TheologyOfLayApostolate

SpeakingattheChristianSocialWeekatSt.ThomasMoreCollegelast theRev.E.O'SullivanO.P.showedhowtheReformationresultedina tiveaboutthepositionofthelaityintheChurch.Hestressedthepurpose tolate:topreparepeopleforthefullSacramentallifeinChrist.

InhisaddressFather O'SullivansaidthatthedevelopmentofthelayapostolateintheChurchoverthe last30yearsappearedto mostpeopleasameretemporaryreliefmeasurebecauseoftheshortageof priests;butsuchwasnotat allthecase.

Toadegreetheshortage ofpriestsmighthaveoccasionedthedevelopment,but themostimportantcauseof thatdevelopmenthadbeen thegrowthintherealisation ofthemannerinwhicheven thelaitysharedinthe PriesthoodofChrist.

Heresiesalwaystravelled inpairs;asoneerrordevelopedoutsidetheChurch, anerroroftheoppositeextremewasgivenatacitacceptancewithintheChurch.

Chestertondescribedthe Churchasbeinglikea charioteerdrivingrapidly overunevenground,whoin ordertoretainhisbalance hasfirsttoleanononefoot andthenoverontothe other.

ReactionToHeresy

AstheChurchcondemned oneheresy,theoppositeextremewastakenforgranted tobetrue.TheChurchhad tocondemnProtestantsfor sayingthattheBiblealone wasthefountofrevelation; asaconsequence,Catholics becamedistrustfulofthe Bible.Thankfully,suchan attitudehadnowbeenadequatelycorrectedbythe greatbiblicalrevivalwithin theChurch.

Regardingthetheologyof thelayapostolate,somelabouredunderthedifficulties ofafalsereactiontoProtestantism.Luther,sincehe deniedtheMasswasa sacrifice,taughtthatall Christianswerepriests,and could,iftheyfeltthecall, goaboutpreaching. No specialtrainingwasneeded, nospecialpower;therewas nothingleftforaminister todobuttopreach.Extremesinthatsortofthing ledtosuchreligiousvagariesastheHolyRollers andtheQuakers.

Again,Catholicreaction wassosevereastobeguilty ofcuttingoffitsnoseto spiteitsface.Sovehement wereCatholicsinasserting thattheonlytruepriesthood camefromthesacramentof HolyOrdersthattheywere ledtoneglectadoctrine whichwasveryclearly taughtbytheChurchinall generations-thatthefaithfulbytheirbaptismalso sharedinthepriesthoodof Christ-adoctrinewhich hadbeenrecoveredtothe ChurchbythegreatencyclicallettersofPiusXIIonthe MysticalBodyandtheliturgy.

ShareInPriesthood

"ByreasonoftheirbaptismChristiansareinthe MysticalBodyandbecome byacommontitlemembers ofChristthePriest;bythe "character"whichisgraven upontheirsoulstheyare appointedtotheworshipof God,andtherefore,accordingtotheircondition,they shareinthepriesthoodof ChristHimself."

Now,thatmightseemto bearatheracademicpoint, butitspracticalconsequenceinthelifeofthe Churchhadbeenfirstlyto excludethelaityfromactive participationintheliturgy forfullthreehundredyears lestanyofthemshouldget ideasaboutthemselvesthat

they,too,werepriests.

Secondlyithadledtoa suspiciousattitudetowards anylaymanwhodaredtrespassonsuchanexclusively clericalpreserveasthe preachingoftheFaith.

AndsoforallthosecenturiessincetheReformation theChurchhadbeendeprivedofherrightarm. Infact,Lutherwasinpart right;everyChristianisa priestandeveryChristian shouldtakepartinthework ofpreaching-butneitheris trueinthesenseinwhich Lutherexplainedthem.

EssentialDifference

Forhim,everyonewasa priestbecauseeveryone couldsayhisprayers,and thatwasallhethoughta ministercoulddo.Inthe samewayhesaidthatanyonecouldpreachbecause theHolyhostcouldinspire anyone,andwewereall equallyinfallible,orlackingininfallibility.

Now,allwewhosharein thelifeofChristdoalso shareinHispoweraspriest andking.Thatiswhatthe baptismalcharacterdoesfor us.Bybaptismwewere giventhepowertoofferthe Massawedon'tjustattend Mass,weoffertheMass.

