BishopWith150'Wives' EndsGrandMissionLife

Oneofthemostremarkablemissionary careersinthiscountryclosedonJuly12with thedeathinSydneyofBishopFrancisXavier Gsell,M.S.C.,formerBishopofDerwin,at theageof87years.

BorninAlsace-Lorraine in1873,thedeceased BishopenteredtheMissionariesoftheSacred Heart.

HewassenttoAustralia asayoungpriestof24years andforthreeYearstaught dogmatictheologyandscripturetotheseminariansof hiscongregationatKensington,Sydney.

Volunteeringforthemissions,he.waspostedtoPort Moresbyin1900.When,in 1906,theareawasentrusted totheMissionariesofthe SacredHeart,FatherGsell wassest4toDarwinasAdminstratorApostolic. Hisfirstinterestwasin educationandwithtwo Brotherswhomhehad broughtfromNewGuinea, hehelpedbuildaconvent.

Tothis,threeyearsafter hisarrival,cametheSisters oftheMissionariesofOur LadyoftheSacredHeart.

Ofequalconcernwerethe aborigineswhosemiserable triballawsonmarriagedistressedhim.

Youngnativegirlswere betrothedatbirthtoold men.Afterintensivestudy oftriballawandcustoms, FatherGsellevolvedaplan toliberatethegirls.

Undernativelawitwas possibleto"purchase"wives. FatherGsellenteredinto thebargaining.

Withtea,flour,sugar,etc., he"purchased"younggirls fromtheirprospectivehusbandsandsettledthemat theBathurstIslandMission, whichheestablished60 milesnorthofDarwinin 1911.

Herethegirlswerefree tomarryoftheirownchoice inlateryears.Asaresult, thenativepopulationceased todecline.

Itisnotcertainhowmany youngnativegirlswere "purchased,"butBishop Gsellgotthetitleof"The Bishopwith150wives."

Presidingoverthelargest bishopricintheworldand theoldestinAustralia,extiptiding1,000milessouth VieyendAliceSprings,and includingThursdayIsland, BishopGselltravelledfor days-byhorse,camel,canoe andonfoot-toreachoutlyingdistricts.

In1938FatherGsellwas namedandconsecrated BishopofDarwin.

St.Mary'sChurchwasextensivelydamaged,windowless,withroofandwalls piercedwithshrapnel.

Forallthatthehighaltar

andBishop'sthronewere damaged,thechurchremainedopenallthroughthe waryears. Oftenasmanyastwenty Masseswereofferedthereon aSunday-morning,afternoonandevening.

Worshippersofmanynationalitiesfilleditspews. British,AmericanandDutch servicemenexclusivelycomprisedthecongregation.

Asaresultofthetaxon accommodation,American Armyengineersvoluntarily enlargedthenave,which addedtothesize,butnot thebeautyofSt.Mary's.

Theciviliansreturned afterthewarandavigorous parochiallifewasrevived. By1946thepopulationwas 5,000.

Twonewchapels,convertedfromarmyhuts,were openedtoservethesettlementsofNightcliffand Parap. In1935BishopGsellhad receivedtheO.B.E.farhis workamongtheDarwin aborigines.

In1946,theyearofhis goldenjubileeasapriest,he revisitedhishomeland.

Vincent'sSlavery

Thecaptiveswerebought forlabourinthequarries ofmarble,asrowersinthe galleys,orforfarmworkers,asarule.Vincentwas firstsoldtoafisherman, butashecouldnotstand thesea,hewasresoldafter twomonthstoanoldalchemistwhowasengaged intryingtoturnbaser metalsintomorevaluable ones;hisprofitfromhisexperimentshegavetothe poor.

Vincent,astrongyoung manof26,hadtokeephis dozenfurnacesatfullheat forhim.Theoldmanwas alsodabblinginmedicine andtricksofmagic;hepromisedVincentallhisknowledgeandskill,withenormouswealth,ifhewould becomeaMohammedan. ButVincentwasstrongin hisFaith,andalsoinhis hope.

"Godalwaysgavemea firmconvictionthatIshould escape,becauseoftheceaselessprayersIofferedto HimandtotheBlessedVirginMary,throughwhose soleintercessionIfirmly believeIgotmyfreedom."

