheworldwas describedbySt.Johnas that"day,"a"thousand years"inthesightofGod, thehistoryoftheChurch establishedbyChristinthis world-theChurchHeregularlydescribedasthe"kingdomofheaven"inHis parablesconcerningit.

ModernTurkey,anation one-thirdthesizeofW.A., hasapopulationof26million,98percentofwhom areMoslems.Christians numberapproximately 250,000,ofwhom18,288are Catholics.Foratimeafter thefoundingoftherepublic, theestablishmentoftiesbetweenthatcountryandthe Vaticanwasmadedifficult byitsextremesecularistic policy,whichdiscrimnated againstbothMoslemsand Ohristians.

FollowingWorldWarI, Turkey'sfirstPres!deat, KemalAtaturk,oustedthe sultans,whointhrs16th Centuryhadtakenthetitle ofsupremereligiousleader cfallMoslemsbyassuming theofficeoftheindepen dentcaliphs.PresidentAtaturkabolishedthecaliphate andalsoattemptedtostampoutallMoslemandother religiousinfluencesinhis efforttosetupamodern bccularState.

Duringthe1920's,however,PresidentAtaturkor-

deredPrimeMinisterIsmet Inonu,wholaterbecame President,todiscussthe questionofrelationswith theHolySeewithArchbishopErnestoFilippi,then ApostolicVisitatorinTurkey''slargestcity,Istanbul (Constantinople). In1950TurkishForeign MinisterNecmeddinSadak wenttoPariswherehemet ArchbishopRoncalli,then ApostolicNunciotoFrance. HetoldtheNunciothathis governmenthadbeenvery closetoafinaldecisionto establishrelationswiththe Vatican,butwasprevented fromdoingsobyitselection defeat.

Communism'sFoe

Thegovernmentthatsucceededitwasheadedby PresidentCelalBayar,who wasreceivedinaudience lastyearbyPopeJohn.In 1951hisgovernmentwas urged-byawomandeputy inParliament,NagliThabar ofIstanbul,totaketheinitiativeinestablishingties withtheHolySeebecause "theVaticanistheNumber 1enemyofcommunism."At thattimeForeignMinister FundKopruluannounced thatneg'otiationswerebeing conductedtowardsthat end.

AyearlateranothermemberofParliament,Dr.VahramBayarofIstanbul,again proposedVatican-Turkish ties,sayingthat"Turkey pursuesanddefendsthe sameprinciplesofcivilisationastheHolySee."

Earlier-in1949-the Istanbulnewspaper,Corn huriyet,hadalsotakennote oftheVatican'sbattle againstcommunismand urgedthatdiplomaticrelationswiththeHolySeebe establishedbyTurkey, threatenedonitsbordersby theSovietUnion.Thepaper alsopointedoutthatrelationshadbeenestablished betweentheHolySeeand otherMiddleEastnations andstressedtheVatican's prestigeininternationalaffairs.

In1957,thenewspaper, Tan,urgedthegovernment tosendarepresentativeto theVatican."ByrecognisingtheHolySee,"itsaid, "Turkeywouldshowthe Westernworldthatreligious considerationsarenolonger takenintoaccountbythe State."