Therewasanessential differencebetweenanunbaptisedperson'sattendance atMassandtheirs.Hecould sayhisprayers,butthey couldofferChrist'slifein sacrificetotheFather,

XXIIIisaspeakerwhosediscoursesare"real andpropertalksandconversations."Thisis theconclusionofCountGiuseppedallaTorre, 75-year-oldeditorofL'OsservatoreRomano, VaticanCitydoily.

InanarticleMr.dalla Torrerecalledthevarious speakingstylesofthefive popesunderwhomhehas workedinthepast40 years.

HerecallsPopeSt.Pius Xasa"clearandflowing speakerwhoestablishedimmediatecontactwithhis listenerthroughhisserene expressionandhisharmoniousvoice,whichwaslike thatofapersonwhohad studiedandlovedsinging."

ThesaintlyPope'ssuccessor,PopeBenedictXV, camefromadiplomaticlife which,accordingtotheeditor,"evenwhenitistalkative,andindeedprecisely then,doesnotsayanything."

BenedictXVlearned "withdifficulty"todeliver sermons,CountdallaTorre reports.Theeditorrecalls thePope'sgreatphrasein hisappealtowarring nationsin1915-"Nations donotdie!"-asanexample'ofPopeBenedict'sgrasp of"thefundamentalpoints ofthatinternationallaw,of thosecivilrelationsamong modernpeople,ofwhichhe wasnotonlyamasterbut alsoapioneer."

PiusXIwasanotherman notaccustomedtopublic speaking,CountdallaTorre recalls,

PopePlusXI

"Oneeveningreceiving meattheepiscopalpalace (inMilan),hehadlosthis voice.Hemanagedtotell methatthreespeechesduringthedayhadbeenenough totirehimandreducehim tothestateinwhichIfound him."

YetPiusXIlearnedto becomeagoodpublicspeaker,althoughhewasinclin-

edtoskipallliterarypretentionsandsamplesof erudition."Hewasmore inclinedtorepeathimself; heneverdroppedasubject untilhefeltthathehad madeitclearandprecise."

TheCountreportsthat PopePiusXII"founditextremelyeasytomemorise hisspeecheswhichwere writtenandpreparedwith greatcare.Pronouncingthem,PiusXIIwouldvisualisethewholetextofthe speechinhismind,every line,everypage,everycorrection."

PopePiusXIIhada habitoflookingstraight aheadasthoughlookingat alectern."Thishadatendencytomonotony,alsobecausethetoneofthevoice remaineduniform."

However,theCountadds, PiusXII'seffectivenesswas based"ontheverypowerfulsubstanceofthought,on howhepenetratedandexhaustedinamasterlyway themostvariedanddifficultsubjects."

PopeJohn'sdiscourses are"realandpropertalks andconversations,"theedi-

PopePiusXII

fornotes.Hesaystheyare extremelyconvincingnot onlybecausethesubjects springfromasentimentand fromadeeplyfeltconvictionofcharity,butalsobecauseofthePope'sfriendly, communicativeandaffable wayofexpressinghimself.

CountdallaTorresays thePopeexpresseshimself withoutseverity,without wordsofscorn.Hewishes todrawcloseandnotto causeirritation,towin peopleoverandnottostir reactionsandrancour,the Countconcludes.

ChurchTeachingsCannot

ContradictThoseOfOurLord

A.J.G.,Bathurst:IbecameaCatholicby myowndesire,beingbaptisedwhenIwas 27.Thereare,however,manythingsinthe Catholicreligionwhichappeartocontradict theteachingsofJesus,andthesetroubleme greatly.

R.:Onewhounderstandsthefullmeaningoffaithin intheCatholicreligionknows,notonlythatitdoesnot, busthatitcouldnotcontainanythingopposedtothe teachingsofJesus.

ForJesusHimselfestablishedtheCatholicChurch andsentittoteachalltruthinHisname,promisingit Hispresenceandprotectionagainsterrorforalltime. ItisourveryfaithinChristwhichincludesfaithinHis Churchalso.

Shouldwefinditdifficulttoreconcilesometeaching orpracticeintheCatholicChurchwithwhatweread intheBible,wedonotforamomentthinkthatthe Churchmightbewrong.

Farfrombeingtroubledgreatly.wearenottroubled atallfromthatpointofview.Wejustknowthatthe Churchcannotbewrong.

Theexplanationmustbe,therefore,thatwehavenot rightlyunderstoodwhatwehavereadintheBible. Butthatshouldneitherastonishnordisturbus.