Meantimetheoldalchemistdied,bequeathing Vincenttohisnephew,who soonsoldhimtooneWilliamGautier,arenegade Frenchpriest,whohadbeen capturedandgainedhis libertybytakingtheturban andbecomingaMohammedan;helivedinthemountainregionswiththree wives.

Vincenttilledthebarren soilforhim,intheappaling heat,wherethemaster's wivescametoseehimat work,charmedbyhisyouth, hisgoodmannersandconversation,andbyhissinging.Oneofthem,the Mohammedan,wassoaffectedbyhischantingofthe PsalmsandhymnstoOur Lady,likethe"Hail,Holy Queen,"thatshereproached herhusbandforhaving givenupsuchabeautiful religion.

ShewasGod'sagentto movehimtoseehisevil state,andwithVincenthe plannedtoreturntohisreligionandtoescape.Ten monthslater,theymadethe crossingtoFranceina smallskiff,atgreatrisk.

OrdealConcealed

Duringthesetwoyearsof servitudenothingwasdone onVincent'sbehalftoseek hisliberation;heceasedto beafreemanandapriest, andwaslefttohisownwits tofindhisrelease;moreover,therewasnospiritual careorhelpforhim.There wereover7,000otherslaves inTunisdistrictatthetime, capturedonthehighseas andcoastsoftheMediterranean,forwhomlittlerescueworkwasdone.

Inthe13thcenturySaints PeterofNolaandRaymond ofPenaforthadfounded theirreligiousOrdersfor redeemingslaves,themembersofwhichwouldtake theplaceofslaveswhen necessary.Theiractivity wasgreatlyreducedbythis time;inanycase,howcould theycopewithsuchnumbers?

Howeverthiswasnothis business;otherswerechargedwithit:theHolySeewas inconstantnegotiationwith theSultanofTurkey,the Overlordoftheseareas,and othergovernmentshadtheir officialsattendingtothe situationintheirownway.

Inanycasethereisno doubthefeltintenselyfor thewelfareofthecaptives, andthatiswhy,whenKing LouisXIIIaskedhim,in 1643,tosendsomepriests forthespiritualandcorporalcareoftheChristian slaves,hegladlyagreed.

Hefirstarrangedanew methodofapproachforhis missionaries. Theonly priestsallowedbytheMoslemswerethoseincaptivity,againstwhomallsorts ofattractionstoapostasy wereemployed.

Intheearlyagesofthe Faith,themonksonMount Carmelwereknownasthe "HermitsofSt.Maryof Carmel."Inthe12thCentury,undertheinspiration ofthegreatCrusader,St. Berthold,theygaveuptheir lifeassolitariesandbanded togetherintoacommunity.

St.Albert,Patriarchof Jerusalem,formulatedthe traditionalCarmeliteRule

andexpresseditinwritten form.ThisRule,whichhas beenthebasisofCarmelite spiritualityeversince,receivedofficialapprobation fromPopeHonoriusIIIin 1226.

FatherDavisspokeatthefirstpublicsessionofthe sixthWorldCongressoftheCatholicPressonJuly7.

HetoldthegatheringofCatholicnewspaperpublishers,Pressdirectorsandeditors:"Weshallmakeno effectiveprogressatallunless,inourcommonefforts tobringthelightofChristtothemindsofmen,we advanceinaspiritoffullallegiancetotheidealsof opennessandfreedomthatcharacterisethemindof contemporaryman

CapeTown:ArchbishopDenisE.Hurley,0.M.I.,ofDurban,notingthat"no effortshavebeenmadetopromoteintegrationinCatholicschools"inSouth Africa,hasaskedifsuchoneffortshould notbemadenow.

InSouthAfricawhite,coloured(mixedrace), AfricanandIndianCatholicsaretaughtinseparate schools.

TheArchbishopcalledattentiontostatements fromthebishops"inthedirectionofamoreChristianapproachtoracerelations."Inparticularhe citedtheir1957StatementonApartheid,which said:"Thepracticeofsegregation,thoughofficially notrecognisedinourchurches,characterisesneverthelessmanyofourChurchsocieties,ourschools, seminaries,hospitalsandthesociallifeofour people.InthelightofChrist'steachingthiscannotbetoleratedforever.Thetimehascometo pursuemorevigorouslythechangeofheartand practicethatthelawofChirstdemands.Weare hypocritesifwecondemnapartheidinSouth Africansocietyandcondoneitinourowninstitutions."