Aknowledgeofourownlimitations,andindeedpast experience,shouldmakeuswellawareofourliability togetmistakenideas.Andordinaryhumilityshould saveusfromthepridewhichisdisturbedbythemere thoughtthatwemightbewrong.Butnow,letustryto clearupthedifficulty.

Q.:Firstly,apriestiscalled"Father,"yetChristsaid: "Callnooneyourfatheruponearth;foroneisyour fatherwhoisinheaven."

R.:OurLorddidnotintendthosewordstobetaken intheirabsolutelyliteralsenseastheystand.'

IfHedid,thenHewouldhavecontradictedHimself, forintellingthestory boysay:"Iwillgotomyfatherandsay,'Father,I havesinnedagainstheavenandbeforethee.'"

HowwillyoureconcileHismakingtheboycall someonehisfatheruponearth,ifHestrictlymeant: "Callnooneyourfatheruponearth"?What,then,did OurLordintend?

HewasstressingGod'srighttotakethefirstplace inourlives.GodisourSupremeFather;andnoduties toanyfatheronearthmustbeallowedtocomebefore ourdutiestoHim.

Inotherwords,wemustnotregardanyoneasfather onearthinsuchawayastoexcludethehigherclaims ofGoduponusasourFatherinheaven.

Butthatdoesnotforbidustocalloneonearthour fatherintherightsenseoftheword,whetherfrom theordinaryandnaturalpointofview,orthespiritual pointofview.

St.PaulwrotetotheEphesiansthatGodistheFather "ofwhomallpaternity(orfatherhood)inheavenand earthisnamed."Thatsupposesafatherhoodonearth.

AndSt.PaulwrotetotheCorinthinansthathewas theirspiritualfatherbecause,hesaid,"inChristJesus, bythegospel,Ihavebegottenyou."

Ofcourse,toclearupone'sideasinthismatterisnot tomakeussuddenlylikepracticeswewerebroughtup todislike:andwemustbepatientwithourselves,contenttogrowgraduallyoutofoldwaysintonewways. Butweshouldnotallowourselvestofallintoan idolatryofmerewords.

Inthearmy,Protestantclergymenservingaschaplains,whowouldquotethetext"Callnomanfather onearth"againsttheCatholicpracticeofaddressing apriestas"Father,"wereonlytoopleasedtobecalled "Padre."But"Padre"isonlytheSpanishandItalian for"Father."

Foryourself,it'sonlyaquestionofgettingusedto callingapriest"Father,"andallwillbewell.

WasOurLordEverInIndia?

Reader,Granville:IsitcertainthatJesuswasbornatBethlehem, andnotatNazareth?

R.:Yes.

Q.:C.J.Cadoux.aCongregationalistminister. saysinhis"Lifeof Jesus,"Pelicanbooks, thatitcomesasapainfulshocktomanyChristianstolearnthatJesus wasprobablybornat NazarethandnotatBethlehem.

R.:Itissomethingthat hesays"probably,"and doesnotclaimcertainty.In reality,hisopinionisnot evenprobable. BothSt.MatthewandSt. Lukesaydefinitelythat JesuswasbornatBethlehem.Rationalistssaythat St.MatthewandSt.Luke werebothwrong,anddeliberatelyinventedthebirth ofJesusatBethlehem,to makeitfitinwithOldTestamentprophecies. Buttheyhavenota single,validargumentin supportofsuchacharge againsttheintegrityofthe twoevangelists.

C.J.Cadoux,Protestant clergymanthoughhewas, fellfortheargumentsofthe rationalists.HisfellowProtestantbiblicalscholars, eventhe"liberals"and "modernists"amongthem, rejectCadoux'stheorynot onlyasbeingunfounded, butasbeingdirectlyopposedtotheevidence.

Q.:Cadouxsaysthat,ifthis isso,wemustpartwith thepicturesqueChristmas storiesoftheangelsand shepherdsatBethlehem, ofthestable,ofthevisit oftheMagi,andalsoof theflightintoEgyptand themassacreoftheholy innocents.

R.:Ashisconjectureis nottrue,there'snoneedto worryaboutthedrastic consequencesheimagines.

Q.:CanItbesaidthatthere arenoreferencestothe lifeofJesusintheGospels fromtheageof tothe ageof30?

R.:Notabsolutely.St. LuketellsusthatJesus wentdowntoNazareth,and hewassubjecttoJoseph andMary(Lk.2:51).