Thefinaldraftofthe :synodalconstitutionsremainedsubstantiallyunchangedfromaprospectus presentedtothepastorsof RomelastJanuary.Only minorchangesweremade inphraseology.

Copiesofthelegislation werenotavailablefordistributionbythetimeofits ratificationbythePope. AuthoritiesoftheRomevicariatedidnotexpectthey wouldbedistributedbefore mid-July.

However,severaldetails ofthevolumeoftheconstitutionsweremadeknown. Itwillspecifythattheconstitutionswillhaveeffectin VaticanCitysincethatarea -althoughlegallyextraterritorialtoItaly-isconsideredinaqualifiedsenseto bepartoftheRomediocese.

Theconstitutionswillbe publishedinLatinandin Italian. Notranslations intootherlanguagesareexpected,sincethesynodal regulationswillnothave legaleffectoutsidetheDioceseofRome.

Accordingtoanauthority oftheRomevicariatethe articlesoftheconstitution maybereviewedfromthe pulpitsofRome'schurches beforetheygointoeffect, sothatallwillbethoroughlyfamiliarwiththemby then.

Thetextoftheconstitu-

Oneauthoritativeinterpretationoftheconstitutionsisofinteresttoclergy throughouttheworldsince thearticlesonprohibitions fortheclergybindnotonly localpriestsbutvisiting priestsaswell,andthose withtemporaryresidence.

Oneoftheprohibitions referstowhattheLatin textgivesas"circensialudicra."Thiswasatfirstinterpretedasforbiddingattendanceatsportsevents, thusforbiddingattendance attheforthcomingOlympic GamesinRome.Thequestionwasimmediatelyraised bypriestshopingtoattend thegames:weretheyforbiddentoattendthem?

OfWorld'sEnd.

Inquirer,S.Highlands( DidnotOurLordsaythat beforetheendoftheworld therewouldbewarsand rumoursofwars,earthquakesandtidalwaves?

R.:Yes.InMatthew24, verses6and7,rumoursof warsandearthquakesare mentioned.

InSt.Luke,21:25,we readOurLord'swords: "Upontheearthdistressof nationsbyreasonofthe confusionoftheroaringof theseaandofthewaves."

Whiletheseareamongthe signswhichwillappearbeforetheendoftheworld, OurLordspokeofmany otherswhichgivenoindicationyetofbeingfulfilled.

Itdoesnotfollow,therefore,thatbecausesuch signswillappear"before" theend,"any"suchsigns asisolateddisastersare signsoftheend.

Theearthquakesand tidalwavesrecentlyreportedfromChilecannotberegardedasindicationsthat theendoftheworldis near.Therearemanyother signsnotyetfulfilled,and St.Paul'swarningtothe Thessaloniansisstilltobe heeded:"Brethren,benot easilymovedfromyour sense,norbeterrified asiftheDayoftheLord wereathand."(2Thess. 2:2).

Christ,theEternalSon ofGod,declaredHimselfto be"theWay,theTruth,and theLife,"andthatHecame intotheworld"togivetestimonytothetruth."(Jn. 18:37).

Whenthetwoladiesenteredthehall,Fabius,after salutinghisdaughter,exclaimed:"Why,mychild,you havecomedown,thoughlate,stillscarcelyfittingly arranged!Youhaveforgottenyourusualtrinkets." Fabiolawasconfused.Sheknewnotwhatanswer tomake:shewasashamedofherweaknessabouther angrydisplay;andstillmoreofwhatshenowthought asillywayofpunishingherselfforit.

Agnessteppedintotherescue;andblushinglysaid: "Itism3)fault,cousinFabius,boththatsheislate,and thatsheissoplainlydressed.Idetainedherwithmy gossip;andnodoubtshewishestokeepmeincountenancebythesimplicityofherattire."

"Really!"askedFabius,"withwhat?"

"Why,"answeredAgnes,withalookofglowing earnestness,andintonesofartlesssimplicity,"hehas girdedmyhandandneckwithpreciousgems,andhas setinmyearsringsofpeerlesspearls."