TheGreekwordusedby St.LukeimpliesthatHe wascontinuouslysubjectto them.In4:16,theevangelistreferstoNazareth,saying:"WhereHewas brounghtup."

Otherreferencesinthe GospelsshowthatthevillagepeopleatNazareth werequitefamiliarwith Hislifein'theirmidstduringHisgrowingyears.

Q.:Wouldnotsuchsilence bearoutthecontention that,betweentheagesof 12and30,Hewentto India,laterpreaching IdeasHehadlearned fromtheBuddhists?

R.:No.Thereisnotrace ofevidencethatHewentto India. WhenHebeganpreachingattheageof30,the peoplewereastonished, saying:"Howcomethis manbythiswisdom isnotthisthecarpenter's son?",(Matt.13:54). TheyknewHimandHis relativesandfriends;and thatHehadbeenrestricted tothesameenvironment andcircumstances. Noonedreamedofsaying:"That'seasy.Don't

WhetherSittingOrStanding J.E.T.,Engadine:Was Peterelectedbyballot?

R.:No.Hewasdirectly appointedbyChristwho hadsaidtohim;"Thouart "Kepha"anduponthis "Kepha"Iwillbuildmy Church andIwillgive totheethekeysofthekingdomofheaven."

Grantedthedivineinstitutionoftheofficeconfer-. reduponSt.Peter,later successorsofSt.Peterare electedtothatofficeby ballot,evenasMatthiaswas electedbytheapostles themselvestoshareintheir ownapostolicoffice.No problemarisesoverthe modeofelectionofthe PopesassuccessorsofSt. Peter.

Q.:ThePopeisinfallible, andthenonlyinfallible, whenheissittingonthe ThroneofPeter:or,as youputit,speaking'ex cathedra."

R.:TheLatinterm"ex cathedra"means"fromthe chair." Theexpressionisused metaphoricallyasasymbol ofteaching-authority.In

ordertospeakwithinfallibleauthority,thePopehas notnecessarilytobesitting onanymaterialthroneor chair, TheVaticanCouncilexplainedthingsclearlywhen itsaid:"ThePopeisinfalliblewhenhespeaks'ex cathedra,'thatis.when exercisinghisofficeandin virtueofhissupremeTwostoneauthority,hedefines adoctrineconcerningfaith ormorals,tobeheldbythe wholeChurch."Hecoulddo thatstandingupjustaswelt assittingdown!

Q.:Thisbeingso,doyou believethatPs.47:3-8is adirectantithesisofthe papacy?

R.:Theseversescallupon allpeopletojoininpraisingGodasthesupreme King,notonlyofIsrael,but ofallthenationsofthe world.

Thatisnomoreopposed tothepapacybecausewe acceptthePope'sauthoritativeteachingwhenhe speaksfromthe"chairof Peter,"thanitwasopposedtotheteachingofChrist Himself.

yourememberhowHewent offtoIndia?"Andcertainly BuddhistJesusneitherpreached doctrines,norderivedHisteachingsfrom Buddhisminanyshapeor form. Hesaidsimply:"MydoctrineisnotMine,butHis thatsentMe."(Jn.7:16).To thedisciplesHesaid:"All thingswhatsoeverIhave heardofMyFather,Ihave madeknowntoyou."(Jn. 15:15).

Q.:Isthereanyessential differencebetweenBuddhismandChristianity?

R.:Thereisaradical oppositionbetweenthgrn, makingthementirelydifferentandirreconcilablereligions. Thebasicprincipleof Christianityisthatlifeis good,andthegiftofGod. Christdeclared:"Iamthe Life,"andsaid:"Ihave comethattheymayhave life,andhaveitmore abundantly."

ForBuddhism,lifeisan evil,andoureffortsshould betoemancipateourselves fromit,cuttingdown"reincarnations"untilatlast thereisnofurtherrenewal ofourmiserableexistence.

Q.:DidnotaRussian travellerclaimthatthe chiefLamaofamonasteryinTibetshowedhint manuscriptrecordsthat ChristhadcometoIndia attheageof13,andhad spentmanyyearsthere, studyingBuddhism?

R.:ARussiantraveller namedNicholasNotovitch publishedinFrenchwhat heclaimedtobeatranslationofatranslationfrom theoriginalPalidocuments, givenhimbyTibetanmonks in1887.
